I have been rather busy over the last days, cutting and preparing charms for the Postage Stamp Quilt Challenge and Swap 2012. Sunday evening I had enough charms for the July swap and I even have some sets for the October swap.
You may remember I posted about the birthday quilt I'm making for my friend Johnny in Norway? It has been neglected for quite some time, but now I have to give it first priority. The 'birthday child' is landing here middle/end of August, so I have not more than 5 weeks to complete it! PANIC!!! :) So far, I have 18 blocks, but I think I need more...
When I was busy cutting the charms, I had enough time to churn out more ideas for Johnny's quilt. I came up with some 'Flying Geese' blocks and started working on them yesterday morning.
Chain piecing the 'geese'
Either he has had enough of being neglected or he knows whose quilt I'm working on... :)
Part of some 'Flying Geese' blocks...
Some days ago I finished this chocolate themed table runner
Close up. Those chocolate pieces look delicious, don't they?! :)
It's early morning, I've had a mug of hot cocoa (nesquick - the easy way!), so now I'm ready for more 'Flying Geese'.

Cameron slaps down Galloway
PMQs today :
12:35 – George Galloway stands, and the Commons erupts in hatred at the man who must be parliament's least popular MP. "Never here!" a Labour backbencher yells at him. "Who is he?" another yells. Galloway uses the word "adumbrate" in his question. He's talking about Mali and Syria. "Has the prime minister read Frankenstein?" Galloway asks. Cameron responds: "Wherever there is a brutal Arab dictator in the world, he'll have the support of the honourable gentleman."

Song written by Kate Bush. Originally released on her tenth studio album 50 Words For Snow in 2011.
Despite being released as a single from the album, it was never issued on any format other than digital download. However, promotional CD-singles exist and are changing hands at the collectors market.
Music video
There was a short (2 minutes and 24 seconds) animation to accompany a segment from 'Wild Man'. It was published on 16 November 2011 as part of the promotion of the album.
There are three versions of the song: the album version and a radio edit were released in 2011, whereas a version with 'remastered shimmer' appeared on the album The Art Of Peace: Songs For Tibet II in 2015.
Kate about 'Wild Man'
Well, the first verse of the song is just quickly going through some of the terms that the Yeti is known by and one of those names is the Kangchenjunga Demon. He's also known as Wild Man and Abominable Snowman. (...) I don't refer to the Yeti as a man in the song. But it is meant to be an empathetic view of a creature of great mystery really. And I suppose it's the idea really that mankind wants to grab hold of something [like the Yeti] and stick it in a cage or a box and make money out of it. And to go back to your question, I think we're very arrogant in our separation from the animal kingdom and generally as a species we are enormously arrogant and aggressive. Look at the way we treat the planet and animals and it's pretty terrible isn't it? (John Doran, 'A Demon In The Drift: Kate Bush Interviewed'. The Quietus, 2011)
Drums: Steve Gadd
Bass: John Giblin

Hidamari Sketch ×☆☆☆ #10 — Den of Lesbian Iniquity
March 11th, 2010
Yuno, you slut.
What? She flushes her key down the toilet and then spends most of the next week as a hobo, wandering from room to room, trading sex for lodging? Aren't there things she needs in her room? And nobody thought of (or could smell) the spoiling food? Also, I may have made up the part about trading sex, although one does have to wonder about Yuno's promiscuity when she's this eager to leap into bed and then stare into other people's faces a few inches away. Also, her door opens outward. You can see the hinges on the outside. Moreover, a messy closet is one thing, but taking the better part of a week to sort through it? And why were people more willing to just sleep with Yuno instead of find the key? It's just more evidence that the Hidamari apartments are actually a hotbed of lesbian sexual experimentations.
In any case, it was better than most of the last few episodes, and I'd call it one of the stronger episodes of this season, but like most of the rest, you can really feel the formula that Shaft has completely locked themselves into. That would be fine if they used it as a platform, but after the 10th time of seeing this exact same morning exercise routine and about the 23rd time of the ending bath, I can help by groan and fight off the urge to fast forward every time they start.
Melon bread, apparently…

Chemical Balance
Hemorrhoids Natural Remedy
One of the more common issues that people have when searching for a hemorrhoids natural remedy is that they often just find something to either rid the hemorrhoid itself or just something to rid the pain. The ultimate hemorrhoids natural remedy you really should be looking for is something that will do both.
You can have more than one hemorrhoids natural remedy in order to accomplish both immediate and long term relief from your problem. Consider perhaps, a topical application of sorts to relieve the immediate pain. Then also consider an herbal hemorrhoids natural remedy to alter your chemical balance and cure the ailment long term.
Think about, for one, the use of an essential oil named Cypress. Cypress is used to sooth the painful inflammation almost immediately upon contact. While this will help you to feel better almost instantly, it will not cure your problem. In fact, when it is wiped off, as it inevitably will be, you will be back at square one. At least, though, you will have something to take the edge off while you wait for your second hemorrhoids natural remedy to kick in.
I would suggest taking a strong and potent mixture of herbs that is designed to attack not just one, but the many contributing factors to your situation. I have a blend of potent natural herbs that come together to form a powerful hemorrhoids natural remedy for you. I combine ingredients that focus on reducing vein pressure, improve blood circulation, aid in ability to remove waste materials from your body and even provide anti-inflammatory properties as well.

Golden Theatre
252 West 45th St. between Broadway & Eighth Ave.
Tuesday - Sunday through January 27, $49 - $149
Elaine May gives a career-topping performance as an octogenarian suffering from dementia in the Broadway debut of Kenneth Lonergan's Pulitzer Prize finalist, the sensitive, bittersweet memory play The Waverly Gallery. Running through January 27 at the Golden Theatre — the same venue where May and her longtime comedy partner, Mike Nichols, staged An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May in October 1960 — The Waverly Gallery takes place between 1989 and 1991 in a small, inconsequential Greenwich Village art gallery operated by eighty-five-year-old Gladys Green (May) and the Upper West Side apartment where Green's daughter, Ellen Fine (Joan Allen), lives with her second husband, Howard Fine (David Cromer), and their dog. Ellen's son, Daniel Reed (Lucas Hedges), often comes over for dinner, along with Gladys. "I want to tell you what happened to my grandmother, Gladys Green, near the end of her life," Daniel tells the audience early on in the first of a series of direct addresses looking back at the past. "I lived in her building — where I still live — in Greenwich Village, during the last couple of years when she was there. . . . For twenty-eight years she ran a tiny gallery on Waverly Place, around the corner from where we lived. And without being too depressing about it, she didn't always have the best stuff in there. But some of it was pretty good. . . . It's not that I didn't like her. I did. It's just that once you went in there, it was kind of tough getting out again. So I was pretty stingy with the visits."
One day a somewhat egotistical artist from Massachusetts, Don Bowman (Michael Cera), walks into the gallery, which is connected to a hotel undergoing renovations, with his portfolio, and Gladys decides not only to give him a show but also to let him sleep in the back room, as he claims to have no money. Ellen, who becomes easily exasperated with her mother, and Howard, who practically yells at Gladys when he talks to her, thinking she is deafer than she is, are suspicious of Don's motives as he insinuates himself into Gladys's life. But when the hotel owner tells the family that he is taking back the gallery to turn it into a breakfast café, Ellen, Howard, and Daniel have to figure out a way to tell Gladys, whose Alzheimer's is getting worse.
The play opens with Gladys saying, "I never knew anything was the matter." Although she was specifically referring to Ellen's first marriage falling apart, she could just as well be talking about her own life. Her memory lapses, hearing problems, and inability to truly understand what is going on around her are harrowing to watch, yet Lonergan, the writer-director of such award-winning films as You Can Count on Me and Manchester by the Sea and such hit plays as This Is Our Youth and Lobby Hero, injects plenty of humor into the strife. "We're liberal Upper West Side atheistic Jewish intellectuals — and we really like German choral music," Daniel tells Don. A dinner scene in which Ellen and Howard futz with Gladys's hearing aid has a slapstick touch. And Gladys's forgetfulness can be charming and funny — until it's not. The eighty-six-year-old May, a National Medal of Arts winner who wrote, directed, and starred in A New Leaf and worked with the likes of Nichols, Warren Beatty, and Neil Simon in such films as The Birdcage, The Heartbreak Kid, and, yes, Ishtar, imbues Gladys with such honesty and sincerity that it's heart-wrenching watching her decline.
In her first Broadway show, Drama Desk- and Obie-winning director Lila Neugebauer, who is building an impressive résumé with such works as Edward Albee's At Home at the Zoo, Annie Baker's The Antipodes, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's Everybody, and Sarah DeLappe's The Wolves, superbly balances the humor and heartbreak, never letting melodrama take over and instead including numerous moments in which the audience feels appropriately uncomfortable going from laughing to tearing up as David Zinn's sets alternate between New York City apartments to the quaint belowground art gallery. Grammy winner and Oscar nominee May, Tony winner and Emmy and Oscar nominee Allen (Burn This, The Contender), Tony-winning actor and director Cromer (The Band's Visit, Tribes), Oscar nominee Hedges (Manchester by the Sea, Yen), and Tony nominee Cera (Arrested Development, Juno), in his third consecutive Lonergan play on Broadway, form a stellar ensemble, capturing the essence of an extended family facing a tragic situation. (The 1999 original cast featured a widely hailed Eileen Heckart as Gladys, Maureen Anderman as Ellen, Mark Blum as Howard, Josh Hamilton as Daniel, and Anthony Arkin as Don; Anderman is now May's understudy on Broadway.) "Honey? Do you think the Village has changed much in the last five years?" Gladys asks Daniel, who responds, "Yes! It's been changing for a lot longer than that!" But what hasn't changed nearly enough is the brutal impact of Alzheimer's disease on sufferers and their families, so aptly on display in this perceptive and humane production.

Album of the Week – 'Paint the Town' by Hot Potato Band
'Paint the Town' by Hot Potato (HPB) Band is Eastside Radio's album of the Week.
The band's debut release lets listeners take home a piece of their signature Big Band party anthems that have set alight stages across Australia including Woodford Folk, Festival Of The Sun and more. Breathing new life into the somewhat lost art, HPB are an Aussie gem. They live for the crowd, mixing together the most infectious rhythms across jazz, roots, pop and world music with a strong foundation in the heartland of Big Band, New Orleans.
Just as they strive to create as authentic a reaction from their audience, so to do they maintain a rawness in their music, much of which comes down to the band only using live instruments to create their lively soundscapes. This is a trait that has remained since the band's inception following band leader and percussionist Simon Ghali need to find an acoustic band for an unpowered wine festival. The artist's history of hand picking the nations best session musicians meant he had a little black book full of our finest talent and so assembled the powerhouse that is HPB. In 2014 they collectively introduced the vocal stylings of Sydney-sider Dylan Wright and the rest as they say is history.
As for the groups recording history, they've taken their time to build up to a full body of work. Their first single 'This Is How It Should Be' is the ultimate summer party anthem. This single served as the teaser to their self-titles debut EP; adding two more original tracks as well as their own take on some Aussie hits including Vance Joy's 'Riptide' and Nick Murphy's (formerly Chet Faker) 'Talk is Cheap'. Five tracks however was simply not enough for their devoted Aussie fanbase. The band, ever the crowd pleasers, exceedingly delivered.
Not only did they bring their a game with exciting horn lines and electrifying beats, they also took the opportunity to tell their story across eight tracks. 'Believe In Yourself' and 'Reach' being the most obvious, inspires listeners to chase after their passions as they have done so proudly and independently since their inception. 'Stolen' challenges our perceptions of the Australian identity following stories gathered across their relentless touring of Australia highlighting the scars of the still broken relationship between the Indigenous elders of this land and their Anglo counterparts. The band are still on their album tour and heading to a venue near you so be sure to take the time to see these tracks in their purest state, the live stage.

Oprah travels to Stephen Colbert's hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. While sipping sweet tea on the piazza of Stephen's in-laws' house, a place where he celebrated his wedding and spends Christmas with his family, Oprah discusses what makes Stephen one of the smartest, most creative thinkers in late-night television. The long-time host of Comedy Central's critically acclaimed "The Colbert Report," Stephen reveals the truth behind "truthiness," what went into creating his beloved TV alter ego and what he learned about comedy from Jon Stewart. Stephen, who rarely talks about his private life, shares what he's learned from his mother and opens up about losing his father and two brothers in a tragic plane crash. Oprah also talks to Stephen's wife, Evelyn, who calls Stephen's TV character an "idiot," but says the real Stephen is one of the funniest, most romantic guys around.
Oprah talks about her controversial 1997 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which at the time brought Oprah the most negative mail she had ever received. Through Ellen's story and others, Oprah shares what she knows for sure about the power of truth in our lives and how it can set you free. Plus, Oprah remembers one of her favorite "Aha!" moments in 'Oprah Show' history. She also revisits the story of Jeannette Walls, an entertainment reporter and Park Avenue socialite who revealed the surprising truth about her family in her best-selling memoir The Glass Castle"

Eckhart explains how the current global pandemic, which is a time of chaos and disruption, is an invitation to accept the present moment for what it is. Eckhart shares how he believes we can suffer less during the pandemic and how Covid-19 might lead us all to a new spiritual awakening.

He discusses why he believes the COVID-19 pandemic offers us an opportunity to lead a less hurried life. He shares why stillness is so important to our daily lives and explains how our country now has a chance to nurture what he calls its "inner self." Dr. Lightman also discusses his article "The Virus Is a Reminder of Something Lost Long Ago," published in The Atlantic.
In front of a live audience in Houston, Pastor Joel Osteen discusses how to dream big and pray bold. Oprah and Pastor Osteen ask, "What is the dream you hold for yourself?"

|The Bones of You - Debbie Howells
You know sometimes you read a book and just think everyone in life is so messed up. This is definitely one of those books.
Rosie, a local girl from the village goes missing. Kate, who has gotten to know Rosie recently through their mutual love of horses, thinks that there is something suspicious about the circumstances and promptly makes a start on trying to find out what has happened. As time passes, Kate's obsession with finding out the truth just grows and grows.
Kate befriends Rosie's family, and in doing so uncovers a plethora of family secrets which had been so well hidden. I found that this book really forced me to question the assumptions I'd made about some of the characters and there were some fairly satisfying plot twists which I'd not been expecting.
Creepy, yes. Dramatic, yes. But very compelling.

In light of problems with the Pulaski County Special School District, Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce members are supporting a petition to the Arkansas State Board of Education to operate open-enrollment public charter schools in the community.
The charter school would be operated in connection with the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Science and Arts (ASMSA) in Hot Springs or a stand-alone charter school focused on math, science, economics and the arts, or a combination of both.
A public meeting has been scheduled on the matter for 6 p.m. Aug. 17 at Jacksonville City Hall to assess the community's interest and explain the charter school concept.
The school's anticipated opening date would be August 2008.
Public charter schools are public schools of choice that operate with freedom from many of the regulations that apply to traditional public schools.
"We're proud of our commitment to education in this community in spite of the problems with PCSSD, and we are anxious to support a proposal which has the promise of helping our kids," chamber member Mike K. Wilson said.
Wilson spearheaded the proposal and has contacted Luke Gordy, the chairman of the board at the Hot Springs school.
In a letter to Gordy, Wilson writes: "Mayor Tommy Swaim, Jacksonville Education Foundation president Pat Bond, Chamber of Commerce leaders and others are thrilled at the possibility of locating an ASMSA charter school here, and we want your board to know there is broad public support in our city for such an effort, as well as the distinct probability of private financial support."
A proposed site for the charter school is the old Main Street Furniture location adjacent to the new Nixon Library site and across from First Arkansas Bank and Trust.
The Arkansas Charter School Resource Center of the University of Arkansas is providing assistance for the project.
According to the Arkansas Department of Education Web site, the freedoms given a charter school allow more flexibility to implement creative and innovative programs and policies but are held more accountable for student success.
Arkansas currently has 17 public charter schools operating under contracts detailing the school's mission, program, goals, students served, methods of assessment and ways to measure success.
An open-enrollment school is a public charter school run by a governmental entity, an institution of higher learning or a tax-exempt non-sectarian organization. They can also draw students from across district boundaries.
The groups that commonly operate public charter schools include parents, teachers and community leaders, public schools and private entities.
According to ADE, the benefits of public charter schools are: increases the opportunities for learning and access to quality education for all students; creates choice for parents and students within the public school system; provides a system of accountability for results in public education; encourages innovative teaching practices; creates new professional opportunities for teachers; encourages community and parent involvement in public education, and creates competition among public schools and thus simulates improvement.

TOP STORY >>Charter school hearing

I keep pinching myself to be sure I am not dreaming. But, amazingly, I am completely awake. And, Mei Li is not a dream. She is as real and as warm and as loving and as silly and as mischievous and as comical as any little girl could ever be. She is absolutely making herself "at home" in our family. The last 2 1/2 weeks since she has been with us in the U.S. have held almost "all" brand new experiences for her, and she is living life and loving every moment of every new experience she encounters. She has such a hunger for living!! And, after spending the last 4 years inside an orphanage, Mei Li expects to go in the car out into the world to explore every single day. I get the "steering wheel" gesture each morning no later than 10 o'clock. And, if I don't respond to her request in a timely fashion, she makes it quite clear that she is not pleased. The difficulty lies in the fact that I am also homeschooling Anna Grace this year. So, I have to tell Mei Li that we cannot "go" until I help AG with her school work. It is a 3-ring circus around here most days before noon. Mei Li is very action-packed. She doesn't sit still for very long. She is the busiest little person I've met in a while. She is not a tv-watcher. . . definitely not a couch potato. She will sit and listen to music for a long time. . . however, not quietly. No. . . not Mei Li. If there is music, then there shall be singing! And, speaking of music, this little girl LOVES to sit at the piano and play and sing her heart out! I caught one of her performances on video, and you can see it in the upper right corner of the blog. I have a strong suspicion that a musical future is in store for our Mei Li. She has an unusual love for music---it is almost like she "needs" it. It calms her and thrills her and she never tires of listening to it or of sitting at the piano and giving impromptu concerts. I am very excited to see what happens with our Mei Li and her love of music! We have already been blessed with Anna Grace who also loves music and is doing wonderfully with her piano lessons. Her piano teacher, Mama B, has already told us that Anna Grace holds great talent at the keys. And, for those of you who know me and my love for music. . . you know that makes mama very happy!!

As the holiday season comes to a close, it's time to think about what the most important thing is to do after you receive all of those lovely, thoughtful holiday presents...return them all. This week the sisters try to determine a set of rules for returning and re-gifting presents from the holidays and realize that Claire's is a never-ending, sacrificial pit of food-shaped earrings and fake glasses.

World-renowned chefs and food aficionados alike are smitten with chef Katie Button's "fantastic Spanish-by-way-of-the-South food" (Dana Cowin) and her faithful representation of "the spirit and conviviality of Spanish cooking" (Suzanne Goin) in the Asheville, North Carolina dining room of Cúrate. Now, the Food & Wine Best New Chef is poised to become more than a name oft on the lips of insiders, but the teacher of a unique blend of food cultures (Spanish and Southern) that values bringing families around the table while blanketing them with a richness of flavor and taste that promises to keep them there late into the night. With CÚRATE: Authentic Spanish Food from an American Kitchen (available October 11, 2016) — forewords by Ferran Adrià & José Andrés — Katie Button evangelizes a new cuisine and shares techniques and flavors learnt in the kitchens of both El Bulli and her Southern grandmother.
Katie Button debuts her first cookbook ever as a peek inside the kitchen of her award-winning restaurant, Cúrate. This cookbook will feature 125 recipes celebrating the vibrant flavors and broad appeal of Spanish food. Button brings the cuisine at Cúrate into the kitchen of every home cook, showing readers how to re-create classic Spanish dishes and adapt them using American seasonal ingredients. From cherished traditions like Tortilla Espanola and Chicken Paella to mouthwatering new favorites like Ham and Cheese Stuffed Fried Pork Chops and Ribeye Steak with Blue Cheese Sauce, to celebratory drinks and desserts like The Perfect Gin and Tonic and Almond Cake with Cream Sherry and Brandy—Cúrate brings Spain to you.
Executive Chef/Owner, Cúrate and Nightbell
Chef Katie Button was born in the South, raised in the North, and educated in Europe. Now, she has returned to her roots as chef and owner of two unique restaurant concepts in Asheville, North Carolina: Cúrate Tapas Bar and Nightbell.
Chef Button pursued science degrees in college and earned her master's in biomedical engineering in Paris, France. She then changed course and devoted her pursuits to the culinary field, working for José Andrés at his restaurants in the United States and then for Ferran Adrià at the world-renowned elBulli in Spain.
After meeting her husband Félix Meana, Chef Button moved to Asheville and created Heirloom Hospitality Group with Meana and her parents in 2011. Together, they opened Cúrate in 2011. The Spanish tapas restaurant received instant attention and accolades, from mentions in The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times to local awards and press.
Nightbell, the second venue for Button and Heirloom Hospitality Group, opened in 2014. Nightbell is an American small plate restaurant focusing on local Appalachian ingredients with a craft cocktail bar. Button's menu is a blend of comfort food and innovative twists on the classics, and her serious commitment to local farmers and sustainable products is evident.
Chef Button was a semi-finalist for the James Beard Rising Star Chef award from 2012-2014 and was a finalist in 2014, and also received a nomination for Best Chef Southeast in 2015. Chef Button was one of Food & Wine magazine's Best New Chefs of 2015 and hosted an international television series, The Best Chefs in the World.
Button remains dedicated to causes beyond solely culinary pursuits. Her dedication to an eco-friendly approach to restaurant ownership was recently lauded by Grist.org, and both her restaurants, Cúrate and Nightbell, are living wage certified and work with local companies and organizations to recycle, compost, and reduce food waste and environmental impact. Chef Button cooked at this year's Human Rights Campaign fundraiser in Washington, D.C., a Chef Action Network summit in Asheville, and works locally with Chefs at Welcome Table and Green Opportunities' Kitchen Ready Program. She has also attended the James Beard Foundation Boot Camp for Policy and Change, an educational program with Chefs Action Network for select chefs from across the country.
Chef Button is publishing her first cookbook in October 2016. The book, Cúrate: Authentic Spanish Food from an American Kitchen, celebrates the broad appeal of Spanish cooking and shows readers how to recreate and adapt classic dishes in the home kitchen using seasonal local ingredients.

Integrating Document Management and eCTD Publishing Systems
Most Tier I and Tier II sponsors maintain their submission documents in an electronic document management system (EDMS). It's obvious that software that creates electronic (or paper) submissions must work with the documents managed in the EDMS. But what is not so obvious is the optimal integration between an EDMS and a publishing tool.
EMEA Update on eCTD Implementation
Attending the DIA EU EDM Conference in December gave me a great opportunity to catch up on eCTD-related status and activities at various European agencies. We heard from a number of presenters representing EMEA (now just European Medicines Agency), the MEB, Swissmedic, and AGES PharmMed. Since the updates are fairly lengthy, today I'll cover EMEA, and will address the other agencies in a future posting. Tim Buxton gave the update from...

5 Things That Happen When You Stop to Wear Makeup on a Daily Basis
Have you ever tried to stop to wear makeup for a couple of days? A lot of the time, make up is applied not because the wearer actually wants to spend 20 to 45 minutes applying their makeup every day, and then topping it up throughout the day. They wear makeup daily because of social pressure. Having worked in the advertising industry, it was made apparent that how you looked and what you wore was just as important as your CV. Makeup is seen as

Side 129 - I say unto you, Swear not at all : neither by heaven ; for it is God's throne : nor by the earth ; for it is his footstool...
Side 131 - ... he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath- but also for conscience
Side 99 - For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid ; for he beareth not the sword in vain : for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Side 65 - For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Side 49 - These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Side 56 - Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without ; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Side 4 - But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you : but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Side 45 - He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Side 97 - Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth : who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously...
Side 82 - Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the orna-ment of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Do you subscribe to any newsletters for writers? I do, and I thought I'd share a few of the ones I'm currently enjoying.
• PW Tip Sheet. From Publishers Weekly, this e-newsletter includes topics ranging from the serious (picks of the week and Best Sellers) to the silly (weird things that librarians tell us people leave in books: bologna, paychecks, divorce papers). Sign up here.
• Signature. From Penguin Random House, this e-newsletter for readers (and thus writers) has as its tagline, "Making well-read sense of the world." Again, you never know what each issue will contain. A recent one featured eight words "that have fallen out of the public consciousness" (including "swivet" and "gruntle"), a man who has never read a book by a woman, and quotes about spring. Sign up here.
• Copyediting Weekly. This e-newsletter is probably most of interest to those of us who actually commit some copyediting every now and then, but the free newsletter is so full of great tips on such topics as vocabulary, lexicography, and style manuals that I would recommend it to any serious writer as well. Sign up here.
• The Writers Network News. Last but not least, the newsletter I enjoy the most happens to be one with no glitzy graphics and just simple, helpful information. Its editor, Bobbie Christmas, was a guest speaker at a Sisters in Crime Atlanta chapter meeting I attended a few years ago. I liked her immediately. A lot of people these days claim to be editors, and since I'm an editor myself, I have to check out the quality of someone's work before I can say I'm a believer. Bobbie, however, made lots of spot-on observations at that SINC meeting, and I have enjoyed reading her well-written and often humorous monthly newsletter. (At SINC, she also introduced me to a new word, "manuslips," that I use for some of the funny errors I've come across in manuscripts. I keep these in a folder on my desktop so I can enjoy a chuckle every now and then.) You can subscribe to her newsletter here.
