Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let
her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must
come; make her laugh at that.
"Hamlet" Act 5, Scene 1
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a boy and my first love was Princess Leia. She gave me a new hope, as I was a little short for a Stormtrooper. She was a gritty yet groomed challenge of the pop-culture conundrum of womanhood—valiant enough to chide Darth Vader, vulnerable enough to admit she loved Han Solo. Princess Leia of the Star Wars saga was a mysterious experience of womanhood for boyhood, and when Carrie Fisher died on December 27th, the hearts of countless once-boys were mysteriously broken. Though Ms. Fisher was a modern icon of feminism and cynicism, a princess from the edge, it was as though her death was a blow to innocence itself—a threatening of some sacred space that many cling to with some dream for immortality. When Carrie Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynolds, of Singin' in the Rain fame, died the next day on December 28th, yet another blow was delivered to youth. Two icons of energy and optimism who had inspired generations with the memory of being young, sharp, happy and sassy passed away hand in hand, leaving many reeling before a reality that Hollywood paints over an inch thick.
When Evelyn Waugh came to Hollywood in 1947 to discuss the film rights for Brideshead Revisited, he visited Forest Lawn Memorial Park. He had heard it praised as a place unsurpassed in beauty, taste, and sensitivity; a place where "faith and consolation, religion and art had been brought to their highest possible association." But Mr. Waugh found the cemetery dripping with saccharine sentimentality, macabre memorials, and repellent cuteness. (Mr. Disney's remains are entombed there.) Mr. Waugh found in that necropolis a grotesque denial of the reality of death. He found vulgar euphemisms crafted by entrepreneurial spirits. He found wonderful material for a novel to satirize the crassness and irreverence of the truly bizarre American funeral industry.
The American film industry is in many ways a partner in the strange denial of death, and the twin deaths of two emblems of youth are a testimony to that movement. Mr. Waugh wrote The Loved One to parody the perversity he perceived in Hollywood. Mrs. Reynolds starred in Singin' in the Rain to commemorate with comedy a stripping of Hollywood's mask. Carrie Fisher often used Star Wars to parade the persistent perversity she perceived in Hollywood. As she wrote in her most recent book, The Princess Diarist: "Perpetual celebrity—the kind where any mention of you will interest a significant percentage of the public until the day you die, even if that day comes decades after your last real contribution to the culture—is exceedingly rare, reserved for the likes of Muhammad Ali."
Thus it was with Carrie Fisher. Though she was a loud-spoken caricaturist and humorist of celebrity culture and celebrity kowtowing, being herself a tragic, bipolar victim and addict, she remained coyly and cautiously in the celebrity spotlight. Ms. Fisher was, as a popular writer and speaker—like Mr. Waugh—tasteless, irreverent, perverse, and merciless in her appraisal and description of superstardom and the celebrity universe. Though she recognized these as a strange source of insanity, she also recognized them as a stranger source of sanity because they are the means by which all can have a good laugh. Not only is it all right to take things lightly, as Fisher and Waugh did, it is a good habit. It is even advisable to laugh at serious things now and then. In fact, this is especially advisable for serious things, since they are the most in need of jocularity. Nothing on this earth is, or ever should be held, beyond the ticklish reach of humor. Not even things like glamorous interstellar warfare or glamorous international popularity. "Who wears that much lip gloss into battle?" she asked in The Princess Diarist. The practice of taking things too seriously is dangerous to mental health. It is precisely such seriousness that makes people lunatics—and the lunacy that can revel in the gloriously innocent escapades of Star Wars, and mourn the passing of Princess Leia, whether they knew Carrie Fisher or not.
All things should be taken with a sense of humor, as the late Carrie Fisher believed and bespoke; which is to say, with a sense of common sense. For all the inhumanity that prevails over Hollywood paradigms, humor may be considered a basis for sanity as it provides relief and balance to avoid utter insanity. It keeps human beings level. It keeps the galaxy healthy. Upon reflection, none of the best things in life are terribly serious—and things like Star Wars remind the common throng of this common truth. The populace is refreshed more readily by arrant absurdities like space operas than by academic analyses. Only Chestertonian hat-chases or Flash Gordon cliff-hangers can bestow the hilarious and humbling reminder that, though man is the steward of nature, he is subject to it at the same time—which is one of the deftest jokes of humanity. And one of the deepest jokes of humanity is death, as Mr. Chesterton reminds us in his poem "The Skeleton."
Surely, friends, I might have guessed
Death was but the good King's jest,
It was hid so carefully.
Nevertheless, the studios ceaselessly spend millions upon millions of dollars on Godless garbled garbage to distract the masses from mortality. The box offices collect millions upon millions of dollars to provide a dark prison of escapism. People who hunger for fact gorge themselves on fantasy; and they come away confirmed only in their confusion and reinforced in the roots of their malady. God is dead. Sex is king. Violence is power. Morality is myth. Stardom is saintdom. The death of celebrities like Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds jar those who cling to their youth like dying stars with a call that is poignant and even painful. The great irony of any traditional trend in film and filmmaking is to muddy the truth in appealing to "open-minded" audiences. As Chesterton wrote, "the object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." Without the pursuit of and participation in objective truth, people cannot have a standard of happiness and they cannot be happy. Open minds are not minds with a grasp of the truth. The denial of objective truth for the sake of the ambiguous or even skeptical open mind does not stop people from involuntarily seeking objective truth. The dilemma arises when it is sought where it cannot be found—and this was precisely the dilemma that Carrie Fisher struggled with personally throughout her sardonic, star-studded career.
This is a central problem of movies and moviegoers today. There is a constant attempt for distraction from a gnawing sense of un-fulfillment, and a quest for affirmation in a culture that has lost touch with those realities that are intrinsically meaningful—like life and death, heaven and hell, good and evil. As Ms. Fisher said, I am an "enthusiastic agnostic who would be happy to be shown that there is a God." Let it be that she, together with her mother, has joyfully been shown the Truth that surrounds us, that penetrates us, that binds the galaxy together.

The 2014 Toyota RAV4 available now at Oxmoor Toyota of Louisville
Full 2014 Toyota RAV4 Review
What's New for 2014
A new Technology package for the Limited model bundles last year's blind-spot monitoring system with a lane departure warning system and automatic high-beam control. Otherwise, the 2014 Toyota RAV4 is unchanged.
Small crossover SUVs like the 2014 Toyota RAV4 have become popular with a broad population of shoppers. And it's little wonder: In spite of their relatively compact dimensions, these vehicles provide useful space for small families and singles alike. They're easy to drive in crowded cities, and they typically return at least respectable fuel economy (and oftentimes better). In short, small crossovers are very nearly the perfect vehicle for modern Americans on the go. Although the Toyota RAV4 isn't a hands-down favorite in this class, you'll probably find that it checks off most of the boxes on your list.
Space is the five-passenger RAV4's biggest asset. Driver and passenger room are excellent up front, and a pair of adults will be content in the backseat on short trips. Further, buyers traveling with dogs or bulky gear will appreciate the Toyota's large cargo bay, low load floor and, on the Limited model, power liftgate (still a relatively rare convenience on SUVs in this class). With the rear seats folded down, the RAV4 has one of the largest cargo capacities in its class with 73.3 cubic feet.
On the move, the Toyota RAV4 is easy to see out of, and it feels steady around turns and comfortable cruising the highway. Its acceleration is merely average for a compact crossover SUV, though, and unlike with many competitors, there's no optional engine upgrade if you want more oomph than the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder has to offer. Likewise, the RAV4's fuel economy ratings are good, but not class-leading.
Given the quality of the competition in the small crossover class, it's worthwhile to check out a few alternatives. When it comes to all-around versatility, the 2014 Honda CR-V dominates the class. There's nothing truly remarkable about driving this Honda, but it's comfortable, quiet and fuel-efficient, and its roomy cabin is loaded with clever storage areas and handy conveniences. If you really enjoy driving, the 2014 Mazda CX-5 is one of the more entertaining compact crossovers, though its interior, while spacious, isn't quite as functional.
Another very good option is the 2014 Ford Escape, which gives you a choice of three engines and has a higher-end interior than you usually see in this class. Finally, if you have any desire to drive off-road and have at least a fair amount of capability to back it up, the new Jeep Cherokee can accommodate, and it's also one of the few models available with a V6 engine.
Although the 2014 Toyota RAV4 doesn't have significant advantages over its rivals, it's a capable small crossover SUV that will meet the needs of most shoppers.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2014 Toyota RAV4 is a five-passenger compact crossover offered in three main trim levels: LE, XLE and Limited. The LE comes standard with 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, power folding mirrors, keyless entry, rear privacy glass, full power accessories, air-conditioning, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a 60/40-split and reclining second-row seat, a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, and a six-speaker sound system with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod/USB audio interface.
The XLE adds 17-inch alloy wheels, foglights, heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, roof rails, a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, sportier front seats, a cargo cover and extendable sun visors. The audio system is upgraded on the XLE to include satellite radio, HD radio, traffic and weather. An option package allows you to add a navigation system and Toyota's Entune smartphone app integration to the XLE.
The top-level Limited comes with all of the above plus 18-inch alloy wheels, a height-adjustable power liftgate, keyless entry and ignition, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat with memory settings, heated front seats and premium synthetic leather upholstery. Options on the Limited include a navigation system bundled with a premium 11-speaker JBL audio system. The Technology package adds a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alerts, a lane-departure warning system and automatic high-beam control for the headlights.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2014 Toyota RAV4 is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 176 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and the RAV4 is available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
In Edmunds testing, an all-wheel-drive Oxmoor Toyota of Louisville Toyota RAV4 needed 9.2 seconds to hit 60 mph, an average time for a small crossover with a base four-cylinder engine.
The front-drive RAV4 is EPA-rated at 26 mpg combined (24 mpg city/31 mpg highway), which are good, but not class-leading numbers for a small crossover. The AWD model is rated at 25 combined (22 city/29 highway).
Standard safety equipment on every 2014 Toyota RAV4 includes antilock disc brakes, a rearview camera, stability control, traction control, whiplash-reducing front head restraints, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. A driver knee airbag is also standard. A rearview camera is standard across the board, while the optional Technology package on the Limited provides blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts and lane departure warnings.
In Edmunds brake testing, the RAV4 stopped from 60 mph in 128 feet, which is longer than average.
In government crash tests, the Oxmoor Toyota RAV4 received four out of five stars for overall protection, with four stars awarded for frontal protection and five stars for side-impact protection. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests, the new RAV4 earned a top score of "Good" for its protection of occupants in moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof strength tests. Its seat/head restraint was also rated Good for whiplash protection in rear impacts. However, the RAV earned a Poor rating (the lowest) in the Institute's small-overlap frontal-offset crash test.
Interior Design and Special Features
The 2014 Toyota RAV4 features an interior design that shares motifs with the current Camry and Avalon. Pronounced angles and lines form a streamlined and modern-looking dash. Overall, though, the RAV's design and materials are average for the compact crossover class, and a few of the audio and climate controls feel slightly flimsy. The cupholder count is adequate in the Toyota RAV4, but there aren't as many useful storage slots as in the CR-V.
Although all of the RAV4's audio systems have Toyota's Entune branding this year, only XLE and Limited models with the navigation system include the Entune suite of smartphone-connected services, among these the Bing search engine, Pandora streaming radio and traffic, sports and stock information. There's quite a bit of functionality here, but getting started with Entune can be a hassle: You have to install an app on your phone and register for an account, plus you always need an active data connection to use its features. The touchscreen interface has straightforward menus, but it's sometimes unresponsive to user touch (curiously, we've found the more basic touchscreen in the LE better in this regard). On the upside, all the conventional controls in the 2014 RAV4 are easy to use.
Rear-seat passenger comfort is hampered slightly by a low-mounted backseat, but space is nevertheless abundant enough even for taller adults. We also like how the seat reclines to an impressive degree.
The cargo bay measures 38.4 cubic feet and opens up to a generous 73.3 cubes when the second row is folded: one of the largest capacities in the class. There's also a payoff for that low-mounted rear seat: a very flat floor and low load-in height, both of which help minimize the strain of loading large items or even a couple of large dogs. The Limited model is especially convenient, as its liftgate is power-operated and height-adjustable.
Driving Impressions
Most small crossover shoppers will find the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine adequately powered for most tasks and sufficiently fuel-efficient. The six-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, but if you tend to drive assertively, you'll find it slow to downshift in passing situations. Additionally, when climbing steady mountain grades, we've observed that the transmission has a tendency to hunt between gears (rather than picking one gear and sticking with it). Both of these issues are a consequence of Toyota's efforts to tune the drivetrain for maximum gas mileage.
The 2014 Toyota RAV4 handles well and feels refined and comfortable when cruising down the highway. A potential exception is the Limited model, which can get a little jittery on rough or broken pavement due to its big 18-inch wheels. In spite of that, the cabin remains very quiet, making Toyota's crossover a good option for families with young children who sleep in the car.
Overall, the RAV4 is similar in personality to Honda's CR-V, and more demanding drivers might find it less enjoyable to drive than sportier crossovers like the Escape and CX-5, which have more responsive steering. If comfort is your overriding priority, though, the Toyota should do right by you. Additionally, if you need to venture off the beaten path, the RAV4's available AWD system quickly applies power where it's needed for optimum traction and actually gives it a decent amount of off-road ability.

DOWNTOWN - If it were not for the handcuffs that kept his hands and arms locked in place and the prison-issued white T-shirt, blue work pants and slippers, the long conversation David Ingram had with Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Norbert Nadel on Thursday could have taken place in any bar across the country - just without beer and peanuts.
A group of lawyers, clerks, a probation officer and other court watchers teetered on the edge of their seats so they did not to miss a word as the judge and inmate, a man on the run for more than two decades, exchanged laughs during their 20-plus- minute friendly conversation about what in the world the defendant did to escape the law for 22 years.
David Igram did plenty without much.
Ingram, who is originally from Texas, said a buddy of his asked him in 1987 if he wanted to bring Ecstasy - a relatively new designer drug at the time to the Midwest - up to Cincinnati. Ingram agreed and landed in jail when he sold the drugs. As it turned out, the buddy was actually an informer.
At the time, Nadel sentenced the young Texan to 5 to 25 years in prison, the minimum sentence back then for the three counts of drug trafficking.
Ingram, however, remained free on bond pending an appeal, something Nadel said he rarely allows but admitted he made an exception because of various challenges to the law regarding the designer drug.
That appeal never happened and by the following year when it was time for Ingram report to prison, he was long gone.
For 22 years, Ingram was on the lam.
Nadel was intrigued. He begged to know more from the man who essentially snubbed the court's now senior-most judge and remained free all those years.
"How in the world?" Nadel asked in a manor that seemed more to charm then demand.
Ingram told his story and punctuated just about every sentence with the word, "Sir."
And a few laughs.
Ingram said returned to Texas which was experiencing enormous growth and in need many strong men willing to pound a hammer, pour concrete or do other hard work.
Like so many in Texas and other border states at the time, Ingram said he stayed off the radar because he was paid under the table: No name or Social Security number. No taxes.
Essentially as far as his work history was concerned, authority could not track the man who had a nationwide warrant out for his arrest. No work history. No papers. No luck.
But what about the rest of life? Nadel asked.
"No credit card. No bank account," Ingram said.
"What about a telephone?" Nadel probed.
"I didn't need one," Ingram replied.
Nadel peered down in a manner to that asked how can anyone live without a phone.
Ingram reminded him that the more recent advent of pre-paid telephones could keep one off the radar.
Nadel asked about utilities and rent, medical insurance.
Ingram said he covered those bases too. He paid cash for rent and either stayed in places that included utilities or at friends' houses. As for insurance, he hasn't really needed to use it though it would have been nice when he had a problem with a tooth that he paid cash to get treated.
Ingram never got married, so there was no need for a marriage license. He never got a speeding ticket. He never got a rap sheet, he told the judge.
But a driver's license that finally did him in.
When his mother fell ill on Cape Cod and he was left an old car by a friend who had passed away, Ingram told the judge that he thought it was best if he go and take care of his mother in New England. So, in March, he went to a driver's license bureau and applied to take the test so he could get his license.
After submitting the paperwork to the Texas licensing workers, he was asked if he had been to Ohio.
"A long time ago," he told them.
And that was that.
Ingram said didn't fight extradition to Ohio.
"I'm intrigued by the fact that you could stay out that long," Nadel said.
"What about computer access," Nadel asked.
"I know it sounds odd but..." Ingram said as he started to laugh.
Ingram admitted that being on the run that long gets old.
"I wouldn't wish that on anyone," Ingram said. "...I've essentially been on probation for 22 years," Ingram said.
Nadel asked if there would be a book in his future.
Ingram laughed.
If there is a book, the next and perhaps final chapter will be about his sentencing.
Will Nadel send the man back to prison to carry out the original 5- to-25-year sentence?
Or will he grant Ingram's motion that he wrote himself to place him on an intense probation.
Nadel told Ingram he wanted to check out his story to make sure he has in fact stayed out of trouble and to find out what he was up to the whole time.
Nadel told Ingram he was to come back on August 12 at 9 a.m.
"That's it sir," Ingram said of his life-story. "I know you will find that I haven't been in any trouble."
"Are you sure you aren't thinking of writing a book?" Nadel asked again.
Ingram laughed.
"I don't know if anyone would buy it," he said.

See, that's perspective. I've been thinking of it in a different way this week, and particularly yesterday. I spent the day helping to resolve an issue for someone else, and t'eldest daughter also spent her day doing something very similar, and the contrast between the inputs and outputs is too great to let go by uncommented on.
To elaborate, without going into any of the gory detail, I'm currently the investigating manager in a case of alleged harassment at my employer. Whilst the alleged victim of that harassment has undoubtedly been affected by what's happened (regardless of what did actually happen and the reasons for it), the HR consultant handling the case and I have now between us spent at least 8 full working days, with probably the same again to come, working on this case. We're doing things properly, morally and technically, as indeed we should be. But at the end of the case the costs to the employer of the absence, the investigation, and the outcome will be substantial. I can't put a figure on it, but if I were to it would comfortably have five digits.
T'eldest, meanwhile, this week started work as an advisor at Citizens' Advice (you don't do the Bureau bit these days). After one and a half days of training she was thrust into dealing with her first live cases, totally unaccompanied save for a panic button under the desk. She's allocated 20 minutes to deal with each client. Her first three cases were, respectively, someone whose soon-to-be-ex-wife is denying him access to their child, someone who's being denied their final month's pay by a rogue employer they resigned from, and a drug addict who'd had his benefits withdrawn and so hadn't eaten for 4 days. I've over-simplified those cases, but you get the idea.
I have no doubt that she dealt with them coolly and calmly, and by all accounts they went away happy. But these were people with serious life problems turning to the very last line of support (and possibly the only form of support) available, and getting 20 minutes of time. The contrast with the time and effort expended in my case on an essentially professional-based problem just seems extraordinary. And so, when I was bemoaning the fact I'd endured 6 hours of difficult interview yesterday, and no few tears (not mine I hasten to add), it was a reality check to listen to what Daughter 1 had been dealing with. (I'm very proud of this by the way).
Back to the banal - riding a bicycle. (That said, I do think if more people rode bicycles just for the hell of it there'd be fewer problems in the world - I've solved countless previously-intractable issues in the saddle). Only one outdoor ride this week, on Tuesday night, but I packed many, many hills into the 100 minutes I was out before darkness descended. Weird this week, by the way, having mega-temperatures into the evening but it still being dark by 7 pm; like being somewhere equatorial. I've felt a bit rubbish since actually - think I'm going to ease off the high intensity training for a bit after the end of next week, there's been too much for my poor old man's body this year.
It's the Cat & Fiddle Challenge on Sunday, not a long ride, nor indeed a particularly interesting one, but I'm going to do it anyway, and the first reports will be here.

Messy rooms drive parents crazy around the world; it must be some kind of test to make sure kids got the right parents at the hospital. Whatever the reason, it is our job to make sure it is safe. You heard me right, I said safe, not neat, clean and sanitary.
Safety has always been an issue for me; with my father being seriously burned in a fire, I looked for fire hazards that could pop up at any time. Our kids tend to overload electrical outlets and cover heating vents with clothes or toys. Talking with your children early and often will keep them aware not to overload outlets with the chargers, games, computers, televisions, calculators, radios, etc. It is better to plug and unplug rather than overheat and perhaps cause a fire.
Older homes are often not equipped with sufficient electrical outlets and the antiquated wiring may need to be replaced to meet demand. Surge protectors in a home are meant to prevent or reduce power surges in the lines but many people are using them to create additional outlets or extensions to power sources. Surge protectors also need to be replaced on average every five years if not sooner due to wear and tear. If the red light doesn't glow then it needs to go! Gee whiz, it even makes me nervous thinking about it!
Another problem we were concerned with was clutter on the floor. My husband went into Chelsey's room one night to check for open windows during a rainstorm and halfway across her room injured his toe. In a week or so the pain went away but it was a needless injury that could have been prevented. Express to children the need to keep floors clear of toys, books, crayons, balls, Legos®, papers or anything that could injure feet or cause a fall. Papers are as slippery as wet leaves on roadways!
Turning on a light could have prevented an injury but it is common for parents to leave lights off to avoid waking children who may have school the next day. Children should be advised to turn the light on if there is one by their bed before getting up in the dark. A night light is handy if you have outlet space where the light would be visible.
There are other possible causes parents may not be aware of: smoking, candles, incense burners, space heaters, etc. Older electrical items may need to be rewired as well for little money to be made safer or simply replaced. Regular spot-checks could turn up unknown risks and prevent fires.
My children used to think I was a witch when they were young saying I could see into the future and knew what was going to happen. In truth I am no different than any other parent who wants to keep their children safe. Just call me your friendly, neighborhood worry wart!
Do you have any suggestions you would like to add concerning safety in children's rooms? Tell me your experience.

What You Should Know about Water Impurities
Water impurities can easily cause dryness on your skin. This may lead to numerous illnesses and a very dull and ugly look. That's why it is important that you actually purify your water using the effective shower filter.
How Does Water Filtration Help You?
Water filtration will remove harmful components from your water. It will leave your water 99.9% pure and friendly to your skin. Some of the most harmful things that water purification will remove included the following.
Chlorine is often used in many water reservoirs. However, its traces can be very harmful to your health especially to the hair and skin. When chlorine is filtered out, it promotes the growth of strong, healthy, and shiny hair.
Moreover chlorine is known for its bleaching effects. Removing it will prevent fast fading of garment colors, highlighted hair, and will also prevent the formation of dandruff apart from keeping the skin moisturized.
Heavy Metals
Heavy metals such as nickel, lead, mercury, and chromium will also make your water hard. Hard water will give you a dry skin easily. However, when these metals are gotten rid of, your water is softened. With this, you can easily bid farewell to cracked and scaly skin tone. You can also forget about rusted pipes with odor.
Bacteria/ Mold
Bacteria are harmful to your health. Bacterial infections are often found in water especially through burst pipes. A 10 stage technology filter such as the Homspal 10-Stage Shower Water Filter with 2 Cartridges will easily use layers of filtration system to keep mold, algae, and bacteria out.
Mold and algae can also pose a health hazard by keeping your tub filthy, slippery, and dirty. The good filters will keep them out easily.
Smart Purifiers the Right Shower Filter Will Use
Depending on the type of shower filter that you choose, you may have a 10 Stage or 12 Stage filter. Nonetheless, there is a number of filtration options that these filters may choose to use. The very best purifiers that are common to great filters are often the following.
Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is very much eco-friendly. It is also used in large companies to purify water. The best part about activated carbon is; it easily traps herbicides, heavy metals, pesticides, and chlorine to leave your water soft and pure.
Calcium Sulfite
This is also another water purifier that will easily remove chlorine, bacteria, and numerous harmful chemicals including sulfur. It is also good at removing odor from your water and leaving you with ideal water for your health / skin.
If you observed across our reviews, you realized that KDF 55 was a very common component in most of the filters that we worked with. It is for the good – really…! This is because it is the only major component removing hydrogen sulfide and arsenic from your water.
PP Cotton Filters
This is the simplest component in most filters. It is used to eliminate dust, rust, and more specifically sediments from water. It supports the work of mesh filters that many of these devices come with.
Ceramic Balls
Ceramic balls are used in water filtration to sterilize, activate, deodorize, and purify the water. They are made out of Germanium and commonly some of the most dependable when it comes to odor removal from water. In some places a combination of magnetic energy balls can also be used to remove heavy metals.
If you love your body, want to be beautiful, healthy, and glamorous, keep an eye in the quality of water that you use. Always insist on buying a water filter and make sure that you buy one that meets all your requirements.

Stitching Blogger's Questions
Do you frame your cross stitch yourself or do you take it to a professional framer? Why?
All of my previous works have been framed by me, mainly because I don't have the $$ to get things professionally framed. I did take a framing class at CATS, and it was really beneficial to me. My first professional framed piece will probably be one of the Chatelaine's I'm working on.
In your opinion, what are the advantages and/or disadvantages of putting your work behind glass when you frame it?
Personally, I like using glass to frame, as it keeps dust, dog hair, etc., off of the piece. I can't imagine taking a piece out to clean it, and having to frame it again....so I will use glass. It's to each his own so to speak, and this is my opinion only.

|Today's Scripture
|"And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness..."
(Romans 8:26, NLT)
|He is Strong in You
Sometimes, people get distracted by what they consider to be a disadvantage or weakness in their lives. It may be something about their personality or looks that they don't like. Or, maybe they've been through an unfair situation: a divorce, a bad business deal or a bad break. We all have things that can feel like disadvantages; things that make it harder on us. It may even be a physical handicap, and you can't get around like you used to. But just because you have a "disadvantage," just because you've been through a tough time doesn't mean you're supposed to sit back and settle where you are. God still has something great for you to do! He wants to show Himself strong in and through you, and He's given you His Holy Spirit to equip you in this life.
Today let the Holy Spirit help you when you feel weak. Let Him empower you with truth that will set you free. Stay in faith and don't get negative toward yourself or your future. Let God take what you think is a liability and turn it into an asset! Let Him take what you think is a disadvantage and turn it around to be an advantage! Remember, you are more than a conqueror today and every day because He is strong in you!
|A Prayer for Today
|"Father, today I give You all that I am. I invite You into the weak places in my life so that You can turn them into strengths. Thank You for working in my life and filling me with faith and expectancy in Jesus' name. Amen."

The Charles Town Races & Slots will have a limited stakes schedule the remainder of 2005.
Management and horsemen are close to agreement on accredited West Virginia races and the "open" $100,000 Charles Town Dash - which was originally scheduled for July 4 - could be tabled for the fall.
"We'll have the Frank Gall Stakes and the West Virginia Futurity and they will carry purses of $50,000 each," Charles Town Director of Racing Richard (Dickie) Moore said. "We'll also have other West Virginia accredited stakes races and they'll be $40,000 each."
Moore said the majority of the Charles Town-based horsemen wanted to trim the stakes schedule, allowing more purse money for the overnight races.

Have you ever put on dress and immediately felt like a new woman??? Well that was how I felt when I put on this red dress from Glam Envy. Sometimes I think women are afraid of wearing red because it is such a bold statement. But I figure, why not??!! It's important to make a statement, but also important to feel great in what you have on!
For those of you who have been following The Simple Glamazon for a while now, I am so happy to say that is my 100th post! It's been two years of a lot a fun and I am excited to take The Simple Glamazon as far as it can go!
Thank you to all my Glamazon for all of your support!

Your mobile phone is primarily used for keeping in touch, checking social media and sending daft pictures of yourself to your friends. Ideally it's not to be used for leaving instructions as to what happens to your belongings when you die.
In a recent court case in Queensland, Australia, an unsent, draft text message on a deceased's mobile phone was accepted as a valid will. The message was addressed to the deceased's brother leaving "all that I have" to his brother and his nephew. The message was unsent and found in the drafts folder of the deceased's mobile phone. He prepared the message shortly before he took his own life. The deceased's widow argued that the message was not valid as it was never sent. However, the court ruled that as the message ended with the words "my will" this showed that the deceased had intended for it to act as such.
The (English) Law Commission is currently fielding a consultation on the legal rules applying to wills which may include video wills. While looking to modernise succession is of course a good thing (we have previously written on the topic of digital succession), the position in Scotland is clear: a draft text message will not be accepted as a valid will. There are some essential requirements before any writing can be regarded as a valid will:
1) Capacity
Anyone who is legally and mentally capable and signs a will willingly has capacity to make a valid will. You must be old enough (at least 12 years old) and be of sound mind and not deemed to be mentally incapable of making decisions (such as choosing to make a will). You must be choosing to make the will willingly and there must be no undue influence from anyone else.
2) Intention
There must be an intention to bequeath all or part of your estate. This is usually expressed by preparing a will and using words such as 'I leave the residue of my estate to X'.
3) Subscription
Finally, the will must be subscribed and signed in your usual signature at the bottom of every page. This is taken to mean that you have made up your mind and the will follows your wishes. In order for the will to be self-proving, it should be witnessed by an independent person (i.e. not a family member) and preferably not a beneficiary of your estate.
A will must have all three of these requirements otherwise you do not have a valid will.

So this is one of this recipes that I've made so many times I don't even really need a recipe for it any more. I've made a couple changes to over the years, but it's basically remained the the same. I believe it is a Bobby Flay recipe that I found it on the Food Network site. If you are looking for a change from your usual green salad, this is super simple to make. It is a wonderfully light and fresh summer salad. I would only attempt to make this with fresh corn by the way. This is one place that canned or frozen corn does NOT belong! Enjoy!
Fresh Corn Tomato Salad
3 Tbls white wine vinegar
2 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup EVOO
6 ears fresh corn, husked
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 bunch scallions (white & Green), thinly sliced
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into cubes
1 ½ cups fresh basil
½ bag fresh baby spinach
3 Tbls balsamic vinegar
Whisk the vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing.
Shear off the corn kernels with a sharp knife over a bowl. Toss in the tomatoes, scallions, and mozzarella. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Cover and let set for 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Before serving, tear or chop the basil & spinach over the salad, drizzle balsamic and stir.

Ovechkin ready to put Olympics behind himNHL.com @NHLdotcom
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Alex Ovechkin is refocusing on the NHL, and not the fallout in Russia following his country's poor performance at the Vancouver Games.
Saying only "no more Olympics, please," Ovechkin attempted to sidestep questions after a brief practice in Buffalo on Wednesday morning before the Washington Capitals' game against the Sabres. For Ovechkin, it's his first game since Russia's 7-3 loss to Canada in the quarterfinals of the Olympic men's hockey tournament last week.
Ovechkin, who leads the NHL with 89 points, declined to comment on news that Leonid Tyagachev, the head of the Russian Olympic Committee since 2001, had lost his job earlier in the day after the nation won just 15 medals - and only three gold - in Vancouver.

Freedom Journey Report
One of my favorite books is titled "What was I thinking? Things I have learned since I knew it all." by Steve Brown. I feel like that so often. I look back at my 'mothering' years .... during most of them, I was trying to raise 3 kids and I hadn't even begun to deal with my own growing up issues. Looking back, I see myself as a hurting, defensive, confused kid on the inside trying to be a mature wife and mother on the outside. I always felt pressure to 'do it right' and encourage others to 'do it right'....but so much of the 'right' was more of a pretend facade'....an 'I've got my life all together' picture for the world to see. I always felt pressure to 'be an example'. But, how can a kid even know how to 'be an example'...and then, an example of what? My perfectness? huh Where do we get these ideas? Living with this pressure is exhausting. A lot of my life's journey, I have felt like God is slowly.....very slowly....working to set me free. Free from wrong beliefs of who He is. Free from pressure I put on myself and everyone else to BE something...not sure what, but something. Free to actually love and trust people. I could go on and on listing all the areas that I've been and still am bound in wrong thinking. I've gone through so many life situations that challenged what I believe....made me go back and rethink things. It's softened me. Made me more compassionate to the pain and struggles of others. Made me more honest - to deal with my own junk. Given me a desire to stop pretending. Be real - honest - open with others. I guess that's what age does, if you let it. I always figured that by the time I was a in my 50's - I'd have life all figured out and be very strong and solid in my opinions and beliefs. But....not so much. I want to keep going on this freedom journey.

"Only Human?
George Piget was only human. A frail history professor with just a few months to live, he dreamed of having the power of a Caesar, the genius of a Napoleon, the ruthless cunning of a Hitler. Then one day he awoke from a deep sleep to find himself in the dark, primitive world of Cabu, where to be 'only human' was to be the highest form of life. At first he was terrified of the huge lizardlike beasts that stalked him on the vast plains, of the hairy subhuman creatures that made him one of their own. But then his memory of human history took hold, and he plotted to make his dream of world domination come true...' -From the back cover
Published 1974 by Pocket Books. 94 c cover price. 159 pages (which seems to be a theme). I picked it up for $2.75.
Another novel chosen based on a ridiculous cover (which reminded me of Altered States) that ended up falling short of its potential. Cabu could have been a pretty cool novel, but the execution was all wrong. The story does not have a very likable character in George Piget, which was apparently a deal breaker in the 1970's. The author attempted to circumvent the issue by having his main character tell his story, through dialogue to the also unsympathetic narrator. I am quite alright with main characters that I do not like, hell I have read enough Irvine Welsh to actually enjoy them, but two argumentative white professors going back and forth for 150 pages? Count me out.
The basic premise is flawed, but could have been pretty engaging if it had been pulled off. George Piget is a professor at a small college in Wisconsin, he has numerous health problems and is generally unsatisfied with his life. George starts having trouble sleeping, which he at first attributes to issues with his heart, until he has a lucid dream where he is born on another planet, to a Neanderthal-type people.
Yes, this novel clumsily begins with a deus ex machina. In this other world, which the tribe calls Cabu, George can control his other self while retaining all of his knowledge of 20th century mankind. Being a man of academia, he begins researching the stone age with the intention to better his tribe as soon as he can.
Our narrator is a fellow professor who likes to spend his free time hunting rabbits with some arrows he makes himself, so the two hit it off somewhat...and then talk for 150 fucking pages.
There are some cool parts to Cabu, all of which involved the amount of detail Russell put into his world-building. The Neanderthal tribe has an interesting primitive culture from the onset, and a lot of the flora and fauna has a nice 'semi-alien' feel to it. I particularly enjoyed when Piget's Neanderthal-self came of age sexually, and the Earth George (who was never very active in that department) began to find the 'hairy breasts and buttocks' of his tribe more appealing than your standard human female (which might have some white guilt about it).
The main scope of the book involves the main character forcing invention after invention on this docile and content tribe until everything goes to shit. With civilization comes political assassinations, jealousy, rape, and the attempted genocide of a different breed of man.
Unfortunately for Cabu's colorful and detailed stone age world, it ends up being just a vehicle for another 'civilization bad' storyline. Oh yeah, and there is a twist ending that was just as weak as the 'I starting dreaming and traveled across the universe' opening. Not recommended, friends.

Most of us depend upon coffee when we feel exhausted. Our day starts with coffee and it ends with coffee but the fact is that excess of coffee is really harmful for here. So is it really a way to remain high on energy without coffee? Here are some quick tips to restore the energy level without being too dependent of Coffee!
- Lemonade is one the best drinks that a person can get. It is refreshing and it also restores the lost salts. Caffeine can leave your body dehydrated but lemonade will always help in hydration. Simply consuming more water can also prove to be helpful.
- Ensure that you get a sound sleep. Not sleeping enough causes restlessness and that is the reason why it is required to sleep at least 8 hours. Lack of sleep can also cause anxiety and other diseases
- Quitting alcohol can also help in getting your energy levels back as alcohol also leaves you dehydrated. Replace the liquor with juice or plain water. You will also be able to save yourself from hang overs and your liver will thank you for not consuming alcohol.
- A change in diet can also help you in staying fresh. Fried food and Fast Food can make you feel really lazy where as having a portion of salads or fruits can boost your energy level. Moreover you don't have to give up your food. You just need to find a healthy replacement.
- Workout can also help you in a positive start but you need to have a morning workout schedule instead of an evening workout schedule. Cardio is the best solution for staying energetic.
- In case you feel exhausted in middle of a day, get up from your desk and go for a short walk or stretch a little. This helps a great deal in restoring energy levels.
Following the tips can reduce you dependency on coffee and thus leading you to a healthy lifestyle.

Dr Alfred Gathorne-Hardy
I joined SIAS in October 2011, where I was a researcher on the ESRC/DfID funded project: 'The Materiality of Rice', led by Professor Barbara Harriss-White. I am now a Junior Research Fellow at Somerville College, and convene and lecture the geography MSc elective, Global Environmental Change and Food Security.
Both food and a healthy environment are essential for human existence. Food production at the scale required to feed the present population inevitably damages the environment. This damage is at such a scale to seriously threaten human existence.
My present work involves trying to square this circle – can the food system be modified to feed humanity without causing undue socio-environmental destruction? To answer this we must first understand the food system and its inherent social, economic and ecological complexity, before working with policy makers, businesses and NGOs to find ways to enhance the beneficial attributes and mitigate damage.
I started my career using ecology to judge sustainability – surveying sites for species and habitats of interest and then working with farmers/landowners to protect them. While this sometimes worked well, it was often frustrating as the right action from the sustainability perspective commonly didn't match the desired action of the farmers.
This conflict led me to apply for an interdisciplinary PhD at Imperial College, funded by the UK Energy Research Centre. My PhD developed from ideas I had gained while working with farmers but with two key changes. Firstly I looked at landscapes from a multi-functional perspective – still investigating biodiversity but also the potential for the landscape to mitigate climate change and provide an economic return. The second change was to look at the interaction between local and global – if we enhance local biodiversity through extensification, how does this impact global biodiversity?
To answer these questions I carried out a mixture of 'proper' science (pot trials, field trials, biodiversity surveys) and desk-based science (to model the interaction between the different sustainability criteria).
During my PhD I was twice seconded to the civil service, firstly to DECC, and then for a High-Level Policy Placement Fellowship at DEFRA. Working in policy has had a considerable impact on my academic work, encouraging me to approach subjects from a wider perspective and specifically look at unintended consequences and trade-offs.
The SIAS project on which I worked was entitled 'The Materiality of Rice'. Other members of the team were Professor Barbara Harriss-White, (PI, Oxford) and Deepak Mishra, Hema, DN Reddy, Asseem Prakesh, Guatum Mody, Mohan Mani (India). I was responsible for developing a model that allows us to accurately understand the trade-offs and synergies that occur between different criteria along the rice production/distribution/supply chain in SE India. The criteria we used were GHG emissions, water use, energy, quality and quantity of labour, costs and value addition. More information is available from the Materiality of Rice website.

Mayors Oppose Amendment OneJanuary 11th, 2008 by Mike Vasilinda
Governor Charlie Crist plans a bus trip across Central and Southwest Florida next week to push his controversial plan to cut property taxes. Today the Governor got new opposition, and as Mike Vasilinda tells us, even if the tax plan passes, taxes may not go down as much as predicted.
Hear it here: Mayors Oppose Amendment One
The Florida League of Mayors is the latest group to oppose the January 29th Property Tax referendum.� Florida Cities have already given a thumbs down, but for the first time, the Mayors say taxes for many could go up if voters approve the plan.
�Under certain circumstances, this proposal may spark a rise in local property taxes, which will erode savings for homeowners and increase tax bills for other property owners,� Sunrise Mayor Steve Feren said.
The group also took aim at the money behind the plan…Donald Trump and used car dealers.
�We know that Donald Trump is used to saying �you�re fired,�� Feren said. �So he doesn�t care what happens, he�s just interested in saving money on his mansion.�
The independent watchdog Florida Taxwatch also got into the fray, saying the tax amendment could do more harm than good.
�It doesn�t target the relief to people who�ve been hurt the most with the recent runup in property taxes,� Kurt Werner with Taxwatch said.� �It basically perpetuates and exacerbates an already bad system.�
Despite the opposition, the governor remains confident.
The governor is telling reporters that he has an internal poll showing the amendment will pass. But when asked for it, he wouldn�t give it up.
Early voting begins Monday, and a large number of absentee ballot requests suggest heavy interest for an unusual January election
