Shabbo's last chance
Twelve-year-old Shabbo rediscovered herself at a Residential Bridge
Course that helps out-of-school girls like her make a new
beginning in their lives.
Thank you for joining the Awaaz Do campaign and raising your voice for
8 million out-of-school children, like Shabbo. You truly are their champion.
I am sure you will continue to walk this tough path with us.
Dreams shattered even before they could take shape
Till recently Shabbo's life had been sheer drudgery. The eldest of five sisters, she had to be pulled out of school, barely two months after joining it. Shabbo had to join the other village girls and take up work at a nearby zardozi centre, doing traditional embroidery with gold and silver threads.
The only luxury that she allowed herself once in a while, was to 'steal' a few rupees from her daily earnings and treat herself to
and an ice lolly.
The percentage of girl dropouts is very high in Uttar Pradesh which has nearly a quarter of a million children out of school. UNICEF, in partnership with the Uttar Pradesh Government, has been working to bring girls back to school. But we need your support to make it possible.
A ray of hope in the dark clouds of despair
Shabbo is one of the many girls who have gained from the Residential Bridge Course initiative. When a field worker came looking for out-of-school girls to be enrolled in a Residential Bridge Course (RBC). Shabbo who had faint, but happy memories of her school days showed an eagerness to join.
"Hum toh zindagi bhar bus kaam hi kartey reh gaey"
[I have been working all my life] she explained emotionally.
When she joined the RBC she got a chance to reshape her future and Shabbo welcomed this change with open arms. Thanks to supporters and donors like you.
Donate now to bring this change to other children like Shabbo.
She benefitted from the UNICEF devised innovative educational concept to teach out of school girls between the ages of 11-14 years at special residential schools.
For us to take this initiative to each and every out-of-school child, we need your contribution.
Warm regards,
Shweta Luthra
UNICEF India
P.S. Education gave Shabbo a new meaning and direction in life. She knows that life would never be the same again.
Donate now to make a similar difference in the lives of thousands of other children who need your support.

Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and
forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you
to repentance? (Romans 2:4 ESV)
God does not have to be kind to us.
He does not have to bless us.
He does not have to love us.
Think about that.
He is Jehovah Hashopet—the Lord Judge of the Universe!
The most powerful being…ever…He could squash us like bugs, if He was so inclined. He could enslave us all and force us to do His bidding. He could mold us and make us into tiny brainless automatons, living the lives He wants us to lead with no say in the matter—like Barbie dolls and Toy Soldiers—going where He wants us to go, saying what He wants us to say. He has that kind of power!
Yes, I know that sounds like something out of a Sci-Fi movie. However, if God were a different kind of god our lives could be poles apart from where they are now.
Our God, though, despite His overwhelming power—or maybe because of it—is
a kind and loving God. He has the power to judge us and make us pay for our crimes, yet He is instead loving and forgiving. He is patient and merciful. He allows us to make our own
mistakes; and, He works with us, helping us, to learn from them and move forward.
Paul tells us, in the above passage, that we should be grateful for that loving kindness. He reminds us that we should feel such thankfulness for the Lord's patience and understanding that we want to live repentant lives. Because of His gift of forgiveness we should doing our utmost to live in such a way as to please Him, always.
Instead we are forever taking steps backward, moving in the wrong direction, living lives of sinful selfishness—acting like spoiled brats.
I am just as guilty as anyone. I am self-centered, jealous, angry, vengeful and often just plain rotten. I am often shamed by my own behavior. I can't help but wonder…How much more so is HE ashamed of me?
And yet, He loves me anyway!
Today, I will be meditating on God's kindness and transversely, my own selfishness. I would ask you to do the same. Ask yourself this question: Am I taking God's loving kindness for granted? If the answer is yes…it's time to make a change!

Rime is created by supercooled water droplets that freeze on contact with surfaces. It is pretty common in mountains because of the cold temperatures. At the University of Utah Flight Park South weather station, we replaced a precipitation sensor, and saw a lot of riming on the fence and all the weather instruments.

Freezing Rain
Freezing rain is a pretty rare occurrence in Utah. We had an event in January which gave everyone trouble. And here we are again with another event likely to happen.
This morning's sounding (data from a weather balloon) from the Salt Lake International Airport shows the surface is really cold and the air above us is warm. This is called an inversion.
The inversion is partly responsible for the poor air quality right now, shown below...
If you take a look outside, you can't see much of the valley...
This storm will help clear this out.
The Thursday morning the NAM shows a pressure trough approaching Utah bringing moisture. We're expected to get precipitation out of this shown in the bottom right panel. But the temperatures at 700mb (about at the top of the mountains) is above freezing. The falling snow will melt in the warm layer, and freeze on contact with the surface in our cold valley. This will create some slippery roads, so be careful!

From studio motorcycling to industry recycling, public relations has long been a major catalyst for Georgia growth
Jutting precariously from the roof of the old Biltmore Hotel on West Peachtree, twin radio antennae erected in 1922 and doggedly surviving into the 1990's serve as a quaint and poignant reminder of the early years of public relations in the state of Georgia.
Before revealing the connection between Georgia public relations and those two relic structures that look more like miniature oil field derricks than modern-day radio station towers, let's set the historic scene to see how the profession of public relations has emerged.
Dating to the Great Depression, industry and business hired publicity men and press agents, most having moved into these roles after stints as newspaper reporters. These publicists essentially wrote the prologue to the profession of public relations.
This time 30 years ago in PRSA Georgia history. . .
A retrospective on the Georgia chapter's key role when Atlanta hosted the 1988 Democratic National Convention written by PRSA Georgia member Judith Webb, APR.

Adenike Ogunlesi founder, Ruff N' Tumble
Adenike Ogunlesi is the founder of Ruff 'n' Tumble, a childrens clothing line in Nigeria. From a tiny shop with her and her mother as the main staff, Adenike aka Nike turned Ruff 'n' Tumble into an instantly recognizable brand. She has built a reputation for being one of the best manufacturers of children's clothing in Nigeria.
"My kids ran out of pajamas. And I used to make clothing for women. So I decided that I'd just make some pajamas for my kids. "
In her second year as an undergraduate law student at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Adenike opted out of school unsure of what to do with her life. She then reluctantly accepted her mother's invitation to work in her womens tailor shop. That experience helped her to discover who she was and what she wanted to do.
"I started in 1996, I was selling from the back of my car, I was selling at bazaars. Everywhere, there was a bazaar, I was there, my table and my suit case, my children and sometimes even my husband. So it all started then."
Today Ruff 'N' Tumble is a thriving business with 50 employees and distribution along the West African coast.
"We don't export now. Export to the West African coast, yes, all along the West African coast, yes, but to say, America or to England, I'm not interested in it at all. If 40 percent of the 120 million people in Nigeria are children, I have the potential of a huge market here."
Adenike was featured in the Africa Open for Business documentary and was recognized as the FATE Foundation Model Entrepreneur in 2005.

46 years after men first walked on the moon, we are reminded that while rocket fuel powered the Apollo 11 spacecraft, governments still run on paperwork.
Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, still has the US Customs form from his return trip back to Earth and recently shared it on Twitter.
You have to smile at how "Moon" was dropped into his "Places visited on route" as if it were no big deal. "Moon rocks and moon dust" were also listed as items to declare.
Aldrin also turned in a travel voucher for $33.31 when he returned to earth. Most of his expenses were for car trips to and from airports and driving around the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Posted by Buzz Aldrin on Thursday, July 30, 2015
At the bottom of the Customs form it asks traveler to list "Any other condition on board which may lead to the spread of disease," which the astronauts ominously answered: "To be determined."

After 10 years of hosting our very popular Ross Yancher ePostal event, we've branched out and added a new version, and a longer competition window to the traditional Brute Squad challenge.
If you've ever wanted to try the full distance event (200 fly-400IM-1650free) but thought it was just a little beyond your reach, you might take the plunge into the Lite version.
The 2019 contest now includes a shorter Brute Squad combo of the
100 fly, 200 IM and 500 free
and is open for competition during the entire months of October and November.
The meet information page is available here. But remember to swim the event first and enter online afterwards.
Completing either of these races is still something to brag about!

The holidays are such a fun time of year. So many of my favorite traditions seem to revolve around food. That can make it really difficult to stay true to your healthy eating habits. One of the hardest things for me to avoid are sweets. There are cookies and candies everywhere. I knew I needed to make my own so I could be sure they only include ingredients I want to eat and none I don't. Plus, I'm a sucker for traditions, so nothing was going to stop me from making Christmas cookies. I was determined to make a batch of cookies that I am proud of. These are the cookies I came up with.
Some important things to keep in mind while making this recipe would be to make sure you refrigerate your dough for at least 4 hours before rolling it. You also want to keep the dough covered and cool at all times. Keeping the dough covered makes sure it won't dry out while you aren't using it. Keeping it cool helps the dough be less sticky when it is rolled out, and it makes it easier to work with. Be sure to return the covered bowl of dough to the fridge when you are rolling out the other portions. When rolling out the dough you want to be sure you are placing it on a well floured surface so your dough doesn't stick. With these tips your cookies will turn out perfect!
These gingerbread cookies are packed full of health benefits. Yes, you read that sentence correctly. Molasses is full minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory and can help with everything from a sore throat to an upset stomach. Cinnamon helps lower blood sugar and can prevent tooth decay. These cookies are also made without oil or sugar. They are part of a whole food, plant-based diet.
Give your family and friends cookies that they can enjoy without guilt. This recipe spreads good health to all those you love. If you tried this recipe, let me know in the comments below. Happy holidays!
This delicious treat is healthy and perfect for the holidays!
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
Mix together applesauce, syrup, molasses, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
Start slowly adding flour until soft dough forms. When you can't stir anymore, remove from bowl and knead the rest of the flour in.
Return to bowl and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Roll out dough on a floured surface (divide into quarters, roll out one quarter at a time), and cut with your favorite cookie cutters.
Place cookies on parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Your daily selection of the hottest trending tech news!
According to Engadget
It's not just video games — virtual reality has lots of potential to change the way we experience information. You can experience what its like to walk in space with the BBC's ISS app for Oculus, watch every NBA game this season with your VR headset or lean back and experience the globe without ever leaving your house via Discovery channel's VR travel series. The trendy new tech is unavoidable, like in a new advertising campaign featuring NYX makeup and Samsung Gear VR.
Called the "Impossibly NYX Professional Makeup" experience, you'll be able to watch three makeup tutorials from top beauty video bloggers Kristen Leanne, Mykie, and Karen Sarahi Gonzalez. You'll also be able to use the Gear VR controllers to select different NYX products to learn more about, and you'll be able to to buy the products that are featured in the tutorials at a reduced price. You'll be able to try it out yourself starting December 18th in "select" NYX Professional Makeup stores, with a national rollout to the rest of its 42 retail stores during 2018.
This isn't the first foray into merging technology with makeup, of course. Sephora has its own way of selling makeup via AR tech, yet another trend in the space. While it's hard to say whether a makeup tutorial in VR is any better than one on a flat screen, we'll likely see more of this type of immersive branded advertising in the near future.

Terrible wordplay, eh?
I remember Mr.Sundar Pichai unveiling Google Duplex feature booking appointments and my introvert friends going completely crazy over it. Apparently, introverts don't mind being judged by voice assistants. Not just informative but they are witty too, which makes the conversations unending and more human.The hilarious video of Alexa ranting about users asking her to play despacito repeatedly, caught on internet for a while.
Though, voice assistants have become a next door thing. There are still a handful of issues they get stuck with:
- With a larger target market with diverse demands, it becomes difficult to gauge how the users will interact with the product.Language barriers and understanding accents is another setback with voice assistants. The video shows Alexa having trouble understanding the Scottish accent.
2.The other challenge is the abilty of voice assistants to integrate with new devices . For example,the Apple HomePod does not play Google Music, and the Amazon Echo does not have iTunes.With the advent of technology, the syncing issue would only bevome more grave.
3. Though Voice assistants have made banking easier, the data security remains to be an important question. You can ask alexa to pay the bills, tell you about your bank balance.Regional banking giant U.S. Bank is the first bank to be on all three services — Alexa, Siri and Assistant. The potential problem that lies is here, if the user voices are recorded, manipulated and replayed.
4. Several consumer groups and governments have raised the potential privacy issues with interactive smart devices due to their
numerous microphones and in some cases cameras. Data security also remains a concern for consumers,
particularly as devices collect rising levels of personal information, including health information, schedules,
and contact data.
Voice assistants can be a brilliant one stop solution for our needs and simplifying our everyday life, if these issues are sorted.

Atlanta Gains A Classic Hip-Hop OG
Cumulus flipped CHR "Q100/20" 97.9 W250BC Atlanta/99.7 WWWQ-HD3 to Classic Hip-Hop "OG 97.9" at 12pm today.
The station joins Core Communicator's "Old School 99.3" in the Classic Hip-Hop arena in Atlanta. Unlike 99.3, the 97.9 signal does cover all of Atlanta proper.
The previous "Q100/20" format was a new music centric flanker to CHR "Q100" 99.7 WWWQ. It registered a 0.6 share in the November Nielsen Audio PPM Ratings monthly released yesterday.
The first hour of OG 97.9 consisted of:
Snoop Dogg – Gin & Juice
DMX – Party Up
Fugees – Ready Or Not
Ice Cube – Check Yo Self
Lil Jon & Yin Yang Twins & East Side Boyz – Get Low
Dr. Dre – Nothin But A G Thing
Jay Z – Big Pimpin
Missy Elliot – Work It
Warren G & Nate Dogg – Regulate
Juvenile – Back That Thing Up
50 Cent – In Da Club
2Pac – How Do You Want It
Naughty By Nature – Hip Hop Hooray
Joe – I Wanna Know
Notorious B.I.G. – Big Poppa
Outkast – Ms. Jackson
OG 97.9 FM launched today at noon as Atlanta's Classic Hip Hop station. It's the throwback hip hop you grew up featuring Dr Dre, Missy Elliott, Notorious B.I.G., Jay Z, Ludacris, Snoop, and LL Cool J; all the O-G's of Hip-Hop.
In 1990 hip-hop made up one-third of the Hot 100. By 1999, it was the country's best-selling genre, with more than 81 million albums sold. Atlanta, the heart of the Dirty South, was a hot bed of the music and culture during this period. The city hosted the rise of Outkast, Ludacris, TLC, Jermaine Dupri, Goodie Mob, Bow Wow, Kriss Kross and more. Now these artists and their East and West Coast counterparts finally have a proper home on Atlanta's OG 97.9-Classic Hip Hop.
"This is an exciting day for Atlanta radio," said Cumulus Atlanta Operations Manager Rob Roberts. "We are bringing a format that hasn't been available and we're thrilled to be the home of Classic Hip Hop."
OG 97.9 FM replaces Q100-20, which will continue to be available to fans via Rdio's Q100-20 Playlist. Information regarding Q100-20 is available at www.Q100Atlanta.com.
For more information about OG 97.9 FM Classic Hip Hop programming and events listen to 97.9 FM or log on to www.OG979.com. Follow on Facebook and on Twitter @OG979ATL.

Hey there! I am Katie.
Welcome to my online home!
I am an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Professional Organizer. Before starting my business, I worked in Fashion PR for almost a decade. Remind me to tell you that story another time. When it comes to your health and healing journey, I believe the most impactful changes are made gradually one small step at a time with an open heart, open mind and lots of support.
I believe a little organization and subtle shifts in your home and work environment can lead to big changes your daily life.
I help women in transitional phases of life who feel overwhelmed with mental and physical clutter reclaim their time, energy and space and peel back the layers to discover underlying blocks affecting other areas of their lives and careers so that they can reach levels of success they previously thought were out of reach with grace, beauty, pleasure and ease.

This evening I went for cocktails at the Beaker and Flask in south east Portland. The place is pretty busy and they have a seating policy which doesn't allow for a standing room situation. I started out with a bourbon based absinthe drink.
They source the bar ware from estate sales and antique shops, so our glasses were vintage and fantastic.
Our Bartender, Elizabeth, was really sharp. While she was crafting my cocktails she told me about her sourcing trip to Kentucky. She and I had a great conversation about bourbon, she selected a barrel and brought it back for the bar. I followed up with an old fashion with monster ice cubes and a giant slice of orange peel.
Dinner was at Lovely Hula Hands, another great experience. Roasted beat and potato salad with fennel, calabrian chiles and creamy horseradish. Followed by a caramelized cauliflower risotto. Desert tied it together; house made brown sugar ice cream with a cakey ginger bread. Not to sweet, good texture.
Lovely night.
We now have a limited edition release of this single bag lot from Hacienda Santa Rosa on our shelves. Yep, Gustavo only had about 150 lbs worth of yield and we got it all. It's a new micro plot surrounded and isolated by forest corridors on all sides. This plot has similar elevation to Buena Esperanza. High nitrogen soil and it's planted under the existing rustic hardwood canopy. This is a beautiful plot and a beautiful coffee. Available at @barismo171 and @barismo364.

January Update
Check out this gorgeous horse. I used to be a total horse freak when I was younger. Why do so many girls go through a horse phase?
New year, new me. Sorta. Not really. But I will be having to make some life adjustments, because I've begun my MFA in Creative Writing! I am so grateful to have been accepted into my top choice, and I am extremely excited about the upcoming semester. It will be interesting to see how well I can juggle my coursework, my full-time job, gym trips, and a social life. I think the fact that I am super pumped about my semester plan will make a big difference. Work is always easier if you enjoy it.
I am also tentatively discussing publication with one of my favorite journals. I won't say anything until (and unless) my piece gets the final green light, but I am completely delighted and honored to have even gotten this far.

New Publication and MFA Prep
Hello everyone,
The holidays are just around the corner. The holidays have always been bittersweet for me. I enjoy seeing my family and I enjoy all the food, but at the same time I find the season incredibly stressful. This is magnified by the fact that I am in the middle of my MFA pre-course work. I am very excited to begin my program, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more than a little nervous. There's a lot about this program that is uncharted territory for me, as I do not have a degree in Creative Writing and have very little workshop experience. With all that said, I do think this will be a very good experience for me, and will go a long way in making myself more comfortable with and confident in my own writing.
In other news, I have had a short horror piece published in Soft Cartel, which you can read here. I really like the work they've been putting up over there, and they are quickly becoming one of my favorite journals.
I hope your holidays are as painless as possible.

August 27th, 2018
Good morning, or afternoon, or evening,
I have received my first publication! I submitted two stories to The Molotov Cocktail's Flash Beast contest. One made it to the Close-But-No-Cigar list, and the other placed 6th out of the top 10. The piece that placed is called The Lions, and is about a man struggling with his deteriorating mental and emotional health.
I am still in shock. After over a year of submitting work to journals and magazines with no luck, this has encouraged me to continue to put myself and my work out there. Incredibly validating, and I am honored to be featured alongside such talent.
You can read The Lions (and all the other amazing pieces on this list) here.

Spring Update
It's been a couple months, so time for a quick update.
I am continuing to submit fiction to lit journals. So far, no acceptances, but I am well aware that failure comes with the territory and I am not letting it discourage me.
I visited AWP 2018 at the beginning of March, and it was a wonderful experience. I had never been around so many people who were interested in writing. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend every panel I wanted with some time left over to explore the exhibition hall. I left with a ton of notes, merch, and new journals to submit to. I highly recommend AWP to anyone with the time and funds to attend.
I was extended an offer of admission by my top MFA program. I am beyond thrilled, and will begin in 2019.
Vowing to exercise and eat right, but we'll see how that goes.

Beginning of the year update
I will keep things brief and straightforward, as I value both privacy and honesty.

Police in Mexico have reportedly seized a Ford pickup truck fitted with steel armor, the latest innovation in homemade armored vehicles used by Mexico's drug trafficking organizations.
The so-called "narco-tank" is a 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty with steel armor plates welded to nearly every surface and a folding battering ram, or "man-ram" fitted to the front bumper, the BBC reports. The cargo bay was transformed into a metal cabin, complete with gun ports and a rotating turret, presumably to protect passengers from gunfire.
The tank was found abandoned in a rural area of Jalisco, a state in western Mexico that is a hotbed of violence in the escalating drug wars. It is not clear what criminal group had been using the vehicle.
Jalisco is the former stronghold of Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel, a top boss for the powerful Sinaloa Cartel who was killed in 2010. Since his death, the cartel has been locked in a bloody turf battle with the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, a new drug gang thought to be made up of remnants of other criminal groups.
Mexican authorities have often complained that the drug trafficking organizations are better armed and equipped than the security forces. Other cartel weapons innovations include other armored vehicles, such as El Monstruo 2011, narco-submarines, and ultralight aircraft. The innovations point to the growing militarization of Mexico's drug cartels.

Culloden, Newtonmore & Cawdor Castle.
Last post of my September 2015 Scottish road trip. By the way, I still have my last May Scottish trip and last London July trip to share with you. Did I already tell you that I'll spend one month in Scotland from the 21st of October to the 21st of November this year? I am so excited right now! I just dream more and more about the day I'll be able to move there definitely…
For our last days, we went to visit two more distilleries: Balblair and Glenmorangie. The first one reminds me the movie "angel's share" that I really enjoyed. Did you see it? :3
Culloden was a very emotional place to be. I literally cried. I nearly had a anxiety crisis when we were on the cinema: we saw how, in just few minutes, the English destroyed the weakened and exhausted Jacobite army. I felt also ashamed to be french, on how we could have helped more. Well, the battlefield museum is a must-see in Scotland, for sure. Huge part of history was made here, and I felt so impressed and powerless. I mean, so…. little!
Then, we visited Cawdor Castle. It was charming and I surely enjoyed the gardens: some parts were so frenchy, symmetrically and well-builded like Le Nôtre style; other parts so British! We went to Fort George as well. Very impressive!
I forgot to take pics of my outfit on the first day, but on the second, I was wearing my Jane Marple JSK and my corseted belt from Clara Maeda, that I cherish a lot!

By request, here are my notes from today. Thanks to the
rain, the ink was disappearing as I was speaking!/ru
I am not here today to talk about politics.
Let me tell you why.
For example, I'm not really interested in discussions about
this tax or that tax, because it amounts to debating whether
we should prefer a ball and chain around our ankles to a
yoke upon our necks.
In any case, as long as you are forced to pay tax to keep
your own homestead, you are a serf; the amount of such a
tax only defines the depth of your serfdom. Why do we not
hear impassioned calls for a "fair property tax" — which
would be none whatsoever?
The income tax forces you to share your profits with your
masters to further their own purposes. But even if you
object to the arrangement forced upon you, the property tax
says "you must work within whatever state profit-sharing
arrangement exists, or you will be homeless."
Some people would like to tell you that one political party
or another, one political organization or another, or one
mass media demagogue or another is the answer. We have been
told this for as long as I can remember, for my entire life.
They tell you this because the last thing they want you to
realize is that the answer is actually within each one of
us. What we have been failing to do is to ask the right
I think I would receive much agreement here if I were to say
that stealing is wrong, regardless of whether or not it has
been legalized.
But is it wrong for the State, in the name of "law and
order", to kill a man who resists stealing of his
possessions and furthermore refuses to be carted off to the
dungeon for mere defense of his property, with knowledge
that he would then both be in the dungeon and his property
would be taken to boot?
What about when the State lies about the value of a man's
property, so that its self-interested taking of the property
can be spun as having come at less cost to the taxpayers?
Let's go back a few generations with the "Ghost of Liberty
Past." The economic historian Murray Rothbard wrote
extensively about colonial America, revealing scores of
events that have fallen down the public-school memory hole.
One such event is the Crown making a gift to William Penn of
what would later become Pennsylvania. The part of the story
that is not told is that it took Penn almost two decades to
successfully establish a government in Pennsylvania, because
the Quakers were not only not interested in political
government, but refused to consent to it, refused to
cooperate, and were otherwise incorrigible in their love for
Another event that has been largely forgotten, when it has
not been misrepresented, is Shays' Rebellion. The usual
story that is told is that farmers got themselves into debt,
declared war on the bankers, and were put down by state
troops with merely a dispassionate interest in "law and
order". Well, the usual story omits a very important
detail: the "debt" that the farmers accrued was in the form
of unpaid taxes to the state of Massachusetts to cover debts
the state itself had run up. The mercantile interests
behind the state government, who would have profited from
the taxes, raised the army that put down the rebellion, and
thereby kept the poor in servitude to the state-connected
These stories hint at the reasons why Thomas Jefferson said
a little rebellion now and then is a good thing. He didn't
mean post angry messages on Internet message boards. He
didn't mean go door to door and try to convince people of
the correctness of your political views. Nor did he mean to
provoke violent confrontation, as anger and frustration
tends to lead to. He meant intelligent, calculated
resistance to political power, together with your families,
neighbors, and friends.
Do you really want independence on this Independence Day?
Resolve to do like the Quakers did. Buy some fertile land
somewhere you wish to live, and as time goes by, buy even
more land from the surrounding areas. Sell plots within
your land to family and friends who share your beliefs.
When someone comes in from some faraway government
pretending to have the authority to order you around,
politely tell them to leave and not to return.
They are likely to return anyway — given that government
will have no other gods before it — but by owning a large
area of land settled with people who refuse their demands,
their attempts at controlling you will be like trying to
ride a bicycle through a bog. Your little enclave will be
successful at practical resistance where the single family
hiding out in a remote Idaho homestead would not be. A
thousand such enclaves would send Washington D.C. into
bankruptcy proceedings.
If you can't afford land, then find economic independence as
soon as you can. During the bailout votes, there was a lot
of talk about "Going Galt", which is to essentially stop
working in order to stop paying taxes. But, if you are
broke, the power elite will have their way with you, because
he who has the money makes the rules. You will not be able
to buy the land, tools, and other capital you need in order
to live an independent life.
My suggestion instead is to work hard AND pay no taxes.
There is a bustling community on Craigslist of people
buying, selling, and trading everything under the sun, with
no government regulations or taxes involved. Spend your
time when you are away from your corporate job in the
official economy learning to do something that is valuable
in the underground, unofficial economy. And if you have not
yet redeemed your Federal Reserve notes for gold and silver
coin, for heaven's sake, do so while you still can.
Maybe one day, we the people will have the power not only to
vote for a new crop of legislators, but to do as the kings
did when they would dissolve Parliament and send the whole
lot of scoundrels home for a year. Maybe we will one day
have the power to live our lives in our own style, following
our own moral code even when it is in opposition to the
moral code of government.
But until that day comes, declare independence in your head,
and get busy living the way you want to live. Nobody is
going to do it for you. Declare your independence!
Ryan C. Underwood

My friend Joan – @apackof2 on Twitter – loves her country.
You know, the America of the '57 Chevy, "See the USA in Your Chevrolet", Mom, baseball, and apple pie?
She heard the song "American Beauty" and knew it embodied the America of her memories, so she asked a volunteer to make a Tea Party video for her based on the song.
An excellent idea with excellent results:
Joan organized the Feb. 27th and April 15 Tea Parties in Lansing, MI at the State Capitol, and is currently working on an event for July 4.

MLS JD students get a taste of start-up law
JD students enrolled in the MLS elective subject Start-Up Law have been given a front-row seat to pitches from the Melbourne Accelerator Project (MAP) start-up finalists.
The recently-introduced elective subject Start-Up Law provides JD students with the skills to advise start-up companies on the legal issues they are likely to face in their formative years.
Taught by experienced commercial technology lawyer and start-up innovator Michael Pattison, Start-Up Law provided students a rare opportunity to apply their learning to real start-ups when finalists in the MAP program pitched their business ideas to the class in July.
MAP is a prestigious start-up accelerator and entrepreneurship program affiliated with the University of Melbourne. Each year the MAP Startup Accelerator funds a select group of start-ups and works with them to grow their businesses.
MLS JD students enrolled in Start-Up Law had the opportunity to hear the pitches from this year's finalists, ask questions, offer critiques and draw connections between their learning in the classroom and the real world.
As students now prepare for their final assessment in the subject, they do so having developed specialist practical skills in advising start-ups.

Compensate Activity in BPEL
This activity invokes compensation on an inner scope activity that has successfully completed. This activity can be invoked only from within a fault handler or another compensation handler. Compensation occurs when a process cannot complete several operations after completing others. The process must return and undo the previously completed operations. For example, assume a process is designed to book a rental car, a hotel, and a flight. The process books the car and the hotel, but cannot book a flight for the correct day. In this case, the process performs compensation by unbooking the car and the hotel.The compensation handler is invoked with the compensate activity, which names the scope on which the compensation handler is to be invoked.
Figure A-7 shows the Compensate dialog in BPEL 1.1. You can perform the following tasks:
· Click the General tab to provide the activity with a meaningful name.
· Select the scope activity on which the compensation handler is to be invoked.
In BPEL 2.0, the Compensate dialog does not include a Skip Condition tab.
This activity enables you to start compensation on a specified inner scope that has already completed successfully. This activity must only be used from within a fault handler, another compensation handler, or a termination handler.
Note: This activity is only supported in BPEL 2.0 projects.

Dorothy Collard Challenge 2015
Look what I won! A ribbon!!
I entered the Dorothy Collard Challenge last month. This is a competition run every year by the Auckland Quilt Guild. The theme this year was "my impression of a book written by a New Zealand author". I chose "Tu" by Patricia Grace.
If you would like to see the exhibition and you live in or near Auckland, it is on at the Lake House arts centre in Takapuna until the 3rd May.
I'll write more about this quilt at a later date and hopefully show you some detail shots. Meanwhile, I'm just thrilled to have won my first ribbon!

The success of craft beer has inspired new local ventures into cider and even sake in the past year, but it's a third beer alternative that is suddenly exploding in San Diego: mead.
Oceanside's award-winning Golden Coast Mead has been laying the groundwork for a San Diego–style mead since 2010. However, at this time last year, it remained the only meadery in the county. By the summer, there will be eight of them.
In July, Meadocrity Mead started distributing kegs and bottles of mead produced in "custom crushes," the winemaker's term for contract brewing (mead-makers operate on a winemaking license). Its first release, a carbonated, 12% ABV mead dubbed Foundation, may be found in select restaurants and shops, including Trader Joe's. Mediocrity is joining the cooperative of urban wineries at 298 Enterprise Street in Escondido.
Whereas the grains and hops fueling craft beer rely on out-of-state agriculture, the key ingredient in mead is produced locally. Each of the meaderies use locally cultivated honey, usually from Ramona or Temecula Valley. The four partners behind Meadiocrity go so far as to raise their own bee hives. As cofounder Mark Oberle says, "The honey always speaks for itself."
Bronto Brew
9235 Trade Place, Suite D, Miramar
July also saw the opening of Bronto Brew, which operates a meadery and tasting room in Miramar. The family-owned enterprise spearheaded by Daniel Gwilt calls mead "the evolutionary beverage" and works off a dinosaur theme. Hence, early offerings include the sweet, sparkling Pure Bronto and drier, fruited Strawbosaurus Rex, each hovering around 12% ABV. In the works are dry-hopped and coffee meads.
Twisted Horn Mead & Cider
1042 La Mirada Court, Vista
In December, Twisted Horn Mead & Cider opened in Vista. Meadmaker Vince Obarski focuses on carbonated hydromels, or "session meads" — each around 7% ABV. Twisted Horn offers a growing range of meads and melomels (aka fruited meads), exploring the flavors of honeys derived from the nectar of plants, including wildflower, star thistle, and orange blossoms.
Next up, Ramona's Mysterious Mead Company will finally begin bottling in February, two and a half years after receiving its ABC license. Founder Jim Allison has been kept out of town working a construction project but has brewed a 15% strawberry-blackberry-raspberry blend for his first release. No tasting room planned, but Allison has his eyes on a pair of 10% meads for the spring: Meyer lemon, and strawberry-lime.
Raging Cider & Mead Co.
177 Newport Drive, Suite B, San Marcos
In San Marcos, David Carr has started the application process for Raging Cider & Mead Co.. While Carr says cider will be the primary focus, he'll apply 28 years of homebrewing experience to fruited meads when he opens in May.
Serpentine Cider
8665 Miralani Drive #100, Miramar
Since cider also requires a winemaking license, mead and cider under the same roof will be a common sight. In the case of Lost Cause Meadery, it will share the brewing space and tasting room of incoming Serpentine Cider in Miramar.
Lost Cause founder Billy Beltz has won a number of mead homebrewing awards and notes that San Diego mead-makers have already started building off the foundation laid by Golden Coast's Frank Golbeck. "Kind of like the craft-beer scene," Beltz says, "everybody's working together instead of against each other."
"It's a great time to be a mead-maker in San Diego," adds Chris Roach, who's launched a crowd-funding campaign to support his Hidden Hive Meadery. He aims to bottle custom crushes this summer and hopes to open his own brewery in 2018.

Dialectical materialism appears to go all the way to the "bare metal" of reality: motion is a synthesis of quanta's dialectically opposed material properties of being "smeared in a wavefunction" and "observed as an eigenstate", but quantum mechanics is weird and obscure. Evolution is much more amenable to philosophical study.
The fundamental dialectic of evolution is the opposition of heritable variation and natural selection. Both of these dialectical elements are material: heritable variation is a physical, material, independently observable change in an organism's genotype, an eminently material substance (composed mostly of DNA). Natural selection is also a material process: physical properties of an organism's physical phenotype determine whether it will run faster or slower, have more or less acute vision and hearing, stronger or weaker teeth, etc. Furthermore, an individual organism's reproductive success is directly a material property: The organism has to physically reproduce to be reproductively successful.
Because heritable variation is uncorrelated with natural selection, these two elements are in true dialectical contradiction*. Heritable variation doesn't "care" whether it makes the organism more or less susceptible to adverse selection; selection doesn't "care" whether some heritable variation might be intrinsically good. (For example, it's intrinsically bad that human beings can't internally synthesize vitamin C — whether or not we can eat it, it would be better if we could synthesize it at need — but because our ancestors' diet was abundant in vitamin C, the loss of the ability wasn't selected against.)
There are also important dialectical relationships in biological evolution at more abstract levels. A fundamental dialectic is between predator and prey. Again, the elements are material: the predator must physically catch and eat the prey, or the prey must physically escape the predator. And the elements are in true dialectical contradiction: the predator wants to eat the prey, the prey does not want to be eaten. Yet another is the parasite-host dialectic, which often results in symbiosis.
An important consequence of evolution is that it's neither predictable nor random. In my most important quibble with canonical communist terminology, I assert that dialectical relationships and historical factors do not determine the synthesis, they constrain it. There are specific features, for example, that would make predators ineffective: lack of speed, poor vision, poor quality weapons (such as teeth and claws); we will never see a predator with a predominance of features that poorly afford predation in its usual environment. We can predict to some extent where evolution won't go, but we cannot predict where evolution will go, even retrospectively. If we took a snapshot of any historical evolutionary epoch, we could not predict with confidence much of how the contemporaneous species would change.
Indeed the parallels between dialectical materialism and biological evolution are so strong that the following bold conjecture suggests itself: all dialectical material relationships are fundamentally evolutionary: they consist of a dialectical relationship between some form of heritable variation uncorrelated with some form natural selection.

Dear Rachel,
I'm married for quite a number of years now, and I guess you could consider our marriage pretty good. We have our ups and downs, arguments and romance, but the main thing is we work at it constantly and discuss every issue that comes up or that bothers either of us – even the issue I am writing to you about.
I'm not sure whether my problem stems from my shaky self-esteem or my extreme sensitivity or maybe both, but it is definitely putting a strain on our relationship and on my sanity to some degree.
In a nutshell, I feel very hurt and rejected whenever my husband looks at or talks to any other woman (even my sisters), especially if she is attractive and pretty. By nature a people pleaser, I've always tried to fulfill my husband's needs on an intimate level. But truthfully there's another reason: I realize that as pretty as I am I can never be the most beautiful, thin and attractive woman and am gripped with fear that my husband would choose another woman over me.
My husband is puzzled (and offended) by my irrational fears. Cognitively I know how silly they are, but emotionally I feel hurt and rejected every time my husband even looks (or if I think he looked) at any other attractive woman. He constantly reassures me of his love, but it is hard for me to internalize and believe him.
I hate going to my parents for the holidays because my very pretty sisters will be there too.
Whenever we go to any family gathering I am constantly stressed out and looking around to see which other woman looks better than I do. I can hardly enjoy myself when we eat out or even take a walk together. I know he won't be disloyal to me (at least I hope he won't), but my desire is that he consider me the most beautiful and that he not look or talk to another woman. (As I write this, I'm embarrassed at how immature and irrational this sounds.)
I get upset and moody in these situations, and my husband understandably likes me happy and upbeat. So you see why this puts a strain on our relationship and why I feel my sanity is at stake. (Another side issue: my level of tzniut has fallen tremendously as a result.)
Basically, I am writing to you because I can't stand being like this. I just want to be normal
You will probably refer me to a therapist, but there is no way I can afford that now. Maybe you can advise me or refer some self-help books, but mostly – is there anybody else in the world that has issues like this? Does this "disease" have a name, or am I the only one?
I appreciate your taking the time to read this and am hoping for a response.
Thank you.
Losing it
Dear Losing It,
Without knowing you personally, there is little for me to go on regarding why you suffer such a severe lack of self-confidence. Your growing years, your upbringing, is likely to offer some clue as to the source of your insecurities and discontent.
The reference to your "very pretty sisters" gives one the sense that comparisons were made between you and your sibs early on, thus fostering a jealousy that steadily eroded your self-esteem.
Or, perhaps you were privy to a relationship that soured when a fickle spouse abandoned his partner for someone seemingly more attractive.
Ideally, it would take one-on-one in-depth counseling to get to the bottom of your ills. I can only offer you some practical advice, with the hope that you will take the words to heart and seriously work on yourself to alter your mindset.
Presumably, when you and your husband courted, the chemistry between you ignited a mutual attraction before you agreed to commit to one another. I take it that no one held a gun to his head to force him to marry you. The fact is that Hashem created zivugim and instilled in us a special chein for one another. This unique appeal, coupled with the laws that govern the Jewish marriage, make for a solid, lasting and binding relationship.
Your "side issue" is most disturbing. If I read you correctly, you feel the need to "expose" yourself in order to garner attention. How sad and counter-productive to flaunt your "wares" to the public, to appear as though you have something to sell! You should be reserving your physical prowess for the privacy of your bedroom, for that special man in your life – a privilege accorded you by the rite of marriage.
Two books that may enlighten you as to the function and meaning of a true aishes chayil: Beyond Pearls and Merchant Ships: Finding the Woman of Valor, by Rivka Zakutinsky, and From Sarah to Sarah, by S. Feldbrand.
I would be remiss if I failed to caution you, woman to woman, to calm down. Your self-dignity – and much more – is at stake. If you persist in "accusing" your husband of having a roving eye, he will eventually tire of assuring you of his loyalty and trustworthiness. Furthermore, by constantly conveying the message that you don't trust him, you are placing yourself in a precarious position: One day he may just get around to feeling that he has nothing to lose… and you will find yourself on the losing end.
External beauty is superficial. (You don't really believe that your husband married you solely for your looks, do you?) In a meaningful relationship it is one's inner qualities that stand out – as any man worth his mettle will attest to. Keep yourself well groomed, be devoted, attentive and loving to your spouse without hanging onto him for dear life, and start focusing on your blessings.
Confidential to Chedva: "Happiness" is your name; make it your claim to fame – today and forever. Happy Birthday!

Best hotels in South Padre Island
South Padre Island IntroductionSun-kissed South Padre Island, or SPI, enjoys the unique distinction of being part of the largest island in Texas. This sparkling white sand barrier on the Gulf of Mexico is a popular year-round vacation hotspot thanks to its reliable climate, abundant natural beauty, and wealth of attractions. You can party the night away in friendly clubs, enjoy thrilling water sports, wander hand in hand along the moonlit beach, chill out with friends, or catch up with family—even get married! Bathe in crystal waters, watch migrating birds and graceful sea turtles, or just lie back and let the warm Texan hospitality soothe away your cares.
Hotels in South Padre IslandProven demand means that hotels in South Padre Island keep busy all year round. The spring break and summer school vacation are traditionally the most popular months, so you're less likely to find the cheapest rates at these times. Look for South Padre Island hotel deals in January/February and late autumn and benefit from uncrowded beaches. Most resorts offer free unlimited use of leisure facilities, so you can enjoy the ocean views from the comfort of a heated pool. For a budget-friendly family break, hire a self-catering condo and enjoy shopping for bargains in the local food marts.
Where to stayHotels in South Padre Island are never far from the shore, but which end of the island you choose depends on your personal preference. The northern end of the barrier is the quieter part, leading to the pristine beach of Andy Bowie County Park and scenic Ocean Boulevard. The center of the strip offers a wide range of condos, motels, and inns by favorite national brands, which offer the same spectacular views as their more upscale neighbors. Alternatively, book into a family-friendly resort on the southern shoreline and be close to the popular Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark and the attractions of downtown.
Things to seeUnless you're a sea turtle, most visitors' first dramatic glimpse of South Padre Island comes from the journey along the 2.5-long Queen Isabella Causeway—a local landmark in its own right. From here you can enjoy spectacular views across the Laguna Madre to SPI town and the protected wildlife haven of Boca Chica State Park. Learn about the migrating birds that benefit from this unique habitat at South Padre Island Birding & Nature Center. Boardwalks, spotting towers, and an exhibit hall guide you through the basics of bird watching. Isla Blanca County Park offers a variety of beach activities, from surf fishing to snorkeling. Take a dolphin cruise, hire a jet ski, or enjoy a stroll around the lively marina. The nearby University of Texas–Pan American Coastal Studies Laboratory is open for self-guided tours, while Sea Turtle Inc. offers the chance to see rescued turtles and learn about the conservation work of this pioneering organization.
How to get to South Padre IslandBrownsville South Padre Island International Airport is around 30 miles southwest of SPI on State Highway 48. Flights land here from Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth, with a convenient free shuttle service to South Padre Island taking around 1 hour 30 minutes or less. Many South Padre Island hotels and resorts run their own free shuttles for guests, so check arrangements before you leave. You can also hire a cab or rent a car from the terminal. Once you arrive on the island, hire a bike and enjoy the freedom to explore this beautiful coastline at your own pace.

Making A Difference In The Nation's Capital Through Prayer And Action
We believe that narrowly targeting our efforts is the most effective way to carry out our mission—to challenge our nation's leaders with biblical truth. We are, therefore, focused on "challenging" 2,604 specific individuals across the three branches of government.
First, we aim to minister to the 54 individuals in the federal judicial branch—the Justices of the Supreme Court, their clerks, and assistants.
Second, we reach out to over 50 individuals in the executive branch, including the President and Vice President as well as their staff and closest advisors. We also reach out to the various departments of the executive branch, including Justice, State, and Defense.
Third, we strive to minister to over 2,500 individuals in Congress—Senators and Congressmen as well as their staff and their closest advisors.
Much of our ministry work is conducted behind-the-scenes due to the positions held by those to whom we minister. We are very effective in this type of ministry, but we also have three major programs that constitute our main public ministry each year: Operation Nativity – Live Nativity, the U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon, and Day-Break Prayer at the U.S. Supreme Court. These often serve as conversation-starters and network-builders to further our private ministry.
We recognize the uniqueness of our ministry field, and we daily thank God for the ministry relationships He's given us with elected and appointed officials at the very highest levels of government. It is not without great expense, both in terms of the financial costs (Washington, DC, is expensive) and the physical toll it takes on our staff. But our team is committed to our calling and works tirelessly to advance the Gospel on Capitol Hill.
We also use the media, the internet, and the pulpit to disseminate our message. Faith & Liberty believes in and works hard to build strong alliances with like-minded individuals, groups, religious communities, churches, and institutions.
While Faith & Liberty may comment on a particular public policy initiative, legislative proposal, or nomination, we do not regularly engage in lobbying and we never endorse candidates for public office. Faith & Liberty is also non-partisan and treats all people equally, regardless of their political affiliation. We are a non-profit, religious/charitable corporation with an exclusively religious mission. Our programs place a strong emphasis on the public acknowledgement of God, the importance of prayer, evangelization, pastoral care, Christian instruction, and respect for the sanctity and dignity of life, marriage and the family, and religious freedom.
Ten Commandments Project
The Ten Commandments Project is an ongoing operation of Faith & Liberty. Faith & Liberty's motto is "bringing the word of God to bear on the hearts and minds of those who make public policy in America." One of its goals is to "restore the moral foundations of our American culture" through placing Ten Commandments displays in public buildings.
Created in 1995, Faith & Liberty's Ten Commandments Project has given over 400 plaques depicting the Ten Commandments to members of Congress and other highly placed officials, including former presidents Clinton and Bush. Special delegations made up of clergy and lay people make the presentations during ceremonies held in the recipients' offices. The agenda includes a short speech describing religion as the foundational basis of morality and law, a reading of the Commandments in their entirety, and prayers. The official is then given an inscribed wooden plaque on which is mounted two stone polymer tablets containing a summary of the Ten Commandments. Recipients are urged to "display and obey" the Ten Commandments.
The Honorable William Ostrowski House...
The organization itself is headquartered in the Honorable William J. Ostrowski House, named for the retired New York State Supreme Court judge and long-time supporter of the ministry in DC. The 19th Century Victorian Row House sits directly across from East Façade of the U.S. Supreme Court building at 109 2nd Street, NE. A notable feature of the ministry office is a granite sculpture depicting the Ten Commandments displayed in the building's front garden.
It's all about location, location, location . . .
So much of the ministry we do in Washington is based on proximity – being physically close to the action as it happens. Just like a church needs to be near the community it seeks to reach with the Gospel, we need to be near those we seek to reach with the truth of God's Word. Most top-level officials in our federal government are within an easy walk of our front door–not to mention the hundreds of thousands of employees that assist these officials.

Excellent user interface. Easy "direct click" navigation. Bright, sharp screen. Comes with Flash games. Has both FM radio/recorder and voice recorder. Good sound quality.
Terrible earbuds. Volume controls seem to operate backward. Can't use while charging or loading.
Bottom Line
The second clix from iriver is a feature-packed, beautifully designed flash player that comes in all the capacities the Apple iPod nano does (2GB, 4GB, and 8GB). If you're not married to iTunes, the clix is a great little player that looks pretty darn cool, too.
The latest iriver clix, the gen 2 (using a naming convention borrowed from Apple's iPods), offers tons of features in a great design. Using flash memory like the nano, it comes in varying capacities (2GB, 4GB, and 8GB; our test unit was 4GB), priced in $50 increments and starting at $149.99 direct. Using the excellent click-screen interface from the previous clix (no scroll wheel-like controls here; iriver actually decided to innovate instead of copy), the newest clix is slimmer than its predecessor. Its active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) screen is slightly smaller than the displays on the iPod's 30 and 80GB 5th gen models, but has the same resolutionwhich makes for a sharper (albeit more compact) picture. And because it's AMOLED, the screen draws less power from the battery. The user interface is pretty intuitive too, and the graphics are cool (one background looks like vintage wallpaper). Also, did I mention the player sounds great after you upgrade the lousy included earbuds? If you're not tied to iTunes, the clix is an excellent choice that has plenty of extras, such as an FM tuner and video viewing.
Similar Products
With a black, polished, minimalist design, the Clix is easy on the eyes. The main screen is surrounded by plastic edges that can be clicked in four different areas for menu navigation and playback control, but the click functions do not resemble buttons. On the bottom of the player is the all-important Hold button. You'll need this control because it's really easy to click on one of the "direct click" buttons accidentally and, say, skip a song by accident. The top left side has two volume buttons. Though the left one is up and the right is down, onscreen, the controls seem to move in the opposite direction, which repeatedly had me raising the level when I meant to lower it. A microphone sits on the top of the player, with the power button and a Smart Key (assignable to several different functions, but defaulted to Return to Main Menu) resting on the right side, next to the USB port. A reset button and headphone jack occupy the left side. One nice design note: The buttons appear unlabeled at first, but if you flip the player over, there are clear labels for everything on the back panel. From the front, however, the clix appears to be a logo-less, label-less playerpretty cool.
Iriver includes some really crappy earbuds, among the worst I've ever tested. To be fair, most players' default earbuds are pretty bad. Still, you'll definitely want to replace these. Also in the box are a USB 2.0 cable, manual, installation CD, and a carrying case with a screen cleaner. Annoyingly, the clix comes preloaded with content. Unless iriver has nailed your tastes, all this does is leave a mess for you to clean up once you connect your player to your computer. The clix cannot be used while loading or recharging. This is usually the case, but ever since Sansa's Connect proved that it doesn't have to be, I've been counting it as a negative for every player that doesn't include this useful function.
Aside from the aforementioned annoyance with the volume controls, navigating the clix's interface is a joy. Left and right clicks take you deeper into or out of a menu, while up and down select options on each subsequent page. It was easy to change my background display from cool vintage wallpaper to psychedelic butterflies or a strange rainbow, and it's also possible to use a photo of your own for the background.
For photos, the clix accepted only the JPEG files from my test suite. For audio, it handled unprotected MP3, Audible, WMA (unprotected and DRM), and OGG files, and for video, WMV and MPEG-4 (though it stumbled on one of my WMV files). And yes, it plays the new DRM-free iTunes plus AAC files. Though it loaded my WMV HD files, it was unable to play them, but at least you can store them. The player's installation CD includes a video converter too, so you should be able to watch most of your favorite clips with a little effort.
The 4GB player is branded to work primarily with the Urge music service, but you can just as easily use it with Napster or Yahoo! Music Jukebox, and loading via WMP is a snap.
Starting on June 25, the 8GB version will come Rhapsody-optimized, meaning it will include Rhapsody DNA that automatically refreshes the player with personalized music selections, playlists, and channels every time the clix is synched with Rhapsody. It will include automatic updates for licenses, album art and information every 30 days. The 8GB models sold before then will be able to add the Rhapsody firmware update.
The clix supports gapless playback, and standard play modes such as Shuffle and Repeat can be selected in the Now Playing screen by holding down the right click button. There's a customizable five-band EQ and SRS WOW sound processing, but I prefer to leave just about all of these options off, including "Tru Bass" and "Definition." Good earphones, such as the Shure SE210s, will solve any aural issues you might think you have with the clix. The player also boasts a Fade-In feature to protect your ears when you power up the unit and it unpausesif you were listening at a high volume, it'll gradually raise it instead of assaulting your eardrums. The interface manages to display plenty of information on the Now Playing screen without getting cluttered, including star ratings you can apply to every track. And yes, this player pauses and resumes at the same spot when you turn it off and on again.
With the clix, scrolling through photos and selecting videos to watch is a snap. The 2.2-inch QVGA AMOLED screen, as I mentioned earlier, is bright but a bit small. Everything looks crisp and colorful. I feel that the screen's excellent performance and integration into the design is one of the player's major selling points. Watching videos on it is a pure joyyet another way it outperforms the video-less (yet equally priced) nano.
The FM tuner moves slowly until you establish presets, but then, station skipping is quick. Recording a station is easy. You just hold down both clickable sides of the screen until a Record screen comes up. The recorded files appear on the same menu as the recording option. It's rare to praise a microphone in a player like this, but the voice recorder's mic has high gain, so it picks up your voice from a significant distance. It also, however, picks up the sound of the click when you switch the recording off.
There are some flash games with goofy graphics included (Barn Baron and Logjammer are a couple), but I was all thumbs and only succeeded when I opted to play the fast-paced, action-packed game of Sudoku. The clix has a rated battery life of 24 hours for music and 5 hours of continuous video play. Our battery rundown test yielded results, however, of 16 hours and 45 minutesnot bad, but nothing to cheer about.
In a nutshell, I was impressed with the iriver clix gen 2's ease of use, extra features, and good looks. If you get a better pair of earphones and aren't a shuffle mode addict, it's a formidable, feature-packed alternative to the ubiquitous iPod nano. The two players have the same price for equivalent capacities, so the real question is whether you're married to iTunes. If you're not, the clix simply does more for the same pricean excellent value.
Compare the MP3 players mentioned above side by side.
iriver offers a one-year warranty on the clix. For product support, go to the clix product page.

|View of Bodrum from the Crusader Castle (Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum)
Bodrum is a peninsula lined with quaint bays on the coast of Turkey's Aegean shore. In the 1970s when people from the big cities like Istanbul or Ankara started to come here for summer vacations, they used to come to the center or the immediate periphery of Bodrum but these days people prefer the different bays like Yalikavak, Turgutreis, Gumusluk or Torba. However, the city center, which lacks decent beaches, is still a great place for shopping and entertainment.
|The iconic windmills are decorated with the colors of the landscape
It would take probably about 15 minutes to get to the castle from the bus depot but I took my time, looking at souvenir shops, talking to the locals and taking lots of pictures. Even if you don't buy anything, the shops are so colorful and fun that it becomes a very enjoyable way to pass the time.
|The vine-covered walkway in the shopping arcades provide a cool respite from the summer heat
|The view from a mosque courtyard
There are several stalls that are situated along the walkway outside the walls of the castle. When I visited last year, I was in a hurry to get to the museum, so I couldn't stop and look at any of them. There was a glassblower who made the prettiest beads right there. I was happy to see that he was still there.

- Decent jobs, and a welfare state to be proud of
- Thriving local business
- A living wage
No alternative?
This Tories would have you believe their brutal slash and burn approach to the economy is the only way. That there is no alternative.
The money can be found to replace Trident but not to keep our libraries open. It can be found to speed the wealthy between London and Birmingham, but not for the rural buses that people who don't drive depend upon
They've inflicted seven hard years of austerity on the British people: cutting vital services, forcing up household costs, eroding workers' rights and delaying the economic recovery.
They've made a mockery of their own pledge to be the 'greenest government ever'. Instead of investing in local jobs, resilient local economies or environment friendly technologies, they chose to back fracking.
Rather than protecting us against another financial crisis, they've bottled it on reform of the banking sector and have helped to fuel the kind of housing bubble that led to the crash in the first place.
While they close libraries and sell of school playing fields, they blow billions on Trident and the HS2 rail link.
"We're putting forward a real alternative. The alternative to austerity. The alternative to zero hours contracts. The alternative to Trident. The alternative to a rail system that allows private shareholders to profit while passengers pay some of the highest fares in Europe"
Caroline Lucas, MP
We don't feel we are being particularly radical when we say: there is another way.
In Parliament Caroline has been a longstanding opponent of austerity, and an advocate for a different kind of economy.
She believes that everyone should have access to well paid work as well as time off to do the things they love. She's pushing for a transformation of the welfare state to ensure everyone is protected, and she's pushing for a transition to a zero carbon economy.
