The Bookshelf, The Parlor, The Young Texas Reader, and the Monthly

The Texas Bookshelf is different from the The Texas Parlor, http://texasparlor.blogspot.com/ . The Texas Parlor carries "general" bookish information and non-book information and even different Texana news and notes of use to the bibliographically challenged and other nosey folks intersted in historical, literary, and cultural observations. Will's Texana Monthly may carry material from either blog, but extends itself beyond those, especially for longer compilations or treatments. The Monthly, the Bookshelf and the Parlor are all companions. So, is the Young Texas Reader http://youngtexasreader.blogspot.com/ which specialized on books and such things for the youngest to the teenagers.

Beyond the Alamo - Raul Ramos

        Raul Ramos makes a guest posting on the University of North Carolina Press blog regarding his Beyond the Alamo: Forging Mexican Ethnicity in San Antonio, 1821-1861. 
Ramos begins:   "This Saturday marks the anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, the battle that ended the 13-day siege on the fort by the Mexican Army.  The date carries added meaning this year as the Texas State Board of Education decides on the social studies standards affecting the education of the state's public school children.  Debates over the standards have garnered national attention especially since they impact how textbooks will be written for the nation's largest market.  It was the subject of a recent New York Times Magazine cover story.  When it comes to Texas history, few if any events carry the emotional weight of the Alamo.  The governor even invokes the memory of Texas Independence to score political points with the anti-Washington crowd."  Read more at

In its original sense this was a group of individuals defined mainly by their membership of
some formal body, but the concept has been expanded to encompass the
customers of a range of retail outlets. Cable ties used in the food industry are characterised by their blue colour,
and they will also contain a metal additive meaning
they can easily be detected by metal detectors used in the food industry.
The classic sophistication is a consistent character that bow ties evoke.

Note that I didn't spend hours and hours trying to get them right, you just have to draw them til they look decent enough to be believable. And serve that story with humility, loyalty, creativity, passion, and open eyes. Using this different approach seems to freshen up all your overs and reverses.

I see a lot of guys ask how to put on weight but at the same time are missing the
most obvious step - they aren't eating enough. Then the skinny guy finds weight gainers and tries them, or some other worthless supplement, and never really understands why he is not big and muscular like the other guys at the gym. However, it's also easy to lose weight, even if the process itself can be
slow.

Mommy and Daddy will need to bring identification (drivers license, passport), and baby's birth certificate is required. Think about this - what would happen if you ignored your clients, or children, or friends. The more detailed you can write out your plan, the better.
