Blog Tour Review: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Be warned, this is going to be a long review!
When I was contacted about taking part in the blog tour for The Night Circus, I was intrigued, but I didn't know what to expect. The blurb seems perfect now I've read the book, but before I had, I didn't really feel it told me what the story was about. The official synopsis above is better, but I still wasn't sure what kind of story I would be reading. Then I picked it up, and completely fell in love.
Two powerful masters of magic decide to play a game. They each take a child, and teach them in their ways of illusion, manipulation, magic, with the intention of pitting them against each other after years of study to see how will win. The rules of the game are not clear, nor is how one wins, all Celia and Marco know is that they have to out-do some other unknown - each other - and have no choice in the matter.
Chandresh Christophe Lefèvre is a wealthy, powerful, business man, and comes up with an idea for a circus. But not just any circus, not a normal circus with clowns and silliness. A circus that opens only at night, with innumerable tents with fantastic sights to wow and awe the audience, tents where each is better than the last. A circus where dreams are a reality; Le Cirque des Rêves - the circus of dreams. Whether through fate, coincidence, or design, this circus is where Celia and Marco will do battle, where they will try to create spectacles that will out shine those of the other. The circus becomes entwined in all that both Celia and Marco do, it's fate, and that of everyone involved in it, determined only by who wins.
I cannot tell you how much I love this story! It is absolutely incredible; completely magical and so detailed. The story spans decades; we follow the lives of Celia and Marco from when they're children, from when the challenge is put in motion by their masters, through their studying and through the start of the game they don't completely understand. We also get to see the circus form; we see the conception of the idea, where Chandresh is discussing ideas with a number of close friends he feels can contribute to the success of an idea he has had, through opening night when magical things happen. We see the circus achieve global fame, and the rise of the rêveurs, a world-wide group of fans whose love for the circus knows no bounds.
The is a large cast of characters, and Erin Morgenstern writes with such skill that you care about each and every single one of them, even though there are more than I could count. The romance between Celia and Marco is beyond words, but I'll try; it is intense and powerful, and really grabs the reader by the heart. It is achingly beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. There are sub-plots that follow the lives of various other characters, whose stories are told outside the time of the circus. For example, you could be reading one chapter about the plans for the circus, and the next chapter will jump forward quite a few years and we see young Bailey, a farmer's son, who has just visited the circus for the first time. It sounds like it might get confusing, but it never does. It's a fantastic way of adding to the brilliance of the circus to the reader, making it seem as if it is in existence at all times - the past, the future, it's all now where the circus is concerned. Also, with the sub-plots, we get to see the circus from the outside as well as from the inside. But these aren't just random sub-plots, each sub-plot is integral to the story as a whole, even if you can't see how at the beginning. The reach of the circus, of the story, is wide, and so many lives are effected by it.
Morgenstern is an exceptionally skilled writer. No matter who's point of view we're following at any point of the book, the book is written in third person. Except for when it isn't. Except for those times when Morgenstern writes in second person - no "I" or "he/she/they", but "you". Throughout the novel, Morgenstern brings the reader in by allowing you to visit the circus; she leads you through various tents, shows you different sights, and makes the circus seem real, because you get to "see" it yourself. And the tents are simply magical! Morgenstern has imagination in bucket loads, and she pours it into this novel. I don't want to go into what you'll find in the interiors of the tents, because they are best discovered as you read, but this circus truly is a circus of dreams! You have no idea how much I wish this circus was real; it would be a wonder to behold!
Not only that, but Morgenstern has a incredible way with words! The Night Circus is a delight to the imagination; though only existing in words, the circus is a feast for the senses. Everything is described in so much detail, in such language, you are immersed in wondrous sights, sounds, scents, tastes and textures throughout the novel, making it a luxurious read. The language is so beautiful, it's addictive, with sentences that demand to be read aloud. Each chapter is like the tents of the circus; there's something extraordinary to discover, each word something delicious dipped in sugar. Although the pace of the book can be considered slow moving, to me it was perfect; slow to savour the complete and utter deliciousness of the book! With The Night Circus, Morgenstern paints with words, and she has painted a masterpiece.
This book is completely enchanting. It's like Morgenstern crawled into my head, and from what she discovered, she wrote the book I had been looking for all along, without even knowing I was looking for it. The Night Circus goes above and beyond anything I could ever have wished for in a book. It's not just a story, it's an experience. Quite possible the best book I have ever read, one I have taken into my heart and will treasure my whole life.
Thank you to Vintage Books for sending me a review copy.

Love the review! I completely agree - Morgenstern writes such amazingly beautiful descriptions. I got so frustrated with the flipping back and forth in time, but the good kind of frustrated, where I just NEEDED TO KNOW what was going to happen and how everything fitted together and I needed to know RIGHT NOW. I kinda wasn't sold on Marco though - not enough to detract from my overall enjoyment - but... something wasn't quite clicking for me with his character. I did like Celia though, and I was cheering for them as a couple anyway.ReplyDelete
Glad you loved it!Replies
Thank you! OH I KNOW! I was like that with the back and forth in time bits, but I also loved it, because we knew there was a future that many years ahead, even if we didn't know how. Oh, it was just amazing! I loved it! I didn't have a problem with Marco, but I know what you mean. I did love them both! Such an awesome book!Delete
What age group is it aimed at?ReplyDeleteReplies
I think it's an adult book, but I would say it would work well as cross over fiction. There's nothing in it that would be too much for teens, in my opinion. There is no language, and nothing graphic or violent. So I think anyone can read it! :)Delete
I LOVE your review!! I've been so excited to read what you think and.... damn it. I wish I hadn't. You're making me want to drop what I'm reading and go back to the circus :PReplyDelete
Each chapter is like the tents of the circus; there's something extraordinary to discover, each word something delicious dipped in sugar. I love that sentence. It's perfect and SO beautifully true. The Night Circus was so not what I expected, it was MORE, and I'm so happy I finally got to see what all the hype was about. It's DESERVED hype.
Amazing review. You have really captured the beauty and wonder and magic of this incredible novel! <3Replies
I KNOW! Every review I've read, and I've been itching to read the book again!Delete
Aww, I LOVE getting my reviews quoted back at me! Thank you! :D So glad you liked that sentence! Oh, most definitely deserved hype! This book was just fantastic!
Thank you thank you! You're awesome! :D
Oh my word... Jo... "This book is completely enchanting. It's like Morgenstern crawled into my head, and from what she discovered, she wrote the book I had been looking for all along, without even knowing I was looking for it."ReplyDelete
This just... YES. This is EXACTLY what I've been hoping for with this book. It's PRECISELY how I feel about Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and every brilliant word Neil Gaiman has ever written. I have a copy at home, and after reading your review, I kind of want to abandon Every. Single. Part. of my life and go read it NOW! Your review = perfection!Replies
Aww, Thank you! Again with quouting my review back at me - I love you! :D Oh I LOVED DOSAB! That book is just amazing! But there's something about this novel that even just thinking about it makes me feel all light and enchanted! Haha, that's the best I can describe it, lol.Delete
YOU SHOULD ABANDON YOUR LIFE AND READ IT NOW! Or at least move it higher in your TBR pile :P I'm sure you'll love it! :D
New follower! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the lovely review of Night Circus. I NEED THIS. >.<Replies
Thanks for following! :)Delete
You're welcome and thank you! It is such an awesome book! I really hope you enjoy it if/when you read it!

Debt buyers, consumer advocates and courts are familiar with the issue of data integrity in debt buyer litigation. Debt buyers argue consumer liability even if the documentation to prove the ownership and amount of the debt is imperfect on account of consumers not showing up to defend themselves or generally admitting they owe the money anyway. Consumer advocates, conversely, complain about perjured affidavits, forged signatures and the wrong people being sued for the wrong amounts.
In the middle sit the judges of our courts system, who are tasked with processing the millions of debt buyer complaints filed each year, while preserving due process and the publics faith in the rule of law.
In court, debt buyers often argue that credit card statements are inherently reliable. Regardless of what one believes about the reliability of bank billing statements, this argument is problematic in the context of debt buyer litigation. Debt buyer cases have traditionally been based on accounts purchased "as is" for pennies on the dollar, with broad disclaimers of warranty of title, documentation, validity or accuracy. While members of the industry have stated that there are no "as is" contracts any more, they have refused calls to produce these forward flow agreements.
The broad disagreement between debt buyers and consumer advocates has led to both sides being unhappy with new legislation and changes to court rules in various states. Debt buyers dont like new requirements for more paperwork and more affidavits. Advocates dont like new statutes which they perceive as effectively creating an exception to the rules of evidence for debt buyers in some cases.
I propose a very simple solution which will put an end to more legislation, more rules, more lawsuits and more uncertainty for both sides: a requirement that the debt buyer make a copy of the operative forward flow agreement available to the court and to the defendant at the time of filing the lawsuit.
This requirement would benefit both sides of the dispute, because it would end the excessive wrangling over abstract arguments about the reliability of bank documents. Instead of abstract arguments, both sides would be able to scrutinize the representations and warranties given by the bank regarding the reliability, accuracy and level of documentation of the specific accounts in question. Further, both sides and the court would be able to scrutinize the warranties and buyback provisions about any ineligible accounts which may be sold as part of the portfolio.
My primary concern is not the price paid (although as an advocate I find that you get what you pay for). Rather, I am concerned about any and all red flags in the forward flow agreement, which would lead one to conclude the accounts being sold may have inadequate or unverified documentation, and, thus, are arguably quite the opposite of "inherently reliable."
My proposal requires no expensive or time-consuming studies, and it would not cost banks or debt buyers any money. Access can be via a website, such as the forward flow agreement referenced in an American Banker article, "Bank of America Sold Card Debts to Collectors Despite Faulty Records". It would also ensure well-founded, well-documented lawsuits move forward more quickly, because unfounded and undocumented ones would not be filed.
Both sides sometimes feel the other side is out of control. Advocates feel debt buyers file too many meritless collection lawsuits, while debt buyers feel advocates file too many meritless Fair Debt Collection Practices Act lawsuits.Shining the light on the terms and conditions of the forward flow agreements should help relieve our congested court dockets by preventing the filing of lawsuits against the wrong people in the wrong amount.

Back in 1996, when I started studying translation, I remember asking a friend whether she thought purchasing a computer is an absolute must.
Well, I've come a long way. By now I have my own computer and even legal software, which was not obvious at the beginning, either. Along the way I've acquired some new tools and habits, which today, are as obvious for me as having a computer:
Internet. Goes without saying, I know. But not all translators are skilled searchers, so I think it's worth mentioning. I once heard an interview with someone who was an interpreter for various US presidents (I forget his name, and would be grateful if you leave me a comment if you know who I'm referring to.) He said two of the most important things any translator should have are curiosity and resourcefulness. And internet is heaven if you have both.
Babylon. My language pairs are Hebrew and English. I don't know about Babylon for other language pairs, but in my language pair it is the one and only computerized dictionary which is this extensive, includes a thesaurus, expressions and user glossaries, and allows you to add languages. The definitions are presented with a click on any word on my screen, so there's no application/browser window to open, and it's fast and simple. I use the English<>Hebrew dictionary, and the English<>Italian one too, so with every word search I can improve my Italian a little, Too.
Translation Business Management Tool (Avodat Milim). This is a business management/ accounting tool (Hebrew) I developed together with Yariv Habot, a software engineer, especially for translators. Having been in the business a few years, it was time to realize that the fact I can translate doesn't mean I can run a business. As the invoices, checks, receipts, and deadlines were piling on my desk, Yariv built a system which is now certified by Israeli tax authorities for accounting. So I finally know exactly how much I make each month, when my next translation is due, who doesn't pay me on time, and when I have to pay my taxes. In 2007 I think an automated accounting system is a must (In Israel most small businesses still use manually written invoices.).
Google Desktop. I don't know how I ever worked without this tool. Google desktop indexes my computer (including PDF files, and other important file types) all day long. So not only do I have automatic back-up, but my computer is now a super-dictionary containing all the words I've ever translated. You know what it feels like when you remember you stumbled upon something similar last week, but just can't remember the exact word? that's what Google Desktop is for. No need to start searching for specific files, or remembering too much information. It's all there. Google Deskbar is integrated into the desktop, and it's also a fantastic time-saving tool. It inserts a google search box into my taskbar, so I don't have to open any new applications when I need to search something (and translators are ALWAYS searching for something).
Trados. Trados is my CAT tool of choice. I've been using it for a few years, and recently have also begun enjoying it. It allows me to deliver more accurate and consistent translations, faster, and I love it. My main problem with it is the formatting. Translating into Hebrew, it will change fonts and sizes, bold and unbold words as it wishes, thus creating some formatting work at the end. I wonder whether this happens in other languages as well. Do you need to do a lot of formatting work once you've finished translating? If so, what are your language pairs?
In addition to these five there are of course word-counting tools, PDF converters, and more, but these five tools are the ones I really must have to start working. What are yours?

The revolt against Moammar Kadafi was born in the eastern city of Benghazi, long a caldron of discontent with the autocratic ruler.
The uprising gained traction during bloody spring battles in coastal Misurata, Libya's third-largest city, where residents barricaded streets with shipping containers in ferocious urban warfare.
But it is a rebel thrust from the west that may prove decisive in bringing an end to Kadafi's more than four-decade reign.
The push by guerrilla fighters from Libya's isolated Berber highlands, the rugged Nafusa Mountains near the Tunisian border, was one front too many for Kadafi's depleted and sometimes demoralized forces.

'Friday Night Lights' Fans So Angry at Ben Silverman They're Sending Him Envelopes Full of Broken Glass
Oh, wait.
Fans of NBC's Friday Night Lights, angry at NBC wunderkind Ben Silverman for constantly pushing 30 Rock over their favorite drama, are taking matters into their own hands as the show's final pre-strike episode is airing tonight. Spurred on by the FNL-loving editors of Best Week Ever, fans are sending Silverman envelopes full of broken glass, hoping against hope that the exec will take one look at his coterie of assistants as they lie weeping on the floor, their bleeding hands staining his plush carpet, and, cowed by the ferocity of scorned fans of quality television, will renew their favorite show.
Oh, what's that? Apparently they're just sending NBC lightbulbs. With "LIGHTS ON" written on the side. You know, like how fans of Jericho sent CBS packages full of nuts. Our bad. Well, surely those lightbulbs won't shatter, right? Although even if they do, we're okay with that.

2018 course starts 14th September
Early bird offer ends Friday 3 August
An arts and culture distance learning qualification, the ESA Arts Sponsorship Certificate, is available annually to all professionals who want to enhance their sponsorship knowledge and develop the skills necessary to build thriving commercial relationships within the corporate sector.
Now in its fourth year, this exciting opportunity has been made available via collaboration between ESA and social enterprise Cause4 via the Arts Council England-funded Arts Fundraising and Philanthropy Programme.
Part-time learning
The 2018 ESA Arts Sponsorship Certificate brings the renowned distance-learning platform that we have developed and delivered so successfully for the ESA Diploma, specifically for the advantage of those in the arts and culture sectors.
Who will benefit
Our aim is to create a rewarding qualification that will quickly become a basic requirement for those wishing to work in the commercial side of arts management in the UK and internationally.
The course is targeted towards those who either currently work in marketing positions in the sector, or those who wish to practice in this area, and covers topics such as how sponsorship works, fundraising from the private sector and how to develop effective commercial relationships, as well as offering many other insights.
Changing landscape

The 2018 course – what it entails
The ESA Arts Sponsorship Certificate is facilitated via a web-based distance learning platform containing a range of learning materials and assessment-based tasks. The learning process is supported by three (monthly) evening seminars where senior industry figures reinforce and discuss subjects covered in the course syllabus. This also gives the students a chance to get together and network, which we know from our Diploma experience is a really important part of the learning process, as it helps forge relationships that can prove genuinely beneficial to organisations at all levels. The seminars are filmed and made available via the website for those unable to attend. All module coursework is due in by the end of December, with the main course project to be completed by the end of January 2019.

The cemetery was restored by the Historical Society of Colonie in 2009. The plot is in the outskirts of Colonie on Rte 9 in Crescent Heights. See http://blog.fonda.org/archives/1030 and http://www.colonie.org/library/digitalLibrary/materials/fonda.html. Each of the graves has a headstone and a footstone. Many of the stones were broken and scattered and have been reassembled as best was possible.
Historical Note: This plot was originally located on the Cornelius Fonda farm, on the south shore of the Mohawk river, one and a half miles south of Crescent on the old stage road from Cohoes to Crescent. This farm was also the site of the ferry used by Earl Loudon in 1755 as a military crossing, to replace the dangerous ford at Waterford, where the sprouts of the Mohawk River made it unsafe. The ferry was later known as the Halfmoon ferry or ford and was in use by the Continental army during the campaign of 1777, when Generals Arnold, Poor and others, with Colonel Daniel Morgan's riflemen were here stationed to protect it from Tories and British irregulars. This ferry was used by General Knox and is a part of what is called the "Knox Trail;" Loudonville, a hamlet on the Loudon road between Albany and Latham, perpetuates the name of Earl Loudon. Some of the timbers of the old Halfmoon fort were used in the construction of the homestead of Cornelius Fonda. The State bought this farm when constructing the Barge Canal; the buildings were destroyed and the burial plot removed to its present site on the Albany - Crescent - Saratoga highway at a place called Crescent Heights, about a mile south of Crescent, Saratoga County. It is fenced with an iron pipe fence with cement pillars and is in good condition.

Halloween is just around the corner, and it's got us talking about our favourite scary stories, films and books in the office. The horror genre is full of opportunities to use your creative talents and we want to pay tribute to the men and women who write these stories, films and novels, and are the cause of people across the world sleeping with their lights on!
There's nothing like a good horror novel to keep you awake at night and one of the most famous and successful horror writers is Stephen King. His writings have have spanned over 5 decades and been turned into Hollywood blockbusters. From the terrifying tale of The Shining to the blood-curdling book Misery, I'm sure Mr King has given us all a sleepless night or two over the years!
Many people will be settling in with some popcorn and a good horror film on Halloween and it would surely be remiss if we didn't talk about horror films. One of the best known film writers in the world of horror is Wes Craven, from A Nightmare on Elmstreet to the Scream films, chances are there will be at least one of his creations playing this Saturday on the TV and many people afraid to turn out the lights.
When you think of horror, you don't often think of Poetry until, that is, you remember Edgar Allan Poe. As well as a series of Macabre tales, Poe is most recognised for his eerie poem The Raven. Published in 1845, The Raven does not take long to read, but leaves you with the chills long after you've finished—particularly if you hear a tapping, like someone gently rapping, rapping at your chamber door!
Short stories are easily accessible these days with websites publishing them, blogs dedicated to them and social media sites such as reddit making it easy to share them. HP Lovecraft was a prolific short story writer in the 1920's and 1930's and published in several pulp magazines. Although relatively unknown during his life, almost 90 years later his own surreal brand of horror even has it's own sub-genre named after him: 'Lovecraftian' Horror.
If you feel inspired by these creative writers to get writing this Halloween, take a look at our Creative Writing course. Sections to help improve your skills in many different types of writing could be the start of something new for you. You can download a sample of the course here free of charge to see if it's right for you.

#1 Clinton State Department silenced them on Benghazi security lapses09-13-2017, 05:30 PMFive years after the deadly Benghazi attacks, two contractors tell Fox News' Catherine Herridge that a senior official in the Clinton State Department wanted they to keep quiet because they knew too much.
Security at the State Department's Benghazi compound was so dire that another contractor was brought in to clean up the mess just two weeks before the 2012 terror attack and was later pressured to keep quiet by a government bureaucrat under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to two men from the American security company.
Brad Owens and Jerry Torres, of Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions, say they faced pressure to stay silent and get on the same page with the State Department with regard to the security lapses that led to the deaths of four Americans.
They spoke exclusively with Fox News for Tucker Carlson Tonight, revealing new information that undermines the State Department's account of the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, where Islamic militants launched a 13-hour assault from Sept. 11-12 that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, foreign service officer Sean Smith and former Navy SEALS Ty Woods and Glenn Doherty.
The contractors get no respect from me.
Awww, he is 'haunted' by it and was afraid for his 8,000 employees... Bullshit.
A pretty gutless performance, not doing the right thing and coming-forward virtually immediately. They let that Clinton-piece-of-trash jam us with her arrogant pomposity.
Why these yellowbacks are coming out now is a mystery.
09-13-2017, 06:29 PMWoe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

George Douras has been really active in the creation of fonts for ancient scripts. There are many available from his website.

So who is the bigger nutjob?$2.2 million fatwa on Terry Jones after Quran burning
Terry Jones, the Florida evangelical pastor who threatened to hold a Quran burning last Sept. 11 only to back down in the face of international outrage, finally went ahead and burned one.
And now there's a 2.2-million-dollar price on his head.
Jones appointed himself "judge" and presided over a trial hearing evidence and testimony against Islam's holy book. A "jury" found the book guilty of crimes against humanity; promoting terrorist acts; raping, torturing and killing people "whose only crime was not being of the Islamic faith." Also, its treatment of women was found lacking.
Interestingly, lethal injection and electrocution, the two forms of capital punishment in Florida, were not offered to the convicted holy book. Instead, an online Facebook poll picked the sentence from these choices - burning, shredding, drowning or firing squad. Burning won.
Sentence was carried out by soaking the convicted in kerosene, placing it a metal tray and igniting it with a barbecue lighter. Thirty people witnessed the execution.
Jones' kangaroo court stunt was obviously aimed at provoking a response, but the Council on American-Islamic Relations didn't take the bait.
"Terry Jones had his 15 minutes of fame and we're not going to help him get another few minutes," said Spokesman Ibrahim Hooper.
Unfortunately, Pakistan did.
Pakistani Islamists respond to the Florida Quran burning with their own U.S. flag and pastor effigy barbecue.
President Asif Ali Zardari condemned the desecration of the Quran during his address to a joint sitting of parliament. The country's Foreign Office in Islamabad called it a "despicable act."
Pakistanis are already angry at the United States over the release last week of an American CIA employee who was arrested after he shot and killed two men who he says were trying to rob him.
Pakistan's Jamaat-ud-Dawah, a banned Islamic organization and suspected terrorist group, announced a reward of 10 crore rupees (about $2.2 million) for anyone who kills the preacher.
Jones is probably pleased that at least the terrorists are taking him seriously.
The guy who puts the Muslim book on trial and burns it (ironically, for the same acts approved of in his own book)?
Or the Muslims who get all up in arms and offer a bounty on the head of some random lunatic on the other side of the world who burns a book?

Thursday, August 09, 2018, 90'F and humid
Yeah, a good ride, which connects via tunnels under the highway to Jones Beach and a more direct connection to the 5-mile bike path that goes north to the mainland. Get sweaty then enjoy the salty ocean beach waters. A go
Thursday, August 09, 2018, 90'F and very humid.
After slogging through the ridiculous Long Island traffic, I rode here and the the other 2 connected trails, which are all nice. You reach the other 2 paths via tunnels under the highway from the Jones Beach parking lots. I have a hard time believing the boardwalk is 4 miles long though. Get nice and sweaty then go in the lovely, salty ocean waters.
The storms in NJ on August 16th caused severed damage to the trail. The pathway has precarious ditches now and much of the path is no longer ride-able via bike. I truly hope they fix it soon as it really is a great trail.
This was our first time here, and thankfully it was not too crowded. The foliage cover and the path are incredible, though, so you can enjoy a lot of streams and greenery while walking/jogging/bicycling. For cycling, it's pretty mild, so if you're looking for a challenge, this might not be for you. Wonderful family bike morning!
Speeding and unruly bikers come often. Many forgo the bikers' decorum of announcing their approach from behind. " On your left " or "On your right " should be the case, but that is actually the exception. Just be careful if you are walking. It is the only fly in this ointment. The section from Dunkerhook Road in Paramus to the northern end in Ridgewood pleases the sense much.
Great ride but especially by IBM and where there is an active rusty river flowing there needs to be work done.
Extremely steep in some sections (not bike-able), maybe 10% is paved, mostly construction type gravel. Was stuck in the very lowest 3 gears for most of the ride. Did not come across any other bike rider. Not a pleasant ride by any stretch of the imagination. Quite a few hikers though.
We were driving home to PA from CT and stopped to stretch our legs on this trail, so we didn't ride the full length. We started at Goshen and there was plenty of parking in the municipal lot that sits right at the trail head; this was a Monday afternoon, but there was still plenty of parking (thank you to the town for providing free parking!).
The trail is nicely paved and very well maintained. The first two miles were a bit noisy because the trail runs parallel to a busy highway, but after that it was quiet and relaxing. We went a bit beyond Chester and turned around. (Unlike some other reviewers, we didn't find Chester particularly charming.) The trail was flat, easy, well shaded, and relaxing, and we were grateful to the people who keep it in such good condition. Our only (VERY minor) complaint was that close to Goshen the trail sometimes had the feel of riding moguls, probably because tree roots are growing beneath the asphalt. Overall, we would recommend the trail.
After riding, we left our car in the municipal lot and walked two blocks to the Sunshine Cafe. Although the signage made us think it was just a juice bar, it had a nice menu--great paninis and a long list of specialty burgers. We recommend the restaurant highly.
Absolutely love this trail. First off, get there early. Sandy Hook is a popular place and after 9 on the weekends there will be a wait at the entrance to get in.
You can park anywhere and jump on the trail. It's paved and a smooth ride. The view is great and changes from water to trees and back. There aren't really any hills to worry about so it's mostly easy pedaling.
I usually rig a chair to the bike and stop off on the bay side to relax for bit.
I completed this trail this weekend. I started at the entrance of Beardsley Park and ended at Swamp Road in Botsford. The trail is beautiful and very quite. I highly recommend this trail. I would suggest stopping at Pepper Street as a portion of the trail between Pepper Street and Swamp Road is not really a trail. The "trail" is very narrow and overgrown ( I rode through this area with my arms pressed to my sides and still could not avoid the trees/leaves brushing against me). Also, the area has a very high concentration of mosquitos. All in all the trail is AWESOME and I will be riding it (up to Pepper Street) once a week.
After reading some of the reviews I was prepared for a disastrous trail. Yes, its a little bumpy in spots but I felt it was mostly smooth. A couple of places are semi-rough but it wasnt that big of a deal.
Also, getting to it is a little tricky if youre just searching on google for directions. I found the best launch point to be at the northern most end of the South County Trail (just south-east of the Tarrytown Resovior). Drive your car to and get off at exit 23 of the Saw Mill Pkwy. There is a park and ride right there. Park your car and head south on your bike for the South County Trail and North for the North County trail.
I always attempt to start at one end of a trail and ride it to the end. According to the description the trail starts in Harriman which may have been the case at one point but as of July 2018 is not so. As others have said the trail ends abruptly at 12 miles and does not go to Harriman. I'd recommend you start at Crane Park in Monroe, it is easy to find and offers plenty of parking.
As far as the trail itself the scenery was average. The trail itself is all paved and mostly flat so it made for easy riding. The towns off of the trail are very quaint, I'd highly recommend walking around Goshen and visiting Chester for its local brewery. If you'd like to extend your ride try to find the unpaved extension in Goshen. It is single track and about two miles long so I'd take a mountain or hybrid bike.

Interesting article in the New York Times on exercise and why we are "physiologically lazy...Using treadmill testing, scientists have definitively established that, like other animals, humans naturally aim to use as little energy as possible during most movement."
No surprise there really, but do read on... "when we walk or run, our bodies tend to choose a particular cadence, a combination of step length and step frequency, that allows us to move at any given speed with as little physiological effort as possible." Bring it on I say, anything to make going up and down those alpine hills easier and I am with it!
A study carried out by Simon Fraser University in British Columbia asked volunteers to walk on a treadmill at an easy pace where they measured steps per minute. They then increased the speed and analaysed how quickly people responded. In two seconds our bodies naturally adapt to this change with the amount of oxygen in our blood rising or falling because our muscles require more or less.
Runners are no different with the same process occuring when they studied people moving at speed.
One of the conclusions according to the New York Times was "our brains very likely contain huge libraries of preset paces... step cadences for any given speed and condition. It seems probable, in fact, that over our lifetimes... our brains develop and store countless templates for most pacing situations. We learn and remember what cadence allows us to use the least energy at that speed, and when we reach that speed, we immediately default to our body's most efficient pace."
Now, this is the bit I like ! Findings suggest that MUSIC is one of the best ways to affect the pace of your running or walking. If you want to go faster load your iPod with uptempo music, simply as that. However, do be sensible and build up any changes gradually. A new app has recently been launched called Cruise Control which means you can coordinate your pacing with your playlists.There's also the Nike + app, which is available for iPods, iPhones and Android devices.
The overall impression from these studies, however, is that your body will adapt to the pace which is the most efficient for what you are doing! Love it, go body, go....
What an amazing experience! Recently spent a day at the Foire de Saint Ours, in Aosta, Italy. For over one thousand years artisans have gathered at the end of January in the beautiful Roman city of Aosta to celebrate their craft in wood and stone. I was dragged along by a friend who said he wanted to check out the Fair - I interpreted this as a few stalls and a quick Italian coffee then home again. In fact I was bemused that my friend, an avid ski mountaineer, should want to visit town on a blue sky powder day !
It soon became apparent why people travel from all over this lovely part of Italy to spend several days at the Foire. This is the 1013th Foire, or Fair, to take place in Aosta, and exactly one thousand craftspeople had set up stalls in the heart of the town. Such was the throng that a one way system existed for the pedestrians. A really fabulous atmosphere with people singing, dancing, drinking vin chaud, and stirring pots of polenta on wood burning stoves set up just for the Fair.
I had thought it would be full of carved wooden Bears of varying descriptions given that Ours means Bear in French, however, it turns out that Saint Ours, originiated from the town of Saint Ours, and was not, as I had thought, patron of fuzzy wuzzy mammals.
If you are ever in Italy at the end of January this is one event not to be missed. Needless to say I came home clutching various wooden items with my 'polenta stirrer' taking pride of place. Lindsay

You may have heard the story earlier this year about the man who threatened Bill Gate's life via the U.S. mail, a floppy disk, and an AOL bulletin board. Due to a recent filing using the Freedom of Information Act, the details of this case have emerged. If you can forgive the "America's Most Wanted" tone, here's the story so far:
On Friday, March 14, 1997, Microsoft security agent Roger Bruett came across a detailed extortion letter that was mailed to Bill Gates, the CEO of Microsoft. Postmarked Palatine, Illinois, the letter demanded payment from Gates and threatened his and/or his wife's life if payment was not made. According to the note, the author had murdered people during his days in the military and would not hesitate to carry out his threat to Gates. The note also provided detailed instructions on communicating with its author via an America Online (AOL) bulletin board. It also cautioned Gates to not involve the authorities and provided a date (March 15) that he should be contacted by on AOL. Bruett immediately contacted the FBI.
The FBI posted a response to the author of the note on AOL as instructed, to the "Netgirl" bulletin board. The following day, AOL notified the FBI that over 800 users had accessed the Netgirl bulletin board between the arrival of the note and that day. The FBI reviewed AOL's accounts and determined that 79 of those users were males living in Chicago or northern Illinois.
On March 20, a second letter arrived for Mr. Gates. It was similar to the first note and the FBI determined that the letter writer was the same. The author of the note congratulated Gates "on acceptance of my offer" and repeated the death threats and comments about law enforcement involvement. Only part of the postmark on this letter was visible, the numbers "532." Checking with the United States Postal Service, the FBI found out that "532" is part of a ZIP code indicating the letter was processed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee is approximately 75 miles from Palatine, Illinois, the origin of the first letter.
On April 7, a third letter arrived, postmarked from Liberyville, Illinois. A cross-check with the AOL suspect list revealed that one user, Adam Quinn Pletcher, had a father who worked in Libertyville, Illinois. Adam lives in Palatine. The FBI inspected the letter and verified that it was sent from the same person as the previous two. In the letter, Gates was instructed to post the same message to the Netgirl bulletin board no latter than April 5, two days prior. Though postmarked March 31, the note had arrived late. At the request of the FBI, AOL posted the message that day.
Finally, on April 17, a fourth letter arrived at Microsoft. This one told Gates that he must pay a specific amount of money by April 26 in order to "avoid dying, among other things." The letter included a floppy disk which he told Gates to use for further correspondence. The FBI performed data recovery procedures on the floppy and found the names "Dana & Cheryl Pletcher" among the previously erased data, as well as copies of the earlier extortion notes. The FBI quickly determined that Dana and Cheryl Pletcher were the parents of Adam Quinn Pletcher. At this point, Adam became the only suspect in the case.
The Illinois Assistant DA reported that the State of Illinois had filed a civil lawsuit against Adam for committing fraud from an Internet Web site to the tune of $10,000. The State was requesting that Adam make restitution and sign a Consent Decree preventing him from further abusing the Internet. A year earlier, the Florida highway patrol discovered that Pletcher was selling counterfeit drivers licenses from his parent's home in Illinois. In March 1997, the home was searched but his computers (a Mac desktop and laptop) were not confiscated. The case was presented to the State's Attorney general for prosecution and was still pending. Officers who searched the home that day described Fletcher as a "loner" living at his parent's home, working on a computer all day.
On May 9, 1997, Adam was interviewed at his residence by the FBI and he admitted writing and mailing the letters to Bill Gates. He now faces up to twenty years in jail.
This story is based on the actual court affidavit, United States of America vs. Adam Quin Fletcher, May 9, 1997.

JTI - Jungian Type Index
Tool Measurements
JTI identifies the mental preferences of the individual human being, thus giving insight to:
»»Where do we prefer to direct our attention
»»How to we prefer to receive impressions
»»How do we prefer to make decisions
»»Which life style do we prefer
The JTI consists of 56 statements, and the test person is asked to select the statement which characterizes him most accurately. The result is a four-letter code which appears according to the respondent's choosing between the two poles on the four belowmentioned dimensions, which the tool examines.
»» Extrovert - Introvert
»» Sensing - Intuition
»» Thinking - Feeling
»» Judgement - Perception
How to use the tool
JTI is a development tool which is easy to use and valuable to individuals, groups, and organisations. JTI may be used in leadership development as well as mapping and developing group processes.
Additionally, the tool may be used for personal consulting in connection to career development, conflict management and organisation culture development.
What is in it for me?
JTI is an important step in regards to appreciation and improved usability of the human resources in an organisation. This is caused by JTI being a tool which gives the individual an insight to him/
herself, and also provides people with an understanding of other people's action patterns.
By identifying one's preferred way to communicate, understand and handle assignments and issues, the individual may, among other things, learn more about his/her strengths and weaknesses
regarding both assignments and the collaboration with others.
JTI may also give an image of a group as a whole – its specific competencies and differences – and contribute to better use of resources, better understanding and improved conflict management
in a group development process. Furthermore, JTI may provide you with a description of how the organisation (or different parts of the organisation) is combined, and thus provide you with an image of
dominant cultures and ways of which the organisation or parts of it, perceives itself.
The Jungian Type Index (JTI) is developed by the two Norwegian psychologists Hallvard Ringstad and Thor Ødegaard and is based upon Jung's type theory about human similarities and differences.
Would your company like to become a distributor of the Jungian Type Index - JTI in your territory?
CfL is looking for professional services companies, that would be interested in taking on the distributorship and certification training in Europe and overseas, in countries we are not represented in at present. We are mainly looking for partners that have experience in the field of psychometrics and/or running train the trainer workshop.

(AP) -- Mike Matheny pulled into the parking lot at 5:30 a.m. Monday, eager to start his second season as the St. Louis Cardinals manager.
"My family is not with me so basically all I have to do is sleep," Matheny said. "I'd rather be here getting something done than lying around somewhere."
Not long after he arrived, several of his pitchers and catchers started showing up. With the first official workout on Tuesday, Matheny was impressed when he saw the amount of players working out.
"Jason Motte came running in in a panic asking if he was running late," Matheny said. "That's a nice feeling. You want to see the young players eager. You want to make an impression, you want to be seen, you want to show what you can do. Sometimes coming early is the best way to do that."
It wasn't just the young players. Catcher Yadier Molina and pitchers like Adam Wainwright and Jake Westbrook were on the field and in the weight room. Molina and Wainwright have been here for several days.
"When Yadi is the first one in the cage and he says he has to earn a starting position. . If he says that then every one of these guys have to say the same thing," Matheny said.
The Cardinals made another deep run in the playoffs last year, losing Game 7 of the NLCS to San Francisco after building a 3-1 series lead.
"When you're one win away from making the World Series it sticks with you all off season," pitcher Lance Lynn said.
The team learned last week that veteran starter Chris Carpenter likely will not pitch this season after experiencing pain in his right arm, a flare up of the nerve issue that limited him to six games in 2012. Losing Carpenter leaves a gaping hole in the rotation with Wainwright, Jaime Garcia and Westbrook at the top, Lynn a favorite to fill the fourth spot and three others—Shelby Miller, Joe Kelly and Trevor Rosenthal—vying for the fifth starter.
"With the group we have, even minus Carp, we're still good," Westbrook said. "And the kids we have, the ceiling is high. It will be fun to watch."
Until Carpenter went down, the biggest news was first baseman Lance Berkman signing with the Rangers, utility man Skip Schumaker being traded to the Dodgers and the continued free agency of pitcher Kyle Lohse, a 16-game winner last season who has yet to sign.
Also at camp Monday was Matt Carpenter, who is hoping to push Daniel Descalso at second base. Matt Carpenter played five different positions last season and just five games at second base.
"We have young guys who have the opportunity now and I'm excited to watch them compete," Matheny said. "You throw athletes into a situation like this and you put the pressure on, that's usually when they rise to the top."

Gaston Leroux Quotes About SoulQuotes about: Soul
Look!You want to see? See! Feast your eyes, glut your soul on my cursed ugliness! Look at Erik's face! Now you know the face of the voice! You were not content to hear me, eh? You wanted to know what I looked like? Oh, you women are so inquisitive! Well, are you satisfied? I'm a good-looking fellow, eh?...When a woman has seen me, as you have, she belongs to me.She loves me forever! I am a kind of Don Juan, you know!...Look at me! I am Don Juan Triumphant! -Erik in The Phantom of the Opera
Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing. Her hair was as golden as the sun's rays, and her soul as clear and blue as her eyes. She wheedled her mother, was kind to her doll, took great care of her frock and her red shoes and her fiddle, but loved most of all, when she went to sleep, to hear the Angel of Music.

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) has put ITU in the
spotlight of the world community. For the first time, ITU's leading role in
information and communication technologies (ICT) was recognized at the political
and grassroots levels; it is now generally seen as much more than a purely
technical organization. This recognition has not only created enormous potential
for ITU, but also great expectations of what it can and should do to connect the world by 2015 as prescribed in the WSIS Plan of Action.
Given that most of the activities to bridge the digital divide fall within
the mandate of the ITU Telecommunication Development Sector, how would you
reconcile the world's expectations and the current role of Secretary-General,
which is constrained by the Constitution and the Convention to general
management with no specific authority over Sector policies or programmes?
What would you do in the first 100 days of your mandate to leverage the
visibility and leadership gained by ITU through the WSIS process? And how would
you maintain the momentum? Please provide specific examples.
It is true that the summit increased ITU's visibility. We, however, should do
more to blow the myth that only those who are experts in technical matters can
participate or contribute to the work of the Union. ITU is home to all
stakeholders because information and communication technologies permeate all the
facets of human life and impact everybody, regardless of their status, gender,
specialty, or geographical location. The potential is there and we must build on
the agenda set by the summit and ensure that ITU's actions act as building
blocks towards the attainment of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals
set by world leaders in 2000.
The role of the Secretary-General is well defined in the Constitution. The
Constitution does not constrain the Secretary-General in any way. Frankly, I
believe that the Constitution currently gives the Secretary-General enough power
to fulfil his mandate and to deliver digital dividends to the membership. What
is required is good, forward looking and visionary leadership that is built on a
strong foundation of a participatory leadership style that recognizes that the
Directors of the Sectors are part of a team entrusted with the Union's
resources. The Secretary-General is not responsible for the General Secretariat
alone. He/she is the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Union and must have
confidence in his/her colleagues leading the Sectors, without him having to
interfere with the day-to-day operations of the Sectors. This is not sui
generis to ITU, it also exists in the corporate world as well as the
public service.
The first 100 days are often described as "strategic thinking — no action
days" as a new CEO gets to understand his new environment. I have
participated in the work of the Union for many years, both as a delegate and as
Director of the Development Sector. I know the house and actively participated
in the discussions that led to the holding of the summit, in summit proceedings
and in post-summit implementation and follow-up discussions. The work on the
summit does not stop because there is a new Secretary-General. Stakeholders
already know their role in the implementation of the various "Action Lines". ITU
has a well-defined role, and that role must continue. That is why as
Secretary-General I will address, from day one, three priorities that will, of
course, impact positively on ITU's credibility:
As Secretary-General, how would you lead the organization on behalf of the
members without the required authority over what the Sectors do, taking into
account the fact that irrespective of personalities, this divorced principle of
accountability and responsibility has led to difficult working conditions with
other elected officials and ultimately their staff?
Every elected official is accountable to the membership. Even if the
Secretary-General is ultimately responsible for the entire organization, he/she
is not expected to do everything. The staff of the Union are experts in the
various areas that affect the Union, including legal issues. Whether the staff
are in the General Secretariat or in the Sectors, they are expected to advise
those they report to, and colleagues, on the dos and don'ts, according to their
areas of expertise. Imagine the size of the United Nations and the UN
Secretary-General trying to run each of the agencies of the UN because when
things go wrong, the ultimate responsibility lies in his hands. Coming back to
this issue, let me say that this brings us back to the fundamental question of
the federal structure. Yes, this structure has its weaknesses, but it also has
strengths. Show me which structure is totally devoid of weakness. What is
required is appropriate strategy to make structures work. The current federal
structure is attractive to our members, as it provides checks and balances.
Again, as I have stated before, there is need for more team spirit. For that
reason, as Secretary-General, I will focus on building esprit de corps,
confidence and trust with my colleagues. The Secretary-General should ensure
that the interests of the Union are protected at all times and this role is in
no way contradictory to the interests of the three Sectors.
Since its creation, ITU has encountered different kinds of challenges. In the
present situation, we must carry out thorough analysis in order to clearly
identify the sources of the problems and tackle them in a collaborative manner.
The structure of the organization is often the simplest target when things go
wrong. With or without the federal structure, challenges will always be there,
as one could find in a host of other organizations. I believe that there is
already enough authority bestowed upon the Secretary-General that empowers
him/her to carry out duties as provided for in the Constitution. The
interdependency and complementarities between the Sectors and the General
Secretariat are the cornerstones to the success of ITU. I believe that the
Directors of the three Sectors will work closely with the Secretary-General as a
team, while still recognizing his leadership.
With little room for any further cost efficiencies, how do you plan to
deal with the problem of shortage of resources?
In concrete terms, how would you
tackle the CHF 50 million shortfall in the next financial plan for 2008–2011?
Resources are finite. Sound management is the key to survival in this
ever-changing environment.
Improvement, creativity and innovation are the essential tools in these
dynamics. The membership has proposed a number of improvements in managing the
resources of the Union. We must not only work hard, but work smart. We must
focus on our core business and, for instance, outsource those areas that do not
fall in this definition. We cannot ask for more resources from the Member States
without demonstrating our willingness to reinvent ourselves, or our commitment
to transparency.
Take for instance the current shortfall of CHF 50 million in the next
financial plan for 2008–2011. This is a "call for action" situation. From
day one, efforts will be directed at restoring a sound financial state of the
Union. Effective coordination will lead to efficiencies and elimination of
duplications that will cut costs. As Secretary-General, I will provide the
leadership required to balance the books, but this will not be my show alone.
The trust that I will build at every level in the house, the sense of belonging
that will emerge within the staff and a participatory leadership will do away
with inefficiencies, low staff morale, and the general malaise within ITU. I
have always been a proponent for co-financing arrangements with ITU's
development partners. This is another source of financing for ICT projects. Both
Member States and private-sector members are facing these challenges on a daily
What immediate measures would you take in order to improve the situation?
What steps do you plan to take in the next four years to reverse this
trend of having to do more with less?
ITU has a qualified staff that has a lot of potential. This staff must be
trusted, and it must also trust its management. More transparency in staff
management is a prerequisite for building trust. This calls for equal treatment,
zero tolerance for abuses, and fair rules for employment and promotion. In
periods of financial difficulties, staff can be reasonable in their demands only
if they are treated in a responsible manner.
The next four years will witness a turn-around of ITU characterized by new
ways of doing things, vigorous partnership building, leading to co-financing of
large projects by ITU and its constellation of development partners, increased
accountability, and high staff morale. ITU will certainly restore its
pre-eminent role of providing information and communication technology
solutions, an efficient use of the spectrum and leadership in setting standards.
The trend of doing more with less is a reality in human life. Every household
has to live with the stark reality that the scarce resources flowing in have to
be well managed to meet many demands. Likewise, if ITU is not to be wasteful, it
will always have to do more with fewer resources than needed. What is required
is to embrace a smart-solution strategy that is well thought out and not
wasteful, but must be effective.
We must take the lead in many areas, such as security in cyberspace,
efficient use of resources, appropriate strategies and policies, and financing
infrastructure development to bridge the digital divide.
For ITU, I am confident that better days are yet to come.

We engaged Lee Donald and his team at Westend Painters to paint the full exterior of our Grey Lynn villa in early 2014. During the quoting process we found Lee to be very professional and the pricing to be competitive. Lee's attention to detail and fantastic customer service were the major reasons we trusted his team to bring our villa back to life. The project took 8 to 9 weeks to complete which included stripping existing paint back to the original timber. We are very pleased with the finished result and we get many comments from visitors to our home about how great the exterior finish looks. Lee also coordinated scaffolding and builders remediation work which took the pressure off us as clients. We fully endorse Westend Painters work and highly recommend Lee and his team to meet your painting requirements.
Paresh and Naina Patel
Westend Painters is dedicated to the details. We believe every customer deserves professionally executed service performed with a high level of excellence at a competitive price.

Quick Reference
(R/B ratio)
The relationship between total community biomass (i.e. standing crop) and respiration. With larger biomass, respiration will increase but the increase will be less if the individual biomass units or organisms are large (reflecting the inverse relationship between size and metabolic rate). Natural communities tend towards larger organisms and complex structure with low respiration rates per unit biomass.

POMONA, Calif. --Pomona police need the public's help to find a woman who went missing from the Landmark Medical Center on North Garey Avenue.
Serafin Lewis, 35, walked away during a false fire alarm at about 7:40 p.m. on Saturday and never returned. Lewis suffers from schizophrenia and paranoia, so she requires medication.
Lewis is about 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 250 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, light-blue sweat pants and prescription glasses.
If you see Lewis, you're asked to call police at (909) 622-1241 or (909) 620-2155.
