Hughes Defeats Algie 1 up to Claim Fourteenth City Championship
WATERTOWN — In between the morning and afternoon sessions of the 36-hole Watertown City Golf Championship final, Bob Hughes was frustrated about his lack of consistency and not being able to string together a few good shots in a row.
The longtime mainstay of local golf managed to get the shots he needed as he edged Rick Algie, one-up, to claim his 14th city championship on Sunday at Watertown Golf Club.
Hughes continues to add to his legacy as he holds the most city crowns, including three of the last four titles.
Winning the event has become almost second nature to Hughes, but he enjoys the thrill of it.
"Each one is a little different, but they are all satisfying," said Hughes, who won his first city title in 1981. "The process of getting here is still fun and I enjoy playing."
Hughes was one-up after the first 18 holes, but was concerned about his consistency early in the round.
"I just never seemed to hit two good shots in a row," said Hughes, who won the event the last time it was held at Watertown Golf Club in 2014. "I just couldn't get any momentum."
Algie, a former standout at South Jefferson, gave Hughes all he could handle by matching him shot-for-shot and even grabbing the lead after 23 holes. The first-time finalist was pleased with his effort despite the loss.
"I went 36 holes in an up-and-down match," said Algie, a former two-time Frontier League tournament champion. "I'm going to use it as a learning experience and will move forward with it."
Hughes had nothing, but praise for his opponent after the hard-fought victory.
"I played him a last year at Ives Hill, and I knew what to expect from his game," Hughes said.
Hughes won that match over Algie in last year's quarterfinals, 4 and 3.
The championship came down to the last hole with the match all square.
Algie's tee shot went into the right rough, while Hughes hit one of his textbook drives right down the center of the fairway.
Algie managed to get himself out of trouble and hit a shot in front of the green.
"I knew it was going to be hard to get to the green from where I was, so I just wanted to get a decent pitch onto the green," Algie said. "I figured if I got it there, I'd be in the front where it would be great."
He had a chance to force sudden death, but his put rolled wide to the right of the cup.
After halving the first three holes on the second 18, Algie won two straight holes to take the lead by one. He had a chance to go two-up, but his ball stayed on the lip of the cup and didn't go in.
The veteran Hughes then ran off three straight wins in as many holes to lead by two after 28 holes. Hughes regained his two-hole lead after Algie got within one-up on the next hole.
"I finally hit consecutive good shots and made a couple of putts," Hughes said.
After halving the 31st hole, Algie won the next two holes to even the match, including a tricky birdie putt at 15 to square the score. The former Jefferson Community College golfer, who is now an assistant coach for the school's golf team, made it a habit of rallying throughout the week.
"This tournament has been like that all week," Algie said. "I've had three matches where I had to come back to win."
Hughes won $500 for winning the championship flight, while Algie took home Algie took home $240. Semifinalists John Bufalini and Tim Phillips each earned $80.
Last year's city champion Brian Phillips rebounded to win the first flight title on Sunday, while Josh Woodward won the second flight championship and Anthony Burgess took the third flight crown.

We arrived first thing in the morning and stayed until it was time to head to the lake for swimming lessons. The girls had a wonderful time writing fairy mail, building fairy houses and writing fairy stories to be included in the Fairyborough Library! More details of our adventure will be over on the New England Fall Events website sometime this autumn (I'll be sure to post when our piece has gone live over there). Thanks to our dear friend Alexandra for choosing us to attend this truly fabulous event (and the Dirtopia event last month)! We had a truly fantastic time! xo

While on vacation, in the beautiful Cayman Islands (my beach view), I read Jerry Spinelli's Knots in My Yo-Yo String: The Autobiography of a Kid. My little sister, Elizabeth came prepared with plenty of books, one of them being Knots in my Yo-Yo String. I started the book thinking it would be interesting to see the kinds of books my younger sister was reading. I don't know what I expected, but after I read the 148-page book in a couple of hours I realized that the book was not shallow and flowery as I had expected, but deep and reflective.
To be honest, I think this book is better suited for young adults and adults than it is for my 5th grade sister. The story is the retelling of Jerry Spinelli's childhood and teenage years. Of course I can see how my sister could enjoy the short descriptive sentences and humorous anecdotes, but I don't think she could grasp the importance of the things Spinelli remembers and the feelings he had growing up. While reading this book, the three things that stuck out to me the most were, 1. He does not have memories of actually learning. Any mention of school is directly connected to an event like a spelling bee, prom, or playing on the playground during lunch. 2. His relationship with his younger brother. 3. His "List of 16 Things I Wished I Could Do"
Similarly to Spinelli, I took a few moments to reflect on my time in school. Below are the first memories that popped into my head from each grade. 1st grade I think of the reading loft my classroom had (the only one in the building) and that my teacher was also named Alison. 2nd grade I remember talking about the election between Bush, Clinton, and Nader. In our mock election, we chose Nader, probably because we liked saying his name. 3rd grade I learned how to read a chapter book. 4th grade I remember a clean up game we played, "Magic Garbage" the teacher picked a piece of garbage that was on the ground and the student who picked it up would get a prize (an eraser, pencil, McDonald's toy, etc.) 5th grade I remember my amazing teacher Mrs. Beck. She gave us an assignment to make an "All About Me Book" it was the first time I could really be creative on an assignment and I remember being so proud at how neat and well executed it was. From middle school I remember the basketball games, my teachers, and memories with friends. High school I remember my Academy class, mostly my classmates and the feeling that I get when I am surrounded by their incredible minds. I will also remember the packed gyms at basketball games, and going to prom my junior year. Reading Spinelli's book helped me reflect on what stands out in the 12 or so years of schooling. I can see why some memories stick, but I wonder why out of all the things I could remember, I remember "Magic Garbage" and that my teachers name was also Alison.
In the book Jerry Spinelli admits to not having a great memory of his relationship with his younger brother. I have an abundance of memories with my 14 month older sister, Emily, but when it comes to my 8 year younger sister, Elizabeth, I feel the way Spinelli did. Spinelli, however, enlisted the help of his younger brother while writing his autobiography and asked him what he remembered of their childhood. Much to Spinelli's surprise, his brother produced beautiful memories of him and Jerry such as Jerry letting him ride on his handlebars. This makes me wonder if our bike rides to the Dairy Bar or picking her up from soccer practice will be things my sister Elizabeth remembers. Jerry's lack of memories he has with his younger brother also makes me cautious not to miss out on the memories I can still have with Elizabeth.
The 16 things on Spinelli's list were as childish as "Spit between my front teeth" to as profound as "understand eternity" So, to my readers I ask what was on your list of things you wished you could do when you were 10 years old? I know some of mine were to be as fast and athletic as my sister Emily and to be as adventurous as my little brother, Bobby. Please comment on my post or simply state what was on your list as a 10 year old or what is on your list now. Is there a trend? Is there a big difference?
It is a new year; reflect on yourself, your life, and your memories.
Until next time…

Alright so it has been a little over two weeks since we have moved into our new home.
I love it!
The neighbor hood is great and we even have a new "porch" cat named Furry Lewis.
It has been bloody hot out since we have moved in so it has left me with little motivation to do anything.
PLUS our main computer has been acting up.
Luckily I was able to order a new computer and it arrived today!
I am more than excited to finally be able to upload pictures and edit them accordingly.
I am going to start off with a KITCHEN TOUR!
Awesome, awesome cook books and such.
Holy shit, the fire duke.
I found this gentleman at a garage sale.
I had been eyeing these sort of fire places for a while.
I thought maybe at some point I would be able to find a cheaper one around 200 dollars, and hopefully I would have it at the time I found one!
This bad boy was TEN dollars.
I love him.
I hope you enjoyed the first look at my new home.

2016 Sauvignon Blanc
Here's what we think: Chardonnay can be enhanced by wearing a bit of oak, but Sauvignon Blanc should be buck-naked. It is the unoaked, let-it-all-hang-out style of Sauv Blanc that allows her sassiness and vivacity to shine. She's delish as an apéritif, crazy food-friendly and flavorful as all get-out. We craft our Sauvignon Blanc to be a classic Monterey style—not New Zealand, not Napa, and certainly not a wannabe Chardonnay. Our 2016 vintage has a lively nose of lemon peel and grapefruit with a mouthwatering palate of melon, guava, and pineapple. Bright acidity lends an incredible freshness to this clean and mineral-driven white, making it a great complement for a wide variety of cuisines, but especially oysters and all things from the sea. Monterey Bay seafood is recommended as a perfect match to this Monterey SB!

We've all heard triumphant "rags-to -riches" success stories in our lifetime- but have we witnessed a riches-to-rags story…and still consider it a triumph?
It may be difficult to believe, but author and Starbucks barista Michael Gates Gill challenges millions of people about what a great, inspiring life looks like. Best-seller "How Starbucks Saved My Life" is an autobiography by Gill who was raised in the highest social circles on Earth- meeting Jackie Onassis, Queen Elizabeth, and Ernest Hemingway, going to Yale, and landing a six-figure ad agency job immediately after graduation. He was living the high life in New York City and made no apologies for it…then situations rocked his entire life.
He was fired from his prestigious job because of his older age, went through a divorce due to his adultery, and ran his own consulting company only to see it crash and burn. This "born rich" man became unemployed for 10 years, and during this time discovered he had a brain tumor.
Through desperation he sought out an open position at Starbucks Coffee near Harlem, serving customers, cleaning bathrooms, and handling the register- not exactly the glamorous life he's experienced since birth. Being around rich, white people all his life was challenged when the staff and management consists of young black and Latino people, including his recruiter, Crystal. It is learning from her and experiencing his job at Starbucks that made him a better, humble man and learned to appreciate everyone from every walk of life. He is happier than ever and works there to this day.
I had a brief interview with him after promoting his new, second book, "How to Save Your Own Life: 15 Lessons on Finding Hope in Unexpected Places." His life story proves that inspiration can truly come from unexpected places!
How did you overcome those years of hardship before you landed the Starbucks job? What got you through?
My daughter Annie said to keep a journal. Because every night before I go to bed I think it's good to just write down- but not paragraphs- just a sentence or two on how you feel and what's happening. That was very helpful to me. And then also have to "Let Go and Let God" like the chapter in my new book says. I think that's the best advice if you're going through hard times. Instead of saying "I can't handle this/I can't do this," say "I'll just do the best I can. I'm gonna give it up to God, let go and let God, and let Him take over."
One lesson listed in new book: Look with Respect to Every Individual
This homeless guy came in and I just cleaned the bathroom and I just step in front and say "the bathroom's out of order." But Crystal was watching over me, and she came over, and I could see she was upset, but she didn't express it loudly but she said "Never do that again." I said "what?" Crystal replied:
"The last thing that gentleman needed today was to be disrespected by you…just as I treat you with respect, I expect you to respect everyone that comes in our store. You don't get to judge people anymore. Everyone that comes in our store gets to sit as long as they want, and use all the facilities."
Here I was seeing him as a homeless guy instead of as an individual with the same needs everyone has.
In the simplest words, what is life about to you? What should it be about?
Serving others. Just serve somebody. A cup of coffee in my case (laughs). It doesn't have to be profound. I think we get mixed up with thinking we gotta make life some abstract thing, when it can just be helping someone in some simple way. When bad things happen you begin to say "Oh my God, look at me, I got this, I got that." But even in Starbucks, for example, when you're serving others [coffee] you can't even think about whether you have a brain tumor or not.
"My advice to sum up a happy life would be to give yourself time to listen to your own heart, and then move forward to find someway that you could serve someone, it doesn't matter who, everyday, but someone in someway."
What advice would you give to people who want the wealthy lifestyle but still want to stay true to themselves?
In every religion in every part of the world say "The simple life is the best life." In the Bible it says the treasures is where your heart is and external treasure will rust. I know many of the richest people in the world, and the more money you have, the more stuff you have, and the more you think about money the more you think about stuff. It's not like they go to bed happy. It's sad that they're possessed by their possessions. If you look at Buddha or the story of Jesus…every single religious figure would say, "it can't be…external stuff that measures your success or even happiness." It doesn't mean that it's not going to happen, but if they occur they should occur SECOND. For example, I met with a minister of a church, and I'm still this big advertising guy, and he said "Take no thought for tomorrow," and that really got me angry. Take no thought for tomorrow when I have a campaign to deal with, and supporting my family, I've got work to do…if I couldn't work hard my family could be in debt and I could get fired… I called him the next day, "You know, this doesn't make sense," and then he said "First, think about GOD…and then all those things will be added unto you." So the key is not to seek those things in and of themselves…there's nothing evil about a good house, or indoor plumbing, or all this stuff that's nice to have, but you've got to first think about God, check with your own heart, and do something today…tomorrow in love.
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21–
The "Saved My Life" book will become a movie starring film star Tom Hanks. You can view his CNN feature by clicking HERE.

GOOOOAL! Realm of Tanks Celebrates World Cup With New Game Mode
Why is sports better? Tanks!
That's Wargaming's opinion, a minimum of, and they're putting it towards the test having a temporary World Football Championship game mode, available before the real football (or soccer, if you like) World Cup ends on This summer 13. Players will compete in 3-on-3 matches using T-62A tanks on the pitch-formed battlefield in which the goal isn't simply to get rid of the other players but to influence a ball right into a goal. First team to 3 goals, or even the team most abundant in goals after seven minutes, wins.
Also, if your covering glances off your tank, causing no damage, you're permitted to switch it over and scream as if you just had your arm scammed. OK, we made that up. However, if you would like the authentic football experience…

Firstly apologies for the delay. Reviews should be more frequent from now on, but every one has a lapse when life gets a little too busy.
This book is the first of the Shared Shelf book club, run by Emma Watson.
Gloria Steinem is a journalist, a social activist, lecturer, writer and has been present at many of the monumental events in the United States of America's recent history. She was standing in the crowd at Martin Luther King's speech in Washington, and was there for JFK's final farewell to speech writer Ted Sorensen before his fateful trip to Dallas.
The delight of this book caused me to re-read it before I could even think of writing a word about the knowledge it imparts on readers. Steinem obviously has a fluent and intellectual style of writing, built through her career as a journalist and from her experiences in the world, but she combines this mastery of words with beautifully emotive language that brings us into each and every event in her life.
When I first picked up this book, I expected a rather chronological narrative of trips across the world and around the United States. I was surprised instead by a collection of tales detailing her role and the role of many others in the rise of equal rights in America.
Living out of boxes for most of her life, Steinem grew up with a father who would have rather lived in his car, then settle in a house with his wife and children. Although she has written about her father in previous works, this is the first time she has gone into such detail of how his travelling ways brought her to live the lifestyle in her own way. Calling herself a "wandering organiser", Steinem explains how it has shaped the way she sees the world and brought warmth to her anecdotes of harassed flight attendants learning to stand up for themselves, and taxi drivers experience all walks of life through their passengers,
It becomes a diary for the women's movement in America and follows Steinem's many contributions to efforts from women all of the country, in all manners of home, relationships and ideals to bring equality to women. A campaigner for McCarthy and Hilary Clinton it also delves into her politics and the decision to campaign for Clinton over Obama. Full of anecdotes and soundbite quotes surely soon to be seen printed on canvasses in the homes of readers across the world she shows the willpower that influenced so many men and women, in every sentence.
"If you find yourself drawn to an event against all logic, go. The universe is telling you something.
In this way and many others, Steinem is telling us "yes we can", and by her acknowledgement of all the fears she faces and all the flaws she has, she gives us hope that anything we decide to do can make a difference too.
Certainly not a tell-all of her life, little of her personal life is involved. Steinem grasps the theme of travel with both hands and runs with it resulting in extraordinary writing but a lack of personal depth overall.
Confronting, thought-provoking and full of passion, this book is an inspiration to those who wish to be part of something bigger.

Financial applications – from DIY to outsourcing
About 86% of company offices with at least 50 employees use financial software. That can be a financial module from an ERP package or a separate financial package. There's hardly been any change in that percentage over the last five years. However, there has been a change in recent years in the way in which people use the financial solution. In 2011, 52% of those surveyed operated their financial administration solution on their own premises, whilst that figure has dropped to 35% in the last five years. In the same period, the percentage that say they allow an external service provider to host the financial administration or use a Cloud solution has increased from 8% in 2012 to the current 30%. The use of a financial solution which operates at a parent or affiliated location has fallen slightly from 32% in 2012 to 27% now. This has emerged from an analysis by Computer Profile on the basis of over 5,000 interviews with ICT officers from Dutch company offices with at least 50 employees on site.
Several financial packages can be used for each location, one of which, for example, operates on the premises and one in a private Cloud. The total of packages on the premises, hosted, in the Cloud, and at a parent or affiliated location is therefore higher than 86% (the percentage of locations which say that they use a financial application).
If we look at the total number of software solutions used for financial administration, it emerges that SAP is the most popular supplier (21%). Exact is in second place with over 15% and Microsoft completes the top three with almost 12%.
For each market segment there is a clear noticeable difference in the penetration by the various vendors. For example, the financial software from Exact is the solution used the most in the public sector with a penetration of 20%. SAP and AFAS are numbers two and three with 12 and 10% respectively. The centre of gravity with Dutch multinationals is at SAP. Over half of them (55%) say that they use an SAP solution. Oracle, the number two, is used at 14% of these locations, and Microsoft is number three with 11%. With national enterprises Microsoft Dynamics is the most popular solution for financial administration with 19%. SAP and Exact are in second and third place with 18 and 12% respectively. With medium sized businesses Exact (19%), Microsoft (14%), and SAP (10%) make up the top three.
HR software
In surveying the most popular HR solutions, Computer Profile looked on the one hand at separate HR solutions, and, on the other hand, at ERP solutions in use, because these also usually include HR functions.
In this list, too, SAP occupies first place with 21%. Raet is in second place, but is followed closely by AFAS. For SAP it is once again the case that the company has a strong presence at locations of multinationals, namely at more than half of the companies surveyed. Oracle and ADP are in second and third place with penetrations of 16 and 13% respectively. In the public sector Raet is the most noticeable vendor. Raet solutions are used by 28% of these locations; Raet is followed some way behind by AFAS and SAP (12 and 11% respectively). The situation is closer in the national enterprises and medium sized businesses segments. Microsoft is the most popular vendor in both segments with 19 and 14% respectively. With national enterprises SAP and AFAS occupy places two and three, and with medium sized businesses Exact shares the top position with 14%. ADP is the third most popular party mentioned.
HR software is used all together by 86% of locations. The use of HR solutions which are hosted by external service providers or are taken from the Cloud is 43%. HR software still operates on a company's own premises at 33% of company offices. A quarter of all locations say that they use HR solutions, but these operate on servers at the head office or an affiliated location. Here, too, there are clear and noticeable differences for the various market segments. With location from the public sector and multinationals HR software is accommodated mostly in the Cloud. HR use on the premises is most common in the national enterprises and medium sized businesses segments. Since several HR packages can be in use at one location, the total of the separate forms here, too, is higher than 86% (the total use of HR software).

Themes and Meanings
(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
Written at a time when Americans, young and old, were perplexed by "the generation gap," this story explores relationships between the generations of a quintessentially American family. Like many characters in ancient and modern literature, Woody finds the search for his identity inextricably tangled with his genealogical roots. From his parents, he inherits seemingly incompatible impulses toward sincerity and mischief, instinct and refinement, recklessness and responsibility. Woody is "leading a double life," the narrator says, "sacred and profane."
Coming to terms with his own identity is, therefore, largely a matter of reaching an understanding of his father's vices, an understanding that goes beyond the righteous scorn or kind forgiveness of his mother and her circle. The episode involving the silver dish brings Woody's emotional conflicts into sharpest relief; he gathers from it a comprehension not only of his father's energetic though immoral imagination but also of his female relatives' insipid religiosity. His immediate reaction to the theft was like theirs, but ultimately he sided with his father against them.
Perhaps the most intriguing insight in this study of generations is the way the author has made the father more immature than the son. Morris's impulsiveness, his puerile sinning, and his financial irresponsibility often seem more juvenile than Woody's foibles: Consider the irony of a son physically punishing his father for stealing; imagine a fourteen-year-old boy financing his own father's desertion. Often the child plays father to the man.
For all the individuality with which these two characters are drawn, they assume mythic dimensions inasmuch as they stand for two of the nation's most interesting generations, those that made the 1920's roar and the 1960's soar. An immigrant, Morris is a typical burly, passionate, broad-shouldered Chicagoan who survived the Great Depression. He wants his son to be "like himself, an American." By the time his father dies, Woody has grown "fleshy and big, like a figure for the victory of American materialism." With his Lincoln Continental, his tile business, and his foreign vacations, Woody typifies mid-century generations of Americans who brought seeds planted by indigent immigrants to fruition. Born a Jew, converted to Christianity, and finally lapsed into agnosticism, Woody embodies the dynamic religious mélange of American culture. The tensions and anxieties he suffers from the competing claims of these traditions are those of the nation as a whole.

Richard has been fishing a lot over the last few weeks so for those of you who like to fish I thought I would share a few photos and let you know what he uses for equipment, rigging and bait. If I have the terms a little wrong - forgive me!
Richard's fishing rod is a Shakespeare Ugly Stick BWS 1100 - 9 feet (2.74 meters)long. He also has a Penn Slammer rod that is 7 feet long. His reel is a Penn Spinning Reel 850 SSM. He uses two circle hooks about 10 incles apart and 10 inches from a 4 ounce pyramid sinker. Bait is shrimp bought at the local food stores.
The catch here is Pompano, Redfish, Sea Catfish and Whiting so far...
The area has lots of spots for fishing: on the beach, on the Gulf Intracoastal waterway, on the canals around the islands in both Florida and Alabama. Out of state residents need a fishing license that costs about $50 in Florida for the year.

Buying the Best Petrol Lawn Mower
It's a common question: "How can I get the best mower for the least amount of money".
By the end of this post you will be in a better position to do just that.
There are a few golden rules to follow:
1. Decide on your budget first
Select a budget range that you are happy to spend. If you don't there is a chance that a salesperson will up-sell you because the next model up of the lawn mower has X, Y and Z feature that you just have to have!
2. Usability
You want a mower that is easy to start, easy to use and cuts the grass well. We will only be selecting mowers that fit this criteria on the site and give them a rating so you can see what you are dealing with before buying.
Let us do the reviewing and you can then buy with confidence.
3. To stripe or not to stripe…
A stripy lawn is a personal thing. Some people love it some hate it, some don't even notice, much to the annoyance of those who made a great effort to do it!
If you want stripes down the lawn you will need a lawnmower with a roller on the back to press down the grass. This is more expensive so it's up to you to decide if it's worth it.
Remember that a lawn mower is going to last a long time, many years, so it's worth spending a little extra to make sure you get what you want and need in order to make your crass cutting duties easier for yourself and not frustrate you whenever you do it.
Note: Although an electric starter is a nice feature it's really not that necessary unless you absolutely need it. A good machine with a cord starter will work just as nicely and not be hard to pull.
So, with those above points freshly in your mind let's take a look at the selection of best petrol lawn mowers that we recommend:

Learning Keeps You Young, or Busy – #amwriting
I have realised this week that I am better at practical learning than book learning.
Readers of my Friday Fictioneer posts might know I recently started tap dancing. I didn't dance as a child – I was too fat and my parents didn't have the money to pay for lessons however much I pleaded to go to ballet classes with my best friend. Eighteen months ago I started Bollywood dancing and learnt that for year. It was lovely to move elegantly and learn more about Asian film music, but the classes ended.
I have always hankered to learn to tap, probably because of the noise and my imagining that it was easy to stamp around. It isn't, and I am having to practise between lessons to keep up. I am a complete beginner compared to the others who are re-learning or have at least a term behind them. I am improving, but don't imagine I will ever be fast enough. I have also taught myself basic crochet stitches and am about to attempt my first piece of clothing, albeit a relatively simple scarf.
However, my online Italian course, which I started last June, is languishing uncompleted. And I have pulled out of the writing MOOC I signed up to complete over the next 6-weeks because I don't have the time to do it justice. The University of Iowa have run a number of writing MOOCs and I participated in How Writers Write Fiction 2014 and 2015, as well as How Writers Write Poetry 2014. They are professional and stretching courses, but post new classes on a Thursday and I am unable to keep up now work has become busier.
At tap, I have peers in front of whom I don't wish to fail. With crochet I have physical evidence of my progress. However, with Italian there's no one to practise with, and I've enough of my own writing to get on with without committing to more. So whether I'm better at the practical, or the things I enjoy most, is open to question.
How do people learn without peers, teachers, or projects to keep them on track?
#amwriting – Agents, here I come.
My novel to pitch is now with eight agents. While I hoped this would take a day, it took two, as submissions were adjusted to meet agency specific requirements. Some require a query letter instead of a cover letter and synopsis. Most want the first three chapters as attachments, although one preferred the first chapter pasted into the body of an email. And there are agents who want submissions via hardcopy only, which I will approach once I have a new toner cartridge for my printer.
I realise submitting to agents should be an ongoing process until I find representation. However, it has been an energy-sapping couple of days and I am looking forward to writing again without strictures.
Priorities for the next fortnight: edit and write short stories based on friend's picture prompts; prepare more agent submissions.
Ongoing projects successfully met: novel has been submitted; Friday Fictioneer stories have been posted regularly; piano practice has taken place; crochet projects have been completed.
Ongoing projects partially met: blog posts about writing and progress have been sporadic; blog reading is improving.
Ongoing project fails: learning Italian has taken a back seat.
#FridayFictioneers – 9/10/15 – The Fun of the Fair
Every Wednesday Rochelle Wisoff-Fields publishes a photo prompt to inspire writers to write 100-words of flash fiction or poetry.
At any point during the following week, the Friday Fictioneers post their 100-word tales. Read the other stories by clicking below.
I had wanted to write a nice little story about a little girl just having fun, but something intervened.
Also I'm late posting and will be late getting around to reading and commenting, for which I apologise in advance.
The Fun of the Fair
(Genre: general fiction/ misery lit; 100-words)
The air is so fresh, the sky so blue. Who knew flying could be so invigorating? Especially when Daddy insisted the race of Pegasus was a myth.
It is delicious to be outside and able to giggle after digesting all those books Daddy makes me read.
I hope he gets better at the hospital, but I'm enjoying staying with auntie Maisie and being what she calls a normal little girl. Daddy says normal is mediocre, but I like it. I'm looking forward to more days at the corrupting funfair. There's nothing to be frightened of, despite what Daddy told me.
#FridayFictioneers – 28/11/14 – War's End
Every Wednesday Rochelle Wisoff-Fields publishes a photo prompt to inspire writers to write 100-words of flash fiction or poetry.
At any point during the following week, the Friday Fictioneers post their 100-word tales. Read the other stories by clicking below.
It's almost time for this Friday's prompt I'm so late, but this story hasn't left me alone, not that I think it works well enough. Some vital ingredient is missing.
War's End
(Genre: Post-apocalyptic, 100-wods)
When the conflagration ended, one building remained untouched.
'What's in there?' the boy asked.
'Books full of learning; the key to building a better future.'
On the other side of the square a fired burned, men tore at spines, scattered pages.
'What are they burning?'
'Not all knowledge is good,' the elder sighed. 'We will never speak of what's done. We must destroy all references to it so that those who come after cannot follow our example.'
The boy moved closer to the pyre, studied the partial titles: – Armaments, Modern Wa-
'What is – '
'What you don't know cannot hurt you.'
#Trifecta: 114 – Satisfy – The King and His Peasant
I thought and thought about this week's Trifecta challenge, but didn't get very far. Then this idea came from absolutely nowhere. I'm not happy with it, but with nothing else nudging my fingers toward the keyboard, this is it.
The prompt:
SATISFY (transitive verb)
1a : to carry out the terms of (as a contract) : discharge
b : to meet a financial obligation to
2: to make reparation to (an injured party) : indemnify
3a : to make happy : please
b : to gratify to the full : appease
4a : convince
b : to put an end to (doubt or uncertainty) : dispel
5a : to conform to (as specifications) : be adequate to (an end in view)
The rules:
• Your response must be exactly 33 words.
• You must use the 3rd definition of the given word in your post.
• The word itself needs to be included in your response.
• You may not use a variation of the word; it needs to be exactly as stated above.
The King and His Peasant (33-words)
King and peasant share a prison cell.
'How may I satisfy you, sire?'
'Tell me your story.'
'Speak! It's too late for my neck, but I can still learn from my subjects.'
Creative writing
Over the past couple of weeks I've been finishing off a personal statement for a job. This was a hypothetical job for teaching hourly sessions of jewellery-making at an adult education college, completed as part of my PTLLS course. I haven't written a personal statement since I applied for university 20 years ago, and normally apply for jobs by completing an application form. With me not yet being a peripatetic teacher of jewellery, and only knowing so much about teaching theory and practice, the personal statement was a good exercise in creativity.
Writing a statement for a job I might or might not do was made tougher by the need to fulfil certain criteria. It wasn't writing about my 'knowledge and commitment to inclusive learning' that was difficult, but keeping on message and sticking to one subject per box. Can resources and environment, motivating and engaging learners, and feedback and ground rules be separated and squeezed between the bars of a table? Do personal job statements usually include a reference section? As my study buddy said in her last email, it turned into a sort of waffling-essay-type-of-thing. At least my lesson plans were made up of bullet points and will hopefully balance out the never-ending paragraphs of the other.
Since writing the above, I've received feedback on my lesson plans and they were judged to be okay. The one thing my tutor suggested was that I made the learners do a bit more work – interactive learning is best. Next week I will teach and receive feedback from my peers. Let's hope we're all not being too nice to each other. And once all my learning is over, I can get back to editing.
The week started well….
On the tube, first thing Monday morning, I was in the zone and editing well. And then I got to college and it's been non-stop with other stuff ever since – meeting students and tutors, registering at the library, borrowing books, reading course handouts, interactive talks, brainstorming, listening, note-taking, reading library books, more note-taking and homework assignments. I know it's an intensive course, but I'm knackered.
In a couple of months I will (hopefully) have a City and Guilds award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector, which: "… covers the basics of teaching in continuing and adult education – including how to plan sessions, motivate learners and use a variety of assessment methods. It's a first step towards official practitioner status – a full licence to teach in the lifelong learning sector." (http://www.cityandguilds.com/45858.html)
It all sounds a bit dry, doesn't it? But I'm having so much fun! And I now know more about learning styles, the teaching cycle, meaningful learning, the feedback sandwich, and a bunch of new people.
In the meantime it's continued to be wet in the southern part of the UK and the rain lashed countryside is collapsing under the weight of verdancy. Last week there were mowers out along our stretch of river that cut down the thigh-high vegetation. Immediately, all the snails and slugs disappeared. They reappeared in the evening, clustered on the abandoned stalks. This has carried on for days since.
Unfortunately, whenever we leave the boat now, we are continually apologising to the latest snail we have failed to miss with our wellies.

When you are getting ready to say "I do," you will want to
make sure that you find the perfect accessories, decorations, and other
details for your big day. A wedding arch traditionally frames the bride
and groom during their vows. With assistance from a company that offers
party rentals, you can create a beautiful and memorable wedding arch that will complement
the rest of your wedding decorations. Let's take a look at some
tips for decorating your wedding arch.
Create Soft Lines
Whether you are planning a formal wedding, or are having a casual affair
outdoors, you may want to construct a wedding arch that contains soft
lines. Breaking up the traditional geometry of the arch will allow you
to create a softer and more contemporary feel for your wedding design.
Some ways to soften your arch include draping the arch with fabric or
adorning the outside with floral arrangements.
Choose a Color Scheme
The color scheme of your wedding arch needs to match with your other wedding
decorations. For example, if your wedding features pastel flowers and
other light colors, you will want to include these colors in your wedding
arch. Neutral colors, such as white, beige, or even metallic gold, can
create visual continuity for all of your wedding elements.
Consider the Surrounding Environment
Your wedding arch will provide you with an opportunity to use materials
from the environment that surrounds your wedding ceremony. For a wedding
on the beach, you can create a natural arch out of palm fronds or driftwood.
An outdoor setting, such as a park, will allow you to incorporate leaves,
tree branches, and other elements of nature.
For help planning the wedding of your dreams, contact
A-1 Equipment Rental Center. From event rentals to wedding rentals and more, we offer a full range
of party rentals in Redwood City. To learn more about how we can help
you pick out the materials and party rentals that you will need for your
upcoming ceremony, give us a call at (650) 369-2992.

Notebook Computer Buying Tips
Posted by Laptop Tips
There are a lot of notebook computer buying guides designed to help an inexperienced user to buy the right notebook. Some of these guides are good, some of them are not. Here is a notebook buying guide I like because it's written on people's language and not designed to sell you anything. This guide explains the difference between a budget notebook, a mainstream notebook and a gaming notebook and what you should expect from your laptop.
From myself I would like to add some hardware related details you should think of before you buy a notebook computer.
Laptop AC Adapter.
Make sure to check the size of the AC adapter before you buy a laptop. Usually, you do not see the AC adapter before you buy the laptop and open the box at home. You'll be very surprised to see that your AC adapter is half-size of your computer. I did this mistake when I bought Sony Vaio PCG-FRV26. The AC adapter wasn't designed for a portable computer at all.
Volume Control.
If you like listen music a lot then you have to choose a laptop with some kind of a hardware sound volume control (sound volume buttons or sound volume wheel located on the laptop). I prefer a volume wheel like on most Toshiba laptops. The volume wheel gives you almost instant access to the sound level. If you do not have a hardware control, then the only way to change the sound volume is through the software settings; it takes some time.
Sound System.
This is again for music lovers. Make sure to find a laptop with a good sound system. In my opinion, Harman/Kardon system is one of the best. I have Harman/Kardon speakers on my HP Pavilion zv5430us and the sound is awesome. :) Sound on my Sony Vaio laptop sucks! :(
Laptop Memory Location.
The system board is one of the most important and most expensive parts of a notebook computer and you will get an advantage if you know what kind of the system board installed into the laptop. Some modern notebooks have memory integrated on the system board and offer only one extra memory slot to expand the memory size in the future. If onboard memory goes bad, you have to replace the entire system board. It's OK if your laptop is still under warranty, but what if you have to pay cash for the repair? Also you cannot upgrade onboard memory. Other type of system boards do not have onboard memory, instead offer to you two memory slots on the system board. You will have to replace only the memory stick if it goes bad. System board with 2 memory slots usually can accept up to 2 GB of memory (1GB memory stick in each slot). So, if you plat to upgrade your laptop in the future, make sure that your laptop has both memory slots available for upgrade. Ask a sales person for details.
USB Port Location.
Check how USB ports are located on the laptop. If you plan to use USB devices like a wireless mouse, a flash drive or an external USB hard drive, then it would be nice to have couple USB ports on the side of your laptop not only on the back. Some laptops do not have USB ports on sides and to connect an USB device you have to turn the laptop.
Make sure that USB ports are not located too close to each other. Some older USB devices are big and when you plug it into one USB port, the second USB port becomes unusable.
If you are a network administrator or have a job related to networking, then probably you use Windows run box a lot. To access the run box in Windows you use a shortcut (Windowd Key + R button). On some keyboards the Windows Key is located in the lower left corner, so you can use one hand to start it. On some keyboards the Windows Key is located in the upper right corner and to start the run box you have to use both hands. Choose the right keyboard for you. For some people it's not a problem at all, but what if you use this shortcut hundreds times a day?
Parallel Port.
Very often this option is overlooked. If you plan to connect a printer to your laptop via a parallel port then you have to find a laptop with this option. Many modern laptops are designed for modern USB printers and they do not have the parallel port at all.
Laptop Warranty.
If you think that notebook computers do not fail or they fail only during the first year of exploitation, think again. In my opinion, an extended 3or 4 years warranty is a must for any notebook computer. For example I'll give you approximate prices for some Toshiba Satellite A75 laptop parts if you decide to repair it in Toshiba Repair Center.

By Wren Schaefer
Trapeze Enthusiast, AIReal Yoga Instructor & Office Goddess
To me, the upside-down pike is one of the most fundamental skills in trapeze (that most people want to skip over). It sets you up for greater strength and understanding of how to use your body around the trapeze! The trapeze is a strong apparatus, which means we have to be strong.
So, here are some ways to help build your strength at home.
Using a Pull Up Bar:
1. Shoulder Shrugs (2 sets of 10)
Hold on with your thumbs around the bar. Release your shoulder blades out of their sockets and reengage them. Most people want to bend their arms and do a little pull up because they want to be strong! Don't worry, my friends, we'll get there. This is solely to work the muscle to keep your shoulders engaged. So, you aren't dead weight hanging from a bar. That would make everything much more difficult.
Modification - 2 sets of 5.
2. Leg Lifts (3 sets of 10)
Keeping your shoulders engaged, hang completely straight from the bar. Engage your core, keep your body tight. Then lift your legs, piking at the waist. Try to pick a spot in front of you and see if you can continue to reach your toes to that mark. Point your toes! This makes it look prettier, but also helps keep your legs engaged. Eventually, the goal is to hang straight and lift your toes to the bar that you are holding on to, bringing you into a hanging pike. This is the goal, but we all have to start somewhere!
Modification - Keep your legs in a tuck position.
3. Pull Ups (3 sets of 5)
If you're thinking, "Pull ups are hard!" You are right. Pull ups are difficult, but you can do them and trapeze is one of the best ways to do that. What's more motivating to pull your body up over a bar, than knowing you can do a fun, new trick?! Try to keep your shoulders back and down and your elbows tucked in. Keep your legs in a tuck with your tailbone curled under.
Modification - On stall bars, climb up the rungs, get into the final position of the pull up with your chin over the bar, your elbows bent, but keep your legs straight. Then, slowly lower yourself down. And repeat!
Floor Exercises:
4. Plank (Hold 30 sec, rest/downward dog, repeat 3 times)
The plank is everywhere! It is a fundamental yoga posture, a start point for any pushup, and a fun way to hang out with your dog (because they lick your face). Find a mirror and make sure you are in alignment. Look at your hands, spread your fingers wide and place weight between your 1st & 2nd finger knuckle. Stack your shoulders over your wrists. If you are hyper mobile, slightly bend your elbows. Start in a table top position and extend one leg out at a time. Tuck your toes, reach your heels back. Curl your tailbone under. Draw your navel in and up. Press the floor away from you and think about lengthening your spine. Who knew there was so many things to do in a plank?
Modification - Keep your knees on the ground.
5. Shoulder Taps (3 sets of 10)
The only thing more fun than a plank, is a moving plank! Stay in the plank position and steadily shift your weight onto your right palm so you can tap your right shoulder with your left hand. Then shift your weight over to your left palm, so you can tap your left shoulder with your right hand. And repeat! This will get you shoulders working! Make sure you keep in mind your alignment, it is so important! It is much better for your body to be in a supportive position working, then to be in a potentially dangerous position.
Modification - Come into a table top position with your palms under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
6. Tuck Ups (3 sets of 5)
Slow and controlled is the name of this game. Lie on your back with your arms extended straight up over your head. Draw your shoulders back and down activate your core tuck your pelvis under so that there is no space between your lower back and the floor. Tuck your knees into your chest and keep your toes pointed touching the floor. Keep your heels as close to your bum as possible and slowly try to bring your knees up to your nose. If you get to a point where your knees cannot go up any higher, come back down and repeat. Try to use as little momentum as possible and keep looking at your knees. This will build the strength to get your hips up over your head and work on your strong core!
7. Plow Holds (5 sets)
Before we fly, we must learn to flap our cute, baby wings. Similarly, it is helpful to hold an upside down pike on the floor before we do it hanging from a trapeze bar. Lie on your back and draw your shoulders back and down. Activate your core, tuck your pelvis under, so that there is no space between your lower back and the floor, just like the tuck ups. Then extend your legs straight up to the ceiling. Place your palms on the floor and slowly bring your hips up and your toes reaching towards the floor behind you. Bring your hands to your hips for support, or you can work on reaching your hands above you, as if you were grabbing a bar and finding the balance between bringing your hips back and reaching your toes forward. Keep your head slightly tucked and don't move your head around. This can cause injury to your neck.
Shoulder Stretches:
I have to go on a little bit about how important stretching is! With the trapeze, it is more important than ever to make sure your shoulders are strong and stretched. Take it from Trigg (my dad). He did pull ups my whole life with little stretching, and now he can't straighten his arms over his head. Supple shoulders, happy body!
8. Forward Fold with Interlaced Hands (hold one minute both sides)
I've learned from my mentor, my boss and the amazing AIReal Yoga founder, Carmen Curtis, about the wonderful benefits of the forward fold. So, why not throw in a shoulder stretch with it. Start standing with your arms over your head and dive forward leading with your chest. Release into a forward fold, keeping your knees bent. Interlace your hands behind your back or use a strap if it is difficult to clasp your hands together. Gently tuck your head to your chest and start to pull your arms toward the floor. If you feel okay with this, straighten your legs up, otherwise keep them bent. To come out, bend your arms to your lower back and unclasp your hands. Take a break and then interlace your hands with your opposite thumb in front.
9. Shoulder Stretch on the Floor (2 minutes each side)
This one is hard to explain and doesn't have an official name, but I love it! Lie on your belly with your arms bent at a 45 degree angle (cactus arms). Tent your right hand. Bend your right knee and start to rotate your hip open until your foot comes to the floor. Drop your head down. This should be a big should stretch if you have tight shoulders. Repeat on the opposite side.
10. Shoulder Stretch using Prop (against a wall, table edge, or a hammock! ;)
Everyone needs a buddy sometimes. Let's use a prop! Stand with your feet under your hips and start to hinge forward. Place your hands against your prop. Keep your hands shoulder width distance with arms straight. Drop your head through, reach your tailbone to the sky and drop your belly. This should be a nice way to stretch your shoulders while using the weight of your own head!
Hopefully, this conditioning will help you feel strong and confident in your upside down pike and in yourself! All in all, remember to have fun and enjoy your conditioning. It can help you relieve stress, focus your mind, and prepare you for fun trapeze skills!

Good Friday, also known as "Holy Friday," is the Friday immediately preceding Easter Sunday. It is celebrated traditionally as the day on which Jesus was crucified. If you are interested in a study of the issue, please see our article that discusses the various views on which day Jesus was crucified. Assuming that Jesus was crucified and died on a Friday, should Christians remember Jesus' death by celebrating Good Friday?

Holy cow! I can't believe it's been two years since I did my last plastic reduction mission! I have definitely found that the easiest way for me to reduce my plastic usage is to avoid buying things that come in plastic bottles. Last time, it was laundry detergent. I've been using homemade laundry detergent for awhile now, and I've really liked the results. I've also really liked my DIY fabric softening results…and it's just occurred to me that I haven't bought a bottle of fabric softener in two years either…so why not post about it?
If you're really into plastic reduction, or just reduction in general, the obvious choice is to forgo a fabric softener altogether. I did this all throughout my co-op years with no ill-effects. The detergent I used then was Seventh Generation's powdered detergent, which is a mostly washing soda based product like my homemade stuff is. However, now that I'm using my homemade stuff, I have noticed that if I do not use a fabric softener, my clothes feel a good bit stiffer after drying than they did before. A little research and some basic high school chemistry eventually brought me to the conclusion that the soap in my homemade detergent might be bonding with the few hard water deposits (calcium and magnesium cations) in our water and leaving a very fine residue of soap scum in my fabrics that was contributing to the stiffer feel. Any residual alkalines (the borax and washing soda) in the clothing would only serve to increase the scratchy feel. The solution here is really simple: introduce an acid to the rinse cycle to dissolve the soap scum and neutralize residual alkalines. Enter my first DIY softener: distilled white vinegar.
As it turns out, I'm not the first person to think of this. Martha Stewart advocates using between 1/4 and 1 cup of white distilled vinegar in the final rinse cycle as a fabric softener. I've started to do this, either by pouring vinegar directly into the machine's softener dispenser (mine takes about 1/4 cup) or by putting greater amounts into a Downy Ball and putting it into the machine, and I've been pretty pleased with the results. My fabrics aren't ultra-soft in the way they become using commercial fabric softener, but they're definitely softer than using detergent alone, no matter whether the detergent it is homemade or commercial. Moreover, using vinegar in place of laundry detergent has been promoted by Frugalistas all across the Internet. After all, a 120-load bottle of Downy (103 oz or 0.8 gallons) costs about $11, but two gallons of Four Monks white vinegar (which would do 128 loads using 1/4 cup) cost me $3.91 at Costco last week.
Unfortunately for me, using vinegar as a fabric softener doesn't exactly help me reduce my plastic load as I would have to purchase two larger plastic bottles of vinegar to get the same number of softened loads as the smaller Downy bottle. Since doubling my plastic dependency isn't the goal of this challenge, I need something that can work the same as vinegar, but is sold in solid form so that it doesn't need a plastic or glass container. I need a weak acid that comes in a powdered form.
I think I have found a winner in citric acid. Like acetic acid–the acid which in an 5% solution with water forms vinegar–citric acid is a weak acid. It's also not uncommon to use citric acid in the household: solutions of citric acid and water are is the recommended way to descale–or to remove hard water buildup–from expensive espresso machines, dishwashers, washing machines, boilers, radiators, and water softeners. Citric acid is also an active ingredient in many commercially prepared cleansers. In short then, I really think this could work.
Chemically, there are some differences between acetic acid and citric acid. Acetic acid has a relatively simple chemical structure with only 8 atoms [CH3COOH]. It's also a monoprotic acid, which means that it has only one proton to potentially donate to a water molecule (to form one hydronium molecule). Citric acid, on the other hand, is a larger molecule with 21 atoms [C(OH)(CH2CO2H)2CO2H] and is a triprotic acid, which means that it has 3 protons to potentially donate to 3 different water molecules (to form 3 hydronium molecules). The acid dissociation constants for each of these proton donations are very close together (with pKa values of 3.13, 4.76, and 6.40), but are also in the same general range of acetic acid's dissociation constant (pKa=4.75). What this means is that the buffer region (the region where the solution will resist a change in pH despite the addition of a base) for citric acid is a lot broader than it is for acetic acid. For my laundry purposes, this means that if I have two equivalent amounts of citric acid and acetic acid in solution and I add the same amount of a basic (or alkaline) substance to each, the citric acid solution will stay at its pH for a longer amount of time. If I want to make sure to dissolve all the residual alkalki and soap scum in my fabrics, this is an incredibly attractive property.
At this point, all I really need to know is what concentration to make my citric acid solution for effective fabric softener use. Alas, this is also the point where my chemistry knowledge is very imperfect. My first instinct was to create a citric acid solution with a pH close to distilled vinegar (which hovers around 2.4). According to this online pH calculator, a citric acid solution of pH 2.36 has a concentration of 0.03 M. This means that there are 0.03 moles of citric acid per liter of the total solution, which then translates to 5.76 grams of citric acid per liter of solution or 21.82 grams per gallon. Since there are 453.6 grams per pound, a 50 pound bag of citric acid ($2.50 a pound, shipping included), will yield 1039 gallons of solution (at a cost of $0.12 a gallon!).
When I mixed this concentration up, though, I was slightly disappointed. The resulting solution was definitely sour–perhaps a little less so than lemon juice–and it definitely created a reaction with baking soda…but that reaction wasn't as complete as it was when I used similar amounts of baking soda and vinegar. Ultimately, I decided that this concentration wasn't going to cut it in my laundry…especially when 1/4 cup of the solution would be further diluted by several gallons of water in my laundry's rinse cycle! I decided that my next step would be to prepare a citric acid solution of the same concentration as that of vinegar, which the bottle says has a 5% acidity.
A 5% acidity is basically a volume ratio, which means that 95 parts of distilled water are added to 5 parts of glacial acetic acid (pure acetic acid, which is in liquid form). To get the weight/volume ratio, you need to factor in the density of acetic acid, which is 1.049 g/mL, which means that 5% v/v acetic acid solution is 5.25% w/v solution. To make an equivalent concentration of citric acid, then, you would need 5.25 grams of citric acid and 95 mL water. This works out to 209.2 grams of citric acid for every gallon of water (or 0.288 M), which is almost exactly the amount of 1 cup of citric acid (211 grams). If I used 1 cup of citric acid for every gallon of water, my cost per gallon would be $1.16, which is still a 40% savings on my vinegar budget of $1.95 per gallon).
Although the pH of this stronger citric acid solution is 1.85, which looks like a scary decrease from the 2.36 pH of our 1.5 weaker citric acid solution, it is only about 5 times more acidic than the solution made using 1.5 tablespoons citric acid per gallon of water. In fact, it's about the same pH as fresh lime juice. This solution won't dramatically burn through your skin, but it would be irritating with prolonged contact. You should obviously take care not to splash any in your eyes and to rinse it off your skin. If you were to try to use it to clean something, you'd want to further dilute it, too–just as you would with vinegar.
I've now done several loads of laundry using my homemade detergent and my 5.25% w/v citric acid solution as the softener, and I've been pretty impressed. My clothes were noticeably softer than they were when I used vinegar, and there appears to be no ill-effects to any of the fabrics I've washed.
After I did a mountain's worth of laundry, I got so excited at the prospect of using citric acid as a fabric softener that I looked to see if anyone else had the idea. I actually discovered two European companies that do just this. The German company Sodasan and the Swedish company Tangent both offer citric acid based fabric softeners. Tangent's also been getting a lot of press lately with write-ups in Swedish Vogue, so I suppose there's a bit of an upper-class vibe with these products. The two products are practically identical: Sodasan lists its ingredients as ">30% water, 15-30% citric acid, <5% xanthan gum, essential oil, vegetable betaine, citrate, Aloe Vera" and Tangent lists its ingredients as ">30% Aqua, 15-30% citric acid, <5% xanthan gum, lauryl polyglucose, essential oils from peaches, vegetable betaine, potassium citrate and aloe vera". Sodasan also recommends using 40ml (2.7 tablespoons) of its softener per load of laundry.
What I took away from these products (which are essentially stronger concentrations of citric acid and water plus a few thickening ingredients and scents) is that you can make up much stronger concentrations than even my 1 cup per gallon of water. I'm not entirely sure how strong these commercial formulations are, but if the percentages given are by weight and we assume that the final solution weighs about the same as water, then a gallon of the solution would be 8.35 pounds, which means that a 22% citric acid solution would have 1.84 pounds of citric acid per solution. That's almost 4 times as much citric acid as my 5.25% w/v solution has, and you use only 32% less solution per load than I do! Clearly your clothes can take a lot of citric acid!

This is a film festival sponsored by People in Need, a Czech NGO, and held under the auspices of Vaclav Havel. A major festival each year in Prague, it also travels the world and is this week in Washington. Last night we went to opening night to see a new documentary titled "Gyumri".
In fact, we did not know we were going to a film festival; we thought we were just going to a movie. But a representative of the Czech Embassy and one of the leaders of People in Need spoke, as did the director of the film.
People in Need was formed in 1988, when three young friends, drinking beer, heard about the earthquake in Armenia and the international response, and decided that Czechoslovakia should participate. They petitioned the still Communist government, which contacted the still Soviet government, and started a campaign to collect clothes, blankets and so forth. Thinking it was a one-shot affair, they little knew that twenty years late, People in Need would have a staff of about 250, and be involved in social service activities in over 40 different countries.
Gyumri is the second largest city in the Republic of Armenia, and was one of those hit hardest by the 1988 earthquake. All in all, 25,000 Armenians died, apparently almost 1/3 of them children, often caught in school which, like the Chinese school that collapsed last year, were very poorly constructed. The focus of the movie was on families who lost children in the earthquake, and the children they had post-quake, whom they often gave the same names as their no longer living children had.
The film runs for a little more than an hour. It was completed last year, after four years of interviews and filming, and contains some earthquake destruction scenes, as well as the contemporary ones. It is a very unpleasant film to sit through, but pleasantries are not its goal, and I think it succeeds very well in telling a story.
I realize that there are things that I just don't think about after a major catastrophe like this. I don't think about how the parents of killed children cope in the years and decades ahead. How they are so often scarred for life, living in the past, dreaming about what could have been. I certainly never think about the children who were born after the quake, who know about their dead siblings, who feel compared to them, who feel connected to them, who live with a tremendous amount of survivor's guilt, even though they were not even there at the time to become survivors. It is the agony of the survivors, and the confusion of their children that will stick with me from this film. And because you can look at so many analogous situations: war, famine, tsunami, Holocaust, and so on, I think it is an important, and too often unconsidered, aspect of the tragedy.
There are six more films to be shown over the next three days. We will be unable to attend any of them because of usual schedule crowding. But I am sure that those who do will be well rewarded.
