I can't recall the last time I made brownies. But then, Katie got me thinking about them…and I couldn't get them out of my mind.
With brownies on the brain, I nervously set to work in the kitchen.
I baked them with my fingers AND toes crossed…and then Kyle and I had a taste test. Together.
Crazy dense and reallllly gooey. And super sneaky.
Obviously I was aware of the ingredients, but Kyle had no idea that the main ingredient was…
I have heard of black bean brownies before (chances are you have too), but I always had my doubts. It sounds straight up nasty. But I was feeling experimental, and figured why not.
I won't sugar coat it, they don't taste like brownies. They aren't brownies. But they are good. And you definitely can't taste the beans. Hell, I'd make them again. So I'll share the recipe I used.
Chocolate Deception (aka Vegan Banana Bean "Brownies")
- 2 bananas (the more ripe the better)
- 1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed well
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup NuNatural baking stevia
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp NuNatural vanilla stevia
- shredded coconut (for topping)
Blend black beans and bananas together.
Pulse until everything is reallllly well blended. Chunks of beans aren't exactly the same as chocolate chips, now are they?
I have to be honest. At this point, I almost scrapped the whole project. The smell of a banana bean batter is almost the worst thing you could think of. Like a hummus smoothie. Blech.
I stuck with it though and added in the rest of the ingredients.
And that's when I started to think things could turn out all right. Visually speaking, you'd definitely never suspect there were beans running amok in this batch of brownies.
Once the batter is completely blended, pour into an 8×8 greased baking dish.
You could add anything to this, but I chose to sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
Off the top of my head I can already think of several variations, though. Nut butters, pureed pumpkin, instant coffee, etc. could be nice additions to the recipe.
After 30 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees.
Slice into it and witness the gooey insides for yourself (note: I'm avoiding the "m" word on purpose).
Truly, they are quite good. Like I said earlier, not so brownie like. They are actually more like a chocolate banana bread with a really dense fudge like consistency. And who doesn't like fudgy insides? Uh, nobody! Duh! Winning!
The craziest part is that there's no sugar in the recipe. Sure, you could obviously sub the stevia for vegan sugar, but I had more stevia than vegan sugar on hand. Also, here in the hippie household we use vegan sugar for coffee (thus, making is a far more precious resource). Aside from the stevia, there's only bananas to carry the sweetness weight, and they worked perfectly. Not only was I pretty into them, but Kyle liked them too, and had no idea they contained such random ingredients.
Yes, I ate an entire side of the pan…you should make these…if you're into yummy dense gooey chocolate.

Weekend update
Sitting here at 8am, before showering for work, I'm already missing the weekend. How can I cram more fun into 2 days than I do all week? If only they all could be this much fun!
Since I have to run and get ready, I'll try to make this brief:
- Knitting chez WonderMike morphed into a surprise pre-birthday celebration! Thank you, Mike, KnitSonya, SpeedyNeedleFreeman, Knit Ya Ya!, Kim-Chi Crafts and PuNk rAwK pUrL. You guys are too sweet!
- Courtesy of the Netflix, I finally saw RIZE, a glimpse into the LA crump and clown dance scene, as filmed by photographer David La Chapelle (NSFW: artistic nudity).
- And, 12 years after moving to the Bay Area, at long last I went to the Alameda Point Antiques and Collectibles Faire. Deadslow photographed Tammy fingering the needles, while Carrie scoured the crochet hooks and I leafed through a 1950s Columbia Men's Book of patterns.
The only thing to look forward to this week at work is its brevity. Only four days, if I take Friday off.
This time next week? I'll be flying through the air to Seattle for BMFA sock knitting camp.

ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Saint Paul Foundation and Minnesota Idea Open are asking all Minnesotans to answer the question: What would you do with $1 million to make Saint Paul great?
Today marks the official launch of The Saint Paul Foundation's Forever Saint Paul Challenge. A first of its kind in Minnesota, the Challenge invites individuals to share their best and brightest ideas to help make Saint Paul forever strong at MNIdeaOpen.org/foreversaintpaul. The winning idea will receive a $1 million grant to become a reality.
Why Saint Paul? When people love where they live, they invest time, energy and ideas to make it an even better place. The pride Minnesotans feel for their capital city surpasses most cities in the nation, according to a recent study by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Saint Paul Foundation wants to build on that energy and include all individuals—whether they have lived, worked or played in the state's capital for three months or three generations—in thinking boldly about the future of Saint Paul.
"Our capital city, like so many other cities across the country, faces changes in demographics, the economy and local investment," Carleen Rhodes, president and CEO of The Saint Paul Foundation said. "As a community foundation, we see these changes as vital opportunities to think and do business differently to ensure a strong Saint Paul now and in the future."
Forever Saint Paul Challenge supporters include the Bush Foundation, F. R. Bigelow Foundation, Otto Bremer Foundation, 3M, Travelers, the Katherine B. Andersen Fund, Securian, McNeely Foundation and the Multicultural Endowment.
"This is such a unique and exciting opportunity for Saint Paul community leaders to gather at the same table as Minnesota residents who love Saint Paul and work together on making our capital city a great place for everyone," Ann Mulholland, vice president of grants and program at The Saint Paul Foundation, said.
To celebrate the launch, The Saint Paul Foundation will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the "Largest Picture Made of Lite-Brite" on February 16, 2013, at the Union Depot, 214 East Fourth Street, Saint Paul. This giant art installation will be 12-feet tall by 24-feet long and filled with more than 520,000 Lite-Brite pegs. It will feature a mural created by award-winning Saint Paul artist Ta-coumba T. Aiken.
The celebration includes activities for the public beginning at 3:00 p.m., and the lighting ceremony starts at 7:00 p.m. with brief remarks from Mayor Chris Coleman, Rhodes and special guests, followed by illumination of the world record-breaking Lite-Brite installation. A Guinness World Record judge will be on hand to confirm the record.
Ideas for the Forever Saint Paul Challenge will be accepted through April 3, 2013. Check the website at MNIdeaOpen.org/foreversaintpaul for information about upcoming Idea Open Houses in March. These casual, neighborhood events will bring people together to work on their ideas and receive in-person information about how to enter.
This year marks the fourth annual statewide ideas competition through the Idea Open. Previous Challenges have addressed issues of obesity, water stewardship and working together across cultures and faiths. To date, the Idea Open has engaged thousands of Minnesotans in solving critical issues facing Minnesota.

Breweries play a large role in the communities where they are located, and New York's Brooklyn Brewery shows that being a good neighbor has big payoffs.
Eight years ago, wanting to help keep a power plant out of their neighborhood, Brooklyn Brewery made the commitment to operate using 100% wind-power. This generated not only a lot of electricity but made a bold statement to their community. They serve as the first company in NYC to be fully wind-powered.
Jenn Coyle sits down with COO Eric Ottaway at the Craft Brewers Conference to discuss the win-wins of sustainable practices:

Fioricet is a combination medication commonly used to treat tension headaches but doctors also recommend it for recurring migraines. Acetaminophen is used to decrease the pain associated with muscular tension and caffeine increases the efficiency of the pain-killing effect. The last constituent of Fioricet is butalbital, a powerful sedative having the property to reduce anxiety and induce relaxation. This barbiturate is also responsible for the sleepiness appearing after Fioricet intake.

You also should know what drug interaction, and what side effects you may have when you take fioricet, or Gabapentin.
Gabapentin belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants, used to help control seizures in the treatment of epilepsy. Neurontin will only be able to control seizures for as long as you take it. It can't cure epilepsy. The following step after being diagnosed is to work with your doctor in choosing the best treatment options for you.
It is also used to control pain associated with shingles and has been evaluated for pain conditions, including migraine, as its pain-modulating properties may regulate the perception of pain. Anticonvulsant drugs, such as gabapentin, are becoming increasingly popular for migraine prevention.
You can also buy Neurontin to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), alcohol withdrawal, chronic neuropathic pain, cocaine addiction, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), fibromyalgia, menopause, migraine prevention, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social phobia, trigeminal neuralgia.
International and domestic studies that have evaluated Neurontin for migraine prevention suggest that it is effective. In a study of 63 patients with migraine (with or without aura), gabapentin significantly reduced migraine frequency and intensity among 30 patients who received it. In this study, adverse events were mild to moderate in severity.
Similarly, in a large study, 143 people with migraine received daily doses of Neurontin or placebo for 12 weeks. At the end of 12 weeks, the migraine rate had declined from 4.2 migraines before treatment to 2.7 migraines after treatment in those who received this drug. This decrease was significantly greater than the decrease from 4.1 migraines to 3.5 migraines among those who received placebo. Of the 56 gabapentin recipients, 46% had at least a 50% reduction in the four-week migraine rate. Drug-related adverse events (sleepiness and dizziness) led to drug withdrawal in 13% of patients in the gabapentin group compared with 7% in the placebo group. The researchers concluded that this medication is an effective and well-tolerated preventive for migraine.

I prefer to read two issues of a comic book before I review it. It helps me get a better feel for the book; if it can maintain what was set up in the first issue, as well as to see exactly where it's going. It's a strategy that often pays off; in the case of a book like Black Harvest, what I saw between the first and second issues was different indeed.

The holidays are a time for family tradition and fun! I spent Saturday afternoon baking with a friend and Sunday getting ready for the week and Christmas. This meant many cookbooks were out and in use.
I've mentioned in the past that my mom made myself and my sister a cookbook with all of our family favorite recipes. Each recipe is accompanied by a photo and the boys love it!! Our oldest has cooked from it in the past, but not the youngest.
Of course the cookbook was out with all of the baking and holiday prep. The chef thumbed through it and came to marinated London broil. This was a huge family favorite growing up. Our mom's good friend (and college roommate) created the recipe and we devoured it every time it was cooked!
My mom's friend has passed and left a loud and extremely funny hole in our lives. It was fun to share stories with the chef as we cooked and as we ate.
The chef prepared the marinade all by himself. It took a few tries but he was able to flip the meat too. He decided to serve the steak with roasted broccoli and cauliflower. I cut up the veggies and he tossed them in olive oil and Trader Joe's Everyday seasoning.
Here's the chef…
The recipe from our family cookbook…
We roasted the vegetables at 425* for 35 minutes before cooking the steak. I covered them with tin foil and they held pretty well. It would be great to grill everything together when the weather is better 🙂 The meal was a success and we will definitely try it again!!
Do you have a collection of family favorite recipes? How are your holidays going? Do you host? What's your favorite baking recipe?

Jaipur: the 'Pink City' (as it is popularly called) is one of the most favorite travel destinations among foreign travelers coming to India. Being the capital city of Rajasthan, Jaipur attracts thousands of domestic as well as international travelers every year. The cultural and historical heritage of this city is truly unmatched. The city of forts and palaces, Jaipur has always been an intriguing travel destination. The city scores a perfect ten for its vibrant and colorful atmosphere, festivals, food, local markets, people and God knows what.
Established in 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, the grandeur of this city is simply mesmerizing. The architectural planning of the city may be ancient, but it is India's first planned city. Let's take you on a tour of this magnificent city.
The best time to plan a trip to Jaipur is from October to March. The weather is quite pleasant during this period and one can easily explore the city without worrying much about the heat. As for summers, they can be really harsh. The desert setting of Rajasthan makes it really impossible to travel during summer months.
By Air: Jaipur International Airport (located in Sanganer) is well-connected to major international and domestic cities.
By Road: Jaipur is well-connected to most of the Indian cities via roadways. State run as well as privately run buses and taxis are easily available. To travel within the city, travelers can opt for local minibuses, auto-rickshaws, taxis and horse carts.
By Train: Regular trains run to and fro from Jaipur to other Indian cities.
Jaipur is world famous for its monumental heritage. Travelers and history lovers from all parts of the world come here to witness its real aura. Most of the buildings in Jaipur were painted Pink in the earlier times and this is why it was named 'The Pink City'. The city is known for its architectural wonders like Amber fort, City palace, Nahargarh fort and so on. So, let's begin our monumental tour of Jaipur.
Jaipur is no less than a paradise for shoppers. A wide range of handicraft items, jewelry, footwear and attires are easily available in the city markets and that too at really affordable prices. You can even buy beautifully crafted semi-precious stone jewelry here. Listed below are some of the most popular markets of the city where you can shop for whatever you wish for. Strong bargaining skills will be much needed here.
Did you know that Jaipur is also known as 'Chotti Kashi'? Well, it's a fact that most of the foreigners are not aware of. Beside forts and palaces, Jaipur city is also famous for its temple and that is why it was given the title of 'Chotti Kashi'. The temples of the city are more than just a spiritual destination. They are also an architectural wonder. Listed below are some of the most visited temples of Jaipur.
These are some of the most popular travel attractions of the Jaipur city that every traveler must visit. These attractions are truly a traveler's delight.

Participants were invited to submit innovative designs demonstrating how higher-density courtyard housing can serve as an attractive option for families with children, while also contributing to environmental sustainability, providing an affordable housing option, and responding to neighborhood context. The competition is part of city efforts to foster design excellence and the creation of new family-friendly housing in Portland's neighborhoods. During the announcement event, the winning designs will be on display and competition jurors will be on hand to comment on the competition and their choices. Following this event, the public will be invited to choose their favorite designs as part of "People's Choice" balloting to take place later in November and in December.]]>

The Oregonion's Eric Mortenson writes:
Measure 37 gave property owners the right to seek compensation or a waiver from land-use rules if regulations imposed after they bought their land reduced its value and restricted its use. A flood of 7,500 claims, many for large subdivisions on farm and forest land, alarmed conservationists, farm groups and Democratic legislators.
That ultimately resulted in the backlash of Measure 49, which allows claimants to build a few homes but prohibits commercial and industrial development and large subdivisions.
With the land-use planning system in a state of confusion, disarray, and increasingly subject to the whims of ballot measures which are often little or misunderstood by voters, pressure is mounting to revive the The Oregon Task Force on Land Use Planning (also known as the Big Look Task Force), which was "charged with conducting a comprehensive review of the Oregon Statewide Planning Program and make recommendations for any needed changes to land-use policy to the 2009 Legislature."]]>
I was recently shopping for a wood stove and I met a man who had grown up in Southeast Portland before the trolleys were destroyed. As a child, he would take the trolley into town without his parents - before he could drive a car. When the decision was made to tear up the trolleys, he asked his mom why they did it and she told him that people are stupid.
People are stupid.
It really is stupid when you think that we are already lamenting the loss of a comprehensive system which was so recently destroyed. Unfortunately, it is clear that the capital and labor expenditure to put these rail lines back in is now exorbitant. Perhaps it is that the highways are now running us dry? This morning on my ride to work I saw a backup of cars on SE Clinton St. This is a small local bike boulevard street. I wished some of the people who call Portland the most sustainable city in the US could have seen this!
Any way about it, I feel lucky at least to live in a town that is trying to replace the rail network which it once had. Perhaps my children will be so lucky as to ride light rail downtown.]]>
We at Worldchanging/Portland recommend lights, a helmet, some reflective tape, a bell, and some good rain gear. Additional bonuses are a rack and a pannier, which make carrying larger items simple.
If you aren't up for assembling all the gear yourself, Clever Cycles has some amazing bikes which incorporate many of these features into the bike itself.
Remember - the rain is no reason to stop riding. All you need is the right gear and you're good to go. I actually prefer winter riding because the trails and bridges are so empty. I suppose if everyone follows my advice, this will cease to be the case, but for now I'm not worried!]]>

From a sustainability standpoint, the simple yet effective principles behind a well-placed fan win easily in the mostly manageable summers of the Pacific Northwest, where super-high temperatures are fairly rare. Buck up. You can get by.
They also recommend augmenting the fan with traditional passive cooling strategies:
Natural, or passive, cooling employs some common-sense approaches that take advantage of the local climate... Even on the hottest days, temperatures tend to drop dramatically in the evening. Keep windows open in the morning to allow cool air into the house, then close them before the mercury rises and keep curtains and blinds drawn during the day to repel direct sunlight.]]>
With so much talk of transportation efficiency, it is important to remember that urban amenities, insomuch as they bring that which is desired into the city, are über-efficient. While Ski Dubai may seem extravagant - is it more extravagant than traveling half way across the world to ski on real snow on a real mountain?

A new generation of architects and designers in Portland and beyond is attempting to help Tryon Life Community Farm's efforts to explore, evaluate, and foster alternatives to current building code practices in a safe, systematic, and publicly endorsable manner. (Note: Tryon has recently converted their website to a Drupal-based dynamic site, so much of the ReCode information has dropped off).
While energy use is but one facet of design considerations, it is a telling measure of the challenge before us. According to Ed Mazria of Architecture 2030, built structures account for roughly 50% of all energy use in the United States.
All too often, when discussing a new or innovative way to address this issue, designers and architects are confronted with an inflexible, unresponsive code which - while designed with the best intentions - is not be able to cope with the broad challenges of the 21st century: resource reuse, reurbanization, growth management, alternative transportation, zero-energy development, and shifting demographic patterns (to name a few).
Currently, restrictive codes deny experimentation - even when all parties involved recognize the risk/reward involved. What would have become of the lonely Etruscan who discovered the arch, had he lived in modern times? He would have most likely been red tagged and forced to build with post and lintel. The time has come to formalize a process of experimentation in order to harness the energy of a thousand creative minds working safely and systematically towards a better future.
Tryon Life Community Farm is uniquely positioned to be instrumental in developing a framework for reimagining the role of building codes in our society. Most importantly, they can be at the forefront of developing alternative, performative codes which - rather than specifying a prescriptive action - lay out a performative benchmark which can be attained in a myriad of ways. The next step would be to determine how to acertain that these benchmarks have been met.
"Alternative" is defined in the UBC (Unified Building Code) as "of equal or better quality". TLC will focus on the better half of the equation.
Thanks Robbi Babba for the image!]]>
This, of course is the value of competitions - allowing creative minds the freedom to experiment while still providing enough incentive to encourage completeness of thought and vision. Find a high bandwidth connection and download these boards while you can!]]>

Police Also Think Lindsay Lohan Might Dieby Free Britney at . Comments
Her friends think Lindsay Lohan is going to die. Apparently some law enforcement officials have been similarly alarmed at her condition and share that sentiment.
Police officers who routinely come in contact with Lindsay - the fact that they do at all tells you something - say they have thought about forcing her to get help.
Cops, unsurprisingly, see Lindsay at her worst - late nights and early mornings when she is absolutely plastered needs assistance avoiding celebrity gossip media.
Some authorities quoted by TMZ cite Lindsay's "erratic behavior" and "attitude," both of which have grown progressively worse over the last several months.
According to reports, during one of Lindsay's crazier nights out recently, the police became so concerned they discussed taking her in for a 5150 evaluation.
Also known as the Britney Spears psychiatric hold.
BORROWED TIME: Lindsay's living on it. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
Officers on the scene ultimately decided against it, as she didn't meet all the criteria for a 5150. The train wreck could still take care of herself ... technically.
Over the weekend, we reported that professionals and confidants close to Lindsay fear she's going to die if she doesn't get help for substance abuse ... now.
Here's hoping she heeds the warnings and ends up like Britney - alive, well, and with a career that's as successful as ever, as opposed to the fatal alternative.

The swim suit section of clothing stores have been replaced with back-to-school clothes; at my local Wal-Mart, the shelves that were once lined with plastic Tiki-themed party decorations, ice chests and cute plastic outdoor dishes are now filled with school supplies as far as the eye can see, and kids everywhere have that familiar look of wide-eyed dread on their faces. This can only mean one thing – the new school year is upon us and summer as we know it is in its last days. My sister and all of my teacher friends all have to go back to school next week, and pretty much all of them are doing their darndest to enjoy their last few days of freedom. I guess I feel kind of guilty because I too, am a teacher…but the best kind of teacher- a voice teacher. I teach like, 3 days a week and I don't even go in until after noon. How awesome is that? (ok, ok, I'll stop rubbing it in your faces…..neener, neener, neener!! Hehe, ok now I'm done, I promise!)
I know a lot of people are bummed that the summer is just about over, so I thought I should post something that reminds us all of a good old fashioned summer; and really, what's more perfect than warm apple pie with a big scoop of ice cream? Not much…
I know apple pie is probably better enjoyed around the Fourth of July, but I figured it's one of those desserts that works all summer long! I actually made this a couple of weeks ago for my in-laws and grandmother-in-law, Meme. Meme and I sat together and enjoyed big, warm slices of pie with homemade vanilla ice cream…we really enjoyed our pie!! Meme loved it so much, I sent some home with her for her coffee the next morning. Seriously, this was some of the best pie I've ever had in my life…and no surprise, it's Dorie Greenspan's recipe. She never fails me! This was actually the first time I'd ever brushed my pie crust with cream before baking it, and I was super happy with the result – I've never gotten a more beautiful crust!
For those of you teachers out there who are trying to squeeze everything you can out of these last days of summer, I highly recommend making yourself a big, beautiful apple pie. Enjoy a big slice out on your front porch at night and watch the fireflies…savor every moment, because the next day, you should probably start getting all your school supplies ready! Hehehe, sorry, just couldn't resist! 😉
All-American Apple Pie
-Dorie Greenspan
9-inch double crust pie dough (recipe below)
4 pounds (about 6 very large) apples
3/4 cup sugar
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8-1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I omitted)
2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
For the Glaze (optional, but highly recommended!)
Milk or heavy cream
Decorating (coarse) or granulated sugar
Butter a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
On a well-floured surface (or between wax paper, or plastic wrap), roll out one piece of the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Fit the dough into the buttered pie plate and trim the edges to a 1/2 -inch overhang. Roll the other piece of dough into a 1/8-inch-thick and slip it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Cover both the circle and the crust in the pie plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes, while you preheat the oven and prepare the filling. (The crusts can be well covered and kept refrigerated overnight).
GETTING READY TO BAKE: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel, core and slice the apples into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Put the apples into a large bowl and add the sugar, lemon zest, tapioca, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Toss everything together really well. Let the mix sit for about 5 minutes, until juice starts to accumulate in the bottom of the bowl.
Remove the pie plate and top crust from the refrigerator and put the pie plate on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the bottom of the crust and then turn the apples and their juices into the crust. The apples will heap over the top of the crust. Pat them into an even mound. Dot the apples with the bits of cold butter.
Very lightly moisten the rim of the bottom crust with water, then center the top crust over the apples. Either folds the overhang from the top crust under the bottom crust and crimps the crust attractively, or presses the top crust against the bottom crust and trim the overhang from both crusts even with the rim of the pie plate. If you've pressed and trimmed the crust, use the tines of a fork to press the two crusts together securely.
Use a sharp paring knife to cut about 6 slits in the top crust. Use the wide end of a piping tip to cut a circle out of the center of the crust as a steam vent. If you'd like, brush the top crust with a little milk or cream and sprinkle it with sugar (I used cream and it turned out absolutely gorgeous!).
Bake the pie for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F, and bake the pie for another 50 to 60 minutes (total baking time is between 65 and 75 minutes), or until the crust is gorgeously browned and the juices bubble up through the top crust. After about 40 minutes in the oven, if the top crust looks as if it's browning too quickly, cover the pie loosely with a foil tent.
Transfer the pie to a rack and let it rest until it is only just warm or until it reaches room temperature.
Good For Almost Everything Pie Dough
-Dorie Greenspan
For a 9-inch double crust:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 sticks very cold (frozen is fine) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-size pieces
1/3 cup very cold (frozen is even better) vegetable shortening, cut into 4 pieces
About 1/2 cup ice water
Put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade; pulse just to combine the ingredients. Drop in the butter and shortening and pulse only until the butter and shortening are cut into the flour. Until you have some pieces the size of fat green peas and others the size of barley. Pulsing the machine on and off, gradually add about 6 table spoons of the water add a little water and pulse once, add some more water, pulse again and keep going that way. Then use a few long pulses to get the water into the flour. If, after a dozen or so pulses, the dough doesn't look evenly moistened or form soft curds, pulse in as much of the remaining water as necessary, or even a few drops more, to get the dough that will stick together when pinched. Big pieces of butter are fine. Scrape the dough out of the work bowl and onto a work surface.
Divide the dough in half. Gather each half into a ball, flatten each ball into a disk and wrap each half in plastic. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling.

Texans' Foster has big day against Titans, is big pay next?
Updated 9:41 pm, Sunday, October 23, 2011
• Video: Watch Foster's 78-yard touchdown reception
NASHVILLE - At LP Field, the home fans booed their displeasure Sunday, directing most of their collective ire at Titans running back Chris Johnson, the $53.5-million man who managed a meager 18 yards against the Texans.
At the same time but in Chicago, Mike McCartney could hardly contain his glee. At home, surrounded by three televisions tuned to various games around the NFL so he could monitor his clients, McCartney, who is Arian Foster's agent, was admittedly "pleased."
Foster ran 25 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns, but he also caught five passes for 119 yards, including a 78-yard touchdown. He became just the 32nd player in NFL history to finish a game with 100-plus yards in rushing and receiving.
"That's awesome," right tackle Eric Winston said. "That doesn't happen very often in this league. That's what it's all about - for us linemen. We take a lot of pride in the skill guys putting up record numbers."
This was vintage Foster, not the Foster that surfaced last week in Baltimore. This was the genuine article, certifiably "Grade A," although the running back wasn't willing to affix a letter to gauge his performance this week.
Maybe a symbol might suffice instead. A dollar sign, perhaps?
Given how one-sided the faux battle between the past two rushing champions was, that Foster, an exclusive rights free agent, is playing this season for $525,000, and that Johnson was just given a gigantic raise after a lengthy holdout just prior to the start of the season, it's reasonable to suggest Foster is in store for a notable pay increase.
On Twitter, McCartney (@MikeMcCartney7) said he approved of a tweet mentioning Foster and the hash tag "contractextension," but the agent didn't stump for his client when reached by phone Sunday.
"Arian is still getting into game shape, yet he's still a difference maker as a three-down back," said McCartney, who recently negotiated a five-year, $61 million deal for Baltimore defensive tackle Haloti Ngata.
As for being in shape, Foster didn't disagree. His hamstring was an issue during training camp (and during the regular season), and he bemoaned not logging those reps "where you're out there sweating and woozy from fatigue."
He senses some of Johnson's struggles are similarly to blame.
"He's going through a lot of what I went through except that I did have some football before," Foster said. "It's tough, and he's getting a lot of criticism right now. When you don't go through training camp, you can run all day. But football shape is football shape, and it takes a while.
"(But) it wouldn't surprise me if he bounces back the rest of the season."
Afterwards, Johnson intimated that nothing was wrong with him, that he was the same player who led the NFL in rushing in 2009. He said he was frustrated watching Foster run wild, but added that he'd have good days again while Foster would inevitably struggle at some point in the future.
In the present, though, there was no one better Sunday than Foster. The reason? His versatility. With star receiver Andre Johnson still sidelined - and for how long, no one can be certain - Foster's hands have become as valuable as his legs.
The perfect example was his 78-yard touchdown reception, a connection that was less pitch and more run.
"Once he gets the ball in his hands, it's hard to bring him down," quarterback Matt Schaub said. "If you are in space and it's one-on-one, he's going to win that battle 9 out of 10 times. We like to get him the ball in open space."
Back in Tennessee, where he attended college, Foster was dancing during timeouts, darting into cutback lanes. Despite requiring IV fluids at halftime, he was clearly enjoying himself, which is when Foster is at his best.
There weren't any dropped passes, as there were last week in Baltimore. There were running lanes, and by the end of regulation, there was the recognition of doing something that only 31 other people have done.
"I didn't know that, but it's an honor," Foster said. "... It's what you sign up for - when you get the ball in your hands, you try to take advantage of the situation and make plays."
It's what you sign up for.
An innocent comment, but maybe telling, too.
"I don't think we've seen the best of Arian Foster in 2011," McCartney said. "The arrow is pointed upward."
Just like Foster's price tag.

The error rate on EU budget spending was almost 5% in 2012, according to the annual report by the European Court of Auditors, published on Tuesday (5 November).
The European Court of Auditors (ECA) presented its annual report to the European Parliament's budgetary control committee on Tuesday (5 November). The report discussed the audit of the EU's budget for 2012.
While the court of auditors signed off on projects funded by the EU budget, they reported that errors occurred too frequently and in too many areas. The rate of error in spending the budget was 4.8% for 2012, up from 3.9% in 2011.
Most common errors included "payments for beneficiaries or projects that were ineligible" or purchases of services, goods or investments "without proper application of public purchasing rules," the auditors said.
Most errors occurred in spending the rural development fund, the report shows. This part of the budget, worth €15 billion in total, has an error rate of 7.9%. The budget allocated to regional policy, energy and transport accounts for some €40.7 billion, of which 6.8% contained errors in its expenditure.
'Rethink the spending framework'
The auditors called for the EU to rethink the way it spends the budget across the 28 member states. Currently, the funding is allocated to member states, which are responsible for spending it according to set rules.
But the budget's legislative framework is too complex, the ECA said in its presentation. EU countries also have little incentive to spend their part of the EU budget correctly. The auditors called for a simplification of the rules, focused on the value the EU funds are intended to bring.
"[These errors] persist because the frameworks in place are not the right incentives to avoid them or are not being effectively applied. There is not sufficient attention being paid to the quality of expenditure," said ECA President Vitor Caldeira in a video statement.
>> Read Caldeira's OpEd on EURACTIV: Next EU budget should put value for money first
Algirdas Šemeta, the commissioner responsible for auditing, said that "breaches of national rules account for significant part of the error rate," citing poor reliability of national checks and overcomplicated systems as the main sources of errors.
Naming and shaming
Although the European Commission carries the final responsibility for how EU money is spent, member states have significant room for manoeuver on allocating funds, and carry a shared responsibility for the monitoring of such spending.
MEPs were divided over who was to blame for the errors.
Michael Theurer of the liberal ALDE group said "the member states are chiefly to blame for the majority of the errors and not the European Commission". Philip Bradbourn, from the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group, said that "the EU must accept ultimate responsibility for what happens to the money it dishes out."
In 2012, the EU budget was €138.6 billion. Up to 80% of the budget is jointly managed by the EU member states and the Commission.
The European Parliament and the EU Council are currently entangled in a dispute over the budget for 2014. The European Parliament still has to hold a final vote on the long-term budget for 2014-2020, the multi-annual financial framework, on which a deal was struck over the summer.
Michael Theurer, a German Liberal (ALDE) MEP who chairs the Parliament's budgetary control committee, said: "It is clear from the report that the member states are chiefly to blame for the majority of the errors and not the European Commission. We should be much clearer about pinpointing those responsible and holding them to account. Otherwise, the impression that money is being wasted at the European level will persist when it is actually up to the member states to take more seriously the good management of EU funds."
German MEP Inge Gräßle, spokeswoman on budgetary control for the centre-right European People's Party (EPP), commented: "The third consecutive increase in error rates reveals that administrative authorities in Member States increasingly abandon working legally. If we do not act now and solve this problem, there will be a giant bill for each member state".
Conservative MEP and former European Commission Chief Accountant Marta Andreasen said: "Despite pressure from the European Council, the way the EU makes payments from its budget is getting steadily worse not better. This should send alarm bells ringing across member states' governments. However, I fear there is a business as usual mentality, where 'irregularities' are tolerated despite the huge amounts of money involved. This mentality is not helped by the terminology used by the auditors, who refer to the payments being 'underperforming' – an insult to the taxpayers."
Philip Bradbourn, spokesperson on budgetary control for the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), said: "I understand full well that much of the misspending occurs when member states fail to exercise proper supervision of spending within their borders, but the fact is that the EU must accept ultimate responsibility for what happens to the money it dishes out. Every year we are told the Commission is serious about tackling the problem. Every year it gets still worse. It is shameful to the EU's integrity and unacceptable to its taxpayers."
Errors in the administration of the EU money are not rare, leading the European Court of Auditors to reject EU accounts many times in the past.
>> Read: EU accounts rejected for 13th consecutive year
Most frequent errors occur in areas jointly administered by the European Commission and the member states, such as regional aid funding and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
A 2007 report by the European Court of Auditors found that 12% of regional aid was not properly accounted for and listed a surprising list of "new beneficiaries" of EU agricultural aid – railway companies, horse riding and breeding clubs, golf and leisure clubs and city councils.

ARLINGTON, Va. (Oct. 8)
One of the nation's leading authorities on genocide said today that the Nazi death camps have led to a world society which "will not raise a finger to halt" a Holocaust. Dr. Henry Feingold, professor of history at the Groduate Center of New York's City University and Baruch College, told 200 social scientists assembled at the Hospitality House here to heed the Holocaust as "a last desperate warning that a world which can consume its own children is out of control."
Feingold was the keynote speaker at the two day National Conference on Teaching About Genocide and the Nazi Holocaust in Secondary Schools sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith's Center for Studies on the Holocaust in cooperation with the National Council for Social Studies.
In welcoming remarks, Maxwell E. Greenberg, ADL national chairman, said the conference "marks the coming of age of Holocaust education in America's schools. " He called such education "a legal, ethical and educational imperative… in a world where cross-burnings and swastika paintings more often than not turn out to be the work of teenagers."
The conference also featured reports on two major studies: a survey of secondary school history texts by Dr. Glenn Pate, assistant professor of secondary education at the University of Arizona, which found that not a single textbook in current use by high schools in the U.S. adequately covers the subject of the Holocaust; and a poll of Christian clergy conducted by Dr. Robert Wunthnow, director of the Program in Science and Human Affairs of the Sociology Department, Princeton University, which revealed a widespread belief that a holocaust is "an ongoing threat to human society" and that Christians may be marked as potential victims.
The 200 participants–educators, administrators, sociologists and human relations specialists from every section of the country–also reviewed problems in developing instruction programs since a previous conference on the Holocaust in 1977, and participated in workshops on new programs, materials, teaching and training methods.
In addition there were showings of films, film slides and other audio visual material, displays of print, art and graphic materials, and an exhibit of German documents relating to the Holocaust.
In his address, Feingold said that the Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews presented the world with "an alternate solution to the age old problem of living together in a society though we are different. "The final solution, he said, "was an extension of the industrial system, the hallmark of European civilization which permitted it to dominate the world in previous centuries."
Feingold called the Holocaust "unique" because in applying the most modern techniques "to grind the Jews into ashes, it in fact murdered the most representative of its own children, the most universalistic of universalists, the most European of Europeans, the most Jewish of Jews."
Continuing, he said: "It was in fact an act of social cannibalism on an unprecedented scale. Hod the Nazi death machine been allowed to continue, entire sections of Europe, especially in the East, would have been depopulated. Europe would literally have consumed itself in flame. The Jews were merely the first and most representative to go up the chimneys of Auschwitz. There were others to follow."

In a recent trip to Poland, Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi told former Solidarity leader Lech Walesa that Poland's path has inspired her to dream of the same for her country. She told reporters in Warsaw, "We in Burma are just at the beginning of this road that you took many, many years earlier, a couple of decades earlier, but we believe, as you did then, that we should succeed . . . It is very encouraging for me to be among people who understand exactly the kind of struggle that we would still have to go through before we can say that we are a democratic society."
This meeting of Nobel Peace Prize laureates, important on its own, strikes me as extraordinary. Burma and Poland could not be more different culturally and historically, yet both Suu Kyi and Walesa work toward the same goal. The Iron Curtain dropped several decades ago, while Burma continues to this day to inch toward freedom. There must be something universal in the struggle for Suu Kyi to see her country and her goals mirrored in Poland and Walesa's.
At CIPE, we talk a lot about a concept called "Democracy that Delivers," meaning that governments should be held accountable by their citizens both during and in between elections. The success of a democracy depends on the involvement of the people under its rule. Good governments are open, responsive, and accountable to their citizens.
But, I wonder if the Burma/Poland example raises a larger question: Are democracies also accountable to those countries that continue to struggle toward freedom? Do they have a responsibility not only to their own citizens but to the citizens of the world? Should they work to uphold the tenets of transparency, accountability, and fairness because, in part, they might be the role models for a future generation? As we honor International Day of Democracy, it's worth asking.

Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration Guide > Working with New Partners > Process of Enrolling a New Partner Company >
This task is a step in Process of Enrolling a New Partner Company.
Siebel applications include two different types of data, which you work with in different ways:
The next step in adding a new partner company is to assign it the appropriate master data.
To assign most master data to partners, you use access groups. Before you can do this, your channel operations manager must set up the appropriate access groups and categories of master data, as described in Setting Up Siebel PRM. Then, any partner company that you add to the access group will have access to the master data visible to that access group.
Price lists are the only type of master data that is not assigned using access groups, because price lists are usually assigned to smaller groups of partner companies than other forms of master data. For example, you may assign master data to an access group called resellers, but you may have a different price list for each reseller, or you may have a standard price list for most resellers but special price lists for five of your resellers. Assigning price lists to access groups would limit the utility of the access groups, because price lists often do not follow the same rules as other master data.
You may also want to assign some types of transactional data, such as customer accounts and contacts, to the new partner company. You will assign other types of transactional data, such as opportunities and service requests, to the partner company after you start working with it.
Most often, the type of access groups that partners are assigned to Partner Communities, but they can be assigned to access groups of any type.
For information about assigning transactional data to partner companies, see Sharing Data with Partners.
To add a partner company to an access group
The Add Access Groups dialog box appears.
To assign a price list to a partner company
The Price Lists view appears.
The Add Price List dialog box appears.
The price list is added to the Price Lists list.

A constraint is satisfiable iff it has a solution. Not all constraints are satisfiable. For example, the constraint c1 c2 is unsatisfiable, because for all assignments the denotation of c1 will be the feature graph (c1,) and the denotation of c2 will be (c2,) which is not the same graph. Clearly a constraint may also define such a clash indirectly, as in the constraint:
The problem whether a constraint is satisfiable is decidable.
Algorithms deciding satisfiability for more powerful feature logics
(extending the current logic with disjunction and negation) are for
example presented in [39], [89]. The
present algorithm is an adaptation to
of the algorithm
presented in [89]. The algorithm consists of a number
of simplification rules. Rules are applied until no rules can be
applied anymore. In that case the constraint is said to be in normal
form or normal. For normal constraints it is trivial to check
whether the constraint is satisfiable (clash-free). A constraint is
solved iff it is normal and clash-free.
The simplification algorithm is presented here in two steps. Firstly, I show how to remove all complex paths (paths containing more than one label), by the introduction of some new variables. The resulting constraint, which is called basic, is shown to be satisfiable iff the original constraint was. The next step then rewrites constraints without complex path expressions into normal form.
A basic constraint is a constraint in which each equation has one of the following forms:
An arbitrarily constraint can be mapped into a basic constraint by the introduction of new variables. is satisfiable iff is. We will say that two assignments agree on a set of variables iff they assign the same elements in the domain to these variables.
In the following, C is a constraint, [X| s]C is the constraint obtained from C by replacing each occurrence of variable X with s.
Apply any of the rules, until the rules are not applicable:
Each step of the algorithm preserves satisfiability, hence a sequence of steps preserves satisfiability as well. Step 1 of the algorithm changes a constraint into . It is straightforward to show that is V-equivalent with (and hence is satisfiable iff is). Assume that , then let be the assignment which is exactly like , except that the newly introduced Xi is mapped to the feature graph (s)l1...ln-1. Clearly, . The other way around is similar. The same reasoning applies for the steps 2 and 3.
This constraint is simplified, according to the rules above, in the following three steps, using respectively rule 1, 2 and 3:
Given a basic constraint, the following simplification rules rewrite this constraint into its equivalent normal form.
To show that a normal form of a constraint C computed by this algorithm is equivalent to C observe that each of the simplification rules preserves equivalence. In the first rule the variable X is `isolated'; in the rest of the constraint the variable is replaced by the constant or variable it is equated with. Clearly in this case and are equivalent, because, by definition (X) = (s), hence C = C[X| s]. As for the third rule, note that the solutions of {Xl s,Xl t} are those assignments such that the descriptors Xl, s, t have the same denotation. The same is the case for the solutions of {Xl s, s t}. Hence the third rule preserves equivalence. The second rule and the fourth rule clearly preserve equivalence.
Furthermore, the simplification algorithm always terminates, because clearly there cannot be an infinite sequence of simplification rules starting from any basic constraint . To see this, note that there is only a finite number of variables in a given constraint. The first rule `isolates' such a variable, hence this rule can be applied at most once for each variable; furthermore none of the other rules introduce new variables. The second rule can only be applied a finite number of cases because the number of constants is also finite, and not increased by any of the other rules. The third rule can only be applied a finite number of times because it reduces the length of the paths in a constraint; none of the other rules increase this length. The final rule can only be applied a finite number of times because it reduces the number of equations in a constraint, and none of the other rules increases this number.
The simplification algorithm is very similar to the `unification' algorithms based on the simplification rules for a system of term equations as presented for example in [5]. Note though that this system does not contain an `occur check' as I did not exclude cyclic structures.
A normal constraint is clash-free if it does not contain any of the following constraints:
where is the transitive and reflexive closure of which is a binary relation on the variables occurring in :
This constraint can then be rewritten into normal form, for example in the following steps, using the rules 3, 1, 3 and 1 of definition 8. The application of the rules 2 and 4 are performed implicitly in the example (for simplicity).
The principal solution of this constraint is defined as follows:
The first two assignments (X0) and (X1) can be illustrated as:
The matrix representation of a constraint on a variable is best introduced using an example. For the result of example 9, the matrix representation for the constraints on variable X0 looks as follows:
The names of variables only matter in case they are referred to more than once. In the foregoing example, I therefore omit the variables and instead write:
As another example of this notation, consider the following constraint:
The matrix representation of the constraints on X0 looks as follows:
Usually an empty feature structure will not be shown explicitly, but instead only the corresponding variable will be shown, i.e. instead of
I write
Furthermore, I use a special notation for parts of such matrices that are used to encode lists and difference lists. If no confusion arises I use the HPSG [69] convention of writing a list within angled brackets, where the comma separates elements of the list, and the vertical bar may be used to separate the head from the tail of the list. In path equations the elements of such lists are referred to with attributes f and r (for first and rest), the empty list is represented with the constant . In case of difference lists I moreover write the `out' part of the difference list right after the `in'-part, separated by `-'. The attributes in and out are used in path equations to refer to these parts. Moreover, in case of a difference list where the tail of the `in' part is reentrant with the `out' part, I simply write the `in' list within `` ''. As an example I write ``letters from mexico get lost'' for letters, from, mexico, get, lost|X1 - X1.
As a further abbreviation I sometimes use the functor-argument notation for semantic structures, as introduced in section 1.2.3. Using these abbreviations, the foregoing constraint is written as:

Road work to nowhere
Project devastated his business, Party Warehouse owner says
Updated 9:54 pm, Wednesday, November 14, 2012
COLONIE — The party is over for The Party Warehouse.
After 25 years in business, the provider of party supplies for generations of birthdays, communions, bar mitzvahs and other celebrations will be shutting its store on Fuller Road.
"We're starting a going out of business sale in the store Saturday," owner Jerry Sykes said. "I don't know how long it will take."
Last Friday, he shut down his stores in Clifton Park and Springfield, Mass.
While the economy is a challenge, Sykes said, his store was devastated by two years of road construction that kept the customers away. He has been an outspoken critic of the way the work was handled.
"The economy is struggling, but the major impact was the construction," he said. "People still come in the store every day and say 'I didn't even want to come near Fuller Road.'"
Sykes told the Times Union in August he lost 20 percent of his business last year during the first year of road construction. His store remained open, but it became difficult to reach and many customers stayed away.
This year, the other end of Fuller Road was closed between the Interstate 90 interchange at Exit 2 and Washington Avenue in the city of Albany. A roundabout was built to create a new intersection for Washington Avenue and Fuller Road leading to the new NanoFab X building.
Though the work was farther away, initially electronic signs indicated Fuller Road was closed. It didn't make clear the road was open and easily reached from Central Avenue, he told the newspaper this summer.
While the state Department of Transportation aimed to end the work in late September, Sykes noted then that many of his sales occur in the weeks leading to schools reopening.

A $5000 hamburger? The opportunity to be in control of the Bellagio Fountains? Here are 10 Ways to Experience the Luxurious Side of Las Vegas.Read All Entries
5 books you'll want to read now
I'm finding that the only thing keeping me sane in these challenging times is reading.
Because I'm disgusted by the lack of education in our country — and, worse, the pride in that ignorance — I'm determined to keep learning, to keep seeking out different voices and to keep trying to understand the world.
I recently attended a One Day University course where professor Seth Lerer explained that reading teaches empathy, something we seem to be sadly lacking in these days. So please keep reading!
Here are a handful of books that kept my empathy level high in the past couple of weeks. Let me know what you think.
Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney
As a New Yorker, a writer, a woman, a wife and a mother, I fell hard for this book.
The novel takes place on the last night of 1984, when sassy 85-year-old Lillian dons her mink coat and decides to take a 10-mile stroll around her beloved Manhattan. Back in the 1930s, she was an A-lister as a copywriter for R.H. Macy's and the highest-paid advertising woman in the country but now she often feels invisible and irrelevant. Based on real adwoman and poet Margaret Fishback, Lillian is sharp, funny and thoughtful, and her story is both a love letter to New York and a fascinating history lesson. It made me nostalgic for a time I never even lived through.
I wasn't surprised to learn that author Kathleen Rooney is also an award-winning poet because this book is so beautifully written, I tried to read it really slowly to savor the language. And, for the first time in maybe ever, I actually looked up all the words I wasn't sure about, picking up gems like Stendhal Syndrome which is the psychosomatic disorder caused when someone is exposed to an experience of great personal significance, particularly when viewing art. Trust me, you will always remember that term because you may be feelings its effects upon reading this stunning novel.
It Happens All The Time by Amy Hatvany
You know I'm a huge Amy Hatvany fan and am convinced she gets better and better with each book. This one is so timely and important, it deserves to be read and discussed by every parent and teenager –not just daughters but — maybe even more crucially, when we have a president who grabs women by their private parts and songs that excuse behavior because of "Blurred Lines" — sons.
The story alternates between the voices of Amber and Tyler, who have been best friends for years. Their relationship is strictly platonic, but they trust each other implicitly and share their deepest secrets — well, other than the fact that Tyler has always wanted to be more than friends. When Amber comes home, engaged, after graduating college, she and Tyler start spending time together again. One drunken night, unsure about her decision to get married, Amber kisses Tyler and everything changes.
I don't want to give anything away but this is a gut-wrenching story that begs to be shared and analyzed and internalized. It feels so real, and the characters and situations are absolutely relatable. I hope this book and the event at the center of it is talked about widely because, as the title so sadly reminds us, "It happens all the time." Maybe, if enough people read this, it won't.
The Most Dangerous Place On Earth by Lindsey Lee Johnson
If you're watching 13 Reasons Why on Netflix, you'll immediately recognize that the most dangerous place on earth — at least for teenagers — is high school, where they're often forced to be someone they're not in order to survive the judgement and cruelty of their peers.
This chilling yet compassionate debut novel introduces us to students at a privileged school, and lets us in to really get to know the complex individuals behind their stereotypes. They're not just popular, nerdy, a jock — they're vulnerable flesh and blood characters who we end up caring deeply about. Johnson's writing is so sharp and the plot rings so devastatingly true, I hope it will serve as a wake-up call to adults to get off their cell phones and pay attention to these young people.
As a parent, I felt a growing sense of dread as I quickly turned the pages leading up to a party which goes tragically out of control. It made me feel grateful that my own kids grew up before every embarrassing mistake was able to be posted online permanently.
Listen To Me by Hannah Pittard
There's nothing like a road trip to test a marriage that's already cracking, and I felt like I was right in the backseat with Gerome, the dog — OMG the dog! — during this long, painful drive from Chicago to Charlottesville.
I love books that offer a real sense of place, and Pittard totally nails the loneliness and desolation of America's highways — and, at its worst, of marriage. As Maggie and Mark drive into the night, the mood becomes more ominous with tornado warnings and stranger danger at each turn.
Pittard is such a good writer that there are scenes in this book I will never forget. Her simple yet elegant prose and her impeccable attention to detail makes this moody and occasionally terrifying story so vivid, so visual, I feel like I just watched a movie.
I am all about female empowerment, and I happily breezed through this beach read about three unlikely friends who get each other through some of the most challenging times of their lives.
Annabel is shocked when her husband announces he's leaving her and their twin boys. Single mother Piper is shocked when her daughter's absentee father decides to re-enter their lives. Mackenzie is shocked when she realizes her marriage is not as strong as she pretended. And I was shocked when I discovered it was midnight and I didn't want to put the book down until I read how it ended!
I rooted for happy endings for all three characters, and really wanted to join the trio for breakfast at their favorite post-workout cafe. Liebert has written a celebration of friendship that made me call my own support system to schedule a long-overdue breakfast — minus the workout.
More from my site
You've done it again, Lois. Every one of these books sounds great….which one do I read first. Thank you for the reviews.
Thanks for sharing your list. I'm looking to pick up some books for when I travel and the most dangerous place on earth sounds intriguing.
And once again you have caused my book list to grow. I am very interested in the book It Happens All The Time by Amy Hatvany.
Great selection! Thanks
Awesome reviews, Lois. These all sound great. More to add to my never-ending list! Looking forward to reading them.
These look great. And my pile of to-be-read grows, as does my Kindle list. Time time time!
It would be impossible to choose just one, they all sound so good. I was already planning to get It Happens all the Time for my senior granddaughter and also a copy for the one in college. I will have to read it to see if I think the 14-year-old boys should read it. They have suddenly topped the girls in their love of reading and they read so fast, it's been hard to keep them supplied.
These sound like great titles! It's been forever since I read a good book! I just picked up the Zookeepers Wife.
Reading is so important to mental wellness. I've not heard of ANY of these books. They sound like great reads.
These all sound amazing. So many books and so little time.

Java For IE8 Vista 32 Bit OsOct 23, 2009
Trying to use the web without Java is like trying to swim with a anchor.I have some problems with getting to use pogo games (I've checked their site for help...refer to anchor comment above) and nothing. I've gone to Java site and same results. I've done a web search and same results. Here is problem. I can log into pogo ok and then select game and get the "you need java" msg.I have java. Version 6 update 16. I have IE8 on a vista 32bit os. Java says to make sure java is enabled for internet explorer in java control panel.I go to java control panel, advanced tab, default for java browsers and the entry for microsoft internet explorer is greyed out, but box does show a check mark.This doesn't seem normal to me. I should beable to check and uncheck that box. I think that java control panel is not seeing IE8, therefore, nada on the pogo. see attached screen shot.View 8 Replies

Madonna is building a new empire, and its home base is Mexico City. The international pop diva is opening a new chain of fitness gyms called Hard Candy and the flagship store will open on November 29 in the upscale Bosques de las Lomas neighborhood in D.F.
The gym came about through a partnership with Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary, and New Evolution Ventures. According to Fox News Latino, the project will go global. A statement from Hard Candy Gyms said they "will open in major cities around the world," including 10 more locations in Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Europe and Asia, but no gyms are immediately planned for the United States.

Great Lakes Ice ChartsEntry ID: G00486
Abstract: Charts show ice extent and concentration three times weekly during the ice season, for all lakes except Ontario, from the 1973/74 ice season through the 2001/2002 ice season. Most charts are annotated to indicate data sources. Straits of Mackinac, Green Bay and Sault Ste. Marie are enlarged as insets, and in some cases, provided as separate charts. From 1973/74 through 1986/87, charts were prepared by the National Weather Service Forecast Office, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Beginning with the 1987/88 season, the National Ice Center (formerly known as the Navy/NOAA Joint Ice Center) in Suitland, Maryland prepared the charts. Charts are available as GIF files.
