My wife and I came for a one night stay and visited local breweries. Everything about the Hampton Inn was extra nice from the warm welcome, to the fine interior conditions, to the excellent full, hot breakfast. This is a nice place to stay.
Nice Rooms. Free Breakfast. Fire Alarm went off twice at very inconvenient times.
The Hampton hotel was the best hotel we have stayed in yet. Very clean, large rooms.
We were impressed with this place from beginning to end. Nice location. Easy to find and park. Friendly staff. Beautiful, well-appointed rooms with high ceilings and extremely comfortable beds. Surprisingly bountiful complimentary breakfast (eggs, hash browns, waffles, fresh fruit and much more), served in spacious and comfortable dining area. That our time here was too short.
Comfortable rooms for our two boys and us. Clean and a wonderful staff. Noise from the traffic.
Attractive, clean, quiet, friendly
Hotel and rooms were very clean. Had a descent multi exercise machine, was able to work several body parts adequately. Breakfast was descent. The refrigerator did not have a freezer in it.
Everything NO
It was clean and close to where we were staying. We called the night of check in to see if they had a wheel chair.The person in charge was very rude,and said we aren't a nursing home.The daytime manager was wonderful,and she would have gone home to get hers. The owner was suppose to call us and didn't.
Nothing fancy but clean, quiet, a terrific and friendly staff and a great location. Nothing
Not sure why the 2 1/2 star rating, but we were very impressed and would definitely stay here again. The rooms were clean, (the carpet was newly installed) and the beds (queen!) were very comfortable! The breakfast was very good, great assortment. When we called the front desk requesting foam pillows, the young man replied that he didn't think they had any; he didn't check w/ anyone. Next day, the manager told us they definitely have foam pillows.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great also.
The hotel was awesome, but I don't appreciate being overcharged for the rental car. I booked for three days, had the car three days, yet got charged for four. I only put that here because I will not get a survey for the rental car. The hotel was great!
Very clean and comfortable. Close to Bradenton attractions. Excellent breakfast buffet with delicious cooked food. The noise of the air conditioning system.
location room had a filthy floor in the bathroom and the shower tile need re grouting door frame badly rusted.
Comfort Hair on bathroom floor
That breakfast was included an it was clean an staff was helpful There was a fee for late checkout even though I checked in late.
Ordinary breakfast bar was OK Exercise bike was non-functional
From the moment I walked in, I felt very at home. I was greeted by Brian, who, over the week of our stay, felt like a close friend. Every time we walked in he instantly recognized us and genuinely asked how our day was going. The room was great for the money, very clean and comfortable, and very quiet. I felt like nobody was around us. It is a very small hotel, which I really liked. It is a bit of a drive to the beach, about 15 or 20 minutes, but well worth it in my opinion. I loved it, but to some who are very picky I can see them being unhappy. There were a few stains on the bathroom wall, I occasionally heard a dripping in the toilet plumbing, and the tub drained a bit slowly after a bath. But realistically, it's a hotel with new people nearly every day.. things like that will be there. Everything felt very clean and cared for. I wouldn't say I disliked anything.
I do like the updated motel 6. Vinyl flooring, flat screen TV... Lack of included WiFi
Room smelled of smoke. Sink would not drain. Shower was very weak. Sign on inside of door to lock your room for your own safety.
The room was old and needs alot of updates .Rates were to high for the room.Only good thing was location. Location
Everything Na
Excellent room. Well kept facility. Good weekend breakfast. Outstanding overall value!
Staff was very nice 2nd floor hallway carpet smelled like mildew. Room had plug plateS had one screw, loose , smoke detector hanging out of the wall.
Room were clean and comfortable and staff was friendly.
The owner, was super hospitable. Breakfast was amazing and the atmosphere lent itself toward great conversation with other guests.
Quaint bed & breakfast, comfortable bed. Good breakfast
We could not have been more impressed by this beautiful, charming home very close to Anna Maria island. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was delicious. The Keurig maching, mini-fridge, and flat screen were nice too. There was nothing we did not like.
Had lots of sleeping room and it was comfortable. Felt like i was at home. I noticed there was roaches in the kichen and in the dishwasher. That was a turn off . room 104 building 4535 i beleive 1st building.
Location floors are filthy
Close to everything Not accepting the jet ski, it's weird being so close to the beach!!!
The condo is spacious with lanai overlooking small lake. The location is wonderful! Close to restaurants, the beach, Longboat Key and Sarasota Not sure what bit me while there. Hope it wasn't bed bugs!
We stayed a long weekend and enjoyed it. Very nice and big place. Felt like home!
Excellent location, cute and immaculate room with mid century and beachy vibe. Awesome beach across street. Easy parking. Appreciate the 'family friendly contract' that guests sign, agreeing to the house rules regarding noise, etc. Just the style of the classic building allows sound to travel from walkway and adjacent rooms. Not bad, though.
Friendly staff Pool and beach Comfy bed Quick breakfast Convenient location Magnify mirror in bathroom Plenty of towels Night stands were low to use the lamp for reading Need softer toilet paper
It was very clean! The location was great and the staff very helpful! It was all good !
Location to beach. Little kitchen area in room very handy. We'll equipped. Breakfast. No coffee one morning. Some staff rude when opening office late one morning.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Stayed here many times...always love it...super clean
This hotel exceeds every expectation I could have had. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms were bright and immaculately clean. The private beach was clean and large. I will stay there again soon. Can't say enough nice things about it. No
The afternoon clerk was fantastic. She even came up to the room to see if we were pleased with the room!
Location NO
cleanliness location nope
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
More of a 2 star vs 2.5
Very friendly staff. Very bright lobby. Breakfast provided was a very nice variety & very well stocked. Rooms appeared & smelled clean. Fantastic idea to have additional electronic plug ins throughout room! May consider another color palate for rooms; color choices made rooms feel smaller than size. AC was little noisy. Baseboard in bathroom separating from wall. May consider door stoppers in bathroom rather than having to repatch holes (Rm 128).
everything but foods are same every day every days food are same
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Everything was excellent. The only complaint was the coffee was not very good taste was bad.all Buffet ...all else was good.
Very clean and breakfast was great
Room was clean and smelled good. Close to interstate but a bit of a rough area.
Staff were friendly. Breakfast was good. You could see the light shining in the side of the door. We hoped bugs didn't come in.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
very helpful front desk comp breakfast ended at 9am (too early)
Loved the staff. All very helpful with local sights and events. Room was clean. Pool and hot tub very nice. Free wifi worked well. Breakfast, while free, was very average. Coffee in lobby was not available at some times for us early risers!
Free coffee bar in the morning.

Very clean, included breakfast is good, front desk service is excellent. No

Location within Lakewood Ranch, FL. Breakfast was same as any other hotel.
good breakfast. Nice hot tub and work out room. Had dumbells which was nice. The room was somewhat small compared to other hotels. Still comfy though.
Location Overpriced
Quiet Mattress could have been a little softer for my preference
The room was nice and clean and well appointed. The neighbors were to loud, hung out outside and smoked and talked to loud til 1 am. The facility is situated in front of a large trailer park which probably doesn't help attract better clientele.
I like the price for all the amenities. There was a nice breakfast of coffee, yogurts, waffles, etc. The staff is very kind and took care of all our needs for the near week we spent there. There is a nice pool which is lovely to spend the afternoon at. The rooms are updated and include little kitchenettes for making nice meals in the room at night and watching movies on the TV. There is a nice desk and chair with ottoman for relaxing. The internet was very fast so I could watch movies on my phone or laptop. The parking is well lit up at night and has video recording which makes us feel safer. The other hotel we stayed at up the street was one of the bigger brands (and price tag) and didn't feel as safe to me. We've stayed at a few spots and have family in Bradenton, so we plan to always use this hotel as our place to stay in the future. The maid service woke me up one morning because I forgot to put the do not disturb sign on the door.
my check in clerk, i was early checking in so she said she would call me when there was a room ready, the did in less than an hour :) the pool and pool area was a disgrace
Reasonable price. Good location for our needs Pool wasn't clean

Can I Use Seller Financing?
Seller financing is also called owner financing. It is a loan provided by the seller of the property. Some of the most common types of seller financing are All-inclusive mortgage, Junior mortgage, Land contract, Lease option, and Assumable mortgage. They are usually short-term loans. The amortization of the loan could be 30 years with a balloon payment in five years. The reason is that when the value of the property has appreciated or the buyer's financial situation has improved; the buyer will often sell the property or refinance with a traditional loan. It could be extremely beneficial if one can use it wisely.
The pros of Seller financing
With Seller financing, the seller can make profits in two different ways: sell the property and profit from the land appreciation; collect the interest and profit from providing funding. When borrowing money from the banks or mortgage companies, the buyer has to meet certain criteria such as the minimum amount of down payment, good credit record and sustainable income. Seller financing usually enables the buyer to make a low or no down payment to purchase the property. There is no strict credit record and verifiable income requirement. The seller can cover the risk of a low down payment purchases with a much higher interest rate.
Another major benefit of seller financing is the saving of the closing costs for both the buyer and the seller. The parties can negotiate the interest rate and repayment schedule; they can agree to a deal that benefits both parties the most.
The cons of Seller financing
So, you want to buy or sell a property with seller financing. Do you know what the disadvantages are?
As you make the deal with the buyer or seller on your own, there is always less protection for your property of your investment returns. As a buyer, there is no longer a home inspection, mortgage insurance, or an appraisal to back you up. For example, you could pay the loan in full but still not receive the title of the property because of the default of a senior financing. The property thus will be subjected to foreclosure. Furthermore, as a seller, you may need to face high credit risk because it is very difficult to get a whole picture of the buyer's financial situation. You might have to foreclose the property in a relatively unattractive price if the buyer defaults.
What to do?
Talk to friends who have experience in seller financing and get to know the whole process. Do your own due diligence, check the prevalent market rates in your region and come up a rate for your deal; Consult with legal counsel and your accountant regarding the potential consequences of any real estate fraud. Negotiate with the buyer or seller to get a better financing deal.

LAST TANGOEsperantoEclectic Prog3.95 | 71 ratings |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Special Collaborator Symphonic Team |
An eclectic musical language This band with British and Belgian origins released three albums in the first half of the 70's. I didn't know anything about them until recently, but was quickly impressed. The closest comparison I can make of the band's sound is to those of Curved Air and early Electric Light Orchestra mostly due to the strong presence of cello and violins but also due to the female vocals that sometimes remind strongly of Sonja Kristina, particularly on Painted Lady which could have come straight from a Curved Air album. The male vocals remind rather of Roger Chapman of Family. Other band that come to mind while listening to Esperanto's Last Tango are String Driven Thing, Beggar's Opera, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Gentle Giant and Carmen. But the band is really as eclectic as the language from which they have taken their name. The album starts with a cover of The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby which is as wonderfully different from its original as Manfred Mann's Earth Band's several covers of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen songs. For not having any guitars in the band, the band's sound is surprisingly aggressive. Whatever could be done with electric guitars is here done with cellos and violins to great effect. The bass guitar is Chris Squire-like and often functions as a lead instrument rather than merely as part of a rhythm section. In addition there are keyboards and drums. Still Life continues with some very nice instrumental work outs with cello/violin, piano and great bass guitar. The more symphonic and piano/harpsichord dominated parts remind me of Renaissance, the bass guitar is a bit similar to that on Renaissance's Ashes Are Burning album. But despite the absence of guitars, Esperanto often has a harder and more aggressive sound. The three shorter tracks are slightly more conventional but no less good. Painted Lady in particular is a great song that, as I have said already, remind of Curved Air. The closing title track is indeed a bit of a tango. And finally we have the 12 plus minute The Rape which is a strong number that represents the album very well. Last Tango is an enjoyable and recommended listen.

Congratulations on a great hunt and thanks for posting your story and pictures.
Like you said, goat hunts can be very strenuous. Every year when I apply for a tag, I hope that I can still make it up the mountains to hunt them. It seems like the mountains get steeper every year.
Congrats on a great hunt!

I have always wanted to go on a mountain goat hunt to BC, maybe one day soon I'll make it. It will take some work for me to get into moutain goat shape. How long did you train to get in shape for the hunt?
Your story was a great read while in the stand this morning. The deer and turkeys interrupted me about half way through it.
Nice Goat!
That's quite a hunt. From everything I hear and read, I won't be going on a mountain goat or a sheep hunt unless I can be airlifted in and out by helicopter! ):>)
Too many years behind me - to say nothing of the cost involved.
But I'm glad to read about the success of others.
Nice shot, by the way; those steep up/downhill shots can be very deceiving, and they sometimes reward you with the infamous "scope eye."
Congrats - be sure to post a picture of the mount when it's done.
Thanks for the story.

Teach staff a simple exercise to connect with New Year's leads.
There are at least a dozen clichés about making a good impression. Maybe you've heard or used one of these: "Just relax," "Be yourself," "Be confident" or the ubiquitous "You only have one chance to make a good first impression." The clichés are off and running this time of year, when New Year's resolutions send scores of people to your fitness facility in a bid to make good on a resolution or two. How are you going to convert these leads? What's your action plan?
While statements themselves don't necessarily motivate, a tangible plan of action does. To create a plan of action, set communication goals for yourself and your staff. As you gear up to set new membership records in 2012, consider using the following exercise in your next planning meeting—to inspire your team to help people keep their commitments to themselves and become part of your fitness community.
The Objectives Game
While preparing staff to handle your facility's peak season, emphasize the importance of making an honest and effective first impression. Here's a game I call "Objectives." To ensure that this exercise is effective, stay positive and stress that it must not be used to manipulate or deceive someone. Objectives is simply a word to describe how one person is trying to make another person feel. It will help your staff navigate conversations and social settings and remember that the interaction is never about them.
This exercise forces staff to get out of their own head and focus on the needs of the people with whom they are communicating. It sounds simple, yes. But maybe your personal trainer director is used to being behind closed doors and doesn't feel confident interacting with trial members. Your front-desk staff may think their only purpose is to smile and swipe membership cards. It's important to train staff in the basics of communication. Everyone can use a refresher course—especially in today's smartphone and tablet culture, where people tend to interact on-screen instead of face to face.
Deliver a focused experience. Untrained associates—especially those who work on commission—might be overly focused on getting leads to like them and the facility. Or they may be overconfident about signing people up, so they spend the entire introduction talking about amenities and perks. This mission to impress is likely to have a bad ending: When associates put on a hard-sell hat and are ticking off a list of things to cover, they forget the lead's name, they're not listening and they try too hard. Instead, if they'll focus on the person in front of them, they won't have time to worry about their own nerves, their own anxieties or their own negative self-talk.
Common and effective objectives for managers, instructors, trainers and other facility staff might be to make the potential member feel comfortable, important, valued, respected, secure, safe and relaxed. You have a long list of objectives to choose from for the people who walk through your door. Here's how to pull from that pool of objectives and teach staff how to listen and deliver true focus and power.
During a staff meeting, invite two people to stand in front of the group; have one person act as the potential new member and the other be a sales associate. The "lead" role-player thinks of a "profile" to present—without making it obvious. The goal is for the sales associate to interact and make a good first impression while staying attentive and providing an authentic objective. For example, the lead decides to play a young mother who wants to carve out some time in her day for herself. The sales associate discovers this by asking targeted (not probing) questions and by listening. The objective may become to make the lead feel comfortable and confident, which in turn shifts the impression to autopilot positive!
Focus on someone else. The purpose of the exercise role-played above is to teach staff how to be service-oriented and how to take care of everyone who walks into the facility, whether a person signs up for a membership or not. That good first impression will pay off in one way or another. Remind staff on a regular basis that when we think about ourselves or about making a great first impression, we often forget names, interrupt, say the wrong thing, don't say enough, etc. This usually backfires. Encourage staff to think about other people's needs (including the needs of their teammates). Imagine the constructive conversation and growing trust between two people who both have the objective to make one another feel comfortable. Imagine an entire team thinking this way!
When their objective is to make a potential member feel relaxed, comfortable or confident, staff will be amazed at how much more relaxed they are and how appreciative the other person is. Keep quarterly track of how your staff is doing with this new approach, and watch as your retention rate climbs as the result of true service-oriented interactions.

Functioning models of a .30 Caliber machine gun used in and around WWII as training devices for soldiers. 75% larger than the real thing, and originally painted black and red, they were used in classrooms to teach soldiers how to dismantle and clean their weapons. We had this nickel and brass plated to give it this incredible look. There are some out there that are polished to the aluminum, but this is the only one in the world that is nickel plated. It was a grueling, six month process, but the finished product is a stunning piece of art. Mounted to a custom Stand with custom nickel and brass fittings to match the piece.

New York Times culture critic, foreign correspondent, and Abroad column author, Michael Kimmelman, will be returning from his post in Berlin this fall to serve as the paper's chief architecture critic. This follows the resignation last month of Nicolai Ouroussoff, who held the post since 2004.
In a staff release, the Times' deputy managing editor Jonathan Landman explains that Kimmelman's interests "have been 'in how we live, in how buildings actually work, in city planning, public policy, neighbors, communities and characters, in architecture as a complex and contradictory discipline, a true generalist's profession and synthetic art."
In his more than 20 years on the Times' staff, Kimmelman's coverage of architecture-related topics has included profiles of architects Oscar Niemeyer, Shigeru Ban, and Peter Zumthor. Additionally, he has reviewed works on Frank Lloyd Wright and baseball stadiums in New York for the New York Review of Books. His other work often revealed "culture as a window into ideas," Landman wrote, providing perspective on topics from a variety of places including Gaza, Syria, and Stockholm.
Most recently, Kimmelman has authored Abroad columns and Postcards, both of which he will continue under his new post.

The Song Remembers When
Trisha YearwoodBuy this song
I was standing at the counter I was waiting for the change When I heard that old familiar music start It was like a lighted match had been tossed into my soul It was like a dam had broken in my heart After taking every detour Gettin' lost and losin' track So that even if I wanted I could not find my way back After driving out the memory Of the way things might have been After I'd forgotten all about us The song remembers when We were rolling through the Rocky's We were up above the clouds When a station out of Jackson played that song And it seemed to fit the moment And the moment seemed to freeze When we turned the music up and sang along And there was a God in Heaven And the world made perfect sense We were young and were in love And we were easy to convince We were headed straight for Eden It was just around the bend And though I have forgotten all about it The song remembers when I guess something must have happened And we must have said goodbye And my heart must have been broken Though I can't recall just why The song remembers when Well, for all the miles between us And for all the time that's past You would think I haven't gotten very far And I hope my hasty heart Will forgive me just this once If I stop to wonder how on earth you are But that's just a lot of water Underneath a bridge I burned And there's no use in backtracking Around corners I have turned Still I guess some things we buried Are just bound to rise again For even if the whole world has forgotten The song remembers when Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten The song remembers when

How to Measure for Curtains:
Measure Width:
- If you have a pole, measure the distance between the finials (the decorative baubles at the end of a pole)
- If you have a track, measure the total length of the track
Measuring Curtain Drop:- Before you start, you have to decide where you want your curtains to finish. For floor-length curtains, we suggest curtains 1.5cm longer than floor-length. If your floors are uneven, make sure you measure each side of the window and choose the longest measurement. For sill length curtains, we suggest either 15cm below the sill or 1-2cm above it
Measuring Drop for Tab Top and Eyelet:
- For tab top or eyelet curtains, measure the drop from the top of your pole to where you want your curtain to finish. (Please note:tab top and eyelet headed curtains cannot be fitted to a track.)
Measuring Curtain Drop For Pleated Headings (all except Tab Top & Eyelet):- The total drop for pleated headings is measured in 2 parts - the eye drop and the heading height
Part 1. Eye Drop:
- This is the distance from the eye (where the curtain hook attaches) to where you want your curtain to finish
Part 2. Heading Height:- The heading height is the distance from the eye to where you want the top of your curtain to be
- For tracks, we suggest a heading height just above the top of your track so that it is not visible above the top of the curtain
- For poles, we suggest a heading height from 2cm above the eye to just above your curtain pole according to your own taste. Curtains will hang best with a smaller heading height
- The straps complimentary with the curtain may be different with the picture.
- Decorative straps are not included.

It will be critical during your years at UCSD to seek the advice and guidance of your advisers. They will help you stay on track with your curriculum and inform you of any changes in the curriculum or course offerings. Advisers will use UCSD email accounts to keep in touch with you so it's important to check your UCSD email every day and to keep it up to date so your mailbox doesn't fill up. If this happens, you will not receive important university messages.
Your 4 year curriculum plan for your MAE major lists all required courses. Transfer students should follow their 3 year curriculum plan. You must take them for a letter grade. You must also follow the grid as closely as possible since some classes are only offered once a year. If you have any questions, see an MAE adviser.
The MAE advising program runs parallel to the work of college advisors who assist students with the general-education requirements of each college.

Life-size terracotta statue by Andreus Boni of Milan, after the original by Eugenio Rados. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), one of the greatest scientists of all time, is pictured here holding a pendulum in his left hand. Galileo was one of the first people to recognise that the period of a pendulum was constant regardless of the arc of swing. He also discovered Jupiter's moons and the laws governing falling bodies.

Whether you are in law enforcement, a military organization conducting low visibility operations or a civilian, this video will give you a solid understanding of working in and around a vehicle.
Both instructional videos are now available streaming in UltraHD and HD.
The videos can be watched on a PC or Mac, mobile device via the Panteao Apple and Android Apps, or on your television from the Panteao Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV Channels.

Today I'd like to tell you all about our time at Epcot! I've always loved this park, even as a child...and I am so happy that Lincoln loves it as much as he does. One of his favorite rides ever is Spaceship Earth. I am really limited with what rides I can go on, so I am very happy he appreciates these slow moving rides. It's also an original ride from the park, and holds so much nostalgia. One of my favorite rides ever was Horizons. I'm still upset that one is no longer there.
Anyways, there's always lots to see and do at Epcot. One of the first things we did was hit the Character Spot. This is a great way to meet some great characters all in one shot! Mickey, Goofy, and Minnie were there to greet us. They used to have Pluto and Donald as well, but I think got the boot.
Lincoln had a blast with Mickey. He was wearing his Sorcerer hat, and Mickey took it off his head to wear it! Lincoln thought this was hysterical. Then Mickey showed Lincoln how to use his "sorcerer powers."
That is Disney magic! Avery was pretty skeptical of Mickey. He covered his eyes so he couldn't see him.
While there was no way Avery was going near Goofy, he did warm up to Minnie a bit. He even blew her a kiss when we were leaving.
Other favorite rides for the kids were Journey Into Imagination with Figment, a cute little ride...but I'm partial to the original. They also enjoyed The Seas with Nemo & Friends, and Lincoln loved racing around Test Track. We also rode Spaceship Earth 3 times total, because Lincoln enjoys it so much. We also viewed the new Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival. It's a fun 4D show that we all enjoyed.
While there aren't nearly as many rides at Epcot, there's still plenty to do...and absolutely a full-day park! My absolute favorite time to visit Epcot is at night. I love how Spaceship Earth looks lit up!
The World Showcase is great for all ages, and is a great way to talk a walk around the "world." Everyone loves to eat in Epcot, because there are so many different varieties of food. We actually had two different dining reservations throughout our trip. One in Italy, at Via Napoli...where you can indulge on the yummiest margarita pizza EVER!! And another day we ate in the United Kingdom at Rose & Crown for some tasty fish and chips!
Like I said, Epcot is a great park to walk around and take in the sites. We fully took advantage of our PhotoPass, and hit up all the photographers we could find. We got some wonderful shots.
I love this photo I snapped of my three boys. Definitely a framer :)

More About MeI am an adult person, but I am a small girl inside. I think it is very important to have a positive attitude to life. I am a very communicative person with a good sense of humor. I am a sensitive, tender, loving and serious person who has almost everything, but I miss a man who will fill my life with love. I am an open-minded person and I do not like when people lie or hide anything from a partner. If a woman is happy for her man, she will be the happiest person in life.
Ideal RelationshipIt would be great to meet a person who will value family relations. It is good when people have good friends or enjoy their work, but a family is like an oasis. I want him to have a wish to come back home and to be happy just because I am waiting for him. Talks, picnics, holidays, intimacy, attention, respect - I would like to share all this with my man.

Will Reading Fiction Turn Men Into Sissies? ~ By Sharon Lavy
This post first appeared on the WordServeWaterCooler blog and is borrowed with permission.
Sharon A. Lavy is best known in the Christian writing community, as that German Baptist lady. In the Old German Baptist community she's a dress-pattern maker, and the sister who writes. And in her own mind she's a wife, mother, grandmother, but above all a child of God. Her greatest desire is to be a woman after God's own heart.
Sharon has a heart for hurting women and writes women's fiction. In support of fellow writers she posts book reviews and author interviews on two blogs. She lives with her husband on a farm in SW Ohio. When not reading, writing, or sewing for her family, Sharon enjoys traveling with her husband in the small plane they named Charley.
Will Reading Fiction Turn Men Into Sissies?
Upon learning I'm a
novelist, many brethren (opposite of sisters) tell me they don't have time to
read, especially fiction. My brother-in-love, bless his heart, wants to write
"real books." My friend Torry Martin, who works for Adventures in Odyssey, doesn't have time to read fiction.
Hey, my grands
listen to Adventures in Odyssey. I've listened to the books on tape when
traveling with them. Okay, okay, that's not reading. But, it is fiction. It is
story. And, we get totally immersed in them.
So, this brings up a
question. Is fiction reading something only for women and children?
"Whatever the
reason, cognitive studies are beginning to show men might be short-shifting
themselves by avoiding the fiction section in the bookstore and library.
Today we make the case for why you need to put down those business books every
once in a while and pick up a copy of Hemingway."
Scientists have
discovered fiction stimulates and improves the functions that allow us to
survive in society. Unfortunately, men received the short end of the stick when
it comes to the ability to socialize.
"Most of your
success as a man," says Dr.
Keith Oatley, "whether
in love or work, depends on your ability to socialize adroitly. We've all heard
the phrase, 'Success depends not on what you know, but who you know.' As much
as you'd like to think that's not true, it is. You can be the most skilled and
talented whatever in the world, but you'll likely labor away in obscurity if
you don't know how to reach out and share those talents with others."
The brains of boys
and girls are the same in the womb, but a male brain changes at birth. (I
learned this from Dr. Gary Smalley. Didn't everyone?) In order to deal properly
in our world, and in our respective roles, most male brains are good at dealing
with stuff, while female brains are typically better at dealing with people.
While this might
explain why women often prefer fiction over non-fiction, men probably have the
most to gain from reading fiction.
Instead of seeing
fiction as a bunch of made-up, waste-of-time baloney, looking at it as a
simulator allows both men and women to exercise and strengthen the ability to
socialize. Men, every time you pick up and read a novel, you're molding
yourself into a better, more socially adept man.
Mystery novels
particularly exercise the mind. Whenever you read a Dashiell Hammett novel,
you're guessing right along with Sam Spade about what the subtle gestures or
the words really mean. Is the suspect or witness just saying something to throw
you and Spade off the trail? Reading fiction is wrestling with reading the
minds of the characters and taxing and fun at the same time. Literary critic,
Lisa Zunshine, says the mental workout you get from reading a detective story does
for the brain what lifting weights at the gym will do for your physical body.
When asked if there
is a special type of fiction that men should read, Dr. Oatley's response was to
read whatever interests you. The result is the same when reading highbrow Russian
novels or lowbrow dime paperbacks.
"Our studies show
that the effect fiction has on the mind is independent of literary quality,"
says Dr. Oatley.
He recommends
reading a wide variety of fiction, which allows us to get to know more people
in more circumstances.
"Read those
Louis L'Amour and Michael Crichton novels without any guilt. You're
helping yourself become a charismatic social-dynamo."
So, men (or
women ), what novels have you read
3 comments:
I confess to laughing at my hubs about his penchant for Louis L'Amour books (which I think of as cowboy romances...I mean, "L'AMOUR??"). But I know he does enjoy them for more than that. L'Amour was quite knowledgeable about a variety of things, many of which have fallen by the wayside now. That said, my husband will always prefer a biography to a novel.
I think we authors have to write more books that appeal to men and women. Rich emotional depth mixed with action and intrigue. And guys who talk like real guys, not best girlfriends! Yeah!
Great post!

Physical activity and the risk of breast cancer in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers

BRCA1/2 mutation carriers have a high lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Differences in penetrance indicate that this risk may be influenced by lifestyle factors. Because physical activity is one of the few modifiable risk factors, it may provide a target to add to breast cancer prevention in this high-risk population. We examined the association between self-reported lifetime sports activity and breast cancer risk in a nationwide retrospective cohort study, including 725 carriers, of whom 218 had been diagnosed with breast cancer within 10 years prior to questionnaire completion. We found a nonsignificantly decreased risk for ever engaging in sports activity (HR = 0.84, 95%CI = 0.57–1.24). Among women who had participated in sports, a medium versus low level of intensity and duration (i.e., between 11.0 and 22.7 mean MET hours/week averaged over a lifetime) reduced the risk of breast cancer (HR = 0.59, 95%CI = 0.36–0.95); no dose–response trend was observed. For mean hours/week of sports activity, a nonsignificant trend was observed (HRlow versus never = 0.93, 95%CI = 0.60–1.43; HRmedium versus never = 0.81, 95%CI = 0.51–1.29; HRhigh versus never = 0.78, 95%CI = 0.48–1.29; ptrend overall = 0.272; ptrend active women = 0.487). For number of years of sports activity no significant associations were found. Among women active in sports before age 30, mean MET hours/week showed the strongest inverse association of all activity measures (HRmedium versus low = 0.60, 95%CI = 0.38–0.96; HRhigh versus low = 0.58, 95%CI = 0.35–0.94; ptrend = 0.053). Engaging in sports activity after age 30 was also inversely associated with breast cancer risk (HR = 0.63, 95%CI = 0.44–0.91). Our results indicate that sports activity may reduce the risk of breast cancer in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

Domestic Quick Turnaound Sox Shirts
Article Link –> Chicago Tribune | After Sox victory, firms go to work
I'm in Chicago and saw this in the Trib. The World Series shirts are printed immediately after the winner is determined, which eliminates the waste of printing up shirts for both teams and having them shipped from China. It's no surprise that, for quick turnaround and just-in-time, there's no substitute for local production. Sure, the shirts were probably made a long time ago in Vietnam or another low-cost country, but the "postponement" strategy allowed the shirts to be finalized at the very last minute.
How would you organize and structure your business/factory if everything had to be done in such short to-order bursts?
