And…we're back after a long "weekend" at the American Library Association Annual Meeting! We had a blast and learned so much – watch for our wrap-up post about the conference tomorrow!
Today, though, we are so happy to present this interview with Zoe Toft, the founder and manager of a wonderful early literacy blog called Playing by the book. Fans of Rebecca Z. Dunn's Pages to Projects series will love the children's book reviews, author interviews, and loads of creative extension activities that Zoe has pulled together in this fantastic resource for parents, educators, and youth librarians. ~ Laura
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your work?
I work part-time as a librarian at an infant school (ages 3-7) and volunteer at 2 local schools doing a mixture of literacy support and enrichment sessions. I sit on the national executive of a UK wide charity which promotes reading for pleasure for children, The Federation of Children's Book Groups, and am currently leading preparations for a Festival of Children's Literature in my home town, Birmingham, in the autumn.
I wasn't much of a reader myself as a child. I did read, though not widely and it certainly wasn't something I was passionate about. My real discovery of the joy a great book can bring came about after my children were born. I'd been an academic and I didn't really know what to do with little babies. Having spent years reading for research I thought books might be able to help me out with babies. And so I started reading to my children, from the day they were born. Books gave me a structure and a way to enjoy simply being with the little people, and as my children grew older, books gave me a way to play and interact. Now I'm never without a book within arm's reach, and I can't imagine a day without reading to my children, with my children, and for myself. It's such a simple and yet profound pleasure.
Can you tell us a bit about your blog, Playing by the book? What prompted you to start the project, and how did you start sourcing the content for it?
When my eldest started going to nursery something rather funny happened. Every day she'd skip to nursery and say a happy hello to the staff, who'd say "Good Morning M____ (my daughter's name)". My daughter would without fail turn round and reply, "Oh, no, I'm not M____, today I'm….." and here she would insert the name of a book character. Whatever we'd read that morning or the night before would so enter into her being that M simply became that character, and would insist to all and sundry that she was not M, but rather a fictional character. It soon became a running joke – there was no child named M at the nursery, just one who stepped out of a different book each day.
It's a lovely anecdote, and her spontaneous book inspired play was heartwarming and delightful. But I knew I had a problem.
I have a terrible memory. And I was sure that if I didn't start documenting what we were reading and playing together I'd forget it all. And thus my blog, Playing by the book, was born. It started off as a way of keeping a diary, and also satisfying a need for me to write – having been an academic I was used to, and loved, writing articles; researching a topic, working it up, meeting a deadline, feeling satisfied with a good piece of work well done.
Initially all the books we reviewed came from our own shelves or the library, but then our local library closed, and I started getting offered more free review copies. Now most of the books I review come from publishers. I review probably only a third of the books I'm sent – I have a clear review policy in place and ultimately I blog for pleasure – that of my kids, and my own pleasure – so the pace of reviews, and precisely what makes it on to the blog is personal, but also only those books which we think are exceptional.
What are some recent highlights from the blog you'd like to share?
My blog focusses on reviews of the very best books for young children followed by some sort of creative activity inspired by the book – an extension of the book which really brings it to life, if you like.
- Gary Northfield's The Terrible Tales of the Teenytinysaurs! is a terrific book which inspired an amazing reaction in my girls. Some activities we get up to are indeed pretty involved, but others are much simpler, and easy to replicate such as the ladybird/bug game and toy we made in response to the beautiful Lucy Ladybird by Sharon King-Chai.
- I also enjoy interviewing authors and illustrators. Recently I've interviewed Mo Willems, Sarah Garland, and Viviane Schwarz amongst others.
- Returning to my research roots, I love it when I find a topic I can get my teeth into, such as this round up of children's authors and illustrators who were refugees (written to celebrate Refugee Week), this annotated list of children's books featuring genuine museum artefacts on public display around the world, or the rather more lighthearted list I curated of children's book inspired dolls' houses.
Can you talk a bit about the process of picking "extension" activities related to children's books? Does inspiration strike you right as you're reading the book? Do you look around Pinterest or other online or print resources for ideas? A combination of both?
Lots of ideas come to me when I'm swimming. Maybe the bottom of the pool is a good place to look! Other times, my girls know precisely what it is they want to do with a book and I have to work out a way of making their vision reality. If this is the case I often use Google Image search. If I'm looking for inspiration more in general I search Pinterest, and my favourite online repository of creative activities for children, The Crafty Crow. We try to visit an art gallery or museum most weeks and often I get inspiration from what I see there – a technique we can adapt, or an object we can replicate. Being creative – like reading – gets easier and more enjoyable the more you do it. It also helps to be a little bit brave: I don't see myself as a born crafter, but I'm willing to try things, to attempt new activities, to learn new skills. Sometimes things don't work out, and whilst that is frustrating in the moment, I'm a great believer in the journey being just as valuable as the end destination.

My ex just broke up with me Saturday and said he wants to be friends. I agreed because I really like his friends and hanging out with them. However I still really like him and want him back. He invited me to drink and go out with his friends this weekend as friends, but I don't know if I should go. He said not to get mad if I see him hitting on other girls there and I said ok. But ik if I see that I will get mad or upset so I don't know what to do. I was hoping I'd go out with them and we would end up getting together but I don't know if that would happen. We broke up because we fight a lot and don't get along drunk.

British Columbia salmon return one of largest seen in region – BBC, September 11, 2013
Pink salmon, shown in a file photograph, have a lifespan of two years
An estimated 26 million pink salmon have crowded British Columbia's waterways, nearly three times more fish than expected, officials have reported.
Roughly 17 million of the fish, which have a two-year life cycle, returned from the ocean in 2011.
This month's salmon run is one of the largest ever seen in north-west British Columbia, officials have said.
"It is a really good return this year, and we're quite pleased to see it," Les Jantz, area director for the British Columbia Interior, told the BBC.
Mr Jantz said large pink salmon returns had been reported in the US state of Alaska, which could foreshadow significant sockeye salmon returns after a low season.

Dungeness River has biggest salmon run in a half-century
Pink salmon, also known as humpbacks or humpies, are thick in the Dungeness River watershed this year.
SEQUIM — The biggest run of pink salmon in the Dungeness River since 1963 is underway.
The biannual summer run of pink salmon, also known as humpbacks or humpies, has filled the river with spawning fish so full that people easily can see the fish just about anywhere in the Dungeness River, said Scott Chitwood, natural resources director of the Jamestown S'Klallam tribe.

Historic return for pink salmon
Over one million return to Campbell/Quinsam
By Neil Cameron, The Courier-Islander September 27, 2013
Pink salmon returns to the Campbell and Quinsam Rivers hit a historic high of over one million fish this year. It is the highest total on record since the Quinsam Hatchery opened over 35 years ago.

Today Emma had school, I woke up at 7:00 so I had 45 minutes to get her ready. She made it to school on time! =) She is becoming a big girl now in the mornings at school! I used to have to park the car in the parking lot, get out and walk her down by her classroom. Well now she wants to be dropped off at the "drop off zone" and walk into the school by herself. I was a little apprehensive about this at first, but she does great. And what I absolutely love about her school is the principle and vice principle both do bus duty and drop off duty in the mornings and afternoons! When I dropped her off this morning her Principle yelled "Hi Emma!" to her =) Her school is amazing. She goes to a pretty large Elementary school and the fact that the Principle takes the time to learn the kids names, says a lot about who she is. She is an unbeliveably awesome Principle =) Anway, I woke up with an annoying headache this morning. So when I got home I went back to bed. You know what time I woke up? 1:50 in the afternoon! Holy moly! I couldn't believe it. I hurried and Brian and I went and picked Em up from school. After that we went to the dreaded grocery store. $160.00 later, we left. Ugghhh that makes me sick to my stomach. And I really feel like we didn't get a whole lot. BUT...I was really excited when I found these in the freezer section
We LOVE Checkers, but there are none at all in Maine. I'm not even sure where the closest one is. We plan to have these same night soon with homemade chicken tenders =)
Emma had gymnastics tonight. I really cannot believe how good she is doing. I don't want to sound like i'm bragging, but she's doing amazing. I have the best time watching her =)
She is still having a hard time pulling herself up on the bars, but she's working on it. Once she gets up there she can flip herself around pretty darn good! I wish I were able to do this!!! haha
We ended the night by making our favorite pizza. Chicken Ranch Pizza. Premade pizza crust, with homemade ranch dressing, covered in Pizza cheese and shredded chicken!
It's really good! When Brian is home we usually make one with the chicken tossed in Buffalo sauce.
Today was the first day it didn't rain in I don't know how long! Tomorrow a cousin of mine asked me to take some photos of her son for her =) But guess what, it's suppose to rain. So we'll see. Happy Friday!!!! =)

Reported: 2/17/2009 9:43:27 AM 09:43
Posted: 3/19/2009
Location: Irvine, CA
Shape: Disk
Duration:10 seconds
|Disc hovering at a southernmost tilt west of NB I-405 at Irvine Medows CA
My wife and I were traveling north on I-405 - approx midday. Before Culver exit, I glanced to the west and briefly saw a nearby tilted disc hovering directly over the northern part of Irvine's Preservation Area. Disc appeared reasonably large - maybe 40 feet in length, but viewing perspective made it appear very thin. The disc appeared to be very 'real' and solid in nature; I did not see any form of glowing or radiation of bright color. Object was gray/brown - I believe. It was hovering and completely/effortlessly static. Notably, it was tilting distinctly to its southernmost side. I viewed the object from the freeway, but could not alert my wife's attention to it quickly enough before a freeway bridge and trees obscured it from my view. I pulled off the Culver exit and drove west over the freeway to attempt a better view, feeling sure that we would be able to view something explainable, but the object was no longer visible. I often question if I had actually seen the object, but cannot account for how I could imagine the length, flatness and angular titling of the disc if I had indeed been confused or subject to some kind of illusion. Date and precise time are approximate, since I could not substantiate the sighting with other witnesses and questioned the 'reality' of it.
((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD))

It took two years, but now people start to use serversniff.net automated - despite the crazy redirect-mechanism. Some indian guy or gal put effort into doing a script to milk serversniff.net.
I expected this much earlier. Until now we had only very rudimentary abuse-checks to prevent serversniff.net beeing used for a denial of service against a host or a network. Now we tightened our abuse-checks to catch automated use on some scripts.
We encourage automated use of serversniffs functionalities, sites like www.paterva.com do this already - but please guys, talk to us before. We can make stuff easier for you. No need to write crazy perl-scripts or ugly curl-commandlines. We won't bite, really.

Why didn't you just ask then and there.00|00|0
I did when I got her number. She agreed then remembered she had this sorority thing all weekend which I know is legit since I know plenty of girls who were busy cause of it. So I said some other time we would figure it out. I haven't been free since though.

Fits well
Reviewed By David A (NOLANVILLE, TX) Reviewed for a 2013 Infiniti JX35 —8/10/2013 10:03 AM
I chose this product after reading comments on a JX forum. I chose this style (folding over a roll up) because I figured it would be more sturdy. Overall, I am impressed with the quality. It is fairly easy to install and it does cut down on the heat buildup in the car (in central TX). The bottom corners are rounded and fit nicely. There is some gap around the rearview mirror that some have complained about, but it is tolerable in my opinion or it would be difficult to install.

A Master of Arts in Teaching Online Degree Often Leads to a "Pay Bump"
There are a few states—Florida, Indiana, and Louisiana to name a few—that have dispensed with the automatic "pay bump" for teachers who have earned their MAT degree. That's true. However, most states still value advanced degrees and reward teachers for earning them.
Take the state of Michigan, for example. According to a 2013 study by the National Center for Education Statistics, Michigan teachers with five or less years of teaching experience who have earned an online Masters of Arts in Teaching degree earn $16,000 a year more than teachers who only have a bachelor's degree.
An Online Masters of Arts in Teaching Degree Earns You Respect
The fact that you, of your own volition, decided to devote yourself to at least two additional years of schooling and took on the costs of an advanced degree says a lot about you: Not only are you devoted to your students, your profession, and to the pursuit of knowledge, you are someone who enjoys taking on challenges and succeeding at them.
An Online Masters of Art in Teaching Can Expand Your Career
While an advanced degree will certainly enrich your experience in the classroom, it can also lead to a variety of exciting career possibilities for those who see their career in education extending beyond the classroom.
Twenty years ago, a bachelor's degree was the minimum degree requirement for counselors, academic advisers, and a variety of other positions in the field of education. But ladies and gentlemen, as Bob Dylan famously put it, "the times, they are a changin'."
These days, applicants for these same positions must hold, at minimum, a master's degree. If you would like to teach at the college level, become an academic adviser, become an educational technology specialist, or a curriculum developer for example, you will have to pony up and earn a master's degree.
Earning an Online Master of Arts in Teaching Degree is Incredibly Satisfying
While an advanced degree certainly has a professional and monetary payoff, we find it hard to put a price tag on the rewards of being a graduate student.
As a graduate student, you will engage with experts in your field; you will have the opportunity to learn from your peers—that is, other teachers who know what it's like to be "in the trenches" every day; you will also be exposed to current research, teaching practices and methodologies that you can use in your own classroom right away. If that isn't valuable…if that's not something to be satisfied with, we don't know what is.
Earning a Masters of Art in Teaching Online is a Transformative Experience
This point is really an extension of the previous one. Graduate school often has a transformative effect on students. Graduate school has the capacity to alter the way teachers see themselves, the world, their classrooms, and their own students. If you go into the program with humility, an open mind, and an appetite for a good challenge, you will reap the benefits and, very likely, see yourself transformed.

Discussion in 'Linea 1.4 T-Jet' started by PatchyBoy, Sep 2, 2012.
Congrats for your New Ride Patchy Boy...
Cheers :up
Congratulations on the Jet PatchyBoy! Are Alloys planned?
Congrats on your beauty...how is the eco-drive working??
Thanks guys.
@carwatcher - Already did
@saharsh - Alloys and a lot more are planned. But it is going to take some time. Just started saving for that
@wolverine_arnab - Not too sure about the eco drive thingie. It tells me that my best journey is the last 1.3 kms from the Bakery in the corner. There are 4 speed breakers in that stretch and I can barely touch 40 kmph. If that kind of drive is what it is going to take, damn the milage. It is a T-Jet, afterall
Congrats for your beast ! Happy and safe motoring... Do keep updating ownership reviews and pics
Welcome to the club @patchy_boy!!!
It sure is a machine where.. you can actually say that when you want a T-Jet, you want only a T-Jet. Period!!!!
Milage... while for sometime I have been orienting myself alot on milage, believe me when I say that FE is not the end of the road...
With a jet, keep milage secondary and pleasure on top...
(thanks for opening my eyes to this approach @nkapoor & @gurjinder)
The TJet is not meant to be driven with a light foot. It is meant for some hard driving and then taking a look in the rear view - seeing everyone behind make you feel that everyone else is so sloe
Congrats on your T-JET Rajan Sir.
Thanks guys. Sorry if I have conveyed a wrong impression that I am fussy about the famous "Kitna deti hai?" question. If I indeed were, then I would have never bought the T-Jet, right?
My contention is very simple. The daily commute to work - 17 kms one way - is hardly the kind of route where you can get the T-Jet to stretch her legs. So, try and extract as much as you can with every drop of fuel. Gives you more reason to red line in every gear on that highway drive, doesn't it?
BTW, just did that today . Was taking a right turn with this Polo approaching. There was safe distance, but the Polo driver decided to accelerate and also started honking. All I had to do was, just push the A pedal a bit more. He was left in the dust and I could not help but grin
Hey congrats for your new car...
but by the way what is the make of the trekking bike with your ride????

Dalai Lama dismisses Chinese threat
The Dalai Lama has brushed aside a reported threat by China to withdraw their Olympic athletes from a training camp in response to a planned speech as "almost routine".
The Tibetan spiritual leader made the comment during the launch of his 10-day visit to the UK which will see him pass on a message of non-violence, dialogue and universal responsibility.
Chinese officials asked Leeds City Council to pressure organisers into cancelling his visit to the Yorkshire Business Convention, the BBC reported earlier this week.
The council distanced itself from the convention in Leeds but said it was aware of "sensitivities" around the event.
Chinese Olympic officials selected Leeds as the country's training base last August.
Around 300 athletes, coaches and support staff representing China in at least 11 sports will be based there as they acclimatise to English conditions.
After his press launch in Manchester, the Dalai Lama was moving on to Leeds to make an address on the subject of ethics in business, followed by a question and answer session, and then talks with students at the convention centre.
Asked about his thoughts on the reported threat, he replied: "That is always happening, that is almost like routine."
His latest tour of Britain aims to spread the 76-year-old Buddhist's teachings of peace and understanding to youngsters and he will appear with actor and comedian Russell Brand at a youth event in Manchester on Saturday.
Brand will act as a master of ceremonies at Manchester Arena when the Dalai Lama addresses thousands of young people, giving a talk entitled Century of Dialogue - Stand up and Be the Change.


text: You may not be able to remember the last time you read the Declaration of Independence but I bet you remember certain phrases like We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights or maybe that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So the Declaration of Independence says a lot about our naturally given human rights and the rights of the people to preserve those rights.

2nd District Democrat Rep Brad Ashford was apparently not part of the Democrat sleep over on the floor of the House of Representatives last night.
But Ashford says he was with them in spirit.
Ashford says he wants to, "prohibit suspected terrorists on the federal 'no fly' list from purchasing weapons that can be used to commit acts of violence against innocent civilians."
He goes on to say, "Keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists is a commonsense way to strengthen our national security and ensure that acts of violence are not perpetrated on our communities."
But that isn't what the proposed bill does.
People on the No-Fly list aren't "terrorists".
They are people put on a list.
Some for good reasons. Some for NOT good reasons.
And the "not good reasons" part is why we have the 5th & 14th Amendments — the government can't just deny a right (in this case, the 2nd Amednment) without due process. A bureaucrat putting you on a list, generally does not rise to that.
So it would be a nice idea for Ashford to consider what happens when you start to deny Constitutional rights just because someone is on a secret list.
Because you never know what will happen once you find YOURSELF on a list.
And then find out what rights Brad Ashford says you no longer have.
"I don't think I was ready to be chair."
Very interesting follow-up on Jane Kleeb's Bernie Bros embarrassment at the NDP convention.
Finally, the OWH wrote about it — and the Los Angeles Times picked it up as well — and how the Bernie Bros were sooooooo sorry about what happened.
They claim it was a misunderstanding, and uh…. the Latino activist, Marta Nieves, they toppled will be reinstated.
But let's hear HER side of it:
There was an attempt to put in place a person in the key leadership of the Latino Caucus through a less than procedurally proper manner. Non- members took over the process and elected someone who had never been a part of the caucus and had no knowledge of the positive, effective nature of the caucus leadership and function. This same plan was carried out through out the State Convention.
Now if you only read the LJS, you haven't seen any of this, so Leavenworth St. is happy to help you.
Then again, the LJS did quote Jane before she changed her mind about running for chair:
"I know I need to learn the inner workings of the party before I would lead it."
Looks like she was right.
President Obama's confusion about what the Supreme Court does would be cute if he weren't a lawyer.
So what's shameless about the President is that he knows better. He says that the Supreme Court of the United States is somehow making a decision based on their social beliefs — or what the country is "supposed to be like".
What a freaking crock.
It is Congress's job to make laws. It is the President's job to carry them out.
But in the end, the laws — and the edicts from the President — HAVE TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION. If they don't, SCOTUS tells them to knock it off.
The President may think it would be awesome to make Shintoism the religion of the country. He may think that is what our country needs.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court would strike down such a Presidential edict.
And the gist of the recent Supreme Court ruling is also, that the President's executive action here is an overreach of his executive authority.
So the President saying, "This ruling isn't what our country should look like…" is actually, "The court won't let ME decide what the laws are."
Mind you, the President makes great exasperations about "the country we aspire to be," but the courts here aren't addressing that.
What they do address is Obama's ability, under the Constitution, to decide unilaterally, what the laws should be and how they should operate.
And oh by the way, this decision, which looks at the Separation of Powers between the President and Congress, will come back to the SCOTUS…after the next President picks the next justice.
And President Obama is crying that if only Judge Garland could be confirmed by the Senate. he could get his way.
In case you were wondering how important the election is.
Keep it up

A "tanuki" is an animal that often appears throughout anime like The Eccentric Family (Uchōten Kazoku) and Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (Gekkan Shojo Nozaki-kun). But because it doesn't live in places like the North America or Europe, some viewers don't really know what a tanuki is. Is it a raccoon? Is it a badger? No, a tanuki is, well, a tanuki, and it has a lot of cultural history in Japan.
First, let's start out with the real animal itself. The tanuki may also be known as the Japanese raccoon dog or the nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus. This species of raccoon dog only lives in Japan, as opposed to the plain old raccoon dog which lives in regions of Eastern Asia, including China and Siberia. Japanese raccoon dogs are usually a bit larger than the racoons seen in North America, measuring an average of 60cm in length. However, they have a shorter set of legs and tail than the North American raccoon. The raccoon dogs are also missing the trademark mask marking of Northern raccoons.
Although the two are called "raccoons" and belong to the same order (Carnivora), there is nothing else that relates them as a species. Despite this, the tanuki has often been mistranslated as raccoon or badger, like in the famous Ghibli film Pom Poko.

Aside from being fluffy mascots, tanuki have a deep connection to Japanese folklore. There are many tales about tanuki using leaves to transform not just into people, but also into objects, which is why in The Eccentric Family, you can often see the tanuki in the show changing into human form, but also into things like lucky cat statues. (As a sidenote, this is also why Mario in the Super Mario series of games transforms into his tanuki suit form with the help of a leaf.)
Sometimes, they transform themselves into different objects to cause trouble. In one tale, for example, a tanuki transforms into kettle for a farmer to sell after being saved from a hunter's trap as thanks, but it turns out that kettles are meant to be filled with hot water! If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen they say, so the kettle sprouts tanuki legs and arms and skedaddles.
アニメ「有頂天家族2」公式アカウント on Twitter
In folklore, tanuki also have the power to create illusions. They play pranks on farmers and fishermen and others by making people think that leaves are dollars or that fish nets are full with fish when in fact, they're empty. In fact, tanuki are famous to be such tricksters that the word "tanuki" is also used as an insult in Japanese to refer to someone who is sly and/or sneaky.
Eccentric Family 2🐾 on Twitter
Despite their mischievous nature, tanuki are also used as a symbol of wealth and luck in Japan. In front of some restaurants and bars, you might find large statues of tanuki, which started appearing in Japan in the 1900's.
If you look closely, you might notice that the tanuki statues have giant testicles. Yes, testicles. In folktales, it's said that tanuki were able to stretch these magical balls out into boats and other objects. Although of course tanuki scrotums aren't that big, Japanese craftsmen used to wrap gold in tanuki scrotum skin because of its supposed elasticity and strength in order to hammer the gold into gold leaf. Combined with the slang word for balls—kintama, literally "gold balls"—this use of the tanuki lead to the creature becoming a representation of wealth.
アニメ「有頂天家族2」公式アカウント on Twitter
Dont' have enough tanuki in your life? Some anime that feature tanuki include The Eccentric Family, Gugure! Kokkuri-san, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Inuyasha, Poco's Udon World, and Pom Poko.
The second season of The Eccentric Family will premiere on Japanese television on April 9. Crunchyroll will stream the anime with English subtitles as it airs. Season 1 of the anime is not currently available for streaming, but NIS America released the first season on Blu-ray in 2015.

When people really matter to me, I tend to not make a big deal of them, holding them closer to my heart, and much more quietly. I can make a big hubbub and stink about those who don't matter, but the ones that do I trust to know enough and not feel slighted. Andy and I have that sort of relationship. It's not a big bombastic in-your-face show, because it means more than hype and hoopla to us. However, he does have his own category on this site, and I've referenced him hundreds of times because he's a main part of my life, even if I don't always make a fuss.
Within his category are number of stories that I've written and posted over the years. From the obtaining of a wedding license to a rumination on all that's happened since the day we met ~ from the wedding ceremony to what being married might really mean ~ from ensuing anniversaries to birthdays in Maine, it's been a wild and wonderful ride.

Uwol is a greedy little chappy. Not contend with earning millions by selling retro videogames, he wants more. He hears of a millionaire who has hidden a vast amount of gold coins. Unfortunately, the coins seem to have dispersed all around the huge dungeons of the millionaire's manor, which houses some unwelcome hosts. Yep, you guessed it, this is a search, "borrow" and scarper mission, with an undenaiable Mojon Twins' wit thrown in for good measure. Uwol, Quest For Money is a 128k only game that takes advantage of the modified ULA present in emulators such as ZX Spin. The game's instructions and download can be found at the Mojon Twins' website.

More recently, I've been wishing my life could be like a romance anime >~< Everything just seems to go so perfectly and the feelings are always so genuine. I know it's fiction, but I was curious if anyone else ever felt the same way.
Most Helpful Guy
Maybe just a little.
In general, I should be very happy with my love life - and I am. I've been dating a girl for 6 years now and everything is still absolutely perfect. Our love is still extremely strong and I know she's the type of person who will always be there for me, no matter what. We've been through a lot together and things have always worked out. In some sense, my love life IS one of those cheesy romance animes or movies. We also plan to get married in the near future.
However, there's one predicament. If I could choose, I would still want my perfect love but I would've also loved to get the opportunity to experience sex with a few other girls. I'm almost 28 now and I've only had sex with this one girl. Plus, since we are probably going to be married, I might only have sex with this one woman for my whole life. Our sex life is good but I can't deny that I'd love to have sexual fun with some other people as well.
Most young people have a phase of being wild and kinky before finding the right person and settling down. I never had this phase and instead I found my perfect girl very early on. I think that's generally really awesome but now that we've been together for a long time and the initial "honeymoon-phase" is over, I also sometimes get a little envious when I hear other people talking about their fuck buddies and one night stands and whatnot.10|10|0
That feeling will never quite go away. I had my sexual escapades in my youth but arrived at the same point. The desire for variety won't go away even if you slept with dozens of girls in the past. If you really love your girl though, you'll find that to be a much rarer thing, and something worth resisting those temptations to keep.
Not having known anything else might seem worse but not necessarily. It's like if you only had one type of food all your life, you might be envious about those who tried many other types of food. However, in my case, it's like I've tried all kinds of food, and had to then pick a favorite and stick to that for the rest of my life. That desire for variety doesn't go away, ever, but the love and affection you have for your wife can make you overcome it.

it's going good right now, hope it keeps going this way10|10|0

Aesop's Fable of the Frogs
The Frogs time out of mind
Lived uncontroll'd.
Their form of government was undefined,
But reasons, strong and manifold,
Which then were given,
Induced them to demand a King from Heaven.
Jove heard the prayer, and to fulfil it,
Threw them down a Log or Billet:
The Prince arrived with such a dash,
Coming down to take possession;
Frogs are easy to abash,
Their valour is diluted with discretion,--
In a word, their hearts forsook them:
That instant they dissolved the Session,
Choosing the shortest way that took them
Down to the bottom of the Bog,--
Not one remained to cry, "God save King Log.'
There was an ancient flap-chapp'd Peer,
Nobly born
Of the best spawn;
At first he kept aloof from fear,
Waiting the close of all this storm,
Till things should take some settled form--
Like a great vassal
In his castle,
With full-blown bags,
Intrench'd with lofty bulrushes and flags.
A wish to gain the sovereign's ear
Made him draw near;
He saw him where he lay in state
With a solidity and weight
That bespoke him truly great.
Then came a shoal in quest of posts and charges,
Much like our ancient courtiers with their barges,
They ventured barely within reach--
The Chancellor discharged a speech:
They waited for his majesty's reply,--
They waited a long, tedious, awkward space,
Then stared each other in the face,
And drew more nigh,--
Till growing bolder,
They leap'd upon the back and shoulder
Of their Stadholder.
The worthy monarch all that while
Was never seen to frown or smile,
He never look'd, he never stirr'd,--
He never spoke a single word,
Bad or good.
It seem'd as if he never heard
Nor understood.
The Frogs, like Russian nobles in such cases,
Reading each others' meaning in their faces,
Proceeded to the monarch's deposition,--
This act was follow'd by preferring
A new Petition
For a new Prince more active and more stirring.
The prayer was heard;
To make quick work,
Jove sent them down the Stork,
First cousin to the Secretary Bird.
His forte was business and despatch:
At the first snatch
He swallow'd the Polonius of the Pool;
Then following Machiavelli's rule,
He fell upon the poor Marsh-landers,
Conscribing all that he could catch,
Trampling them down into the mud,
Confiscating their guts and blood,
Like a French Prefect sent to Flanders.
The wretched Frogs in their despair
Renew'd their prayer;
And Jove in answer thunder'd this decree,--
"Since you could not agree
To live content and free,
I sent you down a King of the best wood,
Suited to your pacific brood;
Your foolish pride
Set him aside;
This second was intended for a curse,--
Be satisfied--or I shall find a worse.'

Ruby Yeh
Founder, Yinspire Media
"I have a publishing company in the personal growth field, so I am familiar with the work of many of the top trainers and coaches. Until I met Donna Root, I was never interested in working with a coach. The thing that struck me about Donna was her depth of knowledge of spiritual principles and the science of Consciousness.

L.W. Wise
CEO, WealthWise, LLC
"Both my husband and I have taken multiple business-development or personal development courses over the last 8 years, at least a dozen or more. From Breakthroughs to Success, Personal Mastery and Advanced Personal Mastery, to the Millionaire Mind program from Harv Eckert and being certified in his Train the Trainer program - we've done it all. These programs have helped us to peel back and recognize some of the beliefs we have that are no longer serving us. However, nothing has been as amazing as The Inner Architect Program. After years of personal-development, we've finally found the key to literally getting rid of, not just uncovering, limiting beliefs that have kept us from personal, financial, and professional success."
D.C Cordova
CEO, Excellerated Business School
"Donna is an accomplished teacher, presenter and thought leader in interpersonal development and corporate growth and development. Her ability to communicate complex principles in a simple and straight forward manner using cutting edge methods and proven processes has helped me both personally and professionally. Her work with individuals and companies around the world is simply transformational. If you want to see greater results in productivity, creativity, focus, and direction... don't wait. Hire Donna now!"
Chaunine Landou
"Working with Donna Root in her coaching and training techniques has been such a joy. Donna has lovingly crafted a method of carefully walking you down the path of enlightenment in a way that carefully and thoroughly teaches you the concepts and sciences that are the foundation of the life changing skills she is teaching you.
She has a sincere and fervent love for others that drives her enthusiastic approach to mapping a way for you to learn to live a successful, fulfilling life with love, sincerely and courage.
I walked away from Donna's coaching armed with valid, effective tools in my belt that I had practice using. My life is a better, more fulfilling, loving experience because of the time I have spent with Donna. When bumps in the road happen, as they do, I have confidence in myself and a powerful knowing that I absolutely can do something about it and have the skills to handle it, no matter what the situation may be.
Her devotion to God only makes her more powerful in her practice. You never feel like you have to believe in the same spiritual doctrines that she does but at the same time you cannot deny that a Divine Power that connects us all is at the heart of her work.
She is a natural teacher, which shines though in her coaching because her focus is that you be set free so that you can fly on your own and not be depended on years of therapy, medication or support groups.
Thank you Donna, for everything. With much love,"
Wynton Dunford
Founder/CEO Mederec
"Donna Root is a woman of action. She is a woman of keen insight. She is a woman of tireless energy. Donna is a woman of personal experience of overcoming some of life's greatest challenges through which she has learned the secrets of health, prosperity and joy. Donna is a passionate teacher who lives what she teaches and is committed to making an impact on the world through her teaching. I have had and continue to have great learning and coaching from her that has changed my life and the lives of my family."
Calli Lewis
Certified Inner Architect Trainer
"Working with Donna as my coach has been one of the most transformational experiences of my life.
I had previously worked with many gifted coaches but none of them were able to hand me the tools that allowed me to completely transform my life.
Donna's coaching allowed me the freedom to discover what my own personal truth is. There is not one day that goes by in my life that I am not putting to use at least one of the tools that I learned from coaching with her. I have been able to not only overcome but find incredible joy through experiences that before coaching with her would have been incredibly painful and difficult. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to have met and coached with this incredible human."
K. Sage

Man Sentenced For Killing Cabbie In Hit-And-RunOctober 25, 2006 No Comments
10/25/06 Channel10.com
Judge Sentences Former USD Football Player To More Than Nine Years
SAN DIEGO — A mortgage broker who was on probation for drunken driving when he drove through a stop sign in Pacific Beach after an evening of partying, killing a cabbie, was sentenced today to more than nine years in state prison.
Anthony Valanos, 26, pleaded guilty Aug. 30 to vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and admitted a hit-and-run allegation in the March 25 death of Zeki Mohammed Tovi. Valanos, who was immediately taken into custody, could have gotten up to 11 years in state prison.
Valanos pleaded guilty to non-alcohol-related vehicular manslaughter and a hit-and-run allegation that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim. Charges of second-degree murder, driving under the influence and filing a false police report were dismissed under the plea deal.
Defense attorney Myles Berman said alcohol played no role in the fatal accident. But the judge, who sentenced Valanos to the middle term of four years on the manslaughter charge and added five years for fleeing the scene, disagreed. "There is no question that alcohol was involved in this," Wellington said. The judge said Valanos was for the most part a responsible young man with a potentially bright future, but who has a "significant problem with alcohol." The defendant's domestic life centered around "drinking and partying," the judge said.
The victim was killed when Valanos, a former University of San Diego football player, ran through a stop sign at Thomas Avenue and Haines Street in his BMW sport utility vehicle about 12:45 a.m. Adam Combs testified at an earlier hearing that he, Valanos and other friends had about seven to eight drinks at a bar, including whiskey, beer and shots of liqueur, before leaving sometime after 12:30 a.m. Combs, the front seat passenger, testified that he told Valanos to slow down after the defendant accelerated out of a parking lot across from the bar. The witness said Valanos ran the stop sign at Thomas and Haines at about 50 mph. Combs testified that he thought he and his friends should call the police after the crash, but they ended up walking away. The witness, along with Valanos and another friend, took a cab to his home in Point Loma, and Valanos stayed the night. The next day, Valanos told police his car was stolen from the bar and he and his friends took a cab home, Combs testified. Combs said he later told police the truth about what happened.
Wellington said Valanos and his friends had expressed concern about drinking and driving before going to the bar, yet they still headed out in the defendant's car. Wellington said he was not impressed by the defendant's argument that the crash was not alcohol related and was caused by excessive speed. If the crash was caused by speeding, Valanos exhibited a "sobering disregard for human life" by leaving the victim in the street to die, the judge said. "(Valanos) was enjoying himself behind the wheel at a high speed," Wellington told the packed courtroom.
Deputy District Attorney Sophia Roach, who unsuccessfully argued for the maximum prison term, said the victim — a father of four boys ages 4 through 17 — was particularly vulnerable. "He was blindsided, broadsided and killed," the prosecutor told the judge. Roach argued the defendant had a lengthy history of traffic violations, and said Valanos ran at least two stop signs before crashing into Tovi's cab. "His driving was so out of control," the prosecutor said. Roach criticized Valanos for telling a probation officer that the crash was "just a mistake." She said Tovi, who fled Iraq in 1988 and came to the United States in 1993, had been a cab driver for six years and before that, worked as a driving instructor.
Valanos didn't have the "humanity" to stop and try to save the victim, the prosecutor said.
Kevin Hooker, who lives in the area, said the crash sounded "like two trains colliding." "What I saw will be etched in my mind forever," Hooker said. "The thought that has haunted me is … how could someone just leave?"
Mehdi Tovi, the victim's oldest son, said Valanos should get the maximum prison term for what he did. "There are no words to describe how it feels to bury a father," the 17-year-old said. "Mr. Valanos has scarred us for life. My family has to pay for what he's done. So should he."
Michael Valanos, the defendant's father, said his son is a "good, forthright man," who put himself through school and was driven to succeed. Valanos' mother, Cindi Rhorer, said her son was devoted to his family, and the events surrounding the fatal crash were out of character for him Rhorer said she could only imagine the panic and confusion her son must have felt as he walked away from the scene. "I know that Anthony will be tormented by the fact that a man died," his mother said.
The defendant apologized to the victim's family and read a short statement, expressing his remorse. Valanos said the night of the crash was the "worst day of my life" and was an unplanned event that "I would not wish on anyone." The only true justice would be if he could trade places with the victim, Valanos said.
Berman said Valanos found himself in a surreal environment after the collision and panic and disorientation led him to walk away from the crash scene. The defense attorney unsuccessfully argued for the low term of seven years in prison.
"Seven years is deterrent. Seven years is punishment. Seven years will send a message," Berman told the judge.Assault, Drunk Drivers

Caterpillars are the beginning of a creature many of us have grown to marvel at. Seeing as these creatures develop into butterflies, growing up with a fear of caterpillars is uncommon, but in the local deserts of Southern Arizona, tent caterpillars are setting up camp, literally everywhere! This invasion is quite the sight to see as the caterpillars weave a giant silk encampment in between tree branches. Each cocoon houses several caterpillars. The caterpillar homes are white with black spots, which are just caterpillar poop, but do add to the unpleasantness of the sight. This behavior is not abnormal in tent caterpillars. These caterpillars are social and tend to stay together in small populations and build their weird looking homes. What is abnormal this summer is the unusually high number of "camps" that have been set up in Southern Arizona deserts and forests. They're literally seen everywhere and have begun to stir things up among the local public.
People's Reactions
Would walking into what looks like a "science-fiction movie" scare you? It definitely creeped out some people. According to John Palting of the University Of Arizona Department Of Entomology, "A lot of people are creeped out by it – but it's just caterpillars and a bunch of silk and caterpillar poop."
Whether it's really a sci-fi movie or just nature, many are still having mixed feelings about the critters. Pamela Selby-Harmon, officer in charge of the post office in the mountain village of Summerhaven, describes her feelings as, "They are kind of cool and kind of creepy, all at the same time."
She further explains it as "… one of those love-hate relationships. You love the caterpillars, but you don't like to see damage to the trees. But Mother Nature has a lot more going on than we do as far as planning."
Effect on Environment/Ecosystem
So what does Mother Nature have planned for these tent caterpillars and the surrounding environment?
Palting says he "[hasn't] seen it where they kill a tree. They take the first crop of leaves, and the trees leaf out again." Thankfully, Miss Selby-Harmon has nothing to worry about in regards to the trees.
He also states, "The tents will probably break down with the summer rains and be pretty much gone by midsummer." Meanwhile, "the population explosion generally means that the parasites will also have a good year and take the population back down. Such are the checks and balances of nature."
So where there are a lot of caterpillars, there are a lot of caterpillar predators, and Mother Nature has the situation under control, and we will hopefully be able to avoid be part of a real sci-fi experience.

My guest today is urban fantasy author Sonya Bateman. The second book in her Gavyn Donatti series, Master and Apprentice, hits bookshelves on March 29, 2011. Please join me in welcoming Sonya here today to Dark Faerie Tales. You can read the first chapter from Master and Apprentice here.
Thanks to Simon & Schuster, two lucky commentators will have a chance to win a copy of Master and Apprentice. As always, details are listed at the end of the post.
Author Bio:
In addition to spending a lot of time writing, she is attempting to learn how to speak Japanese. So far, she can say hello, thank you, and why don't we go to your place for a drink? She does not plan to speak to any native Japanese speakers with her limited vocabulary at this time, as the conversation may lead in the wrong direction.
Welcome Sonya!
Having your own genie: Not really all that great
by Sonya Bateman
Wouldn't it be awesome to have your own personal genie? Someone to call you Master, grant your wishes, rub your feet after a long day of stealing (or whatever it is you do all day) – a magical slave who's happy to help you out whenever you need it. Sounds amazing, right?
Maybe not. Especially if the genie in question happens to think granting wishes is a ridiculous waste of magic, has an agenda of his own and isn't above using you to meet it, and generally hates humans – particularly you. This is the type of djinn (not genie; he hates that word) I gave to my main character, the unlucky thief Gavyn Donatti, in my urban fantasy series that starts with MASTER OF NONE.
Donatti wasn't too pleased with this. He was hoping for the genie of lollipops and happiness… or at least a female. Instead, he got Ian, who happens to be his great-great-great grandfather (with a few more greats thrown in) and unfortunately needs to keep him around.
When I started this series, I wanted to do something like a modern-day twist on Aladdin. But I didn't want a fun-loving, wisecracking genie. I wanted dark – more like Jafar than the big blue guy. Fortunately, traditional djinn mythology supported my desires. The djinn were originally beings made from fire, practically demons, and pretty nasty. They were tricksters. Wishing for something from them was a risky proposition, because they would twist the meaning of your words to make something bad happen.
For example: let's say you wished to be happy for the rest of your life. These djinn would give you a big pile of money, and then stab you to death while you're still smiling about it – therefore making you happy for the rest of your (very brief) life.
I also wanted bad djinn and not-quite-as-bad djinn. So another change I made to the djinn mythos was to divide them into clans. Djinn are shapeshifters as well as magical creatures, so I twisted the ability around a bit and named the clans after animals, with the djinn being able to shift into their clan's representative beast. Ian, the main djinn, is from the wolf clan. Other clans include snake, hawk, and fox.
So I was going for Aladdin, adult style. But somewhere along the line, the story shifted (as stories are wont to do) – and what I ended up with was kind of an anti-buddy-cop story. Sort of buddy vigilantes. Donatti and Ian save the day, rather illegally, and pretty much hating each other the whole time. It was a fun story to tell.
By the second book, MASTER AND APPRENTICE, the animosity levels have receded somewhat. But the two of them still have plenty to fight about, and Donatti is no better off for having his own personal genie. In fact, it might be worse. Ian, being the secretive sort, finally gets around to telling Donatti about the deadly family curse. Then, while they're being chased by a bloodthirsty cult of half-djinn, Ian manages to get himself kidnapped, leaving the weaker, inexperienced Donatti to fend for himself.
It's not easy having a genie. Especially when most of the other genies want to kill yours – and you by association.

Remember I promised I'd share the last (and best) day from Sofia Architecture Week? Well, here it is. The last day was called Open Doors Day and some of the best architecture studios in my country opened their doors for us. It was so great to see what those young and talented people have on their bookshelves, how their inspiration walls look like and most important of all - meet them and talk with them about architecture.
The first place we went to was Aedes Studio. We actually kind of knew one of the architects in the studio because he is assistant at our university and we got to work with him for one semester.
Their studio was in an old building and it was very cozy. Lots of fun! Take a look :)
Here are some of their projects:
A hotel in Borovetz
Apartment building in Sofia
"Jaklyn" - another apartment building in Sofia. It got nominated for Mies van der Rohe Award for 2009. (Congrats!!)
An interior for Sofbuild - they did a really good job there!
Pictures by Mihail Novakov and the ones of their projects - from Aedes Studio's website
