The weather down here has been very chilly, a cold front from Canada
they say. Yesterday we decided to look for a giant Flea Market that
we had heard about that is located in Mesa, which is about an hour south east of here. Mesa is considered part of Greater Phoenix and is southeast of Scottsdale that is also part of Phoenix. Jack and Lauren, the owners of the Black Canyon City KOA had given us a gift certificate for Applebees so first we stopped for lunch. Despite reading directions on the internet for the Flea Market, somehow we missed it. I had seen an interesting mountain range (Superstition Mountains) to the east and urged Fred to continue on. Fred is convinced that I had planned all along to sightsee rather than frequent a Flea Market. I guess the fact that I had brought along my camera was his rationale but anyone who knows me, knows also that I usually bring it with me. I never know where we'll end up and I hate seeing something interesting or beautiful and there I am wishing I had brought my camera along.
On the Apache Trail, opposite the Superstition Mountains, is the old mining town of Goldfield. We wandered through the town, watched cowboys stage a gunfight and mainly people watched. The town is your typical tourist stop offering food and drinks in the saloon, a
train ride, tour of the mine and the most visible building at the top of the hill is the "Bordello", now a museum. Close to Goldfield is Lost Dutchman State Park, named after a fabled gold mine. This park offers guided hikes as well as self-guided ones. There are easy hikes, moderate ones, difficult and very difficult ones. Theone that intrigues me is the 2.5 mile hike where hikers experience the sights and sounds of the desert under the silvery glow of the moon with a marshmallow roast to follow. We have already experienced full moons in the desert and it is unbelievably bright. The park also offers astronomy programs one evening a month.
We continued northeast along the Apache Trail and the topography here is much different than where our campground is located. As I was behind the wheel I had to concentrate on staying on the road as
there were many switchbacks and no guard rails. The scenery in Arizona varies so much that each road trip is an adventure and I look forward to the next one. I am also anticipating warmer weather so that we can have some great motorcycle rides.

An article on CNN Money seems to imply that Credit Card rewards programs will be decreasing. I mentioned at the beginning of the month that American Express would be changing their reward program. This may be a sign of things to come; it's possible that more card companies will follow suit.
Today's article says programs that award customers with "points" that can be redeemed for items through a catalog, like the one American Express offers, are being scaled back while the more popular cash-back reward programs are getting attention from the companies.
While the frequent flier reward cards may be a better deal, it's not appropriate for people who don't fly often or who don't charge enough to qualify for the rewards. A domestic flight might require $25,000 in charges a year, which is above what I put on my credit card, and I would think that it's higher that most other people's activity as well.
Here are a few questions to ask before you commit yourself to cash-back cards. "My card" is aCitiBank Dividend Platinum Select card, which I've had since switching from CitiBank's Upromise card.
* How much do you have to charge annually to qualify for any cash back? My card has no minimum charge amount and the cash back is calculated and accrued each month.
* What is the yearly cash back limit? My card has a $300 yearly limit.
* How do you redeem your cash? I can easily request a check to be sent to me via CitiBank's website.
Those are the only questions provided by the article, but here are some more you should consider.
* Is the cash back calculated as a percentage of your statement activity or your carried-over balance? If you pay your credit card balance in full every month like I do, you may receive no benefits depending on the program. My card pays on the statement activity, regardless of payments I make.
* Do they follow their own rules? If the program breaks down its rebate amounts based on type of merchandise or service (for example, 5% cash back for gas, 2% for restaurants and groceries, 1% for everything else), the vendor must identify itself to the credit card company as such. This doesn't always happen, so to make the most out of these programs, you must track your rewards and call the credit card's customer service if you're not receiving what you believe you should.

Samhain (Halloween) the witches' new year is this weekend. At this time we remember and honor our beloved dead. Pagans say that the veil between the living and the dead is thinner now than any other time of the year. I don't know whether that is true or not and I'm not concerned. I don't need to be sure that it really exists to be able to experience what it means, the same way that I'm not sure if my father's presence still exists, but I feel it anyway.
I'm grateful for this time to pause and remember my father. It's one of a few times of the year that I intentionally hold some time for that. In my family, grieving is frowned upon, discouraged. "Dad is in Heaven with Jesus" is the common refrain. Presumably that's supposed to be enough, but it isn't. Celebrating Samhain with my pagan friends offers me something special, even without believing or experiencing everything that is taught about this holiday. That's a marked difference from the Christian faith of my youth.
Christianity is a religion of divine laws ordering everything from gravity to gender roles to how far is too far to death and grief. I'm long burnt out on all of it. I'm certain that my family wants me, their loved one, to be welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven and to be Right with the Judge and to know the Comforter in this life. And it's unfortunately inevitable that they will have to leave me outside of Paradise, judged unfit, if I don't accept and participate in this invitation to believe, to subscribe to and abide by the religion's ordering of life. But I don't perceive or experience my life according to all those rules.
Today I am a lot more interested in experience, meaning, and relationships than I am in being right or righteous. I experience the material and relational. For example my body, the cinch and pull of my hips as I walk to the bus in the morning rain, the softness of the yoga mat under my fingertips, the weight and warmth of my son riding on my back. I find that I can still have a full, meaningful experience, and rich connections with people, even when I don't subscribe to all of the creeds of the particular spiritual path.
This may be one of the gifts of finding (choosing? accepting?) a spiritual path as an adult rather than a younger person. Lived experience has shown me what is important to me, what makes the world and my place in it make sense. I'm recognizing what methods of meaning-making convey meaning to me. The personal authority wrought of living grants me permission to accept and attempt the pieces that ring true and resonate with me. And I'm free to release and essentially reject the rest.
The judgey "should" voice in the back of my head is not ok with this. That voice says that I'm being selfish, self-centered, composing a buffet line spirituality that serves me, reflects me, reinforces me as is. And while that's possible, it doesn't have to be true. (Besides, I suspect that it's limiting and reinforcing me "as is" to host a voice in my head that always sees, assumes, and predicts the worst of me.) Rather, through the lens of life experience I'm choosing people and ideas that speak my language - and in that language support opportunities for growth or understanding, and present new challenges in a way that makes sense to me.
This year Samhain comes at a time in my life when I am inching my way through a phase of reinvention. I'm wrangling with understanding Autism, inhabiting more of my time parenting rather than at my job, renewing healthy habits for my body, trying to write, trying to meditate, trying to reconnect with friends, trying to find our Autism community… The holiday of Samhain is a powerful medium for honoring the ways of being that formed me but that I've set down and welcoming the new life that I am growing into.
So tomorrow evening I will gather with my pagan friends to celebrate Samhain. We will honor our beloved dead with candles, photos and tokens of their lives, sharing their names and what they mean to us. We will welcome new babies born into our communities this year. We will step into a new year through silent meditation and celebration with dancing and food. Much of it will speak to me and some of it will be extras to me that speak more clearly to someone else. But as a whole the ritual and the gathering of friends will carry me and challenge me at this time in my life, speaking to me in a language that makes sense, that is meaningful, to me.

Million Mile Secrets writes that there are hot deals on flights to Hong Kong right now available starting at around $496! I did a few searches and was able to find a lot of availability and great rates out of Chicago into Hong Kong on Air Canada. The next best rate was nearly double this price on United $812. I used Orbitz to search because you can easily see all fares and can search +/- 3 days to find flexibility in the itinerary. In one of the itineraries I searched, I found a cheap fare on Air Canada out of Seattle (with one stop) but there was a direct flight on Delta for only a couple hundred more, so that was good to see that option as an additional choice.

- Abstract:
Pulmonary hypertension (PAH) represents a frequent complication in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the impact of accelerated inflammatory status on the pulmonary vascular bed is still insufficiently studied. Objectives: The study of the PAH`s prevalence in patients suffering from COPD, its severity compared with lung function and the correlation with certain clinical, biological and functional parameters. Material and method: The study was performed on a group of 64 patients, average age 53 years, 42 of whom were men (65,62%), suffering from COPD who were admitted to the Emergency County Hospital Craiova, on the II-nd Medical Clinic, within a period of 18 months. When assessing the patients their clinical state was stable, without acute exacerbations items. The control group included 61 patients suffering from other diseases without inflammatory background, who were hospitalized in clinic in the same period. All the patients included in the study were evaluated by: physical examination, thoracic radiological examination, spirometry, inflammatory syndrome, echocardiography Doppler and oximetry. Results: The results of the study show a prevalence of 54.6 % PAH and a statistically significant impact of age, duration of the disease, Sa O2, inflammatory status, which was quantified in the study by ESR, serum levels of CRP and serum level of TNF alpha over the risk of developing COPD in patients suffering from PAH. Conclusions: The occurrence and the severity of PAH in patients suffering from COPD seems to be correlated with their age, duration of the disease, Sa O2 and serum levels of inflammatory markers.

Bahraini protesters have staged demonstrations across the tiny Gulf kingdom to express their outrage over death sentences and hefty prison terms handed down to opposition figures and political activists.
The demonstrators marched along the streets in the northern village of al-Musalla, denouncing the ruling Al Khalifah regime for the heavy-handed crackdown on the dissidents. They also voiced their solidarity with anti-regime activists.
The protesters also confirmed that the Manama regime's repressive measures would not deter them from pressing on with their democratic demands, noting that their perseverance would eventually lead to victory.

Single gunshots killed N.C. A&T students, autopsy reports say
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Two random bullets.
Two dead N.C. A&T students.
The N.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has released autopsy reports for Alisia Dieudonne, 19, of Homewood Ill., and Ahmad Campbell, 21, of Kitrell. Each died of a single gunshot wound, killed while at a house party near the campus.
The two attended a party about 2:10 a.m. Oct. 2, at Campus Evolution Villages apartments, 911 Circle Drive.
Gunshots erupted outside the apartments after the party host forced uninvited people to leave following a fight that didn't involve either student.
Bullets entered the apartment from outside, one each hitting Dieudonne, a sophomore computer science major, and Campbell, a junior agriculture and environmental systems major, according to the reports.
Police said the two students were "innocent bystanders" to a fight that broke out at the party.

Today's manufacturers of air conditioning systems make a special effort to design ACs that operate with a minimum amount of noise. Even the air conditioners made over a decade ago run with only a minor humming sound when the compressor comes on, and modern high efficiency systems work at almost a whisper.
So when an air conditioner does start to create a lot of noise, it's something you'll notice. But does all this racket mean that the AC is done and needs a replacement? Or is it a repair issue?
First, consider the age of the system
If you have an air conditioner that is more than 15 or 20 years old, it's already past its prime and ready to be replaced. Extremely noisy operation at this point is just the best way the air conditioner has to remind you that it's time to arrange for a new system installation.
Exactly what kind of sounds are you hearing?
If you don't have an extremely old AC, analyze the sounds that it's making. This will help you better understand what's going on. If you're only hearing a single loud noise, such as rattling or grinding, you're probably looking at a repair. Mechanical grinding and shrieking sounds often come from motors that are suffering from wear and tear and loss of lubrication. The motor may need a replacement, but the whole system probably won't. Rattling might be from a loose part, such as bolts and fasteners—or it could come from the compressor, which will need attention right away from professionals.
To be certain, contact HVAC technicians
The best people to make the call about whether your air conditioner needs repairs or a replacement are HVAC professionals. Only a trained technician can trace the sounds to their roots and then determine the best course of action. Sometimes it will be a repair, and other times the most cost-effective option is putting in a new system. (In general, any time a repair would cost half of the price of replacing the AC, replacement is the better choice.)

I would love to be convinced otherwise but I tend to think Mr. Cotton's view is correct. There won't be a "confiscation", the restrictions will continue to be more subtle and gradual and justified as "common sense", and therefore there won't be a mass resistance. And then at the end of the day the public will cave.
I have a great deal of faith in people who identify as Americans first, or at least as much as they identify as any other thing -- particularly in those who have studied American history and the associated western philosophy that made it possible. These folks value the underpinnings of our nation and will not likely "go quietly into the night". But are there enough of them(us) committed to do our part to turn society back toward the principles it was founded on?
I also have faith that there are vast swaths of our society who neither know nor value the precepts that our nation was founded upon. These are the same low-information individuals that see fit to elect un-Americans to office. They are also the ones who will applaud "law enforcement" all day long when the authorities trample individual liberty to "forward the Progressive agenda". The numbers in this camp grow daily due to constant hammering by the progressive propaganda machines -- the press and the education systems.
Without equally consistent messaging and education representing the principles that built this nation, the concepts of individual liberty and individual human rights may soon be lost in favor of "the greater good". The path we are on (Collectivism) inevitably produces neither greater nor good for individuals that are the governed. Remember the three boxes of a free man -- soap, ballot and cartridge. Raise your voices where and when you can, vote your conscience whenever you have a chance, and prepare for both better times and worse.
I don't have that faith in the American public. All I have to do is look at some of my own family members to know that we have an uphill battle.

The Board of the Indo-American Kashmir Forum (IAKF) held a meeting to discuss the outcome of the extraordinary Indian elections and its likely impact on US-India relations.
The Board noted with great satisfaction that the world's largest democracy had provided its peoples – irrespective of their religion, linguistics, caste and creed – an opportunity to exercise their franchise equally, freely and openly. The result provided a landslide mandate for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a personal triumph for the party's designated prime-ministerial candidate, Mr. Narendra Modi. With a clear majority in the Parliament, BJP will be able to implement much needed economic reforms to rejuvenate the economy and create jobs for youth, and also implement effective policies to curb corruption, improve quality of governance and strengthen national security, including regarding political matters dealing with the insurgency-infested State of Jammu and Kashmir.
The IAKF Board congratulates BJP and Mr. Modi as they embark on reshaping the future of the 1.2 billion people of India.
The IAKF Board is also thankful to the U.S. President and several members of the U.S. Congress who have congratulated Mr. Modi via phone. The President must take many steps to improve the relationship with India in general, and with Mr. Modi in particular. Even though Mr. Modi will now receive a visa under the "A Category" if he were to travel to the U.S., the President must issue an Executive Order to annul the prior decision of the U.S. State Department that blacklisted Mr. Modi under dubious and unsubstantiated charges brought up by vested civil society elements within the U.S. and India. The charges against Mr. Modi have not been substantiated even though the incumbent Indian Government conducted multiple criminal investigations against Mr. Modi. The Supreme Court of India has also exonerated him from any wrong doing. This proves that such unsubstantiated charges were politically motivated, and all decisions taken by the U.S. State Department based on unproven charges must be retroactively withdrawn as a demonstration of a strong relationship between the U.S. Government and the new Indian Government.

In mid-September 2013, one of the worst floods in Colorado, USA's history occurred, covering a range of 200 miles from north to south across 17 counties and affecting 2,380 square miles. The flooding took eight lives, over 11,000 people were evacuated, nearly 18,000 homes were damaged, and more than 1,500 homes were destroyed. Many people were stranded in mountainous areas and had to be rescued by helicopters. With heartfelt concern, Supreme Master Ching Hai requested our Association members to please go help those affected and reimbursed US$8,317 for funds used to render assistance. Our relief team from San Francisco traveled to Colorado to provide aid and share Master's love.
On September 16, our relief team visited several temporary shelters in Colorado to deliver food and supplies. Over 1,700 pounds of vegan frozen food was given to Journey Christian Church and the Weld Food Bank in Greeley. For the Timberline Church in Fort Collins, where more than 300 displaced people were staying, requested items such as blankets, socks, refillable drinking bottles and sanitary supplies were purchased. According to the wish list provided by the Longmont Humane Society, they were overcrowded with many dogs and cats in need. Detergents and toys were purchased. Also, US$1,460 cash from the relief fund was contributed to help with the shelter's future expenses.
On behalf of Master's deep concern for the well-being of vulnerable individuals, our team expressed deepest sympathies to all those affected by the Colorado flood, and sincerely wished them a quick recovery.

My Love and I had lived in our San Francisco apartment since June, the month before we wed, in 1977. I had found this place while driving up and down the streets looking for 'For Rent' signs once we knew we would both be attending San Francisco State University for the Fall semester. It was directly across from Golden Gate Park, with a view of the ocean and the biggest down side was living in the fog most of the time. Still on quiet nights we could hear the fog horn blowing. It reminded me of times out sailing on a calm socked in fog night when all you would hear was the lap of water on the sides of the boat while listening for the deep 'BUUUUAAAAAA!' sound of the fog horn letting you know how far land was.
Of course this perfect apartment would be on the top floor with no elevator. We had a front row view from our bedroom windows as well as from the huge bay window in the living room of Golden Gate Park. We gazed at trees that stood strong and inpenetrable as though looking out on Sherwood Forest from the times of Robin Hood. Yes, there were Merry Men amongst the growth below those trees. I was warned by an officer on horseback while out jogging that it was not wise of me to do this as women had been raped or robbed in the hidden trails that wove in and out of the roads that ran through the park. My Love and I tried jogging together, or attempted to try, but he with his long legs ran circles around me. Our dear Arleen and Clark had let us use their lovely Oriental carpets on the hardwood floors which as much as we enjoyed using them we would have rather that they had not moved away prompting a need for a place for them to be stored. We had a charming breakfast room with a built in hutch with glass doors and the tiniest kitchen with oddly plenty of cabinets. I had a large old-fashion gas range that kept it cozy warm in there and was wonderful for cooking on. Unfortunately I was not the best cook for my Love. We did the laundry along with what felt like everyone else up the street at the nearest laundromat while we read the Sunday paper hopefully finding a place to sit while we waited.
Up the street from us was the home of Jefferson Airplane. We never happened to see them even though they still owned the house. It stood out due to the faded black paint color and oddly covered windows while we lived in the neighborhood giving it a forlorn and rundown look. We were close to the Haight which was a pretty seedy neighborhood in the 70's so we rarely ventured there. Our neighborhood was called the "Richmond District" with many small and unique ethnic restaurants and shops. It was so cheap to eat out for two that we spoiled ourselves often by trying them whenever we could. From Russian food at the "Miniature Bakery" we tried Borshcht and Pelmeni where the Babooshka who waited on us scolded me for not eating all my food.
|Jefferson Airplane home
We went to Chinatown often to browse the shops and bakeries but for us our favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant was Henry's Hunan Restaurant. Small, with just a few closely placed tables, we chose to sit at the bar which filled the length of the place, while Henry himself helped cook and made suggestions of what to try. Hot, fiery peppers made the dishes tasty as well as cleared your sinuses that only subsided the heat for me with a 7-Up and a beer for my Love. If we sat at the end of the counter we could watch the help making the dumplings or chopping chicken with a cleaver knife. My Papa came to love this food and it's proprietor whom opened a larger restaurant several years later. Our personal all time favorite was the Smoked Ham dish that is unlike any Hunan or Chinese dish I have ever had. To this day we always order it. No argument over it except there is never enough. Oh yes, their Steamed Dumplings are simply the best we have ever tasted!

Another haunt we had enjoyed for years was Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store where we could get a great authentic Cappuccino served in a real cup no less with a small biscotti to dunk in it. In the back was a foosball table that you could play on for free. It was always crowded with all sorts of people from old Italians from the neighborhood to young folks like my Love and I, all there to warm up in on a cold San Francisco evening. San Francisco was an easy place to explore and parking was cheap once upon a time. We could park in the Police lot that straddled the old Italian area and Chinatown for a buck an hour. Perpendicular to these neighborhoods was the raunchy area of strip clubs, hawkers yelling for you to come in for the shows, flashing neon lights and streets often crowded with Sailors on leave for the night. Amongst them were the folks who lived in the apartments above this jungle. Such contrasts in such a small area.
|Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store
My Love's brother found this crazy place called Cafe Sport that was also in North Beach. The inside of the place was as much a feast for the eyes as the food was for our stomachs. Every dish was filled with garlic and their specialties were seafood dishes. We always went with a large group so we could order as many dishes as possible. We would get so excited thinking about what the dish would taste like as we scanned the menu. Wine would flow as we waited for the waiter to come. There dinner times were seatings so everyone had to sit down before the food frenzy would begin. The standing joke however was that once we would start telling the waiter what we wanted he would often say they were out of it. We would pick another dish and it could be available or it too could not. What ended up happening was the waiter would tell us what we were getting! It didn't really matter because the food was so good the mood jubilant that we just waited till each dish arrived to devour. We would walk out of the place reeking of garlic for the next several days.

text: Mass Effect: Redemption will be available on the iTunes App Store. To celebrate its release, Dark Horse and EA have announced the issue will be free for a limited time. How limited is the "free digital comic" window? One day only. After February 3, the digital release is bumped up to 99 cents. Of course, if you're a Mass Effect 2 fanatic you probably own the collectors' edition, which included a mini-version of the first issue. But, if you love moving pictures, a free digital comic is a hard thing to ignore.

According to AGB Nielsen Media Research, the episode's broadcast at 11PM on Oct 2 earned ratings of 1.42% (among households with cable TV), reaching ratings as high as 2.05%, topping ratings among other cable TV programs of the same time slot.
In the first episode of "Vampire Prosecutor," a young girl in an orphanage was found dead while she was waiting for her adoption. Bite marks on her bleeding neck suggest the possibility of her being killed by a vampire, as investigations into the murder began. Vampire prosecutor Min Tae Yeon (Yeon Jung Hoon) gets to work on the case, finding clues with his special "psycho-mentary" ability, which enables him to visualize the murder scene from the victim's point of view after tasting the blood of the victim.
As the truth unfolded, the tension of the drama is heightened also by the dynamic camerawork and stylish visuals of director Kim Tae Sung (Bow, The Ultimate Weapon, 2011). One of the scenes most praised among viewers were the car chase and explosion scenes defining Prosecutor Min Tae Yeon's transformation into a vampire.
Also well-received were the on-screen pairing of Yeon Jung Hoon with Lee Young Ah, who is Yoo Jung In, the female prosecutor always at (loving) odds with Min Tae Yeon, as well as the presence of veteran actors such as Lee Won Jong, who takes on the role as the muddle-headed crime squad detective Hwang Soon Bum.
Comments from viewers include "Vampire Prosecutor is a hit! The screen effects and acting skills are fantastic," "This is a shocking and fresh drama never been seen before in Korea," "I'm going to look forward to every Sunday night from now on," "This is a re-discovery of Yeon Jung Hoon. He has transformed into the perfect Korean vampire ever."

I bought a gelding that lived in Missouri since he was a year old and he was 13 when I bought him, we moved him to our house about 20 miles down the road. In the spring he developed hives, we were in and out of the vet clinic often because they got so bad. This went on every May-September for about 2 1/2 years until I met a vet at a racetrack and he told me to try ACTH. Since giving the ACTH he has not had hives. I had to work with my local vets to get the ACTH, I ended up getting it from Wedgewood pharmacy.

24-carat Tendulkar
The London-based East India Company has released a limited-edition legal tender coin commemorating the career of Sachin Tendulkar. The 24-carat gold coin weighs precisely 200g - to mark the 200 Test matches that Tendulkar played - has the number 187 on it - to mark his Test cap number - and only 210 of them - for unspecified reasons - will go on sale for £12,000 each.
"We had been talking to Tendulkar since last December as we thought it would be the best way to immortalise an exceptional career spanning over 24 years," said Sanjiv Mehta, CEO of the East India Company, speaking to Gulf News. "There were some delays in the way as we had to secure the rights for producing it from the Commonwealth currency issuing authority but it was worth the wait."
Mehta added that the company would also mint coins in "one ounce, one-fourth ounce gold and half-an-ounce silver".
Apart from an autographed bat and a helmet, the coin face also features the Gateway of India to symbolise his hometown Mumbai.
"All my life, I have had a dream of playing cricket for India," Tendulkar said. "I am very fortunate to have lived this dream for the last 24 years. I am honoured to be recognised with the issue of these special coins, which have been impressively designed with a lot of thought."

Cause Related Marketing
Department of Economic and Social Sciences
Cause-related marketing
Written by Tryashina Daria, 3rd year student
Date : May 20,2008.
Altruism. Corporate responsibility. Philanthropy. These words are often used to describe cause-related marketing, an activity in which businesses join with charities or causes to market an image, product, or service for mutual benefit.Embracing a cause makes good business sense. Nothing builds brand loyalty among today's increasingly hard-to-please consumers like a company's proven commitment to a worthy cause. Other things being equal, many consumers would rather do business with a company that stands for something beyond profits.Cause-related marketing can positively differentiate your company from your competitors and provide an edge that delivers other tangible benefits, including: Increased sales, increased visibility, increased customer loyalty, enhanced company image, positive media coverage etc. These rationales have been strong enough to ensure a rapid growth of the practice, driven by willingness of consumers to reward socially responsible behavior and give preference, at least all else equal, to companies that contribute to various public goods. In the growing literature on economics of philanthropy relatively little attention is paid to an increasingly popular business strategy, known as cause-related marketing (CRM), when commercial firms tie to their brands and products contributions to charitable causes. At the beginning of my working on the course paper, CRM seemed something inadmissible to me. I could not accept mixing marketing and charity, lust for the profit and a helping hand. But after looking deeper in the problem, after studying the cases of cause-related marketing campaigns I made up my mind. If that is the most attractive way of helping the indigent, then why not everybody turn into CRM, no matter what is their driving motive.
In this paper I will explain the main goals and forms of CRM, its advantages and disadvantages and also set a few examples of CRM campaigns.
Corporations and philanthropy
In the early-to-mid twentieth century US corporations were often making generous contributions to charitable causes. Corporate giving was motivated by the recognition of the key role of large companies in the economy and society, and thus their responsibility for social progress and welfare. These sentiments were later reinforced by environmental concerns, growing inequality, protests against exploitation of domestic and foreign labor, etc. In response to such societal pressures, companies pledged "socially responsible" behavior – a broad concept that provides, inter alia, for sizeable, at times massive, corporate donations.
However, corporate philanthropy raises serious questions that were put forcefully by Milton Friedman in his henceforth famous 1970 diatribe of the practice1. Friedman argued that corporations' sole business was business, and thus corporate social obligations should be restricted to those before the shareholders, and to the compliance with laws and government regulations. This view doesn't leave room for corporate contributions to charitable causes.
Rationales of philantropy
To better appreciate the economic underpinnings of Friedman's critique, one should invoke rationales for philanthropy. The latter usually fall into two main categories. First, donors could directly benefit, alongside the rest of society, from the supported public goods. The power of this incentive for private provision of public goods is however limited due to free riding; besides, this rationale cannot explain often observed contributions to "remote" causes which have no immediate bearings upon the benefactor. The second explanation is an altruistic one, when donors find satisfaction from the very act of giving and their involvement in...

This is something I wrote out a while back. I didn't do much refurbishing, sorry if it comes across a little odd. However, the quirkiness of it is one of the things I like about my younger self.
Chain Letters
We don't get those letters in the mail anymore, or at least, I don't get them in the mail anymore. I never did, though. From way back in 1905, Mr. Webster (my dictionary) brings us the definition: "A letter sent to several person with a request that each send copies of the letter to an equal number of persons."
Like I said, we don't get these anymore. A lot of the ones you hear about, or read about say something about if you don't, you'll have bad luck, or some other nonsense. And probably, a lot of people don't even think about 'bad luck' anymore, so this wouldn't work on them anyway.
However, there are still quite a few 'chain letters' around. Who here has seen this one? "95% of teens and pre-teens won't stand up for Christ. If you are one of 5% that will, add this to your signature."
As soon as I saw that, I knew that I was never going to use that. In my entire life. There was absolutely no reason to do it. While this doesn't promise bad luck, or anything like that, it does something else. It makes you feel guilty. "Oh, I must not be standing up for Christ if I don't add this to my signature! Well, no, that's not how it works. You see, there are plenty of ways to stand up for Christ, even over email. e.g., add a Bible verse praising Christ. Or a worship song verse. Or something. But you don't need to make yourself and other feel guilty just to spread some person's 'chain letter.'
This isn't the only example. Who's read a really touching email, and at the bottom it's said "Send this to ten people you want to bless." All the sudden, you feel as though you need to think of ten people you want to bless. You wanna bless them? Go ahead, send them the email. Just delete that part that's not needed. The 'send this on,' comment.
Also, just as a warning, don't do this with the CC (Carbon Copy). That will show the recipients to anyone who received it. Please use BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) This will hide the recipients from the other recipients. And, if the message is forwarded from a forward forwarded several times, have the decency to delete all that excess of email addresses. No one needs to have those, except close friends. And usually, the first person who sent the email is unknown to the third group of people it's sent to.
Also, check the content. Is it really worth sending on? Now, things like funny photos, or stupid things people do (Such as this warning on Nytol Sleep Aid: Warning, may make you drowsy. (Wait, why am I taking this?)) usually are fine to send on, especially if the person has had a bad day, and needs something to laugh at. But an uplifting message, well, make sure it's Biblically correct. Because a lot of things you get aren't. If you're on the receiving end of one of the emails, check it out for yourself, then reply with a rebuttal, as well as a message to 'send it on.' This is also where doing it BCC comes in handy. The only person who can see the reply is the one who sent it to you, and you don't have to deal with hundreds of angry people asking 'Who is this person, and why did you have to send it to them?'
Now, please send the link to this message to ten people you want to help.

today i was on the dundas streetcar heading west. while we were stopped at spadina, waiting for everyone to get on and the light to change, the driver came storming toward the back of the car and yelled at someone sitting a few seats away from me, shouting that he wanted him off his car. i had my headphones on and wasn't able to pause my podcast fast enough to hear everything, but it sounded like the driver was upset about the guy having walked in front of the streetcar in a dangerous way? why he wouldn't be allowed on because of that, i have no idea, but the driver was insistent. after they argued about it for 30 seconds or so, the driver said something to the effect of, "i'll get someone to get you off if i have to," and walked back toward the front of the car, presumably to call ttc security.
it's possible the security call was a bluff, but the passenger in question seemingly didn't want to take any chances — he hesitated for a few seconds, then, realizing that he'd the streetcar wasn't going anywhere until he got off, walked up to the front and delivered a few more choice words to the driver before he got off. "have a good day, sir!" the driver called, shutting the door behind him. pretty exciting stuff.

Winston Churchill is probably the most famous man in modern British history. His powerful oratory helped hold the spirit of a nation together at a time when all seemed lost. He is a hero of almost indescribable magnitude, but also a scone-gobbling thief…
He is famous for clever quotes like this, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
Who was that girl? What did she say during tea that day?
Jennifer Claridge, head gardener at Chatterly Castle in Sussex, England is publishing her memoirs, online, in her blog. She wrote about an encounter she had with Churchill when she was a young girl, recently hired on at the Castle.
Ms Claridge recounts from her diary.
Written June 2nd, 1940:
Winston Churchill came for tea today. He's an old mucker of Lord Cavendish (they were both rusticated from Harrow for liberating the school goat and letting it loose in the Gymnasia!) Lord C introduced us as my wonderful gardening girls and S and I went as red as apples.
…weeds were our enemy, and we shall fight them on the beaches, and on the land, we shall fight them in the fields and in the hills. We shall never surrender…
…we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…
A small conversation at tea, with a burdened and troubled leader became a highlight in a young girl's life. Her simple words, uttered with conviction, made such an impact on the Prime Minister that he repeated them…
Or in Miss Claridge's words:
The very cheek of it! Scone-gobbling, knocker-twanging thief! He's just delivered MY speech to House of Commons…
Learn more about Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
|Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was a British politician known chiefly for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He served as Prime Minister from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, historian, writer, and artist. He was the only British Prime Minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature and the first person to be recognised as an Honorary Citizen of the United States.

More Ahhh.
Aloha from Hapuna Beach. That's the Big Island of Hawai'i and it's the place to be. Could you tire of it? Mabye. If so, then go inland for a few days and experience all there is to see and do. Ski – as in snow ski? Yep. The Big Island's got it. Mauna Kea is the place to watch the stars and see the snow on Hawai'i. With so much to do, I'd best get planning my 08 excursion. TWO weeks – and that's without a bicycle (well, I'll rent a mountain bike and see some off-road sites). In 2007 I replaced the Hawai'i trip with a Yamaha 150 (go figure) – not again. The great state of mind known as Aloha is on the docket from here on – some how, some way, even for a few days. And when I move there I'll need a great gas mileage transporter. Ride on.
One response
Dear David,
Wow, wow, wow, wow,…I can't stop looking at your photos. I googled and googled and googled, looking for photos to enhance our ResorticaHawaii.com website, and yours were by FAR the best I found anywhere.
Finding a "lovely" beach scene on the Big Island, one that says, "Welcome to Paradise" is not easy; Big Island beaches are lovely in their own way, but you have captured them larger than life. I am especially enthralled with this one, and would ask your permission to use it.
I am creating an electronic flyer to send out to people regarding our luxury condomoniiums, and am begging for use of one (or more) of your photos on our flyer. I would, of course, give credi….and what else would you ask? Can we afford your wonderful talent? It certainly is the calibre we seek in serving our customers. Please let me know if it would be possible.
email me, and I'll gladly send you a look at what I'm creating.
Loving aloha, Julia Fairchild

Countertop Water Filters
Give Yourself a Chance to Have Control Over Water Purification with a System Placed Right Next To Your Kitchen Sink!
Countertop filters are popular among homeowners to fulfill the requirements of pure and clean water in the kitchen. These filters offer considerable convenience and advantages and you can get clean and healthy water from your kitchen faucet. When you decide to get a countertop filter, you don�t need to worry much if you have space constraints on your kitchen counter.
Unlike other huge water filter units, these systems can be fitted easily to your kitchen faucet and require minimum space. The installations do not require plumbing changes and you can proceed with the process on your own without the need of specialized tools. You will no longer have cluttered space but a stylish and aesthetic filter that makes your kitchen looks neat and tidy.
Countertop filters feature single units and are also available in double and triple filter units. You can choose a system that suits your style. A majority of the filters contain carbon cartridges which are easily replaceable to make sure you get a healthy water supply for long. The countertop filters are easy to install and maintain. You get clean and healthy water with a gentle push of a button.
You get tremendous advantages with the use of a countertop filter. The efficient filter system removes a number of contaminants from drinking water including chlorine, chlorine treatment by-products, heavy metals such as lead, chemicals such as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ethers) ,THMs (Tetra Halomethanes), cysts and giardia to make your water healthier and taste better.
The installation of these filters completes within minutes and the system is very easy to maintain. Filter media or cartridges contained in the filter system need to be replaced when the manufacturers filtering capacity has been used up. As the countertop filters provide clean water directly from the tap, you don�t have to worry about accidental spills on your kitchen counter.
Typically the water supply coming to your home contains concentrated chlorine and related by-products of water treatment procedures. Sometimes the water appears to be cloudy and may be accompanied with fine particles or sediments which appear suspended in your glass when you fill it with unfiltered tap water. The water supply may also be contaminated with synthetic chemicals such as pesticides and other industrial effluents which are extremely hazardous for your health.
Most countertop filter systems use multiple cartridges to provide you with better protection against the harmful contaminants. These systems utilize activated carbon filters which trap many unwanted particles, sediments, particles and other impurities thus improving the water�s taste, smell and appearance while making it cleaner and healthier for use.
Some advanced countertop filter systems utilize ion exchange resins and micro-pore filters to trap heavy metals and microbial contamination in water. If you are a concerned homeowner, you just cannot take tap water in your kitchen for granted. You may use bottled water for drinking but imagine the contamination in your meals, dishes, glassware, fruits and vegetables that are all exposed to unfiltered water. Remember, the water may look clear but can be extremely unclean. There are contaminants which can damage your health but produce no significant changes in taste, smell, and appearance of water. You may remain unaware of their presence but your health is at risk. The use of countertop filters gives you a chance to put away these hidden dangers for good.
Carbon filter cartridges perform their function of water purification by the process of adsorption. The chemicals and contaminants stick or bond to the surface of the activated carbon cartridges, thereby removing impurities. This leaves you with water that tastes and smells great and is also good for your health.
Countertop filters may combine different filter mediums to purify drinking water from a wide range of contaminants. Having a fine porous filter gives the advantage of better removal of microbial growth and cysts that cause stomach upsets. The effectiveness of the system is related to the number of filter media present. In general, the more number of filters, the better will be the protection as water needs to go through additional filters which will remove even the finest particles.
You should replace the filter cartridges in the countertop filters as directed by the manufacturer to make sure your filter provides optimal performance for long. The process of cartridge replacement is simple and you can do it on your own. You should clean your filters (i.e. run water) for at least two to three minutes after every replacement to wash off extra carbon particles. You can enjoy crystal clear water in your kitchen at all times with a countertop filter in place.

What must your young life be like if your mother is a famous author and her books are based on you and your triplet sisters?
Excitement at being famous? A close family? A financially secure present and past?
What if you grow up and still that millstone of a few famous books when you were child carries on into adulthood? And you are the only one keeping your mothers past and actually your mother alive?
This is the story of Quinn who has escaped all of this and lives on a roundabout?.A roundabout near a motorway service station which is his whole world. Where he scavenges for food, drink and friendship. He knows all the workers and they know him. Even if he tries to keep a low profile.
Imagine what would happen if the press got hold of where he lived and the conditions he lived in? The legacy of being Quinn the boy in those infamous childhood books would suddenly be the most important thing? Can Quinn avoid anyone knowing the real truth about him?
This book reminded me of the hearsay about the author Enid Blyton and her rather difficult relationships with her own children. It seems her legacy was a not a nice one for her offspring. This seemed to be the same with Quinn and his sisters, who escaped rather quickly when old enough and have been fairly disjointed from each other for the rest of their lives. At times I found it was quite painful to read when you see how the mother reacts to her own children and it did not make sense when they took in foster children. The past that Quinn had was rather painful and it has obviously affected his adult life which Clare Morrall dealt with well and in surprising ways; hence the title of the book.
I found the writing a bit odd to begin with it goes back between the past and present and it was not always clear where the division was and the added excerpts of the books made it a book you did need to concentrate on. It took some time to get used to the writing but once I did I was drawn in to the is world. Morrall brought to life the service station and you could well imagine someone living there and getting away with it for a long time. The anonymity of a place which is just somewhere where people simply pass through, nothing else.
This is a book is slow throughout but not in a detrimental way, it is not supposed I feel to have page turning moments and heart stopping twists and turns. It is a story of a family and how they exist and survive with a past.
This was a book I would not have picked up if it was not for the wonderful blogs that I read where I first spotted it. It was different, I was captured by the idea of a man living on a roundabout. Also once I started reading I was drawn into the world of being famous almost by default and the impact that can possibly have on you.
A very different read that doesn't fit easily into any category and cannot be summed up as a book about one particular genre or aimed at a particular audience. It is aimed at anyone who likes reading quite simply. I am intrigued about what Clare Morrall's other novels are like and will add her name to the every growing list of people to read.

At the time of the publication of this article,  U.S. Reaffirms Support for Natural Growth of Settlements was also published. Remember, the Oslo Accords were signed in 1995. Netanyahu was following the course set by both Allon and Sharon. PM Barak violated this Plan at Camp David in 2001 by reducing Israel's demand to about 6% of the land and offering to share Jerusalem. Three years later when Sharon was maneuvering for Disengagement, he indicated that his preference for Judea and Samaria was as it was. Obviously the Arabs have been very successful in shifting the focus of discussion to the '67 lines. Ted Belman
Foundations for Middle East Peace 1997
Some weeks ago Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat exclaimed in frustration, "I don't know what Netanyahu wants."
Well, now he does. Publication of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "secret" map for the division of the West Bank between Israel and the Palestinians clearly establishes Netanyahu's preferences as he pushes the Oslo process into addressing the core problems of Jerusalem, settlements, water, and refugees. The map says nothing about the hapless Gaza Strip, where Israel remains in control of 30 percent of the territory.
There are two ways to analyze the publication of the so-called secret map at this time—by assessing the meaning of its publication in the context of current diplomacy and the Israeli preferences that the map reflects.
Whatever the map details, its appearance now is yet more proof that the Oslo process has moved irrevocably away from the framework of the "interim period" reconfirmed by Israel, the U.S., and the Palestinians as recently as the Hebron agreement earlier this year.
Netanyahu is implementing his long-held intention to refashion a process inherited from his predecessors one year ago. He is now focusing on developing proposals for final status issues, directing the momentum of diplomacy and moving the agenda away from "further redeployment" and toward Jerusalem, the settlements, and his "Allon-Plus" plan for territorial compromise on the West Bank. If settlement construction at Jebel Abu Ghneim (Har Homa) was described by Netanyahu as "the beginning of the battle for Jerusalem," a battle he had no intention of losing, this map signals the beginning of the battle over the borders of "Greater Israel." (See map page 3.)
"Allon-Plus" Map
Netanyahu's map maintains fidelity to a number of long-standing Israeli geostrategic principles outlined in the Allon Plan; Ariel Sharon's "A Vision of Israel at Century's End," published in 1977; and the "Peace Map" of the Third Way political party issued last year. According to the principles, "defensible borders" for Israel and its strategic superiority throughout the territory require these factors:
- Israeli sovereignty in a 15 km wide belt including the Jordan Valley and its western mountain ridge and in the Judean Desert running west from the Dead Sea (except for a small area running north of Ayn Fashka).
Expansion of the territorial bridge between Jerusalem and the Mediterranean coast by widening Israeli sovereignty northwest of the city to the settlement of Beit Horon and south to the Etzion Bloc.
Expansion of metropolitan …read more

United States District Court, Fourth Circuit
August 9, 2013
FLAUBERT MBONGO, et al., pro se Plaintiffs,v.JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., et al. Defendants.
PETER J. MESSITTE, District Judge.
Flaubert Mbongo and Charlotte Dikongue ("Plaintiffs"), pro se, have sued JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Defendants") for breach of contract (Count I), breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (Count H), and promissory estoppel (Count III), alleging that Defendants wrongfully denied them a trial period plan (TPP) that would have given them an opportunity to qualify for a modified mortgage under the federal Home Affordable Modification Program ("RAMP"). Plaintiffs have moved for summary judgment on all counts [Paper No. 20], and Defendants have cross-moved for summary judgment on all counts [Paper No. 30].
For the following reasons, Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED, and Defendants' Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED.
Plaintiffs fell on hard times and were rendered unable to make the mortgage payments on their home in Silver Spring, Maryland.[1] On April 3, 2010, they contacted Defendant banks to request modification of their mortgage under HAMP, a federal initiative intended to avoid foreclosures by creating incentives for the modification of outstanding mortgage loans.
Plaintiffs allege that they received a letter dated July 9, 2010 from Defendants stating that, if they met the eligibility criteria, including submitting all of the required documentation, they would be offered a TPP, i.e. a three month or longer trial period in which borrowers make payments under modified payment terms. If Plaintiffs were offered a TPP, and if they complied with the TPP agreement and if their representations remained true and correct, they would be offered permanent modification of their mortgage.
Plaintiffs allege that during the thirteen months following the initial invitation letter, they sent in all the required documentation numerous times. They submit that their documentation was met by continuous letters from Defendants telling them that they would be considered for a TPP if they sent in the required documentation. Then, on November 29, 2010, say Plaintiffs, they were told for the first time that they were being denied modification because of their failure to send in required documentation. However, on December 28, 2010 and again on February 1, 2011, Plaintiffs were allegedly invited by Defendants to once again apply for a HAMP modification. Plaintiffs claim that the same cycle ensued as before, in which the Banks' repeated requests for documentation were met with prompt submissions of the requested documentation. But on April 20. 2011, Plaintiffs were told for a second time that they were being declared ineligible for a TPP because of a failure to send in the requested documentation. Despite receiving yet another invitation from Defendants to apply for HAMP, Plaintiffs suggest they had grown exasperated with their futile back-and-forth with Defendants and therefore filed suit against them in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. The case was removed to this Court on the basis of federal question and diversity jurisdiction and is presently before the Court on dispositive motions.
Summary judgment is appropriate when there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact, and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23 (1986). A dispute of fact is genuine "if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 252 (1986). Summary judgment may be granted against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the elements essential to the party's claim and on which the party will bear the burden of proof at trial. Celotex Corp., 477 U.S. at 322.
In considering a motion for summary judgment, the Court must "draw all justifiable inferences in favor of the nonmoving party." Masson v. New Yorker Mag., Inc., 501 U.S. 496, 520 (1991) (citing Anderson, 477 U.S. at 255). However, it is the "affirmative obligation of the trial judge to prevent factually unsupported claims and defenses from proceeding to trial." Bouchat v. Baltimore Ravens Football Club, Inc., 346 F.3d 514, 526 (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Drewin v. Pratt, 999 F.2d 774, 778-79 (4th Cir. 1993), and citing Celotex Corp., 477 U.S. at 323-24).
Plaintiffs ask for summary judgment on all three of their claims against Defendants: (1) breach of contract, (2) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (3) promissory estoppel. Defendants have filed a cross-motion for summary judgment on all these claims.
The Court finds that Plaintiffs have not demonstrated that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law because the facts they allege establish no cognizable cause of action. Defendants' Cross-Motion ...

My Holiday
I was upset because I wouldn't see my best friends for about 2 weeks, but I got through all the pain.
As soon as we came back to my house I was fast sleep and I woke up just in tome to see the new episodes on T.V two. I was very excited because they were my favourite T.V shows. Then I went to sleep and woke up for the first week of the holidays.
On the first week of the holidays We just played in my backyard and bought food. I stayed watching T.V and playing games. My favourite part in my holiday is playing bull rush with my family. Me and my family went swimming at the G.I pools and went Silvia park to buy some new clothes.
On the second week of the holidays , we went to a talent Quest and my team only got one award for participation. As soon as you know it the holidays finished and I went back to school.
I would say It was the worse holiday of the year

It means you have a 67% win rate in that tank and have received a 2nd class as your highest mastery badge in it.
Jump to content
can you possibly add a button to the Tank Carousel sorting that hides all premium vehicles and only shows non premium's!
reason 1
I have to many premiums in my garage and it is difficult to search for the tank that isn't golden text that i want to drive
reason 2
ok its overwhelming to have to see all the tier 8 heavy tanks (premium and non premium) and to pick a non premium tank and easier to just see all tier 8 (non premium)
reason 3
i go through these phases of playing premium or non premium tanks depending if i want to make extra credits!
maybe a 3 step button where it says show / hide premiums
maybe change the button to say: all / premiums / non-premiums
BUTTON COLORS: button off / GOLD / WHITE?
i couldn't find a mod that does this. i don't like using mods they got annoying to install after a while, plus WOT adapted the only mods i use anyways!!!!
oh and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Consider adding this button!
for heavens sake, add some more maps, i mean, this is getting absurd. a game based on maps, with no new maps to relieve our boredom. you guys need 90 maps, that rotate out every 4 months. that keeps the game fresh.. I'm tired of your excuses, and lame responses for new maps. no one wants new tanks, we want new maps to play the ones we have on them , and not the lame flat boring fields of corn or wheat, real good maps like back in the day.... of course, I have little if any expectation that the powers to be will do this. they have gotten away from the player base, and basically out of touch with their own game.
you guys got millions of dollars, you even own a bank, so please hire some people and add to your 6000 plus employee ranks, and hire map makers... how tough can it be.
do us all a great favour, and make maps.... simple, make maps, repeat...make maps..... repeat, make maps....
make a ..battle of the bulge map......... as the saying goes........just do it!
Oh, and stop tweaking things, your pissing us off..... thats my rant....

Why was it decided to get rid of the screen aspect ratio options?
We used to be able to select from aspect ratios like 4:3, 5:4, 19:10, etc.
But now we can't select it at all? The options completely disappeared? Why in the world would this be considered a good idea?
Some of us relied on these options to make things more normal-looking when playing on different computers which ran at different resolutions. Now you can't even do that anymore. For what reason?
This makes just about as much sense as taking away the gamma slider. This makes just about as much sense as taking away the field of view slider. This makes just about as much sense as taking away the color filter options. This change was completely unnecessary and a detriment to the game. Customers want more options, not fewer.
they are simply out of touch with the player base . you are basically left up to the whims of the powers to be..its very simple, they really don't know what they are doing...

Why girl power?
To answer that question, we must travel to Edinburgh, Scotland, and grapple with pink princess culture, a magic wishing well, and the makings of a middle-grade book for girls with gumption.
Kitty Tweddle $0.99 for a limited time

The following is extracted from an interview with Whispering Words:
A few years ago, while a doctoral student at the University of Edinburgh, I rented a basement apartment just outside the city. My landlords told me the story of the old well – the remains of which were still visible at the bottom of the garden. They also told me that the underground stream feeding the well ran right under the house.
One very rainy summer, it flooded the basement flowing down the hallway and out the back door! I started writing before it was dry.
Kitty's character, however, came about following a research project with a colleague called "The Cult of Hotness." We explored the phenomenon of 'hotness' in western society and our findings were grim indeed.
Not only does a woman's worth appear to be tied to her perceived 'hotness' as opposed to her intelligence, creativity, contribution or even beauty, but this emphasis on hotness begins long before puberty.
Pink princess culture, our research indicated, is a precursor to hotness culture, priming young girls to emphasize physical appearance and a very narrow definition of attractiveness. We were horrified!
I wanted to do something to turn the tide. It wasn't until my Edinburgh basement flooded that the idea clicked into place. Create a protagonist that young girls will want to know. Create a cool girl who is everything pink princess culture isn't. But also a girl who is real and has feelings, who makes mistakes and has to fix them. Someone readers can identify with. That was the inspiration behind Kitty's character.
