Last Day: Save 50% on Scrivener and TextExpander Titles from Take Control books

All of the many Take Control books I've bought over the years have been superb. I recently bought (at an educational price) the app for Mac, TextExpander. It's a great time- and effort-saver.

I use TextExpander. It's a great app and the ebook from Take Control on it is very, very good. There's an ed. discount for TextExpander.

TextExpander is also available for iDevices. The settings you have on one device or Mac can be synced via Dropbox (very elegant!).

Nearly a quarter of children on the Big Island live in poverty (and we have the highest rate of poverty in the state of Hawaii)

A higher percentage of children live in poverty than on the Big Island than on any of the other Hawaiian islands.

This was front page news today in our local newspaper, West Hawaii Today. In general, nearly all social problems (including things like domestic violence, deaths due to drunk driving, etc.) are greater on this island than any of the other islands. :-(
