Living with integrity does not mean that every choice you make is nonnegotiable. Most decisions are open to compromise, from where you decide to live to how you spend the holidays.
In matters of principle, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the current.
Thomas Jefferson
The only issues not open to bargaining are those that would compromise the essence of who you are.
Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.
Saint Augustine
You speak and act authentically, unafraid to tactfully express your true thoughts and feelings.
To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Phil's eBook, The Logic of Living a Spiritual Life: Supporting a Life of Faith Through Logic and Reason, is now available for 99 cents.
Order it at GodIsLogical.com.
In this eBook, you'll find answers to questions like:
• What is the cornerstone of a spiritual life, and why?
• What is the secret to liberating yourself from other people's judgments and expectations?
• How do you reconcile the "free will vs. Divine Will" conundrum?
• Why is there an exception to "Everything happens for a reason"?
Those who worship logic instead of God are only half right. Not only is it logical to believe in God and to live a faith-based life, the existence of a loving, benevolent God that governs all creation is perhaps the only systematic worldview that explains every aspect of life.
Phil is also the author of Sixty Seconds: One Moment Changes Everything, a collection of 45 inspiring, life-changing stories from prominent authors and thought leaders he interviewed. The roster of storytellers includes Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, Caroline Myss, Larry Dossey, Rachel Naomi Remen, Bernie Siegel, Dean Ornish, and Christiane Northrup. Sixty Seconds has been translated into four languages: Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Reading this book is like spending a few minutes face to face with each of the contributors and listening to their personal stories.

Good governance means having great people at the top looking out for the company. But how much should a company pay for a good director? In this TV show Caroline Newsholme discusses pay vs performance.
You should certainly pay for talent. And good directors come at a price. But there's a feeling that directors remuneration is slightly out of kilter with the real world. It's certainly being increasing, notwithstanding the fact that we are in a recession, there's been a quite substantial upwards trend
And obviously a lot of companies have struggled and may not have performed as well. So there there's an inconsistency between actually the wellbeing of the company and what the directors are being paid.
But I think certainly directors are alive to the concerns that have been voiced by investors and the business world generally. I don't think they are blasé about the position, they recognise that there has to be a proper link between pay and performance and we can't continue to see excess packages which are not really justified. Whether we'll get change at the rate we need change is another question.
But there's a lot of impetus in the corporate world to increase transparency and to change what's gone before.
If you are interested in discussions around good governance take a look at our briefings on director's remuneration and board effectiveness.

Informed financial planning advisors pass on their wisdom to clients. If a company fails they will naturally look at back at this advice. In this TV show Doug Hall discuses throwing the spotlight on professional advice.
For example auditors, we are dealing with a number of cases, where a company has failed, and if the company had not failed there wouldn't be an issue. But in the company going into administration for example, major creditors had lost and they may say that they have relied for example on audited accounts to make decisions, to lend money or to support the company and in the cold light of day the company having failed, that's an example where you may go back and look at what the auditor said in earlier years. So we have situations arising from insolvent companies where the spotlight is thrown onto a whole range of professional advice that they were given before the company failed. Which never would have come under that spotlight if the company hadn't gone into administration for example. It's not an area that we get involved in but valuers have seen a big increase in the number of actions against them very simple because the banks relied on valuations of properties for example, and then when the company has gone into administration and the bank has lost out, they then go back and look again at the professional opinions that they relied upon, in making their original lending decisions.
Inside Finance will continue to produce great videos on informed financial planning advisors and similar subjects.

The standard for modern guitar versatility and muscle. Mustang amps are incredible Fender tone machines for today's guitarists, driven by remarkably authentic amp models, a wealth of built-in effects, easy USB connectivity and Fender® FUSE™ software that lets your musical creativity and imagination run wild. And like no other amps, Mustang models make it easy to record, edit, store and share your music.
Ideal for guitarists new to digital recording, the versatile Mustang I delivers an exciting ride for such a compact and easily portable design, with great tone from 20 watts of power, an 8" speaker and an astounding array of features.
This is a great amp, considering the price and all of the sounds you can get out of it. I never touched a pedal when this was my main amp. It is great for practice and for those who never really take their guitar out of the house. I recently upgraded to an old crate tube amp, as I am not starting to play more in public. This amp is really only for beginners, and or for practice purposes. Still, it is a great little amp.
The title says it all. I could go on and on about this amp, but I will spare you the endless ramblings on sound and features. If you need an amp for at home, and you don't wanna break the bank, I highly recommend the Fender Mustang V.2
This is a great practice-amp. It has great tone, especially on al RED-LED presets. it has 24 presets ( Green led, Red Led, amber Led) U can create your own tones on it and it has a tuner build-in. this amp has never failed me and it's always a pleaure playing on it. If it would ever break down, I'd buy this again. No doubt
Alright first and foremost, this amp as a VERY nice clean tone for a 100$ amp. It comes with a modulation and stompbox software that can also be helpful for new players trying to achiever a nice variety of sounds. The amp is also pretty decent at taking pedals up front.
However, the distorted sounds are pretty much shit, and the "low saturation" "crunchy" sound is pretty much a no factor. It is most definitely not loud enough if you end up in band practice with other entry level amps such as the Line 6 Spider series or even a Blues Junior.
This is a really varied amplifier. What I usually use it for is finding the basic tone for a particular piece of music. It's perfect for writing on because there are so many completely different sounds and tone just seconds away. I bought the MI which is only 20W because I mainly use it for writing and practicing.
I bought mine after the other guitarist in my band came to practice with his and I was surprised with all the amp could do. It is a great amp for someone who is starting off or is low on cash. I used the amp for band practices and to write songs at home, I now use it mainly for writing and for performances at local coffee house. The amp works great but if it is played at a volume of any higher than six a very noticeable burning smell will come from the amp and smell up the entire room. This caused my band to begin putting mics on our amps at band practice which works out well and sounds great but can be expensive.
burning smell? is this a modeler with a preamp tube in the circuit? if so check the tube, it probably shorting. The burning smell is the heaters of the tube melting the PCB and ruining your toy. If there isn't a preamp tube then check out the speaker. Since it is only at higher volumes it could be a problem with the voice coil rubbing when you hit the speaker with a lot of power. If that's not it you are fucked. Its something critical in the DSP section of power amp and you might as well just throw her out.
Plenty of volume, and some really good tones. The on-board reverb and delay effects are fun for practicing. The gain tones aren't bad, either. Bought one for my lessons studio and have no complaints thus far. Students love it. The USB connectivity is nice, both for direct recording (demo tracks would be my recommendation) and software updates. I'm a tube lover and a tube player exclusively. If this had tubes, I would gladly give it 5 stars.
This is a phenomenal practice amp. It accurately models many different amps and allows you to add effects through the bundled Fender Fuse. I don't recommend gigging with this amp - it's a little too small for that - but it's a great practice amp.
It's a nice amp for students.. There is a lot of tones and effects.. And this is very helpfull to find your sound style or segment of music.. :)
Of course it's not the best amp based on the size and wattage alone, but for the size, price, and diversity it offers, it really is an amazing amp.
I used this with a Peavey Rage 158 at the same time with and ABY switch. loved the tone they gave together but the fender sounds amazing by its self as well.
This isn't really a gig Amp, its more for a home practice amp, it makes a great sound and has loads of built in effects you can explore.
Have a great sound, a lot of differents sets and amps. I think is one of my best buys!
I've had it for 3 years and it never broke or served me wrong. I would easily recommend it as a beginner amp.
This was my first amp and when i started i liked it. It had a ton of options and mods which at the time sounded like a great idea but after acquiring some pedals i realized the amp couldn't take them. With this being a digital amp the effects on board sounded a bit cheap and when i added even light overdrive at low/mid volume the amp begins to peak and start to get fuzzy sounding. For a bedroom guitarist who doesn't have pedals or someone on a tight budget its a fun practice amp but with any pedals other than delay this amp fall drastically short to comparable solid states by brands like Orange or Vox in the similar price range.
My first and current amplifier. Doing well in a rehearsal session
This is a great amp, you can use any guitar and it will sound great.
Awesome little modelling amp! You get a lot for what your paying!
La série d'amplificateurs la plus vendue au monde est de retour avec de nouvelles caractéristiques, un nouveau look et toute la flexibilité que vous pouvez attendre d'un Fender® Mustang. La nouvelle série d'amplificateurs Fender® Mustang V.2 hausse encore le niveau pour les guitaristes modernes qui ont besoin de polyvalence et de puissance, grâce à cinq nouvelles modélisations d'amplis, cinq nouveaux effets, et une fonction de pitch shift intelligente. La nouvelle série Mustang est équipée de la connectivité USB et est accompagnée du logiciel Fender® FUSE™, pour que vous puissiez laisser libre cours à votre imagination et votre créativité musicale.
Good amp for the price, I started out with this amp and it served me very well. It is pretty responsive, and it does well in small gigs (coffee shops, small bars, indoors, etc.). It is also a pretty good practice amp!
It's a simple and easily to use, I ilke this amp to start in the music world.
I bought this amp because I can't afford anything else currently and it is a fairly decent small solid state amp. I mostly use the bypass function to run my Boss ME-80 multi-effects pedalboard through and it handles that pretty well. The built in amp voicings are ok, they could be worse. The effects and delay aren't very adjustable. The volume is pretty loud for such a small amp. For the money you can't beat the value though.
I have just started playing in the past 2-3 years and this is what I got a deal on. I am looking for a Marshall tube amp or equivalent.
I used this to record the first album...
This is my main amp at the moment (February 2019) It is a 20 watt modeling amp from fender and it is pretty cool for the money
this thing is junk and i dont use it anymore.
This is a crazy good amp for its price, I use my pedalboard mixed with the preloaded effects for things like phaser or autowah. My top amp pick for jamming, doesn't get much better than that lol.
This amp is great for me cause when i got it i had no effect pedals to use, so with this amp that came with tons of effect presets it was perfect, there is a great amount of custom setting potential. Would highly recommend.
It's a great practice amp. Has the Fender clean sound on point for its size.
It's a great practice amp. Has the Fender clean sound on point for its size.
Got this around the time of my first guitar: great tone, beautiful clean sound to rockin' overdriven noise. Perfect for kids in garage bands: can be loud enough to play at small gigs and quiet enough to play in your room at night. Good amp, low price, definitely recommend.

Biomass fuel solution to high heating oil prices
According to estimates from the Energy Information Administration, prices for U.S. home heating oil rose 24 percent in February 2011, compared to February 2010. With prices expected to continue to rise, members of the Northeast Biomass Thermal Working Group are urging homeowners, business owners and policy makers to take action making the business owners and policy makers to take action making the utilization of renewable heating options, such as biomass, a reality for more residents of the Northeastern United States. According to the group, steadily rising fossil fuel costs are, once again, causing the region to refocus efforts in support of renewable alternatives.
"The Northeastern U.S. is witnessing a rise in home heating fuel oil and propane costs—a dependency that drains our regional economy of billions each year," said Charlie Niebling, co-chair of the NEBTWG steering committee and general manager of New England Wood Pellet. "Biomass, such as pellet fuel and wood chips, provides an alternative to exporting 75 cents out of every Northeastern dollar spent, which is what occurs with heating oil from foreign sources. Heating homes and businesses with biomass not only saves money on heating bills, but helps communities to retain more of their wealth due to local sourcing, delivery and use of sustainably produced fuel."
The New York Biomass Alliance has estimated that, on a per million Btu basis, heating costs in January 2011 varied dramatically by fuel type. For instance, No. 2 heating oil, commonly used for residential heat, was $24.90 per MMBtu. Bagged wood pellets were $14.70 per MMBtu. This means that heating a home with No. 2 fuel oil was approximately 69 percent more expensive than heating the same home with wood pellets. Another biomass fuel source, delivered cordwood, was even less expensive at $8 to $10 per MMBtu. Prices are trending up for February and beyond, further growing the cost divide between fossil home heating fuels and biomass.
NEBTWG's recent policy publication, "Heating the Northeast with Renewable Biomass: a Bold Vision for 2025," details the path towards a 25 percent replacement of the Northeast's fossil fuel with renewable energy sources by 2025. Major findings from the vision publication include the potential creation and retention of 140,000 Northeastern jobs and the reinvestment of $4.5 billion into the region.
At its third annual conference in Manchester, N.H., April 14 and 15, 2011, NEBTWG will be discussing policy solutions related to residential and commercial heating with biomass. The conference, titled Heating the Northeast with Renewable Biomass, will reiterate the vision's principles and call for a renewed commitment to the advancement of the thermal conversion of biomass for heat in the region. Details and registration information is available at www.heatne.com.

NHS Jobs forms safer alliance for online recruitment
NHS Jobs has forged a new partnership with SAFERjobs to help protect health professionals from fraudsters when posting or responding to job adverts online.
SAFERjobs – Safe Advice for Employment and Recruitment – is a non-profit, joint industry and law enforcement organisation created by the Metropolitan Police in 2008 to combat criminal activities targeted at jobseekers and services provided by the recruitment industry.
The partnership comes as SAFERjobs this week released the results of a study of 10,000 UK candidates, which found around a third of students (34%) feel vulnerable to scams when job hunting, with 42% of them admitting they wouldn't know the signs of a scam.
SAFERjobs receives around one million visits a year from a range of jobseekers with five reported incidents of fraud each day – many from jobseekers applying for work in the NHS who respond to fake adverts which request application fees and money for obsolete CRB checks and other costs.

This article was last edited on Feb. 16, 2016. For updated information on amended returns, visit Do I Need to File an Amended Return?
Millions of American's file amended or original tax returns after the tax deadline every year. Both are subject to different limitations and scenarios. Hopefully, I can help explain both of them to you in order to make the process a little bit easier for you. Keep in mind that TaxSlayer.com has all of the tools to make filing your amended tax return, or a tax return following an extension, as easy as possible.
Amended Tax Return
Amended tax returns can be filed for a variety of reason. In short, you should file an amended tax return if any of the return information was incorrectly entered or omitted on the original tax return. For example, say you overlooked a small W2 for an odd job that you worked during the year. You have already filed your tax return but realized after the fact that you forgot to include that W2. You can go back and amend the return, by adding the W2 that was previously left off and correct the situation. One key item to remember is that almost all forms provided to you have also been provided to the IRS. This means that your tax filing may not match the tax FILE that the IRS has for you. While this discrepancy may not have been caught at first, the IRS will eventually notice the difference. A lot of people may neglect to file an amendment because they are afraid they will have to pay additional tax. While this is not always true, it is best to correct the mistake as early as possible to avoid paying increased penalties and interest down the line. Also, many times an amendment can result if a BIGGER refund. This is money that is owed to you by the IRS that you would not receive should you not file an amendment. You can also file an amendment for things such as changes in deductions or missing credits to name a few. If your amendment does result in an additional refund, make sure you wait until you have received the original refund before you file the amendment. All amendments must be filed within 3 years of the original return filing or within 2 years of the date on which you paid the taxes due, whichever is later. TaxSlayer's amended return module is very easy to use and has all of the familiar tips and tools to help you on your way.
Tax Extension
While taxes may be due on April 15th (or April 17th this past tax season) many people file extensions to allow them to file their tax return no later than October 15th of the same year. One common mistake that people make is in thinking that by filing an extension they are also extending the amount of time that they have to pay any tax that they may owe. This is NOT the case. All taxes owed are still due by the original filing deadline. You can request a tax extension in one of three ways. You can either file for the extension online (using TaxSlayer.com), you can pay all or some of the estimated tax that you owe, or you can mail in an application. All of these must be done by the filing deadline. TaxSlayer makes filing an extension very easy. Once you have filed for the extension in one of the methods mentioned above you can file your return like normal using TaxSlayer.com
These are two very common question marks for users of TaxSlayer.com. I hope this has helped explain them even more. As always our support team at TaxSlayer is here and available to help with any questions that you may have. Feel free to email them at firstname.lastname@example.com.

By Richard Hearne, UMR Columnist…
In a recent episode of Downton Abbey, Matthew and Lady Mary Crawley are finishing dressing for dinner when Matthew wants to give Lady Mary an affectionate embrace. Lady Mary puts off the advance with the words, "That would make me untidy."
These words came back to me when I was leaving a tense but productive meeting at church, and one of my friends stated that they wanted to get off all committees and just go to church. What my friend was saying is that working in the church to "make disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world" is untidy. This seems to be a fairly common response from many church members who think the church is too involved in untidy ministries that make them very uncomfortable. A lady once told a preacher friend of mine that she just wanted to sit in the sanctuary and "let the love of Jesus pour over her."
As I continue to study the life and ministry of Jesus, the Disciples and Apostles and John Wesley (fairly important figures in United Methodist theology), I am impressed with how untidy their ministry was. Jesus announces the beginning of his ministry in his hometown and his neighbors threaten to throw him off the cliff. His message is so radical and untidy that the officials that are in power have him crucified.
Almost all of the Disciples and Apostles, according to tradition, suffered death as martyrs for preaching the Good News. Paul tells us of his beatings, imprisonments and finally his death in a Roman jail. John Wesley was expelled from full connection with the Anglican Church because of his work with those living on the margins of society—the poor, sick, those in prison. Bishop Vashti McKenzie of the AME Church is quoted as saying, "We preachers find it much safer to preach about Jesus than to preach what Jesus preached. Preaching about Jesus often endears us while preaching what Jesus preached could endanger us."
This is all very untidy, and a long way from sitting in a pew on Sunday morning and letting the love of Jesus pour over us.
Staying the course
For many years I have been have involved in church work at either the local, conference or general church level and the feeling of dealing with untidy situations remains a constant. On any number of fronts, a church member must face the reality of politics (defined by many as the art of getting things done), tough financial and personnel decisions and supporting, in many cases, unpopular ministries. Many of the "nones," folks with no affiliation with a local church or denomination, are most critical of us church folks for spending too much on ourselves—especially our grand and beautiful buildings. For many churches, after paying for the building and salaries of staff there is little left for programs and ministries. Thus churches continue to struggle with how to respond to the needs of those on the margins.
So how do we learn to deal with the untidy ministries that I believe we are called to be involved with—even ones about which we may have disagreement? We must be involved in the same types of ministry that Jesus and Wesley deemed important—the homeless, the jobless, the hungry, those suffering from addiction and disease and those that are oppressed. We must stop judging who is worthy of our assistance based on some type of personal criteria (if I give them some money they will just spend it on wine or cigarettes) and give freely because that is what Jesus calls us to do.
At a time when so many are saying they want to leave the United Methodist Church because of the General Conference stance on homosexuality, abortion, alcohol, gambling, tobacco, gun control, war, etc. etc. etc., my counsel is that we must stay and work for change—whatever we think that change must be.
We must continue to focus on, as Bishop Scott Jones says, the "extreme center." We don't have to agree on every item but we do have to agree to stay in relationship with one another. We must have the courage of our convictions without demonizing each other—"to love our neighbor as ourselves." We need to stop calling each other names and using harmful words like incompatible, homophobic, hateful. We need to treat each other for who we are—daughters and sons of God who all receive God's love and grace, which is so undeserved.
So I am committed to stay in the church—specifically the United Methodist Church—even though it is untidy. How about you?

Swamplandia! was one of the most interesting books I've read this year. Some of my favorite things in life are eating chocolate, learning about new things, and uninterrupted sleep (preferably through the night). Swamplandia! helped with ONE of those. It was fascinating!
This ambitious novel, written by the twenty-nine year old Karen Russell, was buzzing around on some must read lists for 2012. Swamplandia! is a theme park deep in the Florida Everglades. It's an almost fantastical place with gator wrestling, sensational Everglades memorabilia, a quasi-historical museum and an endangered family called the Bigtrees.
Ava is a thirteen year old girl. She has an older brother, Kiwi, and an older sister, Osceola. Her family is normal in a sense that they love each other, they have history and they are alive. But they are also a little strange. They live isolated but fulfilling lives on one of the alleged Ten Thousand Islands (not our Ten Thousand Islands) of the Florida Everglades. The Bigtree family's connections with the rest of the world are few. One is an old houseboat that serves as an outdated library for the very scattered community of islanders. The other is the ferry that brings tourists back and forth from the mainland to adventure in Swamplandia!
Hilola Bigtree is the mother of this family and she is also the main gator wrestler! (exclamation point was not really necessary in this sentence) She's good; a good showman and a good mother. But she dies quickly of cervical cancer leaving her family fragmented, and the struggling theme park without its headliner.
Simultaneous to Hilola's death and Swamplandia!'s fizzle is a mainland theme park opening called The World of Darkness. Tourists stop coming and the family's way of making a living and surviving in the proud Everglades impossible due disheartening big corporation market push over.
The mourning children deal with their deep loss. Kiwi leaves the island for the mainland with intentions to make money and save Swamplandia! He ends up getting a job at The World of Darkness as a janitor.
Osceola becomes a spiritualist using an Ouija board to try and contact her dead mother. Unfortunately, her mother is not accessible and she starts dating ghosts of young men.
Ava trains with great diligence, dreaming to be the next Hilola Bigtree, the best gator wrestler in the world. She tends and trains the gators in their pit as hard as her thirteen-year-old self can.
Their father leaves the island to save the bankrupt island. The children believe he is meeting with investors for a few weeks, but he is actually working on the mainland as well. Kiwi is gone, and Osceola and Ava are left on their own to tend to the gators and the island. Osceola starts to become more and more bizarre. She runs away, deeply in love with a dead dredgeman to elope in The Underworld, which is where dead people go.
Ava wakes up alone with a note explaining the run away, and a promise ringing in her ears to her brother about keeping their whimsical sister grounded. She sets off with a strange, transient man who is known by locals as the Bird Man, a transient middle-aged man who scares away troublesome birds. The Bird Man's appearance is serendipitous because he tells Ava he knows the way to The Underworld and can help save her sister.
Evil and hardship await the siblings as they follow their own way to save their realities. In the end it seems that people must be adaptable to the way the world changes. Even if it is for the worse. Because life can always be full of love.
Swamplandia! is eerie and haunting. Some parts reminded me of The Dead Marshes of Tolkien and even though the Everglades is a real place, the book feels like a fantasy. It's fabulously alluring and Russell uses amazing imagery to pull it off. In the scene where Ava and the Bird Man are setting out, one lovely sentence reads like this:
We poled around the scummy crystals of the oyster beds and made a beeline for the mirror-like slough. I watched a line of water creep up his pole as the channel deepened, like the mercury in an old-fashioned thermometer, and then we broke into wild sun (page 160).
This movie is Tim Burtonesque, complete with a creepy and unreadable Johnny Depp character. I think people would enjoy the humour and stunning beauty that Ava sees. Russell draws her alive, and gritty, although slightly more mature than thirteen would allow; she is easy to root for and connect to.
Swamplandia! is thick with details. Russell knows the world of the Everglades well, and the history portrayed in the novel about the land and the people who survive there is rich and enthralling. Also, every time that Swamplandia! is printed in this lovely tome, Swamplandia! has an exclamation mark on it. It's details like that which really won me over.
This book made me do a lot of online research about the Everglades. I now want to go there someday and I love books that expose me to new and exciting places. Everglades is an amazing place! I read some cool stuff here: Everglades in Wikipedia, and the government website for the national park.
I also enjoyed the theme of old vs new, of history vs progress. Swamplandia! was old-fashioned and a bit out of touch with popular culture. The World of Darkness (Read: World of Disney) represents the large-scale corporations that have all but taken over the States (and Canada). Russell also talks about survival of the fittest.
The tension between these two ideas makes for a thought-provoking read. Swamplandia! was one of the most interesting books I've read this year.

Our grandparents are an important part to our lives. And though times have changed, and grandparent of today are hardly the typically weak and fragile people, they still need a little attention once in a while. A regret most adults have is never being able to properly establish a good relationship with their grandparents while they were healthy and aware of themselves. If you don't want this regret for yourself and want to strengthen the bond you share with them, then there are quite a few ways to do so. Here are a few ways to make them feel loved and treasured. And while each person is different, these are a few tips that are general, and work for most people.
- Call them regularly – Keeping in touch with them regularly is always a good idea with online chemist australia at Ureeka Wholesale Pharmacy. It will reassure them of your love (which is important, especially if they are home bound or invalid), and also help you be informed of what is happening in their lives. Trust us, this may sound really simple, but it works.
- Take them for their medical checkups – with age, complications in health is not only expected, it's also inevitable. If your grandparents have regular checkups scheduled, then going along with them may sound boring to you, but it'll make them feel good. If possible, buy their medicines for them— just because. You can get it at a discount pharmacy online if you're in a tight budget.
- Show an interest in what they eat – try to get them the best products with advance superlift cream. It may be something they are hesitating to buy for themselves. If you live away from them, and can't grocery shop for them often, consider online grocery shopping websites that deliver. Don't forget to add nutritional health supplements to your list too!
- Offer them their freedom – after some point in your life, your freedom and being able to do things for yourself can get hard. If your grandparents are still healthy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplement enough to travel, gift them with a holiday. It can be either locally, or overseas. If you feel nervous about them travelling by themselves, you can always join them—making your gift extra special to them.
- Hang out with them – take them out, and show them off to your friends. Hang out at their place regularly, and let them pamper you. Being able to take care of you once in a while will make them feel good. Sure, you might have to double your session at the gym, but if it makes them happier, isn't it worth it?

By Anne Kates Smith, Executive Editor December 31, 2008 Tim Winship is an editor-at-large for SmarterTravel.com and publisher of FrequentFlier.com. Are frequent-flier programs still a good deal? These programs have lost a lot of their value over the past five years, in a number of ways. You've seen most airlines increase the number of miles required for awards. American Airlines recently began imposing a $50 cash surcharge to upgrade from coach to first class. International upgrades can cost as much as $350. Frontier and US Airways now charge a $25 frequent-flier-award ticketing fee for domestic flights. Continental recently announced that holders of unrestricted awards -- for which you typically pay twice as many miles -- would no longer have rights to any available seat on all flights. Sponsored Content Finally, it used to be standard policy to earn a minimum of 500 frequent-flier miles even on short flights. Now, US Airways awards only the actual miles flown. Do discount airlines, such as Southwest and JetBlue, treat frequent fliers better? We have not seen a similar pattern of program devaluation among the low-cost carriers, but they've had bare-bones programs from the outset. They limit the ways you can earn miles, or what you can redeem them for. And miles expire sooner. Advertisement How else can travelers save? The majority of consumers earn their miles by using a credit card. If the card offers a hotel program, it can give airline programs a run for their money. While airline ticket prices have been flat for the past several years, due to competition from discount airlines, hotels have been steadily raising rates. Another attractive option is a card that offers a simple 1% cash rebate -- essentially equivalent to airline cards that let you earn one mile for every dollar. But with cash, you can buy a ticket with none of the hassle of redeeming miles. What should people do with the miles they've saved? You'd be surprised at how many people are hoarding miles with the idea that someday they'll retire and start redeeming the miles for exotic trips. That is a very risky approach. There's no reason to think that the ongoing devaluation of miles is a trend that is going to reverse. It's like holding a stock that's been losing value for the past five years -- irrational. Using miles sooner rather than later is called for.

Grab this book while you can before the price goes up to $2.99. This book is Hannah's story who was first introduced in LOVE BY SECRETS. Find out if Hannah's finds her own Happily Ever After!
Miss Hannah Richardson is enjoying a Season in London. She's not looking for a husband, at least not this Season. She wants to enjoy herself before settling down to married life. All that changes, however, when she sees the Duke of Wetherby. He's tall, dark and impossibly handsome and someone Hannah wants to get to know better.
Camden Darkin, the Duke of Wetherby, is not fond of attending soirees, dinners or balls, but his latest mission for the Crown demands he mingle with the ton. He has vowed not to marry because of his dangerous work and the constant bevy of beauties anxious mothers throw into his path is not tempting him in the least. That is, until he meets Hannah Richardson, a young woman unlike any other he's ever met. Can he learn to love or will his hardened heart rob him of the very thing he needs the most.
The book will be live on August 11. Amazon pre-order link:
Camden descended the stairs leading into the garden and kept to the shadows as he moved closer to the couple. He had to make sure that Charles was safe. Just as he was about to turn the corner and spy on them, a sound alerted him that he was not alone in stalking Charles and Lady Sargent. He turned, ready to defend himself and Charles, if necessary, only to be confronted by Miss Richardson. What was she doing in the garden? She could easily foil the opportunity for Charles to get answers from Lady Sargent. He did the only thing he could think of.
He pulled the delectable Miss Richardson into his arms.
Her eyes flashed and she opened her mouth to protest, but before she uttered a sound, his lips captured hers. The kiss was hard and demanding, and when he teased his tongue across her lips, they parted, inviting him in.
He deepened the kiss, and his tongue swept over hers as he explored every inch of her exquisite mouth. He wanted to keep on kissing her all night, but he heard Charles and Lady Sargent whispering as they headed back into the parlor. He reluctantly broke the kiss and set Hannah back on her feet.
She stood dazed, staring at him while she got her bearings back. He was about to apologize for his impetuous kiss when she slapped him hard across the face. "How dare you?" she choked out. "You wicked man."
Camden rubbed the sting on his cheek. "That's quite the slap; certainly not something I'm used to. My apologies, Miss Richardson, but tell me this—if you didn't want me to kiss you, why did you follow me into the garden?"
Hannah's entire being was burning with indignation, her cheeks a flaming red and her lips swollen from his kiss. She was irresistible. He wanted to kiss her again, but did not relish the idea of another slap. He waited for her answer, but none was forthcoming.
"Just as I thought. You crave wickedness and wanted me to kiss you. Perhaps it would be prudent for you to return to the other guests now. Unless, of course, you'd like me to kiss you again? Is that why you're still out here in the garden?"
Age of Innocence series:
Eighteen-year-old Emily Stanton is excited to attend this Season's balls and begin her search for a husband. She is thrilled when the dashing and handsome Connor Preston begins to court her. After each ball, Emily finds a love note in her drawstring reticule, and she expects a marriage proposal from Connor any day.

Oh and I suppose you haven't spilt anything in your workspace lately? Well, suppose you hadn't; I'm paralyzed with fear. I haven't a clue as to how I'm going to remove the cromson stains from my beautiful oak wood natural finish desk.
It's not as though Iactually have any work to do, but let's just say that I were to become employed, this would cause me to find my mind occupied with things other than smudgy painting; then what would I post blogs about, hmmm?
The truth is I was thinking about a blog I once followed (again while I was supposed to be doing something more "creative") which has always inspired me to write and post blogs about myself. That particular person lived in Hawaii, and was quite the inspiration to random obsession.

Lou Reed (2 March 1942 – 27 October 2013) was a brilliant American artist/ poet/ musician/ guitarist/ singer/ songwriter who documented our times in his music with passion, integrity and humour. He was lead singer and guitarist with the Velvet Underground before launching a prolific and highly influential solo career that spanned more than 40 years. The Velvet Underground was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996; Reed was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist on 15 April 2015.
Transformer (1972) was a ground breaking album produced by David Bowie. The stunning album cover, designed by Ernie Thormahlen, featured a brilliant photograph by Mick Rock.
I designed this sweater vest in tribute to both Lou and the album cover. When Lou Reed first came to Australia in 1974, a woman who had bought the sweater wore it to his first press conference in Sydney. Lou sent her to find me with the message: I've decided not to sue and would like to order 20. It was the beginning of a great adventure.
Out of stock
Available as a custom order as a vest or a long sleeved sweater.

Augmented reality's latest trick? Simplifying directions on Google Maps
Google Maps keeps growing up. Already one of the most popular tools on anyone's smartphone, the navigation app has successfully mapped 220 countries, and helped 1 billion users find their way around. Recently, Google has begun automatically adding new businesses, addresses, and places of interest, and is now giving users information about whether or not their favorite local haunts are open, and how long the wait time might be. But at Google I/O, the company gave us a sneak peek at what is to come from Google Maps, and no matter how nonexistent your sense of direction might be, Google can help.
Perhaps the most useful new feature Google announced at its conference is something the company is calling VPS, or visual positioning system. Rather than asking users to rely on that little blue dot on their screen to help orient themselves, Google is instead leveraging your smartphone camera to help you determine exactly where you are. In the not-so-distant future, once you're in Google Maps, you should be able to point your camera at a street or at a building, and not only be told exactly what you're looking at, but which way to turn in order to reach your final destination. That means your days of walking half a block in one direction before turning around and walking the other way could soon be behind you.
This new feature combines computer vision with street view, and may also incorporate some fun augmented reality — for example, Google is toying with the idea of adding a friendly animal guide to lead you to your point of interest.
And it's not just navigation that Maps is improving. Rather, the app is becoming an increasingly social experience. You will soon find a new tab in Google Maps called "For You" that is designed to tell you what you need to know about the places you care about. When a new business opens in your area, you'll be notified, and also receive a recommendation as to whether or not you might enjoy the experience. Google is not only offering a list of trending destinations in a community but is also debuting a new feature called Match Score. This, the company says, helps you differentiate among all those four-star rated restaurants and pick the one you are most likely to enjoy.
"We use machine learning to generate this number, based on a few factors: What we know about a business, the food and drink preferences you've selected in Google Maps, places you've been to, and whether you've rated a restaurant or added it to a list," Google explains in a blog post. "Your matches change as your own tastes and preferences evolve over time — it's like your own expert sidekick, helping you quickly assess your options and confidently make a decision." Simply tap on a destination within Maps to see its score.
You can also better plan group activities within maps with the new Shortlist function. Just long-press on a place you're interested in visiting with your friends in order to add it to a shareable shortlist. When you're ready to send it off to your friends and family members, recipients can either vote on their favorites or add more choices to the mix. And of course, once a decision has been made, you can use Google Maps to secure a reservation and book a ride.
The latest update to Google Maps isn't quite as high tech, but it's still quite nifty. If you're running the app on your iPhone, you now have the option of replacing that boring old blue arrow with the icon of a car. "Depending on your mood, you can swap out the classic blue navigation arrow for a new icon—a stylish sedan, a timeless pickup truck, or a speedy SUV," Google noted in a blog post. "Get started by tapping on the arrow while in driving navigation mode to select your vehicle of choice, and hit the road with a brand-new car, so you can have that new car feeling without the down payment."
The rest of the aforementioned features should begin rolling out globally on both Android and iOS in the coming months.
Updated on May 22: Google Maps now lets you navigate using a car icon instead of an arrow.

Blood-Glucose Monitoring in Cornelius, NC
For people living with diabetes , doctors may recommend some form of self-testing for their blood sugar levels. Monitoring is done with a portable electronic device that measures the amount of sugar in a tiny drop of blood, usually taken from the fingertip. The results of this test are then reviewed with the doctor during routine office visits.
If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, and would like to learn more about blood-glucose monitoring, please call (704) 658-0286 or contact Integrative and Functional Medicine online.
What is Blood-Glucose Monitoring?
Not everyone with diabetes needs to self-monitor their condition, but your doctor may recommend a glucose monitoring device if you are:
- Pregnant
- Taking insulin injections
- Having trouble controlling your blood sugar levels
- Experiencing low blood glucose levels
- Experiencing low blood glucose levels without any of the typical warning signs
- Building up ketones in your body due to high blood glucose levels
Self blood-glucose tests are also an effective tool in monitoring treatment plans, and identifying when your blood sugar levels are too high or too low. Your doctor may instruct you to test yourself after you eat or exercise, or if you become ill.
What is a Normal Blood-Glucose Range?
When monitoring your blood-glucose levels, it is important to know what your target range is. These numbers indicate the highest and lowest levels your blood sugar should reach. Your doctor will help you determine your specific target range. A number of factors may contribute to what these numbers are:
- The type of diabetes you have
- How long you've had diabetes
- Your age
- Whether or not you're pregnant
- Your current health status including fitness level, diet habits, and other medical conditions
What Happens During Your Appointment
If your doctor determines that it is best for you to self-monitor your blood-glucose levels, they will help you choose the right home monitoring device, and teach you how to use it. There are also non-invasive blood glucose monitors and continuous blood glucose monitoring systems.
Your doctor may also advise you to keep a blood test log which can be reviewed on future office visits. This log should record:
- Date
- Time
- Test results
- Medication and dosage
- Diet and exercise information
You can keep the log in a journal, or you can download one from the American Diabetes Association's website.
Control Your Diabetes
Self-monitoring is an effective way to keep track of your diabetes treatment, while alerting you immediately if your levels become too high or too low. If you would like to learn more about home self-monitoring, or if you have diabetes and are not currently using a blood-sugar monitoring device, please call (704) 658-0286 or contact Integrative and Functional Medicine online.

If there is a limit to Greg Hardman's enthusiasm
for the newly opened Moerlein Lager House and the Cincinnati beer brands
it touts, he hasn't found it.
The managing partner of the two-story bar and
restaurant, located just west of Great American Ball Park in a new city
park, spoke about it just days after it opened. A multi-tasker, Hardman
was getting fitted for a 19th century beer baron costume in preparation
for marching in the annual Bockfest parade.
"You stick the Moerlein Lager House anywhere in
Cincinnati, and it's awesome. You stick it in Smale Riverfront Park, and
it becomes world class," he says.
Just in time for baseball season, the Lager House
has opened to enthusiastic crowds who have bought into the
establishment's blending of Cincinnati's venerable beer brands and newer
craft beers as well as traditional and contemporary menu options. Six
styles of Moerlein beer are on tap year-round, and two seasonal brews
will be featured at any given time. Hudy 14-K, Hudy Delight, Hudepohl
Amber, Little Kings and Burger beers are also sold year-round.
Hardman, whose Christian Moerlein Brewing Company
owns more than 60 Cincinnati beer brands, plans to brew up batches of
some of those old recipes on a regular basis. The facility is operated
by the Cunningham Restaurant Group.
Avril-Bleh Metts, Of Course
Avril-Bleh & Sons, the iconic downtown butcher
shop, provides their homemade brats, metts and other sausages for a
tried and true complement to good beer, while a large menu of other
options includes cedar roasted salmon, beer can chicken melt, beef
stroganoff and a full array of appetizers.
"We're a craft brewer," Hardman says. "While we celebrate our past, we're all about brewing and food of the future."
Hardman and Tilsley & Associates Architects of
Mount Adams made the most of the location by including glass walls that
offer patrons sweeping views of the Roebling Suspension Bridge, the Ohio
River, and the Covington riverfront and skyline.
The architecture is thoroughly contemporary while
paying tribute to Cincinnati's brewing past. Sandstone walls are a paean
to the foundations of the city's historic breweries; exposed wood beams
connecting to steel girders are reminiscent of Cincinnati's industrial
brewing era; and bedrock stairs hearken back to 19th century beer
cellars in Over-the-Rhine breweries.
Ready for Fans
Hardman said the Lager House was designed to
accommodate surges of baseball and football crowds with temporary bars
and walls that can be removed to combine with the outdoor Hops Garden
and Grand Moerlein Beer Garden.
Marble-top bars and dining room seating are
surrounded by memorabilia including vintage Christian Moerlein
Barbarossa ads that declare the beer a "health food." The first-base bag
that Pete Rose touched to record his record-breaking 4,192nd hit is on
display in the lobby, just across from the brand-new onsite brewer. It's
visible through glass walls and open for free tours on Saturdays
beginning at 11 a.m.
"What sets us apart are the views, the fantastic
food, Cincinnati's brewing heritage, one of the prominent beers today in
the craft beer movement and location," Hardman says.
"It turned out beyond my wildest expectations." -

Radical Agenda EP315 – Tara McCarthy & Azzmador
We've got a packed show today. I'm going to start a bit early actually, just so we can get to everything. I'll start the show at 4:30pm US Eastern with Augustus Invictus, he'll be telling us about the anti Sharia protests that took place across the country over the weekend.
From there, it's time to talk about chicks, man. My piece about Women in Radical Movements has people talking. Tara McCarthy of Reality Calls is one of those people, and she joins us for the first full hour to discuss women in politics.
To briefly reiterate, I had expressed a degree of suspicion toward women who involve themselves in politics, particularly in radical movements, and more so in right wing circles. I see statecraft as a masculine thing due largely to its violent nature, and to me feminine influence thusly seems out of place and suspicious.
I of course recognize there are reasonable exceptions to this, but there are reasons the Democratic Party and leftists more generally hold themselves up as the defenders of women. There is no such thing as a right wing (or libertarian) feminist. Opposing the leftist onslaught necessitates embrace of inequality, and only a communist would deny that men are the dominant half of the hard coded gender binary. Perhaps leftism appeals to feminine instincts. Perhaps our rivals promote the elevation of women into power because estrogen poses less of a threat than testosterone. Perhaps women are just more easily fooled. Whatever the cause, those of us on the right know from voting patterns and other demographics, that we would all be a lot better off if women were not permitted access to the voting booth. Chief amongst the beneficiaries of ending women's suffrage would be women themselves of course, since their support of left wing policies is resulting in their own misery, degradation, and even rape and murder.
In thinking of my "suspicion" of women in politics, I was reminded of Nick Land's "The Dark Enlightenment". In it, he discusses privatizing the State apparatus into something he refers to as gov-corp. He suggests that with the state entity being the property of its shareholders and absent democratic control, nobody would need to take any interest in politics, and to do so would "exhibit semi-criminal proclivities." This makes sense to me, and feeds into my broader suspicion of democracy. Whatever flaws there may be in the political behaviors of women, the same can be said of men in large part, especially if we do not exclude non-whites and non-land-owners.
Most people are not suited to statecraft, male or female, black or white. It is infinitely complex. Whatever form any future government may take, the broad overreaches of the modern State are sure to influence its policies, and so rulers will have broad and destructive powers. Individually it is almost too obvious to need stating that a white male Antifa degenerate will have a worse influence on politics than a conservative white woman. However, by dealing in demographics one can broadly eliminate political problems through racial and sexual discrimination, freeing up energy to detect and handle internal threats posed by poorly behaved white males.
Tara's recent commentary on Women In The Alt Right was refreshingly self aware. She explored the obvious marketing phenomenon of attractive women gaining otherwise unearned attention in media, as well as gender dimorphism and the gender roles it carries. She differentiated between participating in discussions, and showing up at demonstrations where potential for violent conflict exists. Suggesting that women who attend such things perhaps ought to be dissuaded from doing so by their fathers and husbands.
At first glance, she seems like a notable exception to my suspicions, though it is noteworthy that she mentioned a fiance and it would in hindsight have been wise for me to differentiate between single and taken women in my earlier commentary. I look forward to our discussion.
In the second hour, we'll be joined by Azzmador. He's a Daily Stormer contributor, and YouTuber who recently found himself in a standoff with Oath Cucks (formerly known as Oath Keepers) in Texas. You might recall me talking about Daily Stormer trying to egg the blacks on into renaming the City of Houston. It looks like the blacks were smart enough to stay out of the trap, but the Oath Cucks fell right into it. They even allowed an illegal immigrant to assault one of the Stormfront guys.
All this and more, plus your calls at 747-234-2254 or RadicalAgenda on Skype.
So join us, this and every Monday, as well as Wednesdays and Fridays, usually from 5-7pm Eastern, but starting today at 4:30pm, for another exciting episode of the Radical Agenda. It's a show about common sense extremism where we talk about radical, crazy, off the wall things like putting people in their place.

Wild Turkey Forgiven Whiskey
Other American Whiskey
Out of stock
Flat $9.99 or $14.99. Free for DSS members over $95.
Following the end of the American Civil War, the Ripy Brothers returned to their native state of Kentucky and together, opened a distillery on the slopes of a hill in Lawrenceburg. The distillery operated continuously for nearly fifty years until the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the sale of alcohol in the United States, was ratified. Following the end of Prohibition, the Ripy Brothers Distillery was reopened and a distillery executive named Thomas McCarthy took samples of maturing whiskey from the distillery on a turkey hunt with a group of friends. The next year, his friends asked him to bring "some of that wild turkey whiskey" on their next hunt, giving birth to the distillery's new name.
Today, Wild Turkey Distillery is stewarded by Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell (together, the pair have over 90 years of experience producing bourbon). "I was born and raised in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky," says Jimmy, "which was a small community when I was growing up, but there were four bourbon distilleries here, and you had families working all the distilleries. You wanted to get in the business. My grandfather and my father, me, and now my son, we've all been in the business."
Wild Turkey Forgiven Whiskey was created by accident when a distillery crew-member mistakenly mingled together a perfectly-matured, six-year old Wild Turkey Bourbon (78%) with a high-proof, four-year old Wild Turkey Rye (22%) (each had matured in American oak casks with a #4 char). After the mistake was made, Eddie Russell tasted the blend and quickly concluded that the exceptional whiskey should be brought to market, giving birth to Wild Turkey Forgiven. "I was mad when I first discovered our crew's mistake," says Russell, "but once I tasted it, all was Forgiven."
Wild Turkey Forgiven has a bold and spicy aroma, with notes of cloves, oak, cinnamon and rye bread. "At Wild Turkey, we like the spicy note the rye gives you," says Russell. The aroma gives way to a more mellow flavor profile, with notes of caramel, creamy vanilla and toffee that lead to a finish accented by touches of pepper and whipped cream.

About captivate-generated video and accessibility
Captivate can be used to create animations or videos as FLASH files, from screen capture or by animating Powerpoint slides. It does a lot of the behind-the-scenes enhancements of FLASH. People making videos with Captivate should follow the guidelines for
Use the latest possible version of Captivate, as this will have more options for creating accessible videos. When starting the Captivate project, select 'enable accessibility'. Doing this adds functionality to increase accessibility. Follow the best practices for Captivate from Adobe.
Accessibility applies to more than just the Captivate end product
If you are making an instructional video, you should include accessible techniques. For example, if you are making a video showing people how to print out a file, show options for clicking the print icon for people who can see the icon, but also show the option of selecting File and then Print for people who may be using a screen reader.
The following guidelines are specific to Captivate, some sourced from the SSB Bart Group.
Making the purpose of your Captivate file clear
Describing the FLASH file
Fill in the Project name and Description. This will be read out by a screen reader when the FLASH file is in the page so the person will know what the file is about.
Slide Accessibility Text
Each slide can contain more text. This can be added by going to the slide properties, activating the Accessibility button and entering text in the text field. Don't repeat the text in the slide, or this will only double the content read out unnecessarily. Add more text if it will add more information. Certainly explain any graphics or images.
Closed Captioning for video with audio
Closed captioning can be added to all audio files. From the record audio dialog, closed caption text can be added under the Caption tab. The playback bar contains a CC button which allows the closed captioning to be displayed or hidden.
Operating Captivate in a webpage
Button Accessibility
Text buttons can be made accessible. The text that appears on-screen becomes the button's accessible name. To make the buttons keyboard accessible, the "Set Keystroke: Select Keys" button should be used and the keystroke of "enter" should be set in the object's properties dialog. Other shortcuts can be assigned but enter/space will then not work to activate the button after tabbing to it. The keystroke of "enter" can be assigned to multiple buttons and the button with focus will be activated when Enter is pressed.
Additional techniques
Keyboard shortcuts
Shortcut keystrokes can be assigned to click boxes and buttons. Use the "set keystroke: Select Keys" button to set the shortcut keystroke. Audio recordings can be associated with click boxes and thus authors can associate descriptive text to be announced when a shortcut keystroke is pressed to assist users with visual impairments.

The Bully & The Believer
Podcast: Play in new window
As a believer in Christ, the phrase, "I Can't" shouldn't exist. The Bible is full of feats that defy the words, "I Can't". You being where you are right now, defies the phrase, I Can't.
Watch The Bully And The Believer on Youtube
Our history is full of people who said I Can…and I Shall because defying the odds is a legacy we've been given.
- Gabby Douglas didn't say, "I Can't"
- Misty Copeland didn't say, "I Can't"
- Granville T. Woods didn't say, "I Can't"
- Lena Horne didn't say, "I Can't"
- Zora Neale Hurston didn't say, "I Can't"
I can't is shrinking language.
What's shrinking language you ask? Shrinking language consists of words that activate the inner bully in a believer. They are the things that you tell yourself or others so that you don't appear as great as you are in real life.
Soulphisticates don't shrink in the face of a challenge, we take giant steps towards it because we are committed to being great. So why do you use shrinking language?
You know when you look in the side mirror on a car and you see the message, "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" Your greatness in life, in love, in business, in your purpose, in your goals, in your parenting are closer than it appears but if you keep shrinking language in your vocabulary you will allow your inner bully to win and you will not achieve what you may have if you had just embraced your own greatness.
giant Steps
So your giant step today…designed to remove shrinking language from clear view is to know that …No matter what you said to yourself today to activate your doubt in yourself or your abilities, never doubt that God Almighty still loves you.
See that word?
The King of Kings
The Omniscient
The Alpha and Omega
All giant language….such the opposite of shrinking language — your abba loves you and you are made in his image. So if he's great…then you are, too and there is nothing that you can not conquer.
Need help saying I Can?

I'm in the midst of changing the distribution of my books. Instead of using Smashwords to deliver my books to Apple and Kobo, I'm uploading them directly to those stores. That means I'll have better control over pricing – being able to set it by territory, for example – faster uploads and changes, and also more timely reporting. The only downside is that the books will lose their existing reviews. 😦 On both of these portals, reviews don't transfer between editions of a book.
Some of my books have a lot of reviews (especially at Apple). I find reviews helpful when I'm trying to decide what to read next. So, my compromise is to publish the new editions through both portals but leave the old editions there for a while. I'm hoping that you (and others) will leave reviews on the new editions.
How will you know the difference between old and new editions? Well, you could look at the publisher name. The new editions will be published by Circe Books. (That's me!) I'm also updating the links here on the site as the new editions go live. Or you could look at the price. The new editions are cheaper than the ones that will be going away.

I've been fortunate to be in education long enough for many of my former students to graduate and invite me to grad parties. Each time I attend these grad parties I'm one of the few that loves to look at the scrapbooks and picture walls. These walk me down memory lane!
The other day I went to a grad party for a young lady. She was an outstanding student, but more importantly she's a high quality person. When she was in 5th grade school was a struggle. She didn't seem to fit in with her peer group, her health was very inconsistent and her strength was communicating with adults. Simply put she stressed about school.
Fifth grade was a positive one for her. Her attendance in 5th grade was her best of any year. One of my main goals each year was always to team build the first month and then return to team building periodically. This allowed for me to create a community in my classroom. I believe this community helped her grow with peers and develop friendships. I knew as the year went on that she looked up to me and she needed a lot of reassuring.
I worried about her after 5th grade concluded. I worried about her ability to relate and connect in middle school. I told her my door was always open. Throughout the next school year she came and visited my new 5th graders several times. I asked her about middle school and she always smirked and told me that she missed 5th grade. She told me that she was struggling with some of the girls in middle school. I tried to reassure her that she was a good person and that she should focus on the positives, but deep down I knew she was hurting.
As time went on she entered high school, she stopped in a few times and gave me updates and then she dropped a bombshell on me. She was leaving school to enroll in online courses. She was struggling with so many relationships and school was creating many of her emotional issues. I tried to shift my thinking. I told her I supported her decision and that I believed she would be successful. Deep down I worried about her socially.
We stayed in contact, but it was rare at best. Then out of the blue she invited me to her graduation party. I'll admit I didn't even think she was graduating. It's not that she wasn't bright enough, it's just that I didn't know how online graduation worked. As I walked up to her house she had a big smile and greeted me. We did the usual chit chat and then I went in to grab a bite and look at the pictures.
Then it happened. I started to think back to all the times in 5th grade. I remembered the conversations, the activities, her tears, her struggles, her visits after 5th grade. All these memories came pouring back. She and I had a nice relationship, she was a student that I'll never forget. I'll never forget her asking me for help with her peers. I'll never forget her sitting down and conferencing with me. I'll never forget her smile that told me she was hurting for acceptance. I tried my best with her, and as I sat looking at her pictures I knew she was going to be okay. She chose "her" route. She found "her" niche. She was going to take "her" strengths and be successful. I'm proud of her accomplishments. She opened my eyes to the possibilities of doing things differently. As I sit back and reflect, she is my inspiration to take risks, don't fear failure. The road may be bumpy, it may be difficult, but it may help shape who you really are.
In the end the lesson for me is another reminder that relationships make all the difference. As Rita Pierson so eloquently stated, "Kids don't learn from people they don't like!" I believe this. I formed a relationship with my students and this helped me get the most out of them.
As you take the summer to recharge I challenge you to take a walk down memory lane. Think of a student you significantly impacted. I bet you formed a strong relationship with that student. Do you still connect with the student? Do you wonder how the student is doing? Remember relationships are at the heart of what we do, I hope you can look back and say, I connected with "my" students.

($150, Elsapel)
Is it possible to covet something you already own? Guess so because I DO both love AND covet my laptop bag by Portland-based Elsapel. It's vegan, for you righteous babes out there, and it's like three... three... *THREE!!!* bags in one -- part computer bag, but easily big enough to a diaper/ baby bag OR, even a little weekender bag, if you're a light packer, which I'm not, nor will I ever be. But lately I've been carrying it with me when I travel and packing not just my not-small Acer laptop (sorry -- didn't mean to drop names of my extremely high-end electronics!) but also tons of magazines, books, cords and cables, and whatever else I couldn't shove into my overstuffed suitcase, because, again, I am a chronic overpacker. And, not only has the bag endured after shlepping it to L.A, Virginia, LaGuardia, JFK, AND on a cruise in the past few months alone, but it's also extremely light and easy to carry. I mean, if you used this as a baby bag, you could probably carry your baby in it. Advisable? Probably not, but what do I know? I only have a cat, and right now he's meowing, probably because he's hungry.
Anyway, also, PLEASE know about Elsapel's adorable Poppy collection for Spring '09! My favorite:
($99, Elsapel)
Check out the cool detailing on the side!
Currently, the Elsapel site isn't shoppable, but you can email the excellent, cool, and funny Amanda at email@example.com or call her at 800-736-1222 to order. Mention FashionBinge, and you get 20% off any of their Fall 2008 stuff! Seriously! How's THAT for customer service? (If ONLY my health insurance worked that way... not that I'm not thankful to have it, but those people are freaking rat bastards.)
ALSO, you can get the Tuskan rolling bag at ModCloth, on sale for just $90 -- and get 10% off when you use your "binge10" promo code -- that's SPECIAL for the 'Binge!
($90, Elsapel, ModCloth.com)
Also, Elsapel's sister brand, Ellington Leather, has some gorsh-wah, sophisticado leather bags and goods, AND they're on super-secret sale for FashionBinge readers! You get 5% off with promo code BINGE08 on anything on the site, including stuff like...
($179, Ellington Leather)
Beautemous in all of its iterations!
($126, Ellington Leather)
The modest Moroccan purse = also pretty!
($349, Ellington Leather)
Truly, the only rucksack you will ever need. And you DO need it.
