The Westminster City Council named six residents to its first Environmental Advisory Board Monday, and Monroe G. Haines came to watch.
Maybe now the dogged activist can take a breather.
"I'm pleased to have an advisory board to help me in my one-man campaign to clean up the environment," he said, eliciting laughter from the full council room.
Council President Kenneth A. Yowan suggested that the advisory board invite Mr. Haines, a city resident who for years has waged a campaign to clean up area streams, to its first meeting.

What Perceptions of Land Supply Tell Us in the Midst of Recovery
Perception of supply is currently shrinking by the day, forcing the projection (yes, inflation is back) of a better near-term future
By Greg Vogel
The first issue of Builder and Developer was a quarter century ago. That year was akin to 2010 of this recent real estate cycle. This magazine was built out of the wreckage of the 1988-1992 recession. The first leg of the financial debacle was the effect of the change in tax law in 1986 that eliminated lucrative tax shelters. It was quickly followed by the stock market crash on Black Monday October 13, 1987. The United States financial world was further rattled by the S&L crisis – the major growth markets where S&L financing was the fuel to borrow and build got hit exceptionally hard. In my home state of Arizona, all 11 of the S&Ls were taken over by the government, leading the formation of the Resolution Trust Corporation and hence the term we seasoned veterans (in business since 1988) label "The RTC Days."
The impact on the land market was near the same as 2008-2010. Liquidity trap, loans called, overbuilding aggravated by loss of jobs and population/jobs shifting away from the disaster zones. As the tide quickly rolled out, few if any had shorts or wallets to show. When the stock market crashed in 1987, I was 23 years old and had founded the Land Advisors Organization just 13 days prior to the stock market crash. Against all odds, this fledgling land company took hold and was born and grew not only in spite of this cataclysmic recession, but because of it. The decimation of the land market caused a huge shift of the control of land assets and a severe valuation adjustment occurred to clear the assets.
With a rare but positive belief a turnaround would occur, and a work ethic as if our lives depended on it (they did), we were able to establish a unique niche and became one of the largest local contractors for the RTC and banks selling their land holdings.
The current financial debacle was no different in impact to land developers and builders: crisis, liquidity trap, few wearing shorts (save those life-saving NOLs) when the tide rolled out. Having expanded the Land Advisors Organization into five markets by 2008, sales proceeded to drop off a cliff by 90 percent from just 3 years prior. The rocket ship we built was headed back to earth, and fast.
Think fast. Adrenaline pumping, breathe, think, get creative and resourceful—what happened last time? Would it happen again 20 years later? Should we run for cover and play defense, or put what nuts we've stored on the table and play offense? We chose the latter. It was a choice we knew required a national platform to serve the lenders coming into control of many billions in assets. Thus, we became determined to expand a land company that lost 90 percent of its revenue and was bleeding millions. Today, we are present in 23 markets and ready for the next phases of the cycle ahead.
Many of you that maintained a business through this recent storm resemble this story. What have we learned this time? I know a few things that remained the same: during the most difficult times, value creation occurs and, if you are not externally focused on the service and assistance of others, you become inwardly focused and that is the cause of most of the PTDS and depression that rains on many. You also learn more. You find out who people truly are when they become stressed and desperate. You find your allies and comrades in arms. You build strong and lasting relationships. You get very creative. You don't quit.
There is a theory established by Fred Oldvary—the "18 year real estate cycle." 1836, 1854, 1872, 1890, 1907, 1925 all represented peaks in land value followed by severe downturns. 1987 and 2005 marked recent peaks followed by severe adjustments. Many have a belief that the deeper the rut, the longer and stronger the recovery. That was surely true of the recovery and strength of the late 80s recession that recovered and generally grew until the eventual crash of 2008.
How is it different this time? We expect and deserve a robust recovery just like spring follows winter. This recovery has felt to many like a winter that will not fully end. In land and housing, we are seeing micro-sprints and certain geographies experiencing the spring like recovery. Think Texas, Northern Calif., coastal Calif., to-date. As you read this, the Carolinas, Ariz., Fla., and many other markets are beginning to experience a solid footing recovery. What we have yet to see, but are about to see, is the 1 million single-family housing starts that will make all of us in this industry feel like we have arrived in spring. The what-comes-first question is "1 million housing starts or over-3-percent GDP growth." The question will be answered. One makes the other.
Land has a more exaggerated dependence on sentiment than any other real estate asset classes. Land is peculiar as it fluctuates with what I have labeled the "shrinking and swelling of the perception of the supply of land." Think about 2005—all time shrink and every lot was spoken for, and every acre would be consumed all the way to the hinterlands. By 2008, the swell of the perspective of supply led to the analysis that the nation had a multi decade supply of finished lots. We have learned one thing the past few years: using current demand to measure long term supply at the depth of recession is a fool's errand.
While single-family starts have more than doubled since 2010, the supply of quality lots is now extremely scarce. Perception of supply is currently shrinking by the day. This is forcing the projection (yes, inflation is back) of a better near-term future. Requirement of an increased on-hand lot supply is growing due to each individual builder's growth plans. If we added up all the stated goals for starts of every builder, the total most definitely exceeds the market overall demand. This always translates to one builder exceeding their plan and others not meeting their plan.
We work from what we know. We know land is cyclical. We know what goes up must also come down. We know we cannot change the macro or cataclysmic events that occur. We may however be more watchful and thoughtful in reading the tea leaves. What we can also do is be prepared for the recovery and get very prepared for the future downturns.
This magazine has its own story of the cycles and the impacts they felt, as do each of you. Congratulations on making it through to the housing economy's spring just around the corner.
Greg Vogel is the CEO of Land Advisors
Organization. He may be reached at

Cormeen Rising Sons of William press release following the success of their 8th annual band procession, this year held in Armagh City:-
The Cormeen Rising Sons of William Flute Band sincerely thank all those who contributed to making their St Patrick's evening band procession in Armagh a success. Despite certain groups attempting to ratchet up tensions the evening passed off peacefully and a great display of music and colour was enjoyed by all.
The event started shortly after half past 7, stopping well before the 10.30pm finish time stipulated by the Parades Commission. In all 43 bands participated, with excellent crowds lining the procession route. In terms of active participants, the musicians, the evening actually surpassed the Dublin celebrations!
There were a number of minor public order incidents, as would be expected every St Patrick's Day, however the atmosphere within the City generally was very relaxed. Regretfully a hoax bomb intended to disrupt the band procession caused major disruption to the afternoon parade and to the City business community in what are difficult economic times. At all other times traffic moved freely with no significant disruption.
The band would very forcefully refute those who claim that the evening event was responsible for a negative effect on other festivities during the day. As planned, the evening parade took place over 3 hours after all other City Centre events had finished, with the sole disruption a direct result of those who have been making dire predictions and veiled threats of widescale public disorder.
The night has been a great triumph for tolerance and respect, and is a credit to the vast majority of the Nationalist community in the City. The majority of Irish Nationalists recognise the positive aspects of the Unionist community celebrating the life and legacy of Patrick, and appreciate the importance of ensuring that exclusion of cultural expression is no longer an acceptable way forward.
The band has already began planning for next years parade, scheduled for Saturday 16th March, and would appeal for all to come together well in advance to discuss and make use of the positive aspects of the evening for the City and local community. The way to ensure a shared future on this island is not via melding all our unique traditions into one large bland mass, but via respect and tolerance for each others very different approaches to cultural expression.

One of the aspects that had been the most difficult for me to deal with is the realization that I was fooled by my husband. Conned. I felt (and still feel) like a fool. In my latest for Huffington Post, I describe some of the lengths my ex went to as he crafted and covered his other life.
If my husband had been Pinocchio, his nose would have been a giant redwood. While we were married, I thought he was a real boy. Once he disappeared, I learned otherwise. Read more here.

I'm a little behind on my reading (and writing!) but Yes Pasaran has been hard at work finding awesome news so I'm reblogging a handful of his articles.
When activists held a public leafleting in Salem during the day, a group of non-whites tried to attack the activists, who repulsed the attack. North Front's correspondent was there and interviewed one of the activists.
During the day of February 1st, Fighting Groups 101 and 103 arranged a public leafleting in Salem. Several gangs of non-whites were already in the area before the Resistance activists started handing out flyers, and the atmosphere was tense from the beginning. But of course, nothing prevented the activists from carrying out the campaign and leaflets were divided diligently out to curious passersby most of whom sympathized with the message.
After about half an hour one of the non-whites milling around worked up the courage to confront one of the activists, and a heated discussion arose. The aliens then went away but after a while came back and urged activists to leave in a threatening manner. Their pathetic attempt to "run…

In a recent PC Pro report, network expert and contributing writer Steve Cassidy explained how virtualization has changed in the technology world.
As organizations look to upgrade their systems, using virtualization helps make the process easier. However, according to Cassidy and other experts, prospective products set to be virtualized are generally "intricate, hard to back up and restore, not too taxing on the hardware and fairly small if you're counting in gigabytes."
However, this has changed in recent years, as more systems have become suitable for virtualization and the performance of virtual machines has increased.
"It definitely is true nowadays that you can get 'more than 100 percent' by virtualizing a machine, largely because most of the candidates I see are pre-64-bit, and moving up to 64-bit is a massive leap forward in server performance," Cassidy wrote.
Since the technology has evolved in recent years, Ian Song, research analyst at IDC, said that desktop virtualization can also help companies meet the demands of consumerization of IT, according to a recent CIO report.

… that was basically all I knew of this proud nation before my visit. I like so many others have heard the stories of Lock Ness Monster, watched Braveheart (couple of times), read the Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon (and enjoyed the BBC series) and seen the many pictures of bagpipes, kilts and plated clothes. These were the images I had in my head before getting on the plane for a long weekend getaway to the nation's capital Edinburgh.
For this long weekend trip we only had four days to spend in Scotland and though you could easily use to explore Edinburgh we wanted the whole experience with some Highland adventures too. So after searching online we ended up booking two one-day trips outside of the city and spend the other two days wandering around Edinburgh.
So to start with two days in the city, what to see?!
On our first day we arrived with a morning flight so chose to just walk around the major sights and get feeling of the place. We started from the Castle heading down Royal mile, popping in to see the beautiful St. Giles Cathedral, enjoying the calm and peace of the old Canongate Kirk cemetery and finally before ending up to the Palace of Holyroodhouse walking past the modern, perhaps slightly out of place among all the old houses, the Scottish Parliament building.
From the Palace of Holyroodhouse we headed back up towards the center via Carlton road and climbing past the Scottish Government house to Carlton Hill. The view over the city and across to the waterfront in Leith was great.
Walking all day we ended up getting some cute and delicious cupcakes from Bibi's Bakery and getting some dinner from a Japanese restaurant close to our accommodation. I have to recommend both, the ramen was excellent as was the cookie monster cupcake for desert 😉 We stayed in Averon Guest House on Gilmore Place. It was really nice place built in an old 19th century house. The room included warm breakfast which was cooked each day from 8am onwards and each evening the owner performed old Scottish songs and stories in the breakfast lounge at 9 pm.
For our second day in the city we had still many things to do and see. We started early by heading to the castle (to avoid crowds) with many other tourists. We chose to take audio tour to learn some more of history of the place. It took us almost two hours to just walk around the castle, listen to the audio guide, see the Scottish crown jewels and visit the Prisons of war. I thought the most impressive part was to visit the Scottish National War Memorial to commemorate the lives lost in various conflicts. As it is a memorial no photography was allowed inside and I think this also brought the feeling of calm and peace inside the building as people were not trying to get the "perfect picture" but rather focused more on what they were seeing and listening (me included). Do not miss looking up in the Shrine to a large impressive figure of Archangel Michael hanging from the ceiling and the words "The souls of the righteous are in the hands of the God – There shall no evil happen, they are in peace" written across the wall.
From the castle we headed through the blooming Prices Street Gardens down the hill to a bus stop get a ride closer to the Royal Botanic Gardens. Weather was turning to more sunny so we thought it would be nice to be outside for a while. The gardens are well worth the visit even this early in the spring, though not so many flowers were blooming just yet. The entrance is free with the exception of visiting the Glasshouses (fee £6,50). We entered the park from West Entrance and headed first to the Queen Mother's Memorial Garden. It had a beautiful little hut which was entirely decorated with sea shells and pine cones inside.
Next we headed to the Glasshouses of which the oldest one, Tropical Palm House, was built already in 1834. There are 10 separate houses with each a different climate and variety of plants. We were really lucky as the rain shower for the day went over the gardens during our visit indoors. A calm walk through all the glasshouses took about 45 minutes.
I have always wanted to try the traditional afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches, just like in all the movies and books 🙂 We reserved a table from the Gateway restaurant at the West Entrance which offered a lovely afternoon tea setting with different salty and sweet treats. On our way out of the park we stopped for a while to admire the booming Yoshino cherry tree near the East Entrance.
For the evening we still had one more thing on our to do list, to climb to the Arthurs Seat to admire the view and sunset. Well scheduling is not our forte so we were a bit late getting again across town so instead of climbing the higher Arthurs Seat we decided to head for the peak (Salisbury Crags) closer to the road. The path starts next to the Place of Holyroodhouse. Do not take the stairs and path to the right unless you only want to climb to Arthur's Seat. Instead walk a bit on the paved road to the left and then the path up the hill. This will take directly to the edge of Salisbury Crags and then to a small valley where the stairs up to Arthur's Seat start. We did not follow this guide and headed up the stairs to the right so it took us a bit longer detour to get to the peak. The view was very nice over the center and also to the sea. However it was very windy on the top and a flashlight would have been nice coming down after sunset. Just to keep in mind for the next time 🙂

Thursday at the White House press briefing, press secretary Josh Earnest called the words of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) "duplicitous" when he was speaking about the delay on confirming Loretta Lynch as Eric Holder's replacement for attorney general.
Earnest was referring to Grassley saying last year that President Barack Obama should take his time and find a qualified candidate for attorney general, as opposed to today when the Iowa sentor told Bloomberg news that when complaining about the Republicans causing a long wait on the confirmation vote for Loretta Lynch, one cannot count November and December, when the Democrats were in charge.
When a reporter asked if calling a Republican senator "duplicitous" was the best way to move forward, Earnest shot back, "Being nice has gotten us a 160-day delay, so maybe after they look up 'duplicitous' in the dictionary, we will get a different result."

Grandparenting/ParentingHow many of us are having problems with seasonal allergies right now? In this house hold, I know we all are! Personally, I am on three prescriptions a day for allergies. My granddaughter just turned two so finally she is old enough to take something for her allergies. We tried using the "natural/organic" formulas. But, they were completely ineffective. I am a member of BzzAgent . They provide opportunities foe me to try products and services, in exchange for me sharing my honest opinions with people I know. About the time we had exhausted the natural alternatives, I was contacted by BzzAgent for an opportunity to try Children's Claritin. I accepted the invitation. BzzAgent sent us a free 2 oz. bottle and some $3 off coupons. We tried it and to our surprise. Children's Claritin (grape) has helped her so much. She is able to go preschool without having a runny nose and cough. Other parents even began to comment. I shared with them that she was taking Children's Claritin and that I was a member of BzzAgent. I offered them some of the $3 coupons. We have since bought 2 bottles of Children's Claritin. Side effects were a concern for us. However, we have not seen any. It has not made her sleepy or hyper.
10 Job Hunting Tips for Gen X'ers
After brainstorming with family and friends we came up with some ideas for staying on top your job search.
- Remove key age indicators from your resume, such as the year you graduated from college or high school and the time periods that you were employed.
- Give yourself a makeover. You'll feel better and it really can make a difference in the way people perceive you.
- Explore alternative ways to supplement your income. Freelancing. Online surveys. Contract work. Part-time job.
- Start a blog. It will help you appear current and tech savvy.
- Make sure all your social media presences are cleaned up and presentable so that you can make the best first impression WHEN a potential employer looks you up. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn (if you don't have one – get one), etc.
- Volunteer!
- Take a class! Either in person or online.
- Stay abreast of the goings on in your industry by reading or training.
- Send a thank you note to the interviewer.
- Stay positive!
While conducting this job odyssey it slowly began to dawn on me that EVERYTHING is tailored towards Millennials. The resume format, the job hints, and tips for a great interview and so on. There us nothing helpful out there for people my age (I'm 49). I surmise all the writers expect Baby Boomers and Generation X'ers to be settled in careers by now. There does appear to be some generic articles, but after reading them, its the same crap, different words. Also, a lot of what I am seeing are write-ups encouraging people to become entrepreneurs. While that's all well and good if you have a safety net or a nest egg to fall back on. Most people in the real world not, plus normal people don't have the capital to startup a business!
However, I am finding out there are others like me and for whatever reason are entering into another career later in life. We need to find a way to get they word out there, Maybe this blog is a start. I always try to be positive and look for the good in things. I keep thinking, the right opportunity just hasn't come my way yet!
My journey so far…
I started out thinking it was a good idea to change careers, so I went back back to school. I got dual Bachelor's degrees in Accounting and Management! Quite a feat considering I was volunteering in a retirement community and taking care of my preemie granddaughter. In there somewhere we moved and various other hiccups. At the time, the granddaughter was on monitors so there was no putting her in daycare. I stayed home with her and helped friends and family with their checkbooks, did taxes, and other assorted bookkeeping tasks. Fast forward to present day. Now she is two, healthy, happy and in preschool.
Now I'm past ready to hit the ground running, BUT, I can't get past the interview! I go about once a week to an interview. Everyone says they love the resume, it looks good education wise. HOWEVER, I just don't have hands on experience! Which I know. Every time it makes me wonder why they even brought me in. I know I can do the work, it's not hard. I just need someone, to give me a chance. Starting to think my age might have something to do with it. Although, most people think I'm my granddaughter's mom and not grandma. I don't think I look my age. Maybe they are afraid of the child commitment I have, I will still be her primary pickup and drop-off person. I don't know. Maybe a combination. I always have to explain the gap of non work where took care of everyone, but stayed busy.
Frustrating. Meanwhile student loan payments will come due before too long…Yay! Not!
Later y'all!

Haul: Memebox (Memebox #12)
One of my friends (shout out to Lia) got the Memebox #12 from Memebox this summer and volunteered to share what she got in her box. The two following pictures list the products included in the Memebox she received.
Product #1, the Ryo Anti-Hair Loss Treatment is similar to the product I received in my Luckybox #3 which is the Ryoe Jayang Yunmo Anti-hairloss Hair Pack. We both gave ours away and I gave mine to my dad. After my dad used it for about 3 weeks, I saw some hair poking out from the place on his head that was balding! So I guess it does work and encourages hair growth too.
I thought Product #2, the Banila Co. Claypatra Mineral Salt Clay Pack was interesting since the mud is from the Dead Sea. Sounds really special since the Dead Sea is famous for its therapeutic and healing properties. We wondered how a Korean company got permission to extract anything from there but that's another story.
Products #3 (Plagentra White Mark Cream) and #4 (Plagentra White Mark Lotion, Cream, Massage Gel) specializes in evening out the skin tone for stretch marks.
Product #5, the L.vida Nail Polish came in really cute packaging with a flower attached to the nail polish bottle. The color is vibrant but didn't get a chance to see the formula's thickness or how long it lasts.
Product #6, the Inter-cos Smooth Sensitive Removal Cream worked really well for my friend. She is of Mediterranean heritage (she claims she is hairier than the average East Asian individual), which makes her extremely happy with the results. She highly recommends this product!
Product #7, the Palan Crysence Organic Essence worked well for my friend too. She likes how soft her hair became after using it. She is also glad that it relaxed her hair, making it less frizzy in the humidity where we live.

The University of Maryland announced a new policy on Monday that will force all students to pay a fee for the continued enforcement of Title IX regulations pertaining to gender discrimination.
Students at the public University of Maryland will be forced to pay for the enforcement of federally mandated Title IX regulations, which aim to protect against gender discrimination on college campuses.
A.J. Pruitt, University of Maryland's student government association's vice president, claimed that the university's inability to fund the Title IX program is the sign of an administrative failure: "The university failed in their responsibility to fully fund this office."
"By putting in a proposal to add an additional fee — that's placing another financial burden on students. It's not something I'm excited about, but it gets us to fully funding the office in a short amount of time," Pruitt added.
University spokesperson Crystal Brown claimed that administrators were supportive of the student government's proposal to pass the fee for the enforcement of the federally mandated Title IX policy on to the students. "Students have proposed a new fee to provide this office additional revenue, but it has not yet been voted on, and not yet final. We are supportive of the Student Government Association's proposal which, if approved, will supplement the existing budget and is a show of support for the important mission of the Title IX office."
You can read more about the decision from the university's press release below:
On October 6, the University of Maryland Student Government Association (SGA) approved a measure to mandate a $17 fee per semester on all UMD students. The revenues raised from these mandatory payments will go exclusively to the university's Office of Civil Rights and Sexual Misconduct (OCRSM).
Claiming that her office does not receive enough funding from the UMD administration to properly carry out their Title IX obligations, Director Catherine A. Carroll applauded this student measure and is seeking for President Wallace Loh and the Board of Regents to approve and implement it.
Carroll's office has existed for two years now, and its budget has already increased from $643,000 the first year to $1.01 million the second.

The Vice Chancellor of KIU, Prof. Dr. Khalil said that it is a day to recall and appreciate the sacrifices of our great ancestors. Not only that, but also we need to follow the footsteps of those great heroes who gave us the identity of a nation. The Vice Chancellor extended tribute to the whole nation and said that Pakistan is a gift from our great leader Quaid e Azam and his companions and we have the responsibility to make our country stronger by maintaining and upholding this gift with honesty and sincerity.
It is also worthy to mention that the entire University campus was illuminated since the previous night and that really presented a picture of happiness, strength and pride.

Stephanie Broadribb and Glenn Dimelow,Director of Best Companies
The Open University is the highest ranking Higher Education institution in the 2010 Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For in the Public Sector list, which was published yesterday (Sunday 14 March). Placed in the list at number 7, the OU is ranked higher than any other public sector organisation for the categories 'giving something back' and 'fair deal'. It also ranks third in the 'my company' factor, which measures how staff feel about their employer and work ethos.
Nigel Holt, Director of HR at the OU, said: "We decided to take part in the survey because we see real value in benchmarking ourselves against the best organisations in the UK. The Sunday Times surveyed members of staff at Walton Hall, national and regional centres. I am delighted that our staff participated in this and led to us being nominated for the award. The success of the University is due to our outstanding employees."
The survey also found that OU employees appreciate the positive impact the University has on society, and don't feel it supports just causes just to generate good publicity – in both of these criteria, the OU had top-ranking scores.
The University is listed on the Best Companies Accreditation website with one star , and is one of just 410 organisations to be awarded accreditation from Best Companies.

Specimen CT Scanner
The Explore Locus SP pre-clinical Specimen Scanner (GE Medical Systems, London Ontario) is a specimen-dedicated cone-beam volume CT system which uses a tungsten source X-ray tube operating at 80 kV and 80 microamperes.
In this scanner, objects are rotated in 1.0-degree increments on a holder between the X-Ray source and CCD-based detector.
Typical scans generate eight to 28 mm isotropic voxels and require two to six hours for data acquisition. The scanner is designed to non-destructively acquire high-resolution 3D images of ex vivo specimens, ranging in size from 1 to 30 mm in diameter.
The SP CT is suited for characterization of the gross structure of bones of the rodent skeleton. Trabecular characterization (thickness, separation, number) is also possible for the bones of small animals or in large animal or clinical bone core samples. The system is also capable of bone mineral density assessment.
Geometric models (.vtk, .stl, other) can be produced by the system for applications such as finite element modeling.

The book-as-baby analogy, birth as a metaphor for publishing a novel, is just a little too pat. Some talented folks who write diligently each day can conceive of and pop out a book annually. And when I grow up, I aspire to do that too, to write for three hours a day, every day. But that doesn't seem possible right now. I wear too many hats, and the truth is I enjoy it. I'm not good at saying no or making the outside world go away.
Me? The author? I'm more the elephant model of gestation. Elephants take 22 months to give birth. The alpine salamander has a three-year pregnancy and the frilled shark is 3.5 years. That was certainly more akin to my style in creating this first novel. The goal is to get a little faster.
On September 11th, "Those We Love Most" will come out. This process, about as long as the Spiny Dog Fish takes to reproduce, has been roughly three years in the making.
Over the past few months I've been toying with how to describe my book in a few sentences. Here is what I have so far…… "Those We Love Most" is about generations in a family, the seasons of a marriage, and whether or not a relationship can survive secrets. It deals with how one moment of inattention can result in paying the ultimate price. In the story, as so often in life, everyone is both right and wrong. What endures is faith in the people we love despite their loyalties or betrayals. Ultimately it is a love story, love of family, spouse, lover, friend and even stranger. And it's about forgiveness and resilience, the getting through it. Most all of us can relate in some form.
Recently, I read about a survey that claimed during these tipsy economic times, people want to read stories about fantasy, happy endings and sex. And I understand the "take me away Calgon" effect of imagining yourself bound and gagged with silk Hermes scarves. I get that escaping into a fight-to–the-death nihilistic futuristic world might remove us from the reality of the mortgage, the potential for job loss, the stale marriage or life's paper cuts of disappointment. But I tend to be drawn to stories about real life and the complexities of human emotions. I enjoy reading all kinds of genres but I love discovering a book that details how we move through and overcome the hard things life can throw at us to find lessons and community and resuscitation.
It's these stories that connect us as human beings. They are the ones that make us say "ahh, me too" or "if they can do it so can I" or even "look how much worse I could have had it."
I love the fiction of Anna Quindlen, Sue Miller, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Ann Hood or Sue Monk Kidd with their searing autopsies of interior lives. The authentic dialogue of Adriana Trigiani's generational characters brings them to life. I hated coming to the end of "Little Bee" and "The Namesake," nodded my head with Annie Lamott's honest memoirs and marveled at Ann Patchett's prose and intricately woven tales. The characters in the fiction of Lionel Shriver, Ian McEwan and Jonathan Franzen stayed with me for days.
"Those We Love Most" grew out of a real-life experience. I was out of town and a friend called me in a panic. I can still picture that hotel room I was in all these years later. A seventeen-year-old driver in her town had struck a child, and she wanted to know if I would talk to the parents and provide some hope based on my own family's experiences. After I hung up, I kept thinking about that one pivotal "in-an-instant" moment and all the lives that had been affected by a split-second action. That call formed the basis for a fictional story about how one pebble dropped in a pond ripples out in many directions.
The intricacies within families—the secrets people hold, the love that ebbs and flows in marriages and relationships, and the bond between a parent and child—are themes all of us can relate to. The business of living is chock-full of so many extremes, and while there are parts of my book that deal with sadness, real life is defined by a bubbling stew of love and loss, joy and sorrow, betrayal, triumph, and achievement.
I wanted to examine the process of life coming unglued and then look at all the strengths and the wonderful qualities that lie within us to do the right thing for the ones we love most.
There are a few months before I give birth. I'm getting the nest ready, booking engagements for the fall and preparing to usher this new project onto the stage. I hope like hell people want to read it. And I look forward to sharing it with you. I hope I have the opportunity to cross paths with you on this birthing journey in one manner or another.
Stay posted for the next installment about "Those We Love Most." I'll be dishing about the cover selection process and how it feels a little like picking the outfit you will be buried in.

I am hooked! Can't wait to read it…you pretty much described all the things I have gone through recently relationship-wise and I am always looking for books that can help me understand it better.
Looking forward to hearing more about the process of book birthing.
LizApril 26, 2012 at 4:06 pm
Oh, Lee! "Searing autopsies of interior lives." It's not possible for me to be more in love with your post.
Loving just the description of your novel as I do surely means I'm going to freak over your book. Clearly this work of fiction has affected you differently than your other books may have.
I simply adore your writing – and love that your book drops on September 11th.
Good on ya, Lee!
Andrea StahlmanApril 26, 2012 at 4:11 pm
Lee – have your ever blogged about your "process" – how you get started and get the book written? i have a novel (based on my grandmothers life) in my head.. but CANNOT seem to get it out 🙂
RebeccaApril 26, 2012 at 4:26 pm
I can't wait, Lee!! Do keep us posted!
ElizabethApril 27, 2012 at 12:31 am
This was a great post-I too am drawn to real life circumstances. I think that we are looking to see if someone has been through a circumstance similiar to our own-even if it is a work of fiction. Just feeling you are not alone in life, that others have been through the same and came out the other side is encouraging. Thank you for your post!! I am looking forward to your new book.
carrie barronMay 4, 2012 at 2:33 pm
This sounds wonderful Lee. I love the emotional honesty and look forward to finding out more.
Louise MathewsonMay 6, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Lee, I loved reading this post! I can hardly wait to read your book. Of course, I did read "in an Instant" – with a brain injury how could I not! It was awesome! You write with such feeling, using metaphors and language that I savor like chocolate! Now I have to read your 2nd book "Perfectly Imperfect" because somehow I missed that one! You have such a gift with words!

PODCAST SHOW | If you think finding love is all down to fate...then think again/
This week we've opened up the juicy topic of fate. Is finding a loving partner really all down to fate?
We don't think so.
In fact we reckon that if you're putting your love-life in the hands of fate, then that could be the very reason why you're not finding it.
So in this week's podcast we decided to put fate into the hot seat, challenge the very notion of love as being something that is magically bestowed upon us...or not...by the mysterious hand of fate and instead show you what you can do to take your love-life out of the hands of fate and back into your own hands.
Or as Vicki put it 'grab your love-life by the balls'.
So hit play and listen in, or download from Soundcloud and let us know what YOU think. Is finding love down to fate or not?
x Selina & Vicki

Yo-Good is not your typical frozen yogurt shop. It offers a delicious and healthy combination of non-fat frozen yogurt with a dazzling variety of fresh toppings. Their delicious flavor does not come from artificial sweeteners, but from the natural goodness of the fruits and berries arrayed in our toppings bar. Customers can choose their own combinations and explore new flavor sensations during every visit they make to Yo-Good.
"Yo-Good is Yummy!" That's what Yo-Good has heard many times. More than just a frozen yogurt shop, Yo-Good offers some of the most delicious crepes and waffles you've ever tasted. But people don't come to Yo-Good just for the food. Its berry-flavored coffee, healthy smoothies made with non-fat frozen yogurt, and iced tea keep its customers coming back.
A frozen yogurt store is an excellent alternative to traditional ice cream shops, which have arguably over-saturated the market. What's more, Yo-Good perfectly combines "yogurt" and "good" in its title, which reinforces the consumer acceptance that yogurt is a beneficial part of our diet.
Yo-Good is a growing business segment with operations in many countries. There is a huge demand for fresh food alternatives to unhealthy fast food, and Yo-Good is the answer. With Yo-Good you get a business which offers what customers are demanding more and more – healthy food. Our menu dishes are easy to prepare and will provide immediate returns on your investment.
Yo-Good Awards:
Consider starting a frozen yogurt business and own one of the most in-demand businesses today. Yo-Good's secret to success is simple: a complete menu of delicious and healthy products, flexible store configurations, choice locations, and unparalleled support for their Franchise Partners.
If you would like to know more about the Yo-Good opportunity in Pakistan then simply fill in the details in the inquiry form above, or call us on 042-35793156.

text: I found Trevor to be communicative throughout the process. He is a very clean carpenter and went the extra mile to caulk around the edges and in places that weren't out in the open. His detail didn't go unnoticed upon inspecting the work. He even provided some recommendations I hadn't previously thought of. Trevor is a true professional, and one of the better remodeling contractor's I've seen in Whatcom County. I plan to hire him again on future remodeling projects.

Are You Familiar on the Newest Droid Phone by Motorola?
By Jason Main
Earlier the year, Motorola presented the hottest gadget in cellular technology. According to the maker, this particular mobile phone has the capacity to put rest of the leading phones in the market to shame. There are some words on the street that this phone has been introduced to compete with the leading brand in terms of applications, functions, features and most notably, overcoming the shortcomings of the rivals.
The Droid is the phone that has been thought to be the ultimate "thing" in the techie world these days. It uses the Android, which has been developed completely by Google to supply the operating software. With all the rave that eager techies all over the world has been doing as they await the availability of this phone in to the market, they have sought for a Free Motorola droid offer anywhere they sense they can locate it.
The world-wide-web is a very big place. Even internet savvy persons can find themselves puzzled in this world. Embarking on a mission to get any Free Motorola droid offer can be a reasonably tricky task. To some, this can be considered as a misuse of time and energy as they deem that it is simply unfeasible for a store or site to just hand these out for free. While this may look like a conscious notion, there are some websites that actually deliver this kind of promise. There are some that will request you to send your old phone in exchange for the brand new Droid. However, these are very difficult to find. A more viable thought is to find one that will offer you a massive price slash on the Droid if you give them your old cellular phone.
There are also some web sites that would frequently take advantage of a person's yearning for a specific product such as the Droid. They will turn this item into what appears like a door prize. You would either require to join their program and do, as the site requires you to function for you to get this prize. Most often situations would be those that will invite you to join their "team" and recruit other individuals to join in the fun and excitement as well. Each of your referrals corresponds to a particular quantity of points. As you go on on referring people in, you will in the long run have sufficient points in your profile for you to be eligible for the free droid phone.
A number of internet pages on the other hand will tell you to give a few simple pieces of personal information such as your name, email address, location, gender and in some cases your hobbies, interests, occupation and the like. You will then get an email telling you that you can obtain a brand new phone for free if you take part in their easy surveys. The questions are often easy to understand and answer. They may use the information that you supply as part of their business or as a means to feed required data for another. Nonetheless, there is no mischief in answering a few questions when you have some time in your hands – particularly if it means that you will win something cool in return.

Vanguard's digital advice platform has reached new heights, extending its sheer domination of the robo advice space.
The firm's hybrid advice offering, Personal Advisor Services, is now at $83 billion in assets under management, according to the firm, putting it in position to be the first digital platform to cross $100 billion.
While independent platforms including Betterment and Personal Capital have touted their AUM and new rounds of fundraising, the online advice outpost of Malvern, Pennsylvania-based Vanguard has crossed its asset milestones with virtually no fanfare.
It has set a remarkable growth trajectory and has maintained its asset lead over other digital offerings. Since the first quarter of the year, the platform's assets have experienced a 66% growth increase.
Even during its pilot phase with no paid advertising support, assets for Personal Adviser Services rose from $755 million in 2013 to $10.1 billion at the time of its launch in 2015.
To keep up with demand, the firm is adding CFPs to staff call centers serving the hybrid platform's clients in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Charlotte, North Carolina.
The dominance of the hybrid advice, which many industry observers say was modeled on Personal Capital's approach, has prompted other digital competitors to pivot to the model, including Betterment and Schwab.
The AUM for Vanguard Personal Adviser Services has been corrected to reflect its current total of $83 billion.

Must Read Books for Teachers
Education is something we're deeply passionate about, but the fact remains that today's dominant formal education model is a broken system based on antiquated paradigms. While much has been said and written about education reform over the past couple of years, the issue and the public discourse around it are hardly new phenomena. Today, we round up the most compelling and visionary reading on reinventing education from the past century...For more details visit: www.brainpickings.org
