I drank.
I drank. For a few days, last week. I'm sober now, and kinda pretty much ok. More later. Just checking in, as I am sure all both my loyal readers have been waiting with bated breath. Uh oh..will I change the blog name? Hm. I'm thinking no….
eventual recovery
"Time is not a tool" is an often quoted AA saying, one I agree with strongly — but it is also true that the last thirty days of my life are substantively different than the first thirty days of my sobriety. My thought being that while long term sobriety is not a benchmark of mental or spiritual health, the point is to get and stay sober, not get sober over and over and over again — time is not a tool, but it should not be dismissed either. Its a bit of a paradox, I guess.
via Mr. SponsorPants: it makes me optimistic for their eventual recovery.
Here's the deal: I have been "in and out" a whole lot, which means that I have been in and out a whole lot . While this particular feature of my self has had an impact on my external life, far more important and more difficult to….let's say "apprehend," is its life in me. It won't stop being true no matter how long I stay sober. As opined above and elsewhere, it doesn't matter if one has 8 years or two weeks sober, in terms of validity of sobriety, ability to be of value, likelihood to get drunk….and yet, it does. It so very does.
Sponsor R pointed out to me (I paraphrase) that the alcoholic part of us and our thinking is not bolted on to our heads as an optional accessory, but is a part of our conscious and unconscious self as much as gender or race. It informs everything, even when it doesn't.
A challenge for me has been to come to respect myself in spite of my background, in spite of how endlessly I've surrendered only to un-surrender. I've never been able to truly internalize the idea that I have nothing to be ashamed of and I am not faulty or "a freak among freaks," stigmatized, an object lesson.
After having years of freedom from drugs and alcohol as well, the hopeless relapser feeling joins a faithful certitude in a strange blend of capable inadequacy.
A.A. History: The Detroit Pamphlet, Discussion No. 1
Why Does An Alcoholic Drink?
Many times one cannot determine any great and glaring mechanism as the basis of why the drinker drinks, but the revealing fact may be elicited:
That alcohol is taken to relieve a certain vague restlessness in the individual, incident to friction between his biological and emotional makeup and the ordinary strains of life.
…. Where the individuality or personality of the alcoholic is concerned these reasons may be divided as follows:
- A self-pampering tendency which manifests itself in refusal to tolerate, even temporarily, unpleasant states of mind such as boredom, sorrow, anger, disappointment, worry, depression, dissatisfaction, and feelings of inferiority and inadequacy.
- "I want what I want when I want it" seems to express the attitude of many alcoholics toward life.
- An instinctive urge for self-expression, unaccompanied by determination to translate the urge into creative action.
- An abnormal craving for emotional experience which calls for removal of intellectual restraint.
- Powerful hidden ambitions, without the necessary resolve to take practical steps to attain them, and with resultant discontent, irritability, depression, disgruntledness, and general restlessness.
- A tendency to flinch from the worries of life and to seek escape from reality by the easiest means available.
- An unreasonable demand for continuous happiness or excitement.
- An insistent craving for the feeling of self-confidence, calm, and poise that some obtain temporarily from alcohol.
via A.A. History: The Detroit Pamphlet, Discussion No. 1.
Well that's just about the most accurate sounding thing I've ever read. This is, as indicated, taken from Discussion Number 1: The Admission outline in the old-school Detroit Pamphlet, a.k.a. "The Tablemate." According to what I've read about it, groups that used this guide for a year had a much higher-than average long-term (1 yr +) sobriety rate. So of course I'm reviewing it. Hard not to read the above and think, since I agree, "damn what a shitbag loser I am." So I think that and all kinds of other things such as "what a trip I have this alcoholic incarnation destiny to work through and so did/do all these other folks." I try to watch all the thoughts go by like little cats and come back to the moment and see if I can apply it. (Try.)
I 100% concede the above. I don't even have to think about it. One thing that not been part of my burden is a doubt I am "alcoholic." I mean, even if I'mnot, drinking has controlled and ruined huge chunks of my life for 30 years, so what difference does the label make? "My name is xty and I'm an umbrella." Same outcome.
Nonetheless, I do go insane and think I might accidentally have some control "this time." If I consciously think at all. (We'll come back to that another time.) I've done this millions of times. I retract my step 1-ness. "Discontent, irritability, depression, disgruntledness, and general restlessness:" that's for sure. Okay, enough problem. Here's what's next:
If after carefully considering the foregoing, we admit we are alcoholics, we must realize that, once a person becomes a pathological drinker, he can never again become a controlled drinker, and from that point on, is limited to just two alternatives:
- Total permanent abstinence.
- Chronic alcoholism with all of the handicaps and penalties it implies.
In other words, we have gone past the point where we had a choice. All we have left is a decision to make.
Sure. I'm still one the same page, drinking the same kool-aid, hook line and sinker, with complete abandon, a real yes-man. Total abstinence – there are many reasons I am certain I'm clear on this — doesn't mean I can do it,; then it would be: Step 1: Quit drinking. Step 2: Get on with your life. My most immediate example for myself on this certainty is my reaction to a blog I came across last night, again here on wordpress.com via tag search. I was tempted to add it to my blogroll with the link "Doomed;" I was tempted to post a comment stating "Dude, you are so fucked." It is the journal of a self-identified alcoholic who evidently has tried AA and SMART Recovery and hates them, and is documenting his progress and tribulations as he evolves a controlled drinking regimen. Mind you, controlled, but in hiding from his family (water bottle in the basement with a daily ration; peanut butter as the best breath cover) and is one thousand percent obsessed all day every day with when he can drink, how much, how much is in the house, ad infinitum. My reaction was: absolutely chilled. Amazement and voluminous gratitude I am not in that torture chamber of a lifestyle. My mind was bent, I couldn't understand why this guy couldn't see what I see. That tell me that viscerally I know it's all or nothing. Let's just say I have this part of step one nailed.
We resolve to do something about it.
- We must change our way of thinking. (This is such an important matter that it will have to be discussed more fully in a later discussion).
- We must realize that each morning when we wake, we are potential drunkards for that day.
- We resolve that we will practice A.A. for the 24 hours of that day.
- We must study the other eleven steps of the program and practice each and every one.
- Attend the regular group meeting each week without fail.
- Firmly believe that by practicing A.A. faithfully each day, we will achieve sobriety.
- Believe that we can be free from alcohol as a problem.
- Contact another member before taking a drink, not after. Tell him what bothers you – – talk it over with him freely.
- Work the program for ourselves alone – – not for our wife, children, friends, or for our job.
- Be absolutely honest and sincere.
- Be fully openminded – – no mental reservations.
- Be fully willing to work the program. Nothing good in life comes without work.
Reading this list, I think "Ok: Hey, I can't do that; got it; got it; got it got it; whoops; usually; got it; got it; sure; oh shit!; which program? And, fully? Do I have to hold that , right there, don't move? Am I going to die drunk if I am pretty damn willing, but not fully? I have reservations. About the steps – about whether God as I understand God is really just waiting for me to ask Him to edit me, to intervene in thoughts, relationships, and events. Whether God as I understand God works that way, or, even if He does, if that is the best way for me to work with Him. Know what I'm fully willing to do? Try. With my misshapen beliefs, self-deception, curtain-flapping mind, guarded willingness, absentminded resolve…..my concern is that if I wait until the list above describes my state of mind exactly, I will have already died.
take two
Take two on the blog. Since the last post I went back into detox and through treatment again at the same facility. (That would be take, I don't know, 45?) This, then is the entry where I come back and point out how amazing it is that I can write about how glad I am I'm not in a treatment center and run myself right back into one less than 2 months later.
My inclination is to skip all details, or outline everything in a ridiculous post, and I think erring on the conservative side seems right in this case. Relapse is familiar ground, part of the process, etc. This is simply the icebreaker entry that I have been putting off, so I can maybe get back to it.
I often think it's pointless to codify all this mental self-absorption, anecdotes, theories really, becasue it's all transient and really because I can't prove it ever mattered or ever will. It's all transient and it may just be completely irrelevant if I understand anything that's ever happened. (Except, of course, The Great War.) I'm going to do it anyway as a sponsor (1 of 2; they are named R and S) suggested it after observing my writing can make sense from time to time, whereas I talk in circles most of the time.
craving The National
"Once ruined, baby, you stay ruined" – The National, John's Star
Listening to The National creates the desire to drink in me. I'm wondering how detailed to get here, and deciding to drop that so I don't want a gin and tonic. It is, after all, Sunday morning, more perfect for drinking than Saturday night in my mind. Cravings can color a whole day or just slip in and out of a second like a mean but sexy cat, dancing.
I discovered the band while perusing pitchfork at a bar/restaurant in P-Town, overlooking the water and awaiting my new girlfriend, whom I'd met while enjoying my first beer in over 6 years the night before. (And she was, immediately, my girlfriend.) So, they are colored by that and having been a 2 year soundtrack to drinking. Even though I played them when I wasn't actively imbibing, drinking was part of who I was during those years. Another recently discovered band, Rock Plaza Central, has no associations for me and I can be totally present listening to them.
There is no other music like The National, quintessentially 21st century and American, charismatic and not a little alcohol soaked. They are fucking cool and great; c'mon, their website is called American Mary, how cool is that?
My choice, then, of late, has been to listen to them selectively and not allow my mind to feed any alcohol leanings and see how it feels. So many of my favorite lyrics, I crave that too. Maybe I can rebuild this relationship. Yet I realize they may be ruined for me, just like gin and tonic, something else to miss sometimes, but for a greater good.

DC SUPER HERO GIRLS Announced for Cartoon Network
Whilst Warner Brothers' big screen DC adventures may have had their share of issues in recent years, the small screen DC-driven outings have proven far more successful. And now, Warner Bros. Animation has announced a new animated series called DC Super Hero Girls.
Described as an "all-new animated action-comedy series", the show will be heading to Cartoon Network in 2018. Emmy Award-winning producer Lauren Faust is working on fresh character designs and stories for the show.
The official press release on this news reads:
The world may know them as Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl, but not-so-typical teenagers Diana, Kara and Barbara, alongside their Super Hero friends have much more to deal with than just protecting the citizens of Metropolis from some of the most sinister school-aged Super-Villains of the DC Universe. After all, being teens is tough enough, what with school, friends, family and the chaos that comes with managing a social life. But add super-powers and a secret identity to the mix, and things can get a lot more complicated.
Sure, gal pals Bumblebee, Zatanna and Green Lantern Jessica Cruz are always there to lend an ear, a shoulder to cry on, and a fist to punch with, and their bros in the Justice League amp up the fun whether they're at a concert or taking down a crime ring. But what happens when Diana and her favorite study buddy and fencing partner, Tatsu, can't agree on how to dole out justice as Wonder Woman and Katana? Or when Barbara finds out her Gotham-Con bestie is teen-fiend Harley Quinn? Along with all their friends, foes and frenemies, this squad of super teens navigates the unique growing pains that come when you're a teenager trying to fight the battles of the world and the battles of growing up at the same time.
The new series is a global initiative with Cartoon Network and builds on the successful DC Super Hero Girls direct-to-video movies as well as digital webisodes launched in 2015 and viewed by millions of fans on the DC Super Hero Girls YouTube channel, as well as the DC Super Hero Girls mobile app.
Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!, Justice League Action) serves as executive producer.
In partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, the DC Super Hero Girls franchise provides kids with a relatable world filled with aspirational characters, immersive stories and action-packed missions that inspire viewers to be smart, courageous and empowered to be an everyday Super Hero. Centered around the most renowned DC Super Heroes (Supergirl, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Bumblebee) and Super-Villains (Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Poison Ivy) as they learn to develop and harness their superpowers, work as a team and strengthen their friendships, while still getting their homework done on time.
DC Super Hero Girls is an all-encompassing universe based on the well-known DC characters. DC Super Hero Girls encourages kids to discover their own super-heroic potential with new animated content, including webisodes, TV specials, and made-for-video movies; as well as a merchandise program across toys (including action figures and action dolls), costumes and role play, apparel and accessories, publishing and many other categories, and supported by best-in-class partners including Mattel, LEGO, Rubie's Costumes, Jerry Leigh, and Random House, among many others.Expect more on DC Super Hero Girls as it develops.

Fahrenheit 451 help with homework
- Symbols are very important in Fahrenheit 451. Name three specific symbols and outline their references and meanings throughout the novel.
- Discuss the complexities of Bradbury's message. Is he against all forms of censorship? Do you think a society such as this could ever truly exist? What aspects of this society does Bradbury appear to detest the most?
- Compare and contrast Mildred and Clarisse. How did each woman come to exist? What roles do they play in society? Can either truly survive
- Discuss the role of nature in Fahrenheit 451, with specific references to animals and water.
- Follow Montag's ideological progression. Where does it truly begin and what are the most important instances that spur its growth?

What to do with all the Halloween CandyDr. Bill Thompson | October 31, 2011
Going door to door in Grandview Heights, Ohio to collect candy on trick or treat night is as much a part of the fun Halloween tradition as dressing up in a favorite costume, going to Halloween parties, carving pumpkins and watching scary movies. But after beggars night is over and your youngster has a huge cache of candy to be dealt with, what is the wholesome healthy thing to do with the candy?
In researching this dilemma, I found an article by a dietitian whose husband is a dentist and what she had to say makes sense. " We wanted our children to experience this kids' tradition to the fullest…and that included candy. Sure, there are substitutes that kids like – stickers, small plastic toys, bubbles. One year a dental colleague gave out Flintstone toothbrushes that were a big hit! But in no way do these items negate the allure of candy. My advice to parents is just relax…lighten up…and use a touch of common sense. Indulging in candy treats on this one special night (and maybe a handful of days after) is not going to condemn a child to a life sentence of sugar addiction. The more focus you put on forbidding children to have candy, the stronger their desire to have it."
So when your child is sitting there with 5, 10 or more pounds of candy, is it prudent to let them consume it all? Probably not. So after some nutritional education that goes something like: "Suzie" or "Sammy, it just isn't good for your body to consume 10 pounds of fat and sugar in a short period of time, so let's figure out which are your favorites and agree on how much you should keep". My experience has been that out of all the candy that's in the beggars night haul, most are not "gotta have it" items. Narrowing the candy down to ten or fifteen pieces over the next few days should not be a huge deal. In the end, they get to dress up, trick or treat, and indulge in their Halloween candy within acceptable limits.
So what to do with the rest of the candy? One option is donating the candy to the troops overseas. They like the candy and also hand it out to the children that they interact with. The contact information is www.operationgratitude.com . A Wall Street Journal article suggested food pantries and shelters as possible places to donate, but be sure to call ahead to be sure candy donations are being accepted.

Ship: "Suprise Bean", Jaguar Class Assault Ship
Location: Arnon
At the coordinates where they pinpointed the hive i found that mysterious drone again – together with a bunch of smaller – known- rogue drones.
While i got engaged by those the mysterious drone escaped using an ancient acceleration gate to some deadspace pocket.
I pushed my ship to the gate, following as fast as i could, just to find myself in the same situation again.
Smaller drones attacking me, mistery-drone escaping through an ancient gate.. so i followed.. again.
In the next deadspace pocket there where several rogue drones, including the mysterious one, and some ship that my bordcomputer was unable to identify – right before the mysterious drone and the ship disappeared i got a transmission by that ship stating "you will never find the secret of the rogue drones".
I managed to shoot down a few more drones before all of them disappeared, and got called back to the Station by Sister Alitura then.
When i came back to the Station Sister Alitura revealed that the pilot of the mysterious ship must have been Manthem Dagan, who not only owned the damsel but according to her is a know terrorist. Since i reported that name to her before, after i got it from Tevis Jak, im a bit pissed about here information policy. I knew that Concord guy was keeping important information from me, but i was hoping she would give me what i need todo the job.
Well, she revealed that she knows hes heading to minmatar space now and wants me to go there to meet up with Keita Eslin who shall help me to track down Dagan. Then she said a few things about minmatar space which pretty much show some latent racism in her – maybe its not only a problem with capsuleers that makes her so unpleasant.
Either way, time to get on my way to Hek.
End of Log,
Captain Corbulo

Before you choose an air conditioner (AC), first thing you need to do is to understand your room in terms of average people using them at a time, electrical equipment, furniture & appliances that are part of the room. A living room will be occupied by more number of people on an average & will probably have more appliances that may comparatively more emit heat. So, you'll be better off with higher capacity AC in a similar sized living room than a bed room, which probably will be occupied with in the evening & night hours.
Exposure to direct sunlight is also another important factor for air conditioning. If you plan to use AC in a room that is exposed to direct sunlight, then the AC will have to put in more effort. Also, ceilings that are exposed to direct sunlight heat more resulting in higher ambient temperature & thus require higher capacity AC.
Split and Window ACs
Residential air conditioners are widely available in 2 physical forms - split & window.
- Split ACs are made up of two parts - outdoor unit & indoor unit. As the moving parts like compressor along with condenser are outside the room (outdoor unit) split ACs are more silent compared to window ACs.
- While window ACs are great for smaller rooms, Split ACs have following advantages: quicker cooling, easier installation, lesser noise, more suitable for rooms with lesser ventilation, energy efficient operation & ease of service.
- Considering these advantages, its recommended to opt for split AC unless space for installing outdoor unit is a constraint.
Non-Inverter & Inverter ACs
Split ACs are available with fixed speed compressors and variable speed compressors (widely known as inverter ACs). In fixed speed compressor or regular AC, the compressor is either off or on. When it is on, it works at full capacity and consumes full electricity it is designed to consume.
When the thermostat reaches the temperature level set in the AC, the compressor stops and the fan in AC continues to operate. When the thermostat senses that the temperature has increased, the compressor starts again. The variable speed compressors in InverterAC on theotherhandhasabilitytoworkon variable speed. Hence it can meet the fluctuation in power demands.
When inverter compressor needs more power; it gives it more power. When it needs less power, it gives less power. With this technology, the compressor isalwayson,butdraws less power or more power depending on the temperature of the incoming air and the level set in the thermostat. The speed and power of thecompressorisadjustedappropriately.
Average daily usage shouldgovernselectionofeither fixed speed compressor AC or Inverter AC. if you plan to use ACforshorterdurationapproximately 3 hrs a day, 4 to 5 months a year you can opt for fixed speed compressor AC. If you plan to use AC for more hours daily than this or throughout the year, you should then consider investing in inverter AC.
Copper & Aluminium PFC Condenser
The material used for condenser coils used in AC affects their efficiency, their ease of cleaning and maintenance. Two types of condenser coils are used inACs -copperandaluminium.
Pros and Cons of both these condensers are:
It's important to look for corrosion protective coating applied on condenser and higher warranty on condenser.
AC Tonnage = Length X Width X Height in feet
For example, if a room is 10 feet in length; 8 feet wide and 10 feet high, then - 10 X 8 X 10 / 1000 = 0.8. Hence recommended AC would of 1 Ton capacity.
However, you also need to consider capacity increment of approximately 0.5 Tr if any of the following conditions are also applicable for the room:
- Room has more than 2 windows or a bigger / full-sized window
- The ambient temperature of exceeds 38 degree celcius
- The room is situated on or above 3rd floor
- The room is on top-most floor or terrace is directly above the room
- Bureau of Energy Efficiency Ministry of Power - Government of India has started standards and labeling program with the objective of consumer an informed choice about the energy saving and thereby the cost saving potential of the marketed household and other equipment
- This is expected to impact the energy savings in the medium and long run while at the same time it will position domestic industry to compete in such markets where norms for energy efficiency are mandatory.
Note that, the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is calculated with the same indoor temperature but over a range of outside temperatures from 21-degree celsius - 35-degree celsius. It is used in European climate, not representative of Indian Climate and hence not the BEE approved the measure.
- Refrigerant is a fluid, gas that runs through condenser coils & compressor of an AC & takes out heat from room and disposes it in the atmosphere. There are various types are refrigerants available and are being used in ACs basis of their thermodynamic properties.
- The most common refrigerant in the past was a CFC like R-12. In the 1990s and 2000s, the CFCs were replaced with hydrochlorofluorocarbon and the most common HCFC refrigerant being R22. More than 50 percent of Air Conditioners in India still use HCFCs. However, HCFCs are just marginally better than CFCs as they contain chlorine, which is harmful for the environment. As per Indian Government's plan, HCFCs will be phased out from India by the year 2030.
- HFC refrigerants like R-410A and R32 are ozone friendly that is they don't deplete the ozone layer however they still have global warming potential. India has also embraced HFC phase-out under Montreal Protocol.
- Hydrocarbons or HC refrigerants like R290 are the most environmental friendly refrigerants available as of now and are completely halogen free, have no ozone depletion potential and are lowest in terms of global warming potential.

I talk a great deal about the story of our stuff – mostly in the context of the guilt I feel every time I buy a t-shirt made in China. It's not news that much of the stuff we purchase in any Target, Walmart, or department store is very likely at the hands of unjust systems where these stores trade with companies overseas that have been known to employ children, pay their workers an incredibly low wage, and treat their workers with hostility. Now, it is also likely that this isn't the case with all companies, but the thing is – we don't really know whether or not that is the case with any particular item, and that scares me just as much. It's unsettling to think that every time I buy new sheets or towels or even coffee or chocolate, I might be buying into our modern-day slave trade. It's true that I don't know for sure whether or not the individual in Pakistan who hemmed the selvage on my jeans was paid a fair wage, but if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to spend my money on items of which I do have certainty?
It is also not news that our economy is being hollowed out as companies are moving overseas more and more in order to save money – and in the process, take jobs away from our own people. But like I said, I talk a great deal about that, and the reason for my thoughts tonight is that I want to talk about the stuff of mine that I know has a good story, and also to share with my friends some wonderful makers I know of who make quality goods both for practicality and for pleasure.
I think the first step toward being a conscious consumer is to realize that we don't need stuff, really. When I say that I didn't want to register for my wedding, I meant it. And I still stand by the principles that guided that desire in the first place. We did eventually cave in and we got a lot of nice things, but you see, we already had an abundance through the generosity of friends and the thoughtfulness of family in heirlooms.
I will begin in the kitchen. My dinner set is a hand-me-down from my great aunt who needed to purge her house of a few things. It is nothing special outside of that, and probably not worth much were I to sell it, but these plates and bowls have stories. They're durable, they cost me nothing, and they serve their purpose of beautifully dressing a simple meal to provide us the nourishment we need. My mugs are many. A set of four, handmade by MUW art instructor Ian Childers, bought at our local Arts Council where they were featured in a ceramics exhibit, and given to me by my sister, his student. Another set of four, brown sturdy things, found in my grandmother's cabinets. My glasses, a set of four, old hand-me-downs from a friend that I also happen to find featured in a good many food blogs for their style and antiquity, so that makes me feel super-cool. Another set of four soon-to-be(?) hand-cut out of old syrup bottles from my talented sister. And above my cabinets, a set of wooden salad bowls, also foraged from my grandparents' treasure chest of a home. Smiling at me next to those are George, John, Paul, and Ringo burned into a set of wooden spoons as a gift from my sister, and behind those, a message from those same men regarding all we need in a wood-burned piece made by my dad.
Above my mantle, the porcelain magnolia that I always remember centered among my grandparents' portraits of our family and their beloved grandchildren. Beneath my mantle, a basket of blankets – one hand-crocheted by our dear friend Anna as a wedding gift, one hand-quilted my dear aunt Ann as a wedding gift, one Mexican blanket purchased as a honeymoon souvenir, and one hand knitted by our dear aunt Wanda. Beneath the foot of my bed, a cedar chest from (you guessed it!) My grandparents' house which holds a blanket sewn by my mother when I was still a child and an afghan made by my grandma.
An aloe plant rests in a handmade, hand painted ceramic jug given to me by my friend visiting South Korea. And I absolutely have to mention these two most amazing pieces of furniture I will probably ever own. These Asian cabinets belonged to our cousin who passed away a few years ago, and left everything to us, as she had no children of her own. They are the personality of every room I've had them in, and if I get rid of anything else I own, I should never be parted from these.
You see, I believe there is a safe balance with our things. Things are temporary, but they are necessary. If we must have a cup from which to drink, let that cup sustain our needs as long as it may. Let that cup be lovingly formed by hands that will reap the full reward for their work. If we are to eat, let us eat from a bounty we toiled for, let us eat from a bounty close-to-home.
Please do not mistake my words for saying that people overseas do not need our support. I'm not advocating for pulling support from nations that need it. But at the same time, I've heard all to many times justification for poor working situations in sweatshops with the excuse of "well it's better that anything else they could find" to which all I can say is REALLY?!?! First of all, we have no right to assume that as we have never been in such a situation, and second of all, is it really better? There is a right way to do that as well. There are companies and organizations springing up all over the place that support the local economy of other nations by providing quality goods to anyone in the world who wishes to sport a lovely bag or piece of jewelry. And I believe those are worthy causes because the money you spend on those goods go directly to the folks who made them. By purchasing a pair of shoes from Old Navy, you can bet that the makers of those items barely receive a dollar off the thirty that you paid the store. I do advocate for buying local as much as you can, but I also believe there can be a balance in that as well. We know we have plenty here, in spite of the economy, so I absolutely also advocate for supporting global causes that are bettering individuals as opposed to corporations.
Below, I've put together a list of my favorite makers that produce items 100% American made as well as some international companies that support their own local economies, and before you gasp at the prices, let me mention the next step in becoming a conscious consumer which is that you are not only paying for a product, you are paying for a service. Those boots may be $300, but they will last you far longer than any pair you find at Dick's Sporting Goods.
So here are the makers:
Paper & Clay is a studio in Memphis, TN whose maker, Brit McDaniel has the master hands behind some of the most gorgeous ceramic mugs, bowls, pitchers, planters, and so much more.
Frostbeard is a candle company for book nerds and other nerds. They have candles scented for old books, Sherlock's study, The Shire, all four Hogwarts houses, Dumbledore's office, Oxford Library, and I'm going to stop now before I buy all of them.
Bourbon French Parfums is a perfumery that has resided in the French Quarter for over 100 years! All their perfumes are mixed in small batches by hand and smell positively divine. I'm completely satisfied with my Lilac & Lace.
Golden Apothecary is Nashville-based and creates all kinds of all-natural body products from beard oil to lip balm to muscle salve to deodorants.
Camellia Fiber Company is also Nashville based and run by Rebekka Seale who sources her fibers locally and spins and dyes the most beautiful and softest yarns you've ever seen. And just to give you a heads-up – her products sell out VERY quickly, so make sure you get on her mailing list so you'll know when to expect the next batch.
Wheat & Co. is another Nashville Store that provides American-made goods and is dedicated to providing products whose makers maintain a close relationship with them. I'm currently salivating over the boots.
Thistle Farms is by far my personal favorite. It is a social enterprise that was started by Becca Stevens, who also founded Magdalene, a residential recovery program for victims of prostitution and addiction in Nashville. The company was begun out of a necessity to provide the women with jobs when no other organization would want to take them on. Zero work history + hundreds of arrests on your record don't make for a good resume. These women are completely in charge of the company that makes body products and candles and also sells the healing oils that they use in their products. Each item you buy from the lavender soap to the sage & lemon-grass candle were handmade by a survivor of prostitution. And another great aspect is that this company partners with other organizations in other countries that serve the same purpose in their own communities.
And finally, I leave you with a hub of makers. The Just Giving Guide by Sojourners is a collection of resources for fair trade giving options. You can shop for home goods, clothing, food and beverages, and jewelry.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but they are some companies that are a good place to start. We've got a long way to go before we would be able to find everything we need with certainty that the products were sustainably and ethically made. But I believe we've got to start somewhere. It's hard to find a garden hose that wasn't made in Taiwan or a phone that wasn't assembled in China, but it's not all that hard to buy secondhand, it's not all that hard to find at least SOME locally grown produce, and it's not all that hard to learn to make some of our own things. The world can't change overnight, but it can change in the small steps we take every day as we think twice about the way we consume things and how much we really need the things we do consume. And if we do find that we really do need these things, let there be a good story behind them.

French banks agree to defer Greek loans• http://english.aljazeera.net/
French banks have reached an outline agreement to roll over holdings of maturing Greek bonds as part of a wider European plan to avoid sovereign default.
Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, said in Paris on Monday that the banks would be offered 30-year Greek bonds with a coupon equivalent to the euro zone's lending rate to Greece, plus a premium based on the financially troubled nation's future economic growth rate.
"We concluded that by stretching out the loans over 30 years, putting [interest rates] at the level of European loans, plus a premium indexed to future Greek growth, that would be a system that each country could find attractive," Sarkozy said.

Within two rooms
"Many of the main technicians of the film are students who are still pursuing their studies at various colleges," says artist-painter Shreethar, the producer of Maiem. Helming the film is Aditya Baskaran, an engineering student. The plot—which has a blend of humour, suspense and thrill—is set in two rooms: an ATM and a security room. "We had a special red carpet show for students and the tremendous response from them was heartening," adds the producer.

Films revolving around the Sri Lankan civil war have hit theatres at regular intervals. The latest is Sivappu with Navin Chandra, Rupa Manjari and Rajkiran. How is it different from the earlier ones, we ask director Satyasiva (of Kazhugu fame). He says, "They usually depicted the atrocities perpetrated by the army and the plight of the Tamils. But my film goes a step further. It conveys the despair of the refugees who find their hopes not quite fulfilled." It also touches upon the political angle, he adds.
Fear scape
A weekend without a ghost story hitting the big screen? Not possible. Today's release is Marapaachi, with debutant director KS Muthu Manoharan assuring that it will be a spine-chilling experience. Major Vasant plays the lead, sharing frames with debutant Nisha, a tree and a doll. "The plot revolves around a haunted tree that witnesses a murder and goes on a vendetta spree. However, a doll will be the highlight of the film," says Manoharan.

Girls certainly do not get to have all of the enjoyable with regards to fashion, with loads of attention-grabbing developments and styles to choose from relating to males's clothes. Headquartered in Camden Town, London, United Kingdom, Asos, recognized as the largest on-line trend retailer, presents quite a lot of over 50 thousand trend merchandise ranging from women's put on, males's put on, accessories, footwear and jewelries. I can only say, if I had a date show up in sneakers like that.. he'd be dining alone or with someone else, lol!
Footwear were also known as slippers – to not be confused with bedroom slippers. Vilebrequin, established in 1971 has turn into the last word symbol of luxury mens swimwear whilst Oliver Sweeney; creators of the admired Oliver Sweeney shoes have, since 1989 ensured mens footwear acquire the status of high quality that girls's footwear dominates.
There are also many menswear firms 'younger' compared to Eton which have, regardless of their juvenility; turn out to be synonymous with mens fashion. Give it a try as a result of Swimsuit four Mens won't ever ever disappoint its priceless prospects. They have been most of the time garishly patterned, but that was just like the subtle manner that mainstream style kept up with the pop scene, which was way more theatrical than everyday life would ordinarily enable.
Once upon a time they used to cover the truth that they were sporting raised shoes by sporting specifically designed platforms that lifted the whole shoe, not just the heel. We view women with a modern attitude but revert again to old style discrimination when its regarding men. With trusted males's clothing manufacturers equivalent to nico men, Yves Enzo , saga shop, dazawa store and so much extra getting the newest men's style gadgets in Kenya has by no means been simpler.

First awarded in 1969, the Man Booker Prize is recognised as the leading prize for high quality literary fiction written in English.
The 2016 shortlist has just been announced: 2 Americans, 2 Canadians and 2 British authors made the list, with literary giants as Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee, Costa winner A.L. Kennedy and Pulitzer winner Elizabeth Strout being overlooked this year.
Instead, 35 year old American debut novelist Ottessa Moshfegh was shortlisted for her psychological thriller Eileen. Fellow American Paul Beatty also made the list with The Sellout, a biting American satire about a young man's isolated upbringing.
Brit Deborah Levy was previously shortlisted for the Man Booker prize in 2012; she returns this year with Hot Milk. Fellow Brit Graeme Macrae Burney is shortlisted for His Bloody Project.
Canadian-born writers David Szalay and Madeleine Thien make the list for All That Man Is and Do Not Say We Have Nothing respectively.
Judges for the prize this year are Amanda Foreman, Jon Day, Abdulrazak Gurnah, David Harsent and Olivia Williams. Each writer on the shortlist will receive £2,500. The £50,000 winner will be revealed on 25 October.
The 2016 Man Booker Shortlist
Born in the 'agrarian ghetto' of Dickens – on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles – the narrator of The Sellout is raised by his single father, a controversial sociologist, and spends his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. Led to believe that his father's pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family's financial woes, he is shocked to discover, after his father is killed in a police shoot-out, that there never was a memoir. In fact, all that's left is the bill for a drive-through funeral.
Fuelled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: his hometown Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town's most famous resident – Hominy Jenkins – he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local… Read more
All That Man Is
by David Szalay
Nine men. Each of them at a different stage of life, each of them away from home, and each of them striving – in the suburbs of Prague, beside a Belgian motorway, in a cheap Cypriot hotel – to understand just what it means to be alive, here and now.
Tracing an arc from the Spring of youth to the winter of old age, All That Man Is brings these separate lives together to show us men as they are – ludicrous and inarticulate, shocking and despicable; vital, pitiable, hilarious, and full of heartfelt longing. And as the years chase them down, the stakes become bewilderingly high in this piercing portrayal of 21st-century manhood… Read more
by Ottessa Moshfegh
The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop, an unassuming yet disturbed young woman trapped between her role as her alcoholic father's carer in his squalid home and her day job as a secretary at the boys' prison, filled with its own quotidian horrors. Consumed by resentment and self-loathing, Eileen tempers her dreary days with perverse fantasies and dreams of escaping to the big city. In the meantime, she fills her nights and weekends with shoplifting, stalking a handsome prison guard named Randy, and cleaning up her increasingly deranged father's messes.
When the beautiful, charismatic Rebecca Saint John arrives on the scene as the new counselor at the prison, Eileen is enchanted and unable to resist what appears to be a miraculously budding friendship. In a Hitchcockian twist, her affection for Rebecca ultimately pulls her into complicity in a crime that surpasses her wildest imaginings… Read more

Who is Ingrid Bauer, the seamstress, the seductress, the big bad sister? Why is someone vandalising the walls of the town with gaudy love letters? And what part must Sofia play in all this? Floating on the dusk tide among numberless ghostly jellyfish, she feels everything inside herself shattering apart in slow motion. It is the best thing that ever happened to her.

His Bloody Project
by Graeme Macrae Burney
The year is 1869. After a brutal triple murder in a remote community in the Scottish Highlands, a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae is arrested for the crime.
A memoir written by the accused makes it clear that he is guilty, but the police and the courts must decide what drove him to murder the local village constable. And why did he kill his other two victims? Was he insane? Or was this the act of a man in possession of his senses? Only the persuasive powers of his advocate stand between the killer and the gallows at Inverness.
In this compelling and original novel, using the words of the accused, personal testimony, transcripts from the trial and newspaper reports, Graeme Macrae Burnet tells a moving story about the provisional nature of the truth, even when the facts are plain… Read more
Do Not Say We Have Nothing
by Madeleine Thien
An epic and resonant novel about the far-reaching effects of China's revolutionary history, told through the stories of two interlinked musical families, from the 1940s to the present day.
In Canada in 1991, ten-year-old Marie and her mother invite a guest into their home: a young woman who has fled China in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests. Her name is Ai-Ming.
As her relationship with Marie deepens, Ai-Ming tells the story of her family in revolutionary China, from the crowded teahouses in the first days of Chairman Mao's ascent, to the Shanghai Conservatory in the 1960s and the events leading to the Beijing demonstrations of 1989. It is a history of revolutionary idealism… Read more

NEW YORK (AP) – An officer shot in the face during a traffic stop died Saturday, and the suspected gunmen are now facing first-degree murder charges, officials said.
Russel Timoshenko, 23, died while on life support at Kings County Hospital from the injuries he suffered early Monday when he and his partner stopped a stolen SUV in Brooklyn, according to Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
Timoshenko had been paralyzed, suffered brain swelling and was unable to breathe on his own. His partner, Herman Yan, hit in the chest and arm but saved by his bullet-resistant vest, was released from the hospital Tuesday.
Two suspects captured in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania were charged in the assault; a third man was suspected of driving the getaway car, police said.
"Officer Timoshenko made the ultimate sacrifice with unflinching bravery and dedication to duty," Kelly said. "We'll never forget him, and we're more committed than ever to seeing to it that those responsible for this crime are prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
Timoshenko's family was by his side at the time of death, and a processional of officers, including Yan, filed past the body to pay condolences.
Kings County Hospital doctor Robert Kurtz said the activity in the officer's brain had ceased. "And that's death in New York state," he said.
By the time Timoshenko arrived at the hospital, he had been without oxygen at least 15 minutes. "From the second those bullets hit, he was unable to breathe and unable to move a muscle in his body," Kurtz said.
Both Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was out of town when Timoshenko died, expressed their condolences to the officer's family.
"While I can't know the anguish they are going through, I want Russel's parents Leonid and Tatyana to know their son was a hero," Bloomberg said in a statement. "It does not provide any consolation, but I am proud of the investigators who worked so swiftly to apprehend those that committed this detestable and cowardly act."
The suspects, Robert J. Ellis and Dexter Bostic, were ordered held without bail Friday at a Brooklyn hearing. They now face charges of first-degree murder in Timoshenko's death and could be sentenced to life in prison without parole if convicted, the Brooklyn District Attorney's office said.
The suspects had been facing charges of attempted murder. A new complaint was being written and an arraignment was set for Monday, the district attorney's office said. The suspects also face charges of assault on a police officer and other crimes.
Pennsylvania state troopers captured Ellis early Thursday morning in the Pocono Mountains, ending an intense manhunt that spanned three days and several states. Bostic was caught near the same remote spot on Wednesday.
Investigators said the two had a friend slip them out of the city by car shortly after the shooting. After pooling their money to fill up on gas in Connecticut, they agreed to have the unidentified driver keep going until there was a half a tank, then turn back and leave them behind in the wilderness, police said.
"They were literally hiding in the woods in a desperate attempt to avoid apprehension," said prosecutor Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi.
Authorities say Bostic and Ellis, both 34-year-old ex-convicts, were riding in a stolen SUV driven by a third man, Lee Woods, when police pulled the vehicle over early Monday morning in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights.
As officers Yan and Timoshenko approached either side of the vehicle, Bostic shot Timoshenko in the face with a .45-caliber pistol, and Ellis fired on Yan with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun, police said.
Prosecutors said in court that both Bostic and Ellis had made incriminating statements about the shooting. They also said investigators had lifted Ellis's fingerprints off a Popeye's Chicken box that was found – along with the guns used in the shooting and a third firearm – in a bag ditched near the shooting scene.
But defense attorney Danielle Eaddy said Ellis was driving the car, not Woods, and insisted Ellis had not fired on the officer.
"Yes, he was behind the wheel of the car," she said, "but that's a far cry from attempted murder in the first degree."
The lawyer also accused police of assaulting her client after his arrest.
Police spokesman Paul Browne denied police had abused the prisoner and said forensic evidence supported charges that Woods was the driver.

have never left the United States of America; however, I would be
lying if I said I have never been exposed to various flavors of
different cultures. Although my body has only "traveled" to
Florida, Arkansas, Illinois, and Georgia, my mind has set foot on
lands as far as Pakistan, India, South Korea, Egypt y España.
I have tasted, danced, and learned about Palestine, Nepal, Mexico, El
Salvador, Japan, and Turkey. Interestingly, the first time I traveled
the world was the day I went to a new high school after eighth grade
at fourteen years old. I wasn't a ruler of the middle school like the
other girls. The other girls must have been sisters, because they all
looked the same; blonde hair, rosy cheeks, and marshmallow skin. I
always wanted straight, bouncy hair just like Sandy's in my favorite
movie Grease, but that was a difficult request. I was an outlier with
curly hair, sun-kissed cheeks, and chocolate skin. The same rules
applied in my previous neighborhood, only the children were much
older and wrinkly than I was. I remember when I tried to become
friends with the beautiful African American girls in that tiny
school, but they would not accept me because my skin was lighter, and
told me I was not "a real black girl." I was unqualified
even in my own race. Due to this disadvantage, I had little stories
to tell my mother when she asked, "Anything fun happen today?"
remember everything. I remember my heart dropping to my feet the
second they stepped on the grey pavement that smelled like fresh
rain. As I lumbered closer and closer to my new school, a
kaleidoscope of butterflies fluttered in my stomach to remind me of
their presence. My mother and I weaved our way through the blue,
orange, and green jungle of hallways to reach the auditorium. As soon
as we entered the room, I saw a girl who looked like me holding her
father's hand. I have a twin? To the left I saw another me, and then
another, and more doppelgangers after that. Interestingly, there were
girls who had hidden their hair under scarves of many colors similar
to the halls. As I absorbed my surroundings within the congested
room, varieties of hairstyles, cheeks, and skin colors began to seize
my full attention; it was as if I looked at the stars and discovered
more and more constellations the longer I stared into infinity. Every
school uniform in the room belonged to a student of an origin
different from mine. My eyes wandered in myriad directions, and I
realized there would be no ruler at this school. This was the day I
met Aminah from Pakistan, Geebee from South Africa, Raheeq from
Egypt, Tarish from Punjab, Aious from Nepal, and Madelyn from down
the street. After I settled myself into the car seat, my mother began
her questionnaire with, "How was your first day of high school,
the big kahuna, the huge grade of nine?" I began to tell her of
how I traveled the world in eight hours.

Colin Mackenzie's main claim to fame has always been that he was the reporter who found on-the-run Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs in Brazil in 1974 but on Saturday that achievement might be eclipsed if he becomes the first journalist to own the winner of the Grand National.
And the horse in question could not be more aptly named – Fleet Street.
Speaking on Friday morning as he drove up to Liverpool for the big race, Mackenzie was not exactly exuding confidence.
He told Axegrinder: 'You'd have to say that victory is fairly unlikely. After all, he's 100-1 with the bookmakers.
'He's been a very good horse indeed but has suffered from injuries and illness. He was bought in Germany by Henry Ponsonby, where he had won three times, and he was already named Fleet Street, which appealed to me. I own one-twelfth of the horse but I'm the only journalist among the owners.
'He did well over hurdles in 2004, finishing third in big races at Cheltenham and Aintree, but then he got the equine equivalent of MRSA and nearly died five times. So he had 18 months off, came back and then immediately got injured again and needed another long break.
'He's now recovered and he won well over fences at Kempton around Christmas time."
How would winning the Grand National compare with finding Biggs and gaining that massive scoop all those years ago.
'Oh, it would be right up there. Finding Biggs gave me a huge adrenalin rush. But those days are long gone."
Indeed, he is not among those urging the BBC to rebroadcast the 1988 film based on Antony Delano's book Slip-Up, about Mackenzie's discovery of Biggs in Brazil, how the Daily Express then lost their exclusive and how Inspector Jack Slipper of Scotland Yard failed to bring Biggs back to Blighty.
'The film made me out to be a complete twit and was highly libellous of Jack Slipper. I don't think it will ever be shown again."
Last year's Grand National was an important occasion for Mackenzie – it was his last day as senior racing correspondent of the Daily Mail before beginning his retirement. Despite that, he is continuing to freelance and even on a recent three-month tour of New Zealand, Malaysia and India with wife Linda ('a couple of Saga louts") he couldn't resist penning 25,000 words for a blog.
Back to the horses and, reading between the lines, Axegrinder got the impression Mackenzie has much brighter hopes this summer for a horse he owns called the Betchworth Kid. 'He won three times last season and ended the year finishing second in the November Handicap. He's won us about £70,000 in prize money so far.
'He'll be targeted at the big staying races this year but he needs soft ground. He's due to run at Nottingham next Wednesday."
Mackenzie was nicknamed the Betchworth Kid when he started out on the Daily Express. Colleagues spotted that he was always rushing out to the betting shop and, as he'd been brought up in Betchworth and the Cincinnati Kid was the hit movie at the time, it seemed a suitable monicker.
Back to Saturday's big race at Aintree, what would he say to all those hacks around the country considering putting a few quid on Fleet Street just because of the name?
'My advice would be keep your money in your pocket. But then again, I've had a modest bet on the horse at 280-1 with Betfair."

The first part of solving the problem is understanding that the dog is not intentionally destructive, and the " sorry " look he gives when you return home is not " sorry " at all.
It is a survival instinct for dogs to be with their packs, and this appears to be the root of separation anxiety. Simply put, some dogs panic when left alone. It happens very quickly, usually within minutes of being left. They don't have a good concept of elapsed time. They have no reason to believe you are ever coming back. They may try to dig their way out of the house or yard, tearing apart woodwork, walls, rugs, and fences. They bark and howl. As the panic intensifies they may urinate and defecate. To relieve the anxiety they maybegin chewing things; furniture, cushions, shoes, books, anything. As fatigue sets in, the panic response subsides. Usually it's over within an hour of your leaving, although some dogs may vocalize for many hours. Some dogs will have a second go-round just prior to your arrival. Dogs have an excellent sense of time of day.
Part of the anxiety is trained. You come home and see the havoc that has been wrought in your home and you understandably become angry. So your dog panicked when you left.Now your dog is afraid of you when you come home. He assumes a submissive posture hoping you won't attack him. He isn't sorry for what he did, he's afraid of what you'll do. And hedoesn't understand that the torn up cushion s why you're angry, not even if you show it to him. And he did that to the cushion when you first left, a seeming lifetime ago. He thinks you are going to beat him with it.
Your dog has learned your routine. Your alarm goes off, you hurry him out to do his stuff, you get ready, put on your good clothes, put on your shoes, jingle your keys and you leave. YOU LEAVE.
The quickest fix for this problem is simple- stop leaving. The next quickest is to bring your dog with you, everywhere and always. The rest of us have more work to do.
First, don't get mad. Your dog can't help it and getting mad makes the problem worse.
