To Learn More About Steve Carpenteri
It's always interesting to me how one season in Maine tends to come along and push the last one out of the way. Here it is just days into "official" spring (as if any human declaration could carry that much weight) yet there is still snow on the ground lots of it. There is no denying that winter still has a grip on things and yet just outside my back door my daffodils are already poking their way up through the crusty snow. One plant is already six inches high, strong and green, yet there is ice and snow all around it. Talk about persistence!
This, of course, made me start looking around for other signs of change and the first thing I noticed was that the nuthatches and chickadees were already starting to build their nests. I have a dozen bird houses I built out of scrap wood and each one has a tenant. It may be a tad early for some of them to start laying eggs but the urge is obviously there. The birds spend their days gleaning debris from inside the woodshed with which to build their nests, and recently the traffic into and out of the shed door has been non-stop. Snow and cold notwithstanding, spring is definitely on its way.
Another sign was neither subtle nor expected. I have not seen a wild turkey at the feeder since November. I guess the birds grew tired of slipping and sliding across the pasture on the snow and decided to spend the winter elsewhere, no doubt at a nearby farm where food was more abundant and easier to get to.
Just the other day, however, I glanced out the window (well, I was actually sitting in my rocker having tea and gazing across the field) and saw a troop of a dozen turkeys come out of the logging trail headed straight for my back yard. Five of the birds were big, mature toms with long, thick beards; two were immature males or "jakes," and the rest were fussy, fidgety hens. They all but ran to the feeder and made quick work of the sunflower seeds that were left on the ground, even picking away at the remnants of seed that was caught in the snow when I shoveled the area after each winter storm.
Another surprise visitor was a red squirrel that I had not seen since Christmas. I'm sure he had snuggled up in a nest he'd built in my wood pile (I found six of them over the winter) and had been waiting for a spate of balmier weather. Now he's a regular at the feeder, as are the turkeys, which tell me winter has definitely lost its grip.
More proof? Well, if a dead skunk in the middle of the road doesn't tell all, I don't know what does. This past week I've seen three skunks and one raccoon, all victims of vehicle encounters. It's obvious that the depth of the snow (waist deep at the time) was not a concern of these winter-dormant critters; the recent thaw brought them out of their dens but, alas, their car-dodging skills were not up to par. Sadly, it's not so much a quest for food that puts these small mammals at risk in the waning days of winter. Instead, it's their search for a mate that causes their demise. Both raccoons and skunks breed in February and March, which explains their sudden appearance while snow still blankets the ground. Crossing a road safely is, apparently, somewhat lower down on their list of priorities.
Also in a rush during these latter days of March are human sportsmen who are anxious to squeeze the last days of rabbit hunting and ice-fishing out of the season. Conditions in the woods are bordering on brutal from a snowshoeing point of view, and for this brief period the hares have the upper hand. I went out to test the condition of my own snowshoe trails, which I've kept up faithfully since last December, and the most accurate assessment is that the bottom has fallen out literally. My well-packed trails have been slowly melting from below, so even though the top level of snow is still hard and packed, the bottom is grainy or, in wet places, gone completely, which makes it tough to negotiate the path on my 60-inch wooden shoes. In places I have to lift my feet nearly waist high in order to clear the snow, which is still crusty on top even though it's melting below. No fun to be had there! I tried walking on a nearby snowmobile trail but the situation is much the same and, with the recent rain and warm temperatures, getting worse by the day. The same goes for ice-fishing. Timing is everything from now on. Some of the bigger risk-takers will wait too long and have a devil of a time getting their fishing shacks off the ice before everything turns to mush. There may be plenty of solid, safe ice in places but lakes don't thaw any more consistently than they freeze, which means there will be areas of slush surrounded by areas of thick ice. I've had to wrestle many a shack off the ice by hand and I can tell you it is not nearly as much fun as one might think. There is often several layers of ice separated by slush, just enough so that you break through one layer and end up standing on the one below. It's cold, wet, back-breaking work better to get the job done early than to put it off till next weekend. A few days can mean a huge difference in ice conditions, especially at this end of winter. The last ones off the ice will definitely pay the price for their procrastination.
Though it may not look like it, winter's end is just around the corner. Frost heave signs and potholes may not be the most thrilling signs of spring but at least they're a start!

In a shocking move, the MTA's Peter Kalikow announced that the development rights for the west side railyards will now be an open-bid process, one of the details I lamented upon yesterday. Now, we just have to wait and see how Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Governor George Pataki usurp authority and "give" it to the NY Jets, if Cablevisions's Jame Dolan or any other developer for that matter outbid the NY Jets.
Frankly, I won't be suprised if NYC and NY State pool "their" monies together with the owners of the NY Jets in order to purchase the development rights for the site.

For those in the American Northeast last winter was rugged and fairly cold. Yet what is he world picture?

In its annual report, "WMO Statement on the Status of the Global Climate,†the WMO also found that 2009 is nominally ranked as the fifth warmest on record.!ADVERTISEMENT!
According to WMO, the year 2009 is likely to rank in the top 10 warmest on record since the beginning of instrumental climate records in 1850. The global combined sea surface and land surface air temperature for 2009 (January–October) is currently estimated at 0.79°F ± 0.20°F above the 1961–1990 annual average of 57.2°F. The current nominal ranking of 2009, which does not account for uncertainties in the annual averages, places it as the fifth-warmest year. The decade of the 2000s (2000–2009) was warmer than the decade spanning the 1990s (1990–1999), which in turn was warmer than the 1980s (1980–1989). More complete data for the remainder of the year 2009 will be analyzed at the beginning of 2010 to update the current assessment.
The year started with a mild January in northern Europe and large parts of Asia, while western and central Europe were colder than normal. Russia and the Great Lakes region in Canada experienced colder than average temperatures in February and January, respectively. Spring was very warm in Europe and Asia; April in particular was extremely warm in central Europe. Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria reported temperature anomalies of more than +5°C, breaking the previous records for the month in several locations. The European summer was also warmer than the long term average, particularly over the southern regions. Spain had the third warmest summer, with hotter summers reported only in 2003 and 2005. Italy recorded a strong heatwave in July, with maximum temperatures above 40°C, and some local temperatures reaching 45°C. A heatwave at the beginning of July affected the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and Germany, and some stations in Norway experienced new maximum temperature records.
India had an extreme heatwave event during May, which caused 150 deaths. A heatwave hit northern China during June, with daily maximum temperatures above 40°C; historical maximum temperature records were broken for the summer in some locations.
In late July many cities across Canada recorded their warmest daily temperatures. Vancouver and Victoria set new records, reaching 34.4°C and 35.0°C, respectively. Alaska also had the second-warmest July on record. Conversely, October was a very cold month across large parts of the United States. For the nation as a whole, it was the third coolest October on record, with an average temperature anomaly of -2.2°C. Similarly, a very cold October was reported in Scandinavia, with mean temperature anomalies ranging from -2°C to -4°C.
This year above normal temperatures were recorded in most parts of the continents. Only North America (United States and Canada) experienced conditions that were cooler than average. Given the current figures, large parts of southern Asia and central Africa are likely to have the warmest year on record.
This preliminary information for 2009 is based on climate data from networks of land based weather and climate stations, ships and buoys, as well as satellites. The data are continuously collected and disseminated by the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services of the 189 Members of WMO and several collaborating research institutions.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently reported the following global trends:
The combined global land and ocean surface temperature for February 2010 was the sixth warmest on record, at 1.08 degrees F above the 20th century average of 53.9 degrees F.
The global land surface temperature for February 2010 was 1.35 degrees F above the 20th century average of 37.8 degrees F — tying with 1992 as the 14th warmest February on record.
Anomalously cool conditions were widespread across the contiguous United States, Mexico, Europe and Russia. Overall, the United Kingdom had its coolest February since 1991, and the Irish Republic, its coolest February since 1986.
Warmer than average temperatures enveloped much of the rest of the world's land areas, with the warmest temperature anomalies occurring across Alaska, Canada and across the Middle East and northern Africa.
The Goddard Institute for Space Studies is also analyzing global temperatures and in a preliminary report have come to the same rising temperature scenario for 2009.
Global temperatures are still rising despite local trends and situations.

My mother has literally been going on at me for years to take folic acid. I've been resisting as we weren't trying for a baby and it would have felt, well, wrong. Because folic acid is something people who are 'trying' take, right? Plus I thought it was just one of those 'extra' things people do…
Turns out I was wrong. According to the NHS website (thank you, Google) it is really important to take folic acid during conception and the early stages of pregnancy to significantly reduce the risks of things like spina bifida.
This obviously led on to a journey around the NHS website, with me finding my way to this page about things you shouldn't eat during pregnancy. Most of which I consumed during our honeymoon. Which opened up a whole new world of paranoia. Exhausting.
So, I have started taking folic acid. But after we first started trying. That's early enough, right?

Places to Visit in Berlin · Things to do in Berlin
5 Places Off the Beaten Track in Berlin
Head off the beaten track in Berlin and see a city which is charming and genuine, even more so than many of the more popular sites that are on offer. Below we've selected five of the best places to visit of the beaten track in Berlin.
Müggelsee Ice Skating
Müggelsee is a large lake far out in the eastern suburbs of Berlin, far away from the tourist center. Like many of the lakes in and around Berlin, in the summer they are lovely places to visit and swim around in. But winter isn't a reason to ignore the lakes, it's a reason to get yourself some skates and get on over to the frozen lake, joining ice-lovers from around Berlin. There are people whizzing around all over the lake, and local entrepreneurs selling hot drinks and mulled wine out of their houses. To get to Müggelsee, you can take the S-Bahn train to Friedrichshagen.
Victoria Park
One of the nicest parks in Berlin, Victoria Park is a pretty place to walk around in, whether you prefer to climb to the monument on the top of the hill and look out over great views of the surrounding Kreuzberg area, or to sit on the grass on sunny afternoons and drink wine. The monument on the top of the hill commemorated German victories in the Napoleonic Wars, and the actual park is named after England's Queen Victoria. At the bottom of the monument is the beginning of an artificial waterfall which runs all the way down the hill during the summer months. You'll also find a nice vineyard on the hill, an independent production bottling about a thousand bottles of quality wine every year. Berliners hang out in the park, playing soccer, sitting on the grass or in the cafes and beer gardens, and there are also occasional topless sunbathers in the summer. You can get to Victoria Park by bus (140, M19) or U-Bahn (the nearest station is Platz der Luftbrucke).
Badeschiff Floating Swimming Pool
A swimming pool floating on a river may seem a little surreal, but the Badeschiff pool floating on the Spree is exactly that, and has inspired a number of floating pools around the world. The boat-turned-pool is more comfortable and sanitary than the river it floats on, and has a nice deck for sunbathing, and a poolside bar with music until midnight. In winter, the floating pool is covered with a transparent cover, and the water is heated, which makes for a nice change from the weather outside. The Badeschiff is found on the south bank of the river, opposite Eichenstrasse 4, not far from the East Side Gallery.
Dinner in the Dark (Unsicht Bar)
If you think all that restaurants around the world are all more-or-less the same, then get ready for a completely different experience at the Unsicht restaurant: a dining experience in a pitch black room, with blind waiters bringing you mysterious food, while you attempt to use cutlery or your hands to eat, and see how you fare without your sense of sight. Dinner at the restaurant on Gormannstrasse 14 (just off the famous Torstrasse) is tasty although a bit pricey, but the real focus is on the experience and the atmosphere. If you want to give your sense of taste, smell, hearing and touch a chance to prove themselves, this is the place to go for an unforgettable dinner.
Gleis 17
In a city with dozens of memorials, it might seem strange to recommend another one, but this small memorial is powerful, disturbing, and often overlooked. Located in Grunewald S-Bahn station, on track 17, it stands in memory to the 50,000 Jews of Berlin who were deported from the station to ghettos in Poland, and later to the concentration camps. Jews were packed into cattle cars and sent off, and the remaining Jewish community was asked to pay for their transportation. The memorial consists of a plaque with the numbers of victims and their destinations, and 186 steel objects in the gravel representing the trains that left the station carrying Jews.

Behind the scenes: snowmaking in Crested Butte
Neat little video that takes a behind the scenes look at the snow making team in Crested Butte. Snow making is a vital part of prepping the mountain for the season and the crew can be seen at work many weeks after opening day boosting and buffing the snow all over the place – and working in pretty hard conditions!: (more…)

Fun run for the kids in the trees off Houston before you reach the base area. Very narrow so tricky, but fun, for adults to follow in too:
Butt skiing. I used this technique a lot on February's ski trip. It's encouraged by the rental shops as it reduces the wear and tear on the skis. This particular example takes place near the top of International:
We'll have more videos of the runs to follow but viewer discretion is advised. The "videographer" was only on his third ski trip and so many, many skiers will be offended by his technique and complete lack of prowess – particularly when he has a go at his first double black diamond…
Shot using a V.I.O. POV.1.5 – not that they'll be pleased to hear that…
It may not be Crested Butte but this promo video by Telluride makes you want to hit the slopes fast, particularly when you're in the grip of a hot, hazy and humid Caribbean summer:

Palestine: Oppression Will not Work
Anyone who knows a little bit of history realizes that when there is situation where a people has refused to surrender and abandon its rights, oppressing it will not work. The only ones who may live in denial of this fact are the oppressor and those who support it. Their wishful thinking thus leads them to trying different types of violence and criminality, coupled with mass lies and distortion campaign.

Dream Works Animation has a new team, a new dream and a new focus that is being implemented to further establish its core franchises, leverage new properties and expand consumer products and live events around the world, while driving its overall growth in brand licensing over the next decade.
When Dream Works stars yearn to return to their roots, they take a sojourn at the world's great theater destinations.
At present, automatic enrolment applies to workers who are aged between 22 and state pension age, and earning above a certain trigger - but under the recommendations the eligible age would be lowered by four years to 18.
David Gauke, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions said: 'We are committed to enabling more people to save while they are working, so that they can enjoy greater financial security when they retire.'We know the world of work is changing, so it is only right that pension saving does too.
Contribution levels will be reviewed after the minimum rate rises to 8% in 2019.
A former pensions minister welcomed the planned reforms but said the proposed pace of change should be faster.
Because there's nothing like an audience full of delighted, wide-eyed kids and happy parents.
Read how Dream Works Animation is innovating the future of animation.The earnings trigger at which auto-enrolment kicks in for employees will remain at £10,0/19, subject to annual reviews.It has previously been announced that contribution levels into workplace pensions, which include the combined amounts coming from employers and employees will be raised over the coming years.Suddenly destined to play a crucial role in an ancient battle of good and evil, Jim is determined to save the world – right after gym class.Five unsuspecting teenagers, transported from Earth into the middle of a sprawling intergalactic war, become pilots for five robotic lions in the battle to protect the universe from evil.

An infant hurt when the car he was riding in was rear-ended Friday died in a Boise hospital Sunday, Idaho State Police reported Monday.
Three other people were sent to the hospital after a series of three crashes near the Simco Road exit on Interstate 84 in Elmore County at about 6:30 p.m. Friday.
Justin Fitzpatrick, 21, of Mountain Home, was driving west in his 2002 Dodge Stratus, below the speed limit, when he was struck from behind by Steven Shelly, 50, of Meridian, driving a 2009 Pontiac G6, police said. The child who died, 2-month-old Kameron Fitzpatrick, and another passenger, an adult, were taken to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in BOise.
Justin Fitzpatrick said Monday afternoon he was too distraught to talk to a reporter.

Everyone in Fitzpatrick's vehicle had been wearing seatbelts and the infant was in a child seat, according to ISP. The agency isn't yet ready to release details about the accident, spokeswoman Teresa Baker said, indicating a reconstruction report detailing what happened is likely a couple of weeks away.
"We still don't have all the answers," Baker said. "No charging decisions have been made."
After the first wreck, Aaron Blackburn, 21, of Boise driving a 1990 Buick Century crashed into Marie Bare, 55, of Pocatello driving a 2007 Kia Optima. Then Blackburn hit Randall Jewett, 55, of Hill City. No one was injured in that crash, according to ISP.
David West, 26, of Twin Falls was slowing down for traffic in his 2005 Mitsubishi when he was hit by Natasha Richey, 20, of Mountain Home, driving a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier. Richey and her passenger James Mullis, 26, of Mountain Home were transported to the hospital. It is unclear whether they were wearing seatbelts, according to ISP.

Confession: The postman left a manila folder containing a book I forgot I had requested for reasons I couldn't remember by an author I didn't care to follow. I'm probably just jealous, for who can resist Beth Moore's effervescent presentation of hope? Apparently, there are only a few of us–but cut me some slack…? Remember Proverbs 27:14? "If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse." Such has been been my response to Moore's prolific output. And like a good neighbor, I have carefully avoided her work—not an easy feat in modern day Christendom. Too bad for me, since I discovered upon opening the package that she has some really good things to say. When I read the enclosure, I was reminded I had, um, agreed to post a review. So here it is.
Get Out of That Pit has a timely message for anyone who finds themselves feeling stuck, unable to stand and having lost vision. From my curmudgeonly introduction, you have surmised that might be me! Moore delights with sunny, southern colloquialisms–if one has an affinity for that form of humor, then sucker punches with unavoidable truisms. As a result of her transparent sharing rather than the plastic perfection of which I [might] have accused her, I found myself open to her message, taken predominantly from Psalm 40, and the account of Joseph.
For me the most valuable takeaway is this: A pit is not, by definition, an external circumstance or a location outside of one's self, but is, in fact, mobile. One can carry their pit with them into any situation, which she illustrates with a comic sketch of driving/crashing a stinking RV into a well-appointed living room to set up household. She posits at the beginning that it is this internal pit from which our true deliverance must come. As a spiritual director, I was thrilled to discover this nugget within. However, her attention quickly turned, in subsequent chapters, to the external "pits," i.e. less desirable choices and willful disobedience. My initial thrill, thus, was tempered slightly as I would have liked to have seen even more of the book devoted to this inner dimension. It seemed the freshest.
As to literary quality, the stories are charming, however the writing can be redundant and unfocused at times making it hard to stay engaged. Thankfully, the study guide, included, brings clarity where it seems lacking within the specific chapters. To her credit, she states up front that her style is conversational and can be problematic for some (…like me, maybe?).
Women, in particular, looking for devotional material full of familiar biblical passages that "fill you up"–a significant portion of the scripture-consuming population, will no doubt find it enjoyable and helpful. Those who appreciate a more serious use of language, whose invitation is to deeper layers of reflection and self-awareness, who want to explore meaning beyond metaphor, should be aware that Get Out… will likely not serve that purpose, though it will serve its purpose in redirecting us to an awareness that we have agency in how long we stay. And it offers some actions to take to help us Get Out of That Pit! Spoiler alert: They mostly concern the mouth.
While I resist formulas, I recognize the value in organized thought. So, if you or someone you know seems to recycle through insurmountable situations—feel stuck, can't stand in the face of difficulty, and have lost vision, Moore offers encouragement and insight. You may want to skim, though, rather than read each word. Congrats on the 10th anniversary of a successful piece of work.

Tesla Coil Secondary
2 in stock (can be backordered)
This great little Tesla secondary coil and aluminium toroid is fantastic for small Tesla Coil projects. If you want a real professional looking coil, then this is just what you need. The coil is precisely wound and terminated so that the top can be removed easily. The coil is unvarnished and will need to be varnished before use at high voltage. The topload is made from a sturdy spun aluminium toroid mounted using an M6 bolt through a high voltage standoff.
Electro-Magnetic Characteristics
The coil alone has a resonant frequency of around 445kHz, while the combined coil and toroid have a resonant frequency of around 420kHz. It has an inductance of 11mH and a resistance of 60 ohms. There are approximately 815 turns of 0.25mm enamel coated copper wire making up the coil.
The coil part is 250mm high, and 750mm wide. The total height is 310mm. The toroid measures 107mm wide and 30mm thick. The toroid is hollow and can be split in two by unscrewing the fixing nut.

Really smart looking coil. Just make sure you give it a good few coats of varnish before handling it cus the windings are a bit delicate.

It happened on July 2nd around 9:30 am.
It was a noise, so loud and unknown, that no one could identify what it was.
One had to run…to run from something unnamed and terrible.
When I opened my bedroom door, I saw the street and a burned neighbor crying for help.
The stairs were filled with glass, wood and debris. The phone call to 911 was messy: "An explosion, on Conde das Antas Street, in Campolide it's serious." "We already know!"
Everything was black, and the fire was starting, wrapped in an even darker smoke. Terrifying.
What about the grandson, who I had heard in the backyard just before? He was alright, Anabela cried. "I heard a noise, a candle fell on my nose, and I cried". To take him away from the fire was imperative; friends from the office appeared as by miracle in the garden and came towards us; we left, towards the corner to peek at the fire.
Cars burning in the street, one first, then another and another. A jeep burning beneath my window. How to avoid fire? A hose? The house is going to burn…No one can think straight in these circumstances.
A man filled with glass cuts laying on the street. Ambulances arrive. The firefighters arrive and quickly put out the fire.
We are together and each one tells her story. Ana watched a bus stopped because someone had their car blocking its way and opened the window. The explosion threw her underneath another desk and filled her with glasses, she fainted but, Sofia, who had also been hit by glasses, came to her aid, and both were unharmed, other than a small pain resulting from the fall. Ana V. entered the corner where the computers are seconds before the explosion, which meant she saved herself from all debris thrown like bullets. Teresa and Vera had just left, a minute before the explosion and when it happened, they were safe on the next street. Deolinda was in the gym and ran towards the others. They ran to the garden in search of a safe haven. Everybody was alright.
There weren't any patients in the Office. The one who had just made an exam had just left, the one who had an EEG appointment at 9:30 had canceled, another forgot her consultation. For unexplained reasons, I had canceled that day's appointments.
I now look back. I was feeling a bit lazy and took longer to get up, and it was those precise seconds that saved me from a rather certain death. We had all escaped by a narrow edge.
This street, where there's usually a fair amount of traffic was empty, no cars were passing by when the explosion happened. The bus went on his way moments before, taking all its passengers with him.
A neighbor, whose jeep burned, harassed himself for a moment, then looked to his parents' home completely destroyed an thought: "They went away in vacation just yesterday and are all right. What a relief!"
An elderly grandmother had just gone somewhere with her grandson, took a bit longer than she should have coming back; she was on the corner of the street, away and safe from any danger.
The destruction was monumental, doors, glass and windows had disappeared in three buildings; the fire had ravaged the street, there were broken glasses in many locations through the surrounding streets.
Many helped us: our neighborhood's delegate, Dr. André Couto, was flawless, and like him, both his staff, the Police and the civil protection.
I thought how good it was to have a 19th and 20th century house, with such sound foundations, whose structure resisted the impact, and I mentally thanked the Pereira Coutinho family.
Friends called giving comfort and asking "What can I do?" It was good, very good.
I called my daughter and my son-in-law. "It was bad…" They rushed over to give an enormous help and an invaluable support.
But we were alright, protected by forces bigger than ourselves and that, one by one, took care of us. Without a single injury in a sea of debris.
The guardian angels had protected the Practice and had taken care of us.
A deep appreciation; a deeper gratitude, because as we pray in the "Our Father", "we had been delivered from Evil".
When I am told "What bad luck!" I think, "No, we were very lucky!"
And this is how, together, we are putting things back up, as a strong and united team.
And today, now that the worse is behind us, I feel the guardian angel's protection hovering over this house and quietly go to sleep.
Professor Teresa Paiva

Final Request ~ a poem by Joy Feldman
As long as life is full and free
Let me live and still by me
But when my days on Earth are done
An Eternal Rest I've surely won
Rob me not of the right to die
Let my soul to heaven fly.
When mind and heart and body fail
And doctors work to no avail
Cease the needles painful prick
No more tubes into me stick
Another day, another week
Prolonged life I would not seek.
Remember that I loved you so
Say goodbye and let me go
Pray for strength and then depart
Keep my love within your heart.
Dedicated to my Angel on Earth, Aunt Gini, with love.

Is This All There Is? based on 0 ratings. 21 reviews.
Here is a book that is difficult for me to review because, A) this is a well written story, and B) the subject matter really bothers me. I'm going to put my troubles with the theme aside saying only that it was well executed and done so in a manner that left no holes for confusion or questions to thrive in. Is This All There Is? is a tale with essential truths told in a way that I'm sure many people will recognize in themselves or in friends and loved ones. It's a sadly common story, told in an honest and full picture kind of way. I appreciate that. To often books of this nature contain colorful fluff; painting a picture that somehow everything is fine and normal, acceptable. You'll find none of that here. I found that this book was well edited, non-repetitive, and well structured. I did, however, feel that the ending was abrupt; I needed more after what I went through during the read, but also see that it was a great place to stop if there is to be a second book. I would most certainly read it if a second book was introduced.
With this extremely well written novel, Mann manages to very succinctly show how the lines within relationships can be blurred by changing circumstances. She approaches a very loaded subject with abandon showing a great deal of tact as well as insight. She also managed to portray love, lust, marriage, and relationships in a manner that defies literary stereotypes. This is not your stereotypical storybook whirlwind romance, but rather real life. Mann's writing style is very conducive to the type of story that she has written. There is a natural flow and progression to the story that is never broken. There are some flashbacks, but they are very identifiable in the story. They also fill the reader in as to how this couple found themselves in their current situation. It is a brilliant way to give the audience necessary back-story without a great deal of narrative. They also give a great deal of insight into the emotions faced by the characters. The characters in this story each developed to suit a specific purpose. You know everything that you need to about that particular character. The details are provided in a manner that there is no informational or narrative overflow at any point in the novel, thus allowing it to progress naturally through the plot. I found that the characters evoked strong emotions in me as a reader. I could very easily picture myself in their shoes. Of course, at times, I also wondered "what was she thinking????", but at the same time, Mann made sure that you could always understand where the characters were coming from This was a very captivating, emotionally and ethically stimulating novel. It made me stop and rethink a great deal of things that I had previously taken for granted. It was a novelty to read a story like this.
A well-written debut novel by a talented writer! This was a well-written, interesting, and thought provoking debut novel by a talented writer. Being a career woman, a mother and a wife, I could relate to Beth - the main character - and the challenges of everyday life she had to face. The ups and downs of family life and the instinctive urge of women to be perfect in every role - wife, mother, career woman - can put a burden on any relationship. I think that, at some point or another, we all go through some of the challenges Beth had to face, and have to make life changing decisions. I really enjoyed reading this realistic and honest story and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves real life dilemmas.
I think that a lot of women who are wives and mothers will be able to relate to this story, I certainly did. We get caught up in the kids and maybe our careers and our husbands get caught up in their careers and lives outside the home and we lose ourselves. What happens when on a rare night out a young, gorgeous man pays attention to you? Then what happens when he continues to pursue you? This was a good story. It is one that will make you think, make you wonder. I was left wondering a little bit at the end about what was going to happen next for the main characters. I, personally, would have preferred more of a finite ending. It was well written and edited. It is thought provoking with characters that many will be able to relate to.
So this is women's lit. This is a well written story with credible characters and natural dialogue. Some aspects are familiar types--a solid citizen of a husband, an idealized "younger man" and a married, lactating woman's lustful imagination and wandering ways; the battle between what one knows and what one feels. I don't think I have ever seen grassy green eyes and do think that therapy of any sort require weeks, months or years rather than one session. But though there was not a "lesson" in this novel and the lives of its characters do not really compel or entice, this novel confirms for this reviewer that men tend to respond by thinking of solutions and women prefer one simply to listen and empathize. It seems enough to make the world go round.
I initially offered to read and review this book based on the description. I was intrigued to learn more about Beth's character. "Is This All There Is" seems to be Patricia Mann's debut novel. From the onslaught of the story you can feel like you are standing there with Beth, feeling her every emotion in the mundane ritual of her life as a full-time mother, part-time university professor. You can just feel the discontentment with her life. This was a shorter novel but it was full of so much raw emotion that I can't even tell you much about the writing style because I felt like I was there with Beth every step of the way. I wanted to give her a hug and be her friend, and yell at her in her weakest moments. I found myself to drawn into this book that I was stealing snatches of time to read it. I even found myself reading on my lunch break to make it to the end. Beth found herself in a dilemma of many marriage partners, tempted by the acceptance and adoration of someone else. I could really feel Beth's pain and sympathize with her. I wanted her to pull back and look outside of herself. To find the happiness in herself to make her a more present and happy person for her family. Although this book facing some moral marital challenges it is written from a true standpoint. There is no sugar coating. You are clearly in Beth's mind as she is going through this attempt to spice up her life. At about the70% mark I really enjoyed the story but was thinking that it was more of a 4 star book until I read the last 30%. Something about the complete bearing of one's soul for the world to see. For allowing herself to open up and for the final paragraph that made me cry for the bravery of such a painful learning experience; and for the story shared. It was a strong and emotional finish and earned the 5 stars for me. I highly recommend this book, but caution that it is a VERY realistic look into what some marital issues can entail. If you aren't ready to deal with those emotions, then you may not be ready for this book.
This book raises so many conflicting feelings!! Let me begin by saying this book is an amazing piece of literature. The writing style was so smooth and logical. I love a book like this because I can really focus on the characters and get inside the story. And oh what a story it was. So…..I don't know how you feel about adultery, but I am against it. I know there are some out there that don't have strong feelings one way or another, but I have pretty strong beliefs about it. That being said, I was able to empathize with Beth and see how and why this was happening to her. I don't think there is a better feeling than having a author that can take something I am so passionate about (no pun intended J) and bring me around to her way of thinking. This was HUGE for me. I was worried I would not be able to get over my feelings on the matter and really feel the character. By the end I was thankful for Beth, but mad at her too. It was interesting. I have literally been sitting on this book for a while now because I couldn't quit put my feelings together about it. There is not a doubt in my mind that I loved this book and I would recommend it to ANY WOMAN (maybe even some men). You need to sit down and push everything else away and really dig into this book!
A beautiful story about a woman who wavers and is tempted. Beth could be any wife, any her mother. Her life is busy but simple. Even if her couple is not as passionated than at the beginning, she has postponed her affection on her children. Only when a young man notices the woman instead of the mother and wife, Beth's life is upset. She found herself with a racing heart, her head in the clouds and fire in her cheeks... She is in trouble! In this story, I liked Beth's girl friends. Shelly does not react like a best friend and judges the situation. As for Jill, who is having an affair, she is happy to share her double life with someone without feeling remorse. Both are like the devil and angel of Beth's conscience. Far from judging, the author shows the difficulties of temptation. The pain and guilt of a woman who is looking at herself. This story also shows the strength need to make a couple live happily ever after. No fairy tales in the real life! Both partners need to accept weaknesses, listen and communicate to continue to love each other over the time. A banal love story told with simplicity and courage. Very well done!

I think every married woman with little kids goes through this at some point. Great read. I didn't think i would like this book but i was pulled right in.
Free book for review. All of the ups and downs of a good marriage gone bad. But this one ends on a positive note. A good read.
When I first started reading this book I was instantly hooked. I recently got married in June and have been with my husband (dating) for almost seven years and I can relate to Beth. I used to always feel like I was in a rut and my husband didn't pay attention to me so this book hit pretty close to home for me. I fell in love with Shelly and think every woman should have a friend like her. I didn't like how Beth was disconnected but I understood. I actually like Rick, a lot and felt bad for him. I could imagine his tortured expressions and it was heart breaking. The story was well written and I did enjoy it. I wish there was a little bit of a back story of Beth and Rick-to see where and why they fell apart but overall amazing book!
This is a story that I think any married woman with kids can relate to. The author did an excellent job of getting into her character's head and making her real. Of course, the author is married with kids, so I am sure she understands. Beth's dilemmas and temptations stem from one thing – lack of communication with her husband. When you have busy lives, communication is not a hard thing to lose. I really enjoyed the story and how the author chose to portray Beth's life with her family. She obviously comes from a loving family but somehow lost herself in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When tempted with the ability to feel something for herself again, she caved. She's human. Not that it's right, but that's what happens – affairs, divorce, unhappy marriages – everyday. Beth's inner turmoil was portrayed well in the story, and it makes her a relatable character. I would recommend this story to any woman who is married, whether they have ever had thoughts of an affair or not. It's an eye opening tale of temptation very close to home.
Is This All There Is? by Patricia Mann in my opinion was very well written, serious novel. The story is about Beth, a wife and mother that works as a part time professor and is about to embark on an affair. I felt Beth was trying so hard to be the perfect wife and mother, that she felt susceptible to the attention of Dave, one of her former students. Sometimes people try to be perfect for someone else and live to their ideals of who they should be that in the process they lose who they are. The author manages to really put a reader in the mind of the character. You can feel Beth's inner turmoil. I do feel she should have tried sooner to fix her relationship with her husband Rick, before almost going to far with Dave. I did really enjoy this novel. It's definitely the type of novel that makes you think of what would you do if you were in the same situation that Beth was in. A review copy was provided in exchange for honest review.
I was given a copy of this book for AAR. I wasn't sure what to expect because I don't like to know too much about a book before I read it for a review. This is not a story I would normally read, as its not really a romance, as a life experience story. The story Beth weaves as she goes through life as a mom of two with a struggling marraige drew me in though and I found I could sympathize with many of her feelings and fears as she struggles with infedelity and guilt. I am not married, but the feelings relate to so many things in life that I wanted to keep reading and find out how Beth and Rick handled the challenges of life. I really enjoyed the book.
This book is an ARC given to me by the author for an honest review. This book was definitely not my usual read. It is however a book that dives right into the psyche and heart of the 30 to 40 something women who have their plates full with family, work and everyday life. I would find it hard to believe that there is a woman out there who hasn't had similar internal struggles to Beth. Dave was a very likeable character. I had compassion for him and if I were to be in Beth's position, don't know that I could make the right choices (whatever they may be) either. Rick was a character that was difficult to gauge because the book was from Beth's point of view and her vision of Rick wasn't clear enough to get the real picture on him. This definitely had a nonfiction feel to it. The human-female struggle to communicate honestly, accept yourself and the choices you make in life are central themes and definitely worth the read. I would recommend this read to any woman who has ever questioned the decisions that they make in life. Haven't we all?
IS THIS ALL THERE IS? By Patricia Mann ABOUT THE BOOK: Released January 3, 2013 Beth Thomas has the perfect life. At thirty-five, she's married to her college sweetheart, has two adorable kids, and teaches part time at the local university. But when a friend persuades Beth to go dancing on a rare night out, a chance meeting with twenty one year old Dave, one of her former students, changes the course of her life. Loud music, too much to drink, and the thrill of feeling young again lead to an unforgettable kiss that was never supposed to happen. As she tries to put the memory behind her, Dave's pursuit leaves Beth torn between what her mind says is right and what her heart and body crave. REVIEW: Patricia Mann's IS THIS ALL THERE IS ? is a story for anyone considering an affair. Whether it is an affair of the heart or a physical affair there are dangers, heartbreak, excitement, sorrow, anger, pain, retribution and regret. Beth Thomas is a married woman with two small children, teaches part time at the local college and, she and her husband have fallen into a rut. Desire has given way to ambivalence and sex has given way to sleep. Like many young families, there are days, even weeks, where it seems everything leads to a diaper pail or washing machine. But for Beth Thomas, an opportunity presents itself in the guise of a former student who has had a major crush on his teacher since the first time he laid eyes on her. What woman wouldn't want the adoration and attention of a hot twenty-something young man who had yet to fall prey to the realities of life. But Beth knows she is treading into dangerous waters and no one will win in the end. IS THIS ALL THERE IS is one woman's journey into the unknown. Like many woman, Beth feels she is missing something in her life. She is not actively looking for anything or anyone, but she is floundering in her present circumstance. Real life isn't pretty some days but the alternative is even uglier. Relationships are difficult at best and many couples find themselves dissatisfied with the direction of their marriage. This is not to say that these couples stray or go looking for something on the side. Children can bring out a side to people that they never knew existed. Raising a family is hard, especially in today's society where everyone is looking for something different, something new. And falling into a rut, into a familiar pattern but a pattern that is going around in circles, can sometimes pull the person into another direction. Whether intentionally or otherwise, looking for something different isn't always better. IS THIS ALL THERE IS is an eye-opener for anyone considering stepping outside of the marriage. Many women (and men) will recognize themselves-whether it is in the form of the married woman who is looking for something different or the mother whose self-image is now tied to her family. The reality of the situation will strike a chord with many readers and will have you thinking-IS THIS ALL THERE IS? Patricia Mann has written a storyline, whether taken from real life or a work of fiction, that will make you sit up and think. It will be a difficult read for some, especially those who have experienced the emotional trauma and heartache of an affair. Is it worth the physical and emotional pain to look for something different, when everything you ever needed, was at home-waiting to be explored and discovered. Copy supplied by author
Is This All There Is floored me with the similarities between the book and real life. 30-40 year old moms find themselves where Beth was in this book. The story is very well written and the author develops the characters well. From the best friend, Beth's thoughts on her friends weight loss, Beth never taking time for herself, her husband reminding her to pick up the dry cleaning, her nursing, and the secret eating the story is too real. I was so empathetic to Beth and where she was and kept thinking been there done that. I didn't even judge her when she went outside with Dave and one thing led to the other. I got it I really did but Dave was so creepy after a while. I kept thinking Fatal Attraction. Beth was so far in and gone she couldn't recognize it. I mean really, I love you didn't scare her and she said it back! What in the world? It took her getting caught to really appreciate where she went wrong. Beth spent so much time being "lost" that she didn't realize her husband was also just making it through. Like I said too real, too raw. I don't think there are any readers that read this story and could judge or say those thoughts had never entered their mind. One lesson to learn? Its always fun and new and romantic and steamy at the beginning but would those things endure when you add "real life" to the mix? When you add a 7 and 1 year old? When you are working in the home and out? When money problems enter the relationship? It quickly makes you realize its just as "easy" to put the effort back into the relationship with your spouse than moving on. Thank you Patricia Mann for sharing your story, it made it all the more special. I could relate to Beth that said, the story was almost just too real. I read to "get away" not read about real life so this genre is probably not for me. I will say, reading this story made me feel validated and that I am not a failure as a mom or a wife, just tired. This story also made me understand my husband and our life more
Worth a read! Mann's writing shows a definite understanding of the challenges of today's working mother and how easy the requirements of family and home can take over. When Beth, a likeable part-time college professor and mother of 2, is on the receiving end of unexpected attention and emotional support, she realizes she's been missing it dearly. Her naivety leads Beth to becomes torn between desires and the home life she fears to lose - a subject that hits home for many. Grab a copy now

I was looking for my son one day and couldn't find him anywhere. I finally decided to check teh guest bedroom. As I approached the bedroom I could hear some noise. I was instantly upset with him. I bet he was in there to watch porn. I had caught him before as he was searching through channels looking for some tits and ass. I told him if I caught him again he was going to be grounded for a week. He doesn't need to learn things from a tv.
As I started to push the door open I heard a different voice. It was Jill, my niece. She is about 4 years older than my son. She had on only a pair of panties and was in the middle of taking them off too. Part of me wanted to go in and stop everything, the other part wanted to watch.
You know which won out. I wanted to watch. Jill is a pretty girl and has always stuck by my son
When she took his hand and placed it on her pussy I thought how hot. I had a perfect spot to see everything. She put her hand on the back of his head and lead him to her pussy.
I heard her say "now run your tongue through the lips". I saw him obey. She was fondling her titties. They we so into it. I heard a car drive up and they heard it too. It was her mother. Dayum; that was the end of my peeking. I will have to get her over soon cause I know she is going to fuck him at some point. I want to see it.

The file /var/log/lastlog by default seems to have 600 permissions
The program finger consults this file to find the date/time of a

means that, unless you give world read permission on this file, a
second symptom will be that fingering any user not presently logged

(This took me a while to track down because I erroneously assumed

Hahaha Awesome!
Flawless Victory
Napier getting a lot of work done here.
early signing period cant get here fast enough
I agree. If this team shows discipline, never quit attitude and be competitive in every game, the ship will right itself. And one more thing, no more off the field drama. I have a feeling that we'll see this happen this year and attendance will go up and even though our record may not reflect it, we will see a better team this season.
The games we win this year will be the games in which we're able to run the ball effectively. Since our defense will not be very good, we'll need to keep them off the field as much as possible. We need to see lots of 15 play, 8 minute touchdown drives so we can keep the defense off the field as much as possible.
Don't disagree, the more we can keep the defense off the field, the better. I personally don't care if those 15+ play drives are passing or running. Ball control is key. Stay away from the throw it up and hope our athletic WR is better than their DB.
I get how fans are worried about the passing game, based upon past play calling/routes run. If we don't have a WR or two running open more often then not this season, I will be disappointed.

Bad Credit Credit Cards - How To Get One
Recent harsh economic times have meant more and more people have picked up some form of bad credit information on their credit file. Whether it's late payments on a loan, missed catalogue payments, or mortgage arrears, every financial misstep you make is recorded and is available to potential creditors when they are deciding whether or not to approve your application.
Even in the years of cheap and easy credit, this made it more difficult to get a credit card than if you had no blemishes on your file. These days, with credit in general in scarce supply, having a poor credit rating makes it harder than ever to have a credit card application approved.
This doesn't mean you have no options though.
Be Realistic
The first and most obvious point to make is that you need to be realistic when applying for a card. The top-of-the-range cards offering great APRs, cashback deals, balance transfers and so on are not likely to be available to people without excellent credit ratings. If you apply for one of these 'best buy' cards, you're likely to be rejected if you have any sort of adverse information on your credit file.
Not only is this a waste of time, it can actually make the situation worse as every failed credit application is recorded on your file, and too many entries of this type will make your overall credit rating worse than ever.
If your credit rating is reasonable, with no serious black marks such as defaults or CCJs, you may be able to get a general card from your bank, which while it won't have a whole lot of benefits or attractive features, it will do the job at a reasonable interest rate. If, however, your credit rating is really not so good, you'll have to look elsewhere.
Specifically 'Bad Credit' Credit Cards
There are a range of cards on the market which are specifically aimed at applicants who have poor credit ratings, or no credit history at all on which the issuer can make an informed decision. These cards, of which the most well known is probably the Capital One Classic, have little in the way of features - you won't find cashback, rewards, or 0% balance transfers on these cards - and will also tend to have a low credit limit to begin with (although your limit can be raised over time as you keep your account in good standing).
The main drawback of these cards is that they have a high interest rate (APR). Whereas mainstream cards usually have an APR in the mid teens to mid twenties, bad credit credit cards usually start at about the 30% APR mark and rise up to 50% or even higher depending on how bad your credit rating is. These high rates are to protect the issuer against the greater risk of defaulting which comes with issuing cards to people who've had financial problems in the past, and is something you'll just have to accept if you're in the market for a bad credit credit card.
The trick to making these cards work for you is to use them for convenience when paying online etc, but to clear your bill in full each month so as to avoid paying any interest on what you've borrowed. Even if you can't clear your account every month, you should try to run as low a balance as possible - even more so than other forms of credit, these cards are very far away from being 'free money', so use with caution.
If your credit rating is extremely bad, you may not have the option of getting a regular credit card, but if you want to enjoy the convenience of paying by plastic, all is not lost - a prepaid or secured credit card might be an option worth looking at, which we'll cover in depth in a later article.

Blogging is definitely NOT like riding a bicycle. It takes effort, and most of all time, to put some of this stuff together. I am back on track and will continue to post when time allows. I've been run ragged over the last couple of weeks and it's only bound to get worse as my wife and I are expecting any day now. Please be patient.
One of the topics I've been paying really close attention to is Huntley, Illinois. The village board is considering rescinding a two year old requirement for sprinklers in single family dwellings. I'm pretty sure the vote by the village board is Thursday night. I know the vote is planned for early September. I'm just not sure if is this week or next. We'll know by Friday morning if it's this week.
Huntley Neighbors is a forum where residents are able to post comments, opinions and discuss neighborhood issues. The sprinkler requirement has been one such topic debated in the forum. This thread even has a poll of residents revealing where residents stand regarding the requirement.
I'm following this story closely because I believe it could have wider implications across the nation for those jurisdictions whom have also set sprinkler requirements for single family homes and more importantly for those cities considering such a requirement.

Air Conditioning Repair
Proper routine maintenance of your A/C can easily maintain your vehicle cabin temperature for the comfort of you and your passengers. Protech Auto & Truck Service Center offers quality air conditioning repair services in Bellevue, PA and Coraopolis, PA and Baden, PA and Bellevue, PA and Coraopolis, PA and Baden.
Heating and A/C systems function to keep your car warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The air conditioning system also operates your defrost in the winter months. Heating systems are made up of a heater core that acts like a small radiator fan, and hoses that operate the warmth from the engine to the center of your vehicle. Air conditioning systems function pretty much the same, by delivering coolant to the fan to blow cool air into the cabin. Your heater and air conditioning do not completely operate off electrical elements, however they use the engine's heat and the engine's cooling abilities to alter the temperature level.
Heating and A/C systems could wear out over time, hose pipes could clog and leak, and this causes poor performance with the heating and cooling system. Proper maintenance will keep your vehicle comfortable for you and your passengers.
How to detect if there is a problem with heating and cooling unit:
- If your A/C blows only somewhat cooler than the outside air temperature
- The air that does blow in smells damp, or like mold
- Your inside of the car does not heat up in cold weather, or is only slightly warmer than outside
- Your defroster takes longer that usual to function, and blows in filthy air, or doesn't seem to work at all
- It seems the unit for heat or cool air only works when driving and not when idling, or quits blowing when the automobile is in park
- Heater blows chilly air, or the A/C blows warm air
- At the highest settings, your vents do not push out much air
We access the heating and cooling systems to detect any issues:
- Examining the interior and blower
- Inspect the radiator coolant level, hoses, pressure cap and the thermostat
- We test the compressor belts
- We check for punctures or additional damages
- There is a cooling system pressure examination
- Comparing the A/C pressure with the manufacturers specs
- Test for refrigerant cracks in the A/C system
- Examination of the air temperature level within the interior

Daniel Defense DDM4v11 Kryptek Typhon
Price: $1,595.00 | Product Code: DDM4v11 | Availability: In Stock
The DDM4 V11 Kryptek Typhon, based on the popular V9 series, was designed for shooters who prefer the benefits of the KeyMod system integrated in the new SLiM RAIL™. KeyMod is a recoil resistant, two-part, direct attachment method for accessories that offers outstanding "return-to-zero" when accessories are removed and reinstalled. The new SLiM RAIL 15.0 offers incredible weight savings as well as superior cooling, ergonomics, and modularity while maintaining the strength and durability expected from Daniel Defense. The long, 15" rail gives operators the option to have the support hand extended out close to the muzzle allowing them to drive the gun more precisely and prevents over travel when transitioning between multiple targets. This combined with our mid-length gas system, which is known to have a smoother recoil impulse, allows for quick, but precise rapid fire. An uninterrupted picatinny rail on top and KeyMod attachment at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock ensures plenty of real estate for optics and accessories and allows for maximum sight radius for accurate shooting with rail mounted iron sights. The DDM4V11 is equipped with a free-floating, Cold Hammer Forged, 16" Government profile barrel and the newly designed, rugged and comfortable Daniel Defense Buttstock and Pistol grip.
Kryptek patterns utilize a multi-directional design to effectively conceal in a multitude of terrains that have either a lateral or vertical flow. The bi-level layering of the patterns incorporate background transitional shading and sharp random geometrical foregrounds to create a three-dimensional effect that ensures the utmost in concealment at both close and long ranges. These components, combined with colorations selected and matched based on input from testing and observations from Operators in the field, make Kryptek patterns optimal for many different environments.
This gun is pre-owned and lightly used. It has had the factory Daniel Defense buttstock swapped out for a Magpul ACS. It comes with its factory case, manual, and magazine.
