November is Transgender Awareness Month. This is a time to celebrate and support the trans community, as well as promote education about what it really means to be transgender. Here at Bookish, we believe books are vital to that education. We've rounded up 21 titles that feature incredible transgender characters and authors for readers of all ages. This is an incomplete and ever-growing list of titles. Here we have newer releases, to better highlight books that readers may have not yet come across. It's a place to start, and we encourage our readers to explore books beyond this list and let us know in the comments or on social media which ones resonate with them.
Picture Books
Red by Michael Hall
Michael Hall tells the story of a crayon who is having an identity crisis. His label says red, but everything he tries to draw comes out blue! The other crayons insist that Red try harder, apply himself more, and really focus on being red. It isn't until someone asks Red to draw a blue ocean, that Red realizes what he truly is: a blue crayon in a red wrapper. Red, who had been downtrodden after failed attempts to create red images, is now joyous! He draws blue jeans, a blue whale, and blue birds. His new identity is accepted by the other crayons, though a few try to claim they knew it all along. This is one of our editor's favorite children's books. The inspiration came from Hall's own experiences with dyslexia, but the narrative has also been widely embraced by the trans community. It's a wonderful story about being true to who you are that any child can relate to, and it's particularly poignant for a reader who feels as though they too have been labeled incorrectly.
Introducing Teddy by
Errol and his teddy bear are best friends. They ride bikes, play in the park, have tea parties, and more. Every day is a new adventure… until Errol realizes that his friend is quite sad. This bear's fluffy heart is burdened with a secret: Her name is Tilly, not Thomas. She confesses that she was afraid to tell Errol. What if he didn't want to be friends anymore? Errol assures her that their friendship is more important to him than anything else, including whether she's a girl or boy teddy bear. Of course he accepts her for being who she is! Tilly happily removes her bowtie and places it atop her head, and Errol races to call their friend Ava so they can go to the park and play. This picture book, inspired by author Jessica Walton's father's transition from male to female, acknowledges the very real fear in coming to loved ones with a secret that they may not accept. It also shows readers that true friends want you to be happy and will love you no matter what.
Rough Tough Charley
Charley Parkhurst's life was legendary. He ran away from an orphanage at age 12, learned to work with horses, traveled to California during the Gold Rush, and later became one of the bravest and fastest stagecoach drivers on the coast. When he died, it was discovered that Charley had been born a woman. Little is known about why Charley presented as a man. Maybe that is the gender that felt true to him, or maybe he saw the limits of being a woman at that time and wanted the freedom to work, vote, and do as he pleased. What we do know is that he was a talented and brave human being. His story should inspire all readers who strive to be true to themselves. Readers interested in a more modern biography should check out I Am Jazz by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings.
Middle Grade
George by Alex Gino
A middle grader named George learns to stand up for herself in Alex Gino's debut novel. When she learns that this year's school play is Charlotte's Web, 10-year-old George is determined to win the coveted role of Charlotte. But her teacher doesn't even allow her to audition because, like everyone else, she believes that George is a boy. But George isn't ready to give up just yet. Both hopeful and heartbreaking, George's tale about asking the world to see her for who she is will resonate with readers and stay with them long after they've turned the final page.
The Other Boy by M.G. Hennessey
Twelve-year-old Shane Woods is keeping a secret. He hasn't told his baseball team, his best friend, Josh, or his crush, Madeline, that he's about to start taking testosterone so that his growing body can keep up with other boys his age. His friends have only ever known him as a boy, and he isn't sure how they'd react if they knew the truth. Before he can work up the nerve to tell them, a bully learns his secret and decides to spread the word. The aftermath is brutal, and Shane isn't sure if he'll be able to survive it. Thankfully, he isn't alone; through a support group he meets a trans girl named Alejandra. M.G. Hennessey's middle grade novel doesn't shy away from tough moments, but it still leaves readers with a hopeful ending.
Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky
In Grayson's dreams, she's a girl wearing beautiful dresses. She keeps these thoughts from those around her, fearing what they might say, but when she's given the chance to audition for the school play, she decides to take the risk. The Greek goddess Persephone is the lead role, and Grayson relates to her captivity in a profound way. Through the play, Grayson begins to find the support she needs from the director (a teacher) and her fellow cast members.
Young Adult
If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo
It's an understatement to say that representation is important; it's vital to creating accepting and understanding communities. This is why we're particularly excited about this book, which uses a trans model on the cover. After living with her mom while she transitioned from Andrew to Amanda, high school senior Amanda Hardy transfers schools and moves to Lambertville, Tennessee to live with her estranged father. Being the new girl is always a challenge, but things start to look up when Amanda meets the charming and handsome Grant Everett. Inspired in part by author Meredith Russo's own experiences as a trans woman, this is a beautiful and genuine coming-of-age story about being yourself and falling in love.
The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson
Lisa Williamson's novel about two trans teenagers was inspired by the individuals she met while working at the Gender Identity Development Service in London. The story revolves around Leo and David. Their friendship begins with math tutoring, but really takes off when David learns that Leo is trans. David, who has longed to be a girl for years, is amazed to meet someone who understands those feelings and is passing. Together, they learn to rely on each other for support. Halfway through the novel, David chooses the name Kate, though he continues to use he/him pronouns. His journey shows that the transition process can be slow and steady, often moving forward a step at a time. With David and Leo, Williamson wanted to convey the different experiences that trans men and women go through. She told the Guardian about the teens she met with: "Some encountered bullying and prejudice, others overwhelming support and kindness. There is no universal experience and I wanted to communicate this."
Beast by Brie Spangler
Who doesn't love a modern fairy tale adaptation? Brie Spangler's Beast is about a 15-year-old boy named Dylan who doesn't quite fit in. As a specimen, yes, he's intimidating: He's a towering 6'4" and hairier than a "throw rug." Girls are afraid of him; guys mock him. When Dylan slips and falls from the roof, his mother worries that it was intentional and signs him up for group therapy. That's where he meets Jamie. She's smart, beautiful, and trans. On the first day of therapy, she told the group that she's a trans girl, but Dylan wasn't paying attention. This is an enchanting and insightful tale about breaking stereotypes and accepting people just as they are.
When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore
Readers looking for just a touch of fantasy should pick up Anna-Marie McLemore's tale of friendship and magical realism. She tells the story of Miel and Sam, best friends who would do anything for each other. Sam has lived as a boy for most of his life and finds solace in the Pakistani practice of bacha posh, where a daughter in a family without sons is raised as a boy until she's of marriageable age. Sam has wondered if he'd grow up and want to be a woman, but in his heart feels like he truly is meant to be a man. This is a sensitive and rich tale that readers won't soon forget.
Beyond Magenta by Susan Kuklin
Through interviews and photography, author Susan Kuklin captures the lives of six American teenagers. Some identify as transgender, others as genderqueer, and all provide valuable insight into the lives of young adults who are breaking free of rigid gender stereotypes. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly says, "Readers will gain a real understanding of gender as a spectrum and a societal construct, and of the challenges that even the most well-adjusted, well-supported transgender teens face."
The Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan
In this novel by Jenni Fagan, readers will meet Constance and her pre-teen daughter, Stella, a trans girl. Constance and Stella are living in Scotland in 2020, battling extreme weather and natural disasters that seem to suggest that the end of the world might be close at hand. When a newcomer named Dylan comes to town, their lives will become entwined in ways they could not have foreseen. For readers who enjoy apocalyptic fiction, this novel is sure to hit all of the right notes. We even called this book one of the must-read novels of this summer.
This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel
Rosie thought that she had four sons until the day that her youngest, three-year-old Claude, told her otherwise. Claude expressed a desire to be called Poppy, and Rosie and her husband Penn began to adjust to the challenges of raising a transgender girl. This revelation, of course, had a big impact on Poppy and her family, and led them to move across the country to find a more accepting community to live in. Laurie Frankel's forthcoming novel delves into the joys and trials of parenting a transgender child, and the experiences chronicled here will resonate with all readers—not just those who are in Rosie and Penn's shoes. Readers can find this book on shelves beginning January 24 of next year.
Bad Boy by Elliot Wake
Elliot Wake (formerly known as Leah Raeder) writes about the life of a transgender male YouTube vlogger in this exciting new romantic thriller. Renard Grant has two lives: a public life as an internet personality, and a hidden life as a member of Black Iris, a vigilante group that specializes in taking down rapists. When Renard is accused of rape, however, it turns his world upside down—particularly because Renard himself has been the victim of assault, albeit in a female body. Wake's new novel hits shelves on December 6.
Full Fathom Five by Max Gladstone
If you're looking for a legal thriller set in a fantasy world, check this book out. It takes place on the tropical island of Kavekana. Kai, our transgender heroine, is a priest who creates gods. Her creations accept sacrifices and protect worshipers from other gods, but they lack self-awareness… or so Kai thought. When she attempts to save one of her creations from dying, she's injured and put out of work. With free time on her hands, she starts to investigate why her gods are dying and is shocked to uncover a conspiracy. This is the third book in Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence series. Each novel can be read as a standalone, though the tales all take place in the same universe and dedicated readers will see some characters pop up in more than one book.
Transcendent edited by K.M. Szpara
This collection's subtitle is "The Year's Best Transgender Speculative Fiction," and we think you'll agree. These stories take on gender and identity in fascinating and thought-provoking ways, sometimes directly, sometimes through metaphor. Kirkus wrote, "The speculative scenarios match with transgender perspectives in such complementary, productive ways that one wonders why it hasn't been done more often. Traditional boundaries of identity and structure are blessedly absent, as this anthology challenges readers' expectations in ways that few have managed to do before."
Man Alive by Thomas Page McBee
While beginning his transition from female to male, Thomas McBee found himself examining masculinity in a whole new way. He begins his memoir by recalling two vivid memories: In one, a mugger threatens his life and then lets him go free. In another, he comes clean to his mother about the abuse he suffered at his father's hands. This kickstarts an insightful examination of what is means to be a man in the biological and cultural sense of the word. In a starred review, Kirkus writes, "This is quite a story, masterfully rendered."
In the Darkroom by Susan Faludi
After undergoing gender reassignment surgery at the age of 76, Stefánie decided to reach out to her daughter. The two had barely spoken over the last 25 years, and the email came as a shock to Stefánie's daughter, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Susan Faludi. The exchange prompted Faludi to travel to Hungary to visit Stefánie and examine who her father had become during their long absence from each other's lives. This book not only examines Stefánie's identity and her complicated relationship with masculinity, it also explores the existing prejudice in Hungary and the reforging of a bond between parent and child.
A Murder Over a Girl by Ken Corbett
It's reported that one in two transgender individuals are sexually abused or assaulted at some point in their lives. The Human Rights Campaign notes that "it is clear that fatal violence disproportionately affects transgender women of color." This makes psychologist Ken Corbett's book about a 2008 murder more vital than ever before. Fourteen-year-old Brandon McInerney shot and killed Larry King, a classmate who had begun to explore gender identity and had recently started going by Leticia. Corbett, frustrated by the media's avoidance of the role gender and race played in the crime, traveled to California to attend the trial. This is a challenging and heartbreaking read, but an incredibly important one.
Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis Nutt
While some individuals realize that they are trans later in life, others know it from a very young age. Nicole knew it from the time that she was little, always insisting that she was female, while the rest of her family referred to her as Wyatt. Nicole's family reexamines their rigid views about gender in this book by Pulitzer Prize-winning science reporter Amy Ellis Nutt. Nicole's twin brother Jonas says he always knew that she was a girl. Her mother, Kelly, realizes that loving and supporting her child is more important than anything. But Wayne, Nicole's father, is a Republican and Air Force veteran who struggles with the transition. Readers will watch him evolve into a passionate advocate for trans rights. Coming out as trans to one's family can be incredibly stressful, but this book offers great insight and hope that sometimes love really does conquer all.
Trans Bodies, Trans Selves
This massive tome is written by and for trans individuals. With over 200 trans or genderqueer contributors featured in this book, readers are sure to find a voice and a story that they relate to. The book explores gender, race, religion, mental health, parenthood, and so much more. Advocate, who named it one of the Best Transgender Nonfiction Books of 2014, said, "At over 672 pages, Trans Bodies, Trans Selves looks to be the most comprehensive trans resource ever published." It also serves as a reminder that there is no right or wrong way to be trans because each experience and expression of gender is wholly unique.

Oscar Review: Ordinary People (1980)
They don't make movies like our next film anymore. Winner of 4 Academy Awards and nominated for 2 others, Ordinary People is a phenomenal piece.
We meet young Conrad Jarrett (Timothy Hutton) soon after his return to school after spending time in a psychiatric hospital. Slowly getting back into the swing of things with school, friends, the swim team, and life at home Conrad struggles to find his place.
Conrad's father (Donald Sutherland) tries to treat him like a normal teenager, while his mother (Mary Tyler Moore) tries to pretend like nothing ever happened. He realizes more and more how far removed he is from his former life and how his friends aren't as understanding as he needs them to be.
After visiting a new doctor (Judd Hirsch), Conrad begins to grapple with the death of his brother, his subsequent suicide attempt, and how he will move forward in a meaningful way. When he quits the swim team and doesn't want to do many of the things he used to, his mother only becomes more detached from Conrad and hostile about her family's fortune over the past year.
As his life begins to come back together, Conrad tries to rekindle the bonds with his parents and he steps out of his shell enough to forge a relationship with Jeannine (Elizabeth McGovern). After a number of cold encounters with his mother and a major breakthrough with his doctor, Conrad finally turns a corner, though nothing will ever be the same.
His directorial debut, Ordinary People earned Robert Redford his only competitive Oscar. Timothy Hutton's role as tormented teen Conrad Jarrett won him a statuette as well and made him the youngest actor ever to win a Best Supporting Actor honor at the age of 20.
This is one of those films that I can watch over and over and is one of my all time favorites. Though I can't identify with the specific situations faced by Conrad - suicidal thoughts, loss of a brother, distant parents, etc. - I have always been able to find a little bit of myself in his struggles to find himself and to make sense of the world around him.
Ordinary People is of an older style of filmmaking that takes things at a slower pace and allows the characters to really drive the story. Interactions between Conrad and his mother, for example, seem to take a long time in order to make the viewer feel the tension in their relationship. Deeper than that, I think, is the fact that taking such large steps and finally developing a meaningful existence takes time and we are asked to walk alongside Conrad as he tries to figure it all out.
It's a great film and I think if you allow yourself to really engage the story you will be drawn in and fall in love with it as I did. Enjoy!

Poetry – Issue 23 | November 2015
Two Poems by David Havird
The Spell
I picture you with a knife
in one hand, the sandal
upside down in the other,
wanting a third
to handle the mirror.
Follow me
your footprints spell
in the dust. Amid the rubble
on either side
of the Street of Tombs,
not a stele standing. Where
have you swished off to, cruised
through what gate's leer
(I've come ashore
with harpoon eyes),
toxic white
with mulberry lips,
swinging your hips like a fishtail?

Universal Tracks Not Quite DRM-Free
Remember that announcement regarding Universal's decision to release DRM-free tracks via Rhapsody? Another major label taking the plunge into the next logical step of the music industry evolution?
Not so much.
Wired has word that those tracks are actually going to be watermarked--something of a DRM-lite, which gives labels the ability to track purchased songs that have leaked to P2P networks.
The news is still a bit fuzzy at the moment, as to whether they will be used for that purpose, or if this is just all part of Universal's "test." Perhaps if enough purchased tracks are leaked to the Web, Universal will consider this to be a failed experiment, and will be reverting back to the heavy DRM protection.
Either way, it's probably best to just keep your Pussycat Dolls to yourself.

Studies using zebrafish models for fear and anxiety related disorders and behavior often focus on bottom dwelling and tank diving in novel tanks or light-dark boxes.
Bottom dwelling behavior and latency to start exploring the upper half of the tank are important indicators of inhibited exploration, which is considered indicative of stress and anxiety. These are useful parameters in the study of anxiolytic and anxiogenic properties of certain compounds. Side-view tracking is a practical approach to measure these parameters.
Set-ups such as open fields and light/dark boxes require a top-view approach to assess whether animals prefer certain sections of the tank.
The location of the fish in the tank, whether seen from a side or top view, is important and relatively straight-forward to measure. However, many researchers argue that anxiety and stress in fish are also indicated by reduced speed and more erratic movements. This is more diffcult to measure manually, but it is an easy task for video tracking software.
Some studies require an in-depth study of swimming behavior (for example those of a range of potential anxiogenic or anxiolytic substances). The challenge here is that fish swim in 3D. A true assessment of path shape, erratic movement, even velocity cannot be fully gained from a side or top view.
The analysis of 3D swim patterns offers a more detailed analysis of the effect of compounds. For example, at the Kalueff Lab (Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA) they found that when examining different effects from known anxiolytics and anxiogenics, 3D tracking revealed much more pronounced differences in zebrafish behavior. In addition, some behavioral effects were even undetected when observations were limited to 2D video tracking.
To analyze swim patterns in 3D, researchers can use the Track3D add-on to the video tracking tool EthoVision XT. Based on the calibration of the arena and subsequent combination of the top-view and side-view track from EthoVision XT, Track3D visualizes and analyzes the complete swim path of the fish.

Student halls: rights and rules for eviction
Legal procedures your landlord must follow to evict you if you are an occupier with basic protection, such as a student in halls.
Legal status
You are probably an occupier with basic protection if you live in:
- university halls of residence
- the same building as your landlord but don't share living accommodation with them
Your landlord must follow certain legal procedures to give you notice and evict you. This applies even if you don't have a written tenancy agreement.
Ask the council for help if you're facing eviction
Notice for fixed-term agreements that have expired
Your landlord doesn't have to give you written notice to leave if you have a fixed-term agreement that has expired.
Your landlord must get a possession order from the court when they want to evict you. The court sends you a copy of the application for a possession order.
Notice for fixed-term agreements that haven't expired
Your landlord can't evict you if you have a fixed-term agreement that has not expired, unless there is a break clause in your tenancy agreement that allows this.
Your landlord must give the amount of notice set out in your agreement and then get a possession order from the court.
Notice for periodic agreements
A periodic agreement means your tenancy runs from one rent period to the next, with no set date for ending.
Your landlord must give you a written notice to quit if you have a periodic agreement. They don't have to give a reason for wanting you to leave.
To be valid the notice from your landlord must:
- end on a day that your rent is due
- be for a minimum of 4 weeks or a month, depending on how often you pay your rent
- contain certain legal information, including telling you that you should get advice if you're not sure of your rights
Court hearing
Once the notice ends or your fixed-term agreement has expired, your landlord can apply to the court for a possession order.
The court has no choice but to make a possession order if you were given valid notice or your agreement has expired.
The possession order will normally take effect in 14 days. The court can delay the order for a maximum of 6 weeks if there are exceptional circumstances.
You will probably have to pay some of your landlord's court costs if your landlord has to take you to court to force you to leave.
Your landlord can ask bailiffs to evict you if you still haven't left after a court order takes effect.
Find out what happens when bailiffs evict you.
Illegal eviction
It's against the law for your landlord to try to evict you without getting a court order. There might be action you can take to stop your landlord doing this.
Still need help?

Enjoying a prime ocean front site on the renowned West Coast of Barbados, Senderlea is located midway between the Capital city of Bridgetown and the historic town of Holetown with its array of fine dining restaurants, shopping and business amenities.
Its elevated position allows for privacy while benefiting from stunning, unobstructed sea views.There is private access to the white sandy beach below with good swimming directly in front. Standing on just over 19,000 sq. ft. of beachfront land, this delightful, single-storey home has been designed for the traditional Caribbean lifestyle centered around outdoor living.
The gracious, formal reception rooms and the master suite open on to a spacious, full-length, covered verandah where there are informal dining and lounging areas. The guest bedroom and separate bathroom are positioned at the rear of the home. A third bedroom was converted to a study but can easily be reconverted.At the basement level there is a storage room and a small home gym.From the verandah steps lead to the lush, tropical garden where there is a swimming pool and Jacuzzi.

The tech-savvy traveler goes nowhere with no a minimum of a smartphone as well as a laptop. Throw in an mp3 player and an e-reader, and you will be toting quite a little of technologies. No judging; these days it's not effortless to do without having. But taking your gadgets across distances worth eight hours of flying or extra is not like taking the exact same across the states border. You don't need to find yourself with dead batteries once there and no method to recharge, and also you absolutely do not want your smartphone to go dumb if you want Google Maps to discover that restaurant or that hotel. So listed here are some issues to remember.
Very first, a checklist! Bringing your charger and power cables is a offered, but if you are coming to Southeast Asia odds are good the pins won't quite match into energy sockets in Thailand and you ought to invest inside a power adapter or three. Most hotels in Thailand worth their salt will let you borrow 1 totally free, but it really is finest to take your own personal just in case. For fantastic measure, take a couple of added batteries also: once again, there's no telling regardless of whether you will be stranded in an airport due to delayed flights or other mishaps and in spite of your very best efforts, your smartphone, iPad or iPod Touch could nonetheless run out of juice mid-flight (though inside the case of iPod Touches and iPads you will be slightly hard-pressed to swap batteries, so look into power mats as an alternative or begin taking into consideration option devices).
Subsequent: flight precautions. Whilst the stewards will bother you about shutting down your devices, some airlines aren't too strict with this (and give in-flight WiFi to boot). Nevertheless, should you leave your phone's radio on--that is, the bit that checks for cellphone towers-the battery will drain to absolutely nothing within an hour or two of the plane's takeoff; practically nothing sucks down energy like a telephone seeking a cell tower whilst getting absolutely out of array of any. How do you repair this without having turning your telephone off? Very simple: turn on airplane mode. It's going to shut down all telephone signal and Bluetooth radio, but you are going to nonetheless be capable of connect to WiFi (if any is offered) and you can nonetheless use your smartphone for everything else, whether or not to e-read or play games to pass the time. To do this, dig around within your settings. Airplane mode need to fall beneath "Wireless network" or a related heading; this could differ from platform to platform.
Prior to you touch down at Suvarnabhumi or Chiang Mai International Airport, make sure to Google up your phone's specs. Practically nothing complex! Just try a search with "[your phone's model] 900 3g" or "[your phone's model] 850 3g," as these would be the two bands most conveniently offered in Beach Thailand. At the time of writing, 3G in Thailand is is often had via the carriers AIS and TrueMove, which have licenses for the 900MHz and 850 MHz bands respectively. Assuming your phone is unlocked and GSM, meaning it includes a SIM slot, any time you arrive you'll be able to slot in an AIS or TrueMove SIM and you will be on your merry way. Do not overlook to make sure it is a 3G SIM and don't bother with DTac; they may be at present supplying information at speeds no greater than Edge and what they do provide is not cheaper than their counterpart packages from AIS and TrueMove.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is the replication and hosting of physical or virtual servers by a third-party to provide failover in the event of a man-made or natural catastrophe.
Typically, DRaaS requirements and expectations are documented in a service-level agreement (SLA) and the third-party vendor provides failover to a cloud computing environment, either through a contract or pay-per-use basis. In the event of an actual disaster, an offsite vendor will be less likely than the enterprise itself to suffer the direct and immediate effects, allowing the provider to implement the disaster recovery plan even in the event of the worst-case scenario: a total or near-total shutdown of the affected enterprise.
DRaaS can be especially useful for small to mid-size businesses that lack the necessary expertise to provision, configure and test an effective disaster recovery plan (DRP). Using DRaaS also means the organization doesn't have to invest in -- and maintain -- their own off-site DR environment. An additional benefit is that DRaaS contracts can be flexible as the business' needs change. The downside, of course, is that the business must trust that the DRaaS service provider can implement the plan in the event of a disaster and meet the defined recovery time and recovery point objectives.

Victor Manuel Vucetich to lead Mexico
The Mexican national soccer team changed coaches again, turning to Victor Manuel Vucetich two days after its World Cup qualifying loss to the United States.
Vucetich named his coaching staff during a news conference Thursday and said he felt he needed to accept the challenge offered.
"Yes, this is a hot potato but I hope it turns into something gold," Vucetich joked with reporters. "It is time to get down to work."
"The hierarchy of the players doesn't matter to me," Vucetich said. "What matters to me is Mexico, Mexico and Mexico."
The move was the third coaching change for Mexico in the past week. After the team's 2-1 home loss to Honduras in World Cup qualifying last Friday, the team fired manager Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre. Luis Fernando Tena, one of De la Torre's top assistants, took the post on an interim basis, but in his first game at the helm Tuesday night, Mexico suffered a 2-0 loss to the Americans, leaving it on the brink of not qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1990.
Mexico has scored only four goals in the North and Central American and Caribbean finals this year, dropping into fifth place in the group of six countries. The most likely, and even upbeat, scenario is that the team heads to a playoff against New Zealand to qualify for the world tournament.
Mexico does control its own destiny for fourth place thanks to hosting Panama on Oct. 11, followed by a game at Costa Rica to finish qualifying on Oct. 15.
El Tri has qualified for five straight World Cups, last missing out in 1990, when the team was banned from qualifying for using ineligible players in a junior tournament. The last time Mexico participated in qualifying and did not reach the World Cup was 1982.
Mexico's current four-game qualifying winless streak matches its worst ever in World Cup qualifying.
Before Friday's loss to Honduras, Mexico was unbeaten in 27 straight home qualifiers and in 18 straight qualifiers at Estadio Azteca. That was Mexico's 2nd-ever home loss in 78 home qualifiers.
El Tri dropped to 21st place in this week's FIFA rankings, falling even as the United States climbed to the No. 13 spot.

Bakithi Kumalo Hits the Road with Paul Simon with his NS Basses
Even if they don't know him by name, millions of fans were first captivated by Bakithi's amazing playing on Paul's album "Graceland". Growing up in a musical family in apartheid South Africa, Bakithi developed a unique musical style at an early age. But the injustices of South Africa's society made a music career seem nearly impossible—until he was introduced to Paul Simon during a Graceland recording session in 1985. The pop star loved Bakithi's playing and thus began an international collaboration that has lasted to this day. Since then, Bakithi's circle has widened to include Harry Belafonte, Laurie Anderson, Derick Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, and Gloria Estefan, among others. Bakithi has also recorded four solo albums.
Bakithi began playing NS Design's Omni Bass in 2014, and added an NS double bass shortly thereafter. He became an early adopter of the RADIUS bass guitar in 2015. In particular, he has praised the distinctive sound the RADIUS affords him. Paul Simon agrees, so this summer the Radius will be an important part of the tour.
"They have the sound that I've been looking for. Very different and very clear tone and beautiful voice—a distinctive sound that I haven't had from other basses."
Paul Simon's latest album, "Stranger to Stranger", which also features Bakithi's playing, comes out June 3, 2016.

Brian Robert Setzer (born April 10, 1959) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He first found widespread success in the early 1980s with the 1950s-style rockabilly revival group Stray Cats, and revitalized his career in the late 1990s with his Swing revival band, The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

Setzer was born in Massapequa, New York. Beginning in January 1979, he fronted the rockabilly band The Tomcats before transforming them into the later successful Stray Cats.
After performing locally from New York to Philadelphia under various band names with no real success, singer and lead guitarist Setzer, drummer Slim Jim Phantom (born James McDonnell) and bassist Lee Rocker (born Leon Drucker) decided in June 1980 to go to London, England where they believed people would better appreciate their sound and style.[1]
To obtain the money for their plane tickets, Setzer, Rocker and Phantom went to Sam Ash Music on 48th Street to sell their instruments and gear to the store, for enough money for three one-way plane tickets. Upon their arrival, they decided to call themselves "Stray Cats", a name suggested by Rocker because of their status as 'strays'. After performing for only a few months they drew the attention of the British record producer Dave Edmunds, and released a series of successful singles in the UK, which countered the already-entrenched punk scene in London.
After releasing several singles and two albums in England, the Stray Cats finally caught America's attention with the 1982 album Built for Speed, which included the two Top Ten hits, "Rock This Town" (#9) and "Stray Cat Strut" (#3). This album was basically a re-release of many of the songs from the two previous albums, the self-titled Stray Cats and Gonna Ball, which have never been released in America. Their follow-up 1983 album Rant 'N Rave with the Stray Cats included the two successful singles: "(She's) Sexy + 17" (#5), and "I Won't Stand In Your Way" (#35).
After only four years, the Stray Cats separated in 1984, but reunited briefly to record albums and mount tours several times all the way through the early 1990s. From 1985 to early 1986, Setzer was the lead guitarist for the touring version of Robert Plant's ensemble band, The Honeydrippers.
In the summer of 1986, Setzer released his first solo album, The Knife Feels Like Justice, which marked a huge move away from his trademark sound and towards a more mainstream 'rock-roots' sound, which was popularized at the time by such other artists such as John Cougar Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen. The album was given little promotion by his label and as a result it only found minor success, peaking at only number 45 on the Billboard US album charts. The album has become a cult favorite among those who understood the message Setzer was trying to attempt, such as the world's nuclear proliferation, the immigration issue, the understanding of religion and the 'working man's blues', such as unemployment, loneliness, etc.[citation needed] In 1988 His second solo album "Live Nude Guitars" was a cross between his first solo venture and Stray Cats Recordings and once again became a cult favourite included on many critics top ten lists for the year.
In 1987, Setzer played the part of Eddie Cochran in the biographical film on the life of Ritchie Valens, La Bamba.
In the mid-1990s Setzer once again resurrected an older form of youth-oriented music, swing and jump blues music, when he formed The Brian Setzer Orchestra, an ambitious 17-piece ensemble project, which released four studio albums, a Christmas disc and several live releases between 1994 and 2002. His group's biggest success (and Setzer's outside the Stray Cats) came in 1998 with the release of the album The Dirty Boogie which cracked the top ten on the US album charts and featured a hit single, a cover of Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive an' Wail".
Setzer continued to release solo-billed albums sporadically, including a solo live disc Rockin' By Myself in 1998. In 2001 he released an album titled Ignition with his new trio billed as the '68 Comeback Special. In 2003 he released Nitro Burnin' Funny Daddy. A tribute album titled Rockabilly Riot Vol. 1: A Tribute To Sun Records was released on July 26, 2005, in the United States. An album simply titled 13 was released in October 2006.
On September 25, 2007, the Brian Setzer Orchestra released Wolfgang's Big Night Out which features Setzer's take on classical pieces, such as Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5" and "Für Elise". Wolfgang earned Setzer his eighth Grammy nomination, this time for Best Classical Crossover album of the year.
On October 13, 2009, the Brian Setzer Orchestra released a new album titled Songs From Lonely Avenue. For the first time in Setzer's career, he was the sole writer on every song. Frank Comstock, the 87-year-old big band arranger whom Setzer collaborated with on Wolfgang's Big Night Out, orchestrated most of the horn parts for the album.
On December 14, 2009, Setzer was unable to complete a performance in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and was briefly hospitalized because of "dehydration, high altitude sickness and vertigo,"[2] After Colorado Springs, Albuquerque has the second highest elevation of any American city of more than 100,000 people and many visitors experience oxygen debt and require ER treatment.
Recent activity
In 2011, Setzer toured extensively throughout Europe. The premiere night of The Brian Setzer Rockabilly Riot! Europe Tour 2011 was at the 10 year celebration of the Azkena Rock Festival[3] on the June 25, Vitoria Gasteiz, Spain to crowds of over 50,000 people.
The tour then went onto dates in Zurich, Switzerland; Luxembourg City, Luxembourg; Weert and Amsterdam in the Netherlands; Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne in Germany; and Peer in Belgium. The Scandinavia leg of the tour was in Copenhagen, Denmark, Stockholm, Sweden and Helsinki, Finland ending at the Helsinki Ice Hall.Further gigs were held at the Brixton Academy, London and in Dublin, Ireland. The tour is planned to continue into Japan in September 2011.

Setzer also produced Drake Bell's 2014 album, the rockabilly-inspired Ready Steady Go! under Surfdog Records, which was released on April 22. He also played Electric guitar on two of the songs, "I Won't Stand In Your Way" and "Bitchcraft".
Setzer was awarded the Orville H. Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1999 Gibson Awards. As of 1999, the previous recipients of this award were B. B. King, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill and John Fogerty.
Since 2000, Setzer has earned three Grammy Awards: Best Pop Performance Duo/Group for "Jump Jive An' Wail", and two Best Pop Instrumental Performance awards for "Sleep Walk"[4] and "Caravan".[5] In December 2006 he received his seventh Grammy nomination for his version of "My Favorite Things", again in the Best Pop Instrumental Performance category.
Personal life
Setzer has been married three times, most recently in 2005 to Julie Reiten, a former singer with the Dustbunnies. Setzer and Reiten reside in Minneapolis.[6]

Enter to win a Sunshine Kids Radian XTSL car seat just like the ones we fit into the Nissan LEAF!
When I pulled into the carwash to clean up our test 2011 Nissan LEAF, I thought it might be useful to explain to the attendant that this car was 100% electric and thus a little different than the cars she was typically used to seeing. She immediately informed me, "Make sure you leave the keys in the vehicle and I push the button on the dash. They are all the same."
That got me thinking, will most people view this vehicle as more of a logical evolution of the automobile rather than something that would only appeal to a select niche audience?
This vehicle is certainly unique in that it never uses any gasoline, unlike the Chevy Volt, but how does it perform as a normal car? Given that the "F" in LEAF stands for "Family Car", we thought we would not only explore how it drives but explore how it performs carrying things like car seats and strollers.
We have already given some initial details about the car in an earlier review but Nissan was kind enough to allow us a few days with the vehicle to explore how it would function within the day-to-day demands of family life.
Does the Nissan Leaf really work as a family vehicle?
Interior Space in the Nissan LEAF
First, I should state that we are a family of 5. Given that I am 6'3" and we have 3 boys, ages 7, 5 and 3, I will openly state that there are few vehicles that fit our entire family comfortably.
I anticipated right from the beginning that fitting all of us in a 5 door hatchback was going to be a lot like fitting 20 clowns in a circus car. As it turns out, the Nissan LEAF surprised me.
I had absolutely no trouble getting comfortable. I immediately put the driver seat all the way back and was shocked that an average size person could still sit behind me. The seats, made out of recycled water bottles, were comfortable and supportive.
…But Would Car Seats Fit?
I believe that there is no excuse for not keeping your kids as safe as possible. In my book, including having all my kids in car seats or boosters (yes, even the 7-year-old).
That meant that in order for the LEAF to work as an effective family car for us, we would need to be able to fit 3 car seats in the back seat.
This is a tight fit in any 5 passenger car and in the back seat of the Nissan LEAF is only 47-48 inches across, which makes it especially challenging. Any two car seats would be fine with that width but don't expect to fit anyone in between them. Our task of fitting 3 across was going to require narrower car seats.
After a phone call to Russ Berger at Sunshine Kids, we had 3 Radian XTSL seats on their way. The Radians are some of the narrowest seats on the market at only 17 inches wide and still meet or exceed all the federal crash test standards.
The Radian XTSL car seats also offer the first NCAP tested, high capacity LATCH system for use up to 80 pounds without the use of a seat belt and you can use the 5-point harness system up to that 80 lb limit.
This means that my 7-year-old who weighs 57 lbs is still within limits of the LATCH system and the 5-point harness. Even though he does not legally need to use the 5-point harness, you can see from the pictures that the seats are placed so close together in this configuration that trying to reach in between the seats to buckle a seat belt each time would be very challenging. Using the 5-point harness is simply easier it seems ideal for our application.
As long as they were not picking on each other, we found the back seat to be a very comfortable place for 3 kids in the Radians. The LEAF utilizes stadium seating, meaning that the back seat sits higher than the front seat, similar to most movie theaters.
The reason for this is the battery packs sit under the floor and the rear seat. This gave all of our kids a great view out of the windows along with easy access to the window controls (luckily Nissan thought to include child locks for both the windows and the rear doors).
Objective number one accomplished…3 car seats will work!
…What About The Trunk?
As all parents know, kids come with a lot of stuff. This includes everything from diapers to strollers and tons of items in between. The family vehicle needs to be able to carry it all. The LEAF is a hatchback, which usually helps cargo capacity but we figured the best way to gauge what it could hold would be to show you.
We fit an Aprica Presto umbrella stroller, a Britax B-ready with the second seat and a Joovy Cocoon double jogging stroller. All with room for groceries left over. The deep trunk of the LEAF makes fitting just about anything the kids might need easy. Objective number two accomplished…it will carry your gear!
…But What About the Range?
Chevy has trademarked the term "Range Anxiety" as a means of referring to being restricted to the 100-mile range that electric vehicles such as the Nissan LEAF possess. Nissan estimates that over 90% of people do not drive more than 100 miles a day. I would agree with that statistic but it is still a concern of many people and without an established charging infrastructure, the LEAF can't be used for that long road trip.
When I picked up the LEAF, Nissan had it fully charged for me. I found that when I first started driving it I was very cautious to watch the range gauge, monitor my speed and minimize the use of the climate control system. That fear quickly disappeared as I realized that I had plenty of battery life to get to everywhere I was going regardless of how I drove it (I guess I fit in that 90% stat).
Nissan has created 3 ways to charge the vehicle. They expect that most people will install a 220/240 volt charger in their garage (at an additional cost of approx. $1,000-2000) to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates and having the vehicle charged each morning (approx. 8 hours). They are also including what I heard called a "flat tire" charger, meaning that it is a 110/120 volt charger that plugs into any wall plug. This method is more of an emergency use as it will take almost twice as long as the 220/240 volt method but it provides reassurance as you can charge it almost anywhere.
The final option involves opting for an optional $700 rapid charging port on the vehicle and enables the vehicle the capability of using commercial rapid charging stations. These chargers will likely be deployed along major interstates and will allow the LEAF the capability to get an 80% charge in around 30 minutes making those road trips much more possible.
In my area of San Diego, I hear that there will be over 1000 220/240 volt charging stations and 60 rapid charging stations deployed by June 11, 2011. If these are placed in locations that people regularly frequent such as Costco, Best Buy or public parking garages that quickly makes it easy to increase your range beyond that 100-mile cap.
My response to "range anxiety" after living with the car for a few days is looking at how many miles you drive on a daily basis. You will likely be just fine. I would recommend seriously consider installing the 220/240 volt home charger. If you are looking for a road trip car, you'll have to wait for a later generation but you might at some point be able to make it work with rapid chargers.
…How Does It Drive?
The LEAF is silent. You only hear the wind and the tires on the pavement. It is so silent that Nissan manufactured a sound to let people know it is coming at low speeds. They coupled a back-up beep with a rear camera to make it safer in reverse as well.
Most people hear the electric car and they think of a golf cart. They don't think of speed. The truth is that an electric motor has 100% torque from right off the line. It has no need to rev to a certain RPM's like a gasoline engine in order to find its power.
Up to about 40 mph, I feel it feels about the same as many 6-cylinder cars. Past 40 mph, it may be more like a 4-cylinder car but it still has enough power to easily exceed any posted speed limit in the country.
How Much Does It Cost?
The Nissan LEAF starts at an M.S.R.P. of $32,780, however, The Federal government is offering a $7500 tax credit making it as low as $25,280 net after-tax savings or qualifying for $349 a month lease with $1999 initial payment (Nissan keeps the $7500 on the lease). Various states are also offering additional incentives. The state of California, for one, offers a $5000 rebate check for buying the vehicle.
Nissan states that the average cost for a full charge is $2.75. I have heard reports of vehicles being charged during off-peak hours for as low as $1.00. How much does it cost you to drive 100 miles in your gas vehicle?
In addition to that, think about how much maintenance costs on a gasoline vehicle. The LEAF requires no oil changes, spark plugs, transmission fluid, or much else. The recommended service to 82k miles includes basically rotating the tires and changing the wipers. Nissan even expects the brakes to last long given that the vehicle uses regenerative braking to charge the batteries instead of creating a lot of wear on the brakes.
Once you calculate all these costs and incentives, the LEAF's pricing starts to look pretty appealing to me.
I feel that the LEAF is a great car! It is a real car and even if it does not make the sound the Jetson's car made (which I've heard rumors future owners have plans to try and create a hack that would do that), it is a great family car. It will hold 3 car seats, a double stroller, and all a family's gear. I've placed my order and my kids are ecstatic about saving the environment!

Harrison Wright Quotes
Harrison: Papa Pope. That's okay, right? I can call you Papa...
Rowan: No.
Harrison: Jake Ballard. Dude could probably kill you with a bendy straw but at the end of the day he's just a normal guy. Put a fork in him.
Huck: Or a needle.
Abby: Are you serious? You're stealing my gun.
Harrison: Borrowing it.
Abby: Harrison, you do not need to act all crazy just because everyone else here is. We are the normal ones. You and me. If we need to borrow a gun, we ask. Also, why do you need it?
Candace: So you're here to babysit me now?
Harrison: If you're good I'll let you stay up past your bedtime.
Who we work for is Liv's business. I can't get her to do something she doesn't want to do. No one can.
Stupid, super spies.
Quinn: Hey, I found her.
Harrison: Grounded!
Quinn: What about me?
Harrison: Baby Huck it.
[to Olivia] Billy Chambers. Billy Chambers is the mole.
You're not the fixer here, Liv. You're the problem. You're the client. You're my client. Like it or not. So I'm not asking for the truth. I know the truth. I know enough. At any minute, any second now, so will the rest of planet Earth. So what I'm asking you is, what is your end game? Because the eye will pass, the winds will kick up, and you are not tethered to anything.
Harrison: Charlie the killer likes breakfast pastries...
Olivia: Okay, we can work with that.
Harrison: [to Huck] We didn't want to bother you while you were...
Abby: Shaking off the crazy.

Busy holidays plus head cold equals zero energy for sewing.
I spent all my energy on visiting with family and babysitting the adorable rambunctious Rambo.
This is clue 5 for the Allietare Mystery Quilt by Bonnie Hunter.
After making a few blocks this could be the "alternate block" which there will be 20 of.
I still like this for the "primary block" which there will be 30 of.
They look nice together.
This is Rambo holding a bone as big as he is.
This is Rambo taunting Sasha with a tennis ball.
Finally some down time as they sleep on the couch together.
Oops! This block has a mouth!
Sasha is 50 pounds. Rambo is 7 pounds.
This makes for an uneven walk although they both try to pull me along.
This is my guess for the layout. This is 9 main blocks and 4 alternate blocks.
I think the final quilt will be set 5 x 6 main and 4 x 5 alternate in between.
I like how the yellow forms a chain.
I can't wait to see what Bonnie Hunter does with the centers of these blocks!
Back to Monday Link-Up for Clue 5.

Take the leap to live chat
Live chat software for the public sector can no longer be overlooked. With the rest of the world racing to digitally transform, the public sector is at risk of being left behind.
Members of the public see themselves as customers of public services. They demand a similar level of service that they'd receive anywhere else – prompt, personalised and digital-first. Enter live chat.
Meet digital expectations
The needs of the general public have evolved. In a digitally connected world, there has been a paradigm shift in the way communication takes place, with calls and emails being replaced by instant messaging apps.
For the public sector, that means offering digital-centric support. Customers are accustomed to communicating immediately and easily, on their channel of choice. Adding a live chat option modernises your services, and meets current consumer demands.
Improve service and satisfaction
The primary purpose of the public sector is to serve people. With live chat, you can serve them quickly and efficiently. Rather than sitting stuck on hold or waiting days for an email response, consumers get immediate assistance.
This speedy support has a huge impact on satisfaction. People looking to get in touch can do so directly from your website, without having to switch device or search for contact details. In a complex sector, the value of this accessibility can't be underestimated.
Increased contact
Traditionally, contacting the public sector is laborious. As well as the number of departments to differentiate between, there's the problem of navigating a huge website to find the right number to call or the right person to email. That's not to mention the time involved in waiting for a response.
The high level of effort involved puts off contact. Live chat, however, removes inconvenience. When direct contact with you takes a single click, reaching out becomes less daunting. And that means more contact with the public, more relationship building, and more opportunities to connect.
Save time and cost
Increased contact doesn't mean increased effort with live chat. Over a telephone call, your employees can only deal with one person at a time. A chat channel allows them to handle multiple queries at once, switching from session to session in one quick click.
Resource that was previously spent on the telephone can be reallocated, freeing up availability and driving productivity. And because live chat is some 30% cheaper than the telephone, you'll be saving money as well as time.
Give relevant advice
In a sector with a sprawling range of services, departments and teams, instantly connecting the consumer to the right employee presents a challenge. With live chat's automatic routing, however, this problem disappears.
Using a pre-chat survey, the user can quickly select which department they'd like to speak to. There are no complex contact forms, no multi-step IVR queues, and no lengthy hold times whilst being transferred. With a simple, single step, users are directly connected to relevant advice.
Reduce paperwork
Consumers don't want a messy paper trail when seeking support or information. Nor do employees relish the concept of messy paper trails when managing their admin. Fortunately, live chat software allows instant inline file sharing, as well as live document verification.
By allowing users to exchange documentation within the chat session, all interactions take place in a single touchpoint. Without the delay and disruption of sending separate emails or letters, live chat creates a simple, cohesive sharing channel that reduces public sector paperwork.
Intelligent automated answers
Providing a multitude of services means receiving a multitude of frequently asked questions. Answers to these FAQ must often be detailed and resource-rich, which can make responding to queries a labour-intensive, repetitive task.
The canned responses that come with live chat software are a huge help in this area. By detecting keywords typed by the user and auto-responding with the relevant pre-set answer, live chat makes answering questions accurate, instant and effortless.
Security and compliance
The public sector is strictly regulated. For any new software or service, meticulous security and compliance guidelines must be met. To help you adhere to protocols, WhosOn offers an installable live chat deployment option.
With WhosOn, you can self-host the software on your own servers, behind your own firewalls, retaining full control of your own data and security. Plus, the software itself is water-tight, with every connection encrypted and every session secure.

I just found your blog and am interested in becoming a member. In October I purchased my first flock of 12 sheep. 11 of them are Corriedale and Corriedale/Dorset crosses and one is a Cotswold. They were just sheared a few weeks ago. I would like to learn about spinning and knitting. I can do basic crochet, but that is it.

Greetings. I have returned home from Lousianna after assisting my daughter and her military family after their deployments. While there, I learned much about spinning and now have a Majacraft Rose spinning wheel.
I'd like to attend the guild meeting and begin to learn more about all aspects of fiber art. I do basic knitting, crocheting and now spinning on a spindolyn. My ultimate goal is to be a proficient knitter, spinner and weaver and to spin flax.
Please keep in touch.

A friend and I just finished the silk scarf workshop at Steele Memorial Library. Not only did we go home with really cool scarves; we learned a lot and had a blast! I will definitely use what I learned to creat unique gifts for family and friends.

Those people who are undocumented immigrants, or find themselves in court for having broken the law, will definitely need an
immigration lawyer to plead their case in front of the judge.
Such acts can land you behind bars or even deported back to your home
country immediately, after being fined heavily.
Besides that, there are some situations where people might have some details on their visa application which
might not work in their favor when applying for a visa.
An immigration lawyer can help you mitigate those items from
your application, in an entirely legal way, and have the

Dallas Rollover Accident Attorneys
Rollover accidents are among the most dangerous forms of car accidents. They often involve multiple people, and they can result in severe physical injury for those involved. Sadly, many rollover accidents are caused through other parties' negligence, rather than through one's own fault. As a result, many people find themselves burdened by painful physical injuries, expensive financial losses, and troublesome emotional trauma that could have been avoided.
However, if another party directly or indirectly causes you to be involved in a rollover accident, you might be able to file a legal claim for compensation. This compensation can help you and your family cope with the costs that tend to result from rollover accidents, such as those associated with medical treatment and vehicle repair or replacement. If you have been involved in a rollover accident because of someone else's actions, learn more about how our Dallas rollover accident attorneys from the Law Offices of Mark T. Lassiter can help you fight for the justice you want today by calling (214) 457-1668.
Common Causes of Rollovers
Many different situations can lead to rollover accidents, but a number are caused through reckless driving of others on the road. For instance, some common causes of rollover accidents involve:
- Running red lights
- Failing to merge properly
- Aggressive speeding / tailgating
- Cutting off another driver
All of these reckless driving behaviors can easily result in a rollover accident, potentially involving innocent drivers and their passengers, like you and your family.

Lassiter, our Dallas rollover accident attorneys dedicate ourselves to helping clients who are wrongly injured in rollover accidents because of the negligent or careless actions of others.
