At present, meat of different forms like pork, hamburger, chicken meat, and so forth are normally favored over the healthy green, vegetables and fruits. This fact poses health problems among meat-eaters. Nowadays meat is normally frozen and overcooked. It gives a quick burst of vitality and power. Every day utilization of meat and dairy products is at the center of our over the top protein consumption, which has been connected with dehydration and heat stroke, kidney and liver breakdowns, untimely maturing, coronary illness, and cancer. In any case, new study from the Singapore Chinese Health proposes eating red meat may influence your kidney well-being to be awful. Better to discover that we don't simply consume protein from meat. No such connection was observed with taking of poultry, fish, eggs, or dairy products, while soy and legumes.
About all the complex carbohydrates, for example, those in whole grains, beans or potatoes, have amino corrosive profile satisfactory for human protein needs. For protein intake, the foods have a high amino acid substance appropriate for the creation of enough human protein: Peas, lentils, chick peas, kidney beans, fish, tofu, green grapes, lettuce and kale. With regards to intake of red meat, the critical thing to recall is moderation, keeping portions in little quantity and cutoff serving sizes to 3 to 6 ounces while avoid eating one pound steak. Low or no-fat milk, eggs and beans are good sources of great proteins since they don't results to ammonia like some other proteins like red meat, and they're high in iron.

If your kids are off to college, or you're the student in college and looking for car insurance, you'll want to read further on the best auto insurance companies for college students.
Everyone who owns (or leases) a car has to have automobile liability insurance, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Of course, you need to know the requirements in the state where the vehicle is registered and driven, since the minimum amounts of coverage required vary greatly. And just having the minimum liability policy coverage may not protect the college student in an accident, whether he or she was at-fault or not.
Naturally, car insurance for college students is expensive. That's because they're still in the age bracket where the risk for insurers is higher. This generally continues until they reach the age of 25, but it is also affected by their driving history, the kind of car they drive, where they drive, how many miles they drive daily and other factors.
Finding the best auto insurance companies for college students means you have to do your research. It also means looking for the company that not only offers competitive rates, but also offers discounts applicable to college students or safe drivers. Maybe what will work the best is to have the college student on the parents' policy, to take advantage of multi-car, homeowners and other discounts. But it may also be that the college student needs to obtain his or her own policy separately. That's where taking advantage of discounts available to good students and safe drivers makes a world of difference.
Where should you start? The best recommendation is to begin with national companies licensed to do business in the state where your college student lives and goes to school, and where the car is registered. Automobile insurance companies that are highly rated by A.M. Best (A, A+ and A++) are a good first start. These companies include Allstate, Amica, American Family, GEICO, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Progressive, Safeco, State Farm, The Hartford, Travelers and others.
Of course, maintaining a safe driving record is probably the best thing your college student (or you) can do to ensure the lowest rates going forward. While insurance is necessary, not all policies are created equal. And that includes coverage from the best auto insurance companies for college students.
The key is to weigh and balance what each company offers in terms of coverage, rates, discounts, types of service, interaction with the customer, billing, payment options, resources, tools and other useful information.
Ask others you know who have auto insurance for their college students which company they use? Are they happy with the service the company provides? This is an excellent way to quickly separate the good from the better and the best. It also provides an easy way to get your search refined to a few choices.
So, get started early, do your research, ask any questions of the agent or company representative you need to finalize your choices. The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll be able to identify the best auto insurance companies for college students and secure the right policy.

Tigercandy Arts, Inc. Review
I am passionate about products and toys that encourage my children to use their imagination and that is how I discovered this gem Tigercandy Arts, Inc. Created by Tiger Kandel and Heather Schloss, their mission is to "get people of all ages and especially children excited about arts and crafts and being truly creative." Tigercandy Arts, Inc. utilizes their experience as artists, art educators and designers to allow your children the opportunity to express themselves and turn their own puppets into "works of art."
Tigercandy Arts, Inc. has some of the most creative and funStick Puppet Kits that I have ever seen. I recently had the chance to allow my children to create their own stick puppets with the Stick Puppet Party! Kit. Before we even started, we had so much fun deciding what stick puppets my children wanted to create. With the Stick Puppet Party! Kit by Tigercandy Arts, the sky is really the limit. We finally settled on a birthday party theme. We used photos of the kids that were the right size and they cut out the heads (or you can draw your own). Next we followed the easy steps on the instruction sheet and after over an hour of fun, laughter and lots of brainstorming my children had created "themselves", their beloved dog, Jack and of course, lovable "Mommy." After allowing the large size puppets to dry for 10 minutes, my children began scripting their stick puppet show. I couldn't believe how much effort and creativity they put into the planning and practice of their stick puppet show. That evening, they were so proud to "perform" for their dad after dinner and the show ended with much applause to their delight. Though the Stick Puppet Party! Kit is recommended for ages 6-adult, my 3, 4 and 5 years olds had no trouble at all assembling with supervision and a little help at times from me and to tell you the truth, it was so much fun that I would have wanted to "play" regardless.
The Stick Puppet Party! Kit would be such a fun group project at Thanksgiving or over the holidays when all the children get together and can use their creativity and even have a remembrance to take home with them. At only $16 for the Stick Puppet Party! Kit (Classic 5) kit and or $25 for the Stick Puppet Party! Kit(Classic 10) kit this is a very affordable and fun gift idea for the holidays or a sure way to make your upcoming party a hit with the kids.
To purchase the Stick Puppet Party! or to view the entire selection of Stick Puppet Party! Kits available at Tigercandy Arts, Inc. head over to their website. My kids had so much fun that I am planning to surprise them with another kit in their stocking just so I can have the pleasure of seeing what they stick puppets they want to create next.
Simply Stacie readers can save 10% using this discount code exclusive for Simply Stacie readers and valid on all Stick Puppet Party! Kits at Tigercandy Arts, Inc.: use code "Stacie" at checkout.

Books As Technology: IKEA vs Monks
IKEA created a clever ad comparing their catalog, the bookbook, (book technology) to that of a tablet / e-book. While this advertisement is funny, it's even funnier when juxtaposed with this video of a medieval "help desk" as users make the shift from scrolls to books. What is this technology you call the book?
A reply on Twitter brought this video to my attention this morning.
Last night this little girl did not want to go to sleep.

If you're working with a large organization to build your guide—or if you'll have a lot of information that needs to be added—you may want more than one person to be building a guide. It's never a good idea to share login credentials, but you can invite others to assist with our "Add Team Members" feature.
Watch this video to learn how to add guide collaborators, the difference between Admins and Editors, and how to manage your guide collaborators.
Add or Manage Guide Collaborators
On the Builder website locate the guide you want to work on. Navigate to the guide dashboard and click on the "Add Team Members" button near the top right corner of the screen.
In the window that appears, type the email address(es) of the colleague(s) you would like to invite. Don't forget to set the collaborator access level:
- Guide Admins can add or edit content, publish the guide, publish updates to the guide, compose or send notifications, and manage the collaborators list.
- Guide Editors can add or edit guide content.
In this window, Guide Admins can review existing collaborators. If any Editors need to be promoted to Admin, or any Admins need to be demoted to Editor, just click on the access level to the right of the person's name to make that change.
You can also remove a collaborator by clicking on the gear icon and selecting "Remove".
Only Guide Admins are able to copy the content of that guide into another guide.
Note: There is no limit to the number of collaborators you can have on your guide. Just remember that both Admins and Editors can make any changes to a guide in the Builder. If you will be working with a lot of people, be sure to plan and communicate with teammates well.
Accepting Invitations to Collaborate
If you've been invited to join a guide, look for an email in your inbox. To accept the invitation, you can either click the link contained in the email or—if you're already logged in to the Builder website—you can accept the invitation after clicking on the "bell icon" near the upper right corner of the page.

This is a review of NotTooPolished's polishes. I love NotTooPolished, because she makes great polishes, which is why she is the Indie maker I have the most of, plus she was one of the first indies that I ever got.
So these are all iPhone pics of my nails, so they are a little grainy.
Hope you can see past this!
First off, we start with Not Too Polished's Dragonstone. It's a beautiful black jelly base with bright red glitter.
This polish does take at least two coats though, so keep that in mind.
Onwards we go to the opposite side of the spectrum: the wonderfully spring-timey color of daffodil!
So for all you who don't know, daffodils are a flower that blooms in the very early spring.
They are a bright yellow petaled flower with a inside cup looking part that is generally darker yellow/orange color.
(They always remind me of one of the plants in the plants vs. zombies game) :P
Anyways, I wanted to show you a comparison of the colors that you can expect from Daffodil.
(In advance, excuse my nails, they are breaking like crazy for some reason, so they are sad nails :( )
On my thumb is one coat of Daffodil. You can see that it is a very sheer polish, but it gives a lovely hue of yellow.
On my index finger is one coat over white and my middle finger has two coats over white. You can see the big difference that an extra coat makes!
So I wanted to show case some other of Not Too Polished's polishes. On my index is Eye of Newt and on the middle finger is Freak of a Reindeer.
I love both of these polishes~
First off, Eye of Newt is also a great polish because it fits in with the spring theme. The yellows and greens are spring colors to a tee. :)
Freak of a Reindeer is amazing because it elevates brown polishes that often are classified as boring. It has many dimensions as there are different shapes and colors of brown and gold glitter in it.
Below are some other pictures I took of just plain Daffodil with Freak of a Reindeer as a topper.
Hope you enjoyed this post!
Until next time,

"A fly rod extends a fly fisher's being as surely as do imagination, empathy or prayer."
-David James Duncan
For many anglers, a fly rod is more than a fishing instrument. It's an antenna, capturing signals of the natural world. But what of the process that turns ordinary materials into extraordinary tools? And why do people around the world continue to spend their days happily wading in rivers if they do not keep what they capture?
Unveiling the magic of international camaraderie, fine craftsmanship and flowing water, Trout Grass tracks the 10,000-mile journey of bamboo around the world. From a lush forest in China's Guangdong Province to a rustic workshop in Montana this film follows the transition of bamboo from a living plant to a finished fly rod. As a renowned rod maker treks to the source of his inspiration and a craftsman half-way around the world feels the "spirit of the bamboo world" we find what it takes to convert a piece of grass into a six-sided baton ready to conduct an orchestra of trout and water.
This documentary highlights Hoagy Carmichael on his first visit to China, where he experiences the country's mystical bamboo forests. As a legendary split-cane fly rod craftsman and author of the art's seminal study (A Masters Guide to Building a Bamboo Fly Rod, with Everett Garrison), these far-off lands have fueled Hoagy's dreams for over 40 years.
While in China we follow the hands of a bamboo importer who travels to a remote Chinese village to individually sort through thousands of bamboo poles. He is looking for poles perfectly suited for bamboo rod makers around the world.
In Montana, we see master-builder Glenn Brackett tap into "the power of unseen hands" in his shop, while converting this hardy piece of grass into a fly rod. The result is an instrument so revered for its strength, precision and beauty one wonders if trout feel lucky when caught and released by one of Glenn's rods.
From the hands of a builder to the hands of an angler we follow narrator David James Duncan (The River Why, The Brothers K) and fly fishing legend Thomas McGuane (The Longest Silence, Ninety-two in the Shade) to one of Montana's resplendent waterways. Here, these two anglers reveal the magic of fishing with a fly rod made of grass and connecting with the order of rivers and flowing things.

CULTURAL CENTER OF BELGRADE, Trg Republike 5
In this lecture, Vukomanović assesses the thesis about the revitalization of religion in contemporary society from two different, but complementary, theoretical aspects. On the one hand, the notion of religion has been reconsidered in the light of the changes that took place in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Religious aspects of globalization are also part of this process. Instead of asking what religion is, or what it does, Vukomanović tackles, in more detail, the following question: what does religion entail – having in mind, in the first place, the different aspects or constitutive elements of religion (i.e. discourse, practice, community and institution). In other words, what aspects of religion experience revitalization, if revitalization of religion and not just religiosity is at issue?
On the other hand, he examines the very concept of modernity in the contemporary society, by taking into account the multiplicity of the modern cultural programs, as well as their constant dynamics. During the last several decades of the 20th century up to date, non-Western societies have experienced a significant re-interpretation, selection and re-formulation of the institutional models and political and social topics related to the modern Western civilization. This, of course, has implications for religious life in those societies.
Religion, today, enters very complex interactions with the ideological, political, cultural and economic systems. It is part of the globalization processes. However, through its institutions and their interpretative strategies, it still provides safe haven for the "protection of culture". Religions protect their own interpretative traditions that affirm, primarily, religious institutions.
In the world characterized by major dislocations of the ethnic, religious, and cultural minorities, religious institutions are potent bearers of the collective and group identities. This applies to the societies undergoing transformation, such as the Balkan societies. Religious and church institutions often respond to the challenges of modernization and secularization by a unique religization of modernity. In turn, any ethnification or religization of politics is a challenge to individual human rights.

You should never take a good friend for granted and today I am dedicating this post to a personal friend of mine who has enough dexterity in her listening ears to withstand my monetary hour long personal "podcasts." Her name is Soap but I call her my Money Friend because the majority of our topic revolve around the almighty dollar. Readers might not know this but…
I Love Money.
*waits for the waves of shuddering shock to die down*
I'm similar to a lot of people in the personal finance community. In real life, we are wealth-shy. It's another extension of stealth wealth but there's an active avoidance between even your closest friends and family. I deem them too close. My mother will develop a spending problem if she knew what we make and save per year. She'll call us unnatural hoarders for having a 70% savings rate. My mom is frugal only by force. If that lady gets an unexpected check, off to Macy's she goes to spend it on an ugly sweater and an ugly bag!
My Money Friend
My Money Friend was a former business partner of mine and because we were once business partners, it was natural for us to talk shop. Talking shop eventually lead us to the subject of money even after our business partnership ended. I became accustomed to talking money with her. This pretty much violated all the grounds of "never mix business with friends" advice though. Thankfully, our friendship hasn't soured yet. We even share the same PO box! 🙂
A Money Friend doesn't judge. I've tested the boundaries and I designated her as an open individual who will not judge me for my obsession with personal finance. I can talk forever about all the intrinsic details of personal finance that I'm familiar with. Then after forever, I can do another eternity of philosophical discussions of what it actually means to have wealth.
Money Friends has the following characteristics:
They are not INTRUSIVE
Money Friends should never be intrusive or overly curious. I hate giving specific numbers because when the numbers are out, all we do is focus on those numbers. It separate as well as divide from the core of the relationship. If someone asked about the numbers then they either have to retract that statement or be prepared for an awkward silence with me because I'm not spilling it.
They love you
My Money Friend doesn't understand half of what I'm saying. They don't need to, personal finance is not a big hobby for most people. But she loves this nerd enough to listen and try to decipher and engage follow-up questions. A lot of my ramblings goes over her head but she enjoys the company nonetheless.
No need for technical knowledge
She told me she thought credit cards were given to people who have done good deeds AKA Credit Karma (which is the name of a company…it's not actually about karma honey…). She told me because of her sheltered upbringing, she didn't know you had to actually pay back your credit cards until she was a grown adult. This leads me to the next point…
It can be mutually beneficial
One could argue a Money Friend is mutually beneficial. I need her for the moral support on sensitive subjects that I can't just toss out to anyone in my circle. I fear judgement and I value my privacy if they are what I consider…too close. She has come towards me seeking tax help and I've balanced her budget several times before. It's something I'm more than happy to do, so this relationship is mutually beneficial.
They're open minded
Money Friends are open-minded. They are too wonderful to judge you financially, wherever you are. Even if they happen to know your numbers, there's no fixation on that. That's really rare! Really! That would disqualify myself as a potential Money Friend. If I knew someone with 25x my salary than it would make me feel a bit like a smidge of 💩. That's kind of natural right? We are competitive creatures. I would become fixated on that aspect and forget about everything else that makes a person a great friend. Money Friends are hard to come by.
They possess humanness
It takes an enlightened person to understand that money is not the great equalizer. Money makes certain events less stressful but not any less sad. If my dog became sick tomorrow and I can afford to take her to the vet for surgery, that shouldn't disqualify me from feeling sad. I'm allowed to feel sad and a Money Friend will not take your ability to pay into consideration on the level of your sadness you're allowed. Bill Gates is allowed to feel sad just like anyone else, duh, because money up to a certain point is completely useless.
"Why is she complaining about a leaked roof? She can patch that up with a fraction of her husband's money." If someone said that to you, they're not Money Friend material. They're not even just friend material.
Separation from a best friend
One of my oldest, best-est friends doesn't know 90% of what's going in my financial life. That relationship is based on everything but the subject of money. And I'm afraid of what the topic of money will do to it; so I rather avoid it. No one knows about this blog besides my Money Friend and my husband. I would like to keep it that way.
They Can Be Long Distance
Very few romantic relationship survive long distance but a Money Friend is (arguably) better long distance. Besides the subject of money that bonds us, me and my Money Friend have a different mindset on a lot of things in terms of lifestyle, goals, beliefs. I am the type to look for a possible coupon in everything I do and everywhere I go but she is the type that would never touch a coupon because "if it's on sale, it's not going to be as good." So if we were even the same state, I would start questioning how our opposing view points might change our relationship for the worst.
Why A Money Friend Is Important
Before I started this blog I would rant my Money Friend's ear off everyday between my turnovers and daily errands because I had no one to talk to about something I was clearly obsessed with. I went on and on about which funds I was interested in, how much depreciation on the house is not taxed, how long we're thinking of holding onto X and how I got a $90 dollar jacket down to $15 dollars.
Thankfully, I am bothering her about 30% less now that I can unload some of these details on willing eyes and ears in the personal finance blogosphere. But yeah, long before this blog, I had to unload my ramblings about budgeting, investing, planning, real estate, and coupon deals with her for years. Money was the topic that I exclusively shared with her and no one else. Thanks to her, she has stopped the verbal flood gate that would have otherwise bored my husband to death. My Money Friend basically saved my marriage and at least a few other relationships not built on business or finance.

New York Yankees Houston Tickets
Even though their last World Series win was seven years ago, it takes a lot of gumption to be a record holder of the most won championship titles. The New York Yankees have won 27 World Series titles, 40 Al Pennants, 18 East Division titles and 5 Wild Card berths. 44 former Yanks have been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, along with 11 team managers.

New York Yankees Season Preview
The New York Yankees are in a middle of a rebuild and the team's outlook looks great for the upcoming season. There is enough talent in the side for the fans to turn a hopeful eye towards the 2017 season. Masahiro Tanaka, Luis Severino, Michael Pineda, Nathan Eovaldi and Chad Green form a powerful starting rotation. Each has a lot to prove this season especially after a disappointing run last year. Tanaka is looking for a solid career in pinstripes and after showing flashes of brilliance in 2016, is considered to be the ace in the Yankees side.
Fresh faces in lineup and a mix of veterans and young blood make the New York Yankees a competitive side. The players are excited about the Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees series, hoping for a clean sweep that will raise them in ranks. The fans are also looking forward to some live action and are rushing for their New York Yankees Houston tickets.

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 46; the forty-sixth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.
I had 10 tabs open on the browser and 15 windows opened on the screen. Beneath this chaotic congregation, lay a picture of us. I shuffled between windows to see the desktop background once in a while as I continued to ace the parallel worlds which shared my attention. The table too, was cluttered with papers, pen, paperweights, water bottle and coffee mug which regularly injected me with caffeinated blood. The small fluorescent table lamp highlighted a man fighting it out with all the might he had.
At 1:00 am, a small window could manage to make it's way as it popped up with a dew drop like sound. I was focussed as a hawk but couldn't resist a smile at that. A friend from a distant location had dropped in to catch up. I reclined back and exercised my neck. The chat window glared out to me. "A month more, my friend". My heart broke a little more as I closed it and stole a glance at the picture.
February, 2012
I tried another tie, third one this. They said it looked alright. I was not convinced though. Nonetheless, I adjusted it and prepared myself to face perhaps the biggest interview of my life. Only later that I'd realize life has challenges tailor made for each situation and there is no such thing as biggest-ever.
I gulped another glass of water. My legs in continuous motion. The red tie made me a little conscious too. I was to go next. Some of my friends tried soothing me down. And then my name was called out. At that, all voices came to a halt. That scared me. It indicated of a doomed fate. She held my hand and told me something that almost everyone you'd meet, says. Everything will be alright and all that.
They interviewed me and a day later told me that I was not suitable. I went jobless when everyone else bagged one, some had more than one. It was a blow to me. I wasn't that bad to be honest, may be just a little distracted, a little easy going.
February, 2013
I cancelled the flight tickets and the hotel bookings. Always the one to keep his cool, today it went a bit too far. She screamed, shouted and cried. I saw her through it and told her what she told me all the time. Everything will be alright. She didn't bother today. Her boyfriend was a jobless man. What else matters?
A little while later she called with temper flaring, and shouted again. This time for the cancellation. Not that she wanted to holiday with me but a jobless man made a choice without asking her. Today, I didn't try to please her. In my heart, I knew we were done. I knew it.
December 2014
She gave me her wedding card. She sent it online too and then came over at my place. It only made things worse. I was still jobless. I said she shouldn't have come. She said the same. I was talking about her coming to my place and she, about me coming into her life. I knew it. Didn't have to ask her spell it out but she did and that was a brutal murder of all the good times we had spent. I wished her luck and asked her to leave.
She called me all sorts of things before she left. She cared no more.
February 2015
Not having a job in this world is tough. Everything was lost but my father told me it's never so. I asked him what can be worse than being jobless. He had no answer, he understood my predicament. So, we looked for a couple of jobs online. Nothing suited my interests but he still stayed awake with me, the entire night.
He went to work next day, half awake and slogged for 14 hours. Came back and helped me search again.
Between the lines, he was telling me what working hard meant for him. I had never been a hard worker. Atmost someone who can slog when it gets too bad to not care.
His search for finding me a job was relentless. 54 year old, hadn't slept for two days, worked 14 hours each day and still going stronger than me at the search. He didn't deserve such a fate. I tried to get grips with my tears as two of them rolled down cheeks. I told him to go and sleep.
February 2016 - Today
It was this day a year back in time when my father shared my tears. Since that day, I went incognito and worked hard. It is amazing how life unfolds a new page everyday. I never thought I'd be here. In a month's time is my first release. My first product is going to go on the floor.
But for another month, I'll have to keep working like an ant, remain under the cover and tell my father, "Everything will be alright".

Written by Stephen Henshaw, P.G., President and CEO, EnviroForensics
As seen in the September 2010 issue of Cleaner & Launderer
You've found solvent contamination at your facility and its impacted groundwater or an adjacent property. You are probably thinking, not only is it costly to address the contamination, but it could also ruin my good business reputation. Have you ever thought that cleaning up environmental contamination could be good public relations? It can, it's a matter of selling the right message to your audience.
Clearly, one has to be careful in how you are addressing your contamination issue. Most people's biggest concern is that their neighbor's property will have contamination on it or that vapor intrusion is going into their neighbor's home or business and that the neighbors will sue them. While that may be a possibility, I've been conducting environmental investigations for a long time (ok almost 30 years, I'm old) and I rarely ever see that as an issue. When it is an issue it's almost always happens in reverse. A lawsuit is filed by a party or group of people against all of the parties that owned the property or business where contamination is allegedly emanating from. It is rarely that a drycleaner conducts a cleanup and they are now being sued. While PERC dry cleaning solvent is considered a known carcinogen, it is generally very difficult to attribute a person's adverse health condition to PERC exposure. That is to say that if someone that has cancer was exposed to PERC, they have likely been exposed to other chemicals that are also carcinogenic, making the direct link between the alleged PERC exposure and the health effect more difficult to legally prove.

The Top Ten Questions about the Palm Pixi, Answered
Some context: The Pixi is smaller than the Pre, it will probably be less expensive, and it's shaped like a BlackBerry rather than a sliding phone. Palm says the Pixi is more angled towards messaging than towards multimedia thus the new Facebook app, Yahoo! IM integration, and always-accessible keyboard.
1.) Sprint, again? Why aren't other carriers getting WebOS love?
"We have shown in a very short period of time that we've started to deploy WebOS devices across the world. ... Sprint's been a great partner for us. Today's day one and Sprint is our partner. We're very glad to have them and it gives us all kinds of different benefits in terms of their 3G network being the most reliable."
2.) HTC says a 2.8-inch screen is too small for capacitive touch. Your response?
"That's not true. It really depends upon how your UI is created. You can create a UI that will respond just fine with your capacitive panel at that side, but there are trade-offs you have to make, and perhaps those are trade-offs they chose not to make."
3.) What processor is being used here?
It's a Qualcomm MSM 7627, a lower-cost alternative to the TI OMAP3 used in the Palm Pre, McClendon said. He didn't give any more details, but the MSM7627 uses the ARM11 architecture, which is potentially slower and less expensive than the Cortex-A8 used in the Pre.
4.) How do you fit WebOS on a smaller screen?
"The spacing between [icons] is slightly less and there's more scrolling involved. If I go to the email application, there's less emails that can be seen on a particular page. ... But if a developer creates their application to be mindful of the fact that the vertical dimension can change, which they should do already because of the notification bar. Really, it's just a matter of scrolling more."
5.) Are there any ways (other than screen size) the Pre is better than the Pixi?
"On the Pre, you have better media performance in terms of higher frame rates and larger resolutions. [The Pixi] will play H.264 at this sub-HVGA size ... whereas on the Pre, it'll play at full HVGA at 30 frames per second."
6.) Why no Wi-Fi?
"What we felt was important for this target demographic was the form factor, the size ... we didn't think it was as important to this particular target customer."
7.) Will the Facebook app or Yahoo integration be available for the Pre?
"We're not announcing that right now ... but it is something we could deploy."
8.) Will all of the Pre's apps run on the Pixi?
"If they follow the guidelines that we provided them, the app will work on both devices."
9.) How did you pick the artists for the "artist backs?"
"That's just the beginning. Right now, as a California company and wanting to support new up and coming artists, we chose them from our backyard.
10.) What is this all going to cost?
No comment.

Farmers Feed the World (FFTW) is a program developed originally to integrate Syrian refugees settling in Ontario with food and agricultural jobs and entrepreneurship. The mandate of this program is to provide a path for self-sustainability for refugees and all newcomers within agriculture and provides opportunities for these newcomers to become active in our economy.
The target areas for this project is the Province of Ontario, as currently Ontario is experiencing a large labour shortage in several areas including agricultural and industrial venues linked to food plant processing.
Farmers Feed the World (FFTW) received the Premier's Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence from the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
Currently the program assists newcomers by providing information online on Canadian agricultural practices, starting a farm and selling food in Ontario, regulations regarding work and food safety, legal information regarding land transactions and leasing are available through recorded info sessions webinar links in this website, available in Arabic and English.
If you are a newcomer and have an interest in working in agriculture, you have farming experience, or have a desire to start your own agri-business this information will be useful in pursuing your goals.
We will also be adding a section in the website with agricultural opportunities in Ontario that will be managed and updated by our office on a regular basis.The section will provide information on land for sale or lease and current food and agricultural jobs in Ontario

The New England Patriot Way
January 29, 2017
It's the New England Patriots again in the Super Bowl and we all have to sit and watch them. We love our football and must watch the Super Bowl whoever is in it. You will have to pick a side, eat your cocktail wieners and hopefully your football poll numbers cash in. Okay, some of you actually want the Patriots to win and some of you like Tom Brady. I would say a majority of you will pull for Atlanta just because they haven't won the big one.
Everybody loves a winner, nobody loves a constant winner unless you have a connection. If you are a gambler, you love the Patriots. Now for the rest of us who acknowledge the winning ways of the Pats but are really tired of their greatness, enough already. Tom Brady is great, no brainer, Bill Belichick is great, but the rest of the team is a constant shuffling of pieces. How do they do it? How can two guys keep this team so good for so long.
While throwing away any consideration of luck, statistics and analytics, cast of great players all you have left to consider is a system. The Patriots do have a way if you haven't noticed by now. The number one thing I can say why they win is that they don't beat themselves. Rarely do you see them losing the turnover battle or being besieged by mindless penalties. There will be ways to beat them and if you can out hustle, out coach, are healthier, don't make mistakes, make great plays then you have a chance.
Of course, having a quarterback that is one of best of all time under center is a huge part of the equation. Brady is deadly accurate and audiblizes at the line in a masterful way. On the contrary, he rarely has the same receiver core from season to season and sometimes game to game. They don't have league leaders in running yardage or the league leaders in receptions. He did have the best tight end in Rob Gronkowski, but he is out for the season.
This year they have the number one rated defense in the league, led by a group of I don't knows. They will face their biggest challenge of the year against the explosive Atlanta offense. The Patriots defense typically has an approach to most big games as witnessed many times. They try to take away the biggest offensive threat and challenge you to beat them in other ways. Julio Jones is the biggest threat the Falcons have so look for the Patriots to throw a lot of double coverage his way. Fortunate for the Falcons they are talented in the running game and have the high-level play of quarterback Matt Ryan, probably the league MVP.
Back to the winning ways of the Patriots and the big question of how do they do it. I think of it as "way of doing things." Just like successful companies have a certain business acumen, culture and environment the Patriots have that in place. Players go to New England to be part of that winning culture and sometimes take a cut in pay to do so. I don't know the Belichick creed per say but it obviously it is a code of excellence that permeates through the team. If you are underperforming due to lack of preparation and hard work, then you will be sent packing. I see the brunt and bland Belichick as a no-nonsense presence and not a warm fuzzy ego builder. If you need constant reinforcement of your worthiness as player then, again, you probably won't last on his team.
The Patriots machine is here again and will be in the play offs for years to come as long as the system doesn't break down. When Brady had to sit out four games for the deflated football quagmire, the Patriots won three of those games. The point is, that without Brady, the team is faceless but is more a like a cyborg, they just methodically beat your team. On Super Bowl Sunday it will be your chance to root against the Patriot machine and hopefully your Atlanta squad can rise to highest level to slay them. It won't be easy but that should make for a memorable game for the ages.

To answer the question of how to motivate intermediate French immersion school students to speak French in and out of the classroom, to step outside of the academic French and into the casual, conversational arena, it is necessary to consider their interests beyond the classroom. In this age of electronic resources, entertainment, games, education and employment, is it any wonder that students can be motivated through the use of electronics in the classroom?
Once introduced to the application, the students dove in with an incredible ability to decode all the options and adeptly maneuver through the vast possibility of character, scenes, props and actions. Within 30 minutes, they knew more about the program than I had after two hours. The difficulty at this point was not engaging them but in keeping them on the specific task rather than the creative cycle of character creation. Given the limited number of computer lab hours in the week, I was not able to devote too much time to the actual video creation. At least half of the process was spent researching, writing and refining the video script. The students were given the option to create their characters at home, which a good number of them decided to do. The vast majority also looked for outside class time to work on the video more as we neared the deadline for completion.
The application provides a vast number of options to modify the video, which gave the students serious motivation, personal investment, and creative control as well as enabling them to produce very unique, personalized videos. Another fabulous feature was the ability to add the students' own audio to the characters and change the vocal tone, which inevitably had students not only just speaking French, but also playing with the language, laughing at themselves and each other and really immersing themselves in the project.
Another option to make a short video as opposed to a movie would enable teachers to undertake a shorter project, when necessary. While not allowing for as much creative control, this would be a great option for the younger classes or a good beginning step to introduce the program without all the (sometimes distracting) options the first time around.
Ultimately, the project was a fantastic, well-received, motivating, engaging task that helped me realize my goal to encourage French language conversation outside the classroom while engaging students in French conversation and research inside the classroom.

Mary Anne Barkhouse, Boreal Baroque
In Mary Anne Barkhouses Boreal Baroque, the works setting is inspired by the palatial grounds at Versailles where the wild is juxtaposed with the wildly opulent.
Boreal Baroque is a touring exhibition featuring the work of nationally acclaimed artist Mary Anne Barkhouse. The exhibition incorporates exquisite carvings of all kinds of Boreal animals, including the rabbit, owl, coyote, and beaver, and juxtaposes them against elegant, hand-made Baroque-style furniture. It is a playful yet haunting display of Barkhouse's belief in the persistent power of nature and animals in our daily lives and consciousness.
The exhibition conjures wild animals' survival, adaptation, and evolution into the 9th, 20th, and 21st centuries, mixing what the artist calls "the wild" with "the wildly opulent." Curator Linda Jansma describes Boreal Baroque as optimistic "despite the grim news of the world's imminent demise," as the animals have "evicted humans from their 'habitat' and converse on the chaise longue and confidante sofas of a Louis XIV setting." Indeed, the exhibition asks that we see the inhabitants of the Boreal Forest not as resources for our own use, but as animals "assured of their rightful place in the palace."
Boreal Baroque is organized and circulated by the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa, and curated by Linda Jansma. The exhibition's presentation at the Mendel Art Gallery is its only stop in Western Canada.
Barkhouse belongs to the Nimpkish band, Kwakiuti First Nations and currently lives in the Haliburton Highlands. Her sculptural work examines environmental concerns and indigenous culture through the use of animal imagery. Wolves, ravens, moose and beaver are juxtaposed against a diversity of background situations. Mary Anne was present for this opening and gave a public lecture.
Tanya Lukin-Linklater, aiya!3
murmur, Tanya Lukin Linklater; photo credit J Proctor and Marc Chalifoux
Tanya Lukin Linklater originates from the Native Villages of Port Lions and Afognak in the Kodiak archipelago of southwestern Alaska. Based in Northern Ontario, she is a practicing performance artist, choreographer and writer. In 2010 she performed a site specific work at Mapping Resistances curated by Wanda Nanibush in response to the 20th anniversary of the Oka resistance; she also performed on frozen Lake Nipissing, in a train container, and railway station, and presented a new work at the 6th Annual Aboriginal Choreographers Workshop. Her performances in Canada and U.S. occur in reflecting pools, university campuses, Native villages, galleries and festivals. Tanya's artistic practice centers often on memory and she experiments with the relationship between the body, sound, song and narrative. In September, she presented a new experimental work "aiya!" for Native Women in the Arts' Catalyst Café curated by Wanda Nanabush. "aiya!" is a sound performance utilizing deconstructed Alutiiq language, experimental song and guttural sounds.
Tanya studied at Stanford University (BA Honors) where she was awarded the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship and the Louis Sudler Prize in the Creative and Performing Arts. In 2010 she was awarded the Chalmers Professional Development Grant by Ontario Arts Council. Her additional training includes dance at the Banff Centre of the Arts, Mile Zero Dance (Edmonton) and the centre for Indigenous Theatre (Toronto). She received her masters in Education in 2004 from the University of Alberta.
Emergence Evolution
Leanne LHirondelle
In 1998 Tribe put out a call for submissions for emerging artists who work in media, visual and performing art. A selection committee met in August 1998 to select the work. There were six artists chosen from across Canada: three Saskatchewan based (Lita Fontaine, Leanne LHirondelle and Chelli Nighttraveller), on B.C. based (Michelle McGough), Nova Scotia based (Michelle Sillyboy) and on Ontario based (Tracy Anthony).

C. Maxx Stevens
The current issues in the Native community is what inspires Stevens to produce the work she creates. She uses installations as a vehicle to tell her stories in the sense of being a contemporary visual storyteller. She feels her works speaks of the importance of cultural values as well as being an artist in the contemporary art community. Using common objects to communicate home, education, traditions and modern life as any person living in todays society yet with a twist of irony that one would view from the Native people perceptions and relationship with the world around them. Traditionally the storyteller tells stories that touches the listener as well as educating them, she see her installations as being part of that tradition.
She has exhibited in the Boise Art Museum, the Smithsonian Museum and the Hood Museum at Dartmouth University. Her work has also been included in the group exhibition Reservation X which was curated by Gerald McMasters.
Stevens is a member of the Seminole Nations who was born in Wewoka, Oklahoma and grew up in Wichita Kansas. She attended Haskell Indian Junior College, Wichita State University and received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University in 1987. Her work encompasses both sculpture and installation.
Shelley Niro, Taste of Heaven
Shelley Niro, Taste of Heaven. 1999
Taste of Heaven, a solo exhibition by artist Shelley Niro. Integral to the exhibition was visual memory landscape as symbol. Particularly cogent to aboriginal peoples in a contemporary context, visual memory landscape is an important touchstone vital to the healing process. It is through our ability to confront and acknowledge grievances, suffering, achievements, successes and contributions that we are able to advance both our individual and collective healing. For more than 500 years, aboriginal peoples have been relegated to the margins of mainstream society, manipulated and packaged into a Fourth world concept and made to feel displaced in our own homeland. Although many aboriginal peoples are still trapped in a state of denial, with poverty playing a significant role maintaining this mind-set, many others like Niro, are negotiating a way out of the grieving cycle.
Robert Houle, Palisade
Robert Houle, Palisade. 1999
Co-presented with AKA Gallery, this was the first solo exhibition in Saskatchewan for this senior First Nations artist. Originally from Manitoba, now based in Toronto, Houle created new work for the exhibition, dealing with the spread of small pox among native people as a form of planned genocide. The exhibition also included a digitally produced image mounted on a billboard across from the gallery. In addition to Saskatoon, the billboard was presented in Prince Albert and Estevan through collaboration with the Estevan National Exhibition Centre and The Little Gallery.
Michael Belmore, Fly By Wire
Michael Belmore, Fly By Wire. 2001
As with many things from the past, our ability to decipher and understand their true meaning have either been lost or confused along the way. Western society has fostered many advances over the previous centuries which eventually lead us to our current dot.com reality. We live in a society that is increasingly defined by a simple language of 1s and 0s. A language that is not readily understood by the mass of individuals who use technology. Todays environment has at times left us disjointed and removed from ourselves. It is this distance from things that have relevance to our lives that is being addressed in this exhibition. Michael Belmore graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1994. His work, which utilizes diverse materials including acrylic, metal, wood, photography and text has been exhibited nationally since 1988. Belmore is of Ojibway heritage and currently lives near Minden in the Haliburton Heighlands.
Jin-me Yoon, UNBIDDEN
Jin-me Yoon, UNBIDDEN. 2006
This exhibition consists of a major new installation by artist Jin-me Yoon, Associate Professor of Visual Art at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver and marks the first solo tour of her work. Thematically consistent with her previous productions that explore the relationship between memory, identity and place, the installation uses staged video performances and photographs to examine the displacement of peoples both temporarily and spatially, through wars and exile. Unbidden refers to images and memories of uncertain origin that involuntarily surface to consciousness. Yoon presents the viewer with scenarios that are both strange and familiar; it is uncertain if the actions that occur allude to real events, or whether they derive from television productions, Hollywood movies or archival images.
Co-Sponsored by TRIBE & the UofS Department of Art and Art History
Mary Anne Barkhouse, Some Like it Shot
Mary Anne Barkhouse, Some Like it Shot. 2000.
Co-presented by AKA, this is the first Saskatchewan exhibition by First Nations artist Mary Anne Barkhouse. Animals, usually wild, are frequent images in Barkhouses multimedia works. Bo observing animals in their natural, sometimes controlled environments, she reveals the adverse effect human behavior has had on our physical and social world. Her new work will further explore from a personal perspective, the diversity of influences and pressures that are exerted upon aboriginal individuals and subsequent social and political choices that we must make at this point in time. A descendant of a long line of artists from the Nimpkish band, Kwagiutl Nation of Alert Bay, Barkhouse is now based in Ontario.
Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, An Indian Shooting the Indian Act.
Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, An Indian Shooting the Indian Act. 1999
An Indian Shooting the Indian Act is an installation by Coastal Salish artist Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun. The show is an installation of a performance originally done in England in the Spring of 1998. The exhibition consisted of a number of Framed Indian Act Documents, which have been shot with a shotgun by the artist. There was also a video component to the piece and plans distribute the Indian Act to various government agencies, ministers, etc. Mr. Paul was present at the opening of this exhibition and gave and artist talk. Tribe was proud to debut a new documentary about Lawrence Paul produced by the National Film Board (Yuxweluptun Man of Masks). This was the first time this documentary was screened by the public.

Jeff Thomas, Mediating Violence Offsite Public Art Project. 2002
In partnership with AKA, this exhibition of works were displayed in media-driven venues around Saskatoon. These venues included street ads, newspaper or magazine ads, television spots or bus shelters. The theme of the exhibition surrounds violence and the effect it has on our communities. The project approaches the notion of The Media as venue of cultural change, not simply a reflection of it. Jeff Thomas was asked to participate in this project and the images shown are his. He is a photographer and muli-media artist based out of Ottawa. He uses photography as a tool to confront and change stereotypical images of First Nations people. He examined contemporary Indian identity from the perspective of an insider, juxtaposing his own current images to the historical representations that have helped to create the stereotypes if First Nations People.
James Luna, The Chapel of the Sacred Colours
James Luna, performance: The Chapel of the Sacred Colours. 2000
James Luna is a conceptual and performance artist, who forces viewers to reexamine Indian lives through the eyes of the Indian. Luna, an expert at parodies throws Indian stereotypes back in the viewers faces and uses himself as a two way mirror, to view himself as well as show ourselves as we are. He uses humor and irony (much like story tellers of previous generations) to relate stories without romance or cliche.
Hulleah Tsinhnajinnie, An Aboriginal World View
Hulleah Tsinhnajinnie, An Aboriginal World View. October 2001
This exhibition of digitized photographs was in partnership with T.P.G. and marks her Canadian debut. Hulleah Tsinhnajinnie (Navajo/Creek/Seminole) is an American artist, writer and filmmaker hailing from Phoenix Arizona. In this body of work, Hulleah employs found photographs, overlaying images with text and/or other images that comment on the content of the picture. She often uses turn of the century studio portraits of Native Americans which, in combination with the texts, refer the viewer to the past. They suggest pressure to assimilate from one culture into another and through that process, the loss of the particularness of language, identity and history. Hulleah processes the images through digitization, in effect re-mastering the images, re-capturing the content, then reformatting the message to bend the original to her own ends. For Hulleah, photographs are lessons and photography is a way to keep Native communities strong with their visions (more…)
Colleen Cutschall, The Stargate Codices
Colleen Cutschall, The Stargate Codices. February 2002
Colleen Cutshcall began her training with noted painter Oscar Howe in the late 1960s. Graduating with a B.F.A. from Barat College in Illinois in 11973, and a M.S. Ed. from Black Hills State College in 1976, she has taught and worked extensively in integrated curriculum development. Primarily a painter, Cutschall has also developed a technique which replicates elaborate beadwork and often works in installation. Cutschall uses both natural and new materials and her research into First Nations ritual, cosmology, mythology, astronomy and current issues are developed into works intended to educate and lay the critical foundations for a globally sustainable future. Her work is inspired by a distinctly Lakota world view and enhanced by the exploration of other cultures and religions. Stargates and portals mediates between the traditional beliefs of a people and the uncertainty of histories past and future.
Brandlee LaRocque and Kevin Kelly, Land Shift
Brandlee LaRocque and Kevin Kelly, Land Shift. 1999
Tribe in partnership with AKA Gallery present Land Shift. The exhibition dealt with land use and issues surrounding changes in human relationships to the land. LaRocques sculpural installation used found objects combined with traditional hide stretchers, in reference to the Aboriginal tradition of adaptation.
Edward Poitras, Drawing a line for a souvenir
Edward Poitras, Drawing a line for a souvenir from the exhibition Marking Time. 2005
Structured around the concept of passing, marking, remembering and imaging time and its affect of the people and the land, Marking Time presents a complex interplay of resonating images and ideas. Edward Poitras presents 2,000 pounds of glossy golden rope on varied sized spools. The starting point for this piece was a rumour re-circulated on the web site of The Midland Historical Volunteers 1885. The website states that the rope used to hang Riel was sold by entrepreneurs in foot long lengths as souvenirs after his execution at the Mounted Police Barracks in Regina.
Frank Shebageget , Quantification
Frank Shebageget , Quantification. February 2003
Frank Shebageget, Ojibway, is a sculputre/installation artist that employs a variety of materials to arrive at a comprehensive presentation of idea and aesthetic. Elements such as wood and copper are used for their formal properties as their historical and cultural implications. In exploring issues of native culture and its representations, his works have dealt with the idea of repetition. With elements of quantification, in the form of statistics (eg. population and death rates), repetition empowers the objects and space, creating an environment that reveals the voids in his identity. A way of understanding culture is to comment on what is missing.
Wally Dion, Red Worker
Wally Dion, Red Worker from the exhibition No Word for Goodbye. 2006
Even in instances where language and culture disappear through trauma of assimilation and prejudice, there remain the remnants of the philosophies that nurture survival. Felicia Gay articulates, Language embodies the way a society thinks. Through learning and speaking a particular language, an individual absorbs the collective thought processes of a people.(p78) Though First Nations languages have struggled in these last generations to regenerate fluent speakers; those remnants that are intricately tied to language remain as a collective thought process or in other words produce a First Nations worldview. In the Cree language and in numerous other First Nation languages there is no work for goodbye; after all it is an English and Christian construct meaning God be with you. The English connotation that coincides with goodbye is to part with a blessing but also has a connotation of finality that is not seen in most if not all First Nation languages in Canada. The notion of cycles touches not only culture;but also touches on the way we perceive others and ourselves. When Europe painted or photographed Indians, their worldview was linear. At the time the Indian was seen as something that would die or cease to exist. Our First Nations worldview is not linear but cyclical. That is why our languages do not contain a concept of finality. When we look at ourselves with our worldview, we do not conceive an end. There is no word for goodbye; the absence of finality in our language gives First Nation a place of resistance and creates a place for transformation. Language is a tactic of survival. This is the purpose of No Word for Goodbye.

BTUh Rating:
There are circumstances in which a cellar design may require a larger unit due to existing restrictions. Building materials such as glass, stone, concrete, etc. do not offer the insulation capacity required to maintain the optimal cellar environment. We recommend purchasing a unit with a larger capacity to compensate for design limitations. * Please utilize our Cellar Wizard in order to ensure you are selecting the proper cooling unit for your application. Undersized cooling units can lead to premature failure and/or prevent the system from reaching the desired set temperature. As a result, they are not covered under warranty.

I have been using whisperkool products for many years. This extreme version seems to be a definite step up. It runs much more quietly than the regular version and the motor does not seem like it is laboring at all.
Posted by T. L. Young on Jul 1st 2013
Unit has been operational for 6+ months - just had our first serious heat wave (96 degrees) and unit performed perfectly. Humidity stayed relatively high on medium setting, despite heat and lack of humidity in the climate. Only hiccup was initial shipment that failed to provide bottle probe. Customer service and technical reps were excellent and got probe here immediately - entire experience with staff has been excellent. Product is capable of maintaining proper temperature and humidity in a very difficult climate using through-the-wall installation.

We recently purchased an Extreme Platinum 8000 unit ... for our purpose-built 1,000 cu. ft. residential wine cellar, which is adjacent to our fully-vented garage. It was installed by your crew on April 12th, and after an initial adjustment to the Humidity Management Enhancement system, has performed flawlessly. It is so much quieter....During the past three weeks, we have been ably assisted and advised by Customer Service. They were very amiable, thoroughly knowledgeable and very professional. I spoke with almost daily for advise and guidance, and they have always been patient and very prompt in returning my calls. Also, the delivery/install crew leader was very knowledgeable and innovative, easily overcoming some installation problems.

In 2003, the U.S. government spent almost 4 billion dollars recruiting soldiers for our nation's all volunteer military forces. A portion of this budget was allocated to recruit thousands of high school students across the country - a practice which has been facilitated by the No Child Left Behind act. The federal law requires that schools receiving federal funds grant military recruiters the same access to high schools as college and career counselors have. Critics say that the military should not have a presence on high school campuses in the first place.
In this report, the Army granted us complete access as it traveled to a large San Diego high school. You will see recruiters and soldiers talk to students about life in the Army as well as visit the Army's 1.1 million dollar Aviation Van. This high tech truck is equipped with flight simulators, a cockpit of an Apache helicopter and interactive video war games.
The recruiters we spoke to say they see themselves as counselors – merely presenting students with opportunities after high school. But critics argue that recruiters do not paint an accurate picture of the military and act more like salesmen. We take an inside look at the relationship between the military and the recruitment of high school students.

Now it's March, and I've been hiding from my impending adventure. I've been playing music, enjoying the winter rhythm, ice skating, playing electronic games and...cleaning the barn. There is a connection. My boat needs a place to winter and I need a workspace to begin preparing fishing gear for the season.
A paragraph to set the stage. The barn could be accessed by walking sideways, stepping over, crawling under a tangle of garden implements, power equipment, tools, kites, boogie boards, lawn chairs, carboard boxes we might want to use someday, flower pots, lumber in every length and width, just plain trash, a dozen or so rental bikes, strollers, hula hoops, lawn decorations and a waffer-thin after dinner mint. So far, just an average family stuff depot. In addition, however, lurking darkly under and behind the fluorescent plastic kid and family items, are an assortment of industrial wood and metal working tools from the age of steam when everything was built locomotive style. The metal behemoths are accessorized with many, many bushels of metal pulleys, wheels, rusted auto parts, broken and seized tools, scrap iron, belts, hoses, two engine blocks and lots of things I can't identify.
Cleaning out the barn was a worthy challenge. Many days were spent carrying, skidding, prying-sometimes just for that next half inch. Remarks got uttered. This island of Matinicus puts one in touch with two conflicting priorities which make me a Distraught Fellow. First , you shouldn't throw away that axle because you might need it some day. Second, there's no leaving things on the curb for the recycling truck. The cheapness of things and the work it takes to manage an overabundance of them. The dearness of space to move and function.
The bandsaw, drill press and one of the lathes have homes now thanks to Craigslist, Uncle Henry's, John Deere and R.K.. The larger lathe, weighing a ton and a half give or take a quarter, is still standing like Eeyore at the end of the driveway. The totes of metals are off to be recycled. The town recycling program has experienced a surge in patronage. Goodwill got some things. A practice burn pile got a little larger. I owe some big favors.

Hi, my name is Kim and I am addicted to books. See? I can admit it!!
This is one of the few books that I read AFTER seeing the movie, the movie making me want to read it when I previously had no interest. And I loved it and the premise of the story.
The story opens with Thomas, locked in a metal box-like lift that is moving through the darkness. He remembers nothing more about his life than his name, although he has flitting memories of other random knowledge with no connection to anything else. When the Box finally stops, the ceiling doors open and he finds himself surrounded by strangers, boys like him with no memories of their lives before coming to the Glade. Each of them has come to the Glade in the same mysterious way, in the Box with no memories beyond their names. An enormous maze surrounds the Glade behind towering walls, inhabited by mysterious half-human/half-mechanical creatures called Grievers that usually only come out at night, but which are deadly. Because of them, no one is allowed into the maze, with the exception of the Runners. The Runners are Gladers assigned to run through it each day, mapping it and searching for a way through it. From the beginning, Thomas is more curious than most, almost obsessed with finding a way out. He becomes desperate to recover his lost memories and to find answers about the Glade and why they were all there. There are moments throughout the book that underscore that Thomas is somehow different, somehow integral to the Glade and to the Maze and to whomever is behind it all, a mysterious group of people known as WICKED.
There is so much mystery surrounding the stroy and the boys living in the community of the Glade. We know of WICKED, but very little about them, about who they are, what they are doing, why they are doing it. That kind of mystery kept me on the edge of my seat, just wondering what was going to happen next in the story.
As much as I loved the book, there were a few things that I didn't like. One of these things I understand the purpose of, one I thought was unnecessary detail that just didn't play well, and the third was not really a breaking point either way. The first was the characterization of Teresa. As the only girl in the group, for much of her story within the book, she was rather one-dimensional. Most of the time, she seemed relegated to "pretty girl" status, rather than given a whole lot of strength and intelligence of her own. If it was a purposeful choice by the author, rather than just my interpretation, then I understand it, even if I didn't really like it. It underscored the reality that she was the only girl and that the boys around her just weren't sure how to feel about that. The second thing I didn't like was the use of invented slang among the boys, words like "shank" and "klunk" as a part of their language. It felt too contrived and not natural. For me, it took away from otherwise important moments and gave them a silly quality. The last thing had to do with the telling, rather than showing, of the characters' emotions. We never really got into the characters' heads, primarily Thomas, to feel what he was feeling. Instead, we were told how it was feeling. I am the type of reader that enjoys getting into the heads of the characters and being a part of the story and I didn't have that nearly as much with this read.
My Recommendation
However, none of these things were enough to turn me off of the series. I loved the premise, the characters, and the mystery and anticipation of it.

Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is an increasingly common occurrence that can affect anyone regardless of age, sex, or skin tone. Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays cause more than 90% of skin cancers, and the sad fact is that many cases of skin cancer can be prevented by taking proper precautions. Exposing unprotected skin to UV rays, including using tanning beds, multiply your risk for developing a skin cancer.
Early diagnosis is the one the best ways to ensure a cure for skin cancer. We recommend yearly skin checks for all of our patients and even more frequently if you have had a skin cancer before or have a higher risk of developing skin cancer.
Some common factors for increased risk are:
- light colored skin, hair, and eyes
- many moles or freckles
- personal or family history of skin cancer
- history of many sunburns or extended unprotected exposure to the sun for long periods of time, such as working outdoors for many years
- use of tanning beds
- decreased immune system function due to disease or medical treatments
One of the best ways to protect your skin when you are going to be exposed to prolonged sunlight is to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher, and reapply frequently, especially if you are swimming or heavily sweating. We also recommend wearing protective clothing such as hats and UV blocking sunglasses. Staying out of the sun during peak hours is another great way to help prevent skin cancer.
Our goal is to detect and treat skin cancers at their earliest stages and to prevent them by treating precancers before they can develop into cancer.
Common skin precancers are Actinic Keratoses (AKs) and atypical moles.
Actinic Keratoses are caused by UV light exposure and appear as scaly, crusted growths. They are often easier to feel than to see. A common treatment for AKs are cryosurgery, where liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the lesion, which later may blister and crust before falling off. Other common treatments include topical medications, and curettage and electrodesiccation. Sometimes these therapies are used in conjunction with one another.
Atypical moles, also known as dysplastic nevi, are generally benign or noncancerous moles that have an increased risk of developing into melanoma if left untreated. People with a history of atypical moles have a higher risk of developing melanoma than those with no history of atypical moles. There is also a genetic link between the propensity of development of melanoma in people who have close relatives who have had melanoma.
Basal Cell Carcinoma(BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma(SCC), and Malignant Melamona(MM) account for the vast majority of skin cancers.
While melanoma is the most deadly and well known of skin cancers, all skin cancers are serious and can lead to further problems if left untreated.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
BCCs are the most common type of skin cancer with over 2.5 million people in the United States diagnosed every year. These cancers tend to develop in areas with the most exposure to direct sunlight such as the ears, scalp, neck, and face.
Most BCCs are curable if detected and treated in the early stages. If left untreated BCCs can continue to grow larger and get deeper increasing the risk for problems such as nerve damage, disfigurement, and potentially even death.
Most BCCs can be treated in our office with excision, cautery and electrodesiccation, or topical treatments for the most superficial types of cancer. Some BCCs may require Mohs surgery to treat deep tumors and ensure the entire cancer is removed. We work with closely with several local Mohs surgeons to ensure our patients get the best care possible.
Things to watch for to detect a potential BCC:
- Pearly or shiny bump or nodule
- Persistent or non-healing sore that may be crusty or bleeding for more than 3 weeks
- Areas that look scar-like with poorly defined borders that may be white, yellow, or waxy appearing.
- Reddish or pink growth that may be elevated with an indentation in that is crusted in the center
These lesions may not itch or hurt, but that is not always an indicator of disease. Your best bet is to come for yearly skin checks and monitor your skin monthly for changes or new lesions. Hyper-vigilance should be exercised during your self exams. If anything appears to have changed or seems off, have it checked by your physician.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
SCCs are the second most common type of skin cancer. In the United States around 700,000 cases are diagnosed every year. These skin cancers come from abnormal squamous cells in the epidermis.
Chronic UV radiation from the sun, and artificial sources of UV light such as tanning beds, is a strong promoter of SCC. Most of these cancers are curable when identified and treated in the earliest stages. The number of these cancers has risen due to the increased use of tanning beds, especially in young women.
Treatments for these lesions include surgical excision, curettage and electrodesiccation, and Mohs surgery. Early detection and treatment is the best way to ensure a cure for these cancers.
Things to watch for to detect a potential SCC:
- Thick, wart-like growths that crust or occasionally bleeds
- Persistent sores that don't heal and bleed
- Growths that are elevated with a central depression that may increase rapidly in size and bleeds on occasion
- Scaly, red patches with irregular borders that may be crusted or bleed
Yearly skin checks with your dermatologist and monthly skin self-exams are vital to the early detection and treatment of these skin cancers. If you feel you see any new or persistent growths, make an appointment with your provider to have it checked.
Malignant Melanoma
Melanoma is the least common of these skin cancers, but is considered the most deadly. Over 10,000 people in the United States die from melanoma every year. These cancer arise from the skin cells that produce melanin, which are the cells that give our skin color.
There are many factors that lead to increased risk of melanoma occurrence, including having fair hair and skin, history of multiple sunburns, indoor tanning bed use, family history of melanoma, and a personal history of dysplastic moles. Studies also suggest that people with 50 or more benign moles may be at increased risk as well.
When detected early many melanomas are curable using surgical excision, which may include removing the margins around the melanoma to ensure the entire tumor is gone. Depending on the depth and severity of the melanoma, lymph node biopsies may also be done to determine if the melanoma has spread to other parts of the body.
The "ABCDE" signs are an easy way to remember what to watch for when doing self-exams.
- Asymmetry-If you drew a line through the center of the mole the two halves would not match. Most normal moles are round and symmetrical.
- Border-Melanoma borders are often uneven and may appear scalloped at the edges. Normal moles have smooth, even edges.
- Color-Moles that have varying colors in pink, brown, tan, and black shades may be the first signs of melanoma. As they progress they may develop shades of red, white, or blue. Benign moles are generally a single shade of brown.
- Diameter-Many melanomas tend to grow. Moles that appear larger than a pencil eraser should be checked.
- Evolving-Any change in shape, size, color, or other traits can be important. Don't wait for pain or bleeding as potential signs of danger.
Moles displaying any of the above symptoms should be checked by your doctor as soon as possible. The best treatment for melanoma is early detection and treatment. The majority of melanomas we find are curable. Skin self-exams are vital to identifying these potentially deadly cancers in their earliest stage. The patient's job is not to diagnose, but to be suspicious and see your doctor.

Every summer, since my great-great-grandfather died, my father's family has had a family reunion. Dozens of people come from around the country, sometimes from other countries, for a potluck lunch and a chance to see one another. Many of the people you meet there are strangers, a few are people you know, and some are folks that you only see once each summer.
The format is familiar: each family brings food sufficient for themselves, then all the food goes on a long table for potluck. Each family also brings their plates, utensils, napkins, drinks, and whatever else they might need. My grandmother always packed her giant picnic basket, with food sufficient for her family plus a large bear, and all of the necessary tools.
One year, after the reunion, my grandmother unpacked her picnic basket and among her Tupperware, wicker plate holders and the old, scratched stainless flatware, she found a fork that didn't belong. She couldn't stand the thought of someone worrying about that fork, so she immediately called everyone she knew to ask if they were missing one. No one claimed it. At last she admitted that she had no choice but to take it back to the reunion next year to reunite it with it's owner. She didn't want to forget, so she kept that old fork on her dresser, front and center, where she would see it every day.
When the family gathered for Christmas at my grandparents house, someone spotted the fork on the dresser and Grandma was forced to tell the story. Tipsy with eggnog and punch, everyone, including my grandmother, had a good laugh at her expense. The best joke of all was when this very proper, grey-haired little lady swore that she hadn't stolen that sad, old fork. She took quite a bit of teasing about it that day and for the next 6 months, while the fork remained in its place of honor on her dresser.
The next summer, as planned, Grandma packed up her giant picnic basket, carefully placing the stray fork among the Tupperware, and wicker plate holders and such. They got there early, as they usually did, and as each new family arrived Grandma would ask them if they had lost a fork last year. Of course, like Christmas, it became the popular joke of the day. People were laughing, and asking one another if they had lost a fork last year. Finally, late in the day, one of the relatives looked at the fork again and said, "you know, I think this is one of my old forks". She tossed it into her picnic basket, and the year-long quest was over, the mystery solved.
Grandma had packed her giant picnic basket for the trip home, this time without any stray utensils, and was preparing to leave. As she went around the room and said her goodbyes, my father picked up a fork from a nearby table, and quietly slipped it into her basket.
