There's no way that a teenaged Alex Chilton could have known in 1966, with his voice rich in soulful southern gravel as he belted out rock-n-roll gold like "The Letter" and "Cry Like a Baby," that he would one day front a band that wouldn't get half the attention that his Box Tops did, but it would be that very band that would become the proto-postpunk and college rock fore-bearers for a generation to come.
I mean, how could he? He had no idea in 1966 that Big Star would exist. He was 16! And postpunk? Hell, punk rock hadn't even reared its head yet. At least not as a genuine rock movement, anyway.
But there 'tis. In the 1960s Alex Chilton possessed the grittiest voice on the pop charts, the archetypical "blue-eyed soul" sound that was raw and throaty enough to become an instrument as vital to the Box Tops sound as the dreamy keyboards or country-fied guitars. And then he hit his 20s and decided to form a band that seemed to lean way more on Roger McGuinn or Stephen Stills' influence than the Holland-Dozier-Holland sound of his youth.
It was a dramatic turn, that is to say, the transition from The Box Tops to Big Star. Not only that but he had taken to writing his songs (with partner Chris Bell) rather than signing other people's material. The simple tales of young lust turned to the more introspective 1970s ilk of the singer-songwriter. At which he more than excelled. This wasn't the same kid who was belting out "Soul Deep." And for those who noticed, the change must have been alarming.
But that's the thing. Not many folks noticed. At least not right away. Their three albums between 1971 and 1974 all received good reviews, but the sales were minimal. When Bell died in a car accident after Big Star's third album, that was pretty much it. Chilton moved on to his next chapter.
Somewhere in there, though, and in the years to follow his legend began to build. That Memphis cool, that grown-up voice now aching with sincere, pained longing, and those lyrics that placed his heart smack out there for all to see. There was a melodic raggedness to Big Star's sound that was there for a reason, a sound that gave hints to what was soon to come from the CBGB and from Athens and from Minneapolis and from, yes, eventually Seattle.
I mean, it's easy to see why he had such a profound influence on Paul Westerberg (who of course penned one of the Replacements greatest songs in his honor, eponymously). Paul Westerberg even sounds like a less-refined version of Alex Chilton. But you also get why Michael Stipe and Peter Holsapple and Frank Black and Evan Dando and so many other singer-songwriters of Generations X and Y worshiped him too.
Which brings us to today's installment of Favorite Song Friday. Which is somewhat appropo, given what month we're still in.
Favorite Song Friday—Big Star—"September Gurls"
Those opening chords. Those opening chords!
Those scraping, jangly chords that open up the song and carry it to the very end. Those chords sound like someone someone crying in the rain, staring up at a closed window he knows will never open. It's a jarring and unsettling way to open up a love song, but damn if it also isn't just so pretty, too!
September gurls do so much
I was your Butch, and you were touched
I loved you, well nevermind
I've been crying, all the time
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
September gurls I don't know why
How can I deny what's inside
Even though I'll keep away
Maybe we'll love all our days
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
When I get to bed
Late at night
That's the time
She makes things right
When she makes love to me
Late at night
That's the time
She makes things right
When she makes love to me
September gurls do so much
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you, well never mind
I've been crying all the time
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you, well never mind
I've been crying all the time
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
Read these lyrics and one thing you notice—after, I guess, the spelling of "gurls," which, well, I just don't know, but it probably has something to do with that eternal obsession of youthful love Chilton always seemed to have—is its never exactly clear who "September Gurls" are or why "December boys got it bad." (Aside from maybe the plain fact that Chilton was, well, born in December. Occam's Razor and all that.) But really, we don't know. Not at all. Nor is it clear who or what "Butch" is or means. It's a loveletter, the contents of which are possibly only understood by one person, and maybe not even her.
What we get is a fairly sparse and heartfelt plea. These words mean something to someone, though, and maybe that's the point. But they are nonetheless breathtaking. And honestly, as someone who very often loves great songwriting and great lyrics above all else, and has assembled myriad lists in his head of his favorite lyrics over the years, this little toss-off:
I loved you, well never mind
…is and remains one of my favorite lyrics of all-time. It's beautiful and it's silly. It's petulant and immature and desperate and defeatist and it's bluntly honest and plainly confused and it's all of six words long and I just used 10 words to try and describe it!
Every little inch of this song is lovable and memorable. The sweet and sunny harmonies that hang over it. The lustrous background vocals and cries that take the song up into the ether. Chilton's shows some damn impressive range, starting high and staying high and going ever higher when he hits the "When I get to bed" bridge. And that weeping, descending guitar line, which you just know Peter Buck must've listened to a thousand or two times, seems to offer a pleasant nod to everything that led Chilton to this point – Motown and Stax and Liverpool and his beloved Memphis. It's all in there, neatly tucked into 2:44 of rock-n-roll splendor.
"September Gurls" is neither a kiss-off or a sappy plea. Or it's both. It is what you want it to be, as so much of the best music so often is. When Chilton died in 2010, his postpunk godson Westerberg wrote an op-ed about him for The New York Times. He summed up his career thusly:
Success shone early on Alex Chilton, as the 16-year-old soulful singer of the hit-making Box Tops. Possessing more talent than necessary, he tired as a very young man of playing the game — touring, performing at state fairs, etc. So he returned home to Memphis. Focusing on his pop writing and his rock guitar skills, he formed the group Big Star with Chris Bell. Now he had creative control, and his versatility shone bright. Beautiful melodies, heart-wrenching lyrics.
That's the story of Alex Chilton, leader of Big Star and, as Westerberg would later describe him, "folk troubadour, blues shouter, master singer, songwriter and guitarist." And what he left behind, with "September Gurls" and plenty more, keeps him going, makes him relevant to those of us who weren't even alive when "The Letter" was released.
September comes to an end in four days. "September Gurls" exists forever.

While many people assume that digital circuits are a relatively new concept, the reality is that the practice and science of digital circuit design has actually been used in various aspects of design since the early part of the 1930s.
The history of the use of digital circuits, and just how far digital circuit design has come in the last century is actually fascinating, and a great example of how a relatively simple concept has created an element used in virtually all applications and industries today.
The Early Stages
The first prediction of the development of digital circuit design was in the early part of the 1700s by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who first developed the working binary number system. This was then enhanced by George Boole in the middle of the 19th century, and then later in 1886, the actual use of a digital circuit was hypothesized or predicted by Charles Sanders Peirce.
A letter Peirce penned talked about how mathematics and logic operations could be used to control electrical circuits, what would now be called switching circuits, to control a machine without the need for manual operations.
Actual Implementation
The first need for digital circuit design was in the late part of the 1930s to the early part of the 1941s. At this time, an electromagnetic computer was designed by a German civil engineer, Konrad Zuse. Known as the Z3, this computer was funded in part by the German government, but interestingly enough it was also seen as unimportant at the time.
At about the same time in the United States George Stibitz and Howard Aiken from Bell Laboratories and Harvard respectively, began working on what were large calculator type devices that used mechanical switches and relays. This set the stage for the later development of circuits that could be operated based on both inputs as well as stored data.
In 1947, the transistor replaced the vacuum tubes and telephone relays used in the computers that were built off of the Z3 design. Later on in 1958, Jack St. Clair Kilby invented the integrated circuit, which was the central component of making huge changes in the ability to utilize these control devices in smaller and smaller design options.
What is now considered the hallmark of modern digital circuit design, the actual "computer on a chip" was completed in 1970 by Ted Hoff in his work for Intel. What was once thought of a major accomplishment is now a very basic design option, but it set the groundwork for the possibilities of today and the future.Add to favorites

Yesterday went well. She received large doses of fluid to help the Cytoxin go through her and several other drugs that go before and after it. She spiked a fever this morning which causes quite a clatter. They will be running a few scans to look at sinuses and lungs. They are being careful with all symptoms...could be just the Cytoxin messing with the things it's suppose to mess with. More nausea today also. Really still doing great. Her counts are expected to zero-out within two days.
We were energized today to meet a DOCK8 family from Alabama. The older son is 9 months out from his fully matched transplant and doing so awesome. His younger sister is Karly's age and living life very well right now. She will do a fully matched transplant sometime in her future. The unique thing here is that their older sister was the full match for both of them. That is amazing.
Tyler is walking better...meaning he has less of the swag of a Lego man. I accidentally swiped an area on his back, and he let me know about it. He has bruising that is evident now.
Kassidy and Konner are participating in the Teen Retreat at the Children' Inn. They had fun with the activities and have met new people they can call their friends.
Karly felt well enough about 5:00pm yesterday to shave heads. We got three done before she needed to rest. Zach's head was supposed to be the after dinner entertainment, but she never perked up enough to get er done...maybe today.
Karly's heart and kidney function have been holding up well. We are excited that she has been doing this well. Praise Jesus from whom all blessings flow. Thank you family of believers for staying strong.

At approximately 6:00 a.m. on November 13, 1997, a fire occurred in an occupied, four-story apartment complex in Bremerton, Washington, which caused the deaths of four residents (all aged between 75 and 91 years) and injured 12 others. Even though this was not a designated "elderly housing" facility, this fire is indicative of the high risk bracket that this age group occupies. The cause of the fire was determined to be either an electrical baseboard heater or an electrical outlet in one of the apartments. The apartment was normally occupied, but the occupant was not in the apartment at the time of the fire. The apartment complex manager was delivering newspapers to various units when he heard the smoke detector. He entered the unit and reported that smoke had filled the unit to within a foot of the floor; he then exited the apartment, leaving the door open.
Factors contributing to the loss of life and property in this incident include:
- Lack of automatic fire sprinklers
- The door to the apartment of fire origin being left open after the fire was discovered
- Inadequately protected means of egress
- Lack of a complex wide fire alarm system incorporating automatic detection
NFPA members can download the entire investigation report, and a summary is available to all site visitors in English or Spanish.

"Under the colorful canopy of our towering trees, visitors can shop unique art not available anywhere else and take in free demonstrations that highlight the amazing work that goes into each meticulously hand-crafted piece."
Twenty artists from across the U.S. will showcase their art and participate in the 2016 Glass Pumpkin Patch, including 10 from the Chicago area and throughout Illinois. Leading the event is glassblower Shannon Jane Morgan of Girl Glass Studio in Sacramento, California. Primarily self-taught, Morgan has earned a name for herself with brightly colored ornamental autumn designs as well as pieces such as goblets, bowls, and vases.

Last week, on the eve of Mexican Independence Day, Governor Pat Quinn announced that Illinois exports to Mexico in the first half of 2012 topped $3 billion – a 13.7 percent increase over the previous year and a new record high. The state's robust trading relationship with Mexico has been enhanced by the Illinois Office of Trade and Investment in Mexico City, as well as a century-long tradition of friendship and trade between Illinois and Mexico. Illinois exports overall are at the highest level in a decade and today's announcement is the latest step towards Governor Quinn's goal of doubling Illinois exports by 2015.
Mexico has played a key role in Illinois' rise in exports, with 20 percent growth in 2010 and 34 percent growth in 2011. In his push to increase trade, the Governor established a high-level Export Advisory Council comprised of the State's top CEOs and private sector leaders to craft strategies for boosting exports, while serving as global ambassadors for the State.
The Illinois Office of Trade and Investment – located on Mexico City's bustling Paseo de La Reforma – has been providing small and medium-sized Illinois businesses with expertise in all phases of export development as well as partner contacts in Mexico. The Office provides critical support to any Illinois business wanting to enter the Mexican market. In 2011, Mexico accounted for nearly 9 percent of Illinois' total export portfolio with $5.7 billion in exports, and – in the post-NAFTA era – ranks second only to Canada as a trading partner. Exported goods to Mexico include machinery, agriculture products, electronics and chemicals. More information about Illinois trade and business opportunities can be found on the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's website at www.illinoisbiz.biz.

Rich Young Mistress: Young Master Xie's Dearest Beloved Wife Chapter 1360
Chapter 1360 Just Seducing
Bai Yaoyao didnt know why, but after hearing those three words, she calmed down very quickly. They were just words, but they made her feel very safe.
She asked herself as well. Would he really protect her and prevent her from getting hurt?
Because she had been gravely hurt in the past, she didnt dare to fully trust him, despite the sense of security that he had shown her.
However, she told herself to trust Duan Yanhao just this once. He was a soldier after all, and he meant what he said.
She ought to trust him.
Seeing Bai Yaoyao nod her head, Duan Yanhao finally sighed in relief. He knew that Bai Yaoyao was fragile and had been hurt deeply in the past. If he didnt handle this matter well and hurt her again, her heart would probably be irreversibly broken. She might not open up to anyone else ever again.
Therefore, Duan Yanhao didnt dare to take any risks, nor take things for granted.
After Chi Jiajia entered the villa, she swiftly arrived at the bedroom. As she swung the door open, she saw Elder Brother Yanhao grabbing that vixens hand.
"Elder Brother Yanhao, you You" Chi Jiajia pointed at Duan Yanhao.
Duan Yanhao stepped in between the two ladies, stopping Chi Jiajia from seeing Bai Yaoyao. Pushing her hand down, he warned sternly, "Chi Jiajia, this is my house. Who allowed you to enter?"
Chi Jiajia choked on her words. Stomping her feet, she said, "Elder Brother Yanhao, you were the one who brought an unknown woman back. You brought a vixen home. Ahh Elder Brother Yanhao, it hurts"
Looking at him clutching her fingers so forcefully, Chi Jiajia thought that they were going to snap soon. She refused to believe that Elder Brother Yanhao would be so cold towards her.
"Elder Brother Yanhao, it hurts"
Duan Yanhao didnt budge. He shouted fiercely, "Apologize to her!"
"Elder Brother Yanhao, you I"
"Chi Jiajia, apologize. Apologize to her!"
Looking at how cold and merciless Duan Yanhao was, Chi Jiajia bit her lower lip. Feeling wronged, she began to cry. "Elder Brother Yanhao, you didnt treat me like this before. I didnt say much, but youre defending that unknown woman. You have to protect your younger sister!"
He was only cold to her that day because she had mentioned the words brother-in-law. It had triggered him and hurt him the most. Therefore, she didnt dare to call him that way again this time around. Instead, she indirectly hinted that he ought to take good care of her.
Duan Yanhao answered coldly, "Chi Jiajia, Im not obliged to take care of you. Besides, youre an adult now. Youre not a child anymore."
Behind Duan Yanhao, Bai Yaoyao peeked her head out and glanced at Chi Jiajia. A faint curve appeared on the corners of her lips. Chi Jiajia was indeed great at putting on an act.
Fortunately, Duan Yanhao wasnt poor at judging people like that.
Chi Jiajia wailed loudly, hoping that someone would console her. However, Duan Yanhao didnt do so at all. Raising her head, she immediately noticed the mocking looking on Bai Yaoyaos face.
At that instant, Chi Jiajias blood immediately boiled. "You!"
Bai Yaoyao pushed Duan Yanhao away. Since he had protected her, she couldnt just hide behind him and not do anything.
Bai Yaoyao glared at Chi Jiajia and scoffed condescendingly. "What did I do?"
"You seduced Elder Brother Yanhao. Youre so shameless!"
Bai Yaoyao wrapped her arms around Duan Yanhao and pretended to look sweet in front of Chi Jiajia. "So what if I am trying to seduce him? You tried to do so, but you failed!"
She completely couldnt be bothered to deal with a woman like her. However, since Duan Yanhao had protected her, she couldnt allow her to take advantage of them.
Hearing Bai Yaoyaos words, Chi Jiajia was fuming with rage.

Designer Blog: Vampire: the Masquerade - Heritage
Vampire: the Masquerade – Heritage was always meant to be a game about stories.
Detailed stories that would intertwine nicely, forming a web of intrigue that would connect its protagonists –the vampires with each other.
I was already playing the "Vampire: the Masquerade" RPG for almost a decade, as a player but mostly as a storyteller. And a couple of years later, I would delve into the most exciting aspect of gaming, the live action role playing (LARP).
It was a given, that the game based on this magnificent IP had to be story-driven, immersive, engaging, respectful of its title and its fans.
The basic idea was simple and quite direct.
The game's main players should be the vampires.
According to the theme, those undead beings exist with the humans side by side, feeding off of them and steering their history towards where they please… and always to their advantage.
This would mean that the players should portray influential vampires with the goal of siring more progeny, thus extending their 'terrible' bloodline. But anyone familiar enough with the setting would know that "siring a progeny" can be a long-term procedure, because they would have to choose their childer carefully. So it had to be a choice!
And so, the 80-card Mortal deck came into life. Consisting of 80 unique types of people that would populate the world in the medieval times. Each with their own "behavior" and "way of reacting to things". For it was expected of a Marquis to oppose a peasant revolt whereas an Innkeeper might stick with the rebelling folk and where a Mercenary might even see opportunities on both sides.
I had to keep this in mind, and make sure that a story was told properly.
And so the idea of colors came to life. A color that would mean something, describing the viewpoints, the way of thinking, the status, their philosophy, their tendencies and even their ambitions and destinies. And so, each character got a different combination of color patterns and class types.
Class types – there would be four of them, the militarist, the financial, the shady and the wise. All of them as generic, yet as descriptive as the colors. A priest could be of a shady, if into politics, of a wise if into spiritual growth or of a financial class type if guilty of simony. There would be no defined lines for each person could be different into their own unique way.
The deck was ready! Next were the Battlegrounds! Different stages where all these people and vampires' stories would mix, where their interests would clash and where their worlds would collide. These needed to be the excuses of them fighting yet they didn't need to be defined. "Of Clans High and Low" – the battle of the vampire castes across the medieval centuries, "The Beast Within" – the inner conflict happening into the vampire's rotten heart as its humanity struggles to remain alive, and finally "The War of the Princes" – the stories of how the vampires managed to manipulate the rulers and the kings into countless of wars and crusades. These would be the first three and the next would follow suit "The Masquerade", "the Inquisition", "the Anarch Revolts" and much…much more.
The game's premise would be simple for each player.
Choose and sire a progeny and have it influence the world, based on its colors, type and abilities. This illusory freedom of choice, where a player would embrace the Viking Jarl seeking to promote the kings of the north, at the cost of succumbing to their Bestial nature, or the Shieldmaiden who's more virtuous and still a supporter of the north, but yet more sympathetic to the common folk and the Low Clans.
Players need to have a difficult time picking one over the other as their plans would clash all into the form of one single choice. And as time would progress things would become even harder…
But then again, in the world of Vampire: the Masquerade, in the World of Darkness, fear, hardship and despair are common and quite painful…
Next time: Let's talk about change – what makes this game a "Legacy" board game
The rules of magic
Balancing things in life have never been easy.
Doing household chores, working and taking care of oneself every day is not an easy thing.
Just imagine when you add wizards, magic and mythical kingdoms into the mix…
It can get far more serious…
"Archons of Magic" narrates the story of potent spellcasting individuals that harness the world's arcane energies to do their bidding. These individuals called "Mages" have sought a way to reach their own ends and have thus pledged themselves to the service of the world's mythical realms.
At the last post we saw what this is all about.
Players choose a Mage and take their appropriate spell cards. After that they choose a Realm and take its appropriate cards mixing them together with the Mage's ones, resulting in a single 14 card deck.
But how is the game played? What do these decks do? And how can one enjoy "Archons of Magic"?
Being true to its deck-building nature, "Archons of Magic" relies not only on crafty deck composition but on strategic play of the cards as well. As cards don't have any cost at all, timing and planning plays an important role in the game.
Beginning with a player, a challenge is made versus their opponent.
Challenges can be different, from diplomatic to more combat oriented ones.
The player targeted by the challenge is given the opportunity to react and either fend off their opponent's attack or not.
If not, then various things happen regarding the nature of the challenge.
Will you manage to:
Sabotage your opponent's armies?
Kidnap their precious allies?
Convince a lord to declare war on another?
Cast a curse on your opponent?
or even
Summon Nature's spirits to your aid?
Each victory is crucial as each plot that a player passes through gives them more leverage and power against their opponent.
Thus, players play challenges, protecting themselves against those of their opponents in a relaxing and easy way as turns pass one after the other until a player has no cards in hand.
At that point, the Mages amass their own armies consisting of arcane servitors and city pawns in one final combat!
After the smoke has set and the armies have withdrawn, the Mages meet up…
And the most powerful is the victor!
The winner takes the spoils and all players carry on by telling the story in a grand campaign mode. A thing I'll be covering later on in the blog.
A single match of "Archons of Magic" takes about 15-25 minutes and engages players to play more matches with a different deck composition.
The game's rulebook will soon be online and you can easily check all the mechanical details that were ommited in the post.
We'll soon be heading to the game's beta, so as I said before, send me a message if you're interested and I'll be more than happy to have you in our team!
See you next week!
What "Archons of Magic" is all about?
There have been some years since I first created "Archons of Magic".
It was a project based on my love for deck-building card games combined with high fantasy intrigue! Back then everything was sorted out, the cards, the mechanisms, the story... I got the game, Panos and Haris got the drinks. And the matches were fantastic! The game was intense, the feeling was great! And all I knew is that I had a game actually in my hands. Back then game designing professionally was still a dream...
Seven years later, I figured I needed to check on "Archons of Magic" once more! Last year I showed you "Beyond the Mist" and now I wish to show you this new game! Now I need to know what you think about it!
"Archons of Magic" (AoM for short) is a deck building card game for 2-5 players.
Set in the world of Allangtoh, a fantasy world filled with insidious intrigue, warring kingdoms and a handful of important spellcasting individuals that can shape the entire world in an instant. Each player portrays such a Mage, telling the story of their own quest to greatness.
Each player chooses a Magic type, a Mage and a Kingdom.
The Magic type signifies a way that each player would play. One could pick the nurturing yet potent Nature magic, or the insidious and destructive Dark magic or among the other three...
After that, each player chooses a Mage linked to the Magic type the chose before. Would a Nature Magic player choose the Druid, the Nymph or the Ranger? What about the Dark Mages? What about the rest?
And last but not least, they must choose a Kingdom. By their own manipulative ways, each Mage holds sway over the rulership of a Kingdom. This is where the factions and the game story kicks in as the game offers a vast variety of kingdoms, from shady hamlet provinces to militaristic iron-ruled holdfasts!
Each Magic and Kingdom offers different card sets from which players are asked to create their own unique decks and begin their conflict battling it out by intrigue, diplomacy and direct confrontation...!
After many matches the player will be asked to reach a decision and shape the story of their own game. Kingdoms will fall, other will get empowered and other might fall under a Mage's tempting control!
But before we go that far, we need to say more about how the game plays. Let's talk more about the game rules! On the next post, in 2 days time, I'll describe to you the mechanism of the game itself!
Attuning with the Arcane - a new game?
Many months have passed and I haven't posted any new updates.
What can I say? It has been a frantic couple of months to be honest!
First of all Galactic Warlords hit Kickstarter! The response was great, but the feedback was even greater! You asked for more and you even proposed new things to be introduced! You wanted more gaming modes, more stuff and more variety! And Archona Games and I were happy to oblige! I really liked what they decided and I really like where they're heading with my game! They have drive and vision and I couldn't be more happy! So we've taken a step back and on September we're ready to hit Kickstarter again with a brand improved game!
As far as designing is concerned I've been working on numerous titles of mine. So far the "Granny", the "Poltergeist" and "Families and Bloodlines" have attracted a good deal of attention and hopefully will be hitting the shelves in the near future.
However, work hasn't stopped...!
For the past couple of months I've been working on a past project named "Archons of Magic", a personal favorite of mine! A fast-paced, replayable yet quite an addictive game that comes along with a great deal of adventuring and magnitude! Right now, I'm putting on the final touches and the game will be ready to hit its open-beta stage next week.
You can participate in it and help me improve the game! You only have to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or send me a pm at my social network profiles! So, if you're up for it, feel free to give a shout out! Send me a message!
In a couple of days, I'll be offering much more information on that mysterious title. Could you bear the heavy burden of knowledge, especially when it concerns intriguing global matters of the arcane...?
The muse and the caring father
There are these moments that we have all experienced, and mostly those who are designing board games.
The moment that your muse has shown you the right path to the creation of a new board game and reassures you that it will be an incredible one! Your most precious pearl! You create it, you test it, try to make it perfect and you love it as you develop a caring relationship that flows through the very existence of your creativity.
And then comes the time that you have to show it to the publishers.. Those grand beasts who will judge it, measure it and question it according to their own standards. And you will be there, by its side, like a caring father to support it, to show its strengths and its particularities that make it something authentically different, while the "beast" on the other hand will judge it as insufficient and incomplete. But you have faith in your child and when it justifies your care.. Then comes the moment where you start discussing about its publishing.
The "beast" then becomes the guardian of your game, while keeping its first ability. "Changes need to be made" it growls, and as a conservative patriarch it tries to make your child wear clothes that it thinks fit.
Then your boardgame changes structure, theme, shape, become it knows better. And maybe it is true, since it has been around for a while and it knows its job. But you stand proudly by your child, even if it wears weird make up, not too fancy clothes and has its hair all mixed up - you still have to smile and support it again, while at the same time you also understand the "beast's" vision to make your child memorable and unique.
And you smile as you see it "parade" in front of the eyes of the people, who then cheer or disapprove it. And you look by your side and you see your muse looking at you enigmatically. Maybe you both live in another sphere, in another world..

Alcoholism is a danger to society. It is a heavy cost personally and to society as a whole. The annual cost in the United States because of alcohol abuse is hundreds of billions of dollars overall. That is an insane amount of money.
For someone who abuses alcohol, this can lead to a lot of problems. Problems such as health issues like liver problems or cancer. There can be mental or behavioral issues where there weren't before.
There are injuries one can cause. Some families can be ruined. Alcohol abuse can lead to issues with finances or jobs or even the law. All of this can take a toll on your life and your wallet.
It even leads to a higher cost of healthcare.
Prevention is important because alcohol abuse can be long term. It can affect everyone around them in a negative way.
Here are some ways to help prevent alcohol abuse.
What Are High-Risk Drinking Problems?
Recognizing patterns of high-risk drinking is essential. This is because it can be nipped in the bud before it gets too severe if people realize.
There are alcohol guidelines now written by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse And Alcoholism. (NIAAA)
These guidelines stay one shouldn't drink more than 14 standard drinks a week for men. This also says no more than four drinks a day for men and no more than 3 per day for women. By week women should have no more than 7 drinks.
If someone drinks past these guidelines, they are at risk for alcohol addiction.
It is hoped that these guidelines can help people realize if they are heading toward a problem.
Youth Prevention Programs
Alcohol is the primary choice for young people in the United States. It is their drug of choice. To try and lessen underage drinking means there need to be changed to their community.
There needs to be prevention so that people don't start their bad habits early on. This means there should be more enforcement of drinking age laws. Advertisements have also been shown to help.
Increasing Taxes
Increasing taxes on alcohol has actually reduced drinking because it made alcohol more expensive.
It works for heavy drinkers and the regular populations. It is especially effective for young adults. This is because it makes alcohol more expensive. People are less likely to want to pay more for it.

If any of those pointed out previously mentioned are genuine, you must Get hold of a employees' payment attorney at the earliest opportunity.

The Republican Party and their Tea Party confederates have seized upon a perfect wedge issue for the upcoming midterm elections: the proposed Islamic Center a couple of blocks away from the former World Trade Center site.
More precisely, though, the issue is Islam and the place of Muslim Americans in our society. Unwittingly, the president provided kindling to the fire and rather than address the issue head-on, he has chosen to "qualify" his stance.
On Friday, President Obama addressed a group of Muslim American leaders to mark the holy month of Ramadan. He was quoted as saying, "I believe that Muslims have the right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country … [and this] includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances."
The stance is clear enough. Twenty four hours later, however, after conservatives eagerly pounced on the red meat tossed their way, the president "quickly recalibrated his remarks" as the New York Times put it.
During his family's visit to the Gulf of Mexico, Obama clarified that he was not in any way endorsing a mosque so close to Ground Zero, but simply pointing out that everybody should be treated equally regardless of religion.
"I was not commenting, and I will not comment, on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there," he said. "I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That's what our country is about."
Politicians "spin" issues all the time and the president is no exception. Our elected officials tell us what they think most of us would like to hear — or at least what those they fear most would like to hear. In this situation, the White House and the Democrats are worried about the growing anger and dissatisfaction of the general public and the seats they will lose in November. Interestingly, they seem unconcerned about their base's disenchantment.
At some point, though, political doublespeak becomes untenable and our leaders need to take a firm stance — a principled stand.
Earlier last week, the administration was in a similar quandary. When White House spokesman Ben Labolt was asked about the administration's reaction to Judge Vaughn Walker's Proposition 8 ruling, he said that the president has always been against the same-sex marriage ban "because it is divisive and discriminatory" and that Obama "will continue to promote equality for LGBT Americans."
An anonymous White House aide then reminded everyone that the president has publicly opposed same-sex marriage and he has not changed his position: "He supports civil unions, doesn't personally support gay marriage though he supports repealing the Defense of Marriage Act, and has opposed divisive and discriminatory initiatives like Prop 8 in other states."
So which is it, Mr. President? Do you believe in equality for LGBT Americans or not? If you do — which you articulated 14 years ago while running for a seat in the Illinois State Senate — then why not come out in full support of same-sex marriage?
If you believe in the right of all Americans to practice their chosen religion, then why disavow your support for a community center which is not in Ground Zero in the first place?
Candidate Obama inspired many of us with his message of hope, which promised equality for all. President Obama repeats the same words, but now they ring hollow. He needs to stand tall again and firmly by his ideals.
You can follow Erwin on Twitter at @ErwindeLeon.
Good op-ed Erwin. Ultimately, what we have with BO is a politician — just as crafty as President "I feel your pain" Clinton. In the end, what is the difference between republicans and democrats — really?
It's badge engineering; that's all. As for this: "He needs to stand tall again and firmly by his ideals," first he'd have to have any.

II Chronicles 18:33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
Ahab had apparently gotten away with his sin for many years. Naboth had lost his vineyard. Ahab was still living and enjoying his sin.
He goes into battle thinking that he has disguised himself and will be ok. The battle seems to have left him unscathed. Now at the last a man shoots an arrow with not real purpose or intent.
God sees to it that the arrow find its way to Ahab, and exactly the point to enter into his armor.
God had promised that Ahab would pay and now he was paying. God's justice moves slow sometimes but it moves sure. God will do what He says He will do

Apollo 13 Owners' Workshop Manual
Reading time: about 2 minutes.
The Apollo 13 Owners' Workshop Manual is one of the most detailed and reader-friendly books about the Apollo 13 mission currently in print. It's the work of David Baker – a veteran of the Apollo Space Program and a man who was actually in the room working with the other engineers on the consumables calculations that saved the lives of Jim Lovell, John "Jack" Swigert and Fred Haise.
The book contains 204 pages of exceedingly detailed cutaway drawings, explanations and a very detailed timeline of the Apollo 13 mission. In the hands of NASA geeks like us it quickly became the most popular book in the office, almost reminiscent of the glass bottle in The Gods Must Be Crazy.
Official Blurb
The world-famous Apollo 13 mission and dramatic explosion on the service module, captured in technical detail like you've never seen before.
On April 13, 1970, NASA's Apollo 13 suffered a near-catastrophic explosion in space. The planned lunar landing that day was promptly called off, and a new challenge prioritized: get the spacecraft safely back to Earth.
Written by David Baker, an original member of NASA's Apollo 13 Houston Mission Control team, Apollo 13 Owners' Workshop Manual offers unprecedented, meticulous coverage of the Apollo 13 mission. Beginning with an overview of the era's equipment and technology, Baker focuses primarily on the planning, goals, and execution of the mission itself, including an hour-by-hour timeline of the crew's near-disaster in space. Additionally, his thorough analysis of the post-flight investigation and lurking design problems with the spacecraft offer the rare viewpoint of a true Apollo 13 insider. Not only does Baker present and analyze the mission itself, but he also celebrates NASA's legacy in the wake of the event with the redesign of sections of the Apollo spacecraft and the changes to the way later missions were organized, beginning with Apollo 14.
In typical fully illustrated Haynes Manual detail, Apollo 13 Owners' Workshop Manual presents the fascinating circumstances behind a team who recovered their spacecraft just hours before hurtling back into the earth's atmosphere. But more than that, the book is a brand-new insight into the remarkable story of how clever, improvised engineering, remarkable teamwork, and sheer will to succeed averted a major catastrophe in space.

Have you ever seen a Golu? I saw it for the first time when I was 21 years old, just after my marriage. You have to understand the situation here. To me dolls and doll houses were objects from my childhood. Of course I remember Gharonda during Diwali but it was when I was a tiny tot. Advent of science, in the form of television and video games, has long ago taken the small-small pleasures out of my life.
So when my MIL started to take out dolls from a huge box during the Navratri days, on the first year of our marriage, I had started giggling. After many blank stares from her and some irritated looks from my DH, I settled down meekly to help her out. She had already asked our house help to keep three tables of the same width but different height against the wall. After the ladder formation was formed, she put a silken cloth over it, covering every inch of the structure.
The thing that attracted me about the whole scene was the reverence on her face. If I was not so jaded in life with all the religions being hammered in my head and yet remaining a non- believer I would have definitely thought she was seeing some avatar of HIM while she decorated the steps.
Slowly and surely the Golu started taking shape. Dolls in every form started adorning the steps. Dancing dolls, smiling dolls, sulky dolls and traditionally handcrafted dolls; all stood in an order of a military rank. I was damn fascinated by the whole process. I suppose the little kid inside me came out and against my will I started enjoying it. I even brushed a hair or two off some of those dolls. It was a weird feeling. Like catching up with something I had lost earlier. Lost innocence?
In silence we both worked together. Unknowingly, in tandem with each other's movement. At last everything was set. The fairy lights twinkled along with the hand painted diyas. The dolls looked illuminated in that light as if taking a life of their own. Without thinking, I hugged my mother-in-law. A think I had never done such a thing before. She hugged me back. Then we both looked at each other, a red hue creeping up her face - which I am sure was in reflection to mine.
"Make tea - or are you planning to play with dolls the whole day? " she asked me roughly, slightly pushing me away.
Thank god she was normal .. or I had almost liked her at that moment.
FYI : Those who don't know what a Golu is .. here is a link to see what it is all about and why it is done.
Yours Truly,
Golu- A tradition Or A Bond?
Birth Of A Mother
Mothr-in-Law Incarnated
I could never understand the love my mom had for serials. Are they not supposed to be a waste of time? Should she not at go out of the house and meet people or start thinking of working. My mom would always give me a tolerant smile and tell me softly, "This is my survival pill, why do you want me to stop watching them? They are my window to other's life, something I won't dare to do in my own life." I tched and would always make fun of the stupid serials where one day a man would be married to a woman – only to be divorced the next day.
Then I got married and lo behold my mother in law was in the same boat. Zealous. Passionate and if you dare to speak to her during the serial – her killer looks won't spare you. She would be the angry doppleganger of her former self, vomiting venom on any poor unsuspecting soul daring to take her eyes off the idiot box.
I sweared I would never do that ever again in my life. At that point of time I was working in Aptech, in New Delhi. Newly married and hated my MIL with a zealous fantasy. The feeling was mutual. I remember the lunch hours I spent in the office regaling my colleagues on the antics of mother in law while watching the serials. Her angry face, her sad face, her fighting for the oppressed bahu face (that my dear, was the most funny one.)
Then my DH got a transfer to USA. I was so damn excited. Away from the MIL who didn't give me a moment of peace. She wanted to watch her stupid soaps and for that she made me do all the work. So here I was packing happily, while my MIL was shedding a few tears on the departure of the old Saas to her heavenly aboad.
USA was like a dream come true. Everything was larger than life. Newly married and now issues- was a honeymoon period. But like every fairy tale has a snag, so did mine. I couldn't work in the USA on my dependent visa. Initially it was fun – doing nothing. Munching Haldiram the whole day, baking chicken nuggets and hogging them and the chocolate mouse ..yummm.. !
Then came the infilteration of silence. I never knew the silence that I had craved for so much could be so deafening. Every single sound from outside had risen in decibel. The honk of a car, the rain pelting on my pane and the crickets were unanimous in their own symphony. Till one day I couldn't take it more and picked up the remote.
Initially I stuck to a movie or two with a heavy dose of news channel. Who was murdered where, the gory rapes and the political idiosyncracies were more depressing then anything I have ever seen. Oh, I did try to see a few adult porn also and they made me puke. No that was not for me. So the next step was picking up the phone and calling up the Dish channel. Soon the idiot box had a company on the table and I was the proud owner of all the indian channel. I felt closer to home.
One serial caught my attention – the cute love story between Arnav and Khushi.I watched mesmerized as their love story unfolded from hate to love. The passion palpable. Then my DH dared to come and ask me for food while Arnav was about to declare his love. I was my MIL incarnated !

Once you make the decision to expedite operations using business automation software, you'll find that many mundane tasks run more smoothly. But it's common to face hiccups along the way as you familiarize yourself with this program. After all, no automation software package comes with a guaranteed solution for capturing visitor data and funneling it to sales. It's up to you to find what works for your audience.
Let's take a look at a few ways that you can optimize your automation software.
Identify Your Process
Whether you're new to automation software or you need a fresh perspective, you'll benefit from this first tip: process comes before technology. Too often, marketers jump at the opportunity to use automation software but fail to have their processes in place. What usually happens is that the program isn't effective because there are no goals to meet, and marketers are left frustrated.
Define your target customer and identify their pain points. Determine how you will segment customers, how you plan to capture their data and how you intend to use this data to boost sales.
Capture Data
Another problem that marketers face when using marketing automation software is that they don't capture the right data at the right time. Don't make this mistake, otherwise you may miss important opportunities. Start by asking the right questions on intake forms, and have your sales team use this data to learn more about your audience. You can then fine tune your strategy as you see fit, but at least you'll have the data in place.
Define Your Goals
How is marketing automation going to help you if you don't define your goals?
Many marketers integrate this software because it will make their life easier, but they're not sure how. Then they end up disappointed. Define your short- and long-term goals and how you want marketing automation to help you reach them. Do you want to help customers along the buying funnel? Boost traffic to your website? Increase sales and ROI?
As you work on meeting these goals, document the process. What works? What doesn't work? Whether it's capturing leads, nurturing relationships with customers or boosting sales, you can use marketing automation to fill in the gaps and strengthen your campaigns.
Marketing automation software is a beneficial way to streamline tasks and help you meet your goals while improving leads, customer relations and ROI. But there's no one strategy to help you succeed. You must practice, experiment with new things and measure your success. Over time, you'll know what works and how to maximize the system to grow your business.

In the mid 1990s, we shifted our focus to technical textiles. This highly specialised niche sector embraces an extremely broad range of applications, thanks to the particular properties of technical knits.

Location Wakefield (northeast Bronx)
Rent $716.54 (rent-stabilized)
Square feet 700
Occupant Jonathan Bodrick (videographer, DMBJ Productions)
You were right! Did I tell you! Get off at Woodlawn—one side, the white yuppies go one way, the brothers go the opposite. It's like—yeah!
This Bronx historian said, "Nothing of momentous importance has ever happened" in Wakefield. Really! The first New York baby for 2003 was born here at Our Lady of Mercy.
You said you prefer Metro-North over the subway because you get to go to Grand Central. Train stations are so much about possibility—thousands of people you've never met, the mystery factor, the agent X. Every day, on your way home, something magical could happen under the pale blue-green ceiling with the silvery constellations, tiny starry lights. Or maybe at the Oyster Bar, while you're having an icy Wellfleet, a person could sit down next to you and change your life. I just stopped there today, but nothing happened. So you got this apartment four years ago. I went to the Bronx because they said, the further up you go, the more affordable it is. But all my friends are moving to Harlem. It's like, Oh, I want to go to Harlem. My brother's got a condominium there. He just got a production studio in Sobro, South Bronx, around 134th and Third. So I'll be working there. I work for him. It's real industrial, lots of warehouses, right underneath the bridges. Industry artsy people love that mystique, little cobblestones. I would think about moving there—you can walk over the bridge to Harlem but not have to pay those Harlem rents. I found this apartment through Silverman Realty, all these really nice Jewish women in Parkchester. They showed me the Grand Concourse area, but they said at night it isn't so nice. One of the women really liked me and wanted me to meet her landlord, a Greek gentleman. The thing is, I heard about friends who go through bad things with their landlords . . .
The story of Dracula, well, Bram Stoker's, is all about real estate and landlords. The count wants to buy a house in the city, near some lovely throat, and that's why he sends for solicitor Jonathan Harker, but then of course the story leaps to ultimate property ownership—the human soul! So my landlord is so cool! Every morning he's here making sure things are running smoothly. I don't cook. Once my refrigerator wasn't working. I eventually called only because the water was dripping. He said, "How come you didn't call me before?" The woman downstairs lived in the building 30 years. One day my bathwater's running over, we're talking flood. I go down. In this neighborhood they have the Italian women who still have the beehive hairdos. There was this crossing guard down there with her, another neighbor. She was feisty, had to be 70, didn't take any mess. She said to me, "Bathwater? Who still takes baths?" They were playing like a good cop, bad cop thing. Like, We're going to handle this guy. I'm helping her mop up. I hear her on the phone. "The guy from upstairs is down here, aren't they decent people?" I got three cards at Christmas, one was from her.
I was raised in Brownsville. Mom was a math teacher, Dad a welder. They bought a house on Dean Street for $23,000 in 1965. Five years ago it went for $175,000. Dad's older brother was the owner of Zeke's Soul Food, the spot in the '50s, '60s, in Bed-Stuy. All the country people would go to Zeke's—Cadillac driving, big cigars. Mom and Dad met at the counter. I just thought of that. Granddaddy sat on the front stool, Aunt Mary at the grill. My parents are retired now to Lone Star, South Carolina. My Uncle Zeke's Last Stop is there now, a little, nasty stop over the train tracks where my dad goes at night, plays cards. Today's my parents' anniversary. When my dad goes in and out, they still kiss. When they watch TV, his head is on a pillow in her lap. Forty-three years together! I'm just waiting for maybe two weeks.

Women boast increasing numbers, more leadership roles in data security
Women are being attracted to data security roles in greater numbers, and women now represent 24 percent of the cybersecurity workforce.
That is the finding of (ISC)², the world's largest nonprofit association of certified cybersecurity professionals, as revealed in its 2019 Women in Cybersecurity report.
According to the study, this estimate is a higher percentage than in past reports, "in part due to the adoption of a new sample methodology that creates a more accurate and holistic representation of the cybersecurity and IT/ICT professionals responsible for securing their organization's critical assets."
While the stronger representation of women in the cybersecurity workforce is encouraging, the report indicates that challenges like wage inequality remain.
"The data confirms what we've been seeing for the past few years on the ground. More women are coming into the field of cybersecurity with post-graduate degrees and not only working in the trenches but also in the C-suite," said (ISC)² CEO David Shearer. "Women in high-level positions will foster more inclusion and inspire young women to join the industry, and there are certainly many exciting opportunities available for those seeking to inspire a safe and secure cyber world. Diversity only makes us stronger."
Among the key findings of the study, the newest generation of professionals entering the cybersecurity field is decidedly more female than in the past: 45 percent of women surveyed are millennials, compared to 33 percent of men.
While just 24 percent of the industry is female today, this will change the face of the cybersecurity profession in the years to come, the report emphasizes.
Women also bring higher levels of education to cybersecurity, the study says. More women (52 percent) in the survey hold a post-graduate degree than their male counterparts (44 percent).
The report also found that although men still outnumber women in cybersecurity by about three to one overall, women in the field are advancing to leadership positions. According to survey respondents, higher percentages of women than men are attaining senior leadership and decision-making positions.
- Chief technology officer – 7 percent of women vs. 2 percent of men
- Vice president of IT – 9 percent of women vs. 5 percent of men
- IT director – 18 percent of women vs. 14 percent of men
- C-level/executive – 28 percent of women vs. 19 percent of men
"It's an encouraging sign that more women are succeeding in cybersecurity and moving up through the ranks," said Jennifer Minella, vice president of engineering and security at Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc. and chairperson of the (ISC)2 Board of Directors. "For many years this hasn't been the case, and we need to continue to do all we can to make ours a welcoming profession for the most talented and innovative individuals, regardless of gender."
Challenges Remain
Despite the progress being made with the numbers of women assuming data security roles, the report also indicates that pay inequities persist. For example, 17 percent of women globally reported annual salaries between $50,000 – $90,000, as compared to 29 percent of men; and 15% of women earn between $100,000 – $499,999, while 20 percent of men earn at least that much.
For all their differences, the report indicates that men and women share a lot of the same concerns about their roles, including lack of commitment from upper management, the reputation of their organization, risk of seeing their job outsourced, lack of work/life balance, the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) reducing the need for cybersecurity workers and a lack of standardized cybersecurity terminology to effectively communicate within their organizations.

At SSAT we know from our conversations with school leaders that securing and maintaining high levels of attendance, whatever your context and no matter what the challenges, has to be tackled as a priority.
The links between good attendance, progress and attainment and future success are evidenced in research and outcomes in schools and destinations. We know that in school, every day matters and every learning experience counts towards a successful future for individual learners.
This programme will:
- Provide an independent review of your school / academy's attendance and punctuality systems and strategies
- Suggest new approaches to further improve attendance and punctuality rates
Improving whole school attendance cards
Download examples of some of the core questions
We were able to share successful strategies and utilise your experiences and expertise to identify strategies that we could adopt or strengthen to improve our provision.
How will this programme benefit my school / academy?
- Work with SSAT who will provide an independent and specialist focus on reviewing your whole school attendance and punctuality systems and procedures.
- Work with an experienced Senior Education Lead to identify examples of good practice and strategies to improve attendance and punctuality.
- Receive an independent evaluation of your systems and the impact on whole school attendance and persistent absence.
Including in the programme are the following stages:
- A pre-visit audit tool to evaluate your whole school practices covering the following seven focus areas:
- Attendance and Punctuality Policy and Strategy: A focus on the policy and strategies used to address attendance and punctuality.
- Leadership and Management of Attendance and Punctuality: An overview of the roles and responsibilities undertaken by staff and the relationship between stakeholders to monitor and improve attendance and punctuality.
- Aims, Targets and KPI's: Explore the specific targets and key performance indicators for the school/academy.
- Systems and Procedures: An analysis of the criteria and monitoring procedures to support improvements in attendance and punctuality.

- Parental and Community Engagement: How has the school/academy engaged and raised the profile of attendance with the wider community?
- A half-day visit to your school from a Senior Education Lead to review and discuss the school's systems and strategy with staff who have a strategic responsibility for monitoring and reviewing attendance and punctuality.
- A follow-up report providing feedback and identifying further areas to focus on and new strategies to implement.
Further information
- £1075 + VAT – SSAT members
- £1290 + VAT – SSAT non-members
If you would like support in attendance and punctuality but think you might need something more bespoke for your school's context, please don't hesitate to get in touch and we'd be happy to help.
Throughout the attendance review process you maintained an open, honest and supportive approach whilst still providing clear challenge to our current practice at the academy. The review was a two-way process where we were able to share successful strategies with you and utilise your experiences and expertise to identify strategies that we could adopt or strengthen to improve our provision. You have given us some clear areas for development that will further improve attendance and attendance practices at our academy. These have been adopted and now form part of our Academy Improvement Plan. We very much enjoyed the time you spent with us and look forward to working with you in the future.

Principal, Bristnall Hall Academy

Interview with Sharon Kleinbaum, April 2015
Senior Rabbi at CBST (Congregation Beit Simchat Torah
Tell us a little bit about your involvement in the early days of the AIDS epidemic.
It's impossible to overstate the role of AIDS in the early life of CBST, when the disease claimed 25% of the men in our congregation. I arrived on August 1, 1992 as CBST's first rabbi, and a month later I led the funeral service for the immediate past president of the congregation, Mel Rosen, who was the first executive director of GMHC. AIDS was one of the most important factors leading CBST to hire a rabbi. Someone needed to handle the spiritual crisis exacerbated by the constant drumbeat of illness, death and bereavement. I was doing more funerals than other life cycle events, burying people my own age, while trying to create a community of people not completely diminished by this burden. Jewish funeral homes wouldn't handle with dignity someone who died of AIDS. I had to fight the funeral homes to get respectful Jewish funerals for our congregants. There were often two different memorial services, one arranged by the family that did not mention the words "gay" or "AIDS" and then ours, where we could acknowledge him in his wholeness.
Did AIDS find its way into the liturgical life of the congregation?
Yes. While the epidemic was transformational for our congregation, eventually the deaths abated. I stopped looking out into the congregation to see who looked sick, who was missing. The constant funerals stopped. We made several quilts, one for the NAMES Project, and two others we still display at our services. Each year on the Friday closest to World AIDS Day, we have a special shabbat service that features prominent speakers from the HIV world, including from an international perspective. We also added special HIV related readings to our siddur, our prayer book remembrances from congregants, as well as poems and literary and dramatic excerpts by writers such as Tony Kushner, William Finn and Thom Gunn which we read together at services throughout the year. At the service, we ask members to share their remembrances of congregants who died of AIDS. Together, we take on the sacred responsibility of remembering our dead.
How is the congregation dealing with the epidemic today?
People with HIV in our congregation still need support, spiritual and otherwise, and congregants need to know how to protect themselves from contracting the virus, especially younger people who did not live through those terrible times. Our Director of Social Justice Programming, Rabbi David Bauer, has taken on this role and is creating some novel programs, including the first ever Jewish safer sex campaign, funded by UJA. How the times have changed. Part of this program is condom distribution. Unbeknownst to her parents, our Associate Rabbi's four-year-old daughter took a handful of condoms to her preschool in Park Slope and distributed them to her friends. When the principal called CBST to speak to her parent, she said the young girl had said she was giving the condoms out to "help keep grownups safe and healthy."

*squees* times a million from this quarter
My review of Just a Feeling by J.H. Knight
I've been waiting for this one not even the psychic tag is going to deter me...because I really love nanny romances.
Um...my heart melts when I see a tattooed, burly guy with a baby.
Pardon me.
Um...this story is somewhere in the 4.5 - 5 stars range, so I'm just cutting to the chase and round this shit because this is totally one of my favorites of the event.
It was sweet but not overly sticky, it was funny but not at the expense of the characters, it was real because babies don't come with a manual and it was touching because through grief came a pretty solid HFN/HEA that read organic.
This is my first J.H. Knight too! Yay!
Mark is an ex-solider who planned on being uncle to his best friend's baby and due to an unfortunate event, he's a father to a baby boy he can't even name. He's tired, he's heartbroken and he is in love with the tiny human who is colicky and drives him up the wall.
But he knows the baby has him as his protector. And Mark is the kind of guy who will step up to the plate.
Ian, the auburn haired (I swear he's a great character, I'm not rhapsodizing just because he's a ginger) nanny, who is snarky and overly qualified, makes Mark realize a few things:
- that he can accept help
- that he can learn to balance this parenting thing with an extra set of hands
- that he can possibly...have a meaningful relationship
Ian is a great character
from a big family who gets people, how different personalities work. He's adaptable but firm in his beliefs when it counts.
Reading Mark fall for Ian was beautiful. He was trying to fight it but it's inevitable. *pink and gushy sigh*
My only complaint? I wished this was longer. :D
I loved Ian's family (Dave and his mouth is the shit! The shit!) And the snark, great level of snark. Yup. :D
Um...it's safe to say I'll try to fit in the books I have by this author collecting dust on my Kindle sooner than later.
Highly recommended for nanny romance lovers, lovers of babies in romances and happy (let me borrow from Cupcake) squishy feels.
It's a feel good romance.
My thanks to the author and the team behind the event! *♡*
