How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

You can't read it if it's loaned out. According to the manual, you can only lend a book one time. I didn't know that. But, if the friend refuses the book, it can still be lent to someone else. You have 7 days to accept or refuse.

Part of the manual says you have it for 14 days unless you return it sooner. The part that talks about returning it says it expires in 14 days and doesn't say anything about returning it sooner. So... I don't know. There might be a "return" button somewhere on the "read more' part of the book description.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You can only lend it once? Huh. That sucks.

Oh, well, at least I can help 1 other person with their reading crack; god knows these won't be the last ones I buy. It's all good. I can see why they would impose a limited lend, from a money standpoint.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aha! I found out how to return it (on the web site). Erin, when I'm done with Mockingjay, which will probably the next or the next book after that I read, I'll lend it to you.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey do our theater tech types have a good online resource for basic stage lighting terminology? Our band`s worship leader is trying to learn, since we`re building our own edifice and thus, stage. He`s got a book, but it`s a bit over his head.

I didn't have anything I already used, but a quick google found me this: [link]

It seems like a pretty useful and comprehensive site for stagecraft in general, but that glossary page allows you to specify technical areas like lighting, and even an experience level.

Crap. Except it's a Brit page. Less helpful than previously thought.

This is from Amazon which I know you don't use, but you can find the book elsewhere. It's called Technical Theatre for Non-Technical People. I know the author. It's a bit out of date, but a good book.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've run into a number of blog posts about this freakish monstrosity, so I'm inflicting it on y'all:

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Warning: it's even more gross than you think it is.
