New "Anti-Troll" Patent Reform Bill Draws Praise

Bill is seen as a win for businesses and consumers alike, if a bit weak on a couple topics
Today in the U.S. a strong case could be made that intellectual property is doing more harm than good to consumers and innovative companies. That's
not an argument
against intellectual property, rather it's a testament to just
to the poor state of the American intellectual property system
I. Fixing a Broken System
Veteran legal experts
widely acknowledge
that the patent and copyright systems
are broken
Much of the human genome is "patented"
by biotech firms
preventing cancer research
and other medical progress (and a recent Supreme Court ruling
protects key elements of those patents
). Big electronics companies like Apple, Inc. (
) are
patenting things like "rectangular body with curved edges"
and suing their rivals.
Meanwhile, all these big players are
also under attack
from the bottom
by "patent troll"
companies that produce nothing, buy up collections of intellectual property, and sue those who do produce
via shell companies
. Some trolls are even suing small businesses for merely using Wi-Fi or
developing apps with notifications
It would seem an easy thing to agree upon among federal lawmakers to move aggressively to reform the broken system. While some corporate interests oppose remedies to some of the aforementioned problems (e.g. gene patents or patents on simple design elements), most companies stand united against
so-called patent assertion entities (PAE) or non-practicing entities (NPE)
-- companies that produce nothing, but instead buy up patents to sue productive U.S. businesses.
NPEs/PAEs are allegedly the worst of the trolls. [Image Source: Word of the Nerd]
record contributions from traditional tech businesses
minimal contributions from PAEs/NPEs
(aka "the trolls"), this would seem like something Congress would be eager to take up -- particularly as it's an example of the occasional case where consumer interests and corporate interests seem to align for a common good.
Patents are often abused under the current system. [Image Source: ICanHazCheeseburger]
But progress has been slow. In June
Congress asked
U.S. Federal Trade Commission
to use its ambiguously defined powers to examine the behavior of PAEs/NPEs, who stand accused of the most severe forms of patent trolling. The FTC agreed to probe the problem, but made it clear to Congress that it
wasn't in the business of suing the PAEs/NPEs
, even if it found they were trolling.
II. New Bill Emerges
Thankfully that deadlock has changed. Back from the government shutdown, members of the U.S. House of Representatives showed a rare moment of cooperation, convening to address the problem of patent trolling.
A new bill looks to take a bite out of patent trolls' business scheme. [Image Source: Sodahead]
A new bill dubbed the "
Innovation Act of 2013
" has been proposed, sponsored by a bipartisan collective in the Republican-controlled house. Sponsors include:
Rep. Bob Goodlatte
Rep. Zoe Lofgren
Rep. Spencer Bachus
Rep. Jason Chaffetz
Rep. Howard Coble
(R-N. Car.)
Rep. Peter Defazio
Rep. Anna Eshoo
Rep. Blake Farenthold
Rep. Lamar Smith
Rep. Tom Marino
George Holding
* Primary sponsor
Rep. Lamar Smith has joined with past rivals to sponsor the bill. [Image Source: Lamar Smith]
For those who don't follow politics, let's just say the collection of sponsors is littered with odd bedfellows. For example Reps. Chaffetz and Eshoo were among the coalition that
successfully opposed
a pair of questionable antipiracy bills
-- U.S. House of Representative's
"Stop Online Piracy Act"
) and its Senate equivalent, the "PROTECT IP Act" (PIPA) (
). On the flip side you have Rep. Smith whose office was
responsible for
. In other words the sponsors are an odd hodgepodge of supporters of big government supporters and budget-trimming proponents; tradditionalists and reformists; "Tea Party" Congresspeople (e.g. Rep. Chaffetz and Farenthold) and relatively "liberal" Congressmen/women like Rep. Eshoo [
Congress is at last putting serious effort into tackling the issue of patent trolling.
[Image Source: U.S. Congress]
Given that odd assortment, it's clear just how broad support for the bill is across a host of political idealogies. And that makes it all the more puzzling why it took so long to get here (oh well).
II. What Advocacies are Saying
The bill would amend USC (U.S. Code [of Law])
Title 35
-- the section of the U.S. legal code that governs patent law, and amend the "America Invents Act", which Obama
signed into law in 2011
The bill reverses some key provisions of the controversial 2011 America Invents Act, which some claim enables trolling. [Image Source: Unknown]
Skepticism of the new bill is high -- particularly given that the American Invents Act was billed as the "most comprehensive change to our Nation's patent laws in 60 years", but evolved into a law that many patent reform advocates said made key problems worse.
But in its current form the new Innovation Act is draw strong positive feedback from social libertarians and civil rights advocacies on the "left" and "right" alike. For example the
Electronic Frontier Foundation
Today, we are one giant step closer to real patent reform in the United States. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), along with a broad bipartisan coalition, has introduced the
Innovation Act of 2013
, comprehensive legislation that, if passed, would severely limit trolls' ability to continue their trolly behavior....
But at the time, we were still quite concerned. First and foremost,
we worried that the law didn't address the growing patent troll issue
... Second, we worried that Congress, having passed patent legislation, would not be interested in taking up the issue again. Fortunately, Congress surprised us.
What changed? Well, the tech community learned how to better make its voice heard in D.C. (Remember
?) This American Life focused two full hours (
) on patent trolls. And brave members of Congress, like Rep. Peter Defazio, got in front of the issue by introducing bills like the
SHIELD Act
But, really, the trolls have done
all the hard work for us
. They targeted
app developers
for using generally available technology. They sued
small city governments for using bus tracking software
. They went after businesses for using
scan-to-email technology
and the kind of WiFi routers you would buy off the shelf at Best Buy.
Thank you, trolls. You didn't only get our attention, you got the attention of Rep. Goodlatte, along with other
congressional leaders
, the
, and even the
. We're going to be working hard to make sure that not only is your 15 minutes of fame over, but so too is your entire business model.
That's a pretty strong statement of support, from a top advocacy who is funded by the likes of Google and has been steadfastly fighting patent trolling, particularly in its most severe forms (i.e. NPEs/PAEs).
III. How Does it Work?
The bill is indeed appears as good as the EFF says -- assuming it isn't neutered before it comes to a vote. Among its key provisions are:
"Joinder" :
Forcing parent companies to declare their interest in lawsuits and exposing them to having to pay court fees, eliminating the benefits of shell companies, a key trolling tactic.
The proposed law would restrict the use of unaccountable shell companies, a favorite tactic of trolls. [Image Source: Blogspot]
Patent lawsuit filers must explain who will benefit from the legal win. If it's a little office in the middle of nowhere occupied by 13 other shell companies, the case can be conveniently tossed out.
Loser Pays Up
Loser in a patent lawsuit would now have to pay court fees. This would be a crippling blow to NPEs/PAEs who often hedge their efforts on the assumption that it's cheaper to settle than fight accusations in court. At the same time it could also impact patent wars between large companies like Apple and Google Inc. (
) by forcing them to think twice before suing.
Patent case losers may now be required to pay more of the winner's court fees. [Image Source: Bay Area Bankruptcy]
This provision is weaker, though, than in the SHIELD Act -- another reform bill -- as it does not include the bond requirement, a key payment in the case.
Explain yourself
Lawsuit filers must now precisely explain how they believe their patent is being validated and which claims in the patent they think are violated.
This again could impact both NPEs/PAEs and litigation-happy corporate entities like Apple who would now have to more precisely explain how they believe the accused product(s) (e.g. a rectangular smartphone) infringe, making a jury less reliant on
arbitrary interpretations of infringement claims
Expanded review
Post-grant, patents will now be eligible to an expensive, but more sure-fire review track.
Companies like Google can pay examiners to look at prior art and determine whether rivals like Apple
improperly obtained certain patents
(and vice versa).
Patents will now be eligible for faster reviews. [Image Source: InvestorsEye]
Protects business secrets
Prevents trolls and/or companies from using court filings to try to threaten to disclose their legal victims sensitive business data, a tactic that's sometimes used to try to force a legal opponent to settle.
Freezes suits against customers:
Weaker than the SHIELD Act, which would in most cases prevent suing customers for infringement by a third party.
Does make it so customers and third party can't be sued at the same time -- as NPEs/PAEs are fond of doing.
As you can see, the bill's strongest provisions deal with PAEs/NPEs -- the most blatant of trolls. In that regard it may be viewed as a good first step. Once that issue has been resolved, Congress can (theoretically) move on to tougher problems like figuring out ways to stop companies from filing over ambiguous/speculative patents,
repatenting existing art
, or
forcing fair licensing rates for patents
based on industry expert analysis.
Of course, Congress seems unlikely to tackle such complex problems, given that they
lack traction with special interest dollars
. But at least there's hope this modest reform can pass through, given the current shows of support.

What is a Farmer?
Also known as: Cultivator, Agriculturalist, Agriculturist, Farm Owner, Agriculturer.
Table of Contents
A farmer is someone who works under the umbrella of agriculture, producing a variety of food products for human and animal consumption. There are several kinds of farmers ranging from farmers who raise animals to farmers who grow crops.
There is a quote that is very accurate when describing a farmer - "Farmers farm for the love of farming. They love to watch and nurture the growth of plants. They love to live in the presence of animals. They love to work outdoors. They love the weather, maybe even when it is making them miserable." - Wendell Berry.
A farmer's main goal is to produce a good crop and/or healthy animals in order to make a living and to feed the population. Farmers are responsible for all crops and livestock that are needed for us to survive. Without food, the world would slowly die, and farmers work hard every day to keep plenty of crops and animal products in the market to keep that from happening.
How to Become a Farmer
What does a Farmer do?
A farmer has various responsibilities within their particular field. Whether it is the purchasing and planting of seeds on a cash crop farm, the purchasing of quality breeding stock on an animal husbandry farm, or the diet and care of a specific type of livestock on an animal production farm, a farmer needs to have a wide knowledge base of the agricultural industry as a whole.
Besides the general knowledge of planting dates, breeding cycles and harvesting periods, a farmer often needs a good working knowledge of mechanics in order to keep their equipment running and in optimal order.
A strong working knowledge of the limitations and regulations of the Food and Drug Administration, state agencies, and local government is a must for a farmer, as there are many regulations placed on the agricultural industry.
The following are various types of farmers. Click on each type to learn what they do.
Organic Farmer - produces fruits, vegetables, grains, or livestock without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers
Grain and Forage Crop Farmer - grows grains such as wheat, barley, canola, oats, rye, flax, peas and speciality crops or forage crops
Dairy Farmer - owns or manages a farm where cows are raised for the production of milk and other dairy products
Poultry Farmer - raises domesticated birds such as geese, ducks, turkeys or chickens
Rancher - raises livestock such as cattle or sheep, or less common livestock such as elk, bison, ostrich, emu or alpacas
Beekeeper - keeps honey bees, and produces honey, pollen, royal jelly and beeswax
Vermiculturist - breeds worms and uses the worms to convert waste products such as uneaten food, feces, grass clippings, and spoiled fruit and vegetables into healthy, nutrient-rich soil and organic fertilizer
Alligator Farmer - breeds and raises alligators or crocodiles in order to produce leather, meat and other goods

How to become a Farmer
A good way to see if you'd like to be a farmer is to speak with some experienced farmers. Look for farmers that are doing the type of farming you'd like to do and ask them if they'd mind spending some time with you to answer some of your questions. There's no better way to find out what it's really like, and to get very helpful advice.
University is a fantastic way to study agriculture, economics and business management. Today's farmer is an entrepreneur, and knowing agricultural business is very important. Farmers need to know how to survive, and if you would like to take it further than the farm-labour stage, then education in all aspects of farming is needed.
Another way to gain knowledge of farming is to become an apprentice. Offer your services as a farm hand. This is an excellent way to acquire knowledge for free and to gain invaluable experience.
What is the workplace of a Farmer like?
Where a farmer works is based on which area of the agricultural industry they choose to work. Here we will outline just a few of the many options available, to include fish farming, cash crop farming, animal husbandry, and livestock production.
In the area of fish farming -
farmers will manage a large fishery, often specializing in one variety of fish, such as tilapia. These farmers specialize in the raising of fish to be processed for consumption or to be released into lakes, rivers, and streams in the attempt to repopulate a dying waterway. Fish farmers need to know the specifics of the species they are raising as well as the environmental requirements placed upon them by federal, state, and local governments.
In the area of cash crop farming -
a farmer will raise crops to market for consumption, medical use, animal food production, and the growing herbal industry. A farmer in this field will be responsible for the planting, fertilization, and harvesting of the crops, as well as transport to the proper production elevators for sale at harvest. Cash crop farmers will need a strong working knowledge of planting times, harvesting times, and weather patterns in order to gain a good footing in their field.
Some of these crops may be processed to be sold back to farmers for future use. These crops are purchased by seed companies who treat the crops and process them, then sell them to farmers to use the next season as seeds to plant their fields. Other examples of such a circular sale include crops that are purchased to produce animal feed, which is then later sold to farmers in the animal husbandry and livestock production fields.
In animal husbandry -
farmers concentrate on providing healthy, hearty livestock for later processing for consumption. Farmers often specialize in one type of animal in this field, carefully breeding the livestock to produce the best quality offspring each season. Offspring are then raised to take the place of the current breeding stock over time, with the current breeding stock sold after a period of time. Animal husbandry requires a strong knowledge of blood lines and species types, as well as the best possible out-crossings of those types to provide the best results in breeding.
Also, some offspring may be sold to other farms who specialize in livestock production to be raised for a specific production purpose. A veal farm is one example of a farm involved in specialized livestock production that may purchase offspring from an animal husbandry farm for a specific production purpose. As the calves must be placed on a special diet, these farms are responsible for holding the livestock to that diet, monitoring their health, and selling them to production facilities at the proper age, weight, and size to produce the necessary product requirements for their field. Animal production farmers will need to know the diets, illnesses, treatments, and growth rates necessary for their specialized areas.

Still thinking about your social media marketing as separate from your content marketing? Yikes! Social media and content marketing aren't separate silos. They go hand-in-hand and should be part of a single, integrated digital marketing plan. Separately, these two strategies can boost brand visibility and awareness, strengthen trust and loyalty, and drive conversions. Together, their impact is magnified.
Creating great content is just one part of the puzzle. If that content just sits on your blog, how is anyone going to know to read it? You need a smart social media distribution strategy that shares your best content on your social channels and engages your audience. The same goes for social media. It's all well and good to have a robust social presence, but tweeting for the sake of tweeting won't get you very far. There needs to be a clear purpose behind everything you say on social media. (Click to Tweet)A unified social media and content strategy will help your business achieve its marketing goals much faster, whether those goals are building brand awareness, driving lead generation or upselling to existing customers.
Here's how to get started:
- Start with a single brand voice.
There's a good chance the folks managing your social media accounts are not the same people writing your blog content. This is especially true if you rely on a team of freelance writers to support your content creation efforts. While there's nothing wrong with this setup, one downside is that it's easy for two (or more) distinct brand voices to develop. The first step to aligning social media and content creation is to take inventory of your current efforts and compare them against existing brand standards.
If you don't already have a single brand guide with rules for voice and tone, now is the time to create one! (Not sure where to get started? We're huge fans of this fantastic sample guide created by MailChimp.) Identify your target audiences across all platforms, create guidelines for how you talk about
your brand on different channels and establish a single brand voice moving forward.
- Create content with an eye towards social sharing.
As you write blog posts, eBooks, white papers etc., think about how this content will be shared over social media. Have your copywriter include a few suggestions for social media headlines in conjunction with the blog posts. Have your social team tailor these headlines for different channels, like your LinkedIn company page, Facebook and Twitter and add appropriate hashtags.
Finally, don't overlook other elements that make for viral content. Are there small graphics/infographics that could accompany some of this content and boost audience engagement when shared on social media? A provocative quote to tweet? What about a short video tutorial to accompany a how-to blog post? When you consider how a piece of content will be shared during the creation stage, it's easier to maximize the content's impact.
- Use social conversations to drive content creation.
When it comes to user engagement and brand awareness, content marketing and social media are two sides of the same coin. While it's important to create content with an eye towards social sharing (as discussed above), it's equally important to draw insights from social media conversations.
So, how do you use these insights to influence content creation? Start by identifying common threads that come up over and over again on social media. Maybe clients continually face the same challenge utilizing a feature on a product you sell and or don't understand all the ways a service you provide will be valuable. Maybe the common thread is a new challenge facing your industry or how a current event will impact business strategy.
By monitoring what's being said and by whom, you'll have a better idea about the topics your audience finds most relevant. It's much easier to generate engagement and enthusiasm around content that's aligned to topics your audience is already discussing than trying to start a brand new conversation!

Hurricane Katrina is still recent here in New Orleans, its scars too fresh to support even a well-intentioned metaphor about a protective wall being breached.
Yet as the Utah defense poured through to sack John Parker Wilson time and again, roaring through the gaping hole left by Andre Smith�s absence, it was difficult not to at see the similarity at the very least.
Take nothing away from Utah�s victory in the Sugar Bowl on Friday night. Take nothing away from the Utes� undefeated season, a singular and noteworthy accomplishment.
But the Alabama team the Utes defeated in the Sugar Bowl � a team without Andre Smith � was not quite the same Alabama team that went through its own regular season with a perfect record and spent a month as the No. 1 team in the land.
Or it was the same team as it was in the previous game without Smith, one that struggled against Tulane and required special-teams scoring for Alabama to win.
Utah isn�t the No. 1 team in the country, despite its perfect record, but it is a darn sight better than Tulane. Javier Arenas, who bailed the Crimson Tide out against the Green Wave, worked his return magic once in New Orleans, but it was not nearly enough.
With Smith out and his replacement, Mike Johnson, soon to follow, Alabama wasn�t well-equipped to run its offense under any circumstances. And when Utah came roaring out of the gate, scoring 21 points before the Crimson Tide knew what had hit it, it put Alabama in the very position that was least conducive to success � having to rely on a limited passing game to score 28 to 32 points in order to win.
You can�t lay the defensive struggles in the first quarter on the fact Smith wasn�t around. Utah looked well-prepared and knocked Alabama back on its heels and while Alabama righted itself, somewhat, over the final 49 minutes (allowing 10 more points). It just lacked the firepower to overcome that big early lead.
It was only appropriate Alabama�s last vestige hope vanished as John Parker Wilson was sacked, fumbling in Utah territory as the fourth quarter of the Sugar Bowl slipped away. Even the possession after that, Alabama�s last, included an eighth sack, then an interception on a desparate heave by a harried Wilson.
The loss to a team from outside the BCS, even a good one, concluded Alabama�s season in a fashion that tasted like the Peychaud�s bitters in a perfect New Orleans Sazerac.
It wasn�t nearly as palatable as the SEC Championship loss to Florida, a game in which Alabama gave great effort but lost to a superior opponent.
This time, Alabama played poorly � partly because of Smith�s absence, partly for no discernible reason � and lost to a good team. That�s tougher to take.
It doesn�t turn a memorable season into a bad way, and it doesn�t set the Crimson Tide�s ongoing rebuilding process back to Square One. It does reveal that there are still holes in Alabama�s roster � big-play scoring threats on offense, or a lockdown cornerback and a speedy pass rusher on defense � that will have to be addressed by more recruiting.
Another need that had been hidden all year is more big-time offensive linemen. That may have to come through a combination of player development and recruiting, but it is a priority.
�It starts up front,� Saban said. �That�s sort of the trademark of our team. We�ve done a great job all year up front and we didn�t tonight. We couldn�t run the ball and we couldn�t protect the passer very well. We lost two of our three best linemen, but we�re disappointed in the way we executed and the way we prepared our players to execute properly.
�We need more players. We need quality depth. We need a lot of things to be a team that is viewed as a dominant team on the national level.�
�I think we changed the mentality and the attitude that we can go out and play with anybody,� Wilson said when asked about his legacy. �That is a lot different than it was my freshman and sophomore year.�
There remains work to be done, though. The rebuilding effort at Alabama will continue. This game was never destined to be one of Alabama�s greatest Sugar Bowl appearances � the stakes were never as high as they were at the end of the 1978 season, or 1992 � but now, it can best be used as a learning experience.

fractured heel
Posted by
on 5/30/05 at 15:21 (175898)
I was trying to get some help for my son's heel. He fell some 10ft to the ground. His foot was found to have a fractured heel. They gave him soft splint and sent him home, only to call me and say that upon futher inspection that the heel was indeed fractured. He is in business for himself and does not have the money to go to a orthopedic dr. Can you give me some advice on how to help him with his foot. Do I need to put ice or heat.? It has been about 10 days since the accident. Thank you a concerned Mother

There is a message board called healthboards, they have a section on foot problems and there are quite a few threads about broken heels.

Love it
Great durable product. My refrigerator looks neat.Godes, NY
Finally I have found proper storage containers that actually clean well and look great when transporting or gifting. Perfect for school lunches too - Love the pen for messages and labeling.Cedar1, FL
So Fresh!
I was skeptical that this food storage system would just be another expensive form of a food storage system that we all already own. BUT once I received it and started using it in my kitchen, I realized that it really does have a little something extra. I believe that food stored in these containers does stay fresher longer. I love that it is sturdy, looks nice and it comes in sizes that are actually useful. I would highly recommend this product to other people who do most of their own cooking.HAW17, NY
So organized!!!!
I absolutely love my new containers. I have been constantly struggling to find containers that had good volume but didn't take up a lot of space in the fridge. The other day I was roasting a chicken and after rinsing i was able to set in the large size while I seasoned it - the tray helped to drain the liquid off of it and it also kept my raw chicken from sitting on my cutting board. I've totally stated using these in the pantry too. Everything labeled and dated. Also I had to bake and take cookies for my son's classroom last week and instead off struggling with foil and a tray, I was able to fit 24 cookies in the XL. Thank you chef for making mom life a lot easier and more organized!Maggie286, FL
I Love these storage canisters. I put some organic peaches in one that has the drain / air insert and it kept them fresh till the last one eaten a week later. I put some strawberries in another but had some problems with spoilage. However they were questionable overripe from the start. I Love the shape of these especially because they look so organized and fit better in the refrigerator. The small one's are a little to small so i'm using them in a craft room. The price is a bit steep, but since you can steam in these as well as store they are worth it. Just would have been more practical to have two lg, 2 med' as a set.lynndb3, CAWas this review helpful?

Zakarian Pro Canister set
Sent mine back. I did not like that it had condensation on the lid. I don't think it is meant for anything but using it for a party that you are having. I kept some leftovers in it and it did not accomplish the task. Maybe it would be great for entertaining or a picnic or potluck dinner saladcathy5018, WA
Need to redesign
I like these, well the one that isnt broken. The large one broke while i was tring to het the lid on. First the black liner cracked, but thought i would use it anyway, just not in freezer or as drip free. When i put the cover on the lid cracked! Disappointed, but i do like the, except i cant fit the small lids on, but the containers are so small anyway, unsure what i would use them for. Wish i could purchase just the medium sized ones. Do like the rack feature for salad. Great idea on that.janet257, WA
Lid doesn't fit
This product was a good idea, but there should have been a quality control to see that the lids fit the containers. The lids fit the smaller containers but the lid for the large container will not fit even after soaking in warm water. HSN offered a small refund, but now I have a large container which does not have a lid. Buy Lock N Lock containers, they are better quality.texasbmw, TXWas this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0) Report if inappropriate
lid issue
purchased these, the first shipment had the issue that the reviewer regarding the large container lid size, Figuring it was a fluke we returned it, and just got the replacement in, guess what, same issue. Not sure what the deal is with the manufacturing of these products. HSN should be able to spot check this.flower-shopper, TX
Can't Open These!
These are nicely constructed and sturdy, BUT I cannot open the dang things. You need superhuman Thor strength to get the lid off of these things. The smaller containers are especially challenging. I had a small container filled with a cheese sauce. When I went to open it, I had to pull on the lid so hard to get it off and the cheese sauce sprayed everywhere - grrr.Love Geoffrey Z. Was thrilled to get these, but they're going back.JessicaLeigh19, FLWas this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0) Report if inappropriate

The Victory Garden movement is on the rise again since World Wars I and II when people across the country started planting gardens to harvest their own fruits and vegetables to support the war. At that time, in 1943, because of the request from the U.S. government, almost a third of all fruits and vegetables consumed by Americans were home grown.
The city of Raleigh, North Carolina has planted their own Victory Garden in the city, but not to put fruits and vegetables on the table, it is to produce biodiesel that will power the city's vehicle fleet. Sunflowers will be grown to produce biofuel that can potentially reduce the city of Raleigh's dependence on fossil fuels. The sunflowers were planted on a 50-acre section of land in close proximity to the city's wastewater treatment plant.
The sunflower patch is projected to produce up to 5,000 gallons of biodiesel fuel that will be utilized within the city fleet. The $12,000 investment could prove to be very resourceful and inventive, inspiring other communities to follow in their path toward a more self-reliant existence.
This biofuel garden is part of the current Victory Garden movement championed by author Michael Pollan. Recently, First-Lady Michelle Obama made headlines by supporting the movement through planting her own Victory Garden on the South lawn of the White House. Additional information on the White House Victory Garden can be found at WhiteHouseFarmer.com. Also, find out how you can get involved by visiting www.revivevictorygarden.org!

Shah Rukh Khan Celebrates Eid With FansWednesday, September 07, 2011 Read more → asia, eid celebrations, India, movies, muslim lifestyle, videos In the name of God, entirely Compassionate, especially Merciful | Peace be with you
Born to a Muslim family but raised as a Hindu, 'My Name Is Khan' actor Shahrukh Khan shares his childhood memories of Eid with family.
The video, in Hindi, has a brief transcript below.
Link to video {http://youtu.be/0CHmkxyg6s8}
"You can all come to mine, at 6 we'll pray! And we'll make a du`a for everyone's well being and freedom.
When I was younger we used to attend the Eid namaz (prayer, Farsi/Hindi). It's unfortunate that I haven't been able to attend the prayers here in Bombay, so I pray at home or with friends.
I have two strong memories for Eid; once after filming, we were in the Egyptian desert (singing a song!) and it was the Eid celebrations. Absolutely nobody was in the desert, for 100km it was deserted. There were just 50 of us and we gathered to pray Eid salah there.
I also remember when my father and uncle took me on a 2 wheeler, and our sandals would get stolen or lost. We used to go for the Eid festival in south Delhi, my father would take me, and that is really important because as I get older I hope to take my son."

Con-trar-y - Con-tra-ry.
Disclaimer: I do not own Wuthering Heights.
Summary: "But as his aching jaw lingered over time, he'd finally realised what it was actually from. Smiling. He smiled all the time now, smiled at Joseph's disgruntled murmurs as Cathy reprimanded him for trailing mud into the finally scrubbed clean kitchen." A Team Hareton fanfiction.
Pairing: Cathy/Hareton
A/N: This has been a long time in the writing, but I remember xCharlie-Groupiex saying she'd one day like to see a happy Cathy/Hareton fic. This was the best I could do, as no matter where in the story, Wuthering Heights will always have some angst. And I stick by the way I've presented these characters. This is how I interpreted them from the books, and it always will be. So I hope you enjoy! :)
"Con-trar-y!" Cathy's voice rang out behind him in mock fury, and Hareton grinned as he heard the teasing glint in her words as she continued. "That for the third time, you dunce! I'm not going to tell you again. Recollect, or I'll pull your hair!"
Not that he would mind feeling her silken fingers clutch at his hair in that playful manner of hers, but he humoured her anyway, looking over his shoulder to his teacher.
"Con-trar-y, then. And now, kiss me for minding so well."
He watched her smile winningly, shaking her head at his request and he almost groaned until she answered.
"No, read it over first correctly without making a single mistake."
He could have done better. If it had not been for the promise of a kiss in reward he would probably have read it through perfectly, but such a distraction as her pearly white hand resting on his shoulder, slapping him on the cheek when his attention wavered, was too much for him to ignore.
Finally he stammered out the last lines, and span in his seat awaiting an undeserved kiss and he happily returned the five kisses she planted on his lips.
"Take a walk?" He managed to finally say as they parted and Cathy nodded eagerly, waiting for him to stand up before she let him take her hand in his as they walked out into the sunset, making a quick agreement to head out onto the moors.
"Ellen said that there is a Scottish fortune teller down in the village." Cathy told him after a few minutes of silence as they walked over the brush hand in hand.
"I wonder what they're doing in Yorkshire?" Hareton wondered.
"Especially if you could stay in Scotland!" Cathy agreed, squeezing his hand tighter, almost unconsciously, and he felt his heart leap, even at the now so familiar gesture.
"One day I'll take you to Scotland. To Edinburgh and Glasgow." He vowed, seeing the spark in her eyes as she spoke of travelling. "I'll take you to wherever you wan' t' go."
Cathy giggled, an impish grin growing on her face as she moved closer to him, her lips only a breath space from his.
"When you can read and spell them, then we'll see." She teased, pulling back with a giggle, and Hareton groaned as her face withdrew from his and she began to skip away joyfully. Not a second later he leapt at her, grabbing her around the waist and spinning her around as she shrieked delightedly.
They laughed as they span for a few moments, stopping only when dizziness overtook them and they collapsed to the ground, Cathy giggling delightedly as she spread out her arms sideways and looked up to the blue sky breathless.
Hareton looked sideways as he caught his breath, and couldn't keep the unwilling grin off his face as he admired the beautiful creature next to him. He watched her sigh contentedly, raising a hand to shield her eyes from the bright sunset, and as his smile grew he rubbed a hand over his aching jaw.
Months ago, when he'd first noticed the pain in his jaw, Cathy had just teased him. It was because he wasn't used to "opening his mouth and enunciating like a proper young gentleman" she'd said in that blunt way of hers, but with her tongue just poking through the gap in her delicate teeth to show that her words were only in jest. He'd agreed. It had been hard work as he'd learnt to read aloud. His voice now, although still deep, was so much softer, his words so much neater. His voice now sounded educated, and he smiled as he heard his voice become more and more beautiful everyday. Like Cathy's.
But as his aching jaw lingered over time, he'd finally realised what it was actually from.
He smiled all the time now, smiled at Joseph's disgruntled murmurs as Cathy, with her sharp tongue, reprimanded him for trailing mud into the finally scrubbed clean kitchen. He smiled at Cathy's tantrums that would start over the silliest of things, lasting overnight until she came downstairs in the morning, embarrassed and contrite, begging for a hug to lessen her guilt.
And then he began to laugh. Not cruel cackles or smirked chuckles, but big gravelly humour-filled laughs. He smiled fondly as he remembered how he'd misread a word from a book Cathy was teaching him with. Misread it as such a inappropriate word that Cathy had flushed scarlet, her long hidden innocence revealed as she averted her eyes mortified and he'd laughed aloud.
It had been hoarse and gravelly, and for a minute he'd wondered what the sound was until he'd spied a hint of a smile growing on Cathy's lips and he'd felt the laughter grow.
He now viewed the pain as a welcome ache, and he pushed it aside without complaint as Cathy rolled onto her side and leant forward, pressing a sweet kiss to his pained jaw as he smiled softly.
They took a moment to just look at each other, letting their feelings flow between them without words. They had no need for them. But, as always, the intense moment was cut short as Cathy's cheeks darkened shyly at his admiring gaze and she bit her lip, looking down to the ground.
After everything she'd gone through, it was sometimes a shock for him to remember that she was still so innocent. Although it had meant nothing, he'd been with women before. It had been expected, growing up with Heathcliff as the closest thing he had to a father. But he knew that whilst he had a little experience, Cathy had only ever shared kisses with Linton. Somehow it had never occurred to Heathcliff that Linton hadn't actually made their marriage official.
He remembered her wedding night, how he'd been laying unable to sleep in his room and had listened to Linton enter the room next door to meet his new wife. He'd heard her cry and scream, throwing things around the room as she refused to get into bed, something that Linton only managed to contend with for five minutes before he'd stormed from their room, moaning at how her crying vexed him so, the noise giving him a headache so he was unable to sleep.
He'd known that Linton had not forced her into anything that night, his tantrum had indicated that he'd only wished to sleep, obviously exhausted as he ailed more every day. But Hareton remembered how he'd made a decision in the space of a second, quickly making his way from his room and quietly moving to the next bedroom. The old key had sat in the lock and he'd reached out carefully, hearing a creaking judder as he let the key turn locking her inside, before he pocketed it.
He couldn't do anything else for her, but he could keep her safe and alone in her room that night.
"We should be heading back soon." Cathy said quietly from beside him, drawing him from the painful memories of the past year, and bringing him back to the present where the sun had gradually set and darkness began to creep in around them.
He watched as she sat up and he followed immediately, reaching a rough, weathered hand to cup her soft cheek, letting his fingers rub tenderly on her chin until she looked at him, her eyes showing the deep depth of insecurity she hid so well behind her cheeky grins and saucy tongue.
He felt the guilt hit him hard.
Her insecurity only served as a reminder of the sharp slap he'd delivered to her mouth all those months ago, and he swallowed hard as he caressed her long healed lip gently.
"'m sorry for 'itting you." He said suddenly, his uneducated accent slipping through slightly as the apology slipped from his lips.
Cathy just smiled.
"I deserved that." She said softly, "I'm sorry I was so cruel."
Her words did nothing to lessen the guilt he could feel burning through his chest, and he spoke again desperately, "I'll never do it again. I'll never treat you like your less than me, I'll never force you into anything you're not-" he watched her flush again, and he knew they'd reached dangerous territory. The way her hands twisted in her lap as she looked down to them, avoiding his eyes, told him he'd reached the root of her worries.
The wedding night.
"I'm scared." She blurted desperately before he could even think of a gentle way to address the situation. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears and his natural instinct to protect her from pain jumped in, and he moved forward to kiss her forehead gently and pull her into his embrace.
Of course she was scared. The only love she'd ever experienced was the love of a father. She'd loved Linton who'd treated her as property and she'd been locked up in a house by a jailor who was mad for love of a woman he could never have.
As he stroked her hair gently, he opened his mouth to speak, only to close it again instantly. He wasn't good with words, he never had been, and no matter how many books she taught him to read, he knew he never would be. But as he finally spoke, stumbling over the words his heart wished to speak, he managed to vow, "I'll never do anything to hurt you."
And that was all she needed to move back from his embrace, and let a small smile grace her lips as the insecurity vanished from her eyes.
"Will you let me help manage the Grange," she asked, "when we are married?"
He laughed at her shy yet excited tone, feeling the ever present sting of his jaw as he pulled himself up to his feet and reached down to pull her up too.
" 'Course." He said smiling, before frowning and trying again. "Of course." He perfected and Cathy beamed at him, pleased with his progress as they entwined fingers and head for the Heights letting their eyes adjust to their rapidly darkening surroundings.
The moon was up by the time they returned and, before they head into the house, Hareton stopped, taking a moment to stare at the beauty before him in the full light of the moon. Cathy turned to him and smiled softly.
"And all will be quite con-tra-ry." He murmured, only for him to receive a hit on the arm.
"It's Con-trar-y! How many times you dunce?"
A/N: Thank you for reading! Please review. I'd love to hear your thoughts. And constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
And for any A Level students out there studying the book; this fic is based on an events mentioned in Chapter 32 and Chapter 34.
Cathy and Linton's wedding night was inspired by Linton's line; "I can't stay with her. I'll not stay by myself. She cried so I can't bear it. And she won't give over, though I say I'll call my father. I did call him once, and he threatened to strangle her, if she was not quiet; but she began again the instant he left the room, moaning and grieving all night long, though I screamed for vexation that I couldn't sleep." – Chapter 28

Back in May I last mentioned this sweater and the yarn I had chosen.
To be honest I thought it would have been a much longer process to document, but I just couldn't put it down... a testament to the yarn, but also my sweater mojo recently.
So last time you had seen me knit just the neckline and beginnings of the sleeves... as this is my own design I had to do a bit of tinking back here and there to get the fit I liked.
The armholes proved the most challenging as I had to knit almost to the bust to get a true idea of whether my underarm cast on was right... as you can see it was not!
Far too much fabric... tink back...
and re-knit.
I felt much better with this. It sits well at the shoulder too.
From here it was really all about how I chose to graduate my yarn colours...
I've had many of you comment on my Instagram feed that you would love to see me write up a pattern for this sweater... yes, I can do that... but I'm going to be honest this will be a recipe knit and not a fully graded pattern... a bespoke knit that requires you to do maths for your sweater and body shaping. I'm doing this for two reasons; firstly my bust is disproportionate to my size and so grading would not be perfect for all. Secondly, I think the design would fit much better as a custom fit to your body.
Keep an eye out on the blog for more details.
Have a wonderful day... Sara x

The proliferation of non-governmental organisations or NGOs, has been a striking trend in recent decades. And the evidence suggests that the public invests a great deal more trust in NGOs like Amnesty and Greenpeace than in politicians or business people. Research by Edelman Public Relations found almost one-third of Europeans trusting NGOs to do the right thing, with just one-fifth trusting national governments, 15% business and 11% the media. Strikingly, three-quarters of all respondents said they thought NGO influence had grown.
Fine, but how do we know that such groups do the right thing? There are various answers. One is that not-for-profit groups often have trustees with responsibility to keep things above board. But, at a time when growing numbers of companies have been responding to NGO demands for greater corporate accountability and transparency, what are NGOs doing to ensure they operate in the same goldfish bowl?
This is a question increasingly raised by business people. Where they once demanded to know who NGOs represented, now they want to know whether NGOs practise what they preach. We are not an NGO, but this is an issue to which SustainAbility became sensitive five years ago. As a founder-signatory of the International Chamber of Commerce's Business Charter for Sustainable Development in 1991, we encouraged the business world to begin environmental reporting. It took five years to realise that this also applied to us.
In 1996 we published a self-assessment report called Environmentalism Is Not Enough, reviewing our performance against the 16 ICC principles. One of these requires companies to evaluate the impact of their products and services. Products are not too difficult to deal with, but what about services? What do you measure if you are dedicated to changing people's hearts and minds?
There are few answers as yet, but a number of NGOs have produced useful environ mental reports. Forum for the Future published one recently and the UK end of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has just launched its first externally verified environmental report. This covers such things as emissions of greenhouse gases, but deputy chief executive Leslie Jones notes that thorny issues still to be addressed include the "service effects" and social impacts of WWF's work.
The service effects are direct environmental impacts linked with WWF's core conservation activities. But there are other issues NGOs must address. In our report we stressed the need to evolve new ways of measuring the impact of our work on the thinking and priorities of the public and client companies. The questions are on our website. But a key issue for mainstream NGOs, and increasingly for companies, relates to lobbying. Who are they lobbying, on what issues, with what outcomes in mind? In this sense, reports like WWF's are still eco-efficiency, rather than eco-effectiveness reports. Progress, certainly, but recall the case of Caesar's wife. Like NGOs, she wielded huge influence, but knew she had to be seen to be whiter than white.
John Elkington is chairman of SustainAbility and co-author of The Global Reporters: The First International Survey of Corporate Sustainability Reporting.

Constraining Elementary Teachers' Work: Dilemmas and Paradoxes Created by State Mandated Testing
Susan Notes: Although this study took place in New York, teachers across America will see themselves in the words of these 4th grade teachers who describe how state tests undermine their abilities to do their jobs with integrity. That with integrity is important. It is a word teachers must not abandon.

Martinsville Reporter-Times: Donnelly's focus is jobs in Senate campaign
MARTINSVILLE — Jobs are the key issues in the campaign for the U.S. Senate of U.S. Rep Joe Donnelly, he says.
Donnelly, the sole Democratic candidate for his party's nomination, will be running against either incumbent U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar or his GOP primary opponent, state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, in the fall election.
A three-term member of Congress, Donnelly says: "The most important issue is job creation and job opportunities for every Hoosier."
When Donnelly was asked how that could be achieved, he said, "We go about doing that by making sure every Hoosier gets the best education possible, that we stand up for our country and don't worry about making the Chinese or anyone else happy. We work to have fair trade."
In order to compete, the United States and other nations need to make sure Chinese currency is fairly valued, he said.
"They (the Chinese) undercut their currency value by 30 percent because what it does is give them an advantage," Donnelly said. "So what we're trying to do is make sure everybody plays by the rules."
Additionally, the United States needs to work to see there are no trade deals that unfairly give other countries an advantage over the nation. Also, intellectual property needs to be protected so others don't steal what others have created, he said.
Donnelly said, "By being the most advanced in manufacturing, having the most talented workers and standing up for American workers, we can compete in any industry.
"By being more efficient, by running an operation that uses the most advanced technology, we can compete with anybody."
Education is important, but the cost of higher education is a challenge. There are, however, ways that can be addressed, he said.
"We have Ivy Tech, which is approximately $3,000 per year," Donnelly said. "You can finish up at Ivy Tech for a little bit over $10,000. We have the opportunity to receive scholarships, assistance that can be provided, so there are ways to get an excellent college education for a reasonable cost."
There is, however, a growing gap between those who can easily afford higher education and those with more limited financial resources.
"What we want to try and do is eliminate that as much as possible. You can go to IU or Purdue and still be able to come out with no student debt or very little, because for our own students, we can provide scholarship packages along with in-state tuition itself," Donnelly said. "There are a number of ways we can approach it."
President Obama
Donnelly said he has agreed with President Barack Obama on some occasions, but not always.
"When they are right, I agree with them," Donnelly said of the Democratic administration. "When they're not, I don't."
Donnelly said an example of when Obama was right was what the administration did for the automobile industry.
"There are 5,000 people building transmissions in the congressional district I represent every day because they decided to help the American automobile industry, and that created jobs not only through our entire state, but through our entire country," Donnelly said. "I thought that was very, very important to do.
"They were certainly right when they went after Osama bin Laden. As the bumper sticker says, 'bin Laden is dead and the American automobile industry is alive.'"
Donnelly also supported the health care reform legislation passed during the Obama administration.
"I supported health care because we need to control costs," Donnelly said. "I thought for seniors it enabled them to get prescriptions at 50 percent off, for those with pre-existing conditions like diabetes it enabled them to get coverage when in many cases that was for the first time in their lives.
"So it did some good things."
Even if the U.S. Supreme Court rules the health care reforms are unconstitutional, "there is an understanding in America that we have to control health care costs for our economy," the congressman said.
Donnelly, however, doesn't agree with the president's cap-and-trade position.
"I didn't think that made sense for Indiana," the Democratic candidate said.
Differences with Lugar
Health care and jobs are areas of key distinctions between Lugar and himself, the incumbent said.
"He (Lugar) supports a Medicare voucher program that in effect privatizes Medicare and puts seniors in danger," Donnelly said. "Number two, he supports all of those trade deals that shipped jobs overseas.
"I respect Sen. Lugar, but I certainly don't agree with him on those positions."
Issues related to jobs will be the deciding issues, the congressman said.
"Who has the best vision, the best plans to create more jobs," Donnelly said, "to create a great economic future for Indiana."
Donnelly said there are several things voters might not know about him and that he'd be honored to represent the state as a U.S. senator.
"I take a view that I'm the hired help," Donnelly said. "I work for the people of our state, and what folks need to know is I'm someone who's worked hard every day, ran a business, who didn't spend his life in government, but spent most every year in private business.
"I come from a world where we try to work together, try to make sure that we have an opportunity to succeed, and that's what I want to see for every Hoosier."

From Chapter I., The Milesian School
29. The Parts of the World
He says that, as the air was felted, the earth first came into being. It is very broad and is accordingly supported by the air.— Ps.-Plut. Strom. fr. 3 (R. P. 25).
In the same way the sun and the moon and the other heavenly bodies, which are of a fiery nature, are supported by the air because of their breadth. The heavenly bodies were produced from the earth by moisture rising from it. When this is rarefied, fire comes into being, and the stars are composed of the fire thus raised aloft. There were also bodies of earthy substance in the region of the stars, revolving along with them. And he says that the heavenly bodies do not move under the earth, as others suppose, but round it, as a cap turns round our head. The sun is hidden from sight, not because it goes under the earth, but because it is concealed by the higher parts of the earth, and because its distance from us becomes greater. The stars give no heat because of the greatness of their distance.—Hipp. Ref. i. 7, 4-6 (R. P. 28).
Winds are produced when air is condensed and rushes along under propulsion; but when it is concentrated and thickened still more, clouds are generated; and, lastly, it turns to water.117 -Hipp. Ref. i. 7, 7 (Dox. p. 561).
The stars [are fixed like nails in the crystalline vault of the heavens, but some say they] are fiery leaves, like paintings.118—Aet. ii. 14, 3 (Dox. p. 344).
They do not go under the earth, but turn round it.—Ib. 16, 6 (Dox. p. 348).
The sun is fiery.—Ib. 20, 2 (Dox. p. 348).
It is broad like a leaf.—Ib. 22, 1 (Dox. p. 352).
The heavenly bodies turn back in their courses119 owing to the resistance of compressed air.—Ib. 23, 1 (Dox. p. 352).
The moon is of fire.—Ib. 25, 2 (Dox. p. 356).
Anaximenes explained lightning like Anaximander, adding as an illustration what happens in the case of the sea, which flashes when divided by the oars—Ib. iii. 3, 2 (Dox. p. 368).
Hail is produced when water freezes in falling; snow, when there is some air imprisoned in the water.—Aet. iii. 4, 1 (Dox. p. 370).
The rainbow is produced when the beams of the sun fall on thick condensed air. Hence the anterior part of it seems red, being burnt by the sun's rays, while the other part is dark, owing to the predominance of moisture. And he says that a rainbow is produced at night by the moon, but not often, because there is not constantly a full moon, and because the moon's light is weaker than that of the sun.—Schol,. Arat.120 (Dox. p. 231).
The earth was like a table in shape.—Aet. iii. 10, 3 (Dox. p. 377).
The cause of earthquakes was the dryness and moisture of the earth, occasioned by droughts and heavy rains respectively. —Ib. 15, 3 (Dox. p. 379).
We have seen that Anaximenes was justified in going back to Thales in regard to the nature of primary substance; but the effect upon the details of his cosmology was unfortunate. The earth is once more imagined as a table-like disc floating on the air. The sun, moon, and stars are also fiery discs which float on the air "like leaves"; an idea naturally suggested by the "eddy" (δίνη). It follows that the heavenly bodies cannot go under the earth at night, as Anaximander must have held, but only round it laterally like a cap or a millstone.121 This view is also mentioned in Aristotle's Meteorology,122 where the elevation of the northern parts of the earth, which makes it possible for the heavenly bodies to be hidden from sight, is referred to. This is only meant to explain why the stars outside the Arctic circle appear to rise and set, and the explanation is fairly adequate if we remember that the world is regarded as rotating in a plane. It is quite inconsistent with the theory of a celestial sphere.123
The earthy bodies, which circulate among the planets, are doubtless intended to account for eclipses
and the phases of the moon.124
Burnet's Notes
117. The text is very corrupt here. I retain ἐκπεπυκνωμένος, because we are told above that winds are condensed air.
118. See below, p. 77, n. 4.
119. This can only refer to the τροπαί of the sun, though it is loosely stated of τὰ ἄστρα generally. It occurs in the chapter Περὶ τροπῶν ἡλίου, and we cannot interpret it as if it were a detached statement.
120. The source of this is Poseidonios, who used Theophrastos. Dox. p. 231.
121. Theodoret (iv. 16) speaks of those who believe in a revolution like that of a millstone, as contrasted with one like that of a wheel. Diels (Dox. p. 46) refers these similes to Anaximenes and Anaximander respectively. They come, of course, from Aetios (Note on Sources, § 10), though they are given neither by Stobaios nor in the Placita.
122. B, 1. 354 a 28 (R. P. 28 c).
123. For this reason, I now reject the statement of Aetios, ii. 14, 3 (p. 76), Ἀναξιμένης ἥλων δίκην καταπεπηγέναι τῷ κρυσταλλοειδεῖ. That there is some confusion of names here is strongly suggested by the words which immediately follow, ἔνιοι δὲ πέταλα εἶναι πύρινα ὥσπερ τὰ ζωγραφήματα, which is surely the genuine doctrine of Anaximenes. I understand ζωγραφήματα of the constellations (cf. Plato, Tim. 55c). To regard the stars as fixed to a crystalline sphere is quite inconsistent with the far better attested doctrine that they do not go under the earth.
124. See Tannery, Science hellène, p. 153. For the precisely similar bodies assumed by Anaxagoras, see below, Chap. VI. § 135. See further Chap. VII. § 151.

Read Kensington's description of The Honey Well
Book Reviewed by Thumper
I had never made a wish like this before. Believe me; I don't harbor any gender bending, transsexual fantasies. But, after reading Gloria Mallette's latest novel, The Honey Well, I temporarily wished I wore one of those large, eye popping church hat, with a wig bobby pinned to it. So I can snatch it off my head and throw it at Gloria Mallette for writing this book! Mallette's novel of an abusive mother-daughter relationship is awesome! I loved Mallette's previous novels, Shades of Jade and Promises to Keep. I know she is a good writer who has never failed to entertain me. But, with The Honey Well, Mallette kicked it up to a whole other level. The Honey Well is an incredible, emotionally stunning novel that is simply unforgettable.
Arnell Anderson was 16 years old when her mother, Esther, approached her with an ugly request. Since their rent was months past due; Esther asked, then begged, and then told Arnell to sleep with their old Jewish landlord, so they would not be evicted. This request evolved into careers for Arnell and Esther. Arnell became a high priced prostitute and Esther became her pimp/madam. Years later, Arnell is ready to take control of her life. She has a college degree, a nice home, and is engaged to the socially prominent James Stanton. The only gray cloud in Arnell's blue sky future is Esther, who is willing to do anything to maintain her dominance over Arnell.
I am completely ecstatic over The Honey Well. I was immediately swept up into the story, which flowed like a pleasant dream. When I heard about the book last year, I was warned that the novel was unlike Mallette's previously published novels Shades of Jade and Promises to Keep. I was not lied to. The Honey Well is not a suspense/murder novel. You all have heard me say it in the past, and I will probably say it a thousand more times before I am done, there's no drama like family drama. The Honey Well proves how right I am.
The Honey Well would not have succeeded without well-developed characters that are strong, complex and flawed. Arnell and Esther are marvelous. The personalities of the mother and daughter played off the other brilliantly. Esther. Let me tell you about my girl Esther. Esther is a stone cold TRIP! She is without a doubt the mother from hell. Her love for Arnell is evident and twisted. But, in Esther, I also see how some mothers eat their young. I love how Mallette depicted Esther. Esther has different sides to her persona, a few of them paints conflicting images of her; thereby, making her utterly fascinating to watch. In the hands of a less talented author, Esther could have easily become a two dimensional villain. If Mallette had taken this route, The Honey Well would have failed miserably.
Arnell is also a study in dissimilarities: she loves her mother, yet she hates her; she knows Esther is manipulative, yet she continues to be drawn to her; she wants to get away from Esther, yet she can never bring herself to leave her. Arnell has one foot in reality and the other in dreamland. I found Arnell's battling emotions, wishes for a future without Esther, and longing for a mother's love without being victimized captivating.
As remarkable as The Honey Well is, I have one small problem with it. Mallette included a subplot which featured a teenager, Trena Gaitland, who gets caught up in Arnell and Esther's world of prostitution. While the subplot in and of itself is not bad and Mallette does a fine job in developing the characters. However, it did not enhance the already rich main plot. Trena and her troubles only took time away from Arnell and Esther. I could have done without it.
The Honey Well is an amazing book! Being drawn into the story was as easy as
falling out of bed. The sweet, poignant, painful and spicy story flowed
effortlessly. The novel is the perfect illustration of the depth of Mallette's
talent and skill. I can not WAIT to see what Mallette has up her sleeve for her
next book.
