Data center communication is about more than just machines talking to each other correctly; it's also about employees and management exchanging information clearly, respectfully and honestly. Here are some tips to help foster a data center environment conducive to this type of communication.
Clarity of Language Promotes Clarity of Thought
Speaking clearly may be a little more difficult than writing clearly (writing tends to leave more time for thought, whereas speech often leaves less), but the same general rules of clarity apply to both. Although being vague is sometimes necessary owing to a lack of sufficient knowledge, sometimes it's just a way to dodge blame or even sow discord. These are some things to watch out for, both in written and verbal communication.
- Avoid euphemisms. A euphemism is a linguistic candy coating: it is a way of saying something that makes the situation sound better than it really is. An easily recognizable example is "collateral damage," which in a military context generally means unintended bloodshed. Euphemisms blunt the seriousness of a situation and can hamper clarity. For instance, "A couple servers had some issues some time ago" might sound more pleasant than "the data center went offline last night," but it doesn't reflect the urgency of the situation. And although marketing employees might prefer euphemisms to make a situation look better to customers and the public, you need more forthright communication in the data center.
- Be honest/be respectful. Which should you be? Honest or respectful? The answer is a firm both. Yes, honesty may be the best policy, but that doesn't mean you should flap your gums about everything. Sometimes, an honest statement or response is necessary for the situation; in other cases, it simply causes harm to others without any benefit. Seek a balance between honesty and respect. If someone is doing something destructive to the business or the data center, have the courage to say it (preferably to the person first). If it's something you just don't like because of your preferences, keep quiet and get over it.
- Avoid marketing jargon. You've heard them: stupid words or phrases that everyone uses blindly—and they drive you mad. (Try "The Most Annoying, Pretentious And Useless Business Jargon" [http://www.forbes.com/sites/groupthink/2012/01/26/the-most-annoying-pretentious-and-useless-business-jargon/] for some examples.) Type "irritating phrases" or something similar in a search engine, and you'll find numerous lists of them. So, next time you touch base with a coworker, try empowering yourself by thinking outside the box—and avoid tacky words and phrases.
- Put yourself in the other guy's shoes. Sometimes, it's easy to let our mouths work before our brains. But you can still work on getting into the habit of considering how your words will affect other people. Think how you would feel if someone said something similar to you; again, a balance between honesty and respect is required, but consider whether what you're about to say will build up or tear down others. If it's going to tear someone else down, chances are you shouldn't say it.
- Avoid slipshod writing a la instant messenger. If you've used Internet-based chat (whatever the forum) or text messaging, you've probably been tempted to dispense with capitalization, punctuation, proper spelling and even the rules of grammar. In fact, you've probably given in from time to time, if not regularly. This may be somewhat understandable for texting, where typing is a chore and messages must be short, but in most other written communication, it's just plain lousy. When you write without using a single capital (or, worse, you turn on "caps lock"), you convey to your reader a lack of professionalism and distract from the information you're trying to convey. Not everyone is an excellent writer, but try to at least put some effort into making your written communication, whatever the medium, look halfway professional. It will encourage your reader to give due attention to what you're trying to say, since you made an effort to present it well.
- Wait a minute or two before you hit "send." An angry email may be worse than an angry word—it's on record forever (well, for a long time, anyway). But taking a pause after you've written an email, setting it aside and then rereading it later before you send it can save you a lot of hassles, and not just in the area of personal relations. By rereading your email, you may find an embarrassing typo or something you didn't explain very well. Sure, email sometimes is an informal medium, and you probably don't need to reread an acknowledgment that you'll be attending some company function. If you're writing in anger or another strong emotion, however, a "cooling off" period before you irrevocably send the message is probably in order.
- Use common sense. Whatever you do, don't ignore the little voice telling you that something you're about to say or write is somehow really wrong. As with George Orwell's rules of writing ("George Orwell's Rules for Writers" http://grammar.about.com/od/writersonwriting/a/OrwellRules.htm), common sense trumps everything else. Use your brain when you're communicating.
Don't Just Rely on Meetings
Meetings are often the butt of jokes, owing to their all-too-common pretentious way of getting nothing done. Worse, however, is that meetings often cater primarily to just a couple people—those who are most comfortable either thinking on their feet or just gasbagging. Meetings often leave out (despite their physical presence) those who may not be as comfortable speaking in front of groups or who prefer to think matters through carefully before talking about them. IT people in particular should be suspicious of meetings as a primary means of discussion or decision making—after all, if you work in IT, you're intimately familiar with all the different means of communication that don't involve gathering in a stuffy room.
Therefore, don't just use a standard meeting as the means of making decisions or presenting information. Consider those who learn best by reading rather than hearing, as well as those who communicate best by writing rather than by speaking. If you must have a meeting, give people the chance to discuss matters over email—this provides a chance to think quietly and express their views at their own pace. In an actual meeting, encourage more than just the two or three most verbose individuals to contribute—but don't put them in a corner. (Maybe you've been in the loathsome situation of hearing "Now we'll go around the room and everyone will say something about X.")
Nothing in this article is new or brilliant. It includes nothing but simple, common-sense tips to improve communication in the data center—or any context—and to encourage participation by everyone, not just those who speak well. By fostering clarity, respect and honesty (all in the right balance), you can improve relationships among employees and managers, speed the flow of ideas and information, and thus take an important step toward a more successful business. To summarize in a few words, think before you speak (or write).

University Spin-outs
Research Students
Example 4: Socrates & Aristotle
Socrates and Aristotle are research students who have been working on the Republic University project on faster-acting hemlock. When the spin-out in Example 2 (ERSM100110) is set up, and before funding is introduced, they are each offered 2 shares for £2, together with an employment position to continue the research. The shares are worth £100 each
Socrates accepts the shares but is returning to Greece and declines the employment opportunity. His shares will not be employment-related securities, as he was not employed by the University and will not be employed by the spin-out, and he will not need the Chapter 4A relief. Any gain, if the spin-out succeeds and he can sell for a profit, will only be liable to CGT if he is then within the scope of UK taxation.
Aristotle accepts both the shares and the employment position. To remove any Income Tax and NIC liability on acquisition he will claim the relief available under Chapter 4A as the employment with the spin-out company means his shares are employment-related securities.

is that a bumper sticker, or what?
We're not the only ones who voted for Gore in 2000 and will vote for Bush in 2004. There are actually hundreds of us. That may not yet qualify as a phenomenon, but it will if there are thousands. See Judith Weiss posts at Kesher Talk Wednesday (August 11) AND Thursday (August 12) for lots of links.
It may have started at Vodkapundit, and it may have only just begun. Amazing. and encouraging. to say the least.
Someone at ABC News' The Note invited anyone who voted for Al Gore in 2000 and is planning to vote for George Bush in 2004 to write to them and tell them who you are and why. They've received hundreds of responses. If you fit the bill, write to firstname.lastname@example.com

"I would describe my style as "painterly". you can see the brush strokes. I like to add drama through shadow and the play of light and dark. I've put Boba Fett in Jabba's Palace. The curved doorway casts a shadow across his figure. A slash of light cutting across the breast plate and picking up hints of the Wookie scalps that he collects as trophies. I've always liked the look of his armor......the dents, scrapes, chipped paint and overall beat up look." - Kim Gromoll

Fascinating, very cleverly thought out plot about the discovery of an unknown Shakespeare manuscript - unfortunately garnished with unnecessary violence.

The choices we make as teachers
"She wasn't like you…wasn't like any politician I've ever known."
Ethan Kanin, Secretary of State about US president Allison Taylor in the US serial, 24
When an ethical dilemma arises, the choices we make decide our ethical concerns and moral position in a given situation. In the TV serial, 24, the US president faces such an ethical dilemma when she has to either cover up for her daughter's crime or get her arrested. She is torn between the role of a mother and that of a President. She chooses her sworn duty to protect the country and has her daughter arrested. She gives precedence to her duty as the President of a country over her mother's role.
We encounter such ethical dilemmas in our lives. I was working as a professor in one of the medical schools in the Caribbean region. The medical school in the Caribbean offers courses in pre- and para-clinical subjects and after the completion of these courses, the students are sent for clinical rotation to a medical school in the USA. After successfully completing the clinical rotation, they undergo internship and then they are awarded their degree in medicine.
When I taught at the medical school, I enjoyed the confidence of the students. I found that the contract between the Caribbean medical school and the medical school in the USA had been cancelled and, therefore, the students could not complete their clinical rotation. To gain the confidence of the students and to circumvent the situation, the management asked me to bring my son to the School as a pre-medical student. They said they would waive the fees and he could graduate from the school. I informed my son in India about the possibility of being a medical student in the Caribbean island. My son was very happy and informed all his friends and family about joining the pre-medical school in the West Indies.
I realised that they were using my son as a ploy to gain confidence and to cover up for their broken contract with the US medical school. I had to face the dilemma of whether to be a father to my son or a teacher to my students. The medical school had waived the fees of approximately US$ 75000. I told my son not to travel and chose to remain a loyal teacher to my students. In the process, I lost the confidence of my son and the support of the management. I did not care about the management for they were cheating students who are like my own children. Yet from that day onwards, my son carried a grudge so strong that it left a big dent in our relationship. I have to live with his grudge lifelong, but I did save those students from falling prey to such a situation. Those students work in their leisure time and save money to pay their tuition fees semester-wise.
I thought I would save the sons and daughters (my students) as well as my own son from joining a medical school wherein he/she may or may not graduate. Remember, as a teacher I was very successful but as a father, my image fell in the eyes of my son. From that day onwards, he thinks I am not a good father but a great teacher.

When Do We Start TSD?
Rebecca has been a school which uses SEE for 2 years, TSD uses ASL. We have always exposed her to both, but used SEE primarily since her school uses SEE. I am trying to get my SEE certification. It would also alter the life of our other daughter who will be entering 5th grade. She has never had consistancy in her life before and our home and her school have been her rock. Moving would set her back again! I bring up moving because when Rebecca comes to school here, we will move here! I do not feel comfortable not knowing her friends or just leaving her days without seeing her or knowing who she is with (I know, I am a control freak!).
We are leaning towards waiting another year, then moving the girls when they both start middle school since they would be changing schools anyway. Maybe that would be an easier transistion. I believe that regional dayschools and mainstreamed school are great for exposure to the hearing world and has taught Rebecca a lot, but a Deaf school would give her such self-esteem and she could participate in so many activities. At her school, there are no Deaf teachers, no Deaf adults working there at all! Here, Deafness is all around you. She would have wonderful role models and feel confident that she could grow up and do whatever she wants! The Texas School for the Blind also works closely with TSD and she would receive great care from them as well as her vision declines.
So, my dilema is not whether or not to send Rebecca to TSD, it has become WHEN do I send Rebecca to TSD?? She has already stated that she wants to start here next year. I am not sure that is the best solution for the whole family. I think one more year will not harm Rebecca and we can gather our finances and prepare for the move to Austin next year. Anyone else gone through this??

My parents moved from Virginia to New York so that I could attend a school for the deaf there as a commuting day student at age 11.
Looking back, I feel it would have been better if I were younger when they did that, for the reason it would mean a stronger and earlier tie to the Deaf community that my classmates had already grown into. After about age 7, one's language and reading habits are well established, so education is not affected.
I sent my son to the same school, also as a day student, and he moved to the dorm at 16. (At that age it was appropriate because it prepared him for living away from home.)
Moving generally accomplishes more than one thing. For my family it was more job opportunities in my dad's field, a larger home in a new suburb, closer to amenities that we would all need, and a college town atmosphere.
How we identified the city was by recommendation by Gallaudet. They gave us a list of the top five schools that were referring well-prepared students, and this was the first one we looked at.
There will be minuses in every move, and one is loss of stability. In today's times, it can be healthy to develop adaptive resiliency, however. Your other daughter may also gain more than she loses, and may learn that having family helps one adapt as well.

What a hard decision to make! We just moved for our little guy's schooling, too, so I know where you're coming from. Sounds like you are making the right decision.
I've heard great things about TSD, by the way. Should we ever end up moving back to Texas, we'd strongly consider them as an option for our son.
Hope things go well for you!
- June 14, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Classic dilemma you have there. Given the sisters in their last year of elementary school the whole family should be considered so if I was you I'd stay put one more year and move to Austin. You do need to realize that if you choose Texas School for the Deaf your SEE certification won't matter. Given all the boastful claims about ASL/Bi-Bi on part of certain deaf schools in the United States you must also hold not only yourself but the Texas School for the Deaf accountable. Good luck.

I was once being tried send to TSD. My parents reject the ideal from the council who suggest that I should be at. Neverless, I spend my life in mainstream school. And turn out I'm okay. I don't know what would affect to me if I being send to TSD.
It's more like I would be homesick or not know my parents enough.

Both of my parents attended a deaf school. My Mom attended from 7-9 years old (went home because she refused to eat and was homesick) then from 14-21. My Dad attended from 9-21 years old.
The school was hundred of miles from their families.
Looking at their lives I see so many pluses and minuses.
They received educations! My Dad couldn't even speak at 9 years old. Now he is unbelievably smart. My Mom never passed a class in the 5 years she attended public school. Both graduated from the Deaf School. Both have had successful careers and raised a family.
They gained confidence and friendships while attending the school. Lifelong friendships...family really.
They learned how to identify with being deaf and how to be confident in a hearing world.
BUT they still feel like visitors with there families. Both are extremely close to their families, yet something is missing. They don't have the same childhood memories as their siblings. There is so much "oh, you must have been away at school".
It is a horrible trade off. I don't know what decision I would make.
The best advice I could give you (but most likely not practicle) Move near the school!

I would suggest you see the counselor who might help you decide you would start TSD or not because when one of the students I know was put into the state school for the deaf in Washington state, she was very confused and upset because she who was adopted after birth felt that she was abandoned again when her adoptive parents left for home.

Martha makes a valuable point about being raised away from family, something my parents would never consider, same for myself.
However, being raised in one's hearing family is no guarantee of feeling membership as well as kinship.
I felt the same disconnect with my hearing parents and sister, and this is probably due to their pure oral philosophy as well as inclination to regard the Deaf community as irrelevant.
Since you are keeping your daughter home and planning the move at a natural transition point, you have less to be concerned about...especially when you are also including sign language in the environment.
As for SEE, there will be a time when you all will be moving toward ASL since it is the language of the Deaf Community while SEE is generally used at the lower levels of schooling, if at all. Just relax and go with the flow. It'll happen.

Gosh, I understand it is a difficult decision. I have a 16 year old who is hard of hearing and has RP. He was mainstreamed in his home school during all his school years. It was okay during elementary school. Once he started high school, he became depressed. He had no social life, no friends. I made the decision to send him to Illinois School for the Deaf two years ago. He is a totally different kid now. He is much happier.
He is getting O & M instruction now during the summer. The interesting thing is, the O & M instructor believes visually impaired kids should be educated in the home community. In my son's case, it is not an option. He needs to be with other hoh/deaf kids like himself. I plan on requesting the school to provide O & M lessons.
My 13 year old son also attends ISD, he loves there and considers them as their 2nd family.
People will tell you their opinion, but the decision is yours to make.

Welcome to the Masters Miata Club. We are a group of local Miata enthusiasts encompassing the 13-county Central Savannah River Area.
We meet each month on the first Thursday for dinner and a short meeting; also on the third Saturday for a drive and, either before or after, for breakfast. So you can see our motto of, "Drive eat, drive eat', fits us well. We are all of different backgrounds and age, so you will find a fit – but it's all about the car. The Mazda Miata (Mx-5) introduced in 1989, has become the most popular roadster in history with over a million built. Larry Garner, one of our past presidents, often refers to it as "the most fun-per-dollar car you can drive." We also plan trips as a group, often finding the type roads the Miata was designed for – you know, those "Curves Ahead" signs. Many other events are scheduled (like tech-day for minor to-do's and the Bug-Splat) during the year and some may pop-up as the weather permits. We're always looking for a new place to enjoy a topless drive.
The only requirements for membership are that you are a current or former owner of at least one Miata, and pay your annual dues. Yes, many of our members own two and more. Go to the JOIN link, print and fill out the form; then bring it to the next meeting you can attend. Scheduling will vary depending on when Holiday's fall, so be sure to check.
While you're here, take a little time to browse around our web-site: check the CALENDAR for next/future meeting's and events, the BLOG for you never know what you might find (Miata related of course) and if you just want more information the CONTACT US link.
Hope to see you and your Miata at a meeting soon.

I was in the Philippines on a disaster relief trip last year.
One thing that struck me was how eager the people were to go out of their way to make us feel welcome.
It initially made me feel very uncomfortable and uneasy. After all the whole purpose of us being out there was to help them, not the other way round. From cooking all our delicious meals, to carrying our backpacks, to compromising their living quarters to accommodate us - I felt remorse for any inconvenience or disruption I posed to them.
However, one incident made me see things in a different light.
We were in Malawing to distribute supplies and assist with the building of houses. Along with many others in the village, her house had been destroyed by the vicious typhoon. During a breather we were taking from the work, she approached us with a pouch slung on her hips.
She tried to gift us bracelets and necklaces made of rough thread and seashell shards. I declined, thinking that it would not be right for me to take away from the very people I came to help. As she very dejectedly left after my staunch refusals, an elderly local man who had been sitting some distance away came to me.
" Why did you turn her away? "
" People desire a sense of fulfillment, that they have a role to contribute for the betterment of their fellow men. "
" It would be a great sorrow that you deny her assurance that she still has a purpose, some good to give to this world. "
" The kindest thing you could have done, is to graciously say yes. "
He then left.
For some moments, I sat mulling over his words.
Then I stood up, put on my sandals, and started walking.
I didn't have far to go before I spotted her playing with some younger children. When she saw me, her face lit up and her eyes glowed with recognition.
I smiled, pointed to her pouch and said
" Can you show me again? "
For the goodness they do is not solely for you, but for themselves also.


text: Many of us have countless experience baking sheet pan after sheet pan of bacon. The night before, we open a box of 18-22ct layer bacon and slip tow or three on a sheet pan, then a parchment then another pan. Repeat as necessary I never gave a thought to flavor profile of the bacon after it was baked. . Recently at work, I was making Quiche Lorraine for a brunch, and, like I always baked the bacon. In my particular situation, this keeps the bacon grease from splattering and also keeps the pieces of bacon flat. After I take the pan from the oven, I use a tongs to scoop up the bacon. I hold it over the pan for a moment and shake the bacon to get any last drops of fat. I place the bacon on a paper towel lined pan. Adversely, I would fry the pieces of bacon in a large pan on the stove top. I must stand over them and attend to them towards the end of cooking time, so that those that take longer to cook get moved around while the finished ones are removed. I found a taste difference between the 2. It really is more or a mouth feel difference, as opposed to flavor. The baked bacon tastes a bit more greasy then the pan fried. tried 3 different brands for the test, One as a maple smoked, one was Oscar Mayer, an the third was thick sliced Anybody else,find this to be true.

I am dubious about this story, but it is being reported that the Government Shutdown May Have Caused a DC Area Baby Boom:
The 2013 government shutdown, which lasted from Oct. 1 to Oct. 16, was the cause of a lot of anxiety in the D.C. area.
With so many government workers living in the District, Maryland and Virginia, thousands were anxious about falling behind on bills while they weren't receiving paychecks. We now have an idea of what they may have done to soothe their nerves.
July 1 marked exactly 9 months since many government workers in the area were sent home for more than two weeks as Congress argued about the nation's finances.
WNEW's Kimberly Suiters reports that Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington has seen an additional 100 babies born in the last three months compared to that time period in 2013.
Sibley Hospital in Northwest D.C. has seen three more babies than normal per day this month.
I'm not convinced. First of all, while it may be true that "many" government workers were anxious during the so-called government shutdown, in fact only 30 percent of them weren't paid during that period. Most of them continued to work and get paid as usual. So why would they need to soothe their nerves the inside-the-belt way? I mean, any more often than usual?
Of course, during the government 'shutdown' we were unable to spend all day and night watching the National Zoo's Giant Panda cam, as usual. So maybe my bored fellow feds were tappin' dat body politic to fill the otherwise empty hours.
Or, maybe it was that the resolution of the budget impasse unleashed a wave of unrestrained joy among Washington civil servants? Like V-E Day, only much smaller and localized?

ANNAPOLIS - Jon Hall, state conservationist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, has announced that Maryland is accepting applications for financial assistance for applying conservation practices through the Agricultural Management Assistance Program.
AMA helps producers adopt conservation practices and investment strategies that will reduce or mitigate risks to their agricultural enterprises.
All applications received by April 15, will receive consideration for AMA funds. On that date, applications received in NRCS offices will be evaluated and ranked according to levels of environmental benefits and available funds. After that date, if additional AMA funds remain, NRCS will evaluate and rank applications on May 15.
Maryland farmers interested in receiving financial assistance through AMA should contact their local NRCS or Soil Conservation District office at USDA Service Centers, for more information on eligible conservation practices, the application process, and receiving conservation assistance through the AMA Program. NRCS has leadership responsibility for implementing AMA.

Fail Safe Embedded File Systems
Using SD card storage media in embedded systems presents risks that may lead to serious loss of valuable data or, worse, corruption of the file system with no hope of recovery. In embedded applications this is an unacceptable scenario but, with careful design, it is a situation that never need occur. Using a fail-safe file system is one way to alleviate this problem but no file system can reduce the risk to zero on its own - it must be part of a system level approach to reliability. At the most fundamental level, for any system to be considered truly fail-safe, all layers of the system must be predictable and specify required behavior. Using an HCC fail-safe file system in conjunction with Swissbit's specially designed range of industrial SD cards with integrated power management provides a guarantee of reliability.

The garbha griha of the Kamakshi Amman temple is the seat of love and life giving energy. What appears to the naked eye is a flower decked Goddess center stage, with lamps around her as the Arti lights up her glowing face in sandal wood on stone.
What is not visible to the eye is the energy that is resplendent around her. What makes up this beauty, this aura that shines around this idol? At the foot of the goddess, the idol of which is a representation of her supreme force, is the peetha that contains the Sri chakra. This chakra surrounded by the eight devis who reside within their small niches, are present there because they belong to this realm. Without their presence the Sri Chakra is quite incomplete.
The peetha itself brings alive the presence of Shiva, the Sri chakra being the foundation on which he resides. Within the Sri Chakra, four entrance gateways lead to the center of this chakra, all meeting at the central circle with 8 and 16 petals each is housing a goddess attendant from the Devi's pantheon. 24 Goddesses reside here, each with a potent beeja mantra as they take their seats directionally around the center of this mandala. Having worshipped and pleased the 32 devis on the outside and given them offerings divine, the heart proceeds inside into a network of triangles. Devi Kosha, the seat of her presence, the potency of her being, the energy of her nature as the Goddess of love who married Lord Shiva, is intertwined within these triangles.
This is not a geometrical representation as much as it is a definition of intercourse, meeting of two energies, two pranas into a union. This union that is so pure, so beautiful, so intense and energizing, it is the seat of all creation. This union, that we give a moralistic garment to and restrict our own minds into a confused state of self control and a sense of disrespect, is actually beyond these equations altogether.
In the oil lamp light, in the mystic interior of this chamber dressed in vermillion, this peetha draws us back into its center, the core at which reside on the seat of all creation Lord Shiva and Shakti in the form of Somaskanda. The peetha inside which the Sri Chakra yantra is installed is a metaphorical representation of a Shiva linga peetha within the Garbha Griha of Kamakshi Amman, the loving consort of Lord Shiva. Such a divine couple, such potency to their presence, the Sri Chakra is representation of the Shiva Linga in a different way. It is not depicted in the traditional form of being divided into its various parts (Rudra bhaga, Vishnu Bhaga and Shiva Bhaga) but it represents the union of the divine parent.
In parallel, the beauty of these Goddesses comes alive at Ranipur, where even Kamakshi is represented as one of the leading goddesses dancing in the presence of Ajaikapada Bhairava and Swachchanda Bhairava, both representations of the fierce aspect of Shiva in amorous pleasure. This depiction is clearly brought out by the depiction of both in Urdhvalinga – erect phallic state. Kamakshi dances with a parrot at her feet, the parrot being the vahana (vehicle) of Kama, the Lord of love. This is brought out by the Kaula system of tantric tradition, where Shakti is Kula and Shiva is Akula , the union of both being Kaula – a sacred set of traditional rituals invoking Shiva and Shakti into one's sadhana.

Were Created This Way!
Ps 139:13-16
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
This as you will see, is a very good translation but we need to fill some of the pieces in to get a sense that there is absolutely no question about "are we created this way". You can take my word for it and read no farther. This says exactly what it sounds like. God created you Gender Variant. Or wade through and see the subtleties.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
The fact that man is manifest to God even to the very beginning of his nature, and in every place, is now confirmed from the origin of man. The word Create literally the "kidneys;" (not the heart), comes to denote the inward part, the mind, the soul, the seat of the desires, affections, and passions. The meaning here is, that God had made him; that the innermost recesses of his being had been constituted as they are by God; and that, "therefore," he must be able to see all that there is in the very depths of the soul, however it may be hidden from the eye of man. You knit me together in my mother's womb, meaning that God put our parts together, as one who weaves cloth, or who makes a basket. The original word has, however, also the idea of protecting, as in a booth or hut, woven or knit together, of boughs and branches.
Psalms 139:14
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well,
I will not merely admire but honor, this is not passive word but implies an active love, and gratitude. The word rendered "fearfully" means literally "fearful things;" suited to produce fear or reverence in our time the phrase [I am awesome]. The word rendered "wonderfully made" means properly to distinguish; to separate. [your works are wonderful] not much question here. [I know full well], in Hebrew, I am fully convinced of it. We can see clearly that the works of God are "wonderful," even if we can understand nothing else about them.
Psalms 139:15
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
[My frame was not hidden from you] The allusion here is to the bodily frame, considered as strong, or as that which has strength. Known by God, even in its inception, when most feeble.
[When I was made in secret] In the womb; or, hidden from the eye of man. .
[When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,]. When I was woven together. The Hebrew word-raaqam means to deck with color, and refers to the act of "weaving in" various colored threads
Fashioned in a place as dark, as obscure, and as much beyond the power of human observation as though it had been done low down beneath the ground where no eye of man can penetrate.
Psalms 139:16
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
[your eyes saw my unformed body] The "idea" in this expression clearly is, "Before I had shape or form you did see what I was to be." The single word in the original translated "un formed," is golem. It occurs only in this place, though the verb-gaalam-is found in 2 Kings 2:8, where it is used in reference to the mantle of Elijah: And Elijah took his mantle, and "wrapped it together, or he folded it. The noun, is applicable to anything folded up or undeveloped; and would very aptly refer to the fetus, where all the members of the body are as yet folded up, Before the embryo had any distinct form, it was known by God.
[All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be].
The Hebrew is, "all of them." This to me says it all!
Now No Back Talk
Rom 9:20-21
20 But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'" 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?
Rom 9:19-24
O man, on the contrary, who are you who answers back to God in this way? A real knowledge of the true God makes such an objection preposterous. Paul turns to an illustration. What is molded will not say to the molder, why have you made me in this fashion, will it? Or, the potter has the right over the clay, doesn't he, to make from the same lump one vessel for noble purposes and another for common usage? This illustration of the potter had been used very effectively by Jeremiah centuries before (Jer 18:4-6). Paul stresses the complete control of the potter over the clay in terms of that for which the vessel is to be used. The same material is used for both. But they are to be made for different functions, and so the potter gives each one a shape that accords with its intended function.

Lauren Russell is on a Mission
The Lyon Fine Jewelry Owner and out lesbian makes it her mission to help others.
Lauren Russell, the genius behind Lyon Fine Jewelry, where high fashion meets modern industrial designs, launched her collection and Equality Bracelets this past February. The four Equality Bracelets represent four cities that hold importance to the gay community: Stonewall, Castro, WeHo and Vere and a percentage of the profit is being donated to Friendfactor, an organization that rallies together straight allies to help fight for LGBT rights. Friendfactor isn't the only cause benefiting from Russell's compassion and advocacy; she also has bracelets supporting Rock the Vote, Adaptive Action Sports and Fight for Equality, organizations that help empower youth to vote, that enable people with permanent physical disabilities to participate in action sports and that promote marriage equality. You can find out what inspired Russell's collection and her involvement with Friendfactor in the April issue of Curve (on stands now).
What's the backstory behind the creation of Lyon Fine Jewelry?
It all started about a year ago. I started drawing my designs on the side. I was working for another jewelry company in New York. So I started drawing it and I had a production team here in LA that I was loosely communicating with, sending them my sketches. Then one thing lead to another and I started realizing that I actually do this pretty well. So I decided to really go forward and I started producing some pieces.
Is it crazy to think about how much you have accomplished in one year?
It is insane, yeah. It was literally a little over a year, last November, where I was sitting on the couch with my girlfriend and she was like, 'You should really do this.' I kind of needed her permission. I needed someone's permission to kind of jump and do it.
We can find your jewelry online and soon in Kiki de Montparnasse. Tell us more about Kiki de Montparnasse.
It's an amazing amazing Boutique. It's literally my favorite. They're on Melrose and they're also in New York City and they have one in Vegas I believe. If you haven't been, you've gotta go in there. It's a one of a kind store. They have lingerie, really high end and they have jewelry and they have amazing gold plated sex toys. It's just really fantastic. You just have to see it in person. They have art on the walls and books and stuff like that. I was excited to get in there. And actually there's a store opening in Beverly Hills called Mouche Gallery. They're taking my line as well. They have one boutique in Hawaii that does really well. They're going to bring me in and if it does well, I'm going to do a collaboration with them and put a little spin on my stuff for them. So I'll have my hands full [Laughs].
You've been making a point to support a lot of organizations through your business. Have you thought of organizations you'll want to give to in the future?
I want to do one for bullying. I'm thinking about something with that. I'm really really obsessed with animals. It would have to be something that — there's so many different animal organizations and different species that I care about, honestly. So that's going to be a hard decision to make. It might have to be 10 different ones for me.
How did Adaptive Action Sports inspire the Limitless bracelet?
I don't know if you read up on that cause, but it's pretty cool. That lady that started that organization, she lost both of her legs … And she's an amazing girl, beautiful and tall. And she decided to start this organization and basically teach these disabled people, these amazing extreme sports. People that really never thought they'd do much of anything anymore and are now water skiing, skiing and doing all of this crazy stuff, skate boarding. The idea is life is limitless and you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
What motivates you to support organizations through your bracelets?
I really wanted to get involved in a charitable way, bringing an aspect to my company that I think most people should do. Giving back and having the charity aspect is probably the most rewarding thing for me. And I'm going to keep going. I'm going to keep doing more bracelets. I'll make 100 different bracelets if I have to for all these different causes. Because I do believe in – I don't know, there are so many different things that I would love to give to. That's what we're here for, to give back. Honestly, it completes my day. If I send that check to make that donation, it's really the most rewarding feeling. It comes from this place that's not just about me and the business and money or anything like that. It never has been. It's more about making my passion come true and trying to bring it out into the world and help others with it. (lyonfinejewelry.com)

28 Days of Impact: The Story of Nilgun #vaximpact
February 6th, 2013
Vaccinations are something that we take completely for granted here in America. It always amuses me, as a Labor & Delivery nurse, that our patients can opt in or opt out of vaccinations for their newborns. It is something we take for granted but in other parts of the world, vaccinations means life or death. Millions of children's lives are put at risk every year because they lack access to life-saving vaccines. The people who are on the fields, risking their lives to improve the lives of these children are heroes. With every vaccination they administer, they are are giving that child a shot at a future, a shot @ life.
The story I am sharing with you today, isn't about overcoming tragedy or heartbreak, rather I hope that it will lift your spirits and make you cheer. Today I am so honored, as part of Shot@Life's 28 days of Impact, to share the story of Nilgun, an everyday hero who is helping to change the future of millions of children by ensuring access to these critical vaccines despite the many obstacles in her way. Nilgun Aydogon is a program officer with the GAVI Alliance, a public-private partnership focused on saving children's lives by increasing access to immunization in poor countries.
Immunization in remote areas like Myanmar and Ali Boke require lots of careful planning. When in Ali Boke, Nilgun and her team have to leave in the wee hours of the morning before the sun appears to avoid the extreme heat that plagues this region and reach the furthest most remote villages to administer as much of the vaccines they've received for the month. Because there is limited space, spotty unreliable electricity and no backup generators, vaccines are only available on the first day of every month, delivery day is known fondly to the villages as Vaccine Day. Even with the most careful of planning to vaccinate as many children on a trip, sadly unused vaccines go to waste. There is no way to ensure safe return due to the extreme heat they face daily. To administer vaccines on a regular basis in these towns is near impossible with heat that rises on averages to 40° C (104° F).
On one trip, Nilgun traveled in Myanmar for 4 days to administer vaccines. She is fortunate that the people of Myanmar welcome her and her team with open arms. The villages treat vaccination day like a festival even though many of the children do not have immunization cards and there is no place to dispose of used syringes. With her team, she entered places of worship like a Buddhist temple where they respectfully remove their shoes in order to administer the measles vaccine to children. Each family attending was issued an invitation card and a midwife would go out after to make sure all of the children received the immunization.
This is an excerpt from Nilgun's travel diary:
Day 3
Vaccines perish if exposed to Myanmar's baking heat, so I'm inspecting freezers storing vials at Pyinmana Hospital. Cold mist rises as Myint Han opens a lid to reveal boxes of measles vaccines ready for distribution, usually in a cold box on the back of a motorbike.
Everything conforms to best practice, but I'm concerned there is no emergency generator if one of Myanmar's frequent power outages strikes.
Limited storage means vaccines are only available on routine immunization days, usually in the first week of each month. This works well for campaigns that occur over a few days. But there are not enough vaccines stored in local hospitals to provide day-to-day routine services and run immunization clinics in remote villages.
This will be a problem when Myanmar introduces the sophisticated pentavalent vaccine later this year. There is also no means to take back vaccines that go unused; they risk perishing in the heat.
Every day there are people like Nilgun on the ground, doing their very best to give children a shot at life. Despite the work of people like Nilgun, one in five children still lack access to life-saving immunizations, putting them at risk for preventable diseases and death. Vaccines are still one of the most cost-effective ways to save the lives of children in developing countries. The impact of immunization is powerful. With continued prioritization within the U.S. government, through USAID, the CDC, and our United Nations partners, we can make sure all children in developing countries receive the life-saving vaccines they so desperately need.
You may ask, what can I do right now, right here? You can use your voice and ask Congress to make Global Vaccination a Priority by filling out this form. You may remember back in August, I asked you to comment to save a life. That was just the beginning — a catalyst. We're so close to eradicating life threatening diseases like Polio. I am asking you to fill out this simple form and share. Make your voice count and help people like Nilgun to continue their life changing work.
The impact of vaccines on the lives of children around the world is incredible. Now, you can help sustain the impact by sending an email to your member of congress. Welcome your members to the 113th Congress and ask them to make sure that global health and vaccines are a priority in the new Congress. Take action and make an impact!
This story comes from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and is part of Shot@Life's '28 Days of Impact' Campaign. A follow up to Blogust to raise awareness for global vaccines and the work being done by Shot@Life and their partners to help give children around the world a shot at a healthy life. Each day in February, you can read another impactful story on global childhood vaccines. Tomorrow, don't miss Liz Gumbinner of Mom 101's post! Go to www.shotatlife.org/impact to learn more.

There is usually a wind coming directly at you at the range so you are shooting into the wind. Can this head wind be lifting my bullets at the last couple hundred yards of the range?

La Vanguàrdia d'avui publica aquest parell d'articles amb la inequívoca intenció no d'informar-nos de l'existència d'un nou treball sobre el suposat escalfament de l'Antàrtida sinó de fer-nos empassar que es tracta de l'última paraula sobre el tema i que, a partir d'ara, ja no hi ha discussió que valgui. El destacat ho deixa clar: "Los científicos cierran el debate sobre el supuesto enfriamiento de la Antártida". I el titular de l'"analista" encara és més contundent: "La última verdad del clima". Sentències que, com poden comprovar, no poden ser més anticientífiques.
És per això que m'he posat en contacte amb el professor Antón Uriarte, geògraf i especialista en paleoclimatologia, per saber-ne la seva opinió. I m'ha adreçat a la pàgina del comité de medi ambient del senat dels Estats Units, on hi ha una extensa referència a l'article de Nature. No cal dir que dónen molt poca credibilitat a l'estudi.
Washington, DC: A new study on Antarctic temperatures – which is contrary to the findings of multiple previous studies - claims "that since 1957, the annual temperature for the entire continent of Antarctica has warmed by about 1 degree Fahrenheit, but still is 50 degrees below zero."
Despite the fact that the study was immediately viewed with major skepticism by scientists who are not skeptical of anthropogenic global warming claims, many in the media pounced on the study as a chance to attack those skeptical of man-made climate doom. According to the release of the study, "The researchers devised a statistical technique that uses data from satellites and from Antarctic weather stations to make a new estimate of temperature trends. […] The scientists found temperature measurements from weather stations corresponded closely with satellite data for overlapping time periods. That allowed them to use the satellite data as a guide to deduce temperatures in areas of the continent without weather stations." (emphasis added) Few media outlets noted that in 2007 Antarctic "sea ice coverage has grown to record levels since satellite monitoring began in the 1979, according to peer-reviewed studies and scientists who study the area." [See also other factors impacting Antarctica: "Volcano, Not Global Warming Effects, May be Melting an Antarctic Glacier & The Antarctic deep sea gets COLDER – April 21, 2008 & A January 12, 2008, peer-reviewed paper in AGU (American Geophysical Union) found "A doubling in snow accumulation in the western Antarctic Peninsula since 1850." Map of Volcanoes - See comprehensive data round up below]
The new Antarctic study was published in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature and the lead author of the study was Eric Steig, a University of Washington professor of Earth and Space Sciences. Other co-authors include: David Schneider of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, a former student of Steig's; Scott Rutherford of Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI; and Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University.
UN IPCC lead author, Dr. Kevin Trenberth, who is not in any way a climate change skeptic, said of the study, "I remain somewhat skeptical… It is hard to make data where none exist." Echoing Trenberth's analysis were several other scientists.
Climatologist Dr. John Christy of the University of Alabama in Huntsville questioned the study. "One must be very cautious with such results because they have no real way to be validated," Christy told the AP. "In other words, we will never know what the temperature was over the very large missing areas that this technique attempts to fill in so that it can be tested back through time," Christy added.
Former Colorado State Climatologist Dr. Roger Pielke, Sr., senior scientist at the University of Colorado in Boulder said the authors of the Antarctic study "overstated" their results. "In terms of the significance of their paper, it overstates what they have obtained from their analysis," Pielke told the AP. "In the abstract they write, for example, 'West Antarctic warming exceeds 0.1C per decade over the past 50 years.' However, even a cursory view of Figure 2 shows that since the late 1990s, the region has been cooling in their analysis in this region. The paper would be more balanced if they presented this result, even if they cannot explain why," Pielke wrote. Pielke also questioned how the authors "reconcile the conclusions in their paper with the cooler than average long term sea surface temperature anomalies off of the coast of Antarctica." Pielke added, "These cool anomalies have been there for at least several years. This cool region is also undoubtedly related to the above average Antarctic sea ice areal coverage that has been monitored over recent years."
A critical analysis of the paper from December 21, 2008, accused the authors of the Antarctic study of making questionable data "adjustments." (See: Scientist adjusts data -- presto, Antarctic cooling disappears - December 21, 2008) The analysis concluded, "Looks like [study author] Steig 'got rid of' Antarctic cooling the same way [Michael] Mann got rid of medieval warming. Why not just look at the station data instead of 'adjusting' it (graph above)? It shows a 50-year cooling trend," the analysis concluded.

Ed's Blog: http://www.edunderwood.com/
Daily devotionals and thoughts from Ed about what happens when everyday people decide to look at their life in a way that will make their life count forever–and in the process, become the man or woman God meant them to be.
Here's an example of Ed's writing:
The Middle Seat
I couldn't believe I was really boarding a plane headed for Vero Beach, Florida. All my life I had been talking about meeting a lifelong friend to see our beloved Dodgers in their spring training home-Dodgertown!
I was telling the Lord how thankful I was to be finding my seat on the overcrowded plane when I saw a man sitting in my window seat.
"Sir, I'm in 27A."
"I know, would you mind switching seats with me. My son and I are headed to spring training and he's afraid to sit alone."
"No problem," I assured him. And I really meant, "No problem"-that is until he told me that his assigned seat was a middle seat.
I argued with the Lord about what to do. I knew it was the right thing to do and I even wanted to. But a middle seat?
"You enjoy the ride with your son. I'll take the middle seat."
As I fought back up the aisle for my miserable middle seat I couldn't help thinking about the fact that the man and his son were Red Sox fans. I hate the Red Sox!
When two beefy guys piled in on both sides and I felt like I couldn't breathe, the Lord brought Esther's story to mind.
When Mordecai challenged Esther to risk her life by going before the King of Persia to expose Haman's evil plot to kill all the Jews, he put her rise to queen in perspective: "Who can say but that God has brought you into the palace for just such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14)
We should always be looking for the spiritual and eternal reason God has ordered our lives in the way He has. He is never surprised, never overwhelmed, never without purpose. His hand is the one that moves historic world events and the "smaller" events and circumstances of our lives-like sitting in a middle seat.
All of the noble and eternal reasons God wanted me to sit in the middle seat ran through my mind. Maybe I would have an opportunity to lead one of my portly row-mates to Christ. Maybe I would see this man and his son at the Dodgers-Red Sox game tomorrow and they would ask me why I was so nice. I'd then have an opportunity to tell them that I'm a Christian and causing them to think about the kindness of God's people.
For almost three hours the guys on both sides fell asleep and leaned their massive body weights in on me so that I could barely move. One of them snored loudly in a way that made me happy that they don't serve meals on planes any more.
When we walked off the plane in West Palm Beach, the father never even said, thanks.
My point? Most of the time we will never connect the dots of the difficult assignments the Lord asks us to take in His name to His eternal purposes.
If we're telling Jesus that we'll do the hard things only when He makes it clear why we should, He'll just start handing out the really significant assignments to His more willing and trusting followers.
So, what is your middle seat? What are you telling God you won't do unless He guarantees that it all makes sense?
Only those willing to sit in the middle seat when they don't know why will discover the joy of His intimate guidance.

Week 6
Okay now it is reading week and i have just emailed Eduardo about me just recieving an email from Jeanette saying who my client was, i find out my client is Zarina's Biscuits, i find this at first funny but after reading the scenerio provided in pdf file i realise this person is making some serious money and his a successfull company in its speciality market.
I am told by Eduardo that i will have to do my presentation the week after Reading Week and i find that first no problem but after a while i realise more problems arise that seriously hamper my studying as a whole not just Multimedia II module. Firstly though i do create my 3 designs on Powerpoint and am ready for my presentation.
Download zarinas_biscuits.ppt
What i think of these designs is:-
Design 1 and 2: I created these using dreamweaver thinking that it would be not only easier but quicker to use that tool only to realise we are creating a fully Flash functional site not using other software. So those quickly become a waste of time.
Design 3: The only one i do create in Flash and will eventually be the one i choose to make in the end albeit a minor few changes needed here and there.
Week 7 & 8
Shock and horror! This week after reading week i recieve a letter through the post from the university saying that if i dont pay my fees in 10-12 days i will be excluded, not only do recieve this bad news i am now offically blocked from accessing webCT and logging on to any university PC at all, this really pisses me off but thinking about it i have unable to log in AT ALL in Mulitmedia II labs and have absolutely no lab work to show and produce for my final week in the CD-ROM when needed to. I feel this has pretty much made me fail this and other modules and have become really disheartened by this, i now have an enormous pressure on me to get this work done but without any lad work, contact with my client and time i feel my days are numbered.
This week is when i was meant to show my designs as stated i cannot log in and my Flash-Drive/MP3 player is corrupted at the wrong time.
Due to me not being able to get any work done in this module i decide to go to my other lessons which clash with this module, I have 225cs lab at 12pm-1pm, 268 lec and lab from 1pm-3pm, this means that i can only ever be avaiable for one hour in the end of the day for Multimedia II, i realise i am probably the only one who has this many clashes on a friday, bad news numbero infinity!
Week 9 & 10
Week 9 has no lesson, not that i would have turned up anyway, and i try my best to get started on this Flash work, but i soon realise i have 4 pieces of assignment that needs handing in prior to this and do not touch it at all, i had no choice really. But i do research some sites and find some excellent Flash tutorial sites that show how to do some very nice animaiton which i think i might actually use, i check out the usual biscuit websites Mcvities has no flash on their site, they o consider the biggest biscuit company around but i also find that Cadbury's Fingers has its own site which does indeed have Flash. http://www.cadburyfingers.com/default2.asp
As much as i want to copy and use their site as a big inspiration i know as a fact i wont even be able to get even a 10% copy of its site with the time i have but nonetheless i am glad i have made some research at last and finally it hits me like a ton f bricks how tough this work will be at the same time how much i really hate the university for causing me so many problems which i dont deserve at all. AAARRGGHH!!
In week 10, i have 4 pieces of work due in all week and have now managed to average only 4 hours a sleep a night for the pst few days trying to get this done, i also finally recieve a letter from the Student Loans Company showing the proof that all fees have been paid for, i rush to uni sort this out and am now finally relieved to have access to the computers and WebCT. I managed to complete my Flash work but i think it is looking very amatuerish comparing it to fellow students but i know that their is nothing i could have done to make it any better and am content with what i have made although i know for a fact plenty of improvements need to be done if i were to get a decent mark on this module, i prepare myself for failure.
I also send this off to Jeanette knowing that i wont get a feedback until very late again.

Selling with outlook that the blue line will hold price below. Break above & close above 1.2940 will invalidate the setup & we should take loss. Targets are mapped according to symmetrical movement.
looks precise, hopefully it lands around those lines, I'm counting on it to drop significantly soon..
Thank you for this idea. One thing i'm curious about, if you have the time:
What would have to happen for you to decide not to go all the way through to T2 and take profits early? When I see the price bend upward, sweat and nerves can break my confidence. Best regards,
What would have to happen for you to decide not to go all the way through to T2 and take profits early? When I see the price bend upward, sweat and nerves can break my confidence. Best regards,
FxSaint Steven_Maas
I flip couple of time frames to see if whether there can be some resistance established (since its a short position) then I watch price whether price has momentum to break that resistance. If it break the resistances with momentum filled candle then I encash most of my position leaving only tiny lot just incase if it drops again. This tiny piece I never close manually, instead I let it get stopped out to breakeven. Example
FxSaint FxSaint
Also sometimes its about target in itself, there are some structures which will attract price towards them, in those case till price reach those structural point, I dont close trades, no matter what. This is not those kind of trade, its not about target in this trade. But there are some trades of mine which I aim very very big moves since I know price will be pulled towards those structure.... I m attaching couple of pattern & charts where I aimed at targets.
Steven_Maas FxSaint
Wow. That first screenshot is actually a trade that I wouldn't even think about considering it's a move that can take about a month or more to complete. I'll happily follow your ideas and keep a close eye on your updates. Thank you very much FxSaint for the details!
Steven_Maas FxSaint
Hi @FxSaint, thanks for the reply. I actually get it. So that tiny lot is there to just see it through as a test of sorts and if price then reverses in your favor again, you're still able to add to the short?
FxSaint Steven_Maas
Yes, but if it fails to break resistance with momentum & with some price pattern, then I will have like half of my lot running for target 2.
Great one FxSaint.I also had similar idea

Good one Roncriss

Put the flour on a flat surface and shape it into a mound. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, salt, olive oil, 2 Tbs. water, and the ground pepper. (Be sure when you grind the pepper that it isn't too large or it will tear the pasta.) Mix with a wooden spoon by combining the eggs and the flour with a circular motion, taking some flour from the inside of the well.
Add the remaining water and mix until it comes together. Transfer the dough onto a floured board and knead it for 10 minutes. Work the dough into a ball, cover it with a bowl, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Roll the dough (using more flour, if needed) into a cylinder about 6 inches long and slice into 1-inch pieces. Flatten each piece of dough with a rolling pin or the palm of your hand. Roll dough out on a pasta machine.

THE BOOK OF J. By Harold Bloom. Grove Weidenfeld. 340 pages. $21.95. I CANNOT prove anything about J," writes Harold Bloom, "not even that she existed, or whether she was a woman, or when she lived, or what was her rank or class, or whether her home was Jerusalem."
This doesn't stop Bloom, a leading American literary critic, from concocting a batch of new theories about the authorship of the Old Testament's first three books. His theories are presented, along with poet David Rosenberg's fresh translation of those ancient works, in a work that has sneaked on, then off, then back on the New York Times best-sellers list in recent months.
In the commentaries that make up some two-thirds of the book, Bloom contends that the author of Genesis, Exodus and Numbers was not Moses, as conservative religious tradition holds, or a group of different scribes, as academic tradition believes. Rather, the writer was a sophisticated woman of privilege, "J," who lived around 900 B.C. at King Solomon's Court Jerusalem.

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
By Jamie Ford
Published: January 2009
Published By: Random House Inc.
Format Read: Kobo, eBook, Paperback
Genre: Historical Fiction
Rating: 4/5
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is a dual time period novel that following Chinese-American Henry Lee as he recalls his experiences during the war years growing up in Seattle. In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbour and the war raging between Japan and China, Henry's father is more patriotic than ever. And although Henry was born in the USA, his Asian features makes him a target, especially in the all-white school his father insists he attends.
At 12 years old, life is very lonely for Henry until a new student by the name of Keiko Okabe comes to his school on scholarship. A beautiful friendship blossoms, however the Japanese (even the Japanese American's) are seen as the enemy and his father greatly disapproves. Can the bond that Henry and Keiko made survive their separation as she and her family are forced off to an internment camp for the duration of the war?
Jamie Ford has written a beautiful tale of friendship and love. The bond that Henry and Keiko form felt so pure and genuine. It wasn't a frivolous pre-teen crush, but something far more meaningful and strong.
The treatment of American citizens of Japanese ancestry after the attacks on Pearl Harbour was terrible. It amazed me how they persevered and fought to prove their pride and allegiance to their country.
Despite the sad subject manner, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet was a quick and easy read. I enjoyed Ford's writing style and the way he tied in the two time periods: the early 1940's and the mid 1980's. I also learned a lot about the differences in the traditional Chinese and Japanese cultures, which was quite interesting.
I would recommend Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet to historical fiction lovers, especially those with an interest in life on the home front and the plight of the Japanese-American's during World War II. Although it is technically adult fiction, I think that the subject manner would make for a great learning experience for younger readers as well.

Free Study Guide for Life of Pi by Yann Martel Book Summary
Previous Page | Table of Contents | Next Page
Downloadable / Printable Version
On the surface, it would appear that the antagonists here are Richard
Parker and Nature. Pis hardships at sea begin with the threat presented
by the tiger, and progress to surviving starvation and the elements. However,
the real conflict is an internal struggle. Pi must maintain his faith
in order to survive, but he must compromise his beliefs in order to live.
For example, he includes prayer in his daily routine at sea, but he must
kill and forego vegetarianism to stay alive. Pi Patel is a seeker of knowledge
and a seeker of God. He is striving to choose the better story for his
The climax of a plot is the major turning point that allows the protagonist
to resolve the conflict. The climax in this story comes in Part Three
of the book. The reader has known all along that Pi survived his ordeal
because it is he who is narrating the story. So none of the drama at sea
is truly climactic. The twist at the end, when Pi reluctantly offers a
second story devoid of animals and devoid of faith, brings the climax.
Pi allows Mr. Okamoto and Mr. Chiba to believe the second story if they
choose, but presses them to confess which story they think is better.
The outcome, resolution, or denouement of this is that both men admit
the first story is better. This reaffirms Pis own beliefs (even though
the men may or may not really believe the story). Mr. Okamoto chooses
to include the first story in his official report. However, the ultimate
outcome is left to the reader because which story is actually true is
never firmly established.

Gingerbread is a popular Christmas flavor, and it's likely your local coffee shop has at least some form of gingerbread or gingerbread mocha latte.
These beautiful, delicious cupcakes are essentially a happy medium between grabbing a gingerbread latte (filled with chocolate sauce) and opting for that tiramisu next time the dessert tray comes around.
