Some Like It Hot (2006)
About book: How I Came To Read This Book: Danielle lent it to me!The Plot: Anna Percy convinces her LA 'friends' to go to prom - but Sam has another idea in mind. Namely, she's setting out to shoot a prom documentary expose on the B-List girls that plan prom, befriending them yet simultaneously referring to them as the 'prom weenies' behind their back. Meanwhile Cammie is struggling with a dark secret from her family past that threatens her relationship with Adam, and Dee is finally on the path to normalcy at a fancy clinic. The Good & The Bad: This book was a step up from 'Back in Black', as prom is a topic pretty much no one can screw up for enjoyment. That being said, the book oddly spoils a lot of its plot 'twists' in its back cover blurb - twists that don't occur until the last 40-50 pages of the book, which really renders the first 3/4 pretty useless. That being said, this book gave Dean a good opportunity to show off her skills at writing about the life of luxury these kids enjoy, which is probably the most enjoyable part of the books, as unimaginable as it may be. I think the cliffhangers at the end were interesting - and more motivation than usual to continue on with the series, but I also am still not LOVING this series.Anything Memorable?: No...50-Book Challenge: Book #44 in 2008
Some like it hot is a book about a group of highschool students in an A-List group. It's time for prom and the B-List students need one of the A-List girls to help them prepare for it. Will Sam help them when her boyfriend Eduardo might not even be able to make it? And what about Anna and Ben? Is a good friend of Ben threatning to tear Anna's perfect relationship with Ben apart? What's in store for Cammie and her BF Adam? Will Adam find a horrible secret about Cammie's mothers disapperance and When will he plan to tell her? This prom will be heartbreaking, exciting fun, sensational, and disappointing for many, but in the end there will be a few hard choices, break-ups and friendships ruined and put back together
Gotta admit I liked this book because Ben & Anna are tight here. It made me loved their pairing even more. <3 I liked Sam more here, and my dislike for Cammie because slightly lower and made me realize she and Adam deserve each other. Plus, Dee & Jack are super adorable ♥
I remember reading it in the 8th grade and I remember enjoying it so I decided to pick it up and read it again. It's a light read which I enjoy. It talks about a girl, named Rocky who moved from the Philipines to the United States in the 1960's. Rocky falls in love with a guitar player, Elvis. She moves with him to San Francisco and meets someone named Keiko. The three of them decide to move to New York and start their band :The Gangster of Love. I think the author did a great job of really showing direct and indirect characterization of the characters in the book, especially Rocky. I would recommend this book to those who like to read inspiring stories.
So this book was another one recommended by my friend Alexandra. Overall, I thought this book was an okay read. From the cover and title, I thought it would be about some rich girls living snobby lives, stuff we see on the television like 90210, Gossip Girls, NYC Prep type. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE watching those shows, trashy dramas and trashy reality shows like The Hills, but I don't really enjoy reading books like that. I think I'm more of the visual person. THroughout this book, the main plot dealt around prom. Cammie wanted to know who killed her mother and Adam knew almost everything. Adam had a letter that said that Cammie's dad was sleeping with Sam's mom. It turns out that Cammie's mom fell off a boat the night that her dad cheated on her mom. Can I say DRAMA or what? Eh. I don't think I would recommend this book. It was kind of long and I didn't really like the plot.

Gain Competitive Insight with Credit Benchmarking Tools
If you're a VP of sales or marketing, or you head up the risk group in your auto lending organization, you're faced with the constant need to evaluate and adjust your auto lending criteria. Fail to keep up and you could fall victim to the fierce competition seeking to dominate your area. Fortunately, there are some powerful new tools that can help keep you a step ahead of the competition.
Customizable benchmarking tools
Benchmarking tools like Credit Trends allow auto lenders and subprime lenders to see where they stand. "A subscription to Credit Trends breaks down U.S. auto lending data by loan and lease, by client-specified peer groups, by geography — be it zip code, MSA or state — or even by total number of loans, total balances and delinquency rates," explains Richard Heath, Senior Consultant at Equifax Analytical Services. Tools like these break help to down critical data for auto loans by risk score range for origination as well as existing accounts. Subprime lenders, for example, may want to take any FICO ® score less than 600 and break them out with more granularity so that they can see what's going on in the 500 and 550 ranges. "Any number of peer groups, such as internal, primary competitive, captive, non-prime and others, can also be 'broken out,'" notes Heath.
A rear view of critical data points
Clients can even get data points going back nearly a decade, allowing delinquency groups to be back-charted on a monthly or quarterly basis. This can give lenders a "rear view" of auto loans prior to the recent recession. Similar to SAS summaries, these reports break out lending data into a number of categories. For example, the system could sum up Nevada loans originating in 2008 with risk scores of 700+ using loan amounts, balances and 90-day, 60-day or 30-day delinquent loans — all of which can then be used to create charts and comparisons between a lender and their peers.
A leg up on the competition
Using powerful benchmarking tools like Credit Trends can greatly simplify the creation of charts and graphs that senior management needs to show where they stand in terms of their competition. Lenders can get a sense of which of their groups are getting more business — by region, state, MSA or zip code. Lenders can allocate sales and marketing resources to areas where market share is either declining or nonexistent due to competitive peer efforts. Using subscriptions like Credit Trends can also be highly cost effective in many cases. For example, if clients need to "rear view" 72 months of archival data, they receive 72 files — one for each month. They won't have to pay 72 times the archival fee of conventional look-back tools. The system is already set up.
A wealth of key aggregation attributes
Today's new breed of versatile benchmarking tools can provide lenders with a cornucopia of aggregation attributes to analyze auto loans. Credit Trends includes origination vintage (the quarter the loan was opened), origination risk score (the risk score range assigned to the loan when it was opened), current risk score (when the final loan was cut), loan product (auto, credit card, mortgage, student loan, etc.), geography (by MSA, zip code, etc.) and client-specified peer group. A soon-to-be-added attribute can help clients better evaluate loan performance by terms, allowing them to break out loan balances by different term ranges.
These aggregation tools provide another way for lenders to evaluate their market, especially in today's hyper-competitive arena.

Tips To Becoming A Good Parent.
Although for you to do a lot of things in this life, you will need authorization for you to become apparent it this is not required although it is the hards=est thing to do of all. Parenting today is far more difficult than it was a generation ago. Many well-intentioned parents are using outdated and ineffective parenting styles. As a result they experience daily frustration and stress in their home. Below are tips to help you raise kids appropriately.
Ensure that you put parenting first. When you get kids you should let go of your interests and focus on the kid. Dedicate a large portion of time caring your kids rather than caring for yourself. Do not strain everything correctly. Parents who think perfection is expected from them feel burdened and inadequate to carry out parenting.
Give respect to your children and expect it in return. Do not do anything to your child that you would not like your kid to do to you. There are better ways you can use to handle conflict, stress and common misbehaviors. Make sure that you raise your kids teaching the aspect of respecting each other and not just giving them warnings for not repeating the same mistake.
Make sure that you concentrate on the things that you love about your kids. If you do not appreciate your children for what they do best or for good conduct they will try the negative things to get your attention. Always appreciate your kids for their good as this will motivate them to do more of it.
Always be positive to your kids. Parents who react negatively to their kids or deal with their kids roughly may result to your kids being aggressive. When kids are hostile at a young age, they may also be similarly aggressive in their adulthood.
do not be too formal with your kids, entertain them a little. When parents joke and pretend it gives young kids the tools to think creatively, make friends and manage stress. Teach your kids to be self reliant. You can still be there for your kids while still encouraging him to explore his interest. Do not tell your kid what lessons to take, let them pick from a variety of options. Make them feel they can do things even without your help. This will make them confident.
There is nothing to hide if you feel things are getting out of your control. Ask for help from outside. Always consult form those with parenting experience, try new ways of parenting to make your experience more enjoyable.
Lessons Learned from Years with Advice

They don't take much space under the tree. But look for more fantasies and long-sought "experiences" showing up this Christmas morning.I don't know if I'd go in for skydiving or bungee jumping, although a wine tasting trip might be pretty fun.
Instead of sweaters, toasters and paperweights, many adults will be receiving surfing lessons, parachute jumps, spa visits, gourmet meals and exotic vacations as gifts this year.
It's especially true for baby boomers, who seem to have all the household necessities, everyday apparel and appliances they want. Now, shoppers — young and old — are in the market for one-time adventures.
"More and more, they're looking to create memories, in particular things that are different and unique," said Lois Huff, senior vice president at consulting and research firm Retail Forward.
That's what Tristan Wimmer was after when he decided to purchase a $300 bungee jumping expedition in Azusa for his fiancee, Meredith Wardy, who was afraid of heights.
"Giving something material just didn't seem to have much weight," said the 22-year-old Marine from San Clemente. "I figured an experience we could share would be better."
More than one-quarter of all people giving gifts this year will give an experience, up from 20% last year, said Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing, a consumer research firm based in Stevens, Pa. On average, consumers will each spend about $950 total on Christmas gifts this year, according to her research.
"People are realizing they have more than enough material goods," Danziger said. "But gifts that people will experience last forever" as memories, she said.
Danziger, who will give her husband a wine tasting at a museum for Christmas, said that as more consumers looked to give one another experiences, businesses were accommodating the demand. Restaurants, spas and companies such as Ticketmaster are beginning to provide easy ways for customers to purchase experiences as gifts.
And then there are the companies that focus on experiential gifts for the creative, wealthy or just plain crazy.
Take, for instance, the $1.8-million Virgin Galactic Charter to space (not available until 2009) offered in Neiman Marcus' Christmas book or the $2,650 five-day shark expedition offered by Chicago-based company Signature Days.
"We're the typical males who never had any idea of what to get people — we were tired of buying watches and sweaters and shirts," Signature Days Vice President Chris Widdess said.
"We think that a memorable experience makes a fantastic gift."
Signature Days has promoted its experiences in CVS drugstores, Wal-Marts and Costcos across the country, evidence that it's not just marketing to the upscale consumer.
The company, which was founded in June 2004, sold 5,000 experiences last year. This year, it will exceed 35,000, which it provides in the 51 largest U.S. cities, Widdess said.
Some of the choices are unique to the regions where they are sold, such as a Los Angeles option to work out with Jason Kozma, Mr. America 2004 ($500 for two sessions) or stunt-driving school ($2,500). Others, such as massages or personal chefs, are nationwide.
Businesses such as Signature Days and Boulder, Colo.-based Cloud 9 Living drew their inspiration from Europe, where people have been giving one another experiences for years, said Cloud 9 co-founder and Chief Executive Adam Michaels....
Cloud 9 was founded to accommodate what Michaels saw in this country as "an overall shift in society from wanting material possessions to wanting life experiences."

Flagstone Poetry Sauvignon Blanc 2011
By Christian Eedes, 17 January 2012
Flagstone is owned by the prosaic Accolade Wines, previously known as Constellation, at one time the biggest wine company in the world. Luckily, it's run by the often lyrically minded Bruce Jack, who's just added a new tier to the range consisting of a Sauvignon Blanc 2011 and a Merlot 2010 under the name "Poetry".
These are "lifestyle" wines, which is to say they are entry level – the Sauvignon Blanc set to sell at R36 a bottle and the Merlot 2010 at R39.60. "Unbeatable value for money" claims the media release. "After all, we want poets to enjoy our work too!"
The Sauvignon Blanc 2011 offers great quality relative to price. A multi-regional blend, it appears a bit shy on the nose but has lots of juicy fruit and relatively soft, tangy acidity. There's a relatively broad flavour spectrum from lime through melon as well as some herbaceousness and the residual sugar of 5.1g/l is well concealed. Score: 15.5/20.
The Merlot 2010, sadly, is not quite in the same league. Matured on a combination of American and French oak staves, there's no denying a coffee character on nose and palate. The palate is light bodied with red fruit and somewhat tart acidity. Score: 14.5/20

Crosby never gave up hope
Arms pumping, jaw thrust out, with a little leap into his caddie's arms at the end, Nathaniel Crosby stepped out of the family photo album last week to win the U.S. Amateur Golf Championship, sinking a 20-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to cap a storybook finish in which he got all the girls and the Havemeyer Trophy and filled the shoes of his old man, Bing, who may have traveled with a song in his heart but had golf clubs in the car trunk.
When the 19-year-old Nathaniel finished Sunday's 36-hole match-play final at The Olympic Club in San Francisco tied with Brian Lindley, he had already come back from a huge deficit. With 10 holes remaining Nathaniel was 4-down, and with only three left he was two behind. But just when it seemed that the curtain was about to ring down on him, he would roll in another clutch putt, give a whoop and march on.
It had been like that all week, as young Crosby sauntered around and dispatched opponents with a scrappy, buccaneer's style, escaping from trees, rough and assorted flora. Often it was easy to imagine his father somewhere in the gallery, pipe in mouth, the bells of St. Mary's chiming faintly, and saying to Ingrid Bergman, "Kid's not bad."
The sentimentalists, who never get tired of this sort of thing, were made inescapably aware of Nathaniel's connection with his father, beginning with the fact that he was wearing, on a chain around his neck, the medal Bing won for making the field in the 1941 U.S. Amateur. Outside the gallery ropes, Bing's widow, Kathryn, followed the action outfitted in her husband's old hat, jacket and knickers, silently working over a whole raft of rosaries. Additional support was provided by a large group of friends from the Crosby clan's neighborhood in nearby Hillsborough.
After Crosby had made the winning putt and fallen back to earth from the clutches of his caddie, he hugged his mother and tried to keep from weeping.
"Congratulations, Mr. Crosby," said Kathryn. "Hey, what is this? No crying."
"I'm not crying," Nathaniel said. "I'm fighting it."
Later Kathryn Crosby said, "I'm glad the Mother Mary was on our side, but after all, Bing did play all of those priest roles."
It might appear that her son popped out of nowhere to win the Amateur, but the progress of the University of Miami junior has been steady, although his only previous titles were a Santa Clara County championship and a victory in one college tournament, the 1979 Las Vegas Rebel Invitational. That year he was co-medalist in the U.S. Junior Amateur. Crosby is best at match play, in which his scrambling and tenacity can upset an opponent. Coming into the Amateur, he noted that he had won 15 of the last 20 matches he'd played. On Sunday, over the final 11 holes on a championship course, he was one under par and acted like a prizefighter.
Crosby is only 5'10" and 160 pounds, but he is an emotional player, yelling at his ball—"Go!" "Sit!" "Stop!"—as if it were a pet dog. Occasionally, when he is about to hit a putt he truly needs, he will give his putter a sharp rap, as if to get its attention. Whatever, it worked. In his semifinal match on Saturday, Crosby came from 3-down after eight holes to beat Willie Wood 2-up, and at times some spectators almost expected him to look skyward and mutter, "Thanks."
It was obvious that his father was never far from his thoughts. "I definitely felt his presence, and thinking of him calmed me," Nathaniel admitted. "I wasn't absentmindedly touching that medal. He was in my mind all day."
Crosby's theatrics saved a tournament that needed help after the big names—Hal Sutton, the defending champion, Jodie Mudd, the 1980 and '81 U.S. Amateur Public Links titlist, and most of their Walker Cup teammates—made fast exits.
If anyone was born to smash a one-iron, it is Nathaniel Crosby, whose godfather is former Masters champion Jackie Burke. At age three, he was taking up divots in the Crosby backyard. Later he would join in friendly rounds with his father, who always needled him: "You never hit enough club." Recalls Nathaniel, "They were some of the happiest times of my life, on the golf course with my dad. I never felt closer to him."
Bing was a self-confessed golf fanatic who once figured that he had memberships at 70 different clubs, and while he didn't invent celebrity golf, he turned it into an art form with the Bing Crosby Pro-Am, now celebrated early each year on the Monterey Peninsula. Just hanging around, Nathaniel got an invaluable golfing education. On Oct. 14, 1977, when his father suffered a heart attack and died after playing 18 holes (he shot an 85) in Spain, the youngster assumed the sponsorship of the Crosby.
Bing's was a pretty big legend to follow, but Nathaniel has always been a serious sort, not a dilettante. He has said that he plays life one day at a time. He attended public schools, and he doesn't throw his heritage around. Last week he was "yes sir-ing" and "thank you-ing" everyone. In between matches he sipped milk, and on Saturday, on the 18th hole of his semifinal against Wood, when fans yelled, "Down in front," Nathaniel dutifully knelt.
He is, in fact, a likable, self-deprecating young man. Commenting on his relationship with his mentor, former PGA Tour player Toney Penna, he said, "I'm just a punk trying to learn from a wizard." And asked if he was upset when he fell behind in several matches, he answered, "I get sort of ornery out there. I'm a little upset all the time." He also agreed that being a Crosby helped last week: "Everybody in my family is talented. My father, my mother, my brother, my sister Mary. She shot J.R. Gosh, I had to win the Amateur."
He was asked what his father would have said if he had been there to see it. Answered Nathaniel, "He'd say, 'Kid, don't let it go to your head.' He taught me how to be humble. I can't see anyone handling success better than he handled it." And so occasionally, like a good trouper, Nathaniel would even applaud his opponent after an exceptional shot.
A lot of people were surprised that Crosby could play so well, but as a golfer who has borrowed parts of his game from touring pros (Ben Crenshaw's putting stance, for instance), he isn't a vaudeville act. That's a good thing because, although he has a crooner's Adam's apple, as his father had, he has, he says, "no talent as an entertainer."
He is serious, however, about making a career as a professional golfer. "Can you think of a better profession?" asks his mother. "He planned all of this when he was nine. There are plans and there are dreams. He planned it." Says Maurie Ver Brugge, the pro at Nathaniel's home course, the Burlingame Country Club, which is only a couple of three-irons from Olympic, "He works as hard as anybody I've ever seen, pro or amateur. I've seen him bordering on pneumonia, but putting in the rain for hours. He eats, sleeps and drinks the game."
Crosby wasn't too keen about his chances early in the week. He opened with a 72 in the qualifying, then shot an 80. His mother had an explanation: "Some girl in sprayed-on jeans followed him around all day, which just proves that even Nathaniel can be distracted."
In his semifinal match against Wood, a junior at Oklahoma State and a former U.S. Junior Amateur champion, Crosby came out of sand traps for pars on the last three holes. Lindley, to some as much of a surprise as Crosby, went against Bob Lewis Jr., a Warren, Ohio executive who was thrashed by Sutton in the finals last year. Lindley, a 24-year-old from Fountain Valley, Calif., who quit his job as an aerospace engineer last April to concentrate on golf, knocked off Lewis 3 and 2.
On Sunday morning both players were erratic as Lindley worked out a one-up lead at lunchtime. In the early afternoon, as his fans sighed, Crosby was all nerves and bad shots, playing the first four holes in four over par and falling 4-down as Lindley kept rifling low tee shots down the middle. Crosby's only hope was for Lindley to start making mistakes, and that is what happened.
He bogeyed the 9th, 12th and 13th holes, and suddenly Crosby was only one-down. Lindley rolled it in from 15 feet for a birdie at the 14th hole to go back to 2-up, then birdied the par-3 15th from 10 feet. Now Crosby was eight feet away and needing a birdie himself. If he missed, he would be dormied and the match would be all but over. He fingered his medal. His mother picked up the pace on the beads. The ball went in.
Lindley faded the rest of the way, making a big mistake by leaving his approach short and in a bunker and bogeying the 16th hole, as Crosby sank a 10-foot putt for his par 5. Then at the 17th, Lindley put his second into a sand trap, caught a bad lie and eventually made a double-bogey 6, after Crosby had salvaged a bogey following a wild tee shot. The match was even.
Both players parred the 18th, Lindley missing a 22-footer while Crosby was short from 14 feet. He tapped in and all but raced to the 1st tee to begin the playoff. A few minutes later, he was the U.S. Amateur champion, and as he hugged his caddie, he was screaming, "Wake me up, it's a dream!"
Kathryn Crosby, wearing bits of Bing's clothing, such as his hat, kept track of her son's heroics.
With no amulet, Lindley finally ran out of luck.

Gary Bloom at Kyotocollection has got a fantastic selection of tenugui in his eBay shop at the moment, and this week he is having a sale. He has a wide variety of designs, more than I've seen in for sale in one place (and I shopped for a few tenugui on my last trip). There's everything from kabuki cats to traditional ukiyoe scenes and geisha to more contemporary designs like this fun sewing motif tenugui -
Although they are technically towels, tenugui aren't fluffy but flat weave, absorbent cotton and make unusual panels for patchwork, rather like the cotton furoshiki Gary also sells. He supplied the 'rabbits and moon' panel for the 'Furoshiki' quilt in 'Japanese Quilt inspirations and is also the person behind the Furoshiki Shop link on my blog. Unfortunately the large size rabbit furoshiki I used has now sold out, but he has many more furoshiki to choose from. Have fun browsing!

And I'd like to add that what almost all "successful" travel-blogger / influencer accounts have in common is that they make everything about themselves not the content itself.

So if you don't make everything evolve around you, no one seems interested. People seem to like heroes. I don't post pics of myself, cause i don't want to lose focus. I spend hours every week creating original content (both written and visual) so people can actually learn something new and meaningful and have productive discussions. But that doesn't help at all in gaining new followers. The only good thing is that the few followers i have are very engaged, deep-thinking open-minded people who actually read and like to learn and teach.

Online Registration Open Now:
When was the last time you got frustrated because things didn't go your way? When was the last time you refused to listen to someone, because you thought you were right and they were wrong?
We believe that it is the person who hurts us, the job that frustrates us, the situation that limits us, and once we change into a new relationship, a new company, a new environment, we will be fine.
Yet, it's rarely the case.
The truth is, we become so caught up with the external opponent that we forget that the real opponent we need to be dealing with is the one within.

Thoughts From the Coffee Table: What trade secrets do we lock up tight?
I was talking today to someone who used to work for me. It is always good to catch up with him and talk about the joys and challenges of leadership.
He was talking about how important it is to get to know your peers. Your peers can offer advice, share strategies, and allow for creative brainstorming. They can help you reach new heights.
Yet many people shy away from the positives of peer networking fearing giving away their secrets. Worse yet, some only use the peer relationships for commiseration of the "faults" of their company. This is never productive.
When was the last time a peer gave you help, guidance, or support without asking anything in return? Who didn't fear you would use this new knowledge to "beat" them, but rather simply wanted to support a fellow colleague.
Hoarding knowledge takes a toll. It causes fear, doubt, jealousy, suspicion. Emotions that erode you from the inside out. That chip away at your confidence. That isolate you.
I saw this last week in a dilapidated garage. I don't know what happened, or whether what was inside was kept safe.
Today, let down your guard. Give away a secret. Make a difference in the career of a peer.
And see what kind of treasure that brings you.

Yikes! I hadn't shopped there for nearly a year, when purchasing a paperback for myself later given to my father-in-law. While 5th Avenue Books is gone, online counterpart Schrader's Books will continue selling used titles through Amazon. As someone who almost exclusively reads ebooks, I occasionally—but, honestly, rarely—shopped out-of-prints not available in digital format, almost always finding the sought-after read.
That last purchase: The Past Through Tomorrow by Robert A. Heinlein, an old-time favorite selling for three bucks. When I first bought the anthology in high school, it came as a set with two other titles: Stranger in a Strange Land and Time Enough for Love. During the last year of my father-in-law's life, reading became his main recreation. I donated the Heinlein title to that cause. Following the 95 year-old's death nine weeks ago, I reclaimed the book to read and as remembrance.
The Student
My wife's birthday 2016 marks the 40th year since her high school graduation. The pic is from her yearbook. Photographer is unknown—by Anne or me, I love the composition, which is appropriately arty. Anne, age […]
Bump Art
Sometimes I am shocked to find myself out of touch with popular culture—and that's a terrible admission living in Southern California, where pronounced body art can be seen everywhere. Yet, not until yesterday's Flickr Blog post "Belly Paining" and link to small gallery of photos had I ever seen such a thing.
Yeah, my wife and I are middle-aged parents with a daughter in college—removed from immediate contact with expectant-mother lifestyle. Nevertheless, how in the land of tattoos could I miss something so interesting, creative, and personally expressive? What a wonderful way to celebrate the joys (and hardships) of pregnancy.
The Heroes Are Us
Tomorrow night begins my seventh sojourn to the greatest geekfest and pop-culture event on the planet. Imitator shows are everywhere this Century, but none commands character and class like the original. San Diego Comic-Con is an amazing amalgamation of hopes and aspirations—and the grandest storytelling—where, for four days and a Preview Night, tens of thousands of people can be themselves—fit in, rather than feel oddball—or be whom they would want to be by dressing up as beloved superheroes or villains and by adoring the storytellers and actors behind them.
The first, full three-day event took place from Aug. 1-3, 1970, at the U.S. Grand Hotel, with about 300 attendees and sci-fi luminaries, including Ray Bradbury and A.E. van Vogt. This week, 130,000 attendees will storm San Diego Convention Center to enter an alternate reality, where the social rules binding them everyday no longer apply.
Will Taylor Swift's Apple Admonishment Strike a Chord?
"This is not about me", singer Taylor Swift writes in a Tumblr post that is viral news everywhere today. She explains why her newest album, "1989", will not be available on Apple Music when the service starts on June 30.
"This is about the new artist or band that has just released their first single and will not be paid for its success. This is about the young songwriter who just got his or her first cut and thought that the royalties from that would get them out of debt. This is about the producer who works tirelessly to innovate and create, just like the innovators and creators at Apple are pioneering in their field—but will not get paid for a quarter of a year's worth of plays on his or her songs".
Comic-Con Heroes: The Departure
They say the end is only the beginning. Today's installment ends serialization of my ebook Comic-Con Heroes: The Fans Who Make the Greatest Show on Earth. On July 8, 2015, after my current commitment with Amazon KDP Select ends, the tome's release into the public domain begins—as promised. I plan to make copies available here, from Bunny Bows Press, and most likely Smashwords. I am still working out final logistics. Free also means removing the book from Amazon, which doesn't permit the option. I am exploring a one-cent alternative.
A week ago, I posted the last of the dozen profiles, in order of appearance: The Dark Knight, The Fighter, The Collectors, The Academic, The Nerd Culturist, The Writer,The Bicyclists, The Heroine, The Time Lord, The Volunteer, The Vendor, and The Millennial.
Comic-Con Heroes: The Vendor
Serialization of my ebook Comic-Con Heroes: The Fans Who Make The Greatest Show On Earth rapidly winds down. With today's installment, three remain, before I release the 2013 tome into the public domain, on July 8, 2015, when my current commitment with Amazon KDP Select ends. The other profiles, in order of appearance: The Dark Knight, The Fighter, The Collectors, The Academic, The Nerd Culturist, The Writer,The Bicyclists, The Heroine, The Time Lord, and The Volunteer.
I interviewed the last two Comic-Con 2013 attendees on the final day, for which tickets cost a little less and when San Diegan families flow into the conventions center. You can only really appreciate what the Con represents, as a cultural phenomenon, by mingling with the last-day crowds.
Flickr a Day 59: 'Men of Patience'
The second month in this series wraps up with an intimate photo from the 1st International Hong Kong China Tattoo Convention, where See-ming Lee shot self-titled "Men of Patience" on Oct. 6, 2013. "Most of the photographs I have taken from this day was made possible mostly because of the excellent low-light high ISO performance of the [Canon EOS] 6D", he explains, "combined with the super 100-400mm [lens] which allows me to photograph people from afar without alerting their attention". Vitals: f/5.6, ISO 4000, 1/320 sec, 260mm.
There are different philosophies of photography. Some shooters like to get in close to their subjects, interacting with them. Others like to keep the distance, which is a good approach for an event like this one.

Written in Blood by Layton Green
English | 2017 | Mystery & Thriller | ePUB, MOBI | 2.1 MB
A career homicide detective returns to his small hometown and is soon asked to investigate a series of local murders with a perverse literary twist.
Detective Joe "Preach" Everson, a prison chaplain turned police officer, is coming home. After a decade tracking down killers in Atlanta, and with a reputation as one of the finest homicide detectives in the city, his career derailed when he suffered a mental breakdown during the investigation of a serial killer who was targeting children.
No sooner does Preach arrive at home in Creekville, North Carolina—a bohemian community near Chapel Hill—than a local bookstore owner is brutally killed, the first murder in a decade. The only officer with homicide experience, Preach is assigned to the case and makes a shocking discovery: the bookstore owner has been murdered in exactly the same manner as the pawnbroker in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.
With the help of Ariana Hale, a law student and bibliophile who knew the victim, Preach investigates the local writer's community. As their questions increase, a second body is found, this time eerily resembling the crime scene in a famous Edgar Allan Poe novella. Preach and Ariana realize that their adversary is an intelligent, literate killer with a mind as devious as it is disturbed. And one or both of them may be his next target.

Calgary Journal reporter Jackson Reed spoke to Holloway about his time as an Oiler forward.
Video produced by Jackson Reed
The Oilers head coach Tyler Deis has high praise for the forward.
"He's an exceptionally dynamic player. He's got a ton of speed; he does everything at a high tempo," says Deis
Following the end of the season, Holloway will join the University of Wisconsin in the NCAA. A process has been ongoing for two years for Holloway.
"I talked to a couple of schools, but Wisconsin was definitely at the top of my list. When they offered for me to commit, it was no question I wanted to be there," says Holloway.
Before Holloway heads to Madison, he is helping the Oilers in their quest for a championship. They are currently in the third round of AJHL playoffs against the Brooks Bandits.

Strawberry Cloud Cream
150 g Finely chopped strawberries*
110 g Caster sugar
1 Egg white
Thickened cream
* You will need ~200 g of strawberries. Cut off any blemishes & white parts (if any). Other berries can be used - so far I have tried raspberries & blackberries.
Finely chop the strawberries & put them into a microwaveable bowl.
Add in the caster sugar & stir to combine.
Gently warm the strawberry mix in the microwave. Warm the mix until the majority of the sugar has dissolved.
Blitz the mix with a stab blender.
Pour the mix through a sieve into a small saucepan. Extract as much liquid as possible.
Gently boil this mix for ~4 mins, stirring it occasionally to stop it from catching on the bottom of the saucepan.
While this mix is boiling start whisking the egg white (using a stand mixer).
Turn off the heat under the saucepan & wait for the bubbles to subside.
Pour the strawberry syrup in a thin stream into the whisking egg white. The heat from the syrup will cook the egg white. Scrape the saucepan to get as much of the strawberry syrup out & put it in with the egg white - it will be very sticky. Stop the mixer, scrape down the sides of the bowl & continue whisking until the mixture has cooled.
When cool the mixture will be very stiff & faintly pink. Essentially this mix is a Strawberry flavoured Italian meringue.
Weigh the amount of Strawberry meringue & pour in an equal amount of thickened cream. Stir to combine. It will have the consistency of whipped cream. Use it as a filling between cake layers.

Our longitudinal care clinic is achieved through multiple elective rotations, emergency room, and through the Internal Medicine continuity clinic. This experience counts a minimum of 33% of the residents' training. The continuity clinic is completely achieved through residents attending half a day/whole day scheduled every three weeks throughout the year at the Westown Health Center.
The number of patients and responsibility of residents gradually advance throughout the three years of training. The Westown Health Center schedules the same patients be seen by the resident for their follow-up appointments to maintain a continuity of care. We have a robust primary care experience which includes caring for diverse local communities and large underserved populations.
- The residents will discuss with their preceptor, each patient, both new and old, whom they see in the longitudinal care clinic and should feel free to have the preceptor confirm any uncertain physical findings.
- The preceptor will review pertinent historical information and/or physical examination findings with the resident and the patient.
- The attending physician is required to sign on all patients seen by the resident, certifying his concurrence with the plan of diagnostic and therapeutic intervention by the resident.
- The preceptor supervises all the residents in the longitudinal care clinic and evaluates the residents on a quarterly basis.
- The preceptors who precept the residents' activities in the longitudinal care clinic is also evaluated by those residents.

Please save the Milwaukee Mile. It was always one of my favourite tracks back in the CART days. Now, even if a big name like Indycar can't be drawn back in, this track needs to be saved for those of us who compete on an amateur level.

stuart cummings May 17, 2018 | Omaha, NE
I have been to the track many times in the past for Champ Car and IndyCar races, and truly hate to see this venue go away. I have many fond memories of past races I have enjoyed there. It was a yearly trip I always looked forward to.

Went to my first race at the Mile in 1965. Nothing can compare to a one mile, low banked true oval. I miss it. I've been to Indy, Daytona, Michigan and Chicagoland and they can't match the up close excitement that Milwaukee offers. It would be a shake to give up on it.
Sheena Sass April 24, 2018 | Big Bend
This racetrack should be registered as a historic landmark not turned into more empty strip malls. West Allis should be fighting harder to save the mile!

The Milwaukee Mile is one of the wonders of the world. There is way too much racing history to close this racetrack down. I can recall that the late Andy Granatelli stated that this was the best oval raced on after the Indy 500. Racers loved it and kindly reconsider shutting it down. Thank you.
David Feggestad March 30, 2018 | Rockford , IL
Save the Mile: This facility has much history and way to much potential for a bright future just to let it go to waste. Would be a shame not to at least try and lure a promoter that will bring back some form of top notch racing.
Lance Oujesky March 25, 2018 | Bedford, Texas
The Milwaukee Mile just as much apart of American Motorsports History as Indianapolis is. This historical track must be preserved and brought back to use by a Championship Racing Series, hopefully the ones that made it famous, IndyCar and NASCAR.
I plead that you see the importantance and significance of this place.

Milwaukee cannot afford to lose a gem like the famous Milwaukee Mile. The track got tons of media coverage when the CART race was held a week after the Indy 500 and was a very successful race weekend. INDYCAR, please return the schedule to the early 1990s with the Mile in early June and Road America in August or September! I was so proud to live in a city with two of the best racetracks in the world within an hour of my house. Please save this important historical hallowed ground!

The celebration of progress brings hope for the future, however we MUST be cautious to ensure that our future has a strong foundation or it will simply be false dreams that will surely crumble beneath our feet. As we look to create a strong future, we must never sacrifice our heritage.
The "Milwaukee Mike" is proof to the strength and character of the motor racing industry. We need to dedicate our efforts to preserving who we are and where we came from because a future that is not built on the strength of our past is no future at all.

Please bring back the Milwaukee Mile. I remember going to the IndyCar races the week after the Indianapolis 500. It was so much fun. I remember the stands being so full that no one could find a place to sit. It's so sad to see such a historic race track being dismantled and not being used. I'm 38 years old and have been following IndyCar racing since I was 8. Drivers loved racing here because of the history and the challenges.

This track is an American gem. I made the last IndyCar race held there and was struck,by being there, of its historic relevance as well as its unique setting at the fairgrounds in West Allis. This track needs to be saved and needs to be back on the IndyCar schedule.

Please keep the legend around. Ive gone to this track for 25 plus years growing up and would love to continue the tradition with my family. I looked forward to timetrials on Saturday with my dad and then race day as a whole family. Please bring back the tradition

This track needs to stick around it's been around and come to far to just be forgotten. I think the best thing by far would be to have it the week after the Indy 500 like back then. The racing wasn't the best the past few times the series went there but the new universal aero kit should make for better racing. Bring back the mile!

Save the Mile! One of the Best places for racing, and so much History!

Last night, I made progress on the stars quilt and I started to make a Sew Together bag to donate to a work fund raiser,
Here is the quilt on the design wall. I still need to disperse the colors around a little. The pattern is a free one from Judy's site.
Once those were on the wall and out of the way, I started the Sew Together bag. This is the fourth time I have made this bag and it is definitely easier. I got the fabrics cut and just over halfway through the pattern in about an hour.

Awesome looking quilt! I've been eyeing that Sew Together bag. Do I really want to make one? Love the stripes and color combo you are using.

It's looking good! I love the progress on that. Seeing that gives me an idea for that using a black and white print and solids. Keep it going!!!! I want to see how it turns out!!!
