Jeremy Renner ("The Hurt Locker," "S.W.A.T.") tells Empire Magazine that Marvel Studios is after him to appear as the superhero Hawkeye in at least one or two upcoming films from the studio.
"Hawkeye could be interesting. They're going to send me some stuff on it, see what it is, but I think they're pretty awesome, trying to make superhero movies almost plausible and not just some fantasy thing" say Renner about the character, a master archer
Asked which ones he would appear in, Renner says "If I was a betting man, I would bet that Hawkeye would probably show up in Thor, and then be in 'The Avengers' but do I know for sure? I can't say. But I'd love for that to happen. It'd be fun."
He does however admit that nothing's set in stone or on paper as yet – "No offer has been made. I think there's a little ways from that." He's understandably cautious as he has seemingly lost out the lead role in George Miller's "Mad Max: Fury Road" to Tom Hardy.
The actor also shot down rumors he was considered for the role of Captain America. "I don't know if I'd be right for Captain America. I met with the Marvel guys, actually, but we didn't talk about Captain America" he says.
Meanwhile Marvel chief Joe Quesada tells Comic Book Resources that the "Thor" film "redefines what a super hero movie can be. it's not the expected story or settings."

When was the last time that you really accessed the exterior of your home? Stucco is probably the number one most neglected aspect of your home. Roofing leaks cause obvious damage resulting in immediate action, plumbing issues call for emergency repairs, and even painting is a fairly universal update that homeowners make, but when was the last time your stucco received the attention and care it needed?
Age, lack of maintenance, and weathering elements are all contributors to stucco deterioration. Despite acting as a coating, it is still susceptible to water damage through infiltration of windows, doors, chimneys and roofing. Settlement cracks due to shifting soil below a house or building can cause potential openings for moisture to gain access to your home. These minor repairs should be done regularly to avoid the higher cost of replacing materials should moisture damage occur.
Todd Whittaker Drywall, Inc. tradesmen are experts at stucco application and textured finishes for the exterior of your home. Additionally, many customers call on us to create built in BBQ areas, resurface brick, masonry or build or finish fences and pony walls with a durable stucco finish that is color matched to the home.
As a two or three part coating, stucco is applied directly over wood, masonry, and more commonly over metal lath as a protective coating to keep your home secure. Traditionally, stucco has been a popular building material due to it being relatively inexpensive to work with, it assists in minor fire protection and will protect against wind and weather. It can be applied over a less costly structure to form a more appealing high quality look with the use of varying patterns and textures.
TWD's dedication to doing the job right, the first time and their commitment to customer service is rare and it's this ...

Chris Bosh Loves MSG. NYPostDailyNewsNewsday, Not So Much.
Courtesy of Raptor's Republic (via National Post (I think it's "Canadian")):
"I like the Garden. The Garden has always been a fantastic place for me to play," Bosh said. "It was sort of the first big stage I ever played on in the McDonald's [all-star] game when I was in high school. I've been there every year since then. It's kind of special to me. A lot of greats have played there. It's just one of those special courts."
That sounds nice doesn't it? But hold your horses. Bosh also spoke in not so glowing terms about the renowned New York media that probably makes so many athletes shrug their shoulders about the possibility of playing in New York:
"Who is ready for the New York media?" Bosh asked rhetorically. "Who knows?"

Quo Vadis, Karwa?
Stepping out of the Paranormal, it's usually not too hard to find a taxi within a few minutes. Better still, there's a fair chance the driver will know where you want to go, and how to get there, even if you're a bit vague on that yourself, or rendered speechless by Happy Hour. Be glad you're not in Doha! There, the fleet of unroadworthy orange taxis has been decommissioned, and with them has gone the knowledge of Where Places Are. Yes, they had no AC, and yes, many of the drivers were, shall we say, ancient and pungent, but they knew where they were going. The new, official, green taxi fleet is a repository for monumental geographical innocence. It's not the drivers' fault. You bring fifty guys from Kerala, sack the ten who have never driven in their lives, and put the remaining forty into shiny new Toyota Camrys. And that's it. On your way, boys - drive. Then there's the language problem. In a country where Arabic and English are the business languages, it's not especially helpful only to speak Malayalam.

My mother's did the day she was walking down the street in Austin, Texas, and the woman beside her was hit by a sniper's bullet. The gunman was Charles Whitman—the original school shooter—and the ensuing 96-minute ordeal took the lives of sixteen people and robbed a town, and a nation, of its innocence.
Whitman's 1966 shooting rampage on the University of Texas campus made a lasting impact on my mother, and I heard the story of that terrifying day many times growing up. We visited UT frequently for football weekends, and I remember walking across campus with my mother and her pointing out the bullet holes in the concrete balustrades (some are there to this day) and the place on the main drag where she was standing when the shooting broke out.
People often ask me where my story ideas come from, and in the case of my new book SNAPPED the inspiration is very personal. The book opens with a sniper scene. My mom's experience helped me write the character of Sophie, the story's heroine, who gets caught in the crossfire.
The hero of the story is Jonah, a member of the SWAT team called in to confront the shooter. Having never stormed a building and taken down an armed assailant, I decided to do a little research on this topic. I interviewed a police sniper whose job it is to train–day in and day out–for the moment when people's lives are at stake and there is only one chance to get it right. Wow, do those guys have a stressful job!
The day I began the story, I went to the UT campus and walked the crime scene. Once I had a feel for how I wanted to begin, I hiked over to the student union, sat down with my laptop, and wrote the first chapter of SNAPPED.
This book–which I dedicated to my mom–is very personal to me. I set out to take readers on a journey that begins in a very dark place, goes through twists and turns, and ends in a brighter spot.
I've been thrilled with the early reviews for this book, including a 4.5 star review from RT Book Reviews, which named SNAPPED a Top Pick for September. And this feedback from BookPage made me smile, too:
"SNAPPED is romantic suspense at its best."
To celebrate the book's release I'm giving away a $20 gift card to Barnes & Noble and a signed copy of SNAPPED. Leave a comment for a chance to win!

- Please tell us a little bit of background information: some of your previous jobs, and how you got into your Product Specialist position at Friendly Ford?
I bartended for a few years and met a guy named Jim Orlando, who happened to be a vendor for Friendly Ford. He got me an interview with Jeff Conn, the GM at Friendly. Needless to say Jeff and I hit it off and I have been here for the past 8 years.
- Have you always lived in the Roselle area?
No, I have never lived in Roselle, but it is a great little town and I love being a part of the community here!
- What are your current job responsibilities as a Product Specialist? What is a typical day like for you?
A typical day in my shoes is to call people that are interested in purchasing a vehicle, touch base with past customers to make sure that they are happy and see if they need anything else from me. I like to constantly check our inventory and see what new vehicles came in and try to find them a new home! I also Talk to customers that are here and see if I can help them at all. It all sounds pretty easy I am sure, but trust me it is quite the opposite!
- What are your goals and what do you hope to accomplish at Friendly Ford as you move forward?
My immediate goals are to make as many deals I can. I would like to eventually get out of the actual selling position and climb the ladder.
- What do you like most about your job and what makes you passionate about your line of work?
The thing I like most about my job is that I work with some great people. We truly are a family here and that is not something that is easy to find! I understand that buying a car is a huge investment and I like to really get to know my customers and find them the perfect fit! When I can get someone into a car that they love, that makes my whole day!
- What would you consider to be your dream car?
My dream car is an Aston Martin DB11!! Ever since I saw James Bond I have been obsessed with Aston Martins!! If you have one bring it by and let me take a look!!
- What are some of your hobbies outside of work?
I enjoy golfing, going to as many sporting events as I can, spending time with my family and friends. I really enjoy just hanging out, trying new restaurants, relaxing and having a few drinks with my wife!
- What are some fun or interesting facts about yourself?
I am a HUGE Chicago sports fan.. Well except for that team over on the North Side!!
- If someone made a movie about your life, who would you want to play you and why?
Jeremy Renner! If you haven't seen any of his movies you need to. Obviously I don't personally know him, but what I know of him he seems like a great well rounded man. One of my favorite quotes by him is, "I live my life through fear. If I'm afraid of it I'll do it just so I'm not afraid of it anymore." That always has stuck with me that you can't live life full of fear. If something scares you all the more reason to do it!

I was out shopping and sashayed down the tablecloth aisle. A tablecloth that quite similar to my mom's old curtains caught my eye, so did the price $200. Nah, I'm not going to fork out that kind of money just to get one tablecloth. So I've got an idea! I went back home and turned my mom's old curtains into a tablecloth. I love how it turned out, so I wanted to share it with you.

How to Organize Necklaces
Please allow me to share my sad story :( with you, my lovely peeps. I used to dump all my necklaces into a shoe box and became a tangled mess. I have to fight and clear this mess everytime I need to get something out of the box. Fighting with tangled necklaces can be totally frustrating. Till one unfateful day, I accidentally broke my favourite necklace while trying to untangle it with another necklace and left my fragile heart all bruised.
I had gotten tired of having to fight with necklaces everytime I wanted to wear one, so I decided to move all my necklaces to another place to Chillax.
The solution? Simple! Let's check it out .....

- Fill a spray bottle with 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water and shake well.
- Wash your hair with any mild shampoo (e.g Johnson's Baby Shampoo).

Doers Of The Word
by Wayne Blank
See also 1 Year Holy Bible Reading Plan
Christian Living is about living a Christian life, to walk the walk: "1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves" (James 1:22 KJV).
"1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness [see Naughty], and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name ... then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity"
"Doing the Word" doesn't mean doing as one pleases in the name of the Word. Christ warned that people who live by His Name must do so according to what He said to do, not by what they self-righteously give themselves to do.
"7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Jason Mesnick Considered for Upcoming Season of The BachelorMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Move over, Jeremy Anderson and J.T. Torregiani.
Recently heart-broken Jason Mesnick is also being considered for the new season of The Bachelor.
"We would be bona fide idiots not to consider him for the show," series host Chris Harrison said about the possibility of Mesnick having his pick of 25 desperate women. "He's on my short list."
Harrison added that, if Jason is chosen, son "Ty would have to take center stage," while hinting this could mean filming in Jason's hometown of Seattle. Heck, Harrison and and his wife even offered to baby-sit: "We have two kids, Ty would fit right in."
What do you think of Jason Mesnick being the next Bachelor?

Didi's Manners & Etiquette: Last Minute Gifts & More

Introducing Yourselves as Two Married Men
We're a same-sex married couple who have recently moved into our second home in a very old-fashioned and yet somewhat sophisticated seaside town, and we're here for the holidays. We've been fortunate to have been invited to several Christmas parties where, obviously, we know very few of the other guests. Everyone is quite jovial and friendly, but we're wondering what is the proper etiquette for introducing two married men?
~ Two Proper Bostonians, MA
Introduce yourself and let the new acquaintance introduce himself back to you. At that point, if your husband is standing by, he would pipe up and introduce himself. However, you or he may or may not mention that you are each other's husband.
A hetrosexual couple, would add, in introducing their partner, "And this is my husband, Adam Smith" -- or "And this is my wife Amy Grant." New Englanders are not as upfront about coming out to strangers. Same-sex male partners, for instance, are more likely to make a reference to their husband in conversation hoping that the new acquaintance will say, "And where is your husband?"
Should that happen, you would signal for your husband to come to your side so that you can introduce him. If he's across the room, you would lead your new acquaintance to him to make the introduction.
Gifts For My Brother's Family
As the lucky uncle of my New England brother's sons and daughters ages 4 months to five-years-old, I need ideas for Christmas gifts for them as well as for my brother and his wife. Researching is easy, I just don't have a clue as to want to look for. Do you have suggestions?

Added color support to the mini-profiles used in graphical map unit summaries, the Google Earth interface, and iPhone application. SSURGO doesn't contain soil color data, so colors (in Munsell notation) were extracted from the OSD database, and converted into RGB triplets. Using horizon information from the OSD database also results in much more realistic horizonation, as compared to what is stored in older SSURGO databases. Example of the Yolo series soil, from the Yolo County (1972) soil survey:

If you take a walk through your favorite patch of woods with an eye out for wildlife, you might see dozens of birds. You are also likely to find squirrels, possibly a herd of deer and occasionally other mammals. More is out there, but much of it stays hidden.
Take, for example, Plethodon cinereus, the red-backed salamander. There are likely to be more individual red-backed salamanders in those woods than the total number of all the mammals and birds. What's more, the total biomass of the salamanders would probably outweigh the birds and be roughly equal to the weight of all of the small mammals. You have been walking all over them without, one hopes, stepping on any.
The salamanders are staying safe beneath logs and rocks or in the top layer of soil. This top layer, called humus, is a loosely packed amalgam of rotting leaves and sticks.
Lungless salamanders, such as the red-backed, breathe
through their skin. The skin must stay moist because if it dries out, they'll die. That is why they keep mainly underground but close to the surface where it stays damp and where they seek their prey.
Red backed salamanders are a top predator of what is
Where to Look: Underneath logs or rocks in wooded areas, even backyards.
Places to Visit:
• Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, Lothian: www.jugbay.org. Jug Bay offers volunteer opportunities for people interested in studying salamanders, other amphibians and many other plants and animals. Or you can visit on your own.
• Flag Ponds Nature Center, Lusby: www.calvertparks.org/Parks/FlagPonds/FPhome.htm.
called the detritus food chain. In other words, they eat a lot of insects, like beetles and worms that feed from and break down the fallen leaves and dead wood. If you are what you eat, then you could say that salamanders are the forest.
Moist conditions support salamanders' survival, but dry periods make them easier to find. When the ground is damp, the salamanders are able to spread out to find a little, shall we call it, breathing space. When there is no rain, the dry topsoil becomes inhospitable to salamanders. So they seek refuge under logs and other places where it stays damp. That is where you might see them.
Researchers who study salamanders have a simple technique to find them; it can also be used to locate red-backed salamanders in the backyard. Place a piece of scrap lumber flat on the ground, preferably near trees or bushes. Periodically check underneath, and you might find one. The salamanders should not be kept as pets, but if you have a camera ready, you might be able to capture a photo.

If you were looking for a dress watch which from Rolex, we recommended that the Rolex Cellini is the best choice. In homage to Benvenuto Cellini, sculptor and goldsmith of the Renaissance popes and kings, Rolex created a watch collection, which bears the name of the teacher. Clocks went from the domain of a single craftsman cooperation by qualified professionals. Every Rolex is a symphony of skills and art.
You can also buy the Replica Rolex Cellini Watch. To be honest, most dress watches are all very similar in their design and display. It seems that replica Cellini has everything right. It case with the nice design, elegant feeling, complicated movements also superb execution. Neither the replica Cellini is an extra-slim or super small watch but it wears superbly. It feels very smooth on the wrist. It is a replica dress watch that collectors were expecting. It has the DNA of the brand but executed with more subtlety, more discretion and a more luxurious feel. We hope you can have a try this amazing replica watch.

Website Re-Development
Until very recently, this website was powered by Drupal. Now although Drupal's great in a whole raft of situations, there are times when either it's overkill for something small, or just doesn't fit into one's workflow. I came to realise that both of these applied to this site, so when it came to re-developing, I decided to abandon Drupal for the site altogether.
In the end, I decided to rebuild the site using Jekyll, along with a few other tools along the way.
This post explains the motivations behind the decision, what I did next and some of the challenges I faced along the way.
The Need for Re-development
There were several aspects that made re-developing my site something of a priority.
First, it wasn't mobile-friendly. I may have been able to get away with that some years ago when I first drafted the site, but now that's just not acceptable. After weighing the pros and cons of a responsive vs a separate mobile site, I decided on the former — and the only way to do that would be to start the front end build again from scratch.

*Perspective Title (Hint: This should match page name found in the url address line above, minus the dashes.)
Evidence is mounting that front crash-avoidance technology not only works on the test track, it's cutting crashes in real life. Data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) reveals that whether cars brake automatically or warn drivers to do it when sensors detect an impending front collision, cars equipped with crash-avoidance technology log fewer claims for damage and injury.
The recent studies looked at 2015 model-year systems by three manufacturers (Volvo, Honda, and Subaru) and showed varying degrees of benefit. Compared to similar vehicles without the technology, property damage liability claims (that is, damage to other vehicles) dropped 12-16%, and bodily injury liability claims (injuries to people in other vehicles) dipped an impressive 27-39%, mostly owing to fewer cases of whiplash, a common injury when a car is struck from the rear by another vehicle.
Among the 784 models in HLDI's 2015 vehicle-features database, more than half offer forward-collision warnings. Twenty-seven percent also offer autobrake. Check out this Aug. 26, 2015, IIHS-HLDI Status Report for details on specific models.

Metro Monarch Fred Gilliam Trashes Access!
Howdy Comrades!
I really hate to bring such bad news to the peeps, but Fred Gilliam, Executive Director of Cap Metro, has once again snookered the Cap Metro Board into trashing the integrity of the Access Committee, disrespected Austin's disability community and precipitated another legal crisis at last night's Cap Metro Board meeting.
As a direct result of his actions, the community will likely have to resort to more litigation and potential direct action to publicize our cause. Mr. G. has dispatched Ms. Mendoza to the Access meeting scheduled tomorrow evening at the
Naturally, Ms. Mendoza will receive a fair hearing, but Access will not be muzzled by her or anyone else. Needless to say, the recent mediation agreement between Cap Metro and plaintiffs represented by the Texas Civil Rights Project hangs by a thread tonight.
Stay tuned, comrades, and be strong. We will overcome.

January is one of my favorite issues to put together. Aside from anything else, there's always something special about turning the page and looking forward to the New Year with optimism and renewed vigor.
But more than that, each January we get to name our All-Stars picks for Company, Agency, Marketing Teams and Media Brand of the Year. This is a thrill several times over: First, it's a great excuse for us (meaning the editorial team) to sit down, review and discuss the industry's best performers and performances of 2011.
Second, we get to tell our All-Stars that they've won—and who doesn't like to make five phone calls like that right before the holidays? It's akin to playing Santa. (Come to think of it, of scheduling and executing five photo shoots and nine interviews with 13 senior execs in a 10-day span just after Thanksgiving is Santa-esque in terms of its time/space ambition.)
Of course, the real treat is in gaining access to these wonderful people, and to hearing their own accounts of these triumphs. And having heard what they have to say—from Boehringer president/CEO Greg Behar to Medical Economics EVP Georgiann Decenzo—I'm proud to say that we have, once again, made some highly astute picks.
Each year we are asked by many people how we arrive at our choices. The first point to note is that the All-Star picks are editorial decisions, as opposed to the annual MM&M Awards program, where the winners are determined by the scoring of an independent panel of esteemed industry experts.
For each of the five accolades, we start by obtaining as much data as we can to draw up a short list of organizations and brands that performed the best over the previous 12 months. We then look a little closer at the context to see what events, forces, market conditions may have affected these performances, as well as any particular challenges they faced along the way. We also try to shed light on how they may have achieved these various successes—as a marketing-focused title, we are obviously looking for a good marketing story.
After narrowing the field further, we call on the insights and opinions of some of our most valued contacts, industry friends, analysts and editorial board members. Finally, as an editorial team, we pull together all of our research, have one last conversation and make our picks. So, yes, the methodology is prone to an element of subjectivity. But equally, yes, it's done in the right way and in the right spirit.
So in a nutshell, what was special about our 2012 All-Stars?
Boehringer Ingelheim (company)—successful products, focus on R&D, strong company culture, embraces digital channels and social media.
ICC Lowe (agency/network)—entrusted with carrying IPG's Lowe health mantle worldwide, 52 wins, 11 launches, headcount up 35%, revenues up 40%.
Victoza (marketing team, large)—out-muscled Byetta in the type 2 diabetes GLP-1 injectable class after just one year, with a gutsy strategy that also targeted orals Januvia, Ongylza and Tradjenta.
Incivek (marketing team, small)—brushed aside HCV rival Victrelis with biggest revenue-generating drug launch ever.
Medical Economics (media brand)—a rebound story to top them all with 38% increase in revenue and pages in the year to Oct 2011, vs. 2010.
So there you have it. And with that, I'd like to wish all of our readers a similarly happy and prosperous 2012.
From the January 01, 2012 Issue of MM&M - Medical Marketing and Media

I love to study books of the Bible, people in the Bible, Biblical themes…all of it. God's Word is amazing no matter how we study it! Every few weeks, I'll select a number of related chapters to read and blog about as a series.
These series can make the basis of a great group Bible Study, too—even an informal or online study with friends. Together, you can encourage each other to apply what you're reading, and perhaps throw in a little accountability while you're at it!
Choose a series… then get ready to clear the clutter out of your spirit and make room for Jesus!

why settle for just 4 stars
There is nothing better than the camaraderie of relaxing under the open skies swapping tales as evenings color's envelop the towering mountains surrounding your campsite. We've always enjoyed the simple pleasures of camping and bring this to some of our tours.
While camping conjures up images of roughing it to some folks ... dirt, pit toilets, bugs ... that isn't the way we do it. Our campgrounds are chosen for their locations and amenities. We usually enjoy full facilities at our overnight stops, hot showers, running water, flush toilets and more. Our camps along the Alaska Highway offer fresh home made pies and cinnamon rolls from the camp's bakery. And most are situated in scenic regions ... . surrounded by towering snow capped peaks ... on the shore of a beautiful lake ... tucked under a canopy of sweet smelling fir trees.
Your comfort is also taken into account. Most evenings our large dining canopy is set up, providing shelter should a little shower pass by, with comfy folding chairs for each guest. And if the insects make a nuisance of themselves, we can wrap our shelter with a mosquito bar to keep the wild life at bay while we relax and enjoy our evening meal and story telling.
Most of our trips in North America are camping programs, featuring delightful campgrounds and our renowned "almost gourmet" cooking. On layover days and when we are in the bigger towns, we often swap our camps for night in quiet motel or delightful lodge. For folks who prefer the indoor comforts of a lodge, most camping nights have nearby inns or motels that you can enjoy.
Some folks think we're pretty cool:

Returned, Refreshed, and Setting Some Goals
I got to act like a twenty-something, enjoy some time with my mom and my two youngest siblings, who were 4 and 5 1/2 when I moved out to get married, see friends and family I often go years without seeing, sight-see and take tons of photos (over 800 by the time I got home--yes, I'm a photo slut). We extended our time at the beach and cut time out from later in the trip to do so. I got a short story written, got a few ideas for others, and best of all, I got to forget my troubles for a little while, pretend they didn't exist. It was nice.
Though I did miss my hubby and my babies. And my bed. And my laptop. And you guys, of course!
Now I'm back, refreshed (after a couple days recovering from the drive), and eager to jump back into my writing. Unfortunately, I have a whole lotta' work to catch up on, seeing as how I was gone for a week after just having come off five weeks of school and investing all of my attention into that class. I came back to find my test date waiting for me. It's not until October. Ugh. I'm a fan of just getting things over with, but hey, now I've got over a month to study (and obsess, and worry, and forget details, and, and, and...)
Back to that eagerness to get back to writing. Did you guys see the results of the Hugo Awards last night? I'll be honest. I had forgotten they were going on, but then an acquaintance posted a picture of his shiny new Hugo Award, so I went to check it out. Reading through that list of names, all the categories, I was inspired. I've been letting work, volunteer work at that, take the place of my writing time. I can't let that happen anymore. Yes, I'll still do my jobs, and I'll do them well, but I will also set aside time to write. My kids started school, and I can now create a schedule for myself.
So here's a little non-New Year's goal setting: I will create a schedule that provides for time to write and time to exercise. I've gotten out of shape while battling depression and doing an awful lot of sitting at my computer, sitting in meetings, sitting in the car, sitting, sitting, sitting. Work the body, work the mind. Once a week I will go somewhere other than home to write. I will make time to go on hikes when I can, because I enjoy them, and because I always find inspiration while out hiking and/or walking. I will finish Wendigo Nights. I will submit short stories for publication. I will take my writing seriously.
What about you? How are you feeling? Where's your inspiration level right now? Have you looked at your goals for the year, examined them, adjusted them for your current needs? What's looming over your head? Work deadlines, writing deadlines, test deadlines? Are you making time for yourself? For your writing?
May you find your Muse.

I'm glad you got a much needed break and time to renew! It's so hard to balance it all. Keep taking time for you.ReplyDelete
Glad to hear you had such a good time!ReplyDelete
I've set some goals for September - both writing-related and personal. It's never too late to start - who needs New Year's, right? Good luck with yours!
My health (or lack thereof I should say) left me sedentary all summer. So frustrating. Gained weight, lost self-esteem, my depression increased. Sigh. I need to set goals and follow through and all that, but it seems overwhelming right now. Thanks for the gentle nudge, though. Best of luck with yours!ReplyDelete
Tina @ Life is Good
Welcome back. I always feel optimistic in the beginning of the summer (those long days) I think I can get tons of things done. By September reality sinks in and I see what's left.ReplyDelete
I'm working on a Bk 2 for a scifi story and an alternate history novel. They've been on the back burner for a while.
Writing is the most important priority right now for me. Good luck with getting back into your schedule, and stick with both those excellent goals (writing and fitness).
I saw that Scalzi won something, but I haven't checked what.ReplyDelete
Welcome back.
Hi, Shannon. Skimmed your blog only today. Got the grandson. Signed up to follow you by way of email. Can read at the salon between heads of hair.ReplyDelete
Hugs and chocolate,
Welcome back, Shannon! I know I'm too old to do a drive like that now. Didn't notice the Hugos.ReplyDelete
Welcome back. I don't think I've ever been young enough to do a drive like that. Even in college, four hours was my limit.ReplyDelete
I'm feeling pretty hopeful as I finish this, what I hope to be last, round of edits.
Its nice to see you back! I need to set more goals for myself to write, but I never keep my goals. I think I need to come up with some way to make give me something to look forward to, besides the fact that I would be getting things done.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a wonderful break, and yeah, I couldn't do that much driving either. Age does have a way of taking the fun out of things. Love your goals, always set goals, my to do lists are vital - probably a bit anal, but hey, I love checking off the items, what can I say.ReplyDelete
Man, I'd love a nice break like that; beach and friends/fam and just general chillaxing...sighs.ReplyDelete
Good for you, with your goal setting! This striving for balance between writing and everything else conversation's been running through the blogosphere for months, it seems. I've taken the step of buying a planner, since I seem to manage some productivity when I write down what I want to accomplish. The next step is sitting down with that sucker to determine a stick-to-able schedule for myself. Baby steps, yo. :-)
The Loerzels, thank you, I will try! I hope you do the same.ReplyDelete
Madeline, I hope you meet and exceed your goals!
Tina, do only what you can comfortably do. Pushing yourself too much will only worsen it, I'm sure. Hugs out to you, my friend.
D.G., good luck to you with your writing! I hope life lets you stick to it. I feel that way at the beginning of fall, thinking kids back to school means I'll have ALL this writing time, and then reality sets in and I have five billion things I have to do that I was putting off.
Andrew, thanks! I don't remember what he won.
Shelly, I hope all is well with the little guy.
Alex, oh yes, it did my mother and I in. My sister, on the other hand, went to work that night and just jumped right in, and I'm not sure about my brother. Probably just fine.
Jenn, good luck with those final edits!
Rachel, true, an outside reward is often a good idea. When I was submitting short stories (which I need to get back to) I set myself a reward and will fulfill it after I take my state boards! A friend of mine picks herself a fun new shirt as her goal so she has a visual on the reward. Good luck to you!
Yolanda, I love that feeling of checking items off, as well. Feels good to have visual proof that you accomplished something.
Mina, good luck with the planner; I hope it helps! I need to carry around a planner with me wherever I go, but I'm terrible about updating it.

It's the New Year, and just like everyone else it seems, I've been making an extra effort to get myself to the gym and workout. Lately, I've been eyeing the hand weights and weight machines, knowing that I need to add strength-training to my cardio routine. But, can I tell you a secret? I'm terrified of bulking up too much from lifting weights!
I kid you not, if I were to do, say, eight bicep curls with a 10-pound weight, my arm would bulk up instantly body-builder style, and I wouldn't be able to fit into any of my sweaters. Plus, on my arm, the bulk looks like fat, not muscle. (OK, I may be exaggerating just a little, but, really, I'm scared of getting larger, not smaller, from strength-training workouts.)
As it turns out, lots of women are wary of strength-training for fear of bulking up. But as I was reading on Fit Bottomed Girls, the reality is "that most women don't produce the hormones to build bulging muscles." Additionally, building muscle in general can have positive side effects with respect to your physique. First, muscles help you look leaner and toner even if you overall weight remains the same. Second, building muscle is important for weight-loss because the more muscle you have, the more energy your body burns and the more fat your body can burn off.
So, as you can see, my fear of bulking up to superhero size is completely ridiculous. (Blushing.) I should spend less time worrying about it and get myself to the gym!
How often do you strength-train? Do you notice a difference?

More Efficient, More Data-Reliant Farming On Its Way
At the Hoober farm store in Middletown, DE, there's all the usual machinery – tractors, generators, sprayers, planters. But outside salesman Dave Wharry's office, there's also a stand with a couple of screens on it that look like fancy GPS monitors, writes Irina Zhorov on NewsWorks.org.
The computers actually are GPS enabled but they go onto farming equipment rather than cars. He turns on the computers and illustrations of fields appear on the screens. It's pre-programmed to simulate a tractor driving through the field. The computer flashes tons of information: the speed of the machine, fuel use, moisture of the crop, how much it's harvesting.
When the farmer is done harvesting, the computer makes a yield map showing which parts of the field produced best, and which ones returned fewer bushels. A farmer can use that information to make site-specific decisions. Instead of treating an entire field homogenously, they can say: maybe this weak area needs more fertilizer, or perhaps this productive section can support more seeds.
Each field is a snowflake, with different qualities and needs. The technology – called precision agriculture – allows farmers to take that into account in managing their operations. "Commodity prices aren't growing, they're dropping, costs are continually rising, so there's a big push for efficiency," said Wharry.
Savings In The Details
Baker Farms, about ten miles from Wharry's office, spreads over 1,700 acres and produces corn, soybeans and wheat. Its owners have been dabbling with precision ag since 2002, and got serious about adopting it in 2008. Ed and Dave Baker have been farming the land there since the 1960s, but they say it was one of their farm managers who kept up with technology in the industry and convinced them to try it. Before that, they usually made management decisions based on prior experience.
"There's an old farmer saying that goes: 10 years to know a wife or a farm. You just farm the same ground for years and years and you know where the most productive fields are," Ed Baker said. He said that piece is still important, "but now that we have the data we can make decisions that are based on real numbers and real science."
The Bakers use their yield maps, along with soil maps, to vary seeding rates. They used to plant each field with a constant number of seeds. Now, in very productive areas, they plant 34,000 seeds per acre and on the poorest soils they plant 28,000, with gradations in between. In all, they have seven management zones. Seven snowflakes.

And my god, I love it so much! I'm almost addicted to it *laughs* I mean, the stages are pretty and really well made as well as the characters are, and there are more to come! I personally love to play is Agent Hugo or Hugolina, but I wish there would be a ''Evil Hugo/Hugolina''
As I mentioned the stages, they are pretty and challenging at some points. Stages are really well drawn and the rails are easily to be spotted and you know where to go. Personally for me, the beach stage might be the most difficult one, but that's just me.
I was so happy to see the swamp-stage, being really familiar with the forest-stage from the classic hugo-games and the first railroad-stage, being newly made stage, also from the classic games.
The characters are enjoyable, I was so happy to see Agent Hugo in there, aside from Hugo himself and even Hugolina with super cute design! The other new characters are also intresting to see, with small and simple bio they have, before choosing them.
The small tokens and boosters you get during your joruney are really nice add-on, as some of them are hard to get, some of them more easier. The Hugo-tokens gives you the ability to get into this Wheel of fortune, which gives you either money or supplies, maybe sometimes it gives you nothing!
The Witch-tokens, I personally have no Idea what they do when you collect all 250 of them (I have around 89 when I wrote this) but I truly hope it'll be something worth of the job.
So overall, I enjoy this game, a LOT, it's nice to spend time with and it's always nice to see the stages

The end.
I haven't had time to read them yet (and I do NOT want to rush through this), but I am excited as HELL about getting to read these.
I don't know if Banker secretly loves it or hates it when we praise him to the skies - either way, I'm sure he'll reply with some cuss-filled sarcastic quip - but either way: I think we can all agree that the work he's put into this is truly awe-inspiring. And I know we're all thankful for it.

Two families, the Duncans and the O'Loughlins, lived next door to each other on Thompson Avenue in Northwest Glendale for several years. The two fathers, Paul and Legory, respectively, shared an interest in public service and gave freely of their time to the community.
Duncan was a member of the Glendale Kiwanis Club, the North Glendale Methodist Church and chair of the boy's building committee at the YMCA. He also served on the board of directors of Goodwill Industries of Southern California. He was part of the Quarterback Club and active in the Glendale Community Concert Assn.
Duncan and O'Loughlin were both very active in the Glendale Historical Society. Duncan served as master of ceremonies while O'Loughlin was president. Duncan was appointed to the post in October 1950, during O'Loughlin's first term as president, and held the post for three years. He was also involved with Kiwanis and was elected club president while serving as master of ceremonies for the historical society.

Federal deduction for state sales tax in effect - for now
As Texans fill out their 2013 income tax forms to file by April 15, they should, as always, check to see if they can claim the sales-tax deduction.
Especially this year. Because it may be the last time.
The deduction expired on Dec. 31.
Qualifying taxpayers can still claim the deduction, often worth hundreds of dollars, on their 2013 returns.
But it will take an act of Congress this year or early next year to restore the deduction for sales taxes paid by Texans during 2014. According to the office of U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, the deduction provides the state's residents with more than $1 billion in federal tax relief annually.
The deduction was one of a long list of tax-related items to expire Dec. 31, and for most of the country the sales tax deduction makes no difference. But it's a big deal in Texas because the state is one of the few that does not levy a state income tax.
Under federal tax law, taxpayers can deduct either their state income tax payments or their sales taxes, but not both. In Texas, the sales tax deduction is the only choice for taxpayers who itemize deductions.
Taxpayers can itemize if their property taxes, home mortgage interest rates, charitable deductions, paid tax-preparer fees, charitable donations, qualifying medical expenses and a few other expenses add up to more than the standard deduction.
The Pew Charitable Trusts reports that 20.2 percent of Texas filers, or one in five, claimed the sales tax deduction for tax year 2011. The average Texas filer's deduction that year was $383, Pew said.
San Antonio tax accountant Jim Oliver said the average sales tax deduction is probably higher. For example, using the Internal Revenue's online sale-taxes calculator, he entered a single person with between $30,000 and $40,000 in a San Antonio ZIP code and a sales tax deduction of $662.76 for 2011.
Sales tax payments for big purchases, such as cars or boats, can be added to the IRS calculation, Oliver said. The IRS online sales tax calculator is widely used because few people save their retail receipts for tax purposes.
Will Congress, which can hardly pass anything, extend the sales-tax deduction by making it retroactive for 2014? In a midterm election year?
"With this Congress, who knows what will happen?" Oliver said.
Cornyn is a co-sponsor of two pieces of legislation introduced by Sens. Dean Heller, R-Nev., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., that would provide for a permanent extension and as a member of the Finance Committee will be working to push these measures through committee and to the Senate floor, his office said.
"This is a matter of fundamental fairness for Texas taxpayers and one that puts them on a level playing field with taxpayers who can deduct their state income tax," Cornyn said in a statement.

Making cookies - well that is a whole 'nother story! Especially rolled cookies. Unless your name is Martha Stewart, I suggest you forget all about making beautiful, perfectly decorated cookies. That really isn't the point. The point is to entertain your small children while they make cookies that they are ever so proud of and dearly love to eat. If you want perfect cookies - do yourself a favor and go buy some at the bakery!
So - here is a photo of our finished results. We used canned frosting that we put some food coloring in. Let me tell you - these cookies are tasty! Anytime he sees some kind of fancy-smanshy magazine cover with beautiful "art food" and asks if we can make that? - I tell him - we can certainly make that recipe - it just won't look the same. We both accept the limitations of Momma's art food abilities and have a good time in the kitchen anyway.
We don't make rolled cookies often. They are very time consuming - much faster to make pie. Faster still is our favorite snack bread - apple/banana loaf.
Our other baking project this week is sourdough bread... or at least the starter - it takes 3 days for the starter to be ready to use. We have 3 days to spare. The starter will be ready tomorrow so that is our baking project for tomorrow. The kitchen is needed today for making a special family dinner - seeing that it is Canadian Thanksgiving and all... I figure, why not celebrate both Canadian and US? We are doing low-key today, but it will still be a special family meal. Here is SB stirring the sour dough starter.

2016 might not have been a great year for much, but for virtual reality it was truly glorious.
We saw not just one, but three major headsets released to the public in the form of the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and the PlayStation VR.
Of course what did people use their virtual reality headsets for? Scaring their older relatives, obviously.
We haven't done the explicit research around this but you'll probably find as many videos of parents and grandparents being scared witless using VR as you will actual owners using their own headsets.
It's a tad mean, but it highlights something that very few of us will experience in our lifetimes: the chance to try a technology that truly feels revolutionary.
When it's bad, virtual reality is confusing, painful and tiresome. When it's good however, it's unbelievably immersive.
For further evidence see below:
