Freebie Etiquette (Yes, There is Such a Thing!)
When you are on the hunt for free stuff, it can be easy to be so blinded by the offers that your manners go flying out the window completely. You may also just not realize that when it comes to taking advantage of freebies there is a general code of conduct that it pays to follow. While you are racking up the free stuff, keep these common courtesy rules in mind so that you are doing your part to keep the hunt for freebies fun and enjoyable.
Freebie etiquette rule number one is to remember that there is a face behind every freebie, no matter how distant it may seem. Since so many freebies come from websites and you don?t actually have interaction with a human being while you are getting them, it can be very easy to forget that someone (or very likely, a lot of someones) worked hard to bring you that website and that free deal. If you have a problem with a website or a form while trying to get some free stuff, deal with it as respectfully as you would if you had to approach a customer service rep in person. Leaving foul-mouthed posts on a message board or unloading a barrage of outrage on a customer reply form isn?t the way forward. Someone ? a real person ? will have to help you, and you?ll get a lot further by treating them with respect.
Respect is also the name of the game when it comes to rules attached for freebie offers. There are often restrictions in place for taking advantage of free offers, such as the age you have to be to cash in on the offer or how many offers per household can be taken. Sure, there are plenty of ways to get around these rules and ?trick? a company into giving you an offer for which you are not really eligible. However, when you try to simply bleed out as many free offers as you can, you?re only making it hard on companies to be able to keep bringing these offers to you. If this freebie isn?t for you, take a back seat and make room for the folks who can take advantage of it. Your time will come.
Related to this last rule is the idea of not being too greedy when gobbling up the free stuff. Just because something is free doesn?t mean you should use a ?smash and grab? approach and go for as much as you can get of anything you can get. Remember that there are a lot of other people out there who like to get in on the freebies, too, and think about how you would feel if you lost out on something you really wanted because someone came along and took them all. Don?t take more than your share of any free offer, and don?t take things you don?t want or need just because they?re free. Everyone loses when you do that.
Last but not least, if you have an opportunity to say thanks for a freebie, grab it. Of course, this can be hard to do when the free offers you are taking advantage of are found on the Internet, but there are still ways. Look for the customer comment field in the request forms you fill out to get your free stuff and leave a quick thank you there. You can also write a thank you on message boards and chat rooms that are associated with the freebie websites. The good will generated by your gratitude will only help convince companies that freebie offers are useful tools for reeling in the customers.
Copyright Law Act The Copyright Law Act of 1976 The Copyright Law Act of 1976 is the basis of the United States copyright laws. The Copyright Law Act states the rights of copyright owners, the doctrine of the fair use copyright laws and it changed the term life of copyrights. Before the Copyright Law Act the law had not been revised since 1909. It was necessary that the copyright laws be revised to take into account technological strides that were being made in radio, sound recordings, motions pictures and more. The Copyright Law Act of 1976 preempted all previous laws that were on the books in the United States, including the Copyright Act of 1909. The Copyright Law Act of 1976 defines ?works of authorship? to include all of the following: * Musical works * Literary works * Dramatic works * Pictorial, sculptural and graphics * Motion Pictures and Audiovisuals * Sound Recordings * Choreographic Works and Pantomimes * An eighth work which falls under ?architectural works? was later added in 1990. What is unique about the United States copyright law is that it is automatic. Once someone has an idea and produces it in tangible form, the creator is the copyright holder and has the authority to enforce his exclusivity to it. In other words, the person is the owner of the creation. It is not necessary that a person register their work. However, it is recommended and it can serve as evidence if someone ever violates a copyright. It is interesting to note that when an employer hires an employee to produce a work that the copyright is given to the employer. Violations of US Copyright Law are generally enforced in a civil court setting. However, there could also be criminal sanctions brought against someone who violates US copyright law. Someone that is in serious violation of US Copyright Law such as counterfeiting can find themselves on the inside of prison looking out. People need to understand that the copyright symbol is not a requirement. Someone may have a copyright, yet their work may not have a copyright notice or symbol. US Copyright Law covers a wide range of things that are derived from artistic expression, intellectual or creative work. This includes things such as literary works, music, drawings, photographs, software, movies, choreographic works such as ballets and plays, poems, paintings and more. The law covers the form of expression, not the concept, facts or the actual idea of the work. This means that someone can use another person?s idea or concept and produce their own take on it. However, copying another person?s work is a violation. It should be noted that some things may not be copyrighted but they may be protected by a patent or trademark. Individuals who have a copyright on a particular piece of work can do with it what they will. They may choose to copy it and sell it. They may display their work or perform it in public and charge admission, or they can assign or sell the work to someone else. Individuals who have a copyright can also choose to do nothing with their work, if that is their desire. However, if someone comes along and takes the work and tries to use it in some way, that person is still in violation of the owner?s copyright. The Copyright Law Act covers published and unpublished work.
The "Catch" to Some of these Freebie Sites Remember that old saying, "There's no such thing as a free lunch?" Well, it's not true?there are plenty of freebies out there. However, there are some things you should know about if you are going to go after these freebies. The World Wide Web is awash with web sites that like to offer visitors with loads of tempting freebies. But although many of these are legitimate offers, there are some things you should know about these freebie sites. Here are some things to know about these freebie sites. Getting Things for Free?A Caveat Here is the basic caveat when it comes to these freebie offers?there is usually something you will have to endure in order to get your freebie. Although you may not have to make any sort of financial contribution or monetary expense, you will have to pay in some small non-monetary way. Here is a quick rundown of various kinds of 'catches' that you may come across as you seek out the best of the web's freebies. Watching Ads Before You Get to the Good Stuff One of the most common techniques that websites will use before you can get access to their freebies is to force you to watch ads. There are many different versions of this method. Many sites that promote freebies will support their site through advertisements. Most advertisements show up as pop-up or banner ads. Some websites also use video websites. With the ubiquity of high speed Internet, video ads have lately become the preferred method of advertisement on many websites. The less subtle of these ads are the pop-up and banner ads. Pop-up ads are often quite obtrusive and they can interrupt your enjoyment of the website. You might want to avoid ad-based freebie sites at work, as these can often interfere with your screen. Many popular freebie websites also offer ad-free versions of their content. This may be something to consider if you really find the website's content valuable. Be Wary of Automatic E-mail Sign-Ups Many freebie websites will sign you up automatically for their email newsletters. The worst-case scenario is when the website allows its partners to bombard you with email ads. What is the best way to avoid getting on an unwanted email list? Read the fine print, and whenever you get the option, uncheck the opt-in box at the very bottom of the page. Take Care of Your Privacy Many sites that offer freebies make money by selling the personal information that they gain from their web traffic. In order to avoid having your personal information being sold, you should avoid giving your personal information to websites that can't provide you with an upfront privacy policy. You should also look for the TRUSTe seal that ensures your personal information is kept secure and private. Also, never provide more information than you need to provide. Avoid Large Downloads Whenever Possible Another thing you should watch out for are large downloads. Although there are many legitimate large downloads out there, you should avoid sites that don't tell you exactly what you are downloading, how long the download will take, and how big the file size is. Watch Out for Disappearing Websites If there is one thing to know about freebie websites is that they are often 'here today, gone tomorrow' type enterprises. Many freebie websites simply don't survive for very long. You should think hard before committing to a website that offers free services that you will have to depend on. The last thing you want is to depend on a website's services, and then have those services disappear or suspended.
Making Effective Web Publishing Content (web publishing content) Web publishing content is important for a successful website. The content of a web site can often make or break that site, and it is important to make the site as attractive as possible, without over doing it. The content of a web site must be updated on a regular basis to keep web surfers coming back. Updated web content not only keep surfers coming back, but is also indexed more frequently by search engines. Fresh material is one of the key aspects of successful web publishing content and may generate fresh faces to a web site. One way to update the content of a web site is to update the existing web pages. Providing new content could include updating the conditions of a service, adding a new product or service, or creating a turnkey solution that will save the customer?s money or time. The web content should reflect the most recent information about a business. It is simple to provide changes to the web content, but many web sites provide updates without providing a notice. So, it is indicative to provide a notice of change each time web publishing content is changed. The announcements should be displayed prominently on the web site so that all surfers are able to see. It is also important to write articles for the web site. Articles can be seen as a valuable source for a web site?s success. The articles can be used to educate visitors on the web site and the business, while showcasing the owner?s expertise. Articles can be posted on the web site or used in a newsletter and submitted to other newsletters and web sites for syndication. This web publishing content can be used by other web site owners, which will provide leverage to the articles while generating publicity for the author and the author?s web site, while exposing them to new audiences. Writing an article seems simple enough, but there are many web site owners who are unable to find topics to write on. However, topics may be more evident than most web content writers may think. Topics for articles can be found in the news, in conversations with clients and colleagues, in networking events that are attended, and even in speeches. Blogging is also an excellent way to expand your list of web publishing content. Most web site owners can benefit from learning to blog, learning to start a blog, learning how to gain readers, and learning to make money from blogs. Blogging is becoming one of the most popular tools for showing new content on a web site. A web log can be used to answer web site visitors? questions, inform users about new services and products, and to keep them up-to-date on industry news. Blogs are a great resource for sharing opinions and displaying expertise. The blog can be used to help an owner connect with their web site visitors while generating new web site content. Updating web publishing content on a regular basis is vital to the success of a web site and very important for many web site owners. Articles, newsletter, and blogging should be a part of a regular business schedule, and will work perfectly in keeping a web site owner connected to their visitors. The quality of the web content on a web site can make it more attractive to users or can make it very unattractive to users. Owners should use their expertise to provide writing that is interesting and necessary. Visitors will appreciate the extra effort and owners will get the rewards of maintaining good web content for their users.

Rejuvenating, lovely haven!
This sweet little cottage was the perfect tonic for refreshing my spirits after navigating a divorce and the sale of our family home in Wisconsin. The cozy, comfortable interior was the perfect size for one or two occupants and was very easy to maintain. Doing dishes by hand made me feel like I had stepped back in time! My hosts were there when I needed them, otherwise I felt like I was in the middle of a vast forest with only the occasional yelp of a coyote to keep me company. This lovely cottage is a real slice of heaven!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Response to ag report misses the mark
The final report to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada from a series of consumer focus groups it commissioned last year is enlightening, but not because of what it tells us about how domestic customers view this country's agriculture sector.
Rather, it speaks volumes about the people asking the questions.
The final report, titled Modern Agriculture and Agricultural Awareness Focus Groups, was delivered to the department in April, but never publicized. It now sits quietly tucked away in its online archives -- perhaps for good reason.
It reflects a department and an industry that is remarkably out of sync with what is arguably its most important constituency: the Canadian consumer and taxpayer.
You would think a government's agriculture department would be focused primarily on feeding that country's people. According to this report, "AAFC's mandate is to work with farmers and food producers to support the growth and development of the agriculture and agri-food sector by means of policies, programs, research and technology that help producers and food manufacturers succeed in the domestic and global markets."
Toward that end, AAFC awarded a contract worth just under $100,000 to have consultants gauge public perceptions of the industry to help develop a communications strategy emphasizing the sector's importance to the Canadian economy.
"A key priority for AAFC is to communicate the role and importance of the agricultural sector in the lives of Canadians," the report says, noting the sector contributes $100 billion annually to this country's GDP. Canada is the fifth-largest agriculture and agri-food exporter in the world. The sector generates $44 billion in exports and employs 2.1 million Canadians.
The concern is, people don't seem to appreciate that or the fact the sector represents much more than what is grown on the farm.
One question this brings to mind is why this is a government priority. Does it do the same for other industries?
The consultants reported that Canadians are indeed clinging to quaint images of agriculture. "When participants think about the sector there is a tendency to envisage farms, livestock, crops, green pastures, endless wheat fields, and prairie landscapes. This type of imagery reinforces a view of the sector as traditional, rather than modern, progressive and innovative."
And there is a sense that all is not well.
"Recent surveys of the Canadian public have underscored a number of misperceptions about the agricultural sector and a relatively pessimistic public view with respect to its future outlook," the report says, citing "alarmist documentaries and media reports" as the culprits.
What misperceptions are they talking about? The focus groups raised concerns about genetically modified organisms, consolidation in the agricultural sector, encroachment of development on agricultural lands, declining interest among current and future generations in the sector, unsustainable farming practices and keeping food production in pace with global population growth.
Other than perhaps genetically modified organisms, many in agriculture share the same concerns. Are they confused too?
Another "misperception" the authors cite is the belief among many consumers Canada lacks food self-sufficiency, or is at risk of losing it. "Unclear on the facts, there was a tendency among many to conclude that Canada must be a net importer of agricultural goods," the report says.
Well, based on the food people actually eat, they aren't far off. Consider this data from the Hellman's Eat Real, Eat Local campaign:
• Canadians import 53 per cent of their vegetables and 78 per cent of their fruit, including produce types that can be grown domestically.
• Over the past four decades, red-meat imports have risen 600 per cent.
• Over the past 15 years, Canadian food imports rose 160 per cent, while the country's population rose 15 per cent.
• For every apple Canada exports, it imports five.
• In the last half of the 20th century, Ontario paved over 49 per cent its prime farmland to accommodate expansion of the Toronto area.
Canada is undeniably a net exporter of agricultural goods measured in dollars, but consumers look at the food going into their grocery carts. By that measure, Canadian agriculture isn't all that significant.
The challenge for AAFC is to demonstrate how the contents of that grocery cart would change if agriculture in Canada disappeared.

Lotus suffering without FRIC
style="margin: 0px; font-family: Times;"> HOCKENHEIM, 18th July 2014 (F1Plus / Graham Keilloh) - Both Lotus drivers have confirmed that they are suffering without the FRIC system. Despite the general woes this season for Lotus, one bright spot was that its car was thought to have one of the most effective, and long-established, FRIC systems in the field. It seemed to show today as – with FRIC now removed up and down the grid – both Enstone drivers underwhelmed on the stopwatch in Friday practice at Hockenheim, and afterwards indicated that the adaptation to running without the system was a trying one. "It's just that we've been using...

Driver Blames Wreck On Turtle, Cat, Squirrel
Get Breaking News First
From Our CBS Music Web Sites
BRYAN (AP) - Police said that a man arrested for drunken driving blamed a turtle, a cat, a squirrel and an overhanging tree in a Central Texas wreck.
When police arrived at the scene just southeast of College Station on Tuesday, the 33-year-old slurring driver was still in his seat and unaware of his location. A witness told officers that the driver passed him on the right shoulder, hit a guardrail, left the road and struck a tree.
The Eagle of Bryan-College Station reported that the North Zulch man told officers that he swerved to avoid the critters and hit the tree.
Police didn't buy the explanation and charged the man with drunken driving. Records show that this his second such arrest, and he could face a year in jail. He is currently free on $7,500 bond.

what about cutting off half of the tree to lessen total weight and putting up braces to prevent the fall over - that is called for also in the PA Tree Technical Manual.
Too expensive?
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Oct 6, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Weight reduction and bracing would have only been another bandaid for this grand tree. The proximity of the house foundation, as seen in the pictures, is ample evidence that the structural roots (large brnach sized roots) on the house side were cut or damaged when the foundation was installed. Without these structural roots, the growing mass of branches caused the tree to lean like a teeter totter. Erecting this house near the grand old tree was its demise.

Very, very sad.
a resident of another community
on Oct 9, 2012 at 5:54 am
Sad, yes. And true, the house was put too close to the tree. This time of year, the tree, or some nearby offspring of it, should have mature acorns that could be used to grow a new tree in the middle of the yard.
a resident of Old Palo Alto
on Oct 9, 2012 at 1:07 pm
From the photos, it looks like the tree had been growing/leaning that way for many years and long before the house was there. The article doesn't say that it was lifting the foundation or tilting due to roots being cut during construction. The article reports that the trunk was cracking. Perhaps it could have been pruned back to reduce the weight causing the crack, but, once any plant or tree gets to this point, it's hard to prevent further damage or decay. Yes, sad but the article doesn't point to the house being the cause.

Bamboo is right about the JTB locations at Mitsuwa. In recent years, a lot of other travel agencies have appeared that offer cheap flights to Japan as well. These tend to vary depending on where you live. A quick way to find out where to get the best prices is to check with your local Japan-America Society or Japan-Canada Society. If you're a student, it often helps to check with the Japanese language department/modern language department on your campus because 1) the travel agencies usually send promotional materials to schools and 2) some agencies offer big discounts to students.
Side note: Every once in a while, Korean Air offers big discounts on their flights to Tokyo. I was able to snag a round trip from Tokyo to LA with them once for $360 round trip^-^. There are lots of cheap options out there, so look everywhere - you'll be shocked how cheap flights can become.

Well if anyone is looking for a place to stay in Tokyo I highly recommend the hostel K's House.
It's in the Asakusa area so it is not necessarily the most central location but Japan's transportation system is very easy to navigate so this wasn't an issue for me at all.
Also the place is clean and cheap and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I guess the only other issue is the showers are communal. Although anyone who lived in a dorm is probably used to this.

I used hostelworld.com to keep my nightly bill at right around $20.
I also booked my one night in a ryokan through japanhotel.net. I had several specific questions for them once I had confirmed the room (such as location and non-smoking requests) and they were quick and very clear with their responses. The best part about japanhotel.net is that you don't have to write in and hope that they actually have a room available at the prices they quote... you pay what is listed there.
Bamboo, hopefully I'll see you at the Game Show!

|I found http://www.asiarooms.com to be very good for finding rooms in Japan. Looking at posted prices on Japanhotels I think AsiaRooms has better prices. I THINK it also has more options, but I could be wrong. One other thing to note to anyone looking at hotel room pictures on these sites. Almost ALWAYS when looking at the pictures of rooms note that a room with two beds the beds are SINGLES, they are not "double beds" (or larger) like in America so keep that in mind when looking at the beds and scale the room accordingly. Japanese hotel rooms are "cozy" and I enjoyed my stays at the hotels but the first time I stepped into a Japanese hotel room I was surprised by the size because of mistaking the scale in online pictures.

Just FYI, if you want to save even more money, you can take a JR line from Narita Airport to your hotel for about 1/3 the price of the Limobus. In fact, I'm pretty sure we spent less than 1000 yen to get to the Crowne Plaza Tokyo Metopolitan Hotel in Ikebukuro when my friend and I went in May, but it definitely wasn't more than 1200. It took roughly the same amount of time as the limobus, give or take about 10 minutes. Plus, it was a freaking awesome experience for someone who had never been out of the US before.
You'll likely have to switch lines once or twice to reach your destination, but you'll be doing that anyways once you start to move around from place to place (unless of course you're loaded and plan on taking taxis everywhere). There is a desk at the airport where you can buy your train ticket and they will help you figure out the fare schedule and what lines to switch on. Once you get on the trains, they are either equipped with television screens that announce the upcoming stops and illustrate the lines, or have a map with a light indicating the current stop and showing the upcoming ones beside it. Oh man... talking about it makes me want to go back so badly... hahaha.

Woo the JRLine to and from Narita to Asakusa (well JR and another stop or two) was killer for our group... especially when we lugged our much-heavier luggage up and down the stairs to get to the terminal. But yes, way cheaper. Think it was $10 or so for us to make that 40+ minute journey.
I suggest for groups making a journey to stay at the Sakura House in Asakusa. We were very happy there. It's clean and quite affordable. Asakusa may seem like where all the old people live in Tokyo (and also where you can find a few HUGE Love Hotels... ^^; ) it's an AMAZING place to stay while in Tokyo. You're next to a huge Buddhist shrine, a far smaller Shinto shrine, and the hugest shopping bazaar ever. Hell, there's an amusement park just a couple of blocks from the hostel. Looooved our week there.
But man... the jetlag. So horrible when I got home. Couldn't fall asleep before 4AM for at least a week..

Really? That is funny. I was falling asleep uncharacteristically early (like 9-10pm or earlier) and waking up at like 5am everyday for the next week after returning home. But then again, I didn't sleep for more than a few hours the last night in Tokyo and maybe all of 15 mins. on the 14 hour plane ride home. ()
I really miss it though. Two weeks seemed like an eternity there compared to two weeks here. I am definitely going back sometime. I am thinking about looking into working for an ESL program for a year before starting law/grad school, but I might wait until I'm finished. I'm not totally sure yet.
I am pretty sure we saw that shrine you are talking about in Asakusa. I know we at least went to that district at some point, and I'm pretty sure that's what it was for. Man, just walking around and exploring everything there was so much fun! ESPECIALLY the food, hehe. I hope to travel abroad to more places once I have the money.

In my opinion if you have never been to Japan and you're staying at a hotel ON the bus route (like the Sunshine Prince or the Crowne Met. in Ikebukuro) take the bus for the inbound. The train may be cheaper and with traffic it might even be faster, but I cannot say enough how convenient it is to be dropped of RIGHT at your hotel. If you've never been to Japan navigating the train stations CAN be intimidating and for certain hotels I wouldn't want to try to find them while hauling luggage. (altho the Metropolitan is ridiculously convenient to the station)
If you're staying at a hotel that is not serviced directly by a limobus, then I agree on the train, altho my own preference is for the NEX (Narita Express) train. It's more expensive, but it goes straight to certain locations (so it's faster) and you don't need to figured out train swaps. It's still approx. the same cost as the bus though, so not much more pricey. But again, IMO if you're talking the difference between $10 and $35 it's worth the extra $25 for the piece of mind of not getting lost looking for the hotel if the bus goes there directly. (especially since some of our group was half asleep by the time we got to the hotel)

It's hard to blame Shinji Mikami for going back to the well, especially when everything else, from Gears of War to The Last of Us, has spent the past ten years stripping Resident Evil 4 to its bones. ― The Evil Within introduces its first enemy in a perfect recreation of Resident Evil's iconic zombie reveal, as if it wants to be certain you know it is a Shinji Mikami game. This is a game with a lot o...

Atwood's "MaddAddam": the future, after we're gone
Margaret Atwood's new novel "MaddAddam" is the inventive conclusion to her dystopian trilogy that began with "Oryx and Crake" and "The Year of the Flood." Atwood appears Oct. 4 at Town Hall Seattle.
Special to The Seattle Times
Author appearance
Margaret Atwood
The author of "MaddAddam" will appear at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 4 at Town Hall Seattle. Co-sponsored by the University Book Store (206-634-3400). Tickets are $5; for more information go to townhallseattle.org).
by Margaret Atwood
Doubleday, 390 pp., $27.95
The palm-out hand printed on the egg on "MaddAddam's" cover seems meant to warn potential readers away. And the table of contents lists obscure, stylized chapter headings such as "The Story of when Zeb was lost in the Mountains, and ate the Bear" and "Intestinal Parasites, the Game." Despite these daunting preambles, this third book of Margaret Atwood's acclaimed near-future dystopian trilogy is its best.
Named for an eco-terrorist group featured throughout the series, "MaddAddam" begins shortly after the near-simultaneous ends of "Oryx and Crake" and "The Year of the Flood." To make its connection with the previous action clearer, a foreword sums up humanity's fall, which was seen in the trilogy's first volume through the eyes of a man of the elite class, and in the second from the viewpoints of two working women. The protagonists of both books slowly came to realize that they weren't the sole survivors of the pandemic that dealt homo sapiens its deathblow. The two books closed on unresolved questions as Snowman (a friend of the bioengineer Crake, unleasher of the plague and creator of humanity's replacements) and Toby (one of the eco-pacifist "God's Gardeners") speculated in parallel about how they'd guide each other's fates.
The chapter following these synopses is in the voice of a storyteller addressing members of the childlike new race. It reads a bit like a creation tale, which it is, in part. Most of the rest is a flashback to — yet again — the final days of humankind's dominion over the Earth, but it also encompasses some action that has taken place since Snowman and Toby put on their thinking caps. Eventually it becomes clear that the bulk of these tales are told by Toby. They're interspersed with more conventional accounts of the survivors building and defending a community in alliance with their intended replacements and another bioengineered species.,
This is a complicated scenario. Atwood handles it well. Repetition becomes recursiveness, and she writes with insight and no pretension about how narratives work with and through one another: "There's the story, then there's the real story, then there's the story of how the story came to be told." She tells all these sorts of stories in "MaddAddam" satisfyingly, and of course, beautifully. Her description of evening coming to two old lovers: "Purple darkness wells up from the earth, bats flit past like leathery butterflies, night flowers open, musking the air."
Atwood's extrapolations — an ineffective "Save the Polar Bears" charity, blimps with flapping wings — seem totally plausible, even when she pokes fun at them. As well as its ideas, science fiction is known for its neologisms: the names authors invent for their inventions. Here, too, Atwood excels; "rakunks" and "liobams" roam the woods near the fledgling MaddAddamite community's home, solar-powered "violet biolets" compost waste before succumbing to technology's inevitable degeneration.
Eventually, toward "MaddAddam's" conclusion, birth and decay, death and growth bring about quite a different world than the one in which the trilogy began. But tales are still told, and in this, the third and final book, Atwood presents a moving and convincing case for our stories' continued existence long after we're gone.
Seattle author Nisi Shawl recently edited "Bloodchildren: Stories by the Octavia E. Butler Scholars," a fundraising e-book anthology for the Octavia E. Butler Scholarship.

Why shopping around for your car insurance is vital!
As we covered in one of our recent articles on motor insurance, the AA reported a 7.2% increase in average car insurance premiums in the final quarter of 2009. However, the annual increase in car insurance premiums is well into double digits and there is serious concern that motorists will be hit with higher and higher premiums in the short to medium term.
Many of us will have been with the same car insurance company for a number of years and ultimately there are thousands in the UK who will never have looked around. However, there are many comparison websites available which will indicate any potential savings you could make by taking your car insurance elsewhere. Even if your current insurance company turns out to be the most cost-effective for your situation then surely a quick look around the comparison websites will do you no harm?
The truth is that developments in the online arena now make it easier than ever before to check out a whole raft of different car insurance companies using one simple form. Gone are the days when individual e-mails and individual forms had to be completed, and in many cases you will have a summary of estimated car insurance premiums from different providers within a matter of seconds. Many people have made savings into the hundreds of pounds simply by looking around, so what do you have to lose?

Case Study: Pacing products key to Cumberland's path
10 Minutes to Better Business

When Cumberland Pharmaceuticals went public in 2009, it was the first IPO from a Middle Tennessee company in three years, and the first IPO from a pharmaceutical company in nearly two years. The decision to go public drew skepticism from some analysts, as share prices fell by two-thirds over that first year.
Since then, the company has encountered its share of roadblocks on the path to profitability, mainly related to its prime money maker, Acetadote, following FDA approval last year of a competing generic version of the specialty drug that sells directly to hospitals. The stock price has not crossed the double-digit mark since 2010, and the 52-week range is $4.03 to $8.
But investor hesitation hasn't prevented Cumberland Pharmaceuticals from growing revenue and posting positive net income for the past three years. Year-end earnings haven't been posted yet, but analysts are estimating revenue of $48.9 million, just shy of the $51 million the company posted last year, but still above the 2010 and 2009 mark.
Cumberland Pharmaceutical CEO A.J. Kazimi understands the sensitive spot his company is in, operating in a high-risk industry. To steer the company on a path toward year-over-year growth, he crafts a portfolio of products that are at different stages in their life cycle, diversifying revenue and shielding the company from concentrated risk.
"The combination of multiple products at multiple stages of their life cycle, when combined together, leads to year-on-year growth," Kazimi said.
For example, the company began ramping up Acetedote in 2004, and today, it's available in 4,000 hospitals across the country. Anticipating competition and slow-down in market penetration, Cumberland introduced Caldalor in 2009, which today is available in more than 800 hospitals across the country. In January, the company announced Caldalor will be available in Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country and which happens to be in the midst of its biggest hospital building boom ever.
