 An Apple A Day! A Kid's Guide To Julian, California


An Apple A Day! A Kid’s Guide To Julian, California


$11.07


The small community of Julian, California is nestled in the Cuyamaca mountains just about an hour east of San Diego, California. Here you can take a step back in time all the way to Julian’s 1870′s gold rush. You can follow the signs and visit a gold mine, on weekends take a horse and carriage ride, eat apples and apple pie and shop in stores and sit at an historic soda fountain. There is also a lot of fun art that kids will love to see, things like deer and bears carved from big trees, and even a cigar store Indian!You can stay in an historic hotel, see a volunteer ire station and even the Pioneer Cemetery where the Julian pioneers are buried! Go on a picnic and search for wildlife, and you just may find some. And when you go to the soda fountain, it is said the root beer floats are the best ever! What you decide to do is all up to you!It seems everyone wants to escape back into the good old days when times were simpler and loads of fun, and if you can’t escape for a lifetime, you can always escape for a day, Or you can just escape vicariously through the pages of this book with poet Penelope Dyan and photographer John D. Weigand! Because this is yet another book meant for kids that will look great on your coffee table! If you decide to take a look up the winding road through the Cuyamaca Mountains to Julian, see how many of the historic sites your kids can find. But don’t forget to take the book for a quick comparison! And have some apple butter, apple juice, apple cider, apple pie, and candied and otherwise prepared apples, and remember an apple a day is very good for you! (And Julian is good for you too!)

 The Other Side of Mercy: A Killer's Journey Across the American Divide


The Other Side of Mercy: A Killer’s Journey Across the American Divide


$6.89


On a fall morning in the Pacific Northwest, in a coffee shop with four police officers as customers, a burst of gunfire announced a shocking ambush that devastated the Puget Sound and swept up everyone from judges in Tacoma to prison officials in Arkansas to candidates for president of the United States. The story of that morning’s violence spans the decades and ripples across state lines. It is a story of our nation’s racial divide; of southern prison farms and an act of grace; of festering hate and missed opportunities to stop a man going mad. For its coverage of the shootings and the manhunt that followed, the Seattle Times won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news. Now the newspaper’s staff goes deeper, telling the story of a charismatic felon, a minister with his eyes on the White House, and what can lie on the other side of mercy. <br><br>So often, when someone does something shocking, people want to know: What was he thinking? What was Timothy McVeigh thinking? What about those kids at Columbine? In western Washington, in the fall of 2009, Maurice Clemmons planned to do something shocking. And he left no doubt what he was thinking. The Other Side of Mercy draws upon a stunning trove of records-including a hundred-plus hours of Clemmons’ recorded telephone conversations-to describe in remarkable detail Clemmons’ past and the steps he took along the way to committing one of the worst crimes in the modern history of the Pacific Northwest. <br><br>The Other Side of Mercy recounts Clemmons’ childhood in a small Arkansas town that had descended into chaos and economic ruin. Racial hostilities were such that sniper bullets flew and buildings were firebombed.

 The Winter of Our Discount Tent


The Winter of Our Discount Tent


$13.73


According to Jim Mize, nature has no mercy – just a sense of humor – and in this hilarious romp through the woods, he proves why readers praise him as an amusing combination of Marlin Perkins and Lewis Grizzard. The way Jim tells it, such overlooked creatures as fleas, flying squirrels, and chipmunks become curiosities of hilarious proportions. In the opening section, Jim waxes comic about carnivorous plants, insects that make people nervous, and birds with bad names. He points out, for instance, that all plants are edible. It’s just that some of them will kill you. He also notes potential uses for kudzu – erosion control, livestock fodder, and hiding the neighbors’ house as a prank while they’re on vacation. From the quirks of nature, Mize graduates to greasy kid stuff. He tells parents how to referee while paddling a boat, raise kids that people like, and survive the two hobbies no child can resist – rock collecting and entomology. And Jim has plenty of musings about hunting and fishing. Outdoors people are sure to chuckle as he ponders the purpose of carp ( fish so ugly they have to spawn in muddy water ), the perplexities of orienteering ( Getting lost has never been much of a problem for me; the problem is getting found .) and the procedure for getting crappie to bite at night ( Lay your rod down, hold a cup of scalding coffee in one hand and a floppy sandwich in the other, and, if possible, try to balance the open thermos on one leg. Then just wait. Bait is optional .). Saving some of his most laugh-provoking observations for his final section, Jim answers age-old questions about why women fish better than men, why people give homes to shoe-chewing puppies, and where to takespouses for a special occasion (he recommends steering clear of restaurants that proudly accept Bass Pro Shop credit cards). Jim’s entertaining insights are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud in renewed appreciation of the great outdoors.

Crazy Kids “Dancing” to Coffee Shop

You Can Continue Your College Education For Free Now Online

Deciding that you want to advance your education is a big decision, especially if you are not completely sure which area is of interest. With all the new technology now available, many universities and colleges have made it possible to research a huge variety of subjects online for free. These courses provide lectures, reading material, and tests. They are offered by top schools such as MIT, which has over 2,000 possibilities to choose from, and also UC-Berkeley. Of course, they hope that this will entice people into continuing their education.

Another reason to look into academic scholarship is to further your own knowledge base, whether it is for your job or just personal interest. The opportunities are there for the taking and the convenience of online availability cannot be denied.

The selection can be scholastic in content with instruction provided by video or written text. Though, it is suggested that some previous comprehension of the subject would be beneficial. Other possibilities of interest to learn about can include tasks in constructing furniture, or learning how to speak another language. These are often recorded by experienced teachers with step-by-step instructions and recorded on video.

During your investigation into the wide range of classes offered, you should make sure you have the corresponding program for downloading what is provided. There are several free software programs available online that many of the schools use for their free courses. This is definitely the best of the best, no fees and no pressure to complete the lessons in a given time. The most that might be asked for is to register your email address; however, there are several that do not ask for any of your information.

There are only a couple of things to consider. The first is that no credit towards a degree program will be provided, and no assistance is available if there are questions about the content. In other words, it is completely a self-study situation. Only in some instances is it likely to receive partial credit towards a degree or diploma, and only when signing up with that particular organization providing the free course.

Another thing to consider is the amount of information that you will receive. Most of the time, the material provided is minimal. If you require a more detail curriculum, it would be advised to enroll in a program that then would also have instructors available to further assist you. Investigating the reputation of the school offering the free course is the best way in which to ascertain the quality of that course. UC-Berkeley supplies all of their lectures through online accessibility.

If you have the desire to further your education or interest, it is not only possible, but it can also be free. What a bargain! Just keep in mind that this will not replace your college scholarships from an accredited source, but increasing your knowledge is always worthwhile.

Shopping Etiquette: A Code of Conduct

With so much shopping activity going on, there should be some kind of unspoken and unsaid but clearly understood Code of Conduct kind of thing in place for shoppers – especially the chronic and the cranky kind.

I mean who wants to grow old while waiting in a queue, for the people ahead of you to get done making their payment. It’s usually at this crucial moment that crisis hits and a lot of people realize that they don’t really have that much cash on them. So, then out comes the plastic. In one instance I know of (because I was right behind the woman), she was holding up a queue at the cashier’s to argue with her husband because he had blocked her credit card. Well, this situation was humiliating for her and embarrassing for the rest of us who were forced to listen to the conversation.

Huzefa Tapia of Grids & Words Design, an advertising and events management firm says, “Talking of etiquette, some people really don’t have it. They think that if they are carrying 4-5 pieces of plastic with them, they can hold anything up. The thing missing here is the common sense in them.”

He adds, “Well.. talking neutrally, one can make a mistake once about getting their credit card block limit wrong, but all the time… it seems weird. Yet, if you are a compulsive shopper, the smart thing is to carry cash on hand or very politely letting some stuff go and coming back another day for it. This surely will help you not create a scene at the cash counter, eventually helping the line to move faster.”

“Smart people also do not buy everything with one credit card. They would spread it out evenly with 2-3 cards depending on the buy. The simple conclusion is be smart and carry some on-hand cash.”

At yet another store, where I had stopped by their coffee shop for some downtime and good coffee, I found this woman shrieking for the manager because she had spotted a rat there. It’s not the kind of thing that anyone wants to see in any place that sells food but in this case, the staff were trying to keep her under control and pacify her but she worked herself up to such a pitch that she added to the headache I already had!

In this case, I don’t know what led to the matter to become such a big deal because I got there midway during her screaming session but I know that rats are not going to flee because they hear a woman yelling at the top of her voice!

True, the woman was calling attention to a serious hygiene deficiency but at what point, the discussion turned ugly is anyone’s guess.

So, when the store management is trying to soothe ruffled feathers and say they will look into it and address the issue right away, they are in damage control mode and doing their best. How is humiliating the staff going to help?

What is one to do but be a mute spectator and enjoy the show? Or walk out because it’s just a waste of your time? I did the latter. Besides, I was there for the coffee and it didn’t seem to be the right place to have it just then!

Since shopping is by nature such a communal and social activity, I think a shopping code of conduct has now become a necessity or else like road rage, we have already started to see many displays of shopping schizophrenia – where perfectly respectable and normally well mannered people behave like hooligans.

So here is my Top 10 Commandments list for shoppers and anyone reading this article can feel free to contribute as well.

  1. Don’t hold up the line at the cash counter to argue with spouses over the cellphone about a blocked credit card. Use another card or pay cash and then discretely deal with your problem.
  2. Don’t hold up the line to argue with staff about issues unrelated to your bill. I think there are enough people scattered around a store to give you a patient hearing if you have complaints about service, merchandise, store décor or whatever. The person to see should be the store manager.
  3. Don’t stand over people while they are eating, so that they swallow their food in a hurry to make way for you. It’s impolite and if you wanted that table so badly, you should have got there earlier. This is especially for the people who throng food courts with a vengeance on weekends despite knowing that there is going to be a large crowd.
  4. Don’t park your shopping bags in all the free chairs for miles around you in the lounge area of malls and also don’t block an aisle with your shopping cart.
  5. Don’t jump the queue at any cost. You are not that important – either to the store per se and certainly not to the people who were waiting there before you showed up.
  6. Don’t indulge your kids’ bad manners at the expense of other shoppers. Putting your foot down and saying ‘no’ will make them value the money you are spending on them. If they refuse to behave, then next time please leave them at home, so the rest of us can have an enjoyable and peaceful shopping experience.
  7. Don’t go berserk at a sale and grab things out of people’s hands and step on their toes while doing it. You are asking for a black eye or verbal abuse and you just might get it…free of cost!
  8. Don’t shoplift. Celebrities with money do it …and get caught. They can manage to convert kleptomania into a PR spectacle but can you?
  9. Don’t be rude to the elderly, the handicapped and obese people. It reflects on your upbringing when you snigger at them. Not everyone has the body type of an anorexic teenager or a wannabe model…or wants to have one in the first place. Some women still do value their curves.
  10. Don’t treat staff at the stores like they are your servants. They are there to   help and guide and get paid to do it. They don’t get paid to take abuse and condescension. If you feel you are not getting their attention, then bring it up firmly and politely.

At the same time, if you feel that someone has made shopping a pleasant experience for you, then take that staff personnel’s name and give him/her some credit in the visitor’s book – if the store maintains one. You never know – you might be unknowingly responsible for that person getting a raise. But that person will remember you and give you a warmer reception the next time you visit the store.

Write in to me at promos@seconddealnsteal.com with your own stories or add more rules of conduct to this list. I’ll post it here as well as on my earticlesonline called ‘Website for Seconds’ on Zimbio.com. You can view that e-magazine here: http://www.zimbio.com/Website+for+seconds+in+India 

6 Reasons to Build Your Start-up in a Coworking Space (INC)

The idea isn’t new, but what you get for the money just keeps getting better.

**In the very early days of your company**, it might make sense to call your
garage (or basement or kitchen table) headquarters. But at a certain point, it
doesn’t suffice. There are only so many times you can bring clients to the
same Starbucks for a meeting. And even the most passionate entrepreneur is
bound to see productivity wane when spouses, kids, dogs, or all of the above
inevitably hover near your workspace.

This is precisely why coworking spaces were invented–and why they’re
increasingly popping up in more cities.

While coworking spaces aren’t new, what they offer to bootstrapped tech start-
ups for the price keeps getting better. CoCo, for example, is a 16,000-square-
foot, sunlit space that makes use of the architecturally-interesting and
historic trading floor once used by the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. Membership
starts around $50 a month.

Now instead of traders yelling bids and waving arms around, the place is
serene–khaki or jeans-clad entrepreneurs working quietly at their laptops
while Pandora plays softly in the background. There’s a concierge who makes
sure coffee and pastries are well-stocked and will …

Ways To Help Overweight Children

There are some things an adult can do to help keep their kids healthy. It is more important than ever because the rate of childhood obesity is at an all-time high. Type 2 diabetes, once a weight-related disease seen only in adults, is now appearing in children as young as 4. There must be reasons behind this issue. Adults are passing on their unhealthy habits to the next generation. The parents need to include themselves when helping their child get healthy.
What is reassuring is that heading off childhood obesity is easier than you may thin but while genes play a part in the tendency to put on pounds, diet and lifestyle make a huge difference, and although many adults turn to weight loss plans that promise to show them how to lose weight fast, this is not the answer for kids and the reality is that the earlier you take preventive steps, the better.
Parents can engage in several activities that can affect the way their kids live. A women needs to follow a healthy diet while they are pregnant. The effects of eating right while they are pregnant has been shown to help a child learn how to make good choices later in life. Children who are a healthy weight at birth were more likely to have a mother who followed a nutritious diet. There are also a few things that should be done after a baby is born to help them maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle so that they will not be search for ways how to lose weight fast at home in a week when they reach adult hood and start looking in the mirror and try to figure out what they have done to get the body into the shape that they see in the mirror.
Try breastfeeding. There are many health benefits that are associated with breastfeeding. Studies have shown that it reduces the risk of childhood obesity. One reason may be that nursed babies are more apt to stop feeding when they’re full. Babies are born with a mechanism for knowing how much food they need.
Do not start a solid food diet as early. After four months it is normal for a baby to become curious about solid foods. The advice of professionals is for a baby to be at least six months before starting a solid diet. There have been studies that have shown a link to overweight children and the time at which they started eating solid food. A baby’s body is not efficient enough at the younger age to expend the extra calories in a diet that includes real food.
Know when your baby is telling you they are full. Listen to the signals that the baby is giving you when they do not want more food. Never force your baby to finish a bottle.
Give your baby a lot of different choices. Take advantage of all the flavors out there, especially in fruits and vegetables. Food preferences are formed in the first few years. This is the time to teach a child how to make the right choices in their diet.
Adults must teach their kids how to make the right choices at a young age. Infants do not have the ability to control their diet and will not do what they do not know how to do. It is up to the parent to provide a baby with the opportunity to eat healthy. It is one way to prevent a child from struggling with their weight.
