Have you seen the Cricut Mint Machine Bundle…? check out that price and all the goodies that come with it. I am so coveting the new Explore 2… I would love one of these. If you are totally new to Cricut, which is rare nowadays… but always a possibility.. There are so many cool things you can do with these machines…way beyond what Cricut even show you. Card making, scrapbooking, home decor, kids crafts, personalized clothing, gifts, packaging…… just the tip of the iceberg.
We had one member on the message board who made all of the signs for his re-enactment group.
Me.. I bought mine to make custom photo mats then got hooked ..and there is still a tonne of things I haven't even tried yet.
One of my favorite things about my Cricut is the aftermarket Adapters I bought, which sadly are not available for the ONE.. but they are available for the Explore, Explore Air and Air 2 and those are FANTASTIC. these are pen adapters for the Circut by a company called Chomas Creations and they allow you to expand the range of pens you can use in your Cricut. For people like me..that is HUGE…it has opened up a whole new world of potential projects that I wouldn't normally attempt because my handwriting is terrible and my calligraphy skills.. non existent lol. But not just that.. that means I can draw with so many more pens than before…
One of my favorites and one of the most popular pins on my pinterest page is this.. the powder embossing done on the Explore. Yup.. POWDER EMBOSSING drawn on the Cricut.
This allows me to take designs and instead of cutting them, I can draw them and emboss them.. LOVE LOVE LOVE this. There are other embossing pens, including one I made myself.. but these Zig Embossing pens coupled with the Chomas Adapter.. SWEET !!!
Anyone who is a regular on here knows how much I love my Zip pens.. and most all of them will work in my Cricut with the adapter… with the exception of the big chalk pens. But that is ok…. because I can outline on the Cricut then trace over it with my bigger pens when I want to do chalk signs. Way better than anything I could ever achieve by hand.
And of course.. the .. how could I not share what is probably my favorite paper to use on the Cricut.. this stuff is AWESOME.
It cuts beautifully, looks and feels amazing and gives a little extra something something to projects.
These projects were done with Black Velvet paper, but it comes in a bunch of other colors.. including white, which I love to print and color digital stamps on.
Did I mention stencils… check out this etched glass beer stein I made a couple of years ago using a stencil I made and cut on the Cricut. This was for one of our message board challenges. I Just cut my stencil from vinyl, slapped it on..slapped on etching cream and voila.. a fun beer mug 🙂
…so by now, if you are new to the Cricut….you are probably beginning to realize the Cricut can do a lot more than just use images on cartridges and on Design Space Access…. Yup you can upload your own designs or designs purchased elsewhere. Card templates, toppers, digital stamps. I've got a confession… I don't subscribe to Access, I own probably 10 cartridges.. and I use my Cricut to make a lot of cool projects. So if the price of Access, or the designs not being to your taste is something that was holding you back .. never fear… this machine still has a lot to offer.
Print and Cut is fantastic, and when the DS3 ( Design Space update) comes out soon… it's going to be even better. I for one.. can't wait. DS3 has so many cool new features… admittedly there are still some things I would love to have added on… because I am used to having them in my graphics programs.. but it's not a big deal to do it externally and then upload them.
Check out some of these fun projects done using Cricut Print and cut…
I will be compensated for purchases made through afiliate links on this page

I'm often asked for tourist tips for London visitors. And it recently dawned on me there is a 'must do' that escapes most lists: go to Paris for breakfast.
While we were living in England, to my husband I mentioned my craving for croissants from our favorite Parisian bakery. We looked at each other and giggled, 'Why not?!' So we spontaneously booked train tickets to depart early the next morning.
The Croissant
Once we arrived in Paris, we made a beeline to Maison Kayser to taste the perfect croissant aux amandes. Seriously worth crossing a channel and different time zone to experience one of these!
But being open-minded, I recently recruited my Parisian Instagram friend, Juliet, for local foodie advice (merci!). She insists without hesitation that Sebastien Gaudard on Rue des Martyrs sells the best croissants in Paris, and their shop is equally beautiful. Certainly a new addition to my bucket list.
So, Let Me Explain
To many Americans readers, this story may sound a bit too jet-setterish. But think of European countries like our smaller American states – then it doesn't seem so ridiculous. Europeans travel to other countries on the continent frequently for work and vacation, much like we travel within our country.
So you can understand why the Euro currency is quite convenient when one can eat three meals in three different countries in a day when traveling by rail or car. The train travel time between London and Paris is similar to a drive from Philadelphia to New York.
The Logistics
So if you choose to go to Paris for the day, purchase roundtrip Eurostar train tickets online. Choose to depart from London's St. Pancras International Station to Paris's Gare du Nord Station. Much of the 2 hour 15 minute trip is above ground with some travel through a dark tunnel under the English Channel. I always find the trip to be quite exhilarating.
Security and boarding are pleasantly less fussy than air travel. Even passport control is taken care of on the British side, so once you arrive in Paris, you simply walk off the train and out of the station. Since you are there for just a day, there's no pesky luggage to tow behind you. You may want to grab a taxi as the streets of Paris can be disorienting (which is part of their charm).
After breakfast, go explore. Stroll along the Seine River past Notre Dame Cathedral toward the Eiffel Tower and then to the Arc de Triomphe. Maybe wander through the Luxembourg Gardens (great for kids) or photograph the streets of Le Marais. Or sweep through the Musee du Louvre or Musee d'Orsay (buy tickets in advance to avoid long lines).
With the full day in your pocket, head back on the train to London – possibly remarking that was the most memorable breakfast ever. So if you have a weeklong visit to London, you may have time to sneak away to Paris for breakfast.

Taking inspiration from the two twists that keep a candy in its wrapper, Russian designer Alexey Seoev created the Ballerina candy wrapper. The candy packaging features a small illustrated ballerina on it, who is mid-pose and has her grey tutu is formed by the bottom twisted wrapper.
Packaging for the Ballerina Candy Wrapper itself is targeted towards those who are dancers themselves, since the candy is designed to suppress appetite and help ballerinas maintain a trim figure for dancing. The pink color scheme seems like a natural one to associate with female ballerinas and using the image of a ballerina on the candy is quite a brilliant one, since it speaks directly to its target audience in a very playful, but simple way.

I have been making a lot of banana bread recently. I love taking it to work for breakfast. One time we ran out of eggs, and I really didn't want to go to the store. I was conveniently talking to my mom about it and she mentioned Flax Seed Meal. Which I have in my cabinet for that once in a blue moon smoothie I make. The flax seed equivalent to one egg is 1 Tablespoon of ground flax seed soaked in 3 Tablespoons of water for about 5 minutes before mixing in the batter.
I use this recipe from Simply Recipes sometimes I add another banana if I have an extra on hand. You can also add walnuts if you really wanted to. The best thing about this recipe is that because of the flax seed it adds fiber and omega 3's, which heaven only knows I need more of both of those!
Make sure to butter your bread pan so when it is done cooking, the bread slides out easy.
Simply follow the recipe (you pretty much mix everything together and pour it into the bread pan).
In case you were wondering this is what it looks like when mixing, just not as fast. (I hope it doesn't make anyone dizzy)
I hope you enjoy your banana bread as much as we do!
Happy Eats,

Volunteers are needed to help collect for the annual Poppy Appeal in Doncaster and surrounding villages.
Organisers are asking people to offer a couple of hours of their time to make this year's appeal the biggest yet.
No military background is necessary just a strong desire to support our Armed Forces and their families.
Debbie Westlake, community fundraiser said: "You'll have a great time and will meet some wonderful people and don't worry, you never need to approach the public they will come flooding to you "
Every poppy helps The Royal British Legion to support the Armed Forces both past and present and their families and £1.6 million is spent each week on delivering direct practical care and support to members of the Armed Forces community.
More than 40 million poppies will be made and distributed across the country this year and overseas by more than 350,000 collectors, aiming to raise £37 million.
If you want to show your respect and support for our Armed Forces family by volunteering two or more hours of your time in October and November contact Debbie Westlake by email firstname.lastname@example.com or call on 07880 780 207.

Do any of you do a specific "spring cleaning"? Around the house, or outside the house, or just in small places, like desk drawers and closets?
I tend to just do this type of cleaning whenever I feel like it or it really needs it, but lately I've been reorganizing my room at my dad's house, so I'm sure there will be more cleaning going on soon.
Spring Cleaning!

I am fairly new to MongoDB but am getting a hang of it, but... I can't seem to figure out how to do this:
I have a user which is a part of multiple groups. These groups posts news on there walls. Now I am trying to find all news from this users groups and then sort them after the newest ones.
Here is how I am trying to do this so far:
dataList.find({ "groupId": [groupIds], "tstamp": { $gt: tstamp }}).limit( 5 );
{"12345", "54321"}
You can use mongoDB
$in clause for this task:
dataList.find({ "groupId": {$in : groupIds}, "tstamp": { $gt: tstamp }}).limit( 5 );
groupIds must be an array of

Suggestions for improvement
- treat employees like they are worthy, even the students or those who do job shadowing. Give raises to those who deserve them (almost everyne) and at least cost of living (3%). Everything else goes up so they all need it to survive.
What I like about the company
Nice building

Employees are not appreciated. Employees are not recognized. Employees are not given raises for going above and beyond their job descriptions or even cost of living.

Just FYI, I did run across a workaround to one of the bugs in the WindowsXP WebDAV implementation. In particular, if I try to create a web folder by double clicking on "Add a network place" in the "My Network Places" folder, the wizard fails when it gets to the authentication step, where the symptoms are that it replaces your login name "foo" with "www.whatever.org\foo" where www.whatever.org is the site of the webdav location you were trying to link to. But if you fire up Word, and then do a "File: Open" command, and select "My Network Places" and then double click on the "Add a network place" entry in that folder, it fires up a slightly different wizard, which does not have the bug. Now how long will it take before Word is "fixed" to activate the buggy wizard instead? (:-).

Especially Right NowYes I am a selfish, controlling *****. He has never learned to live up to my standards, i found someone who has gone far beyond my standard, who im just now realizing is perfect for me.
My ex and I were talking through AIM tonight and we got into a huge fight, its almost as if I want him to be better then my current boyfriend. All of the sudden, with in the last few months, ive started to hate everything about my ex and i seem to be pushing him to be more like my current boyfriend. Now im confused because I love my current boyfriend so much and would never leave him but here i am trying to make my ex better then him. There is something about my ex that just draws me to him, im not sure what it is anymore though but whatever it is its still there. Maybe its just cause he was my first and thats impossible to let go of, i dont know. But what i do know is I just said some really mean **** to him and i feel so bad about it.
I told him i felt really bad about it and that im crying. I apologized for using him as a punching bag. I just cant stop crying over it.

HAWTHORNE, N.J (Sep. 5)
The Board of Education here today defied the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, and has ordered the town's six schools to continue the reading of the Bible and prayer recitation observances in classes which opened here today. The decision, which was voted unanimously by the Board, followed a ruling by a New Jersey court that the Supreme Court ban applied in this state.
Board of Education attorney Alexander Fasoli said that the Board's decision was in line with the policies of Alabama, Delaware and Florida. He said the attorneys general of those states feel that the Supreme Court decision "doesn't affect their states and we feel it doesn't affect ours."
Joseph Hoffman, counsel to the state education commissioner, said that nothing immediate would be done to force compliance by the Hawthorne School Board with the Supreme Court ruling. "We're not going to do anything now in the hope that local authorities can convince these people that what they are doing is wrong."
In nearby Elizabeth, the Rev. William S. Smothers, vicar of the Grace Episcopal Church, announced he would open his church 10 minutes before each school day to hold religious exercises for public school children.

DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine tried some fried chicken from Charlotte's SouthEnd before holding a rally at Davidson College.
Hillary Clinton's running mate talked about Donald Trump's apology to women, immigration and the importance of winning in North Carolina.
Tim Kaine arrived at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. From there, his motorcade took him to the SouthEnd where he did what so many locals and visitors do: stopped for fried Chicken at Prices' Chicken Coop.
"We got a big crew and everybody said this is the spot," Senator Kaine said.
From there it was on to Davidson College and a late afternoon rally.
"If we win North Carolina, we will be victorious November 8 and you can help us make that happen."
Kaine quickly turned to Donald Trump, saying Trump's explanation of his demeaning remarks about women as being nothing more than locker room talk just doesn't fly.
"I don't think that's what men do. I don't think that's locker room talk. It's abusive."
Kaine said he and Clinton would reform immigration and not make America a deportation nation.
"Hillary doesn't believe in trashing immigrants or women or Muslims.
Kaine scoffed at Trump's claim that he paid a questionable amount of taxes because his was smart, saying taxes are what supports teachers and the military.
"Don't tell me you are going to be a great president for the vets when you have been stiffing vets your entire life."
Kaine concluded by urging everyone to register to vote and then to vote, saying North Carolina is going to be key to winning the White House.

191 King Street East
(416) 703-1560
Cuisine: French
Type: Casual Dining
Pricing: Average – Moderate
Atmosphere: 7/10
Service: 8/10
Food: 9/10
My boyfriend is bilingual so he has a fascination with all things French. I saw a deal voucher for Le Petit Dejeuner and had to buy it.
It's a quaint little restaurant with a big window in the front but dim lighting in general. The atmosphere is a little confusing because the bar at the front is very posh but the tables and chairs remind me of a diner. To be honest, it didn't feel very "French".
You can order from their regular menu or have a three-course dinner for a set price. The dishes for the dinner change everyday so it's a nice little surprise.
I had the Garden Salad with Sliced Apples. They used green apples which gave it a mildly sour taste that went well with the vinagrette. The baked pita-like cracker was the crouton to this garden salad. I don't think it would've been the same without it.
The Tomato Bisque Soup was the other appetizer option and while it was smooth and had a pleasant taste, it didn't satisy like the salad did.
Oh the Maple Glazed Ribs with Twice-Baked Potato; I wish I had some right now. I like my ribs sweet rather than smokey so eating this was like heaven in my mouth. Beans are also one of my favourite vegetables and the cheese on the potato just made it perfect.
The Potato Crusted Tilapia was soft and boneless but when you compare it to my ribs, the portions just aren't equal. But I find that with any dish that's seafood. Because it costs so much more, you will get less; unless you pay more.
They're known for their waffles but I didn't know this until after my visit here. My Belgium Waffles with Apple Crumble still amazed me though because it had a unique texture. It wasn't soft and starchy like a cake but hard and crunchy like a soft cracker.
I will definitely be back here because I loved the food. Our server was also super helpful, especially when I asked her to repeat the menu.

Kamran had the top GPA in his law school class for the third straight year, so we went last night to a reception celebrating his genius.
There were other students there to receive certificates just for being on the Dean's List, and I felt such disgust for how pathetic and lowly they were that I wanted to comfort myself with a cured meats cookie sandwich, but my best friend and I are blogging about our love of low-carb eating these days, and I didn't want to disappoint all of the people whose lives we're changing.
So instead I amused myself by making Kamran reenact these amazing photos from another awards ceremony last year:
You think, "Slightly less creepy," right? But then you see it up close:
It's no wonder I have nightmares about showering in front of Simon Cowell.

Transportation advocates expressed disappointment at last week's announcement of a new two-year federal transportation program that lacks long sought-after reforms (see Tri-State's statements for New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut). While the bill maintains transit funding and avoids the worst cuts, it would make it harder for communities to provide input on major projects and improve street safety.
"While the bill allows the country to avoid a shutdown of transportation funding, it shuts down progress in many areas," Tri-State executive director Veronica Vanterpool said in a statement. This disappointment was echoed by the Transportation For America reform coalition, with Director James Corless saying that the final deal "doesn't begin to address the needs of a changing America in the 21st century."
The bill does avoid the most extreme cuts supported by many in the House, thanks in large part to members of Congress from our region. Congressmembers from both sides of the aisle successfully defeated proposals to cut all dedicated funding for public transportation, walking, and cycling projects. But while the new legislation takes the name of the Senate's bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), many of the Senate's reforms were dropped during House-Senate negotiations.
MAP-21 would provide transportation funding through September 2014 at roughly current levels. Below is a preliminary overview of some of MAP-21′s provisions and how they compare with current law and the Senate bill:
Highway Programs Resist Reform
Superficially, the legislation reorganizes the transportation system under a similar structure to the Senate's bill, consolidating the large number of federal programs which exist today into a smaller number of broad programs. But many of the Senate's accountability and multimodal reforms have been stripped from the bill. Unlike the Senate's bill, which had strong incentives for states to focus highway dollars on repair and maintenance, the conference legislation goes backwards from current law by dedicating virtually no funds to repair.
The bill's treatment of freight is also disappointing. The Senate's bill would have established a National Freight Program, a first-ever formula program providing funds for freight projects (including rail freight), but that was dropped from the bill. The bill does include some provisions establishing a national freight policy and designating a national freight network.
Transit Advances
The bill avoids cuts to transit and appears to significantly increase funding in New York (from $1.23 billion/year in FY12 to $1.43 billion in FY13 and $1.45 billion in FY14) and New Jersey (from $436M in FY12 to $507M in FY13 and $514M in FY14). In Connecticut, funding would go from $131M in FY12 to $144M in FY13 and $146M in FY14).
In addition, important transit reforms from the Senate's bill survived the negotations, including:
- Streamlining the New Starts program, which funds major expansion projects like the Second Avenue Subway and CTfastrak, by eliminating duplicative review steps and further streamlining projects under $100 million.
- A new "core capacity" category for New Starts projects that allows grants for projects that improve existing corridors and increase capacity by at least 10%. New Starts had been restricted to new service in new corridors; this change recognizes that in regions with large existing systems, the most worthy improvements may be on the existing network.
- A transit-oriented development planning program (at $10 million/year, down from $20 million/year in the Senate's bill). This program would provide planning grants for municipalities that are benefiting from New Starts projects.
However, other transit reforms fell out of the bill. The Senate's bill would have provided parity between the transit and parking commuter tax benefits. While the parking benefit is now $240/month, the transit benefit fell to $125/month at the beginning of the year, and this inequity will not be addressed in the final legislation. Also falling out of the bill were Senate measures to give transit agencies "targeted and temporary" flexibility to use some federal funds for operations during times of economic crisis.
Rollback of Pedestrian/Bicycle Funds, Environmental Review
Among the most disappointing aspects of the bill is its treatment of the small federal programs that fund pedestrian and bicycle projects. The Transportation Enhancements, Safe Routes to School, and Recreational Trails programs are combined into a new "Transportation Alternatives" program that cuts funding by about a third ($1.1 billion went to these three programs last year; under MAP-21 $750 million will go to these projects in the new program).
The bill sends half of the funding from this program directly to metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), an improvement over current law because MPOs are generally more responsive to local needs. However, the bill makes the other half of this funding optional, allowing states to "opt out" of the program. Currently, less than 3% of federal transportation funding is dedicated for pedestrian and bicycle projects, and local communities rely on these small programs to improve safety and promote economic development.
While the bill avoids the wholesale gutting of environmental review proposed by the House, it does make several changes to the process that could make it harder for local communities to provide input on projects. For example, projects receiving less than $5 million in federal funds would be exempted from federal review (which might lead to states breaking larger projects into small pieces to avoid scrutiny). It also levies financial penalties on agencies if they do not meet certain milestones under arbitrary deadlines — which could lead to hasty, error-prone reviews, opening projects to lawsuits and additional delays or burdening communities with additional environmental costs.
The federal TIFIA loan program was greatly expanded, from $122 million to $750 million in fiscal year 2013 and $1 billion in fiscal year 2014. However, at the same time, legislators removed most of the criteria for judging applications to the program (these criteria had included environmental sustainability, project significance, use of public-private partnerships, and more), turning it into a rolling application program instead. Though changes to the program's loan requirements make it easier for transit agencies to take advantage of the TIFIA program, the loss of criteria means that any project meeting the financial criteria would be accepted. For example, the first applications in line could be straightforward toll road projects from states in the South and Midwest.
Up to Municipalities and States to Lead
With a federal bill that provides stable funding but doesn't include major reforms, advocates responded by calling on local and state leaders to take up the mantle of reform.
"While New York does avoid cuts, funding isn't keeping pace with ridership increases," NYPIRG Straphangers Campaign senior attorney Gene Russianoff said. Similarly, Bike Walk Connecticut Executive Director Kelly Kennedy said that, "With less help coming from Washington, ConnDOT must step up its commitment to safety."
One of the most obvious ways for states to step up would be for them to promise they will not opt out of their federal pedestrian/bicycle funding, as the law allows.

THE awakening of non-party-aligned grassroots support for the Yes camp could change Scotland forever, writes Robin McAlpine
I DO not share the generalised contempt for politicians that seems to be the norm in Britain these days. Most of the politicians I've worked with got into politics for principled reasons and most are still driven by a desire to do the right thing – even in the face of permanent, intense media scrutiny.
But the flaws in party politics are well-known. You put out a pretty good but far from perfect white paper (a white paper is intended to be a discussion document) and the inevitable logic of political knockabout means that within a couple of months you are defending every line of it verbatim, as if it were a holy text.
Or you come up with a decidedly modest proposal for extra powers to be given to the Scottish Parliament and, in the heat of debate you find yourself calling it radical transformation.
We just shrug and accept that you can't have politics without politicians – occasionally wondering what it would look like if you could. Well. it would look like the nightly reality of the independence campaign.
The Yes campaign on the ground is really hundreds of autonomous local campaigns, each raising their own money and running their own events. They put on meetings for non-political audiences and they are constantly trying to make sure that platform speakers are mainly non-politicians. They want people who are not giving prepared answers or reading from a script.
In the space of four weeks in March I spoke at 18 public meetings. Multiply it and that would be 60 or 70 speakers on platforms in town halls all over Scotland. Of all of those speakers, you could count the number of elected politicians on your fingers, and most of those were local councillors with particular local knowledge.
So in a town hall somewhere near you tonight you can get the perspective of the campaigning non-politicians of Business for Scotland, or National Collective or Women for Independence, or Asians for Independence, or Trade Unionists for Yes or Labour for Independence or the Radical Independence Campaign – not to mention dozens of individual campaigners and writers. I've been at plenty of political meetings over the years but these are different. They are much busier, have a different tone and audience responses are different.
Unfairly or not, members of the public listen to politicians with great suspicion and ask questions such as: "Why didn't you…?" With non-political speakers you sense people trying to glean as much information as they can. They ask, 'could we…?'
And what is true in public meetings is true in spadefuls on social media where the No campaign is being outpaced by the Yes campaign three to one. It is exactly because the caricature of a campaign being run by "cybernats" from an SNP-funded bunker isn't true that its reach is so effective.
If you talk to shifting voters, they are sick of the media campaign altogether. They are looking for other sources. Trace those sources and more often than not you'll find someone at their work or among their friends and family who has been at a meeting or had a debate on Facebook.
That friend starts forwarding them material, probably from Business for Scotland or the Radical Independence Campaign and probably not from the SNP. It is this chain reaction which is moving the polls. To be able to feel passionate about politics without having to be branded with party colours is very attractive to a lot of people.By comparison the No campaign is still in a sort of feudal top-down mode. Former prime minister and chancellor Gordon Brown swings his big, clunking fist at a thousand butterflies – all grunt, no connection.
Because the No campaign hasn't given birth to a spontaneous grassroots movement, its leaders seem to assume that everyone on the other side must be a fake or a con, a front group or a stooge. They just don't seem to get what's actually happening.
The really exciting possibility is that this doesn't end. A highlight of the campaign for me was walking out of a community centre in a working-class area of south Edinburgh with a local grandmother.
"I've never done anything like this in my life before but I'm putting leaflets through doors because I feel so strongly" she said. "And you know what, when this is over I'm not going back to my sofa."
I hear a version of that story everywhere I go.
What happens if Scotland gets off its sofa and stays off its sofa? What happens if people start to demand a right to participate in decision-making? What if the language of this campaign wakes people up to the complete lack of community democracy in Scotland?
Or to put it another way, what if political party managers think they can get back to business as usual, managing a docile population for its own good after 18 September? What if the population refuses to be docile?
Better Together has run a 19th-century campaign in a 21st-century nation – and has been found out. We no longer accept being told what is good for us by "important people" – or not like we used to.
I suspect that there will be casualties right across Scottish politics after this campaign, as patience for control freaks and we-know-what's-good-for-you attitudes drops among people who have seen open, trusting, participative politics in action.
In turn, I suspect that Scotland's future political leaders will be the ones who capture the spirit of this change, not cynically but because they believe it.

For the most part, I have very positive feelings toward Southern Literature. Books like To Kill a Mockingbird and Mooncalf are some of my absolute favorites. When I began reading Their Eyes Were Watching God I assumed it would be similar to other Southern Literature books like To Kill a Mockingbird, which focuses on larger social issues like racism and justice. However, Their Eyes Were Watching God is a very different book with a very familiar setting and tone.
Their Eyes Were Watching God is about Janie Crawford. She is a fully realized, complicated, and human character. She is one of the better characters I have come across in some time. Throughout the book's pages, there is a genuine story arc for Janie. She progresses, has flaws, strengths, and is a different person at the end of the book than from who she was at the beginning of the book. When so many characters in other books are so flat, Janie Crawford is a fine example of a fine fictional character.
In addition to Janie, Their Eyes Were Watching God is filled with memorable and fully realized characters. Although the secondary characters don't have the same kind of story arc that Janie does, a reader would find it difficult to identify any character in the book which does not serve a valuable purpose. Tea Cake, for example, is an exceptionally written character. Hurston forces the reader to feel the uncertainty and doubt that Janie does. For a short time in the book, the reader is not entirely sure of Tea Cake's motives nor his loyalties. It was the best of mysteries, if it can be called that, which once answered, is fulfilling and heartbreaking when taken into context with the end of the book.
The one significant flaw I think the book does have is its inconsistency of themes, namely that of God and his role in our lives. The book dances around the question, but never fully embraces it or examines it. It's a passing thought, which is all the more ironic since the name of the book, Their Eyes Were Watching God, suggests a deeper examination of the question. The reader won't find that examination here.
Their Eyes Were Watching God is a beautifully written and deeply saddening story. From a character study perspective, it's superb. I consider it unique among the Southern Literature books I have read because it doesn't focus on the themes and social issues one would expect. Rather, it focuses on one woman, who she is and who she wants to be. I enjoyed reading about Janie Crawford, and Zora Neale Hurston deserves the credit she has received for creating such a vibrant and real character.

Game Day Feature: Northern brought them together
MSU-Northern defensive backs Josh and Trevor Baum didn't get the chance to play football together until college
November 1, 2013
Sometimes the words fate or destiny might be overused or even overly dramatic. But sometimes, that same description might be the only way to describe a positive situation that just comes together at the right place and at the right time.
But even if it wasn't fate that finally brought two brothers to the same football team, getting a chance to play together in college turned out to be the perfect situation.
Montana State University-Northern senior safety Josh Baum has played the last two seasons of collegiate football with younger brother Trevor Baum, currently a junior corner for the Lights. Last season was the first time the two brothers took the field for the same team and at the same time. Being four years apart in age, and spending some of their childhood apart, the opportunity was close at times, but just never happened.
The majority of Josh's youth football was played in Nevada, while Trevor's was played in California. And when Josh returned to California, his senior season in high school was Trevor's freshman season, keeping the two on different squads. Josh did take a couple of years off from football after high school, but returned to the gridiron for the College of the Siskiyous where he played one season before signing with the Lights. Trevor also signed with the College of Siskiyous after his senior season of prep football, but played his first year of junior college during Josh's first year with the Lights.
The two were always close off the field, but something always seemed to keep them just behind the curve when it came to suiting up for the same squad. That changed when Josh convinced Trevor to sign with the Lights, finally giving the two that elusive opportunity many brothers dream of.
"We just didn't know if things would pan out, especially taking the junior college route," Josh said. "But I honestly think it was something we always thought about or talked about, but it just didn't happen early on. Even when I was a senior on varsity in high school, and Trevor was a freshman, I wanted him to be on varsity so bad, that would have been a dream come true back then. But we were one year off.
"Watching each other play," Trevor added, "It was tough because we never got that chance because I lived with my mom in California and Josh lived with our dad in Nevada until high school. That was when I got to see Josh play, and we knew it would be great to play on the same team, we just needed the right opportunity."
Wrestling, baseball, and basketball were also in the Baum brothers' past, but football was where both Josh and Trevor wanted to excel. And they have gone step by step in the process.
Both were running backs in high school, and both were talented. But as they progressed through junior college and into the Lights' program, Josh and Trevor both got converted into defensive backs. Now the brothers take the field every weekend as starters and crucial defensive players for the Lights. The coaching staff has done well to give both of the Baum's successful collegiate careers, and just as important, having a brother on the team helped the transition into a foreign college program much more manageable for each.
"Coach (Jake) Eldridge (MSU-N defensive coordinator) has helped us a lot," Trevor said. "He put us in great positions to be successful. And he is such a competitive coach. He knows what he is talking about, and we know we are being coached by somebody who has experienced all of this, and was playing not too long ago.
"And it has been nice for both of us to have each other," Josh added about the transition at Northern. "I know my first year up here by myself, I knew my family wouldn't be making very many games. But luckily I talked Trevor into coming up here, and after games it is great having family around. This community has been great, so it wasn't like we just stood around with nobody to talk to after the home games, we were hugging people and shaking hands, but it has been nice having family around."
The transition was smooth, and the experience has been nothing but a positive one for both. But even happily having family around, the competition between two brothers is always present.
There were several issues Josh and Trevor could find neutral ground on, but as brothers, some things will never change. If asked who is stronger, Trevor graciously gave that to Josh since he is older, while Josh returned the credit, stating Trevor is more athletically strong. And when asked who is more football smart, both stepped up and took some credit, but settled on both because they have played the sport so long. And on the subject of who hits harder, that too ended in a tie as both had strong arguments for themselves and one another.
"I think it is equal on that one," Trevor said.
But Josh quickly added.
"I used to think it was me, but after seeing some of Trevor's hits, I don't know. But I will just assume whoever is watching game film on us doesn't want to take a hit from either of us."
But with the brotherly competition clearly seen in each of them, the subject of who is more competitive, and who is faster seemed to go unsettled.
"It doesn't matter if it is on the field, playing video games, or taking a shower first, it is a competition," Trevor said. "We have been competitive ever since we were little."
And on being faster, Josh took full credit for that one, but as younger brothers do, Trevor wanted to prove him wrong as soon as possible.
"We will just have to put the cleats on and find out I guess," Trevor said.
Competition has driven both of the Baum brothers, and they have had healthy careers because of it.
In 27 career games with Northern, Josh has 186 tackles, 10 for a loss, and three sacks. He also has one interception and 11 pass breakups. And in 17 career games with Northern, Trevor has recorded 70 tackles, three-and-a-half for a loss, 10 breakups, and one interception. Trevor has also been Northern's punter the last two seasons, while Josh earned All-Conference honors at safety last season. Both have played very well for the Lights the last couple of years, and they have played well together as defensive backs, especially since they know each other very well, and have been able to use that knowledge to feed off of each other and grow their game.
"Knowing each other and growing up together really helps us on the field," Josh said. "We can make checks and calls, and know who is going to take an in route and who is going to take the out route, so as far as communication, a lot of time we don't even need to be vocal that much. We just really feed off of each other I think."
Josh will be leaving the Northern program after only two more games this season, while Trevor has one season left. But for the past two seasons, the two brothers who started their football careers so close, but so far apart, have made lasting memories, together, in Northern's secondary and beyond.
"I don't think I can break a most memorable moment down into one play," Trevor said. "We have so many memories from different plays and games, it would be hard to pick just one instance or pick just one play. But I know there are no bad memories. We came up here to play together, so win or lose, no moment really tops another."

Don't be duped by turkey, fish, and veggie burgers and sandwiches. They sound healthier and less caloric than beef, but that might not be the case. At Red Robin a grilled turkey burger has 578 calories, 29g fat. Burger King's Premium Alaskan Fish sandwich has 530 calories, 28g fat while a Whopper Jr. without mayo has 260 calories, 10g fat. A Sedona Black Bean Burger at TGI Fridays has 870 calories, 49g fat.
Chinese food — even broccoli has calories. If you think you're getting off easy because of all of the vegetables in Chinese food, think again. There are 466 calories in a cup and a half of beef and broccoli stir-fry (and about a day's worth of sodium). One cup of fried rice has 333 calories. If you include a vegetable spring roll for 63 calories and three fortune cookies for about 100 calories, your meal clocks in at around 1000 calories. Cut down a little bit, you probably won't even notice.
Avoid eating from a large open bag. Count out your chips, crackers, and pretzels or only eat from a single portion size bag. Who can stop when there's an open bag of salty, crunchy food right in front of you? It's amazingly easy to keep mindlessly eating until the bag is empty. A dive to the bottom of a 9 ounce bag of chips (without dip) is 1,260 calories. One serving, about 15 chips, is 140 calories.
