When's the last time you met, had a brief conversation and exchanged cards with 20 professionals in 60 minutes? As a scientist, do you find it difficult to talk your way through a crowd? When it comes to networking, do you have the need for speed? Then maybe speed networking is for you! At last week's SDBN event our members had the opportunity to meet one potential customer, referral, collaborator, qualified candidate, possible employer after another. Here's how it worked.
Prior to starting, we gave a brief presentation describing what the next hour was gong to look like. Tables were arranged into a large 'U' shape with chairs on each side (members facing each other, see photos on Flickr for more details). A diagram explained that the people sitting on the outside of the 'U' were going to stay in their seats while those on the inside would move one seat to their right upon hearing a cue. The four basic guidelines were…
- You have 3 minutes total – Why three? Two is too little and five… well that would be too much. We knew that participants would be fried after 60 minutes and we wanted everyone to connect with at least 20 other professionals so… we landed on 3 minutes.
- Introduce yourself – Allow each person to introduce themselves before starting the conversation.
- Refine your message – We asked the participants to think about what they wanted to walk away with that night. Was it a contact name at a company they are seeking employment with? A collaborative partner for a project they are working on? Maybe to increase their LinkedIn professional network? Whatever their goal, it needed to be the main message in these brief conversations.
- Have fun – What's the point if no one is having a good time!
With participants facing each other, guidelines in place and stopwatch in hand, we were ready to begin. "Your three minutes starts.. NOW!" The room was singing with energy and all 82 participants were engaged. As promised, at the end of the 3-minute cycle we prompted the room to "rotate"… 3 minutes later "rotate" and then again to "roooootate"… you get the picture.
One very short hour later we called the last "rotate" and asked participants to conclude their final conversation. So what ensued after the 60-minute speed networking session… more networking! Could it be that this type of exercise helps you feel more comfortable talking to strangers, communicating a business need and building your social capital? YES!
The post session comments have lead us to believe that this was a very successful event and one that our members would like to participate in again. What are your thoughts? Did you meet anyone that will help you further a professional goal? Did the overall event meet your expectations? How can we improve next time?
Special thanks to Fiona Godsman of Nexxus Scotland for the idea.

I was reminded about the benefits of beeswax when reading Caity's post the other day. She was talking about the new Clover Yo-Yo maker (which I want but have avoided buying - what on earth am I going to do with yo-yos? But that's another story.) and shared her tips for using beeswax.
I too, use beeswax for all of my handwork. A light drag through the wax keeps thread from tangling and makes it much easier to thread the needle. I also doesn't leave any residue or otherwise interfere with the fabric (unless, of course, you use too much).
I do have one strict rule about beeswax, however. You really should use the real thing. Years ago I started out with the nasty pale yellow stuff in the plastic case in the notions department, because that was all I could find. It was frustrating to use because it crumbled and broke and little bits leaked out of the plastic container all over my sewing box and elsewhere. YUCK. Do you know why it does that? Well, it contains very little beeswax - it's beeswax mixed with paraffin to extend it.
Now paraffin won't hurt anything, but why go to all that trouble and mess? Natural beeswax has a gorgeous honey hue (see above - pure Maui beeswax!) and even has a light honey scent. When I had my quilt shop I bought a couple of pounds from the local beekeeper, melted it down and poured it into candy molds for easy (and pretty!) handling. I kept a big jar of it near the register and sold it by the piece. Now I have just a few pieces, but a piece like the one pictured above (approximately 2" across) will last you several years and won't break apart. It will just wear down to nothing, like a bar of soap.
Word of caution: if you buy your own beeswax and melt it down, be SURE to close your doors and windows! It will bring a HUGE swarm of bees who want their honey back. Ask me how I know. Despite that, it's fun to do and makes great gifts for your sewing friends.

text: DigitalALERT: Facebook Has Not Updated The Account AgreementBy Bilal Hameed|February 17, 2010 ShareBy Bilal Hameed|February 17, 2010 Share Facebook users are now a target of a new virus attack that is being spread through emails. Apparently Facebook users are getting emails with the title "Update Account Agreement". The email is pretended to be sent out by the Facebook Team and encourages the users to download an attached zip file, "agreement.zip". The email message has been cleverly drafted and banks on the latest privacy changes. It informs the users that due to the recent privacy changes, all users would have to submit a new account agreement to Facebook. The email then goes on to ask the users to unzip the attachment and run the "agreement.exe" file if they want their Facebook accounts to have unrestricted access to Facebook features.If a user falls for this trick, the exe installs a rogue antivirus Security Tool on the computer. Once installed the virus continues to display misleading virus infection messages, restarts the computer every now and then, prevents the users from running executable files and occasionally renders the computer unusable by displaying a blue screen of death.The full content of the email is pasted below:Dear Facebook user,Due to Facebook policy changes, all Facebook users must submit a new, updated account agreement, regardless of their original account start date. Accounts that do not sumit the updated account agreement by the deadline will have restricted access to Facebook.Please unzip the attached file and run "agreement.exe" by double-clicking it.Thanks,The Facebook TeamWe are all too familiar with these hoax mails from the days of Hotmail and Yahoo Mail, when users received such emails and had to follow certain instructions in order for their email accounts to remain active. With the popularity of Facebook, the malicious entities have now switched their focus towards the social networking giant.Panda Security Labs, a web security firm, has detected 16,000 Account Update email messages sent out to Facebook users since yesterday.The massive flooding of recent hoax chain message, regarding Automation Labs and the paranoia that it created, suggests that a large majority of Facebook users receiving such an email would likely fell for this trap.If Facebook would ever have to communicate with you, it would do so via a message in your Facebook message box, rather than an email message. Be advised and not to open any such email. Make sure to let your Facebook friends know about this latest threat as well. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kq32A2 copy Adweek Adweek

I like to complain about stuff.
Quite a lot actually.
It's not that I'm trying to be a negative person or a pain in the arse, ( I am both of those things but it's involuntary) it's just that I tend to get wound up by a lot of things happening in today's society. So much so that I need to vent and let it all out to the first person I see; whether that person is my wife, my neighbour or a crowded bus.
I need a release.
But instead of just ranting and moving on, I also want to try and solve, or at least lessen these issues, or maybe even find out if they are issues at all! It might just be me who has the particular problem I'm complaining about! (Wouldn't be the first time…)
Hopefully, this blog is the place to do it, as I'm sure my wife is preparing to leave me, my neighbour won't come out of the house any more, and I'm barred from travelling on the number 55 bus now (which is ridiculous; at least half of the bus agreed with me that the guy sitting at the back did look stupid with a tattoo on his face…)
So who am I?
I'm a nearly 40 year old man with a wife and two kids, a shit job and a mortgage. As of this writing I have no allergens that I am aware of.
So, if you want to read what the most average man in the world has to say about random shit, then follow this blog, and hopefully I'll get it off my chest for you.
Let's put the world to rights, one whinge at a time.

Bodies Found After House Fire
"CARTERSVILLE, GA — Authorities suspect foul play in a house fire Sunday that left two people dead.
"Bartow County Fire Department Battalion Chief David Levey said crews were called to 45 Westview Drive, Cartersville, at 10:42 a.m. Sunday.
"Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the blaze, which involved only about 24 percent of the structure, but the bodies of two males were found inside the home.
"Bartow County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jonathan Rogers said investigators are working with the state fire marshal's office to determine the cause of the fire, which appears suspicious.
"`It looks like arson was started inside the home,` Rogers said.
"It is possible the blaze began as part of a `homicide-suicide` based on evidence collected, Rogers said.
"Although family has been notified and authorities know two males resided at the house, the names of the deceased are not being released, pending positive identification. A male in his 30s living at the home had a reported history of mental health issues, according to Rogers."

From the back cover:
Big Wings, Fiery Halo
This is for everyone who ever wanted a really big flaming sword…
It's a new take on In Nomine—but it works. This book shows how perfectly the War between Heaven and Hell fits the "anime" style of art and fiction. Just shout "Gabriel's Flame of Vengeance!" and fry those evildoers…or serve the Demon Prince of Technology by building a giant mecha and piloting it against Heaven!
In Nomine Anime includes:
- Anime portrayals of all major Superiors
- The Choirs and Bands, as seen through the lens of anime
- Anime character stereotypes, and how they fit In Nomine
- HInts for in-genre roleplaying in either humorous or serious style
- Two complete campaign backgrounds
- Adventure seeds
So rise slowly into the air…assume your celestial form as your mortal garments vanish and music climaxes…and SMITE the foe!

It was announced last year that on October 2nd, 2009, there would be a 3-D re-release of Toy Story, followed by a re-release of Toy Story 2 in 3-D on February 12, 2010. Well, it was announced today at the ShoWest convention in Las Vegas, that both Toy Story films will now have a special two week run as a double bill in 3-D at selected theatres starting October 2nd. This will be leading up to the much anticipated release of Toy Story 3 3-D on June 18, 2010. A trailer for TS3 will likely be seen come Oct. 2nd. Now February 12th, 2010 will likely be seeing the 3-D re-release of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Hey friends sorry I haven't been posting lately, I've been cooking but not so much for myself. I'm having some stomach issues. But anyway for the Super Bowl I cooked for all my wonderful friends.
We had such a great time even though we crammed almost 20 people in our one bedroom apartment. We had a ton of game day snacks.
I wanted to make something yummy and pub like so I decided to make philly cheesesteak sliders since philly is basically our backyard here in south Jersey.
- 5 lbs of beef sirloin
- 1 32 oz container of beef broth
- 1 bottle of Italian dressing
- French onion soup/dip mix
- 3 yellow onions
- Steak seasoning
- 1/3 cup of worschestire
- 1/3 cup of steak sauce
- 3 bell peppers
- About 12 torpedo rolls
- Your choice of cheese
Put all of your ingredients in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours slice your steak, toast your rolls, drizzle that yummy marinade over your steak and peppers and onions and add cheese and melt it in the oven. Really that simple. Enjoy!

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) July 21, 2006
Newbridge Securities Corporation today announced the release of the third quarter 2006 issue of Inside Nanotechnology. This 32-page report is the ninth quarterly installment in the series, which covers general developments affecting the commercialization of nanotechnology and in-depth analysis of the 24 companies that constitute the Newbridge Nanotechnology Index (NNIX). In this issue, we examine the recall of a German cleaning product that was marketed as nanotech, but was later found to contain no nanoparticles. Also, we provide a follow-up on the IPO we profiled in our last issue, which subsequently took an interesting turn.
"Following a strong first quarter, the NNIX has recently pulled back in concert with the overall equity markets," said J. Andrew Braswell, Equity Analyst for Newbridge Research and lead author of Inside Nanotechnology. "Its 12.9% second quarter decline brought it back to flat year-to-date, and exceeded that of the Nasdaq (-7.1%) and Russell 2000 (-5.3%)." For each company, the report provides a recap of relevant news from the preceding quarter, along with analysis and commentary that helps investors discern the future leaders of this dynamic, emerging space. While the current universe of publicly traded, pure play nanotechnology companies remains relatively narrow, there are many exciting start-ups that appear poised for IPO's in the next few years. Furthermore, nano R&D initiatives ongoing at large, multinational corporations in industries such as chemicals and semiconductors are beginning to determine the competitive advantages of tomorrow. "Going forward, nanotechnology will become increasingly relevant to all investors, growth-oriented or otherwise," said Braswell.
About Newbridge Securities Corporation
Newbridge is a full-service securities brokerage firm (Member: NASD & SIPC) and a subsidiary of Newbridge Financial, Inc., an integrated financial services company. The Newbridge Institutional Research department specializes in the analysis and coverage of companies that have a strategic focus on nanotechnology.

As an illustrator, you would produce drawings, paintings or diagrams that help make products more attractive or easier to understand.
Illustrators typically create pictures for books, magazines, and other publications and for commercial products such as textiles, wrapping paper, stationery, greeting cards, and detailed technical diagrams. Increasingly, illustrators are working in digital format, preparing work directly on a computer.
Evidence of appropriate talent and skill, displayed in an artist's portfolio, is an important factor used by art directors, clients, and others in deciding whether to hire an individual or to contract out work. The portfolio is a collection of handmade, computer-generated, photographic, or printed samples of the artist's best work.
Assembling a successful portfolio requires skills usually developed through postsecondary training in art or visual communications. Internships also provide excellent opportunities for artists to develop and enhance their portfolios.
Many professional illustrators have a degree in illustration or other art related degree subjects. If you are creative, have artistic talent and the determination to succeed you could still be successful in illustration without a degree.
You'll need to be creative while sticking to your customer's design brief. Time management is something you'll need to use when meeting publication or client deadlines.
Your work would typically include:
- discussing requirements or briefs with authors, editors or designers
- negotiating prices and time scales
- deciding on the right style for illustrations
- creating illustrations using hand drawing, painting or computer design packages
- speaking with the client and changing designs if necessary
- making sure the work is completed within set budgets and deadlines
You may be able to specialise in one type of illustration, such as heritage illustration, designing pictures for guidebooks, leaflets or maps for stately homes and castles. You might also work in educational illustration designing websites, leaflets and publications for an academic institution.
If you work freelance as a self-employed illustrator you will need business skills so you can market your goods and services. You'll also need to develop the skills to deal with your own finances and build up and promote your own business.

Lance Hamel didn't know why another driver was following him through North Portland, honking his horn and waving his hands into the air.
But Hamel knew better than to stop. So he drove to his destination, which was a home he was remodeling.
The other driver -- Shawn Mitchell Brockway, 52 -- followed him there. He accused Hamel of failing to yield to two bicyclists. Hamel didn't remember seeing any cyclists. An argument ensued.
Brockway started to snap photos of Hamel; and Hamel stepped back to memorize Brockway's "Share the Road" license plates.
That's when Brockway got back in his car and accelerated, knocking the 38-year-old Hamel onto his hood and driving more than 100 feet before making a sharp turn that flung Hamel onto the pavement.
Brockway drove off. Hamel ended up with a fractured tibia and plenty of bruises.
On Thursday, Brockway offered no explanation for his outburst moments before Multnomah County Circuit Judge Kathleen Dailey approved a deal worked out by the prosecution and defense: 30 days in jail, anger-management counseling, an apology letter, $1,977 in restitution, three years of probation and a five-year driver's license suspension. Brockway must report to jail in two weeks to start serving his jail sentence.
When asked if he wished to speak, Brockway shook his head. "I think I'm OK," he said.
"Well, I don't think you're OK," the judge said. "When you carry someone on the hood of your car for 100 feet before you dump them off, something is not right. ...Frankly, Mr. Brockway, you're lucky you're not here on a manslaughter charge or a homicide charge. ...This is not how sane people conduct themselves."
told Brockway that he wasn't obligated to speak. But she urged him -- or his attorney -- to supply answers, such as how Brockway planned to write an apology letter when he was pleading no contest to third-degree assault. A no contest plea doesn't admit guilt, it only concedes that the prosecution would likely win its case at trial.
Brockway's attorney, Tom MacNair, didn't answer the judge's question. Neither did Brockway, although he did indicate that he didn't agree with the prosecution's version of facts. Prosecutor Chris Ramras was prepared to call on two City of Portland employees who'd seen all or part of the encounter. One employee said she saw Brockway purposely drive into Hamel.
Some time after the argument, Brockway called 9-1-1 to say that Hamel had jumped onto his car and tried to pry off his windshield wipers. The call made it easy for police to find Brockway -- because no one had gotten his license plate number.
Hamel, who came to court with his wife, said Brockway's conviction was vindication. "I felt like no one was believing me because it (the story) was so outrageous," he said.
He's grateful that he survived. He's seen his 14-year-old daughter start high school and his sister have twins. Although his fractured tibia has prevented him from climbing ladders, he's still been able to work.
"He (Brockway) didn't care that I'm the sole provider for my family," Hamel said.
He's had time to reflect on that day, Hamel said, "on how a normal day can suddenly go to hell really fast."

Judging the Royals
Have you heard the one about Steve Palermo and Bucky Dent?
George Brett on Steve Palermo's death: 'It just devastated me'
On Oct. 2, 1978, the Yankees and Red Sox played one game to determine the winner of the American League's East Division. The Sox and Yanks had finished with identical 99-63 records and one game would determine which team would go on.
That day the third-base umpire was a young man named Steve Palermo.
In the seventh inning, with the score 2-0 Sox, Bucky Dent hit a three-run homer to give the Yankees a lead they would never give back.
It was Steve's job to signal that Dent's home run was fair.
Steve was from Worcester, Mass., and he brought his dad along to the game that day and afterward they were sharing an uncomfortably silent ride home. Steve wasn't sure what the problem was until his dad turned to him and said:
"You couldn't have called it foul?"
I know that story because Steve Palermo spent a lot of time in the Kauffman Stadium press box and sat a few chairs down from me.
After Steve's on-field career ended, he worked as an umpire supervisor and was our go-to guy in the Kansas City press box; anytime there was a controversial ruling on the field, you'd see reporters come to Steve for an explanation.
I can't tell you how many times I walked over to ask Steve a single question and wound up watching several innings with him; he'd start telling stories and I was hooked.
And Steve was a master storyteller; he had impeccable comic timing and could sell a punchline with a pause and a look.
That's what I'll miss the most; those hours and hours of Steve Palermo stories.
Palermo's death was announced Sunday by Major League Baseball. He was 67.
I don't clearly remember the last time I saw him, but it was probably about the eighth inning of some Royals home game. Steve would leave early to beat the crowd, but always come by to say good night.
In baseball, they don't usually don't make a huge thing about goodbyes.
I once asked a player why baseball goodbyes were so low key and he said it was because in baseball they had to say goodbye so often. "See you next spring" and "travel safe" are about as emotional as some baseball goodbyes get. When a guy walks out the door, you always assume you'll see him again.
But sometimes a guy walks out the door and never comes back.
We got the news about Steve's death in the middle of Sunday's ballgame, and now I know there won't be any more Steve Palermo stories. Now every time I look to my right and see his empty chair, I'm going to miss him.
But I'm not going to make a big deal of it; after all, this is baseball.
If Steve's out there somewhere and knows what we say and think about him, I'll just tell him to travel safe.
And the next time I see him, he better have a good story to tell me.
Travel safe, Steve.

They had a really fun day. I was pleasantly surprised that Miss Stella went with her class and hung out with her teacher all day, even when Grandma tried to come get her. Maybe preschool won't be as hard as I thought this fall. Piper enjoyed the science experiments, and we talked about pandas on the way home. The giant whale was a big hit, even though I had to correct their learning that a whale is not a fish. They were able to walk inside the pretend MAMMAL and hear the story of Jonah.

My Daughter the Self-Dresser
The above is an article written by a former student's parent. I can totally relate. You see I too have a self-dresser.
Piper was the child who had an organizer in her closet. Each week I would pick out a set of outfits that included matching accessories. She kept them clean for the most part, and she looked cute. Stella still looks cute, but she is more likely to drip an ice cream cone down the front of her shirt, or get
grass stains on her knees. To complicate matters, Stella doesn't wear anything I pick out. She has her own agenda. One that typically includes a change of outfit every twenty minutes. Her preferred look is layers, lots of them. As in, maybe she should wear three poofy skirts at one time, a couple
different shirts, and a pair of cowboy boots. Now before you get the wrong idea, she is actually pretty good at coordinating her outfits. She figures out what colors go together, will match themes like holiday outfits, and so on. As I said in my email to the mom who wrote this article, Piper plays with dress up clothes, but Stella lives in them. She is my creative, free spirited, overly dramatic, and sensitive child.

Fairy Garden
I have wanted to make a fairy garden for a couple of years now. Thankfully I am blessed with daughters who are in love with fairies as much as I am. After dozens of pins on Pinterest, I finally got together some materials to make our very own fairy garden.
Piper is laying out the path of rocks.
A small pretend fairy to play with during the day.
Love the brooms
Here is the river we made.
We had a lot of fun picking out miniature plants for our garden.
Still a work in progress. We are working on the house that will go in the bare section in the back.
Planting the pumpkins in the garden.
I have some more accessories ordered that I am excited to add to the tub when they arrive. Check back soon!

It was quiet. Too quiet. You know the kind where you just know something is up. When both girls are this quiet, you know they have conspired something together. As they peeked at me around the corner of the garage, I could see the ice cream that was nonchalantly being devoured. As if they hadn't already had a Bomb Pop tonight. As if they had forgotten they weren't supposed to help themselves from the deep freezer. Erick swears he is putting a lock on it. For now, we let them savor their treat. And then, it wasn't quiet anymore. I could hear the arguing, the tattles, and their shared moment of conspiracy was over.
...until the next time.

Adhik Maas or Purushottam Maas is a special period of time in the Hindu calendar.Duration of Adhik Maas is from 17th June to 16th July 2015. It is an extra lunar month which occurs once every three years, as mentioned in the Vasishtha Siddhanta.
Adhik Mass, also known as Purushottam Maas or Mal Maas is a time when people are advised not to perform ceremonies like annaprashan, naamkaran and grah pravesh.This is because the strength of the effects of the Navgrahas is quite strong during this time.
It is a time for the purification of one's mind, body and soul, and for their sins to be absolved. If someone is affected by a particular dosh (mainly related to any of the Navgrahas), the Purushottam or Adhik Maas is the ideal time to get rid of it.

Gustavo Gomes
A Brazilian photographer has captured his wife's pregnancy and home birth in an intimate series of photos.
Gustavo Gomes took the shots of his girlfriend Priscilla as she went in to labour. He documented the entire twenty-hour process, from the pain of the initial contractions to driving to the doctor, where it was confirmed she was dilated, at which point they dashed home to give birth, as well as the aftermath, with the baby in its crib.
Her pregnancy came as a surprise, but the couple embraced it, and Gomes said he was 'a bit euphoric'.
He'd always documented their life together, so this felt like a natural thing to do for him.

Grenadian novelist, Cindy Mc Kenzie is planning to use her 2015 novel "Force Ripe" to promote reading among her country folks.
In an exclusive interview with THE NEW TODAY last week Wednesday, McKenzie, noted with a sense of disappointment the realisation that "a lot of Grenadians have never heard about the book" which was written "using our language (Grenadian dialect).
"I published the book in September 2015 and still there are so many people who have never heard of the book and I think it is because a lot of us, we don't read anymore", she said.
"…I want to use the book to promote reading and I wish other authors could come together because I think it is very important to promote reading", she added.
McKenzie has been invited to read from her book during the Rhythms of Spice Festival this month.
According to McKenzie, Force Ripe has been creating quite a stir on international markets, mainly in the United States, Canada and England and because of the overwhelming response it has received she intends to make the book a "household name."
"There are a lot of different aspects of the book such as sexual abuse among other issues – all from the point of view of a 10-year-old child that needs promotion as well and are very relevant to society today….", she remarked.
"So for me, I want to use it (the book) to promote reading especially, because it resonate with so many," she said.
She felt that "the book has captured the hearts of many," who have been responding by leaving "comments on my page, doing their reviews on Amazon," et cetera.
McKenzie also spoke of the challenges faced in getting support for her book from Grenadians.
She said that some of the times the locals are more eager to support what foreigners have offered in a greater degree than their own.
"I think we have a serious issue with that. I am not sure, it could have stemmed from maybe the slavery days, I don't know. I think we have a habit of one, we never think that our own is good enough; two…sometimes people have a certain image of what certain people should be or look like…", she said.
"I feel very passionate and very disappointed when our own people don't embrace something good," she quipped.
According to the author, she has discovered from personal experience that "the people who I find (have) tried to keep me down and have 'kinda' thrown stones in my face are the local people".
However, she admitted that not all locals have adopted that position towards her but there are many "who I have had some experiences with…especially now as I am trying to get the book into bookshops."
Since its release in September 2015, Mc Kenzie said she has been able to sell most of the 2, 500 copies of the book that was printed primarily.
Interested persons can purchase a copy of 'Force Ripe' for $40.00 from McKenzie herself who can be contacted on 473-414-6737 or at local bookshops for prices ranging between $40.00 and $50.00.
The book is also on sale on the Amazon website (www.amazon.com).

Meeting In The Middle: Intersectionality At The Foundation Center's "Rising Tide: Remix"
A "graphic recording" of the Foundation Center's discussion at Rising Tide: Remix on intersectionality by Johnine Byrne of SeeYourWords.com LaTosha Brown, jazz singer and project director of Grantmakers for Southern Progress, told a story on herself: Having gleefully decided to break her diet, she passed a homeless man eating outside the Atlanta restaurant she had chosen. Brown went in, savored her fried chicken and saved half for later. When she exited, the man asked her for her leftovers. On a stage in the Louis Stokes wing of the Cleveland Public Library, Brown stamped her foot, mimicking her frustration. "I get this from my grandmother: if somebody tells me they are hungry, I don't ask questions, I give them food," she said. "But I had saved that chicken wing and I wanted... Read More →
Henry Louis Gates Jr. Remembers Rev. Clementa Pinckney
In a poignant op-ed for The New York Times, Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. recalls his time spent with Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the South Carolina state senator and leader of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church who was among the nine people gunned down in his historic church. Gates, who chairs the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards jury, interviewed Pinckney three years ago for his PBS series' "The African-Americans: Many Rivers to Cross," on the legacy of black leaders in the post-Civil War South. A small snippet: To know him, even over the course of an autumn Carolina afternoon, was to know a man who cherished the values on which our republic was founded, and who held an abiding faith that the great promise of America could, one day, be fulfilled. He was a... Read More →
Poet Richard Blanco And Activist Ruth Behar Work To Lift Cuba's "Emotional Embargo"
Writer Ruth Behar and poet Richard Blanco have launched Bridges to/from Cuba, an ambitious collaborative fueled by 20 years of friendship. The duo has started an online forum for poets, authors and scholars to "lay bare the laughter and sorrow of being Cuban." As geopolitics shift, these two Cuban Americans call out for literature, writing, "For it is not simply a political and economic embargo that needs to be 'lifted,' but also the weight of an emotional embargo that has kept Cubans collectively holding their breath for over fifty years." The two are uniquely positioned to lead. Blanco, inaugural poet for President Barack Obama's second inauguration, has brought out two memoirs on his life as a young, gay, Latino immigrant. Born to Cuban-exiled parents and raised in Miami,... Read More →
East Cleveland Women Use Poetry On The Path To Healing
by Ann Kowal Smith + Rachel Burstein This post was originally published on the Books@Work blog. Reading, writing and discussing poetry has the power to open windows in life-changing ways, giving readers the freedom to tell their own stories and view themselves as capable learners and contributors. Our current partnership with the East Cleveland Municipal Court and From Lemons to Lemonade (FL2L) bring Books@Work to a group of single mothers and other women whose lives rarely afford them the opportunity to read, let alone reflect. The majority of the women in the group have suffered extraordinary personal hardships; they often struggle to provide for their children. But these women's stories don't have to end there; with the right support, single mothers and other women finding... Read More →
Author Isabel Wilkerson Brings Cleveland Connection To "The Warmth Of Other Suns"
Additional reporting by Tara Jefferson When Isabel Wilkerson comes to Cleveland, she sees Alabama. An authority on the Great Migration—the departure of six million African-Americans from a South lynching them at a rate of one every four days over six decades of the 20th-century—Wilkerson is steeped in the ways of movement. She can pinpoint the families that "left along three beautifully predictable streams: up the East coast, into the Midwest and Far West." She is conversant in the food, folkways and the names of churches that traveled with them. "I am thrilled to be back in Ohio, one of the receiving stations of the Great Migration, one of the places people dreamt about when dreaming about living their lives in freedom," she said to a gathering celebrating the tenth...

Protests Over Chinese Censorship Target Book Expo America Events
Cui Tiankai (left), the Chinese ambassador to the United States, at BookExpo in Manhattan This year, two strikingly opposed vistas marked Book Expo America, the largest annual book industry trade show. Shiny black stretch limos deposited representatives of dozens of Chinese publishing houses onto the sidewalk of the cavernous Javits Convention Center, where Ambassador Cui Tiankai, China's lead representative to the United States, joined a 500-member delegation spread across almost 25,000 feet of floor space. Amid bamboo and soft light, 10,000 books were featured, and 26 prominent authors from the mainland flew halfway around the globe to attend. Another 50 events highlighting Chinese literature—readings, films, panels—were sprinkled around Manhattan. But on the steps of the New... Read More →

Does Diversity Matter In Book Reviewing? (Hint: Yes, It Does)
New York, NY – Some 20 years ago, when novelist Alexander Chee was working for Out magazine, its owners commissioned a study of American book buying habits. The results: on average, lesbians bought 22 books each year, straight women, 14; gay men, 10; and straight men, one. Although the data is outdated, there was a sense at the Center for Fiction that the portrait hasn't changed that much. Critics and writers gathered for a panel on "Race, Gender, and Book Reviews" nodded in recognition. With blue-chip reviewing outlets, said Hawa Allan, a lawyer, critic and contributing editor for Tricycle magazine, "the readership they imagine is not the readership that exists." Noting the 2013 Pew Research study that found the most likely person to read a book was a college-educated black... Read More →

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Kylie Klein, a 6-3 middle blocker from Highlands Ranch, Colo., is starting her senior season with the Buccaneers. Coming off her junior year, she led the Bucs with a .238 hitting percentage, 127 blocks and was third on the team in kills with 216.
Not only did she dominate on the court but she also shined in the classroom. Klein was named the 2016 Big South Volleyball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a 2016 Big South Volleyball All-Academic Team selection. Klein is excelling on and off the court, but her stats may not be the most surprising thing about her.
Beach or mountains? Mountains
Favorite professional sports team: Colorado Rockies
Favorite professional athlete: Nolan Arenado
When you're not playing volleyball, what are you doing? Anything creative. I draw, paint, make jewelry and sew clothes.
Plans for after graduation: I have several different paths. I could play professional volleyball in Europe, model or work for a magazine doing graphic design.
Strangest nickname: Ky-Ky or random guys I don't know will call me Kylie Jenner at games
Favorite Class: Digital Illustration
Best advice you've ever received: Always be confident and do the unexpected
Guilty pleasure: I keep reading. I could read a book in a day. This summer I read 25 books.
Favorite pre-game meal: Pasta, but I like to end it with something sweet.
What's the most surprising song on your playlist? A Korean pop song called "Bubble Pop"
Dream vacation spot: All around Italy
Favorite moment from playing volleyball at CSU: We played Radford and were tied for first in the conference and we won the game, but every block and kill is super exciting.
Hidden talent: Juggling
Biggest role model: My mom. She's got it together and has always been there. She's my rock.
If your teammates had to use one word to describe you, what would it be? Confident, competitive or fierce.
If you used one word to describe yourself off the court, what would it be? Easy going
What will you miss most? Charleston and all my friends. There's a real connection and family feel. I also like the Charleston vibe, everyone is different here.
Despite the rough start, Klein says the team has set high goals for the season; one being conference champs. Klein has also set personal goals for her last season as a Buc. "I want to be a two-time scholar athlete and all conference first team." She also wants to be the top blocker on the team and in the conference and have the highest kill efficiency.
The Bucs will be in North Carolina this weekend for the Elon Tournament where they will face Elon, Norfolk State, and N.C. Central. You can follow live stats on CSUsports.com.

Today, I paired them with a super comfy tee from Anthropologie that features a camel print. Learn more about my camel nickname here. To dress it up a bit, I wore a sparkly statement necklace. In addition to looking for mint jeans this Spring, I was also looking for a mint statement necklace. This unique one stood out for me at Target and I couldn't be happier with it. I have not seen it at the store or online since so I'm glad I scooped it up.
Levi's Mid Rise Mint Skinny's : Macy's
