Book review: 'Baby Proof' by Emily Giffin
January 29, 2014 January 28, 2014 / Meg	/ 6 Comments
Oh, I'm so torn about this one.
On one hand, it was very entertaining. Like all Emily Giffin novels, I raced through it — barely pausing between sentences, between chapters. It was interesting and often amusing and filled with (mostly) likeable characters, but . . .
It felt shallow. Ill-conceived (eh, pun intended). I wasn't entirely comfortable with where the story was headed, and I definitely wasn't comfortable with where it wound up.
But look. If you're a Giffin fan, you've probably already tread down the path of Baby Proof — like, years ago — and don't need me to tell you to grab it or not grab it. If you like women's fiction, chances are favorable you've come across the author's work — and I certainly have. This was actually the final book of her backlist I had to pick up, and I'm not sorry I read it.
Would I read it again? Nope.
The gist of our story: Claudia Parr thinks she's happily married to Ben, a man with whom she shares a no-child vision for their lives; Ben decides that may not actually be the case; marriage crisis ensues. In the end, Claudia must decide if she's secure in not wanting to be a mother — and if she's comfortable with Ben going on to parent with someone else.
It's a pretty long book centering on one precise issue, but I actually thought Giffin handled it well. Of course, because our narrator emphatically declares she does not want a child — and stands to lose her marriage because of it — she sees babies everywhere. One sister desperately wants to be pregnant, but can't be; another friend thinks she is going to have a child with her married lover, but fate might have other ideas. Basically, it's all the babies all the time in Claudia's world . . . and everything gets complicated.
If this sounds like a read you'd enjoy and/or you like Emily Giffin, you'll probably dig this one. It was not my favorite of her books — that distinction would go to Something Blue — but, you know, it was passable.

Book review: 'The Supreme Macaroni Company' by Adriana Trigiani
December 5, 2013 December 4, 2013 / Meg	/ 8 Comments
This was the book I chose to read during that most sparkly of times of a woman's life: the week of her wedding. Knowing its lead character, Valentine, was tying the knot herself, I figured it was just the engrossing-but-lighthearted read I craved.
I have a long track record of enjoying the works of Adriana Trigiani, which feature a lovely blend of love and family, and I was really looking forward to sinking into The Supreme Macaroni Company. I'd saved it for November, in fact, and couldn't wait to get started.
The reading experience? Well, it featured highlights and lowlights, really. But before we get into all that, here's the gist of it from the publisher:
For over a hundred years, the Angelini Shoe Company in Greenwich Village has relied on the leather produced by Vechiarelli & Son in Tuscany. This historic business partnership provides the twist of fate for Valentine Roncalli, the school teacher turned shoemaker, to fall in love with Gianluca Vechiarelli, a tanner with a complex past . . . and a secret.
A piece of surprising news is revealed at The Feast of the Seven Fishes when Valentine and Gianluca join her extended family on a fateful Christmas Eve. Now faced with life-altering choices, Valentine remembers the wise words that inspired her in the early days of her beloved Angelini Shoe Company: 'A person who can build a pair of shoes can do just about anything.' The proud, passionate Valentine is going to fight for everything she wants and savor all she deserves — the bitter and the sweetness of life itself. (Goodreads)
So we've seen Valentine before — twice, in fact. It's been three years since I joined Ms. Roncalli on her adventures, and . . . well, I needed a refresher. In fact, though I apparently enjoyed both books immensely in 2009 and 2010, I couldn't have told you much about them.
Not a good sign, I guess.
Once I got back on board, though, I was ready to ride that Italian-infused train for hours. I spent portions of this novel completely lost in Trigiani's world and language, falling in love with Gianluca along with Valentine and reveling in their short — but happy — engagement. I loved the family Christmas, the dynamics and intricacies involved with creating beautiful shoes, and the obvious love the families share for one another.
But somewhere along the line, everything just . . . started to derail. Fall flat. Become quite dull. My relationship with Valentine deteriorated when I realized how she was determined to assert her independence no matter the cost — which could include her husband.
It all just seemed . . . unnecessary. And was painful to read.
But honestly, I don't have warring emotions about this story. I read it quickly on my honeymoon, grabbing long passages here and there, and I adored much of it — especially Trigiani's descriptions of the loving, complicated Roncalli clan — but still felt it lacked an emotional component that usually hooks me on stories laced with family dynamics.
The plot twist toward the end felt like a gut-punch — in a sour way. I understood it, but it just . . . made me angry. And this after Valentine had already begun to come across as pushy, bossy, negative, unfeeling. I really hardened toward her, and that feeling lingered long after I'd closed the last page.
Longstanding fans of the Valentine series will want to see how their heroine fared, but I ended the story feeling rather deflated. I believe Trigiani concluded the series in a realistic way, and Valentine certainly did evolve as a character, but I can't help but feel disappointed we didn't get a more fulfilling send-off.

Book review: 'Just Like Other Daughters' by Colleen Faulkner
November 21, 2013 November 20, 2013 / Meg	/ 10 Comments
Sometimes you meet a book and shake its little hand, believing you've become acquainted with something sweet — delicate, maybe — and far from life changing. You'll spend a little time with the novel, seeking diversion, but don't expect much.
It'll be a simple story. An easy story. And you venture along in your ignorant bliss, thinking you'll wade into a warm batch of cotton candy . . . but when you surface 100 pages in, you realize it's over. You were wrong. You've been sucked into a book so emotional and gut-wrenching and realistic and unique, the idea that you could have ever fancied it something innocuous is funny.
Meet Just Like Other Daughters by Colleen Faulkner, a book I picked up because it centered on a unique mother/daughter pair: Alicia, a single parent and college professor; and Chloe, her 25-year-old daughter. Her daughter with Down syndrome. Her daughter who has, against others' wishes or desires, fallen in love.
Life has been pretty straightforward for Alicia and Chloe. After divorcing her husband, a womanizing fellow professor, Alicia plunges headfirst into her daughter's care. Chloe grows up in a fairly traditional way, bonded by rituals and thick-as-thieves with her mom, and Alicia feels fortunate — incredibly fortunate — to be around for her daughter in the ways she needs. But as Chloe begins expressing more desire for autonomy, Alicia feels the tender threads binding them together starting to fray.
Enter Thomas. A handsome, mentally-disabled young man from the same classes she attends daily . . . a young man in love with Chloe. The first times they're caught touching or kissing, Alicia brushes off the burgeoning relationship — even as Chloe asserts that Thomas has asked her to marry him. From a strict and religious household, Thomas' parents intervene at the idea of the couple having a physical relationship outside the bonds of marriage.
And Alicia just doesn't want to think about it.
Honestly, I could talk about Just Like Other Daughters all day . . . because there's just so much to talk about. Once I started reading, I simply couldn't stop. I was completely sucked into Alicia's world, constantly empathizing with her and wondering how I would handle all the uncharted territory she must cross myself. Assertive but thoughtful, weak but strong, Alicia is the perfect mom — because she really cares. Would I make all the same choices, do all the same things? I don't know. Maybe not . . . but maybe. Faulkner's great ability to create such a sympathetic, realistic and painfully normal mom in Alicia is the story's true strength. Because Alicia could be any of us.
As the novel progresses, my stomach started to hurt. Literally: it ached. Chloe, Alicia and Thomas are put into such crazy situations that are . . . actually completely ordinary. The book raises so many questions about what constitutes a happy, normal and fulfilling life for Chloe and Thomas, and I realized time and again that there are no easy answers. Nothing is as simple as a yes or a no, and that's what made it so fascinating — and gut-wrenching — to read.
I didn't know where the book was going, but a nervous sixth sense seemed to get it before my mind did. All I can say is that, by the conclusion, I was laying in bed wide-eyed in such shock that I couldn't fall asleep. At 2 a.m. It's been a long time since a book made me feel so many things at a single time, and I haven't stopped thinking of it since.
The only thorn in my side? The story's transitions to Chloe's point of view. A few times throughout the book, the first-person narration switched from Alicia to her daughter — a choice I found unnecessary and distracting. Always in short bursts, Chloe's portions really broke up the narrative. I didn't need them to bond with her, to understand her; I already felt like I did.
But that's a small complaint in an otherwise powerful story. Readers interested in mother/daughter stories, family relationships or just plain gripping novels will find a moving story in Just Like Other Daughters. It's a quick read, but not one I'll soon forget.

Book review: 'The Good Wife' by Jane Porter
October 22, 2013 October 21, 2013 / Meg	/ 6 Comments
What I love best about Jane Porter also happens to be what most punches me in the gut: her work really, really draws you in.
You're not reading about the action, kindly removed from the situation with a cool beverage in an ivory tower; you are all up in the drama, standing sticky in the middle of the muck when things get serious. If you're looking for an engrossing read you simply cannot put down (and who isn't?), The Good Wife is awesome. But when your head is full of nonsense and you just want to escape from reality for a bit, it's terrible.
But also terribly awesome. Because maybe you want to get involved in someone else's disaster for a bit! Feel their anguish, their pain, their confusion! . . . But maybe you don't. Maybe you want to just veg out, relax, decompress.
I could not decompress with this book.
Don't let me give the impression I didn't like it, however — definitely not true. This is the third in Porter's Brennan Sisters series (preceded by The Good Woman and The Good Daughter), and suffice it to say I am emotionally invested in this complicated, realistic and loving clan. Picking up The Good Wife, which focuses on sister Sarah, felt like reuniting with family.
And just like family, it got messy. Sarah is the wife of handsome and successful baseball player Boone Walker, a charismatic man who spends more time on the road than with his young family. Left to single parent in Florida, far removed from her Californian crew, Sarah is reeling from two recent losses and struggling to move past Boone's previous infidelities (not a spoiler — addressed much earlier in the series).
Happening alongside Sarah's struggles is the story of Lauren, a 30-something baker and entrepreneur whose teen son died tragically the year before the story opens. Also fighting through grief, Lauren is trying to make sense of a new world in which she's a mother without a child . . . and must try to find a way to move forward in the crumbling aftermath of her previous life. When a sweet, smart teammate of Boone's expresses an interest in her, leading to the first glimpse of dating she's experienced in decades, Lauren must dig through the wreckage of the past to walk shakily into the future.
I don't know who I adored more: Sarah or Lauren. Though they initially live in different parts of the country and are marching into different battles, the two women are remarkably similar, too. I like that Porter doesn't focus on the Brennan family to the detriment of every other character in the novel, rendering anyone peripheral to the background; anyone introduced in The Good Wife is real and interesting and totally flesh-and-blood, making it a dynamic and personal reading experience.
And it did feel personal. When Sarah hurt, I hurt; when Lauren hurt, I really hurt. It's a testament to Porter's skill that she has me so deeply involved with her characters that I can barely tolerate parting with them. It's been a long time since I got hooked on a series, and the Brennan Sisters books have definitely done that for me. Though sometimes the attention to detail felt exhausting, I still can't help but marvel at the way Sarah and Lauren's lives were brought so beautifully to life for me.
If you haven't read anything by Porter, do yourself a favor and start with The Good Woman. Meg has a big role in this one, too, and the impact of events won't be the same without gaining your own history with the characters. Porter's third installment is heartbreaking and thoughtful and touching, and I highly recommend this — and the series.
4.25 out of 5!

Book review: 'The Apple Orchard' by Susan Wiggs
October 10, 2013 October 9, 2013 / Meg	/ 6 Comments
Fall is the perfect time to read about an orchard, right?
And maybe also the right time to read about an emotionally-compromised narrator and lost treasures? And perhaps a World War II-era mystery — Nazis and daring escapes and such?
Sure. I think so.
To say Susan Wiggs' The Apple Orchard was different than I'd anticipated is an understatement — but in a good way. I went into this 400-plus-page book expecting some romance set against a sparkling California backdrop — and Wiggs delivered on that front. But I was also treated to some mystery and some history . . . all while a burgeoning love affair simmered just beneath the surface.
In short: delicious.
So we have Tess Delaney, a purveyor of fine goods — a woman in San Francisco who specializes in finding lost treasures and returning them to their rightful owners. Save a flighty mother who dodges in and out of her life, Tess has no real family . . . and has always longed to forge a connection with others, though she isn't sure how. When news arrives that she has a grandfather and half-sister living in nearby Archangel, Tess hightails it out to an orchard for answers — but only discovers more questions along the way.
Though lengthy, it's hard not to get sucked into The Apple Orchard — a story brimming with entertainment and intrigue. I never became as emotionally invested in Tess' life as I would have liked, but I was able to enjoy my first Wiggs novel as pure entertainment. It was very involved, but it never felt too heavy. I was surprised at the depth of the characters and the far-reaching twists in the plot — many of which spanned decades.
As love interests, Tess and Dominic — the banker threatening to foreclose on Bella Vista, the sprawling family orchard — are an interesting pair. With little in common on the surface save their vested interest in Magnus, Tess' ailing and newly-discovered grandpa, the allies work together on ways to save the Archangel property . . . including locating one rare, very valuable family artifact. The romantic tension between them crackled and popped, and I spent most of The Apple Orchard waiting for them to connect. You know, ahem — really connect. The results were not disappointing.
Alternating between present-day California and WWII-era Denmark, Wiggs does an admirable job of connecting so many characters across generations. One plot point involving the fate of the family treasure felt a little hokey to me, especially as far as Tess' father's fate was concerned, but that was a minor ripple in an otherwise enjoyable story.
Also, the setting really made the novel for me . . . and I totally want to go hang out in an orchard now. Maybe like the one we wandered last year in Syria, Virginia (pictured below). Cider? Apple picking? Prancing through the rows like I'm Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music"? I'll take it.

Book review: 'The Bride Wore Size 12' by Meg Cabot
October 1, 2013 September 30, 2013 / Meg	/ 6 Comments
Heather Wells was hoping for a banner year at New York College, where she works with undergrads and sees to their needs in a busy — now infamous — residence hall. A former pop star now sporting a sparkly engagement ring courtesy of her PI fiance, Cooper, Heather's hope for a quiet semester vanishes when an RA turns up dead and the son of a prominent international politician stirs up controversy in her building. With many students as possible suspects and the stakes getting ever-higher before her big day, Heather just hopes to get out of this one . . . alive.
Meg Cabot's The Bride Wore Size 12, the fifth book in her Heather Wells mysteries series, is a fun story that may not have had me reading compulsively, but did serve as an entertaining distraction during a busy month. I read the first book — Size 12 is Not Fat — back in 2009, but never felt compelled to pick up the books that came after. I chose to reunite with Heather as a bride-to-be myself, and . . . well, it turns out I didn't miss much.
But I don't mean that in a super mean way. Just that Heather is still the Heather I remember: assertive but kindhearted, interesting but not ridiculously compelling as a narrator. She's engaged to a private investigator, works with an assortment of unusual coworkers. I remember the first book being fun but not life-altering, though the details did come back to me all these years later. (Always a good sign.)
The "mystery" aspect — centering on the death of Jasmine, a popular coed — was . . . well, it was. I was curious about what happened to her, but we didn't know enough (or anything, really) about Jasmine to make her death matter to us. Rashid, the son of a prominent Middle Eastern leader, comes with baggage — and it's his partying and involvement on campus that bring the circumstances surrounding Jasmine's death more attention. I was interested in Rashid and his story with Ameera, a fellow student, but I wished they'd gotten more screen time.
There was just . . . so much happening here. We have Cooper and Heather's upcoming wedding; the mystery surrounding the student death; the popularity of a student news blog breaking stories Heather would rather not be breaking; the reappearance of Heather's long-lost, no-good mom and former manager; Cooper's interactions that ultimately turn unpleasant; and . . . well, now I have whiplash.
But I can't say this book wasn't a fun read. Despite some of its heavy subject matter, Cabot writes with humor and a light touch — all qualities I've always loved about her. If you're new to the series, you could certainly start with The Bride Wore Size 12 and work your way back . . . but I'd recommend starting at the beginning. If you've spent time with Heather in the past but aren't sure you want to scamper back into her world, your return will probably be an enjoyable one.

Book review: 'Vanity Fare' by Megan Caldwell
June 28, 2013 June 28, 2013 / Meg	/ 7 Comments
Lattes! Books! New York City! I felt I couldn't go wrong with Megan Caldwell's Vanity Fare, a novel that promised witty literary references with a side of scones (man, I love scones). But in the end? I couldn't help but feel like I'd prepared to tuck into a really great piece of pie and found myself handed slimy kidney beans instead. They were filling, yes . . . but not what I'd been craving.
Now that 40-year-old Molly Hagan is staring down the barrel of impending financial insecurity, a writing gig penning food-related copy for a new bakery seems like the answer to her fervent prayers. She can keep her 6-year-old son fed, care for her bankrupt mother and begin to rebuild post-divorce.
The job working with Simon, a handsome pastry chef expanding into the American market, starts out a little rocky — especially when the charming Brit can't help but flirt with Molly, who tries hard to project polish and professionalism. But soon business tensions, divorce tensions and sexual tension with another man — the stoic but secretly warmhearted Nick, an assistant of Simon's — threatens to boil over. And Molly must figure out how to keep it all together.
So, starting with the good, the New York setting and encroaching restaurant opening — near the New York Public Library! — was delightful. I loved the sights and smells depicted in the city, even if Molly seemed to spend half the book riding the subway to meet business associates. Seriously, why all the subway talk? I guess we're supposed to get that Molly is a Working Mom, you know, and it's not easy for her to bop around Manhattan like all these other unattached wealthy nitwits. But by the third or fourth depiction of Molly donning a black outfit and commuting from the suburbs, I started to feel a little stabby.
Much of this book, in fact, made me feel stabby. Simon was a jerk. Nick was . . . well, not really a jerk, but still not someone I could tolerate for very long. Nondescript. Vanity Fare had promise but could have chopped off a good fourth of the story, and Molly's time talking to a therapist was so tedious. Overall, it was just long. And unsatisfying.
I did narrowly finish, mostly due to the setting and foodie talk, but didn't feel anything for Molly. We just never gelled. And because I never bonded with her or felt interested in her journey, most of the book began to feel like a slog. It was all just . . . eh. A room-temperature glass of milk.
But stars for food-related copy that begins each chapter: Yeast of Eden, Tart of Darkness. Though it wasn't enough to save this one for me, I definitely dug the creativity.

Chris Lamb has announced his gaim plugin "gaim-lightthink" both on his blog and on the thinkpad-linux mailing list. His plugin does basically the same thing as my gaim-thinklight plugin. I was a bit surprised to read that his plugin is supossed to be a lightweight replacement for mine, as he says on the code page.
BTW, I'm still looking for a sane way to let my plugin write to that /proc file. There should be a system wide list of files and permissions for virtual files (/proc, /sys), where packages like gaim-thinklight can register their needs. This file should then be worked off upon boot (or better, upon mounting of the respective file system).
Seems like that would be something udev would be tailored to. Since it creates files in /dev and manages their permissions at boot, perhaps it could be extended to manage /proc and /sys permissions too?

Mark 15:47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus' body was laid.
Even though the leaders of the day surmised that there could be a plot to say that Jesus was risen and thus took extra precaution to make sure that a hoax didn't ensue, they learned that you can't keep the God-man down. No guard nor strength was going to be enough. Yet, his closest companions mourned and followed burial rituals as if they had no hope. When hope is scarce, trust the promises of God.
Lord, I will remain steadfast in hope.
Read John 12:1-8 to see another time that Mary anointed Jesus before His burial.
Taking God at His Word is one of the greatest attributes of faith. Choosing to Know Him and trust His promises is a game changer and will allow you the strength to endure difficult situations with hope. This will also help fill your tank relationally with God so that you now only trust Him and love Him but you will be able to love and serve others too.
From the outside, it looks like death has won. From the inside, death was being defeated once for all time.
Mark 15:46 Then he took Jesus' body down from the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone in front of the entrance.
Jesus' human life was laid down as the sinless sacrifice for sin. In these moments, hours and days that Jesus was in the tomb all hope seemed lost. Just like in our own lives, there are times when we don't see what God is doing until He does it!
Lord, I will put my own sin to death by surrendering myself fresh and new to You today.
Read Isaiah 53:9 and see how this was fulfilled in today's text.
For our sin (Marred) to be dealt with, we must die to it. To be Mended by Jesus we must repent of our sin and place our faith in Him that He will remove it from us. Just as Jesus went to the tomb, so must our old way of life so that we can begin a new life in Him where we live in His Light, His Love and experience His Life!
Never forget, Jesus laid down His life freely for you.
John 19: 36 These things happened in fulfillment of the Scriptures that say, "Not one of his bones will be broken," 37 and "They will look on the one they pierced."
The soldiers are told to hasten the death's of those hanging on crosses but Jesus is already gone. Why? He had 'given up His Spirit' so that we could be forgiven. Powerful!
Lord, I will look upon that horrific cross and live with gratitude.
Read John 10:17-18 to remember that Jesus said He would lay down His life in this way.
Isaiah 53 prophetically promised that Jesus would be pierced for our transgressions. The crown of thorns had pierced His head and now this spear had pierced His side. When it did, His blood was shed for you and for me that we would no longer be slaves to sin (Marred) but that we could become righteous through faith and repentance (Mended). Are you Mended by Christ?
Jesus was the ultimate revolutionary!
Mark 15: 27 Two revolutionaries were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
Jesus hung on that middle cross with sinners on both sides of Him. This is a great reminder of how He endured all the same things that we did yet without sin. One of those men was a doubter and one was full of faith. Which will you be?
Lord, I recognize the price for my sin is Your blood.
The revolutionary that showed faith towards God through belief in Jesus. That faith brought a promise of paradise from the Lord. Even though this was a 'death-bed' conversion, it must have been an honest one. No matter what stage of life you find yourself in it is not too late to let Jesus Mend you by His great sacrifice.
It wasn't a lack of power that kept Jesus on the Cross, it was the power of love that kept Him there.
Matthew 27:40 Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!"
We often miss what God is doing. Like the mockers in today's Bible text, we rarely get the 'big picture' when we are looking at God's mysterious ways. Let's make sure and leave room in our worldview for God to do the unexpected.
Lord, I will wait on You to show Your own divine plan.
In order for us to be Mended by Christ, He had to finish the job. His 3 year ministry to the region was concluded but He had to stay on that cross and fully lay down His life to become to sacrificial Lamb of God that would take away the Marring Sin of the World. Thanks be to God that He did!
The weight of Jesus' Cross was enough but Jesus also carried the weight of our sin…that's heavy!
Matthew 27: 37 A sign was fastened above Jesus' head, announcing the charge against him. It read: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews."
Jesus is led towards the place of the skull where He would lay down His perfect life with humility so that we could be forgiven. The nails are hammered into His hands and feet and yet He still prays for the forgiveness of His oppressors. This is the heart of God and needs be our own heart…to forgive beyond anything natural is the supernatural love God has for us and has given us a charge to have for others.
Lord, I will live with forgiveness of those who hurt me.
Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Here Jesus begins to pour out His life's blood and we begin to have a chance at life both now and forever. The Marring Power of Sin is being broken and the Mending power of Christ is being offered so that we can be saved. Praise God.

In case you are planning to move or you simply need to free up some space in your house or office, self-storage is a superb alternative for you. To be able to get the top self-storage, there are many things that you just have to take into account. That's the reason you need to be keen when considering your self storage alternatives. Luckily, there are simple things which you need to look out for if you want to locate a very good self-storage choice.
Security is one of the very important issues to consider when buying a self-storage unit. You obviously do not need any of the valuables that you're going to store in a given storage unit to go missing. It is always a good idea to get a lock that is solid. But if you truly want to safeguard your items, you need to look for a storage facility with additional security features. You must look for a facility with margin wall, electronic gate, alarms, 24 hours video surveillance etc.
Availability is an essential factor to consider when buying a self-storage facility. You have to ask yourself whether it'll be easy that you get it before selecting any storage facility. If some of the items which you are going to keep there will be needed frequently, you have to ensure that that the self-storage facility is in exceptionally accessible area. You must also ask yourself whether you'll require night access. This is because there are some storage facilities which you can not be able to obtain at nighttime while there are others that you can have access to 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
It's possible for you to judge a storage facility that is specified by just looking at just how clean it is. You have to assess the units keenly to determine whether they've reached the standards of cleanliness that you just want. Before determining to transferring your valuables in, assess an empty unit. Your items will be more fortunate in a clean surroundings.
You must check whether there will always be someone on site. A storage company with a property manager on site will probably supply better services than a company that will not have anyone website to you. Having someone who goes across the property on a regular basis also helps ensure that issues or difficulties which could cause losses are identified early. Your valuables will likely be much safer in a storage facility which has a property manager on site.
What is the general shape of the storage facility? Is it? Might it be neat? Is there litter lying around? All these are a few of the questions which you need to seek solutions to if you are trying to find the most effective self-storage facility. Pay careful attention to the minor details. Make certain that the property is clean you choose looks good and is well kept. Select a facility you will be proud to go to every time when you merely want to look over the state of the items or you wish to pick up something you kept.
When searching for a self-storage facility, price is certainly one of your top concerns. However, if you would like value for your cash, price must not be the conclusive factor. Generally, you get whatever you pay for. You might presume that that you're saving money by choosing the least expensive storage facility only to realize later that you picked a dirty facility with customer service and bad security.
For a trusted self storage Tampa facility, you may want to check out Self Storage Centers Of America. They offer affordable units for all storage requirements you may have. They have climate-controlled units as well for your important things as well as storage options for vehicles.

Q: Angle between 2 vectors Suppose v and w are nonzero vectors. Find the angle between v and w if
||v+w||=||v||=||w||.
I know i have to use the cosine formula to solve this but i'm not sure how to proceed

A: Let me denote by $\mathbf{v}\cdot\mathbf{w}$ the scalar product of $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{w}$. Then
$$
\|\mathbf{v}+\mathbf{w}\|^2=\|\mathbf{v}\|^2+2\,\mathbf{v}\cdot\mathbf{w}+\|\mathbf{w}\|^2=\|\mathbf{v}\|^2=\|\mathbf{w}\|^2.
$$
Then
$$
\mathbf{v}\cdot\mathbf{w}=-\frac{\|\mathbf{v}\|^2}{2}=-\frac{\|\mathbf{w}\|^2}{2}.
$$
You can go on from here.

A: Note that
$$\cos\theta=\frac{\vec{v}\centerdot\vec{w}}{||\vec{v}||\centerdot||\vec{w}||}$$
Since
$$||\vec v||=||\vec w||$$
which yields that
$$||\vec{v}||\centerdot||\vec{w}||=\vec v ^2$$
and
$$||\vec v+ \vec w||=||\vec v||$$
which yields that
$$\vec v^2+ \vec w^2 +2 \vec v \centerdot \vec w=2\vec v^2 +2\vec v \centerdot\vec w=\vec v^2$$
we now obtain
$$\cos \theta = -\frac{\vec v^2}{2\vec v^2}=-\frac{1}{2}$$
Or
$$\theta = \frac{2\pi}{3}$$

A: By the geometric interpretation of a vector sum,

But if all sides have the same length...
I'll let you finish.
Note for this method you do not need to use the cosine formula.

Party agendas, responsibility, and punishment
History seems to be repeating itself. In 2008, Democrats were elected by wide margins nationally after running on a platform emphasizing health care reform and fixing the economy. So once they were in power, they reformed health care and attempted to fix the economy, and then were punished heavily for doing so in 2010. The Republicans were put in charge of the House that year after running on a platform of fiscal responsibility. Once in power, they voted for the Ryan budget outline, which called for drastic decreases in federal spending on expensive items like Medicare. And now they're starting to get punished for it.
Did the GOP fail to learn the lessons of the Democrats? Was this avoidable? Well, that all depends on your view of a party's responsibilities.
In theory, the Democrats could have avoided some losses in 2010 by not doing anything on health reform. Sure, they would have still suffered due to weak economic growth and President Obama's relative unpopularity, but it might have been less of a slaughter if so many members in moderate districts hadn't voted for ACA (although it's hard to know the demoralizing effect on activists of failing to act on a longstanding priority). But would that have been the responsible thing to do? The party has been advocating for health reform for decades and suddenly found itself in control of the White House, the House, and 60% of the Senate. Even if they had known in advance about the drubbing they would take for it, would that have been a valid excuse for inaction?
And please don't suggest that they could have reformed health care in a less controversial way. Any effort to restructure a seventh of the economy is inherently controversial. The plan Obama ended up pushing was seen as the moderate, uncontroversial approach just a few years earlier only because no one was opposing it at the time. In a polarized environment, any effort made by one party to do something this big is going to encounter significant opposition.
Similarly, would it have been responsible for the Republicans to not push something like the Ryan plan this year? Republicans have been criticizing Medicare essentially since it was created, and any serious effort to deal with long term budget deficits -- something that Republicans promised to do when they ran in 2010 -- will have to address Medicare in some fashion. Now, they didn't have to do it in precisely this way, but it looks like they were being responsible. That is, they knew this plan would be unpopular but felt they had to push it.
I'd suggest that the alternative -- irresponsible parties that propose something in a campaign and then avoid acting on it in order to stay in power -- is far worse for representative democracy. Campaigns would become meaningless and politicians would be utterly unpredictable. The fact that we have parties that actually seek to deliver on campaign promises is something we should be celebrating.
Labels: elections, parties
"I'd suggest that the alternative -- irresponsible parties that propose something in a campaign and then avoid acting on it in order to stay in power -- is far worse for representative democracy. Campaigns would become meaningless and politicians would be utterly unpredictable."
I agree, and the conclusion it points to is that the problem is not with the elected but with the electorate. It's the voters who make campaigns meaningless and who are utterly unpredictable because we pay only sporadic attention, are easily distracted by sideshows, make wholly unreasonable and often contradictory demands ("taxed enough already!" "balance the budget!" "keep your government hands off my medicare!"), and then are outraged when those demands are not instantly met.
Seth Masket said...
I don't know that I'd put it that way, Robert. A political system consisting only of party activists would be insufferable in many ways. Half the electorate would always be convinced the economy was tanking; the other half would always be convinced we're enjoying Heaven on Earth. Typical voters bring a level of reality to the whole thing. You actually can't convince them that things are great when they're not.
There's no reason that the government needs to do everything the public wants it to do, but nor should the public be completely ignored.

Now, they didn't have to do it in precisely this way, but it looks like they were being responsible."
I dunno, that sounds like the soft bigotry of low expectations for Republicans.
First off, they passed Medicare Part D in the Bush Jr. era, so it's hard to say they've always hated Medicare (tho of course the did at its creation, with Ronald Reagan warning that it meant Socialism and the end of the American way of life).
Second off, "the deficit" is something everyone always says they don't like. The reason that Medicare is a long-term budget problem is the same reason the US economy altogether has long-run problems-- the US_only astronomical and skyrocketing cost of health care.
The GOP's declared approach-- "for ten years, we'll do nothing, adding to the deficit over current projections. Then, we'll stop paying for health insurance for seniors! Problem solved!"-- was not a serious engagement with the policy problem.
I mean, it was *something,* sure, better that than pushing for a war on Venezuela, or something. But... given that the GOP ran in 2010 on saving Medicare from evil Obama (just check Paul Ryan's quotes from '10), it's hard to say that this proposal is what they said they'd do, or that it is reasonably calculated to address the policy problem underlying Medicare's long-term budget issues.
Actually, I'd lump the Ryan budget in with "avoiding action on it to stay in power."
Because any reasonable observer (or legislator) knew that there was no chance whatsoever that it would become law, it wasn't a serious attempt to reduce the deficit or anything else. It was a stunt, allowed to proceed by a Speaker who is worried about the gaggle of semi-crazy Tea Party people who just won election and a bunch of Representatives who are worried about the crazier Tea-Partiers in their districts.
And, I think, the Thrush piece supports this. Boehner had to do something strong to retain the support of the Tea-Party-elected members, and members were afraid that the Tea Partiers might run another O'Donnell against them in their next election.
This is less "responsible" and more the fiscal equivalent of a birther bill.
You make a good point, Reflectionephemeral. Still, given that the GOP has long been running on a platform claiming that we must curb the federal government's spending and its role in our lives, it shouldn't be too shocking when they vote to do exactly that.
Anonymous, there are different ways of looking at this. You're right that they knew that vote wouldn't go anywhere in the Senate, making it just a symbolic payoff to the Tea Partiers. At the same time, that looks doubly suicidal: they cast a damaging vote without getting any of the policy payoff for it. Democrats at least got health care reform.

Former KS BOE member: schools funded adequately
Sep 21, 2013 | News, Schools |
A former Kansas State Board of Education member is telling the courts that Kansas public schools aren't strapped for cash.
Walt Chappell, Wichita, served on the state school board from 2009 to 2012 and recently wrote an amicus brief supporting the Kansas Legislature's school funding formula.
The Gardner Edgerton School District is more than four dozen Kansas public schools suing the state for underfunding public education. A district court ruled in their favor in January, and now the matter is before the Supreme Court.
The January ruling requires the legislature to raise the base state aid per pupil from $3,383 to $4,492. The increase would cost the state more than $437 million.
The state appealed the ruling.
In his brief, Chappell suggests the justices should rule against the school districts and find savings elsewhere. He urges that judges instead order the legislature to consolidate the state's 286 districts into about 40, and change funding for at-risk students in order to garner savings. His brief also requests a ban on Common Core standards.

When Atticus Edmunds hit the skate park with his dad, dropping in and swooping up the walls, the joy on his face is like that of any other kid. But Edmunds' skating is unique— the 8-year-old has cerebral palsy and requires a wheelchair. His dad pushes him through the park, running to pick up speed.
The video has started going viral, generating over 40,000 views to date.
For Atticus, who lives in Sacramento, Calif., skating relieves his cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that affects body movement and muscle coordination.
Atticus was born at 28 weeks, weighing only 2 pounds, 3 ounces, she added.
Visiting the skate park helps Atticus feel like other kids.
"It gives him an opportunity to do things that other kids do instead of having him sit on the sidelines and watching," his dad, Jared Edmunds, told ABC10.
The boy's daring nature has led other skaters to see him as a skater first, a kid in a wheelchair second, Tresa said.
Since the video was posted on January 3 and spread on social media, Tresa has received messages of support. In a post on her blog, she said that Atticus is an extremely shy child, but the positive response they've received to the video has boosted his confidence.
"You all gave him faith in himself," she wrote.

12 February 2019 Venue Alexandra Stadium Attendance
BIG MATCH PREVIEW: A look ahead to Tuesday night's game
We take a closer look at our next opponents
United travel to Gresty Road on Tuesday night to face another of the division's in-form teams in their rearranged fixture.
The Alex are in confident mood with three straight victories and Saturday's thrilling away draw at Macclesfield under their belts and, sitting nine points outside the play-off places, they'll be looking to mount a late run on the top seven spots with just 15 games left to go.
Brad Walker left Gresty Road to join Shrewsbury for an undisclosed fee earlier in the January transfer window - he has since resumed his loan spell with Wrexham - but defenders Jamie Sterry [Newcastle United] and Aaron Taylor-Sinclair [Motherwell] have been added to the ranks on loan deals to bolster the squad.
Goals have started to flow for the Alex recently and Charlie Kirk (7), Jordan Bowery (7), Chris Porter (7), Callum Ainley (4) and James Jones (4) have notched up 29 strikes between them, demonstrating that net-hitters can be found right across the park.
Set pieces are particularly potent, with Crewe building up a reputation for being dangerous from free kicks and corners.
Speaking ahead of the midweek game, manager Steven Pressley said: "We're coming up against a team in Crewe that's won three of their last four games, and their unbeaten run was continued in a tough game against Macclesfield on Saturday.
"They've won five out of their last eight and they've beaten, on that journey, four of the top teams.
"Make no mistake, this is a really tough game, but we've got to go down there with the mindset that we're there to put an end to their run whilst, at the same time, doing everything we can to keep ours going.
"That has to be our approach and our goal. It's a real challenge for us but if we really are serious about what we want to achieve then we have to go there looking to put an end to their run of games."
+ Crewe's first cup success actually came in the Welsh Cup, which they won in 1936 and 1937 before being banned from the competition.
+ In 1995, the Railwaymen went 56 games without winning away from home, until a 1-0 win at Southport stopped the rot.
The sides have met regularly over the years – 90 times in total – with United having won 40 of those encounters to Crewe's 36.

We were last at Gresty Road in November for a first round FA Cup meeting. The Blues missed a penalty, but won the game in dramatic fashion when keeper Ben Garratt got his bearings wrong as he smashed a poor clearance right at Jamie Devitt in time added on. The shocked stopper could do nothing as the rebound found its way into his bottom corner.
Our first meeting this term was at the end of August, just five games into the current campaign. It was a match of ups and downs for the Blues as they played good football, with Hope and Yates going close early. The down side for the Blues was the loss of Grainger and Fryer to injury, but Ashley Nadesan left everyone smiling when he grabbed the winner and his first goal of the season with 20 minutes left to play.
Last season went the way of the Blues with goals from Danny Grainger [2], Reggie Lambe and Hallam Hope added to by an own goal from former-Carlisle centre back Michael Raynes, which combined to give United a comfortable 5-0 away victory back in September.
The home game in January was a much closer affair, with a late strike from Sam Cosgrove the difference between the sides.
Our referee for this game is Mr Paul Marsden. Mr Marsden has been in charge of 25 games so far this season, showing 70 yellow cards and six reds.
He made the step up to the EFL list this season and this is our first fixture with him as our man in the middle.

MATCH REPORT: Crewe 2 - 1 United
Report from the Tuesday night away gam
United and Crewe finally met for a third time this season when the Blues travelled to Gresty Road on Tuesday night.
The team was unchanged in terms of personnel from Saturday, but there was a switch in tactics as Hope was given the central striking role, with Devitt pushing out wider to the left.
It was a disastrous start for the visitors as, having kept the ball well through the opening two minutes, they were undone when they gave it away cheaply on the half way line. Bowery spread it wide and a stunning low cross was met on the full by Porter, just six yards from the target. Collin could do nothing as it smashed into his net.
Crewe tails were up and Porter was dangerous again when he trapped a fizzed ball with his instep just inside the box. He spun to cross quickly, but a vital block was made by Collin. More danger came when Bowery sparked a move from left to right across the face of the box moments later. Ainley whisked a cross for Porter to challenge for, but the flag went up for offside.
United looked to get their passing game going and they had the Alex penned back as they probed for a way through with Slater, Thomas and Miller putting the ball to feet. Parkes came forward out of the centre circle and he used the space in front of him to line up a shot. He caught it well but it took a deflection and was easy for Garratt to save.
Things got worse for the Cumbrians on 16 minutes when Perry Ng went down in front of the technical areas as he came under pressure from Devitt. The midfielder appeared to try to kick the ball into space and get on with the game, as the defender curled up and held onto it, but Ng put his hands to his face and the referee sprinted over to calm things down as a melee ensued. After a long chat with the fourth official Mr Marsden called Devitt over and produced a straight red card.
The ten men had to reshuffle, and Nathan Thomas was sacrificed as Gary Liddle came on to form a three man back line. Gary Miller and Danny Grainger pushed forward on the flanks leaving Hope to plough a lone furrow up front.
Carlisle equalised in stunning fashion when determination in the middle of the park saw Etuhu come away with the ball. He spotted Gary Miller racing forward on the overlap and the right back marked career appearance number 350 with his first goal for the club - a stunning low drive which buried itself into the bottom corner.
It was an equal contest leading up to the half time break, as both sides sprayed the ball around, but chances were few and far between as the defences stayed tight. A free kick from Grainger in time added on was met on the full by Gerrard but he couldn't keep it down and it flew over the bar.
Wintle drilled a low volley wide at the other end, when a half clearance bobbled his way, and Collin had to tip a clipped effort from Bowery over the target inside the third minute of additional time. The Blues cleared the corner and it was honours even as the teams made their way down the tunnel.
It was cat and mouse with more good possession football played by both outfits after the break, particularly in the middle third.
And it was Carlisle who fashioned the first real opening of the period on 54 minutes when Slater took the ball off Green midway inside the home half. Hope took over, and slid it through for O'Hare, but he had to stretch and he could only find the side netting.
Crewe responded with a quick break which brought a cross from Kirk. Porter threw himself at it but Collin kept his eye on the close range header and he gathered it comfortably. Kirk then had his celebrations cut short when he pulled off his marker to receive a neat through ball. He rattled a powerful effort into the top corner but the flag was up for offside.
A charged down clearance from Pickering rebounded kindly for Hope as United kept getting forward, and the striker went for an early shot as he spotted a gap. Garratt scrambled quickly to pluck it out of the air.
Grainger put a shot from Ng behind as he blocked with his head, but it was always going to be difficult for the Crewe man as he tried his luck from a tight angle.
United survived an unbelivable scare on 67 minutes when a high ball from Ng dropped to Green on the penalty spot. His first volley was blocked by Gerrard and Collin produced a magnificent save to deny him again when he thundered a rasper at the bottom corner from the same distance.
Carlisle were architects of their own downfall midway through the half when they failed to deal with a cross into the box. The attempted clearance sat up nicely for former-Blue Shaun Miller and he had the simple task of tapping it under the advancing keeper and into the net.
Deliveries from Scougall caused problems late in the day, as United sent men forward, and Hope was a whisker away when he was picked out by a raking pass from Etuhu. His header had power but it was always dipping wide.
Crewe saw the game out, as United took risks with three up top, and blue shirts packed the box when a Grainger corner dropped long in time added on. Adam Collin was up for it, and hearts were in mouths as Crewe broke. Regan Slater sprinted back to make the clearance and to protect the empty net.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Oil prices rose for a fourth day on Wednesday, holding firm despite an industry report showing that U.S. inventories rose unexpectedly last week, with supply cuts and sanctions supporting the market.
Brent futures rose 22 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $69.59 a barrel by 0028 GMT, after earlier reaching $69.68, the highest since Nov. 13. The global benchmark closed half a percent higher on Tuesday.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 6 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $62.64 cents a barrel. On Tuesday, the contract rose 1.61 percent, to settle at $62.58 a barrel, after touching $62.75, its highest level since Nov. 7.
"With output falling for a fourth month thanks to continued OPEC production cuts and sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, oil prices are well supported," Fiona Cincotta, senior market analyst at Cityindex said in a note.
"On the demand side, easing economic slowdown fears are also offering support," she said.
"In November, we granted eight oil waivers to avoid a spike in the price of oil. I can confirm today three of those importers are now at zero," Brian Hook, the special U.S. envoy for Iran, told reporters, without identifying the countries.

Oney, E. 2019. A Comparative Analysis of the Fermentation Capabilities of Various Bifidobacterium Strains. Undergraduate Honors Thesis. University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Bifidobacterium is a genus of anaerobic bacteria that are commonly found to inhabit the gastrointestinal tract of many members of the animal kingdom. These microorganisms are adapted to obtain their carbon from the breakdown of complex carbohydrates. Marmosets, a mammal whose gut microbiome is inhabited by high levels of Bifidobacteria, consume gum Arabic as a major part of their diet. The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether Bifidobacterium strains isolated from the guts of marmosets are able to degrade and ferment this complex carbohydrate or one of its main constituents, arabinose. This was accomplished by inoculating isolates of Bifidobacterium species into tubes containing basal MRS medium supplemented with gum Arabic or arabinose and monitoring pH (color change) over time. Each of the 12 marmoset-derived isolates were tested in liquid media containing either 5% arabinose, 3% gum Arabic, or 1% gum Arabic. A positive phenotype indicating fermentation of the substrate was visualized by a shift in the media's color from purple to yellow. The fermentative capabilities of the marmoset strains were then compared to 13 other Bifidobacterium strains that were isolated from other mammals such as rats, pigs, and humans. Two strains from each group expressed a negative phenotype for arabinose, while all other strains were positive. In the marmoset group, 6 of the strains expressed positive phenotypes for the 1% gum and 8 were positive for the 3% concentration. The group of strains from non-marmoset origins sported 5 positive phenotypes for the 1% concentration of gum Arabic, while 6 strains tested positive for the 3% concentration.

Verstappen closes out F1 2020 with dominant Abu Dhabi GP win
World 13 December 2020 21:58 (UTC+04:00)
Red Bull's Max Verstappen took his second win of the 2020 Formula 1 season at Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, as the expected challenge from Mercedes failed to materialize, Trend reports citing Xinhua.
In a typically processional affair at the Yas Marina Circuit, the Dutchman led every lap from pole position and was never threatened as he cruised to a surprisingly easy victory in F1's final race of 2020.
"It was really enjoyable yesterday already and today, of course. We had a good start and from there on, of course you look after the tyres, but the car was having a good balance," Verstappen said.
"It was really enjoyable out there today. We did everything alright. Once you start up front you can control the race a bit more and it makes your life easier."
After Verstappen came the Mercedes duo of Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, neither of whom appeared to have the pace to challenge the dominant Verstappen - an unusual outcome at a circuit where Mercedes have won every race since the start of F1's turbo-hybrid era in 2014.

The job market looks sunny for new college graduates: unemployment is low, openings are high, and the economy continues its long march to recovery.
Now, as recent graduates start to send out resumes for the first time, two things will help new candidates stand out, according to new research. Excellent grades and lots of internships.
A team of researchers at Mount Holyoke College, a liberal arts school for women in South Hadley, Mass., analyzed the career outcomes of 1,800 graduates from the 2013, 2014, and 2015 classes. They found that six months after graduation, students with a high GPA (3.75 or above) and with multiple internships under their belt, were more likely to find employment.
In some cases, the two qualifications actually worked in tandem. Participation in at least one summer internship increased a student's likelihood of attaining a higher GPA — and influenced other positive, career-seeking behaviors, like using the career development center, researchers say.
"We see students coming back from internships with a better understanding of whether or not they want to continue in a field, but also knowing what skills they need to build," Liz Lierman, co-author of the study, told the Wall Street Journal.
It's worth mentioning that, in 2014, Mount Holyoke implemented a universal internship program that gives students a minimum $3,000 stipend for unpaid internships they obtain. After that program was implemented, the number of students who graduated with at least one internship went up, as did their GPAs.
Still, researchers contend, students with paid internships are twice as likely to take on multiple internships than students with college-funded ones.
Paid interns have better job prospects, too. Previous research from Georgetown University found that 63% of college graduates who completed a paid internship got a job offer after six months, compared to 37% of unpaid interns and 35% of students who didn't have one at all.
Got internship questions? Here's a handy guide on how to find one – and how to get the most from the experience.
