Young Adult Mystery
This book takes a Biblical viewpoint of how the modern woman can lead the best life she can attain while still following the guidelines of the Bible and living up to her personal potential. It uses the personal examples of the two authors, as well as the examples of numerous others that these two have interacted with over the course of writing the book. A systematic approach is taken to break down the history, statistics, and advantages of the modern woman before studiously approaching the Biblical model of the female.
One of the main focuses of the book is the Biblical mandate to "be fruitful and multiply" and how modern culture has both minimized and scorned this. The authors also focus on the differences between males and females, as well as their different purposes in life. Marriage is also a central theme in the book, with the authors providing lots of advice, as well as suggestions to study other resources, in order to find a husband and maintain a healthy marriage.
To stress certain points throughout the book, the authors provide a visual illustration of the concepts discussed. They summarize the lessons taught in certain sections in a "Wise Steps" box, and they fill the book with sections that invite the reader to journal his own thoughts according to a certain topic.
What I found the most interesting about the book was how the authors broke down the multiple purposes of any woman into three categories: our purpose as humans (Core Callings), our purpose as women (Feminine Callings), and our purpose as unique individuals (Personal Callings). Each of these are further broken down, with the Core Callings having the most emphasis throughout the book: Leave and Cleave, Be Fruitful and Multiply, and Subdue and Rule.
I had a difficult time getting through this book, partly because I felt that some of the information provided simply did not apply to me and I did not find it particularly useful. I did agree with most of what the authors interpreted from Biblical scriptures, though I disliked the broad usage of many different Biblical translations. As with any Biblically-based self-help book, the Bible should be the first source and the book should be secondary. I also felt that Feldhahn used the book somewhat as a self-promotional tool, since she often refers to her previously-written book, For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men.
All the same, I appreciated the Biblical perspective and the support of marriage-minded women and stay-at-home moms. There is much wisdom in the pages of this book.

Walk of shame
Another great season of the show. Each season i continue to root for Tyrion Arya and the Tyrells though my love of the Tyrell's is because i want to become the Queen of thrones when I'm old. Sparrow was a sneaky stand out this season and he manipulation of religion for his own purpose is great. Finally Cersi had some punishment fitting things she has done though.
Arya training this season is also stand out entry into the house of black and white is superb and skills she is learning is great for anyone that small and want to be powerful.
Daenerys now has Tyrion as a adviser and as someone that loves Tyrion and loves dragons I am so envious of the Stormborn right now and kind of want her to win just because of her logic of an adviser.

Quick read
Great character development
Unique plot
Well written
Action-packed and exciting
I hadn't really given the Science Fiction genre a fair chance, so I decided that this would be a "starter" book. I figured since it was Book 1 of a series, I'd either love this book enough to get the next 2 or just abandon all hope for the genre.
I am happy to say that I found this book action-packed and exciting with a unique plot.
Well developed characters bring you into the story and make you actually care what happens to them.
The thought of humans having their minds transferred into AI robots (as well as other objects) is amazing and frightening all at the same time...especially when it is for the purpose of defeating a lab-created AI that has gone rogue with an objective to annihilate the human race!

Clearly, I'm getting old now, because I don't think I really "get" Instagram. You can share photos on Facebook, you can share photos on Twitter - and you can do it via your computer on both of them. Instagram just seems to be another way of doing the same thing, but in a more limited way.
That said, I do have it on my phone and have used it a few times, it's just that I find it easier to find what I'm looking for on Facebook. The feed on Facebook seems to react more readily to show me more from the groups and people I interact with, while the Instagram feed seems much more hit and miss.
I find the inability to upload pictures from the computer a little frustrating, as I would probably use it more often then, in which case I would probably come to understand its purpose more!
