The Yiddish Policeme's Union by Michael Chabon

I've read Michael Chabon's latest nobel which is convoluted as they come It is a genre-bending alternate-history detective tale, The Yiddish Policemen's Union which operates under the fictional Jewish that the Askan own of Sitka became a temporary Yiddish-speaking safe haven for European Jewish refugees following World War II and the collapse of Israel in 1948. Now , 60 years later, the town's "temporary" status has expired and Sitka is in danger or reverting to American control and once again displacing thousands of Jewish emigres from what has certainly become their home. Within all this context, the stranged so of Sitka's most notorious mob boss has turned up dead, and homicide detective Meyer Landsman must close the case before the reversion. The story may sound overstuffed, but it is handled with deftness and focus, and though perhaps it' not Chabon's best work to date, the pure imagination fueling this book makes it well worth the read .

I start my kid, Danica by reading Emily's Christmas Gifts, by etiquette honchos Cindy Post Senning, Ed.D., and Peggy Post.

I know fully that after reading the book, mu child will see that the best presents are gifts of kindness and consideration. Parts of this book further teaches Danica to always say "please" and "thank you", greet visitors by looking up at the face and saying "Hello" at the table, speak with an "inside" voice, use a napkin and utensils, and stay seated until excused, help clean up after a get-together - toss wrapping paper, put toys away, carry unbreakables to the kitchen, pick out presents to give to family and friends, when you're shopping, smile at a busy salesperson, when you get a gift, write a thank-you note.

This book teaches her to practice these rules not just in Christmas but all year long.

Learning to cook? Food and Wine Magazine helps!

I admit that I lack expertise in cooking. In fact, I love visiting to my friend's home to ask tips how to cook well on certain food. As a matter of fact, I have numerous book compilations and magazines about food.

Yesterday, I bought a new magazine which is of December issue of Food and Wine. Excitedly, I quickly browsed through and read some parts of the pages. Most of the ad display food recipes and ingredients from various food types - desserts, viands, heavy and light meals, drinks, etc. which were served by the creative chefs all around the world.

As a result, I try cooking Citrus-Marinated Turkey, Ensalada Verde with Idiazabal Cheese, Sweet Potato Gratin with Chile-spiced Pecans, Chorizo Corn Bread Stuffing with Herbs, Sweet-and-Sour Catalan Spinach, Herbed Potato Gratin with Manchego, etc.

All these and more, I learn and love to cook as Food and Wine Magazine makes me an expert chef someday.

Reading American Baby Magazine

Being a mother at an early age of 23 to my first-born child Danica is what I find I'm amateur at. I don't know technically know how to take care of my little princess. I'm clueless about ways of giving her a baby bath, changing her clothes, changing the diaper, bottle feed her, choosing the appropriate food, what's the dos and don'ts, etc. I find it really hard to adjust to a life like this from a naughty gal to a serious, mature one because all I really want is to have fun. Until this scenario occurs me to face my big responsibility especially now that I'm a mother, not anymore a night-life partier.

As a result, I read the American Baby's Magazine to equip myself with the responsibilities of motherhood as it positively imply a huge role especially to my child. All I really want is the best for her. No matter how ruthless I am before after not being able to care much about my sisters because I am always with hang-outs with friends, this situation of having me an instant mom alarms me with wide-open, instant attack that calls for perfection.

Becoming a mom accurately articulates the feeling that I have to do it all perfectly. This magazine puts my struggles into perspective.

Now I am more confident that I am on my way to get there! Y8X52G6YKATW

It has been a year now that Payperpost.com help my sister. The money that I have received from making some posts to blog with the advertiser's requirements cure the monthly medication of my sister. My sister is suffering from a mental illness. It has been 5 months now that my sister is on the process of her medication, recovering back her normal memory.

I am just a plain teacher and I don't have too much income to sustain her needs. I searched through the Internet about paying sites from blogging and I have read over the positive testimonials of some of the bloggers that are already a member of Payperpost.com, I find satisfaction of their positive feedback of this company. And so by doing, after having a 20 plus posts of personal ads, I submitted my blog to them. Luckily, they accepted it and I begin (until now) blogging.
