This book first caught my attention in an online ad many months before it came out, though I can't remember where. I'm the sort who finds cover art critical in influencing my fiction choices–which some may say is superficial, but I find that a good cover just sets the mood like candles might do for a romantic dinner–and this one had me hook, line and sinker.
It's lush, angsty, mysterious, dark and beautiful all at once. There was so little information available about the book (probably intentionally) that it only added to the mystique. I added it to my amazon wish list so I wouldn't forget about it. It's been at the top of my "books I will pay full price for" list ever since the release date, and last night I broke down and downloaded it to my Kindle Fire.
The $199 price tag of said device is the only thing that kept me from throwing the bloody book across the room when I finished it tonight.
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer starts off flawlessly. The first chapter features Mara, her best friend and a not-so-best friend playing with a Ouija board. This is a flashback, so we already know that Mara killed (or believes she killed) these girls, so you won't be surprised when the board spells it out for them. But WOW is it still creepy. (Go ahead, read the sample. I dare you. And then you'll want to read this book, and boooy you might regret it. But the prologue was magic.)
After the accident (or was it??) that claims the lives of her friends, Mara and her family move to a new city, and she starts a new school and attempts to make new friends. Which is all well and good, but the story slowly becomes more and more confusing from here on out. I get that we've got an unreliable narrator here. The girl has serious blank spots in her memory and might just be delusional and/or psychotic. One minute we're going along perfectly normal, and then she sees a dead girl's face in the mirror, or imagines (or does she??) something happening, or the dogs are afraid of her, or her brother is conspiring with her to keep her mom from having her committed….
The flow just didn't work for me. Even when Mara was telling us that she thinks she's hallucinating or that she's not, to theoretically give us some guideposts, I sometimes had trouble keeping up. It was more confusing than it needed to be to get the point across. The result was that I started skimming whole pages, trying to get to information that mattered.
Mara meets a guy, and he's one of those slightly snotty, slacker-y rebel types who just happens to be gorgeous and have a really rich family. All of the popular girls hate her because the guy, Noah, likes her where he's never truly liked any girl before her. Now, don't get me wrong. I can dig this sort of hero, given the right novel. Archer in Hex Hall, for instance, was fabulous. I gave Noah a real fighting chance to win me over, and while I can't say that I hated him (he was likeable enough, I suppose), he never really came to life. His relationship with Mara seems to happen because the plot mandates it will happen, not because of any real chemistry.
Some may lambast me for saying this, but…at least Bella and Edward had chemistry. *ducks*
Eventually, you learn that Noah has some secrets of his own, but I almost skimmed right past them, honestly. The revelation didn't blow me away, and neither did the subsequent pages as he and Mara try to figure out what's going on with her. Again, the flow was off. It felt disjointed, like each piece of the plot was a puzzle piece forced into place even though the shape wasn't quite right.
I was still dying to finish the book, because I kept waiting and waiting for the big reveal. I was trying to put all of the important bits together into all of the possible solutions, to see if I could guess it before the book was over.
What I figured out was that very little of that "important" stuff actually mattered, because the story stopped before it actually managed to use any of it.
That's right. It's a cliffhanger.
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that it's the first in a series? Well, APPARENTLY SO DID THE AMAZON PAGE. Sneaky bastards. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but COME ON. I'm getting really sick of young adult novels that give us no (and I do mean NO) resolution. Up until now, I thought it was relegated to Meg Cabot novels (Airhead pissed me off, but Abandon nearly made me give up reading her, for real) and a few others that I managed to avoid thanks to kind amazon reviewers, but this one caught me off guard. It really looked liked a standalone sort of novel.
Le sigh.
So. Long story short. I'm pissed off that it was a cliffhanger, and without any of the resolution that made me stick through an oddly confusing narrative, I'm not sure why I bothered. I'm pretty sure I won't bother with the sequel.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars (the half star for its potential and the cover art)
And the tally now is:
- The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey
- One Good Knight by Mercedes Lackey
- Fortune's Fool by Mercedes Lackey
- The Snow Queen by Mercedes Lackey
- The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

I built two cabinets that will support the desk and went ahead and primed everything (along with some parts of another project.) The desk cabinets are constructed out of leftover pieces of mdf on all sides except for the one side that will show.
Here is where I finally got to dry fit all the sections together to find out what needed fixin:
Right away I found the first thing that needed to be fixed. Because this house is just like every single other house out there the corners, ceiling and walls are not perfectly level, so I had rip 1/4" off of the 2x4's that I'm using as feet to lower the entire project so that it won't get caught up in the low spots of the ceiling. That meant then that the bottoms of the bookcases and cabinets now were not going to clear the base molding:
I spent a couple of hours pondering my options for a work around. I could trim the top sections so that only they will lower, but I didn't want to take those large pieces and try to keep them level while ripping. I could take the base molding completely off, but I tell you wuuut ... under that new, pretty, final coat of light yellow paint, is a coat of bright yellow paint that didn't make the cut, and under that is a different light yellow paint that ended up taking on a slight green tint so that didn't make the cut either, and then under that is 2 coats of primer to cover up the summer sky blue walls. Sooo ... those walls there have 6 coats of paint on them and I wasn't too keen on ripping out the base molding which would at the very least mean recaulking, and touching up the paint.
Instead, I decided to use the circular saw and ripped a notch in the baseboard. It was a very nerve wracking job for me because the circular saw is my least favorite power tool ... it scares me. Hey, I am a female and while I won't let myself be intimidated by the saw, I don't have a bunch of upper body strength and this job required me to hold the saw sideways against the baseboard. Whew, the weight of the saw plus the control that was needed to keep it level, that was bit of work ... but I did it! The depth was set pretty much just right and didn't rip the drywall apart ... double yay!
Once that was done, I put the sections together and check it out ... I put the levels on and I didn't need to do any tweeking!
Here's the left side dry fitted in:
And there be the whole project dry-fitted, including the desktop which is a little hard to make out in the picture.
Now I need to secure everything to each other and the walls. Then on to the doors for the cupboards below the desk, and then the trim, and then the curtains .... and on and on and on :)

What a beautiful spring day today. Allison and I walked to my Aunt Corrine and Uncle Jeff's house for my cousin Haley's First Communion Party. We had a very nice time spending the day with our extended family.
The photo today is of one of Jeff and Corrine's friend's kids. It was his first time on a motorbike. And he loved it. He was scooting around the backyard at 2 1/2 miles and hour and loving it.

Welcome to my tips blog for pastor's wives!
As a senior pastor's wife, few tasks are more difficult than visiting grieving families. Have you done it yet? If so, you know the pain can be so thick that it's almost visible. So heart-wrenching.
Sometimes it brings back past memories for you.
If you've ever grieved a love one yourself, such visits can also stir very personal memories. If you haven't, your heart will be heavy simply from a place of compassion and caring. Either way, it's not easy, is it?
Here are five tips to remember when visiting the bereaved. I hope they bless you:
Advice point #1: Be quiet.
One of the biggest mistakes people make (pastors and pastors' wives too) is to try to comfort through words. What a waste of time. In short, you have no words that can really do anything to soothe the piercing pain and shock. Don't even try.
Instead, turn to God's word. Still, use it very sparingly.
Yes, the Bible is the ultimate source of comfort, but when someone is severely stricken with grief, it may not be easy to digest. It can come across as "noise" to a person already emotionally overwhelmed.
For example, when you have a very traumatic emotional blow, it is very difficult to comprehend and mentally understand anything going on around you. I know in my own debts of grief, I felt like the room was spinning around me. Although scripture was somewhat soothing, it was a bit much to digest intellectually, emotionally and mentally.
I was most comforted by those that just sat with me.
Hence, I think the best thing to do is to sit quietly and just be "there". Be ready to do anything that is needed. It may be getting water for someone, washing a few dishes, being an extra pair of hands in another way or just a quiet comfort.
Someone's once told me that I blessed them, by holding their baby while they were managing a shock of bad news. Do whatever you need to do to be a blessing.
Again, keep your words few (unless the Holy Spirit guides);it's better to be silent than to say something that causes more or pain.
Advice point #2:
If the family knows you are coming to the home, you can always ask "what can I bring you?"
They will likely respond with "nothing".
So, be prepared to bring something you know they can use. I like to bring a case of bottled water or some other practical item. I've even purchased toilet paper and paper towels in bulk.
Trust me, they will likely have enough flowers before long, so a practical item can be a blessing.
Advice point #3:
Cast the care quickly. Although you'll be surrounded by grief and pain, you cannot internalize it. You must find the balance between being a loving support and taking on people's problems. God never intended us to carry other people's burdens, we just bear them for a bit. We shower them with prayer and compassion and then cast our (and theirs) cares upon the Lord.
He loves them so much and He will take wonderful care of them. He will use you to be a practical comfort, but the late nights of tears and pain are God's job –not yours. Let the Holy Spirit do His work. Do what you can, but don't internalize their hurts.
Advice point #4:
Dress comfortably. I know this sounds silly, but going to visit the bereaved looking like a beauty queen changes the dynamic and tone of the visit. I try to dress so I will blend in with the family.
This isn't the time to wear something that screams "Look at me!!!" or "I'm First Lady/Pastor's Wife!!!"
Think of how the Holy Spirit ministers: gently, quietly and in what the Bible calls a still small voice. Blend in.
Advice point #5:
Pray about taking someone with you. If I know the family well, I'll visit them alone or with my husband. However, if I am not very close to the family or do not know them, I always have someone go with me.
This is just a best practice and pure, old-fashioned wisdom. Everyone in the bereaved family may not be saved and handle pain in a variety of ways. Further, some neighborhoods may be more daunting than others. Take someone.
Bottom Line: be judicious with words. Be wise and try to be a blessing. Amen?

HTC Desire 310
Price: Ksh. 12,999
The HTC Desire 320 is a budget Android smartphone that launched early in 2015. The Desire 320 is part of HTC's renewed focus on the budget segment of the smartphone market.
Here is what the HTC Desire 320 has to offer.
HTC Desire 320 Technical Specifications
Display Size: 4.5 inches
Display Type: TFT capacitive touchscreen
Screen Resolution: 480 x 854 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 218 ppi
Screen Protection: None
You get a 4.5-inch TFT capacitive display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. This is not at all impressive considering that there are other numerous budget smartphones sporting a more refined display profile.
Frame Dimensions: 132 x 67.8 x 10.5 mm
Weight: 145g
HTC is a market leader in terms of sophistication in design. The HTC Desire 320 comes in a candy bar design featuring well rounded corners and a glossy polycarbonate exterior.
You can't really say that the design is striking, but I consider it satisfactory taking into account that the Desire 320 is one of the cheapest HTC smartphone on the market.
Operating System: Android OS, v4.4.2 (KitKat)
CPU: Quad-core 1.3 GHz
Internal Memory: 4 GB
Micro SD: Yes, up to 32 GB
The highlighted feature of the HTC Desire 320 is that it runs Android OS, v4.4.2 (KitKat) out of the box. This is in fact a highlight since it launched at a time when Android KitKat was the latest available version of Android.
A 1.3 GHZ Quad Core CPU powers the HTC Desire 320 which is super impressive. However, what I didn't like about the HTC Desire 320 is that it has a paltry 512 MB of RAM at an age when vendors are actively discontinuing 'low memory' smartphones from their catalogues.
Rear Camera: 5 MP
Secondary Camera: VGA
LED Flash: None
The HTC Desire 320 has a 5 MP rear camera that captures images at a 2592 х 1944 pixels resolution. You can't really poke holes about that, but what is irritating is that the Desire 320 has a VGA camera for self-shots AKA selfies.
The use of a VGA camera as secondary camera is a very risky move as younger smartphone buyers are now attracted to devices that offer a flawless selfie experience. Therefore, most would consider the use of a VGA camera a deal breaker.
Battery and Extras
Battery Capacity: Li-Ion 2100 mAh
It was awesome that HTC decided on a 2100 mAh battery for the Desire 320. This works well in boosting the battery performance of the smartphone.
HTC just like Apple, is all about designing premium smartphones. This core competency is clearly evident in its upper mid-range and high-end smartphones.
The downside to that competency is that HTC struggles to design entry-level smartphones. The HTC Desire 320 is, however, still a fine smartphone if you take its price tag into account.
However, once you consider what its price tag can get you in the market, you are simply left with brand loyalty as the main reason why you should ignore its rivals and go for it.
Why you should buy the HTC Desire 320
Powerful CPU
Impressive Battery Life
Cons of the HTC Desire 320
Weak Camera Specs
Rivals of the HTC Desire 320
Rivals of the HTC Desire 320 includes Microsoft Lumia 535 and Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.
Price in Kenya
The HTC Desire 320 has a suggested retail price of Ksh. 12,999 in Kenya.

New Photography Gear
I'm no gear addict, but I upgrade my professional photography equipment regularly to give my clients the highest value when they work with me. Recently, I've acquired some new gear, and seen some new developments in the professional photography equipment industry that have grabbed my attention…
New Professional Photography Equipment
I'm now the owner of three new photography tools that will help me increase the value I can offer clients.
- Nikon D800 – I love this full frame 36MP camera. I've been planning to change to this model for a while now.
- Orbis Ring Flash Modifier – Haha, I hear you already, "Ring flash is overused in portraits!!" But that's not what I bought it for. Nope, this handy little tool entered my studio for two reasons – using it as a general fill light for smaller studio shoots and, more valuably, using it for event photography.
- Manfrotto Monopod – Very useful bit of kit – good for steadying dSLR video work, supporting camera/lenses for sports photography, and small enough to be a mainstay in my bag for events and general photo walks.
And I'm seriously looking at digital medium format cameras. They are the standard bearer for professional photography equipment if you value the best image quality available. I have been ever since I got a Leica S2 on loan, back in 2012, and was stunned by the quality of the files for portraiture. But the price makes it quite prohibitive, and the sensors make it unusable in low light situations. Both of those factors were true of all digital medium format cameras, but it's looking like things are changing. Pentax are on the verge of releasing a new model in their medium format line, with a rumoured $8,500 price tag. Unfortunately for us Brits, we can likely convert that to Sterling just by substituting the $ sign for the £ sign. Still, it's a lot better than the £20k prices we were looking at just a couple of years ago. Let's hope this is the start of a wider price-drop in the digital medium format market. I'm planning to move to that platform anyway, but a price drop could see me make the change sooner rather than later. Check out more information here.
For location photography, I'm really tempted by the prospect of these Western Digital Pro Thunderbolt Raid hard drives. That's dual-drive RAID storage, powered from your laptop. Short of breaking the bank on a set of high-capacity Solid State Drives, this may well be both the fastest and safest option for data management while working on location. And here's more info about the WD drives.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), about eight million Americans suffer from eating disorders. Of these, seven million are women and the average age of onset of the disease is 19 years old. Considered one of the deadliest mental health disorders due to its detrimental effects on the healthy function of the body, anorexia requires immediate and comprehensive treatment.
Unfortunately, only 33.8 percent of those who struggle with anorexia will receive eating disorder treatment, according to NIMH. Whether they are ashamed to admit that they are living with the issue, don't want to risk gaining weight during treatment, or fear that they don't have the money to afford the help they need, patients should realize that anorexia eating disorder treatment is the only way to ensure a healthful return to functional relationship with food. Contact us today to find out more about the anorexia eating disorder treatment program options available near you.
Possible Causes of Anorexia
People who engage in the behaviors that make them candidates for anorexia treatment do not do so consciously. They fall into the potentially life-threatening patterns slowly over time. Although the causes of anorexia are not fully understood, there are some reasons that have been observed in many patients living with the disorder. Underlying issues can cause an individual to engage in anorexic behaviors. When these issues are not dealt with, they can repeatedly trigger the individual to use food or, in the case of anorexia, restrict food, in order to feel better or more in control. According to MedLine Plus, some of the possible causes include:
- Unresolved body image issues
- Low self-esteem
- Inability to give up control
- Low serotonin levels in the brain
- Unrealistic family expectations
- Depression
- Past or present physical abuse
- Sexual assault or molestation
- A variety of psychological disorders (especially when undiagnosed)
- Major life crisis
Quality anorexia treatment centers will not only help an individual to defeat the impulse to engage in anorexic behavior, but will guide them to understand what underlying issues drive those behaviors. When a person understands the situations and feelings that trigger their anorexic behavior, they are better able to replace their destructive coping mechanisms with healthy alternatives.
Obtaining a Diagnosis and Starting Treatment
As the saying goes, "The first step to getting help is recognizing you have a problem." This statement couldn't be more true for patients struggling with anorexia. Those living with this disorder do not consciously decide to start engaging in anorexic behavior. It is an insidious problem that takes hold slowly over a period of time. Unfortunately, most people with anorexia do not see that they have a problem. It generally takes health issues or the concerns of a loved one to make patients with anorexia understand that something needs to change (See: Anorexia Signs and Symptoms).
If you have concerns that you or someone you know may have anorexia, finding a mental health professional that can do an assessment would be the first step in getting help. Psychologists use a manual known as the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th edition) to help guide them in the diagnosis of their patients for disorders such as anorexia. The following criteria is how the DSM-V defines the behaviors that are connected to anorexia:
1.) A refusal or inability to maintain a body weight that is close to what is minimally normal, given the height and age of the patient.
2.) A fear of gaining weight, even though underweight.
3.) A skewed view of body shape, weight and image, including denial that the current weight due to anorexia is at a dangerous low.
4.) Amenorrhea, or lack of a menstrual period, for at least three cycles in a row in girls and women of age.
Due to individual differences, a person does not necessarily have to have all of the above criteria in order to be diagnosed with anorexia. This is an introductory guideline mental health professionals use to determine how severe an individual's anorexic behavior has become.
Prioritizing Medical Stabilization
Those who suffer from anorexia are depriving themselves of essential nutrients and the calories (energy) they need to keep going. The psychological aspect of anorexia is serious, but the physical health of the patient must be stabilized first. Without medical assistance, anorexia is a long, slow death. Highly qualified anorexia treatment centers are the best way to overcome the potentially life-threatening behaviors associated with this disorder. Without treatment, approximately 20 percent of those battling anorexia will die. With treatment, that statistic drops to between two and three percent.
Types of Treatment
Inpatient anorexia eating disorder treatment is most often described as the most effective method for treating anorexia. However, outpatient options are available as well for those who find that it better fits their lifestyle. Anorexia treatment is intensive and deals with the physical and the emotional elements of anorexia. Regular medical care and support available around the clock can ensure a successful recovery and peer support can be invaluable, according to Eating Disorders Anonymous. Developing positive relationships with others who are also struggling with eating disorders and with staff members who are there to help can be effective in both inpatient and outpatient anorexia eating disorder treatment programs. Specific types of anorexia treatment include:
- Inpatient medical care. When physical health is a priority, inpatient facilities provide a hospital-like setting and focus mainly on the medical issues surrounding anorexia. Constant structure and supervision are provided to ensure that the patient sticks to their treatment plan.
- Residential anorexia treatment. The goal of a residential treatment center is to provide a home-like atmosphere for recovering patients. Physical stabilization is monitored and maintained but the focus of treatment is on the psychotherapeutic progress of the patient as he or she works through underlying issues that drive the anorexic behavior.
- Supported living. In some residential anorexia treatment programs, patients are expected to perform all the skills and chores associated with daily living. They will generally do their own shopping, cooking, cleaning and laundry. This allows the patient to learn how to live free of anorexic behavior while still enduring the presence of daily stressors in order to develop new skills that will allow them to maintain their recovery. It also lets the patient incorporate food-related activities like food shopping and cooking with professionals present who are experienced in helping them to cultivate healthy behaviors around these endeavors.
- Outpatient anorexia treatment. About 75 percent of those who enroll in anorexia treatment opt for outpatient services because they can return home each night, maintain work and school schedules, and remain actively involved in their children's lives. Less expensive than inpatient treatment, different programs will offer different services, allowing patients to create a treatment plan that fits their needs.
Treatment Services
A wide range of anorexia treatment services is available to patients in different types of programs. These help the patient to heal both during a treatment program and after they have returned home. Some common anorexia treatment services include:
- Nutritional Counseling. Nutritional counseling is instrumental in assisting anorexics in learning how to have a positive relationship with food. Someone with anorexia has taught herself that starving is a "healthy" way to live. In anorexia treatment, nutritionists and physicians teach patients about the devastating consequences of anorexic behavior on the body and what a healthy, well-balanced diet looks like.
- Structured Meal Time. Patients will learn how to plan meals that are nutritious and have enough calories to reach or maintain a normal weight range. Shopping for and cooking meals are part of treatment for anorexia as many patients have not had healthy habits around these tasks in years. If a patient needs to gain weight, her meals will be around 3,000 calories a day. For those who have worked to reach a healthy body weight, they will eat around 2,200 to 2,500 calories a day for maintenance.
- After Meal Supervision. Usually for at least one hour after each mealtime of the day everyone in a residential anorexia treatment spends time together. This ensures no one in the group can go purge their food in secret. This amount of time can seem excessively long if you're alone, but goes by much faster when there are other people to talk to having the same experience.
- Journaling. Keeping a daily journal has many benefits for someone undergoing anorexia treatment. Usually these individuals keep their feelings inside and don't reach out to others for support. Learning to get in touch with emotions and write down thoughts, fears and anxieties can be a therapeutic undertaking. Residential anorexia takes this process a step further and has everyone read their journals aloud to the group. This teaches someone to share their emotions with others and that they can learn from and relate to others people's stories as well. This helps those struggling with anorexia start forging much needed social connections and friendships.
- Art Therapy. This is a great way to provide individuals time to socialize in a less pressured situation where they have another distraction. They can also engage in a creative process to express their feelings. Many times art becomes a source of emotional release that patients continue to use once they leave their residential anorexia treatment program.

We can match you with a comprehensive anorexia treatment option that will address your personal food issues and provide you with the medical and psychotherapeutic help you need to heal.
What to Expect From Treatment
The specifics of eating disorder treatment can vary depending upon the treatment center, but most will start with psychological and medical assessments to get a baseline for your treatment program. From there, you will make appropriate treatment goals and map out a plan for how you will reach them. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health, anorexia treatment should include:
- Psychological assessment. Underlying psychological conditions like depression and anxiety are common in anorexics and often identified during anorexia eating disorder treatment. About 50 to 75 percent of those with anorexia are also living with a major depressive disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorders, anxiety and addiction are also common among anorexics. The correct protocol for treatment can be determined based on the results of initial evaluation and diagnostic services.
- Physical assessment. The behaviors of anorexia wreak havoc on the physical body. About 20 percent of anorexics will die from the illness due to cardiac arrest or suicide, and most patients entering treatment are in extremely frail condition. The state of each patient's physical health will be gauged for treatment.
- Addiction treatment. About 12 to 18 percent of anorexics live with drug and alcohol addiction. Treatment can be received for both disorders simultaneously at Dual Diagnosis treatment facilities.
- Nutrition classes. Educational workshops should be included in anorexia eating disorder treatment to help anorexics better understand healthy eating and learn how to maintain weight in a healthful way.
- Counseling. Psychological counseling helps anorexics to address their aversion to food in addition to the underlying psychological issues. Self-esteem, depression, trauma and other common factors are tackled during psychological treatment.
Benefits of Getting Help
Because the negative consequences of anorexia permeate every aspect of the patient's life and experience, so too will the benefits of receiving proper medical and psychotherapeutic care to address the issue and improve quality of life in a number of areas. Some benefits provided by a comprehensive anorexia treatment include:
- Learning to build friendships
- Strengthened social skills
- Decreased feelings of loneliness
- Gaining the understanding that success and failure are all part of recovery
- Peer and therapeutic support that provides encouragement on the difficult days to continue treatment
- Bolstering against relapse
- Increasing or developing self-esteem

Matt, Mike -- thanks!
Mike, I bought the 'blad a few months ago, and then I couldn't resist Cindy Flood's Mamiya 7 when it was available a few weeks ago. They are both great, and offer very different shooting experiences -- go for a 'blad too they are great!

I'll probably own a 'blad at some point. I'd have to figure out which camera(s) and lens(es) to give up first, though. I love them all. So, it's tough .
I really like this photo, though I see certain technical things that some might not care for (flare, black blacks). On the other hand, the geometry is undeniably interesting, as is the overall arrangement of tones and textures. Good stuff!

These look great. Did you get the black or silver model? Sweet looking camera.
I got the black one. The kit I got came with the lens hood and case, usually they are extra. The build quality is very nice, it's a little smaller than I expected, and lighter. Very easy to take everywhere. Everything on the roll I shot was exposed properly, and the autofocus is quicker than I expected - at least as good as my Canon G10.
Cheers, Matt
Cheers, Matt
I am really in deep smit with Medium Format at the moment...
ScottG, You are really going to town. I would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite from this set. They are all wonderful.
Would you comment on the aspects of Hassy vs the Mamiya 7?
Cindy, Maggie, Carl -- wow, thanks for the encouragement!
Cindy, the Hassy and Mamiya are really 2 different animals. The Hassy is unlike any camera that I have used, and honestly that is a large part of its appeal. Square format, big, heavy, loud shutter, but also brilliantly engineered. Focusing is fast and easy, and I love the 150mm Zeiss Sonnar, it really fits with what I have been shooting lately. Handheld shooting is not a problem. I normally just carry a camera with a wrist strap and put a few rolls of film in my pocket. The Hassy is too big for that, so I have shoulder strap on it, but the size doesn't really bother me.
As you know better than most, the Mamiya is very portable, and unbelievably quiet. Very much like a large Leica M. Easier to shoot handheld than the Hassy, especially at slower shutter speeds. I am slightly burned out on rangefinders, so the Hassy is getting more use at the moment, but I plan to use the 7 more frequently soon.

Work Groups, Structural Diversity, and Knowledge Sharing in a Global Organization
Effective work groups engage in external knowledge sharing--the exchange of information, know-how, and feedback with customers, organizational experts, and others outside of the group. This paper argues that the value of external knowledge sharing increases when work groups are more structurally diverse. A structurally diverse work group is one in which the members, by virtue of their different organizational affiliations, roles, or positions, can expose the group to unique sources of knowledge. It is hypothesized that if members of structurally diverse work groups engage in external knowledge sharing, their performance will improve because of this active exchange of knowledge through unique external sources. A field study of 182 work groups in a Fortune 500 telecommunications firm operationalizes structural diversity as member differences in geographic locations, functional assignments, reporting managers, and business units, as indicated by corporate database records. External knowledge sharing was measured with group member surveys and performance was assessed using senior executive ratings. Ordered logit analyses showed that external knowledge sharing was more strongly associated with performance when work groups were more structurally diverse. Implications for theory and practice around the integration of work groups and social networks are addressed.

text: Where were you able to find a distributor for $185ish; Neither Blaufergnugen or GPR were able to get anywhere near that price (I'd heard both 300 and 400 dollars). Also, checked my new rotor against the currently installed one, and low and behold it was the wrong wide one. Guess I was going on the assumption that Blaufergnugen would pretty well likely send me the correct piece. Looks like I'll be returning that one. And Paul, the thread you ran about the distributor back in July was the one I had previously found; I guess I just didn't remember combing the archives that far back, but did vividly remember seeing the information. Thanks all again. Derek Pulvino

Torsten Ullman is one of those rare boys who decided to select a stage name that he came up with by himself. He came to BelAmi more than 2 years ago but George Duroy decided to not release any scenes until now for fear that we would put in a lot of effort and then he would change his mind.
As it turns out that didn't happen, and by now all his friends know about his career with us and in fact as a result of his work for us, his demand as a hairdresser in a regional town in Czech republic has exploded (Torsten is fairly serious about become the best he can as a hairdresser).
He is also flexible and very sexual with barely any inhibitions. At this point he is part of our 'Musketeers' team and will be part of a new reality series George Duroy is planning to shoot around them.

Parade honours those who made the ultimate sacrifice
The mayor of a French village destroyed in a World War One bombardment joined forces with Orangemen at the weekend to commemorate the Battle of the Somme.
Lodges from across Co Down and further afield paraded from Conlig to Newtownards, symbolising the route taken by the 36th Division a century ago when leaving the nearby Clandeboye Estate en route to the battlefields of France.
Joining Grand Master Edward Stevenson at the wreath laying was Mayor of Thiepval and guest of honour, Max Potie.
The original village of Thiepval in northern France was on the Somme front in 1916, and was flattened by bombing during the bloody conflict.
Saturday's parade halted briefly at Newtownards War Memorial for a silent tribute, before a short religious service in Londonderry Park, including an address by local historian, Dr David Hume.
The memorial event also incorporated a family day of World War One exhibitions and displays at the Somme Museum.
Meanwhile, history came alive for thousands of spectators in Carrickfergus on Saturday as 'King William' returned to the Co Antrim town for its annual pageant.
One of the most colourful events in the parading calendar, it marked the 326th anniversary of William of Orange's arrival, and comes ahead of the Twelfth of July celebrations next month.
Spectators saw a re-enactment of King William being rowed into the town's harbour to be met by soldiers, dragoons and dignitaries dressed in period costume, before he then led a parade on horseback through the town.

This is my favourite summer starter. It is refreshing, tasty and accompanies grilled meats, curries, any type of spicy food or calorie-counter diets fabulously. It is also versatile and easy to prepare. My recipe is adaptable to any number of guests and to suit all types of palates.
- Yield
- 2 - ??? Serving bowl
- Cucumber (one average for two persons)
- Salt, pepper
- Fromage frais or natural unsweetened yogurt
- Fresh mint(optional)
- Aniseed (optional)
- Pomengranate seeds (optional)
- Raisins(optional)
- Paprika (optional)
- (Based on 1 cucumber/ 2 persons) Grate cucumber and mix with fromage frais or unsweetened yogurt till desired consistency, more or less two cups (must be thick but homogeneous). Blend in some salt and black pepper (to taste), a teaspoon of aniseed and about 20-30 leaves of chopped fresh mint (discard stems). Reserve a few of the top or "budding leaves" (or the nicest ones in the bunch) for decoration. Place in fridge for about 30 min to an hour. This can also be prepared the day before, decorating at the last minute. When serving, place in big serving bowl and add a few non-chopped leaves for decorating. A few pomengranate seeds or dried raisins can be added for a sweet-and-sour alternative. In this case, omit the mint leaves but keep the aniseed. Use either pomengranate or dried raisins. If you don't like aniseed, paprika is a great alternative. In this case, omit all other additions except salt and pepper.

So, what happened to the Crawley News?
Did you hear the news? The Crawley News is sadly no more....
We have a range of Crawley advertising opportunities that will suit local businesses, causes and larger companies in the Crawley and West Sussex area. While we specialise in making videos for prospective clients, we do have a number of other options for those with smaller budgets that still want to take advantage of our extensive reach within the local community. You can read more about our offers below but if you would like to talk to someone directly, please contact Will Bower at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Want to gain exposure and boost your brand within the local area?
We reach 1000s of locals every week and offer several methods of advertising to Crawley and other local areas.
Here are a number of ways you can get your brand out there with Crawley TV:
Leaderboard Ad Banner
This is a banner which sits at the top of every page on the website beneath the menu, stretching across the screen. This option is only available to one company at any time so we ask for £75 per week for exclusive rights to have your logo/info at the top of every page for all to see (you can't miss it!).
Side Bar Ad
This is a box shaped ad which sits at the side of pages throughout the website. These boxes are priced at £35 per week.
Video Sponsorship
Videos are shared on our website as well as through local media outlets but also across several social media streams and around communities by our fans, so having your logo at the end of one of our videos is a great way to gain a high level of exposure through Crawley advertising. Prices start at £100 for each video you sponsor, with your choice of content stream and discounts can be offered when multiple videos are sponsored.
Local Business Spotlight
Each month we will be doing profiles on local businesses in the area, what their business is, their mission and what they have to offer the Crawley public.
This is a very bespoke sponsorship piece where we essentially film a promotional video for your company to use as you wish, but also put it out to a large audience of residents for direct Crawley advertising.
This is a tailored product offering a corporate video and exposure at the cost of just £575 a day filming.
Please contact us if you wish to speak about these offerings. As mentioned, we are able to do discounts on long-term sponsorship and generally encourage a 3-month stint initially to review and move forward there after.

Message from President Molly Cherry - International Women's Day
Today, March 8th, is International Women's Day (IWD). IWD celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. We have a lot to celebrate when it comes to women lawyers in the state of South Carolina. In my first president's letter a month ago, I encouraged you to be engaged with SCWLA's mission; to be an example; to be involved. And, you have responded. Over the course of the last month, I have received a number of motivating and insightful messages from many of you with ideas for enhancing the status, influence and effectiveness of women lawyers in our state; goals for running for office; examples of influential women lawyers and offers to give presentations or serve as mentors.
Based on some of the thoughts you have shared, SCWLA recently formed a Public Service Committee to provide educational opportunities for members who may be interested in running for office, among other things, including planning legislative and judicial panel events. Many thanks go out to Laura Patton, who volunteered to head the committee, and some of our many members who have already stepped up to help: Ellen Baab; Eve Moredock; Kristen Nichols; Lindsey Jacobs; Megan Stevens; and Rebecca Wheeler. This looks like it may be one of our larget committees to date!
I urge you to continue looking for and making opportunities to be engaged with and on behalf of SCWLA. The theme for IWD this year is: "Be Bold for Change." Many SCWLA members already are, and we want to hear about and share it, especially today, March 8th, on International Women's Day. You can follow and tag SCWLA on Instagram @scwla_briefcase; on Twitter @scwla_briefcase; or on Facebook at @scwla or @scwomenlawyers.
Let us know about South Carolina women lawyers who are being brave, fearless, heroic or strong for change. Share with us how others are being confident, bright or impactful for change on behalf of women lawyers. Post a picture and show us how you are being bold for change this year. Use these hashtags: #BeBoldforChange #scwomenlawyersrock #IWD2017 #internationalwomensday #scwla

Have you ever wanted to make your Google Sheets spreadsheet collaborative so others could edit data that is pertinent to them, but you were afraid they would edit the data and formulas you spent hours on? Me too! Spreadsheets can be an amazing tool for people, but intimidating for others. You don't want to send edit rights to someone who doesn't know how to use Google Sheets without some limitations. Well, with Protected Ranges, you can send rights without undue stress.
Lock Cells, Ranges, or Sheets
On any Google Sheets spreadsheet, you can choose individual cells, cell ranges, or entire sheets to be protected from people with rights. This is like giving someone can view rights on an entire document, but edit rights on one tiny cell.
Within your sheet, select the cells you want to be editable. Once you do that, go to Data>Protected sheets and ranges.
Once you do that, you will see a sidebar open on the right side of the screen. There will be a clickable area that is titled after the cell range or sheet you have selected.
Once you click on there, it is time to give edit rights to others. Enter a description of the people you will be giving rights to. Joe Smith or Accounts Payable, etc. Next, click 'Change Permissions' and add the people or groups you want.
In this situation, you are likely choosing custom and adding people to the sheet this way. But you may choose to add people to entire Sheets and choose cells that only you can edit. You may also want to choose to only show a warning when people try to edit these cells. Maybe you want them to be able to edit, but you want them to know those are vital cells. After settings permissions for one cell range, you can also copy those to other cell ranges in different parts of the spreadsheet.
Like any skill or tool, the best way to learn it is to try it. Next time you create a collaborative Sheets, share it this way as opposed to the traditional way and see how it works for you.

Jazz Vocalist Kurt Elling in Victoria

Vocalist Kurt Elling to Appear in Victoria
In a career spanning just ten years, Chicago-based Kurt Elling has risen to international prominence as a jazz artist and singer. Each of his six albums for Blue Note records have been nominated for a GRAMMY award and he will be releasing a new Blue Note recording in February 2007. His quartet, Laurence Hobgood piano, Rob Amster bass and Willie Jones drums, has toured the world, performing to critical acclaim in Europe, Japan, Canada, Israel, Australia and the U.S, including last performing in Victoria at JazzFest International 2004. He has topped the Down Beat Critics and Jazz Times Readers' polls every year since 2000 and he has won the Jazz Journalists' Association award for "Best Male Vocalist" twice and earned the "Prix Billie Holiday" from the Academie du Jazz in Paris. He is currently artist in residence for the Monterey Jazz Festival.
Kurt Elling's rich baritone voice spans four octaves and displays an astonishing technical facility and emotional depth. Elling has an awesome command of rhythm, texture, phrasing, and dynamics, often sounding more like a virtuoso jazz musician than a mere singer. His repertoire ranges from his own compositions to modern interpretations of standards, both of which can be the springboard for free form improvisation, scatting, spoken word, poetry, and rants.
One of Kurt Elling's major contributions is as a writer and performer of vocalese, the art of putting words to improvised solos of jazz artists. The natural heir to jazz pioneers Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure, and Jon Hendricks, Elling is the contemporary voice in vocalese, setting the solos of Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett, Dexter Gordon, Pat Metheny, and others to his own deeply spiritual and compelling lyrics, an approach that reminds us of the beauty of the original music and opens us up to a fresh vision.
In conjunction with the Kurt Elling's performance in Victoria, he will conduct a jazz vocal workshop/clinic at Alix Goolden Performance Hall (Thursday, February 22, 3 – 4:15pm) for area music students (general public is also welcome), as part of the Victoria Jazz Society's "Student Outreach Program". Registration for this workshop is free – please contact the Victoria Jazz Society office at 388-4423 to register. Space for this workshop is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Competition brewing as consumers tire of traditional beer
German brewers pride themselves on the 500-year-old purity law which states that only water, malt, hops and yeast can be used in their beers. But craft beer fans argue that those beers, pure or not, lack flavor and character.

During Saturday night's game, the camera panned over to the Leafs bench where rookies Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner were sitting and caught them singing along to the in house music "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi.
It is kind of a sweet moment between the guys. The two of them realized the clip had gone viral on social media so they had a little fun with it on Twitter.
But then… the BIG GUY EVEN TWEETED AT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So awesome!!!!!! You can watch the video of them below!

Ham and Cheese Wrap
Ok, so I'm not going to lie to you and tell you it wasn't a little hard to eat. But it was well worth all the effort. It was so tasty. Absolutely delicious. And because the dressing had almost all the ingredients in it as the wrap did, it went together perfectly. Read More

We joined a CSA! A friend of mine was posting about a local company that will deliver fresh fruits & veggies right to your door. When I read that I thought to myself, "Well, no more excuses." I knew that if we joined a CSA but I had to go pick up the box, I would miss a week here or there. But if they'll bring it to me? Love. And now that I'm doing a weight-loss challenge (today is Day #1!) it will help a lot that I have fresh stuff to eat.
Now, every Wednesday is Squeeze Play Day. Sometime in the morning they bring a box of fresh veggies & fruit to our door. I'm never quite sure what they'll bring, but it's always beautiful, plentiful and organic. How awesome is that?
If you are in California and interested in finding a CSA in your area, you should check out Abundant Harvest Organics. They have a ton of locations where you can sign up for the same kind of thing, though I'm sure it varies area to area. One thing I love about our particular CSA is that they charge us weekly, which is nice for our budget. We don't have to pay for an entire season all at once.
Here are some photos of things we've received in our first few boxes. They make for fun photography practice, too.
Time to open the box!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
And these peas; Oh, my they were so tasty! We cooked them with our butternut squash ravioli and it was heavenly- didn't even need sauce. Just a bit of olive oil & salt, good to go. YUM.
We love you, Squeeze Play! Thanks for making it possible for us to get good, organic produce!
Note: I was not compensated for this post. I am totally writing about it because I love Squeeze Play and think they are all rad. No freebies here- just the real deal, folks.

CSA's are great, using fresh locally grown food rocks!
You captured those fresh produce items so beautifully! I love that there is now a CSA that will deliver to your door! Ah-mazing. I need to do this. Cuz it looks like I won't do the garden this year – life has gotten too busy.


text: difficult child has reading comprehension problems and has extra help within his classroom and one hour each week after school. He cannot stand going and gives husband and I such a hard time. Apparently out of the 12 kids in his afterschool program 6 or more quit with their parents permission. He has cried, screamed, pouted, etc. and relied heavily on " Well the other kids quit!" Anyhoo, last week before I dropped him off for school he gave me such a hard time. The ride to school was h**l ! When I picked him up at 4:30 I expected him to come out and freak on me. Instead he said (very cheerfully I might add) "Hey Mom, guess what? I have perfect attendance in my after school group and I may qualify for a surprise gift at the end of the program and I sure hope I am not sick on the days I have to go" I could do nothing but laugh ! This kid is a real trip ! Shelly

If you would like to share your experience of hope and recovery from sex addiction–either as addict or spouse–by means of an original and previously unpublished writing, we would love to hear from you. Use the handy form below. For longer submission, email us at Writers [at] RowboatAndMarbles [dot] org. No compensation will be provided for articles chosen for publication. Articles are subject to editing for content, length and clarity. Attribution will include the writer's first name, last initial and state of residence, unless the writer desires anonimity. In keeping with the tone of the website, submissions should be written from a general perspective of hope and encouragement with emphasis on a positive experience of recovery through one of the 12 Step programs. To the extent possible, criticism of the LDS Church should be kept to reasonable minimum. The creators of this site acknowledge that the Church has been slow to recognize the reality of sex addiction and even slower to address the needs of those suffering–whether addict or spouse. Nevertheless, we also strongly believe that the local Church leadership is currently in an ideal position to reach out to those in need if they can only be equipped with the tools necessary to help recovery take root. As recovering addicts and spouses of addicts, we have those tools and want to share them in the best way possible. Writings published on this website should further that goal.

How we react and respond to broadcast and published news reports has a lot to do with us, and not necessarily with what the story is about or how it's presented (that said, you can see HUGE differences in the treatment of the same story when channel dropping between CNN and Fox). And while your mileage may vary, your perception of 'honest and fair' often has a lot more to do with you rather than with the writer or reporter.
On the national stage, the current health care debate (which seems to be more of a shouting match than a debate, or is that just me?) is driven in no small part by how much health insurance each of us has, or doesn't have. The impetus for 'reform' isn't motivated, necessarily, by a desire to make health care more affordable and/or accessible for people who already have it, but for people who do not.
If you are one of the (about) forty-seven million with no coverage, your interest and desires are in all likelihood very different from someone who has health insurance who, in turn, may feel very differently both from you and from someone who is unhappy at the cost or coverage he/she currently has.
Another example, this time at the state level. In Connecticut, the Governor (a Republican) and the State Legislature (Democratic super-majority in both houses) are still poles apart on a budget for a fiscal year that began a month ago. Each side has reached the inevitable conclusion that the other side is awful, uncaring and quite possibly eats bugs. Eventually they will come to a meeting of the minds somewhere between the Governor's 'principled' position and the 'citizen-driven concerns' of the Democrats. This happens all the time--doesn't make it a lot of fun just because it's routine, and there is something about familiarity that does breed contempt, I guess.
At the inter-personal relationship level, the song remains the same. If your significant other, business partner, golf buddy or employer were only as reasonable as you and I, they would do what we want, because when we say 'be reasonable' we mean 'do it my way.' In theory the purpose of language is to better define differences and distinctions but everyday and every way we get better and better at using language to obscure and diffuse. Sometimes less words can equal more meaning, ask Alice.

The Indians and the Yankees are both trying to get on track as the three game series begins in New York. Check for MLB odds at Oddsmaker sportsbook.

The Indians (30-26) are still four games over .500 despite struggling lately. Cleveland won five games in a row and were nine games clear of the .500 mark before going in to quite the downswing. In their last 10 games, the Indians have just won three of them and five in a row at one point. The Indians are coming off a series against the Rays and Tampa Bay won two of them. In both losses, the Indians were outscored 20-5. Justin Masterson is starting on Monday and will try to get the Indians back on track. Masterson is 8-3 on the season so far with an ERA of 3.07.
The Yankees (31-25) are playing some of their worst baseball of the season right now. They are coming off two losses against the Red Sox, including an 11-1 drubbing. Before that series, New York lost five in a row, including four games to the New York Mets. New York is just 1-7 in their last eight games. Andy Pettite will try to get the Yankees back on track when he starts against the Indians on Monday. Pettite is 4-3 this year.

The Indians are 25-31 against the spread and the Yankees are 30-26 ATS. One of these teams has to win a game for once and pitching will do the trick. Masterson will have the edge on Monday and the Indians will win at the sportsbooks.

The appreciation for Clayton Kershaw trickled through the Dodgers dugout during his outing against Colorado last week. Accolades are customary for his performances on the mound, but these he earned with a bat in his hand.
After falling into an 0-2 count against Rockies starter Tyler Anderson, Kershaw held back on a pair of cutters that missed the strike zone, then fouled away a 93-mph fastball on the outer edge to extend the at-bat.
"Man," backup infielder Rob Segedin joked to hitting coach Turner Ward, "he's got the best two-strike approach on the team."
The discipline and intensity that define Kershaw as a pitcher extend to his performance inside the batter's box....

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of high fat diet on endurance capacity and oxidative enzyme activities in rat skeletal muscle.Male Wistar rats were assigned to either a high fat diet and a low fat diet group. They ate these diets ad libitum for 5 weeks. Although triceps muscle glycogen concentration in the high fat diet group was about half of that in the low fat diet group, swimming capacity was significantly higher in the high fat than in the low fat diet group. The high fat diet induced significant increases in citrate synthase (CS) and 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (3-HAD) activities in triceps muscle (23% and 47%, respectively).Wistar rats were fed one of four diets : low fat (12% calories as fat) , lard (60% calories as fat) , safflower oil (60% calories as fat) , or fish oil (60% calories as fat). There were no significant differences in body weight among each diet group. Epidydimal adipose tissue weight was higher in lard and safflower oil groups than in low fat. Safflower and fish oil diet induced significant increases in CS and 3-HAD activities in red portion of gastrocnemius muscle.These results suggest that long term feeding of a high fat diet increases mitochondrial enzyme activities in skeletal muscle, and these increases might induce glycogen sparing and thus improve endurance.
