I came on here fully prepared to whine about something. Or to apologise about whining so much. I'm fickle like that.
Instead, I find myself unable to resist the urge to wax lyrical about the film I have just seen, The Adjustment Bureau.
Firstly, a caveat. I am a huge Matt Damon fan. From the moment I saw the utterly disturbing cinematic event that is The Talented Mr Ripley, I have been a huge advocate of his. I see in him a spark of true brilliance, and acting genius. Despite the tendency of the media to go on about Jude Laws' performance in that film (but why?!), I think there are few performances that could beat that icy cool insanity of a man tumbling into the void. Since then, I have yet to be disappointed by anything the man turns his hand to, and it is a delight to see him avoid the trappings of becoming an (awesome) action hero.
So, clearly, I went into this film in a state of mind to enjoy. To sit back and take it in and accept the likelihood of Damon's presence making it brilliant. I wasn't disappointed.
The Adjustment Bureau isn't a unique film. The concept is fascinating, but so many elements can be likened to other films. The intricacy and questions of the Matrix. The visual celebration of Inception – although I hold that this film is actually infinitely better. And that is said as someone with a crush on both Leo and Ellen Page! So many different parts of this movie reference so many others, but rather than being a limitation, I found it actually pushed this film forward.
The Adjustment Bureau is, as discussed, many things. In addition, it is funny. Laugh out loud kind of funny. It is touching, and throughout kept me choked up, tensed in response to such suspense. It questions many concepts humanity takes for granted – love, passion, free will, faith. It answers few of these queries, instead letting the story speak for itself, and leaving us with a sense of how things may turn out, but absolutely no certainty. It is also silly, banal, absurd, all of which serve to further highlight the big issues being raised, as well as poking fun at the self-involvement of humanity. The ridiculousness of our need to have so many questions answered.
It is less mindless action than the trailers, and the posters, try to persuade us it is.
I came out of the cinema, once the film had ended, and all I could think was – "that was brilliant".
And it was.

Woe betide anyone who doesn't own up to their inner geek. Or their outer geek, as it happens. What was once seen as a silly way to life your life, full of stupid facts and a certain lack of that indefinable "cool", has suddenly become trendy. The geeks have, in a expertly calculated and complicated rebellion, taken over the earth. Probably whilst wearing capes. Where would we be without them? Without people continually demanding more from life, from the world? Without people appreciating everything from the tiny microbes under our skin right through to the things that are bigger than most human brains can even begin to contemplate?
I wholeheartedly and happily put my hands up to being a geek. I know a strange amount about birds, and meteorology. I am geeky about the idea of space, and hoping for the existence of aliens, and about watching episodes of Star Trek or The X Files back to back. I can have long conversations about the use of grammar and words, about how nice it feels to form the syllables of "Hyundai" with your tongue. I debate about human rights, and nuclear weapons, and about the validity of various scientific experiments. I dream of zombies, and I know which animals of the air, land and sea are the fastest (Swift, Cheetah and Swordfish, for those wondering – although the Peregrine Falcon is the fastest creature on earth in a downwards dive). Geekery makes up a massive portion of my life, and I love it. It makes me feel I am a tiny part of the brilliance of the world.
And so, for the geeks amongst us, a celebration. A celebration in fashion form, as it happens, although this really isn't about my fashion geekery. A ring, featuring Gotham City in all its Gothic, dramatic and dangerous glory. Perfect. Now, if only I had $225…
Film Review | Resident Evil: Aftermath (3D)! September 24, 2010Posted by Lauren Cooke in Media, TV & Film.

You know I love zombie films. I just do. I couldn't tell you why, but I m a massive Romero fan, and can list of a myriad of facts about zombies, zombie hunting, and different zombies theories. Not a typical obsession for a girl, especially one who doesn't particularly like the dark. Still I can't deny that there is something about the zombie genre that pulls me in!
Resident Evil is one of the zombie series' that has never let me down. They are always sleek, sophisticated, and really quite scary. The games are bloody terrifying (I have sat through many hours, let me tell you!), and the films are loyally based on them. For this reason I was really excited about seeing Resident Evil: Aftermath, and even more so once I realised it would be shown in 3D. Horror, it seems to me, is the ideal medium for jumpy 3D images, and I wasn't disappointed.
You see, I loved this film. Everything felt much more real thanks to the 3D imaging, and I hold my hands up to jumping a few times. They were even more loyal to the game than normal too, down to the creepy axe/mallet wielding boss and the creepy-ass dogs. Even Wesker was as wildly annoying and hard to kill as he should be.
Despite a slightly silly start (the scene setting was done too fast in my mind – I would have liked a little more time to be spent in the Umbrella facility in Tokyo, for technological marvels if nothing else!), this was awesome. Just the right mix of action, survival, challenges and, of course, zombies. It was brilliant, and I came out exhilarated and wanting to watch all the Resident Evil films again.
A big thumbs up from me!
Film Review | The Expendables (stuff blows up!) August 31, 2010Posted by Lauren Cooke in Media, TV & Film.

First, a disclaimer. I have a bit of a penchant for things blowing up. Until I finished uni, I had only ever really had an interest in intelligent films. Films that make you question life, or which raise huge life issues. You know, poncy films. I do, of course, still have a strong affection for these films. However, recent years have seen me develop a new list of favourite films alongside my intelligent list – a list of films that I wildly enjoyed in spite of the fact that technically they are… awful.
The Expendables is one of those films. I went to see it in a state of hyped up excitement, aware that what I was about to witness was, without a doubt, going to be one of the only films like it ever made. When again would such legends come together on one screen, with throw backs to their past performances and teasing comments to boot. Thanks to Stalone, Willis, Schwarzenegger, Rourke, Statham, Jet Li, Lundgren, and probably more that I have forgotten, I was bound to witness a historical moment.
The film didn't disappoint. It was historical. It was also, predictably, utterly terrible. The plot, what little there was of it, started off optimistically enough, but then was ignited and forgotten in a blaze of petrol bombs and bullets. The dialogue was awful, with just enough witty one-liners to pull it up into the "bearable" category. Some of the acting, of course, was like watching a wooden puppet attempt to prove that it is a real boy. It was awful.
Perhaps because of this shameless crapness, I adored this film. I laughed out loud, I jumped. I watched as pretty much every cast member and every prop got exploded, shot, or otherwise destroyed. Massive mansions were raised to the ground, trucks engaged in car chases through tiny winding streets, and at one point Stallone is hanging from a plane. Oh, and there is a gun that effectively tears a torso in half.
Don't go into this expecting brilliance. Expect explosions, however, and you will be very pleased indeed. And maybe, like other action junkies, you will reluctantly admit that you loved it!
The curling smoke May 19, 2010Posted by Lauren Cooke in Fashion, Media, TV & Film.

Well, well, well. I have just started watching MadMen. After a night tucked in front of the TV avoiding the work I was meant to be doing, I have managed to work myself a good few episodes into this incredibly successful programme, and am starting to see what makes everyone wax lyrical about it so much. Despite the fact that really very little has happened I have been sucked in without a backwards glance, and all the tiniest subtleties have started meaning a whole lot more. It is a sumptuous feats for the eyes and the ears, and I proudly announce myself a convert.
Whilst watching the DVDs there were a few thoughts I couldn't get out of my head. firstly, how much does everyone smoke?! I knew that smoking used to be popular, but I had never accepted the extent to which everyone did it – it seems as natural as breathing or talking to all of the characters on the show. There is scarcely a scene that goes past without a couple of cigarettes being lit, sensually drawn on, and then expelled in curves of wafting, strangely attractive smoke.It really brings home the difference between "then" and "now", especially when they talk about doctors advocating cigarettes as safe. It is incredible really.
The next thought was, predictably, about the clothes. Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway is hypnotic, with her curving hips and gleaming smile. She is utterly sexy, and has become a full blown girl crush of mine. All the dresses are beautiful on all the characters, and it turns out a man in a fedora can make me swoon! When I saw this amazing Joan Holloway inspired dress on Pin Up Girl I nearly bought it, before remembering how dire my finances will be this month!
My particular favourites from the first few shows were the 50s style swing dresses, if only because I don't really have the hips to carry a wiggle dress off. I am so jealous of them!
Getting a little Political – But it is worth watching! May 4, 2010Posted by Lauren Cooke in Inspiration, Life, Chatter & Politics, Media, TV & Film.

I am never normally all that political on my blog. I don't like the confrontation it brings, and I know that my views are often much stronger and quite different to may of the people whom I otherwise love or respect. And so, with that in mind, I sit quietly, and only talk about politics if someone asks me explicitly, or if David Cameron is on the TV and I simply can't avoid ranting.
I am, you see, very left-wing. I was brought up by satisfyingly hippy parents, and that left me with a legacy of believing that money doesn't make any more of a person. It doesn't make you any less of a person, either, although I will always have more respect for people who clawed themselves up from the bottom than I will for those who never wanted for anything. I watched my family recover from the damage the Conservatives did to the country, and I have a deep ingrained fear of people who deep down discriminate and judge ruling my country.
At the same time, however, I understand people who have problems with Labour. I understand people who can't see past the mistakes, who can't see the successes that were never over-discussed. Many times I have had no idea who I would vote for were there an election, people seemed to have lost their way and I struggled to see a way out of all the negativity.
Then this speech happened, and all the news stations seemed to report was the protester who interrupted it. There I was, watching this great speech with this impassioned Gordon Brown – the old one, the passionate angry one, whose beliefs I respected and trusted. A Gordon Brown we haven't seen in a while. Whilst I was watching that, everyone else was being told about the interruption. I got angry that people weren't being shown both sides of that speech.
And so, and so, I thought I would share it with you guys. So that you can watch the speech, and see what it was really like. And make up your own minds, rather than having your minds made up for you.
Its worth watching!

I had a wonderful weekend!
Friday night was spent getting gently tipsy for Nics birthday (Roisin's lovely man). I dressed up in my pretty Emilio Pucci heels despite the fact we were going to what is essentially an old man pub – I never feel the need to wear what is expected of me! We actually ended up staying out till about half 1 and being locked into the pub – which was a new life experience that I can happily tick off my list.
Saturday we went to a sewing session at Alysa's house. I spent my time rather uselessly pinning up the lining of my coat, unpicking and pinning it again, and eventually just giving up! The coat is a stunning floor length red wool number that I snagged on eBay for a fabulous £1.99, and now that I hae sewn up the moth holes I can't wait to put a zip in and get to wearing it. At the moment, however, it has approximately 30 buttons to do up, meaning that I won't be wearing it just yet!
My afternoon was spent strolling around town , wandering into all the charity shops (I got a George number that is really cute!), and stocking up on insoles for all my shoes that don't fit! Hopefully now I will be able to get some wear out of them. I also wanted to mention that now I have a lovely camera I will finally be following up my promise to document all my pretty shoes, and I may even take part in Amber's shoe challenge!
The rest of the evening was spent watching Stardust (just as unimpressive as I remember from last time, and as a huge Neil Gaimen an it surprises me to say I didn't love the book either), followed by In Her Shoes, which surprised me enough to make me intend to write a review! Then I retreated to bed, where although I only planned to read a few pages of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I actually ended up reading the entire thing – it was awesome! I don't usually like crime fiction, but I quite simply couldn't put this book down – a full review will follow for this one too!

I have been sleeping a little strangely recently, having odd dreams about things that happen during the day or that get mentioned, which probably explains why I dreamt I was on Take Me Out, that terrible yet strangely enjoyable Saturday night dating show. This in itself would be fine were it not for a whole series of odd happenings… rushing across stage when we were live because I needed the toilet, and having a very inappropriate moment with a man from work who was the one being found a date.
Regardless of the fact that in real life I don't fancy this man at all, I haven't been able to look directly at him all day. I probably look like I have something in my eyes, or that my brain isn't particularly in gear – I am constantly staring off into the distance and blushing. Most embarrassing and awkward, yet without any cause in real life (thank god!).
These dreams are the very worse of the worst, yet I know I am not alone – I have heard of plenty of people having to deal with the same? Has it ever happened to you?

I did something bad today. Nope, I did not, as the blog title perhaps suggest, spawn an army of zombies. Of evil ninja zombies with a penchant for human flesh. Nope. But I did, however, write about them.
My mother will no doubt be embarrassed when she reads this. But perhaps that is because my mother has been doing a course of natural disasters, and has developed a strange fear that the world is going to bring her to an untimely end. After all, she keeps repeating, it is just so dangerous out there! That said, she may well be embarrassed that I have told the world about her illogical fear that she tries so hard to hide. But never mind!
Anyway, my love of all things zombie, vampire, disaster and apocalypse on the cinema screen has left me with a little bit of a survivalist bent, one which I try to hide for fear of being mocked. Or for fear of ending up in a cave. Living off beans. But then I went and let it all out in one ill-advised article, and I can't decide if this has alleviated some survivalist pressure, or made me even madder than before.
If you want to, you can read all about it here!

Thoroughly Scared: Paranormal Activity December 17, 2009Posted by Lauren Cooke in Media, TV & Film.

Long overdue, I thought the time had come for an update on the terrifying horror that is… Paranormal Activity.
I went to see this last week with a group of girlfriends from where I used to work. Following a discussion about how many of us enjoy horror movies, we decided on a whim to go and see the film that all the critics have been talking about, Paranormal Activity. Given our apparent greed for all things horror and even gore, we were sure that we would love a film that was being touted as "The scariest film of the decade". Despite winding outselves up and up about it, discussing the titbits of storyline we had picked up on, even telling our own ghost stories, I don't think any of us had quite realised just how scary this film was likely to be.
We met on the night, all wound up and excited about getting scared. I must admit that we went into that film wanting to be scared, giggly and borderline hysterical. That said, as soon as we sat down in the crowded auditorium it became clear that we weren't the only ones who were a little bit het up about what was to come. Dare I say it, there was a fission in the air!
Well. What can I say. The film was not only cleverly made, realistic and totally believable (kudos to the couple by the way, who were endearing, grumpy, makeup free and just like most couples out there!), but bloody terrifying. I don't mean just a little bit scary jump-once-or-twice kind of scary – I mean properly bloodcurdling, frightening enough to have most of the audience screaming, jumping and gasping, and me and my girls freaking out! It was made worse by the fact that the fear factor built up so quickly, in the dark, just waiting for the next event, and that the nasty stuff happened in the day by the end as well. I have never ever been in a film like it – and I have seen some horrors in my time! Men and women were falling of their seat, and you could feel the reverberations of shock every time something creepy happened.
My adrenaline was well and truly pumping when I left – yet I have to say that I LOVED it, completely and utterly! Terrifying and oh-so-simply wonderful.

Speaking on The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday, 33-year-old Nick said Mariah "doesn't even know who Kim Kardashian is" because "she doesn't pay attention to that."
Nick's comments about Mariah come a week after he claimed to have been involved with Kim in an interview published by New York radio show, Power 106.
Nick, who has since said that Mariah was annoyed Nick talked about his personal life, also said that his marriage is better than any other relationship he's had.
Nick also said that he and Mariah, who married in 2008, don't let the fact they share their bed with their three-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan interfere with their relationship.
"We have a big house, Howard!" He told the presenter. "We've got special rooms."
Nick and Mariah have been married since 2008
TV personality Nick reportedly landed in hot water with Mariah after naming a list of stars he had been intimate with.
Mariah Carey and her 'loverboy' Nick Cannon – a whirlwind romance
While being quizzed about how many celebrities he had been with, Nick said "That's a lot! This is LA!" Before naming Mariah, his ex Christina Milian, his former fiancée Selita Banks, singer Nicole Scherzinger and Kim Kardashian.
Nick dated Kim in 2006
"The world knew these [names]," Nick said afterwards. "These weren't like names that, you know, I pulled out of a hat – these are people you've seen me on red carpets with, engaged, in love and all of that stuff, so wasn't like it was new information."

Criminal barristers across the country have protesed today in response to the government's plans to cut legal aid fees by 30%. Barristers did not attend court until 2pm in opposition to the Ministry of Justice's proposals. However, vulnerable cases such as those involving rape victims were not disrupted.
According to the Criminal Bar Association, today's protest was the first in the history of the criminal bar. However, the barristers and solicitors involved have been careful not to describe the action as a 'strike' because that would raise questions about contractual obligations to the Legal Aid Agency. Nearly 300 London lawyers attended a training event today at Islington Assembly Hall, many after a demonstration against legal aid cuts outside Westminster Magistrates Court this morning.
Nigel Lithman, Chairman of the CBA, said: 'The protest on Monday is the first in the history of the criminal bar. That it is necessary in order to try and prevent the slide of the Criminal Justice system into chaos and the criminal bar into oblivion make it a sad day. Those taking the action wish to send a message to the Lord Chancellor that this, along with cuts to their pay, is unacceptable.'
Many publicly funded family lawyers are also struggling due to legal aid cuts. Since April 2013, nearly all family law advice has been removed from the legal aid scheme. Tooks Chambers stopped accepting new instructions in October as cuts to the legal aid budget meant that it was impossible for the set's work, 90% of which was publicly funded, to continue. The highly respected set, which was established in 1984, formally dissolved on Friday 27 December 2013.

Two North East sport stars have swapped the pitch for pants by launching a venture with the help of a leading businessman.
Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Steve Harper and one-time Newcastle Falcons rugby player Richard Metcalfe have teamed up with Paul Varley, former chief executive officer of Newcastle Falcons Rugby Club, to launch Oddballs, a range of colourful boxer shorts.
The three sporting friends launched the underwear brand after discussing ways to raise money for men's cancer charities – and the resulting business will donate 10% from the sale of every pair of pants to testicular cancer charities.
The Oddballs boxers are currently only available online, but the trio is in talks with leading high street stores with a view to opening concessions around the UK.
"The three of us got talking over a few beers about initiatives to drive charitable donations for men's cancer," said Mr Varley, non-executive director of the North East Local Enterprise Partnership.
"We chatted about what all guys wear, what all men do and came up with a whole host of ideas, but boxer shorts were far and away the best."
The shorts are available in a range of sizes and, along with plain colours, shoppers can choose from a variety of designs, including psychedelic patterns and animal motifs.
Pants for men and women are available, as well as hats.
"In the short time we've been going, the demand has been phenomenal," said Mr Metcalfe, managing director at Oddballs Apparel Ltd and founder of North East sportswear company Orion Teamwear.
"We carried out extensive product testing before bringing the shorts to market and everyone says they are the most comfortable boxers they've ever worn."
The shorts have so far received endorsements from a range of sporting stars including Sir Ian Botham, the Sale Sharks Rugby Union Team and Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer.
The business launch and charity donation pledge come less than a week after Mr Harper's close friend and fellow NUFC player Jonas Gutierrez revealed he has undergone treatment for testicular cancer.
The former United keeper was one of the first to issue a heartfelt message to Jonas last week, saying : "Buena suerte a mi amigo Jonas with his battle with testicular cancer. Great lad and teammate who always gave 100% for the Toon shirt."

The School District of Philadelphia is changing the way it plans to sell more than two dozen shuttered school buildings.
District officials announced Wednesday they will now lean on the city to help sell 31 properties that were closed under the district's Facilities Master Plan. Twenty-four of those buildings were shut down forever in June.
Called the Philadelphia Schools Repurposing Initiative, the new plan will allow the district to expedite the sale of "highly marketable" properties to generate funding more quickly.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
The district will work with Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Alan Greenberger and other officials to identify possible reuses for the buildings.
The plan was announced as the district continues to try and close a budget deficit of $304 million. That deficit forced the layoff of more than 3,800 employees and ending of art programs and sports.
City officials have guaranteed $50 million in emergency funding to the district under two plans. One proposal, put forth by Philadelphia City Council, would generate cash through the sale of these buildings.
Under the district's old facilities sale plan, the Adaptive Sale and Reuse Policy, an evaluation team of up to 10 people -- including community members -- would have been put together for each school. That team would then review potential buyers and recommend the best.
The new plan gets rid of that process. Instead, city officials will assess each property and provide recommendations for reuse. A series of meetings will also be held by City Planning Commission officials to listen to public input before facilities are sold, according to the district.
Information about each facility, potential buyers and ways to provide feedback will be available on a website to be created for the process.
The closing of school buildings has been a hotly debated topic over the past year.
Residents and parents have voiced concerns the buildings, many of which are large parcels that need expensive repairs, will sit vacant for a long time and become a haven for dangerous and illicit activities. There's also been fears that the community will not get a proper say in how the buildings are developed.
Officials say the new plan, while "streamlining" the process, will also provide transparency.
"We will work diligently with all of our partners, including the residents of Philadelphia, to ensure that we identify appropriate and productive uses for these buildings that are in keeping with the character of the neighborhoods and communities of which they are such an important part," Greenberger said in a statement.

Police Minister denies farm murders by not declaring these priority crimes
30 May 2018
"Despite more than 195 farm attacks this year, Bheki Cele, Minister of Police, still refuses to declare farm murders priority crimes. This silence and apathy is indicative that Government is in fact deprioritising farm murders and attacks as crimes," says Ian Cameron, AfriForum's Head of Safety.
Cameron argues that the State and especially the Minister's denial of the seriousness of farm attacks and murders in the country indicates that they pay no heed to the extent of the crisis. Cele declared taxi violence, political murders, transit heists and gang violence priority crimes. However, he did not even mention farm murders.
"Yesterday I visited the scene where Fanie (78) and Colleen (74) Engelbrecht were brutally tortured and murdered on 13 May this year. Colleen was burned with a clothing iron, before she was strangled and her throat cut. This is but one of the striking example of a family that was destroyed because of the State's inability to protect people in rural areas," Cameron concludes.

We are supporting Serbian fruit juice producer Nectar's efforts to develop food quality labels that recognise premium local products. Nectar is taking a leading role in promoting the certification of raspberries from the Arilje region in western Serbia under the Geographical Indications (GIs) project of the EBRD and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Some 100 farmers are involved and stand to benefit from improved sales of their high-quality products once they receive GI certification.
As Nectar is the leading fruit juice producer in the Western Balkans, its support will help raise awareness of the GI concept in Serbia and the wider region. It will set an example that can be replicated in other food sectors, boosting the attractiveness of local products on domestic and international markets.
Our financing, worth €30 million, will ensure Nectar's continued backing for the GI concept by refinancing its existing debt portfolio and supporting the stability of its operations. The investment will also finance future energy efficiency improvements and other capital expenditure.

Andrew Bailey traded to the Red Sox, A's get worse
The A's traded Andrew Bailey and Ryan Sweeney to the Boston Red Sox today, in the first big trade that involved a major league reliever this offseason. The team received outfielder Josh Reddick, minor league first baseman Miles Head and right-hander Raul Alcantara. If we look at this haul, obviously, the two key components are Bailey and Reddick.
Bailey is 27 years old, and has averaged exactly 9.0 K/9 in his first three seasons. He's projected to be paid $3.5 million this year, his first year of arbitration, and the Red Sox will have three more years of team control. Bailey is coming off his worst year, though his 3.52 xFIP is hardly something to sneeze at. The slight decline isn't cause for concern probably, but rather likely a regression to a more reasonable mean, as Bailey was lucky in his first two seasons, and showed no velocity dip or pitch-selection change to predicate his drop in production.
Reddick is an MLB outfielder who has been largely disappointing but who also showed a lot last year. He was worth almost two wins in about a half-season worth of plate appearances last year, but was about a half-tick above average at the plate. Reddick is a very good defender in the outfield, and may be able to man center field, where his bat would play very well. However, until this year he was basically Michael Saunders.
The problem with this trade is that the A's gave up Ryan Sweeney, who is basically Reddick's equal, though he's about two years older and has one less year of team control.
The other two components in the trade, Head and Alcantara, are essentially organizational fodder. Head is a right-handed first baseman who hits for some power, and as a right handed first baseman, his bat must be very good. His probably isn't good enough. He's ranked in the late 20's on this prospect list, as is Alcantara, who is basically Erasmo Ramirez with a couple less strikeouts.
What is scary about this though is that Brandon League is probably worth less than Andrew Bailey on the trade market. I wouldn't take what the A's got for Bailey in exchange for Brandon League and Saunders.
I could make a pretty good argument that Ryan Sweeney is nearly as good as Reddick, and that the A's basically gave Bailey up for two shitty prospects. You can love or hate the idea of a Prince Fielder signing, but I really hate the idea of giving up good pitchers for nothing.

Awesome shirt! Super soft material!!
This t shirt is a beautiful shade of blue! I have received many compliments every time I wear it.
I love the color of my shirt and the way it feels. Was complemented today on how nice it is. I really like the weight of the t-shirt. The botanical turtle on the back is so colorful!
Got the shirt for my mom's birthday cause she loves turtles! She loves it! It's so pretty!
The colors of the shirt are very nice however when I saw that the shirt brand changed from Comfort Colors to a cheaper brand, I was extremely disappointed. I have ordered from Shelly Cove before and was well pleased with my purchases. Now that there is a change in shirt brand, it means that the shirt doesn't fit like I was expecting it to and is of lower quality.
Love the shirt I ordered I will order again
I ordered two Botanical T-shirts one for me and one for my daughter. We have had so many compliments. They are beautiful, great quality ! Thank you Shelly Cove!
Get the inside scoop from the turtle hospital! Every order gets a turtle.

Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual
Mark Dvoretsky
Artikelcode: 3-935602-86-3
Russian International Master Mark Dvoretsky is perhaps the most respected chess instructor in the world today. His latest work, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, is sure to become a classic on one of the most difficult and subtile phases in chess. It covers all the most important positions required for endgame mastery, from elementary king-and-pawn endings to complex rook or queen endgames that have baffled even top grandmasters.
From the book's Foreword by Grandmaster Artur Yusupov: "I am sure that those who study this work carefully will not only play the endgame better, but overall, their play will improve. One of the secrets of the Russian chess school is now before you, dear reader!"
From the book's Preface by International Master Jacob Aagaard: "Going through this book will certainly improve your endgame knowledge, but just as important, it will also greatly improve your ability to calculate variations. What really impresses me is the deep level of analysis in the book. All I can say is: This is a great book. I hope it will bring you as much pleasure as it has me."
This CD has all the material that is in the book, only this is in the very popular ChessBase program format.

The Bloody Run Creek Greenway Redevelopment Project
Detroit, MI (2011)
The Bloody Run Creek Greenway Redevelopment Project, a greenway and development plan for daylighting a creek on Detroit's East Side, has the opportunity to become a major ecological public landscape and transformative destination for the City of Detroit.
This green-infrastructure project seeks to strengthen the fabric of the community through its accessibility, inclusiveness, and connections to the city while serving as a catalyst for economic and physical development. The project will also reduce the strain on the sewer system through a reduction in runoff collection, and improve water quality through the natural filtration of pollutants.
Phase I of the project seeks to build off of the strengths of the Eastern Market, the Dequindre Cut, and the riverfront by collecting storm water in a large, public retention pond near Gratiot and Chene Street, cleansing the water, and releasing it into the Detroit River through a series of ponds and waterways.

, 1,127-foot (344 m) tall
, constructed under the supervision of
Skidmore, Owings and Merrill
, with chief designer and structural engineer
Fazlur Khan
Bruce Graham
When completed in 1969, it was the tallest building in the world outside
New York City
It is currently the fourth-tallest building in Chicago and the sixth-tallest in the
United States
, after the
Willis Tower
, the
Empire State Building
, the
Bank of America Tower
, the
Trump Tower
, and the
Aon Center
When measured to the top of its
antenna masts
, it stands at . The building is home to offices and
, as well as about 700
and contains the highest residences in the world. This skyscraper was named for
John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company
, a developer and original tenant of the building.
The 95th floor has long been home to a restaurant, the latest tenant being "The Signature Room on the 95th Floor."
While patrons dine, they can look out at Chicago and
Lake Michigan
The Hancock Center's
observation deck
facilities (called the Hancock Observatory) compete with the Willis Tower's
across town. The Hancock Center is in a commercial district, while the Willis Tower is in the financial district. The Hancock Center 94th floor observation deck displays exhibits about the city of Chicago. Maps explain the view in each direction and a special meshed-in area allows the visitors to feel the winds above ground level. The 44th-floor
sky lobby
features America's highest indoor
swimming pool
The John Hancock Center was erected on the site of
Cap Streeter
's 19th century steamboat shanty.
The area is called
after him, and consists of landfill reclaimed from the lake.
Construction of the tower was briefly halted in 1967 due to a credit crunch experienced by the builder, briefly leaving the building in a truncated form approximately 20 stories high.
This situation is similar to the one currently being experienced with the construction of
Waterview Tower
The building's first resident was Ray Heckla, the original building engineer, responsible for the residential floors from 44-92. Ray and his family moved into a 2 bedroom apartment in April 1969 before the building was completed.
On November 11, 1981,
Veterans Day
, high-rise firefighting and rescue advocate
Dan Goodwin
, for the purpose of calling attention to the inability to rescue people trapped in the upper floors of skyscrapers, successfully climbed the outside of the John Hancock Center. Wearing a wetsuit and using a climbing device that enabled him to ascend the I-beams on the building's side, Goodwin battled repeated attempts by the
Chicago Fire Department
to knock him off. Fire Commissioner William Blair ordered Chicago firemen to stop Goodwin by directing a fully engaged fire hose at him and by blasting fire axes through nearby glass from the inside. Fearing for Goodwin's life, Mayor
Jane Byrne
intervened and allowed him to continue to the top.
On December 18, 1997, comedian
Chris Farley
was found dead in his apartment on the 60th floor of the John Hancock Center.
On March 9, 2002, part of a
(hanging scaffold for window washing & exterior repairs) fell 43 stories after being torn loose by wind gusts around 60 mph (100 km/h), crushing several cars and killing three people in two of them. The remaining part of the stage swung back-and-forth in the gusts repeatedly slamming against the building, damaging cladding panels, breaking windows, and sending pieces onto the street below.
On December 10, 2006, the non-residential portion of the building was sold by
San Francisco
Shorenstein Properties LLC
for $385 million and was purchased by
Goldman Sachs
Shorenstein had bought the building in 1998 for $220 million.
An annual stair climb race up the 94 floors from the Michigan Avenue level to the observation deck called Hustle up the Hancock is held on the last Sunday of February. The climb benefits the

The John Hancock Center
One of the most famous buildings of the
structural expressionist
style, the skyscraper's distinctive X-bracing exterior is actually a hint that the structure's skin is indeed part of its 'tubular system'. This idea is one of the architectural techniques the building used to climb to record heights (the tubular system is essentially the spine that helps the building stand upright during wind and earthquake loads). This X-bracing allows for both higher performance from tall structures and the ability to open up the inside floorplan (and usable floor space) if the architect desires. Original features such as the skin have made the John Hancock Center an architectural icon. It was pioneered by Bangladeshi-American structural civil engineer
Fazlur Khan
and chief architect
Bruce Graham
Unlike the in the
Sears Tower
, the building's antenna masts are the same height, which gives the building a much more symmetrical appearance, despite several similarities in the design of the two buildings.
The interior was remodeled in 1995, adding to the lobby
and textured
surfaces. The elliptical-shaped plaza outside the building serves as a public oasis with seasonal plantings and a 12-foot (3.7 m) waterfall. A band of white
at the top of the building is visible all over Chicago at night and changes colors for different events. For example, at Christmas time the colors are green and red. When a sports team goes far in the playoffs, the colors change, too. When the
Chicago Bears
made the Super Bowl the colors were blue and orange.
The building is a member of the
World Federation of Great Towers
It also has won various awards for its distinctive style, including the Distinguished Architects 25 Year Award from the
American Institute of Architects
in May 1999.
Including its antennas, the John Hancock Center has a height of 1,500 feet (457 m), making it the fifth-tallest building in the world when measured to pinnacle height (after
Burj Dubai
Willis Tower
, the
Shanghai World Financial Center
, and
Taipei 101

When you record a video clip with a mobile phone, it might be more comfortable if you hold the phone in a horizontal position. The phone may rotate the recording automatically when you view it, but this may not happen when you play the video on your PC. Instead of flipping your monitor, or changing its orientation settings, you can use Video Rotator. Its name should make it obvious that you can use the application to rotate your videos.
The software will not slow you down with nag screens or surprise you with hidden restrictions. It works on all modern Windows platforms, from Windows XP to Windows 8 and you can install it in less than a minute. There are no special requirements to meet, so you can run the program right away.
You will not spend too much time with Video Rotator's interface. It includes only a few simple options, with colored icons and clear labels. You may rotate a single video file or process multiple videos in a single run. The videos you target will appear in a list, in the larger area of the interface. A rotation method can be selected from a drop menu, beneath the files list, where you may select an output folder as well.
You can rotate your videos 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, flip it upside-down or mirror it horizontally. Besides rotating videos, the software can also convert them to MP4, MPEG, AVI, MOV or FLV. Among the rotation options, you can find one to leave the video as it was. This means that you can also use Video Rotator just as a converter. The software works fast, so it will not take long to convert and rotate your videos.

ROLLINSFORD — The man charged with attempted armed robbery of a man at a TD Bank ATM in September was arraigned in Superior Court on Tuesday and his bail remained set at $25,000 cash only.
Eric Rouleau, 33, of 15 Prospect St. in Somersworth, was issued two indictments earlier this month for Class A and B felonies of attempted armed robbery and attempted robbery.
Rouleau admitted to police he attempted to rob a customer at the TD Bank ATM at 29 Weeks Lane on the Dover-Rollinsford line on Sept. 2. He also told them he had a knife taped to his arm at the time and had previously planned to rob the actual bank, but found that it was closed for Labor Day when he arrived. It was then that he set his sights on the customer at the ATM.
The charges each carry a sentence of several years in prison.
Rouleau has remained at the Strafford County House of Corrections on $25,000 cash bail since his arrest and has not been accepted into Community Corrections because authorities say he would be a flight risk. If he does make bail, he is to use no drugs or alcohol, have no contact with the victim or the TD Bank in Rollinsford and possess no firearms.
Rouleau's next court date will not be scheduled until January 2014.

• Do you want or need more income?
• Are you tired of trying to do it all by yourself?
• Would you like to reduce your expenses?
• Are you frustrated with the current state of your business?
• Do you wish you had someone with wide business experience to 'bounce' ideas off?
• Do you want more clients?

I want to start this blog off with a bit of a confession: I struggle with creative writing. Now, obviously I write for a living, but here at Udemy, I am not called upon to come up with fiction narratives. It's all educational, essay style writing, which happens to be my strongest area of expertise. "Phew", right? Not really. You see, every now and then, in order to help make a bit of information more clear, I will have to come up with a hypothetical scenario wherein that information would be used – "micro fictions" I call them. The truth is, I even struggle with those sometimes.
Last week, I was writing a blog post on the difference between similes and metaphors, and giving examples of each. I knew the blog post would make more sense if I could relay situations or real-life scenarios that called for the use of these two comparison types, but I was coming up completely blank. Often, what many of us do when we are casting about for ideas is look up from the keyboard, and take in what's around us. I write at my kitchen table, so I began trying to work in the objects nearby. Bananas, wall clock, recycle bin, etc. I can't tell you how many times I came up with "Let's say you're buying bananas at the store, and you need to compare them to…" What? No. That wasn't working. Later that night, I had some friends over, and I asked them to rattle off some examples. Between the five of us, we got a great list going in less than three minutes. Creative writing is hard work, and sometimes you need help to get you started. Crowd sourcing ideas like I did is one technique you can use. Let's look at a few others.
Get Inspired with Mood Music
One of my husband's hobbies is writing, go figure. Where I grapple with fiction, he excels at it, and he would tell you that has a lot to do with the soundtrack. Whenever he writes, he has music playing. He uses services like Spotify or Pandora to help him build up a playlist that fits a certain mood. Personally, I find music a little distracting sometimes, but he finds it inspiring. The stories he is able to come up with while taking cues and ideas from the sound-scape are deeper and more complex as a result.
Many people consider music to be a great accompaniment to writing, and that makes perfect sense. If you would have music on during a workout to inspire you to push harder, why not use the same concept to further your writing? Also, if you are easily distracted by noises around you (kids carrying on, ringing phones, noisy conversations nearby, etc) music might be just enough to drown them out, and let you focus.
Get your book started with help from a pro.
Hit the Library
Now we get to one of my favorite writing techniques: research. Even though you may be writing in a completely fictitious setting, you still might benefit from a little real-life research to give you some more ideas. You may think that your futuristic space opera doesn't have an awful lot to gain from reference materials, but perhaps it does. Will your characters be living on a space ship for a long time? How are they feeding everyone? Can you grow plants in space? If so, why, and how can that information be used in your story? Even if you embellish it, and make it fit into your particular story universe, having a few hard facts on your side can help you take your story further.
Your cowboy story might be nearly complete, but as you read over it, you may notice you use generic terms like "hat" and "gun" a lot. Can you go research the types of hats that would have been worn in that time period? Does one of your characters own a hat that is actually way more expensive than he should be able to afford? Why? Where did he get it? Getting yourself set up with this combination of raw information and questions can gain you layers of depth in your story.
Get the Picture
We've covered auditory and written-word inspiration. What if you are more visually oriented? Sometimes, the next spark of writing inspiration can come from an image. Flipping through pictures is a creative writing technique that can help immensely with setting, theme, mood and character creation. You know you want to write a story about a battlefield nurse saving lives, but you keep getting hung up on how the scenes should play out, visually.
Sometimes, you have your story all outlined and ready to go, but filling in the pages between the beginning and the end can be a challenge. Go find some pictures that are associated with your subject matter. Look at them, and see what stories they are telling. They say a picture is worth 1000 words, and that may well be true for writers. What can you extrapolate from these images, and how can they apply to your story?
Write Everything Down
Let me know if this sounds familiar: you are sitting in your car, waiting for the traffic light to change, when you suddenly have a burst of inspiration. You have been wondering for weeks how the villain got around the guards to set that trap, and it just now hit you. The light turns green, you have a 30 minute drive remaining, and by the time you get home, you are sure you have already forgotten one or two aspects of your great idea.
Now, certainly, I'm not saying you should begin writing or worse, texting while in your car. I use that example because sometimes, these odd little moments of clarity hit us when we least expect them. Carrying around a scratch pad and pen to scribble ideas as they hit you can help you remember them for later, when you actually have time to write. And if you do happen to be in the car, or otherwise unable to take your eyes off an important task, learn to make liberal use of that "voice memos" option on your phone.
Question Everything
A common issue writers run into is that while their story makes sense to them, it doesn't always make sense to the average reader. In order to help flesh out your story, and look for any missing gaps in the narrative, start asking yourself questions. If you have a friend willing to read over your work, and hand you a list of questions they have, that can also be incredibly helpful. Try to look at your story through the eyes of a first time reader. What questions would a newcomer have?
"Why is the main character resorting to vigilante justice?" "Why didn't she have faith in law enforcement?" "How did she pull that off without getting caught?" If, throughout the course of the story, any of these questions remain unanswered, it is time to go back there and tighten things up.
This can also be a great technique for coming up with new creative writing ideas. Sometimes, the inspiration for a story can be as simple as one sentence "A town was hastily abandoned overnight, and nobody knows why". From that first idea, you can begin asking questions to flesh out the story. "Has this happened before?" "Is there reason to suspect the paranormal?" Simply by answering these questions, you can begin to write your story.
Udemy can also help get you started on writing your first book. Don't let your stories go untold.

How God Sees Death
I'm torn between sadness and joy today at the news that the father of a very dear friend of mine has lost a long battle with cancer. He went home to Jesus peacefully the day before yesterday. I've been thinking about it all day, how his last view on this earth would have been the family that loved him, and his next view would have been the face of his Creator, Whom he will spend eternity with. In the midst of thinking about this, John Meunier posted an entry on his blog, entitled God of the living. John makes some potent statements which minister to me:
"Death does not look the same to God as it does to us … To God, we remain alive. To God those we love still live. Death is a doorway, not a dead end."

The appointment of Honorary Professors including our Founding Donor, Dr Don McCarthy, also provides a wealth of expertise to ensure we meet the needs of the fashion industry, in a fast-changing and challenging consumer market.
The British School of Fashion is dedicated to providing the best educational experience possible to our students, regardless of background. Through industry supported scholarship programmes we invest in the fashion leaders of tomorrow, providing financial support and an enhanced academic experience to those in need.
The British School of Fashion at GCU embodies the University's endeavour to promote enterprise, innovation and learning underpinned by a deep-rooted social conscience. We recognise that the fashion industry has a responsibility to conduct business in an ethical manner, to promote and practice fair trade. This is reflected in the work of The Fair Fashion Centre housed within our New York campus. This initiative acts as both a repository and conduit of information, and the centre is focused on examining the business case for sustainability in the fashion industry.
Furthermore, the British School of Fashion has responded to a worldwide call to put social responsibility, ethics and sustainability at the top of the agenda for training future business leaders by becoming a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact-backed initiative: the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). Our participation in PRME exhibits our long-term mission to deliver economic and social benefits at home and across the world, and the values of PRME underpin the entirety of the British School of Fashion's portfolio. Through this commitment, we will continue to improve engagement with the cause.

Apollo Bay Ocean Yacht Race
|Ocean Race distance:
|52 nautical miles
|Safety Category:
|Start Location:
|Start Time:
|Start Date:
|Saturday 18 May, 2019
|Race Record:
|05h 24m 04s by KAOS skippered by Peter Blake in 1999
A short coastal race starting off Queenscliff, going out of Port Phillip Heads before turning right to follow the coast to Apollo Bay.
As the concluding race on the summer racing calendar, the 52 mile dash to Apollo Bay often decides the Ocean Racing Championship.
It is also an ideal race for those new to ocean racing with its shorter length and proximity to the coast.
The race is often won or lost by navigators and tacticians in their decisions to sail a seaward course or hug the shoreline in search of better breeze.
Berthing is available in the Apollo Bay marina and there are excellent facilities in the town for meals and post race refreshment.
For information regarding berthing (there are limited positions available) please contact the Port of Apollo Bay on 03-5232 9475 during business hours.
The after-hours number (for berthing enquiries or information regarding navigation and the conditions at the harbour entrance) is 0418-320 441
This race is part of the Offshore Championship.

Group may refer to:
In shooting, a shot grouping, or simply grouping, is the placement of multiple shots on a target, the shots taken in one shooting session. The closeness of the grouping, the nearness of all the shots to each other, is a measure of the accuracy of a weapon, and a measure of the shooter's consistency and skill.
For firearms that shoot one round at a time, a shot grouping can be used to measure the accuracy of the system comprised out of weapon as well as the precision and uniformity of the ammunition by fixing the weapon into position on a test mount, and aiming it at a target. Multiple shots using rounds from same type and batch are fired to observe how the weapon groups the shots. If a person holds the weapon and shoots it, the grouping measures the combination of the person's skill and the weapon's accuracy.
In shotgun shooting, the grouping is also called the pattern. The pattern is the spread of shot from a single shotgun shell, measured as the smallest circle containing all the shots on the target. The barrel of a shotgun is designed to deliver a wide or narrow grouping, depending on the expected use. Shooting at close range indicates a cylinder bore barrel to deliver a wide grouping, while for hunting at longer distances such as 50 yards or meters, a choke is recommended for a tighter grouping.
A stratigraphic unit is a volume of rock of identifiable origin and relative age range that is defined by the distinctive and dominant, easily mapped and recognizable petrographic, lithologic or paleontologic features (facies) that characterize it.
Units must be mappable and distinct from one another, but the contact need not be particularly distinct. For instance, a unit may be defined by terms such as "when the sandstone component exceeds 75%".
Sequences of sedimentary and volcanic rocks are subdivided on the basis of their lithology. Going from smaller to larger in scale, the main units recognised are Bed, Member, Formation, Group and Supergroup.
A bed is a lithologically distinct layer within a member or formation and is the smallest recognisable stratigraphic unit. These are not normally named, but may be in the case of a marker horizon.
A member is a named lithologically distinct part of a formation. Not all formations are subdivided in this way and even where they are recognized, they may only form part of the formation.
A renewable resource is an organic natural resource which can replenish to overcome usage and consumption, either through biological reproduction or other naturally reoccurring processes. Renewable resources are a part of Earth's natural environment and the largest components of its ecosphere. A positive life cycle assessment is a key indicator of a resource's sustainability.
Definitions of renewable resources may also include agricultural production, as in sustainable agriculture and to an extent water resources. In 1962 Paul Alfred Weiss defined Renewable Resources as: "The total range of living organisms providing man with food, fibres, drugs, etc...". Another type of renewable resources is renewable energy resources. Common sources of renewable energy include solar, geothermal and wind power, which are all categorised as renewable resources.
Water can be considered a renewablematerial when carefully controlled usage, treatment, and release are followed. If not, it would become a non-renewable resource at that location. For example, groundwater is usually removed from an aquifer at a rate much greater than its very slow natural recharge, and so groundwater is considered non-renewable. Removal of water from the pore spaces may cause permanent compaction (subsidence) that cannot be renewed. 97.5% of the water on the Earth is salt water, and 3% is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater, with only a small fraction (0.008%) present above ground or in the air.

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to continue your study of abstract algebra be learning about rings, fields, modules and vector spaces.

So, you have an accurate rifle? Try this drill to see just how accurate YOU are. I can teach a monkey to shoot targets at 500 meters. As a matter of fact, I HAVE taught monkeys how to shoot accurately. That said, anyone can shoot stationary targets from a prone stable firing position. We call the "Tactical Rifleman," because we don't just focus on target shooting . Rather, we focus on all the skills that today's operators need to be successful on the modern battlefield. For precision rifle shooting, that means getting out of your comfort zone and shooting from expedient firing positions, under various conditions, and a variety of targets and distances. So, this video I want to talk about & demonstrate (video, duh) a great drill I've put together for making snipers perfect th...

I was requested to do some shooting showing my grouping, Here It is.
Here's a video I made demonstrating the 25 metre distance shooting and grouping capabilities of the Walther Rotex RM8 rifle. Just a bit of back garden plinking really, but I'm pretty impressed with the results. Don't forget, although I'm aiming at the centre of the taget with every shot, I'm not concerned about hitting it. This video is about pellet groupings. Also, don't forget, some of these shots are tearing (ripping) the target apart, so the overall hole looks much bigger than where the pellets actually hit it.
good to verify accuracy with many shots if you can afford to LOL, 3 shot groupings or the luck of the irish may not always work since the next shots may go other places, this is the reason for shooting many shots, some rifles need to "foul up" to shoot better and then others need a perfectly clean barrel, it depends on your rifle, but to find the fouling point of your rifle you can do 5 sets of 5 after cleaning barrel, allowing rifle to cool down equal times in between shots, for air guns this isnt that important

In this video simply a method is shown for learning stratigraphic units of zaluch group (salt range, Pakistan) in sequence according to their age, according to their period of deposition. Also field pictures are present for simple explanation. The shown method is ideal and you will never forget the stratigraphic units of zaluch group.
This video is about strtigraphic units of Jehlum group and their contacts. Actually in this video a method is shown for learning the five stratigraphic units of jehlum group in sequence according to the period of deposition. Once you learned the five units then their contacts are obvious from that sequence. In this video pictures of the five units of jehlum group and thier sedimentary structures are also present for simple explanation.

Express Book Review: Widow Basquiat by Jennifer Clement
Bummer that he was such a jerk (albeit with apparently charming moments). Being an arty person myself, and spending lots of time with artists, I have very little patience for people who feel like they can treat others badly just because they made rad art. But still, as I stood in Uniqlo looking at their brilliant and desirable SPRZNY line of artist shirts, I couldn't bring myself to feel ok about buying the shirt I liked with Basquiat's art on the front. He was just too mean to poor Suzanne. (Did I buy garments with other artists' designs? Yes. Do I feel bad about the sweatshop factor? Yes. Will I probably continue to buy products from this line because it does a genius job of showcasing the artists I love? Probably. Siiiigh. BUT there is hope! J Morrison is an artist who makes some really awesome artist themed shirts. Ethically. There are still a few left. I've bought a few and they've made my life awesome. BUY THEM, cuz OMG. )
But back to Widow Basquiat— this is a beautifully written book. It poetically explores the lives of both Jean-Michel Basquiat and his longtime off-and-on lover Suzanne Mallouk. Even if you don't care for the art, or weren't in NY for the 80's, you'll love the story (if you go for that romantic artistic kind of stuff). Check it out!!
Book Review: Beau, Lee, The Bomb, & Me
Just a quickie (even though I think this book deserves more) :
If you're looking for a super-smart teen protagonist, good (both rich and witty) dialogue, and lots of feelings, check out Beau, Lee, The Bomb, and Me. Our protagonist Rylee is super-smart, but fat and an outcast at school– she ends up going on a surprise road trip to San Francisco with Beau, a bullied gay kid at her school, and Leonie, her bff (of circumstance) who's basically the class ho with a heart of gold (and as it turns out, lots of really good qualities).
While I didn't find the entirety of the story 100% believable, lots of the different parts are really heartfelt, interesting, and awesome. Read it. You'll get through it in about a day, and you'll totally be googling the author to see if there is more. check it outtttt! Or buy it. It's on sale for under $7.
