More Blackjack Coming for Online Players
Only poker rivals blackjack when it comes to popularity among card games, and it has the lowest house advantage of any casino game.
And blackjack is growing at a fast pace, as the online gambling industry continues growing as well. Over the next four years, online gambling should grow by more than 10 percent each year, according to gaming industry experts. That's the same pace of growth since 2013.
With those new online casinos comes more blackjack tables and video games for bettors to try. That includes many different varieties of blackjack, including the traditional game, 21, Atlantic City blackjack, and many others.
With more blackjack games and tables at more online casinos, there will be many new opportunities for skilled players and bettors to win money playing their favorite casino card game.
But for the fact the dealer goes second and does not lose on ties, there would be no house advantage at all in blackjack. The advantage for the house is only a half percent, and skilled bettors can reduce it to nearly nothing — or create a player advantage via card counting.
Card counting, though, is controversial. It is legal, but no casino will accept a player it thinks is counting cards or otherwise is an "advantage" player. All casinos have the right to trespass players for any reason, and all of them will if they think someone is an advantage player — no matter what the game might be.
Players still can practice, though, to prepare for live money games at the many new blackjack tables at virtual casinos. Free websites like MuchGames enable players to learn more about blackjack and practice the game without risking money.
Informational guides and articles, plus free online casino games that do not pay back money, enable players to hone their skills without risking cash. Once their games have improved, they can visit their favorite online casinos or try a new one and take a chance on winning a lot of cash.
With MuchGames and similar resources, blackjack players also can find the online casinos that offer the best bonuses for new and returning players. With bonuses, bettors can play online casino games, like blackjack, without risking any cash and win real money.
Some casinos might also offer deposit multipliers, which usually will at least double any deposit made by bettors, up to a specified limit. Whether using all house money or some of it, the house advantage is wiped out when the casino puts up cash for your next blackjack game.
Tips for Beating the Odds When Playing Blackjack
Is Blackjack really just a complete game of chance? Many gamblers would argue that there are in fact ways to maximise your chance of winning at this game – read on to find out what they are.
Choose the right game to start off with
It is worthwhile being aware that different versions of Blackjack will have different odds. Opting to play the version with the lowest house edge will increase your chances of winning. Blackjack Switch has the lowest house edge (0.17%) – which can be compared unfavourably to other forms of Blackjack such as Double Attack Blackjack (which has a house edge of 0.47%).
Keep a Blackjack strategy card to hand
These little cards are so simple to use and they can be absolutely indispensable. They tell you which is the best action to take depending on which card the dealer has currently got face up. This method is particularly recommended for beginners: simply following the strategy card by rote will give you the biggest chance of winning.
Card counting
This method is used not just in online casinos but also in 'real' (i.e. brick and mortar) casinos). It involves keeping track of which cards have been revealed so far in the game and thus (by process of elimination) working out which cards are yet to be revealed. This can give you an idea of which cards the dealer, and the other players, are concealing. If card counting seems complex, one way to simplify it is using the High/Low method. I.e. when a card is revealed, keep track of how many cards higher than it are left to be revealed, and how many cards that are lower than it are yet to be revealed.
Do not put all of your eggs in one basket
It is crucial to have a variety of odds-beating methods in play at once. If you want to beat the odds, then do not just rely on one of the methods outlined above. For example, if you are using a Blackjack strategy card and it suggests that you Stand, but the card counting method suggests that you have a better chance of going for a Hit, then it is worth stopping to consider which of these options is the best. In short, master a few odds-beating methods and keep them all in your mind at the same time as you play on an online casino.
Is this cheating?
None of the methods listed above are cheating. You are simply using logic and strategy to get more enjoyment from the game of Blackjack. It is hard to cheat on online casinos using 'traditional' cheating methods, in all events. In bricks and mortar casinos, for instance, cheating players would try and glimpse the cards as the dealer shuffled them so that they could get some insights into which cards were laid face down on the table. In an online casino, this is impossible to do.

The Google Earth User Interface is controlled by a mysterious cabal directed by the Vatican. Whoops, check that - Da Vinci Code marketing cross-talk. The Google Earth User Interface is really controlled by a simple, easy-to-read, easy-to-modify XML file. This means it's easy to show, hide, or modify elements of the user interface. Here's an example.
Observe the floating navigation panel with more room for the Earth in Google Earth. The navigation panel can also be hidden, or dragged to a different screen. Convenient.
This change is simple to make by editing the Google Earth "kvw" (Keyhole View?) file. On my system, this is found at C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\kvw\default_lt.kvw. This is a simple text file. Open the file in a text editor and find the Navigation Panel windowStack. Change the location attribute to "float" as you see below.
Make a backup before you start making changes. More extreme changes are not kosher, resulting in Google Earth failing to start. Restoring the kvw file from backup will fix the problem.
[Added]OgleEarth provides directions on using this hack on Mac OS X.
For the Mac, right-click on the Google Earth application (when it is not running), select "Show package contents", then navigate on over to:
/Applications/Google Earth.app/Contents/MacOS/kvw/default_lt.kvw
Open it in a text editor and apply Juice Analytics' hack.Â
Incidentally, the Google Earth map you see above is graphing hurricane paths of the last 5 years with color coded intensities using a Python KML library. Just trying to keep up with the Joneses (the Joneses, in this case, being the Timoney group with their excellent start to Google Earth based analytics).

As the tour travelled through the country the band met various artists, architects, animators and musicians, finding out about the alternative creative culture and celebrating all they have to offer.

Gainesville is primarily known for being home to the University of Florida. Saturdays in the fall months revolve around Florida Gator college football, and the winter and spring months are spent following Florida Gatorbasketball.
Supporters of the Florida Gator athletic programs are known for traveling from all over the country to support the teams, but for residents of the Villages of Citrus Hills, it is only a little over an hour away.
However, even if sports are not your thing, there is still plenty of excitement to be found in the fantastic college town of Gainesville.
In addition to being the gathering place for Gator fans, alumni, and students, Gainesville is also home to a number of great nature attractions, lots of cultural events, and an outstanding selection of shopping and dining options.
Florida Gator Football
The Florida Gator football team plays their home games on campus at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, which is affectionately referred to as "The Swamp." The stadium has an official seating capacity of 88,548, but attendance on game days is often over 90,000, and that's not counting all of the people who come into town to watch the game at local bars and restaurants!
If you are interested in attending a Florida Gators football game at The Swamp, you can usually find tickets available through Ticketmaster or their resale program. For parking, all of the lots around the stadium generally open at 8:00 am on game days, but they fill up fast with tailgaters! You will also see that quite a few local residents charge for parking in their yard.
If you feel more comfortable watching the game from a local sports bar, Gator City Sports Grill, Gator Tales, Gator's Dockside, and BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse are all located nearby and will all be filled with Gator fans on game day.
Gainesville Nature and History
One of the most popular attractions in all of Gainesville is the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens. This 62-acre facility contains 24 different major collections of some of the most beautiful gardens you will ever see. From palm trees to bamboo, there is a wide selection of different types of plants throughout the gardens, and even the rock garden is done in impressive fashion!
Another must-see attraction in Gainesville is the Florida Museum of Natural History. In addition to the standard historical exhibits you would expect to find in any great museum of natural history, this museum contains the Butterfly Rainforest exhibit that features more than 1,500 differing butterflies! They also have exhibits that specialize in studying shark attacks around the world, as well as ancient shell mounds along the west coast of Florida.
Dining in Gainesville
If you are looking for a casual place to grab a bite to eat around Gainesville, three places you will definitely want to check out are La Tienda Latina, Adams Rib Co., and Leonardo's Pizza By The Slice.
La Tienda Latina is well known for their authentic tacos and fantastic salsa, and it is a common occurrence for visitors who eat lunch here to find themselves coming back again for dinner.
In similar fashion, Adams Rib Co. is known for their outstanding pulled pork and ribs, but the big selling point here is their incredible selection of BBQ sauces. This is also a great place to pig out (pun intended) during a football or basketball game because there are TVs everywhere!
Just want to grab a quick slice of pizza? You can't go wrong with Leonardo's. This Gainesville classic serves up thick slices of pizza, and they're located just down the street from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, across the street from campus.
If you are looking to enjoy a more formal dinner, Embers Wood Grill is the one place you absolutely have to try. This elegant white-tablecloth restaurant is known for its mouth-watering steak and seafood options, as well as its tremendous wine selection. They are also known for the first-class service delivered by their professional waitstaff.
Much like any college town, Gainesville has a certain feel of optimism in the air. Regardless of whether you are in town for the big game, to check out the museum, or just for a great meal, you almost can't help finding yourself walking around campus or downtown and enjoying the college town atmosphere.
And if you feel like a bit of shopping Gainesville has The Oaks Mall, Butler Plaza and Union Street Station to name just a few. There is also a Trader Joe's for a unique grocery shopping experience.

Tulsa Etsy Craft Party
This past Friday me and some of my gal pals had a girl's night out and went to the Tulsa Etsy Craft Party held at MADE: The Indie Emporium Shop. Before we headed to the craft party, I introduce my friends to Elote's and their puffy tacos. Let's say, I may have just won the best gal pal award. They have the best puffy tacos around and their queso is so good!
At the craft party, we embroidered photos, made photo coasters, and even learned to create a fun photo holder from clay.We ended our night at Mod's for a round of gelato, crepes, and downtown people watching. Spending time with these gals was the best and so good for the soul. Did your town host a Etsy craft party too? I would love to hear about it!

It's no secret that Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) shares are underperforming recently. On Jan. 16, the company announced that net profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 rose 6.4% to $2.63 billion The company's revenue also increased 2.6%, reaching $13.83 billion. The market reaction? Shares dropped more than 4% premarket.
Notice that despite the moderate improvement in the top line, from an earnings-per-share perspective the company missed the consensus. This was due to a 1% higher provision for income.
However, although Intel missed earnings per share guidance by a penny, it also managed to increase its operating income 12% year-over-year, and keep revenue from its troubled PC client group flat, at $8.6 billion. These are outstanding achievements for a company facing fierce competition from ARM Holdings and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) in the mobile and server segments. But why did the market punish Intel despite top-line improvement?
The curse of high expectations
To be fair, Intel had positive results. For the first time in several quarters, Intel saw its PC business sales remain flat on a year-over-year basis. Even in terms of profitability, gross margin came ahead of expectations by one percentage point.
However, Intel's results were clearly not enough to satisfy investors' high expectations. This is because the Street is aware of the recent general recovery in the PC industry, and was expecting Intel to do something more than just keeping PC sales flat. Instead, it seems it will be Intel's third year in a row with no annual revenue growth.
The PC market may have finally hit bottom
As Quartz contributor Christopher Mims notes, Intel's latest earnings call is a confirmation that the hard times for the PC market may be over.
The world's largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSM), recently reported a big batch of orders from PC chip clients for delivery in the second half of 2014, indicating a rebound in PC sales at the consumer level is in the making, as it takes at least one quarter to manufacture notebooks.
These results are consistent with a note published a few weeks ago by Citi, which upgraded Intel based on the improvement and stabilization of PC demand.
Searching for meaningful growth
The recovery of the PC industry is good news for a company like Intel, which holds roughly four fifths' share in the microprocessor market, according to Morningstar. However, the stabilization of global PC demand may not be enough for Intel to deliver sustainable revenue growth.
The company needs to start generating meaningful revenue from segments with better future growth prospects, such as mobile chips. There's plenty of evidence suggesting that ARM-based tablets are cannibalizing PC sales. And although they may never completely replace the concept of PC, mobile devices -- from tablets to Internet of things' gadgets -- are set to dominate the future of consumer computing.
To achieve meaningful growth, Intel needs to increase its market share in the mobile semiconductor space, as soon as possible. This space is currently dominated by ARM, which uses a business model based on selling its intellectual property, rather than directly manufacturing chips. This allows ARM to leverage a fixed initial investment into a sustainable cash flow stream.
To become competitive in this field, Intel needs a sound technological and business strategy. In terms of technology, Intel needs to manufacture chips highly optimized for mobile. In other words, it needs to reduce the power consumption needs of its x86 architecture as much as possible. The company's Atom processors are a good attempt to increase power efficiency, but there's still a technological gap between ARM and Intel when it comes to mobile.
From a business perspective, Intel needs an aggressive pricing strategy for its mobile chips. This is because there are already plenty of mobile devices based on ARM technology. Manufacturers need a big incentive to change their hardware specification.
Final Foolish takeaway
Intel's latest earnings were a mixed bag. The results are consistent with the rumors that global PC demand may be stabilizing, benefiting Intel and Taiwan Semiconductors, among other companies with high PC exposure. However, the recovery of the PC industry won't be enough for Intel -- a company with $53 billion in annual revenue -- to generate attractive growth. With or without PC recovery, Intel needs mobile to achieve meaningful growth.

Helen Armes
Helen Armes has wanted to be an actor from an early age. Her family moved to Scotland from Lancashire when she was 11 and since then she has appeared regularly with the Lyceum Youth Theatre. This involvement led to a professional performance at the Royal Lyceum, Edinburgh and leading roles in two children's TV serials for BBC Scotland.
From the moment Helen walked into the audition for the first TV show, the director knew that she was an exceptional talent for a 15-year-old. When it came to the second show, the development of her talent was clear. He is certain that, with the right training, she has all the attributes to become an actor of stature on the British stage.
Helen has won a place at the Guildford School of Acting to study for three years. Despite a Dance and Drama Award, she would not have been able to accept the place without additional financial support.
How the Award Helped
The Dewar Arts Award has provided that additional support to enable Helen to pursue her dreams of becoming an actor.
Since the Award
Helen's funding has been continued for a further year into 2007. She writes, "I have had an incredibly fulfilling first year at GSA. I have enjoyed the lessons, the teachers, and the challenges, as well as my development as both person and an actor, and I know that I could not have reached this stage without such a high quality of training."

Governor says Central Bank had to force banks to deal with tracker situation
Philip Lane says not all lenders addressed 'unacceptable failings'
The Central Bank was pushed to the "limits of its powers" to force banks to deal with their "unacceptable failings" on tracker mortgages.
Central Bank governor Philip Lane will tell the Oireachtas Finance Committee today that "all lenders did not sufficiently recognise or address the scale of those unacceptable failings" until his institution intervened.
The governor's opening statement was sent to committee members last night, after Taoiseach Leo Varadkar told the Dáil the Government has "lost patience" with banks involved in the controversy.
"The Government will take further action if we don't see further progress and much more quickly, whether that's through enhanced powers for the Central Bank or increased taxation imposed on the banks," Mr Varadkar said.
'Admonish the banks'
Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe will also meet and "admonish" the banks involved next week.
In his opening statement, Mr Lane said an examination of the scandal by the Central Bank had taken some time because banks had not fully addressed or dealt with the problem. The examination would be "at a more advanced stage" if the banks had done as had been asked, he said.
The Central Bank has defended the pace of its inquiry, which started two years ago. Its latest update, published earlier this week, showed about 13,000 people have been affected and the final total is expected to rise to more than 20,000. A further update from the Central Bank will be published early next year.
"As the Central Bank progresses this work, other lenders will be similarly challenged," Mr Lane said.
He also identified a number of cases where initial proposals for redress and compensation from lenders "fell materially short of the Central Bank's expectations".
'Low payments'
Examples includes incidents where there was a failure to offer compensation, "unacceptably low offers of compensation" and "unacceptably low payments" for those affected to seek independent advice.
Mr Lane says there was also a failure "to acknowledge certain types of detriment sustained by customers, for compensation purposes, including customers that switched lenders as a result of being on the incorrect interest rate".
He said all lenders are expected to have started "redress and compensation" by the end of the year. The Central Bank is liaising with organisations such as the Competition and Consumer Protection Committee, the Financial Services Ombudsman and An Garda Síochána.
Financial Services Ombudsman Ger Deering has also expressed disappointment with the banks for their response to the tracker mortgage issue. He said the slow response indicated the culture within the banks has not changed.
"They should at this stage understand the hardship this is causing customers. They should voluntarily move ahead and resolve the issue," he said.
Mr Deering said his office had received 1,800 complaints about tracker mortgages since 2009. Decisions had been reached in 700 cases, but only 25 per cent of these had their tracker mortgage restored.
His office carried out an analysis of 500 complaints about tracker mortgages, but Mr Deering said he could not pinpoint any one cause for the tracker mortgages issue.
"The banks differ in their approach. Some are concerned for their customers, but some look at the bottom line to see how they can save money.
"Tracker mortgages became uneconomic so they tried to encourage or deny people their tracker mortgages. That's my own interpretation."

Race news from 2015
For 2015, Burnside Forge Racing Division was delighted to welcome Wayne Lewis to our team. He also helped us to expand our team presence into the world of cyclocross. We have represented from New England to Virgina and North Carolina, and have collectively had a race in all 12 months of the year.
I would like to thank our generous team sponsors… People's Bicycle, Rushing Duck Brewing, American Icon Screenprinting, and Vince Vennitti… Your support is greatly appreciated!
Wayne had a solid season on his 2 new bikes, first in XC where he stood on the podium 3 times in 7 races (including a 100-miler and a win at cathedral pines in coed teams) and finding his stride in cat1. He continued straight into CX season, working hard over 19 races to earn up to cat3, and finished with a trip to nationals in Asheville to close out the season.

Widescreen Vs Standard Monitors
Since the passing of Apple's founder, Steve Jobs, in 2011, classic Macintosh computers are finally seeing a resurgence in recognition. If you want to prepare folks to design, construct, and purpose about formal abstractions, including laptop software program, one of the best method absolutely is to look for the most difficult mental exercises that drive the mind to master summary entities — entities which are purely summary, and which cause the mind the utmost difficulty to deal with.
For under 20 US dollars or extra, you should purchase a pc toolkit which is specially designed to repair your computer with instruments made to repair PCs and Laptops. The video games are available on several platforms including Mac, PC and Nintendo DS. If you need to purchase the game, I recommend either the Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection or the Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection (my personal favorite shown under). Once the power provide is loose removing it is as simple as pulling the power provide free towards the entrance of the pc case.

The differences between computer classifications usually get smaller as expertise advances, creating smaller and more powerful and cost-pleasant parts. Even within the period of sensible computing, the traditional keyboard has evolved into on-display and touch keyboard. I actually have dealt with laptop alliance a few instances now and all the time been very proud of all parts of our transactions.
Simply purchasing an IPS monitor without the proper features or panel high quality will not internet you an excellent picture. Drop us a line together with your best concepts and among the best will end up being featured right here on this lens…. I might also have a go doing them myself subsequent time I improve a pc.

Depending on the speed of your computer it is going to work for anything between 30 and ninety minutes.

Waltham "own label" movements are very rare in UK – I have only seen them for Russell of Liverpool and Preston's of Bolton, but they are somewhat more common in the USA. They come in two varieties. The first have different specifications to mainstream models, such as this 1908-641 branded the Preston's senior which appears to be a 1908-PSB with the addition of a double roller.
|Waltham 1908-635 The "Russell Model"
The second more common own label, is a standard model with engraving added to brand them as "own Label" The Preston's junior is of this type as is the Russell model above which includes the Waltham name on the movement and this 1899-630 marked for jewellers Harry A Dillon of Gloversville New York but without the Waltham name although in this case Waltham is on the dial.

Happy 25th, Cappy/
Capcom, the company that brings us the Mega Man franchise, the company that gives reason for this site to even exist, has turned 25 today. And of course it's not just Mega Man we can thank them for, but other huge names like Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and so forth. Capcom CEO Kenzou Tsujimoto has released a special message about Capcom's success as of late, and promises for the future. Congratulations, Capcom, and thank you! It's a little weird to think that I'm just a few months older than the company.

Is it OK to reboil water... or do I need to refill and start fresh with cold water each time?
At a recent coffee class, Meghan asked about reboiling water and if it is OK to reheat a still warm kettle. Good question!
I wanted to say that we shouldn't reboil a kettle but wasn't sure why. After the class, I did more research. As it turns out, it is fine to reboil your kettle.
As long as you are using good quality, clean-tasting water in your kettle (and why wouldn't you?), it can be reheated and will not affect the taste or quality of your coffee. Or your tea. Despite what your granny or British relatives say.
As with all your coffee equipment, you should keep your kettle clean inside and out. This means regularly dumping out the old water and replacing it with fresh.
If you keep adding water and reboiling without ever cleaning or rinsing it inside, you will get mineral buildup from the evaporated water (steam). In fact, you may get mineral deposits even if you are regularly rinsing it, depending on the mineral content of your water.
If you do get mineral buildup in your kettle, it can be cleaned using vinegar or lime / lemon juice. Here's a link to detailed instructions. In most of Canada, we have great quality water and this doesn't need to be done as frequently as they recommend.

Quick Reference
A chain or heavy wire rigging running from the end of the bowsprit to the ship's stem or cutwater. Particularly heavy rigging was required in this position since the fore-topmast in sailing vessels was stayed to the bowsprit, exerting a strong upward pull when the sails were full of wind. The bowsprit was also secured by shrouds from either bow of the ship. Very few sailing vessels are fitted with bowsprits today and in consequence the bobstay is rarely seen as a piece of rigging; generally, the only sailing vessels still using it are the various sail training ships and some classic yachts.

Coloring Books For Grown-Ups Is The New Fad
If you grew up in the 1950s, you surely remember how much fun it was to get a new box of Crayola crayons and to color for hours in your favorite coloring books. Decades later, coloring books got a bad rap as parents were trying to encourage their children to "express" their inner artist and color outside the lines. Well it seems these same parents are now discovering the relaxation benefits of coloring within the lines again. A whole crop of coloring books for adults is now being marketed to help you reduce stress. With names like "Color Me Calm : 100 Coloring Templates for Meditation and Relaxation" or "Posh Coloring Book: Art Therapy for Fun & Relaxation", coloring is back in style again.

We gathered round as she examined the plant protruding from the rocky substrate. Botanist Sheri Hagwood, of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, had been guiding our group of 15 aspiring naturalists through the Horseshoe Ranch Wilderness Management Area, but had now stopped as something special caught her eye. There was a small plant with green ovate leaves and a pinkish-red stem; its sepals closed tightly around its hidden flower bloom, which would open in the afternoon, giving this plant its name. We had found a rare Four o'clock flower, Mirabilis greenei, of the family Nyctaginaceae.
Our adventure started in the Casa Ramos parking lot in Yreka, CA. We were meeting for our first ever Hike & Learn event focused on the monument expansion into Northern California. We had a great group with many of our Ashland regulars making the trip to join some new faces from the Yreka area. As soon as we all got together and organized our carpool, we struck out for the trailhead.
Our drive took us around Iron Gate Reservoir, to the mouth of Scotch Creek. It was to be a warm day, and the cool blue pools of the creek were already very enticing. As we made our way along, we took time to stop periodically and identify different species like white and black oak, milkweed, desert paintbrush, mock orange, and many others. Our hike along Scotch Creek was accompanied by a melody of birds including goldfinches, grosbeaks, and Lazuli's buntings.
Hiking along, Sheri took several opportunities to inform us about the anthropogenic uses of some of the plants. The flowers of desert paintbrush can be plucked and eaten, the bark of willows can be made into a tea to sooth headaches, and the straight branches of many trees could be used in basket weaving or to craft shafts for arrows.
We eventually left the cool company of the creek to make our way across a grassy field, through a sea of California sunshine – Oregon sunshine if we had been a bit farther north. We then made our way up into an oak savannah. These precious habitats, important to many plant and animal species, are few and far between. They have been encroached upon for years by agriculture and western juniper trees.
We began our way back to the trailhead, making our way along Slide Creek. Along the way we found many interesting plant species, including the rare four o'clock wildflower. Two of my personal favorites from the day were the desert sage and yellow monkey flower. Finding ourselves back where we had begun, we said our goodbyes, thanked Sheri for a wonderful hike, and made our way home.

I know it's only 1st November, and we all really celebrate New Year's day on 1st January, but since a number of years back I have celebrated the entrance to a new year at the beginning of every November, as the celtic tradition indicates. The reason for this is that I was/have been a wiccan for years, even though I don't practise at all today, and I'm not even sure I believe anymore.
Every Samhain's night (Halloween night), I usually dedicate myself to honour those of mine who have passed away (and, in my case, they're most of them). I also meditate about my life and where it seems to be going and, every now and then, I do a little ritual to get rid of things I don't want in my life anymore and, at the same time, I ask for new things to be brought into my life in the new year.
Every year, surprisingly, I get brilliant results out of this. "This" meaning either my meditating about life, or the actual mini ritual put in place. I envision my life "packed with all these new features" and, eventually, along the year, I get to them. I've always been grateful for this. I ask "the universe" to bring stuff into my life, and it does! Whether it's the universe or it is simply me, conditioning my own mind for a new set of goals, it doesn't really matter. The important thing is that I ask, and I receive. That's the beauty of it, really.
Well, this year has been different. I obviously always think of my ancestors, and I wish they're all well, wherever they are (if anywhere). But this year I haven't really done any rituals. As of yesterday, or even last week, I was pretty certain of those things in my life which I want to keep, get rid of, or bring into my life. It has cost me months, efforts and even a period of sickness, but come Samhain this year, I was more than ready to start the new year with clear thoughts in my head. And it's wonderful!
This morning, I woke up feeling 1) grateful, 2) quite confident and, 3) generally happy. One feels great knowing what really is happening in one's life and where life can get to. I know mine will change across the course of the coming year, but I can't wait for all these changes to happen. I am starting to see where I want my life to be going towards. And it just feels fine!
So, having said all this, and if I may give out a little piece of advice: stop for a moment, cast a thought towards those ones who are not amongst us anymore, and ask for all those things you want to have in your lives. Just ask! You'll all see that you will receive, too!
Happy Celtic New Year, everyone! May you have a merry one! 🙂

November 20 - EuroBasket 2015 in Ukraine is to be led by Markiyan Lubkivsky, the man who helped make this year' UEFA European Championships so successful, it has been announced.
Lubkivsky oversaw Euro 2012 in Ukraine, which they co-hosted with Poland, and he formally finished his job as director there yesterday.
He will take up the role full-time of tournament director at EuroBasket 2015 in the New Year.
"I am very grateful to the Basketball Federation of Ukraine for their offer to lead the preparation of a basketball tournament in terms of its organisation and the projects close to those that we prepared for Euro 2012," said Lubkivsky.
Ukraine were awarded the men's tournament by world governing body FIBA in Munich last December, a bid that was led by world pole vault record holder Sergey Bubka, in his role as head of the National Olympic Committee.
A total of 24 teams are due to take part in the tournament which will have matches in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and the capital Kiev for the first round with Odessa, Lviv and again Kiev hosting the second round and the finals.
Ukraine will be hoping to emulate the success of Euro 2012, which broke attendance records, and which culminated in the final at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev with Spain beating Italy 4-0.
"We will be able to organise the draw and EuroBasket 2015 on such a high level as the Euro 2012 European Football Championship was held," said Lubkivsky.
"We have profound knowledge, so it won't be a problem to organise EuroBasket 2015.
"However, we should start preparing already, because it is a complex project that requires significant effort."

Life at the top: Inside a couple's home in Trump Parc
Couple's 21st-floor Trump Parc apartment is a cozy home with breathtaking views
STAMFORD -- During the late 1980s, Saul Cohen, the former executive director of Stamford's Jewish Community Center, formed a marketing research company in the basement of his North Stamford residence.
He became, in his words, "one of those people who work from home wearing short pants, with my feet up."
In 1988, he was profiled in The Advocate as part of a growing trend of people working from home.
Now, more than two decades later, he has come full circle: Once again, he is a topic of news, this time as a retired empty nester who has traded in his quiet, rustic surroundings for a glass-enclosed life of urban voyeurism.
Saul, 70, and his wife, Mimi, 66, were among the first families last October to move into Trump Parc, the city's tallest building, which sits at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Broad Street. By all accounts, the transition for the two New York natives has been seamless.
"It felt like home three days after we moved in," Saul said.
As snow drizzled over the city Friday, the couple were comfortably nestled high inside their approximately 2,500-square-foot three-bedroom apartment on the 21st floor, high above the frosty landscape.
Mimi, a former school administrator who grew up in Manhattan, said that she had simply grown tired of the suburbs.
"I grew up in a city where you could just walk to everything," she said. "This is carefree and really wonderful living. Downtown has a lot to offer."
Stamford residents since 1976, there was no question in their minds that they wanted to stay in the city. Because their two children lived in Boston and Philadelphia, the location allowed them to be equidistant to each.
They also had deep roots here. During his years running the Jewish Community Center, trying to make it a social and cultural hub for Jews in the area, Saul was unofficially anointed the "Jewish mayor of Stamford."
Armed with those reasons, they made the leap in 2007. They were one of the first to sign on to the building, which at the time had only floor plans and an architectural model. They decided to combine a one-bedroom with a two-bedroom and wound up paying around $1.8 million.
Then, the housing market spiraled. Friends barraged them with phone calls, warning them that people were pulling out and that Trump Parc might never get built.
In the face of widespread panic, Mimi said that doubt crept into her mind "for about a second." In the end, the couple held fast to their conviction that they had made the right choice.
"We're optimists," Mimi said. "If we were pessimists, we wouldn't have done this."
Saul added, "We have absolutely no regrets."
As for living in a building that is still lonely for more occupants, Mimi defiantly declared: "You know what? We're pioneers. Someone has to be first."
Within a contemporary-styled apartment with marble finishings, they have managed to create a cozy sense of home. Their walls are adorned with artwork that reflect their passions: photos of family members, snapshots from a recent African safari and nostalgic mementos, such as a ceramic mask they bought during one of the Pink Tent Festivals that used to be held in Mill River Park.
The most eye-grabbing feature, however, are the views, which offer a rarely seen vantage point of the city.
Their living room faces south onto the city's West Side, and their field of vision includes the Sound, Long Island and the tip of Manhattan. On clear nights, they see the shimmering lights of the Empire State Building in the distance. Below, the reconstructed and unleashed Mill River gushed with surprising strength.
One especially "serendipitous" discovery, Saul said, has been the sunsets. "We'll stop what we're doing and just come to look at the sunsets."
Fascinated by his new scenic vistas, Saul keeps two sets of binoculars: one on the window sill of the living room and another in the bedroom, where he can watch the treetops of North Stamford ripen and wither through the seasons. He has been trying to identify what he sees. By his bedside, he keeps a map of Stamford that he tore from a phone book.
In many ways, the couple can be pointed to as a vindication of the city's focus on downtown housing as the antidote to making Stamford more livable, green and vibrant.
Close to the library, restaurants and train station, they take the car less, saving gas, Saul said.
Mimi said she liked the heterogeneity.
"It's a lot more of what I grew up with in terms of being part of the greater world," she said.
Though they have stopped working, their lives are busy, filled with various civic, social and personal engagements. They are currently taking a class on films of the 1960s at Norwalk Community College, allowing them to watch movies in the afternoon. "A decadent thing," according to Mimi.
They have also attended the civic forums "Reinventing Stamford," an initiative to foster public ideas about how to make Stamford more competitive. On that front, Saul said he sees one of the keys being enhanced transportation, whether it's more buses or a light rail system.
"They need something to bring people in," he said.
Saul noted that their children, who grew up in Stamford, left for college and settled elsewhere.
On Friday, which happened to be Saul's birthday, they were set to return, bringing their own children in tow.
Coming right before the Jewish holiday of Purim, the weekend seemed guaranteed to be lively and festive.
Saul, who has curly tufts of white hair and beard, said people will often ask him what he does all day now that he is retired.
"I tell them, `I don't know. I don't have time to think about it.' "

Promise Committee Debuts Car Flags
By Camille Hunt The Promise Committee, a student-run organization, was created after last December's fatal drunk-driving accident, which took the life of senior Kelsey Durkin and devastated the W&L community. As our campus continues to heal from last year's loss, the Promise Committee has helped the W&L community move forward with a safer and more conscious mindset. The committee was responsible for last year's Generals Week, which featured events like a 5K race, a speech given by alum Eloise Southard, a concert, and a video presentation. The powerful video, which features friends of Kelsey Durkin and students involved in the accident, details Washington and Lee's history with drunk driving. It not only brought us to tears, but also brought us to terms with the fact that we, as students, must take action to ensure that this past pattern of drunk driving at W&L doesn't continue into the future.
As the one-year anniversary of last year's tragedy approaches, the committee has been working with fraternities and other social organizations directly to improve the sober driving system for off-campus parties. On Saturday, November 15th, a caravan of cars marked with yellow flags made its way to and from the Freshmen Quad and Windfall Hill to provide transportation for that afternoon's Thanksgiving party. As is customary before any party, students were sent via email a list naming the sober drivers for Saturday's event complete with each driver's cell phone number. Students were also informed that they would be able to recognize their sober drivers by the yellow flags on their cars, a new addition to the fraternity driving system thanks to the Promise Committee.
The purpose of the yellow flags is to clearly mark and make available cars that can safely take students home from a party, which the committee hopes will discourage students from getting into a car driven by anyone other than a guaranteed sober driver. While the Traveller program does an impeccable job of keeping students safe on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights, these yellow flags could make a huge difference on days that Traveller buses don't run or any time a party is held outside of Traveller's route. Additionally, though it goes without saying that no designated driver should need cautioning, the yellow flag affixed to any driver's car will serve as a constant reminder of his or her promise to stay sober.
Though Saturday was somewhat of a trial run for the new yellow flags, it seems they made a good start. Saturday's sober drivers commented that most students looking for a ride still called the numbers sent via email, but that the yellow flags definitely distinguished their vehicles and ensured that passengers easily found their sober driver. The Executive Committee is working with the Promise Committee to facilitate the distribution of flags to W&L's social organizations and has gotten confirmation from local police that cars marked with yellow flags will not be targeted. Once the flags have been distributed, recipients are to keep the flags for their next event. Though small, these yellow car flags are slated to make a big difference for students in Lexington. We hope to see this small change go a long way.

WILD CARD: Neon Dance
Thursday 22 March & Friday 23 March
Pre-show activities: 7pm, Performances: 8pm
Wild Card returns with a bespoke evening curated by Adrienne Hart and her company Neon Dance.
Special guests from different disciplines feature in the programme as dance, live music, video and lighting design encounter each other in an event that forms part of Nils Frahm's Piano Day, a creative international celebration initiated by the acclaimed Berlin music producer and pianist.
Collaboration is at the heart of every Neon Dance production, with Hart inviting artists from different disciplines to come together on a level playing field. Artists, collaborators and special guests feed into a rich evening of up close performances and live music encounters, with a special place given to the piano.
Neon Dance presents excerpts of Empathy, choreographed by Hart in conversation with Professor Simon Baron-Cohen (Zero Degrees of Empathy) and developed with an award-winning, internationally renowned team, with costumes by Ana Rajcevic, laser light design by the design collective Numen, and an original score by Danish band Efterklang in collaboration with Gyda Valtysdottir and Shahzad Ismaily.
Guest artists include Canadian composer and pianist John Kameel Farah, whose work embraces aspects of baroque and early music, experimental, contemporary classical, improvisation, middle-eastern music and forms of electronic music; composer and cellist Anne Muller, who is a regular collaborator with Nils Frahm; dance artist Maeva Berthelot, who has worked with Wayne McGregor and Hofesh Shechter Company; and award-winning Thai dance artist Pichet Klunchun, best known for his collaboration with Jerome Bel.
The pre-show offer includes an installation by artist Lily Hunter Green inspired by the declining bee population; Sebastian Reynolds DJing piano tracks on vinyl; and a video documentary about the creation process for Neon Dance's Empathy.
Adrienne Hart said: "At the heart of my practice is collaboration. I'm fascinated by the process and what happens when artists from different disciplines share a room and commit to making a work together. My Wild Card will give London audiences an up close live dance and music experience and I've left some aspects of the night to chance. For example, John Kameel Farah and Maeva Berthelot will meet for the first time on the day of the show! There will be a few rules established then it's all about the two of them responding to one another and feeding off the audience on the night!"
Adrienne Hart trained at Swindon Dance and London Contemporary Dance School. She works internationally as a choreographer and as Artistic Director of Neon Dance, which she founded in 2003. Her work has been commissioned and supported by Arts Council England, British Council, Creative England, Dance Digital, Modern Art Oxford, Glastonbury Festival, Royal Opera House, DanceXchange and Pavilion Dance South West, amongst others. Hart's 2018 commissions include creating a new work for Company of Elders, Sadler's Wells' inspirational resident over-60s performance company; taking part in a symposium dedicated to the work of Arakawa and Madeline Gins at Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery (Columbia University, New York); and premiering new work Puzzle Creature in Japan as part of Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial.
Neon Dance is currently resident company at Swindon Dance and Adrienne Hart is one of the selected artists taking part in Sadler's Wells' Summer University programme (2015 – 2018).
Eva Martinez, Sadler's Wells' Artistic Programmer, said: "Some artists are natural curators: they have a flair for choosing other fellow creative minds to try things out with. Adrienne is of them, she is naturally curious and gifted at finding ways to work with music, technology, and other cultures: she is passionate about music and how dance interacts with it. This idea is at the heart of her Wild Card, an evening half way between an intimate gig with an international piano star, a jam/improv session with exquisite dancers and a dance show where lasers are performers too."

Two display panels describing the Johnson Building Improvement Project and asking for public comment seem to have hit a raw nerve last week. On Monday, paper-covered panels were filled with hundreds of observations and criticisms, handwritten and on post-it notes, mostly negative, but with many suggestions for improvements. On Wednesday, they were replaced with fresh sheets of paper which, by the end of the day, had covered half of the available space again.
Years of budget cutbacks to the public library system; a weak and disorganized constellation of BPL lobbyists at the local, state and federal level; and a poisonous relationship between the previous library president and the current mayor have left the 1970s addition to the McKim Building in a state of disrepair. And an easy target for the frustrated public which left the following messages: "Fix glitches in the on-line catalogue." "What happened to the arm chairs?" "Turn down the heat in the Johnson Building: it's always too hot." "More books, fewer computers." "Fix and clean the bathrooms." "A friendlier staff: I'm surprised when someone is helpful." "Better toilet paper." "Friendlier security guards." "An area where I can use my laptop when it's plugged in." "Add more local papers and archives to data base." "From the atrium, graphics to show where the call numbers are." "Be more informed and welcoming to visitors." "Staff none too friendly." "AP tutors." "Bring back newspapers." "Magazines that circulate please." "Bring back the reading room." "Scrap paper at catalogue tables." "Install bike racks at the entrance...lots of them." "Fix the sidewalk so it's not a tripping hazard." "Create an outdoor plaza with benches and planters." "Open the library to the street." "Get better books, not just bestsellers." "Bathrooms are disgusting." "More light." "A targeted quiet space." "A store to sell library books." "Pay fines on-line." "Hang a huge sparkling mobile in the central atrium." "Phone-charging stations." " More windows." "Take down the barriers." "Kiosk for entrepreneurs and local artists to promote, sell, give work and info." "Meeting space for small non-profits." "Boards like these should be up all the time." "Take down the barriers." "Resources for the homeless." "Bring back the periodicals room." "Clean, clean clean." "Keep the restaurant open Saturdays." "Keep the restaurant open until after lectures at night." A second-floor bathroom." "Coffee shop" "More selection in teen room." "Teen room should be hip." "Teen room should be easy to find." "Teen room should have computers." "Humanize." Have people who can alphabetize books." "Remove dirty carpet." "Have employees who want to be here: others would love their jobs." "Why do staff seem so unfriendly: are you treating them well?" "Get on the ball stocking shelves with terrific new writers." "More color." "Get the maps of Boston off the ground." "Make cards, souvenirs, bags, history of library books available." "Mice." "No multi-language signage but multi-language children's books: disgraceful." "More selection in teen room." "Teen room should be hip." "Teen room should be easy to find." "Teen room should have computers." "Humanize." Have people who can alphabetize books."
And then there was this one: "Boards like this should be up all the time."
The current effort to revamp the down-trodden Johnson Building into a modern, exciting, light-filled space that welcomes library users and visitors instead of aggravating them is led by an outside six-member local Community Advisory Committee, BPL staff headed by president Amy Ryan, and the architectural firm of Rawn Associates, designers of the Mattapan, East Boston and Cambridge Public Library, among other places. Part of the project includes the consideration of leasing some of the one-million-square-feet building to "library-mission-compatible commercial space." A consulting group, Byrne/McKinney, is working on that aspect.
The CAC meetings for the Johnson Improvement Project are open to the public. The next one will be held on Wednesday, May 8 at 8:30 AM in the Johnson Building's Lower Level Conference Room 5. Check the BPL web site under News and Events. Scroll down to Strategic Planning for further information and dates, OR go to the FOSEL web site under Community News, which carries several previous posts about this exciting but challenging project.

Ezekiel 4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)
An Attack on Jerusalem Is Pictured
4 "Son of man, get a block of clay. Put it in front of you. Draw the city of Jerusalem on it. 2 Then pretend to surround it and attack it. Make some little models of war machines. Build a ramp up to it. Set camps up around it. Surround it with models of logs to be used for knocking down its gates. 3 Then get an iron pan. Put it between you and the city. Pretend it is an iron wall. Turn your face toward the city. It will be under attack when you begin to attack it. That will show the people of Israel what is going to happen to Jerusalem.
4 "Next, lie down on your left side. Pretend that you are putting Israel's sin on yourself. Keep their sin on you for the number of days you lie on your side. 5 Let each day you lie there stand for one year of their sin. So you will keep Israel's sin on you for 390 days.
6 "After you have finished this, lie down again. This time lie on your right side. Pretend that you are putting Judah's sin on yourself. Lie there for 40 days. That is one day for each year of their sin. 7 Next, turn your face toward the model of Jerusalem under attack. Uncover your arm as if you were a soldier ready to fight. Prophesy against the city. 8 I will tie you up with ropes. Then you will not be able to turn from one side to the other. You will stay that way until you have finished attacking Jerusalem.
9 "Get some wheat and barley. Also get some beans and lentils. And get some millet and spelt. Put everything in a storage jar. Use it to make some bread for yourself. Eat it during the 390 days you are lying down on your side. 10 Weigh out eight ounces of food to eat each day. Eat it at your regular mealtimes. 11 Also measure out two-thirds of a quart of water. Drink it at your regular mealtimes. 12 Eat your food as you would eat a loaf of barley bread. Bake it over human waste in front of the people." 13 The Lord said, "That is how the people of Israel will eat 'unclean' food. They will eat it in the nations where I will drive them."
14 Then I said, "No, Lord and King! I won't do this! I've never eaten anything 'unclean.' From the time I was young until now, I've never eaten anything that was found dead. And I've never eaten anything torn apart by wild animals. 'Unclean' meat has never entered my mouth."
15 "All right," he said. "I will let you bake your bread over waste from cows. You can use that instead of human waste."
16 He continued, "Son of man, I am about to cut off the food supply in Jerusalem. The people will be worried as they eat their tiny share of food. They will not have any hope as they drink their tiny share of water. 17 There will be very little food and water. The people will be shocked as they look at one another. They will become weaker and weaker because of their sin.

Plans being drawn up for a third chicken shed at a farm near Allanton could provide a jobs boost for Berwickshire.
Angela MacLean, owner of MacLean Eggs, hopes to build the shed at his family-run farm, Hutton Hall Barns, also home to Border Eggs.
It currently has several poultry sheds housing up to 40,000 birds on the site, and the proposed new building would be MacLean Eggs' third, accommodating 32,000 free-range hens.
That mooted increase in birds is a result of commitments made in 2016 by supermarket chains including Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi to source all their eggs from cage-free hens by 2025.
Producers such as MacLean Eggs are now investing in new facilities to meet the market demands those pledges are about to generate.
A contract for the additional eggs has already been agreed, and the poultry unit would be operational in 2018, if approved by planners.
Angela, 42, whose husband James runs Border Eggs, founded her company in 2015 to set herself "a challenge to establish a thriving business, to employ local people and to work with animals."
She told the Berwickshire News: "Hutton Hall Barns is one of the very few farms in the area actively increasing staff numbers year on year.
"The poultry shed approved earlier this year will increase my staff numbers by an additional four.
"This is not to mention the seasonal local employment created at certain times of the year to help with the chickens.
"As a producer of welfare-friendly free-range eggs, I am proud to supply a food that the consumer desires.
"My growing business will help to meet some of the increasing demand for Scottish free-range eggs, but more importantly it will create jobs for local people and produce food in the beautiful Berwickshire countryside."
The couple currently employ a total of 10 full and part-time staff members across the 444-acre farm.
However, the recently-approved second unit sparked five objections, including one from Hutton and Paxton Community Council, so a similar fate may await this one.
Those objections were concerned with bird numbers and capacity within fields, proximity to watercourse and impact from pollution.
This latest application, put to Scottish Borders Council by Kevin White Architecture, will have sufficient space for free-ranging 2,500 birds per hectare in line with European Union rules.
The proposed new poultry building would also be positioned more than 400 metres from the closest house, Hutton Castle Barns.
There will be two tractor and trailer loads of manure moved per week from the proposed poultry house, and birds are to be removed and sheds restocked every 56 weeks, accounting for eight additional traffic movements in each 13-month cycle.

The Cocktail event at the Detroit Artist's Market was fantastic, lots of great furniture and fashion to take in, below is a picture of me and my submission taken by fellow designer John Kaloustian. This design is an adeptation of the Breakplane table, with a cabinet suspended between the legs for wine and liquor storage, I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
I am also currently working on variations of the Parabolic Stools (see here) with some different proportions, first with a larger stool, then into benches and possibly chairs
a few of the first shot at a larger stool in progress, it will take a few iterations to get it right:
I will also be working on some updates to the website as time allows, It may be a little different since you visited last, but its a work in progress.
Last but not least, I am already thinking about a large scale installation for September's Detroit Design Festival, so stayed tuned for that!

Filed under ArielEuropeanSuperSportSupercarsMotorsport
Ariel Motor Company joined forces with Atomic Race Management with a very easy purpose: to create an eight-race Ariel Atom race series for next year in the UK. To be more precise, the race series follows the success of the Spec Race Atom series in the US by using Cup Spec Atoms only. Under the hood, the Cup Spec Atoms hide a 2.0-liter Type R engine capable of developing 245 BHP. With no extra equipment, the Ariel Atom weight approximately 525 kg. The output enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and to reach a top speed of 145 mph. As a result we can say with confidence that the race-spec cars will be a little quicker because of a lower kerb weight.
The carmaker estimates a 500 kg car with stickier cup tires. The specialists also offer three race packages, Bronze, Silver and Gold with prices starting at GBP63.835, GBP71.985 and GBP83.580. Now, the Bronze package includes the race car and the Silver one adds tires, track assistance and fuel. The last one, the Gold package features maintenance, storage and transport. This is not all. The race cars also receive full roll-over protection, Ohlins suspension set-up and race instrumentation. The carmaker also offers some optional extras like stainless exhaust manifold, a carbon fiber instrument panel, a data logging system and FIA-approved passenger seatbelt. These are all the information available so far on the Ariel Atom race series, but stay tuned for more.

I was lucky to meet Anastasia Parmson through a business mastermind, and was immediately drawn to both her and her work. She has such a bright personality, and it is definitely mirrored in her work. Having worked in some form of art since childhood, Anastasia realized in adult years that she absolutely loved travel, and her art was suffering because of the time put into travel. She knew she needed to make art again as well, and decided to make art based on her travels. I love that she is intentional in this way about her work.
Read More
I am personally grateful that Anastasia has inspired me to see everything as travel, whether it be travel to another country or county. She believes that what might not feel necessarily like travel for one person, is most definitely for another, and I've carried that belief with me since meeting her. A local river may be my "normal," but someone from Fiji may never see it. I travel constantly, and appreciate it in a different way than before. Anastasia started #ThinkLikeATraveler on Instagram - I hope you'll check it out!

By Will Griggs
The wonder of young adult and children's book series is that they are so fantastic and inclusive. Most center on the basic trope of good vs. evil; yet, it is the organization of disparate characters to form the will of the good that truly gives the reader a basis for connection. The following ten series all provided me with a connection to an incredible world that allowed me to experience emotions and adventures within myself.
Artemis Fowl (8 Books & 2 Shorts)
Artemis Fowl is a wonderful set of stories where the protagonist can also be the anti-hero. Also, like Encyclopedia Brown later in this list, Fowl celebrates intelligence and doesn't belittle it.
Chronicles of Narnia (7 Books)
Narnia was transformative in the publishing world. An incredibly fantastic world centered on the very real troubles of British children in the World War II era. Targeted at those not yet ready for Middle Earth, they are also well-known as vessels for disseminating Christian theology.
Chronicles of Prydai (5 Books & 3 Shorts)
Think Narnia without the overhanded Christian theology and one of the most badass villains—The Horned King.
Encyclopedia Brown (29 Books)
Sherlock Holmes for the pre-tween set. Plus, how many children's books actually celebrate intelligence instead of dismissing or ignoring it?
Harry Potter (7 Books & 3 Shorts)
How many books had midnight release parties? Exactly.
Hunger Games (3 Books)
This is definitely not for little kids, but this young adult series dares to use the standard tropes of post-apocalyptic futures and love triangles to give an interesting treatise on the battle between communism and fascism.
Indian in the Cupboard (5 Books)
Before there was Toy Story, there was Indian in the Cupboard. Small figures come to life and magic ensues.
Kairos (A Wrinkle in Time) (8 Books)
While most readers stick with the five books of the Wrinkle in Time series, the Kairos series also includes the three books of the O'Keefe family. My favorite is still Many Waters, where the twins find themselves transported back to the time of Noah and his family.
Rookies (6 Books)
Probably the most unknown of any series on this list, The Rookies follows the first season of three high school teammates as they navigate the ups and downs of friendship and baseball.
Sherlock Holmes (9 Works)
Although the Sherlock Holmes stories may not be particularly targeted at younger audiences, I discovered them at a fourth grade book fair. My dad bought me all four books the fair offered and I consumed them immediately. And I am still enamored with this signature sleuth.
