Because the sequester is (and is likely to continue to be) very ill-defined in the minds of most Americans, the politics of it will devolve into a popularity contest between the major players. Which gets us to the fact that Obama is at (or close to) his high-water mark in terms of job approval, while Congress sits in political reporter/used car salesman territory.The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, theorizing that there's no way possible way Congress can win the sequester battle against President Obama. The thinking here is is based on three premises: One, that Obama believes the sequester ultimately will not be avoided, because Congress is dysfunctional and if they could have struck a deal on these cuts, there wouldn't have been a sequester to begin with; two, that effects of the sequestered cuts will be felt by many Americans once they come into effect; and three, that Obama is significantly more popular than Congress. Given these three assumptions, it seems reasonable enough to conclude that if the sequester happens, Congress—and the GOP-led House of Representatives—will be blamed by the American public. It's not a bad theory, though it's still quite speculative given the assumptions. More information on the sequester here. source
By the way, it's worth noting that the bill is intended as a backup plan, in case members of Congress fail to come to a bipartisan solution on the issue."We're doing exactly what the president said we would do last month … which is we're preparing. We're going to be ready," said White House Chief of staff Denis McDonough.
Don't get me wrong. As the son of a single mom, who gave everything she had to raise me with the help of my grandparents, I turned out okay. But at the same time, I wish I'd have had a father who was around and involved.President Obama • Speaking to a predominantly black high school audience at Hyde Park Academy in the South Side of Chicago today, with a slightly different angle on the pro-gun control rhetoric he's been voicing of late — urging that positive examples in poverty-stricken communities, in family life as well as community life, are also necessary to reduce violence: "…it can feel like the future only extends to the next street corner or the outskirts of town… There are entire neighborhoods where they don't see an example of somebody succeeding." source
We are citizens. It's a word that doesn't just describe our nationality or legal status. It describes the way we're made. It describes what we believe. It captures the enduring idea that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, that our rights are wrapped up in the rights of others, and that well into our third century as a nation, it remains the task of us all, as citizens of these United States, to be the authors of the next great chapter of our American story. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless these United States of America.President Obama, closing out the first State of the Union address of his second term.
When any American, no matter where they live or what their party, are denied [the right to vote] because they can't afford to wait for five, or six, or seven hours to cast a ballot, we are betraying our ideals. So tonight I'm announcing a non-partisan commission to improve the voting experience in America, and it definitely needs improvement. …we can fix this, and we will. The American people demand it, and so does our democracy.President Obama, calling for reforms to the voting process.This was foreshadowed in a single line during his victory speech on election night 2012 ("we have to fix that"), and as Obama explained, attorneys from both his campaign and that of his opponent, Mitt Romney, will participate in the effort.
…an AIDS free generation is within our reach.President Obama, echoing remarks by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, that medical advancements, prevention and education could usher in a new era, free from the scourge of AIDS.

Hi all,
my parents are throwing a dinner party on saturday and im in charge of the hor d'oevres and apps. instead of pasta or risotto, my mom wants to have a nice spread of interesting things to munch on with drinks before we serve the main course. so far, i've been told to make figs wrapped in brie and prosciutto, as well as my chick pea spread.
Criteria: i would like to make as much as possible, so no premade apps allowed. my parents are not very adventurous, therefore if we could stick to italian or european apps, that would be great.
Can you help me? I realize its last minute
There was a recent thread with a lot of good ideas for an elegant cocktail party. Here's a link to get you started:
The leaves of Belgian Endive make a great "boat" holder for virtually any creamy appetizer spread and look very elegant - here's a link to a picture so you can see what I mean - it happens to be a smoked salmon spread (always delicious) but I've used goat cheese with pistachios and walnuts, etc, etc,
Goat cheese mousse with parmesan tuiles are always a big hit! There's a recipe in Bouchon's cookbook.
Here are some ideas:
Tabbouleh, pesto, couscous or tuna/chicken salad stuffed cherry tomatoes
Sautee mushroom filled puff pastry squares
Lamb kofte or spinach feta wrapped in filo
Salmon filled pastry pockets
Turkey (or other meats) meatballs with a vareity of dipping sauces
Baked brie
Asiago breadsticks
Grilled marinated vegetables
Roasted baby potatoes
How about a nice antipasto platter? Do you have a good Italian deli? You can load it w/ various olives, roasted peppers, dried sausage, artichoke hearts, eggplant, good tuna, etc. I do it on a round platter and put good Italian dressing in a bowl in the center. Toasted crostini on a separate plate and bread sticks in a nice glass works w/ it too. Hope it goes well.
I served brie with sliced pears and dried cranberries on simple crackers tonight and it was a big hit. And simple!
Skewer fresh mozzarella, basil and grape tomatoes on toothpicks. Serve with a balsamic/olive oil dip.....
Wow...thanks to much, all of these ideas sound really delicious, and many seem pretty easy to make. I think i'll end up going with the belgian endive boats, the mushrooms in puff pastry, breadsticks, antipasto platter (my dad makes his own salumi), ...omg, i think i'm going to have a HUGE spread if i dont control myself. i have to remember that there's 2 main courses too!!! Thanks again.
re: manic2
Just saw a new Martha Stewart book on Hors d'oeuvres. Not a huge fan of Ms. Stewart, but this book is a knockout! I've added it to my Christmas wish list. COMPREHENSIVE and beautifully rendered. Leafing through it will give lots of ideas, and dependable recipes.
re: Trucster
Santa brought the book, as requested. Actually, it is not a new book -- published a few years back. Title: The Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook.
re: Trucster
This is an awesome book, my go-to for canapes and hor d'oeuvres with great presentation ideas. Just watch out for overly complicated techniques. I nearly lost my mind making fish crackers out of mashed potatoes.
I went to a cocktail party this weekend, and one of my favorite things was also the simplest: dates wrapped in bacon (cooked/heated in the oven).
A platter with smoked salmon drizzed with a little olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkled with capers and diced red onion or chives is also extremely simple and delicious.
re: cherie
Love the dates wrapped in bacon, but you also could kick it up by stuffing the dates with goat cheese before wrapping with the bacon.
Surprise your parents with the old-school cocktail party hors d'oeuvre Rumaki. I made these for my parents and was astounded at how much they loved them.
Epicurious has a great recipe here:
What about parmesan asparagus spears wrapped in puff pastry? I've made them before and they are pretty easy and they went really fast: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/rec...

President inaugurates AMU campus in Bengal
President Pranab Mukherjee Thursday inaugurated a campus of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) here in West Bengal's Murshidabad district
Speaking on the occasion, the president said the university would serve students from the region who have been migrating to the AMU in Uttar Pradesh because of its academic excellence.
Refering to Sir Syed Ahmad Khan's remarks while laying the foundation stone of the Muhammadan Anglo Oriental College - now known as AMU - that the seed would mature into mighty tree from whose roots would sprout saplings, Mukherjee said: "The AMU Murshidabad Centre is a true example of the sapling that has sprouted to extend education."
Speaking at another programme, Mukherjee urged students to attain proper eligibility to harness opportunities being provided for higher education.
The president said opportunities for studying post graduate courses in AMU Centre Murshidabad, could not be availed of unless students acquire the requisite qualification and are successful in the entrance examination.
The work on the AMU centres at Murshidabad and Kerala's Mallapuram were started in 2010 and the centre at Bihar's Kishanganj in 2012.
In 1875, the AMU's journey began as Muhammadan Anglo Oriental College, an affiliate of the Calcutta University. Ten years later, in 1995, it was brought under Allahabad University, and then upgraded to a university in 1920.
Mukherjee had represented Jangipur Lok Sabha constituency from 2004 to 2012, when he was elected to the nation's highest office.

The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program is a great opportunity for your student. Outlined below are some things to think about as you consider your student participating.
1. Students can earn high school and college credits. Students who want to replace a high school graduation requirement with a college course must meet with their high school guidance counselor.
2. Students have access to coursework that may not be offered at the high school. Students can take a wide variety of courses at COTC, including technical courses.
3. Students can take academically challenging courses.
4. Students can explore areas of interest before beginning college full-time. Saves time and money!
5. Your student can get a head start on a degree! Does your student know what they want to do after high school? Post-Secondary Enrollment Options allows them to begin taking courses toward their educational goal now!
6. Students get to experience a college classroom before beginning college full-time. This experience can help ease the transition into college by alleviating fears of what to expect!
1. Students experience an increased responsibility for learning, increased rigor of courses and increased time commitment. Make sure your student is ready for the expectations of college!
2. Grades earned at COTC can impact your student's high school GPA. Grades are reported to the high school every term and calculate into the students cumulative high school GPA.
3. Students involved in extra-curriculur activities or part-time employment may have limited time available to take a college course. Some students decide to take online courses or take a term off in order to maintain their high school involvement.
4. Students and parents may incur a financial obligation for participating. Option B covers tuition and required textbooks, but students must purchase other required material, such as calculators, uniforms, etc. If a student fails to successfully complete a college course through Option B, the student and/or parent can be held financially responsible for tuition and fees by the school district.
Please Note: Students and parents are required to attend a counseling session before participating in the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program. These sessions occur before March 30th every year. Check with your high school guidance counselor for more information.

May 29, 2000 -- Todd Melby is the editor of Contemporary Sexuality, a publication of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. You wouldn't think that he'd need any help teaching his two sons about the facts of life. But the Minneapolis dad acknowledges that he did.
"The schools concentrate on anatomy, but there's much more to sex than that," Melby says. "I wanted my kids to learn about the moral and emotional aspects as well, and I didn't want to leave it to chance."

Read the Dr. Phil & Robin's Do-It-Yourself Marriage Makeover article > >
That's why Melby attended a day-long father-son workshop sponsored by Planned Parenthood of Minnesota/South Dakota with his 12-year-old son. There, with the help of facilitators and sex educators, the 10- to 12-year-old boys learned about their sexual development. Fathers and sons took turns talking and listening to each other. Later, Melby went to a church-sponsored program on sex education with his other son, who was 14.
The Problem
Enlightened programs such as these are rare. That's unfortunate, because when it comes to sex ed, there's a big difference between what American parents say they want from schools and what the schools provide.
For instance, a 1999 poll by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) in New York City showed that 93% of Americans support teaching sex education in high schools (84% also approve of sex ed in middle school and junior high). But a survey of 825 public school districts released late last year by the Alan Guttmacher Institute found that only one in seven actually teaches a comprehensive program that treats abstinence as one option but includes instruction on contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. One in three districts surveyed prohibits discussion of contraception or only emphasizes its shortcomings while it advocates an abstinence-only policy.
Statistics from such diverse organizations as the American Medical Association, the National Council of Churches, and the YWCA, as well as hundreds of published studies, show that abstinence-only programs not only fail to discourage young people from having intercourse but also may increase the chances that they will not use contraception and condoms when they do have sex.
The Solutions
So what's a concerned parent to do? Experts agree that the responsibility is too important to be left to schools, which means that it's your job as a parent. If you're uncomfortable with the idea, it may help to know this: "Research shows that children, including teenagers, wish their parents would talk to them more about sex than they do," says Monica Rodriguez, director of information and education for SIECUS. "Whether they say anything about [sex] or not, parents are their children's primary sex educators. To say nothing is to say a lot."
A study conducted for the D.C. Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy released earlier this year found that parents think they discuss sex with their kids much more than the kids say they do. So forget the old notion that one talk about the birds and bees is enough. Even group programs like the ones Melby and his sons attended are only a first step. "You can't attend one with your child and feel your work is done," says Melby. Communication must be ongoing.

New Security Updates for Ubuntu
Linux developers Canonical has released important security updates for the Ubuntu kernel, strongly recommending upgrades for releases 6.06 LTS, 7.10 and 8.04 LTS and corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Xubuntu.
The updates became necessary after the discovery of numerous security flaws in the Linux kernel. The direct-10 subsystem fails to validate certain structures, tmpfs implementation is faulty and the NFSv4 does not correctly handle file ACLs. All of these bugs are capable of causing the system to crash or result in a Denial of Service.
A detailed list of bugs is published on the Ubuntu Security Notice USN-659-1. The bug fixes can be applied using the Synaptic, Aptitude and other package-management tools, with a reboot necessary to complete the process.
Additional information is aimed at Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) users; with the update pocket disabled, the kernel upgrade will include an unavoidable ABI change and the kernel will be given a new version number. All third party kernel modules will have to be recompiled and reinstalled. Drivers from Ubuntu's own package "linux-restricted-modules" will be updated automatically.

1. Miami Heat
If you were expecting somebody other than Miami to be residing atop these rankings, you've been living in a dark cave in Mongolia for the past two seasons. They have one of the top coaches in the league masterminding an elite offensive and defensive unit. They also have the best player the league has seen since Jordan's mid-1990s heyday.
This summer was a simple case of consolidation. They lost Mike Miller via the amnesty clause in an effort to hold off the punitive luxury tax, though they did pull off two very shrewd business moves: inking Greg Oden to a veteran's minimum contract and Michael Beasley. Both are low-risk, high-reward additions. Oden hasn't played since December 5th 2009 as he has battled various knee injuries since being taken #1 overall in the 2007 draft and Beasley is a proven scorer with off-court issues which have held him back since he was picked second overall in 2008.
2. Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose is back, did you hear? He's come back and he's not happy with anybody who said he'd take time to shake off the rust. Two-thirds of the way through the preseason his PER sat at 39.43. LeBron James led the NBA with a PER of 27.65 last season. Jordan's highest ever was a touch higher, 29.71. Even Wilt Chamberlain's laughable 1962-63 season in which he averaged 44 points and 24 rebounds registered 31.8.
Of course, Rose won't play at this level all season, however should he keep playing at a superstar level as he has proven he still can, the Bulls are poised as likely the best-placed team to knock off the Heat in the playoffs. They added depth this summer, picking up Mike Dunleavy Jr and drafting Tony Snell, both able to spell Luol Deng and hopefully make his 40-minute nights a rarer occurrence. Jimmy Butler will start alongside Rose following his breakout year and holding his own against LeBron James in the playoffs.
Really though, their big addition was the return of Rose. Now if only Joakim Noah could stay healthy.

We are so close. Only a few more days before the Miami Dolphins and the rest of the league will choose their newest team additions. The number 19. It is all anyone in Miami has been talking about for the past three months or so. Who will the Dolphins take at 19, or will Dennis Hickey move them up (hopefully not) or down and pick from a new spot in the draft order? Only time will tell. Let's pretend Miami stays at 19. Here is a list of previous number 19's chose in the NFL Draft and where they are now.
2013 – Justin Pugh, OL Syracuse, New York Giants
Pugh was a bright spot on an otherwise horrible Giants O-Line. He is a solid starter and so far looks to be a good pick at 19th overall.
2012 – Shea McClellin, DE/OLB Boise State, Chicago Bears
He started his career with the Chicago Bears at DE opposite of Julius Peppers, but has recently been named the Bears new Sam linebacker. Has shown promise early in his career and Mike Mayock called him "one of the fastest risers in the past month," referring to his draft rank.
2011- Prince Amukamara, CB Nebraska, New York Giants
He was sidelined almost immediately after being drafted with a broken foot, but has 3 interceptions and 133 tackles in three seasons with the Giants, including a Super Bowl ring.
2010 – Sean Weatherspoon, OLB Missouri, Atlanta Falcons
He has been both a starter and backup on a mediocre Falcons Defense, and has 8 career sacks and 216 total tackles through 4 seasons in the league. Not bad numbers, but not great either.
2009 – Jeremy Maclin, WR Missouri, Philadelphia Eagles
Arguably the best 19th overall pick in the last five years, Maclin has 258 career receptions and 26 total TD's already. Because of DeSean Jackson's departure, he is now the number one receiver in Philly. A solid offensive weapon.
The past 19th overall draft picks are by no means studs in today's football world. Aside from Maclin (and possibly Pugh), none of these five guys have proven proven their value thus far. If I was Miami and Dennis Hickey, my top priority would be trading down and gaining more picks.

Last section of Al Salam Street expected to open in next few days
Opening last section will allow motorists to reach Corniche from Shaikh Zayed Bridge in 10 minutes
- Image Credit: Ahmed Kutty/Gulf News
- The last part of Al Salam Street tunnel gets ready to open for motorists in the next couple of days. This will drastically cut short the travel time between Shaikh Zayed Bridge and Corniche.
Abu Dhabi: Over the next few days, the last remaining closed sections of Al Salam Street in the capital are expected to be opened to vehicular traffic, municipal officials said on Monday.
These sections include a nearly four-kilometre, two-way tunnel stretching from Dalma Street to the Abu Dhabi Corniche and Mina Port, as well as a signalised intersection on Mina Street.
"Construction works on the tunnel have been completed, and when opened, motorists can travel from Shaikh Zayed Bridge to the Corniche in 10 minutes without having to stop at any traffic lights," Majed Al Kthairy, head of traffic services at the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City, told Gulf News. Though the exact date of opening the tunnel has not been given.
Al Salam Street was closed down in 2008 to facilitate the Dh5 billion upgrade project. When the project was announced, municipal authorities said the upgrade would double the previous capacity of the road to 12,000 vehicles per hour in both directions and enable motorists to travel from Shaikh Zayed Bridge to the Corniche in 10 minutes.
As construction works were completed, the thoroughfare was opened up in sections, with three other underpasses opened in 2010 and all surface roads made accessible in 2011. This year has also seen the greening of large sections of the expressway.
With regard to the last tunnel to be opened, Al Kthairy said motorists can enter it at Dalma Street near the Sea Palace intersection.
An exit from the tunnel leads to Hazza Bin Zayed Street. At the end, two lanes open up to the Corniche Road and three lanes lead to Mina Port.
"Like the rest of Al Salam Street, the tunnel is equipped with the latest traffic systems. For example, it has video vehicle detection to monitor how many vehicles are travelling through it. In addition, an advanced video incident detection camera can notify traffic authorities of any incident in the tunnel within a maximum timespan of 20 seconds," Al Kthairy said.
A 2.2-kilometre portion of the tunnel is enclosed, and this section has ventilation and fire alarm systems, along with designated emergency exits.
"We believe this is the first tunnel of such length and equipped with such advanced systems in the entire Middle East," the official added.
When it is opened at least 5,000 vehicles are expected to use the tunnel in the outbound direction from Abu Dhabi City.
"Motorists may even change their daily routes to make use of the urban expressway which minimises travel time, and we would have a better idea of how often the tunnel is being used a week after its opening," Al Kthairy added.

The Business Side of Writing: Part II by Bryan Powell
If you've done your homework and built a platform, you can have a great time talking to your friends and customers.
The question now is, "How do I get compensated? After all, isn't that the goal (at least somewhere down the list after being a blessing and having fun and getting the word out and creating a wave and all that stuff)?"
Before we discuss the compensation from the retail side, we need to understand the wholesale side. If you are published through a traditional publisher, you need to read and understand the commission split in your contract.
I know it's hard to read all that fine print, but you need to know it or you'll end up embarrassing yourself. The one thing you don't want to do is call your publisher and demand to know why your royalty check didn't come the day after the end of the first quarter.
Let's say you completely understand your contract (not). What next?
Know how much you paid for your books on the wholesale side. If you paid 40% of the retail price. That means you make a whopping 60% profit, not bad. It would be better if you could wheedle out of your publisher 35%. That's the negotiation part of this blog.
I begged my publisher, using all sort of spurious excuses such as: I'm a poor, starving artist, my kids will go hungry if I don't get a better discount, and I'll have to put my mother-in-law in a nursing home if you don't give me a better discount.
To my dismay, he didn't budge. I was crushed, but he did throw in an extra 25 books. Free I might add. Shew! That was a relief.
Retail Compensation
Some venues will charge a "consignment fee" and others won't.
- Let's start with the coffee shops.
- They are usually a free event.
- You make the sale, you keep the money. It's that simple.
- Keep a log of your sales and if yours is a sales tax state, be sure to charge the tax and record it in a log book.
If you don't charge your customers the sales tax, you'll have to pay it and that comes out of your profit margin.
- Next, are the independent or new and used book stores.
- I have been in many and they all do it differently.
- One store discounts my books 10%, but then pays me 60% of the retail price. They make a 30% profit and I make 20% (if I paid 40% to my publisher).
That's where profit margins are so important?
- Next are the Christian bookstores, Barnes and Nobles, Books-a-Million and other big and little box stores.
- If they try to charge you 50%, walk away. 40% is the best you can hope for, 35% is even better, but that's a rarity.
- Some bookstores have a "Local Author" corner. This is great because after a signing event, some people who don't purchase a book when you are there may come back.
- Being a good steward is vitally important.
- Never leave your books without making a record of how many books you've left, the price, the percentage split, how long they are to stay on their shelves, and when they send out checks. Be sure to get the manager's signature and make two copies.
- Make a follow-up call in three months to see how many books sold.
- Along with your log of venues, create a file of "Consignment Sheets" and look over it from time to time.
Remember, they are your books. No one cares for them as much as you.
- The next are Fairs, Festivals and Literary Events.
- Choose your events wisely.
- What's it going to cost to rent a 10×10 booth? If it costs more than $150.00, you are running the risk of losing money.
- If it's a large event, you may take a chance on it, but it could be a wash.
So What Have We Learned?
Writing a book is only half the fun. The other half is meeting people and signing (selling) your books to an adoring crowd of happy, smiling, anxious readers. But the other side, the Business Side of Writing, is your profit margin.
Don't back away from your price unless you have a good reason. A poor economy, they are your friends, and you've only sold one book today are not good enough reasons to cut your price.
You wrote it, your publisher set the price, so smile, and quote your price.
Now go sell your books!
Finding Another Person's Voice by Bryan Powell
Much has been written about finding your "voice." You can attend a writer's conference and learn how to reach deep within yourself, discover the real you and express it in cogent terms.
But how many of us have found someone else's voice? How many of us have been charged with the responsibility of expressing another person's thoughts without tainting them with our own?
Recently, I had the privilege of doing just that.
By divine appointment, I was given an older gentleman's journal. As I sat and read it and later interviewed him, I discovered he had a story to tell. He had a message to give us. Like a canary, held captive within a cage of flesh and bone, his spirit yearned to be set free. However, with his limited vocabulary and lack of skill, it languished, thinking it would never take flight. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to set it free. When that happened, his voice echoed throughout the pages of his story, and it rose to new heights.
The more I studied his life, the more I saw his motivation and message. I discovered his love and passion, his goals, his dreams and yes, his weaknesses and failures.
He taught me two important principles that guided his life. The first one; God can use a person for His glory no matter how unskilled that person is. This simple man took faith's baby steps and soon found manly strength to run the race, keep the faith, and win the crown.
The second guiding principle was a bit harder to find, yet it was there. He said, "Find people smarter than you to do the things you don't want to do and hire them."
That was his message and his motivation. He spent his life finding jewels in the rough and developing them, polishing them, getting them ready to take his place. And by doing so, he built people and a fortune.
From his humble beginning as a dirt farmer in central Georgia during the Depression years to the present day, he invested his life in helping people reach their potential.
The benefit to me was that I was privy to those formative years through his journal. I watched him grow to manhood; I grew with him, I hurt with him and even loved with him. I heard his voice, captured his thoughts, emotions, his heart. For those precious hours in which I labored over the text, I became this man. And so will you when you invest the time to get to know the person you are writing about.
So the next time you undertake a story: fiction or non-fiction, biography or historical, get to know your character. Plunge deep into the well-spring of creativity or reality and discover their voice. In so doing, you may find your own.
Twitter or Tweet? by Cynthia L. Simmons
I have to admit the name turned me off. Birds tweet, not something electronic, and I'm fond of birds. Nevertheless, a young man trained in publicity convinced me I should try. He said Twitter helps you expand your influence because it connects you with others who enjoy similar interests.
So, he taught me a few basics. Following someone means you get their messages. A tweet, or a short message, contains a hundred and forty characters. The sentence, 'I am cold' has ten characters; seven for letters, two for spaces, and one for a period.
First you open an account, and choose a name which has @ in front. I chose @CynthiaLSimmons, my writing name. Then you set up your home page with information on your writing and website. Make your profile interesting so people will want to get to know you. Once you complete that, you find people you know and follow them. Often they will follow you also.
In the first few weeks, I obtained a lot of followers. I also got a number of new people following me that I never heard of. When that happens, I check out their bio and website to see if I'm compatible with them. At times, I also read their blog. Notice who they follow and you often get introduced to new friends.
Some people put an app on their phone so they can keep track of tweets all day long. I'm not fond of my phone buzzing all the time, so I didn't do that. Instead, I check tweets twice a day, and send out my own message when I do. My coach told me not to send out too many tweets that endorse, since people want to get to know you. You can and should send private tweets, and I've also sent out a few questions to get a conversation started. Both are fun.
I waited until I felt comfortable to tackle the hashtag. A hashtag marks a particular event or subject, like a bookmark. Websites list the most popular tweets so you can use the appropriate one. Here's a couple I found: http://top-hashtags.com/instagram/ and www.hashtag.org. I started using a hashtag for my podcasts since someone can click on the hashtag and see them all. For CAG Spotlight, I took out most of the vowels to shorten the name. You'll find it under #CAGSPLT. Check out my newest podcast at #HEARTMtr.
Nowadays you'll find me at home counting characters while I devise a short note. Some days I condense Bible verses. I've gathered a following, so I guess its working. I feel a little like a bird. Tweet, tweet!
Getting Into Trouble with "Myself" by Diana J. Baker
One of my pet peeves when editing manuscripts is the incorrect use of the
pronoun myself and its friends, yourself, yourselves, himself, herself, themselves, and itself. It is amazing to me that words that have only three grammar rules regarding them are so often misused by writers. I would like to encourage everyone reading this article to take the time to learn the basic rules for using these pronouns and apply them. It might mean the difference between having one of your manuscripts accepted or rejected.
Rules of use for the pronoun myself:
1. Myself is used when the subject and object are the same. Examples:
a. I need to learn not to take myself so seriously.
b. I wish I could learn not to be critical of myself.
c. If I know what's good for me, I'll get myself out of here in a hurry!
2. Myself is used when you need to clarify that the subject has performed some action alone or unassisted. Examples:
a. I can't possibly pick that rock up by myself.
b. I cannot tell a lie; I ate the whole pie myself.
c. I am amazed that I raked the entire yard by myself in only two hours.
3. Myself is used when the pronoun acts to emphasize another word (It is then called and intensive pronoun.) Examples:
a. I myself would never want to get caught in that situation.
b. I hate to admit it, but I myself am the guilty party.
*Please note: The word myself and the other pronouns listed should never be used as the subject of a sentence and are not used correctly if used in any setting other than those covered by the three grammar rules above. Myself should never be substituted for the pronoun me.
Examples of the incorrect use of the word myself:
1. Used as the subject of a sentence: Incorrect: Two of my friends and myself found a lost puppy. Correct use: Two of my friends and I found a lost puppy.
2. Used in place of the pronoun me. Incorrect: My cousin Jeff went to the ball game with my son and myself. Correct use: My cousin Jeff went to the ball game with my son and me.
Rules for the use of the pronouns yourself, yourselves, herself, himself, themselves, and itself:
1. Used when the subject and object are the same. Examples:
a. You take yourself too seriously (singular). You take yourselves too seriously (plural).
b. She looked at herself critically.
c. He was stuck on himself.
d. It couldn't get itself out of the trap.
e. They thought more highly of themselves than they should.
2. Used when the subject has performed an action alone or unassisted. Examples:
a. You need to study by yourself.
b. She did all of the decorating herself.
c. He taught the lesson himself.
d. The children went to the playground all by themselves.
e. The puppy had gotten itself lost.
3. Used when the pronoun acts to emphasize another word. Examples:
a. John himself doesn't know how he broke his fishing rod.
b. My reputation itself was at risk.
c. We ourselves expected to be rescued.
Write right and get your work accepted and published!
Tweet, Link, Pin & Like by Frieda Dixon
Albert Einstein once said: "The same thinking that has led you to where you are is not going to lead you to where you want to go." He was a brilliant man, never satisfied with the scientific status quo. His original thinking enabled him to discover the Theory of Relativity.
For some reason, his quote strikes a chord with me. I'm challenged to step out of my comfort zone and ask some questions. What is my present way of thinking? Stick with the status quo, don't rock the boat, and remain in my comfort zone. What should be my new way of thinking? Challenge the status quo, shake things up, stay open to new ideas. The first way of thinking is very comfortable and the second quite scary.
A recent article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution lifestyle section, tells about a retirement community that is teaching its 80 and 90-year-old residents how to use computers. A 71-year-old man teaches the students how to use email and Google for information. A group of retirees called the "Geezer Squad" provides in-between class support. I predict those folks will remain mentally sharp for a long time.
For me, becoming proficient with social media requires a whole new way of thinking. I much prefer talking with folks or writing letters and emails. But I have to think differently to learn the social media language, connect with family and friends, and increase my visibility as an author and blogger. I've become familiar enough with Facebook to read and "Like." I recently joined LinkedIn and several writing groups that I am navigating by trial and error. I have several requests to "Tweet" and join Twitter, so that it next on my list. To "Pin" or not to "Pin" is another issue to resolve. When will I have time to write?
We can't be an influence on the younger generation unless we learn to speak their language, and dare I say, "Like" their music – at least some of it!! Jesus challenged his followers to think in a new way and not be bound by the legalism of the past. For all of us, a new way of thinking is the key to a happier life.
Writing Short Stories by Cynthia L. Simmons
How would you like to be able to say that you're an award winning author? It's a great testament to your writing ability. This year CAG offers a nonfiction article contest and a short story contest at our Coffee & Quill mini-conference.
How do you write a short story? First you need an idea. You might take your idea from something that happened to you or something you wish for. Either way, you must develop a plot, which is a sequence of events in which the characters experience a serious problem.
Start by introducing your characters. For instance, you could have an overworked mother and an active toddler. Describe them a little so your audience gets interested and then present a problem. Show just how frazzled mom is in light of the child's energy.
Next add rising action. Make something happen that creates tension. Your mom could get a phone call from an old friend that absorbs her attention. While she talks, the curious child waddles out of the room exploring. Even the thought makes my skin prickle.
Make sure your level of anxiety rises as you relate each event in the story. Your readers will yawn and wander off if your toddler climbs into his crib. Should your toddler probe an electrical outlet with his fingers and then discover a nail file, your readers wouldn't put the story down. Think of ideas to keep tension rising.
The climax of the story will be the moment of highest tension. For instance, imagine a damp nail file moving closer to the outlet. Hearts will be pounding.
The resolution comes at the end of the story when you resolve the problem. Your mother could scream and dash into the room, pulling the child away just in time.
Here's a sample story using my illustration:
Unable to Rest
Bridget sank onto the bench in the kitchen and sat Benjamin down. Her back ached, and her legs wobbled like jelly. All afternoon she had shopped with her sister for wedding clothes. It was the least she could do since their mom died several years ago. A girl shouldn't do that alone.
Her son's energy got the better of them both. If only her two-year-old couldn't move so fast and so constantly.
"Woo-toot. TOOT. TOOT." Benjamin held up a pretend pipe to his mouth as he marched about the kitchen.
His mother winced and reached for him. "Not so loud, son."
He side stepped her arms and headed for the stool, which stood by the cabinet. "Wanna cookie."
"No. No cookies before dinner. Benjamin Charles Fox, stop climbing now." She hauled her body up to grab the squirming child off the counter top. "You're going to fall."
Once back on the floor, the youngster ran in circles flapping his arms. "I be a bird, momma."
"What a nice bird you are." She ran a hand along her neck and angled her head to release tight muscles.
The phone rang, and Bridget grabbed it. "Sophie! I haven't heard from you in ages. Sh-Sh. Mommie's on the phone talking. Quiet, Benjamin!"
The energetic child barely escaped her grasp. But the room grew quiet in his absence.
"What? You're dating someone?" She leaned against the cabinets. "Wonderful. And you said you could never marry. Pshaw! I knew that was silly. Tell me what he's like."
Ten minutes later she put down the phone and glanced about. Her heart slammed against her chest. "Benjamin?"
Her eyes darted under the table, by back door. Nothing. She hurried into the living room and her whole chest threatened to explode. There, by the couch, sat Benjamin. He held a nail file in his mouth and pulled it out, as if showing it to her. It was dripping with saliva. He leaned forward and slammed it on an electrical outlet, getting closer and closer to the pair of holes she knew carried electrical current.
"No! Don't!"
Her legs flew across the floor toward him. She grabbed his body and pulled him away, just before he got the file into the outlet.
He screamed.
Her heart racing, she collapsed on the floor, clutching her son, who wailed in protest. 'No, no! Never touch those. They will burn. Bad."
She closed her eyes and sang softly in his ear. How could he have gotten into trouble so fast? I can't rest for a moment.
In summary, as you prepare to write, be sure to add the elements of a story: introduction, problem, rising action, climax, resolution.

The 2012 world champions have only just dealt with speculation they could soon lose the three-time consecutive title winner and German to Ferrari. But the latest reports, in the pages of the Osterreich tabloid and citing Red Bull mogul Dietrich Mateschitz, say Vettel has been convinced to extend his current deal with a huge pay rise. The report said Vettel's current retainer of $14 million per season will increase to a whopping $36 million, adding that the contracts of chiefs Christian Horner and Adrian Newey have also been extended. "Total nonsense!" Dr Helmut Marko told Germany's Sport Bild on Wednesday. "I don't even know the journalists who wrote it, or the news portal. Vettel's contract is to 2014, full stop." Subbed by AJN.

School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
I head back to school this week, two days in which to earn my Food Hygiene for Restaurants diploma. I was going to take the Permis d'Exploitation pour License IV course, which allows one to sell alcohol in a hotel, bar or restaurant, which I thought would be great fun, but as the Employment Agency at which JP is registered would cover the costs if JP took it, I was shuffled off to food hygiene. Well, I will be the one making the jams, cakes and breads served to hotel guests, so it is only fair. And school starts Monday.

here's a crazy idea…. actually give something back.
Instead of all the taking:
taking the ceremonies, the "spirituality",
taking the peyote, the drags, the tobacco,
taking the regalia, the head dresses,
taking the drums, the music, the dances,
taking the feathers, the dream catchers,
taking the sweat lodges, the spirit animals,
taking the land, the culture, the language…
maybe try giving something back?
Restore the land? water rights? Free some political prisoners….
Stop a few human right violations…. you know… stuff like that.
Here's a start for you:

Now, saying a properly reason we could point that it is an intended effect because if you want to sell a story you must achieve some level of identification with the audience; in other words, you have to meke the audience like some of your characters by giving them faults or qualities that the audience recognize on it-self or that are wanted.
It's a general rule that humans always want something and they like (or envy) people who has got it.
It's intersting to note that it is a reflex ot the times we're living: if certain chareacter is very popular it means that certain population group see it's qualities as own or wanted (and if it is mostly admiration, it tell us too how disappointed or unsatisfied is population group).

Toots and The Maytals - Pressure Drop
Mhmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm
Tzaddi Esguerra 2013
Three key pieces from my first mini art series, Summers Ago. The collection took shape from a sudden nostalgia for deadbeat summers in front of the TV as a child when I used to fantasize about being a Discovery wildlife photographer.
We used to keep this encyclopedia set (another thing I rather miss as well) in a rickety cabinet that I was off limits to because I was deathly allergic. I remember always flipping to the same pages that had illustrations of the entire dog breed and drawings of odd looking critters like the duck-billed platypus that I marked every time I had an excuse to hit the books. I may have had a little influence on my illustration style for this series from there.
Also incorporated into the pieces are my personal collection of pressed flowers and quite possibly, shyly mature and porridgy sentiments from the more recent summers.
Available on Etsy.
To mark the day (technically, I'm on an infinite days off but today's labor day which makes today a day off within a day off so it must be special).
In case I suddenly won't feel like posting photos tomorrow or ever. It doesn't look much like Dodiongan Falls but that's how it looks from directly below.
I was going through my e-mails to look for a calling card. I'm updating my resume for this job fair I have to attend tomorrow. Then I find this when I accidentally clicked on the Heima blog link:
Heima Internship
Posted by: Rossy Yabut Rojales (yaaay!)
Apr 2, 2013
That was a year ago already and I still haven't talked about it here. I wanted to share the experience in adequate detail because I think it needs it. It's close to exactly a year ago when I had been scandalously bold in flying to manila looking for Cubao X and LRI to hand in my resume. It was quite embarrassing getting an interview on your employer's birthday
But yay, they took me in (I think I had points for mileage). They couldn't possibly send me away specially not on the eve of my birthday. haha.
Man. Good times. You guys go give it a go, you!
In other news, our gram is now hitched to the ventilator. She can now handle the pressure and we hope should be getting better. They now only allow one person at a time in the unit to watch her. I really do hope things get easier for her. Even if that means it goes either way.
Tzaddi Esguerra 2012
Flowers from some of the cities I've been this summer. I hadn't taken my camera with me in most trips so I pressed little keepsakes between pages of books I've been reading.
i. Cebu, Cebu - because they remind me much of childhood in Cebu
ii. Dapitan, Zamboanga - picked somewhere along the baywalk from the restaurant to the resort.
iii. San Pablo, Laguna from the 3.7 km stroll around Sampaloc lake plus trekking
iv. Makati, Manila - after talking the entire night with a complete stranger at Heima's staff house and walking for coffee in the morning
v. Dipolog, Zamboanga - lunch at the port while waiting for the ferry
vi. Quezon, Manila - a little something I picked up from the streets I used to walk everyday to class.
vii. Intramuros, Manila - there were lovers everywhere while I waited for friends to arrive so I pressed the nearest flower inside my book, trying to look poetic and all.
viii. Dumaguete, Negros - while asking for directions from a vendor
ix. XXXXX
x. XXXXX
xi. XXXXX
xii. Tagaytay, Cavite - outside Bag of Beans, after the loveliest coffee I've ever had. Not for the roast but the view that came with it.
All that's left of the sun-soaked months of this year.
El Tejado
I spent the entire day sprawled on the bed, too weak to even read a book or keep my eyes on the screen from some medicine I took. Throwing myself into the pool in as many ways I could think of yesterday might have made me a little wrong in the brain. The many days before that had taken its toll as well.
My friends came over the later half of the afternoon and we spent the rest of today at my secret, but not really, secret spot traipsing along the ledges. It's just three floors up but far enough from the rest of the world for a trio of loons to enjoy a little pure unadulterated exchange of drunken thoughts. I realized I hadn't been laughing quite enough the past month after just a night reunited.
I just found this photo of the entire Heima team on twitter and it made me feel all schmaltzy all of a sudden. Dang.
In One or Two Weeks Time
Patience, young padawan.
Dad used to take a lot of stupid photos of us like this when we were little. So I guess that was what I was going for when I found him like this early in the morning by tita's outdoor kitchen.
And the lovers they run from dawn til dusk
For love is plenty as nectarines
Purple haze, summer musk
of sweat and honey and tattered jeans
Well, Ain't It Sunny
April 3, 2012
Picked some summer blooms on my way home from picking up my ukulele over at fourhappypeas'. Thinking of tucking as many flowers inside my sketchbooks this summer. Ok, that sounded gay.
Neon Indian - Deadbeat Summer
Tzaddi Esguerra 2012
Before any more of you guys get any ideas about how "cool" I am for having a surfboard.
Well. Sorry to disappoint but I am not. I think I'm not even sorry. haha. This is not mine. A friend just lent me this. And yesterday he had me had me draw things on it to get back together with my other friend. It just so happens that I've yet to prepare this for them for tomorrow because I have to leave town so it's lying on my bed while I pack. I don't surf.
But I'm going to have a blast this summerrrrr! Mohohohoho

Welcome to my website. Here you'll find quality photographs of natural places, parks, and city scenes in San Francisco, California, as well as some of the unique events that take place there. For your convenience, images are grouped in galleries by type, though some may appear in more than one gallery; a heron might appear in nature and reflections as well as bird life, for example.
Once you find an image you like, you can choose prints in a variety of sizes and paper types, with quality matting and framing in a variety of colors; or choose canvas, acrylic, or metal prints. Fine Art America will fulfill and ship your order quickly, and they offer a 30-day return policy if anything turns out to be not to your liking.
About myself, I started taking pictures as a child, back in the film days. I learned on my own and graduated to newer cameras over the years, going digital in about 2007. I've taken classes from San Francisco's city college art campus, and have exhibited there and at art galleries in the North Beach area of the city.
If you like unique photos of wildlife and park and city settings, I hope you'll take some time to browse the galleries for something that catches your eye. Quality photographs are always collectable and they make good gifts for birthdays, holidays, or other special occasions. The images here are also available as greeting cards and iPhone cases.

Much has been made lately of whether or not the iPad is a PC or not and should be counted as such. To me, the answer is obvious (of course it is). And, if the iPad can be counted among that number, then the iPhone surely should be a worthy and accepted candidate as well.
In my recent emergency trip this past week (brief update: My Dad is not out of the woods but the path ahead is a clear one), my iPhone 4 became my most used and primary computer for many reasons. This despite the fact I had both my iPad and MacBook Air with me and close at hand. It was the one best fitted to almost every situation I found myself in. Unobtrusive, agile, and the one with a constant and reliable internet connection.
Here are just a few of the things I used it for:
Searching for and booking flights using Hipmunk.
Finding and reserving a hotel using the Priceline app.
Using Orbitz in Mobile Safari to check car rental rates so that I had proper reference for negotiating the price I wanted once I got to the counter (ended up with a Ford Escape for $20 a day).
Using the heck out of Maps.app to find my way around.
I read a book in the Kindle.app (It's a really great book by the way. Highly recommended).
Took lots of notes with Simplenote.
Found the closest Starbucks and Chipotle with their respective apps.
Looked up tons of medical terms and procedures with Mobile Safari.
Showed off the latest family and vacation photos and videos to my Dad, nurses, and doctors.
It was my parking meter timer and alarm clock.
It was my tip calculator.
Captured tasks in OmniFocus.
Scheduled appointments in Agenda.
Started a few draft posts in PlainText (where I'm writing this now). Completed one and published it here. In fact, I write most things less than 1000 words these days on my iPhone, in landscape, using my thumbs and the onscreen keyboard. I'm pretty sure I'll be hospitalized for this eventually. The only question being, "Which ward?"
Used FaceTime to talk to and see my wife and little girl (whom I missed greatly).
Updated, communicated, and otherwise stayed in touch via phone, email, and Twitter.
This is all just to say that of all of the computers at my disposal, the iPhone was the most personal and therefore the one most often used.
