Wow. This book was incredible. I have a serious book hangover now.
REVIEW ON BLOG: http://chaibooks.blogspot.ca/2014/07/review-before-i-fall.html
Hm. What a roller-coaster YA read!
The Characters? Honestly? I hated them. Especially, but not exclusively, in the beginning portion of the novel. I did not relate nor did I find any sort of remorse for these characters. I just got angry at the shallow, horrible, stereotypical popular high school girl protagonists and her similar friends.
They were also not too believable. I am a girl in high-school, and I've dealt with my fair share of mean girls. The blatant abuse and cruelty that Lindsay and the others committed is just not believable and it made it angry. Half of a school screaming "PHYSCO" at one girl who peed her pants is something out of a bad Teen Disney movie (I know that's not why they were screaming physco but that's essentially why she was ostracized in the first place). Not good.
HOWEVER, as the story progressed the characters did improve albeit only slightly. We got to see more dimensions from some characters and back stories, ect. This did help me care about the story more, but this was towards the end. For the majority of the book, I was frustrated at the characters. I loved Kent, hated Rob, hated hated HATED Lindsay, ect.
The Setting? Typical high school in a small town. The names for some of the areas in the high school were super relate-able and funny. For example, there's always that one restroom that no one goes to, and there's an area that is "designated" for smokers. I really did love Kent's house and it's descriptors.
The Plot? It was fairly slow and I rolled my eyes at some of the absolute mundane problems that high school girls often encounter. However, again, as the storyline progressed and the characters gained some depth, the plot did as well. It was super interesting to see how the series of circumstances changed. I genuinely felt a sense of loss every time the day rewound. I quite enjoyed the ended, I felt it was necessary for someone to die, and I was glad it ended that way.
Overall? I didn't really know what to expect before reading. Before I Fall isn't the greatest young adult novel I've read, but it was unique and stands out from other YA reads. While I personally was frustrated with the mostly one-dimensional characters and the fairly teeny bopper esque plot line, I was intrigued with the novel. I ended up reading this in one day. It's a very easy read despite it's bigger size.
Edgy and real. A great book to be on the TTT nominee list.
I've been looking forward to reading this for quite some time because I kept seeing this novel all over tumblr. Well, I guess it's fair to say that I wasn't exactly surprised, since my taste sadly usually differs from what you guys like.
Rating: 3/5 - was ok, I guess.
What it's about: Before I Fall tells the story of Samantha Kingston, a high school student that dies on Feburary 12th. The catch? She wakes up the next morning as if nothing happened and nobody remembers the events of the previous day. This repeats six times, and Samantha has to find a way to prevent her own death and get out of the vicious circle.
Writing 4/5
You can tell immedtialey that this is Lauren Oliver's first novel. Of course, for a first novel this is not bad and also really admirable that she made it to a publication. Given that she's a Creative Writing MFA graduate I'd lose hope in humanity if her writing was bad. Funny though, how she made exactly the same mistakes many authors make with their first novels, including myself. The writing may be very solid and clear, and not full of unnecessary metaphors (looking at you Tahereh Mafi), but surprise, good writing is not everything if you want to write a quality novel.
Characters 1/5
This is Lauren Oliver's biggest problem. The characters are completely irrelevant. The four friends Lindsey, Elody, Ally and Samantha are nothing but shells. Especially Elody and Ally are so replacable that I didn't get that they were even seperate people. (This is why you shouldn't give all your characters names that end on the same flipping letter!)
Samantha is nothing but annoying and her character development makes absolutely no sense. She's a teenager after all but by the end of the novel she suddenly had some kind of epiphany and blurted out Dalai-Lama-esque wisdom 24/7, when a day earlier she was obsessed with revenge and making out with every guy that showed remote interest in her. Don't get me started on the unnecessary squeezed in romance plot!
Plot 2/5
What plot? So Lauren Oliver had the idea to write Groundhog Day as an alternate High School universe novel. Fair enough. But that's it, there's nothing else happening besides Samantha acting as if 4 days of afterlife made her the allknowing queen of teenagers. Sorry, but no. Also she doesn't solve the situation and tell us why exactly this happened to our heroine, which one of my biggest book pet peeves.The only thing that kept me going was the hope for a great twist ending. Which obviousy never came, else I wouldn't be so angry.
Overall: Do I recommend?
Eh. I'm not so stoked on this. I know not everyone is as critical as I am and many of you enjoyed it. If you just want to lean back, dive in and turn your brain off, it's alright. I love, love, love Lauren Oliver's writing style. It's so clean and to the point, she just gets the story down. Love that. But that's about all I love about Before I Fall. No recommendation for you. Frowny face.
More book-related stuff on my blog. www.bookavid.tumblr.com
This book was a masterpiece.
Not just because I related to several different aspects of the story, not just because it was moving and the strongest, most impactful book I've ever read. Not just because the writing was beautiful, flawless. In spite of the ending, when I avoid endings like this at all costs.
I hate how it ended. I wish, I wish, I wish... But it was perfect, done exactly the way it had to be, even if it hurts, even when it feels senseless.
It was a masterpiece.
Although somewhat predictable, the plot drives forward and teens will want to see where Sam's choices lead.

Lower-priced casual dinner for group of tourists...
as a replacement for Herbsaint.
Is there anything in a lower price range (e.g., entrees topping off at $15-20) that is nice and casual but doesn't make me pine all night for Herbsaint's pork belly which I've read so much about?
We're a group of friends from all over the country coming to New Orleans for the first time. I had pitched a dinner at Herbsaint during our short stay, but the probability of this plan is looking bleaker so I'm fishing for a backup. I'd like to have a short list of restaurants just as delicious and well-received, but at a lower price point. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
(My current long list of food for the trip consists of very inexpensive eats and upscale casual, but little in between)
Unfortunately, I would say there is little in between inexpensive and upscale when it comes to local fare. I would say Mandina's or Jacques Imo's are a good bet. Are they as good as Herbsaint? No way, but I would put Herbsaint in NOLA's highest price point - on par with commander's, brigtsen's, cuvee, etc. Taking it down a price point also takes the food down a notch.
re: N.O.Food
I tend to agree with you. Cochon is a "notch" down, price-point wise, and is still very good. Do not know if it would fit within the offered budget.
Were I a tourist, on my first trip to NOLA, I'd take out a second-mortgage, but that's just me.
Hope others, who are still local, can chime in with some recs.
The Delachaise has upscale food at a lower price but it is a bar and smoking is allowed. You'd have to go when they open at 6 to avoid a loud, smoky restaurant.
How about a neighborhood restaurant like Mandina's, Liuzza's, Ye Olde College Inn, R&O's, etc? Down a bit on the price scale, but still very much a part of our local culinary landscape. All of these choices will require a car or a cab.
Liuzza's Restaurant & Bar
3636 Bienville St, New Orleans, LA 70119
Liuzza's By the Track
1518 N Lopez St, New Orleans, LA 70119
Mandina's Restaurant
3800 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70119
Ye Olde College Inn
3000 S Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA 70118
R & O Restaurant
216 Metairie Hammond Hwy, Metairie, LA
re: edible complex
Good calls, but I think OP wants local cuisine. You're right though. When we want a mid priced meal, we usually turn to "foreign" - for lack of a better term - food. Lola's, Jamila's, Thai, Vietnamese, etc. Dante's is a good idea and maybe Matt n' Naddie's would work also.
re: N.O.Food
my last meal for 2 at Mat & Naddie's was close to $200! the lunch buffet is $10pp; I haven't been, but have heard good things.
I'm also hearing good things about:
Chef's Corner. 710 S. Carrollton Ave. 504-865-0090
You might also try Il Posto, J'Anita's, Stein's Deli, St. James Cheese Company, Ignatius Eatery, Crabby Jack's, Franky and Johnny's, Parkway Bakery, Two Sisters Kitchen, Li'l Dizzy's Cafe (on Poydras), or take the Canal St. ferry across the river and walk the 1/2 block to Dry Dock Cafe (it is worth it for the ride and view of the city)
Or Thai.
Some restaurants have three course dinner specials Palace Cafe comes to mind, but it might be $25.
I think Jacques-Imo's would be your best bet, and they take reservations for parties of 5 or more.
Otherwise, I would consider Eat New Orleans on Dumaine. Its also BYOB, which really helps the bottom line.
re: pilaf
Thanks all!!
N.O.Food is right, I'm trying to keep our dining to local cuisine as our party has people from Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, among others. But there certainly is no lack of good eats in New Orleans!! I'm still crossing my fingers for Herbsaint but these suggestions will keep me busy and help churn out a 2nd option.
Though I didn't find a recent menu for Jacques-Imo, hopefully that will be affordable enough for the group... EAT looks to be a good option too. I wish Mandina's accepted credit cards! Time to search through the chowhound threads for these places. And call Brigtsen's to make a reservation (on a very hard-earned consensus). ;)
re: gsmoose
ask if they are doing their weeknight 3 course special; seem to remember it was $25 last year for their "early bird" dinner. the timing of that special was generous though, but be sure to ask about the times.
Jacques Imo's does not have their menu posted on their website right now. But most meals range from $15 to $22 and include two "healthy" portions of sides. Apps run about $5 to $10. You also get some yummy cornbread muffins and usually a fried oyster on a spinach between courses.
With NOLA cuisine, it has its roots in just about everything. Post-K has seen some great ethnic influences on the local scene. Even at what may be thought to be "foreign" restaurants, you will likely find "local" dishes and "local" ingredients and will experience something perhaps not found elsewhere but unique to NOLA. That's the beauty of this gumbeaux!
re: edible complex
LOL Brigtsen's early bird. Nonexistent post K. The pre K was a bargain...3 courses $16, available before 6:30 Tues.-Thur.
re: JazzyB
remember seeing it advertised since the "thing"...usually in the summer time.
many other restaurants are starting their summer menus to encourage dining in the slower months.
re: pilaf
Are you coming to sample our best or our mediocre? Jacques Imos is only cheap if all you order is an entree. The bill adds up quickly with apps. and drinks. Sure the portions are large and you'll probably have leftovers, but when all is said and done, you've spent almost what you would have at Herbsaint and not gotten anywhere near the quality. If you're on a budget, skip the drinks and share the apps. If you want good food, Jacques ain't it.
re: JazzyB
In general, we're more of the entree-only-no-drinks type. ;) So my first inclination is to look at the prices of entrees. Spending more than $20 on a meal is a rarity for most of us in the group... but I am indeed looking for great food in New Orleans so I'm trying to suck it up when it comes to my wallet. :P
The good news is I think we're going to Herbsaint! Thanks to all again for the suggestions... they'll be useful for people in a similar situation.
re: gsmoose
Good call. Most of the recs above aren't anywhere near Herbsaint. There's some good recs for second/third tier restaurants, but Herbsaint will be better. And just so you know, I wouldn't consider Herbsaint "casual" dining.
re: N.O.Food
Re: casual dining, I wouldn't go to Herbsaint in shorts and a T but khakis/jeans and a polo will do.
re: gsmoose
Glad you talked the crew into doing Herbsaint. Can't wait to read your reviews.
re: Bill Hunt
Cannot go wrong with Herbsaint. Donald's gumbo rocks. Enjoy
You should try LUKE at 333 St. Charles Ave.
The menu is awesome! and the entrees are very reasonable. They brew their own beers and have a fantastic seafood selection.
Check the SUMMER MENUS topic on this board. Pick up a free weekly Gambit and check for rest. summer specials. Redfish Grill and Palace Cafe may be just what you're looking for.
Speaking as a tourist who recently coordinated the dining efforts for a group of friend in NOLA, I would just say that Herbsaint was delicious, but our service experience was so terrible that it ruined the whole dining experience. I'm hoping this was an isolated incident, but it was disappointing that our big expensive meal was overshadowed by bad management.
On the other hand Cafe Atchafalaya isn't as expensive, it's in a beautiful location, and the food is delicious and I think (natives will correct me) a nice interpretation of NOLA cuisine (creole in particular). Oh, and our service was excellent!
re: ABgBdWlf
If you're bringing a New Yorker and a Philadelphian, skip Adopho's...they get MUCH better Italian at home.

Ford's US sales up 2 percent in December
Thursday - 1/3/2013, 9:44am EST
DETROIT (AP) - Ford Motor Co. says its U.S. sales rose 2 percent in December, as strong sales of small cars made up for weak truck sales.
Sales of the Focus small car rose 58 percent from last December, while the Fiesta subcompact was up 53 percent. F-Series pickup truck sales were flat compared with last December. Sales of the new Ford Escape small SUV, which has been hit with several recalls, fell 21 percent.
Ford's U.S. sales were up 5 percent overall this year. Truck sales rose just 2 percent, but Ford saw higher increases for cars and SUVs like the Ford Explorer.
Sales of Ford's luxury Lincoln brand fell 4 percent as the company began a multi-year makeover of the brand.

- Petitioned U.S. House of Representatives
This petition was delivered to:
Tell Congress to Hold Miers and Bolten in Contempt!
Petition by
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
Within the coming weeks, the House is expected to consider contempt resolutions against former White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten and former White House counsel Harriet Miers. Asserting executive privilege, President Bush ordered his aides to ignore congressional subpoenas seeking information on the U.S. attorneys firing scandal. Tell Congress to hold the administration accountable!
The more the White House hides, obstructs, and obfuscates the truth about the U.S. attorney scandal, the clearer it is that Congress must take a stand for constitutional checks and balances and the principle that in America no one, not even the president, is above the law. Will you sign the petition calling on your Members of Congress to reject the president's bogus claims of executive privilege? Congress has the constitutional power to hold this president accountable, and it's time to use it!
U.S. House of Representatives
I urge you to reject the Bush Administration's sweeping claims of executive privilege and to take whatever steps are necessary to enforce these subpoenas, including supporting a resolution holding White House officials who have ignored subpoenas in contempt.
[Your name]

A long time ago, in the underground realm, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamt of the human world. She dreamt of blue skies, soft breeze and sunshine. One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the brightness blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory. She forgot who she was, and where she came from. Her body suffered cold, sickness and pain. Eventually she died. However, her father, the King, always knew that the Princess' soul would return, perhaps in another body, in another place, at another time. And he would wait for her, until he drew his last breath, until the world stopped turning…

And to make it even more affordable, beginning in January 2014, Family Y Youth Sports are FREE (additional uniform fee) for our Metro Family Members. That means all the kids in the family can play and learn in our year-round youth sports programs, encouraging healthy family time and growing strong kids. Parents can get involved, too, as volunteer coaches.

Holy Moly
Its 10:51 on Monday night and I haven't been able to shake how much I miss Rachel since I shipped her off on the van yesterday afternoon at 4:00pm. I pushed for her to go to this school (she has never wanted to leave home) and now I can't stop missing her.
I have some big decisions to make. I have an appointment tomorrow with the Pediatrician on staff at her new school to go over the MOLST form. Grab a box of tissues and imagine filling it out for your formerly healthy baby girl:
I want to pick her up and bring her home. The last day has been the hardest since she left. I left a voicemail for school at 7:20 tonight for her to call me but no luck. I will definitely be bumping into her tomorrow. She drives me crazy but I love the shit out of her. I usually get upset and just want my healthy daughter back but the last 48 hours has kind of been me realizing that I will take any version of her because sooner rather than later there will be NO version of her to have back.
This disease is relentless.
.Read More
Rachel's new school is full of people just like me and just like you with feelings, hopes, laughs and tears. Young people who have been admitted to the school because they were born with (most) a disability or acquired one along the way like my Rachel. I know that some of the kids there will probably attend the school until age 22 and will transition into the mainstream world. I also know that due to privacy the staff is unable to divulge medical information to the other children about Rachel or her fate. When I am visiting, different kids will strike up a conversation and I have started to tell them things about Rachel. That she was totally normal and healthy, reminding them (especially the boys) that she is only 13, that she is blind.
Last night I told two of the other students that Rachel is terminal and the name of her disease (Batten Disease) so that they could read more about Rachel.
There is a boy at her school who is truly amazing. He can maneuver his iPad with his feet faster than I can with my fingers. He took a liking to Rachel over the summer when she was in summer camp at her new school and I have reminded him, specifically, that she is only 13 and a MINOR. Last night at the theme dinner I told him about her disease and that she is terminal. I also told him about her website that you are reading right now.
I think its only fair that the kids who care about her know that the Rachel you see today is not the Rachel that will be in a few years (and not the Rachel that I knew when a few years ago). It is heartbreaking, but only fair to let the other students who are cognitively capable of grasping her disease know what is to come.
Reality sucks but I'd rather be a realist. Living an honest, pragmatic life has made living with this stupid disease much more bearable for me. The picture is from dinner last night. I had to threaten her to get a smile because she was so busy letting me stuff her face with mashed potatoes, gravy and chicken. <3Read More
First Full Week
Rachel has finished her first full week at school and is sitting in her lazy boy chair listening to Danny Phantom. She likes a TV show marathon (who doesn't?). She definitely likes school but a large portion of her hates it because she misses the familiarity of knowing where things are, knowing who the people are, being aware of her surroundings. As she has more time under her belt and the disease takes more of her mind away, I feel confident that she will learn to love Mass Hospital School as much as possible.
I feel guilty that I have enjoyed the break from her and the care of her. I am actually looking forward to later today when the van picks her and her stuff up for another week. The thought of all of this killed me but the physical care of her and missing out on so many things because of not being able to go anywhere combined with the depression of staying home all the time was really killing me.
I love my Rachel and I feel that this place will give her better care than I am able to now. Bathing her is becoming so unsafe for her because she doesn't have the quadricep strength to push herself up safely and consistently. I have really enjoyed spending time with my other kids without the incessant noise and the new freedom to go places and do things.
I feel good about my choice to send her to the new residential school. Guilty but very good. Batten Disease sucks but life does go on for the rest of us and I have to keep that in mind while making sure she is well taken care of. I love my Rachel. <3
Here is a picture of our mid-week visit last week with her sister Juliebean. Granny came as well and Rachel loved seeing us. If you want to visit her send me an email at email@example.com and I will let them know to expect you. Visiting hours is 4-8pm Monday – Thursday.
Now if we could just get this horrible breakthrough bleeding that has arrived two weekends in a row under control, that would be great!!!!!

Rachel is at her new school
I've posted my feelings on my personal website which you can read here but I just wanted to write that Rachel completed her first week at Massachusetts Hospital School. Tuesday was a long admission process and she stayed at school until Friday night. The school receives students (patients) on Sunday afternoon and sends the kids home on Friday afternoon. The activities they offer to their student population cannot be compared at any other facility that I have ever heard of (swimming, horseback riding, water sports, bowling, cooking, music, PT, OT, ST, TVI and the list goes on… WOW!). Over 90% of students are in wheelchairs and Rachel attended summer camp at the school.
The first week was hard on Rachel but Meredith and I visited her Thursday night for the monthly themed dinner (event) to check up on her and help her feel more grounded. As difficult as it was on her with her blindness and dementia, she did not get upset when I put her on the van today (Sunday) to return to school.
Rachel has a 1:1 person with her from the start of school until 9pm and it turns out that Gina (her 1:1 from public school) has been assigned to work with Rachel during the school week!! This made for a much easier transition on Rachel (and me).
This is not the best picture but I took it of her on Thursday night after I had tucked her into bed. She doesn't have a roomate (yet) and is quite pleased that the TV in her room has Sprouts (her favorite channel).
Here is Rachel's first full week at school. <3

Jeans for Genes – Rare Disease Day!!
Friends from all over the country wore their jeans to support Rachel for National Rare Disease Day. The idea is that you wear jeans to show support of rare genetic diseases because the disease is in our genes. I asked all of my friends and family (well, any of them on facebook) to tell at least 5 people about Batten Disease and my Rachel. Here are the ladies and gents who wore jeans for genes!

I hate this disease
My apologies for not updating this website in months. I've either posted bits and pieces about how things are going on facebook or I have completely fallen off the face of the earth. Some days I would really like to just disappear and not have to watch as this disease slowly kills my daughter. So much of who Rachel is gone but I saw a glimpse of my "old" daughter today.
Tami (the lady who worked with Rachel on a 1 to 1 basis in elementary school) stopped by with her beautiful daughter Becca today and Rachel was bringing up things that we had forgotten. Rachel speech is terrible, her extremities are always freezing yet she lacks the sensation of them being cold and she can barely walk (and for those who are late to this blog she is also completely blind yet born totally healthy). She has become a danger to herself and those who work with her because she is so unsteady on her feet. If 190 pounds comes crashing down due to a motor planning or balance faltering moment, she can easily break a leg (and bleed out internally (hypovolemia)).
This is not a pretty picture and I will be completely honest (something I am known for, they tell me):
I have tapped out.
Rachel, my beautiful Rachel, will be starting at a hospital school about 30 minutes from our house in 8 days. She will live there during the week and come home on the weekends. I know it won't be long before the weekend trips home will become too difficult.
Batten disease is so hard on myself and especially my other 3 children. As much as Rachel didn't ask to be born with a rare, terminal brain disease, my other 3 children didn't ask for Batten Disease to be front and center in their childhoods.
To listen to their sister scream, yell, demand and generally wreak emotional havoc on their Mom is really hard on them. A lot of her behaviors that I deal with are well worn grooves that have become deep over time. Things that Rachel does with me, at home, are behaviors that are much, much less with others (especially new people). The yelling, the death threats, the hitting, the everything. Its all a product of a little girl who's brain is dying. Things got much worse when she started her period.
I love Rachel so much and wish there was something more that I could do but if you have to pick between your sanity and the emotional health of your children who will hopefully live long happy, healthy lives or a very ill and terminal daughter…
I had to choose. I HAD TO.
And I have chosen myself and healthy children.
And it kills me.
The school that she is going to be living at is awesome. She spent last summer there as a day camper and had THE BEST time.
Like legit. The best time (a few iPhone pics are below).
They have every piece of equipment you can possibly imagine to safely take care of Rachel. They have activities adapted to kids (under the age of 22) that you have to see to believe.. They swim, they ride horses, they do awesome crafts, they cook, they are a community. She has fought me on wanting to go, not wanting to leave home but I've worked the idea into her head with the help of my Mom. I know the transition will be hard on her I believe that this is the absolute best place for her to go.
As a Mom you want to protect your kids, see them grow and develop and harvest a passion for life. I've done so much with her yet I wish I could do so much more. I've been told that this transition will be harder on me than on her. And I believe it.
My other 3 kids need me and Rachel needs to be in a place that can physically manage her and have enough people in rotation to give her the best years of the rest of her life. This is the hardest thing I will ever do.
I wish it didn't have to be this way.
I love her so much.
Here are some pictures of Rachel taken by her awesome person that was with her during middle school (Gina). Gina has taken a job at the same school Rachel is moving into and is helping Rachel (and me) bridge over into this new way of life.
It's 4am. I need sleep. Vacation week is upon me and this is my last week with her.

No road race this year
Hello folks. I just wanted to officially announce on Rachel's website that we won't be holding the race this year. Between Rachel's worsening condition and our family dynamic changing I just don't have the energy or time to invest in the race this year. My number one priority in life is to make sure all 4 of my children are taken care of to my best ability.
I know lots of people are bummed about this but in my heart I know its the right thing to do.

A Colloquium with Hideko Mitsui, Department of Social & Cultural Anthropology, Stanford University
Wednesday, March 17, 20043:30 PM - 5:00 PM10383 Bunche HallUCLA CampusLos Angeles, CA 90095
In the early 1990's, survivors of World War II Japanese military sexual slavery, also known as "the comfort women system," began speaking out about their experiences, and debates have intensified over the extent of responsibility of the wartime government and the Emperor. Since then, survivors from all over Asia, in cooperation with Japanese citizens' groups and lawyers, have filed civil lawsuits in Japan, demanding public apology and state compensation from the Japanese government.
This talk will discuss the violence committed against civilians by the Japanese military in Southeast Asia during WWII, and how the Japanese government dealt with the issue of wartime violence against women up to the early 1990s. It will situate the chronology of the Filipina "comfort women" lawsuits since the 1990's at the intersections of, and within the web of, the intentions of the Japanese government, feminist activists and supporters, and of the Filipina survivors themselves.
Specifically, it will trace how one original prosecution team for the Filipina survivors-plaintiffs eventually spilt into three over the years, and the role that the Japanese government-initiated, semi-private "atonement enterprise" played in the process of transnational negotiation of justice.
Hideko Mitsui is a doctoral candidate in Cultural and Social Anthropology at Stanford University, and currently a fellow at the Stanford Conflict and Negotiation Center (SCCN) at the Stanford Law School. Her dissertation research is on the community of citizens in Japan who take part in narrating, recording and transmitting the knowledge about the Japanese Imperial Army's controversial conduct during WWII. She has worked for the Non-Governmental Organization that hosted the "Women's International War Crimes Tribunal for the Trial of Japan's Military Sexual Slavery" held in Tokyo, 2000. Her research interests include gender, nationalism, memories of wartime violence, and (post)coloniality in East Asia.
Cost : Free and open to the public.
Sponsor(s): Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Gender Studies

2014 Organization Report: San Diego Padres
by Chris Mallonee
Organization grades:
Hitting: B+ ... Pitching: A ... Top End Talent: B+... Depth: A- ... Overall: A-
Minor League Affiliates:
Triple-A: El Paso (PCL)
Double-A: San Antonio (TEX)
High-A: Lake Elsinore (CAL)
Low-A: Fort Wayne (MWL)
Short-season: Eugene (NWL)
Rookie: AZL Padres (AZL)
1. Austin Hedges (C) … 6-1, 190 … R/R … 21 … 2011 (1) HS (CA)
Team (LG) AB BA/OBP/Slg bb% ct% Eye HR/SB =================== === ============== === === ==== ===== Lake Elsinore (CAL) 233 .270/.343/.425 9 81 0.49 4/ 5 San Antonio (TEX) 67 .224/.297/.269 9 87 0.67 0/ 3
Comments: Strong and athletic backstop was limited to 300 at-bats due to injury. Hedges is an amazing defender and could catch in big leagues now. Owns very strong, accurate arm with polished blocking ability. Offers some potential for batting average with average pop. Utilizes a compact stroke to hit hard line drives to gaps, but can be fooled by breaking balls and offspeed stuff. Savvy baserunner who can steal an occasional base despite just average speed.
Development Path: Will start 2014 at Double-A but could be the Padres starting catcher as soon as 2015.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: His outstanding defense is certainly the reason he's on the fast track to the majors, but he should be able to handle the bat enough not to be a liability. At maturity, a .250 hitter with moderate power is a reasonable expectation.
Upside Rating: 8B
2. Max Fried (LHP) … 6-4, 185 … 20 … 2012 (1) HS (CA)
Team (LG) IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd oppBA =================== ==== ==== ==== === === === ===== Fort Wayne (MWL) 118 3.50 1.38 4.3 7.6 1.8 .249
Comments: Very projectable lefty who has huge upside. Needs to add strength, but has quick, clean arm action to generate velocity and movement. Best pitch is hard curveball that he can throw for strikes or get hitters to chase, followed by a plus fastball that can hit 95 with some late arm-side run. Dominates LHH (.174 oppBA), but has a few things to polish. Needs to reduce walk rate and polish change-up. Throws with some deception in his delivery.
Development Path: Fried will start 2014 at High-A Lake Elsinore but could see a promotion to Double-A fairly quickly if he keeps progressing as anticipated. In addition to working on improving his change-up, the Padres will work with him on not being too fine with pitch location and trusting his stuff to get swings and misses. His arsenal is good enough to strike out more hitters while walking fewer.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Fried has the potential to be a solid #2 starter who contributes in every category.
Upside Rating: 9C
3. Matt Wisler (RHP) … 6-3, 175 … 21 … 2011 (7) HS (OH)
Team (LG) IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd oppBA =================== ==== ==== ==== === === === ===== Lake Elsinore (CAL) 31.0 2.03 0.90 1.7 8.1 4.7 .196 San Antonio (TEX) 105.0 3.00 1.07 2.3 8.8 3.8 .223
Comments: Tall and athletic starter who continues to evolve into top prospect. Has feel for pitching by spotting 90-95 mph fastball with hard sink impeccably, and using two above-average breaking balls to keep hitters off guard. Slider misses bats on any level and change-up continues to improve steadily. Posted an impressive 4.0 Cmd for second straight season. Throws easy strikes despite pitch movement, but hasn't fared well against left-handed hitters.
Development Path: At 21 years old in a system stacked with pitching depth, there is no hurry to rush Wisler's development, though he should see significant Triple-A time in 2014. He will spend time this season continuing to develop his change-up which should help him even out LHH/RHH splits.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Still some projection left in his pitches and could add a tick or two to his velocity. Though he might not post elite Dom, he has the tools to contribute nicely with solid Cmd, Ctl, ERA, and WHIP as a durable mid-rotation starter.
Upside Rating: 8C
4. Hunter Renfroe (OF) … 6-1, 210 …R/R… 22 … 2013 (1) Mississippi State
Team (LG) AB BA/OBP/Slg bb% ct% Eye HR/SB ================ === ============== === === ==== ===== Eugene (NWL) 104 .308/.333/.510 5 75 0.19 4/ 2 Fort Wayne (MWL) 66 .212/.268/.379 6 65 0.17 2/ 0
Comments: Big and strong outfielder played CF in college but fits more of a classic RF profile with plus power and arm strength. Has tendency to expand strike zone with unrefined approach, but has decent hitting instincts with quick hands to the ball. Generates plus bat speed, but can be fooled by breaking balls, as evidenced by 49 strikeouts in his first 170 AB. Runs well for size and has enough range and savvy in the outfield.
Development Path: Should start 2014 at Lake Elsinore and reach San Antonio by year end. Needs to improve pitch recognition and ability to make contact against secondary pitches and improve his reads in the outfield.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: His plus power gives him the potential to be among the league's leaders in HR with a decent batting average.
Upside Rating: 9C
5. Joe Ross (RHP) … 6-3, 185 … 20 … 2011 (1) HS (CA)
Team (LG) IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd oppBA ================ ===== ==== ==== === ==== === ===== Fort Wayne (MWL) 122.0 3.76 1.34 2.9 5.8 2.0 .267
Comments: Very athletic starter who has the stuff that should result in more strikeouts in the future. Works with very quick arm action that produces late movement to electric fastball that can hit 97. Keeps his pitches in the lower half of the strike zone and hitters bury them into the ground. His slider shows above average potential but gets flat at times, and his change-up is still in the infancy stage. A move to the bullpen may be in his future as he loses steam in later innings.
Development Path: Ross will advance to High-A Lake Elsinore. Injuries have limited him to 178 career IP, so he needs to continue to get reps while working to improve his change-up.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Ross definitely has the potential to be a solid #3 starter for SD, but it hinges on developing a third average or better pitch and proving his durability as he matures. He has the fastball/slider combo to rack up lots of strikeout with a decent ERA and good WHIP.
Upside Rating: 9D
6. Casey Kelly (RHP) … 6-3, 195 … 24 … 2008(1) HS (FL)
Team (LG) IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd oppBA ================ ===== ==== ==== === ==== === ===== Did not pitch in 2013
Comments: Tall and very athletic starting pitcher who missed the 2013 season after having Tommy John surgery in April. He thrives on impeccable fastball location despite late, sinking action. Induces lots of groundballs and shown an increased ability to strike batters out due to an excellent, consistent curveball. His change-up is a good pitch, but needs to add polish to overall arsenal. It should not take long for him to return to normal and post the numbers he was prior to injury.
Development Path: Kelly is projected to be fully healthy early in the season, and should pitch at Triple-A El Paso. There's not much left to his development beyond proving his stuff is still good following TJ surgery and tightening up his secondary pitches a bit.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Both his Dom and Cmd took a nice uptick in 2012, and he showed the ability to produce those same results at the highest level during his 29 inning call-up. If he reaches his potential, will contribute nicely in Cmd, ERA, and WHIP from the middle of the SD rotation.
Upside Rating: 8C
7. Rymer Liriano (OF) … 6-0, 225 … 22 … 2007 FA, D.R.
Team (LG) AB BA/OBP/Slg bb% ct% Eye HR/SB ================ === ============== === === ==== ===== Did not play in 2013
Comments: Toolsy and strong outfielder who missed entire season after TJ surgery in February. Has the potential to hit for power and steal bases due to eclectic mix of talents. Needs to make more contact and can expand strike zone due to lack of pitch recognition. Ranges very well in RF with a plus arm and speed.
Development Path: Liriano is expected to start the year at Double-A, and will work on plate approach and plate discipline while striving to make more consistent contact.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: The ceiling on Liriano's ability to hit for power and steal bases is pretty high. If he can make the needed adjustments to contact rate and plate approach, he will be able to contribute across all categories.
Upside Rating: 9D
8. Jace Peterson (SS) … 6-0, 200 … L/R … 23 … 2011 (1) McNeese State
Team (LG) AB BA/OBP/Slg bb% ct% Eye HR/SB =================== === ============== === === ==== ===== Lake Elsinore (CAL) 423 .303/.382/.454 13 86 0.93 7/42
Comments: Very athletic infielder who has good tools and well above average savvy. He put together an impressive year at High-A, showing his ability get on-base and utilize his plus speed. Can be a flashy defender with ideal quickness and SS range. His arm isn't strong, but he can make all the routine plays. Hits left-handed pitching with simple approach and has line-drive pop. His advanced plate discipline helps him draw lots of walks. Steals loads of bases (132 past three seasons) which is enhanced by on-base skills.
Development Path: Peterson will begin the year at Double-A San Antonio, but could see the big leagues as soon as 2015. Not much further skill development is needed in the minors; just needs to prove he can keep posting the same production at higher levels.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Has shown an excellent ability to hit for average, draw walks, and make consistent contact. He brings fantasy value in every category except for power.
Upside Rating: 8C
9. Keyvius Sampson (RHP) … 6-0, 185 … 23 … 2009 (4) HS (FL)
Team (LG) IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd oppBA ================= ==== ==== ==== === === === ===== San Antonio (TEX) 103.1 2.27 1.04 2.9 9.6 3.3 .199 Tucson (PCL) 38.0 7.11 1.92 6.9 5.9 0.9 .306
Comments: Short and aggressive pitcher who began in AAA, but dominated AA upon demotion. His velocity increased throughout the year and he ditched his curveball in favor of a hard slider that misses bats. Sampson is very tough on right-handed hitters and has a decent change-up to retire left-handed hitters. His command still needs polish, but he's learning how to sequence his pitches and does a nice job holding velocity deep into games.
Development Path: Sampson will give Triple-A another shot this season, hopefully with much better results after a successful year at Double-A under his belt. With the uptick in velocity and development of slider, the Padres gave him a look as a power-reliever in the AFL where he fared very well. With so much starting pitching depth, it's reasonable to see a move to the pen at some point if his command falters, but he's going to be given ample opportunity to prove he can stick as a starter.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: He has the type of stuff to continue striking out a batter an inning while also contributing solid ERA and WHIP.
Upside Rating: 8C
10. Zach Eflin (RHP) … 6-4, 200 … 19 … 2012 (1) HS (FL)
Team (LG) IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd oppBA ================= ==== ==== ==== === === === ===== Fort Wayne (MWL) 118.2 2.74 1.19 2.4 6.5 2.8 .239
Comments: Athletic and durable starting pitcher who was consistently good all season. Still very young with a lot of projection left in his stuff. Throws from a ¾ arm slot and likes to change speeds by cutting and sinking plus fastball and mixing in excellent change-up with similar arm speed. Has a nice feel for pitching and throws lots of strikes, but fails to adequately drop curveball in the zone. His strikeout rate is a bit low and is more of a flyball pitcher.
Development Path: Eflin will start the season at High-A Lake Elsinore. It is interesting given his height (6'4") and downward action on his pitches that he doesn't get more strikeouts and groundballs, though he will certainly work on that this year. Given his age, the Padres may continue moving him up a level or season or bump him to Double-A by the end of the season, but he is still 2-3 seasons away from being ready for the majors.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Still has a bit of work ahead of him, but has the potential to for an ERA around 3.00 with 6-7 Dom and decent WHIP.
Upside Rating: 8D
11. Burch Smith (RHP) … 6-4, 215 … 23 … 2011 (14) Oklahoma

Comments: Tall, physical right-hander had a breakout season that culminated with his first call-up. He is very tough with his plus fastball that can hit 97 mph and is difficult to elevate due to plus movement. Smith establishes the plate with his fastball then counters with an impressive, deceptive change-up. He can register strikeouts with either offering. Though his curveball is far from polished, he will stick as a starting pitcher.
Development Path: Burch has an outside shot for a rotation spot this season out of spring training. More likely, however, is starting out at Triple-A and developing curveball while figuring out what caused his command breakdown during his 2013 call-up.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Smith has the potential to post Elite-dom and low-ERA, though expectations of solid Ctl are a bit risky until he can prove he's made some necessary adjustments.
Upside Rating: 7C
12. Matt Andriese (RHP) … 6-3, 210 … 24 … 2011 (3) UC-Riverside

Comments: The durable and strong starting pitcher has progressed through the system quickly and was promoted to Triple-AAA at midseason. He pitches off his plus sinker and rarely allows hitters to put the ball in the air. Throws consistent strikes and saw his command on all three pitches improve. Has good enough breaking stuff to miss some bats. His curveball could become plus, though he needs a better offspeed pitch to counter left-handed hitters.
Development Path: Andriese will look to have a good full year at Triple-A, polishing his curveball and getting valuable higher-level reps. He will be in the starting rotation discussion in the very near future and could potentially see a call-up in 2014 if someone goes down with injury or is a victim of poor performance.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: He has posted impressive command at every stop. Has the frame, velocity, and arsenal to become a dependable #3 starter contributing well in ERA, WHIP, and Ks, particularly pitching in PETCO park.
Upside Rating: 8D
13. Walker Weickel (RHP) … 6-6, 195 … 20 … 2012 (1) HS (FL)
Team (LG) IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd oppBA ================= ===== ==== ==== === === === ===== Fort Wayne (MWL) 110.2 5.06 1.52 3.5 6.7 1.9 .283
Comments: Tall and lean starter who uses his height well. Has been too hittable, but a lot of upside and projection. He pitches downhill with sinking FB and keeps the ball on the ground. All three of his pitches could become average to above-average offerings, but they certainly need some polish and fine tuning. Weickel lacks deception in his delivery and needs to gain consistency on the mound.
Development Path: Should start the year at Lake Elsinore and continue to work on his command and locating well to both sides of the plate. Definitely still some projection in his arm and could see a tick or two more velocity on his fastball in the coming seasons. He is at least two seasons away from fighting for a spot in the middle of the Padres rotation.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Without much deception in his delivery and elite velocity, he projects to a Dom of 6.0-7.0 but could contribute nicely in ERA and WHIP.
Upside Rating: 8D
14. Joe Wieland (RHP) … 6-3, 195 … 24 … 2008 (4) HS (NV)
Team (LG) IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd oppBA ============== ==== ==== ==== === === === ===== Did not pitch in 2013
Comments: Wieland got a taste of the major leagues in 2012 and was in the 2013 rotation discussion before Tommy John surgery and setbacks caused him to miss the whole season. He received his first call-up in '12 based upon polished pitch sequencing and plus control. He sets up his secondary pitches well with a quality fastball that he locates to all quadrants. Complements his fastball with a big curveball that can register strikeouts and a change-up that flashes above-average but not as consistent as his other two offerings.
Development Path: He appeared healthy during limited AFL action and will spend 2014 in the high minors building back endurance following TJ surgery. Assuming he's back at full health, he will soon be knocking on the door of the SD rotation, though there is certainly lots of competition throughout the organization.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: Wieland doesn't project to post great fantasy numbers as he will probably never rack up lots of strikeouts, but his plus command profile will provide some WHIP and ERA value.
Upside Rating: 8B
15. Cory Spangenberg (2B) … 6-0, 185 … L/R … 23 … 2011 (1) Indian River JC
Team (LG) AB BA/OBP/Slg bb% ct% Eye HR/SB =================== === ============== === === ==== ===== Lake Elsinore (CAL) 226 .296/.364/.460 10 77 0.45 4/17 San Antonio (TEX) 287 .289/.331/.366 6 79 0.28 2/19
Comments:Lean and athletic infielder put together a quality 2013 season with a .292 average and 36 stolen bases. He tweaked his swing focusing on more consistent, hard contact. Lacks present power as strength and bat speed a little short, but reads pitches well and uses entire field. Has excellent speed and good quickness for a second baseman, though he still needs to work on improving his infield play a bit. His ceiling is a starter, floor a useful utility player.
Development Path: Spangenberg will most likely start back at San Antonio but could spend significant time at Triple-A this season. Not much projection left in his skill set, just a matter of getting reps defensively and showing he can get-on base effectively at the higher levels to utilize his above-average speed.
Fantasy Impact at Maturity: He will never provide much in the way of power numbers, but could provide decent fantasy value with his ability to hit for average and steal bases. If he reaches his full potential, would be a nice second-tier 2B fantasy option.

Geographic Information System (GIS) technology has predominantly changed how our world is analyzed and modeled. Be it small businesses, multinational companies, agriculture-based companies, educational institutions, or maps guiding a lost individual- GIS finds application in many areas. The rapid growth rate of data poses huge challenge to its interpretation. GIS provides an easy and more efficient way to interpret geospatial data – to create a topographic map with elevation, angles and other features. The Applications of GIS workshop exposes the participants to the concepts and applications of GIS in use for multiple disciplines. Participants will learn to create, edit, visualize, and analyze geospatial information and apply this learning to work on a vast range of projects where GIS technology is used.
This workshop is split into 2 modules:
The Civil Simplified team functions with a motto of addressing the deficits in practical exposure in prevalent civil engineering studies. The team values the importance of civil engineering and hence makes sure that the students understand the right way for approaching complex civil problems.
Also, the instructors follow a student-centered model of education that encourages use of the learning gained for large-scale projects. They persistently work to ensure that the knowledge imparted to the students can be used across all applications possible.
The way the sessions are carried out, i.e. not only are they interactive, but brainstorming too. It enhances the ability to think out of the box and to come up with innovative ideas. Now I'm confident enough to take up any project in GIS. - Sumana Sahoo. Pune

I have chills after reading this post. I literally feel like im going to throw up.. I will always reboot this.
real, actual issues in the world right now
This is happening in the world but people are worried about what a celebrity is going to name their child.
is noone going to ask hOW THE FUCK THEYRE GETTING ALL THE ACID
What the actual fuck. I could cry reading this. Wow
We need more news coverage on this. This is the most horrifying shit I have ever seen in my entire life. Omigod. I'm literally sick to my stomach by this.
Keep this post in mind. All the attention we give to Kim and Kanye, Beyonce, Beiber, can effectively change the situations going on to these women. Millions of people wait on a song for beyonce. Imagine if a fraction of that instead focused on helping the people of these countries, both men and women get the lively hoods they deserve. The sympathy doesn't just fall on the women for their mistreatment but also the men for destroying the gems and jewels they've been blessed with and not realizing how much damage their causing.
We have to put things in their proper place and give the important things their right place and proper priority.

I feel like this is some sort of job marketing scam.
Report to the FTC at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
Nov 24, 2013
Affiliated marketing scam
ZNZ receives money and pays a commission to people for directing traffic to a company's website. If you sign on with ZNZ you are given a referral code.
If you direct someone to a website and they use your code to sign up for either a membership or trial offer you are paid anywhere from $5-$50.
The two main issues with this are:
The majority of the companies that do business with ZNZ are unethical (ex. credit reporting company that will offer a "free" report but charges you a monthly fee until you cancel), and the means in which people (victims) are lured to a company's website (ex. need a credit check for a fake job posting).
Nov 25, 2013
Sounds like its a "legal scam", which I always considered to be an oxymoron. :/
Nov 26, 2013
Anytime there is a promotional or referral code associated with an item, free trial or website, rest assured that someone is making a buck by luring you to the product or services. No one in their right mind is going to drum up business for a company w/o being paid for it.

Exactly, TPTB. I always go by the words "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is."

Evelyn Lozada REVEALS She Was "HUMILIATED, EMBARASSED...IN SHOCK" By DOMESTIC DISPUTE With Chad Johnson
"BBW" star Evelyn Lozada tearfully revealed deets about the domestic dispute between she and estranged husband Chad Johnson on Nightline tonight. Get the deets on what happened and why Evelyn decided to walk away from the marriage inside.......
Evelyn Lozada sat for a revealing interview with Nightline last night where she opened up about the public failure of her marriage to Chad Johnson and why she walked away from their life together after only 41 days.
She said it all began when she found a receipt in Chad's car.
"...And the very first thing that was on there was that he purchased a box of condoms. So I looked at the date and it was, like, July 20 something, it was literally, like, three weeks after my wedding."
Evelyn confronted Chad about the receipt and he denied sleeping around...but she didn't buy it.
"I knew that he was lying. And I told him, I never forget telling him, I said, "I'm not stickin' by you through this. I don't care if my marriage is the laughing stock of the world and people laugh at me. I'm not stickin' by you through this."
"He got upset. He just....he came a whole other person and he was like, "I didn't-- I didn't do anything. You're accusing me." And then the next thing I know, he-- he grabbed me by here and he headbutted me. And all I felt was, you know...I felt, like, you know, blood coming down my face."
Evelyn was treated at the hospital and given 6 stitches for the headbutt while Chad was arrested for the assault.
When asked how she felt after the issue hit the media, she said, "...Humiliated, embarrassed...in shock. I was in shock that my fairytale, my life or, you know, I felt like I was supposed to be starting my life, had just ended."
When questioned about her image on "BBW" and critics who say she might have "deserved it" (because of karma) Ev said,
"I understand it, but I also think that it's like saying, "Well, look at that woman that-- look at what she had on. That's why she got raped," you know? I just feel like-- I feel it's a little unfair, you know? Whatever the perception of me is on Basketball Wives, that doesn't justify what happened that day, you know? That's catty drama amongst women on a reality show."
So where does Evelyn go from here? Will we still see her jumping on tables and throwing bottles? She said,
"You won't see me throwin' a bottle. I'll tell you that. You know-- I'm always gonna voice my opinion. But you won't see me actin' a fool, you know? I've grown a lot in the last couple months."
Watch the interview here:
Evelyn was spotted leaving her hotel in New York City recently.
And for those wondering where Evelyn stands with Chad, she closed out her Nightline interview by saying, "Yes, I still love him. It's the hardest thing (CRYING) in the world to walk away from someone that you really love, but you have to walk away because I have to protect myself."
