As expected, the General Assembly overrode Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of House Bill 56. As Lisa Sorg explained last month, the new law contains a hodgepodge of cynical and politically-motivated anti-environmental protection provisions masquerading as the opposite.
"House Bill 56 is the junk drawer of environmental laws. Buried beneath the assorted mundane provisions are three that harm the environment and one that pretends to protect the public health.
• repealing the plastic bag ban on the Outer Banks;
• allowing law enforcement to cut back riparian buffers to supposedly root out crime;
• relaxing regulations on landfills;
• and, in a late and controversial addition, appropriating $185,000 to the Cape Fear River public utility and $250,000 to UNC Wilmington to address the GenX contamination in the river and drinking water supplies downstream. It also requires DEQ to issue a notice of violation to Chemours, the company responsible for discharging GenX and other contaminants into the river, by Sept. 8 or provide a report to lawmakers explaining why it hasn't."
As Chris Fitzsimon explained yesterday, this charade of a bill is made even worse by the underhanded way in which it was birthed and made law:
"But that's what happens when it is about politics and ideology first, from secretly planned special sessions to gross distortion of the facts to convenient and situational born-again environmentalism.
Anything to win, to punish political opponents and deceive the people they are supposed to represent to mask the devastating effects of their ideological crusade.
That's the House and Senate these days and why it's so worrisome that they are coming back to town."
Not surprisingly, the override was approved on almost exclusively partisan lines with Republicans voting "yes" and Democrats "no." One happy exception to this rule, however, involved GOP Rep. Chuck McGrady of Henderson County. McGrady spoke and voted against the override and, in a discussion of language loosening regulation of solid waste disposal, used an extremely apt word to describe a "fact sheet" produced by the North Carolina Chamber defending the deregulation. As he debunked the contents of the Chamber document, McGrady called it "garbage."
Good for McGrady. Too bad he and others didn't loudly apply that description to the entire bill as it would have been completely accurate.

Sometimes family members feud.
Sometimes its irreparable (in the eyes of the participants.....I would always beg to differ, but that's another story).
Sometimes thoughts of mortality and money will lead a person to take action.
So they make a will....with one main purpose.....to make sure that " X " doesn't get anything. Sometimes there are related purposes, to make sure that " X " gets the message, or knows what he missed out on, but the theme is often the same......." X " gets nothing.
I've done a lot of wills like this. In these situations, one thing you don't want is a will contest in the future. Sometimes the main problem the will-maker has with " X " is "he's the kind of person who would contest a will". The solution to this is something we learned in law school, which students think would never come up, but in practice is does, it's called an "in terrorem clause". Sounds pretty cool.....here's how it works. You leave " X " enough of a bequest to make it interesting, and add a clause that says effectively "If after my death ' X ' takes ANY steps to contest this will, he will get ZERO". People who are so inclined seem to love this suggestion, but some real thought has to go into it. To make it effective, you actually have to leave " X " something in the Will. Clients in this situation will invariably say "So leave him $10"....but this is not the way to do it, because " X " would have nothing to lose. A better approach would be to leave " X " a bequest of say, $15,000 or $25,000, in a million dollar estate, and let him deal with it.
Sometimes people don't want to do an in terrorem clause, but they do want to leave " X " nothing, and they want to minimize " X "'s chances in a will contest. One thing I always do, if someone is being left out, is specifically refer to them. It can be as simple as "I intentionally make no provision in this Will for X, and this is not due to an oversight". Some people go further and say something more....."I leave X zero because he .....whatever." Another one I have had, more than once, is "I leave nothing to X, for reasons which are well known to him." I didn't like it, but the clients wanted it and I did it. I always wondered if X really knew the reasons.
If there are any potential issues regarding the will-makers competancy, steps must also be taken to ensure the Will will stand. This would include using the best witnesses possible, keeping the language of the will as simple as possible, keeping detailed notes, and making sure you can document that you (attorney/draftsman) met with the will-maker ALONE.
There are legal provisions for video-taping a Will, but I have never done it. It surely is done, but I suspect not that often, and I can see many reasons not to.
Why all the fuss about possible will contests? Consider this.....an attorney can take a will contest on a contingency fee. There are often high stakes, where the will beneficiaries may get nothing (or much less) if the Will gets tossed. When Will contest cases first appear in Court, the first thing the Judge will usually say is...."any way to work this out?"......and eventually, there usually is.

Something Special
Miss no-longer 4 (from now on I guess she's Miss 5) had a rather special birthday present earlier this year. She went on a special outing to the ballet with her grandma. The performance was put together especially for a young audience, and she had a great time.
I'd purchased The Blake Dress by Mingo & Grace during Black Friday sales last year, and had been looking for a special occasion to sew it up. So it was decided that she needed a new dress to wear to the ballet.
The original version that I fell in love with was made in neoprene (check it out here). My version was made using scuba knit, as it was easy to source at the local Spotlight, and I've heard is a tad easier to sew (it's sometimes referred to as an apparel version of neoprene).
I was pretty excited to be able to use use my new invisible zipper foot. I still had to press the coil open (was a bit to gentle doing this at one end and managed to catch the zipper), but it made inserting the zipper a lot easier.
The bodice isn't lined, but bound at the arms and neck. At first I tried to handstitch the binding at the armholes and neckline, catching only one layer of the fabric. But it really didn't look too good (I need to work on my handstitching evenness and patience), so I stitched the binding down with the machine. The hem was handstitched (the blind hem on the machine wasn't that blind in this fabric). Did I mention I need to work on my handstitching? It took a lot longer than I anticipated and I was literally securing the last stitch as the doorbell rang.
The binding fabric was rescued from the remnants bin at spotlight. While I was unpacking the bag, I held the scuba and the quilters cotton together, and found a beautiful match.
It was such lovely match that I decided to make a little bolero to go with the dress.
The pattern is the Ditty - part of Flosstyle's Jukebox collection. It was a quick little sew, and a good way to dip my toe into this amazing pattern - the options are just staggering.
I really love the idea of a cute little bolero to top off a dress. Even in summer we're surprised by cool night, or the random day of grey skies and rain. This is perfect for those times, when you just need something little to cover your shoulders.
The bolero is reversible. I had the perfect fabric picked out for the other side. But little girls have their own ideas on these things, and she was quite insistent that she choose her own fabric. It's hard let to her grow up and make her own decisions. But it's got to happen at some time.

Tucson is a start-up business located in the West end of Tucson Arizona. The company specializes in the repair and sales of home electronics, specifically home entertainment electronics, including TV, DVDs VCRs and CD players.
We will target people who place great importance in their entertainment equipment and own higher-end electronics, where repairing them would be more cost effective than replacing them. Many low end VCRs for example, are priced so low, people find it more cost effective and convenient to purchase a new product than to get the existing one repaired.
The company is owned and managed by James Munroe, a retired Navy Commander with a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Texas-Austin. He is a certified electronics technician with various brand companies. He will also employ his son to help with running and growing the business.
Tucson Electronics (TE) is a growth-oriented business. Its ten year goal is to become a regional leader in TV/VCR/home stereo repair, with shops in the Tucson and Phoenix area. With this in mind, the objectives over the next three years for Tucson Electronics are the following:
The mission of Tucson Electronics is to provide high quality, convenient and comprehensive TV/DVD/VCR and home electronics repair at a low cost. The most important aspect of our business is trust. It is the goal of our firm to have 100% customer satisfaction in regards to quality, friendliness and time to completion, and discover new ways to exceed the expectations of our customers while doing so at the lowest possible cost.
In the TV/VCR repair industry a company builds its client base one customer at a time and mostly through established marketing practices (ads, billboards, etc.). With this in mind, the keys to success for Tucson Electronics are:

Those Who Went Remain There Still by Cherie Priest
Those Who Went Remain There Still by Cherie Priest (Subterranean Press, 2008) follows in the noble tradition of the "thing" in the woods or cave that predates (in both senses, i.e. it's been there since before time began — storywise if not prehistory — and it eats unsuspecting passers-by or spelunkers — a snack on a rope for those waiting on the bottom of the cleft. These stories have a mythological base, but first began to emerge into the modern light of day through the work of Algernon Blackwood and other early horror writers. The idea is a simple one. When you can only catch glimpses of the "thing" through the trees or just outside the light cast by your torch or lamp, the vagueness allows the reader's mind to fill in the gaps with the features we find the most disturbing. Sometimes, this morphs into the variations on the idea of the Hollow Earth which has entire ecosystems underground, usually populated with hostile hominids waiting to engage in a little cross-species cannibalism. A good modern example of this phenomenon is The Descent by Jeff Long. Others go into Cosmic Horror in the Lovecraftian Mythos mode with a classic Weird West example being "The Valley of the Lost" by Robert E Howard where a demonic serpent sleeping in a Texan cave awakes and gives away a few secrets of the universe and, more recently, The Croning by Laird Barron in which the caves themselves are supernaturally linked to each other both on Earth and elsewhere.
Like Robert E Howard, Cherie Priest stays more on the supernatural than science fiction side of the line with her "thing" which first shows up when Daniel Boone leads a crew of men to blaze the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap in the Appalachian Mountains. As its inspiration, the story incorporates the inscription supposedly carved into a tree by the heroic Boone and now preserved for posterity in Washington County, Tennessee. Except, of course, this fictional version of Boone does not meet a bear. In fact, it's rather more in the spirit of Ithaqua as a nocturnal Wind-Walker, i.e. it flies. This makes it difficult to see in a night sky and difficult to fight because, once you fire off an old musket, the "thing" can swoop down and literally pick up the marksman in its claws before he can reload. Anyway, Boone and a young sidekick called Little Heaster finally manage to damage the "thing" sufficiently to get it on the ground and, when all the remaining men rally round, they think they have killed it and throw the body in a cave. Ah, little do they know, it takes a lot to kill "things" of this ilk and it later turns out this was a pregnant "thing" whose offspring adapt well to life in the cave system.
We now come forward from 1775 to 1899 and find two feuding clans living in the same area of Tennessee. They are all interrelated — cousins, for the most part — and, as is always the way in stories of this type, they prefer to shoot first and ask questions later. Out of self-preservation, they keep out of each other's way as much as possible. So when circumstances beyond their control dictate six men descend into the cave, three from each side of the feud are selected. That way, there will be no unfair advantage to either faction. They have an equal chance of finding the "treasure" and making it back to the surface. Needless to say, there's a considerable lack of credibility to all this. I suppose the "thing" as a Mummy needs to eat such a lot to keep her uterine flock in full health and vigor. But after being thrown into the cave, there are no local stories suggesting a predator is at work. Although our heroes find a big pile of bones, it's not at all clear where the food has come from. Except, of course, local people seem to have an odd habit of wandering off. Unfortunately, it's clear not all these folk end up dead in the cave. So it's baffling how these creatures survive for more than one-hundred years. You would think they would be flying out of the cave every night like bats and stripping the county of anything walking around with meat on the bones. That said, the actual delivery of the story manages the changing points of view well and there's a good pace to the twin narrative tracks. Since all supernatural fiction requires a suspension of disbelief, Those Who Went Remain There Still is one of the better examples of a "thing" story. It also covers both options by having sequences in the woods and in the cave. Finally, this is yet another particularly pleasing physical book from Subterranean with excellent internal illustrations from Mark Geyer. Overall, it's a very enjoyable read.

An Illinois homicide attorney can provide legal guidance if you are facing criminal charges. In order to be convicted of first degree murder, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant killed an individual without a lawful defense. There are three situations in which an individual can be convicted of first degree of murder.
The evidence by the prosecution must be sufficient to establish criminal liability that the defendant failed to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that is a gross deviation from what a reasonable person would do. If you have been charged with first degree murder, consult a Chicago attorney at Goldman & Associates for help with your case.
There are several defenses available to defend against first degree murder in Illinois.
Illinois is not a death penalty state. Therefore, a defendant may not be sentenced to death if they have been found guilty of first degree murder.
Punishment in a first degree murder case is determined at a sentencing hearing held at the request of the court.
At the hearing, the judge may hear evidence on aggravating and mitigating factors involved in the crime and determine a penalty dependent on those factors. The court will consider or instruct the jury to consider any aggravating and mitigating factors which are relevant to the imposition of the sentencing.
Mitigating factors may include, but are not limited to:
If you are facing criminal prosecution for any homicide-related crime or have been charged with first degree murder, Goldman & Associates can assist you in understanding and protecting your legal rights. Reach out to our attorneys today to discuss your case.

Fraunhofer IVV Information from April 2010
Energy and Resource Efficiency Improvement through Recycling of Abrasive Grains and Polyamide from Waste of the Abrasive Filament Production with the CreaSolv®-Process
Project Duration: 2009 until 2011
Project Execution Organization: German Environment Foundation - Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt DBU
Technical brushes are widely used in the manufacturing industry. These brushes, for example, are made from natural fibres, synthetic fibres (with and without abrasive grains) or metal filaments, and are used for deburring of components made from plastic, wood or metal.
They may also be used for surface treatment (e.g. rust and coating removal, polishing or treatment of the surface structure) or the cleaning of components.
In Germany alone, 800 tonnes of abrasive filaments are produced from a polyamide carrier material that is filled with abrasive grains made from silicium carbide, diamond or ceramic.
Driven by the customer specific cut of the filaments a yield loss of up to 160 tonnes annually has to be taken into account. The end-customers are then faced with similar yield losses and normally treat the used filaments as waste
Complete raw-material recycling of such waste volumes, at the place of production, would preserve immense resources and reduce the emission of more than 1.000 tonnes of the greenhouse gas CO2. To date recovery failed due to the lack of robust recycling technologies for very abrasive waste. Raw-materials of high value and quality - among others industrial diamonds with a value of several hundred Euros per kilogram - also end up in this waste.
With the CreaSolv®-Process (registered trademark of the CreaCycle GmbH) developed at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging, raw-material recycling will be possible. A polyamide filament matrix is dissolved in a solvent formulation followed by the separation of the abrasive grains from the polymer solution. The development and supply of the non-classified solvent formulation is the responsibility of the project partner CreaCycle GmbH.
The aim of the Research Project is the transfer of a proven laboratory scale process into a small technical scale process for the production of samples and technical brushes from recycled raw-materials. This will provide a basis for technical and financial product evaluation, as well as an economic evaluation of the process. The industrial implementation is foreseen at the manufacturing site of the project partner Hahl Filaments GmbH (Affiliate of the Lenzing AG).

Return to: Schools & Departments
Affiliation: School of Social & Cultural Studies
Degrees Offered: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science
Minor Offered: History
The discipline of history as it is practiced today, with its emphasis on meticulous research and dispassionate interpretation of the events of the past, has claimed a central role in the modern liberal arts curriculum since the Mid-nineteenth Century. Perhaps immodestly but justifiably, historians see themselves as the benefactors of as well as the debtors to virtually all the other liberal arts and sciences. The working historian draws continuously upon the content and methodologies of other disciplines, while contributing critical dimensions of depth and cosmopolitanism to other scholars' understandings of their own disciplines by recalling and illuminating the political, economic, and social contexts in which those disciplines and their subjects of study evolved.
At the undergraduate level, history serves much the same function. Historians do not predict the future, but they do help to explicate the present by focusing on the choices that individuals and societies have made as they faced the exigencies of the past; the "winning" choices that carried our human universe to where it is today as well as the "losing" choices – the roads not taken. The undergraduate should carry a familiarity with the history of his/her own and other societies to his/her study of the arts and sciences and to his/her role as a responsible, knowledgeable, active citizen of the cosmopolis.
Besides fostering tolerance, informed civic responsibility, and an attitude of celebration toward the social and aesthetic richness of cultural pluralism, the study of history should aid the undergraduate in developing skills of meticulous research, critical thinking, and lucid, graceful, effective expository writing.
The undergraduate who majors in history at Truman must gain familiarity with the history of the United States, Europe, and at least one other area of the world. All majors will fulfill three core requirements: a foundational course (Introduction to History and Historiography); a research-oriented course; and a senior seminar. In addition to these nine hours of required courses, majors will complete 24 hours of electives for a total of 33 hours.
The required one-semester course, Introduction to History and Historiography, acquaints students with the research methods underlying historical investigation, the different ways historians choose and investigate their subjects, and several of the major issues and debates in European and American history and in the history of other parts of the world. Students will develop skills vital to informed citizenship and effective leadership in a democracy.
The requirement that each major must take a research-oriented course, chosen from among the several to be offered each year, is designed to give students the opportunity to complete original historical research involving the use of primary source materials. Students will sharpen the fundamental skills of historical research to which they were introduced in Introduction to History and Historiography. They will identify a research problem, locate sources, evaluate their usefulness, and turn their research findings into a written analysis, structured according to the accepted practices of the American historical profession.
Each major is also required to take a senior seminar, chosen from among the several to be offered each year. The senior seminar is a capstone experience aimed at drawing on insights from the student's previous courses and applying those insights to the production of independent research and presentations.
In addition to the 9 hours of required courses, the major elects 24 hours of courses numbered 300 or above, distributed among the history of the United States, the history of Europe, and the history of other areas of the world (such as Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East). At least 6 hours of courses must be taken in each of these three areas, and 9 hours of courses must be taken in one of these areas. One elective must also be chosen in a period of history before the year 1750 (with no restriction as to area of the world chosen). This distribution of courses insures that the student has a broad grounding in world history.
Overall GPA of 3.00 or higher.
Earn a preponderance of As and no more than one C in history courses.
Applicants must submit a sample of their historical writing at least 15 pages in length (excluding notes and bibliography) that conforms to the Chicago Manual of Style, is free of grammatical errors, provides complete references for all primary and secondary sources, and is printed on a letter-quality printer.

A terrible hurricane stroke out in Novorossiysk on February 9, 2012 when the speed of wind constituted 40 meters a second. Buildings were shaking under the gusty wind. It seemed that the window glass would be broken soon and all employees were evacuated home. Walking in the streets was not allowed. Due to constant problems with electricity the pump at the boiler-house went wrong and the heating system failed to function.

Today, we're happy to debut the trailer for Apartment 212, a new horror thriller about a woman trying to start a new life without getting eaten alive in the process. Jennifer Conrad is a small-town girl headed to the big city after escaping an abusive relationship, but when she moves into an apartment complex full of colorful characters, Jennifer discovers a new set of challenges that come with her new life, including the mysterious welts spreading over her body every time she wakes up.
Previously titled "Gnaw", the film made the rounds through the genre festival circuit last year and scooped up a few awards along the way, including Best Horror Feature at Shriekfest, Best FX at Sin City and Best Feature at Other Worlds Austin.
Directed and co-written by Haylar Garcia (An American Terror), Apartment 212 stars Penelope Mitchell (Hemlock Grove), Sally Kirkland (Trash Fire), Chris Johnson (47 Meters Down), and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D fame (That's telekinesis, Kyle!). The film arrives in theaters, on VOD and Digital HD on March 16. Watch our exclusive trailer debut below.
Here's the official synopsis for Apartment 212:
"Jennifer Conrad is a small-town girl starting over in the big city. Fleeing an abusive relationship, all she wants is a chance to begin again. But it is hard to start over when something is eating you while you sleep…one painful bite at a time."

Photographer Joy Mckinney put together a photo series, The Guardian, which involved her invading people's personal space, in particular touching random people's faces. Coming from the South, Mckinney's parents constantly instilled in her that it was dangerous to speak to strangers. Although once she grew up, chose to become a photographer and started working in New York City she was forced to talk to several new acquaintances regarding various jobs and photo shoots, so she had to get over that habit real quick.
"Well my first instinct to do it was because I was raised as an only child and my family was extremely protective," said Mckinney. "I wanted to challenge myself and challenge my history by approaching people on the street and asking them to participate with me by photographing them and I would just place my hand on their face and see what happened." She chose to touch the face opposed to other parts of the body to signify an intimate yet quick encounter.
At first Mckinney was worried of the reaction she would receive from the people she approached to ask if they would be subjects in her photos series. Most of them were willing to participate in the project, although others were a little hesitant. Of the people who were willing to be photographed, they usually wanted to know more about what she was doing. She would explain it further by telling them it was an experiment where she wanted to connect with individuals in space and time. "I was extremely nervous because I had to go up to someone that I didn't know," said Mckinney. "As a photographer you usually photograph the subject from a distance where you don't have to approach them, so for me it was very challenging to walk up to the person."
Several of them wanted to see an example of what she was going to do before they allowed her to do it. However, in the process of piecing together the series she had nothing physical to present. She realized that many people have this perception of New York City being this place where people are anti-social and guarded, but the 74 strangers who allowed her to touch their faces pleasantly surprised her. Although, even though these individuals were exceptionally open to her, she realized there was still a slight hesitation present in their behavior.
"It changed my whole perception of New York City and about the way people respond to space," said Mckinney. "It's like they want to connect they just don't know how to anymore."
The main underlying message Mckinney was trying to convey with this photo series is that all people need to be more open to engaging in a variety of experiences. She believes the only way for society to move forward is to be exposed to other people's traditions and customs, so that we can all understand each other better to be able to function more effectively as a whole.
"The more we engage and the more we share with each other the more we can become connected," said Mckinney. "That was my ultimate goal. What I wanted to do with my photographic work was to explore how we can break through those social boundaries."

Today, we had fun painting with different items I found around the house — a rubber basting brush, empty toilet paper roll, loofah, and a regular paintbrush. Stella loved this! I offer paint pretty often, but she usually doesn't show much interest. If she does, it's only for a minute or so. She stayed engaged in this for much longer.
She was really interested in learning colors a month or so ago, picked it up pretty quickly, and has been spontaneously naming every color she sees since then. I gave her blue and yellow paint for this activity and she began noticing excitedly that it was turning green when she mixed them. It's really amazing what kids can learn all on their own when you let them lead.
Her "Little Helper Stand" is coming in so handy! She loves standing on it whenever we are in the kitchen. Whether she's playing, helping, or eating, it gets a lot of use!
A less messy painting option is watercolors. I wouldn't have thought to use watercolors with a young toddler, but my mom has been letting Stella play with them at her house and she seems to really enjoy it. I'm going to get some for her to use at home. My mom adds a couple of drops of water to the colors so Stella just has to dip the paintbrush in. Oh…and if you're picky about the watercolors getting mixed with different colors in the container…well…you might have to get over that first 🙂

London Zoo staff used airhorns in bid to save Sumatran tiger
Staff at London Zoo used airhorns and fire extinguishers in a desperate attempt to stop a male Sumatran tiger from killing his potential mate, park bosses have revealed.
Male tiger Asim had been brought to London Zoo from a Danish safari park recently in the hope he would be the "perfect mate" for Melati.
Everything seemed to go to plan initially, the zoo said.
Then, "in the blink of an eye, they turned on each other".
In an online post entitled 'Reflecting on a difficult day', Kathryn England, chief operating officer at the Regents' Park zoo, wrote: "Initially everything about their meeting was as we expected.
"Part of tigers' natural behaviour is territorial and aggressive, and they are strong and fast animals.
"In the blink of an eye, with no obvious provocation, they turned on each other and our years of experience told us it was beyond normal.
"Everyone sprang into action - lighting flares, sounding airhorns and setting off fire extinguishers and hoses.
"Unfortunately by the time Asim retreated the second time, Melati had been fatally injured."
Ms England paid tribute to the rare animal, and added: "[Melati] captivated everyone who worked with her; she was beautiful, majestic, spirited - and every inch a tiger."
The zoo announced Asim's arrival from Ree Park Safari in Denmark, on January 29. He was moved to the UK as part of a European-wide conservation breeding programme.


text: We, and the plants, all made it through this record breaking May heat wave! We worked outside Monday and Tuesday, sweating like crazy and drinking lots of water. The end of May is the busiest time on the farm so no matter that the temperatures are soaring into the 90's, there is tons of work to do. We harvested outside and in the hoophouses. We transplanted zucchini, sweet corn, melons and David spent a lot of time on the tractor planting many seeds. We wished we could have spent more time in the packing shed, but this week's work kept us outside for most of the days. Wednesday was a gift, with cooler temps and rain! We worked outside until the rains came and then harvested in the hoophouse. We knew everything outside was getting well watered. Oh yes, the mosquito population is a bit crazy this year, adding to the fun!

Title: The Stereotypical Freaks
Author: Howard Shapiro
Genre: YA Graphic Novel
Release Date: November, 2012
Genre: YA Graphic Novel
Release Date: November, 2012
Pages: 140
Goodreads Rating: 4.27 stars
My Rating: 3.5/5 stars
My Content Rating: PG
Summary from Goodreads: Four disparate high school seniors come together to compete in their school's battle of the bands. Sharing a love for playing rock and roll, the members name the band "The Stereotypical Freaks" because they feel stereotyped by their classmates - smart kid, geek, star athlete and quiet weirdo… when in fact they know they are much more than those labels that have been placed on them.
When one member reveals life altering news, winning the competition takes on more of a meaning to each member. Scared and angry, upset and yet still with a lot of resolve they set out to win one for the good guys… will they?
I won this book in a giveaway. When it arrived, I was intrigued and I couldn't help but immediately pick it up and check it out. The story pulled me in and it was a quick read, so it didn't take me long to finish it up!
The book follows Tom as he navigates the treachery of high school cliques. He ends up forming a band with the high school football star (who used to be his best friend when they were kids), a social outcast and a quiet exchange student and the band prepares to compete in the school's Battle of the Bands!
The negatives:
- A little too many teen issues stuffed into one book. I really enjoyed the story, but at times it felt like Shapiro was trying a little too hard to cover all of the "teen issue" bases and give us a happy ending for just about all of them. There was Tom and Mark - who used to be best friends until Mark decided Tom wasn't cool enough for him; then there was Dan, who felt abandoned by his dad after his parents divorced. Jacoby's story was the biggest and most poignant, but I don't really want to tell exactly what happens to him because it would be a bit of a spoiler - but his circumstances make all of the other characters re-evaluate what's important and try to solve the problems in their lives. Then, Shapiro threw in a few other references, just to make sure the book was really relevant to everyone - Mark has two moms, Tom is Jewish - both of which just felt a little contrived. Don't get me wrong, I think that these are all great issues to be explored, but it felt like a little much for this one small graphic novel.
What I Loved:
- Jacoby's storyline. The best thing about this book was definitely Jacoby and his storyline. It was truly poignant and tugged at my heart strings!
- Friendship. I loved the friendship that these boys forged, in spite of all their differences. They found something that they all loved - music - and it brought them together. Of course, the music didn't instantly solve their issues with each other - they had to figure out how to get past their misgivings about each other and work together, and it wasn't always easy.
- The message. The overall message of this book was incredibly positive. The guys learn a lot about life and about what is truly important (certainly not cliques and social status). It's a great message for teen readers (especially younger YA, who will probably respond most positively to the book - older YA readers might be a little jaded and think that the story is a little too optimistic).
- The music. I loved how every chapter of the book had suggested songs to go with it!

In the words of D.H. Lawrence, "This land resembles no other place. Sardinia is something else…like freedom itself." (Sea and Sardinia, 1921).
The same can be said of Sardinia today: untamed, unspoiled, and irresistibly seductive. Sardinia is as close to North Africa as it is to the Italian mainland, and stepping onto the island feels like entering an entirely different world. In fact, locals tend to think of themselves as Sardinians first, Italians second, and the island not only has its own language, but regional variations as well.
The interior of the island is mountainous and mostly uninhabited, with limestone caves, rugged woodland, and rolling hills. National parkland and wildlife reserves make up a quarter of the island, and Sardinia's coastline (which accounts for over a quarter of the entire Italian coast) could not be more idyllic, with soft white sand and green-blue water set against rocky outcrops. The exclusive Costa Smerelda ("Emerald Coast") boasts some of the most gorgeous beaches, as well as the island's main hub for nightlife and shopping.
Sardinia is also home to over 7,000 prehistoric sites dating from before 1,000 BC, including nuraghi, ancient stone edifices created by the Nuragic civilization that are entirely unique to Sardinia – and a somewhat mysterious feature of the Stone Age, as it's not clear what purpose they served.
Mysterious ancient relics, herds and herds of sheep, pristine wilderness and gorgeous beaches…Sardinia certainly is "something else." And a villa vacation on this fascinating island is the perfect way to see Sardinia's charms for yourself.
"My favorite restaurant in Sardinia is Fradis Minoris, located in Pula. It's set on a small inlet between the sea and a lagoon, so it feels like it's in the water, and the menu changes according to what's in season; the seafood is all caught by local fisherman and is as fresh as can be." ―Margherita, Managing Director, Italy Division
"You must also try, Mirto, a sweet liqueur native to Sardinia. It's served chilled at the end a your meal as a digestivo. It's hard to find in the U.S., so if you like it, bring a bottle or two back home with you." ―Saffo, Managing Director, Italy Division

Good-mannered Surprise Visits
One of my goddaughters came to our house recently. There was no occasion for the visit, she said she just wanted to hang around. I would have gladly received her, but her visit was unnanounced. Worst yet, it was an unholy hour for a ten-year old girl to come a long way from her house.
Her visit bothered me (and my chores). First of all, she came without adult supervision. Second, she did not knock at the door but tried to get in as if it was her own house. She had this rude sense of familiarity to others. Lastly, she had a little friend that was a complete stranger to me. They came without a purpose. All she did was talk a lot and poke around my unfinished projects. My mom guessed that she just wanted to brag her pretty godmother to her friend. My guess was that she just wanted to catch the attention of some people by bothering them. In the end, we shooed them away nicely.
It's good to have visitors in the house. But there has been this sense of over familiarity with others that we have lost courtesy to them. So, instead of being welcomed, visitors tend to become bothersome.
Maybe a few of my good-mannered lessons in life can keep one from being labeled as an unwelcomed guest:
1. Have a winsome purpose in dropping-by. Usually, an occassion (like a birthday or a wedding) is enough reason for visiting a friend or a relative. But if you are to ask for favors, please don't drop by again and again just to ask for a brush, a stereo, and to borrow money and borrow money again. What would touch the host's heart is that you would visit to just to see them because you love them.
One of my mother's former students has been a regular visitor at home. But he is always treated as a welcomed guest even if he would just see how she's doing or he would be simply asking for advice. He has never been a nuisance because he has always shown courtesy, which leads me to my second point.
2. Show courtesy. Knocking the host's door is one. Another would be giving your host a heads up by texting or calling them before arriving at their door. I'm not against surprise visits, but it would be an embarrassment for the guest when the host is not at home.
I also mentioned about familiarity. Please, don't poke around the house (and the fridge) as if it's your own. Only high-leveled, close buddies can do that. Try to be courteous by not touching anything (except for coffee table books and magazines) when you're in. If things in the host's house are interesting, you can talk about it. But if you find it irrisistably interesting, you should ask permission before you can touch (or poke) it.
3. Bring a little blessing to your host. My mom taught me to bring something whenever we visit a friend or a relative. You might think it will cost you much but doesn't necessarily be a smogasboard to please your host. I guarantee you that generosity can bring happiness. An old friend I gave surprise visits before was happy with the take-out meal or small pastries I gave her. Bringing something to the host can be an expression of love. Visitors should show their appreciation by giving a little something to their hosts.
The next time you give somebody a surprise visit, be sure to be called a welcomed guest. Although guests should be treated highly, the guest should also show their appreciation to the host by being well-mannered.

The Wii is showing great potential for physical and mental skills training. The nature of the Wii's controls plus the add-ons like Wii Fit's balance board mean its can be used to track and sense all sorts of movements and actions. Just to show the potential of the Wii, a grad student called Johnny Chung Lee has come up with a way to track your head movements. He's used this create a prototype virtual reality system which you can see in the video below (skip to 2:45 if you are not interested in the technical stuff).
Virtual reality may be great for games but from neurological training point of view its not that interesting. Its the other potential uses for the head tracker that interests me. A Wii head tracking combine with the balance board allows the Wii to track many of the movements used in the Dore system and other movement based approaches to dyslexia and ADHD. A computerised system will have an advantage over the traditional approaches as it can give feedback on how well the exercise is being done and control its difficulty to reflect the skills of the user.

Panini America has undergone some restructuring. On Friday, the company announced that it was appointing current employees Karvin Cheung (NHL), Ben Ecklar (NFL) and David Porter (NBA) to Product Development Director positions.
Panini says the new department structure will allow each director to focus on just one sport's releases and reiterates the company's commitment to the category. In the past, two Panini America Product Development Directors oversaw two sports each.
All three industry veterans will continue reporting to Martin Welling, Panini America's Vice President of Operations.
"Since I arrived at Panini America last December, my primary mission has been to push all of our trading card releases to new levels of excellence in terms of aesthetics and value," Welling said. "We've experienced great success in these areas so far and these new appointments will only help as we continue to raise the bar. In addition, these refined roles will aid us in our continued emphasis on meeting original ship dates."
As part of the restructuring, Keith Hower, Panini America's former Assistant Basketball Brand Manager, has been promoted to the role of Brand Manager.

Accurate, less fun menus coming
If you've travelled anywhere in Asia, you've probably found some amusingly inaccurate translations in restaurant menus.
The internet is full of pictures of restaurants offering the likes of 'good slag porridge,' 'crotch steamed dish,' 'explodes the large intestine,' and more. Thankfully, they're usually accompanied by a picture of the actual dish, which is much less alarming.
For most people this is a harmless source of amusement, but the South Korean government apparently doesn't agree. It's set up a task force dedicated to removing all embarrassing menu translations in the country.
South Korea's government believes that these mistranslations "not only confound foreigners but embarrass some Koreans."
The task force will set up a website listing the correct translations for South Korean dishes, giving restaurants something to refer to when putting together their menus.
So if you're desperate to order some 'chicken asshole house' you might need to act quickly.

Cost of Underpinning
The cost of underpinning is dependent on the size of the structure and the linear meters of walls to be shored up.
Common Types of Underpinning:
- Pier
- Continuous footing
- Grout injection
- Adjoining neighbours footing as your new footing is going below grade of the bottom of neighbours and by law you are responsible for ensuring no damage to neighbours property.
In a domestic house type scenario You would expect to pay approx $1000/ pier, about $1000 / lin meter of continuous concrete footing installed, about $500/lin meter for soil strengthening using grout injection under existing footing + GST. Establishment cost on site approx $1000+gst.

This reader, who gave only his name – Michael – is very confused and scared of his own feelings and urges. We publish the letter he sent in
I'm a 32-year-old single male teacher from a small community near Abuja. I really don't know what to do and if I should somehow to stop thinking those thoughts, or go see a doctor, or hand in myself to the police.
I have had few past relationships with girls my age, but they weren't satisfied with my being too involved in school work and, of course, in the small amount of money I get.
I'm teaching small children, both boys and girls, aged 10-12. I never feel any unhealthy urges towards them, I swear by God.
However, when I see my neighbor's 14-year-old daughter, I often start thinking improper thoughts about her. I feel attracted to her, both physically and emotionally. As I am on friendly terms with her parents, they trust me to help her in some school subjects. I don't allow myself to make any sexual references when we're alone in the room (her dad would often sit in the kitchen waiting for us to finish), but I also feel she's interested in me, too. She's so young and innocent, her sexuality has just started to blossom, of course she would be interested!
I feel so guilty for this. Should I change my place of residence? But I've grown fond of the kids I'm teaching, the accommodation is good… Or should I just wait until she comes of age and see if she wants a relationship with me? I'm too afraid and embarrassed to talk to our Pastor, or seek any medical help. Maybe someone with an unbiased opinion would give a suitable advice? Thank you.

On Sept. 6, 2007, a friend of this community, Mr. Edward "Eddie" Mejia, made the transformation from this existence into eternal life. Eddie's passing reminds me that a faithful friend is truly the medicine of life-a man of good quality-who gave me the confident knowledge that he could always be counted on.
Eddie lived a good life with his beloved wife, Gay, whose love and support sustained him. Eddie was a man who exemplified faithfulness-freely sharing what he had-asking nothing in return.
Eddie served many organizations, holding leadership positions, yet nothing meant more to Eddie than God, family, friends and community. Having worn our nation's military uniform, Eddie remained faithful to the men and women in our armed forces, honoring them whenever he could.
Eddie was unique among the men I've known, standing up for his friends, even if he stood alone. I will miss Eddie's friendship, but mostly, I'll miss his unflappable courage.
Truly, that which I loved most in Eddie is clearer in his absence. I thank God for my friend Eddie and for his efforts to make Robstown a better community.

Summer is here in our beautiful city of Vancouver. This is the time of year so many of us travel. Whether you are traveling locally or abroad, it is always important to think about your health and ways to stay healthy on your vacation. A few simple items packed into your suitcase can ensure you have the essentials to avoid getting sick on your holiday.
One of the biggest health concerns while travelling is infections. You may be in a country where your body is not used to the water or food and food-borne illnesses can ruin a great vacation! Here is my list of essential items I always pack as my travel medicine kit.
My first essential is probiotics. 70% of our immune system resides in our digestive system. Good bacteria, or probiotics, are very important to our digestive and immune health. This is our first defense against food borne illness as well as viral infections (by supporting our immune health). Start taking your probiotic at least 2 weeks before you leave and during your vacation.
My second essential is a natural botanical to treat mild bacterial infections. My favorite is oregano oil. This oil is a strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent. I prefer to take capsules of oregano oil as it easier to travel with and I do feel they work better. They deliver the oregano oil right down to the lower GI tract to keep infections away. I specifically like a product called ADP-Oregano by Biotics Research, an emulsified delayed release oregano oil tablet. This is an optimal delivery system.
My third essential is a natural first aid treatment. There are many options available including essential tea tree oil, aloe vera gel and arnica homeopathic. My favorite is colloidal silver first aid gel. The company I use is Argentyn 23. They have a great topical first aid gel that works very effectively against bug bites, cuts, wounds and itching after a bug bite. There are many great first aid treatments available at local health stores. I happen to really like the benefits I have seen of this particular first aid gel so I wanted to mention in this article.
Although natural therapies can work very effectively against minor problems, it is important to be prepared in case a more severe infection occurs. I do recommend carrying a topical antibiotic such as polysporin, an anti-histamine such as Benadryl, pain medications such as Tylenol or Advil, and a course of antibiotics in case of severe travelers diarrhea. You never know what you might contract while travelling and it is best to be prepared.
These are my essential for a travel kit. I would also suggest some immune supportive vitamins such as vitamin C or vitamin A, especially if you are travelling abroad and really want extra support for your immune system.
I also recommend an IV of vitamins and minerals that can work really well in boosting your energy, keeping your body healthy and hydrating you before a trip. Our Vitalia IV is a combination of vitamins and minerals administered intravenously that is specifically formulated for those travelling. Call us today to book your Vitalia IV before your trip.
Remember your Naturopathic Doctor can make specific recommendations for your travel kit based on your particular health history. Your ND can also prescribe general medications such as antibiotics. You do need to see a travel medicine doctor if you need vaccinations or antibiotics specifically for the area you are travelling to including Africa, Asia and India.
I hope you have found these travel tips helpful. I enjoy travelling and have found these key natural items to be very effective in keeping me healthy on my trip.
Enjoy summer and stay healthy!
Yours in health,
Dr Tasreen Alibhai, ND

Do you go to a stylist or cut your own hair?
Host of Apartment Gardening | Ashtanga Yoga | Literature | Migraine
I always go to a stylist for both cut and colour, I'm not brave enough to do it to myself.
All the best, Leia
Host of Gluten-Free Living | News | English Language
Recently, I have been cutting my hair myself. I'm sick of getting my hair chopped off by stylists after going in, only wanting a trim. I even tell them that I am trying to grow my hair out.
Now I watch youtube videos and cut my hair myself and sometimes have my boyfriend help. I made sure to buy nice hair cutting scissors. Now I am saving money and my poor hair.
I love my boyfriend but I could never trust him with a pair of scissors near my hair . I do spend so much money going to the hairdressers that I wish I could cut it myself.
I cut and dye my hair at a hairdresser about once every six month, but inbetween i cut my own hair. Right now i need to buy a new scissor and it is stressing me out that I can't cut it.
Right now I don't cut it at all, but before I just shaved it off at home. I wouldn't pay for a hairdresser, I don't think it's worth it tbh.
Vegan for them
I cut mine myself once a year. I have never been to a hairdresser in my entire life. When I was younger my mother cut it.
I sometimes feel I'd like to go to a hairdresser once jsut to get that experience. It seems nice to be a bit pampered
#6 I used to let my mother cut it (she was a hairdresser once) but then one day she cut it really really short and I hated it! I never let her touch my hair after that haha.
I also enjoy the head massage you get at the hairdressers and free cups of tea.
#7 Yeah, it sounds like it could be such a nice experience. Maybe I should treat myself to it once I decide to chop off my hair?
My mom cuts it. I dont trust hairdressers with my hair
When I cut it, I let a hairdresser do it. Since my hair is so important to me, I always want someone professional to handle it.
But I dye it at home, by myself or with a friends help, and have never been to the hairdresser to do that. Mostly because I would have to pay 191$ to get a haircut and one-tone dyeing. It would be 203$ if I'd also want highlights or maybe some sort of ombré.
Although it would be exciting to try dyeing it at the hairdresser, just because I'm so curious about the result. I'm pretty sure it would come out better than when I do it at home. I'm actually thinking of saving up some money to do this before the summer, or maybe in the fall.

#10 And I never let a hairdresser touch my hair, since my hair is so important to me
#11 I'm extremely picky when it comes to which hairdresser though. I have come home crying one too many times after being to a hairdresser that didn't fulfill my wishes/expectations... Worst feeling ever.

The Houser sisters are from Chapel Hill, N.C. and have been playing soccer since they were 6 years old, always playing on the same team but different positions. That way the Houser sisters didn't worry about being the 'better' twin, but just supporting each other to do better.
"Well soccer is more of a team sport, and we play different positions. So we didn't need to compete for starting positions," said Emma, "I play defense. Caroline plays forward, and we both want the other to do well. We are both competitive but it's more of a healthy competition because we want the other to do well."
When the time came to search for colleges the Housers looked individually, not wanting to base their decisions off of each other.
Usually colleges they looked at showed little interest in the possibility of having both girls on their team, according to Caroline. However, Coach Michelle Demko responded otherwise.
"It was more individual, but it just happened we both ended up here," said Emma, "Michelle wanted both of us and it was a good fit."
For Emma and Caroline, academics and the nature of the campus were important in the decision making. When it came to UNC Asheville, they both liked the class size that allowed them to meet their professors, and not just be another number. Both Emma and Caroline are majoring in management. The team and coach have become like family.
This fondness lead them to talking to another pair of players, the Snyder sisters, whom they helped recruit to UNC Asheville. Emma and Caroline knew Erika and Rachel from their club team that they played in before college.
Like the Houser sisters, Erika and Rachel Snyder based their decision on which school they wanted to attend individually, but found the Asheville was a good fit for both of them.
"I really like the campus," Rachel said.
"I like the class size and the mountains," Erika said.
The Snyder sisters have been playing soccer since they were 5 years old, and it is the only sport they've played. They are from Cary, N.C, and similar to Emma and Caroline, they play different positions. Rachel is a forward and Erika a defender. Both have won honors, with Rachel being named All State and All Region prior to Asheville. Erika came in as a strong defender with honors of 2015 All Academic team, All Conference, Honorable Mention and 2016 Coaches' Award. Each is clear to state they are their own person and player, and they'll quickly put their best foot forward.
Both the Housers and Snyders are mirror twins of each other, meaning one is left foot and the other right, though playing the other side can lead to a competitive advantage, according to Emma.
"Sometimes on the field it's fun because sometimes I play on Caroline's side, which is on the left, you can tell the person defending me and then defending Caroline gets confused because they are like 'Weren't you just over there?' and we are like 'No, we are twins!'"

I knew this would be a process, but geez! A week ago I had another dream. I have reconciliation dreams. Dreams where he comes back or he stays…or we are together. They are never beautiful. I always wake up with a feeling like "why can't I stop dreaming this nonsense". I'll do a better job of capturing the feeling next time.
Its like an annoying reminder that we could have pushed through, could have made it, but…he wasn't cut out for the struggle. And honestly, he wasn't built for me. I'm a fighter, I'm tenacious, I'm a handful of love and energy and adventure…! I have my flaws and they are the same things that make me beautifully fearless and unique and strong.
I just finished a sermon series on relationships and I'm taking away a newfound appreciation for my singleness. (Its great for EVERYONE- single, married, divorced, dating, engaged)
Click and enjoy: https://youtu.be/H7h5BHax06c
For the past several months, I've been flirting with the concept of contentment in this stage, but its solid now. I go as I please, I travel solo dolo, I have friends visit, and I really just pursue purpose on my own terms. God is in the driver's seat and I am learning to trust Him fully. I still mess up and start trusting myself and my own understanding, but I have taken Proverbs 3:5-6 to heart:
Proverbs 3:5 King James Version (KJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
