Hi everyone,
My name is Ema I applied for 4 programs at Malmö University, unfortunately I haven't been admitted and they placed me on the waiting list... I'm number 14 for Human rights, 16 for International relations and 19 for Interactive design. I'll know on the 2th of August if I'm admitted or not which is late since I have to look for a room, so I would like to know if I have a chance or not? Or if someone has been in the same situation. I looked at the statistics of the previous years but it's not really clear...Hopefully can you guys help me!

The Yakult Swallows took Logan Ondrusek off the active roster today because an outburst he had after his outing against the Chunichi Dragons at Jingu Stadium on June 26. He was also suspended indefinitely.
Mitsuru Manaka spoke to reporters today and said that this was not an isolated case and that they are internally discussing what to do next.
What happened during Ondrusek's outing: with the bases loaded and one out, Wataru Hiyane misplayed a hit to left that allowed the Dragons to score three runs and tie the game at four.

I have always been self-conscious and have had low self-esteem, but until recently, I didn't do anything to change that. The only time that I could easily start up a conversation with a man was when I was drinking. The constant search for feminine clothes that were comfortable, and affordable was a fail. So, I hid myself in baggy, over-sized men's clothing. I've always tried to hide myself.
Like any other female, I am my own worst critic. I've probably spent just as much time avoiding looking at myself in the mirror as I've spent scrutinizing myself! Naked, I'd stand there, almost in tears, thinking about how disgusting I looked. "My legs are too short and too fat! I don't have a nice, round butt! My stomach is grotesque. My boobs are too small! Geez! Look at that double chin," I'd always manage to say to myself. As you could imagine my low self-esteem affected my sex life.
"Turn out the lights," I would yell, every time the clothes would start flying off. During sex, I liked staying under the covers, out of the light, and out of sight. I liked being hid from possible rejection. Men want confidence and sexiness, of which I never had. So, I hid from myself, men, and sex.
Sex is so difficult for a self-conscious person, no matter the size, shape, or position that you put her in! I was always afraid to try new things in bed. I was afraid I would look stupid, or for some reason, because of my size, would not be able to perform as well as a smaller girl. I always hated the term "big girl," and I just wanted to feel comfortable and accepted, not as a "big girl", but as me!
One of my cousins tried hooking me up with a friend of hers and she asked him, "Do you like big girls?" He shook his head no and that was a big knock for me. The last straw came when I found this amazing, gorgeous, sweet guy that was okay with the fact that I was a "big girl", but he decided not to continue the relationship, because I was too shy. What he didn't know was that I was shy, simply because I felt like I had never been accepted as just me! That was it! Something had to change!
I soon began a long and challenging journey to weight-loss! I began exercising and I boosted my workout a little more everyday. I began eating healthier and feeling better! I gained more energy and was, once again, in the mood! I climbed back in the saddle and tried my new energy out on my partner. I pushed him down, climbed on top, straddled him, grabbed his crotch and said, "How does this feel?" I realized more than just my confidence had peaked.
I also realized it wasn't my weight-loss that had made a difference. After all, I hadn't lost but a few pounds. He didn't know too much about my diet and exercise regiment. What made a difference what the fact that I felt good about me!
Now, I love who I am. I am my own woman. I am short, fat, and have little boobs. That's okay though, because not every woman is perfect, either. A lot of women get shy and nervous around guys that they want to jump on! That makes you who you are! But, now I take life by the horns(or sometimes the man by his horn) and I go with it! I am large, but I am also in charge of my own life and I am not going to let my self-esteem tell me otherwise!

|Almond Butter and Jelly Cheesecake Bars
Recipe: Makes 16 bars
For the crust:
- 9 ounces of graham crackers (approximately 11-14 crackers) Note: The Kinnikinnick Foods brand is gluten, soy and dairy free.
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
For the cheesecake batter:
- 16 ounces (2 tubs) of Daiya plain cream cheese alternative
- 1 cup almond butter
- 4 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup jelly Note: I used strawberry jelly but feel few to try other jellies you might have on hand
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a piece of parchment paper that hangs an inch or two over the sides.
- Place the graham crackers in a food processor and process until they are crumbs. Add the brown sugar and pulse a few more times to incorporate. Then, while the processor is turned on, drizzle the melted coconut oil into the processor through the feed tube. Process until the crumbs begin to clump.
- Pour the crumbs into the baking pan and press them out with your hands until you have an even flat layer on the bottom of the pan. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, but maintain the heat on the oven. Let the crust cool on a wire rack while you make the filling.
- Place cream cheese alternative, the almond butter and almond flour in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Cream together on medium speed until fluffy. Add the honey and beat until incorporated. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating and pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl between additions. Add the vanilla extract and beat to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into the cooled crust carefully as not to disturb the crust. Smooth the top of the batter out evenly. In a glass measuring cup with a spout, mix the jelly with the tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch if you prefer) until it is incorporated and the jelly thins out and is pourable. Pour the jelly in a zigzag pattern on top of the cream cheese batter. Using a flat butter knife, draw a line back and forth over the jelly, creating a fancy pant pattern. Try not to dig the knife too deep into the cream cheese batter.
- Bake the bars in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the cheesecake batter wiggles just a tiny bit in the middle of the pan. Let it cool completely in the pan to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight. To cut and serve, grab the parchment paper by its sides and lift the entire cheesecake out of the pan and move it directly to a cutting board to cut. Cut and enjoy!

Hello to all my crazy fans…just kidding. I can count on one hand the people who read my blog. I have decided to switch blogging software. I have seen so many other blogs using wordpress and I wanted a chance to try it out myself. It offers a ton more features than blogger so we'll see.
I'm not closing my daisyeyes blog just yet. But check back here for new posts often and I'll let you know when the daisyeyes.blogspot is shutting down.

When was the last time that you really looked at the things that were waiting for you in regards to all that you may be trying to get done? As you start to learn about all of the ways that you may want to go about staying ahead of the game, you are going to notice that there are a lot of ways that you can get what you need. How is a family law attorney kingston pa going to be able to help you to get whatever you need to feel confident in the situation?
It can be hard to figure out just what you are going to need to do to work out details and move forward in your case. First, you are going to start to make sense of everything related to what it is that you want to do, but then, you need a lawyer to be able to help you look at the details and see what is going to make the most sense in relation to all that you may be trying to work toward in the meantime. Taking that time to talk to a lawyer can really be helpful as you work things out and see what is going to make sense there, as well.
Take a look around and learn about the bigger situation that you may be trying to sort out. As you work out the details and know what it is that you want to accomplish, you will also find that you feel a lot more confident in just how you may want to go about the whole thing. That, above everything else, is going to help you to stay ahead of whatever may be coming along or how your future is going to look.

Today's post is about People's Avenue. I teamed up with this brand from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to show you how I would combine clothes from People's Avenue in a fashion outfit. Take a look and don't forget to let me know what you think! Of course, I'll tell you a bit more about this brand!
People's Avenue
The first time I heard about People's Avenue was through a friend of mine that worked in the store in Utrecht. I had to check the place out and I loved the style, materials and colors they use. The brand has items for men and women. The cotton on the items I received were very soft and lovely to wear. So comfortable, but at the same time stylish. I decided to choose a blouse in blue and a jumper in grey. This is the new collection of People's Avenue, which you can find here on their website.
I also received a comfy grey pants, that I will show you soon on my instagram! The perfect pants to wear on a comfy Sunday, for example with a long blouse on top. Keep an eye on my instagram.
Fashion industry
This brand is not just another brand. People's avenue actually cares about the fashion industry. I quote:
"A lifetime friendship was created with the owners of the factory in South India. Together we set forth our new standards and made the production process a lot friendlier, for our environment and our employees. This is where People's Avenue originates and with that a new look on fashion." – People's Avenue
I think this is so good! They have a mission while creating fashion. Have you ever seen a documentary about the fashion industry and people that work there? People's Avenue pays fair wages and let the workers work in a safe environment. I had to share this with you. This is not just a brand trying to make money using cheap labour no matter what. So this is something I like to be an ambassador for. Besides that, the quality of the clothes is extremely good.
They have stores in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Haarlem at the moment. Of course you can order your clothes online in their webshop too. There are some retail shops in Zwolle and Gran Canaria too! They send your order in Europe within 4 days, but they deliver outside Europe too.
I'm so curious if you ever heard of People's Avenue?! What do you think of their concept?
Blouse + Jumper – People's Avenue
Jeans – H&M
Sneakers – Nike
Bomber – Ivy Revel
Shopper – Ted Baker
Watch – Michael Kors
What do you think of my hair by the way? It's much shorter!

Inner Sailor Guardians is a group of the Sailor Guardians of the Inner Solar System.
- Sailor Mercury
- Sailor Mars
- Sailor Jupiter
- Sailor Venus (Leader)
During the age of the Silver Millennium, the Inner Sailor Guardians were the Guardians of Princess Serenity. They were also the princesses of their respective planets, but lived on the Moon at times. When Queen Metalia and the Dark Kingdom invaded the Moon Kingdom, the four were killed while trying to protect their princess. After Queen Serenity sealed away Metalia, she used the power of the Silver Crystal to send the Inner Sailor Guardians, Princess Serenity, and Prince Endymion to the future to be reborn on Earth to live happy lives.
In 20th Century Tokyo (21st Century in the Sailor Moon Crystal), the Inner Sailor Guardians were reborn as normal human girls. However, when the threat of the Dark Kingdom arose, they were forced to awaken their powers. Princess Serenity's reincarnation, Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) discovered the reincarnations of her four Guardians, who would soon become her dearest friends: Ami Mizuno (Sailor Mercury), Rei Hino (Sailor Mars), Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter), and Minako Aino (Sailor Venus).
In the manga and Sailor Moon Crystal, Sailor Venus was the leader of the Inner Sailor Guardians and would impersonate her princess (since she resembled her the most), Serenity/Sailor Moon to keep her from harm.
In the time of Crystal Tokyo, when Usagi becomes Neo-Queen Serenity, the Inner Senshi still act as her guardians and live in the Crystal Palace with her and the rest of the royal family.
When there isn't a threat going on, the Inner Sailor Guardians are more connected to their human lives; dreaming about their futures (despite already knowing them), and being regular teenage girls. However, when they're needed as Sailor Guardians they are ready to protect their world and their princess from harm.
- Minako was the first of Inner Sailor Guardians to be awakened, as Sailor V instead of her true form as Sailor Venus. Though after she defeats the Dark Agency, she becomes Venus and starts her quest to find her comrades.

The Food and Drug Administration is in the process of reclassifying "pre-amendment class III devices," including automated external defibrillators (AEDs). This proposed increase in regulations will have significant public health consequences, due to reduced access to early defibrillation for the nation's victims of sudden cardiac arrest. If regulatory hurdles increase, access to lifesaving treatment with AEDs will decrease. Following is our letter to the FDA.
We urge you to express your concerns to the FDA as soon as possible, before a determination is made. Sign this petition. Or use the sample letter below.
More coverage: Journal of Emergency Medical Services
A Letter from the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation to the Food and Drug Administration:
Dear Sirs:
The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation is a national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is "to raise awareness and support programs that give 'ordinary people' the power to save a life."
We are writing to express our concern that the Food and Drug Administration is considering reclassification of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) as Class III Devices requiring pre-market approval. We believe that increased regulation of the user-friendly lifesaving devices—proven irrefutably safe and effective by decades of research—would demonstrate a lack of understanding about the life-threatening condition of sudden cardiac arrest and would have a profoundly harmful effect on unsuspecting victims, greatly reducing their chances of survival.
As you are certainly aware, sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the U.S., affecting more than 1,000 people each day (382,800 people annually) and on average, only eight percent of victims survive. [1] Survival rates increase slightly when victims receive bystander CPR, however, survival rates increase dramatically to 38 percent when victims receive both CPR and treatment with AEDs by bystanders. If all SCA victims had timely access to treatment with AEDs and the average survival rate increased to 38 percent, more than 100,000 additional lives could be saved each year. [2]
We believe the FDA would be prudent to reconsider the proposed increase in regulations, and instead focus on ensuring that AEDs are widely deployed and the public is informed about the importance of using the lifesaving devices—without hesitation—in cases of sudden unexpected cardiac death. We urge the FDA to redirect its energy and resources to help raise awareness about the need for immediate bystander intervention with AEDs.
Our Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survivor Network is a testament to the fact that a quick combination of CPR and defibrillation is nothing less than the key to survival. Earlier this fall, we co-hosted a gathering of survivors from around the U.S., who would be quick to point out they owe their lives to the timely use of AEDs.
Perhaps our national spokesperson, TV news anchor and sudden cardiac arrest survivor, Susan Koeppen, 39, says it best: "If it were not for the bystanders who rushed to help me, I would not be here today. I can't stress enough the importance of learning CPR and how to use an AED."
Robust AED safety and performance standards already exist that capture more than 20 years of hard-won clinical, regulatory, and industry experience.
We urge the FDA to consider alternative pathways that ensure the safety and effectiveness of AEDs, and at the same time support efforts to drive widespread access to early defibrillation.
It has taken decades to get this far. We cannot afford to decrease the odds that victims in need will have timely access to definitive care.

Food and Drug Administration Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305) Docket Number: FDA 2009-M-0101 Fishers Lane, Room 1061 Rockville, MD 20852
Fax: 301-827-6870
To U.S. Food & Drug Administration:
Early defibrillation is the definitive treatment for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which claims more than 300,000 lives in the United States per year. Widespread distribution of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) is overwhelmingly advocated by the medical community and legislators as a strategy for achieving early defibrillation. Even with the growing availability of AEDs in the US and highly successful early defibrillation programs throughout the country, the current national SCA survival rate is less than 8%, largely because without AEDs early defibrillation doesn't happen in time. In order to improve the national survival rate and help restore more lives, we must continue to drive widespread access to AEDs.
It is my understanding that the FDA is considering classifying AEDs as class III, requiring pre-market approval (PMA). I am writing to express my concern that this increased regulation of AEDs will limit innovation and public access to these devices, both highly negative results. Over several decades, hundreds of peer-reviewed studies have already demonstrated that AEDs are safe and effective and that early defibrillation saves lives. There is no guarantee, and little likelihood that requiring AEDs to go through the PMA process will lead to an increase in AED safety and effectiveness. To the contrary, these additional regulations will likely stifle innovation and new, improved technology will be delayed, or may not even be pursued in the US due to regulatory costs and time-to-market considerations under the PMA process.
Furthermore, AEDs will become more expensive to purchase and maintain as a direct result of expenses associated with increased regulatory requirements. Communities, public entities such as schools and police forces, companies, including small businesses, and non-profit organizations, are among the primary groups that provide the funds to purchase and maintain public access AEDs for which there is no insurance reimbursement. Moreover, to the extent individuals can now afford to have AEDs in their homes, this additional source of AED availability will surely diminish or disappear altogether. As prices rise, fewer AEDs will be purchased and deployed which limits public access AED availability when they are critically needed to help save lives. Without public access AEDs the average time to defibrillation will likely increase, which then could decrease survival in the US associated with SCA.
Robust AED safety and performance standards already exist that capture over 20 years of hard-won clinical, regulatory, and industry experience. These AED-specific standards are the foundation for securing consistent performance as they drive implementation of best practices across the industry. Perhaps focusing on broader support and continuous improvement of these standards would help achieve even improved product performance, while maximizing access to life-saving AEDs.
I urge the FDA to consider alternative pathways that ensure the safety and effectiveness of AEDs, but at the same time continue to support efforts to drive widespread access to early defibrillation. For the hundreds of thousands of Americans who unexpectedly suffer an SCA each year, we cannot afford to further decrease the odds that an AED will be available when needed to help restore their lives.

Famed social media consultant Gary Vaynerchuk likes to say, "Marketers ruin everything." What he means by this is that by the time marketers learn how to exploit something, the rest of us have moved on to another platform. It's a continual game of cat and mouse.
Think back to email newsletters. We used to love receiving them. We would read every word. Nowadays, we unsubscribe without thinking twice if we feel just the slightest bit spammed. How dare you send me two emails in a week!
Marketers did this. We ruined email. We made it less personal. We made it automated. We transformed it from a communications tool to a sales tool. Sorry about that.
Social media is following the same path. It was never intended to be a sales tool first and foremost.
Facebook wasn't built with business pages in mind. It was built for people, like you and I, to connect with our friends and family. Pages however, are a great way for brands to get their messages out there, nestled between the posts in our news feed from Aunt Sally and Joey from college.
Brands began to abuse this opportunity, spamming us in much the same way they have with email marketing. Facebook's reaction to this was EdgeRank, the algorithm that determines what shows up in our personal news feeds, based on our interests and interactions.
Now, brands are paying a strong price for access to our news feeds. They either need to produce killer content, or they need to pay the piper. Either way, this requires an investment of time or money (or both).
It's not so easy being a brand on Facebook anymore.
But don't despair. This isn't the end of the road. No, this is just the beginning. Brands have had it too easy for far too long. It was too easy to gain access to a wide audience. It never should have been that easy in the first place.
EdgeRank should have been acting as a gatekeeper since day one. There have to be safeguards in place to ensure only the highest quality content gets through to us. If not, we'd be sick and tired of Facebook by tomorrow, because we'd see so much irrelevant junk in our feeds.
So, what does all of this mean for you and your brand? It means you need to put in the effort to make your content really shine. You see, ever since EdgeRank popped up, content really is king on Facebook.
Now, let me drop the main point of this entire article, summed up nicely in one short sentence:
The quality of your content is even more important than your advertising budget, because without quality content, you can burn through your entire ad budget and still get nowhere.
Think about it for a second. Even if you pay Facebook to advertise on their platform, you're only paying for access. You're making a wager that Facebook users will notice your page and decide to give it a "like" or engage with a particular post.
What this means is that if you're paying to advertise, yet your content isn't up to par, people won't take action. Thus, your investment will be wasted.
This is why it all comes down to having the best content out there. It's a must. There's no way around it.
We didn't make these rules, but we're certainly going to be playing along with them. What about you?

We may earn commission from companies mentioned on this blog, however our praise cannot be bought!
It's now around six years since my wife and I started thinking about moving abroad, and over three years since we touched down in Portugal on a one-way ticket.
I frequently say it's the best thing we ever did. But, like so many things in life, not everything has turned out exactly how we thought it would.
I remember the way we used to imagine it, when we were stuck in the UK daydreaming about our future life in the sun whilst stuck on slow, packed underground trains. If you're contemplating a move of your own, this post may seem as if I'm trying to dissuade you from moving abroad. That's not my intention at all – but I am going to try to inject your dreams with a healthy dose of realism.
Here are five important lessons I've learned since I arrived in Portugal:
1. Research is everything – and nothing
A short while ago, I was on one of the popular expat forums, and a discussion about tax laws in Portugal became slightly heated. An individual had clearly spent plenty of time researching a particular tax incentive, but made the mistake of assuming that qualification for it was certain if certain boxes were ticked.
As a couple of us tried to explain, that's simply not how Portugal works. I know that now, but I could see in the individual exactly the kind of naïve confidence that I myself had on the day I arrived in the Algarve.
The person in question said something along the lines of "it's the law – they cannot refuse." This made me giggle. Having spent many hours in official Portuguese government buildings, often walking out deflated and near to tears, I would dearly love to hear someone try to tell a Portuguese official that they "cannot refuse" something. And this, of course, is assuming that they speak the fluent Portuguese that will be insisted on by the officials; whether or not they can actually speak English themselves.
I thought I had researched thoroughly – I DID research thoroughly. But research can only tell you so much about how a country functions. Those of us on the forums who sound tired and cynical are only trying to help.
2. The weather won't be what you expect
I lose count of the times I have told people back in the UK that it's "cold and wet today," only for them to say "yes, but it's not as bad as England is it?"
We have seasons. It gets cold. Sometimes it floods. Last year we had wind that was strong enough to blow the roof off the airport.
There's an awful lot that a headline temperature doesn't tell you. Yes, we do get days when it hits 23 degrees in December – and it's bloody great when it does – but it's neither normal nor guaranteed – so don't go relying on it.
3. Stress doesn't disappear
Yes, moving abroad can undoubtedly remove day-to-day stresses from your life. I don't commute, I work from a laptop (often reclined on a bed or sofa), and sometimes I don't get properly dressed until after lunch.
That doesn't mean there's no stress in my life. I don't have such easy access to well-paid work and I certainly don't have the social safety net that those in the UK can take for granted. I live in a country that, last year, saw the second highest tax increases in the whole world – and next year we can expect to give around 10% more of our entire income to the taxman.
People still get ill, have disagreements and occasionally get out of bed the wrong side. If you think moving abroad will change your life in this way, you're going to be awfully disappointed.
4. You won't become fluent in the language without serious effort
You don't learn to speak a language simply by being exposed to it – not unless you're four years old.
We're getting there with Portuguese. I find that I now understand a fair chunk of the conversations I overhear. Day-to-day interactions in shops and cafes are now effortless, and I can get nearly as much entertainment from a Portuguese newspaper as one in English. However, it's taken three years and I can still only talk at the level of a toddler. I wish I'd learned more before I got here.
5. You never escape the world's crap
The first few months of moving abroad are months of blissful ignorance. You don't understand enough of the language to comprehend the gory details of the latest political scandal, and you're too blinded by the bright sunshine to notice things like poverty and unemployment.
Once you've been somewhere a couple of years, you will become familiar with "warts and all" reality. There will be politicians you hate, TV shows that wind you up and government policies that seem like insanity. You can't avoid reality when you live in it.
It all sounds awfully negative doesn't it? But, as I said at the start, it's not designed to put anyone off. If, however, you are considering moving abroad, you really need to know these things. If your dreams are realistic, they really can come true.
As for me, I'm going to upload this article now. Then, as I do every day, I will take time to cook myself a proper lunch with good fresh local ingredients. Then I'm going to hang out the washing, as it's a bright November day without a cloud in the sky. After a bit more work, I have the family coming over for dinner. As I don't have to travel, I'll have a relaxed couple of hours of shopping and cooking before they arrive, probably bringing a couple of good bottles of wine with them. Would I move abroad again – what do you reckon?
Thinking of moving to Portugal? Then please check out my book.

Never mind the Oh My, let's focus on Oh Canada, instead, eh? This dessert is fairly easy to prepare, and it makes a spectacular Canada Day dessert, what with the lovely reds and whites, and the fresh flavours. If it's the Fourth of July you're celebrating, I've got some tips for you to Americanize this dessert so you can celebrate patriotically as well.
While this is an easy one, it does take some planning and organization. Making the meringue the night before solves the logistics problems best.
The Meringue
6 egg whites
Pinch of salt
1 ½ cups vanilla sugar (or plain if you don't have)
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons vinegar
Make sure your bowl and beaters are spotlessly clean. When you separate the eggs, do them carefully, one at a time, being sure to pour each egg white into the mixing bowl before you crack the next egg. If so much as a drop of yolk enters the whites, you need to start over, so waste not want not by cautiously pouring each white separately.
Add a pinch of salt to the whites in the mixing bowl, and put the beater on to slow speed. Gradually increase the speed to medium high until the eggs start to get frothy. Meanwhile, mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a medium size bowl, and place them handy to the mixer. Also mix the vanilla and vinegar in a little bowl, and have that handy as well.
When the eggs are getting quite frothy, slowly add the sugar mix, while continuing to whip. Once all the sugar is incorporated, turn the speed up to high and add the vanilla mix. Whip for a few more minutes, till the whites are glossy and stiff.
For this family dessert, I made one big Pavlova. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spoon the whites into a big oval shape on the parchment paper. Once all the whites are spooned onto the sheet, use the back of a serving spoon to smooth out a large crater, building up the walls. The idea is to make a holding area for the Pavlova fillings.
Bake at 250 F for an hour. If it darkens or cracks, lower the temperature by 25 degrees. (Mine always tans a smidge, and cracks do form. Oh well, it's still magnificent!)
The Custard Filling (First Topping)
3 tablespoons Bird's Custard Powder
5 tablespoons vanilla sugar (plain if you don't have it)
zest from half a lemon
2 ½ cups whole milk
6 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 vanilla bean, scraped (optional)
In a medium saucepan, combine the custard powder, sugar, lemon zest and a small amount of the milk. Whisk till it's smooth. Add the rest of the milk, and turn the heat on to medium. Stir continually and watch it thicken. Within about seven minutes, it will be thickening, and shouldn't have that raw cornstarch taste anymore. Remove from the heat. Whisk the yolks in their bowl, and slowly drip a spoonful of the hot milk mix into the yolks, while whisking. Continue to drip more and more hot milk mix into the yolks, whisking all the time. The yolks will lighten. When you can't get any more milk into that bowl, transfer the yolk and milk mix back into the remainder of the hot milk mix in the saucepan, whisking all the while. Put back on heat, and whisk till it's boiling gently. Remove from heat, stirring in vanilla and scrapings if you use them, and set aside. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
The Fruit (Second Topping)
4 cups organic strawberries
3 tablespoons vanilla sugar (plain if you don't have it)
¼ teaspoon rose water
1 cup fresh blueberries (optional)
Because this was a Canada Day dessert, I stuck to strawberries. If I was making this dessert south of the border, I'd still use strawberries, but also a few blueberries placed artfully at the last minute. Core and slice the strawberries. Sprinkle the sugar and rosewater over the strawberries. Toss gently and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
The Whipped Cream (Last Topping)
1 cup heavy cream (around 35%)
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar (plain if you don't have) Hint, hint, make some vanillasugar soon. You will love it.
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons rose syrup (optional)
Make sure your cream and utensils are cold. I put the whisk into the freezer an hour before I use it. Keeping these items cold is especially important if you're working in a hot kitchen. Cream will suddenly turn to butter if the ingredients aren't chilled. Whip on high speed. As the cream thickens, slowly sprinkle in the sugar and continue to whip. When peaks are beginning to form add the vanilla and whip till the cream peaks stay standing. Better the cream is slightly too soft than to push it too far, as that will cause a disaster.
Finally, assemble this baby at the last minute. Peel the parchment away from the meringue and place on a large platter. Spoon the custard filling into the crater. Spread the strawberries over the custard. Arrange blueberries artfully if required. Spoon whipped cream in sections over the dessert, so you can serve less rich versions to your sensible guests. Finally, if you have it, dribble a line of rose syrup over the works.
Here in Calgary, we'll be celebrating with an especially patriotic vigor this year. Having endured unprecedented flooding, we're all a little in shock, but we are rallying, so celebrating well this year is an absolute must. Happy July First every one, and to our American friends, you have a fabulous Fourth of July too!

I still vividly remember the evening of Thursday 12 September 2002. It was a unique experience. Never before had I been to such a gathering. I was, perhaps, the only gentile in the packed hall of the reputed Jewish centre in central London. It had been a year since the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington. To mark the first anniversary of those atrocities, the organisers deemed it only appropriate to stage a lecture on Muslim antisemitism and the imminent Islamic threat to Britain. The lecturer was Professor Robert Wistrich, a specialist in antisemitism from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I owe this educational opportunity to the BBC radio's Sunday programme. Its producers wished for me to listen to Wistrich expound his theory about the threat Islam poses to Britain and then record a discussion between me and him in an adjacent room.
Providing his Jewish audience with a long list of reasons why Islam was a threat to the United Kingdom, Wistrich proposed two necessary steps to ward off such danger. The first measure would be for Islam to be reformed, the way Christianity and Judaism were reformed because its doctrines are the main reason for provoking Muslim antisemitism. The second measure would be for the British intelligence and security agencies to monitor, arrest and even expel from the UK all such Muslim elements that pose a threat to the security of the country or express antisemitic views.
During the question-and-answer session, antisemitism on campus became a main point of discussion. A senior Jewish community figure warned that Jewish students on campuses across the United Kingdom were losing ground because of their inability to refute arguments made against Israel by its critics. He warned that some Jewish students had been apologising to their Muslim counterparts in discussions over the situation in the Middle East. In conclusion, he suggested the need for special training programs for Jewish students since, as he put it, booklets and pamphlets are not sufficient to teach them how to respond to Israel's enemies.
It would seem that his advice was heeded. Pro-Israel Jewish students in campus have, since, been resorting to tactics that make it more difficult for Israel's critics to speak in public on campus. Rather than accept the challenge of public debates, their methodology involves appealing to university authorities to ban speakers accused of antisemitism or so-called hate speech. Yet, Israel's critics have not desisted. They have pursued their endeavour to express solidarity with the Palestinians and shed more light on the ill-treatment meted to them by their Israeli oppressors with ever more vigour.
I was approached on a number of occasions by members of the British Jewish community to discuss how together we could extinguish the fire raging on campus between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian students. Concerned about the repercussions of these wars by proxy, Jewish and Muslim representatives spent hours discussing how to reduce the damage Middle East politics was inflicting on UK community relations. A series of meetings were held, starting from late 2002, at times in an Islamic venue and at others at a Jewish venue. The Muslim side was prepared to continue and expand the meetings, but the Jewish side could not proceed further because of pressure believed to have been exercised by powerful elements within the UK pro-Israel lobby.
A Jewish friend of mine managed to arrange a meeting in late 2005 between me and a very senior and highly influential Jewish community leader to discuss the crisis in Muslim-Jewish relations. Over coffee, we discussed the Middle East conflict and the impact it was having on students on campus. We agreed that solving the conflict was well beyond us but that avoiding a war of attrition between British Muslims and Jews could be within reach. We acknowledged that there were profound differences that might or might not be bridged but recognised that there was much common territory and platforms in which to work together. Both of us expressed readiness to commit to establishing a small working group, which could potentially include Iqbal Sacranie, the (then) secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, and Henry Grunwald, the (then) president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Two areas emerged where work was needed and where potential for success existed: strengthening Muslim and Jewish community relationships to work together and to limit the damage of such groups as the BNP; and to set up a code of conduct between Muslim and Jews, particularly in relation to the student population who, in spite of their political differences, could manage to be respectful to one another. This, we hoped, would insure freedom of speech and not banning each other's presence on campus.
Our host was most delighted at this initial accomplishment and hoped that soon we'd be meeting again at her place. We parted with an understanding that we would meet after I had consulted my colleagues at the Muslim Council of Britain and he had spoken to the Jewish Board of Deputies to see if they were willing to join in. I had no difficulty securing the approval of the MCB to meet with the Board of Deputies immediately. Yet, my Jewish friend never came back with any news and our second meeting was never held, to the profound disappointment of our mutual friend.
Today, the war on campus is raging more fiercely than ever. There is no debate or discussion among Muslim and Jewish students, but campaigns to bar and tarnish and to demonise and deny. I've repeatedly told my fellow Muslim students that I was opposed to any such campaigns and I made this position clear to them after Benny Morris was recently denied a platform at Cambridge University.
As for me, I've been the target of Jewish students across the UK. Over the past five months, pro-Israel students in five universities have lobbied the authorities to bar me from speaking. My speaking engagements were almost cancelled at Birmingham, Cambridge, Soas, Manchester and Queen Mary had it not been for the wisdom of academic authorities who came out in full support of freedom of speech. The campaign to deny me access to Birmingham travelled beyond university walls all the way to Westminster. Having failed to convince the university authorities, the pro-Israel students appealed to the media and to parliament. Lobbyists accused Birmingham University of allowing "a notorious Jew-hater and supporter of terrorist attacks" to speak to students at an event on campus. The assumption has always been that students were vulnerable and could easily be misled or misguided, while in fact, students are always more than capable of making up their own minds about what they hear.
Coming to the rescue of a faltering campaign, the director of the Centre for Social Cohesion, Douglas Murray, wrote to the university urging it to cancel the event at which I was going to speak. The failure of his endeavour prompted the MP Denis MacShane to write to the university's vice-chancellor, urging him to cancel my talk because I am a supporter of Hamas. When the university refused to heed his request, MacShane took the issue to parliament and asked the prime minister to intervene, complaining that Professor David Eastwood, the university's vice-chancellor, refused to cancel the event in support freedom of expression. MacShane's question to the prime minister was: "Does the prime minister agree that freedom of expression, which is vital, is not the same as providing a platform for hate? We have to shut down those incubators of hate against our values and against the Jewish people?"
The Jewish Chronicle claimed that Gordon Brown and the universities minister, David Lammy, expressed concern that Birmingham University was refusing to ban me from speaking. The weekly newspaper quoted MacShane as saying:
"The university is in complete and utter denial about the threat to freedom posed by allowing a preacher of antisemitic hate and jihad to speak. The question is whether one of our universities should provide a platform for this hate doctrine. Professor Eastwood has decided that the university should be where a spokesman for anti-Jewish and anti-democratic hate can have his say."
It also quoted Jon Benjamin, Board of Deputies' chief executive, as saying:
"This is yet another wake-up call for universities to tackle the growing trend of extremism on campus."
In a bid to intimidate students and dissuade them from inviting me to speak, the Jewish Chronicle has repeatedly claimed that I was reported to the police after speaking at Soas in February and that "the Crown Prosecution Service is considering whether to press charges" because of comments I made against Israel.
If anything, these interventions by pro-Israel lobbyists in the media and parliament prove that the flame of tension on campus is not without external fanners. The extremism and the hate-speech often referred to as reasons to stifle free speech are nothing but code words for any attempt to criticise Israel or shed light on the plight of the Palestinians, its victims.

Everyone has favorites – favorite actor, favorite book, even favorite color. You have too. So have you ever wondered what does your favorite color mean? Yes, even your favorite color can tell me something about you and your personality – I don't even have to know you in person to understand your personality to some extent.
Here's a list of colors and their meanings for you – look up your favorite color and see if it's meaning matches your personality or not. Contact me to gain more insight into your personality – remember you can use colors for emotional healing as well as physical healing.
If your favorite color is pure white, you possess a peaceful personality, among other positive personality traits. On the negative side, you might be harsh on others, as well as on yourself at times. If you favor off-whites, you might be more prone to feelings of desolation.
If your favorite color is pure red, you have the fighter spirit – you'll work to get what you want. You can be quite stubborn too, which can be good or bad, depending on the situation. Red lovers are more prone to high blood pressure and other heart ailments, so take care of your health.
If your favorite color is brown, you are a sober person. Self-doubt can sometimes pull you down, so try not to get carried away. Those favoring dark browns are more likely to be self-centered and biased.
If your favorite color is yellow, you are known for your quickness. However, this also means you might be hasty. So try to restrain yourself before jumping to any conclusions, or acting on any impulse. People favoring dark yellows or mustard tend to be cynical, complaining and nagging.
If your favorite color is green, you are a talented individual. However, you can be quite unreliable at times too. You can get caught up at the moment and be blind to the needs and emotions of the others around you. And those favoring darker shades of green are prone to extreme possessiveness.
If your favorite color is blue, you are a faithful person. Those favoring pale blue shades can do a lot of work with little to show for it, so there is a tendency to miss opportunities. On the other hand, those who favor darker shades of blue are masters of manipulation.
If your favorite color is purple, you are an artistic individual. You might be considered a social snob. And those favoring dark purple can be overbearing and very arrogant.
If your favorite color is black, you are an idealist, who can be quite difficult at times. Also, too much of black can lead to depression, so try to mix it up at times with the other colors.
If your favorite color is gray, you have a soothing personality. At best, you are optimistic. On the other hand, you are always desperate to leave your present situation. At the worst, behavior of those favoring gray are actually more bizarre, rather than insane.
Can't find your favorite color above? Email me now to know exactly what does your favorite color mean, and much more. You can also use our contact form for a quick color consultation.

Teach Me
Members of Mrs. Magician and The Sess have formed a new band called Teach Me. The group features Mrs. Magician's Tommy Garcia and The Sess' Jeremy Rojas and Andrew Montoya, and have already recorded their debut seven-inch, which is tentatively slated for release in September via Volar Records. The band also is playing a show on Aug. 19 with Audacity and Violent Human System at Che Cafe.
That's not their debut show, however. The group's first set went a bit under the radar when they performed at Soda Bar in February for talent buyer (and Mrs. Magician drummer) Cory Stier's birthday, forming a new band just for the occasion.
"We wrote six songs in a week," says Garcia in a phone interview. "Jeremy had the idea for the band just kind of in his head. He had some song ideas and sounds that would be used. Just the overall vibe of the band."
This is the trio's first official band together, though they've been friends since they were teenagers, and used to have informal jam sessions. For this band, however, there was a loose but somewhat specific objective: To be punk as fuck.
"We just wanted to be a punk band," he says. "We're not trying to do anything overly technical. Just rad, loud, old punk. Some of it's noisier like The Jesus Lizard or Big Black. Some of it's more like Black Flag. And there's some poppier stuff, kinda like Buzzcocks riffs."
The band's Aug. 19 show was originally slated as their unofficial release show for their debut single, which is now due next month, and after that they'll be lining up more dates. However, because of the three musicians' combined schedules and obligations, Teach Me won't necessarily become a full-time gig.
"We're all really busy with work and family stuff," Garcia says. "I don't think we're going to be doing any big tours, maybe just West Coast. We're also going to be working on a record. Hopefully it'll be out early next year."

If you long for a quiet, idyllic, Leave it to Beaver-style neighborhood, check out Kiestwood in Oak Cliff. Between hilly tree-lined streets, shaded front yards, and Midcentury upper-middle-class homes, you'll expect to see Wally, the Beaver, and Eddie Haskell stroll down the sidewalk at any minute.
Built from 1950 to 1965 during the post-war building boom in North Texas, the neighborhood's original subdivisions – Kiestwood Estates and Southwood Estates – were ideal for executives and managers in the nearby defense industry as well as downtown professionals who sought convenient access to the central business district.

New PLAYSTATION®3 Firmware Update Adds PS3™ Remote Start Via PSP® and New Information Board That Delivers PlayStation News Updates Directly to the XMB™ Screen
Other New Upgrades Include the Ability to Use Customized XMB Themes, Build Photo and Music Playlists, and the Creation of New PLAYSTATION®Network Category Icon
FOSTER CITY, Calif., November 7, 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced that the next system software update for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system, firmware version 2.00, will be available on Thursday, Nov. 8, and will add several features that enhance the user experience. Firmware 2.00 will deliver exciting new features such as Remote Start, which upgrades the Remote Play feature by enabling users to turn on a PS3™ system remotely with their PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system from an Internet hotspot, and a new Information Board, where users will find the latest PlayStation® news and updates in a scrolling window on the XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) menu screen. Other new features include the addition of custom themes that personalize the XMB interface, the ability to build music and photo playlists, and the creation of a PLAYSTATION®Network category on XMB.
"PLAYSTATION 3 is constantly evolving and this latest firmware is a great example of how we can make existing features such as Remote Play even more userfriendly. We're also delivering entirely new offerings that increase our touchpoints with consumers through the new Information Board," said Eric Lempel, Director, PLAYSTATION Network™ Operations, SCEA. "These types of updates show the value of PS3™ goes beyond your initial purchase, and we're continuing to evaluate new technology upgrades and consumer interests to develop future firmware updates throughout PS3™'s lifecycle."
Remote Start
Since May 2007, the Remote Play feature has enabled users to stream photos, videos, and music stored on their PS3™ hard drive or PC onto a PSP™ system, whenever their PSP™ system is connected to a wireless Internet access point (or hotspot). Consumers have also been able to use PS3™ system as a gateway to remotely access media files stored on their PC with their PSP™ system, all through PS3™'s Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) capability. Now users no longer have to leave their PS3™ system on when they leave home, as the new firmware update adds Remote Start, allowing a PSP™ system to remotely turn on a PS3™ system from a hotspot. Once they're done using Remote Play, users can also turn off their PS3™ with their PSP™. This delivers greater flexibility to the Remote Play feature and makes accessing media files on-the-go easier than ever.
Information Board
A new Information Board enables SCEA to communicate directly with PS3™ users, delivering information to XMB on a regular basis about new content added to PLAYSTATION®Store, software releases, hardware news, firmware details and other updates. The Information Board consists of a window on the upper right corner above the XMB that scrolls through the headlines of each item. Users can read the entire "story" or update by clicking on the Information Board icon under the Network category. Some Information Board updates will include a Web site link for more information, which the user can click on to view using PS3™system's browser. Moving forward, the Information Board will be a valuable communications tool that allows SCEA to push real-time news and updates to PS3™ owners. Users can turn the scrolling window on or off by clicking on the Information Board icon under the Network category and changing the setting.
Other Feature Upgrades
To install the latest system software on your PS3™ system, you can select the System Update feature when your system is connected to the Internet; use a PC to download the update data and transfer it to the PS3™ system through storage media or a USB mass storage device; or install it using update data included on an upcoming game disc.

Rating: 18+ sexual content, language
Genre: Contempory Romance
Goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19169739-stolen-course
I've had time to digest this book and I'm still not a 100% sure that I like Caleb. There are times, many in fact, where I want to give up on him completely. He is a complete jerk to Emma for things that are outside of her control and it got to the point where I started getting annoyed with her because she just kept taking him back. Thankfully after that one big fight she didn't and it made me like her a whole lot more.
Caleb's biggest problems is that he is stuck in the past and can't let go of Manda. He holds on to so much hate for Sarah that it carries over in his relationship with Emma. But thankfully, she makes him feel things that he hasn't felt in 5 years so we get to a glimpse of the man that he was before he was forever changed with Manda died.
Emma holds her own against Caleb and I love that she does. He needed someone to light a fire under him to pull him out of his grief. Them together is explosive, that it kind of reminded me of the reference that Eminem made with volcano and tornado coming together. It was a whirlwind for both of them and definitely changed both of their lives.
Once again Martinez is able to create characters that have such diverse emotions. Unlike many of the male leads in other romantic books, he is not someone that you love 100%. He has got his issues that run deeper than the ocean and it makes you not like him at points of the story, such much that you actually wish the couple doesn't end up together. But of course, that can't happen because where would the fun in that be.

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four young children.
Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.
She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.

South Korea gave us 2012's most flamboyant, lovable cultural import, the pastel-suit wearing, invisible horse-riding Psy, whose inescapably catchy single, "Gangnam Style," had everyone from Britney Spears to MC Hammer dancing along. But multiple reports have surfaced that Psy rapped violently anti-American lyrics during Korean protest performances in 2002 and 2004.
Mediate says that in 2002, Psy smashed a model American tank to the ground to protest the death of two Korean girls killed by a tank in South Korea. In 2004, protesters blamed the revenge-death of a South Korean missionary by Iraqi Islamists on their country's participation in the U.S.-led Iraq war. During the 2004 protests, Korean artists performed the song, "Dear American," over which Psy rapped the lyrics:
Kill those f***ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives
Kill those f***ing Yankees who ordered them to torture
Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers
Kill them all slowly and painfully
Buzzfeed found an original version of the song, by N.E.X.T:

For Immediate Release
October 2, 2014
Treasurer Cowell Named One of World's Top Investors
Raleigh, N.C. - The Sovereign Wealth Fund announced today
that Treasurer Janet Cowell has been named 18th in the prestigious Sovereign
Wealth Fund's Public Investors 100 list for 2014. Cowell, who is sole trustee
for North Carolina's $90 billion pension fund, ranked 21st last year.
"North Carolina's retirees can be confident that
their pension is safe and conservatively managed for the long term,"
Treasurer Cowell said. "This global recognition affirms the work of our
investment team and the strategic efforts we continue to make to secure the
pension fund."
The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute (SWFI) is a global
organization designed to study sovereign wealth funds and other long-term
governmental investors in the areas of investing, asset allocation, risk,
governance, economics, policy, trade, and other relevant issues. The investors
on the list were chosen by SWFI staff and come from medium- to large-sized
asset owners. They are judged not only on fund size, but also on management and
trends in the asset-owner industry.
"SWFI is pleased to once again, welcome Janet Cowell
to the Public Investor 100," the report stated. "Since her last
appearance in the rankings, North Carolina Retirement Systems' asset under
management has mushroomed to over US $90 billion, with a 15.88% return for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2014."
"This is a meaningful list," said Michael
Maduell, CEO of SWFI. "The men and women of the Public Investor 100,
collectively responsible for trillions of dollars in public assets, are some of
the most powerful and influential people in the world, and their actions and
innovations resonate throughout the lives of their stakeholders and
constituents globally."

for the pension fund, is now the tenth largest public pension fund in the

officers and other public workers. For more information, visit

Jack White's Ex-Wife Karen Elson Gets Restraining Order Against White
Elson accuses White of harassment and bullying in custody battle; White's hatred for the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach revealed
Photo: Jo McCaughey
Update: TMZ has posted emails sent from White to Elson. Among other things, they confirm that the musician whose children White does not want his children associating with is Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. He writes, "That's a possible twelve fucking years I'm going to have to be sitting in kids chairs next to that asshole with other people trying to lump us in together. He gets yet another free reign to follow me around and copy me and push himself into my world."
Model and musician Karen Elson has filed a restraining order against her ex-husband, Jack White, Nashville City Paper reports. White and Elson have been fighting over custody of their two children, daughter Scarlett and son Henry Lee, and Elson alleges that White has been harassing her.
According to City Paper, the restraining order states, "Wife fears for her and the children's safety as a result of this harassment." It also says, "This pattern of husband's bullying wife into submission was a contributing factor in the demise of their marriage."
The order was served on July 22. White is permitted to communicate with Elson only over email and is not allowed to have "any contact with wife whatsoever except as it relates to parenting time with the parties' minor children."
City Paper describes two incidents of alleged harassment:
White wanted Elson to contact their kids' private school in an effort to get their kids out of a class in which another entertainer's child was present. White said that he feels that entertainer 'ripped off' his music, the order said. In another incident, White berated Elson when she attended the wedding of a rival musician. Again, he was upset because this entertainer also 'ripped off' his music, according to the order. The musician was unnamed in the court filing.
According to City Paper, the next hearing in the custody case is on August 29. Elson's lawyer told City Paper that "both sides have been working to settle the dispute privately."
White and Elson were married from 2005 to 2011. When they announced their divorce, they threw a party. The invitation said, "We remain dear and trusted friends and co-parents to our wonderful children Scarlett and Henry Lee. We feel so fortunate for the time we have shared and the time we will continue to spend both separately and together watching our children grow."

Where I belong.
There was a time when my response to this theme day challenge would have taken me at least a dozen metres to the east. I would have considered myself belonging in the middle of any body of water, particularly if there was some sort of surf craft involved.
Now I'm inclined to think that boats are a great solution for travelling across water, and living on one for much of the year, and beside the world's largest ocean for the rest of the time, there can be little argument that I belong somewhere at the water's edge!
This is just one of many photos on today's "where do you belong?" theme. See more at this link.

That's where we are do different, the waters edge just doesn't figure in "home" to me. Though a nice little creek, pond or dam is good. But never "on" or "in" the water.

SG ~ second set of questions
2. What were some of the hardships Pearl and May went through -- before, during, and after their stay on Angel Island?
3. What were paper sons? How did paper sons drive the storyline?
4. What did you think of China City, the tourist attraction that was intended to look and feel like an "authentic" Chinese city?
5. Why do you think nobody insisted that May take care of her own husband?
2 comments:
- Bonnie Jacobs said...
I have posted another set of questions about Shanghai Girls.
- June 16, 2010 at 1:56:00 PM EDT
- Shirley said...
1. The interrogation that the Chinese immigrants faced and the difficulty in being allowed to stay was much different than that the European immigrants faced on Ellis Island.
2. Pearl and May faced daily interrogation as well as physical hardships while on Angel Island. After Pearl realized why May was prolonging their stay, they dealt with the coverup, pregnancy, and delivery. They also dealt with the shock of learning that the promised wealth of the family of their husbands was a lie.
3. Paper sons are sons on paper only. Chinese wanting to go to America bought the paper indicating that they were a deceased American born son. All of Louie's sons except Vern were paper sons.
4. The fakeness of China City fit well with the other lies of the story. Having Mexicans as rickshaw pullers contributed to the falseness as well as a reminder of how ignorant the public was.
5. Caring can't be forced. May wouldn't care for Vern. Pearl would and did. May brought a source of income to the family and the family was willing to accept her refusal to care for Vern in return.
