Renowned broadsheets such as London's Times and Independent and Kuala Lumpur's New Straits Times boosted circulation figures by switching to the tabloid format. Six months after The Guardian switched from a broadsheet to a tabloid-like "Berliner" format, it was named newspaper of the year at the British Press Awards. The tabloid revamps spawned a fast-expanding line of international imitators.
Yet, one year later, not a single major U.S. metro broadsheet has made the leap-and ad buyers say that's OK with them.
The problems with the format, advertisers say, are twofold: First, many U.S. consumers still view tabloids as inherently lowbrow. And, second, the smaller size isn't as conducive to the blowout display ads that major print advertisers, such as department stores, still stuff Sunday newspapers with.
"I'd have to say there's some truth to" Sunday advertisers' dislike of the format, says John Cruickshank, chief operating officer of Hollinger International's 100 Chicago-area papers, including the tabloid Chicago Sun-Times and the broadsheet Daily Southtown. "Some advertisers do like the extra space."
And U.S. publishers like that extra space as well because they can charge more for it.

T Ramasami committee, charged with the task of JEE reform, has also made a plea that there should be a single exam in the country for admission to all engineering colleges. Here is the link to Indian Express news item.
Whenever I read such news item, I wonder, why they are wasting their time. If this is a dominant viewpoint for more than a decade, and there has been absolutely zero progress despite several committees, there must be a significant problem in achieving the goal. Why don't these stalwarts think of those problems first, and either tell us how those problems can be resolved, or advise the government that this is an impractical goal.
After all, when the Ministry of HRD asked CBSE to start AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Exam), it was done with the definite goal that this will be that single exam for all engineering colleges. Why did that not happen. Why do some states continue with their own engineering entrance tests. Why do many private universities continue to have their own tests. But most importantly, why do IITs continue to have their own test.
I am particularly asking this question about merging AIEEE and JEE, since this should have been the easiest to achieve administratively. After all, both CBSE and IITs are supervised by Ministry of HRD. MHRD can call the stake holders of both the exams, and thrash out any issues. If you can not convince your own organizations to do a single exam, then you should forget about a grand unification of all exams in the country. It is a waste of time even attempting it.
Why can't we merge AIEEE and JEE. I don't know, but I can do some loud thinking. First is the issue of trust. I don't think IITs really trust that AIEEE is organized as honestly as JEE (though there is really no data point to doubt the integrity of AIEEE, if anything they are more transparent). Second, there is a difference of opinion on whether the entrance test should be to select those who are good students and understand the 12th class science, or the entrance test should select those who don't need to be taught science in the first year. And lastly, let us not forget that both the exams earn a handsome amount of money for the organizers. And then, of course, IIT system has time and again shown that they are rigid, and would adopt changes only when the Minister has the guts to call their bluff and force them to change (and then we will all crib about loss of autonomy). So we will not give up JEE unless Minister forces us to do so.
I don't think there are any insurmountable problems in merging AIEEE and JEE. And unless it is done, you do not have any moral authority to ask other universities or states to not conduct their own entrance exam. If IITs have a special need for their own exam, when they test the same subjects, with roughly the same curriculum, then how can you argue that the University of XYZ, who actually has a different admission criteria (may be they test the language, or they give different weights to Physics, Chemistry and Maths, or they have a different syllabus, etc.), does not have that special need for its own exam.
Also, people suggesting a single entrance exam would do well to study the admission process in US universities. If they do that, they will realize that while US does have its SAT, it is only one of the many parameters that the admission office will look at. There is a subjective evaluation of multiple parameters, which is important since different universities may want to (and indeed do) give different weights to components of that evaluation. In Indian scenario, having subjective evaluation of admission applications is unthinkable because of the pressure that it would entail on the admission office, to give admission to well connected ones. So, if a university genuinely wants to evaluate different skills, it has no option but to go for its own admission test.
We have this important requirement that the admission test should be after the board exams in March. We need to finalize admissions by July, and therefore, all results must come in June (preferably early June). All this means that we only have about one month for all the exams, from 1st week of April to 1st week of May. Therefore, we cannot have the luxury of allowing a repeat of the exam, if a candidate does not perform well in that exam on that day. This is too dangerous for students, if we are going to have a single exam. Multiple exams actually allow mental peace to students as they know that if they don't perform well in one exam, they still have hopes of getting admission in the next best set of Institutes.
To have a single exam, we will have to have a system by which a student can give the exam twice or even thrice within the same admission cycle. This would mean that the exam would have to be conducted throughout the year. It means that the syllabus to be tested can only be 11th class syllabus, but that is not standardized across the country. (The combined syllabus of 11th and 12th has a reasonable overlap across the country, but the order in which these topics are taught in different boards vary.)
And, of course, the exams are a major money earner for the state technical universities as well as the private universities. (But this is changing. Private universities have realized that they can charge Rs. 1000 per candidate as application fee, even if they are using AIEEE score for admission. So why conduct one's own exam, which is an additional cost.)
Based on all the reasons I have stated above, I do not see a common entrance exam for all engineering colleges in near future.
So, is there no hope at all. Well, I think there is a possibility of a common entrance test, but it will have to be very different from anything that is going on right now. First of all, it will have to be a computer based test, with a large question bank in every subject, generating random questions for every candidate form that bank. Second, it will have to be conducted through out the year, with students allowed to take it multiple times, and improve their score. Third, it will have to have several optional components so that different universities can consider scores in different sections, depending on their needs. Different sections may be not just physics, chemistry, maths, biology, engineering drawing, english (and other languages), aptitude, general knowledge, and so on, but could also be Maths (low level), and Maths (high level). Also, within a section, the test could be adaptive like GRE, where by the questions asked depend on the level of the candidate. If a candidate is answering most questions correctly, then the computer starts asking more difficult questions from the question bank (and of course, it has historical data to standardize all questions' difficulty level), and the reverse happens, if a candidate cannot answer many questions. This would imply that the higher score is not just by answering more easy questions, but indicate an understanding of the higher order by that candidate.
All this will take at least 7-8 years from now. JEE preparations start an year in advance. So, no change in 2012. The earliest that AIEEE and JEE can be merged is 2013. After its experience will it become easier to convince others. At least 3-4 years will be needed for those negotiations. So if your kids have gone past the primary school, do not hope for the common entrance test for him/her.

In my last column, I talked about strategies for performing domain reconstruction and consolidation as part of your a Windows 2000 migration and recommended inter-forest reconstruction. I ended the article promising to write about the tools that Microsoft provides to help with these consolidation efforts but, after reading your feedback, I have decided to postpone that discussion until next week. Instead, I'll talk about more of the important issues surrounding domain reconstruction.
During inter-forest reconstruction, you copy or move user, group, and computer accounts from an existing Windows NT 4.0 domain structure to a new, pristine Win2K forest. The additional hardware required in an inter-forest reconstruction adds to a migration's expense, but it ensures that you can recover from problems that can arise during the migration because the accounts in your NT 4.0 domains remain unchanged and in place. Your current NT 4.0 environment sits unaffected while you populate your Active Directory (AD), so you have ample time to test and fine-tune your Win2K implementation before decommissioning your NT domains.
SIDs, Access Tokens, and DACLs
To understand the process and challenges of moving security principals from the NT 4.0 source domains to the Win2K target domain, it's important to understand how security works in both Win2K and NT. When a Win2K or NT system creates directory objects, including users, computers, and groups, it assigns a SID to each. As part of the authentication process, the system grants access tokens to users when they log on. An access token contains the SID for a user account and the SID for all the groups that the user belongs to. When a user attempts to access a network resource, the system checks the access token against the resource's Discretionary Access Control List (DACL), a list of SIDs that the system has granted or denied access to for the resource. For users to successfully access a network resource, their SID or the SID of the group that they're a member of must appear on the DACL.
Understanding this process is important when planning domain reconstruction because an object's SID is specific to its domain. A SID serves as two separate IDs: a domain ID that's the same for every object in that domain and a unique ID that's specific to that object. Therefore, if you move or copy a security principal from an NT domain to a Win2K domain, its SID changes because its domain membership changes. Based on what we know about NT's security, the object you move or copy can't access network resources that it had permission to access with its previous SID. Before Win2K, this limitation meant that moving or coping a user or group between domains involved searching the source domain and all trusting domains for references to the object's old SID and updating the DACL with the object's new SID—an impractical solution.
The Wonderful sIDHistory Attribute
Win2K security principals have an additional attribute called sIDHistory that can help you overcome the challenge of reassigning SIDs. sIDHistory stores an object's previous SID, so when users log on to a Win2K domain, the sIDHistory attribute appends to their access tokens along with new SIDs. Because group objects in Win2K also include the sIDHistory attribute, both old and new group SIDs append to the access tokens as well. Because the access tokens contain both SIDs, access is unaffected for users you move or copy when the system checks them against a resource's DACL. You can populate the sIDHistory attribute value in Native Mode Win2K domains only, which in effect requires that all target domains be Win2K Native Mode domains. Also, the use of sIDHistory in effect doubles the number of SID entries that appear on a access token. SID entries are limited to 1023.
Next week, I'll get to the tools that Microsoft provides to help you move and copy NT 4.0 accounts to a Win2K forest while migrating and maintaining the sIDHistory attribute. Understanding these principles and processes will help you know how these tools work and grasp some important post-reconstruction tasks that we will discuss in a future article. Again, if you're planning or have begun your Win2K migration, feel free to post any questions or discoveries as responses to this article. We're still early on in the move to Win2K, and we all can learn from each others' experiences.

Voters in at least five rural Colorado counties decided Tuesday they are done with the state government and want to pursue creating the 51st state of "Northern Colorado."
Voters in Phillips, Cheyenne, Washington, Yuma and Kit Carson counties voted "yes" on a ballot question that asked if they would like their county commissioners to pursue secession from Colorado, along with commissioners from other counties, according to the Denver Post.
Ten northeastern and one northwestern county had the question on their ballots Tuesday.
The vote means county leadership can embark on what many see as a longshot effort to pursue secession, which would have to be approved by Colorado's Legislature and eventually the U.S. Congress.
The effort was spearheaded by commissioners and residents from Weld County, the state's third largest county. However, 57 percent of the voters in the county had voted against exploring secession as of Tuesday night, according to the Denver Post.
Weld County resident Jeffrey Hare, the spokesman for the 51st State Initiative, told FoxNews.com the movement has grown out of grassroots frustration with a series of bills passed by the Colorado legislature recently, most notably the strict gun control law that led to the recall of two Democratic state lawmakers in September.
"We all asked the question what else can be done," Hare said.
Weld County Commissioner Douglas Rademacher says several factors will determine if the counties who voted in favor can take the movement all the way to Congress, but it is possible.
"I believe the voice of rural Colorado has been diminished over the past several decades. We feel we need to restore that voice for our residents," Rademacher said.
Rademacher says other options are being explored to "restore the voice of rural Colorado," including a bill that will examine how state senators are sent to the Capitol.

Tracy Morgan taken to rehab facility for long recovery
Tracy Morgan was transferred out of the hospital into a rehab facility where he's expected to remain a few weeks for a long recovery.
After being released from the hospital, Tracy Morgan was transferred to a rehab facility where he will stay for a few weeks.
According to Morgan's rep, the 30 Rock star has been slowly improving but will have to undergo a long-term recovery for his extensive accident injuries.
Tracy Morgan leg amputation rumors are fabricated >>
"Tracy has been transferred to an undisclosed rehab center, where he is expected to remain for the next few weeks. While he is continuing to show signs of improvement, he still has a long way to go," the rep said is a statement. "He and [fiancée] Megan wanted to publicly express their deepest gratitude to everyone at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital for the unbelievable care and attention they provided him."
Morgan was in critical condition following a serious six-car accident in New Jersey on June 7. He suffered a badly broken leg, a broken nose and broken ribs. His friend and fellow comedian James McNair was killed in the crash. While initially Morgan was in bad shape, several days after being in intensive care he was upgraded to fair condition.
Tracy Morgan crash: Truck driver plays the victim >>
Chronicling his progress on her Facebook page, Morgan's fiancée posted a message to fans, saying, "All your prayers helped- moving forward- stable & fair condition, but the journey continues... #faith."
Meanwhile, Kevin Roper, the truck driver who slammed into Morgan's limo, causing the fatal crash, was believed to be speeding prior to the accident. However, he has pleaded not guilty and his attorney released a statement expressing his sympathy for McNair's family and "heartfelt wishes for a full recovery of those who suffered injuries in the accident."

It looks like Salisbury City are heading out of the Football Conference Premier (pending a consultation with Salisbury's legal advisors).
If they do head out, Forest Green Rovers will get a reprieve from relegation.
Club statement (Thursday, May 20, 10am)
The Directors would like to update the supporters on the current status of the club.
By Salisbury City FC - Thursday, 20th May 2010
Many supporters will be aware of the very difficult situation that the club was in when the new directors became involved. There was a very real threat that an important part of the local community could disappear. Despite the myriad of issues facing the club the new directors managed to keep the club afloat through a period of administration to complete a Creditors Voluntary Arrangement and provide the team with enough resources to finish a very successful season on the field, something that looked very unlikely only a few months ago.
During this period all salaries, payments to suppliers and other liabilities have been met in full. We have upgraded the floodlights system as directed by the FA and Football Conference to meet BSP status, paid all football creditors, and also met our requirements under the CVA and all other footballing responsibilities to the Conference and FA.
In addition the club has been helped in many ways by local businesses with support and donation of funds, together with volunteers and unpaid helpers, the members of the supporters club and everyone who helps make football at this level the fabric of our community. We are particularly proud of the work done in the name of Salisbury City by many unsung volunteers and helpers who have brought all the youth teams much closer to the club and helped re-establish our football in the community programme. The club would like to place on record our appreciation of everyone who has played a part in this important work.
Despite this effort and success at stabilising the club there has been an ongoing issue that the club has been unable to overcome so far. The issue is that of Appendix E in the Football Conference rules, which states that any club which suffers an insolvency event during the course of a season must pay all creditors in full by the second Saturday in May. According to the rules failure to pay all creditors in full would mean that the club would not be eligible for inclusion in the league for the next season and the FA would need to place the club in an alternative league.
The Directors have worked ceaselessly to find a solution that would keep Salisbury City where we deserve to be on merit, which is in the Conference Premier. Part of this solution was to construct a CVA that met the requirements of the Conference for the amended Appendix E which is likely to be adopted at the forthcoming AGM on 12th June. In effect the club will be fully compliant with the new rules in just over 3 weeks time and in those circumstances would be eligible for inclusion in the Blue Square Bet competition.
Over the last month in particular the Directors have worked with the Conference, to find a solution that would bring a satisfactory conclusion to this issue. Unfortunately the club have now concluded that it will not be possible to satisfy their requirements and have accordingly advised the Conference of this.
As a result the Club has now been informed that despite all our achievements and efforts we will not be eligible to play in the Conference in the coming 2010/11 season. Naturally we feel a great sense of injustice that having complied with every request from the Conference, the fans, all the employees, the management and players will be made to suffer.
The Club will now continue to consult with its legal advisors, as to the best way forward.
The new directors will continue to work for the benefit of the club and its supporters and to seek new ways in which Salisbury City can continue to progress commercially and more importantly as a vibrant part of the local community.
Further updates will be made as information becomes available.

On Tuesday, it was announced that the Taste of Chicago would be serving Asian carp "sliders"--for free. That got us at RedEye wondering: would we eat it? And, therefore, this edition of food fight was born. So, without further ado ...
Would you eat Asian carp?
Would Asian carp be my first choice on a restaurant menu? Probably not. But if it's free and dished up by expert seafood chefs from Dirk's Fish, and I'm a little bit hungry and happen to find myself at the Taste of Chicago—you bet I'll eat that. I'd be more grossed out downing half the other items at the Taste. Do you really think an Asian carp slider seasoned with oregano, garlic and lemon zest would taste worse than mac 'n' cheese bites, fried ravioli and beef on a stick in 90-degree heat?--Dana Kavan, @chicagodana


text: Events for school leavers The end of the school year inevitably means saying 'Cheerio' to a group of pupils, but how are you planning to mark the occasion? Leavers' BBQ (and family rounders match) Clare Barnes, PTA Secretary, West Witney Primary school, West Witney, Oxfordshire (309 pupils): 'Every year, our school organises a barbecue for all Year 6 pupils, the parents and teachers. Normally this includes a game of rounders where the children are up against parents and teachers. This is something that is organised by the school (the PTA gives our leavers a professionally printed yearbook, which includes each child's school photo from Early Years - if we have it!). The event isn't organised to make a profit, rather so the school can wish the leavers a fond farewell. The rounders game is held on the school field one evening during the last week of the school term. Our Headteacher's husband runs the barbecue and the Year 6 teachers pitch in, which creates a nice atmosphere for the children. The event is run so that the parents and children arrive at school for around 6pm. The Head and Year 6 teachers set up a rounders game on the school field, and those who want to take part in a game are welcomed into the adults vs children match! After the game we have a barbecue, which includes burgers and hotdogs. For the final part of the evening, the children are encouraged to bring water pistols and we have a big water fight finale! I think they have been lucky the last few years, we've always had a lovely warm summer evening.' Graduoke gift Emma Evans, PTA Chair, Stewart Fleming Primary School, London (480 pupils): 'We wanted something unique - after some research, we came across TDH Media, which produces a personal pop video filmed at school with the children singing along to a track. This sounded like just the novel idea we were looking for! The cost was approximately £10 per child - with a total fee of £565, which included the filming and a DVD for each child. This was slightly above our budget but it was worth the cost and the kids loved filming it. We were so impressed with the finished product! It was very simple. We just picked a song and then spent a day recording it at the end of term. The school actually allowed us to premiere the video in the school hall after the Year 6 production. In fact, many of the parents cried! This year is my first year as Chair and I'm going to discuss leavers' gifts with the school council and see what the Year 6 children want to do this year, but I think the Graduoke is going to be a popular choice!' Price is £10 per DVD per child for two classes. For more information, visit tdhmedia.co.uk/graduoke. Here are some ideas from our PTA+ Facebook friends... Helen Heaton: 'We have teamed up with a local restaurant to organise an evening meal with a set menu, and the children will be getting dressed up. We are also planning for the children to put together a DVD of their school memories, with photos from Reception onwards. This will be presented to them in their leavers' assembly.' Jemma Orange: 'So far we have done a glitz and glam disco with a buffet, autograph books, a pool party with a Hawaiian theme, a BBQ, and a masquerade ball where pupils made their own masks!' Jo Roche: 'We bought cheap certificate frames and got parents to submit a picture of their first day at school and a current one in uniform. These were printed on one A4 sheet together with a group photo with all the children's names. We only charged £5 per head and had a party on the playing field with music, hot dogs, candy floss, nail painting and some organised games.' Dionne Doyne: 'We have held a ball, had a Year 6 sleepover in the school hall with DVDs and a midnight feast. A garden party, we bought some very cheap wigs, sunglasses and feather boas, etc and made them some large picture frames where we photo-boothed them! All were very much enjoyed.' Snjezana Cormack: 'Leavers disco with the theme... My daughters year had a celebrity theme, so they all came in dress like famous people and we had a red carpet…' Nicola Tidball: 'Historically our PTFA have funded leavers gifts and hold an end of year disco for the whole school as a farewell. The Year 6 children and their parents organise a year 6 only event... Anything from bowling to a house party.' Clare Flack: 'Disco and sit down dinner with a theme that the children choose.' Andy Marczak: 'Year 6 host their own show, and we do the bar and ice creams in the interval. They also have a leavers party, just for the kids, and last year we were lucky that Domino's donated half the food.' Clare Goldsack: 'A leavers' disco at the end of term, and we also give out t-shirts wth all the pupils' signatures printed on them.' Jenny Pestaille Collom: 'We always hold a family party open to the whole school, where everyone can say farewell to Year 6. We also make a presentation for them, which always goes down well.' Susan Hopkins: 'I organised a Roald Dahl themed party and managed to buy Wonka Bars online. I also gave out Wonka Bar invites that looed like golden tickets. You might also be able to get edible sweets on rice paper that you could use as lickable wallpaper - although for hygiene purposes, you would have to give everyone their own strip!' Julie Caines: 'We used to organise a Year 6 leavers' party as a thank-you for supporting our events over the years. We provided a disco, hotdogs and ice-creams, drinks and glow-sticks. We took photos and printed them out for the children for free.' Read our updated step-by-step guide to running a disco. Read our updated step-by-step guide to running a leavers' prom.

BEIT MIDRASH – A Place for Learning
Our mission is to sow the seeds of a lifetime dedication to Torah, Mitzvot, and Jewish values. Our religious school also promotes Zionism and the State of Israel, love of the Hebrew Language, and each Jew's responsibility to be an integral part of the Jewish and secular communities in which we live.
Congregation Kol Ami offers youth from pre-school through high school an opportunity to explore the depths and beauty of our tradition and the Hebrew language. Our mission is to sow the seeds of a lifetime dedication to Torah and Mitzvot, by promoting Zionism, the State of Israel, love of the Hebrew Language, and the responsibility to be an integral part of the Jewish and secular communities in which we live.
For our 2017-2018 school year, classes are offered for grades Pre-Kindergarten (age 4) through 6th grade, Saturdays at Kol Ami from 9 am to 12 pm, taught by experienced Judaica teachers. Each school session also includes a Tefillah (prayer) session led by Rabbi Kinberg. Grades 4-6 also meet on Wednesdays or Thursdays for a midweek Hebrew session.
Kitah Gan (Pre-K and Kindergarten)focuses on experiential activities involving crafts, movement, music, and storytelling to engage students in learning basic Jewish symbols, celebrations and Jewish values.
Kitah Aleph through Kitah Gimmel (1-4 grades)begin an integrated curriculum that introduces Hebrew reading for prayer. The Judaica portion of the curriculum is built on three pillars of Judaism: Torah, Avodah (worship), and G'milut Chasadim (acts of loving-kindness). The idea that we are a holy people, created in God's image, is stressed at this level. The study of Torah and acts of loving-kindness are ways in which we learn of our partnership with God. We also focus on our holy days and an introduction to Jewish history.
Kitah Daled through Kitah Vav (Grades 5-6) continue studying Hebrew for prayer with Mitkadem and the ability to understand key Jewish prayers. We learn about the history of Torah, the Holocaust, and modern Israel. Fourth through Sixth graders also meet on Wednesdays or Thursdays for additional Hebrew studies.
Kitah Zion (7th Grade)master Hebrew for prayer in preparation for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah. The Jewish life cycle and understanding Reform Judaism are also studied. Students also meet individually with their Torah Tutor.
Post Bar/Bat Mitzvah teens are encouraged to remain involved in the religious school by serving as Madrichim (teacher aides) or tutors.

Our first podcast is now available! Download it here.
Since this is our first podcast, we start off the show by introducing ourselves and discussing how we see our podcast as being different from all of the other video game podcasts out there.
In our rant, we discuss how Electronic Gaming Monthly has degraded over time into a magazine that seems to enjoy ripping on games, their flawed review procedures, and their unbalanced top 200 list.
We discuss what we are currently playing, which includes: Dragon Quest VIII, Kameo, Call of Duty 2, Midway Arcade Classics (PSP), World of Warcraft, Real Flight (RC Helicopter Simulator) (PC), Geometry Wars, Neo Geo emulation (PSP), and the Star Wars arcade game.
In the news segment we discuss the fact that the 50 Cent video game went platinum, Xbox 360 and Revolution game delays, more PS3 details, a fired Sony employee, Majesco and Atari reporting losses, and the fact that Halo 2 will only work on Windows Vista.

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month.
JDRF, a charity I am very passionate about, will be undertaking public awareness initiatives during this month such as T1 Day on 11/1/11 and World Diabetes Day on November 14th. Please donate $11 or more in support of National Diabetes Awareness Month!
I want to talk to you about something that I care about dearly, and that it is spreading awareness and funding research for Type 1 diabetes. My husband has type 1 diabetes, so this issue hits close to home.
Did you know that as many as 3 million Americans may have type 1 diabetes? This is an unbelivable statistic! Each year, more than 15,000 children and 15,000 adults, approximately 80 people per day, are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the U.S.
- Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly and lasts a lifetime, requiring them to take multiple injections of insulin daily or continually infuse insulin through a pump;
- Every 35 seconds someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes;
- Diabetes can lead to severe health problems and complications such as heart disease, stroke, vision loss, kidney disease, nerve damage, and amputation;
- JDRF is the worldwide leader in funding research to cure type 1 diabetes, with more than $1.5 billion allocated to research since 1970, and is committed to improving the lives of people with diabetes today and in the future;
JDRF's mission has been constant since it was founded four decades ago: to find a cure for type 1 diabetes through the support of research. Until a cure is found, JDRF is also committed to working tirelessly to develop new and better treatments to improve the lives of people who have type 1 diabetes and keep them as healthy as possible.
I support the research that the folks at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation are doing, and would even if my husband didn't have diabetes. Given the opportunity, I would be an advocate for all the work the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is doing.
Warning Signs
Warning signs of type 1 diabetes may occur suddenly and include:
- Extreme thirst
- Frequent urination
- Drowsiness
- Increased appetite
- Sudden weight loss
- Sudden vision changes
- Sugar in the urine
- Fruity odor on the breath
- Heavy or labored breathing
- Stupor or unconsciousness
Select the DONATE button above and give $11 or more in support of 11/1/11 (T1 Day).
Thank you!

John Law extended a hand and stopped her. "There," said he. "It will suffice. I can not demean you. There is the child."
"You called her Catharine!" broke out the woman once more in her ungovernable rage. "You would name my child—"
"Madam, get up!" said John Law, sharply and sternly. "Get up on your feet and look me in the face. The child shall be called for her who should have been its mother. Let those forgive who can. That you have ruined my life for me is but perhaps a fair exchange; yet you shall say no word against that woman whose life we have both of us despoiled."
Law passed on out at the gate of the stockade and down to the bivouac, where Pembroke and his men had spent the night.
"Now, Sir Arthur," said he to the latter, when he had found him, "come. I am ready to talk with you. Let us go apart."
Pembroke joined him, and the two walked slowly away toward the encircling wood which swept back of the stockade. Law turned upon him at length squarely.
"Sir Arthur," said he, "I think you would tell me something concerned with the Lady Catharine Knollys. Do you bring any message from her?"
The face of Pembroke flamed scarlet with sudden wrath. "Message!" said he. "Message from Lady Catharine Knollys to you? By God! sir, her only message could be her hope that she might never hear your name again."
"You have still your temper, Sir Arthur, and you speak harsh enough."
"Harsh or not," rejoined Pembroke, "I scarce can endure her name upon your lips. You, who scouted her, who left her, who took up with the lewdest woman in all Great Britain, as it now appears—you who would consort with this creature—"
"In this matter," said John Law, simply, "you are not my prisoner, and I beg you to speak frankly. It shall be man and man between us."
"How you could have stooped to such baseness is what mortal man can never understand," resumed Sir Arthur, bitterly. "Good God! to abandon a woman like that so heartlessly—"
"Sir Arthur," said John Law, his voice trembling, "I do myself the very great pleasure of telling you that you lie!"
For a moment the two stood silent, facing each other, the face of each stony, gone gray with the emotions back of it.
"There is light," said Pembroke, "and abundant space."
They turned and paced back farther toward the open forest glade. Yet now and again their steps faltered and half paused, and neither man cared to go forward or to return. Pembroke's face, stern as it had been, again took on the imprint of a growing hesitation.
"Mr. Law," said he, "there is something in your attitude which I admit puzzles me. I ask you in all honor, I ask you on the hilt of that sword which I know you will never disgrace, why did you thus flout the Lady Catharine Knollys? Why did you scorn her and take up with this woman yonder in her stead?"

Specializations in: Substance Abuse and Addictions Counseling (SAAC) and Counseling Military Service Personnel and their Families (MSPF). Antioch is a private, not-for-profit university. (*This program is NOT available to students in CA, IL, IA, KS, MO, NH, ND)
It is also acceptable to have a master's that is between 48 and 60 semester hours in length if you take additional graduate courses to complete the 60 semester hour minimum.
The State Board of Social Workers, Marriage & Family Therapists, and Professional Counselors considers the following to be closely related degrees:

There are numerous CACREP-accredited programs in mental health counseling in Pennsylvania. You can also find multiple creative arts therapy programs within the state. There are three accredited art therapy programs (http://www.arttherapy.org/aata-educational-programs/) and one dance/ movement program. Drexel University is one of only six schools in the nation with a dance/ movement program that is approved by the American Dance Therapy Association (https://adta.org/approved-graduate-programs).
Examination Requirements
Pennsylvania accepts a number of examinations for licensing purposes (http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/049/chapter49/s49.11.html):
- National Counselor Examination (NCE) or Examination for Master Addictions Counselors (EMAC) -- administered by the National Board for Certified Counselors
- Certified Rehabilitation Counselor Examination (CRC) -- administered by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification
- Art Therapy Credentials Board Certification Examination (ATCB) -- administered by the Art Therapy Credentials Board (http://www.atcb.org/Examinations)

- Advanced Alcohol & Other Drug Abuse Counselor Examination (AAODA) -- administered by the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium/Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Inc. (http://internationalcredentialing.org/)
The board notes that whatever examination you take, you'll need to apply directly to the testing agency to take the test. You will make arrangements to have your testing results sent to the Pennsylvania board.
Most of the above are specialty examinations, designed for professionals with training in a particular branch of counseling or in a related helping profession. The NCE is a general professional counseling exam that is used in many states for licensing purposes. It is also a viable option for dance/ movement therapists.
If you opt for the NCE, you will take a computerized test; sessions are scheduled two weeks out of each month. As a candidate for Pennsylvania licensure, you will send a registration form to the NBCC along with an official transcript showing that you have a master's in counseling or a related field. You will also need to include a $185 fee (http://www.nbcc.org/Assets/StateForms/Reg/PA-NCE.pdf).
There are 12 Pennsylvania sites.
Supervised Practice
If your highest degree is a master's, you will be eligible for licensure when you have accrued 3,000 hours of qualifying experience.
You may only count hours that you accrued after completing at least 48 semester hours of graduate coursework.
If you have a doctoral degree, you will only need to work under supervision for 2,400 hours to become eligible for licensing. You may count some hours that you completed prior to conferral of your doctorate. However, you must complete at least 1,200 hours after receiving your degree.
As noted in the LPC application instructions, you may not count practicum or internship as part of your supervised experience.
At least half of your experience requirement must be met through the following direct client services:
- Counseling
- Assessment
- Therapy
- Psychotherapy
- Consultation
- Family therapy
- Group therapy
- Other therapeutic services
Your supervisor will be someone who has training and experience in the area(s) where you will be completing your supervised practice. S/he will make observations, discuss your strengths and weaknesses, and make recommendations for your continued professional growth. S/he will also make recommendations for licensing purposes.
You should meet with your delegated supervisor at least two hours for every 40 hours of supervised experience that you do.
You won't necessarily accrue all your experience in the same setting, but in order to count it, it will need to meet the following requirement:
- You must work 30 - 40 hours a week in the same setting for at least a three month period (or 15 or more hours a week in the same setting for at least a six month period).
- You may credit between 600 and 1,800 hours a year and meet your obligation over a period of two to six years.
The Application Process
You will find application materials on the board website (Click Here for the website.) Some services have gone online (http://www.dos.pa.gov/ProfessionalLicensing/BoardsCommissions/Pages/Online-Licensing-Services.aspx). You may also request to have them mailed to you.
Your application file will include several supplemental documents:
- You will include a curricula vitae with your application.
- You will have your certifying agency send exam results to the Pennsylvania board.
- You will solicit two recommendations on official forms. These you will submit with your application.
- You will also need verification of your supervised experience. Your supervisor(s) will need to fill out the forms, but they will return them to you in sealed envelopes.
- You will include a $45.00 fee made out to "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania"
Application materials may be mailed to:
State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors
P.O. Box 2649
Harrisburg, PA 17105-2649
Out of State Applicants
As a practicing counselor, you will need to get license verification from each jurisdiction where you have held a license.
There are multiple paths you may take to show eligibility for Pennsylvania licensure (http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/049/chapter49/chap49toc.html). If you have been engaged in active practice elsewhere, you may be eligible for license by endorsement (without examination). Your educational requirements will need to meet the standards set by Pennsylvania. You will need a letter attesting that you have a license in good standing. You will also need to show that you have completed 3,000 hours of supervised practice that conformed to the standards set by your jurisdiction. (The Pennsylvania board notes, on the application, that you can get this from the board of your own municipality.)
You may choose this eligibility path if you have been practicing professional counseling for at least five out of the preceding seven years.
License Maintenance
You will need to renew your Pennsylvania license biannually, on odd-numbered years. During each renewal cycle, you must complete 30 clock hours of continuing education. At least three hours must pertain to ethics.
You will need to provide a signed statement that you have met your obligation. If selected for audit, you will be asked to furnish additional documentation.
Additional Information
If you are still in High School, hold a High School Diploma/GED, or hold a bachelor's degree, check out suggested steps to take along the path to becoming a counselor in Pennsylvania.
You may contact the State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors by calling (717) 783-1389 or emailing [email protected]
You may request a written copy of the rules and regulations from the Pennsylvania board. Make sure to provide you mailing address.

Hood College is using a Human Resources Capital Management System (HRCMS) known as the Employee Portal to house employee payroll and human resources information. The Employee Portal provides employees with a very convenient and streamlined process for accessing and updating their personnel, benefits, and payroll information. The web-based system is also "green" because it reduces the need for paper forms.
Employees will be able to:
Employees will use their Hood College e-mail address as their user name. The first time into the portal, employees will use a password which consists of their birth date and the last four digits of their social security number. (MMDDYYYY####). Once you enter that information, you will be able to set your own password. Please note your password must be 8 – 25 characters in length and include one capital letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character (like $,#,!) After you enter your new password, you will be asked to answer three security questions which will help you reset your password should you forget it in the future. See instructions.
You will be able to change your password from the main Employee Portal web page. See instructions.
Please contact the Human Resources Department. You may e-mail email@example.com or call Vanessa on ext. 3558.
For employment information, please send an e-mail message to email@example.com or call Vanessa Roberts on ext. 3558.
For benefits information, please send an e-mail message to email@example.com or call Sharon Smith on ext. 3590.
For payroll or timecard questions, please send an e-mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com or call Teresa Conklin on ext. 3608.
No, the Employee Portal is web-based and can be accessed through the internet at any location.
Yes. This information is protected according to data security protocols at the highest level. You can help to maintain the security of your personal and other data by adhering to the College's security policies, not saving the password to the browser, and logging off after each session. You may review these policies.
Yes, you may use the Apple operating systems to access the Employee Portal.
The Employee Portal was designed to run optimally under Firefox versions 3.5 – 3.6 and Internet Explorer versions 7 and 8. Using another browser may still allow an employee into the Employee Portal, but some pages may not display properly.
Yes, the Employee Portal will automatically log you out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
No, you will view and print your pay statement from the Employee Portal.
Your pay statement will be available to view as early as Wednesday of a pay week. The funds will not be available until the actual pay date. Also, you can print the statement for proof of employment for loans or any other financial verification.
The College is going to mail the W-2s to employees. Beginning with the W-2s for the 2012 calendar year, employees will be able to access and print copies for tax filing. Beginning that same time, W-2s will remain available via the portal.

Florida wine enthusiasts have something to cheer about, but that could soon change.
On Feb.16, Florida agreed to permit out-of-state wineries to make direct shipment of wine to adult consumers, giving Florida wine lovers a little more freedom of choice. Consumer demand for fine wines continues to thrive, and Florida represents the second-largest wine market in the U.S.
The Florida Legislature is working on implementing legislation that determines how direct shipment should be regulated. However, there is debate over a proposed capacity cap that would deny Florida consumers the very access the courts recently allowed.
The cap would ban wineries that produce 250,000 gallons or more from shipping to Florida. This cap would also ban wineries that do not produce that much, but are owned or distributed by wineries that do.
This is important because some will lead you to believe that this cap helps smaller wineries, when in fact it hurts them -- the only way that most small wineries can survive is to diversify the way in which they sell their wine. Many smaller wineries cannot afford to distribute nationally, so direct shipment enables them to expand into new markets.
A cap in any form is discriminatory and works against consumer choice, fair trade and the spirit and intent behind the ruling.
My bill, Senate Bill 282, does not have this capacity cap. Why would we prefer one company over another when they are producing the same legal product?
This legislation gives Floridians increased choice in buying directly from any winery.
Consumers who want to purchase wines directly from wineries are being pitted against wine wholesalers, who want all purchases to flow through them. However, wholesalers could not stock and sell the 10,000 new wines produced each year by America's wineries.

Earliest evidence of domestic herding in the Negev Desert revealed
April 6, 2005
Although layers of dung accumulated by herds of sheep and goat sheltering in the caves of the Near East have long been an annoyance for archaeologists working on the prehistoric remains that lie beneath them, these layers in fact provide a rich source of new data on ancient shepherds and their environment. In the April 2005 issue of Current Anthropology, new research in the Negev Desert, Israel, reveals the archaeological potential of ancient desert dung that documents, among other things, the earliest direct evidence for the infiltration of domestic herd animals into the desert at around 5000 BC, and the presence of shepherds at different times in history.
Test excavations at five rock shelters in the central Negev by a joint team from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ben-Gurion University, the Ramon Science Center, and the Israel Antiquities Authority uncovered their use by shepherds and their flocks repeatedly over the course of the past 7000 years. The dung was easily identifiable as that of sheep or goat by comparison to the dung of modern Bedouin flocks still present in the region, and differs from that of other animals like gazelle, hyrax, onager, and even ibex. The dung has preserved in the arid climate of the Negev, especially well protected from the elements. The preservation of the organic matter provided ideal material for radiocarbon (C14) dating, essential in light of the fact the lone shepherds with their flocks carry little in the way of identifiable material culture.
The record of the radiocarbon sequence provides a history of shepherding in the desert, which combines with the fluctuating presence of larger camps and settlements, providing a complex view of changing settlement in the arid zone. Further research on these remains will also provide the details of ancient environments, providing perspective on how early pastoral nomads adapted to the desert.
Sponsored by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Current Anthropology is a transnational journal devoted to research on humankind, encompassing the full range of anthropological scholarship on human cultures and on the human and other primate species. Communicating across the subfields, the journal features papers in a wide variety of areas, including social, cultural, and physical anthropology as well as ethnology and ethnohistory, archaeology and prehistory, folklore, and linguistics.

Serious executives are cautious about the self-serving hype served by "solution providers", like «cutting-edge technology, dramatic cost-cutting, state-of-the-art, artificial-intelligence driven linguistic engine, utmost scalability» etc.
Wordfast has decided not to partake of this unverifiable blah-blah. See our policy on Advertizing and Public Relations for more explanations on this choice.
There is one way, however, to see what Wordfast really has to offer. www.proz.com is the independent community of choice for thousands of translation/localization professionals worldwide. Its website offers practically everything a translation-dedicated portal could ever offer.
One of its sections is dedicated to translation tools (click "CAT center"). www.proz.com gives a short introduction on what CAT tools are all about, and offers many links to scholarly articles on CAT tools in general, and how effective they can be in a corporate environment.
Proz.com also offers a comparative list of CAT tools, where tools are rated based on votes cast by translation professionals. Since proz.com is a paying site, this eliminates bogus votes seen in other forums (believe it or not, some translation tool makers run forums with voting machines that inevitably... rate them #1). The result is: Wordfast is only second to Trados in terms of licenses sold, although it appeared much later on the market. An earlier rating (no longer available at PROZ) was rating Wordfast first in terms of quality and features, above all competitors.
There are countless sterling references to Wordfast's qualities - simply searching google will land you there: scholarly articles, conference proceedings, newsgroup discussions etc. Out of sheer respect, we would rather not shower you with the slick and egotic self-praise found in other CAT tool websites.
See our page on integrating Wordfast in a legacy translation environment for more information on deploying Wordfast in a corporate environment.

Sam Baker in concert Aug. 24
The Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association is proud to present the singer/songwriter Sam Baker on Sunday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Columbia Center for the Arts.
Sam recently appeared with Terry Gross on NPR's "Fresh Air," and Rolling Stone magazine named his latest CD, "Say Grace," as one of their top 10 country albums of 2013.
Sam's story is unique and inspiring. In 1986, Baker was traveling by train in Peru when a bomb placed on a luggage rack above his head by the Shining Path guerrilla group exploded, killing seven other passengers including the three people who had been sitting with him. His injuries required 17 reconstructive surgeries. He did retain enough dexterity to grasp a guitar pick and over time, re-taught himself to play his guitar left-handed, relearned speech, and began to write an entirely new, personal, and authentic type of song.
Tickets for the performance are $20 in advance, or $25 at the door, and the performance is a benefit for the non-profit CGOA. Tickets are available online at brownpapertickets.com, and at Waucoma Books in Hood River. For more information, visit cgoaonline.blogspot.com

Bainbridge-Guilford 11, Greene 7
GREENE Bainbridge-Guilford picked up its sixth win of the season topping Greene in a back-and-forth contest Thursday.
Greene scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth to close the B-G lead to 8-7. The Bobcats gained some needed insurance with three runs in the seventh. Danny Gormley hit a two-run double, and Corbin Palmer followed with an RBI single.
Gormley went 4-for-4 with two RBI, Paul Parsons had two hits including a two-run homer in the first, and Billy Holden had two hits and two RBI for B-G (6-2, 6-3).
Jeff Carlin was a perfect 4-for-4 to lead Greene, who failed to executed a squeeze play in the fifth that would have tied the game. Greene came out stroking the ball, and the top of their order is pretty solid, said B-G coach Tim Mattingly. They have some young kids; their future looks bright.
B-G hosts Sidney today.
Gre. 300 040 0 7 11 2
Cody Lake (W) and Gordie Shields. Jeff Carlin, Browning (4,L), Viglucci (6) and Andy Norton. Doubles: (BG) Gormley, Billy Holden. (G) Levine, Jeff Carlin (2), Hurlburt. (BG) Paul Parsons.
Norwich 12, Windsor 3
WINDSOR Norwich resumed its winning ways Thursday at Windsor plating nine runs over the final two innings to dispatch the Black Knights.
Brendan McInerney was a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs scored, Lucas Follett had three hits and drove in four runs, Nick McCullough also had three hits, while Mackay Hotaling drove in three runs and Colby Griffin knocked in two.
The Tornado bullpen pitched four scoreless innings to hold Windsor in check. Nate Winans pitched two scoreless innings of relief for his first varsity win, and Justin Lindenthaler finished with two scoreless frames.
The bullpen did another great job for us, and the best statistic is that we made no errors for the first time this season, said Norwich coach John Martinson. It was important for us to play good defense so that we can gain some confidence.

Research Using Animals
University Policy and Procedures
These pages are designed to expand on those guidelines to give staff and students additional support and guidance on the ethical use of animals in research. You will find links to useful information resources held on external web sites and to further university guidance.
The University is committed to ensure that the highest ethical standards and standards of care and respect for animal welfare are being maintained in all research where the use of animals is essential. Alternative methods to the use of animals are under constant development and animal procedures will be replaced with non-animal techniques wherever possible.
All projects involving animals, including studies which are not subject to Home Office licensing, are scrutinised and approved by the Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Body (AWERB), established in accordance with Home Office guidance and the RSCPA/Laboratory Animal Science Association (LASA) Guiding principles on good practice for local ethical review processes. The AWERB will ensure that in all cases staff and students are trained and appropriately experienced and that the potential benefits of the research outweigh the effects on the animals concerned and is committed to the promotion of the 3Rs (reduction, refinement and replacement):
- Reduction – to use the minimum number of animals,
- Refinement – to maintain the highest possible standards of animal care, use and welfare, to initiate improvements where possible and to minimise the effect on the animals,
- Replacement – to use alternatives wherever possible, for example, computer modelling, cell and molecular biology, tissue culture, human clinical research.
Only when the AWERB is fully satisfied that these principles are being adhered to will proposals be approved and, where a licence is required, submitted to the Home Office for its approval.
Highly experienced and qualified veterinary and animal care staff are actively involved in the ethical review and scrutiny of research, the welfare, care and husbandry of animals and provide advice and support to all staff and students involved in research using animals.
Legislation and Regulation
Animal research is governed by the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986, which provides for a licensing system, administered and regulated by the Home Office. The UK regulatory and licensing system is widely recognised as one of the most stringent in the world, a key tenant of which is animal welfare.
The licensing system has three tiers:
- locations where such work is carried out must be licensed under an Establishment Licence (PEL),
- particular projects are licensed under a Project Licence (PPL),
- every individual (staff and students) undertaking scientific procedures on animals must hold a Personal Licence (PIL).
Project licences are only granted where:
- there is no suitable alternative which would avoid using animals,
- the benefits of the project outweigh the effects on the animals, and
- the number of animals involved must be minimised and they must be treated in a humane manner and any suffering minimised as far as possible.
Applicants for Project and Personal Licences must undertake and pass an accredited training programme and be familiar with the legal and ethical framework involved in the use of animals for scientific purposes. Compliance with licences is actively investigated by the Home Office's Animals in Scientific Procedures Inspectorate, who have powers to suspend or terminate licences. Breaches of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act are liable to incur fines and even imprisonment.
Please see the University's Research Governance & Ethics and Research Code of Practice websites for more information.
For further information, email email@example.com
Please use your University email account when using that email address as emails from non university addresses will not be read.
The University endorses the NC3Rs ARRIVE Guidelines for the reporting of research using animals.

Hi! Welcome to The Art of Motherhood. I'm Lily and I created this site to document my ramblings and learnings as a first time mom.
Join me as I navigate and try to find the balance between the soft glow'd triumphs and the humbling lessons learned along the way. My sons, Oliver (born in 2013) and Ascher (2015), are very much my driving force and I cannot imagine anything more fulfilling than being their mama.
The web is a lonely place. So keep me company! I would love to hear your thoughts. Please leave me comments and we can go on this journey together!


text: Recently, I came across a method that helped me in two different ways. This method will help create conversions for a CPA offer and help you rank at the same time. The site I was promoting was a .org EMD for a 1900 Exact Local Monthly Searches keyword.The competition for the keyword was easy/moderate The site is less then 7 days old I did NOT optimize the site in any way except for the title tag (imagine the results if you did). In fact, the site actually only had 2 pages: my homepage which was a mess and didn't contain any info, and my landing page, which I used for this whole process. I never intended to rank this site. I was just using it as a place to send Twitter traffic so that my conversions looked good to my CPA network. The landing page consisted of a very basic "call to action" picture linking to my CPA offer. Basically, if someone was interested, they click the picture, if not, they leave the page. There was no text or other content as to keep the user focused. I created between 15-20 different shortened versions of this url with 15-20 different link shortening services (bitly, googl, tinyurl, etc.) Then I created a spun Tweet that created about 4000 unique Tweets. I included the shortened urls as part of the spintax process so that Twitter would not begin to recognize any particular url and ban it. Then, I scraped the followers of some industry leaders in my niche. I generated @replies with all of my 4000 different Tweets. I sent these out at a very safe pace, generally using only 1-3 accounts at a time to be safe (you can do more, I have begun to scale it and test its limits). After sending about 1000 of these @replies, not only did my CPA offer convert pretty well, but I ranked #20 on Google in less then 7 days from when I bought the domain! This method will NOT get you thousands of dollars a day, but it can easily be tweaked to get you around $50-$100 a day while ranking your site at the same time. Obviously, if you are actually trying to rank a site, you will want to do more SEO work, but this is a great foundation. After this most recent Panda update, Google loves seeing your link a lot on social media sites. At the very least, you may want to add Twitter to your SEO campaign to help give you a boost. Feel free to ask any questions. Twist this method around and make it unique, Good luck!

It's Fight or Flight for Christina Aguilera
Her album's tanking.
According to the Post, Christina Aguilera's Bionic has sold so terribly that her label RCA is panicking and in "rescue mode," a vague term that seems to imply she could possibly get dropped from the label if there isn't a miraculous turnaround. Like many artists recently, Aguilera has also canceled her summer tour. The Post notes that her early albums seemed edgy compared to her competitors at the time, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson, but not next to Lady Gaga and M.I.A. (Really, none of her former competitors are selling music like they used to, or at all in Simpson's case, either.) So either we're heading towards a good comeback story, or Aguilera's era is permanently over. [Page Six/NYP]

Hey, hey friends! Happy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by for today's Shelve It! It's been a while since I've splurged on books. Have you seen all the amazing deals for the kindle and nook? Holy moly — so many good books are half off or cheaper right now. Take advantage of this, guys! Estelle and […]
Ooh, I hope Going Bovine is good, I have liked the last couple of Libba's books that I've read!
And I too like both covers of Once Was Lost, I own the original – I hope you like it 😀
I read Being Friends With Boys not long ago and I enjoyed it a lot, I know she has another book out I'm hoping to read that soon 🙂 I hope you enjoy everything you got this week.
<a href="My IMM
You know what, I actually really like the redesign! I'm usually pretty indifferent toward them (at best), but this one is simply lovely. I think it's the font that does it for me.
HA! Thank you for reminding me that I really need to write my review for You Look Different.. I read it last month and while it definitely wasn't bad, it was pretty bland and not very memorable. It made for an enjoyable afternoon read though. Hopefully you'll like it a bit more than I did!
While I absolutely adore my local library, I'm WEEPING over their complete lack of Jennifer Echols! NOT A SINGLE BOOK. I've only heard the highest of praises in regards to her book and now it's looking as though I'm going to have to dive in & buy them. I need to find out what I'm missing!
Awesome haul. I won't be buying anything for a while because my review backlog is insane but I'll be adding to my Goodreads TBR list for sure! Hope you enjoy all your books!
I've tried to read Abbi Glines and just couldn't do it. I'll be curious if you feel the same or end up liking her stuff. Yay Sara Zarr! I know how much you love her 🙂
I stopped myself after I bought three books off the Amazon sale (although I'm fairly certain I'm buying more soon). I got Being Friends with Boys as well, yay!
Awesome haul-I am looking forward to reading most of these too especially You Look Different in Real Life. Not sure about the redesign for Once Was Lost as I really liked the original.
I actually bought Going Bovine recently, as well! I have been dying to read it, so I'm excited to finally have it in my collection.
Oh, I love all These contemporaries here – haven't read one in a while 🙂 Also, I like both covers for Sarah Zarr's books, but I prefer the orig!inal title…it was more Special, I think
Awwww, but it's always lovely to see your pretty face in your vlog, books or no books 🙂
