Waiting for the bus
Sherri Knight of Kingsport stands patiently in the rain Wednesday morning on Stone Drive, waiting on a KATS bus to take her to the Oasis church in downtown. Though she missed the 10 a.m. bus and was running late for bible study, Knight was still in good spirits.

Pilots have Valentine Social for Henry Clay
As one of the community projects sponsored by the Pilot Club of West Point, the Pilots treated the residents of the Henry Clay to a Valentine Social.
The Pilots brought finger foods and desserts for the residents, presented them with Valentine cards, and gave them each a gift matching the number on the back of each card. Residents enjoyed visiting with the Pilot Club members.
"We always enjoy visiting with the residents at the Henry Clay," said Amy Waide, president of the Pilot Club, said. "We made a donation earlier to Dee Mathis, of household supplies for the residents, to help those on a budget."
Waide thanked the members for bringing so much food to the social to help make it a success.
"Every member is here tonight," Waide said. "After so much sickness and the loss of family members lately, it's nice to have everyone in attendance."
Waide told the club members the District Meeting would be April 13 - 14 in Tupelo at the Hilton. She asked that several members attend to represent the West Point Club.
"The Pilot International Convention is July 27 - Aug. 1," Waide said. "We will be going to Nashville, Tennessee for the event. Once again we would like to have as many members as is possible to attend. If you know you are going, register as soon as possible. Early registrations saves you a little money."
Jeannie Johnson reminded members to continue selling raffle tickets for the gun raffle until Wednesday, Feb. 28.
The gun being raffled is a Winchester semi-automatic shotgun with a 25" barrel, in Mossy Oak Bottom Land Camo. It shoots 3.5 shells.
"The tickets are $5 each, or 5 for $20," Johnson said. "Any member of the Pilot Club has tickets and will be glad to sell them. The person who wins must be at least 18 years old."
Johnson said this is a very nice gun that retails for more than $900. She said it is a great turkey gun with Spring Turkey Season opening Mar. 15 - May 1.
"The drawing will be held at 10 a.m. March 1, at Gary's Pawn and Gun in West Point," Johnson said. "Just in time for Turkey Season. This is a great gun for a man or a woman, or would make a very nice gift. Ticket sales are going very well, but we don't want anyone to be left out who would like to buy tickets. "
Johnson said all raffle tickets and money need to be turned in by time for the drawing. Tickets can be purchased from any member of the Pilot Club of West Point.
"Next month our meeting will be March 6," Michelle Estes said. "We changed the meeting in March due to Spring Break. A lot of us work for the West Point Consolidated School District, or have children or grandchildren who are out of school that week and we tend to plan vacation time. We agreed a couple of years ago it was better to change the date."
Cathy McKinney said the Pilots would be accepting canned and non - perishable food items for the Project Homestead Food Pantry through the end of March.

Counselling for Depression and Low Mood
Counselling for Stress
Whether it's alcohol, smoking or other substances, counselling can help identify the underlying factors and it will also help you to identify patterns and thoughts and change your behaviour, so that the substance use becomes more manageable.
Help Dealing with Bereavement & Loss
Self-esteem is how you think and feel about yourself; how much we like ourselves influences our well-being and happiness, our relationships and how we communicate in social situations, at home, school and at work. Low self-esteem can send negative thoughts about yourself spiraling out of control.
*Anger is a healthy emotion. In fact, it is a normal physical reaction to threat and stress. Often though, we find ourselves communicating our anger in destructive ways or ways which doesn't help to resolve the difficulty. It keeps us going round and round in the same cycle.*
*Any traumatic event in which the person's life, or integrated sense of self, can cause a post traumatic stress reaction.*
If you have suffered some form of abuse in your childhood or have experienced assault or rape as an adult, it is likely that you may be experiencing emotional difficulties.

Big weekend
Now, go to iTunes and download Cream vs The Hoxtons - Sunshine Of Your Love (Radio Edit). Before you play it, imagine being in the middle of 50,000 people in Hyde Park. Something like this...
On stage is Fat Boy Slim who's mixing up a fucking storm...
And I don't use the word fuck lightly...
Now play that song I told you to download. Yes, I was in fucking heaven. We were dancing, drinking and it was fucking awesome.
The first rule you should know is that boys at music festivals are much hotter than those at gay pride.
I whinge about my job except when it gets me into the VIP area.
There are comfortable chairs for lazy people to sit in. And the bar is free which is why I order about 20 mojito royales.
Then we head to the field to watch Fat Boy Slim who is playing that fuck-off Hoxtons song.
At some point I was drunk enough to enjoy a goddam Dunhill cigarette which is like smoking old boots.
That's Katie. She's ma bitch. Yes, that's right. Corrupt the kids! I think the song "Fat Boy Slim is fucking in heaven" was playing...
I wanna see this dude in 20 years time. Legend. This, however, is not something I wanna see. Bad tan, bad tattoo (and a bit gay).
And this picture segues nicely into gay pride, which is where I was earlier in the day. While there, I met this guy...
Another legend! He detected South African in my accent and told me about the first time he attended Pride in Johannesburg. This man deserves all the respect he gets, he was so friendly and unbelievably normal. Absolute class.
The most surreal moment at Pride was when this bloke tried to hand me a flyer extolling the virtues of Manhunt. I never know if they hand them out to the people who they think need it the most, so I politely declined his offer.
Even though I was so tempted to say something, I didn't. Funny ol' things, these blogs.
By the end of a very long day I was suitably under the influence and generally happy. Which is why I have this need to drape myself over £120,000 sports cars, particularly Aston Martins.
Okay, so when I said there were no hot guys at Pride, maybe I was being a little unfair. You like?

Timmy: It's Sunday afternoon and I'm still a bit drunk which means it was a brilliant day. Are you in London? Do you want to come to Counting Crows?
Is anyone going? Please tell me and let's make a team.
David: Yes, I think you're right. Are you in London? Do you like Counting Crows? Huh?
- 6 July 2008 at 15:54

Czech: Yeah, it was London Pride yesterday. I have hundreds (kinda literally) more pictures that I'm going to have to post.
Make sure you don't miss Soho Pride then. I think it's sometime at the beginning of August.

ps the guy with the stonewall football shirt is in one of the pictures on my post here, when we went to the dogs in March with Stonewall FC.
He's the one second picture down, with the baseball cap. I recognise him instantly because of his resemblance to Xfe's step-brother.

Oh dear, LP reads this blog? we really do live in a fucking village then. I haven't met any of you guys in person and yet I can identify many of you if I saw you on the street.
we want more pix bobby!
- 6 July 2008 at 17:35
Did you ask Ris Nia if the rumours about Akim were true?
Did you not set the alarm off on the Aston Martin -- surely they just have an alram that goes off if you look at the car too long.
I haven't been to Wireless for a couple of years - do they still let you text images to go up on the big screen? Lots of fun to be had there.
- 6 July 2008 at 18:30

David: Of course London Preppy reads this blog. I pay good money for someone to hold a gun to his head to make sure that he does. (I'm lying actually)
I will post more pictures, promise.
Fleet: Ah! I forgot about that! How funny that you should remember. I should have asked - well, imagine getting ALL the gossip that he knows, it would be brilliant. And I don't know about texting. Maybe you can but I was on the wrong side of the alcohol to notice.
If you wanna text me dirty messages I'll give you my number.
- 6 July 2008 at 19:35
Thanks for the offer on the number - but I can probably get it off the toilet wall next time I come to London :OP .
Glad to hear you had a good time.

Drew: Er?! I checked my jeans and there are no buttons on the bum side so I hope it didn't scratch. Besides, what's it doing in the street if you're not supposed to lie all over it.
Dick: The guy in the green shirt was very beautiful. Not handsome but beautiful. Magneto was neither but was very cool nonetheless.

Twenty one is not yet old enough
to understand truly the gravity of that
four letter word you two toss around.
You might think you love her
when she lifts that magnificent curtain of
shimmery hair, her necklace
held together by a paperclip,
or when you hear her tiny, familiar whistle
escape from those two sweet apple slices,
she searches for you among crowded grocery aisles-
you can't help but run to her.
Will it still be love when she calls
from a movie theater on an unsuspecting
afternoon, and your lips curl up when her
name lights the screen. But the mood changes
once her words cut the string you tied to her
months ago and her far away fingers reach over
the satellite connection to steal
love right out of your throat-
she'll keep it balled in her pocket,
surrounded by swollen fist.

After the sweltering heat of the Acropolis hill, we made our way to the next line where we waited to get into the new Acropolis museum. Our motivation to visit this had a bit more to do with the air conditioning than with anything we could see inside! After recovering in there, we decided to tackle the other major tourist attraction right around the corner, the Agora and Areopagus. It was quite humbling to climb the slick marble of the Areopagus and know that we were standing in a place where Apostle Paul once stood and delivered a sermon to the Greeks (Acts 17).
Dripping with sweat, we walked the narrow streets back to the hostel, collected our bags and headed off for the metro to take us to the airport. Then the adventure really began...the metro line we wanted to take was closed and we had to take the much longer route...if we thought we were sweating before, that was nothing!!!! We arrived at the airport about 40 minutes before our international flight to Barcelona was scheduled to take off! We had to find our way from the metro station to the check in point, and the signs were less than helpful. We did make it to check in though...and then ran through the airport (we are not even kidding about that one....just so grateful to only have a backpack and no other luggage in tow!). I don´t know that I´ve ever traversed an airport where the gate was so far away from the check-in. I also don´t know if I´ve ever come across a security station that moved as slowly as the one we had to pass through, or if we had ever dripped with so much sweat as we did that entire day. Fortunately, the line was short and we made it to our gate with a few moments to spare before boarding! What an adventure that we will not soon forget and hope to not repeat ever again on this trip (or any other)!!!
So, upon landing in Barcelona, the adventure continued. Again, we landed after dark and had to navigate another unfamiliar metro system. We made it to our metro stop, but couldn´t quite seem to find our hostel. We literally wandered up and down the same street for about 45 minutes, carrying our 20 lb bags on our backs, until a helpful taxi driver and some students were able to point us in the right direction. I don´t know if we have ever been so relieved to see a sign in our lives. When we crawled into bed that night, we vowed that we will NEVER arrive in a new town after dark EVER AGAIN!!! We decided to take the next two days off from everything and bummed around the hostel all day, napping, reading, doing laundry... Yesterday evening, we finally emerged from the hostel where we were being travel-weary slugs, and Sherri discovered her perfect food, spicy chocolate chicken! What a combo, but she loved it!
During our two day travel sabatical, we also seemed to take a sabatical from our posts (sorry about that!) and used all our internet time to do exhaustive planning for the next legs of our journey! That exhaustive planning has continued until today when we finally were able to make reservations for our train out of Barcelona to our next destination, Varenna, Italy. We also had success in booking some nice places to stay in Varenna and the following spot, Gimmelwald, Switzerland.
With the planning done, we finally felt relaxed enough to really take in the sights of Barcelona today. We visited the most famous work of architect Antoni Gaudi - Casa Batlo, Casa Mila, and Sagrada Familia (an incredible cathedral that continues to be built more than 117 years after construction began). What a site...it was awe inspiring. We´ve also enjoyed exploring the famous tree-lined street, Las Ramblas, and the narrow, crooked, personality-filled streets of the Bari Gotic, where our hostel is located. Tonight, we simply strolled the streets and listened to the various talented street performers....only blocks from one another were an accordian player with the fastest fingers we´ve ever seen, a sax player, and a guitarist. Amazing sounds, and what an atmosphere! It was quite relaxing, and Jen, you would be so proud that we just sat and soaked it all in!
Tomorrow night, we take the night train to Varenna (so that we arrive in the full daylight the next morning to find our next home!). Before that, though, we plan to explore the well-known park, Monjuic. Hopefully our next post won´t be so delayed as this one was...
Love you all, Amy and Sherri
ps...We so enjoy reading all your comments! Please keep them coming!

I shared E's double bed while I was in Dubai, causing her house-mates and our friend International Playboy to indulge in dutiful eyebrow-raisings and sniggers. I am sure I.P. is not even the least titillated by the idea, but feels that it is his masculine duty to acknowledge that it's supposed to be hot.
In the past when I have had occasion to spend the night at E's house, I roomed with the W, because I was informed that E kicked in the night. She doesn't kick. However, I woke up that first night because a cement mixer's soul appeared to be in torment beside me. E had warned me that she ground her teeth at night, but I did not expect to have to vault out of bed in fear, wondering if I should press myself against a wall. Actually – being enamoured of sleep – I simply leaned over and asked what the squealing noise was and fell back asleep before she could answer.
In the morning I examined her teeth, amazed that she appeared to still have a full set. She informed me that her doctor had given her a mouth guard to stop her grinding her teeth – scaring the shit out of people, you mean! I snarled – and she put it in at night for the rest for the my stay.
Having gotten the unearthly Texas-chain-saw-massacre fear out of the way, I hoped to pass peaceful, drunken nights. The next night I turned over to feel a warm, furry lump in my armpit. There's nothing scarier than unexpected textures, I feel, especially when you're asleep. I open my eyes in a hurry to find myself face to face with E's cat. I then looked down to find that I was holding its paw. Obviously it's a good thing I woke up then before things between us got…steamy. E came over and kicked the cat out at that point, probably as a result of me having emitted some sort of shriek.

I have been MEANING to go through 5 or 6 boxes that are in my room/closet for two weeks now. I am pretty mad at myself for not having gone through them yet. These boxes are going to be moved OUT of my bedroom and into a storage shed to create room in here. Having this free space will allow me to bring my treadmill into my room and actually USE it. It's been outside and it's like 95 out there. I would just run out there in 95 degree weather but I don't sweat like a normal person. My body has to be like 100 before I even start to glisten. It's a blessing and a curse. I never get like gross sweaty but at the same time, sweating has it's purpose. ANYWAY, back to the point… I am sitting here, typing away and to my right are these nagging boxes.
Let me tell you why I haven't just turned my chair to the right and started going through these nagging boxes. A few months ago I rearranged my entire room. When I did so, I moved the boxes from one side of the room to the other, which put them in front of my closet doors. Maya decided one day that she needed to get INTO the closet [insert gay joke lol jk] and as she did, she climbed on TOP of the boxes causing two of them to bust open on one side. This totally pissed me off cuz I told her NOT to climb over them, and NOT to go into the closet in the first place. You can imagine my frustration, I'm sure. Kids are dumb sometimes.
Anyway, now I have to take everything OUT of the boxes, repair the boxes, then put everything back INTO the boxes. I need a Motrin just thinking about how much of a pain this is gonna be. In the process I have to sort out the "Keep", "Donate", & "Trash" of these. I should take pics. I think I should for one reason… to look at next time I decide to procrastinate. As of right now these boxes are more like a pile of boxes and junk that someone just THREW into my room. It's THAT bad.
Dare I even mention that the boxes have a rival gang of laundry threatening them with a drive-by each day that passes that I don't clean up their 'hood? lol OK, bad analogy but you get the idea.
So this was supposed to be a pep talk, motivation for me to get off my ass and just DO IT! I want that feeling of personal satisfaction and the reward of walking into my room without tripping over a box…here I go. I hope.

A while back, I fell as usual for one of FabricMart's sales and in a greedy frenzy, snapped up 8 yards of coating. Vogue 8346, with it's flared hem, seemed like a good way to start using it up. Between work, school, and marathons of binge-watching Person of Interest on Netflix [Jim Caviezel – enough said], I finally finished this baby after one month!
I started with a muslin – surprise! – sz 10 with no changes. The first change I tried was to shorten the waist by two inches, but moving the flare up was not flattering. Then I tried one inch and half an inch and finally gave up. Unfortunately, I didn't catch what really needed fixing until after I cut into the actual fabric. Muslin fail!
It turns out sz 10 is snug for me in the waist but way too big above the waistline. The shoulders were about an inch too far out and the armholes were gaping. Next time, I will have to try cutting a sz 6 or 8 and grading to 10 at the waist.
For a quick fix, I took an inch off the shoulders and 5/8″ from each side seam grading down to the waist before reattaching the sleeves. It was not an elegant fix, I know, but it did make a big difference!
I also made side seam pockets for the first time. Who knew they were so easy?
Is it bad that the lining is my favorite part? It just looks so awesome peeking out.
Do you see that horizontal seam in the lining? 2 yards was not enough to cut out all the lining in one piece so I had to piece some of it together. I had literally added more of this fabric to my shopping cart before I realized I had big enough scrap pieces to make it work.
Speaking of lining, this lining is not bagged – it hangs freely. I wish I would have known before I got to the last step because all my edges are raw and fraying on the inside, so I don't know how long this coat will last. I did try stitching the lining to the coat but I guess they don't match up exactly so it made the hem look wonky – undo!
Last but not least, for some reason, the pocket hangs past the lining. I saw this mentioned on someone's Instagram post about this pattern as well. She reshaped the pocket. I tacked the pocket to the side seams because my phone is a huge Note 4 and cannot afford smaller pockets.
How do you like that blind stitch hem? I used the blind hem foot for the first time and it was smooth sailing.
And that's a wrap! It's not perfect but I love this coat. I should have tried harder during the muslin stage, but my patience has improved a heck of a lot already. Yay for progress in the new year 🙂
Also, in 2016, I want to remind myself that I don't have piles of fabric in my stash. Those are piles of $$$ that don't have any value until I turn them into something. Here's how much I 'made' from de-stashing for this project:
|Vogue 8346 (Sz 10)
|Easy to follow instructions!
|Midnight Navy Wool/Acrylic Brushed Coating
|$22 / 3yds
60% off
|Pros: Pretty color, warm
Cons: Little scratchy pieces here and there, frays
|Rayon Challis Tulip Rayon Fabric, Red & Black
|Hancock Fabrics
|$13 / 2 yds
50% off
|Soft, doesn't wrinkle much
|Sew-on Snaps
Grand Total: $45
With the remaining one yard of this navy coating, I have this goal in mind:
With the four yards of black coating, I have this stretch goal in mind:
So look out for those!
Thanks for reading!

SOURCE: Stanley TR70 Manual Stapler won't accept Arrow 1/4" staples
It sounds like you have a light duty stapler and are trying to use heavy duty staples. 1/4" refers to the length of the legs not the thickness of the actual staple. You probably just need light duty staples.
Posted on Oct 23, 2008
pull out the spring at the end of the gun. turn the staple gun upside down. Lay the staples in the track pointed side up, push in the spring slide so that it locks. You are ready to staple.

SOURCE: Nothing happens when you load paper to staple.
assuming it is plugged into a good power source and turned on (no offense intended, just getting the obvious out of the way - and I've fallen victim to the obvious myself before), look inside where you put the paper - is there a trigger mechanism? Most electric staplers have them (the paper hits the trigger and the stapler fires), and some allow you to set the sensitivity of the trigger. If yours allows you to adjust the sensitivity, try adjusting it. If it's not adjustable, the trigger probably needs to be replaced (under heavy use, they may need to be replaced every year or so).

SOURCE: how do I load JT21
I was having the problems everyone listed... with the staples loading & firing... I guess the instructions are lousy .. should be ON THE PACKAGE to make it clear.. but.. on the stapler itself on the bottom.. it explains how to correctly load.. you don't put the staples on the piece that slides out.. you slide it out, load the staples in the open tunnel ..then slide the piece back.. that piece is the spring loader... since i finally figured it out ( by coincidence that I turned it over & noticed some faint words printed) - it works PERFECT every time! great little stapler... please fix your directions... seems to be a common misunderstanding!!!

Nick Land is…I'm going to say it. One of the foremost magicians working in Aeonics today. He does not share the political opinions or the working field of most of the kids on the block today…and his fresh, innovative perspective is better for it. Here, he writes about something I've come to realize. Terminator is our story. We have gone from being scared of it to living in it. What future will we make, then?

Deep water soloing. A how to.
by We didn't write this
For those that don't know, deep water soloing is greatest climbing discipline. It takes the best aspect of every climbing discipline and mixes it together to produce something truly awesome.
Bouldering is cool because there are no ropes and little equipment. However, after a few days of carrying a huge, foam square around the forest humping tiny rocks you start to feel really gay.
Sport climbing is awesome because you get to go up high. But, as a good friend once remarked, "sport climbing is neither."
The freedom of trad climbing is cool. Carrying around 80 pounds of gear while taking 3 hours to climb a 5.6: not so much.
With deep water soloing, any and every line over water is open for business. Every climb can be an FA, an opportunity to pick the line you want to do.
After going on several deep water soloing missions at Summersville Lake, we have put together this guide to deep water soloing. The activities described below are illegal, extremely reckless, wildly dangerous and just plain stupid. We don't condone them and neither should you. Sit on the couch and watch football instead.
Ordered by importance.
1. A boat: $120
The Jon Boat is the way to go. Way more maneuverable than the pontoon boat, it allows you to place the climber exactly where he/she wants to start.
2. Booze: $20
I cannot emphasize the importance of Booze. The more, the better. Science has long shown that liquid courage is an extremely important supplement to real courage.
After experimenting with many types of booze while soloing, Tequila is the winner. The reckless, dangerous Tequila drunk seems to perfectly complement deep water soloing.
3. Energy drink
We HIGLY recommend mixing one part 2 and two parts 3 together for a death defying concoction. Prepare to feel like a super hero (for 4-6 hours)*
*Disclaimer: also prepare for one hell of a hangover.
4. Liquid Chalk: $10
When applying, pretend your hands are Megan Fox and the chalk is your favorite lubricant. The message: apply generously.
5. Other: Climbing shoes, sunscreen, snacks.
Total cost should equal about 160 dollars. While this can seem kind of expensive, it is certainly cheaper than a day skiing.
In this section, we demonstrate how one can most successfully apply the above ingredients to deep water soloing
Part 1: The approach
- Pick a line
2Take a loooooooooong swig of booze
3. Apply lots of chalk
4. Stand on the front edge of the boat
5. Have the boat driver slowly drive you towards your starting holds. Grab on, and let the boat pull away
If steps 1 through 5 (especially 2) are executed correctly, you should be on the rock, dry, and drunk as hell.
2. The climb.
Pretty self explanatory. Don't hesitate to pull on choss. Go higher than you think you should. Avoid bees, snakes and hornets. Loud encouragement from a member of the opposite sex helps.
3. The dismount.
At some point, you are going to fall or jump. If you f*ck this part up, it WILL hurt. As you fly through the air, try to remain upright.
The recommended way to hit the water, in our opinion, is the "don't get ass raped by the water" position, also known as the pencil.
Feet together, straight, heels first. Arms at your sides, hands in fists. The water will try very hard to insert itself in your ass, dislocate your shoulders and otherwise hurt you. If you don't fight back, it will hurt. In general, whatever position you chose assume, stay as tight and flexed as possible (see below)
Swim back up, get back in the boat, and repeat until someone gets seriously hurt.
If you are still alive and not arrested after following this guide, pat yourself on the back. You just completed an extremely reckless day. Reward yourself with a pizza and a mouthful of ibuprofen. All climbing photos by Rami Annab

Spring 2018
The following are the course numbers of the classes offered through the English Department (listed within The University Catalog under ENGL). Each number will send you to a brief description of the course, when available.
English 130I: Academic Writing
English 130I, "Academic Writing," is a core General Education Foundation course (Area A2) that introduces you to the challenges of university level writing, reading, and critical thinking. This course uses writing to develop your scholarly curiosity. To do this, instructors focus on:
- deepening your research skills,
- developing your ability to read and respond to difficult texts, and,
- most importantly, helping you through the writing process in a social, collaborative, revision-focused environment.
All writing-intensive GE courses require a minimum of 2,500 words, and students enrolled in English 130 or 130P must demonstrate the ability to criticize, analyze, and advocate ideas with persuasive force in writing. A grade of C- or better is needed to pass this course.
Depending on your instructor, the focus for research in English 130I varies. Your specific course may research issues in digital culture, identity, food, popular culture, or music, just to name a few of the options. The common thread among all sections is an inquiry-based approach to pursuing research questions that are interesting to students.
English 203: Shakespeare in Film
Instructor: Dr. Erin Kelly W 4-6:50 p.m.
Shakespeare's plays were originally performed on the public stage in Elizabethan and Jacobean London. Since then, they have been performed on stages around the world and adapted for the silver screen countless times. In English 203, we will engage with a range of film adaptations of Shakespeare's work, exploring what Shakespeare has meant for different cultures and in different time periods. We'll watch classics like Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood and compare them to new films like the 2015 Macbeth starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. The class includes tragedies, history plays, and comedies like Much Ado About Nothing (see image above from Joss Whedon's 2012 version). In order to aid our discussions, students will read the texts of Shakespeare's plays as well as shorter readings on film theory and terminology. We will think about how his texts work on the page, on the stage, and on the screen. Classes will be a mixture of lectures, discussions, and film viewings.
This course may be taken as an elective or to fulfill the General Education C1: Arts requirement. English 203 can be used to fulfill the Arts requirement within the Ethics, Justice & Policy Pathway or the Gender & Sexuality Studies Pathway.
English 258I: World Literature
Instructor: Dr. Robert Burton TR 3:30-4:45 p.m.
English 260I: Great Books
Instructor: Dr. John Traver MWF 12-12:50 p.m.
English 261I: Women's Writing
Instructor: Dr. Erin Kelly TR 9:30-10:45 a.m.
Can you guess who the killer is before you get to the end of the book?!? Spend a semester testing your sleuthing skills as we read crime fiction written by women from around the world. We'll read classics like Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express (coming again to theaters near you this Christmas, starring Daisy Ridley and Judi Dench) alongside more recent work from Australia, Argentina, Sweden, Ireland, and the United States. In addition to analyzing how these authors craft their mysteries, we'll consider how they engage with larger historical, cultural, and social issues and how gender (of the writer, detective, victim, criminal) factors into it all. We'll also watch movie and television adaptations of some of the work to add to our discussions and try our hand at coming up with a mystery of our own.
This is a Writing Intensive course that may also count for the General Education C2: Humanities requirement or as an elective. ENGL261 fulfills the Humanities requirement within the Gender & Sexuality Studies Pathway.
English 264I: American Ethnic and Regional Writers
Instructor: Dr. Aiping Zhang TR 9:30-10:45 a.m.
English 276: Survey of Early British Literature
Instructor: Dr. Corey Sparks TR 9:30-10:45 a.m.
English 278: Survey of Early American Literature
Instructor: Dr. Matthew Brown MWF 1-1:50 p.m.
English 303: Survey of American Film: American Film and the Creation of Whiteness
Instructor: Dr. Nathaniel Heggins Bryant M 3-5:50 p.m.
This course will examine how major Hollywood films have often engaged in the consistent production and reproduction of whiteness and explored the boundaries of race. The final unit in class will be devoted to contemporary films that depicts an oppositional gaze. Readings will consist chiefly of film history and secondary criticism, and students will be expected to learn, practice, and hone filmic close reading strategies.
English 320: Poetry Writing
Instructor: Jeanne Clark TR 11-12:15, W 2-2:50
One breath taken completely; one poem, fully written, fully read - in such a moment, anything can happen. - Jane Hirshfield (Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry)
The aim of this course is to make you a better writer of poetry by making you a better reader of poetry. Reading poetry—and writing it—is a matter of paying attention, of being alive to the possibilities of language, of learning to appreciate craft, and allowing the poem to be what it wants to be, and all it can be, in combining and reacting with the speaker's sensibility. You will read poems by both established and up-and-coming poets, representing a wide constellation of voices, approaches, and subjects.
Each week you'll complete a poem draft—writing (or rewriting) a poem in response to an instructor prompt. We'll read poems—yours and those of well-known and emerging poets—and talk about what we find there in terms of news and craft. We'll experiment with revision and talk about the art of submitting work for publication. Some of the scheduled class periods will be devoted to reading and to craft issues, and some will be devoted to "workshopping" your poems. The "fifth hour" will be used for alternative activities, both individual and small group activities rather than whole class meetings: visiting art galleries, sauntering through woodlands, talking with visiting writers about writing and the writing life, and so on.
English 321: Fiction Writing
Instructor: Robert Davidson MWF 11-11:50 a.m., M 4-5:50 p.m.
English 327: Creative Nonfiction
Instructor: Sarah Pape TR 12:30-1:45, R 3:30-4:45 p.m.
English 332: Introduction to English Studies
Instructor: Dr. Kendall Leon TR 11-12:15 p.m.
English 338Z: The Environment, Rhetoric, and Social Justice
Instructor: Dr. Aydé Enríquez-Loya TR 11-12:15 p.m.
Environmental justice is mistakenly considered to be limited to issues regarding climate and nature, in general, with little regard to the impact it has on humanity. Furthermore, in the search for environmental justice, epistemologies and the relationships of various groups with the environment are too often ignored further jeopardizing our continued shared existence on this planet. This course will interrogate definitions of the environment, rhetoric, and social justice. This course will also examine the wide breadth of inequalities in environmental conditions as a result of race/ethnicity, language, gender/sexuality, ableism, and economic class. Projects will include various formal and informal presentations, group projects, and public writing and technical writing projects such as Feasibility and Recommendations Reports.
This is a Capstone course that fulfills the Sustainability Studies Pathway and is a Writing Intensive course.
English 350I: Science, Technology, and Literature of Cultural Change: Indigeneity in Contemporary Science Fiction
Instructor: Dr. Nathaniel Heggins Bryant TR 12:30-1:45, 2-3:15 p.m.
This course examines narratives that depict an evolving sense of indigenous people in mid-20th century and contemporary science fiction. We will consider anxieties about race, class, gender, technology, and the environment, and a major theme linking all these texts is the violence associated with colonialism and neocolonialism. Reading quizzes, discussion board posts, and three short papers will contribute to the grade.
This is an approved Writing Intensive course. This is an approved General Education course. This is an approved US Diversity course.
English 356: Slacktivism and Literature
Instructor: Dr. Corey Sparks TR 11-12:15 p.m.
Care about animals? Click a link. Have a favorite political candidate? Hashtag them. Support a particular cultural group? Change your Facebook profile picture. In our digital world it is easier than ever to show support for causes traditionally associated with energetic advocacy. Some critics read these behaviors as the laziness and disengagement of younger generations. Others note the ways "slacktivism" or "clicktivism" is associated with heightened civic participation. This course seeks to think about the conjunctions and disjunctions of slacker activism, including discussions of online identities, of politically engaged literary texts, and of the problems and possibilities posed for activism in a digital world.
English 364: Brujas Y Santas: Disrupting & Decolonizing Chicanx Literature
Instructor: Dr. Aydé Enríquez-Loya TR 2-3:15 p.m.
This course interrogates the restricted roles Chicanas have been forced into as either Brujas or Santas (Witches or Saints) as made evident through history, legends/folklore, politics, and popular culture. Such restrictions are detrimental to the construction of gender and sexuality while perpetuating Chicanas subjugation. This course examines various Chicanx novels, poetry, and short stories to come to an understanding about Mexican & Mexican American culture, Chicanx people, and their Indigenous heritage, languages, and spiritualities. Furthermore, this course argues for a disruption of linear and limited constructs of culture in order to initiate a decolonial approach to Chicanx Literature. This course will include Nahuatl language instruction that will utilize performative and embodied teaching strategies to challenge binaries between mind and body and interrogate academia's tendency to marginalize Chicanx epistemologies.
This course fulfills the Diversity Studies Pathway and is a Writing Intensive course.
English 420: Advanced Poetry Writing
Instructor: Dr. Jeanne E. Clark TR 12:30-1:45, W 4-4:50 p.m.
In this course, you will write new drafts of poems, poems of your own wild imaginings. You will workshop these poems within a community of fellow writers. You will read brand-new, hot-off-the-press poems by both established & up-&-coming poets, representing a wide constellation of voices, approaches, & subjects. You will consider in depth the following craft issues: voice & tone, structure & form, titles, deep revision, & preparing manuscripts for publication.
We will also consider ways for you to support your own writing life, strategies of self-support as well as ways to build community support. You will need to consider ways of developing muscle & grit to sustain your writing practice & to take care of your work.
Prerequisite: English 320, or permission of the instructor. Graduate students may take this course for credit.
English 431: Theory and Practice in Tutoring Composition
Instructor: Dr. Chris Fosen MW 5:30-6:45 p.m. (Internship TBD)
English 431 is a course that prepares students to become paid writing mentors and workshop leaders in a variety of writing programs at Chico State. The course offers direct teaching experience, a chance to think about current issues and theories in the teaching of writing, and opportunities for employment later on. Upon completion of the course, the English 30 program, Student Learning Center, and ESL Resource Center all recruit writing mentors and tutors from our ENGL 431 students.
This four-unit course includes a one-unit practicum that provides students with direct experience working with students at every stage of the writing process. In order to fulfill the requirements of this practicum, students work for 2-3 hours each week as an English 30 "embedded mentor" or as a tutor in the ESL Resource Center or SLC. In these spaces, they will intern under the guidance of experienced mentors and faculty coordinators.
While the course welcomes English majors, students don't need to be in English to be good workshop leaders. In fact, students from across the disciplines—and from a variety of language backgrounds—often make the very best workshop leaders. This is also an exceptional opportunity for students considering a career in teaching as they will become members of a very professional community of students who work with writing at Chico State.
English 441: Shakespeare
Instructor: Dr. Erin Kelly TR 2-3:15 p.m.
Whether you are a lover of the Bard or are suffering from Shakespeare-phobia, ENGL 441 is the course for you. Shakespeare's plays were originally living, breathing moments of popular entertainment, and we will cast aside centuries' worth of stuffiness and difficulty to experience the plays anew.
English 441 is an introduction to the plays of William Shakespeare. We will read plays from all four dramatic genres – comedy, history, tragedy and romance. In this course, we will focus on Shakespeare in theatrical performance, learning the conventions and conditions of performance in Renaissance playhouses, watching excerpts of modern theatrical productions, and performing scenes in class. Through this approach, we will discuss how Shakespeare works within and against the conventions of dramatic genres and consider the variety of ways that these plays can be presented on stage. Students who plan of teaching high school will leave ENGL 441 with notes for future lesson plans. Every student will have the opportunity to put their own voice in conversation with other critics in the final term paper, and those students who plan on applying to graduate school will leave with a good writing sample option.
This is an approved Writing Proficiency course. This course is also an approved GE capstone substitute; please contact Matt Brown or Peter Kittle with any questions. Prerequisites: ENGL 130 or JOUR 130 (or equivalent); ENGL 276, ENGL 340.
English 641: British Medieval Literature: Making the Middle Ages
Instructor: Dr. Corey Sparks R 5-7:50 p.m.
To write or think about the past is not to leave the present behind. In this course, specifically, we will think about the ways that imagining the Middle Ages reflects—sometimes explicitly sometimes implicitly—contemporary artistic, scientific, and political concerns. To do this we will consider several evocative objects as markers for making the Middle Ages: the manuscript, the sword, the reliquary, the astrolabe, the map, and the ship. We will study these objects as they appear in a variety of medieval texts as well as in and of themselves as material objects.
Our engagement with these objects will be multimodal, and it will be rooted in an ethos of critical making. So, complementing readings about objects will be projects that ask students to produce objects as a means of apprehending the past and accounts of the past. The critical making aspects of the course will culminate in a digital exhibition.
We will read some primary texts will be in translation, and some texts will be in Middle English. Critical and theoretical texts will touch on the following topics: historiography, medievalism, new materialisms, as well as postcolonial and critical race studies.

Google Responds To Privacy Concerns With Unsettlingly Specific Apology
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—Responding to recent public outcries over its handling of private data, search giant Google offered a wide-ranging and eerily well-informed apology to its millions of users Monday.
"We would like to extend our deepest apologies to each and every one of you," announced CEO Eric Schmidt, speaking from the company's Googleplex headquarters. "Clearly there have been some privacy concerns as of late, and judging by some of the search terms we've seen, along with the tens of thousands of personal e-mail exchanges and Google Chat conversations we've carefully examined, it looks as though it might be a while before we regain your trust."
Added Schmidt, "Whether you're Michael Paulson who lives at 3425 Longview Terrace and makes $86,400 a year, or Jessica Goldblatt from Lynnwood, WA, who already has well-established trust issues, we at Google would just like to say how very, truly sorry we are."
Schmidt's apology appeared suddenly at 9 a.m. Monday on Google's homepage, Chrome browser, and YouTube, as well as on every single Android-enabled cell phone, and sought to reassure Americans that the company would take all necessary steps to keep confidential information, from Social Security numbers to Gonorrhea test results, absolutely safe.
Acknowledging that Google hasn't always been open about how it mines the roughly 800 terabytes of personal data it has gathered since 1998, Schmidt apologized to users— particularly the 1,237,948 who take daily medication to combat anxiety—for causing any unnecessary distress, and he expressed regret—especially to Patricia Fort, a single mother taking care of Jordan, Sam, and Rebecca, ages 3, 7, and 9—for not doing more to ensure that private information remains private.
Monday's apology comes after the controversial launch of Google Buzz, a social networking platform that publicly linked Gmail users to their most e-mailed contacts by default.
"I'd like nothing more than to apologize in person to everyone we've let down, but as you can see, many of our users are rarely home at this hour," said Google cofounder and president Sergey Brin, pointing to several Google Map street-view shots of empty bedroom and living room windows on a projection screen behind him. "And, if last night's searches are any indication, Boston's Robert Hornick is probably out shopping right now for the spaghetti and clam sauce he'll be cooking tonight."
"Either that, or hunting down that blond coworker of his, Samantha, whose Picasa photos he stares at every night," Brin added.
While admitting that security measures need to improve, Google officials also claimed that everyone makes mistakes, be it storing confidential data indefinitely or, say, "having a few too many drinks on the evening of Jan. 23, driving home in a haze, striking a pedestrian on the corner of Mercer and Cavendish, speeding off, and then desperately searching online for hit and run laws, right, Karen?"
"Americans have every right to be angry at us," Google spokesperson Janet Kemper told reporters. "Though perhaps Dale Gilbert should just take a few deep breaths and go sit in his car and relax, like they tell him to do at the anger management classes he attends over at St. Francis Church every Tuesday night."
"Breathe in, breathe out," Kemper added. "We wouldn't want you to have another incident, Dale. Not when you've been doing so well."
In an effort to make up for years of alarmingly invasive service, Google will automatically add $50 to all American bank accounts as a gesture of goodwill. The company has also encouraged feedback, explaining that users can type any concerns they may still have into any open browser window or, if they are members of Google Voice, "simply speak directly into [their] phones right now."
Either way, the company said, "We'll know."
So far, Google users across the country have responded cautiously to the company's public admission of wrongdoing, with some claiming they will be careful not to reveal any personal information from now on, and others ripping up their credit cards, unplugging all electronic devices from their outlets, and locking themselves in their bathrooms away from any cameras, keyboards, satellite dishes, or cell phones.
"I forgive Google, I forgive Google, I forgive Google," said Ohio resident Darla Mackenzie, sitting on the edge of her bathtub, her head in her hands. "Please, please, don't tell Jonathan about the things I have done

Love the removable, hard bottom; the water-resistant coating on the inside; the hanging pockets inside; the zip closure across the top; and especially the padded handles. I love the Laurel Burch cats, but this is going to be a gift for my friend who is a "dog person." Boy, was I happy to find these puppies!Read More
Lovely vibrant colors and much larger than anticipated. Very happy.Read More
I bought it as a Birthday Gift&my daughter-in-law couldn't stop raving about it! She's an Arts and Crafts person, so I'm very glad she loved it.Read More

I've always loved Laurel Burch designs. I have to carry quite a few items with me and the standard size purse just was not large enough! Now I have easy access to all of my "stuff". I have also received many compliments on my "purse".Read More
I love Laurel Burch so finding this bag was a real plus. In addition, I am a quilter who carries a variety of supplies back and forth from the shop. You can put a lot in this bag and it keeps its shape. The zipper is smooth and heavy duty. You can't go wrong with this bag - it would probably work for some people as a weekender.Read More

My fiance and i will be taking our engagement photos to be used as a save the date. We both have very strong subjects of passion. His is politics and mine is books and old time movies. I too like politics and we are both heavily invovled in campaigns frequently. I was trying to find some inspiration for patriotic themed engagement shoots and many involve people who are serving our country as marines, soldiers, etc. They are gorgeous, but neither one of us is a part of the military. Does any one have any ideas that would fit any one of our likes?
Thanks in advance!

When I was growing up, on Sundays, my parents might stop at our favorite local bakery for all sorts of treats. One of my favorites is their peach cake. I had some beautiful peaches at home and while this cake is not the same as the version I love, it's got all the same tastes and delights as the original. I still recommend going to the bakery if you are in the neighborhood, because some of their items are a must have!
Combine the first 4 ingredients together in a bowl. In a well greased deep 8 in cake dish or pie plate, line slices of peaces along the bottom of the plate. Pour the clarified butter over the layer of peaches.

Unusual Appetites
Worlds worst meal: eating a bicycle. A man did this by grinding it into powder.
In 1743 a teen age boy was observed to have eaten 384 pounds of food in one week. There was another boy (or perhaps another report on this same boy) whose weight increased by 179 pounds in one year from 105 to 284. Like a cow, he ate fifteen hours every day yet was still hungry.
In 1963 a man ate a single meal weighing 54 pounds.
There was an olympic hammer thrower who used to eat a dozen raw eggs for breakfast, complete with shells.
Historians tell us that a sweet onion was the favorite dessert of the Romans.
In Africa, roasted termites are considered delicious.
People in Laos would think you were crazy if you refused to eat giant waterbugs.
When a pineapple was first shown to the infamous glutton King Louis XIV, he immediately grabbed it and took a giant bite. He cut his lips and thereafter outlawed pineapples in France.
Bites From Food History
In the Bible, the fruit that Eve ate in the Garden of Eden was not specifically an apple. In the Koran, the sacred book of Islam, it is called a banana. Some scientists believe the fruit may have been a lemon, because edible apples did not yet exist in the time and place of Eden.
The word salary came from the word salt in Roman times. Salt was used as a trading medium - money.
It's hard to imagine that until about four hundred years ago, European people ate everything with their fingers. When a few people started using forks in England, everyone else thought the idea of using tools to eat was totally strange.
The original reason for tablecloths was as a towel to wipe one's fingers and hands on after eating (My Children still honor that old usage!).
In the eighteenth century, John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich invented a small meal that could be eaten with one hand while he continued his non-stop gambling.
John Pemberton, the inventor of Coca-Cola referred to it as, "Esteemed Brain Tonic and Intellectual Beverage."
Ketchup was originally made from fish broth and mushrooms. Tomatoes were added later. Today, ketchup must contain sugar, otherwise it must be called imitation ketchup.
Fruits and Vegetables
Cherries taste great, but if you eat the leaves or twigs of a cherry tree, you could die.
Strawberries are unique among fruits because they carry their seeds on the outside.
People have grown tomatoes with a strawberry growing inside.
Americans eat 5681 miles of carrots per day.
A genetic engineer in Japan has created cube-shaped watermelons. These stack more efficiently than round ones.
Celery has the unusual effect that the more you eat, the skinnier you will become. It takes more energy to eat celery than the calories it contains.
If you eat eleven pounds of potatoes, you will gain one pound of weight. Until the eighteenth century, many Americans believed that potatoes were bad for your health.
Nine-tenths of cabbage is plain water.
If you store carrots and apples together in your fridge, the carrots will become bitter because they are affected by the ethylene fumes (natural) given off by the apples.
There is a wild edible plant called Hernandulcin which is 1000 times sweeter than sugar.
If you filled trucks with all the candy American kids eat in one year, they would line up bumper to bumper from San Diego to San Francisco.
When the diets of inmates of a Virginia juvenile detention center were changed from typical American junk food to natural foods - cereal without sugar, fruit juice instead of soda, etc, - kids who were chronic offenders decreased by 56 percent and kids who were well-mannered increased by 71 percent.
Around 50 million Americans eat at fast-food restaurants each day.
When you go to a fast-food restaurant, and ask for white chicken meat, you might actually get bleached dark meat.
Americans eat 127 chickens per second.
Just before a game, Babe Ruth had to be taken to a hospital due to extreme stomach pain. He had eaten twelve hot dogs in a row!
Most people don't realize that a hot dog may contain cow brains, lips, eyes, stomachs or tails. Americans eat an average of forty of these things per year, at a cost of six hundred million dollars. If you lined them all up, that line would be about a half million miles long.
If the water used by the cattle business was not paid for by American taxpayers, beef would cost $35 per pound.

Voltaire drank between 50 and 65 cups of coffee every day.
In France the average person drinks over 25 gallons of wine per year.
We Americans drink three million gallons of orange juice per day. We drink over fifteen million gallons of beer daily. This means that on average, Americans drink five times more beer than orange juice.
In Old England, people drank beer with their breakfast.
In the old days, people did not buy beer in bottles or cans at the 7-11 store. They went to the tavern and carried the beer home in a bucket.
If everyone quit drinking alcoholic beverages, twenty million starving people could be fed on the grain saved.
Miscellaneous Food Facts According to the makers of Hellman's Mayonnaise, contrary to popular belief, you can't get sick from their product. They have never had a case of a sick customer. The acid and salt in the product would kill harmful bacteria.

A study has discovered that people tend to eat 44% more calories when they dine with friends than when they eat alone.
A survey was conducted in which shoppers were asked what concerned them most about shopping. Their overwhelming reply: "Long waits in line at the check-out counter." Retailers, take note.
Wetco sells glacial ice to Japanese consumers. It has a bluish tint and pops and cracks as it melts. The tint is simply the refraction of light in ice denser than homemade ice cubes. The noises are from 10,000 year old pockets of air being released. This sound is referred to as "The whisper of the ages." Price: approximately $3 per pound.
For years milk has been prescribed for ulcers, but recent research finds that milk actually aggravates ulcers.

There is more alcohol in mouthwash than in wine.
In the past 4 years sales from vending machines in America has risen by 7 billion dollars to $24.5 billion annually.
In the early 1970's, when Americans were in the worst nutritional position we have ever been in, 90% of women age 10 to 54 were deficient in iron. In cases severe enough to manifest symptoms, tiredness and listlessness would be common. Since that time, the picture has become somewhat better, due to increased nutritional awareness.
So you eat a bowl of salad everyday, and you think this is helping you get all the vitamins you need. In the 1800's this would have been true, but latest evidence indicates that the vegetables grown on modern industrial farms have less nutritional value. They are carefully fertilized to the minimum amount necessary to grow and look good. The land has long been depleted of important trace elements.
The average American eats 16.5 pounds of french fries a year, totaling 2 million tons. This would fill 50,000 of the biggest tractor trailers, and it would clog even more heart arteries.
There is one vending machine for every 55 Americans.
Coming soon: Vending machines that bake and serve a pizza in 55 seconds.
When you heat cooking oil to over 400 degrees and reuse it for a long time, the chemicals in it change. Research indicates that the oil used by many fast-food establishments for frying hamburgers and other foods such as french fries is often quite carcinogenic.
A person drinks about 11,000 gallons of liquid in a lifetime, approximately 1/3 the amount of water in a built-in swimming pool.
In the early part of this century, Fletcherism was
popular. It was an inexpensive diet of milk, potatoes,
cereals and maple sugar, among other things. What was most
unusual about it, however, was that you were supposed to chew
each bite of food for a very long time before swallowing.
Furthermore, you were to swish milk and other liquids around
in your mouth for at least 15 seconds before swallowing. The
leader of this fad, Horace Fletcher, was quite healthy. In
1899, when he was 50 years old, he could outperform athletes
less that half his age. For instance, he could ride a bicycle
200 miles in a single day. And not a sleek 10-speed bike, but
the machine of the day, a single-speed machine.

Autumn …dinners … mushrooms and pumpkin, the colours of falling leaves transposed to the table. Although, with friends coming to dinner yesterday & my mind a blank at the planning stage, neither pumpkin nor mushrooms featured. I realised afterwards that I fell back on old familiar dishes from the time when I lived in the Wairarapa, dishes that perhaps I haven't made for 6 years.
Trish's tomato soup
This I first had at a friend's in Greytown. And like Susie's pasta and many other dishes I seem to turn to, this isn't really a recipe. It uses tinned tomatoes, too, so a bit of cheat perhaps. Anyway … one onion, finely chopped, gently sautéed. Sprinkle softened onion with a tablespoon of flour, & brown. Add 2 tins chopped tomatoes, about 1 ½ cups of chicken stock – but take care, you don't want the soup to taste of chicken – and tarragon. Though I used sage from the garden this time & that worked well. Heat gently, and before serving add cream, season to taste.
Beef stew with red wine
Now, this is an old favourite, another Gabriella Rossi recipe. Black olives & red peppers give it a special touch, and thyme & parsley from the garden contribute a tenuous home-grown provenance. But the recipe's too long to reproduce here … and I'm feeling lazy! Suffice to say, to my surprise, four people demolished a very generous pot full last night!
Crisp nectarine tart
Again, this was a dessert I used to make in Featherston, where we had our own nectarine tree. But at the supermarket yesterday they had, amazingly, ripe nectarines & it's such a simple dessert. A sheet of pre-rolled puff pastry. About 5 nectarines cut into semi-circular slices, arranged artfully on the pastry sheet. Sprinkled generously with sugar – avoiding any on the naked pastry – and baked at 210 degrees Centigrade for 15 – 20 minutes. Last night, sadly, the caramelising sugar dripped off the baking tray onto the element, so I had to pull it out of the oven before the caramelising finished, but still delicious. Especially with whipped cream.
Suppose I should have cleaned the oven this morning … it slipped my mind until now.

A children's life can be hard sometimes, especially when annoying adults are around. ;-)
But kids, I have found the ultimate solution! At least for girls. ;-) So what do you, little ladies, think about this pair of earrings saying: In here, out there? Isn't that a nice way to talk back to… (I am not giving examples, 'cause I know a lot of parents, grandparents and teachers as well and really want to stay friends with them). But however, I would say: Happy children's day! ;-)
So I was thinking to give it to my lovely godchild to wear it as much as she wants and needs to for her own protection in situations like: Sit still! Do your homework! Clean the dishes! Stop watching TV! Be quiet! And so on…
Actually, I am not that much in jewelry. But I am thinking to get a pair for myself, 'cause they are so versatile in use. I really like that gently way to say: Who's talking? ;-)
PS: Go and visit the shop, there are a lot of beautiful hand-grafted things.

Alice Takes Back Wonderland
Alice Takes back Wonderland by David D. Hammons is almost like Once Upon A Time but better and aimed at a slightly younger audience…. If it only had Killian Jones the book would be perfect.
It is sort of a retelling / sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with a bunch of other fairytale and literary characters thrown into the mix. The main plot is that after Alice's departure the Ace of Spades took over Wonderland and is draining the Wonder out of its inhabitants. Alice is brought back to stop him by gaining the support of those she considers make believe.
There are a lot of characters in this book and while a do like most of them my favourite is one of the secondary characters, Snow White. When you have a gangster, gun wielding Snow White you know you're going to have fun. As
for the actual protagonist, Alice, I liked the change in her background while still having a sense of the original Alice with her clothes and sense of logic. I think for the most part Alice is around 17/18, near uni……college (I'm English, American education system is strange to me) age. I had a bit of trouble reconciling her at that age since she acts and is treated like she is a child or early teens. It makes sense for her family to act like that but everyone else, including the author? Well that and I finished reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland not that long ago, while on holiday, so still have the image of a child Alice. It's strange actually because the book starts with Alice as about seven and she sounds older there. That being said I did like her. She was brave and ballsy and I liked her trying to work out why she was saving Wonderland, it was interesting seeing her indecision on the reason. I wasn't so fond of her basically becoming a general in an army, with her age and experience, but I choose to overlook that.
Peter Pan is the leading man…. Boy….teen… whatever, male and I would say I was sort of apathetic towards him. I didn't hate him but I didn't like him either. He felt to me a bit one dimensional. He's grown up a bit from the original story but other than the more advanced weaponry he still feels a like the Disney Peter Pan – not the book one, he was scary, same with the OUAT one- a good leader and a bit arrogant. Other than that there is not much I can say about him.
Speaking of Peter, one of the things I didn't like about the story is the sort of love story. It didn't come out of nowhere, which I was thankful for. There were hints that they would get together like them noticing each other and how they are always seen together but when their romantic relationship starts does come out of nowhere and no explanation is offered about it. Trying to avoid spoilers but after a life or death moment it seems that they are in a relationship or at least, for some reason, start kissing when they feel like it and say nothing about it. It feels a bit out of place.
That can be overlooked though because the story is still really good. It mixes a number of genres and situations from an almost steampunk Neverland to a gangster Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. I actually didn't really start to enjoy it till I read the steampunk elements despite the fact the story gets straight into the plot within the first two chapters and thankfully doesn't draw out the unnecessary background stuff. It has all these new elements yet still keeps Carrol's original nonsense literature ideas like Alice's musing on numbers near the beginning of the book. I really enjoyed the mixture of genres with the new and the old.
There was also a couple of really good descriptions. There was one paragraph that I loved: –
"something cut through the cards like a sickle. It sliced a gateway out of the paper river, allowing me to escape the two-word hurricane."
Lovely use of metaphors and imagery.
One bit of the plot that annoyed me was how much the idea of travelling through worlds and draining the something from the world is similar to loads of fantasy and retelling stories. There are a few mentions that the more times people travel between worlds the more it destroys them- the world that it. Every time it was mentioned I kept thinking His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. That is the main plot in the Pullman series, especially towards the end of the last book. It's also partially used in my favourite retelling of Alice in Wonderland, Syfy's Alice. Actually when the White Rabbit says he "Your world is terrible. And I want to stop if from infecting mine" it sounded so similar to Dodo and Caterpillar in Alice that I felt the need to go re-watch it. Alice also used the idea of draining something which the main character is trying to stop. In Alice it's the emotions from people and in this book it's the wonder from people. It's used in a lot of other stories as well like Wicked and Dorothy Must Die where magic is being used, and also stops the animals from speaking, it even happens in The Chronicles of Narnia, mainly in Prince Caspian. I don't really have a problem with it as a plot but it's more just how many times I've seen it
Just to leave on a good point I feel the need to mention how impressed I was by the interweaving of characters. I'm an avid fan of Once Upon A Time– if you couldn't guess from the beginning of my review- and what I like most about it is that one person can represent more than one fictional character like Cora who is the Queen of Hearts and the girl in the Rumpelstiltskin story. This story does the same but – in my opinion- better. And more thought out. When I read who Captain Hook and Pinocchio where I just kept saying "What" with a dumbfounded expression, kind of like the 10th Doctor when he first meets Donna Noble – Well I thought that and how much one of my lecturers from uni would have liked it since he recently wrote a book on Pinocchio. It was a brilliant twist on the story and made me keep second guessing who the other characters where.
Overall I really like this book. I'd give it about a 3 or 4 out of 5. There were a few bits that annoyed me but I enjoyed it and it really made me laugh. I'd say it was more aimed at early or mid teens but it works for any age – says the 22 year old. It has some interesting mix of characters and genres and mostly all works together.

One of the best tech stocks in this generation is the Facebook Company. It has been generating big sales and vast returns because of the fact that the site is widely used by many, globally. The social media sensation hit the market like a sale on a shop attracting as many investors as it can and resulting to big push in terms of progress.
It may be celebrated as the best but just like the Hollywood superstars, they also have haters and in Facebook's case, some do not entirely love it as a stock. You may guess that it is those who failed to invest in the company but actually it's not. They are the bears who wait for Facebook to hit the bearish signal for them to enter the market. It maybe the best but it's still is faulty. Nobody's perfect but in this case, nothing's perfect. That maybe the case but bears and bulls are actually tied in its performance.
The question is: Where do you stand? But before knowing that you must know the good things about Facebook right now.
Facebook leads the mobile market for the reason that this is the smartphone generation and every user has to have app. The app itself has been a part of the phone as much it is part of the everyday human life. It can be used for educational meetings, personal matters and business transactions.
Zuckerberg's company is always on the works on as to how to improve the app alone. The founder is planning to expand and improve its advertising niche to diversify the platforms of those who want to advertise on the site. Currently, ads generated to a number of 84% of revenue.
Facebook provides countless opportunities as a stock. A key factor as to such is its instagram connectivity generating monetization opportunities. The data mined information has tallied a number of 500 million users who connects their accounts to instagram and thus making generate more money because ads on instagram are prevalent as well.
With all those pros, we can say that the company is a money milking stock. The number of user participation globally attracts advertisers and investors and financial matters will always come and generate higher.
Now attracted? Not so fast.
Again, the Facebook also has bad sides. The company is handling a big pool of market and growth now is slow because of the number of participation. It is growing yes but it may take long to jump from a value to a ten times greater value. And who knows? It might turn out to be a faultless stock in the coming years. It is possible but one must not hope big about it.

Sample text
Mill set-up for fabric, machinery allocation, orders for trims and notions, organization and hiring of workforces, training, engineering of production systems – all are orchestrated by sales forecasts. And more: fibre is grown, compacted and baled; oil is extracted; mines shift into operation and metals are gleaned from ore for trims; wild water is diverted for processing; coal is mined and burned for the production of electricity. This massive infrastructure of resources circulates from one part of the planet to another, and all of it moves into place under the direction of 'pencil-meeting-paper' on a purchase order.
The Global Organic Textile Standard already accepts non-electroplated metal hardware and this option seems set eventually to become standard industry practice. In the meantime, by specifying non-electroplated trims, designers can help foster collaborations and commitments between companies to better ensure that inventory in a variety of alloys is readily available for supplying quick turnaround and small to medium-sized orders. Stainless steel buttons by Levi Strauss, which avoid electroplating.
