We agreed to challenge BEC members to post their testimony about BEC for this week's English Friday challenge.
Apparently a trip to Bandung didn't allow me to write the post on time. I had to drive for nearly 4 hours and so many things followed that didn't let me get my hands on this blog and write the post. I only manage to post a short answer to Weekly Photo Challenge: Depth.
Speaking of BEC, it was started on December 11, 2014 when I posted about AFTA answering Nita's Challenge. There I wrote my concern about my uneasiness feeling on Indonesia's workforce competitiveness especially in terms of foreign language skill. Nita and Ryan commented about things and I told a story about Free Speaking Class that I used to attend in my university.
We then created a Line Messenger group on December 19, 2014, chatted about how we can practice and improve our English Language skill through blog. We created challenges and how they should run. We made our first announcement on January 5, 2015 and the rest is as you all already know. I wrote this story in Indonesian before.
We met some generous people that willingly share their knowledge and moreover their very precious time to be our mentor. Mba Mikan, Mba Yo, Mba Eva and Mba Nana. They voluntarily provide suggestion for members to correct their grammar and even prepare materials every Wednesday.
If the challenge asks me what is BEC to me, My answer definitely is as follow:
BEC is a place where I can put my feet into a cold water like the picture I put in this post. An oasis for my thirst to practice my English, especially after I moved from my last office.
Other than that, BEC is also a place to learn so many things new. If I may say, BEC now already become a community of people with hunger to learn. Having said that, being one of the admins (currently there are 5 admins with Deva and Andik beside the three of us), I learn how to handle a community in a social media. Planning events, conduct a discussion session and many things. Another upside from BEC is that I get to know many new names that become blogger friends.
Well, actually BEC means many more things to me but I lost for words already.
It is heartwarming reading all of the participants' posts this week. Many thanks to you all. May BEC will always be there to facilitate our English Learning needs.

One morning a few weeks ago, while I was getting ready for work, I turned on GMA for a quick check of the weather. But instead of Ginger Zee in front of a big ol' map, I found anchor Amy Robach sitting across from Amy Adams, who was promoting her new movie Big Eyes. I listened to the interview while putting on my mascara.
Amy Robach: Blahblahblah?
Amy Adams: Blahblah…Blahblahblah.
And then…
Amy Robach: What is the best piece of advice ever given to you?
Amy Adams: Keep your eyes on your own paper… Pay attention to your own race. Try not to compare yourself or judge yourself based on anyone else.
I stopped what I was doing and turned to face the TV. In this cutthroat world of go-getters and one-uppers, is it really possible to not constantly compare yourself to your peers? The answer is yes!
A little healthy competition is a good thing and can even push you to do your best. But if you start thinking more about what others are doing and less about your own goals, you end up putting your success on the line. Focus on yourself and great things will come.

Greetings from Southwest Florida,
This week's images I am proud to say are not mine, but were taken by my wife this weekend as we celebrated our anniversary at Circle B Ranch in Lakeland Florida. It is by far, one of our favorite places to visit and I gave Michele a new Canon camera with a zoom lens as an anniversary gift. It didn't take long before we were capturing some nice images side by side, and I couldn't think of a better gift to me than sharing this time with her.
I hope you enjoy this week's images by Michele.
Have a blessed week.

To all YDA members, Parents and Affiliates,
We will not accept NO as an answer!
Youth Diabetes Action is disappointed and does not agree with the replies from the HK Government's Food and Health Bureau, Home Affairs Bureau, and the Community Care Fund that our children are already receiving comprehensive diabetes care from the Government. What our children receive is only basic care just to stay alive – but where is the critical mass of providing them with dignified and healthy lives?
The Government has evaded the issue of our children's health and Hong Kong's worsening problem with diabetes by referring us to other NGOs for financial subsidies when in fact they only offer medical supplies at lower costs – YDA has already been doing this and more for many years. The Government has not acknowledged the truth that YDA is the only charity in Hong Kong that offers direct financial assistance to needy families living with diabetes. They are very wrong!
We absolutely cannot take NO as an answer. Let's work more closely together and fight for the future of our children. We invite you to write as individual parents to the HK Government to protest their short-sighted decision. Please send your letters and emails to the YDA office and we will collate and send on.
Yours sincerely,
Fina Cheng

ATF - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUIDs
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is a critical fluid for lubricating your car's transmission. Selection of the correct type is essential to the smooth operation and durability of the modern automatic transmission. While early designs of self-shifting transmissions provided 3 or 4 gear ratios, modern computer-controlled versions offer 6 or more output speeds, greatly improving driveability and fuel efficiency. As transmissions have become more sophisticated, advanced technology fluids are required to ensure continuous smooth shifting under all driving conditions. Adding further to the complexity of ATFs has been the rapid emergence of different technologies, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which require their own specialised fluids. With Castrol's wide range of Automatic Transmission Fluids you can be confident of finding the right ATF for your vehicle. With over 100 years of experience in developing transmission fluids and being the choice of many leading car manufacturers for factory-fill products, you can be sure that Castrol ATF will give a smoother drive for longer.

Let my Guardian gain some rest xp yesterday, and instead finished two trollshaw-deeds with the Hunter. The Worm-deed was pretty easy to complete, but the crawler-deed took ages. Anyway, now it's done, and I've maxed out my Determination.
I'll try to level my Guardian tonight, if nothing else comes up. I've also decided to use Destiny Points to buy the xp buff. I never use them for anything else, so they might aswell come to good use there.

Patton Oswalt Returns to AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. - With a Secret
Patton Oswalt will return to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the episode "Hot Potato Soup," airing January 31, according to Entertainment Weekly. In the episode, Oswalt will reprise his dual role as brothers Sam and Billy Koenig - and they'll reveal their family secret.
As for what the secret is, given that viewers have already met three identical Koenig brothers - the aforementioned Sam and Billy, as well as Eric - and that there may be as many as 13 Koenig brothers spread throughout S.H.I.E.L.D., it seems a safe bet that their "family secret" is that they're all LMD's, which have become a major plot point in the current season.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Tuesday nights on ABC. "Hot Potato Soup" will air on January 31.

Style: Pumpkin Ale
Date Poured: October 2009
Pours an orangey copper with a quarter-inch tan head. Smells spicy. Clove and nutmeg and light cinnamon in the nose. Sweet spice. Tart and fruity underneath, spiced baked apple aromas.
Lots of spicy flavors as mentioned in the smell. Nutmeg, clove, allspice, cinnamon. Some pumpkin flavors in there as well. Fruity malt behind all the above. Some hops in the finish. Good body and lightly sour. A bit creamy. Pretty easy drinker around the holidays. It's a regular at my place every fall

The series' first visit to Circuit of the Americas is an outright affront to fans of fast on the face of it, as bad as spoiled spawn of your social betters scandalously enjoying outrageously unfair advantages in college admissions – if not worse.
With a gratuitous twenty turns, the nearly three and a half mile road course called COTA was purpose built for Bernie's money burning bunch back in 2012. IndyCar's f-ing F1 invasion continues unabated in Texas, as evidenced by – among other things – this atrocious addition to the sickly, sorry schedule. Another rambling, redundant road course really isn't what the series needs – or what discerning fans want. Turn happy circuits currently make up a full 70% of the slate, relegating IndyCar's oval racing heritage to a level lower than Theresa May's Brexit approval ratings.

Yes, I have a house and a mortgage so this would mean a lot of personal pain.
But sometimes you have to think about the good of the country and the world.
Besides, when pain is inevitable it makes good sense to find the bright side.
Yesterday, under the headline, "The New Youth Normal – Your Parents' Basement," Tyler Durden wrote at Zero Hedge,
Well over a year ago, we first suggested that the conventional wisdom thesis for the bounce in home prices – namely a spurt in household formation – was dead wrong. Sure enough, as has been confirmed empirically, the only reason for the latest dead cat bounce in home prices has been the Fed, and banks complicit in engaging in "foreclosure stuffing." And while it was easy to deflect the topic of just what is driving the housing market (because none of the bulls would want to admit it is just another credit and liquidity-driven bubble) for over a year, with the traditional "things will be back to normal soon" fall back used every time, as time passed and none of the traditional ingredients for a housing recovery fell into place, some started scratching their heads. This came to a boiling point today, when real-estate firm Trulia, looking at the latest Census Bureau data on household formation, finally threw in the towel and rang the panic button as not only have young Americans set anchor in their parents' basement, but even refuse to get a job.
Among other negative signs, "Census 3Q homeownership, vacancy survey shows household formation 'alarmingly slow,' vacancies 'remain stubbornly high,' Trulia chief economist Jed Kolko writes in note." Also, "Slow household formation number is one of the most alarming housing indicators to come out this year," and "Share of millennials living with their parents rose to 31.6% vs 31.4%" year to year.
Notice that Obamacare is designed to encourage this social stagnation—it's much-repeated boast to cover adult children until they are twenty-six years old.
This phenomenon has come about in other countries. Japan has been a deflationary ghost economy for two decades and it has given rise to a national phenomenon of adult-child room-dwellers who refuse to go outside. (Oh, did I forget to mention, another phenomenon is young men who have lost interest in sex?) Anecdotally, there is some evidence that in the US, parents are part of the problem.
Other consequences are for more toxic than a mere absence of income or an ability to contribute to the housing market. Even the few couples who do marry are avoiding children due to economic pressure. This means that we will be feeling the cascading effects of this recession and debt crisis for decades to come.
We need a reset for the sake of future generations.
We need housing to suddenly become so cheap that the basement dwellers can afford to move out of their parents' basements and start forming households.
And we need to learn that these government/central banking boom/bust cycles are not a game. The truly degrade civilization.

Readers comment on oil drilling, the Russian invasion of Georgia, and animal rights advocates versus biomedical researchers.
The debate over drilling is really just a sham
I am writing in reference to Susan Bottcher�s letter of Aug. 23. In it she talks about Congressman Cliff Stearns� dressing down of environmentalist and global warming alarmists, who he says, �just need to get over it,� when it comes to the question of whether or not to drill off our coasts for new sources of oil.
I am in agreement with all of Bottcher�s reasoning in explaining the high cost of gas at the pump. However, I would take the �to drill or not to drill� question a step further.
With over 68 million acres and 10,000 leases already permitted for new drilling, why wouldn�t the oil companies avail themselves of the opportunity to uncover more �black gold� or �Texas tea?� Why would the oil companies want to discover, refine and produce more oil? The reason is simple. If they were able to increase the supply, what would happen to the price of oil? With record profits being recorded each quarter by the oil industry, why would they want to do anything that would disrupt the sweet deal they have going now?
Stearns� position on oil drilling is a sham and the GOP (Grand Oil Party) is engaging in misdirection; just like the carnival barker who invites festival-goers to come watch his shell game.
As long as the debate continues about drilling offshore or in ANWR, the oil companies are well served by maintaining the status quo. From the viewpoint of Exxon/Mobil, BP and Shell, what�s not to like?
Bill Richards,
There�s another side of the Georgia story
Americans, including some Sun readers, like to see the world in terms of an old-fashioned Saturday matinee double feature, good guys battling bad guys until the U.S. Cavalry rides to the rescue. They have framed the current Georgia crisis in those terms, but at the price of denying the facts.
The Ossetians have a history as a separate people of more than 3,000 years and speak a language of their own. Tsarist Russia�s piecemeal conquest of the Caucasus in the 19th century divided their country, with North Ossetia annexed to Russia first and South Ossetia only taken later. A Soviet bureaucrat assigned the autonomous region of South Ossetia to the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1922. Abkhazia, with a similar history, was never connected with Georgia under the Soviets.
After the fall of Communism, South Ossetians naturally wanted to reunite their country. They fought a bitter civil war in the 1990s until Georgia conceded full autonomy. North Ossetia remains a part of Russia.
For this reason, South Ossetians stopped short of demanding national independence and have looked to Moscow as their protector.
After coming to power in 2004, with Putin�s help, President Saakashvili announced his intention of undoing the result of the civil war. Georgia occupied and annexed two small enclaves that same year. On August 7, 2008, Saakashvili ordered an artillery bombardment of the city of Tskhinvali, capital of autonomous South Ossetia, killing some 1,600 people, and provoking an overwhelming Russian response.
Even after his military adventure ended in defeat for the Georgian army and disaster for its people, President Saakashvili is intent on war. He insisted in an interview this weekend that Georgia will conquer South Ossetia and Abkhazia with American help. He asserted that the Bush administration will back him and claimed that he talks with John McCain as often as twice a day!
Saakashvili is a ruthless Georgian nationalist, with a vision like Slobodan Milosevic�s Greater Serbia. No purpose is served by casting his ambition for his country as a struggle for freedom.
The United States has legitimate business interests in oil pipelines that run through Georgia and other states in the Caucasus. They will not be protected by allowing Saakashvili to foment a regional war.
Richard K. MacMaster,
Which former satellite will next fall to the bear?
Well, now that the small country of Georgia is as good as back under Russian control, which former satellite do you think will be next gobbled up by the reawakened bear? The Ukraine must look like a tasty morsel. None of the small, emerging east European democracies can stand up to a voracious Russia.
We just witnessed Poland threatened by nuclear attack from her former master. Is that Russia�s idea of a veiled threat? It�s doubtful Finland, Latvia or Lithuania would dare say nyet to Russian nuclear submarine bases in their respective Baltic ports. Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania? How long before they hear Russian tanks warming up?
Maybe Germany, France, Italy and Scandinavia can band together to scare the bear. They can try diplomacy. The Russians will enjoy reading the empty threats of the truce conditions as they roll into each succeeding east European capital.
As far as the United States is concerned, my hope is that we sit this one out. Europe has proved itself far less grateful for all the American blood spilled there in World War II. Sure, we�ll sell them guns and ammunition. They can knock themselves out. But, cash on the barrelhead this time, please. None of that Lend Lease stuff.
Then again, maybe Western Europe doesn�t really care about what�s going on in east Europe. Most of Europe has gone socialist anyway, and what is socialism if not just a few days of street fighting away from communism?
Philip P. Savino,
Who are the terrorists?
Frankie Trull�s commentary (�Researchers Targeted�, Gainesville Sun, Aug. 21) accuses animal-rights groups of �sensationalizing research scientists as violent animal torturers.� Yet she seems to be the one who is doing the sensationalizing, with her attacks on so-called �animal rights extremists�.
Most animal activists do not condone violence, and agree that it is a morally unacceptable way of protesting the brutality of the multibillion-dollar biomedical research industry.
In contrast, biomedical researchers torture and kill millions upon millions of animals each year, mostly for useless and/or repetitive research. This is done in spite of the fact that animals have different chemistries and physiologies than humans, and results showing positive effects of drugs on animals sometimes have disastrous results when the drugs are administered to humans.
Trull�s campaign to brand animal activists as terrorists is familiar to the animal rights movement. As founder and president of the Foundation for Biomedical Research, Trull has raised huge amounts of money from the biomedical research industry, with which to propagandize the public and lobby Congress to pass laws such as the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act.
The AETA, signed into law in 2006, was supposedly passed to curb terrorist conduct by animal activists. In reality, the act was pushed through Congress to protect the financial interests of the biomedical research industry. The AETA is vague and widely open to interpretation, and restricts our right to free speech and assembly. It unfairly labels animal activists as terrorists even if they participate in activities such as peaceful vigils and nonviolent civil disobedience.
Although most animal rights activists do not commit acts of violence against humans, we make no apologies for taking a stand against cruelty to animals. We will continue to work toward freedom and justice for all beings, and to expose the truth about these true terrorists: the biomedical research industry.
Justine Mayela,

Cold weather is always the best time for comfort food. Hearty soups and casseroles warm us up inside and remind us of the home cooking we enjoyed when we were young. I received a number of comfort food suggestions from my facebook friends, including recipe requests for macaroni & cheese, crock pot dishes, meatloaf, bread pudding and pumpkin bread, just to name a few. Chicken and dumplings was one of the most popular requests. But, at the same time, many folks also asked for lighter versions of some of these favorites.
I decide to create a dish that gives you options. This chicken and biscuit dish starts with a hearty but lighter chicken soup, which can be enjoyed as is. One serving is less than 300 calories. But, for those who aren't as calorie conscious, combining the soup with these cheddar biscuits is my variation on chicken and dumplings. Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Hearty Chicken and Biscuits
makes 3 quarts of soup, about 8 servings
1 1/2 lb Red Potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
9 cu Fat Free Chicken Broth (or stock)
4 Celery Stalks, sliced
4 lg Carrots, skin on, sliced
1 lg Onion, chopped
2 tbl Olive Oil
1 lb Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
1 lb Skinless Boneless Chicken Thighs
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
2 tsp Fresh Thyme, minced
2 tsp Fresh Oregano, minced
2 Bay Leaves
1/4 cu Fresh Parsley, roughly chopped
Put potatoes and 4 cups of chicken broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until potatoes are tender. Puree mixture in a blender or directly in the pot with an immersion blender. Set aside.
Pour olive oil in a large stockpot of medium heat. Add onions, celery and carrots and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1" pieces and generously season with salt and pepper. Add chicken to stockpot and increase heat to high. Cook, stirring regularly, until chicken is opaque. Add thyme and oregano and stir to combine. Add pureed potato mixture, remaining chicken broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add parsley and mix through.
As a hearty soup, one serving is 268 calories and 6.5 grams of fat. As a variation on chicken and dumplings, ladle a serving over a large open-faced cheddar biscuit (recipe below) in a bowl. You can use only half the biscuit if you'd like to reduce the total calorie intake.
Cheddar Biscuits
makes about 15 biscuits
1 pkg Active Dry Yeast
1/2 cu Wam Water (about 105 degrees)
4 1/2 - 5 cu All Purpose Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2 tbl Granulated Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1 cu Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cu Vegetable Shortening
1 3/4 cu Buttermilk, room tempeature
Mix yeast with two tablespoons of flour in a medium sized bowl. Slowly add warm water while stirring to combine. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix 4 1/4 cups of remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Roughly chop the cheddar cheese to make smaller pieces and add it to the flour. Add shortening and mix with a fork until shortening is distributed. Pour yeast mixture and buttermilk into flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add just enough additional flour so that dough isn't too sticky. Don't work the dough too much. Scrape dough onto a floured surface and flatten out to a 1" thickness. Add additional flour if necessary. Dip a 3" biscuit cutter in flour and make clean vertical cuts into the dough, don't twist the cutter. Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet (or on a baking sheet lined with a baking liner). Biscuits should be just touching each other. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. These biscuits are 246 calories and 10 grams of fat each.
Thanks for all of the facebook suggestions. I will try to share my take on a number of the comfort food ideas in future segments.

A lot of men want to know how to get women to chase them. The idea of getting rejected time and time again by women is very painful to a lot of men, so if women chase them, it's easier because he gets to choose what women he wants. You may have women chasing you right now but these women are not the type of women you actually want around. Some women may be chasing you that you are attracted to, but you may think she's always around you just to be friendly.
Women don't normally throw themselves at men. If you've watched a movie where the woman couldn't help herself and just chased the man that she liked, it may have given you some kind of idea that you want this to happen to you. The truth is certain men get chased by certain women. The type of men who get chased by women are the ones who know how to get women to the point where they lose control or just decide that they need to take action to get you.
Women are used to men chasing them. The more attractive a woman is the more attention she usually gets from men. These men usually tell her how beautiful she is, what they want to do to her sexually, etc. If you want women to chase you, you can't be chasing her. You can't be the thirsty dude trying to get her attention and approval like all the rest of the men. To be honest, you like the idea of women chasing you than them actually chasing you. Here's why:
Imagine there's one of the hottest chicks you've ever laid eyes on decides to approach you. Imagine she walks up to you and tells you how handsome you are. Imagine she tells you she wants to have sex with you on the spot. Imagine when you give her your number, she calls you 3 times a day when you don't get a chance to pick up. When you do pick up, she tells you she was thinking about you and wanted to come see you right away. It may seem like something you want but if it happens to you, it seems kinda desperate when women come on too strong and this is exactly why women use self-control when pursuing the men they're attracted to.
You really don't want women to chase you, but you want to lead women in a direction you want them to go. So if you see an attractive woman, when you approach her, you want her to be more willing to do what you want her to do. So if you set a date, you want her to go on that date with you on the day the both of you agreed upon. If you go for the kiss, you want her to allow you to kiss her. When you call or text her, you want her to respond. This may require you work on being the kind of person she will allow to lead her.
So how do you get the power to lead women and be more willing to date you and do what you want them to do? She has to be willing to trust you. If you're trustworthy (that means with her body and her heart) she will be more ready and willing for you to lead her. She knows that if you're taking her in a direction she doesn't want to go, you're not going to force her. You can try to convince her, but you should never force her to do something she doesn't want to do. When she feels like she won't be put in harm's way, she will be more accommodating to your advances. This means you'll need to practice self-control. If you get a woman to a point where she's rolling around with you on the couch, and you want to take things to the bedroom, she may resist. At this point, your head between your legs is determined on this goal, so you may get angry, frustrated, and aggressive. If you're too aggressive, you may make her feel uncomfortable and she may want to leave. To prevent this from happening, you have to get her to a point where she won't resist. You have to make her want it worst than you.
The problem a lot of men have is they're focused on themselves. When you are so horny you can't think straight, it ruins your chances when women change their mind. A man who focuses on the woman is relaxed and in control of his hormones, and he's conjuring up feelings within the woman where she can't help but take him to the bedroom. You want to make the woman hornier than you. You want to seduce the woman. A lot of touching, slowly getting her to where you want her to go. You are slowly touching her in places that get her in the mood. If she's resisting, don't get angry, instead ease her into things. If she's resisting, you may be moving too fast. Slow things down. When the both of you finally do sleep together, and she's been satisfied, you'll notice that all that slow stuff goes out the window. She's more eager to take YOUR clothes off. She's allowing you to undress her and have YOUR way with her.
In order to make it to this point, you'll need a solid foundation of confidence that gives you that power of self-control in these situations. Wanna learn how to build this foundation?

Migrate FRS to DFSR

So I have been doing the TechDays 2006 DFSR and ADFS talks, and during my DFSR presentations when I tell the audience that there few tools to migrate FRS environments to DFSR I get a huge moan.

Super Silver haze gives a strong, clear cerebral high and is non drowsy. Super Silver Haze's skunk parentage makes the plant easier to handle than typical Haze varieties. This strain could be of interest for medical applications.
|TALL 180cm-220cm
|500-600 g/m2
A tall and very frosty plant, the Sativa genetics give the plant its characteristic aromatic incense taste. There is very little in the way of fruit flavours but it is still quite sweet on the taste buds On the exhale this is cut with a slightly more sour after-taste but it is still a pleasing flavour. The high is a very cerebral active buzz. It is an excellent strain for motivation of creative impulses, without any of the "out of control" head rush that can sometimes happen with some Sativa. An all round excellent daytime or social strain.
"Great sativa"
Review by Whizzy
This is a top 3 sativa for me (next to Strawberry Cough and Jack Herer). I treat depression and anxiety, and like other reviewers, I find that this strain features a great, long lasting body high, alongside clearheaded mental uplift. It is happy and energetic, but calm and focused, too.

"Great cross"
Review by Patricia
Love haze strains and love skunk strains, so this was like a strain that was made just for me. Will definitely be back for more.

"Good strain "
Review by Travis
Great strain very nice stone, nice looking plant good node structure deff some good DNA here you want this in your collection for sure
(Posted on 22/08/2016)
"Great crystals, kind of combo high"
Review by George
I love that this strain is sort of a mix of highs. Relaxing like an indica, but a bit energizing like sativa. Good for smoking through the day, as it doesn't wear ya down.

"Happy customer with some advice"
Review by Mark
Just received my second order from you. It took 15 days from order to deliver to eastern US. Thats the positive which cant be overstated. Will be starting these in about 4 weeks and will do a follow up at some time. My advice has to do with the free (and greatly appreciated) seeds. Why are they not labeled as to what they are???? I am a new grower and old timer who just started partaking again. My next buy I hate to say will be from one of the many well trusted sellers who tell you what they are sending you for free....Not saying I won't come back again but this makes no business sense what so ever.

Our flagship products are developed, updated, and enhanced regularly. But even the most proactive development efforts can't address every unique technical requirement our clients encounter during their migration and modernization projects.
Micro Focus's Professional Services teams all around the world confront these challenges regularly because they're constantly involved in supporting customer solution delivery projects. And if they encounter requirements that, for any reason, can't be addressed by the core functionality of a Micro Focus product, our Professional Services team may be able to create what we refer to as Field Developed Solutions (FDS).
FDS are used to overcome challenges which might otherwise hurt project progress or slow down delivery timeframes. FDS are regularly maintained and enhanced in response to new and changing customer requirements.
For example, certain Job Scheduler vendors have worked with Micro Focus development to integrate their scheduling technology within Micro Focus Server Enterprise Edition. Because other vendors have not completed integrations like this, this integration typically needs to be built by the systems integrator or customer staff involved in the project. Micro Focus Professional services has created a configurable FDS that enables basic integration with any job scheduler to be quickly accomplished.
This service, and many like it, can enable you to respond more rapidly to urgent requirements and can mean a much faster and more cost-effective resolution to the technical challenges you face.
Contact us if you have a specific software requirement you would like to discuss.

One day, my mom (who's visiting me from the Big Durian, this time sans her annoying tai-tai friends) and I went shopping in Paddington. It's her second visit in three months (thanks for the headache, mom).
After mere 3 hours of wandering around swiping (her) plastic cards in exchage of goodies and items to fill the massive voids in our lives, mom looked fatigued as she started to drag her "shopping shoes" (which are Sergio Rossi flats, FYI - she said that she can last for hours walking in those. BTW she also has "shopping tops" and "shopping jeans/pants" which are essentially outfits that are super comfortable yet stylish enough, and can be taken off within seconds without ruining her hair too much in fitting rooms, thus are suitable for strenuous, full-forced shopping days) along the pavement.
She said that she's tired but we're just halfway through the shopping area, and wondered if we should call it a day. Right then, I know just the thing that we good mother-loving sons should do in that situation - take her to Max Brenner.
Within seconds after sipping chocolate and munching crepes, my mom felt utterly refreshed, pumped, and ready for round two of plastic-swiping (The sugar was enough to sustain her for another 3 hours of fun!). 'Twas a remarkable day, even though she almost got a salesperson fired at a certain shop with a big horse in it (you should know which one if you're a Sydneysider)!
-> A staple drink. What I love about this is that this is actually THE only chocolate drink that is actually thirst-quenching without much of that unpleasant aftertaste that makes you crave for a glass of water.
Rating: 8.5/10
Look at that wonderful, wonderful machine. Kind of willy wonka-ish, no? I bet half of you would just dunk your hand inside that and lick the chocolate off your palm. The other half of you would just drown your heads and suck the machine dry.
Anyway, while most ladies out there probably have weaknesses towards chocolate, my mom is quite remarkable in the sense that the only word she uttered when looking at that machine was "Ew". Yup, my mother is completely chocolate-resistant. She's probably one of the first women in our family who politely reminded my dad not to waste money on bringing her chocolates from his occasional overseas business trips in the early nineties and bring her the coveted Moschino Chocolate Bag instead. Remember the early nineties, when everybody owns at least one Moschino item? Anyway, the said bag is now a rare, vintage item - but my mom stupidly donated the said bag, in near-mint condition, to our church several years ago!! (all of her bags, vintage or not, are near-mint - it isn't because she takes good care of them, it's because usually, after using them several times, she gets a new one, and the former one would be retired into the depths of her closet and remain untouched for decades. Too bad she's not tech-savvy enough to set up an eBay store, she can make a fortune out of those old bags).
Nowadays, every valentine's day, she always urge members of our family not to waste money on buying her chocolates - she doesn't care much for them AND it's bad for us because our family has a long history of diabetes. Instead, she politely (always, always politely) urges us to waste even MORE money by getting her the kind of chocolates she would enjoy, such as the Mulberry dark chocolate bayswater or the ULTIMATE 'white chocolate bar': the white quilted Chanel 2.55.
Banana Praline Crepe

nderful, because The Sims 3 is finally the game the original aspired to be, a sprawling valley-sized slice of virtual reality that's yours to tinker with entirely, no longer hemmed in by invisible barriers or repetitious characters.
Intrepid, because The Sims 3's decked-out catalogue of deceptively mundane activities illustrates even better how a game where you "tinker with the uneventful" can be so much more eventful than others conventionally packed with explosions, aliens, and magic swords.
Surprisingly, EA didn't mess with core series values, but then, it didn't have to. When your premise hasn't changed ("strategic life simulation") the writing's on the wall: give your base an order of magnitude more to fiddle with, pretty it up, and make all that "extra" even easier to manipulate.
Because it does, The Sims 3 represents a triumph of synthesis and style, an evolutionary leap rooted in progressive customisability, a gracefully architected interface, and several strikingly deep creative tools.
Want the year's most compulsively playable, demographically far flung PC game? You've found it - it's The Sims 3.
The Sims 3: Welcome to the Hood, Neighbour
After you choose a neighbourhood (The Sims 3 ships with a small-town-meets-uptown municipality, although a second is downloadable, gratis) the camera glides across a glinting lake toward a sunny, surreally verdant township, finally hovering, godlike, a quarter mile up.
You've been here before, of course, in games such as Enix's Actraiser (1990) and Lionhead's Black and White (2001), but this time there's an entire for virtually real town waiting below, one teeming with fully revisable Victorian cottages and cozy mission-style homes on up to costly modern McMansions.
From here, you can either move into a household (you're allotted a small startup sum) with precreated Sims or mold a virtual up-and-comer of your own. Do you really want to use someone else's creation? Me neither.
Spending half an hour or so in the new "Create a Sim" body shop preening over a Sim's physiology and disposition is probably a must, not to mention a crucial first step toward assimilating the game's most salient new feature: Traits.
The Sims 3: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue
If you've seen one character creation tool you've seen them all? Wrong.
From eye lid height to nasolabial folds and Joan Jett's raccoon-black eyeliner to tiger-striped costume makeup, The Sims 3 offers a cosmology of anatomical and cosmetic tweaks tucked neatly into five unassuming little buttons.
Just about anything can be pinched or twisted to your liking, while several advanced tools let you make fine adjustments to any facial feature. To give you an idea, you get 13 sliders to twiddle your Sim's eyes alone; another 11 for cheek, chin, and jaw.
In short, with enough patience and careful fussing, you can finally cook up a Sim that's a recognisable ringer for anyone, including yourself.
From the neck down, your options are limited to lateral body size (why can't you change height, EA?), though whether you're thin, fit, or chubby, clothes now hang properly on your Sim's frame.
Sorry voyeurs, no stuffing bras or jockstraps - your sub-neckline options are relegated to clothing presets for different occasions, from everyday v-neck tees and fatigues to formal slacks, skirts, smoking jackets, blouses, wristbands, watches, and earrings. Even your Sim's audio cues have adjustable sliders. Want to change the pitch of your Sim's voice? Yep, you can.
The Sims 3: Gold-digger? Murderer? Mad Scientist? What Do You Want to be Today?
Arguably the most noticeable revision in The Sims 3 involves how personalities take shape. In order to craft a Sim's unique psyche, you select five out of 60 traits, each one influencing how you'll cope with the game's manifold social and economic pressures.
Are you good (helpful, charitable) or evil (delight in others misfortunes)? Bookish (quick reader) or athletic (an exercise maven)? Hydrophobic (no swimming for you!) or never nude (a whimsical nod to Arrested Development's Tobias)?
Each trait has consequences - nothing's "just for fun" - and different combinations present unique challenges. How challenging depends on the number of paradoxes you're willing to juggle.
"Family-oriented" sims make great parents, but add "light sleepers," "hot-headed," and "neurotic" to their profile and they'll suffer debilitating mood swings and growly outbursts when the baby wakes them.
Ambitious sims are happier when advancing quickly in their careers, but click the "unlucky" and "loser" traits and they'll turn sullen when promotions taper off. Create a "hopeless romantic" but tag her as "inappropriate," "mean spirited," and "evil," then watch as she oscillates between craving and destroying the ones she loves.

Sophie is currently studying MA Musicology at the School of Music. Her Postgraduate Taught Scholarship has allowed her to focus on her studies.
Can you tell us a little bit about the programme in your own words?
"The MA Musicology course involves the academic study of music: musical texts are studied in various ways including analytical methodologies, interdisciplinary theories, both critical and cultural, and consideration of historical, political and social contexts. "
What did the Postgraduate Taught Scholarship mean to you?
"The Postgraduate Taught Scholarship was a huge relief. Without a student loan, undergoing further studies is expensive and balancing a part-time job with study is difficult. For me, the scholarship has significantly eased financial pressure, enabling me to minimise the hours I work, and leaving me more time to commit to my course."
Have you been able to secure funding from other places, how else are you supporting your studies?
"I am very lucky to have supportive parents who help me to make ends meet on top of my savings and earnings from a part-time job."
What were your motivations for undertaking a postgraduate degree?
"I have a thirst for all knowledge, and so I was always motivated to pursue postgraduate study. I am a music lover, but also interested in other subjects, particularly humanities, and am keen to stretch myself as much as possible. The Musicology course overlaps with other disciplines, and is challenging, so it was the ideal option for me. "
Why did you decide to do your postgraduate degree at Cardiff?
"After a thoroughly enjoyable and memorably undergraduate experience at Cardiff, I decided to stay here for postgraduate studies. The city is musically vibrant and there is always plenty to do. I have good relationships with lecturers and other students, and am familiar with the resources and ongoings within the Music Department. For a one-year course, it seemed silly to go anywhere else!"
What do you think of Cardiff as a place to live as a postgraduate?
"The university has great facilities for postgraduate students. The Graduate Centre in the Student Union hosts plenty of social events and trips which are great for new students. The study rooms are useful and it is nice to get away from the busier libraries! As a capital city, there are plenty of events that happen year-round so you are never short of anything to do. From a music student perspective, the Welsh National Opera and BBC National Orchestra of Wales are invaluable, and the Music Department has its own Postgraduate Suite."
How do you think your postgraduate course will contribute to your future career plans?
"Although I am unsure of my future plans, a postgraduate course equips you with many invaluable skills. I found that my standard of reading and writing has developed greatly from undergraduate level, and my knowledge base significantly grown. You have to learn to become even more independent when undertaking research and assignments, and you begin to attend conferences and visit educational institutes by your own initiative. Postgraduate study also teaches you to think critically at an even deeper level than undergraduate. These skills are invaluable to any job or career path."
Has studying for a postgraduate degree at Cardiff University lived up to your expectations?
"Postgraduate study has been all I expected it to be: engaging, challenging, and yet still fun. I can't imagine what I would have done instead!"

These ladies were taking a break in the shadow of a pedestrian bridge when I snapped this in 1997. The once quaint floating market just off Mae Khlong was becoming a tourist trap even then, God knows what it has become now.

Pike Place Market
Early morning setup at the Pike Place Market
If you've ever been to Seattle, you've probably been to the Pike Place Market. The Market opened August 17, 1907, and is one of the oldest continually operated public farmers' markets in the United States. It was nearly lost after Pearl Harbor when the local Japanese truck farmers (4/5ths of the merchants) who vended there were interned.
If you arrive early enough you can watch the vendors setting up their stalls. If I were to turn the camera 180*, you would see probably the most famous stall, the Pike Place Fish Market. This is where large salmon are thrown through the air from the ice bins to the men behind the counter to be cleaned and then thrown back. If you would like to see this, check out their live webcam feed: http://www.pikeplacefish.com/webcam.html
Yes, We Have No Bananas.
(click to enlarge)
Fruit seller in an Ambalangoda market.
There are about two dozen banana varieties in Sri Lanka. Some are as small as my thumb and as sweet as candy. They grow wild around most of the island and are a ubiquitous snack food, appearing on practically every table top and counter in the country. The title of this post isn't about the song of that name but about the South Asian practice of shaking the head "no" while saying "yes". It still confuses me after all these years.

For those of you wondering about this month's meeting (which normally would be on tonight according to the normal schedule of the third Monday of the month), it's been postponed for a week (to the 26th of September) so that we can get Jose back from BUILD to tell us all the exciting stuff he's learnt, what XAML's future is in Windows 8, and what other news has finally been unembargoed.
Of course, the release candidate of Silverlight 5 was also released recently, so I may talk a bit about that if we have time.
Note that we have a new room at the City Hotel starting this month, with it being held in the "Emperor Lounge". We meet at 6pm, with a 6:30pm start.
Sorry for the late notice! Hope to see you there…

AI and Industrial Automation: Don't Count the Incumbents Out!
Internet giants like Google's Waymo, Uber, and Amazon as well as fast-growing disrupters like Tesla keep grabbing all the headlines on autonomous vehicles, commercial drones, or other advances in AI-powered industrial automation. But the authors of a new book, What To Do When Machines Do Everything? argue that we should not discount the chances that industrial incumbents such as GE or Siemens, or automotive stalwarts like BMW or Mercedes, might actually win the key battles against powerful and richly-funded tech AI companies due to their superior knowhow in critical areas.

[The Colorado Trail is] a legacy which will feed the quest for adventure, and precipitate the special dimension of life imparted by the spirit of the outdoors. The dream has come true.
~Bill Lucas
In 1973 Bill Lucas, Regional Forester for the Rocky Mountain Region, and Merrill Hastings of Colorado Magazine conceived the idea of a "Rocky Mountain Trail" between Denver and Durango. Bill attributes the credit back to the Roundup Riders in the 1940s, but he was the one to push the idea into reality.
In 1984, Ed Quillen published an article in the Denver Post called 'The Trail to Nowhere', in which he admonished the Colorado Community for not following through on plans for the trail. By 1987 the trail was completed.
Today, the CT passes through eight mountain ranges, six national forests, and six wilderness areas across the span of 486 miles. Elevations range from a low of about 5,500-foot at the Denver end of the trail to a high of 13,271 feet on the slopes of Coney in the San Juan Mountains. The Colorado Trail Foundation estimate that roughly 150 people thru-hike the CT each season.
This year, I'm aiming to be one of them.
When I first started hiking, the "whys" all filtered back to my own fulfillment. Because out there, I am sane. Out there, I am put in my place and so far I've always found a way through. This bolsters confidence, allowing me to dare to do it again.
Out there, I finally accepted that no man is an island. I would not have succeeded on the PCT if it weren't for my Trail Family, Trail Angels, and family and friends back home. And I'm counting on each one of you to send love my way to help me accomplish the CT. Words of encouragement are also and always a big deal!
I've enlisted the help of local friends for support. Lotus & Jay LotsofLove are my kick-off brigade. Rocket Scientist Doug is a mid-way resupply hiking buddy. Christina & Doug of 'Yeti & Co' will be playing home base while Sherry & Rod SummerAficionados are storing my worldly possessions and mailing drop boxes (boxes of food I've pre-packed and labeled) which will, ideally, meet me at POs along the way.
Because of who I am and because of the support of people like you, I advance confidently in the direction of my dreams; able to live the life I've imagined.
But there are many who are not so lucky. Working at the Family & Intercultural Resource Center, I come face to face with those who can't dare to dream. Single mothers, younger than myself, barely able to feed and support their children; Seniors who spent a lifetime saving up, then losing everything in the market crash, now can't afford vital medications.
The staff at FIRC work every day to help local families overcome difficult situations and to come out stronger for it. Such assistance often necessitates some level of short-term monetary support, be it to cover an overdue heating bill, rent, or medical assistance. The truth is, we need your help to continue offering these chances to the Summit County Community.
Because I believe I can complete this trail, and because I believe in the work we do here at FIRC, I ask that each of you consider giving. If I can walk 500 miles, you can give at least .01 cent per mile, or .1o per mile, or whatever you can. Just pick your total, and give.
The easiest thing about helping those in need, is that when you've got nothing, a little seems like a lot.

Poetry Pause- Thoughtful Voyeur: Woman and Cantaloupe
I am soooo burned out after an afternoon of working on all sorts of projects that needed my attention… about two weeks ago. So, here's another poetry pause that I found a couple days ago that made me feel refreshed in heart and mind. Now off to actually MOVE my computer stiffened body… Enjoy!
Thoughtful Voyeur: Woman and Cantaloupe
by: Cindy Gregg
Watch her select it
over sassier summer
fruits, carved offerings
of purple, yellow,
red in a supermarket
stunned with
fluorescent light.
Seeing her slice it open,
ponder how the melon
secrets its exquisite
pastel beneath a rough,
webby exterior, silent
protest to the showy
outer life of
its every former
neighbor – apple,
banana, strawberry, grape.
Later on, recall
the knife's decisiveness,
the sudden exposure of
such a pleasing hue,
its juicy glisten
brightening, gladdening
her stark white kitchen
with a brief and modest blush.
(from the wonderful Writer's Almanac on 06 July, 2010).

Much has been written over the past few years about the domestic oil and natural gas industry. Significant new deposits have been located and new technologies have made available previously inaccessible oil and gas. The result has been a boom time for drillers, refiners, distributors and owners and operators of ancillary businesses. Somewhat lost in the excitement, however, are the challenges and negative outlook for alternative energy businesses.
It is hard to believe, in light of current natural gas and oil production rates in the United States, but just a few years ago many were predicting that alternative energy would be the future primary sources of energy in the U.S. The two leading alternative sources – solar and wind power – were viewed as the cleanest and/or safest alternatives to coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear power. The expectation was that, with the correct amount of federal and state government support and subsidy, both would become the preferred sources.
Over the past decade, and primarily in the past five years, new deposits or newly-available sources of oil and gas have upended many price-based predictions. Still-lingering questions about the merits of the global warming case have worked to remove some of the moral argument for alternative energy. As a result, absent Federal government intervention (discussed below), the future of both wind and solar appear bleak for several reasons.
First, the development of solar and wind power has never been market driven. Both have relied on substantial government subsidies to survive and expand. Such subsidies have been justified by climate-related concerns, but are increasingly more difficult to justify as oil and gas in the U.S. becomes more available and potentially cheaper.
Second, solar and wind both have reliability problems. One cannot produce electrical power with windmills on a calm day or solar power at night or on a cloudy day. Until cost-effective and large-scale storage becomes available, solar and wind will remain spotty and limited power resources.
Third, to the extent a business model for wind and solar exists, it depends on an overall increase in the price of coal, oil and natural gas. Right now, those prices are not rising, and it would appear they are unlikely to rise in the near-, mid- or long-term. Of course the federal government could impose draconian taxes on all three, driving up their prices to levels that would make solar and wind more attractive. As a political matter, that is unlikely.
President Obama, seeking to avoid the political battle, outlined a series of steps that his administration will take to reduce carbon emissions. The anticipated result of such steps—which include an EPA-mandated limit on greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants—is expected to boost the use of natural gas and wind and solar power, while reducing the use of coal. The political battles may not be completely avoided, as several Congressional leaders and business groups have promised stiff opposition to, and challenges of, the administration's efforts.
The implications for companies in the alternative energy space are significant. Market forces have made their products uncompetitive absent significant subsidies, drastic taxes on competitive sources and/or government intervention. The political landscape does not bode will for any of those outcomes. Accordingly, many are being forced to rewrite their business plans and financial projections.
Several large bankruptcies of alternative energy companies have made headlines—Solyndra, Abound Solar, Beacon Power and Ener1—but the real news may be that most companies in the solar and wind power industry are confronting significant headwinds. The general, world-wide economic landscape is not good. The U.S. is experiencing a tepid recovery, the European Union may be in a new recession and China has signaled that growth is slowing. As a result, the appetite for continued subsidies for alternative energy are diminishing. Moreover, the prices for petroleum and natural gas are unlikely to rise materially for quite some time, making more expensive alternative sources less attractive. Finally, the solar energy industry is confronted with excess capacity, as a result of inadequate demand.
What does all of this mean? It would seem that, absent significant, additional federal government intervention, the future of alternative energy in the US will be difficult, at best. An abundance of low-cost natural gas and oil in the American market makes alternative energy uncompetitive. Federal government intervention – at least on the level necessary to overcome the cost disadvantage – is all but impossible politically. Alternative energy providers will struggle, particularly as sources of financing recognize that, whatever the moral case, alternative energy is, for the near-term, a risky investment.

Seeds&Chips Milano 2019
May 6 - May 9
Seeds&Chips – The Global Food Innovation Summit is one of the top Food Innovation events worldwide. It is dedicated to showcasing national and international talent and cutting-edge solutions from around the world.
Why Attend
- Meet leading global entrepreneurs, investors and executives building the future of food.
- Explore new solutions, innovations and trends.
- Showcase your products, demo your apps, find investors and reach a large public and industry audience.
- Network, share ideas and build synergies with other talented like-minded companies.
Food Innovation
Food Innovation concerns the whole food chain, from farm to fork: the increasing world population and protein consumption, climate change, scarcity of available resources, socio-demographic changes, protection of health and irreversible and overt changes in the processes of choice and purchase are all important to food innovation. We are changing the ways in which food is produced, processed, distributed, communicated and consumed. Never before in history has man faced challenges so urgent and never before has he had access to the technological infrastructure to address them, and still there remains so much potential to be discovered.
"Seeds&Chips is a conference like no other—bringing together innovators and entrepreneurs, farmers and eaters, policy makers and government leaders and a lot of other thinkers and doers who are working to make the food system more environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable. I'm honored to participate and look forward to continuing to engage with the organization and the incredible work it is cultivating."
Danielle Nierenberg – Food Tank – President & Founder

By Polyana da Costa • Bankrate.com
Mortgage rates climbed this week after the Fed signaled that it could raise short-term interest rates sooner than expected.
The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 4.51 percent from 4.46 percent the previous week, according to the Bankrate.com national survey of large lenders. One year ago, that rate stood at 3.75 percent. Four weeks ago, it was 4.48 percent. The mortgages in this week's survey had an average total of 0.34 discount and origination points.
The benchmark 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 3.56 percent from 3.48 percent last week.
The benchmark 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage rose to 3.36 percent from 3.26 percent.
The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate jumbo rose to 4.53 percent from 4.46 percent.

The bill in the Texas Legislature that would allow microbrewers to sell their product on the premises of their breweries appears to be dead. I don't know why this seemingly sensible idea never got any traction — after all, wineries are allowed to sell their product on-site, so why discriminate against beer?
Actually, there are two bills, although they are word-for-word identical, just with different authors listed. (I'm not sure why they do this; I'm sure it makes some kind of sense in the Bizarro World of lawmaking.) But both House Bill 1926 by Houston's Jessica Farrar and HB 2647 by Dripping Springs' Patrick Rose were referred to the Licensing and Administrative Procedures Committee on Feb. 28 and March 13, respectively, and have been stuck there ever since. In theoretical fantasy world, it is still technically possible for the bills to move through the process and become law, but the legislative session ends on May 28, and anyone who watches the Lege knows that any bills that haven't emerged from committee at this late date probably never will. Even Friends of Texas Microbreweries seems to have given up – their blog hasn't been updated since January.
It's so sad. I'm sure on-site sales will happen eventually, but now it will be 2008 at the earliest, as the Texas Lege only meets every other year.
UPDATE: In my similarly worded report on this for The Austin Chronicle, Saint Arnold's Brock Wagner agrees with what Karla says about beer distributors in the comments section.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, or so the saying goes. For me, this means taking the next step in my freelance writing and communications consulting career by introducing my new website for my company, Simple Communications. I've worked with excellent graphic designers AMDS, a Canadian design company that never ceases to amaze me. They are a perfect fit to create my website because their talent and ability to conceptualize new and engaging ways to present information echoes what I strive to achieve in all aspects of my freelance writing and and communications - to provide new and engaging ways for clients to reach their audiences and communicate their messages simply and clearly.
So, this the first day of the rest of my life and with that, I'm breathing new life into this blog too. I had left it alone for quite a while, knowing I have to have a website too in order to show more dynamically what I can do for people. Now, with the website done, I'm excited to actively build this blog again.
And with that, ta-da: my website is revealed. Please visit www.simplecomm.ca to have a look at my portfolio and how I can work with people to improve their writing and communications projects, big and small. I'm very excited to begin this new adventure. Let's see where it leads!

Book – Hossien is looking for someplace to live. Vesta has never lived anywhere else at all. Cher shouldn't be living here. And Collette, according to her former boss, shouldn't be living at all. Everyone at 23 Beula Grove, a run-down boarding house in South London, has a secret, from the scummy landlord to the quiet man who lives upstairs and never tries to make friends, but some of their secrets are more dangerous than others.
The Killer Next Door isn't much of a mystery; although there's some ambiguity over who the killer is, the possible suspects are narrowed down pretty quickly. That isn't the focus of the book, though, which is instead concerned with how all these very different people make a life for themselves in something less than the best of circumstances, how they help each other out when help is needed, and how they betray each other without ever meaning to. I enjoyed spending time with these characters, and I'll be making time to read Marwood's first novel, The Wicked Girls.

Participating in the Kindle Select Program
I've enjoyed participating in the Kindle Select Program. This is a fairly controversial topic for many authors, so I thought I'd discuss my experience with it. I enrolled my first book, YA dystopian novel The Threat Below, in this program. It's been a learning experience. A little bit of background first – what is Kindle Select? There's a programContinue reading
