Rep. Hewitt: Southern Evacuation Lifeline and Georgetown Bypass merit higher priority in regional transportation plan
MURRELLS INLET -- State Rep. Lee Hewitt, R-Murrells Inlet, Wednesday said that a Grand Strand transportation plan needs to give a higher priority to the Southern Evacuation Lifeline road project and Georgetown Bypass to reduce traffic congestion and expedite hurricane evacuations, particularly for the Waccamaw Neck area of Georgetown County.
In a letter to the Grand Strand Area Transportation Study on their draft 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Hewitt wrote “Concerns about transportation, particularly growing traffic congestion on the Waccamaw Neck and hurricane evacuation needs, are among the top issues I hear about from constituents. Development of the Southern Evacuation Lifeline road project and a bypass around the city of Georgetown must be given a much higher priority in the transportation plan.”
Hewitt cites studies by SCDOT and the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce that say the SELL project will reduce traffic congestion, improve road network efficiency and significantly expedite hurricane evacuations, particularly for Georgetown County.
“With the soon to be completed widening of Hwy 707 and the upcoming extension of Hwy 31 to North Carolina, traffic from these two roads will flow into Murrells Inlet and the Waccamaw Neck,” Hewitt said. “There needs to be traffic relief valves for the Waccamaw Neck in the form of the SELL and Georgetown Bypass.”
“The SELL and Georgetown Bypass road projects are vital to reducing traffic congestion and vastly expediting hurricane evacuations. On behalf of my constituents, I ask that GSATS give these projects a much higher priority in the transportation plan,” Hewitt wrote.
The SELL is a proposed 28-mile controlled access highway connecting Hwy 31 with U.S. 378 that would improve access across the Waccamaw River between Conway and Georgetown.
The plan places the SELL and Georgetown Bypass near the bottom of the prioritization list for S.C. roads in the GSATS planning area.
GSATS coordinates federally mandated urban transportation planning and is governed by a 24-person policy committee, with representatives from jurisdictions and transportation agencies from Brunswick County, N.C. to Georgetown.
The 30-day comment period on the plan ends Friday.
Hewitt, a Murrells Inlet Realtor, serves on the GSATS policy committee and was a member of the SELL Task Force.
Hewitt serves on the House Agricultural, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee and Environmental Affairs Subcommittee, Opioid Abuse Prevention Study Committee and Offshore Drilling Ad-Hoc Committee.
He is also a former S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control board member.
MURRELLS INLET – State Rep. Lee Hewitt, R-Murrells Inlet, Monday sent a letter to the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management expressing his opposition to offshore oil and gas drilling off South Carolina. Hewitt’s letter emphatically says “sooner or later” an oil spill disaster will harm the coast and asks that S.C. offshore waters be removed from consideration from any offshore oil and gas leasing plan proposal.
“Tourism produces as much as $19 billion annually and provides one in ten South Carolinians jobs. We cannot afford to risk harming such a major part of our economy by effectively playing Russian roulette with oil rigs off our coast,” Hewitt says in his letter to BOEM Acting Director Dr. Walter Cruickshank. “Sooner or later our coast will catch a bullet in the form of a major oil spill disaster.”
“It is clear the coastal areas of South Carolina are very concerned about the impacts of oil spills on the beaches, marine life and the tourism industry, and understandably have taken strong positions opposing drilling,” continued Hewitt. “There is no way offshore oil and gas drilling can be conducted that will guarantee no oil spills and no resulting environmental and economic disasters.”
All of the municipalities in Hewitt’s coastal district along Georgetown and Charleston counties – Pawleys Island, McClellanville, Awendaw and Mt. Pleasant – have gone on record as opposing offshore oil and gas drilling. Last week, the Georgetown County Council unanimously passed a resolution opposing drilling.
“On behalf of my constituents, I oppose oil and gas development off the South Carolina coast, as well as all waters of the Atlantic in the 2019-2024 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program and ask that the Atlantic be excluded from the program,” Hewitt wrote.
In late April, President Trump signed an Executive Order implementing an offshore energy strategy that includes oil and gas drilling in the Atlantic, overturning President Obama’s decision to exclude the Atlantic from drilling.
On July 3rd, the BOEM began a 45-day comment period on a new oil and gas leasing program that includes the Atlantic. The comment period will close on August 17th.
Hewitt, a Murrells Inlet Realtor, was appointed in May to the state House Offshore Drilling Ad-Hoc Committee that will make recommendations concerning oil and gas drilling off South Carolina.
Hewitt serves on the House Agricultural, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee and Environmental Affairs Subcommittee and House Opioid Abuse Prevention Study Committee.
He is also a former S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control board member.
I wanted you to know that while the legislative session is over, I’m still busy representing the district.
Last month, I was honored to be with McClellanville Mayor Rut Leland and his wife Kathy at the unveiling of his portrait at town hall. Mayor Leland is the longest serving mayor in S.C. history, having served for over 41 years so far. I’m proud that he’s a constituent of mine and appreciate the outstanding job he does for the town and coastal area.
Also last month, I was pleased to be named a “Business Champion” by the S.C. Chamber of Commerce, who gave me a 100 score on their latest legislative scorecard. I’m one of only 24 in the 124-member House to receive their highest score.
This month, I met with Army Corps of Engineers officials about the upcoming renourishment project for 7.5 miles of beaches in North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, Surfside and Garden City. The project got accelerated due to contractor availability and is now starting this week in Surfside Beach.
While we’re very appreciative of the needed beach renourishment, I shared with the Corps my concerns about the impacts of the work on visitors this summer. It looks like the impacts on Georgetown County tourism will be less, as the project is not scheduled to start in Garden City until after Labor Day.
Last week, I got a chance to meet with Horry-Georgetown Tech president Dr. Murph Fore at the unveiling of the design plans for the Advanced Manufacturing Center for the Georgetown campus. The center will offer training in advanced welding, CNC machine tool, robotics and the mechantronics programs – skilled jobs that employers are having a hard time filling. I appreciate the great job Dr. Fore and HGTC are doing in providing much needed training for our workforce.
I was in Greenville last Wednesday as a member of the House Opioid Abuse Prevention Study Committee for our first public hearing, which was well attended. We heard compelling testimony about this addiction epidemic from parents who lost children to overdoses, law enforcement officers and addiction counselors.
This bipartisan committee is working to find legislative ways to help fight addiction and curb the hundreds of opioid-related overdose deaths in the state. We’ve got to conquer this problem as soon as possible.
I’m privileged to represent District 108 in the House! Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Rep. Lee Hewitt
After casting over 700 votes, my first session as a member of the House of Representatives is likely over for this year after the House approved the state budget on June 6th on a 100 to 9 vote.
Gov. McMaster vetoed a little over $56 million in spending from the budget, of which $20.5 million was for new school buses. While I may vote to sustain some of the Governor’s vetoes when the House returns in January, I can’t support his veto of the school bus funding in light of the fire hazard of our aging bus fleet.
According to a recent report in The State, “Seventeen buses have caught fire or dangerously overheated since August 2015…some with children aboard.” We’ve got to fix this problem.
On June 9th, the S.C. Business and Industry Political Education Committee, a statewide pro-business group, issued their scorecard on how each House member voted on business related legislation for the session. I’m pleased to report I scored in the top 25 percent of the House.
Speaking of business, last week I sent a letter to the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council in opposition to their proposal to limit the number of charter and head boats that can participate in the snapper-grouper fishery. There simply isn’t any scientific justification for this action and it’s clear the overwhelming majority of fishermen oppose this.
In my youth, I worked as a deckhand on numerous charter and head boats out of Murrells Inlet, so I’m very familiar with the business and its economic importance to the inlet and the district as a whole.
And finally, congratulations to Dr. Gerald Harmon for his election last week as chairman of the American Medical Association, the largest physicians group in the country. Dr. Harmon has practiced medicine in Georgetown County for over 30 years and will do a great job at the national level leading the AMA.
It’s an honor to serve in the House. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Rep. Lee Hewitt
Offshore drilling is making waves at the State House.
Last week the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee created an ad hoc group to research and study whether or not offshore drilling and seismic testing is right for South Carolina.
“It’s more of a task force than a committee,” state Rep. Lee Hewitt said. He was appointed to the group last week, and is the only representative from a coastal district.
“I’ve been clear in my opposition to offshore drilling off our coast based on what I’ve heard from my constituents, particularly the municipalities I represent,” he said. “I look forward to bringing this perspective to the committee to ensure our coast is protected from a drilling disaster.”
Since the group is new, it will likely not meet until late summer or early fall, and Hewitt is speculative about what the committee will study. “The way it was explained to us was that South Carolina has kind of been told that within the next five years there’s going to be a bull’s-eye on this area and on this subject and that we just need to start exploring and studying it,” Hewitt said. “And trying to do the best we can to protect South Carolina.”
The state’s territorial rights over the ocean extend approximately 3 nautical miles offshore, as measured at mean low tide. The federal government owns mile 3 to mile 200 and has jurisdiction to determine whether or not to lease the area for exploration and drilling.
In 2015, state Department of Health and Environmental Control made an agreement with the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, part of the Department of the Interior, to grant restricted seismic testing permits to applicants. The agreement was reached without a public hearing, prompting a challenge from the Coastal Conservation League, the S.C. Wildlife Federation and others. The decision was appealed to the DHEC board, but they supported the staff’s decision, Hewitt said.
One permit for testing, submitted by Spectrum GEO, was approved at the state level.
Hewitt was a member of the DHEC board in 2015. “Basically a compromise was reached,” he said. “The feeling was that having a restricted permit was better than having an unrestricted permit.”
The agreement happened in the midst of the Obama administration’s review of the South Atlantic region. South Carolina was not included as part of the administration’s protected coastline, but it did later deny six permits for drilling. Current Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke stated he is reviewing the area for the 2017-2022 Outer Continental Shelf program. That action could put the BOEM-DHEC agreement back in play.
The agreement restricts seismic testing from being conducted in water shallower than 98 feet, less than 40 miles off the coast, between April-September due to sea turtle nesting season, and in designated Marine Protected Areas.
Hewitt’s district extends from Murrells Inlet to Dewees Island in Charleston County. He has some ideas about what legislators can do to serve constituents on this issue even if the drilling is out of their hands. “There are other things in the actual drilling that could possibly affect South Carolina,” he said. “The support services and everything that’s needed to support the industry, whatever rules and regulations. I would assume those ideas would be brought up and areas of concern that we need to be looking at.”
Other members of the ad hoc committee represent Greenville, Spartanburg, Berkeley, Aiken, Pickens, Florence, Cherokee and Calhoun counties.
I hope you and your family enjoyed the Memorial Day holiday.
A lot has happened since the adjournment of the House of Representatives.
Last week I was honored to be appointed to the House Offshore Drilling Ad-Hoc Committee that will consider the issue of oil and gas drilling off South Carolina.
I’ve been clear about my opposition to offshore oil drilling off our state based on what I’ve heard from constituents. All the municipalities in the district have gone on record opposing drilling. I’m glad to have a voice at the table and will work to ensure the committee is well aware of the concerns of the coastal area about an oil spill disaster that could greatly harm our beaches, marine life and tourism industry. Click here for the news release.
On May 19th, Gov. McMaster signed into law the flounder sustainability bill I cosponsored that unanimously passed the House and Senate. It increases the minimum size limit to 15” and reduces the per person limit to 10 fish per day and boat limit to 20 fish per day and will go into effect on July 1st.
The House was scheduled to go back in session last week to consider the state budget and any vetoes from the governor, but because the House and Senate conference committee has been unable to find a compromise on the budget bill, we’re now scheduled to go back in session next week, June 6-8.
Big differences remain between the House and Senate on how to bail out the underfunded pension system and on funding for education and aid to local governments. The Senate has passed a resolution funding state government at current levels in the event a compromise can’t be reached by the July 1st start of the fiscal year. While I’m hopeful a compromise can be reached next week, the House may have to sign off on the stopgap funding legislation.
On Monday, I’ll have the privilege of being in Charleston to tour the Boeing plant and Port of Charleston facilities – both big economic drivers for the district and state.
I was pleased the Army Corps of Engineers last week agreed to provide $17.5 million for the dredging of Charleston Harbor – the final piece of funding needed for the $525 million project to accommodate the very large neo-Panamax container ships and keep the port as a leader in tonnage on the East coast.
I hope this information is helpful.
It’s an honor to serve in the House. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Rep. Lee Hewitt
MURRELLS INLET – State Rep. Lee Hewitt, R-Georgetown, has been appointed to a House committee that will study offshore oil and gas drilling and make recommendations concerning drilling off South Carolina.
“I’m honored to serve on this very important committee,” Hewitt said. “I’ve been clear in my opposition to offshore drilling off our coast based on what I’ve heard from my constituents, particularly the municipalities I represent. I look forward to bringing this perspective to the committee to ensure our coast is protected from a drilling disaster.”
Hewitt was notified of his appointment to the House Offshore Drilling Ad-Hoc Committee in a letter this week from House Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Environmental Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. David Hiott, R-Pickens.
In the letter Hiott said, “Offshore drilling is an important issue and several bills have already been introduced. This issue will attract national attention and call for concern from across the state.”
All of the municipalities in Hewitt’s coastal district – Pawleys Island, McClellanville, Awendaw and Mt. Pleasant – have passed resolutions opposing offshore oil drilling.
According to media reports, all of the current mayors of South Carolina coastal cities and towns have taken positions opposing drilling.
“The coastal areas of South Carolina are very concerned about the impacts of oil spills on the beaches, marine life and the tourism industry, and understandably have taken strong positions opposing drilling,” Hewitt said. “My job is to convey these concerns to the committee and work toward an outcome that protects our natural resources and coastal economy.”
Last month President Trump signed an executive order expanding oil and gas drilling in the Atlantic Ocean, overturning President Obama’s withdrawal of the Atlantic and other areas from drilling consideration.
Hewitt, a freshman legislator, serves on the House Agricultural, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee and the Environmental Affairs Subcommittee. Last month Hewitt was appointed by House Speaker Jay Lucas to the House Opioid Abuse Prevention Study Committee.
Hewitt is also a former S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control board member.
The final week of the legislative session began with the first meeting of the House Opioid Abuse Prevention Study Committee on Tuesday morning. House Speaker Jay Lucas gave us our marching orders: find legislative ways to help fight addiction and curb the hundreds of opioid-related overdose deaths in the state. The 16-member bipartisan committee will be working through the summer and fall to find solutions. Click here for media coverage.
The gas tax road infrastructure bill dominated the week.
I voted for the bill negotiated by the House and Senate conference committee because it significantly increases funding for County Transportation Committees. When fully implemented, Georgetown and Charleston counties will receive an additional $1.2 million and $5.8 million respectively per year for local roads. Additionally, the bill reforms the DOT commission, makes commissioners accountable to the governor and provides some tax relief. We’ll also get the benefit of visitors to the state generating about a third of the tax revenues annually.
I’m pleased to report that the flounder sustainability bill, H. 3665, I cosponsored unanimously passed the Senate on Tuesday and now heads to Gov. McMaster for his signature as law. The bill increases the minimum size limit to 15” and reduces the per person limit to 10 fish per day and boat limit to 20 fish per day. My thanks to all the fishermen who helped get this bill passed to maintain a healthy flounder stock.
On Wednesday, as part of the freshman House caucus, I got a chance to meet with S.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Don Beatty and tour the court. It was a great learning experience to hear Justice Beatty discuss the court system and its funding, caseloads and important qualifications to consider of judicial candidates.
While the legislative session ended last week, a special three day session May 23-25 will take place to approve a state budget and consider any vetoes from the governor.
Today, Monday, May 15th, I’ll be a part of a road infrastructure discussion panel at the East Cooper Republican Club luncheon meeting at noon at the Holiday Inn, 250 Johnnie Dodds Blvd., in Mount Pleasant. I hope you can attend. Please click here for more details.
I’m privileged to serve in the House and represent the citizens of District 108! Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
Rep. Lee Hewitt
Last week in the House was hectic with efforts to vote on bills that came over from the Senate.
One of the Senate bills we dealt with is the gas tax road infrastructure bill, which differed significantly from our House bill. The House voted against the Senate bill, forcing a conference committee of House and Senate members to work on a compromise.
Late Friday the conference committee reached an agreement that would raise the gas tax by 12 cents over six years, increase car registration fees and sales tax, provide some offsetting tax credits and reductions, and change the way the DOT commission is appointed.
In March, I voted for the House bill after a portion of the tax increase was designated for County Transportation Committees to help upgrade our local roads and Georgetown County remained a “recipient” gas tax county under the bill. It’s estimated the legislation would provide Georgetown County with over $1 million a year in extra CTC funds. So this week I’ll be looking hard at the details of the compromise gas tax legislation to ensure District 108 is treated fairly.
On Thursday, I voted for a Senate bill that passed the House 95-2, which allows out of season shellfish harvesting in mariculture operations that involve the controlled cultivation of oysters and other shellfish. The bill should enhance the availability of fresh local seafood.
Also on Thursday, the legislature recognized and honored the teachers of the year from each school district. It was my privilege to meet Georgetown County School District teacher of the year Ashton Goretzke, who teaches language arts and social studies at Waccamaw Middle School. I greatly appreciate the hard work and dedication of Ashton and her fellow teachers.
This final week of the legislative session begins with the first meeting of the House Opioid Abuse Prevention Study Committee on Tuesday morning. I was appointed to the committee by House Speaker Jay Lucas. This summer and fall we’ll be working to find legislative ways to help fight addiction and curb the hundreds of opioid-related overdose deaths in the state. I look forward to taking on this very important task.
I’m privileged to serve in the House. Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
Rep. Lee Hewitt
The last two weeks in the House of Representatives was filled with meetings with constituent groups and committee meetings on bills that have come over from the Senate.
On Tuesday I was honored to meet with members of the Georgetown County Board of Education, including Superintendent Dr. Randy Dozier, to discuss education issues. I appreciate their hard work for our students.
Georgetown County Board of Education members Elery Little, Johnny Wilson, Richard Kerr, Sandra Johnson, and Sarah Elliott and Superintendent Dr. Randy Dozier with me in my Columbia office.
Also on Tuesday, I was pleased to meet with the leadership of the Coastal Carolina Association of REALTORS, who brought their concerns to the State House.
With just six legislative days left in the House session, the focus has been on getting Senate bills through committee hearings and on to the floor for votes. The most important pieces of Senate legislation we now have are the state budget and gas tax bills, which differ substantially from the House versions. These bills will be in a conference committee of House and Senate members to try and work out the differences before they go to floor votes.
Likewise, the focus in the Senate is getting House legislation to the Senate floor for votes. I’m pleased to report that the flounder sustainability bill, H. 3665, I cosponsored, that unanimously passed the House, was reported favorably out of the Senate Fish, Game and Forestry Committee and should be up for a floor vote soon. The bill increases the minimum size limit to 15” and reduces the per person limit to 10 fish per day and boat limit to 20 fish per day. I’m hopeful it will pass the Senate and become law.
And finally, last week I was honored to be appointed by House Speaker Jay Lucas to the Opioid Abuse Prevention Study Committee to “identify legislative solutions to help combat addiction and curb the hundreds of opioid-related overdose deaths in the state.” Click here for media coverage.
I’m a cosponsor of a package of bills aimed at this addiction problem. According to the latest statistics, nearly as many people die in South Carolina from opioid abuse as die in car crashes. We’ve got to conquer this problem as soon as possible.
It’s an honor and privilege to serve in the House. Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
Rep. Lee Hewitt

Obx can only use 2.5” exhaust. They gained 41hp and 73tq to the rear wheels over stock.
The jba reduced et by .9 where the obx reduced it by .4
Thank you again DD. Maybe OBX’s being locked into a 2.5 hurts?
I keep thinking about this. If an OBX tri-y had the flange modified at the 3rd Y-merge to go from a 2.5” to a 3” diameter, and a flange welded in that spot, could a 3” dual set up be put in place that might have power closer to the JBA’s? Then, all four converters (modified for 3” all the way) could also be placed in a close-to-stock position (for all us California guys). Can ya’ relate to my curiosity on this?

Piedmont Natural Gas Nc Rebate – The idea of gasoline rebate cards is on the table in Washington for several months, and has potential to provide households with financial relief, especially considering the fact that gas prices increased to $5 per gallon last week. However there is a White House official says the Biden administration is not advocating to introduce such a scheme, due to the fact that it would be difficult to run and requires Congressional approval. The gas rebate card might be a great temporary solution, but there are several challenges that need to solved before it can become real for American consumers.
Piedmont Natural Gas Nc Rebate from Federal Government
The federal government hasn’t taken up the Gas Rebate Bill in 2022, however they are considering plans. Some cities and states have implemented legislation in this regard. Inflation rebates are meant to aid citizens price increases. While not a federal program, many of these rebates are issued by state governments based on surpluses. Federal government officials should look into such a program for a practical way to combat the current high prices for gasoline and other goods.
Certain states have attempted to lower their gas taxes and are currently considering offering refunds to residents. Certain states, such as New York, are considering eliminating the gas tax entirely or offering a small discount. Governor Andrew Cuomo has also suggested tax cuts for renters or homeowners who pay for gas over an amount that is higher than the federal minimum. He has even proposed reducing the tax on gas by half when the average price of fuel that is not leaded reaches $4.51 a gallon in the summer. Some politicians in New York state have also support the idea of suspending state gas tax of 33.3 cents per gallon.
They aren’t available in every state.
While the federal government is not in the process of implementing any type of stimulus package however, state legislators and the President Biden are putting forward various plans for consumers. These proposals include a three month period of a gas tax vacation. As of the end of June no concrete plan is currently being discussed by Congress. It will be some time before gas rebates start rolling out across every state. While President Trump has suggested the idea of a national holiday for gas taxes, he has not found any law that would allow him to fund it.
No matter the politics behind the concept it is one of many ways to assist Americans pay for the cost of gasoline. But, they’ve already received some criticism. Just two months ago House Democratic counsel was critical of the plan, stating it would lead to inflation, was prohibitively expensive, as well as not being targeted properly enough. Before, the top White House aides raised concerns regarding the rebate cards as a result of the dearth of microchips.

I have a special place in my heart for a handful of musicians. It’s the kind of special where they release a new album and you feel like you’ve heard it a million times already. Or where you’d drop everything to see them perform live and you get butterflies in your stomach before they come on stage. Fiona Apple is one of them. My college roommate and best friend introduced her to me back when I was 18 and I still get excited listening to any of her three albums. She recently released a single titled Every Single Night and is her album comes out June 26th. The title? The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do. Um, awesome. I’ve included a video of her live performance at SXSW earlier this year. Her vocal range, energy and facial expressions are wonderful. If you’re not familiar with any of her albums, check her out on Rdio. (Sorry if you don’t have an Rdio account…but you should.)

I created this print for a friend recently. She commissioned me to create seven unique and original prints for her and her boyfriend’s living room. I can’t wait to see a photo of them all framed and arranged! This print is what inspired me to create this free wallpaper for download. I printed extras so if you want one, comment below! The first five comments requesting one will receive it via snail mail! Or if you’re in the Columbus area, let’s get Jeni’s and make the exchange!
I’m pretty excited for the 3-day weekend! My family will be visiting (I haven’t seen my parents since Christmas!) and we have a few cookouts as well. I have a feeling it will be a lot of fun and a little work. What are your plans for the weekend?
Today’s City Guide is brought to you by Hannah DeMilta who lives in Sydney, Australia! Enjoy!
Sydney is made up of the best of two different worlds in my mind – a modern gorgeous city paired with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I spend most of my time caught up in that busy city life, but still enjoy that short escape on weekends to be by the ocean. It makes me feel lucky to live here.
One of my favourite (and free) things to do on a weekend is the Coastal Walk from Bondi Beach to Coogeee. If you take your time, and stop for pictures on your iPhone it’s about a 90 minute walk. You’ll see Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte, Clovelly, and Coogee beaches. You can see whales off the coast depending on the season, and sometimes dolphins too.
A great time for the coastal walk is every spring (October through November) when they have the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibit. They bring in more than 100 funky sculptures and incorporate them into the landscape and walk. It’s a fantastic reason for the coastal walk and recommend it if you’re in town.
One of my favourite places for food adventures is Sydney’s Chinatown. Perhaps to those who have traveled and lived throughout Asia this wouldn’t be such a novelty. However, for this Midwest gal hailing from Cleveland – discovering things like late night Korean BBQ and trying my first laksa are memories I won’t soon forget. Head over to one of my favourite spots, Mamak for dinner. This Malaysian restaurant has some of the best fried chicken in Sydney, in my opinion, and the Roti is amazing.
You can also stroll through the night markets every Friday in Chinatown. Markets of every variety can be found around Sydney. Some of my favourite include the Paddington Markets (Oxford Street in Paddington) and the weekend markets in The Rocks – theses ones are great for less “touristy” tourist items. There are booths with lots of handmade crafts and jewelry. My cousin got a stitched photobook with a kangaroo on the cover to keep all of the photos from her trip. I’m also a fan of the Finders Keepers markets, held bi-annually at Carriage Works. They feature local art, designers and cool creative projects.
A really beautiful thing about living in Sydney is that you don’t have to struggle to support local business when it comes to dining out. Locally owned is the norm and you often come to know the people working at your local café or pub. One of my current locals is Robocog Café in Surry Hills. They know how to put on a wicked brunch. The Breakfast ‘Berrito’ and Eggs Rusky are my favouirte at the moment, but honestly I’m a fan of most everything I’ve tried so far. I’ve also come to love Robocog for their quirky decor and fabulous customer service, which helps shape the experience.
I’d be steering you wrong if I didn’t recommend at least one venue to grab a cheeky pint while you’re in town. There are many bars, clubs and pubs waiting to be discovered on your visit to Sydney. Some of my favourite small bars to have recently opened include Tio’s, Darlie Laudromatic, and The Baxter Inn, a mysterious whiskey bar hidden in the city. However, for a casual pub with great views, I’d say visit the rooftop bar of the Glenmore in the Rocks. It’s a beautiful spot overlooking the harbour without the touristy crowd (or prices) to accompany it. Enjoy, and cheers mate!
Hannah works in digital marketing and also has fun curating the Sydney edition of The Fetch, a local ‘What’s on’ guide across businesses, digital and creative in your city. Say “hello” on Twitter @HannahDeMilta or follow her ramblings on her blog hannahdemilta.com.

I often read home/DIY blogs (like Young House Love) and want to do everrrry single project. Then I look around at my little one bedroom apartment and realize that I cannot knock down walls or replace the hardwood flooring with something a bit more snazzy (and less scratched). This month while taking on Sarah’s 30 Days to Sanity Challenge, I’ve forced myself to get off my butt and actually try new things. I’ve planted my own herbs and vegetables, I’m creating my own jewelry, I made my first terrarium and now I’m going to tackle more apartment DIY projects. Inspired by some of my favorite bloggers (Delicious Duds and Design Curiosities) I hope to be posting more APARTMENT LIVING DIY posts this summer! I’ve been bored lately with some of my content and I want to get excited about blogging again.
So, with all that said, here is my first DIY! It’s a blatant rip off of Young House Love’s BUT I feel proud that I did it myself and give them total credit for being awesome. This project, in particular, really stuck out to me because it didn’t require me to rewire crap or knock things out. I just unscrewed the ugly, pre-existing fixture and gathered the following supplies:
Adam helped me with a lot of it and said you’ll probably need the appropriate bolts/washers and tools in order to remove your pre-existing fixture and then later attach the lampshade. Below is a BRIEF overview of how it went for me. Please head over to Young House Love to get better instructions and photos (what, you don’t love my yellow tinted iPhone pictures?).
After having created it, I wish our lampshade hung lower so that I didn’t have to glue the second half of the fabric AFTER it was hung. Young House Love explained in their comment section that theirs hung low enough from the ceiling that they were able to glue the entire piece of fabric while on the ground and then screw in the piece afterwards. Oh well! It’s the beauty of apartment living. I will have to rip it down in a year anyways.
Hope you enjoyed my first APARTMENT LIVING DIY! If you have any DIY recommendations or tips when you see my sad attempts…feel free to comment below!
My friend Heather took me to EcoFlora last night for a belated birthday present/terrarium building class! Located in Clintonville (a neighborhood in Columbus), this little shop stole my heart! So many gorgeous flowers, succulents, and jars. My terrarium turned out differently than I had anticipated but I love it. I chose a little succulent and an air plant to top it off. Don’t you like my little bird? Adam and I decided that we’re going to go back for our three year anniversary and make a terrarium together however…I have a feeling I’ll be back multiple times before late June.
I had a great weekend filled with music, friends, film portrait sessions and gardening! I didn’t get to work on my necklaces but I’m going to pick up supplies this week on my lunch break. I got a pedicure (which is such a fun treat) and Adam and I got free tickets to see the Avett Brothers on Saturday night! I also figured I should show you a little preview of the two shoots (both shoots were taking in 85+ degree heat so I commend my clients for looking amazing).
- Name: Ciera Holzenthal
- Age: 29
- Location: Born and raised in New Orleans but have been living in Boston for the past year.
Q. When did you start designing?
A. In high school, I was excepted into the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA). I went to my normal high school for half of each day and NOCCA for the other half to study visual arts. During my time at NOCCA I realized that I could not see myself as a fine artist but I also found that I was very organized and systematic while working on projects. We had a few computer/design sessions and although I was not exactly sure what it was, I knew that I wanted to be a graphic designer! When I went to college, I switched back and forth between design and photography and finally decided to focus on design.
I got a job right out of college at a great advertising agency and gained a lot of experience in my four years there. A time came when I was not learning anything else from being there and rather than looking for a position at another company, I decided to give freelance a go! I have been working for myself full time for almost two years and love it!
Q. What type of work do you get most excited about?
A: I love branding small businesses. Some of my favorite projects are when I design a logo and then get to expand the identity from business cards and websites to posters and invitations. Applying my concept to multiple items in order to create a cohesive brand for a company is really rewarding.
Q. What are your essential tools? What do you love to create with?
A: I always have a sketchbook for brainstorming ideas. I use In Design on my MacBook Pro for almost every design that I create. I am obsessed with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2. I use it to take photos of my work for my portfolio and all of the photographs on my blog. I use Lightroom and Photoshop for editing photos.
Q. Any advice for those looking to start a career in the design world?
A: I definitely recommend gaining in-house or agency experience. Being surrounded by a group of people that you can learn from is great and can really push your boundaries. I would not be where I am today if I would have gone straight to freelancing from college. I learned so much about organization, client relations, presentations, print production and multitasking at my first job!
Q. When did you start your blog (which I love by the way)! Any advice to those looking to start their own blog?
In 2009 I started blogging as basically a photo dump. I would post my iphone photos with a little caption and might expand a little here and there. I knew I wanted to create a portfolio and site that potential clients could check out, so in 2010 I decided to take my blog to the next level. I switched to a self hosted WordPress site and started posting on a regular basis with consistent content. It has been growing ever since into what you see today!
I think the most important advice I can offer for someone wanting to start a blog is to write about what you love and not what you think people want to hear. Blog because you love doing it.
It’s Friday! Hurray! Here are a few links to some of my favorite internet finds this week:
- I was chatting with Erika the other day about swapping design-related books via snail mail. This, this and this are on my list to read.
- This is my new planner. And I love it. SIMPLE AND SWEET.
- New favorite site to buy clothes. 30% new arrivals daily.
- Sherry Turkle talks about why we expect more from technology and less from each other.
- Ready to go mobile?
- RORY GILMORE READING CHALLENGE FTW! Gosh I miss that show.
- How common is your birthday?
- I’m going to make this iced coffee this weekend and drink it allll day.
- Re-evaluate what I’m doing with this blog. I have a few series (City Guides, Here We Go, Photo Challenges) that I love but I’m getting bored. Any tips or suggestions?
- Shoot a roll of film on this camera and this camera. I have TWO photoshoots booked this weekend!
- Watch the Bachelorette on DVR with one of my best friends and eat cheese/wine. Don’t judge.
- Go to garage sales!
- Go to the gym (yeah I do that now…crazy).
- Find some basic tools and materials and make my necklaces! My Japanese vintage beads are amazing.
What are you doing this weekend? SHARE!

Today’s City Guide is brought to you by Fiona of The Corner of the Internet I Call Home!
Trying to create a guide for London without dividing it up somehow was impossible. So many Londoners see the river as a wall; separating the North from the South. I’ve used the same scheme, just for simplicity, but clearly you might want to dip into both parts of the city if you come and visit. Finally, I’ve included the nearest tube stop in square brackets for most destinations – buying an Oyster card and using the tube & bus network is really the only way to see London!
North London contains the larger part of the city, encompassing the West End, the East End, the tourist mecca of Camden, and the beautiful greenery of Regents Park, Hyde Park, Primrose Hill and Hampstead Heath. These areas are typically covered by any tourist guide, and you can lose yourself in these places alone for a good few days!
Starting in Hampstead [Hampstead, Northern Line], you can almost imagine you’re hundreds of miles from London – the windy lanes and traditional English houses make it a lovely place to explore. The main street has become increasingly chain-dominated, but there are still a few antique stalls down Flask Walk which can be fun to browse. Rather than heading back underground, I’d really recommend the walk down the hill to Camden. It takes about an hour, but you can break your journey for lunch in a pub like the Rossyln Arms. It’s an affluent area, and the houses are lovely, and on a sunny day it makes a great little break from the busyness of the centre. Camden [Camden, Northern Line] itself is incredibly touristy, and most places should quite simply be avoided. However, the Stables market is in an amazing building, where the workhorses for the neighbouring canal were housed, so might be worth a peek before you pop back into onto the Underground.
A favourite spot of mine in north London is the Barbican [Moorgate, Northern Line], which divides opinions with its 1960’s architecture. It houses an art gallery, a concert hall, several restaurants and cafes and has a large residential section. It’s rarely busy (which is a welcome break after somewhere like Camden), so you can grab a coffee from the Foodhall and sit by the central pond and admire or despise the towering concrete walls.
From the Barbican, it’s a short (but easily confusing!) walk to Farringdon [Farringdon, Hammermith & City/Circle/Metropolitan lines]. This is a relatively trendy area, with media industry workers spilling out around pubs in the early evening. La Cucina next to Smithfields market, is a small family-run restaurant, and finding better Italian food at that price is near on impossible.
Every area of London has its own nightlife “type”, so it’s worth researching if you’re keen for a particular type of music. My all out favourite pub-venue in the city is the 12 bar on Denmark Street [Tottenham Court Road, Northern/Central lines] where folk, punk, and blues are all equally likely to be played.
The one drawback to south London is the lack of the Underground – only a small percentage of the London Tube stops are south of the river, and instead a network of overground trains and buses connect the area.
If you’re keen enough, getting up early to visit one of the south London markets is an experience far detached from the tourist trail. On a Saturday, Deptford Market [New Cross, Overground or Deptford Bridge, DLR] lines a street with crockery and food stalls, but the real gem is the flea market round the back. Only time-honoured locals are allowed to barter (seriously – I’ve seen people get barred!), but the prices are very cheap. Bermondsey market [short walk from London Bridge, Northern/Jubilee lines] on Friday mornings has a fantastic history, once being the spot where thieves were legally allowed to sell stolen goods. It’s still an amazing antiques market, and the best time to visit is 5am, when the place is bustling with antiques dealers coming to make an offer on all the best goods. If you need your beauty sleep, Borough Market [London Bridge, Northern/Jubilee lines] is a great food market, although years of renown have pushed prices up – still, a venison burger from there is worth every penny! The market runs Thursdays to Saturdays until 5pm, but other days of the week there are still some great permanent shops which make the trip worthwhile.
For the geekier visitor, the tiny Brunel museum [Rotherhide, Overground] is a great stop. Brunel is lorded as one of the greatest Britons ever, having propelled British industrial innovation forward almost singlehandedly. But one of his less known accomplishments is the digging of a tunnel under the Thames which predates the London Underground system significantly. This work of Brunel Sr. and Jr. is the focus of this small museum, and walking tours are available on Tuesdays and Sundays, which take you into part of the original tunnel. They also host some great evening/night activities, which you can find out about here.
One of the most striking silhouettes on the Thames bank is that of Battersea Power Station, decommissioned in the 1980’s, and now used for various events. It’s an iconic building, with a typical 1930’s design. From there, you’re well placed to explore one of the loveliest parks in the city. Battersea Park, unlike Hyde Park and Regents Park which are dominated with tourists, is a park for local people who jog, play football and walk their dogs.
The advantage of the more fractured transport infrastructure in south London is the small “town centres” which were central to the local community back before the general sprawl of London encompassed the areas. Places like Clapham Junction [Clapham Junction, National Rail Station], Wimbledon [Wimbledon, District Line], Dulwich [North Dulwich, National Rail Station] and Putney [East Putney, District Line] have really held onto these areas, and small independent delis, cafes and restaurants thrive off the affluent community. Café Prov [Herne Hill, National Rail Station] and Lolo Rojo [Clapham Junction, National Rail Station] are great for lunch.
The one ‘touristy’ spot in London I can’t get enough of is the South Bank [Waterloo, Northern/Jubilee lines]. The stretch from Waterloo Bridge to London Bridge is rammed with cafes, restaurants and venues. The British Film Institute and the Royal Festival Hall both have great cafes and bars inside, and the Royal Festival Hall often hosts free concerts and recital in the entrance floor, so you can enjoy some live classical music with your wine. Next to these is an open air secondhand bookstall, which you can browse through as you continue your journey downstream. Rather than paying 15 pounds to take the London Eye, the OXO Tower has a free viewing gallery which has a spectacular view at sunset.
This all puts you in walking distance to my favourite restaurant in the world. Brindisa in Borough Market [London Bridge, Northern/Jubilee lines] originally began as a Spanish foods importers, but quickly realised that they had all the ingredients for a fantastic tapas restaurant. You can’t reserve a table, so don’t arrive hungry! Instead, get your name on the chalkboard and grab a bottle of Rioja from the bar and nurse a glass while you wait for a table.

Even simpler than that.
It means the legislative branch, well legislates. The executive branch simply can't make up rules and fines because they want to.
If congress wants to give EPA this power, fine. Give them the power. EPA (and other agencies) can't simply say "We were given power to regulate X, but since Y is close we'll take it upon our self to regulate that too."
As for diesel emissions @Cat sdp it's unlikely. Most (all?) of those standards were passed by congress so are fine under this ruling. For example "The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2010" and "Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2019" among others.

Lee had to put down the Sumatra chick last night as it was very sick. Not such a great night for us here as we were trying to figure out what was going on. So far all the other chicks look and seem healthy.
It had seemed fine until the day before, when we noticed that it spent a lot of time standing in the same spot. We had already noticed that it wasn’t growing much, but attributed it to the breed. Now we feel suspicious that it might not have been eating for some time. Perhaps it ate some of the saw dust we accidentally used as litter and got plugged up?
So, now there are only 11 chicks left and we switched to a medicated food for a few weeks on the off chance that it was Coccidiosis (although there were no warning signs of such). With the loss of our Sumatra the probability of having a male has dropped from 85% to only 70%.

Toys are crucial for any active, playful dog. Not only do they provide entertainment when you’re not in the mood to play yourself, the right ones can be stimulating and challenging for hours, which means we get a break! Below, we’ve rounded up our top four favorites – ones we know pups love time and time again.
First, a note about safety: when buying toys for your furry friend, keep in mind that you want ones that aren’t too small or easily swallowed. Remember, when dogs play with their toys, they’re practicing their prey instinct, and will often try to rip, tear, and pull them apart. The sturdier, the better!
The Kong toy is beloved among pet owners for being durable, long lasting, and versatile. Our favorite use for a Kong is as a treat: stuff it with peanut butter, pop it in the freezer to harden, and give it to Fido before a trip or as you step out of the house. The challenge of licking the hardened peanut butter out of the Kong will keep him stimulated, and if your dog is like every dog we know, he’ll lick every bit of peanut butter until there’s none left!
Stuffing-free toys. Hand a dog a stuffed animal, and he’ll likely shake and chew it until it tears. The aftermath, as you may know, is stuffing all over the living room floor. The solution? Try out a stuffing-free toy. They don’t result in a mess, and they offer the same soft, floppy satisfaction. If you pick one with a squeaker at the center, your dog will love it even more. Just make sure to keep an eye on the toy for any rips or tears, as your pup may accidentally (or purposefully) get to the squeaker and chew or swallow it.
Strong rope toys. Dogs like toys that are interactive — rope toys that have lots of twists and turns keep your dog engaged. Look for ones shaped like a bone or knotted tightly, and they’ll last through the wear and tear.
Bacon Flavored Chew Toy. What’s not to love? This bacon flavored wishbone is beloved among all dogs, and for reasons we think you understand. Long lasting, flavored, and top rated on Amazon (link) among pet owners who swear by the toy.
What are your dog’s favorite toys? We’d love to hear in the comments below!


I am working on a grant proposal that’s due Sunday and don’t have time to write a full post. Meanwhile, here are two recent and very interesting posts from other blogs about the air pollution problem in Ulaanbaatar.
This one, Life in a Toxic Cloud, was recently published in The Huffington Post, and this one, What’s in a Mask, was written by an expat living in UB and working in media. It’s not just China’s pollution getting international attention.
As they note, the question of masks comes up all the time here. As both my mother and mother-in-law are regular readers, I will say quickly that, yes, we have the fancy masks. Just don’t ask if I wear it every day, because there are lots of excuses not to: my walk to work is short (eight minutes if I have to wait for red lights), the air doesn’t seem that bad, no one else seems to…blah, blah.
Tomorrow I definitely will. Try.


Manufacturing business is a complex field, which includes different sections to be handled by experts having relevant knowledge and experience. Starting from product planning to entire inventory management, resource management, actual production and supply chain management, every step is challenging enough. Trained experts with adequate knowledge are appointed to ensure no error throughout the process. However, in the current pace of twenty first century, a quality value production cannot be imagined without having adequate technical setup integrated to the setup.
With the increased demand of heavy duty production in relatively lower time period, only mechanical setup is not enough to speed-up the manufacturing process. There is dedicated enterprise resource management software designed and developed by IT experts. These integrated set-ups are meant to offer one stop solution for all enterprise requirements including product planning, inventory management, financial management; keeping accounts records, labour management and managing the entire supply chain.
Being an integrated resource management system, ERPs have been able to help the manufacturers to have sound and effective client relation management benefits too. Hence, the manufacturing units are not only taking benefits of ERP setup in terms of improved production methodology, but improved business standards as well.
The leading ERP trends, which have transformed the entire structure of resource management for enterprises include mobile ERP, social ERP, cloud ERP and Two tier ERPs. Each one of these software systems is designed by IT experts to cater different requirements of the marketplace. Since market has different types of clients operating in numerous fields and accordingly having several types of requirements. These ERP systems are designed and developed accordingly. For example, mobile ERP helps the managers to access through the required information about their enterprise on the go. They can utilize their time while traveling and workout the entire process.
On the other hand, social ERP setup is designed by keeping the latest social media trends in mind. Social media has grown with such a pace that it has become important for businesses and hence having a dedicated enterprise resource management setup is a brilliant idea. To preserve the information over the cloud and keep it safe yet accessible to designated users is urgent need of almost every business enterprise these days and cloud ERP has made it possible.
Two-tier ERP is basically an effort taken by the IT experts to build a setup which is all inclusive of all the elements mentioned above. Such innovative advancements are introducing a whole new world of technology, which once integrated with mechanical work, assures guaranteed growth and effective management without any error. Such solutions are world class and help the businesses to develop their growth scale on excellent basis. Technology is weaving new ways of growth, which are going to be brighter and better in every possible manner.

Why Renee Raven Is Excited for Barksgiving at Three Dog Bakery
This Black Friday, I'm not going ANYWHERE — except for Three Dog Bakery! I'm SO thankful for my pets that getting them a special little treat is actually a treat for me. It's also a great opportunity to stock up on gifts for my pets and my family (who love their pets as much as I do.)
Plus, Three Dog Bakery is having a HUGE Black Friday sale with markdowns of 50 to 75 percent on select items throughout the store, including glass/ceramic bowls, apparel, collars and toys. It's the perfect way to start my holiday shopping and carrying my loot will help burn off those turkey dinner calories.
If you're looking for a little turkey for your dog, you have to see the featured bakery treats at Three Dog Bakery this month! There's a drumstick, a fully-decorated turkey and several pies, all baked with dogs' health in mind. They have grain-free and wheat-free treats, plus they use unsweetened apple sauce and organic honey and steer away from sugar and salt.
They are beyond cute! Pets are family too, but we don't want them begging family for people food that's not good for them. Giving them their own special treat is the perfect way to include your pet, without encouraging bad behavior or exposing them to food they shouldn't be eating.
So, this month, it's just a short trip over the loop and through 98th Street to Three Dog Bakery we go! The dogs know the way and might sit (but won't stay) until you have their favorite snacks in tow.

Ought to write up a thinky review, with lots of discussion of representation and acknowledgment that it's unfair to expect every Chinese-American writer to describe the entire Chinese -American experience, but I am too lazy to do that right now. After slaughtering the animals, they swarmed the house and destroyed everything they could find. She supposes it is angry with her for breaking the silence and exposing her shame for all to see. When she looks into the gourd again later, she sees her father being drafted. I've also seen her talk a few times and she's way foofy.
I feel conflicted about this book. It paved the way for so many books about ethnic mythos and American ambivalence and women's power that it lost some of its startling quality, while retaining its mastery and depth and the trueness of its questions. I loved her story about being a Chinese-American and trying to find a culture that fit her. Kids are strange unfinished creatures with bizarre impartial understanding of the world. As an immigrant myself, I always marvel at the way fellow newcomers eke out an identity amid binary cultural scripts. Her mother trained as a midwife at the To Keung School of Midwifery in Canton.
What confused me about the book was that the title calls it a memoir, but parts of it are fiction. The woman warrior is trained by two caring old people from the time she is a girl of seven through the age of twenty-two. Sons were venerated because they could pass on the family name, thereby ensuring a family's stability and longevity; in contrast, daughters, who were given away by their parents at marriage, primarily functioned only as bearers of sons for their husbands' families. She stays with her daughter, now living in Los Angeles, but soon manifests paranoid delusions about being spied upon by Mexican Ghosts. Who else has been forgotten? It is the first book by an Asian American writer accepted into the American canon the first to be taught in universities etc. When the story ends, the narrator explains how her life in America has always felt paltry next to Fa Mu Lan's. Mmm, not a huge fan.
She also refuses to be treated as a second-class citizen, and confesses that she is smart according to her American teachers. It is the first book by an Asian American writer accepted into the American canon the first to be taught in universities etc. The Woman Warrior combines Kingston's memoir of growing up in the U. They have a son together. Kingston mentions the teachers excluding her and other Chinese children from the activities that all the rest of students were participating in.
Tellingly this includes assuming a male disguise, but remaining a woman 'Marriage and childbirth strengthen the swordswoman, who is not a maid like Joan of Arc'. After I grew up, I heard the chant of Fa Mu Lan, the girl who took her father's place in battle. While living among them, she learned to fight. Unfortunately, I thought it was terrible. It turned out that he was a successful brain surgeon; they could not see him without an appointment. Specifically, the story seems to suggest that the role women play in silencing women's voices is not through the prescription of laws and explicit standards of behavior a duty often reserved for men in patriarchal societies, something revealed simply by looking at the disproportionate representation of men in many contemporary legislatures , but rather through a secondary form of control that serves to make the questioning of these laws and standards taboo.
Kingston, however, does not fully understand the story's importance when she first hears it. She defends her aunt for at least escaping, if not taking a stand against, the sexist traditions that took away her right to her identity. Kingston, a first generation American, finds that as a result of her cultural Kingston's story seeks meaning in the Chinese culture system in order to strengthen her individual identity. But what Kingston does not know, at least not until the memoir's final chapter, is that her mother hopes to strengthen her daughter emotionally and psychologically by giving her a sense of who she is and where she came from. It was so hard for me to get through, and I can't figure out why. Maxine Hong Kingston begins her search for a personal identity with the story of an aunt, to whom this first chapter's title refers.
Maxine Hong Kingston's No Name Woman A person's identity cannot be given to her, instead a person must achieve a sense of her character through personal experience and self-reflection. Although Kingston tries to make sense of what her mother tells her, she remains unsure about the reliability of the facts surrounding her aunt's suicide, as are we. When she finishes her training, she returns to her village and takes her father's place in battle. After giving birth in a pigsty, she kills herself and the baby by drowning in the family well. The first chapter blew me away and I was disappointed that the rest of the book wasn't like that. Divided into five chapters, each of which is more or less self-contained, Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior explores the many forms of adversity that women face.
Such was the traditional code and operation of a patrilineal society that enforced its patriarchal ideology by imposing restrictions on women's positions and conduct. The stories are highly imaginative; the narrative flows with wondrous elements of magical-realism. I loved her story about being a Chinese-American and trying to find a culture that fit her. A memoir of a Chinese-American woman of her experiences growing up in an immigrant family in Sacramento, and the tremendous weight and power of the mythical China her mother enveloped her in, her view of herself, stubborn and real, overlaid with her mother's Chinese sense of the worth of a girl not much, and yet, the stories of the warrior girl makes us question that. Kingston wants to believe that her aunt had at least some positive control of her own destination rather than being merely a victim. Because she is most concerned with exploring how her Chinese cultural history can be reconciled with her emerging sense of herself as an American, Kingston must uncover just what this Chinese cultural history is, and one way of doing so is by listening to, and then altering, her mother's stories about the family's Chinese past.
One of the ways that this individualism and womanhood are defined is through language, or, at least for No Name Woman, the lack of it. It is an empowering book with an important message and a big discussion on representation and diversity, but it just wasn't for me. From then on, the pharmacist gave them candy with all their prescriptions. He tearfully described to me how his parents who were university professors had destroyed their fingers and backs digging trenches bare-handed during the Cultural Revolution. Even though I was maybe 8, I got to be in on it because we were playing teams. I seem to remember bringing up my legal concerns and being unsatisfactorily brushed off.
She was the third of eight children, and the first among them born in the United States. She began teaching English at the that same year. I felt the desire the narrator had to accomplish this feat, her frustration at falling short of performing the impossible task This is a feminist text. She said I would grow up a wife and a slave, but she taught me the song of the warrior woman, Fa Mu Lan. She participates in a peasant rebellion, which overthrows the emperor, returns home and decapitates the greedy baron of her village, and settles into a life of honor with her family. Brave Orchid tries to toughen her sister up by teaching her to work and persuading her to confront her husband, but Moon Orchid is hopelessly inept as a worker and fears standing up to her husband.

We’ve been covering Lenovo and their IdeaPad U1 “hybrid” notebook for some time here on PC Perspective. While the U1 is an interesting product, it doesn’t appeal to users who just want a slate and don’t care for the extra notebook base. Apparently Lenovo is going to launch a slate product in China called “LePad”, following the branding established by their LePhone smartphone.
Lenovo’s IdeaPad U1 Hybrid (left), and LePhone (right).
While these products are for the Chinese market only, there’s hope that LePad and LePhone will make it out to the rest of the world.
Up next is HP.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer getting personal with the HP Slate during CES 2010 …
just weeks before HP canceled the product.
Ever since the cancellation of the much touted HP slate, the tech media has been watching HP very closely especially with anticipation of a new Palm WebOS product. Apparently, the HP Slate 500 appeared on the HP website. While little detail was provided, it did say it was Energy Star rated.
So a look through the Energy Star product database revealed that the HP Slate 500 was indeed certified and that it was using an Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz CPU. This can mean that HP is still planning a Windows 7 device, or that HP has gone with Atom for an Android based product.

It's more than a religious tradition. Marriage is a complicated governmental process that sets up property, personal and monetary obligations, backed up by law. If the government decided that certain Americans were blocked from accessing these laws, then we’ve got a problem with equal protection.
The majority held that state same-sex marriage bans are a violation of both the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause.
The conservative Justices pretzel logic never got that concept, and wanted to continue to treat gay Americans differently:
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote Addressing the Equal Protection Clause, Roberts stated that same-sex marriage bans did not violate the clause because they were rationally related to a governmental interest, preserving the traditional definition of marriage.
“Governmental interest” doesn't include equal protection? I’m sensing a massive amount of BS.
I’m bringing this up again because in a recent article featuring Justice Scalia’s crazy rants against the decision, he never even mentioned “equal protection.” In fact he spouted the same talking points as tea party flame thrower Sen. Ted Cruz (ironically, Cruz served as a law clerk to William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States in 1996), arguing the justices are just a bunch of unelected lawyers telling us all what to do. I have deeper, more thoughtful conversations with my conservative friend in Milwaukee.
Here are the low-lights from conservative activist Justice Scalia. What is this guy doing on the bench?
At a Tuesday speech at Rhodes College the justice blasted the decision, calling it the "furthest imaginable extension of the Supreme Court doing whatever it wants" … "threat to democracy" … “Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast. Saying that the Constitution requires that practice, which is contrary to the religious beliefs of many of our citizens. I don't know how you can get more extreme than that. I worry about a court that's headed in that direction. Do you really want your judges to rewrite the Constitution?"
He bemoaned that the court was made up of no more than "lawyers" who are "terribly unrepresentative of our country. What is it that I learned at Harvard Law School that makes me peculiarly qualified to determine such profound moral and ethical questions as whether there should be a right to abortion, whether there should be same-sex marriage, whether there should be a right to suicide? It has nothing to do with the law. Even Yale Law School doesn't teach that stuff."

Went here with the girls from the office after work one night. We loved it, the place was buzzing with people and the service from the bartenders were right on. It did get crowded after around 7pm but by then we all had trains to catch. Great early hang out.
We went for snacks and cocktails after work and the place was crowded and loud. The place is nice, but it does get crowded on Friday, they have music so it attracts many people. The food is just so-so its more of a drinking hanging out bar than an eatery.
This is not the original Ray's Pizza but the pizza is good. The dough is slightly doughy but when you are hungry it fills the void. The service is so-so, its not a favorite but it will do in a pinch.
We love this area of Manhattan, there are so many restaurants and pubs to choose from, but Maggies is an old time favorite. You can enjoy a nice steak sandwich and salad for lunch and it doesn't break the bank.
A favorite of ours for after work release. We enjoy the bar on any given day of the week. We do sit and enjoy the company of the bartender along with a great cocktail and we order a few snacks. The place is great and the prices are average.
An array of french cusine, which I did not care for and this place did not change my mind. If you enjoy french food you may like it. I found the prices to be high the service so so. But the place is a gorgeous piece of art.
This is an upscale pub with delicious food, the prices are high and I don't feel are worth it, but we have had business parties here. I would recommend a party or business lunch, but if you are going with family or friends it is on the pricey side.
This is an ok deli, they have many items that they offer to select from so there is something for everyone. Its a great place for a snack or fast lunch. Nothing fancy and it is pricey.
Great italian food. We have gone for family birthday celebrations this restuarant is a casual establishment with great clean food. I would definately eat here again. The prices are right.
A restaurant with a spanish flare for cooking. Very good and authentic cooking, as I am told by a close friend with whom I dined. I did enjoy the piaha it is a rice dish with seafood.

Pilea Glauca Mystifall 4 inch
This plant is prized for its tiny, round, gray-blue leaves that are coated in a silver, powdery substance that almost sparkles when the plant is healthy! This characteristic has earned this plant the nickname Pilea Sparkle. This vining plant can trail out of the pot as a striking shelf or tabletop plant or in a hanging basket. It’s also sometimes grown as ground cover in larger pots or outdoors.
Pilea glauca takes about three years to mature, and in that time its leafy vines may grow up to 3 feet long indoors.
Light: bright indirect light and grow in well-draining soil that stays slightly moist but never soggy.
Water: the top half-inch should dry out between waterings.
Humidity: Pilea glauca thrives with normal humidity, though it does appreciate higher humidity levels.

Those of us who saw Jackie Walker play in high school and college are justifiably proud of his being inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.
Give kudos to Jackie's brother, Marshall, who persevered in keeping Jackie's memory alive.
Take a look at some Tennessee game film from 1969-71. Watch the Vols' No. 52. See for yourself how good he was.
He was actually much better than that.
There was only one Jackie Walker.
JW's induction was well-deserved. Wish I could have seen him live.
I saw him run an interception back for a TD (he crossed the goal line right in front of where I was sitting) against Mississippi State in 1971. The game was played in Memphis and Tennessee won 10-7. Jackie Walker's interception put the Vols ahead 10-0 and they hung on to win.
That was the first game Jim Maxwell played at QB after several others had been tried. The Vols were 3-2 going into this game and ended up 10-2 after beating Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl played in the same stadium.

After running errands all day in the ever-expanding Seattle and restocking my gallery show at Venue, driving off of the boat onto the island is always a breath of fresh air.
I follow the main “highway,” winding beneath a forest canopy, green leaves rustling in the wind. There are no sidewalks here, only ferns and grass growing wildly alongside the road. I drive by family farm stands offering fresh-cut flowers and eggs. Time is on my side, so I head towards my favorite detour that parallels the rocky beachside, with sneak peek views of iconic Mount Rainier, eventually arriving at my parent's property nestled on a hill amongst the trees. In the summertime, this place is paradise.
Every time I return here, a lifetime of memories flood back. I spent my childhood here. Building forts in the woods, going to nature summer camp. Living in two households after my parent's divorce. Playing with my baby brother as a preteen. My teen years of that first love, best friends, cheerleading, and sneaking out to parties. I used to dream about what life was like on the other side of the water. Here on the island, life felt small, and I dreamed of experiencing the big bad world.
After a few years out in the world, it broke me. I spent my recovery here…Confined to a clamshell brace after breaking my back mountain biking. I hobbled around the house and stayed sane by painting in the corner of my parent's living room. Not a year later, I was broken again and forced to return to the island. This time with an injured foot.
Painting daily, I started my art career from the corner of my parent's living room. I worked at a local restaurant, finished my bachelor's degree remotely from my childhood room, and spent late nights at the beach, dreaming of the day I'd become a real “artist." Like a bird leaving a nest, for the second time, I moved away from the island to follow my dream.
To only return a few years later, this time with my partner, Kory, and live in a magical dry cabin while building our businesses. I spent afternoons painting on the back deck above the ravine. We adopted our dog, Arrow, here. We went for long walks in the woods and on the beach. Eventually, we outgrew the cabin and moved away again, off the island. This time, maybe for good.
But no matter how much time passes or how far I travel, whenever I return I say "hello" to all the versions of my younger self. Sure, the island felt small at times, but in my life I've learned that limitations are actually what force me to expand. This place will always have my heart. It's my origin story.

You can include such a condition in the agreement of purchase and sale, but the seller may not want or be legally able to oblige you. To answer your question further, we’d need to know who owns the trees. Are they on the seller’s lot, the boulevard, or overhanging the property?
Your first step is to request a property survey. Trees located on Woodstock boulevards belong to the city, which plants, maintains, and prunes them. So the short answer to that question is no, not without the city agreeing.
Trees on private lots are the homeowner’s responsibility, provided their roots are on the lot you want to purchase. If any part of a trunk or visible roots extends to a neighbour’s lot, you’re dealing with boundary trees. In that case, the seller and neighbour have joint ownership, and a legal obligation to talk before doing anything more.
Likewise if branches from a neighbour’s tree overhang the seller’s lot, they are the neighbour’s responsibility. Any effort you make to alter or prune such trees can land you in court. While Woodstock bylaws protect your right to keep your property safe, you can’t trespass on a neighbour’s property or damage their trees to get the view you want.

Steven Soderbergh's new HBO show will have a choose-your-own-adventure feel
Though it’s still in preproduction, Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming series Mosaic is already unlike anything HBO has ever done.
In an extensive, new interview with Lincoln Center’s Film Comment, Soderbergh shared more about the project and how it will tie in to an app due out in November — an app that lets users familiarize themselves with the story of Mosaic and choose how it unfolds.
“Branching narratives have been around forever, but technology now allows, I hope, for a more elegant, intuitive form of engagement than used to be possible,” Soderbergh said in the interview. Read more…


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- The United States and allies want an Israeli-Hamas cease-fire that includes no more rocket fire from Gaza, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday.
"It is obvious that that cease-fire should take place as soon as possible, but we need a cease-fire that is durable and sustainable," Rice said during a media availability. "We are working toward a cease-fire that would not allow a re-establishment of the status quo ante, where Hamas can continue to launch rockets out of Gaza."
Israel has engaged in airstrikes on Gaza since Saturday, saying the operation is meant to destroy Hamas's ability to fire rockets and mortar rounds at southern Israel.
Hamas, which controls Gaza, was holding the strip's citizens "hostage" and "has contributed deeply to a very bad daily life" for Palestinians living there, said Rice, adding that she doesn't plan a trip to the Middle East.
Rice said she and President George Bush have been in contact with leaders in Europe and Arab states "to find a solution to Gaza that will be a sustainable one for the people of Gaza, for the people of Israel, and for the people of the Palestinian territories of the Middle East more broadly."
