This may be my favourite post I have had the opportunity to write this entire year. I am someone who thrives on reading people's negative thoughts, even if it is a series or book that I adored. I am all for differing opinions and I love a critique. I read some amazing books in 2018, quite a few mediocre ones and not as many disappointing books as I had previously thought. Looking at this list, it is definitely not the longest one that I have had. However, I am excited to share it with y'all!
If you disagree with any of my thoughts, that is absolutely fine. These are my opinions and my opinions alone. I also do require two books that release in January 2019 and that is because the disappointment that overcame me was so strong they had to be included. They were two of my most anticipated releases and now they definitely are not. I'm also posting this pretty early, so oops if I end up hating any more books before the year is up.
Anyway, let's jump into this list!
99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne | Review Coming
This had to be the biggest disappointment of 2018. If you're looking at reading this one next year, I have a review coming out early in the year and I promise this book is not worth your time. I am not sure if it's because it was an eARC but this book was trash. I enjoyed it initially but the more I sat on it the worse it got. So many problematic themes are used throughout and Sally Throne really did lose that humour that made The Hating Game the hit it was. The Hating Game contained problematic qualities that I chose to ignore since it was a debut, but those themes are now undeniably apart of the authors writing and I am not a fan.
Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas | Review
Catwoman: Soulstealer was the biggest mess I have read. Sarah J. Maas didn't seem like she had a thread of a story in this book and it ultimately lead to a steaming heap of trash. She tried hard to include some diversity, but ultimately this story read like an Arrow remake even worse than the original. There was also this storyline that involved a sick sister that felt gross and manipulative. I was not a fan. The only good thing was that there wasn't as much growling or purring as predicted, especially since Sarah J. Maas seemed to enjoy those verbs the most in her previous books.
A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas | Review
I initially wrote a good review for A Court of Frost and Starlight but it was another one that upon sitting on it I was not here for it. This book contained heavily alcoholic themes and some hardcore victim blaming. Sarah J. Maas created Feyre as a strong woman who overcame her hardships of abuse. That seems to have regressed completely. Additionally, when Nesta, a character who is struggling very clearly with mental health issues, is nasty the whole book community went into a rage of hate for her because Sarah J. Maas wrote Nesta in a way that made it seem as if she hated her. It was disgusting to read. Plus, the whole story is a mess. It's drinking, fucking and basically Christmas shopping.
A Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee | Review Coming
I was a massive fan of Mackenzi Lee's A Gentlemen's Guide to Vice and Virtue in 2017. The seizure representation, as small as it was, meant so much to me. However, The sequel to the first book did not meet my standards. This book was slow and all over the place. I don't even think Mackenzi Lee knew what plotline she was following half the time. It was distracting and jarring. I was ready for a kickass asexual main character but that was the opposite of what we got. Felicity seemed to judge and complain the whole point and there was exactly zero piracy. It was such an incredibly frustrating audiobook and I 100% zoned out numerous times because it just wasn't good. There aren't enough words to even describe why I feel this way.
The Chase by Elle Kennedy | Review
I picked this up because The Deal by Elle Kennedy was the first new adult sports romance I read several years ago. Since then I haven't enjoyed anything by the author, especially her Paper Princess series which is a whole other blog post. The Chase was disgusting, honestly. This book had me feeling so much rage that I don't even want to relive what I felt while writing that review. Seriously, check out my review.
The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sagar | Review
Riley Sagar can't write female characters. That much is clear with the two books the author has written. The Last Time I Lied was a boring mess that left me rolling my eyes half the time. Thrillers typically chill me to the bone and unable to put them down. The exact opposite was the case here. I was laughing because of how absurd this whole book was. I truly can't even imagine the author and publisher thinking it was a good idea. It wasn't.
Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett | Review
Starry Eyes has to be one of the most boring YA novels I have read in my 21 years of life. The conflicts of this book felt childish and underdeveloped. The romance even worse, especially what had driven the two apart. The idea of two people having to go hiking and tough it to get home was something that really interested me and this failed hard. The best part about this was consensual sexual relationships between teenagers, which I feel is something that should be represented in YA.
Immortal Reign by Morgan Rhodes | Spoiler Review
Possibly the worst conclusion to a series I have ever read is Immortal Reign. This book was filled with disappointment after disappointment. It honestly felt like someone had written fanfic of the series and concluded it so bloody happily. I was so fucking bored, honestly. This book was a straight a mess and I am still disgusted that Morgan Rhodes chose to include a redemption arc for several of her villains. Like, what the fuck? You had no problem killing people off in the earlier books but suddenly it's a problem? I think not. I honestly had to take this series of my shelf because I can't even bear to look at it.
Obsidio by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman | No Review
Look at this, we have the other series conclusion of the year that disappointed me. Everyone nutted for the Illuminae Files by two Australian authors and I was right there with them. Until, Obsidio. This book with a mess. With a couple that shouldn't have been together and the fact the authors really repeated the storylines of the past books. There are only so many times you can pull a 'they're not dead lmao' twist and it still makes us cry. Honestly. I was just so underwhelmed by this book.
This Adventure Ends Here by Emma Mills | Review
I read This Adventure Ends straight after finishing Foolish Hearts (which will be on my best reads of 2018 list) by Emma Mills. What a disappointment it was. For a book that supposedly focuses on friendship, there was zero communication between friends. The main character also had zero personality or even feeling towards anyone? It was such a strange thing to read and I can barely even remember the book honestly. I just remember feeling "what" after I had finished.
What If It's Us by Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli | Review
What If It's Us was one of those books that try so hard. Adam and Becky are both talented authors and very well known in the book community but this book did not work. It was all over the place and the relationship was incredibly toxic. I mean, you're not over your ex, why are you leading on some random guy? It clustered with pop culture references that I was not impressed with at all. I really don't recommend this book. It was not well done. The parents in this book also incredibly frustrated me. I'm not sure I would suggest my son go meeting up with people from Craigslist or even let them walk around New York City alone if they had only been there a few days. It just didn't seem like a safe idea and was definitely a disappearing parents act.
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer | Review Coming
I read a contemporary series by this author in 2018 and had fallen in love. I was so excited to read a fantasy series by her! I was disappointed – obviously, it's on this list, right? I was not a fan of this book. It was a Beauty and the Beast retelling where the main character has cerebral palsy. The twist of this story was so easy to guess and it was just, overall, underwhelming. I had Beauty and the Beast retellings after I have worked out just how fucked up that entire fairytale is. I am just so over it being the popular fairytale to rewrite. A Curse So Dark and Lonely was no different. The characters infuriated me and I really wish the romance had gone in a whole other direction.
I could have written so much more, honestly. I have so much rage about some of the books I read in 2018. Hopefully, next year will have fewer books that make me want to pull my hair out, but I really doubt it, honestly. What are some of the yourdisappointing reads of the year? Do you agree with any of the books I've said? Disagree? Tell me in the comments!

Oh, fine.
Went to the zoo with Mason. Saw a few animals. Watched some elephants.
Wandered over to the tiger enclosure. Pushed Mace as close as possible so he could get the full impact of the animal's majestic beauty. Said full impact hit him in the face when the tiger SPRAYED ALL OVER HIM.
*gag gag*
Mason, for his part, was not flustered by this turn of event. Momma, for her part, was. Apparently the look on my face was "priceless". The look on Mason's face was hard to determine since it was covered in tiger piss.
ANYways .... back on the homefront the good news is that Mace has finally grown weary of being moved by other people and started stomach-crawling yesterday. Yay!
I wouldn't call it even a commando crawl, more of an inchworm right now. Proud mamma that I am I took some pics:
Just like a dog, Mason's favorite bribe is food. Ok Mason ... fetch!
Good boy.

Have you read anything interesting lately?
Following on from yesterday's post where I mentioned the lack of time I have had over the past two years for indulging in one of my favourite pastimes – reading, I thought I'd go one further and show you just half of the books waiting to be read. A few I have bought myself as they are of favourite authors, a few have been passed to me by mum, Nan, my sister-in-law Tracey (devourer of books) and others I have discovered during the house move having been put somewhere 'safe' until I had time. If I had a pound for everything I had put in a 'safe place' and then promptly lost I'd be a millionaire but I digress.
You see the top book in my photo is The Outcast by Sadie Jones and has been in and out of at least three suitcases, has been dusted off on more than one occasion and has even moved house and not been completed BUT with only a 100 odd pages to go I'm already on the lookout for my next culprit, who I would like to believe I will finish at least by the end of this year!
In an ideal world I would like to have them all read, plus the other pile I haven't photographed (they're all in 'safe places'!) and others too by the end of the year but I must be honest with myself. I Don't Have The Time. This is why actually coming to the end of a good book (it has been an excellent read) I'm excited enough to share it with you! This is the girl who could do at least a book a week on the commute into London. The girl who would pack at least four books to take away on a two-week holiday for 'By The Pool' moments or 'On The Beach'. The expat who ordered 10 books at a time from Amazon and learnt to read in Italian so she could feed the need to read.
Yes, my life is definitely missing something when I can't lose myself in a good story when I can't visualise myself as the heroine, the victim, the lover, the cheater, the wild one (every now and then). I believe a healthy brain needs nurturing with words and now the girls are getting that little bit more independent I'm getting my books ready to hand.
Tell me what I've been missing. What are absolute must reads for you that I should be adding to my pile?
Alessandra permalink25/02/2011 4:21 pm
There's a good deal of great books around so it's not so easy to pick and choose but recent MUST READ books have been:
Room by Emma Donoghue: the story is narrated by the voice of a 5 five year old and the novel is different, moving, sad, uplifting, tender, funny, heart wrenching,cruel, horrifying in turns. A masterpiece.
The Dead Fathers' Club by Matt Haig: again the narrator is a slight older boy (about 10 or 11) who finds himself in a situation that makes him a modern Hamlet. The language and perspective are very interesting because they are is not that of an adult.
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell: not an immediately easy book, you have to work at it a bit. But if you stick it out, you discover one of the most rewarding novels I have read in recent times.
The structure, the language, the different registers and genres, the twists and mirror construction of the book and the moral of the story are great.
Cloud Atlas is a brilliant novel. Cloud Atlas consists of six different stories that march forward, and then backward, through time. It is put together with almost clockwork precision in its exploration of several themes, many of which boil down to the duality of good and evil that exists within man and mankind. You will not read another book like it, and you will be absorbed by its genius that suddenly makes an idea leap off the page with a clarity of purpose that catches you by surprise.
Atonement: forget the film and frowning pouting Keira Knightley; this is Ian McEwan at his very best; savour every word and image in this great read.
Happy reading!

Labour's Jeremy Corbyn cannot be trusted to privatise the National Health Service, entrepreneur Richard Branson has warned.
The millionaire and tax exile told the Daily Mail: "Jeremy Corbyn can't be trusted to hand over large chunks of the NHS to the private sector in a way that is maximally profitable to investors. Entrepreneurs face going out of business if we are prevented from devouring the NHS."
"Take Virgin Health, for example. Despite paying no tax on our massive profits because we're based in a tax haven, Virgin Health could see a significant reduction in the taxpayer funded profits that are needed to maintain my extravagant lifestyle, unless Britain continues to elect hard right prime ministers."
"How I long for the days when Labour had a Thatcherite warmonger for a leader, who was happy to sell the family silver to spivs like me."

He concludes:
I give this game 4.5 out of 5 stars. I would give it 5 but it was a beta and I didn't have time to fully explore all the features and game play. All in all it's a fantastic, rich, exciting environment for an MMORPG with an intuitive interface that harkens to other MMOs with some added game play twists (NPC interaction). This is one of those games (like WoW) that users will be playing for decades.

The Fact and The Truth!
In every girl is a great woman and in every boy is a great man!but what are you seeing?...are you seeing the fact or the truth of your life?The fact may look real but the TRUTH remains the TRUTH!you may see yourself small but on the inside, you can do anything and you are wired by God to be great.Here are some examples of people that others saw the fact of their lives but the truth came out to reveal otherwise!
1. Sir Richard Branson-A man that had poor academic record because he was dyslexic and was seen to be a school dropout is today the chairman of Virgin group with over 300 companies worldwide.
2.Oprah Winfrey-A woman that was molested/ abused as a child , who later became an unknown radio person and a reporter/anchor for a tv station, is now, one of the most influential woman in America and also one of the richest in the entertaiment industry
3.Whoopi Goldberg-A dyslexic is today a well known American actress,talkshow co-host, singer, comedian and has several awards to show for her acting prowess
4. The late Arch-Bishop Benson Idahosa who i can credit with being the father of modern day pentacostalism in Nigeria, was a man that started out sickly, was thrown to die in a refuse dump and later survived to be an Evangelist that travelled round the world preaching to all Nations of the world about Jesus Christ. He died as an institution having impacted his community by building schools, hospitals and churches which today are stll standing as testimonies of this great man.
5. President-elect Barack Obama of America, a relatively unknown Senator, with a very interesting ancestry, who is today the first black President to be!
What is common with the people i gave as examples was that the odd was against them, the fact was, they were nobodies as a result of their background but the truth is, they had all they turned out to be on the inside of them! Do not look at the fact...see the truth!
People saw Moses in the bible as a killer, a fact, but God saw him as a leader,the truth!Men saw David as a Shepherd boy, the fact, but God saw him as a King! the truth! So i encourage you today..... to ignore the fact and see the truth!

Thank you Sharon Jaynes for today's message….
Some of my Girlfriends in God are not going to like this devotion. I'm not even sure I do. But I'm going to put it out there anyhow. During the month of February, I write devotions on marriage. It is the month of love, and marriages certainly are in shambles all around the world. Each February, I am flooded with e-mails: some are appreciative for the reminders on how to love their husbands; some are filled with hurt because they are in their own struggling marriage, and some are broken-hearted because of shattered dreams. These women are so thankful for the balm of God's truth in a very tender area of their lives.
But I also receive e-mails from women who are not married, who do not like the attention to marriage at all. They are flat out angry and frustrated because the devotions do not pertain to them. "Don't you know that all of your readers are not married?"
"Oh honey child," as my grandmother would say.
I've seen the same attitude in church. "I didn't like that sermon." "I didn't like the singing today." "I couldn't relate to that teaching." And on and on we go.
You know what I've discovered…it's not about me. It is all about God. If the pastor is preaching on a topic that is not my struggle, I pray that God will open my eyes to new truths that I've never seen. If he is talking about losing a loved one, I pray for those who have lost a loved one recently…even though that might not be my struggle at that particular time. Is the teaching on raising young children? I have a grown son, so I pray for those who are raising the next generation.
One Sunday, I was singing in church. Barely singing, I might add. It was a dry old hymn and I just wasn't into it. Then I looked at an older woman a few seats down and she had tears trickling down her wrinkled cheeks. She was moved to tears by that old hymn and was taken to the throne room of grace.
"Oh Father," I prayed. "Please forgive me. This is not about me. It's not about what I like or don't like. It is all about You. Truth is truth. Worship is worship. Help my focus be on You and You alone. It's not about me.
Here's a truth I want you to underline, memorize and ponderize (I know that is not a real word, but it should be.) Say it out loud: As long as I think the world is all about me, the angrier and tired-er I will be. The more I realize it is all about God, the happier and freer I will be. (I know tireder is not a word either. I'm just feeling feisty today).
Listen to how David focused on God during worship:
So let's commit to remember together…it's not about me. It's all about God.
Have a ThirtyOne-derful day!

Farmers, Food Purchasers, Policymakers
Ireland is one of the best countries in the world in which to produce grass. However this must be put in the global context of the massive resources (fossil fuel energy, animal feed and water) which goes into meat production. The resource problems are:
• Cattle require 5-20kg of dry matter per kg of food produced. The average gain requirement is about 7kg to produce 1kg gain of live weight. For pigs this is about 4kg/kg and for poultry is lower again (about 2kg/kg).
• Water usage for beef is about 16,700 m3 per tonne of crop which is about 3 times the amount for the next most water intensive sector (pigs).
• As resources (inputs) deplete policymakers' only option will be to promote a change in agricultural practices. Suggestions include:
– Encourage sustainable farming. Rather than penalise farming meat production which would be unpalatable to the farming community, policy makers should implement policies which promote sustainable food production and encourage farmers into more resource efficient outputs.
– Politicians to put greater pressure at a National and EU level to implement environmentally friendly food growing practices, and to make greater efforts to educate the public.
– Pressurise EU policy makers to reject any attempts towards trade agreements such as TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership ) into existence. Such agreements are the corporate driven and do not factor in the environmental and human costs in food costs.
– Resist GM foods which further promote the agenda of a small number of giant agri-business companies in seed ownership and patenting and a consequence of which is the loss of seed diversity. There remains many concerns from the public on the safety of GM foods; a wider debate is needed. Meat consumption if the oublic had greater awareness that many of the animals were fed with GM meal.
– Address lack of public awareness on the inputs to meat production.
– Policy makers can assist by making either GM or non-GM foods visible to meat and poultry farmers at point of purchase, either by labelling or identification on the pallets.
– Promote organic. There is a need for policy makers to promote organic and naturally farmed produce which by its nature does not use GM meal.

Baby Gil is 9 months old!
***I am posting this late, but the picture and the information are all from that time.***
Based off of his weight at 8 months, I would say Gil weighs a little over 17 lbs right now. He is close to outgrowing his 9 month footie pajamas, but other than that, he can wear most 9 month clothes. He is still wearing size 3 disposables and his cloth diapers are set pretty small. He is just a little guy!
Sleep this month was awful! That's not totally fair. Before we went on our trip, it was good. He would cry maybe once at night, but he could usually go from his dream feed until morning. But then on our 3 weeks trip---whew, it was bad! He woke up every 2 to 3 hours almost every night. I think part of it is sleeping in the room with us and part of it had to be the pack and play (that thing is not that soft or comfortable!). And we also didn't feel comfortable letting him cry when we were in other people's houses.
All of Gil's teeth have broken through since last month, and he now has 6 teeth! His top two teeth are spread apart a little, and I think its really cute. I don't think his orthodontia bill in 12 years will be that cute, but right now I like it.
Gil takes two two hour naps a day, and he, even while we are traveling, is doing pretty good with that. Speaking of traveling, this little guy is a champ! He has done amazing so far with all of the car rides. I love having two good travelers.
This month was major for Gil and food. I feel like he finally just started loving to eat! He ate a lot of baby food and he got to try to baby friendly table food for the first time too. He is definitely a carb fan.
He started crawling a day or two after he turned 8 months. He also started pulling up a week or so later. He is a pretty fast little crawler.
He had his first beach trip this month. He is NOT a beach fan. But when you immediately stick a handful of sand in your mouth EVERY time you are on the sand, it probably isn't very fun. He did okay in the pool.
He also had his 3rd trip down to Mississippi. He got to see his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and great grandparents. Of course, his separation anxiety kicked in big time right before we got there. So he took a while to warm up to family. And if I was in the room, he wanted me to hold him. This has been strange for me, because Jack was in daycare from 2 months on, so he wasn't overly attached to me. But Gil just wants me, sometimes!
(Gil's thoughts on the sand...)
Likes: Mom, food, crawling everywhere
Dislikes: Mom being in the room and not holding him
Happy 9 months, Baby Gil! We love you!

Suddenly, there were schedules. Every year, the highlight of the International Council of Air Shows convention in Las Vegas is the release of the following years demonstration team schedules, and this year proved no exception. In a flurry of activity we shared the schedules here on the AirshowStuff blog:
2015 USAF Thunderbirds Schedule
2015/2016 US Navy Blue Angels Schedule
2015 Canadian Forces Snowbirds Schedule
2015 Breitling Jet Team North American Tour Schedule
2015 US Army Golden Knights Schedule
2015 CF-18 Hornet Demo Team Schedule
There are always some interesting story lines and details hidden in the schedules. Here are some of the things that jumped out at us:
Breitling Jet Team Comes to North America
The Breitling Jet Team, based in Europe, has made no secret of their coming North American tour, but today we finally got to see their planned schedule. This is very exciting as it is a new act in North America, and also because the team will be performing on both coasts as well as in between. In fact, their schedule features an entire seasons worth of shows, starting at the end of April and running through October. The team performs in 7 L-39 Albatros aircraft, the same kind used by US civilian jet teams such as the Patriots and Black Diamond. There may be even more to this story to come as one airshow source has told AirshowStuff the the team is still open to adding dates to fill the holes in the announced schedule!
Wings Over Waukegan – A Canadian Invasion
The small Wings Over Waukegan airshow in Illinois appears on both the Snowbirds and CF-18 Hornet schedule. If that wasn't enough, it appears the historically Saturday-only event will take place on Saturday and Sunday this year, something that we first noticed mentioned on the Aerostars Aerobatic Team 2015 schedule put out earlier this week. The Snowbirds previously performed in Waukegan in 2012, and the show has hosted US military single-ship demos in the past but never the CF-18. With the combination of the Canadians, the warbirds of the Warbird Heritage Foundation, and the US Army Golden Knights, this show will be a must see for Midwest airshow fans.
Thunderbirds Over Louisville
Thunder Over Louisville, the one day event on the river in downtown Louisville, KY, has secured the USAF Thunderbirds. This venue has always been interesting for jet teams because the crowd is allowed to sit on both sides of the river, creating a small aerobatic box. However, the Blue Angels were able to perform a full show there this year, so look for the Thunderbirds to do the same.
Notable No-Shows
Several major shows, such as Langley AFB and Battle Creek, MI, failed to appear on any of the schedules released today, but it is not necessarily cause for concern. The USAF F-22 Demo Team schedule is expected to be released much later, perhaps in February, and it will likely include many shows not already listed.
East Coast Competition
East Coast airshow fans will have quite a dilemma in September when Andrews AFB just outside of Washington DC and NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, VA host their shows on the same weekend. Andrews will feature the Thunderbirds while NAS Oceana will feature the Blue Angels. This is a significant date change for Andrews, which is typically held in May. On the other hand, the three and a half hour drive time between bases could allow fans to pull a double and see both teams in one weekend!
Schedule Changes From Last Year
A few years back the Blue Angels decided to start releasing their schedule a full year further out, which is why this year their announcement includes both 2015 and 2016 dates. It also means the 2015 dates have been out since last year's convention, although of course a few have changed. Atlantic City has moved from May to September, perhaps to secure the Breitling team. The Memphis Airshow in Tennessee no longer appears on the schedule, and the St. Cloud show in Minnesota has been replaced by the Eau Claire show just over the border in Wisconsin (although this one was no surprise).
Blue Angels Return to Lynchburg
The last time the Blue Angels performed in Lynchburg, VA, the show ended abruptly with a knock it off after the diamond got too low coming out of a maneuver. The infamous "Stay with me!" incident quickly led to then Blue Angel #1 Dave Koss leaving the team, to be replaced by former "Boss" Greg McWherter after a safety stand down. The team was slated to perform there in 2013, but canceled due to the sequestration budget cuts. Hopefully when the team returns for their scheduled 2016 performance, things will be less eventful.
What do you think about the schedules? Are you excited for a hometown appearance or bummed that you'll have to travel to see your favorite act? Did you notice anything unusual what we missed? Let us know in the comments below or on our Facebook page!

Okay. I admit it. Summer is NOT my favorite season of the year. Heat is not my friend. Pulling weeds is exhausting. I'm not a huge fan of bugs. Yet there is one thing that I do love about summer; it gives me a chance to regroup before the return of cold weather, canning season, and the next school year. What do I do each summer that makes me smile? It's time to start making lists, so I grab a notebook and pencil, and inventory my life.
Closets get a good once-ever. Out with the stained, ripped, ill-fitting, and simply-not-worn items (other than gardening clothes. They don't have to look impressive…or even respectable. As long as they are modest, I'm good.). I can fill in the gaps I create for minimal cost as I thrift.
Food storage is checked and straightened. What do I have that needs to be used, or tossed? Which foods need restocking through canning, drying, sales, etc.? Have our eating habits changed? How does that affect what I should be storing? I love seeing neatly faced shelves, and the knowledge that I can cook whatever strikes my fancy without an emergency shopping trip!
This is a great time to tidy, sort, and overhaul the school stuff. Which items need to go to someone else? What is so loved (translation: worn-out) I really ought to find an additional or replacement? What have I not used because I forgot about it? I also take time to move the contents of my games/learning activities shelves around. It gives my grandchildren and others who visit a chance to rediscover old, forgotten favorites, and try new things.
I check the linen closet. It contains not only my towels, wash clothes, and such, it is where I store the OTC meds, extra supplements, first aid and personal care products. What needs to go on the case lot shopping list? Having this closet stocked and things in an easy to find place before cold and flu season hits gives me great peace of mind!
As I sort, I am making mental and written lists of needs to look for as I shop, or items to add to the budget to minimize surprises later.
While this list seems overwhelming, remember it is best to eat an elephant one bite at a time! Pick one shelf, one closet, one drawer, one category and sort that, then in a day or two, work on another one. In a week or two, you can look back and surprise yourself with how much got done! And don't forget to involve the children! They can empty shelves, take things to the trash, assist with decisions (depending on their age), and if they helped create the mess, they get to help sort it and put it away properly! Work with one or two kids at a time, or dive in with everyone and when you've finished, go do something fun or eat something yummy to congratulate yourselves on a job well done!
By the time autumn rolls around, and I am ready to hunker down for the coming cold weather, the house is ready.
Happy sorting!

It is very tough to find an experienced plumbing professional especially if you come from the busy parts of Bakersfield. This is because the demand for plumbers is very high and every person wants to take advantage of this promising career. You need to understand that plumbing services range from installation to sewer repair and restoration to maintenance, and contractors must be able to offer quality service in all of the aforementioned. So here is what you need to know before you hire a professional plumbing contractor in Bakersfield.
Skills and experience
Before hiring any contractor in Bakersfield, you need to check the skill and experience of the company he/she works for. There are many ways to determine this and among them is word of mouth from the people who have had the first-hand experience with the company.
You should not be convinced by the number of tanks installed by a contractor when all you need is toilet installation. A number of the experienced plumbers can offer you with all the different services. When you have a unique issue, it's important that you look for an expert who has tackled the problem before.
Licensed and insured
This is an important criterion which may vary from state to state. For those who live in Bakersfield, make sure that the company you have chosen has the license of the state to do the task. Ask your plumber to show you the license beforehand.
Getting recommendations is half of the job done. The other half consists of doing some more research and look for credentials. You can get this over the phone, or by simply having a look at the website of the contractor, companies in Bakersfield already have one. What you have to look for is whether the contractor is insured so that you don't end up paying extra costs for damages caused.
You may not have the time to interview your potential plumber but this is an important step. You can make a short interview with your candidates and narrow down the list of contenders. You will be able to learn more about the history, experience of the company and the policy of the contractors. Make sure you also ask for a portfolio of previously completed projects.
As small as the issue may seem, it is important to get a professional who is reliable. To help you with leaking pipes and other related issues. There might be situations when plumbers sneak around your property when nobody is there to see the work he is doing. Beware of such servicemen. Reliable and well known servicemen stick to their task and leave once the task gets over.
With that said, plumbing contractors are the experts largely responsible for the setting up and the designing of your plumbing system. This is why they are experts we cannot stay away from. There are numerous problems that occur in your bathroom, kitchen and sewer you cannot solve on your own. If you consider the above points, you will be able to enjoy the services of a professional plumbing contractor in Bakersfield.


text: codewritinfool 1005 Posted August 13, 2019 35 minutes ago, Jeffrey D. Medwin said: Hello, From late Q4 2019 on, you and any of your friends would always be warmly welcomed, and it would be fun to meet you. I have my VOTTS set up, ( A7-8s) after several years, finally, to where I am happy with them, and the new KT88 DC SE amp looks like it will have me quite satisfied. I have work to do , to have friends listen. I need to repair my System Attenuator. Priority number one. I then have to replace a broken Phono RIAA EQ, with something decent, that I can afford. Maybe build one. I have a decent turntable, arm, and 13 Fulton ( conical stylus ) moving coil cartridges. What a shame, over 10.000 L.P.s, but a unrepairable RIAA EQ !! Been using the top-of-the-line Pioneer BDP-09FD Blu-Ray player, which is decent enough. You stated this as an idea : " We need at least another individual, perhaps more than that. " I agree, but its not always easy to A-B things. ( If it is BLOWING you away, there is less need to A-B or to prove - anything. !! ) Look what I put together, about a week or two ago, where we all went to Montana - just to hear audio gear, amps mostly. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/185504-montana-directly-coupled-2a3-amps-versus-missouri-kt88s-in-sepentode-zero-nfb/ Jeffrey Medwin Yes, I saw that. I see every post on every thread, believe it or not. Just to state it again, I'm not here to embarrass you or anyone. My ears aren't what they used to be, and I'm in my early 50's. I know I can't hear certain things anymore. I believe there isn't any magic or witchcraft or quantum effects in any of this. I believe that any differences in an AB test should be measurable with standard instruments. I'm intrigued by your claims of hearing things that make others lose their minds - just from the claims! Mark Waldrep has said (and I believe him) that if you AB a tune with a louder version of itself, most people will chose the louder one as better. This doesn't say which one is actually better. Better is itself a subjective term. So let's not get into "blowing you away" comparisons. Let's stick with, say, wire. I contend that neither you nor anyone else should be able to consistently and definitively hear the difference between these wires: 57 1/8" wire vs. some other length, say 60". Standard wal-mart 16ga zip cord "speaker wire" vs. a coat hanger. If you can, I should be able to measure that "something" in amplitude or phase or impedance or capacitance or some combination. My guess is that I could "null test" the wal-mart wire vs. the coat hanger without a person in the loop and the difference would be zero. We cannot have a day or even hours between tests. The test switching must be near instantaneous. Let's figure out what that looks like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Privy 5 Overview
It takes some work to get a reservation to the popular ABC Kitchen in New York and that's for good reason. The restaurant itself is housed in an incredible space complete with beautiful lighting, a assembly of country chic furniture and pieces to create a realm of comfort and luxury within the Flatiron/Union Square area of NYC. But, people come to ABC Kitchen to revel in the food and the chef never disappoints. ABC Kitchen primarily engages in the "California-style" cuisine and that means dishes that are fresh, seasonal, and delicious. The portabello mushroom sandwich is fantastic as are several of the menu items but you'll want to save room for desserts. The warm donuts served with chocolate or salted caramel ice cream is worth the trip alone.

Fundamental genes vital to the mechanism for living, such as self preservation; continuance of the species; adaptability and evolution can be found in every species. Drosophila has a total of 13,000 genes which is about half of the genes found in humans but a large amount of these genes (approx. 70%) were discovered to have similar functions and shows significant homology to humans. Moreover, the number of genes in Drosophila that is elucidated exceeds those of other organism and Drosophila has an overwhelming amount of mutant strains. A facility capable of accumulating large amounts of strains, managing their preservation and efficiently providing them to researches is essential to the development of life science researches. Also, the possibility of creating mutant lines applicable to all genes by Drosophila causes the increased interest in it as a model organism. Therefore it is our objective to accumulate mutant lines comprehensively, preserve genetic resources essential to post-genomic research and establish a fundamental organization to support researches.
The objectives of this project are as stated below.
1) Accumulation, preservation and distribution of Drosophila's genetic resources.
Genome-wide resources such as mutants, wild strains, transposon-inserted lines, transformed lines, which are important to life science research are accumulated, preserved and developed. These resources are distributed to researchers upon request.
2) To preserve and distribute Drosophila mutant lines and to maintain RNAi lines.
3) To accumulate, preserve and distribute Drosophila produced in Japan.
4) To organize training courses for Drosophila classification.
5) To conduct genome analysis
The construction of BAC libraries by Genome Research Center, RIKEN and after that, the preservation, distribution and database release of it.

- "The spirit of an ancient king of Hyrule who wishes to secure peace in his land from beyond the grave. He was very fond of the people of the Wind Tribe."
- — Figurine
King Gustaf is a character from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. A former King of Hyrule, he is long dead at the time of the events of the game.
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
After Link obtains the Water Element, King Gustaf's ghost appears and tells Link to seek him out, marking the Royal Valley on Link's map. After navigating the graveyard and the Valley itself, Link traverses the Royal Crypt, wherein King Gustaf's ghost appears before him once more. Gustaf presents Link with the Golden Kinstone needed to open the source of the flow in Veil Falls, and thus, scale the mountain and recover the Wind Element from the Palace of Winds.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
References in the series
Like many locations in Breath of the Wild named after a character from a previous game, Mount Gustaf in the Hyrule Field region takes its name from King Gustaf.
Theory warning: This section contains theoretical information based on the research of one or several other users. It has not been officially verified by Nintendo and its factual accuracy is disputed.
It is believed that King Gustaf could possibly be the Hero of Men spoken of in the stories of the War of the Bound Chest due to his statement that he ruled Hyrule "countless ages ago." He also seemed to be an influential and well-respected person, even to such isolated groups as the Wind Tribe. This is in no way proven, but it remains a possibility, given King Gustaf's mysterious background and his particular appearance within the game's story over other former rulers of Hyrule.
This theory is compounded by the fact that it was King Gustaf that possessed the Kinstone needed to proceed to the Palace of Winds where the Wind Element is kept. It is also stated in the figurine description of his descendant, King Daltus, that Daltus was a great swordsman in his youth, once fighting to a draw with Smith in the Picori Festival sword-fighting tournament. If swordsmanship runs in Daltus' lineage, Gustaf may also have been a very competent swordsman, which the Hero of Men was noted to have been.
It would also be fitting that the Hero of Men was made King of Hyrule as a reward for his efforts in saving the new kingdom from the army of evil. As the fate of the Light Force was never ascertained, it is possible that the Hero of Men imparted it to his descendants, explaining how it came into Princess Zelda's possession. Lastly, the Bound Chest and the Picori Blade were in the care of the Royal Family; artifacts of the Hero of Men ending up in their possession could indicate that the Hero of Men ultimately became a member of the Royal Family himself.

For almost two years now, the Russians haven't been aggressive. If they have been aggressive, they haven't been successfully aggressive.
It is extremely hard to tell whether this is good news or bad news. Probably it is bad news, as seen by the Reagan administration, because when it came up at a recent news conference it made President Reagan knock on wood. That doesn't necessarily mean that this is the President's only method of dealing with the Russians.
Up until now, the Russians have done their part by being thoroughly anti-Republican. Whatever President Reagan couldn't blame on the Democrats he could always blame on the Russians. If the Russians are now going to start acting like good guys where does that leave the United States foreign policy?
This unpleasant turn of events may mean difficult decisions ahead, but the picture is not all black. Even though Russians might reform enough to push the US foreign policy out of gear, there is always a good issue with national policy. The Democrats are not going to reform. Whoever heard of a good Democrat? At least in the last couple of years?
As bad as Democrats might be in the politics of today, they are often quite lovable compared to right-wing Republicans. This issue came up during a White House meeting of 65 hopeful, Republican candidates who got together with the President for a pep talk. The President had just accused the Democrats of being out of step with the times, when right-wing Gary Arnold of California jumped to his feet and accused President Reagan of being too soft on the Russians. One can see the dilemma. How can you be tough with the Russians when they are being so docile and unsuccessful?
It wasn't only the Russians. What was even worse, Mr. Arnold pointed out, Ronald Reagan supported a tax hike. There is no wrath like a Reagan scorned on budget policies, so he told the right-wing Republican gentleman to shut up. He didn't even knock on wood. Or if he did, it was more like pounding on wood.
President Reagan has two wings to fly with, but they are both on the same side. A right wing and a very right wing. If this condition were built onto a bird, it would keep flying in circles.
Flying in circles with US national policy can make everyone awfully dizzy, and might get administration officials snapping at one another. For the sake of better harmony in Washington and a resurgence of Republican election chances, is it wrong to hope the Russians will stop acting like Miss Goody Two Shoes?

The Italian Job DVD and Flag: World Cup Edition [1969]
Great film, with unforgetable scenes featuring Mini Coopers and a Lamborgini Muira.
Amazon.co.uk review
The greatest Brit-flick crime caper comedy of all time, 1969's The Italian Job towers mightily above its latter-day mockney imitators. After Alfie, but before Get Carter, Michael Caine is the hippest ex-con around, bedding the birds (several at a time) and spouting immortal one-liners ("You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"). The inheritor of a devious plan to steal gold bullion in the traffic-choked streets of Turin, Caine recruits a misfit team o (more…)

The BWFSC meet acts as a great opening meet to the New Year, providing swimmers the chance to race in a long course pool in preparation for the county championship and long course orientated part of the season. Many swimmers were looking to improve and/or gain some final county qualification times, the swimmers also had the opportunity to swim in the Olympic Pool used in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The were a number competing clubs, many whom we do not often race against locally including Ashford Town, Beacon, Black Lion, City of Ely, Enfield, Hailsham, Hillingdon, Hitchin, Leyton, LB Hounslow, RTW Monson, Runnymede, Sevenoaks, Green Royals, Borough of Waltham Forest and Mid Sussex Marlins.
We had 51 swimmers attend up 30 swimmers form last years entry. The day was long and a good test for those that attended the Nutrition talk in December to put the strategies learned into practice, with the food and fluid intake for the day assisting recovery and preparation for multi racing.
At the close of the day we had added two additional county qualifiers along with more PB times and County qualification times. We also had several Club Record times broken. Half way through the day the GATOR top club Trophy was proudly positioned on the presentation table. This was to be awarded to the top Visiting Club, and Marlins were positioning themselves as Top Club overall – we needed to keep the momentum going during the afternoon.
The last event to close the meet would be Boys and Girls 100m Fly. Coach Nic Piper quoted "I remember whipping some swimmers for this event on their return from just completing the 50m Backstroke asking them to go and compete".
Events drew to a close after a long day and recognition was indeed awarded to Charlotte Johnson and Teilo Williams for being Top Girl and Boy in their respective Age Groups. The GATOR Trophy was calling its new owners Mid Sussex Marlins. As a club we missed this trophy last year by 3 medals but this year this was achieved with the highest medal total the Gala had ever witnessed with 105 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals awarded to our swimmers.
Next up – Brighton Tom Handley meet January 12th and 13th at the Prince Regent in Brighton.

Online learning is the latest in a long list of social technologies that have been introduced to improve distance learning by adding various augmentations, substitutions, or blending of new pedagogical approaches and technologies. Online learning is beginning to act as a complete substitute for both distance learning and the traditional face-to-face classroom.
Online education, has significantly drawn the attention of students, educators and professional learners. Traditional education is rapidly being replaced by the online or virtual classroom through a wide range of technology-enabled learning modalities, from podcasts and webinars to formal, one-on-one coaching and a range of e-learning platforms via virtual classrooms, web and multimedia materials; simulation and gaming; collaborative learning, immersive simulations and wireless and handheld devices. Most current distance courses have incorporated one or more of these technologies or methodologies thus paving the way for fulfilling the emerging needs of higher education in 21st century India.
Virtual classrooms or online learning sites promote a collaborative learning among students. Through Web based learning, vast amount of information can be searched, reorganized and downloaded from decentralized worldwide digital libraries. Also the quick delivery feedback ability of the Web can make learning more effective. Through virtual collaboration researchers can also share data visualization and create documents collaboratively producing and editing text in real time. The advances that have been made in the quality and sophistication of the virtual classroom learning platform ensure that it is no longer a technological promise, it is a mainstream reality.

As a prenatal yoga teacher, I love a birth story that includes a little yoga! So I adored getting this note last spring from mama Ellen, who filled me in on the birth of her beautiful daughter Safia Rose… Safia was born April 2 at 1:48 p.m. She was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 19-1/2 inches long. I was in labor for 15 hours and yoga really got me through! Especially the Sat Nam mantra - which got me through the hardest parts and helped push the baby out! The Sat Nam mantra we often used in class was inspired by the lovely Prenatal Kundalini Yoga and Meditation for Mothers to Be DVD by Gurmukh … [Read more...]
Birth Story: Safia Rose
Sacred Ceremony
After years of witnessing other women bring babies into the world as a doula, I wanted my birth time to be a sacred ceremony. So I chose to birth at home, with midwives and a birth coach. On April 28, one week past our "guess date," I was on my yoga mat, rolling around on my exercise ball. I'd had some contractions, and I was anxious to get things under way. Suddenly I heard a loud pop—and my water broke, gushing all over the yoga mat. I called my dear yoga teacher, Ana Forrest, and spoke with her as I waited for my "team" to arrive. When my midwives checked me, I was 3 centimeters … [Read more...]
