HOUSTON --The federal agency that monitors roller coaster safety has decided there's no evidence that the ride from which a man fell at this year's rodeo poses a current hazard. Brian Greenhouse died from his fall from the Hi-Miler on the last night of the rodeo in March. His family is suing the rodeo as well as the carnival ride company, Ray Cammack Shows, for wrongful death.
After a four-month investigation, we've obtained the Consumer Product Safety Commission's report on the ride. It's almost 800 pages long, revealing investigators found nothing that rose to what they consider a substantial hazard on the Hi-Miler at this point.
Greenhouse's family contends the ride did not properly restrain him.

TravelNerd: Traveling To Latin America? Watch Out For Wild Airline Fees
With summer travel season kicking in, plenty of travelers are looking forward to heading south – to South and Central America. With pristine beaches, wild nightlife and delicious food, South and Central America are hot destinations for the summer.
Be on the Lookout
Before you pack your swimsuit and book your tickets however, make sure you look at the fine print. Here are some of the craziest airline fees you should watch out for:
- While United Airlines charges $200 for an overweight bag on domestic flights, it charges an astounding $400 per overweight bag (71 – 100 lb.) on flights to Central and South America.
- The German carrier Lufthansa charges a pricey $800 for any bag over 72 lb. (33 kg.) and 62 in. (159 cm.) on all international flights.
- United Airlines and US Airways recently announced increases to their ticket change fees. International change fees to Central and South America are now $200 - $300, up from $150. With prices like those, any savings you found are now wiped out.
- While most domestic carriers offer free blankets and pillows on international flights, US Airway flyers should be aware that they charge $7 for a "power nap sack". Be thrifty by packing a scarf that can double as a blanket in your carry-on.
Tips to Save
With fees like those, travelers have to be cautious to not go over their vacation budget. Here are TravelNerd's top tips for saving on airfare:
- Domestic carriers allow 1 free checked bag on most international flights: Be sure you check your carrier's checked baggage policies. Most airlines allow one free checked bag. However, the second checked bag can easily cost $100. So pack light!
- South American carriers charge baggage by weight: TAM and LAN both allow 1 or 2 free bags as long as they are under 50 lb. (23 kg) total. Divide this weight up accordingly: maybe check-in your 10 lb. carry-on in addition to a 40 lb. rolling suitcase.
- Weigh your options: if you must bring a lot of luggage, think about whether it's more expensive to check in an overweight bag or a third suitcase. A third suitcase can range from $100 to $300, but overweight fees can range up to $400 easily.
- Stick to the dates: Change fees are sky-high, so make sure your dates of travel are set. Change fees are not outrageously high, and may even cost more than the ticket itself. Most airlines do allow a 24-hour grace period where ticket changes may be made within 24 hours of purchase. If you must change, change fast!

Voyage Along the Horizon
The Man of Feeling
All Souls
A Heart So White
Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me
Dark Back of Time
Your Face Tomorrow, Volume 1: Fever and Spear
Your Face Tomorrow, Volume 2: Dance and Dream
The Spanish novelist Javier Marìas was born in Madrid in 1951. His father Julián Marìas (1914–2005) was one of twentieth-century Spain's most important philosophers and the author of a history of philosophy that became the standard textbook on the subject in the Spanish-speaking world. Marìas senior was also on occasion an outspoken critic of the Franco regime; he was briefly imprisoned, and banned from teaching in Spanish universities from the late Forties to the early Seventies. His first appointment abroad, in 1951, was at Wellesley College, where the Marìases lived in the same building as Vladimir Nabokov, and became friends with him.
Like Nabokov's, Javier Marìas's fiction might be described as a supremely self-conscious, near-obsessive inquiry into self-consciousness and obsession. At some point his protagonists almost invariably engage in Humbertian acts of tortured, covert surveillance, and these in turn release dizzying flights of compulsive but fruitless speculation. One of his stalkers, Vìctor in Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me, actually watches his quarry, Luisa (one of many Luisas in his oeuvre), purchase a copy of Lolita in the course of a shopping trip; "an excellent choice," he observes.
Marìas established his name with the novella The Man of Feeling of 1986, although aficionados may seek out Voyage Along the Horizon, published when he was only twenty-one: it's a spoofy, somewhat surreal homage to the adventure stories of such writers as Conrad and Conan Doyle that pays tribute also to the complexly indirect narrative methods of the later Henry James; though entertaining in parts, it ends up—rather like the voyage to the Antarctic it sets out to relate—making relatively little headway. Deciding literary translation might prove a more valuable apprenticeship in the art of fiction than pastiche, Marìas devoted his twenties to creating Spanish versions of English-language classics by Sterne, Sir Thomas Browne, Conrad, Faulkner, James, Kipling, Hardy, Shakespeare, and Nabokov. His version of Tristram Shandy won the Spanish national award for translation in 1979.
The narrator of The Man of Feeling is an opera singer known as the Lion of Naples who falls in love with the unhappy wife of a powerful Belgian banker, Hieronimo Manur. During a week of rehearsals in Madrid for the role of Cassio in Verdi's Otello, the Lion pays extravagant court to the enigmatic Natalia Manur, and succeeds in wooing her away from her seemingly brutal and always busy husband—who promptly, and to the reader's great surprise, commits suicide. It is Manur, rather than the operatic tenor, who emerges as the man of feeling of the title, as the Othello figure in the love triangle.
The story is being told in the wake of the collapse of the Lion's love for Natalia, four years after his declaration of love to her culminated in a grand and eloquent vision of a shared Liebestod. But he is only Cassio, unable to scale the heights of passion of idealists such as Manur, or the tragic Hörbiger, who plays the role of Otello to the Lion's Cassio: although…

The Harvest (2015) Film Review, a movie directed by John McNaughton, starring Samantha Morton, Michael Shannon, Natasha Calis, Charlie Tahan, Peter Fonda, Meadow Williams, Nolan Lyons, Hayden Oliver, and Amina Robinson.
It is beyond argument that Michael Shannon is one of the best character actors working today. His talents are succeeded only by his still surprisingly-low name and face recognition, an unfortunate casualty of today's hyper-sexualized system which often feeds the frenzied masses with sex appeal rather than talent.
That's why it's so disappointing to see him star in The Harvest (2015), an exceptionally disappointing film better fit for the Lifetime Movie Channel than the nation's theaters or even DVD players.
Following the death of Maryann's (Natasha Calis) parents, her grandparents (Peter Fonda and Leslie Lyles) take guardianship and move her into their secluded, backwoods home. When exploring the woods among the golden leaves of fall, she happens upon a modest home and eyes a boy, Andy (Charlie Tahan), asleep in his bedroom. They quickly become friends after she climbs through his window and they do what all children seem to do now these days: play video games.
Having accepted that Andy cannot walk and is confined to a wheelchair, Maryann is unprepared for what comes next: an angry and beyond paranoid mother, Katherine (Samantha Morton), and an anxious, hesitant father, Richard (Michael Shannon), whose weathered appearance is an obvious sign that he has tired of his wife's constant energy-draining antics.
Following her gut, Maryann continues to visit Andy despite a surprise visit from Katherine to her grandparents, requesting that she stay away from her terminally-ill son. Whilst attempting to escape from the home upon Katherine's return, Maryann stumbles upon a truly disturbing secret in Andy's basement that threatens the lives of all involved.
The film, directed by Wild Things director John McNaughton, is fraught with amateurish mistakes that have everything to do with poor execution and absolutely nothing to do with the film's low budget. The story is clearly worth developing and exploring, as it does have an interesting hook with a few "surprise" revelations that could potentially deliver a true shock if unveiled correctly.
The script is woefully inadequate, however, to handle the infrastructure required to build true suspense. It's a wonder that none of the actors fell into any of the film's dozens of plot holes and unexplained, nonsensical developments. The execution is even worse, with an inappropriate, distracting score and bewildering editing, resulting in a clunky narrative, truncated tension, and loss of opportunity.
With some of the hammiest of hammy acting audiences have ever seen, Samantha Morton delivers a performance that harkens back to Faye Dunaway's portrayal of Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest, a performance and film known to be so bad that it's good. The same can be said of this film, although to a lesser degree. It has an interesting-enough story, is suspenseful-enough, and is populated with famous-enough actors that the film resembles nearly every other Lifetime film: it's good-enough. It's one of those films that you record on your DVR because it sounds interesting, but end up just deleting to make room for something else that you really want to watch.

Summer Infant Video Monitor review
Amazon Price History- $139- $199. Subscribe to our email to get notified on price drops on this product.
When we had our first baby we were rushing to buy crib, infant seat, stroller, clothes, baby bottles….the list is endless. To our rescue was Google. We were able to search for products, read the reviews and decide on what was best for us. But not all my choices were correct. I realized that the baby monitor I bought is not digital and I can hear my neighbours talking because either they have similar unit or their unit works on same frequency! As our baby grew I also realized that I should have rather invested in a video monitor so we know she is out of trouble while playing in her room. So I invested in another baby monitor, this time a video one. SInce I spent considerable amount of time on consumer reports and Amazon reviews I decided to put together my learnings on the baby monitors. I am reviewing Summer infant video monitor.
Should you invest in a video monitor instead of audio monitor?
Three reasons that I can think of on top of my head why a video monitor is better,
1) Infants wake up very easily on slightest of noise, with audio monitors sometimes its very hard to determine the reason behind some nosies coming from baby's room and you have to go to their room. You may accidently wake them up.
2) Many times we just go want to check if the baby is wearing her blanket properly and is comfortable. With video monitor we can do this without disturbing her.
3) Once you baby is grow up and you can leave her in her play room on her own you still want to keep a close eye on her to make sure everything is alright.
Private channel
Most of the wireless home devices, cordless phones, wireless routers etc. work on 2.4 GHz frequency. This results in an interference especially in analog devices. You may hear you neighbours talking on your receiver and if you can listen them chances are they can listen you as well! Summer Infant Video Monitor uses a digital private channel which eliminates cross talk and interference from similar devices.
2.5 inch Color Screen
The 2.5 inch color LCD screen on Summer Infant Video Monitor gives enough clarity to monitor baby's actions. There is an on-screen menu which can be used to pan, scan and zoom camera which actually works very well. The camera is infrared capable so it also works when there is not enough light in the room. The picture on the monitor is black and white in this case which is normal since the infrared cameras cannot determine colors in dark. The monitor also has LEDs which light up depending on the level of baby's sound. This feature is very handy when we want to keep the volume muted.
Rechargable battery
The Handheld monitor works on rechargable batteries which are included, so we save money on alkaline batteries. We charge it every night but single charge can last for upto 10 hours. The video can be switched off on the monitor to conserve battery. The LED on the monitor indicates when the battery is low. The included second adapter is really handy just in case the batteries run out of juice.
The monitor has decent range. Though the specs say 350′, it works well within home. The monitor indicates that we are out of range when it cannot talk to the camera anymore. I tweak the antenna direction depending on where I plan to stay in the home for most of the time.
What can be improved
The volume control is one of the most common functionalities yet tucked away inside on-screen menu. But we got used to it. Some of the users also where bothered by the infrared LEDs on the camera flashing every now and then when its dark. But its barely visible and does not bother the bay at all. This is not a perfect monitor but is definitely better than similar devices. There are newer models which cost over $300 but not many people own them so its hard to determine if they are worth the cost.
Where to purchase
Summer Infant BestView Video Monitor model 02644 costs close to $180 on Amazon and there was no tax and shipping for me (saved close to $20). Plus if I buy from Amazon I always know I can return it back without any hassles if I am not satisfied.

Fearless is the word to describe Amanda Walsh, European CEO of WPP Group's Red Cell network.
Both Andy Berlin, chairman of Red Cell, and Charlie Robertson, chief strategic officer, offer this description of Ms. Walsh.
|Amanda Walsh, European CEO, Red Cell.
Building a network
You'd have to be brave to take on the task of building Red Cell into a true network. "It's a massive challenge," Ms. Walsh admits, "but I really believe it's achievable. We will become hot."
Beyond the fearless factor, WPP Chief Executive Martin Sorrell describes Ms. Walsh as "good personality, motivated, good knowledge of the business, good judge of work, gets on well with clients." Mr. Robertson said, "Underneath her charismatic, stylish, classic CEO presence she is surprisingly steely and good with numbers."
Ms. Walsh, 46, worked as a translator before entering advertising as a secretary. She rose to become managing director at independent agency WCRS before setting up her own shop, Walsh Trott Chick Smith.
WTCS gave Ms. Walsh the entrepreneurial experience that has helped her connect with the spirit of different Red Cell agencies around the world.
Taking time off
However, after seven years she found the constant need for consensus "annoying and tedious," and took a year off to spend time with her husband of 15 years, Brian Stewart, a photographer and art director, and her 22-year-old stepdaughter, Sophie. "I've always worked because I enjoy it," she says. "My husband and I have taken it in turns to support each other. There was the joy of not knowing what I'd do next. It was exhilarating to have so many choices."
After dabbling with the idea of TV production, she took up Mr. Sorrell's offer to run Red Cell Europe in March 2004. "Now that I'm doing it, it seems the obvious next step," says Ms. Walsh, who's based in London.
"I spend all my time on new business, because ultimately that's how we'll change the network," she says, adding that Red Cell is "very close to getting assignments from some serious international clients."
Mr. Berlin is glad that Ms. Walsh came on board. "She is fast and brilliant at making sense of complex situations without losing track of priorities," he says. "Among great people, too few are fun -- Amanda is a lot of fun."

A full week of the college baseball season is in the books and Red Sox spring training games begin Thursday: Some notes, links and stats ...
A full week of the college baseball season is in the books and Red Sox spring training games begin on Thursday.
Here are some notes, links and stats from the past week on the college scene:
* Baseball America's Aaron Fitt broke a big story last week on the NCAA's suspension of Oregon State LHP Ben Wetzler (Falmouth, '12). Wetzler was drafted by the Phillies last summer in the fifth round, but chose not to sign. The Phillies, in turn, alerted the NCAA that Wetzler had used an agent in negotiations, which is technically against NCAA rules; however, it is a rule that is not strictly enforced. Nevertheless, the NCAA suspended Wetzler for 20 percent of the season or until March 3.
Here's Fitt's take on the whole ordeal. Nick Faleris of Baseball Prospectus also had a really good take on the Phillies' and the consequences for them as a result of this case.
* Kentucky two-way player A.J. Reed (Harwich, '12-13) earned National Player of the Week honors after belting five homers and driving in 11 runs in a three-game span. In seven games, Reed is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA and six strikeouts through 12 innings. He's hitting .433 with three doubles, six homers and 17 RBIs.
* Through nine games, Kennesaw State catcher Max Pentecost (Bourne, '13–CCBL MVP) has picked up where he left off last summer. He's the Owls leading hitter at .405 with five doubles, a homer and seven RBIs in 37 at-bats. He earned Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honors last week.
* Ole Miss RHP Chris Ellis (Cotuit, '13) impressed several scouts last summer and has also gotten off on a good foot this season. The Rebels' Friday starter threw a complete-game shutout this past weekend allowing just five hits and no walks. Fitt wrote about Ellis and his Cape experience in his Monday notebook.
* UVA OF Brandon Downes (Y-D, '13) hit a pair of solo homers off ECU RHP Jeff Hoffman (Hyannis, '12-13 — '13 CCBL Pro Prospect) on Friday in a matchup between one of the top pitchers and the No. 1-ranked Cavaliers.
* Kendall Rogers had a weekend roundup, including a pretty big upset by Holy Cross over No. 5-ranked Mississippi State. Rogers has a few notes on big weekend performances from Maryland RHP Jake Stinnett (Brewster, '13), Alabama LHP Justin Kamplain (Brewster, '13), Vanderbilt LHP Jared Miller (Orleans, '13), Louisville RHP Kyle Funkhouser (Chatham, '13-14) and Virginia RHP Josh Sborz (Orleans, '13).
* Monmouth LHP Andrew McGee (Chatham, '13) allowed one unearned run and struck out six and in a complete-game effort against Florida Atlantic in the Hawks' opener.
* Indiana LHP Joey DeNato (Y-D, '12), Big Ten co-Pitcher of the Week last week, had his 19.1-inning scoreless streak dating back to last season snapped on Friday, but he still picked up the win. Rogers likes what he sees in DeNato. Catcher Kyle Schwarber (Wareham, '12-13) hit a three-run homer in a 4-for-5 day at the plate.
* Hartford LHP Sean Newcomb (Wareham, '12-13) is getting some good attention as well. In the Hawks' season-opener Friday against Georgetown, he allowed three hits over five scoreless innings, walking three and striking out nine.
* Duke first baseman Chris Marconcini (Orleans, '13) is on fire through the Blue Devils' first seven games. He's hitting .481/.563/.778 with two doubles, two homers, four walks and nine RBIs. He's also 3-for-4 in stolen-base attempts. His big numbers earned him ACC Player of the Week honors.
* Vandberbilt RHP Tyler Beede, an Auburn, Mass. native and Lawrence Academy graduate, struck out a career-best 11 on Friday against UIC.
* UConn first baseman Bobby Melley (Hyannis '13-14), of Centerville, hit a game-tying RBI double in the eighth inning of an eventual win on Friday for the Huskies. He went 3-for-4 with two RBIs on Saturday.
On the major-league scene:
* MLB and MLBPA announced an experimental ruling for the 2014 season on plate collisions. Teams have received instructions on the changes. Red Sox manager John Farrell told MLB.com how his team would approach it:
"We're going to instruct them to slide," Farrell said. "We're talking about such a quick decision that you've got to go in feet first or a headfirst slide if you feel like that can avoid a tag. There's no contact, there's no collision.
"I think where we run the risk is if there's indecision if a guy is either going into a bent-leg slide or standing up. We're teaching the mind-set, 'Slide all the time.' "
Orioles catcher Matt Wieters (Orleans, '06), a 2013 Cape League Hall of Fame inductee, is a fan of the new collision rule.
* The Red Sox commence their spring training schedule on Thursday in the annual opening doubleheader against Boston College and Northeastern. RHP Brandon Workman (Wareham, '08-09) is set to start vs. Northeastern while RHP Matt Barnes (Wareham, '09-10) is scheduled to get a few innings against BC. On Friday, RHP Anthony Ranaudo (Brewster, '10) will start against Minnesota. Alex Speier at WEEI.com has the full pitching schedule for Boston's first four games.
* A good take on Red Sox third-base prospect Garin Cecchini from the Providence Journal's Tim Britton. As Tim notes, it's pronounced Chick-KEE-nee. Might want to write that down, you'll be hearing a lot more on him this spring.
* Meanwhile, something to keep an eye on with Daniel Nava missing a few days of BP in Fort Myers with a nerve issue in his neck.
* The Red Sox added another former Cape Leaguer to their pitching staff last week in LHP Chris Capuano (Cotuit, '97-98, Bourne, '99). Capuano is also a West Springfield native so it's something of a homecoming for the nine-year major-league veteran.
* Over in Seattle camp, catcher Mike Zunino (Y-D, '11) is hoping to move into a full-time role behind the plate for the Mariners this season.
* Another catching prospect on the rise, Kevin Plawecki (Hyannis, '11) in the Mets organization, received an invite to major-league spring training. Here's a good read on Plawecki's progression in Newsday: "He's somebody we feel very highly about," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said. "He does have our approach and we like what he does behind the plate."
* Last but not least, a terrific read in the L.A. Times on Nick Francona, Terry's son, and his path from graduating UPenn's Wharton Business School to the Marine Corps in Afghanistan to the Angels front office.

Older workers feel families put first
Posted on June 5, 2012 by allmumkind | Comments (6)
A recent YouGov survey discovered that older workers between the ages of 45 and 54 feel that families with children receive preferential treatment when it comes to flexible working applications. The survey commissioned over 1000 people found that just over 25% of employees between this age ground felt that flexible working requests are provided firstly to parents with children.
The findings raise concerns as the government had plans to introduce flexible working for all to reduce hours, however in the recent Queen's speech, there was no mention.
The frustration found amongst this age group is due to the raised hope of them creating a better work-life balance as they prolong their careers. There is concern that this government may have decided to shelve such a benefit.
Flexible working is seen as a real positive for working families, however an extension to other groups within any organisation should be considered. Such policies can't be implemented overnight. Businesses need to observe where they can accommodate polices which benefit all.

This could be in the WAITING section, but since it's involving rings…I put it here. I keep chaning my mind about styles of e-ring that I want, and my list keeps getting bigger 🙂 I have held firm to the Shut Up Pact (SO hasn't…lol), and have not discussed rings with him anymore. SOOOOO, to get to my point, I bought 2 rings from Berricle (round solitare with baguettes and a pear halo). While sparkly, they are so white. I just put them in the oven to see if baking them does make them look more "diamond like." I will post pictures and videos of before and after. I got such a great deal and their return policy is great, but I decided to keep and experiment with them and use as "stunt" rings.

Stepping up on short notice is sure to be the calling card for Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight Tim Boetsch, who will again stand in for an injured fighter as he takes on Matt Hamill at UFC Fight Night on April 2 in Broomfield, Colo.
Though he is replacing Stephan Bonnar, the Pennsylvania-based fighter is looking forward to having more time to get ready for his return to the Octagon.
"I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the time," said Boetsch with a laugh about having more time to prepare for this fight than his last time out.
It seems UFC matchmaker Joe Silva has the fighter's number on speed dial, as this is the second time he will step up for the promotion and Boetsch is fine with that arrangement.
"I'll be ready to fight whenever and wherever they need me," he stated. "Somebody gets hurt or drops out, I think my name's close to the top of the list of people they want to call."
His reward for such a standout performance over David Heath in his debut, now coupled with his next fight, have yielded the fighter a new deal with the UFC.
"It's looking like after the performance I put on, it's looking like a three-fight deal at this point. So you're going to be seeing more of me with the UFC."
While he looked devastating on his feet in the fight against Heath, it's a wrestling background that Boetsch employs. He's very happy to take the challenge of facing Matt Hamill, another strong wrestler, in April.
"I think it's going to be a great fight," Boetsch commented. "It has the makings of being real exciting. He's a decent wrestler, and he's not afraid to stand in there and bang, like his fight with (Michael) Bisping. He put on a real good show. He was getting after it most of the time, and I think that will be a real good match-up for me."

This film is based on the book Ernie Davis: The Elmira Express by Robert Gallagher.
"He changed our country… one yard at a time."
The story begins with a young Ernie Davis (Justin Martin) and a young Will Davis Jr. (Justin Jones), happily collecting soda bottles along the town's railroad tracks. Soon, they are confronted by a gang of white boys (approximately 10-15) hurling racial epithets and threatening to beat them up if they (young Ernie and young Will) do not give up their bags of soda bottles. Overwhelmed with fear, young Will drops his bag and jumps onto the side of a train that was conveniently passing by. Facing a seemingly inevitable situation, young Ernie, who is now surrounded by these boys who are threatening him, takes off running with both bags in hand. He runs so fast that neither the boys that were surrounding him, nor the ones who were hiding in the bushes and trees, could catch him!
Prior to watching the film, I did not know much about Ernie Davis, but it was the opening scene that gave me an idea of the level of talent and speed he possessed, even as a child.
According to the film, Ernie Davis struggled with stuttering as a child, but his grandfather (Charles S. Dutton), with whom he lived in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, apparently, helped him to overcome the problem by practicing his reading… of the Bible. Soon after the opening scene, the audience is introduced to Ernie's mother (Aunjanue Ellis), who has recently remarried and is ready for Ernie to join her and her new husband in Elmira, New York. While young Ernie excelled in the Small Fry Football League, dealing with racism is still apart of his everyday life.
Fast forward to Ernie's (Rob Brown) senior year in high school, and he is being recruited by approximately 50 schools, one of which is Syracuse University, whose football team is coached by Ben Schwartzwalder (Dennis Quaid) and led on the field by Jim Brown (Darrin Dewitt Henson), a recently drafted player for the Cleveland Browns. From there, the film focuses on Davis' time at Syracuse, where he not only shocked the college football world with his amazing skills, but he stood up to the harsh realities of racism that infected this country at that time.
I think there is much to glean from Ernie Davis' character, as portrayed on the big screen. Davis exhibited admirablecharacteristics such as respectfulness, perseverance, self-control, submissiveness, obedience and humility. Nowadays, much of society seems to look negatively upon such qualities in a man (as opposed to a woman); however, God is pleased. Here is what God says in His Word (The Holy Bible) about these traits. With regard to respectfulness, perseverance and self-control, God says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law" (Galatians 5:22-23). With regard to submissiveness, God says, "Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is… submitting to one another in the fear of God" (Ephesians 5:17, 21). Finally, with regard to obedience and humility, God says "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus… And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him…" (Philippians 2:5, 8-9a).
"The Express" is rated PG for thematic content, violence and language involving racism and for brief sensuality, and it is for those reasons viewers may find the movie somewhat offensive. My opinion, though, is that if the movie powers-that-be omitted the violence completely, it would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to stay true to the story, so to speak. Unfortunately, racially-motivated violence was characteristic of the late 1950's and early 1960's, during the time in which Ernie Davis lived. However, what I found very offensive was the profane language with which God's name was used—and that was not necessary to include in the movie. The third of the Ten Commandments reads, "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain" (Exodus 20:7).
Overall, I really enjoyed this film. I was inspired to continue in striving to be all that God created me to be, and I think other viewers will be, also. I think the filmmakers did a good job of tying up loose ends at the conclusion of the movie. I would personally recommend this movie for adults, however, due to the offensive content, I would not recommend it for teens.

When it comes to security in the cloud, organizations are confident in their cloud providers, but also and reluctant to expose certain types of data and applications, according to IT industry association CompTIA. Security vendors maintain the problem is one of visibility and control, and each has a solution.
It's an oft-repeated mantra: Organizations engaged in or investigating cloud computing in any of its many flavors are concerned about security. In fact, concerns about security, data privacy and data residency are often cited as inhibitors to cloud adoption. But are the concerns justified? Some security experts say visibility and control are the missing elements.
In a recent study of IT and business executives, CompTIA, the IT industry association, found that 50 percent of respondents cited greater reliance on Internet-based applications like cloud computing and software-as-a-service as a driving factor in their cyber security concerns. But a number of cloud experts say that in many ways data in the cloud is more secure than in an on-premise installation–or at least rapidly becoming that way–especially for smaller organizations that don't have the resources to dedicate to security technology and expert staff.
Security Staffing Issues?
Access to enough IT staff with security expertise may be particularly tricky for organizations of all sizes. CompTIA says 41 percent of organizations reported moderate or significant deficiencies in security expertise among IT staff. On average, CompTIA says organizations were about 30 percent short of their headcount devoted to security. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which adds the category of Information Security Analyst in 2011, unemployment for people employed in the category stands at 0 percent.
Christopher Primault, co-founder and managing director of GetApp.com, a business software marketplace that vets cloud-based apps and organizes information about them for small businesses, says that cloud services help organizations get around this problem because they provide professionals dedicated to safeguarding your information.
"Your data is probably safer with the vast majority of vendors than if you keep it on your premises," Primault says. "I really believe it's true." He adds, "We only use cloud services, so we were born in the cloud. The cost for me to keep data in-house and protect that data would be high. Frankly, by having my data in the cloud, I feel more secure."
Primault is not alone. According to CompTIA, 85 percent of organizations using cloud services are confident or very confident in their cloud service provider when it comes to security. But those same organizations are reluctant to put certain types of data or applications in the cloud.
"There is a slight paradox among users of the cloud right now," says Tim Herbert, research vice president with CompTIA. "They convey very strong confidence in cloud service provider security. At the same time, many companies are very reluctant to put certain types of data or applications into a cloud environment. Companies have moved some of the non-critical systems into the cloud, but they are not there yet in terms of moving their most critical systems to the cloud."
Firms are especially reluctant to put confidential company financial data and credit card data in the cloud. CompTIA found 49 percent of small firms, 55 percent of medium firms and 56 percent of large firms were unwilling to put confidential company financial data in the cloud. When it came to credit card data, 50 percent of small firms, 50 percent of medium firms and 53 percent of large firms were reluctant.
Cloud Security Assessment Shortcomings
Even as organizations struggle between confidence in the security measures of cloud service providers and reluctance to place sensitive data in the cloud, they are also on the whole overlooking critical elements of cloud security when evaluating service providers' security policies, Herbert says. In particular, regulatory compliance, geolocation of data and the credentials of the provider are often glossed over.
"Despite some of the concerns, only 29 percent of the companies in the study say they engage in a heavy or comprehensive review of the cloud service providers' security practices," Herbert says.
In the study, 50 percent of respondents say they either sometimes or rarely/never assess the geographic location of a cloud provider's data centers. A further 46 percent say they either sometimes or rarely/never assess the regulatory compliance of cloud providers. And 44 percent say they either sometimes or rarely/never assess a provider's identity and access management. This can lead to some unpleasant surprises, according to CompTIA.
"Recently, the City of Los Angeles and Google learned the hard way what happens when an uncertain regulatory variable is introduced into a cloud deployment," CompTIA says in its 9th Annual Information Security Trends Study. "LA had to alter its plan to shift 30,000 city employees to Google Apps when it was discovered that Google Apps was not fully compliant with the FBI's security requirements for connecting to the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS), a clearinghouse of law enforcement data administered by the Department of Justice."
CompTIA adds, "This is one notable example of what is sure to be a more regular occurrence-organizations making the transition to the cloud only to discover a security-related element that forces a change of plans. As the cloud model matures, some of these issues may naturally work themselves out, but in the shorter-term, IT solution providers and cloud vendors can provide a valuable service in reducing the likelihood of these types of situations, Longer term, third party assessments of cloud service provider security policies, procedures and capabilities may become standard."
Securing the Cloud
In the meantime, security vendors are determined to make the cloud a trusted environment in which organizations can do business. "The real challenge is that companies need to move to the cloud," says Dave Canellos, CEO of Toronto-based PerspecSys, a provider of privacy, residency and security solutions for the cloud. "This isn't a fad. It's really about how you manage that responsibility and ensure that you protect the information that you are now managing."
Nicholas Popp, vice president of product management and development at Symantec, acknowledges that the cloud is not quite up to par with on-premise installations when it comes to security. But he also says he believes the time is rapidly approaching.
"The cloud eventually will be more secure," he says. "Security as a do-it-yourself operation is getting more and more difficult."
Popp predicted that within three to five years, the cloud will be the more secure environment for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), while the horizon for larger enterprises is probably in the 10-year range.
"A lot of people will claim that the cloud is fundamentally insecure," he says. "The real issue is not security, it's more about control and visibility. It's a trust issue. Salesforce and Google need to have good security. From a security standpoint, they're going to be much better than most companies."
The problem, Popp says, is that organizations don't have a good mechanism for injecting their own security policies into cloud services and they don't have the ability to access logs.
"The issue is that the cloud guys do not provide IT with enough control to set their own policy," he says. "It's actually difficult because every cloud is different. You have different APIs and security frameworks. They're all going to have different ways to do security and expose that security. We need to create a new control point so IT can inject their own policies on top of these cloud services."
Additionally, he says, an organization's IT staff needs to have access to logs and backups for both regulatory compliance and the capability to perform forensics if something does get compromised. Symantec's answer is O3, a cloud information gateway that it likens to the earth's ozone layer. It's intended to sit between an organization and its cloud services and act as a sort of cloud firewall. Popp says it will provide three layers of control: an identity and access control layer, an information protection layer and an information management layer. The first layer provides role-based access to information in the cloud, while the second enforces and organization's security policy. The final layer will capture all the logs and allow organizations to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
PerspecSys takes another tack, though like Symantec it focuses on the message of control.
"We make cloud applications mission-critical for companies by ensuring that their sensitive data never moves outside the company's network," explains Canellos. "We help you use the application in the cloud, but keep the sensitive data behind your firewall at all times."
PerspecSys focuses on protecting data in flight with an approach that Canellos says helps reduce the risk of data transfer, data processing and storage in the cloud.
"If you talk to data centers or the cloud providers, when the data is under their control, within the perimeter of their data center, they can give you all the assurances that the data is probably more secure than if it is with the perimeter of an SMB network," he says. "But what happens when the data is in flight? At that point, if you look at the agreements companies have with data centers, that is no longer their responsibility."
The PerspecSys Cloud Control Gateway uses tokenization to replace sensitive data in the cloud.
"Our solution sits between the conversation of the end user of the cloud application and the cloud," Canellos says. "Essentially, we're moderating the transaction between the end user and the cloud. Whatever the company has deemed to be sensitive information, we go ahead and steer that information to a local database behind the company firewall. In its place, we use replacement data."
Israeli-firm Porticor also believes that trust and control of data in the cloud is the problem, but its answer is all about encryption and key management. Gilad Parann-Nissany, Porticor co-founder and CEO, likens Porticor's solution to a safety deposit box in a Swiss bank. Porticor uses encryption key-splitting technology to give the customer a master encryption key common to all data objects in an application, while Porticor keeps its own set of encryption keys-'banker keys' as Parann-Nissany refers to them-for each data object. When an application accesses the data store, it uses both parts of the key to dynamically encrypt and decrypt the data. The master key itself is homomorphically encrypted so it is never exposed, even when in use.
"The customer has control through the customer master key and the banker works very hard to secure every file and disk," Parann-Nissany says. "Only the combination of the customer key and the banker key will open a disk."
Moreover, the keys in Porticor's possession are encrypted with the master key, so Porticor can't even access the keys without the customer.
"Suppose you're not dealing with a hacker," Parann-Nissany says. "Your attacker is a business rival and they go to court and get a court order for your data. Because of the nature of the solution, we have nothing. Even the banker key is not there, it's encrypted through the master key. They have to go to the customer if they want the data."
He added, "The banker can never see the customer key. Even when it is being combined with the other keys, it is itself encrypted through this technique. The key point is that we can manage the customer keys without ever touching them or knowing them ourselves."
CompTIA recommends that organizations use the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) as a resource for security questions when evaluating cloud service providers. The CSA, a nonprofit organization, has a list of more than 200 questions covering data integrity, security architecture, audits, regulatory compliance, governance, physical security, legal and more. It also publishes a top-level security roadmap for cloud operations.

Paceman Peter Siddle removed Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood in the space of nine balls to give Australia the edge over England on the opening day of the first Ashes Test on Thursday.
Siddle, preferred to Doug Bollinger in the starting 11 at the Gabba, swung the game Australia's way after removing the dangerous Pietersen and Collingwood during the middle session.
At tea, England, after winning the toss, were 172 for four with opening batsman Alastair Cook unbeaten on 60 in 244 minutes and Ian Bell 26 not out.
The wholehearted Siddle's second bowling spell proved productive when he snared the big wicket of Pietersen, who averages over 50 against Australia.
Pietersen yet again failed to go on after playing himself in and fell to Siddle for 43 in the 38th over.
Pietersen went on the front foot to drive only to get a thick edge and Ricky Ponting took a secure catch at second slip.
England's high-profile batsman was at the crease for 96 minutes and hammered some beautiful cover drives among his six boundaries.
Collingwood only lasted eight balls before falling in Siddle's next over, edging to Marcus North at third slip for four.
Siddle had taken 2-4 off nine balls.
In the morning session England lost the wickets of skipper Andrew Strauss off the third ball of the match and Jonathan Trott in the 14th over.
Strauss sliced a wide Ben Hilfenhaus delivery straight to Mike Hussey in the gully for a duck.
Strauss's dismissal follows his inglorious last series in Australia four years ago when he made just 247 runs at 24.70 and scored only one half-century in his 10 Test innings.
Watson bowled Trott for 29 with an inswinger on the last ball of his opening over which collected his off-stump.
Cook had batted through the opening two sessions after having a life on 26 when debutant Test spinner Xavier Doherty put down a catch at point.
Australian skipper Ponting lost his two challenges when the TV umpire ruled against a lbw decision on Trott (8) in Siddle's second over and Bell (18) who survived an inconclusive catch off Johnson.
England have not won the Brisbane Test since Mike Gatting's team prevailed by seven wickets six tours ago -- on the way to their last Australian series victory in 1986/87.
Siddle double gives Australia the edge
Paceman Peter Siddle removed Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood in the space of nine balls to give Australia the edge over England on the opening day of the first Ashes Test on Thursday.

Hello and welcome to "WHO'S ON THE SHELF?" with yours truly, Nonnie Jules! Since we are a book club, you know we had to offer something that included a book shelf. A lot of interviews merely cover an author's work or an individual's career stories. Here on this "SHELF," we get down and dirty and ask the questions no other interviewer dare ask. We ask the questions that you want to open up a book and find the answers to on your favorite authors and fellow book club members, but, no one has dared to cover them. WE get personal! Because when you sit on this "SHELF," YOU are an open book! Even if I have to pry you open!
Today, we have a very special guest on the SHELF with us, member, ROBERT FEAR. Robert is our "SPOTLIGHT" Author for the month of July and we are celebrating him all month long. This week, he gets to sit on the shelf with me!
NJ: Before we get started, how do you like the design and feel of my new shelf? We've made it more comfortable in 2017, in that we want all of our guests to feel at home…that's if they're coming from a nice and neat one, and we also wanted the lay out to be a bit safer….you know, we've had a few accidents up here on this shelf? So, comfy?
RF: Yes, thanks Nonnie. I'm a little nervous, but thanks for inviting me to be a guest on your new, very comfortable shelf. It's a real honour!
NJ: Thank you, Mr. FEAR…what a perfect name when you're sitting up here with me. Let's start by confirming whether or not your author name is your birth name or a pen name?
RF: Robert Fear is my birth name.
NJ: And I love it each time you say it! Tell us where you were born? Do you still live there now? If not, what city and state are you calling home these days?
RF: I was born in a city called Leicester in England. My family left there when I was 11 and moved south to a village in Surrey called South Nutfield. My teenage years were spent growing up there. I now live in a town called Eastbourne on the south coast.
NJ: Married or single, Robert?
RF: Married.
NJ: Any kids? What kind?
RF: No, although I have two grown-up nephews and a niece. Also a 5 year-old great-nephew.
NJ: Those will do just fine, too! Aren't nieces and nephews grand? If you're not there already, when you're old and cranky, which one (if they had to) would keep you at home to care for you themselves, and which one would immediately throw you into a nursing home and only visit you at Christmas?
RF: I will be 62 this year so not old and cranky yet, or I don't think so! I haven't really considered the rest of your question, maybe I should.
NJ: I think you should. When your mind starts to leave you, you never know which family member is going to draw that short straw (aka YOU) and what they'll do with you (or to you) when it happens, so if I were you…I'd start pondering. Any pets? What kind?
RF: We are cat people. Over the years we have looked after a succession of rescue cats and enjoy their company. At the moment we have three: Floyd, Hazell and Jet.
How Nonnie feels about cats…
NJ: Uh, yea. OK, so what's the food that's so good to you, you go to bed dreaming about it, and you forego breakfast just to get to it?
RF: I can't say that I've ever felt that way about food to be honest.
NJ: WOW! OK. #Shocking. What's your favorite color, Robert?
RF: Blue
NJ: Yea, I think blue's kinda boring, but OK. Live and let live. How about your favorite sport. Have one of those?
RF: Soccer
NJ: Yeeeeeessssss, I can totally see you in a soccer game! So, any favorite TV Shows?
RF: 'Have I Got News For You' – it is a satirical panel quiz show on UK television. Very funny!
NJ: You'll have to tell me more about it after the show. As you can see, I LOVE funny/humor! So, who's your favorite Actress or Actor?
RF: I think it would have to be Tom Hanks. He is such a versatile actor and I've enjoyed many of his films.
NJ: I just hung up the phone with Tom (yes, we're on a first name basis), and he told me to tell you…
I know, you didn't know that I knew him. Oh, stop…I see that you're gushing all over yourself. I know tons of folks. I know folks in high places …
…and low places, too
So, Robert, do you like to exercise to stay fit OR do you not mind just letting it all go?
RF: I enjoy walking to stay fit. Eastbourne is a great place for that, with a 4 mile promenade and it's close to the South Downs National Park as well.
NJ: I love walking and running, too! Your place sounds like heaven! Robert, what's your biggest pet peeve that makes you want to spit nails? (For the record, NJ does not condone violence, but she does believe in being honest so she admits that there are those times and there are those people, who do cause her to want to spit a few nails in the direction of their foreheads. Hey, just being honest. It's the only way I roll).
RF: Readers who leave 1 star reviews and get very personal and cruel about the author. I don't think there is any need for that and it can be very upsetting.
NJ: Robert, here is where you need to become really tuned in to your last name. You see, I have no problem with a reader who has taken the time to read a book, who has spent their hard-earned money on said book, to give that book a 1-star review if they feel that it deserves it. I don't believe in attacking an author or getting personal in reviews, EVER, it should always be about the book, but I believe in total honesty in reviews and regarding writing, for that matter. So, you might be upset with me one day when I post a 1-star review. But, that's OK. So, are you neat or messy?
RF: Neat.
NJ: Yayyyyy! I like you again! Facebook or Twitter?
RF: Both.
NJ: We've come to realize that the internet is giving way to tons of budding friendships. Who would you say is the one person you've connected with the most…your internet BFF or buddy?
RF: This would have to be Frank Kusy, the well-known travel memoir author. Frank has been incredibly supportive and is always there when I need advice. He also introduced me to a Facebook group which has helped me tremendously.
NJ: Who do you favor most: Nonnie Jules or WonderWoman? Be honest.
RF: I thought they were one and the same person!
Oh, shucks…you're such a flatterer!
NJ: We all know that WonderWoman has her truth lasso and Nonnie has…well, just her truths, in the no-nonsense way she forces us to be honest and tell it like it is, whether it makes others uncomfortable or not. In your opinion, which one does a better job of making the world a better place? You can be honest here, too.
RF: It would have to be WonderWoman Nonnie Jules!
Robert, stop it! You are tickling me pink!
NJ: Name two favorite INDIE books that you've read:
RF: Kevin and I in India by Frank Kusy and That Bear Ate My Pants by Tony James Slater
NJ: OK, can't say that I've heard of either. ONE good INDIE book you've read that was so good you wished the entire world would read it…
RF: One of its Legs are Both the Same by Mike Cavanagh
NJ: What was so great about it?
RF: This is probably best summarized by my 5* review:
Engrossing memoir
I had the privilege of being able to beta read this wonderful book. It is a treasure trove of memories, woven together in a vividly descriptive life tapestry.
With the knowledge of a recent diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, Mike Cavanagh shares his innermost feelings, reflecting on his younger years and why he was so 'different'. Things he knows now make these reflections even more poignant and provide an additional layer to his many weird and wonderful recollections.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is an engrossing memoir and highly recommended.
Yea, uhhhhh, never had that happen here before, you know, someone just 'reading' a review like that. For a minute, I thought this was SPOTLIGHT HONORS with John Howell.
So, Robert, after you read books, do you post reviews?
RF: I always mean to and do so more often than not, especially if I know that the author does not have many reviews for the book yet.
NJ: Good for you, but I'm going to need you to do better and go beyond "meaning to." Let's get those reviews posted! Robert, what do you think readers should base their reviews on?
RF: Quality and content of the book.
NJ: OK. Are you one of those who are afraid to be honest in their reviews lest the author gets upset with you, or is honesty your best policy, especially in reviews?
RF: No, not at all, although all my reviews are 4 or 5 stars for one reason – I tend to be very choosy as to which books I read. If I start reading a book and am not getting on with it, then I would leave it and not review it. My time is too precious!
NJ: OK. Read any poorly written books lately?
RF: No. Well, not beyond the first twenty pages anyway.
NJ: Are you an author? Are you a good one? C'mon, we love honesty here.
RF: I am not a particularly good author. This may come as a bit of a shock as I am in the 'Author Spotlight' this month, Nonnie, but I do not see myself as a 'proper' author. I am more of a diarist or memoirist. My other skills include proof-reading and editing. It is only with my new book that I am aspiring to become an accomplished author.
NJ: You have the write attitude, Robert, which means you are going to go far…and, as a good/great author! How long have you been writing?
RF: I have had an interest in writing and editing since my early teens. My earliest endeavor was the 'Library Times' which I laboriously wrote out by hand and distributed amongst family and school friends. Next came the 'Crusader Comet' which lasted for over twenty monthly editions. This was for a local Crusaders group that I attended. As this was in the early 70's, before word processors, I used a typewriter and produced stencils for use with a duplicator. In the sixth form, when I was 17-18, I studied English Literature for one of my Advanced Level exams. My dream at that time was to become a journalist. I was also appointed as Editor of the school magazine, 'The Pilgrim', and I helped produce four editions of this professionally produced periodical. After that my writing lapsed as I took a different career path and then went off on my travels. It was not until 1981 that I embarked on my Asian trip and recorded everything I did in a handwritten diary. This formed the basis of 'Fred's Diary 1981: Travels in Asia', which was published in 2013.
NJ: WOW! Interesting. Are you able to take constructive criticism of your written work?
RF: I like to think I can. What I find difficult to accept is negative and unreasonable criticism.
NJ: That's good to know, Robert, as so many can't take any type of critiques regarding their writing. I literally beg for folks to point out any mistakes they find in my writing, because I want to be able to hold my own against the best. You can't grow unless you learn to listen and take in those things that you may perceive to be negative…take notes and learn so that you can turn them into positives.
Robert, name two books that you've written?
RF: The first is an edited version of the diary I referred to previously:
Fred's Diary 1981: Travels in Asia
The second was mostly written by my father when he was alive. I wrote the forward and did most of the editing, while my younger brother, Alastair, wrote the final three chapters:
Exclusive Pedigree: My life in and out of the Brethren
NJ: Which one do you think is the best?
RF: They are both very different types of books. Mine is in a diary format and covers the 158 days of my travels around Asia – this style and the drug use throughout is not appreciated by some. My father's memoirs cover a much longer period and are written very well. They cover various aspects of his being both inside and outside the Exclusive Brethren religious sect, while holding true to his faith in God. I think Exclusive Pedigree is the better book because of its wider appeal and the way it is written. My father was a very good writer and worked as a journalist in his later years.
NJ: I can't wait to read both! Do you have a blog or website? I love GREAT blogs, so would you say that yours is written well enough for harsh critics like me to enjoy?
RF: My blog site fd81.net has been around for over two years. It is different to most blogs and is very travel-orientated. The earlier sections contain the daily serialization of my diary, during the time it was being prepared for its second edition. Since then I have featured many travel stories and travel highlights that have been entered in the annual competitions. In addition there are guest blogs from fellow travel writers and bloggers. I think you would have to check it out but hopefully you will find it interesting and enjoy reading it.
NJ: Which online resource or organization has helped you as an author the most?
This would definitely be the Facebook group.
Really, Rob? (Where's my beyhive? Oh, I forgot, I'm not Beyonce so I don't have a Beyhive to sting him. Darnit! Gotta get me one of those!)
NJ: Robert, I'm a journalist so I'm going to remain professional here. (Mumbling) How were you helped by this group?
RF: It is a very supportive group of authors and readers…
NJ: I changed my mind. I can't do it…I can't remain professional and sit thru this!!!!! You answered the question wrong above and so, we don't want to hear your response! Right, Nonnie-hive?
(Birds chirping)
NJ: *Sigh* Robert, since you're sitting on the SHELF, you're obviously a RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB member, so what do you think of the club?
RF: I have only been a member since late last year. Although I felt a little overwhelmed at first, I am slowly getting more and more involved. There are so many great activities and the club is very supportive of members when they actively participate in the club.
NJ: Have you come across any other online entities like it?
RF: No, not really
Guess you forgot about your Facebook group then…
NJ: Would you recommend us to your friends and family?
RF: Yes, definitely.
NJ: What's your most favorite program or place here within RRBC? (#PUSHTUESDAY, RAVE WAVES shows, Block Parties, Writers' Conference & Book Expo, BOOKS OF THE MONTH discussions, "ON THE SHELF" interviews, etc.)
RF: I wish that I had the time to participate more in all the different programs organized by RRBC. The area I have used the most is the BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS page and I am always interested in the BOOKS OF THE MONTH discussions. In addition I check out the #RRBC Twitter hashtag on a daily basis, re-tweeting and liking posts where I can.
NJ: Well, good for you, Robert! Those are great areas to participate in. This shelf is getting hard on my hiney, so we're going to wrap this interview up. Any final words for our guests today?
RF: Thank you very much for having me as your guest ON THE SHELF today. It came as a real surprise to be invited and I hope that my answers have been of interest to you and all your guests.
NJ: Thank you so much for hanging out on THE SHELF with us today, Robert! You have definitely entertained us all and made this one memorable interview, right gang?
To my guests, please pick up a copy of one of Robert's books or both of them.
Have you joined RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB yet? Well, here's your chance! And, since Robert was on the "SHELF" today, tell them he sent you. Make it a great day, my friends…or not. The choice is all yours! We'll see you next month, right here on the "SHELF" with another INTERESTING GUEST!!

This past week I spent three days alone on the North Shore of Lake Superior, the largest fresh water lake in the world (by area, not volume). It was three days of writing, hiking, and generally being reclusive. And it was fabulous!
This is a trip I try to make once each year, in different seasons, and in different contexts, but this was the first time I made the trip alone. One of the things that really struck me on this trip was the sounds of nature. I believe it was the traveling and hiking alone that made it possible to listen, really listen, to what was going on around me. And it was the sounds that stayed with me.
Hiking up the Temperance River Gorge the sound of the river was in my left ear, the sound of the woods in my right. The river's voice rages ever angrier as the trail climbs in elevation towards the High Falls. As the trail diverged away from the river and deeper into the woods the voice of the river fades leaving only the chorus of birds and the sounds of my own foot falls.
Hiking back down stream, past my starting point to the lake, the voice of the Temperance mellows into the jazzy sound of a stream stumbling over stones, a sound very similar to the soft chorus of cottonwood leaves in a breeze.
Back at my cabin I was able to listen to the sounds of the lake. On the first night it was the rhythmic bass of the waves as they reached the shore with a swoosh. This sound is fairly typical of The Big Lake. On the second day, the lake was almost completely still, quieter than I've ever seen it, and the waves had the sound of a kiss as the last bits of water spilled gently over the stones.
Each morning I was awakened by the insistent caw of just one crow. And each night I was serenaded to sleep by the throaty opera of an unseen bull frog.
When you are quiet and listening, really listening, the sounds of nature are there for you to hear and they are beautiful.

It's hard to believe we're at the beginning of a new year...again! Time flies but, wow, 2008 was gone in the blink of an eye!
We had a great Christmas - the girls received way too many gifts, as always! We had Christmas Day at our house w/ the DeLaGarza family and we all had a great time. We've been doing a gift exchange game for as along as I can remember. Everyone purchases a gift for $25 and we put all the wrapped gifts on the floor. We pick numbers and you hope to get the highest number because the person with the highest number gets to pick any gift they want in the end. During the game alot of "stealing" of the gifts goes on because you can take any one's gift - it's always alot of fun. There has been a pair of Budweiser slippers in the game for 16 years now. I'm not sure who purchased them as a gift - probably my uncle Tony! - but they are in the exchange every year now. We put lottery tickets or gift cards or money in them so it's always fun to see someone open up those slippers. I'll post a picture of them soon.
The Saturday after Christmas my dad and my two uncles, Tony and Bob, went to Wildwood w/ Dave to help w/ the cabin. They got alot done and had fun working together. We really appreciate them helping out! Thank you!
Then the Sunday after Christmas we headed to Arkansas w/ my parents, Nikki, Dan and the boys. We had a great time! The weather was nice - we even had a 65 degree day! The kids spent alot of time outside playing. We took them to a couple parks and down to the water by the dam. Mostly, they played outside at my parents house and one day we had a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. Another day, we all went bowling - we should really bowl more often because it was a riot!! On New Year's Eve the kids had fun ringing in the new year by banging on pots and pans. And, as always, the adults spend many nights playing card and board games late into the night! We laughed so hard we cried at times!
We came home on Friday so Dave could get back to work on the cabin. I can't believe he only has 3 months before it has to be done! Will he get it done? I'm panicking, he's not!
I'll be posting some new pics soon.

Yeah, so this is a little annoying.
I just saw that Target is selling Jason's new Polaroid photobook, a thousand things, for $25.73, ($29.72 with standard shipping) significantly cheaper than the $44.50 it cost as part of the Ticketmaster pre-sale a while back and the $35 still being charged at the Official Jason Mraz store. I believe the Ticketmaster price included shipping, but the Mraz store does not.
Jason did one of Target's exclusive "Influences" CDs last year, so maybe he has an ongoing deal with them that allows the lower price – or maybe Target lowered the price on their own in response to the bleak economic outlook for holiday.
But wait… it's not just Target. Amazon has it for $23.10 ($27.09 with standard shipping).
I'm looking through Ticketmaster and jasonmraz.com and athousandthings.com to see if maybe I've missed some significant difference in the books. I'll let you know what I come up with.
