Editor's Choice: 'Hold the Dark' by William Giraldi
September 4, 2014
If dark, violent novels aren't usually my cup of tea, why did "Hold the Dark" exert such a hold over me, right from the start?
Editor's choice: 'The Story of Land and Sea' by Katy Simpson Smith
August 28, 2014
This may be a novel of ships and sea adventure, Revolutionary War battles and the brutality of slavery, but it is no period-piece costume drama. Far from the power centers of Paul Revere and Betsy Ross in Boston and Philadelphia, Katy Simpson Smith brings readers into a small North Carolina coastal town in this wonderful debut novel, "The Story of Land and Sea: A Novel."
Editor's choice: 'All Our Names' by Dinaw Mengestu
August 13, 2014
At first glance, "All Our Names" seems to be a straightforward immigrant story. A young man, carrying the name of Isaac on his passport, has come from Uganda to Laurel, a small Midwestern town, on a one-year student visa. His case is assigned to Helen, with Lutheran Relief Services. Chapters segue between those in Uganda narrated by Isaac, and those in America, narrated by Helen.
Editor's choice: 'Flying Shoes' by Lisa Howorth
July 30, 2014
In the opening pages of Lisa Howorth's "Flying Shoes," it seems that we're heading into a crime novel. Mary Byrd Thornton is unloading the dishwasher, half-listening to NPR when she answers the phone. A detective is on the line with the news that the case of her stepbrother's murder, on Mother's Day 1966, has been reopened because new evidence has emerged.
Editor's choice: 'The Stager' by Susan Coll
July 16, 2014
"This elegant 4.5 bedroom, 4 full and 2 half bath Flemish Villa sits on 1.5 meticulously landscaped acres in the private, gated enclave known as The Flanders!"
Editor's choice: 'Last Night at the Blue Angel' by Rebecca Rotert
July 10, 2014
The floorboards are rotting, the plumbing pipes drip and tables are stabilized by matchbooks jammed under their legs. The Chicago jazz club may be in decline, but on stage a sultry singer in silver sequins is on the rise. Her 10-year-old daughter sits behind the stage's velvet curtain, on a yellow tape X marking the floor. She watches her mother and studies the crowd.
Editor's choice: 'Revolutionary Summer' by Joseph J. Ellis
July 3, 2014
For "Revolutionary Summer: The Birth of American Independence," Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Joseph J. Ellis time-travels to the summer of 1776, when the 13 colonies agreed to secede from the British Empire.
Editor's choice: 'The Shelf' by Phyllis Rose
June 25, 2014
How I miss the random discoveries of the library card catalog. The pull of the drawer, the worn edges on the cards, how the row seemed to fall open on the popular letters — like A or S.
Editor's choice: 'Above the East China Sea' by Sarah Bird
June 23, 2014
When conversation about World War II turns toward the East, toward Asia, attention generally focuses on the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Battle of Iwo Jima or the horrors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Editor's choice: 'The Frangipani Hotel' by Violet Kupersmith
March 29, 2014
"The Frangipani Hotel," a debut collection of thematically linked short stories, opens with "Boat Story," in which a girl working on a school project meets her Vietnamese grandmother's resistance and is told to consult her father. The girl complains: "He came over on a plane in the eighties, and that's not half as exciting. That'll get me a B if I'm lucky. But your boat person story? Jackpot. Communists! Thai pirates! Starvation! That's an A-plus story."
Editor's choice: 'The Opposite of Loneliness' by Marina Keegan
March 21, 2014
"We don't have a word for the opposite of loneliness, but if we did, I could say that's what I want in life," wrote Marina Keegan.
Editor's choice: 'Body Counts' by Sean Strub
March 7, 2014
In the mid-1980s, a friend of mine summoned me to the hospital and designated me responsible for decisions regarding his medical care. He had walked into the emergency room and been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS a few hours before. He was dead within two weeks.
Editor's choice: Kinder Than Solitude
March 1, 2014
How can a novel feel so suspenseful yet its plot seem so beside the point? How can a work of fiction be so slender yet so broad in scope? Only a great talent like Yiyun Li could perform this magic.
Editor's choice: 'For the Benefit of Those Who See'
February 21, 2014
One summer, teenage Rosemary Mahoney worked on Martha's Vineyard for hard-drinking, chain-smoking, social-climbing, brilliant Lillian Hellman. What could have been a snarky recounting became Mahoney's unforgettable memoir, "A Likely Story," which I rushed to read.
Editor's Choice: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
February 15, 2014
Once Marilyn Monroe bewitched the world with her rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," in the 1953 film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," her performance eclipsed what Edith Wharton called "the great American Novel (at last!)."
'The Novel Cure' by Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin
December 21, 2013
"Can you recommend a book?" is a frequent question in my line of work, and I plan to recommend "The Novel Cure: From Abandonment to Zestlessness: 751 Books to Cure What Ails You" to the next person who asks me.
'My Mistake' by Daniel Menaker is this week's Editor's Choice
November 23, 2013
At the epicenter of literary New York, Daniel Menaker is an irreverent guide to the publishing world's inner workings. In "My Mistake," Menaker, who worked 26 years at The New Yorker and was editor in chief of Random House, tells great stories about editors William Shawn (quirky), Tina Brown (in hot pursuit of what's hot), William Maxwell, Roger Angell and others.
'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' by Helen Fielding
October 14, 2013
Monday 23 April 2012
'Early Decision' by Lacy Crawford
August 30, 2013
It used to be that April was the cruelest month for high school seniors applying to colleges, but with rolling acceptance and early action, college admissions are a year-round affair — or lifetime campaign.
'The Measures Between Us' by Ethan Hauser
August 2, 2013
He captured my attention with his resonant short story "Vigilance," about a father who is summoned by the police to answer questions about his missing child. With his new novel, Ethan Hauser fulfills the promise of his story, which was a Nelson Algren Short Story Award finalist in 2008, and demonstrates his ability to sustain multiple interlocking narratives.
'The Engagements' by J. Courtney Sullivan
July 26, 2013
Samuel Johnson said that marriage is a triumph of hope over experience. Oscar Wilde said that it's a triumph over intelligence. But J. Courtney Sullivan takes the cake when it comes to tying the knot.
'Appointment in Samarra' by John O'Hara
July 19, 2013
With a dazzling new cover and smart new introduction, one of my favorite novels, "Appointment in Samarra" by John O'Hara, is reborn.
'The Woman Upstairs' by Claire Messud
June 28, 2013
A novel with a first-person narrator — a frustrated elementary schoolteacher with thwarted artistic ambitions — may not seem like the most promising or original premise. But even the most skeptical of readers will be seduced by the opening lines: "How angry am I? You don't want to know."
'Sparta' by Roxana Robinson
June 21, 2013
"What was there to say?" wonders Conrad Farrell, a 26-year-old Marine, just home from Iraq. He doesn't like the thought that the war had twisted him inside, made it so he couldn't fit in back home. But that is his reality — and the profound question he poses is at the heart of "Sparta," Roxana Robinson's wonderful new novel.
'Hold Fast' by Blue Balliett
May 17, 2013
Hold fast to dreams
Editor's choice: "The Humanity Project" by Jean Thompson
May 13, 2013
Jean Thompson is one of my favorite fiction writers, and her new novel, "The Humanity Project," didn't let me down.
"A Nearly Perfect Copy" by Allison Amend
April 26, 2013
In the gifted hands of Allison Amend, the international art world is so full of intrigue and makes for such a smart page turner that when one is finished with the delicious novel "A Nearly Perfect Copy," a trip to the Art Institute of Chicago is in order.
'Significant Objects' Edited by Joshua Glenn and Rob Walker
April 5, 2013
The "Significant Objects" project posed a simple question: Can a great story transform a worthless trinket into a significant object?
'Mary Coin' by Marisa Silver
April 1, 2013
Though it may be accurate to say that Marisa Silver's novel "Mary Coin" was inspired by Dorothea Lange's iconic Depression-era "Migrant Mother" photograph, it does not do justice to this extraordinary work of fiction. Silver infuses the vague outlines of the image — a 32-year-old mother supporting her six children picking peas, sitting at the roadside — with the power of her imagination.
'Always Apprentices' edited by Sheila Heti, Ross Simonini and Vendela Vida
March 23, 2013
In "Always Apprentices: The Believer Magazine Presents Twenty-Two Conversations Between Writers," we learn that when Joan Didion was learning to write, she would retype the beginning passages from Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" on her standard Royal typewriter.
'Sticks and Stones' by Emily Bazelon
March 15, 2013
While sticks and stones may break bones, words really can hurt. But what's the responsibility of everyone in the orbit of teenage drama? Emily Bazelon wrestles that question to the ground in her important new book, "Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy."
'Little Known Facts' by Christine Sneed
February 23, 2013
The expression "Hollywood novel" brings to mind cartoonish characters and outlandish plots, but Christine Sneed's "Little Known Facts" is anything but a tabloid novel. Sneed is an accomplished short story writer, and she makes that talent abundantly clear in this debut novel.
'Schroder' by Amity Gaige
February 15, 2013
Here's the basic elevator speech for "Schroder": A divorced father, in jail after absconding with his 6-year-old daughter, writes a letter to his ex-wife.
'News From Heaven: The Bakerton Stories' by Jennifer Haigh
February 1, 2013
Fans of Elizabeth Strout's Pulitzer Prize-winning "Olive Kitteridge" will succumb to the lure of Jennifer Haigh's latest book, "News From Heaven: The Bakerton Stories." Haigh's latest book, like Strout's, is a series of interconnected stories that come together and tap into a wide range of human emotions.
'The Next Time You See Me' by Holly Goddard Jones
January 25, 2013
Have you turned the last pages of Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl" and don't know what to pick up next?
'In the House of the Interpreter' by Ngugi wa Thiong'o
January 18, 2013
Returning from his first term at boarding school by train, proudly wearing his uniform and eager to share the news with his mother that he is among the top in his class, Ngugi wa Thiong'o arrives home in Kenya, but his family is not there.
'Magical Journey' by Katrina Kenison
January 11, 2013
In this moving memoir, Katrina Kenison beckons readers into her world and proves to be an insightful guide and companion through the vicissitudes of life.
'Open Heart' by Elie Wiesel
December 14, 2012
Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate, underwent emergency open-heart surgery two years ago at age 82 after doctors discovered he had five blocked arteries. For three days, physicians didn't know whether he would live.
'The Twelve Tribes of Hattie' by Ayana Mathis
December 7, 2012
Because I have roots in Philadelphia, my enthusiasm for a novel set in the City of Brotherly Love may be regarded as reflexive by some, knowing and discerning by others.
'Walter's Perspective' by Walter Jacobson
December 3, 2012
In a town where politics is local sport, Walter Jacobson had a ringside seat, and he shares it in his new book, "Walter's Perspective: A Memoir of Fifty Years in Chicago TV News." Earning his stripes at the City News Bureau as a reporter, he skyrocketed to television, where he became a commentator and anchor. With co-anchor Bill Kurtis, Jacobson enjoyed TV's glory in its golden age.
'Walter's Perspective' by Walter Jacobson
December 1, 2012
In a town where politics is local sport, Walter Jacobson had a ringside seat, and he shares it in his new book, "Walter's Perspective: A Memoir of Fifty Years in Chicago TV News." Earning his stripes at the City News Bureau as a reporter, he skyrocketed to television, where he became a commentator and anchor. With co-anchor Bill Kurtis, Jacobson enjoyed TV's glory in its golden age.
'American Lady' by Caroline de Margerie
November 10, 2012
Before blue states and red states, PACs or cable news, there was the era of Susan Mary Alsop, known as "the second lady of Camelot," who ruled a kingdom called Georgetown beginning in the 1960s. More than just a hostess, Alsop — a descendant of founding father John Jay and married to columnist Joe Alsop — reigned for more than four decades. Her home was a gathering place for real conversation about issues like the SALT talks and the war in Vietnam, not the shallow meet-and-greet affairs that characterize parties today.
The Middlesteins by Jami Attenberg
November 6, 2012
The yellow and red McDonalds hued cover of "The Middlesteins" suggests that readers are in for a trip into the world of the supersized. In one way, Jami Attenberg's new novel is about a woman's obsession with food, but it's also about her family and all those who are part of her suburban Chicago and Jewish world.
'Canada' by Richard Ford
October 27, 2012
This is a hard book to read, because while the story compels readers to read with urgency, the linguistic prowess is so stunning that one is forced to slow down and reread passages.
'The Scientists: A Family Romance' by Marco Roth
October 16, 2012
Woody Allen's Manhattan movies, particularly "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986) inhabit the same liberal, Jewish, Upper West Side life as Marco Roth's affecting memoir "The Scientists," which evokes that world of intellectuals, Oriental rugs and a postwar highbrow aesthetic of Schubert, Turgenev and Mann.
'How Children Succeed' by Paul Tough
October 1, 2012
In Paul Tough's first book, "Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada's Quest to Change Harlem and America," he focused on the Harlem Children's Zone, a 97-block area where Canada set about overhauling the neighborhood with comprehensive social programs, such as after-school activities and parenting classes, that extended beyond the classroom and reshaped the childhood experience.
'The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2012'
September 21, 2012
As a devoted fan of this series (this is the 11th volume), I can report that this year's anthology of 32 selections might be the best yet. High school students from 826Michigan and 826 Valencia, parts of Dave Eggers' network of nonprofit writing and tutoring centers, helped select these eclectic pieces of writing, which include short fiction, essays and less formal expressions of thought.
'The Other America' by Michael Harrington
September 14, 2012
A new edition of Michael Harrington's "The Other America: Poverty in the United States," an eloquent appeal to the American conscience, has been published on the occasion of the book's 50th anniversary.
'Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures' by Emma Straub
September 2, 2012
When Elsa Emerson, the youngest of three sisters and mascot of her family's Cherry County Playhouse in Door County, Wis., is beckoned to the stage by her director father to toss paper petals out of a little basket, the audience greets her with wild applause. The transformation of the little blonde girl into a sultry brunette Academy-Award-winning Hollywood movie star renamed Laura Lamont provides the structure of Emma Straub's debut novel, "Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures."
Nuclear stories
August 26, 2012
Kristen Iversen grew up in Colorado, in a small town near a secret nuclear bomb factory, although she didn't know it at the time. The factory was so under the radar that many believed the plant made cleaning supplies, like Scrubbing Bubbles. After years abroad, Iversen returned home, and the result is Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats. It's part memoir, part investigation and, as Rebecca Skloot, author of "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," put it, "as personal and powerful as Silkwood."
'We Sinners' by Hanna Pylvainen
August 18, 2012
"She should have told him already about the church but she hadn't," begins this kaleidoscopic debut novel, at the center of which is a Midwest family of 11 — parents and nine children — who are adherents to a conservative Finnish faith. (No TV, dancing, drinking.)
'The Lifeboat' by Charlotte Rogan
August 11, 2012
My kind of beach read is short, intense and sufficiently morally complex that it sustains me through a good swim and compels me to keep reading when I'm out of the water.
'Londoners: The Days and Nights of London Now' by Craig Taylor
August 1, 2012
What's it like to live in London, the real London? The real London, beyond the fanciful equestrian courses with jumps styled as chess boards or crescent moons, or the vast, wavelike Olympic Aquatics Centre designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid.

Chimezie Ononenyi: Sahara's Racial make-up
It is well known that in many aspects the U.S. armed forces was very segregated. The film tried to conceal this reality but there are cues that still stood out.
The most obvious cue is that Sahara had only one black, Sudanese character named Sgt. Tambul, a French fighter. None came from the U.S. army side, which differs from today's U.S. army, where one would probably see a black soldier in every five.
Another cue is that Sgt. Tambul did not hesitate to fall under Sgt. Joe command. They both were allies and were on the same superiority level, but it is easily to tell that Sgt. Tambul was more of a servant to the group of allies. He did not socialize as much as everyone else in the group because there was an obvious sense that he did not measure up to the same level of superiority with them.
If Tambul were a white Sgt., he probably would not have been the one to labor for the water. He was just as thirsty as every other soldier, but being that he was the black one, he knew without asking that he was expected to do the labor.
The Nazi soldier initially resisted Sgt. Tambul as he wanted to search him and he said that he would not allow an inferior race to search him. Such resistance from a prisoner, and even worse the statement, would have been enough to stir a Sergeant's anger.
In general I would say that the film accomplished its task of making the U.S. Armed forces look good as being humanitarians and strong. Whether or not it was intended to portray a back character as being inferior, racism definitely played a role.

It's time to fully support John Skelton
It's official, Skolb is no more. The power -- or is that lack of power couple -- will no longer share their time together as the No. 1 quarterback for the Cardinals. That's because head coach Ken Whisenhunt finally ended the national nightmare that was the Cards quarterback controversy by naming John Skelton the starter over Kevin Kolb.
Alright, let's be honest, no one, except maybe the Bidwill's accountants, are treating this situation like the R-Patz/K-Stew (that's Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) breakup and crying over the decision. Neither guy shocked the world with their play and neither inspired much confidence. It was a decision that had to be made now, but one that wasn't made any easier by their play or circumstances.
Kolb, his potential, poor decisions and bloated contract were the favorite to win the job. Skelton, his size and inaccuracy were the underdog. Everyone -- fans and media alike -- had a strong opinion on who should get the job. For the better part of a year Team Kolb and Team Skelton argued like teenage girls over who deserved to take the reins. As the team alternated starters more than Lady Gaga changes outfits, neither side was proven right. Just because a decision was made, doesn't mean that has changed at this point.
Whether you like it or not, you have to applaud Whisenhunt for making the decision to go with Skelton even though it went against financial common sense -- something many didn't expect. And whether you like it or not, its time as fans to put aside petty arguments, stop gloating and support Skelton.
Whether you were a Kolb or Skelton supporter, the bottom line is we're all Cardinals fans and all we want is for the team to win. That can't happen with continued booing and bickering. For better and hopefully not for worse, Skelton is the Week 1 starter.
Skolb has broken up and let's hope they don't get back together. Another year on the emotional quarterback rollercoster will do nothing other than make us all sick -- that and lead to yet another losing season in the desert.

THIS may be the ultimate extreme-sporting event. A "space diver" will try to smash the record for the highest jump this year, and become the first person to go supersonic in free fall.
In 1960, Joe Kittinger jumped from an altitude of 31,333 metres. His record has never been broken. Now one skydiver has announced plans to make an attempt.
Felix Baumgartner will jump from a balloon 36,575 metres above the US. He should reach supersonic speeds after 35 seconds. The resulting shock wave "is a big concern", admits Art Thompson, technical director of Baumgartner's "Stratos" team, which is sponsored by energy-drink company Red Bull. "In early aircraft development, they thought it was a wall they couldn't pass without breaking apart. In our case, the vehicle is flesh and blood."
The jump height is above a threshold ...

The Multiage Classroom
What is a Multi-age Classroom?
One Definition: (as listed in Exploring the Multiage Classroom by Anne A. Bingham) -
- "A [multi-age] classroom is one in which the developmental range is wider than that in a single-grade classroom…children's developmental diversity is celebrated, valued as part of a natural community of learners, and is harnessed in subtle ways to support learning…It is not a classroom where a (for example) "second-grade" curriculum and a "first-grade curriculum" go on simultaneously. All children may work on the same topic but in different ways or at their own individual speed." (p.6-8)
All classrooms include students working at varying levels and, as educators, we address each student's individual needs. Therefore, philosophies defining the multi-age classroom can in fact be used in every classroom.
Some Beliefs that Guide Multi-age Teaching
(as listed in Exploring the Multiage Classroom by Anne A. Bingham)
- A belief in child-centered learning

What does the Research say about Multi-age Classrooms?
As written in Exploring the Multiage Classroom by Anne A. Bingham:
"The Canadian study includes a review of research literature and also questionnaires to teachers and administrators across Canada. Its summary of research states: "Do children get as good an education in a multi-grade classroom as they do in a single-grade one? The answer is 'yes'. The data bear out the findings of research about the many positive aspects of teaching and learning in a multi-grade class." In fact, it is more than "as good" in the realm of psychosocial development, where "researchers generally agree that students in multi-grade classes tended to be higher or better than those in single-grade classes in the following affective areas: study habits, social interaction, self-motivation, co-operation, and attitudes toward school." Studies of academic achievement showed that children from multigrade classes perform just as well or better on achievement tests than those from a single-grade setting." (p.9)

Hi there,
I am the principal of a rural school who has started the multi age route and will be going full school implementation next year. We have two in school inservice days this year and would like to have a consultant/speaker to come and work with our teachers. Please feel free to contact me via email or by phone. 204 636 2266
Thanks you
Hi Michelle. I too need help regarding multiage teaching. I am a reading coach, never taught multiage classroom. I panicked when I was asked what should a multiage classroom look like today with all of the common core standards having to be implemented and students learning at all different levels? Wow! The teachers have been in this role for a few years until common core standards changed instruction. I will respond to them at our next professional development. Meanwhile I am doing my own research on this. I would appreciate whatever resources you can have to share. I am on the Navajo Indian reservation in northern Arizona. The student at this particular school are ELL-monolingual speakers. Can you help me? Thank you very much.
I am a teacher in a multiage classroom. I am looking for a classroom to observe next year as part of my professional development. I don't have any personal friends who are multiage teachers, and would like some help with this.

CARY, N.C. – University of South Carolina Aiken junior closer Taylor Grover has been chosen as a Third-Team NCAA Division II All-America selection by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA).
The Rawlings/ABCA All-America honor is the second All-America honor of the year thus far for Grover, who was also recently tabbed to the Daktronics All-America Third-Team.
Grover was joined on the Daktronics All-America team by senior designated hitter Bill Gerstenslager and senior outfielder Bryce Baur. Gerstenslager (Solon, Ohio/Mercyhurst) was a Daktronics First-Team All-American, while Baur (Moncks Corner, S.C./Florence-Darlington Tech) was a Daktronics Honorable Mention All-America selection.
Grover (North Augusta, S.C./Midland Valley HS) led the Pacers and the Peach Belt Conference with 11 saves on the 2013 season. The 11 saves place the consensus First-Team All-Region selection in the top-10 in the category nationally.
The First-Team All-Peach Belt Conference selection owned a perfect 5-0 record on the year with a 0.92 earned run average.
The Pacer closer made 31 appearances in the 2013 season, pitching a total of 29.1 innings. Grover's foes hit just .154 against him this past season. He had 37 strikeouts in his 29.1 innings pitched.

Proper 20 | Pentecost 17C
Other Lessons of the Day: See Prayers and Peace on 1 Timothy 2:1-7
Thanks to my friend Paul Palumbo, I have an idea for a sermon on the parable assigned for Sunday. Most of what is here was gleaned from a phone conversation this afternoon.
The parables of the Prodigal Son and the Dishonest Steward have several things in common:
- Both main characters squander wealth. The word is exactly the same in each story. (It's only other use in Luke is when Mary says that the Lord has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.)
- Both main characters use an internal dialog to narrate their own strategy for getting out of trouble: "I know what I'll do…"
- Both main characters seek to be welcomed home.
- Both main characters receive unexpected regard from the alpha dude in the story (father/master).
I think the welcome home theme might have some preaching potential. Maybe Jesus is saying, "Look, even the children of this world understand forgiveness (as in the forgiveness of part of the debts owed to the master). Why aren't you disciples getting it?" A father understands welcoming his son home; business partners understand welcoming one of their own into their home. Folks outside the light get this. How much more should it be clear to us religious insiders (like disciples and Pharisees) that regardless of whether the welcome everyone receives is fair, the house is open and there's an extra place at the table.
At table with Zacchaeus, Jesus says, "For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost" (Luke 19:10). The prodigal and the manager are both squandering their resources. Jesus is doing the opposite. He is gathering up lost human resources. That gathering is his reason for coming, his reason for being. God is a shrewd enough householder not to write off the losses but rather to seek always to gather them all back under the same roof. It's just good for business (according to the parable of the Steward). It's also good for family (according to the parable of the Prodigal).

Be careful the info is wrong!

A decent claret
Something is puzzling me here. This bottle says on the front, "Grand vin de Bordeaux" - that only means that the wine is made somewhere in the department of Gironde - the words 'grand vin' signify nothing. On the back it says, rather more precisely, 'Blaye - Cotes de Bordeaux", while also describing itself as "a leading property in the Premieres Cotes de Blaye". That's fine - "Premieres Cotes de Blaye" is a now defunct appellation, which has been absorbed into "Cotes de Bordeaux", but allowed to add the word "Blaye". Hugh Johnson's Atlas of Wine describes Segonzac as a "leading name" in Blaye, so that part's fine. But on the front of the bottle there is a large red label, bearing in capital letters the words "Cru bourgeois". And on the back label it states that it was "already a Cru Bourgeois in the 19th century". As far as I know, the Cru Bourgeois classification only applies to properties in the Medoc, and was only drawn up in 1932, so what does that label mean? It's a mystery. That aside, this is a pretty decent claret at the price. 60% merlot, 20% cab sauv, 20% malbec. Very attractive nose, of plum with hints of cigar box, earth and toffee. Doesn't quite deliver on the palatte. It's very smooth, but a bit lacking in depth. Regardless, it's a very pleasant wine.

Have no idea why all the hype on this
Par Barbara Ann
de WINNIPEG MANITOBA CANADA
Usually, when I open up a piece of jewellery, I am thrown aback with it's beauty and shine. When I opened the box, I was totally disappointed. The tanzanite a 1.5 ct Not a chance! The white sapphires have NO sparkle and in the rhodium plate, you can barely see them there. You have to look with a fine toothed comb. DULL and LIFELESS! The setting face on is nice with the tanzanite but from the side- the ring looks as if it came out of a kids toy box. Terrible shoddy workmanship. There is simply no attention to details. Tons of details but to make out what it is, is impossible!Over all, considering I got the ring for a bit over 150.00- I'll keep it and wear it when I wear purples or blues. I would have preferred this ring in a nice real gold setting.This stone by no means is a top grade tanzanite and it is NOT 1.5 cts unless there is some misprint.been in the jewel business for over 25 years!

Love! Love! Love! This Ring!
Par LilacBlue
de Chilliwack (B.C)
I love this ring so much that I bought "two" - one in each colour setting-rhodium & gold plate. The tanzanite stones in the rings I received are a lovely blue with hints of purples & pinks. I just love wearing them and would recommend them to anyone who loves the vintage style setting & tanzanite.
En résumé
Oui, je recommanderais ceci à un ami
Not perfect but...
Par Ivanamama
de Ottawa
Sits very well on my hand. Stone is good but on the mauvey side. Prongs DO catch and always have bits of fuzz to be removed. Two rough edges on back. Not what I expect from Gen12. I do like the setting and it was a good deal. One day may pack it up and ask Bob to perfect it. Am keeping. Will recommend due to Bob's good service.

A nice piece
Par Hopemaker
de Brampton, ON
This was my first purchase from G1912 - I'm not normally drawn to jewelry that's so detailed or estate-like. However for the price, I felt that if it was going to be a good quality tanzanite stone, I'd give it a try.Overall I'm pleased. The tanzanite is a good quality with pretty good colour - not AAA, but still a good buy for the price paid. It does sparkle, it's not dull or cloudy, and there are a few flashes of pink. Definitely more purple than blue. But overall I'm happy with it. It's a substantial look that gets attention, so I look forward to wearing it.

Par HGT
de Vancouver, b.c.
The setting is on the larger side but on my size 5.5 finger looks balanced. The stone is pretty. It is not AAA but then it wasn't advertised as such. I would say it is a Aa grade stone. Lovely. I bought a G1912 trriple A ring years ago and that stone was deep purple with red flashes. I sent this ring to Bob in N.Y. to be sized down to a 5.5 because it was spinning on my finger. I have the ring back and it sits perfectly without moving. It is very comfortable. I love the look of it! Beautiful piece :) Very happy with the ring and Bob's people in N.Y.

Beautiful TANZANITE!!
Par Kira a torricelumn girl since 2003!!!!
de Winnipeg ,Manitoba
I missed out on this beautiful tanzanite ring when it was last aired , but I kept checking back to see if any had come back into the system . I was fortunate to order , not one but two ! I was not disappointed when I opened the box , beautiful tanzanite , beautiful detail on the engraving. I ordered the silver rhodium plated ring in size 10 to wear on my pointer or middle finger , even though quite a large ring sits very comfortably on the hand . I have sent it back however because of the setting on the side of the ring with the larger sapphires , the prongs holding theses sapphires were very rough and would catch on fabrics. I am fortunate to have many pieces of jewellery and have discovered jewellery needs to be comfortable or I just won't enjoy wearing it , and I felt it would just sit in my jewellery box for that reason .I may regret sending this beautiful tanzanite back , but felt that this was the best option for me .Bob please bring back at least a few GOLD pieces NOT PLATED !!!!!I HAVE A ruby white gold ring marquise from your line of jewelery that I purchased a few years ago , and I love it and I wear it often , it has become one of my favorite pieces !!!
Par AM
de Hamilton
When I opened the box I was impressed with the colour of the tanzanite -- very vibrant and clear and not cloudy. It went very well with the silver plating. I find the ring very comfortable to wear and not too big for my liking. It has a vintage style. I have received a lot of compliments. The packaging was also quite nice and impressive. VERY HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS RING!! The price was right too!!
Old Style/New Look
Par MAG from NB
de Miramichi, NB
Well, after reading the positive reviews, I realize I didn't get AAA stones. The tanzanite is a bit pale and doesn't have any red in it nor the deep blues & purples of such a lovely gem. The sapphires are also dull with little to no sparkle whatsoever. The silver is dull with no shine but I now realize the Generations 1912 is based on older pieces so I thought maybe that's why. Ahhh, just had a brainwave. I probably rec'd the dull, lifeless ring that the other lady reported and said she was sending back as I bought mine much later and it fits her description to a "T"! I too should have ret'd it...too late. Live and learn!
Par Cheryl S.
de Surrey, B.C., Canada
I wear this gorgeous ring with jeans and/or dresses. It is definitely a statement piece. The tanzanite stone is exquisite. The price for this particular quality of tanzanite is one of the greatest things about it. The craftmanship of the ring is top notch, it sits very comfortably on my finger and the compliments never stop!

Very disappointing
Par Hthom
de Vancouver,B.C.
I had been wanting a tanzanite ring for awhile and was so happy to get one on sale,but this was not to be.. I was shocked at the setting,it looked plastic like it came out of a child's bubblegum machine. What a dishonour to this beautiful stone.

On Grey's Anatomy Season 6, Episode 7 called, Invest in Love, ABC gave this press release:
Arizona faces a conflict of interest over a 10-year-old patient whose rich parents are planning to donate $25 million to the hospital. Meanwhile, Cristina tests her boundaries with Owen at the hospital; and Alex must deal with Izzie's hospital bills.
I hope Grey's Anatomy SE0607 doesn't try to get into some inane political stance about health care.
It's a big deal but why would it be ignored for all of Medical Drama History until now?
Don't these things usually go that some panic-stricken father/husband takes hostages to get the medical treatment his loved one needs?
Doesn't the hospital staff get some sort of employee discount? Don't they offer a comprehensive benefit program at Seattle Grace?
Not to mention the fact, according to the title, "Invest in Love," there seems to be a price tag of $25 million dollars to save a boy's life.
You've got to figure that there must be something else going on there because I don't see a conflict of interest when it comes to saving a life.
You save a life if you can save a life, no matter what the parents are giving to the hospital.
$25 million dollars.

The latest green smoothie debate, part 3 of 3
That your stomach is full of low calories and high nutrition, after your quart of green smoothie, means you didn't eat something else. Something worse. Both are great for different reasons—chewed foods, and blended foods. I may sound like a broken record. But let me plead with you once again NOT to look at green […]17 Comments • Continue Reading →

lets see ur bike carrying extra fuel
View Single Post
In Garrison.
Joined: Jun 2013
Location: Roanoke Valley, Virginia
Oddometer: 2,163
sorry no pic, or actual guy in the ground intell with field data.
Currently do not own a DS bike.
I'm looking at my options with the Mighty DR 3.4 gallon tank.
I have her range around 153-204 miles. This is fine for communiting, and with the stock seat, I'd be looking for reasons to stop.
I'll be east of the Mississippi and below the Mason-Dixon Line the vast majority of the time, so unlike the Outback of OZ, I do not need much fuel range.
I've looked at both the 4.9 IMS and the 5.3 A tank.
The ranges seem solid: 4.9: 220-294 miles, and 5.3: 238 miles- 318 miles.
When I go tour, I think I'll go with the 2 gallon Roto-pax and have her filled at all times. The stock tank would have me looking for gas stations more than the views.
I'd like to store the single unit lower than the seat, so I may have to go with two 1 gallon containers on the sides. This would of course keep the center of gravity lower. this would cut down on luggage capacity in the rear, but I could fit some storwage containers on the tank so as to break the wind during the winter, but take them off during the hot summer.
I also like the roto-pax because you can be the hero of the day for someone out of gas off the road. But, one must be careful of the ambush.
One could top off your tank and leave the roto-pax at the camp sight and not have the extra weight of the larger tanks. Granted, the IMS tanks are plastic, so they are most likely lighter than the stock tank. So maybe a negative.
I may have to go with the holigan plastic bottles for the nomad areas of the West and Alaska. This would be extermely rare and dangerous, and as soon as the milage has tricked off on say a litter (.25 gallson/12.5 miles) i'd take a stop and top off the tank.
I'm kind of disapointed in the larger fuel tanks. Seems like not all of the juice can be used, and a lot of extra work is involved for the cost, but the tank does expand. I guess, the stock tank is the same, except it does not expand.
Quick question. Can one purchase Roto-pax at Walmart or Sams, or other such stores?
Excellent topic.
I guess Pioneers had the same discussion about how much feed and water they would bring for their wagon team. Espically in the desert west of the Rockies.
I need to research hot spots in the lower 48 and Alaska that have have little gasoline stations. I was talking to a 1st generation KLR owner (in the Dalles, OR) and he reported that N.E. OR is kind of sparse.
Wish I could bring more to the thead.

THE Anglican Church of Kenya has called for investigation into an allegation that 30 orphaned children were mistreated at the Child Welfare Society of Kenya in Isiolo county. The children fled the centre last Sunday to the church allegedly for fear of intimidation and embarrassment by its caretakers a day after they took over the management from Isiolo childrens home following a court order from the high court.
Anglican parish priest Mr Joshua Umuro, who hosted the children for the last five days, condmed the act and called for a thourough investigations by independent body to establish the truth behind the claims. Mr Umuro said it was unacceptable for the custodians of the children to turn against them and that the suspects must be warned and reminded that the childrens act protects them from any violations of their rights. "We are calling on the government and other actors in children department to move with speed and ensure that this children are in safe hands," said Mr Umuro during a meeting at the centre.
Isiolo Central district officer Rebecca Wakabe said the government will not tolerate any insitution or organization to mishandle or mistreat children intrusted to them by guardians or government officials. She warned that the government will close down the insitutiton if the cases of harrasment or misconduct by the staffs continue to violate the rights of the children in the center.
During the occassion, the leaders meeting held at the institution resolved that there be a close monitoring of the orphanage centre by the government and other actors in children deaprtment for further action. The institution had faced an ownership row between Isiolo Children's Home and Child Welfare Society of Kenya in the last two years.
The Isiolo children's homes officials last week were surprised to see new team invade the place with the police in order to position themselves in the center over the weekend. An interim chairman Mr Kirimi Kiambati led Child Welfare society team into the institution with a court order to eject the management from the office. Following the wrangles the donars have withdrawn their support from sponsoring more than 100 orphaned children in the area.

The Long Wave in Economic Life
Of all fluctuations in economic activity, the long wave or Kondratieff cycle is easily the most puzzling and least understood one. Does it really exist, and if so, is it only a cycle in prices or a cycle in economic activity at large? What causes it, and has it been confined to Europe or does it...

MALAKOFF—Malakoff City Council gave the green light to honor with a plaque a longtime computer advocate at the Red Waller Community Library during its monthly meeting Monday, Dec. 9.
Dr. Ann Fowler White was "very dedicated in supporting the library of the city of Malakoff" and foresaw the need for computers, said Edward DeLoach, who made the request on behalf of the Friends of the Library, of which he is secretary. DeLoach said White was instrumental in obtaining computers and software for the library, and maintained grants that ensured upkeep. White, who died in July, was a math teacher who, upon retirement, was head of the Department of Math and Engineering at Southwest College in Stafford, which is part of the Houston Community College System.
The Friends of the Library originally requested naming the library's computer resource center after White, and also placing a small brass plaque on each computer desk in White's memory. Council members including Jerrilyn Tarver believed one larger plaque would suffice so as to leave room for other library contributors from the past. Librarian Charlotte Regester also recommended a single plaque, Tarver added. Other people honored at the library include namesake Red Waller with a mounted picture, according to City Administrator Ann Barker, and the original library board is noted with a plaque outside the library entrance, DeLoach added.
"I don't think this particular service would be there without the contributions of Ann White," DeLoach said. Even though DeLoach believed there wasn't a single spot available to place the plaque, he said he would share the results of the council vote with the Friends of the Library, and will work with the librarian to find a suitable location.
In other action, the council awarded a bid for two trucks for the utility and street departments to Tri-County Ford in Mabank for $47,616. Teague Chevrolet-Buick of Mabank also submitted a bid for $50,552.54.
Also during the meeting, Chief Billy Mitchell released the police department's November activity report, including:
- Service Calls: 71
- Offense Reports: 42
- Arrests: 20
- Agency Assists: 16
- Citizen Assists: 8
- Accidents: 0
- Citations: 146
- Warnings: 41
- Alarms: 9
- Cases filed in the District Attorney's Office: 8
- Cases filed in the County Attorney's Office: 3
- Total Fuel: 617 gallons
- Total Miles: 6,022

Gossip Girl Season 6 Scoop: Kelly Rutherford Tweets Photo of "Mr. and Mrs. Bass"
With all this talk of a potential — scratch that, pretty much informally confirmed — wedding between Gossip Girl's Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) almost immediately after Season 6 premieres this October, we've been hot on the lookout for any sort of photographic proof that these blessed nuptials actually do occur.
Given that, you can imagine our excitement and delight when Kelly Rutherford (Lily) tweeted a photo on July 5 with the caption "Mr and Mrs Bass..."
We rushed to click the link. Could a picture of happy newlyweds Chuck and Blair possibly be in store?!
Unfortunately... not so much. Kelly's photo instead showed she and recently back from the dead Bart Bass (Robert John Burke) posing for a cute behind-the-scenes pic. Totally not the Mr. and Mrs. Bass we were hoping to see!
However, Kelly's photo still brings up some interesting questions when it comes to Gossip Girl relationship scoop. With Bart's sudden reappearance at the end of Season 5, Lily must now decide if she's going to continue working on her rocky relationship with Rufus (Matthew Settle), or leave him behind for her former (no, wait: current) husband, Bart.
Based on Kelly's tweet, it sounds like Bart and Lily Bass are back together again. Do you think their rekindled romance will last, or are Rufus and Lily destined to return to each other in the end?
More importantly, do you think there's hope for the other potential Mr. and Mrs. Bass to be walking down the aisle anytime soon?

EL SEGUNDO, CA -- What would a Laker season be without some Kobe Bryant drama at some point? This year it came a bit earlier than the team and its fans expected. Content with his newly rebuilt team of Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Antawn Jamison, Bryant seemed very happy throughout the preseason, averaging 20.4 points, 4.8 rebound and 3.4 assists in just 28 minutes per game. While the rest of the team was struggling to learn the Princeton offense, Kobe didn't look at all like it was the third different system he was being asked to play in three seasons. Then came the right foot injury he suffered when he tripped over Sacramento's Thomas Robinson, causing Bryant to go silent and sending the Lakers' world gyrating right off its axis. Bryant hasn't played, practiced or talked to the media since the injury, and Kobe Watch 2012 is now in full effect, with the regular season opener taking place at Staples Center Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs will definitely be w...

Providing Your Company Corporation Service
Many Secretary of State and Corporation Commissions, when asked how to fulfill the registered agent and registered office requirements, will tell people they need to find a corporate service provider / company to fulfill the registered agent and registered office role. A typical company that provides corporation service is a registered agent service company.
If you have had communications with a Secretary of State about registered agents and they have referred to the registered agent as a corporation service, our company can provide registered agent services to you. States often confuse these terms. You basically need a registered agent, and that's it. Our business name is Northwest Registered Agent LLC, and we would love to be your registered agent.
Our Corporation Service for Your Company Includes:
Disclaimer: Corporation service is not referring to a specific company. Sometimes state agencies tell people who are looking for a registered agent that they can hire a company that performs corporation services to be their registered agent.

I recently discovered a new subscription company called Graze. I feel like snacking/food subscription companies are on the rise and becoming more popular. I've been trying to watch my diet, so having healthy snacks available to me is important. So when I came across Graze, I knew I had to give it a try.
Graze is a snack subscription company. They little different than most subscription companies. Most companies operate monthly, but Graze actually sends their boxes weekly. It costs $5 a week and you get 4 snacks in your box. You can choose between their regular "nibble" boxes and "light" boxes (which contain low calorie options).
Because I am watching my calorie intake, I chose the light box. Here is what it included:
- Very Nori-ish (Japanese seaweed rice crackers)
- Tutti Frutti (blueberry infused cranberries, pineapple, cherry infused raisins and green raisins)
- Banoffee Pie (fudge pieces, almond slices, pecan nuts and banana coins)
- Lemon Poppyseed Cake with Afternoon Infusion
|Perfect for taking to work
|The box
|Each packet is about palm size
I had a chance to try the Very Nori-ish and Banoffee Pie. Both were extremely good! I especially thought the Banoffee Pie was unique. I've never seen a combination like that and it was the perfect morning snack with my coffee.
Also, I really like the packaging. It is minimal, but attractive and effective. I like that each snack came in an individual packet, so you can just take and go. But even if you keep the whole box together, it is pretty slim so you can easily tote it around.
I think Graze has a bright future ahead of them. The snacks were innovative and delicious. I also really like that they send them out weekly. I think it will be fun to receive something in the mail every week. I also really like that they give two options for boxes in case you do want lower calorie snacks. I also love that they let you include any dietary restrictions you may have. Lastly, I like that they have a way to rate the snacks you receive. That way if you didn't like something, you won't have to receive it in the future.
Graze isn't open to the public yet, but I do have a few invitation codes. If you sign up with my code, you can get your first box free! Leave a message on the blog and I will email you the code (first come, first serve).
Disclaimer: I purchased this product on my own. I was not compensated in any way. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
