The National Flood Barrier Testing & Certification Program is testing/certifying products that are designed and marketed to be used for flood-risk reduction to facilities that are exposed to flood risk such as buildings. These products are intended to provide flood-risk reduction to residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial property. They are generally categorized into the following five broad categories:
Perimeter Barriers
These are intended to provide temporary flood-risk reduction. These barriers are generally setup just prior to a flood event and are generally taken down immediately after the flood threat has passed. Setup of these barriers does not require any permanent fixtures to which the barrier is attached. Flood warning times prior to the flood event must be long enough in order for these barriers to be setup and become flood worthy. Perimeter barriers are basically of two general types depending upon the method of making the barriers stable to resist the forces of flood water. These methods are generally water filled or sand filled in order to provide product weight and stability and using the weight of the flood water itself on the barrier to anchor the product and provide the needed stability. Depending on the product, they can generally be deployed in a large variety of conditions. These products are usually the flood-proofing system.

Semi-Permanent Barriers
Semi-permanent barriers also provide temporary flood-risk reduction. They also rely on having enough flood warning time in order to be able to erect the barrier and they are generally erected just prior to the flood and removed shortly after the flood. These products rely on stability for an anchoring mechanism that is permanently attached to the ground where these products are erected. These products are usually the flood-proofing system.
Opening Barriers
These are intended to close openings in flood-proofing systems. They are generally categorized as closing window and door openings of buildings. They are usually a part of a permanently-installed flood-proofing system. They are removed from their closure position after the flood event passes in order to be able to freely use the opening that the product closed. These products are part of a flood-proofing system.
Flex-Wall® 2510, Side Deployed
The side deployed Flex-Wall® 2510 has been tested and approved to the ANSI/FM 2510 American National Standard for Flood Abatement Equipment for Openings. The Flex-Wall® 2510 is qualified for a range of Design Flood Elevations, up to 6 feet of water height; across varying width openings, up to 21-feet wide; and all without posts across the span. The system includes a high-strength fabric wall that can be deployed rapidly for flood protection. The patented system is stored in a container at the point of use so that all materials and components are available when needed. Sealing is achieved via clamping to the opening walls and the ground. Connection at
the opposite end of the opening is accomplished by bolting an integral Structural End Bar and a Vertical Clamp Bar to a preinstalled Receiver. All operations are manual in case of power outage and use standard hand tools. The Flex-Wall® is simple to operate and can be easily deployed or stowed by two people within 30 minutes.
- Point-of-use storage — Deploys at the last moment for minimal operational disruption, resumes operations faster, no lost components
- Rapid deployment — Deploy at last minute (Site secured in 30 minutes by two people) and retract quickly so can return to business as usual faster
- High DFE and Wide Opening Protection – 6 foot DFE at 21 foot wide opening with seepage <0.08 gal/hour/ linear foot of perimeter and no center posts
- Compact stowage — Stores in small spaces
- Scalable design — Sized to fit multiple vertical openings
- Robust materials and construction — Withstands debris impacts

Flood Mitigation Valves
These are generally used in sewer and drain systems to prevent the flow of flood water through these systems and into the building or structure desiring flood-risk reduction. These devices are permanently installed and do not function until flood water reaches sufficient depths that will allow the water to flow into the building via the sewer or drain system. These devices are part of a flood proofing system.
Penetration Sealing Devices
Sealant products are generally used to coat material that is not completely resistant to the passage of water when exposed to floods. The sealant material is applied in order to make the material waterproof in terms of the passage of water through the material. These products are permanently applied. They are part of a flood-proofing system.
Flood Mitigation Pumps
These are used for the removal of unwanted water. Types of flood mitigation pumps include but are not limited to submersible (e.g., a sump pump) and self-priming pumps. Flood mitigation pumps shall be utilized in one of the following applications: as part of an open automatic barrier system, installed in a building and used for removal of unwanted water, and/or as a portable emergency device used for removal of unwanted water from a building.

Let me take you back to December 2015 when I was holidaying with my boyfriend in the so called Hippie Island in Hampi, Karnataka. ATM's in Hampi ran out of cash the last day of our trip. So we dug into each other's wallet to gather what little we had. To our surprise we had just enough money for a meal and to take a local bus ride to bus stand. That evening while strolling the street filled with many artifacts, souvenir and clothes stores this dress caught my attention and the price tag was shocking. Though it was hard I gave up on the last glass of lemon ginger tea to buy this dress. Let me tell it loud that I paid only 50 inr (0.8$) for it. I dint bargain neither was the dress torn nor used.
Fast Forward to December 2016 when I was packing for a long trip to North India this dress was silently peeping out of my closet. Pom Pom dresses were doing rounds in the fashion industry and the Pom Pom accessories were the talk of the town. Why not oomph up this dress with some pom pom I thought. So I simply stitched some pom pom to the dress.
♦Materials Required♦
- Pom Pom ( I bought from Itsy Bitsy store paying 20 inr)
- Needle
- Thread
- Hair Band
- Shirt Button (Optional. I used my dad's old shirt button)
I still had few Pom Pom left. I stitched it to my hair band and it also doubled up as a hand bracelet.

Plan your outfit the night before
There are two types of people – those who throw on any old thing, without a second thought and those who change their outfit eight times, before settling on the first one. If you're the latter, then you're probably wasting a lot of valuable time in the morning.
Planning your outfit before you go to bed can make a world of difference when you're in a rush. Check the weather forecast, pick out an outfit and feel the relief, when your clothes are already there, laid out for you when you wake up.
Have a quick and easy breakfast option available
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to sit down and enjoy a leisurely breakfast every day? The reality of it is, that many of us opt for sleep over food, first thing in the morning. While breakfast is extremely important, preparing even the simplest of meals, can seem rather slow, when you're under time constraints.
There are plenty of healthy options available that you can prepare ahead of time, whip up quickly or take with you on the go. A few ideas you might like to try are: overnight oats, smoothies or wholegrain muffins.
Have a set location for all your necessities
There's nothing more frustrating than pulling apart the house, in search of your wallet – let alone, when you're in a rush to get to work. Eliminate this problem completely, by leaving all your necessities for the day in one location. That way, you know where everything is, so there will be no game of hide and seek with your car keys at 7AM.
If you want to be super prepared, you can even pop everything you need into your bag the night before. This will also decrease the chance of leaving something important behind.
Create a simple hair and makeup routine
There's nothing wrong with taking pride in your appearance but when you spend two hours every morning perfecting it, you may want to change things up a little. Simple hair and makeup, doesn't have to be boring!
By now, you would know what the most time consuming parts of your routine are. If it takes you a good half an hour to straighten your hair, why not do it the night before? Or if you're spending 20 minutes attempting to create the perfect wing, maybe go with a different look? It's all about making things easier for yourself!
Make a to do list for the next day
Settling into a routine is important and although a lot of your days may start to feel the same, there are usually at least some differences that set them apart. Maybe one morning you need to get into the office early, to prepare for a meeting. Or perhaps you left the dishes last night, so now you need to wash them before work.
Factoring in all the little things the night before, gives you time to prepare and plan your morning accordingly. A good way to keep track, is to regularly update your diary or planner, or even better, create a good old fashioned to do list! Having everything there in point form, can really help when your brain is still in sleep mode.

My high priest and I sometimes, although not often, converse about the prayer within, around and regarding Jesus Christ, their Lord and Saviour. I hesitate to write this post, but I know I must, as I am entitled to my opinion, and generally I consider my own opinion of the open minded one. If angered, upset, or otherwise taken aside by my post, feel free to comment or drop me an email. If you enjoy it, comment as well! The following will simply be a collection of comments regarding a few select interreligious experiences I have had with Christians extremely set in the, "My way is the only way" type of mindset.
It Begins…
"Lord Jesus, I pray you take these sinners into your hands and bless them, make them see your way, O Lord, that they may be saved and not perish in the fiery pits of hell…in the Lord's name, Amen."
I don't have the magic priest-talk down – quite yet – but I think I did a pretty damn good impression of the few encounters I've had with Christians who have asked if they could pray for me.
I suppose I shouldn't have started exploring so young. The first time I purposely encountered a fundamentalist preacher was when I was fifteen or sixteen, curious about their path, which claimed to be open minded. Mind you, I am referring to a church which is not part of any larger commune of churches – it is a small town church, in its own little world. I explained to the man that I doing research on churches and was wondering if I could ask some questions.
I told myself I wasn't looking for a fight – not really – but I had been under the tutelage of my high priest for about a year and was just itching for a chance to stand up for what I believed in. Eventually, the questions came my way as I was sitting in the man's house.
"Are you a Christian? Why not come a few more Sundays? There's a great teen program…"
And eventually, as I stood to leave, he asked if he could pray for me. I assented of course, and the prayer above is about what I got.
Now. If I ask to pray for someone, my prayer's going to be something along the lines of,
"Please (insert gods names here), bless (insert persons name here) and give them the strength, courage, and faith to continue along their path."
"Please (insert gods names here), help (insert persons name here) to see the error of their ways and convert to Wicca so that they don't…"
Oh, wait. We don't have a "The gods are going to spank you if you're naughty!" line.
It Continues…
Onto the Mormons. God, I love Mormons. They are the most respectful, shy, and tolerant people you will ever meet. The missionaries are people just like myself in terms of age, who are required to walk around, knocking on doors, spreading their faith. My guess is, they're so excited you'll talk to them, they don't even mind if you don't plan on converting!
I started talking to them when I was sixteen as well. They showed up at my door one day, and I was busy, but I offered to meet again with them later, where I worked – the local library.
I went through a few sets of Mormons this way – they kept my phone number, calling occasionally. But, there was one set of Mormons I especially remember – I feel bad that I can't remember their names. If you don't know the basic Mormon missionary set up, they usually travel in pairs in towns, stay for a month or two, and then move elsewhere.
I met this pair in the library after work. They immediately wanted to talk to me about their faith, and how I should convert. After a brief biblical conversation, in which I proved myself relatively worthy of speaking to, I said something that most likely blew their minds:
"I'll come to your church. But, only if you come to mine."
And so… a few minutes later, on a hot summer day, I had convinced two Mormon missionaries to trek out to the woods across two corn fields with me, all dressed up in their white shirts, dress shoes and black pants.
And when we had gone down the deer trail, onto the main trek, down a hill covered in dead leaves to the valley I practiced in, adjacent to a small, bubbling creek, surrounded completely by nature, I invited them to sit with me on the stumps that served as chairs.
"This is god." I said. "This is where I worship – with the sky as my temple, and the ground as my floor, and God all around me."
The need for argument, for convincing me to confess my sins and turn to the right path was gone, and left only wonder, and tolerance in place. The only thing further spoken of my faith by those missionaries that day was,
"As long as you believe in something – I think we all find God in different ways."
Take that for tolerance, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The Final Note
Well, you've heard two anecdotes relating Christians and myself. Now, I have one last thing – something my high priest and I joke of occasionally…
I beg you, Jesus – let the rapture begin! Take your Saved away and give us back our earth…
Til next time!

I don't remember where I read it, but somebody one wrote that blogging everyday somehow makes you more aware of the world… except he phrased it in such a way that he didn't sound like a complete geek. It's true though. When you know you have to try to write something interesting every day, you start to make mental notes about things going on around you. Of course it's not the blogging that does it, it's the writing. Even if nobody reads this, I'm happy just to be writing every day.
What brought that on is that I had many things that I was going to write about today, but instead I came across this little ditty and I forgot about everything else. What made me appreciate this (in an ironic kind of way) was that my thermodynamics exam last Thursday had one of those pages marked 'This page has been intentionally left blank'. Immediately following it was another page with a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon which was also very much appreciated. ("There's too much atmosphere!") I like what that website said so much that I made my own blank page. Aside from the obligatory ads at the top, it's quite peaceful.
Oh, also I determined that there's nowhere on campus where I can study. My studying requires tea and, lately, trail mix, so all the 20-odd libraries are out of bounds. Then the Info Cafe was full, the Shatner cafeteria was closed, Burnside is still gross, and as I had brought my own tea and trail mix I felt guilty going into any shop that was selling similar. I went to Trottier, but I didn't enjoy it. Well, maybe a little. I almost couldn't get out, until I found the unneccesarily discreet button to unlock the door. At least nobody was watching.

on Jul 05 in Dance • Shamefully Into This... • TV
Considering that I just spent seven hours going on a Twilight bender the other night and watching all three installments, this is especially funny to me cuz I get all the in-jokes. I do love that these guys have a sense of humor about themselves and often play along with the joke even if its at their expense. Snooki as Bella is hilarious and The Situation does a decent job of channeling his inner Edward although abs-wise, he would've been better suited as Jacob and maybe Paulie or Vinnie could've filled in as every teen girl's gave dreamboat vampire (yes, I am ashamed to admit that I've given that some thought.) Some cast members were mercifully used less than others but the whole thing is a home run and its brilliant promo leading up to the show's season 2 premiere July 29th. Speaking of which, I've also included the trailer for the upcoming season as it looks to be more of the tanned 'n' shameless shenanigans that made the gang such a hit (to some) the first time around… 'cept this time they're in Miami (which they remind us by endlessly quoting that d*mn LMFAO song as though once would not have been plenty.)
And if that ain't enough J. Sho for ya, then be sure to check out The Situation below pulling a "Real Housewife" and releasing his own dance single! Actually, the track (which isn't that bad) is more about featured artists Fatman Scoop and DJ Class with The Sitch thankfully reduced to the role of occasional sh*t-talker. However, with the trend of music-making reality uh, "stars" being just as hot as vampires and werewolves right now, I definitely felt Mr. "Gym, Tan, Laundry"'s future fist pump anthem was worth a quick listen.
QsNewz is your headquarters for all things Q. It's your online destination to find out when is his next class, what are his thoughts on new music/fashion, where can you find his warm-up music, and how much time can you spend watching his videos. It is all that and plenty more, so pour yourself an icy beverage, kick back, click away and get you some newz... QsNewz!

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a type of soft tissue tumor. GISTs are very rare tumors that start in special cells in the wall of the GI tract, called the interstitial cells of cajal. These cells, often called the "pacemaker cells," regulate body processes like digestion and send signals to the muscles within the gastrointestinal tract to expand and contract, moving food and liquid through the digestive system.
GISTs can occur anywhere within the digestive tract, but are found most frequently in the stomach or small intestine.
Proton therapy is a non–invasive, incredibly precise cancer treatment that uses a beam of protons moving at very high speeds to destroy cancer cells.

The minister wrote in the visitor's book that Latvia was "a moral voice of the European reunification", and that Latvia and FYR Macedonia are "far apart in terms of geography, but close in terms of our collective historical experience".

Here are some Stephanie Seymour topless pictures while sunbathing in St. Barts last month. These days the only thing Stephanie Seymour does is vacation on tropical islands around the world wearing next to nothing. Apparently old-supermodels to St. Barts after their careers are over. And yes, the former Victoria's Secret model is still smokin' hot. And the paparazzi did a wonderful job on this one. The long-lens camera is perhaps the greatest achievement of mankind. Hey, we get to see tits that are two-miles away... Enjoy! Click on pictures to enlarge!

Three men have been fined more than £10,000 for illegally landfilling waste after a prosecution by the Environment Agency
Brothers David and Alan Bradley, joint owners of Hardwicke Hall Manor Hotel, near Blackhall, Durham, were fined £3,855 and £971, respectively, while haulier Alan Waggott, of Howden-le-Wear, was fined £6,007.
All three pleaded guilty at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates Court. It heard that EA staff visited the hotel in September 2016 and found part of the car park, which is near to a watercourse, covered in waste with which the owners intended to repair an area that had suffered a landslip.
The agency noted it was illegal to dispose of waste by landfilling without an environmental permit, which Hardwicke Hall Manor Hotel did not have. EA officers found traces of bonded asbestos among the waste.
Waggott was contracted to remove waste from construction sites in North Ormesby and 36 wagon loads were tipped for free at the hotel.
More waste was found on a return visit by officers, despite them having ordered operations to stop and the removal of the waste.

The dragons, dire wolves, White Walkers and power-hungry political factions in HBO's fantasy epic "Game of Thrones" will invade movie theaters later this month — on the big, big screen. An exclusive trailer for the coming season along with the final two episodes of the previous season will be shown in 150 Imax theaters across the country.
The critically acclaimed drama about rival dynasties in a medieval-like world will be the first television series ever to appear on Imax screens. Tickets for the engagement, which will run for one week from Jan. 23 to 29, will go on sale "in the coming days."
The move signals a continued blurring of the lines among media platforms, where digital videos, television series and films stream across a proliferation of screens, from tiny mobile phones to movie theaters. It also shows the extent to which media companies are trying to turn their blockbuster hits into mega events, as drawing mass audiences becomes increasingly rare.
For Imax, the "Game of Thrones" screening is part of an effort to expand the type of programming it shows beyond its core theatrical releases, especially as the North American box office faces tumbling sales. The company has had preliminary conversations with other entertainment companies about showing other television series and also has tested technologies allowing for the screening of live sports. Music concerts also are on the table, said Richard L. Gelfond, chief executive of Imax.
"We see the past of our company and the future of our company as innovating in the way that content is displayed," Mr. Gelfond said.
Other experimentation includes a plan to show the sequel to the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" simultaneously on Netflix and in select Imax theaters.
HBO and Imax started talking about screening "Game of Thrones" several months ago, convinced that the high production quality of the series, the demographic of the fan base and the branding opportunities made it a worthy experiment. At a reported $6 million to $10 million an episode, the show ranks as one of the most expensive productions on television today.
" 'Game of Thrones' is one of the few television shows that has the scope and cinematic qualities to really support the Imax format," said Pamela Levine, chief marketing officer at HBO.
For HBO, the screening kicks off the promotion for the coming season of "Game of Thrones," which starts in April. It will also start what is expected to be a big year of marketing and promotion for the premium cable network as a whole. HBO announced in October that it planned to introduce a stand-alone Internet streaming service later this year that does not require a standard cable or satellite subscription. It also is planning its first brand marketing campaign in about two decades.
Some industry observers have speculated that HBO's new subscription streaming service would start in tandem with the new season of "Game of Thrones" so that the network could capitalize on the buzz related to the show. The fourth season of "Game of Thrones," which ended in June, averaged 19 million cumulative viewers, making it the most-watched HBO original series ever.
HBO has not released details about the timing or other aspects of the new service.
Timing was crucial for the "Game of Thrones" screenings. Blockbuster productions rarely are released in January, giving Imax some flexibility in scheduling an experiment. "It would be difficult to bump 'Avengers' or 'Star Wars' or 'Bond' to do something like this," Mr. Gelfond said. "But in late January, you have a lot more flexibility."

Childhood obesity is a health epidemic that continues to impact America's homes and schools, and is currently estimated to affect one in five children nationwide. Though statistics from the CDC show that numbers have remained relatively stable in recent years, the total figure has more than tripled since the 1970s.
Because obesity can potentially lead to chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, elevated cholesterol, self-esteem issues, and more, it is critical that nurturing, unconditional support is made available to children at every stage of growth – from their home life to their education to involvement with their pediatric provider.
Regardless of whether your child is overweight, a healthier lifestyle is a key factor in reversing the trend of childhood obesity. This can only begin with sound dietary choices and regular exercise. In recognition of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month this September, we have offered a few suggestions for creating a healthier environment and – ultimately – healthier children at home.
- Make gradual dietary changes – Drastic, wholesale shifts in your family's dining habits are likely to be met with resistance and resentment. Instead, make small, incremental alterations, such as ordering carryout less frequently, drinking water instead of soda and other sugary beverages, and voting together on new, healthier recipes to try.
- Heap on the vegetables – Have finicky eaters who swear off all greens? Sauces can be a great way to slip some leafy veggies past their radar. Or better yet, try a smoothie. Let the kids help with the blender! Fruit is an important consideration, too. Have options like bananas, apples, and grapes on hand to satisfy your sweet tooth's cravings – and definitely as an after-school snack.
- Lay off the fruit juice – The American Academy of Pediatrics believes fruit juice consumption to be a contributing cause to childhood obesity, in addition to dental concerns and gastrointestinal maladies. The Academy no longer recommends fruit juice for children younger than one year of age, and encourages whole fruits whenever possible.
- Encourage physical activity – In other words, insist on a break from screens of all sizes and urge your children to play outdoors whenever possible. A mere 40 minutes a day, three to four times per week, can make a world of difference.
- Don't misplace blame – Weight gain is attributed to a number of different factors, including genetics, a lack of healthy or appropriate food choices, and even air pollution. Solutions to a problem never stem from pointing fingers, but by working as a team to make the best, most productive decisions.
- Understand that there are no "quick fixes" – And those that are advertised – including diet fads, pills, and many shakes or beverages – can negatively impact one's health.
- Cook colorful meals together – Again, we're all in this together. So set your goal, rally your team, and get to it! Typically, the more colors that appear on a plate, the healthier the meal. Pick recipes with your family and delegate mixing, stirring, and ingredient duties. Children love to help create. They will also be far more likely to try the food they had a hand in preparing.
As always, have fun. Be safe. If you have questions, our pediatric specialists are always happy to oblige.

LONDON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - British factory output fell more than expected in August and the country's trade deficit widened sharply, data showed on Tuesday, dampening prospects of a sustained recovery in the second half of 2012.
Following is a summary of the data and economists' reactions.
"The trade data shows modest performance of the exports sector, a small drop in goods exports but the main news is a pick-up in goods imports and that's lead to a widening of the trade deficit.
"Now that stands somewhat in contrast to a story of weak economic growth in the UK, but as of now, the weak manufacturing data is saying one story and the bigger deficit is telling another story, so we'll have to wait for more clarity to really get a sense of the strength of the economy.
"We think growth will be 0.5 percent or so (in Q3 GDP) but that's just a simple bounceback from a very weak Q2. The underlying growth picture is still fairly weak or modest, but there are lots of question marks in the detail of the data and that will probably get ironed out over time."
"The (production) data's certainly quite weak on the month but it seems that we are overegging the weakness in the figures. We saw some really choppy figures in previous months, it seems in this data as if we might expect the reprecussions to continue. I expect that the underlying trend is downward, but it's not as bad as this data looks.
"I think we are certainly looking to exit the recession (in Q3), but I think predictions that we might be looking at a growth rate of over 1 percent will be pared back after today.
"Even if industrial output was flat in September we'd still be looking at a growth rate of 1.3 per cent in Q3.
"Too early to say what we'll be looking at in the fourth quarter. Some issues regarding energy output will start to unwind in the coming months, and there should be some upside there.
"The interal side of the economy isn't exactly galloping, but we're still moving forward. We can expect a decent level of growth in the third quarter, and then something more modest in Q4."
"August's weak UK industrial production and trade figures indicate that the underlying trend in GDP is flat at best and therefore undermine hopes that the 'green shoots' of economic recovery are emerging.
"Admittedly, economic activity has been volatile in the last couple of months, mainly due to June's extra bank holiday. Nonetheless, the underlying trend in output seems to be slightly down.
"Both industrial production and exports were lower in August than in May - the last monthly figure that was unaffected by the Jubilee distortions. So, although GDP should see a technical bounce-back from the bank holiday in Q3, today's figures suggest that the underlying picture is still very weak."
"Today's IP report doesn't show any major surprise. UK manufacturing activity remained under pressure in August, despite the solid increase in business confidence (i.e PMI).
"The annual pace of decline of the manufacturing sector has been moving in a narrow range since the start of the year, suggesting a negative contribution to GDP growth.
"In Q3, IP might provide a boost to GDP growth as the average figures incorporate the technical rebound seen in July. However, the picture for manufacturing activity remains sluggish for the remainder of the year as demand from abroad is under pressure and companies are generally sceptical to revise their investment plans in the current uncertain environment."
"The manufacturing number does look somewhat weak and is more consistent with the weakness we've seen in the broader survey data. Certainly it looks like the manufacturing sector is struggling and being affected by the very weak euro area economy and weak global backdrop.
"(But) the figures aren't too concerning for the Q3 GDP figures which we still expect to show a decent bounce.
"We think we will see the UK exit a recession in the Q3 figures, the question is how much of a drag industrial production and manufacturing are on that. But certainly, there's enough evidence there to suggest that services will be enough to pull us out of recession in those Q3 figures."
On trade data:
"What we think we've seen is a bit of correction from the respectable trade deficit that we saw in July. Exports again look to be pretty weak, they slump on the month and any hopes that we'll see a significant improvement over the months ahead are likely to be well overdone because the global backdrop remains pretty tough and exports are going to struggle."
"The industrial output was disappointing but not a major surprise. Overall it was down half a per cent, but I was expecting a bit worse.
"So if you factor that into the likely GDP output for Q3, we'll be looking at a gain of about three quarters of a percent. We ought to know much more when the construction industry data comes out next week.
"As for Q4, it's obviously very early days, but once the lights went out on the closing ceremony of the Olympics, we were looking for a bit of payback.
"There's still time for the growth surveys to improve and get the economy back on track."
"I am not surprised to see a dip in the manufacturing numbers given that we had an exaggerated bounce the previous month. It's heartening to see a little bit of continuing growth in North Sea oil and gas output, which I think is still on a downward trend."

He's 'Mr. Minnesota Twins' and the 6,000+ items in his third floor baseball hangout are proof enough.
Clyde Doepner of St. Paul, Minnesota has been a Twins fan since day one of the franchise. He's been a collector just as long.
The history teacher/baseball fan has put together a phenomenal collection of Twins memorabilia, including game-worn uniforms, one-of-a-kind bobbleheads, countless autographs and other unique pieces.
He's well known to the Twins organization, which has utilized his collection for team events and there's a good chance it will be his collection that makes up a good chunk of the exhibits inside a team museum that's being planned for the inside the new Twins stadium, set to open next season.
Right now, it's all stored on the third floor of his century-old home and we've got the nickel tour below:

The Bullfighters EULA2011-07-27 09:56:03
Kristen refuses to sign up for Google+ (see Google+ Scares Me). Her main complaint is that if you post something through Google+ they basically own it. But it's way more sinister than that.
If you use ANY of Google's services (like searching for a blog about Google), you've already agreed to their basic terms of service, including tracking what you're searching for and targeting ads based on that search, regardless of whether you're logged in. (See the full Google TOS.)
As soon as you set up an account to do anything with any of Google's properties, like watch a video that "some may find objectionable" on Youtube, you open up another set of rules. Now they can track what computers you're accessing their services from, so now they know where you search for "girls on the beach" versus "fixing a leaky garden hose." And, with a little Internet magic, they have a pretty good idea exactly where those computers are.
So, now you've let them know what you search for, where you live and where you work.
Next comes "protecting your account" by giving them your cell phone number. Seems every other time I log in they ask me for my cell phone number, which surprises me because I know they already have it in either my address book or because I have an Android phone. While they say, and I quote, We will never share your number or use it to send you unwanted messages. We promise. those promises are only as good as the current Terms of Service and those terms can change at their whim (see my blog Facebook owns this title).
And if you use a service like Google Docs, well... they own that too. Which means now they know not only where you live, work, your cell phone number, and what kind of stuff makes you chuckle, they know what you're doing for a living and what kinds of stuff you're pitching and to whom. Not that they bother looking... but they could, so they might.
I've never liked the implied acceptance of terms of service, but then you come to the Android apps. I honestly think that Google is trying to do the right thing by letting forcing you to accept the basic stuff you're letting programmers do with your phone, but it's frightening...
For example, the Google+ App tells you that it wants (among other things):

Big Picture Pass: DONE
1 novel
4 Acts
7 Anchor scenes
22 Chapters
65 Scenes
1 busy busy me
It was nice to sit down and read the entire thing with *ahem* minimal editing. (Sorry Lani! I couldn't resist a few dire editing moments... but most of the time I bit back and just took notes, I promise!)
There are definitely things that need major editing. And there are places that I absolutely love and want to read over and over again. That's a good balance, right?
Now I believe I have earned a night off. Our Netlix movie arrived today, so we will sit and watch Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (If you don't know... I am very into weird movies, giving most every movie a shot even if others say it sucks. Hence me liking stories that most people steer totally clear of.) Class is on sunday, and I think I will give myself tomorrow off to do things like... relax.
Total side note, but wanted to make a shout out to Keary, who finished her first draft of her book Eden today. She blogged about it on her blog here. This is book number four she has finished now... Keary, if I could be a smidge as awesome as you, I would be set! I can't wait to read it!
Ok all, I am signing out now. Time to turn off my writer brain, eat some chinese, and watch a flick.
Life can be good.

Gearogs database grew about 12% over the past year. That doesn't seem like much when comparing to Bookogs or Comicogs, but considering there's a hell of a lot less items of audio gear than there are books and comics, it's still pretty good.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed or made edits to Gearogs. We appreciate you making 2018 a great year for the Gearogs database.
What's new on Gearogs this year:
- The improved submission form makes adding a book to the database a breeze, as well as autosave in case you accidentally click out or close the window
- Filtering and sorting on browse pages to narrow down the database on your interests
- Better searching – get more info in the search bar dropdown, including images, so you click through to the right item
- More granular settings so you have more choice over how you interact with Gearogs
- Plenty more – check them out for yourself on Gearogs
Most Cataloged Gear Maker
If there was ever any doubt that the Japanese are absolute masters of producing audio excellence, let me dispel any doubts: 7 out of the 10 most cataloged gear makers are manufactured, or headquartered in Japan: Yamaha, Pioneer, Korg, Roland, Technics, Akai and Sony.
Moog (one of only two American companies among the most cataloged makers) made headlines earlier this year when they claimed Trump's trade tariffs, which included a 25% increase on electronic and tech goods from China, could force them to move production overseas. The company urged patrons to call representatives over the rising tariffs. We haven't heard anything more about whether they've avoided layoffs and disruption to their workforce, but we're hoping they can stay in their hometown of Asheville, North Carolina.
Comparing the Most Collected and Most Wanted Gear for the year to Mid-Year
Not much has changed in the most collected and most wanted gear since the start of the year, which goes to show – these items of music and audio gear are firm favorites for a reason. The only differences we see between mid-year and now are a few place changes.
Most Collected Gear of 2018:
- Technics SL-1210MK2 Turntable
- Technics SL-1200MK2 – Turntable
- Roland TR-8 – Drum Machine
- Korg Volca Bass – Synthesizer, Sequencer

After helping lead the Hiram College volleyball program to their best start in program history, Terrier senior captain, setter Holly Hoffman, has been named the North Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week.
The Terriers made it a 7-0 start to the season after earning a victory over Adrian College on Tuesday, and a trio of wins over John Carroll University, Capital University and Defiance College at the Case Western Reserve University Invitational. More impressively, however, is that Hiram won all four without dropping a single set, making it 21-straight set wins to open the year.
Thanks to her efforts, Hoffman was selected to the All-Tournament team over the weekend, finishing the three-match stretch with 31.1 assists, 9.3 digs and a pair of aces per match, all while playing in just nine sets.
For the week, Hoffman totaled 125 assists, eight aces, 40 digs and posted a pair of double-doubles. She first tallied a double-double against Adrian, posting 31 assists and 12 digs. She then finished the week with 25 assists, 14 digs and three service aces in a straight-set sweep of Capital.
Hiram remains the only undefeated team in the North Coast Athletic Conference at this current juncture of the season. Hoffman has been a big reason for that as she currently leads the NCAC in service aces (17), ranks second in assists per set (10.19) and ranks 11th in the conference in digs per set (3.38).
The NCAC Player of the Week award is the first in the career of Hoffman, and the first for a Terrier athlete during the 2018-19 season.
Hoffman and the rest of the Terriers will get back to work on Friday and Saturday, September 14 and 15, as they host the Hiram College Invitational in Price Gymnasium.

Do Something? Or True Sum Thinks, Honoring the Commitments of Time & Life's Values
Some people say, we want to do something when the time comes?
And then when the time comes, they say, we want to true sum thinks, when its time?
The time comes and passes by and they are yet caught between their affirmative proclamations which they fail to actually implement.
Their intent is pure and they have noble aims but if they do not truly seek to do what needs to be done truly in time, then by the time they want to do either somethings or sum thinks, the key element which is the time factor may have elongated the maximum possible and elapsed (not expired) and then they maybe caught fervently looking for signs of hope and possibilities, when the do somethings or the true sum thinks could actually manifest in the strategically vital instance and opportunity to do somethings after all?
But alas, sometimes, somethings and sum thinks only emerge and appear once in a lifetime, please do not take everything in life for granted or tend to be lethargic or irresponsible or ignorant or inept please for once the time comes, the time comes, there is no saying, time will come back? Yes, the time will come back for sure, but then the commitments of time that were not duly honored then became and came back with another set of consequences and prices to pay for and regardless of how much ever one may pray, implore, beseech, call upon even God's grace, the deliberate negligence of haughtily or carelessly saying – later, later, later and later…..? When the later might become too late+later, there is no denying that – that lateness has its penalties and prices to pay, so why not make careful note, prioritize and schedule, ensure that the needful reminders and essential time quotients are duly devoted to what needs to be done is done on time and not sometime and when sum thinks only arrive for by that time, there maybe other challenging factors demanding greater attention and responsibilities please, so please honor what you have been given, what is expected of you and also truly honor what you are accepting from life's greatest preciousness which is the incredible gift and wealth called time, learn to respect time and regulate your schedules impeccably for we don't have to recreate the wheel all over again or have to go through punishments or penalties to learn please. We are grown up and need to be responsible to out commitments, to our divine purpose, to our divine will, towards living our values and principles consciously and truly please, God Bless.
God Bless
May one and all be blessed with a vision of good health, happiness, and wisdom always, God Bless
Love, Light & Wisdom,

The climbing world is rich with plot, action, and "characters," often elucidated in the niche genre of climbing fiction. It's a niche where few succeed, maybe because, as the author Jeff Long put it, "Where does fiction belong in a sport that almost defies fiction?"
!0U!S L'fllHOHB'S
IOn Christmas Eve 1977, a Lockheed Lodestar plane crashed into a lake in Yosemite National Park's backcountry. When authorities located the crash site, the plane and its cargo of marijuana bales were already frozen beneath the lake. Authorities waited for the spring thaw to clear the crash site, but according to legend, a group of savvy climbers used chainsaws to recover the bales and made a killing re-selling the weed. The tale became the basis for the author and climber Jeff Long's novel Angels of Light, first published in 1987 and upon which the Hollywood cheesefest Cliff hanger was loosely based.
2 Publishers almost passed on Angels of Light "I originally approached Playboy," Long says, "They agreed to publish it in their Drug Issue, but they canceled the issue because of Nancy Reagan's 'Just Say No' campaign." Harper Perennial eventually agreed to publish the story, as a paperback novel, alongside Long's non-fiction Duel of Eagles: The Mexican and U.S. Fight for the Alamo.
3 Angels of Light wasn't Long's first foray into climbing fiction. In 1974, friend and fellow climber Michael Tobias submitted Long's psychedelic novella The Soloist Diary to Ascent magazine. The surreal story follows three climbers trapped on a wall, left to face their inner demons as they pass the hanging bodies of long-dead climbers.
4 French author René Daumal crafted one of vertical literature's most powerful and disturbing tales with Mount Analogue. The novel takes place on the allegorical Mount Analogue, an inaccessible summit said to Sink heaven and earth. Although only four and a
| half chapters long, the novel, with its abrupt, | mid-sentence ending, has left plenty of read-i ers frustrated. Paralleling Daumal's life arc, Mount Analogue didn't see publication until i 1952 —eight years after the author's untimely i death...before he'd completed the work.
5 In 1956, W.E. Bowman published The Ascent of Rum Doodle, which follows a i band of disaster-prone British climbers up the fictional Rum Doodle Mountain (40,000.5 1 feet). According to Bill Bryson's introduction, i many readers postulated that W.E. Bowman 1 was a famous climber's pseudonym - readers i believed the number 153, which appears [ throughout the novel, might be a clue to
Bowman's true identity. According to Bryson, i however, the only time Bowman saw moun-1 tains was on a trip to Switzerland, and the i number 153 was a childhood address.
6 The Ascent of Rum Doodle has a cult-like following and climbers have named peaks ■ and climbs after the book. Antarctica is home to the first Rum Doodle Peak, so-named in ' 1959, "There is a sleeping bag called Rum-i doodle, a climbing company, a horse, and even a rock band," Bowman's son Ghee Bowman i states on his website.
7 When the remains of her ex-boyfriend are found in the trunk of her car, world-class climber Darby Moore finds herself running i from the law in Kyle Mills' 2001 thriller Free Fall. Although Mills, a climber for nearly 20 i years, worked to make his climbing prose i accurate, fellow grimpeurs offered a couple 1 corrections. "I think it was John Sherman i who pointed out that I'd put Lactic Acid Bath in the wrong area at the New [River Gorge],"
Mills said. "I hadn't bothered to look it up because I'd once worked that route. My sense of direction has never been all that outstanding."
8 Clinton McKinzie, author and climber of 16 years, made climbing the subject of his book Edge of Justice. "Climbing is about the only activity I can think of where death is an ever-present possibility," says McKinzie. "One stupid mistake...and you're dead meat. What can be more suspenseful than that?"
9 Paul Watkins' The Ice Soldier (2005) captures the grim and gritty circumstances the British army mountaineer corps faced in the Italian Alps during World War II. The novel follows Captain William Bromley, an instructor for the British Royal Marines and veteran of the battle of Palladino, as he confronts the ghosts of his past and climbing partners lost. One passage from the novel states: "Climbing was for everyone...and anyone who didn't climb had missed out on one of the greatest joys on this earth."
And of course, many authors with no climbing experience choose mountain settings for their novels. Among Western novelist Louis L'Amour's 89 novels is Sitka, set in Alaska near the base of Mount Edgecombe. Romance writer Nora Roberts chose the Big Beit Mountains of Montana for her 2000 novel Montana Sky. Bestselling author Christine Feehan chose the Carpathian Mountains of Romania as the backdrop for her vampire/ romance thriller Dark Desire. "I love the mountains and the beauty of nature, especially forests," Feehan states. "They can add more scope, more ominous, dangerous situations, or a very beautiful, sensual atmosphere," e*""

New lines again and Ch.19
Ilya Kovalchuk- Jason Williams-Brett Sterling (did not see that one coming)
Kozzie's line stays same. They were amazing last night. Crusher moves to the fourth line so that means one has to sit out tomorrow.
The new chapter came out today. Amazing as always. Tucker come back…
Getting closer
Ugh. The Thrashers played well tonight. The powerplay worked. The fighting was the highlight. And Brian Little's amazingness. Too many penalties in the second.
This picture sums the night up. I just love his facial expressions. Rangers 3-2. event summary
Next stop Devils.
Poor Zach
Ya the results are back and Bogo has a fractured fibula. Well that's depressing. Bogo please get better soon. We really need you!
Well the Thrashers continue on tonight against the Rangers.
The new lines.
Ilya Kovalchuk- Erik Christensen -Jason Williams (Crusher with Kovy finally, Jason ?)
Slava Kozlov-Todd White-Bryan Little ( still the Little White Russian just a different Russian.)
Colby Armstrong-Marty Reasoner-Chris Thorburn (Army, Marty, and Chris. I just don't know yet.)
Eric Perrin-Jim Slater-Brett Sterling or Eric Boulton (I don't like to see Perrin here…)
Well thats it. Bogo got an MRI and some other stuff but no report back on that just yet. He did not go on the trip to NY and NJ. I really hope he's fine.
On another note Jimmie is completely pwning.
wow…wow. That was just ugly.
Kari was not focused and Kovy could not control his temper. Everyone looked really slow. Bogo got hurt in the first 20 sec of his shift. UGH now im going to go drown my self in the shower. I'll see you tomorrow.
It's what my lacrosse team works on EVERY practice. It's what makes our team able to get out of our zone and into theirs. If not used correctly things will not be so great, as seen last night. There I will not speak anymore on this. The second period was ugly. Blah.
And the hits just keep coming.
I will have more tomorrow. Boston 5-4.
My thoughts
Last night just shows us how good the Red Wings are and how the Thrashers are not used to Anderson's system. What I think the Thrash needs to focus on right now is playing the whole 60 min. The next thing is the powerplay. We are now 1for like 10000. Ok not really, but still try something different would be nice, like actually pass the puck around for a minute then take a shot and no stupid shots as one of my coaches would like to call them. Kovy stop trying to force it, let it come to you. Take a page out of Kozzie's book and be patient. Bogo, Hossa is not your fault, he's just really good. Over all I like the come backs. Next time it will be ours. Here's the game summary and the event summary.
Ya thats a goal.
Onward towards the Bruins at 7.
Mr. Hossa
This man is amazing. Red Wings 5-3.

Greg Hinz On Politics
Obama returns to life. But will it be enough?
So, "No Drama" Obama does have a pulse.
That's the big takeaway from last night's second presidential debate in which — at a bare minimum — Barack Obama more than demonstrated that he wants the job and is prepared to fight for it. In other words, he put his campaign and his base back on their feet, just as Mitt Romney did in the first verbal match.
It will take a while to see if Mr. Obama scored as heavily as Mr. Romney did a week and a half ago. But I think he did any number of things that well help him a lot in the run-up to Nov. 6.
First and most important, the inspiring Barack Obama of four years ago was back. He didn't smile while sticking the shiv in, as I suggested yesterday. Rather, he glowered and repeatedly stuck the knife in from the front — successfully.
Mr. Obama finally used the 47 percent stuff, accused Mr. Romney of having a one-point recovery plan (help rich guys like him), put key social issues such as women's rights and immigration back before voters and rather amazingly out-dueled the former Massachusetts governor on energy policy.
Barack Obama as Mr. Fossil Fuels? Puhleeze. But Romney, with a very sour look on his face, let him get away with it — and even the line that Mr. Romney might lower gasoline prices by sparking another recession.
Mr. Romney kept returning, successfully, to his core message: Why would you want to rerun the past four years? For those who believe that a man of business can bring business principles to the national government, that likely was a convincing argument.
But his repeated insistence that people "trust" him to deliver 12 million jobs is a big much to ask nowadays. So was his now-grating refusal to spell out in even vague detail who's going to lose how much of their deductions to make up for that 20 percent across-the-board cut in income tax rates, the termination of the inheritance tax and increased spending on the military. If Mr. Romney has a plan, he sure is keeping it buried.
He also stumbled on the "binders full of women" line, though I think his sentiment was good. And he got smacked down hard on an issue that should have been his: the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi. Mr. Obama indeed did refer to "terror" in remarks the day after the attack, but his administration then spent days afterward sending other messages. But Mr. Romney overstated, and thereby fumbled away what should have been his issue.
Mr. Obama wasn't perfect. My fault with him was the same it's been all year: What will be different in the next term? And, more specifically, what is his plan, his whole plan, to deal with the deficit? But Mr. Obama is getting away with vagueness on his deficit plan because of Mr. Romney's failure to get detailed on tax deductions.
One other takeaway from last night: Ordinary voters — civilians, if you please — ask some pretty good questions that my colleagues and I ought to keep in mind next time we're inclined to play inside baseball. I think the question to Mr. Romney about how he'd be different from George W. Bush got to the core of both Mr. Romney's and Mr. Obama's strategies.
Anyhow, edge to Mr. Obama. For now. On to next Monday in Boca.

Seafood Boss runs DC. Whatever else you may have heard is just bad info. Cause with an all lump crab cake like this, they must be pulling all the strings. It's not just that it's better than any crab cake you've ever had, it's that it's so good it'll have you questioning every other crab cake you've ever had. Why did you permit anything but lump before? How could you let that slide? These are the kinda questions you're gonna be swimming in. But have no fear - Seafood Boss is a benevolent boss. Instead of shame, it's only got fish for you. And fries. And other rotating sides like mac & cheese so good you'll wanna work for them. In a way you already do, though.
If you live in DC, you're living in Seafood Boss' town. And if you doubt that, give 'em a visit. You'll see DC in a whole new light once you taste what they've got cooking. Consider it work, without any of the work. It's a boss you can be happy to have, any day of the week.

Sports and Leisure Activities
Rome Subway Network
The Rome subway or Metro system runs on two main lines (Metropolitana A and B) that both intersect at the Termini station. The Metro takes anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes to arrive and is slower on Sundays. Subway trains should run until 11:30 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday and to 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
City Buses
The Rome city bus company is called ATAC. It is the most inexpensive option for getting around the city. Tickets cost €1.50 for 90 minutes; weekly and monthly passes are also available. Tickets must be purchased before getting on the bus at ticket machines (inside the Metro stations), tobacconist shops or ticket-lotto kiosks. Monthly or annual bus passes may also be purchased for additional savings and unlimited transport through their period of validity; single use tickets must be validated by punching them immediately upon entering the bus or metro line. Fines are very expensive for those caught without a valid ticket.
Most buses run from the early morning (about 5:45 a.m.) to midnight; some late-night buses run until the early morning hours. At each bus stop, students will find the bus numbers that pass through that stop, as well as a list of all the stops on their respective routes, and the times of operation.
Student Advisors may be contacted for more details.
Provincial and Regional Buses
The COTRAL bus company has routes that travel outside of Rome's city limits. Bus terminals are located near the following Metro stations: Anagnina (bus to Castelli Romani: Frascati, Grottaferrata, Castelgandolfo, Lake Albano), Laurentina (bus to Via Laurentina, via Pontina), Cornelia (bus to via Aurelia), Magliana (bus to Highway A12), Saxa Rubra (bus to Viterbo, via Cassia, via Flaminia, via Tiberina), Ponte Mammolo (bus to via Prenestina, via Tiburtina), Tiburtina (bus to via Nomentana, via Salaria). For bus routes, schedules and other information, see www.cotralspa.it.
Taking a taxi in Rome may be expensive, but taxis can be shared. It is strongly advised that students take taxis when returning home late at night. In Italy, taxis can be hailed or found at taxi stands in main city squares (Barberini, Termini, Piazza di Spagna), at train and Metro stations, and at the airport. They can also be booked via telephone for immediate pick-up or pick-up at a later time and date: call Radio Taxi in Rome at 06.3570, 06.8822 or 06.6645. When getting into a cab, the meter already shows an initial amount depending on the distance the taxi covered to arrive at the pick-up point. Rates vary widely, depending on the part of the city, the time of the day, and how many pieces of luggage the passenger may have. Cash is recommended: no checks or credit card are accepted for payment. Unlike in other countries, in Italy tips are not required.
Rail Travel
Italy's high-speed rail service makes all major Italian cities and major European destinations easily accessible. The Trenitalia website (national railway service) is well-organized and also available in English. Bookings and payments can be done easily online with a credit card. A free mobile app is even available (ProntoTreno) that makes scheduling and booking a snap. For information on real-time train arrival and departure see www.trenitalia.com or call 892.021 (without any code). Private speed trains are also available at competitive prices see www.italotreno.it.
The main train station in Rome is called Roma Termini. The fastest and cheapest way to get to Roma Termini from the LdM campus is by subway; LdM is located between the Repubblica and Barberini stops on the Metro Line A (Orange), which goes to Termini. Students can also take one of the many city buses to Termini.
Like all the main train stations in Italy, Roma Termini has departure and arrival boards showing departure/arrival times, main stops, delays, and track numbers. High-speed trains like the Freccia Rossa travel to every major city in the country in minimal time, however tickets are expensive; the Intercity trains travel to the same destinations but are slower and less expensive. The Diretto, Regionale and Interregionale operate within Lazio and the outlying regions; tickets can be purchased at the ticket area or at the automatic machines (both located inside the Roma Termini train station).
Air Travel
Rome Fiumicino International Airport, "Leonardo da Vinci" (www.adr.it) is the primary airport serving LdM Rome campus. Low cost flights to main European destination are also available at Rome Ciampino International Airport (www.adr.it/ciampino).
Getting to the Rome Fiumicino International Airport,"Leonardo da Vinci"
The train shuttle "Leonardo Express" is the best way to get to the Rome Fiumicino International Airport. It is directly connected with Termini railway station, the ride takes about 30 minutes and costs €14.
Getting to the Rome Ciampino International Airport
Rome Ciampino airport can be reached by means of different bus lines. Daily connections between the airport and Termini railway station are guaranteed by the bus services operated by ATRAL, COTRAL, SIT, Terravision and Schiaffini. At the airport, buses are parked in dedicated bus bays opposite International Departures. More information on bus time table, routes and fares are available on the airport website (www.adr.it/ciampino).

I'll be honest, I felt a little guilty about putting The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks on my list of 10 worst fiction books. So many people love Nicholas Sparks. ( And 3 people wrote into the comments to tell me how much they loved this book). Wasn't I being a bit of a kill-joy by being so harsh on this book?
I'm feeling slightly less guilty now, however, after having read Heather Havrilesky's take down of Nicholas Sparks on BookForum.
I don't actually read BookForum regularly (my loss, I'm sure), so I found out about this via Steve Donoghue's blog, who summed up the tone of the article thus:
Heather Havrilesky very patiently and mercilessly tears apart the literary output of Nicholas Sparks, concentrating on his new book, lavishing plenty of scorn on his older books, and along the way pithily reminding her readers why the potting of such an easy target matters
...of course to be perfectly fair about all this, I'm obviously not in Nicholas Sparks's target audience. So I suppose it's my fault for reading the book. In the same way I probably would absolutely hate the Twilight books if I ever read them, but then whose fault would that be?

I wish I'd thought of this sooner. Hopefully, I'll be around for at least another three years to apply it.
A friend suggested confusing people by dressing as "Santa Claus for Halloween." I said, "How about St. Nicholas for All Saints' Day."
We know the arguments that get bandied back and forth this time of year:
"Halloween is pagan, and that's a bad thing."
'Halloween is pagan, and that's a good thing."
"Halloween is about enjoying the thrill of being scared."
"Halloween is Catholic, and it's about mocking evil."
"Halloween/Day of the Dead prefaces the Feasts of All Saints and All Souls by remembering the damned."
Regardless, it has certainly been morphed into a time of great evil, and celebrating evil, and that needs to be reclaimed.
What better way to get that dialogue going than by referencing the three saints whose feasts (sort of, in one case) have come to be widely recognized as "secular" holidays?

Hellenic Shipping News:
OPEC has agreed to rollback overcompliance with the original production deal of November 2016. This appears to mean an increase among the voluntary over-complying countries of 450,000 b/d with the bulk coming from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE. However, the communique could also be interpreted as enabling an increase of as much as 1 million b/d, with some members replacing lost volumes from involuntary over-complying countries like Venezuela. At this point, the small step interpretation is more likely.

Welcome to my oldest project, Dark Goddess, first book of the Goddess Quartet, a dark fantasy series that I've had in my head for years and am finally getting serious about completing. As I move through my peer workshops and writing courses (because there is ALWAYS something to learn), I am amazed by the depths of these of characters.
Although, since they won't let me sleep well at night maybe I shouldn't be surprised? Anyway, I am super excited to take you all on this journey with me. We'll explore character sketches, concept art for regional and continental maps, bestiary entries, mythology and lore, and so much more! (Look ma! I rhymed!) Please be patient with me at first, friends, as "Projects" is a new fun thing for me to learn!
If you have helpful experience or tips please feel free to let us know in the comments as I post things about the features OR email me at firstname.lastname@example.com because I love when y'all keep in touch! Maybe we'll do a tutorial post on it later? Ok…that's all.
Much love to you fellow pirate mermaids!

Ballet Careers

As an aspiring or professional dancer, whose voice do you hear the most in your head? While you may think it's the voice of your teacher, ballet master or director, or perhaps even your friends and colleagues, it's most likely your own. Even when we're not speaking out loud, we're in constant dialogue with ourselves. But whether you're thinking about choreography or your to-do list, how does that voice sound?
In a field that is already hypercritical, let's pause and evaluate exactly what we're saying to ourselves. Is our inner voice helping, or could it be hurting?
