'Curves are back' and surely the Beetle is flaunting it. The car retains a similar silhouette design of the original Beetle and the legendary three curves can be spotted easily. The design of the Bug is so famous that the manufacturer needn't even place a "Beetle" badge on the car unlike other VW cars. Check it out if you still haven't noticed it! The VW Beetle is a very cute looking car, and because of the constant brand bashing and very unique design characteristics for so many decades, spotting it amongst the crowd isn't a task. The car is 'cute' to the extent that it has also been renamed as a 'chic' car amongst many.
The VW New Beetle underwent a Euro NCAP test before 2002, and hence the testing parameters were less. The Bug however, scored a maximum of 4 stars in the passenger occupant safety. The video of the EuroNCAP crash test of the New Beetle is shown below.

Adapting the Translational and Clinical Infrastructure to Meet Tomorrow's Challenges
In an analysis of cancer trends over decades, 5-year survival of patients with cancer has risen from approximately 20 percent in 1935 to 50 percent in 1971 to 64 percent by 2003. Although increased screening during this interval has influenced these survival trends, a very reliable endpoint, the number of cancer deaths per 100,000 Americans, has also been falling since about 1990.
Deaths from lung cancer, for example, have been declining in men since 1991 and in women have plateaued since 1995, predictably following the substantial decrease in per capita cigarette consumption that began in the 1960s. Mortality from colorectal cancer has been declining for women since 1975 and for men since the 1980s.
One of the challenges we face is to accelerate these encouraging trends. Partnerships like those with Avon are one way of doing so, as are events such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which allow the research and advocacy communities to reach out to the public and patients in new and different ways.
Another important component of this effort will be the continued emphasis on translational research. Many models exist of optimum interactions between laboratory, clinical, and public health investigators. Translational research, described by some as "from bench to bedside," more accurately involves bidirectional interactions between laboratory and clinical and population science.
In addition to funding research grants, NCI also continues to fund infrastructure to facilitate translational research. NCI-designated cancer centers are the centerpiece of this infrastructure, serving as leaders in the discovery of the nature of cancer and development of more effective approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and therapy. Cancer centers also deliver medical advances to patients and their families, educate health care professionals and the public, and reach out to underserved populations. The National Cancer Advisory Board has recently approved new guidelines for NCI-designated cancer centers, which incorporate the recommendations made by its P30/P50 working group in February 2003. The new guidelines - posted on the NCI Web site at http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/documents/CCSG_Guide12_04.pdf - provide more flexibility to NCI-designated cancer centers. They include new sections on the formation of partnerships, consortium centers, and affiliations; staff investigator support for clinical investigators; and guidance on newer specialized resources, such as informatics and imaging. The guidelines for the SPORE program also are being revised and, like the cancer center guidelines, will reflect the P30/P50 working group's recommendations, including the formation of a parent committee that will review applications across cancer sites and provide a more global management function for the program.
Translational research also requires a cadre of investigators with the appropriate training. NCI remains committed to training the next generation in laboratory, clinical, and population science. To mitigate the impact of a flat budget for 2004, NCI initially supplemented the allocation to the training grant program by a total of $4 million. End-of-the-year money allowed funding of additional training grants. We also were able to provide a number of interim support awards to institutional grants that just missed the payline and had to resubmit. All in all an additional $8.6 million was awarded subsequent to the initial funding projections. NCI also received and reviewed 326 loan repayment applications, of which 176 (54 percent) were funded at a total of $8.2 million.
Whether through innovative partnerships with nonprofit groups or industry, the launch of initiatives such as the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer, or more flexible cancer center guidelines, our work must continuously overcome hurdles and address challenges. Hopefully these initiatives will be reflected in annual cancer trends, and patients and their families will reap the rewards.

Mindful Chi Running
To run without injury, take a lesson from the Far East
By Jeanie Lerche Davis
Reviewed By Charlotte E. Grayson, MD
To begin running, you don't need buns of steel. You don't need iron muscles. You don't even need a masochistic mindset.
It may surprise you, but even the most sports-challenged of us can become runners, and do it without sustaining injuries.
How? Learn to run using your mind-body connection, drawing from traditional Chinese medicine, explains Danny Dreyer, a nationally ranked ultra-marathon runner in the San Francisco Bay area. He lays out his plan in his book Chi Running: A Revolutionary Approach to Effortless, Injury-Free Running.
In Chinese culture, chi (pronounced chee) is the subtle energy force that flows through all parts of your body, he says. By practicing mental focus and relaxation -- principles from the ancient practice of T'ai Chi -- you can train your body to stay centered, relaxed, and move efficiently.
"If you use your brain, you don't need to work your body as hard," Dreyer tells WebMD. "ChiRunning is about having a constant conversation between your mind and your body, getting your mind to train your body to relax, and listen to what your body is trying to tell you."
Effortless running is about relaxing muscles, opening tight joints, and using gravity to do the work, he says. Here's a quick how-to-start outline:
Step 1: Focus Your Mind
"It's the mind that does the bulk of the work in ChiRunning," writes Dreyer. "Your mind turns off the chatter and focuses so it can listen to your body."
Your mind instructs your muscles to start working or relaxing. Your mind orchestrates the perfect run, starting out slowly, finding the perfect tempo, he adds. Your mind takes in the beauty of your surroundings so that you finish relaxed, and full of energy.
When you begin running, your mind must also push against the body's natural inertia. "Your body is like a dumb animal," Dreyer tells WebMD. "It will stay at rest until acted upon by an outside force like your mind. You have to train it."
Step 2: Sense Your Body
Pay close attention to what your body is doing. Practice listening to any little nuances that you can detect. Feel your foot hitting the ground. Feel your posture.
Is your body moving in the way you intended it to? Is your movement easier or more difficult? Are there subtle changes you should make?
As you begin running, you must develop body sense. Then you will become your own best teacher and coach, says Dreyer.
Step 3: Breathe to Tap Into Chi
The more efficiently your body can take in oxygen, the easier running will feel, Dreyer explains. If you're not breathing deeply into your lower lungs, you're not getting as much air as you could -- a common problem when people begin running.
To belly-breathe, stand or sit and place your hands over your belly button. Now purse your lips as if you're trying to blow a candle out, and exhale, emptying your lungs by pulling in your belly button toward your spine. When you've blown out as much air as you can, relax your belly and the inhale will occur naturally.
Practice breathing out for three steps, breathing in for two steps. Try matching your breath with your cadence.
Step 4: Relax Your Muscles
Tight muscles can't get the oxygen they need. The cure is easy: Just relax! Don't take yourself so seriously. Drop your shoulders. Smile. Relax your glutes. Float like a butterfly... lighten up, says Dreyer.
When muscles are loose and relaxed, the oxygen carried in your blood can enter the muscle cells much more easily than if your muscles are tense. Keep telling your muscles, "Softer is better!"
Step 5: Practice Good Posture
Having good running posture is the cornerstone of ChiRunning. When your posture is correct, energy or chi flows through your body unhindered, he explains.
Your aligned body has a centerline that runs from head to foot. It is the "steel" that supports your body, which allows your arms and legs to relax. Running with your posture out of alignment creates tension and fatigue.
Stand in front of a mirror. Straighten your upper body. Then look down at your feet. If you can see your shoelaces, it's a good bet that your dots are connected in a straight line -- perfect. Memorize how this feels. Practice it.
Step 6: Start Slow
When you begin to run, take it gradually, says Dreyer. "Practice your posture. Really memorize what it feels like to have good posture. Feel yourself standing in straight line. Practice alternating on one foot, then switch. Shift weight back and forth. Feel yourself keeping posture line straight while on one foot at a time."

I've been a good boy.
I'm waiting….
Smells good!
Come on, give it to me already.
Recently my Sister indulged in her interest to play card games.
In my childhood, I don't recall playing card games, except for Uno. At that time, I associated card games to those poker cards like Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland hehehe :D.
Anyway, we bought 2 new card games – Cluedo and Life.
I've played Life when I was on holiday in Koh Lipe. It was a board game.
Pretty interesting. I can't wait to try the card version.
I think it's a family trait to be slightly obsessed with things. Ones we find something enjoyable, we indulge in it like there is no tomorrow… hahahhaa… and the other obsession is that some things like cards, books, pretty boxes must be kept "as good as new"; no finger prints, doggy ears, scratches, etc. So guess what we did with our game cards? We laminated each and every card, including the instructions template!
Now, what's left is to cut them and nip the corners into nice rounded edges.
They play time! Yippie!
Today, Tom's contract ended. He offered me a discount, only 50 diamonds for another 5 days of service but I could not afford him.
I miss him dearly. It's not the same without him. Things move slowly and I have to work harder.
I am addicted to Hay Day.
Albeit it slowing down my phone, and me threatening to delete the damn game again and again, I find myself checking on my farm every now and again, and reminding myself to load the boay or harvest the crops!
Two nights ago I found myself setting my alarm clock to wake up every two hours just so I can maximise Tom's services before it expires. I did this for the following night as well… sigh!!!
I grin with embarassment when I think about it. An experience that may one day earn it's worthiness when reminising the silly things we do in life..
Haha… going back to my virtual farm now.
Scout's paw
Last weekend, I went to this cafe called Bear Paw Cafe. It's one of those Taiwanese inspired kinda cafes (except this one don't serve pork, because in my experience Taiwanese restaurants always specialised in pork dishes).
What I liked most is their bread. It's soft because it is made using rice flour (the "pau" type) and steamed.
The bread is shaped like a paw with a paw print on top.
There are some choices of fillings and sauces, and even what the bread is made of (flavours added into the rice flour) like pumpkin, brown sugar, milk, etc.
I had Hawaiian Chicken (recommended by the server), of which the chicken was fried, oozing hot, crispy and dripping with thousand island sauce. Added on a piece of pineapple, but the server forgot to add it in (bad first impression hah!). The bread was brown sugar flavored. Overall nice.
They serve those teas+fruit combination drinks, again Taiwanese inspired, which is very common in Klang Valley area these days. I didn't like my Lemon Oolong tea. Too sweet and too sour at the same time >_<
This satisfied my urge to try this "burger". Read some reviews online and most said it's a must try, so I did. It's worth a try, whether or not you will go back again it's up to you. I might when I feel like having bread.. burger.. hmmm… would be better if they served pork!
It's been so long since I posted about crafts. It's not that I have not been making things but just not as frequent as before.
Lately I made charms… Car Charms… made especially to hang in the car where the rear view mirror is at.
This was inspired by my fellow church member who was looking for a nice Crucifix for ger car. I had this nice bronze Crucifix which she loved but didn't just want to hang in with a string. So, after some thoughts, I made these.
This is just one variation where I made them with polymer clay beads and crystal beads. Others I use connectors or just plain crystals.
The Crucifixs was purchase on ebay. They are really beautiful.
Spell DESSERTS the other way around… it spells STRESSED.
Yes, lately I am feeling very very stressed with my day job. So much to do, new assignment, new colleugue to work with. I'm getting old, my learning curve is not as steep as previously, I'm a bit slow lately :P. Oh well!
These helped a lot! Thank God business trips comes with great buffet choices!
Have you ever tried Pop Tarts?
Well, if you live in the US, you must know it. I am told this is super famous in the US especially as a breakfast food.
I recently was introduced to this by a friend, and yes! It is delicious but a tad bit too sweet. I can only fathom a few bites of it at one time.
Smores is my favourite!
Is it really a healthy breakfast meal? Hmmmm… too much sugar…. ooo definitely not! I'm surprised because Kellogg's brand usually carry products which are relatively high in protein, low sugar and low fat. Hmmm…oh well…
Only certain shops here in KL carry this (probably that's why I don't know about it). Try it!
This is another of my favourite brunch place – Touche in Section 17. I go there after Mass on Sundays.. and have been there a few times now since Chinese New Year.
What I like is the cooling environment, and that it is easy to get a parking space. Not too crowded.
This was their Charcoal burger. I had this because that day when we went to celebrate my Sister's birthday, we were late (past 11am) and they stop serving breakfast sets. Anyway, no regrets. Though I must caution that their lamb chops (Dad had it) was not so good. Their meat choice was too tough and too much bone.
My absolute favourite pastry is…
I don't know what they call this, but it's lots of nuts with caramel on a very crispy filo pastry. Yum !!! Cannot have enough of this. Two mouthfulls and it's gone.
I've always like cheese and mushroom. Decided to try this bread. Not too bad.
Ok, now I sound like I'm making a review of this place. Not intentionally, but if it brings good customers to this place, no harm.

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
The Foursquare Michaylira Snowboard Jacket is one of those jackets that can pull of simplicity in an amazing fashion, but beneath the surface this item packs plenty of punch to make it stand out from the competition. For starters, the Polyester material used to build the shell of this jacket is of the highest quality and ensures both comfort and durability are at their maximum levels. Inside, the 100g Polyfill makes sure warmth is never an issue, rounding out the Michaylira as one of the best values on the market.
Though this thing does fit a bit big on me (I'm 6' and skinny), I really like it. Its very warm; done me well on several blustery ones. But the big vents have allowed me to avoid a trip to the car on a couple days where the sun turned a cold morning into a spring-like afternoon. Styling is good in black (those marks all over it are little silvery trees). My only real complaint is the pocket setup. There are plenty of them, just not how I like em. Doesn't have the vertical pocket along the front zipper (my favorite pocket!) and also doesn't have a clear passholder pocket on inside (though it does have cords and little slip pocket that work). Definitely worth the price I paid .

All and sundry compare this game with Minecraft, of course because Minecraft is the most popular survival game, but there is a close analogue, less known "Stranded 2". Good graphics and a pinch of horror - all that was missing in "Stranded 2".

Dundee kitesurfer killed at Lincoln City
Jul 4, 2014 | 1 Comment
News-Register Staff
LINCOLN CITY — Wyle "Dale" Johnson, 49, of Dundee, has been identified by the Oregon State Police as the kitesurfer who died about 5 p.m. Thursday in the ocean off the beach at Roads End Recreation Site, located on the east end of Lincoln City.
Johnson was a member of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. He was a lieutenant at Station 35 in King City.
"Fellow firefighters said Dale loved his crew, his job and was someone who was passionate about everything he did — be it work or play," Tualatin Valley spokesperson Cassandra Ulven said. "He was an avid kitesurfer and enjoyed his time on the water."
OSP was notified that an adult male was being transported to Samaratin North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City after being found by a friend unresponsive in the water while kitesurfing. CPR was administered on the beach by the friend and fire personnel, but Johnson was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In addition to OSP, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Pac West ambulance and Lincoln City police also responded.
Johnson started his career as a volunteer firefighter in Jackson County, Oregon, according to a release issued by Tualatin Valley. In 1995, he joined the agency as a firefighter/paramedic, and in 2006, was promoted to lieutenant.
Since 2011, Johnson was assigned to the King City station.
"Dale Johnson was a good firefighter, a good lieutenant and a good man," Tualatin Valley Chief Mike Duyck said. "The men and women at TVF&R will miss him, and our hearts go out to his family."

dlombardo: what's interesting here is that this is NOT a recurring element in Schenectady. This is, in fact, the first time I've seen this happen in all the years I've covered the City Council.

SchenectadyScott: the story includes the total (with fees): A homeowner in Schenectady with the average house, assessed at $110,800, pays $4,107.60 in taxes. The owner also pays roughly $779 in garbage, sewer and water taxes, because the average house has 1.5 baths. (Sewer and water rates are based partly on the number of fixtures in the house.)
That gives a grand total of $4,887 for city, county and school bills.

2RIGBY4: Interesting question! I hadn't remembered that there was an old station there. I called the mayor after reading your comment, and he said the gas station was deemed structurally unsound by the building inspector and that it and 605 were leaning toward each other.
"It was going to fall onto the service station/repair shop. The repair shop was going to fall toward 605," he said.
So he asked for a total price to demolish both. As stated in the story, that will be covered by insurance and/or Metroplex and the city IDA.

|The aim of this study is the elaboration of a high index sol-gel material in order to prepare submicrometric grating. The gratings were obtained after few seconds of UV exposure in one step using an organically modified silica-hafnia matrix. The chemical composition of thin films after UV and annealing treatments were studied using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. The study of optical properties revealed that the annealed films are transparent from 200 to 1000 nm and have a refractive index from 1.550 to 1.701 depending on the hafnium concentration.

Students in the Post-Conviction Clinic work to exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals and correct other manifest injustices in the Arizona criminal justice system. The Clinic works closely with the Arizona Justice Project, which itself is housed at the College of Law and was founded in 1998 as one of the first innocence and post-conviction review projects in the country.
The Clinic presently focuses on cases involving DNA evidence and claims of actual innocence. Aiding the Justice Project in implementing a $1.3 million dollar National Institute of Justice grant, the Clinic works to identify, investigate, and analyze state inmates' substantial claims of actual innocence where DNA evidence has the potential to exonerate the inmate from a conviction involving murder, non-negligent homicides, and sexual assault. As the Project is one of the first recipients of this type of federal grant, the Clinic and Project have become a national model in this effort.
Because work on these DNA cases represents a cooperative effort among the Project, the Arizona Attorney General's Office, and the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, litigation is not yet a primary component of the Clinic's work. Students instead produce written work focused on reviewing and analyzing the history of the conviction, the role DNA evidence could play in exonerating the inmate, analyzing the potential reasons for any wrongful conviction, interviewing witnesses and inmates, locating biological evidence, evaluating whether a given case should be submitted for DNA testing, and participating in any post-mortem of a wrongful conviction aimed at developing policy recommendations for avoiding similar miscarriages of justice. The Justice Project and Clinic does litigate, however, when necessary in these DNA cases.
From time to time, the Clinic may identify cases which do not qualify under the terms of the federal grant, but nonetheless present significant claims of wrongful convictions or some other form of manifest injustice. As resources permit, the Clinic may work these types of cases, including pursuing any necessary investigation and litigation (e.g., the filing of a Petition for Post-Conviction Relief pursuant to Rule 32, Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure).
The classroom component of the Clinic is designed to help the student perform the Clinic's work and expose him or her to the issues involved in post-conviction representation and the broader topic of wrongful convictions generally. A two-hour seminar session will be held each week. Some of these sessions involve guest lecturers who are experts in their respective fields (e.g., investigators, forensic evidence scientists, experts in eyewitness mis-identification, etc.) or trips to a crime laboratory and police evidence warehouse. In addition, students will attend a weekly two-hour "case rounds" session which focuses on a discussion of students' cases and the ongoing work.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (June 3, 2013) (KWSN)- Sioux Falls freshmen men's pole vaulters Jagger Gran and Scott Greenman along with freshmen jumper Jazzelena Black have qualified and will compete at the 2013 USA Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships from June 19-23 in Des Moines, Iowa.
Gran, the 2013 NSIC indoor men's pole vault champion and NSIC Men's Indoor Track and Field Newcomer of the Year, cleared five meters (16 feet, five inches) at the NSIC outdoor championships, which matched the 2013 USA Junior Men's minimum-qualifying clearance. Greenman vaulted a career-best 5.10 meters to win the NSIC outdoor men's crown last month at Howard Wood Field.
Black, who hails from Oxnard, Calif., qualified for the both the junior women's long jump and triple jump events. In the long jump, she earned a career-best mark of 5.96 meters (19 feet, 6.75 inches) at the 2013 Drake Relays and posted a personal-best of 12.34 meters (40 feet, six inches) in the triple jump at the 2013 Husker Invitational. The 2013 Junior Women's qualifying standards are 5.94 meters and 12.32 meters, respectively.
The championships, which are to be held at Track Central USA, host the top track and field athletes between the ages of 16 and 19. Top finishers in each event will compete for the United States in Medellin, Colombia, from August 23-25.
Greater Des Moines and Drake University will serve as co-hosts of the event.
The freshmen trio qualified for the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field championships last month in Pueblo, Colo., where Gran earned NCAA All-American honors with an eighth place finish in men's pole vault.

Remember Heidi Agan? The 32-year-old waitress and mom of two who quit her job as a server in order to fulfill her life's ambition of ... impersonating Kate Middleton full-time? Well, she's taken her shtick to a whole new level: She plans to "shadow" Kate's pregnancy -- with fake baby bump prosthetics! Oh, how I wish I was kidding.
The BBC is reporting that Agan "bought a bump in various sizes" because, she says, "As Kate grows I will, too — to be authentic I thought it was important." Agh.
Oh, and somehow, it gets even creepier ...
Agan explains that her attempt to be "pregnant" at the same time as the Duchess has its challenges.
It's difficult at the moment as she's not big enough yet to change her entire wardrobe so it's difficult to see how she's going to dress it.
Is it just me or is this a weeee bit Single White Female?! Okay, okay, the woman makes a really awesome living -- $1,050 an appearance and she does about three a week -- being the faux Kate. So, I can understand that she wants to take her "craft" seriously and be as authentic as she can for her audiences. But something about this rubs me the wrong way.
More from The Stir: Kate Middleton Bizarrely Psyched to Ride Public Transportation & We Feel Bad for Her
Just like movie stars and politicians, Kate's a public figure who is bound to be copied left and right. That's a part of her life now. But no matter who you are -- Kate, Kim Kardashian, or someone who lives her life completely out of the public eye -- your pregnancy should be treated as a personal and, to some extent, a private matter. It's Kate's pregnancy -- hers alone. Her body, her business. That shouldn't be taken away from Kate just because she married a prince and happens to be carrying the heir to the throne.
Makes me really wanna tell Heidi Agan to get a life ... of her own!
Check out ABC's sit-down with Heidi from this past fall ...
How do you feel about Heidi's impersonation of Kate's pregnancy?
While I can think of events where someone who impersonates, say, a famous musician might be a fun addition to the festivities...what the heck kind of occasion requires a Kate Middleton impersonator? At that price, no less?!
I was about to say this lady needs a life. However, she makes about $3000/week playing pretend....................nope, still creepy.
Am I the only one who thinks she looks nothing like the duchess? A horrid fake tan, the same hairstyle, and the same clothes don't make a good impersonator.

Tomas and the Library Lady (1997)
by Pat Mora
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Great story full of culture. I love how the author showcases the importance of literacy and storytelling.
The Pura Belpre award winning book, is about the man whom it is named for. Tomas discovers the library, and in return begins his love of education and stories. Beautiful illustrations.
7. Tomas and the Library Lady, by Pat Mora, illustrated by Raul Colon, and published in 2000 by Dragonfly Books, is a Biographic picture book about the late Tomas Rivera and how books changed his life. I thought this was a really good book with stunning visuals, a great message, and nice plot suspense. The illustrations actually start out very boring and simple. They come alive full of color and detail when Tomas opens his first book in the library. At this point a huge dinosaur takes over the page. The illustration is very detailed as I could make out the scales on the T-Rex's body. The illustrator also carries this over to the next page but makes the images smaller as Tomas is finishing up the books. When he is done the vast images go away. But the illustrations stay vibrant and detailed. I liked the symbolism of the illustrations. That books can take you to far off places in your head and create great details in your head as well. The main theme and big idea in this book is that books can take you to other worlds in your head and can offer you an escape from the busy world that we live in. Tomas discovers that books can ease his pain when his immigrant family has to move from state to state to find work. Tomas gets so into the world of books that we see him spending more and more time in the library. One plot twist is when Tomas has to move. He has found a great library with great books and a great librarian. He is sad to leave but the librarian gives him some books and tells him that there are libraries all around with many stores. The biggest "plot twist" is at the end when I found out that this is a biographic on the real Tomas Rivera. This book was based on his life as a migrant worker who valued books and education. The postscript goes on to say that he obtained a PhD and has a library named after him. I thought that this was a great book that explored the topic of imagination through books.
This is a pretty interesting story, partly because it's true. I enjoyed reading about this budding little storyteller, who gets lots of encouragement from his family as well as from the "library lady." Nice illustrations as well.
Every summer, Tomás and his family would travel from their home in Texas to the corn fields of Iowa, where his parents worked as farmhands. Sitting in the shade of a tree with their grandfather, Papá Grande, on the hot afternoons, Tomás and his brother Enrique would listen to his many wonderful stories. When Tomás completed one of those stories for him, Papá Grande suggested that it was time for him to find some of his own... at the local library. And so began a wonderful summer of discovery, in which a kind library lady pointed Tomás towards a wealth of informative and entertaining books, about everything from dinosaurs to tigers.
Based upon the life of Mexican-American poet and educator Tomás Rivera, the son of migrant farm-workers, who eventually became the chancellor of the University of California, Riverside, Tomás and the Library Lady is a lovely tribute to a remarkable man, and to the woman who first set him on his journey of discovery. It emphasizes the joy of reading - its transformative and transportive power - as young Tomás becomes so absorbed in his books that Iowa, Texas, the entire world, all fade away as he reads. I was reminded, in fact, of one of my favorite early readers - also about a library - Crosby Bonsall's Tell Me Some More..., and that is high praise! The accompanying artwork by Raul Colón is beautiful, accentuating the magical aspects of Tomás' reading. All in all, a wonderful picture-book, highly recommended to all young bibliophiles and library lovers!

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375803491, Paperback)Sometimes you read a story and it almost seems too nice. This book may seem to be one of those at first, but the difference is that this story is true! Tomás and the Library Lady is the wonderfully illustrated tale of Tomás Rivera and the kind librarian who helped him learn to love books. Tomás started his life as a migrant worker and, when he died, was a university chancellor. (The UC Riverside library now bears his name.)
This tribute to Tomás and his mentor reminds us of the power of stories and those dedicated librarians who have changed the lives of so many people. (Recommended for ages 4-8; it's great for new English readers and is also available in Spanish.)

While helping his family in their work as migrant laborers far from their home, Tomas finds an entire world to explore in the books at the local public library.

Dog Food Recipes: Cool Treats for Warm Weather

We are, for the first time in years, actually having a hot summer in the UK! Usually articles on keeping your dog cool are met with a sigh and "if only...", but this year I have stocked the freezer with ice cube trays of dog ice cream (evaporated milk heated with a little cornflour to thicken it, and beaten up with several ripe bananas that happened to need using up). For my toy dogs even half a cube is enough to make a cooling treat!

RUIDOSO, NM — The Little Bear wildfire continues to burn out of control in the Ruidoso area. The fire has destroyed an estimated 36 structures and forced the evacuation of hundreds of people and has burned more than 35,000 acres. The blaze remains at zero percent containment.
The weather cooperated with efforts today and the lines held well. The Forest Service says that there is still a lot of unburned fuel in the interior of the fire area and it is still a dangerous situation.
There are currently more than 600 personnel dedicated to fighting the fire. At a town meeting Sunday evening, Governor Susana Martinez announced that she had ordered an additional 100 National Guard troops to assist the 100 troops that had arrived Saturday night. Aircraft was grounded for most of the day on Sunday due to high winds. There was structure protection in place yesterday at Ski Apache and dozer lines were being extended to protect the area.
The evacuation of Rancho Ruidoso has been lifted and residents have been allowed back into their homes. Sunday evening, a precautionary evacuation notice was sent to residents of the Upper Canyon, Perk Canyon, Brady Canyon, Alpine Village, Grindstone, Black Forest and Ponderosa Heights. The evacuation was not mandatory and is meant to make sure residents are on alert in the event a mandatory evacuation is needed.
The following road closures are still in effect:
• State Highway 532
• Ski Run Road
• State Highway 48 to Capitan
• Highway 37 to Highway 380
NM 220 has been re-opened to Sierra Blanca Regional Airport.
Shelter Information:
The Red Cross has set-up a shelter for evacuated residents at the Ruidoso High School gym.
Public Meeting Information:
There will be a public meeting Monday evening at 7:00 PM at the Ruidoso High School gym.

Roundup: Gifts for the Holiday Party Host
Your holiday party host has expended a lot of effort getting everything ready, and it's only fair to thank him or her with a thoughtful and practical gift. You can always make one, but the time-crunched and sewing-challenged might prefer this range of options.
While personal preference varies, I myself like how the French do it: they pretty much always bring something for the host regardless of the size of the gathering. Flowers and wine are always good options, but there are many reasonably priced, useful alternatives. Most of the gift included here are between $10 and $20. Additionally, while a few suggestions are seasonal, nothing puts too heavy an emphasis on the "holiday" timing...because you want to give something that will be used more than one month of the year.
1. Lemons tea towel by Dear Colleen at To Dry For, £10 (about $15)
2. 3-pack of pocket calendars by Sandra Juto, $8 (You could spread these out to make a small, individual gift that could accompany a bottle of wine, et cetera.)
3. Set of 8 organic shea butter soaps by Lucia, $17.95
4. State cutting boards by AHeirloom, $40
5. Annual Vol. 4 Weekly Planner by Little Otsu, $18
6. Alyson Fox for Ink Dish mug gift set from Velocity Art and Design, $25 (for 2)
7. Ornament coasters by Rock Paper Scissors, $8.50 (for a set of 12)
8. Mermaid bottle opener from Fishs Eddy, $14.95 (She could be a good gift from the discerning bringer of a 6-pack.)
9. Soapstone whiskey rocks from Teroforma, $20 (for set of 9)
10. Lumiimarja paper napkins by Marimekko at FinnStyle, $5.95 (lunch size) or $9.50 (dinner size)
11. Sweater weather candles from Anthropologie, $18
12. Lumimarja oven mitt by Marimekko, $19
13. Lantern salt and pepper shakers by Jonathan Adler, $48
14. 2011 desk calendar by Snow & Graham, $16
15. Chevron 4"x6" picture frames at Burke Decor, $32
16. Flourish coasters by Thomas Paul, from Burke Decor, $16 (for a set of 4)
17. Ice Invaders tray by Fred and Friends, $6.44
18. Chicken timer by Pylones, $10
19. Beeswax pine cone candles by PeaceBlossomCandles, $10 (for a set of 4)
20. Donation of a flock of chicks through Heifer International, $20

Tasteful soaps or hand lotion always come in handy!
I think giving a charitable donation as a hostess gift would come across as very heavy handed and self-righteous. On a holiday, birthday, anniversary or any other present-giving occasion a donation is great. But as a hostess gift? And an example of a French tradition?
"Mon ami, merci beaucoup for hosting a lovely dinner party! Instead of giving you un petit seasonal bouquet, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you of all the poor people in the world and what a Good Person I am!"
Sorry, that's pure American earnest stupidity.
I love Dear Colleen products!
There has got to be a way for you to modify the layout of the page so that readers don't have to scroll up & down each time they want to compare a photo to it's caption. :/
Personally, I'd like to get a donation gift - but, only if I'd mentioned the charity/cause before (thoughtful thoughtfulness?)...or if it comes coupled with another present (selfish?). ;)
Personally I would find someone giving a donation as a gift to me as wrong. They should WANT to give a donation, not feel the need to for a present for someone else.
I also think "giving" someone a donation in their name is a strange thing. Who says I want a donation given to such-and-such charity in my name? Also, how do you present that to the "receiver"? It does come off as rather self-righteous, in my view.
But then, gift-giving is about thinking of the receiver - so I suppose it depends on the person!

NIKEiD Kobe 9 EM "Moonwalker" Option
July 21st, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 2 comments
The lunar sneakers continue: first it was the Kobe 9 "Michael Jackson", then it was the Nike Air Max Lunar90 "Moon Landing", and now it's this special graphic option showing up on NIKEiD. The approach lets you slap a graphic upper onto the Kobe 9 that actually looks more starry than surface-of-the-moon like if you ask us. This option was revealed a couple days back through a little glitch in the NIKEiD system, but the good news is that as of now you can actually check out with the style in your cart. See some NIKEiD Kobe 9 EM "Moonwalker" option examples below and find your pair at NIKEiD now.

It was morning, high and clear as Arizona counts weather, and around the little railroad station were gathered a crowd of curious onlookers; seven Indians, three women from nearby shacks\u2014drawn thither by the sight of the great private car that the night express had left on a side track\ue000the usual number of loungers, a swarm of children, besides the station agent who had come out to watch proceedings.
All the morning the private car had been an object of deep interest to those who lived within sight, and that
was everybody on the plateau; and many and various had been the errands and excuses to go to the station that
perchance the occupants of that car might be seen, or a glimpse of the interior of the moving palace; but the
silken curtains had remained drawn until after nine o'clock.
Within the last half hour, however, a change had taken place in the silent inscrutable car. The curtains had
parted here[10] and there, revealing dim flitting faces, a table spread with a snowy cloth and flowers in a vase,
wild flowers they were, too, like those that grew all along the track, just weeds. Strange that one who could
afford a private car cared for weeds in a glass on their dining-table, but then perhaps they didn't know.
"Be my little baby Bumble-bee\ue001
Buzz around, buzz around\ue002\ue003"
He seemed in no wise affected or embarrassed by the natives who gradually encircled the end of the car, and
the audience grew.
They could dimly see the table where the inmates of the car were\ue004dining?\ue005it couldn't be breakfast at that
hour surely. They heard the discussion about horses going on amid laughter and merry conversation, and they
gathered that the car was to remain here for the day at least while some of the party went off on a horseback
trip. It was nothing very unusual of course. Such things occasionally occurred in that region, but not often
enough to lose their interest. Besides, to watch the[11] tourists who chanced to stop in their tiny settlement
was the only way for them to learn the fashions.
and back, going always on one side of the car and returning by way of the other. Even the station agent felt the importance of the occasion, and stood around with all the self-consciousness of an usher at a grand wedding, considering himself master of ceremonies.
"Sure! They come from the East last night. Limited dropped 'em! Going down to prospect some mine, I
reckon. They ordered horses an' a outfit, and Shag Bunce is goin' with 'em. He got a letter 'bout a week ago
tellin' what they wanted of him. Yes, I knowed all about it. He brung the letter to me to cipher out fer him.
You know Shag ain't no great at readin' ef he is the best judge of a mine anywheres about."
At eleven o'clock the horses arrived, four[12] besides Shag's, and the rest of the outfit. The onlookers regarded Shag with the mournful interest due to the undertaker at a funeral. Shag felt it and acted accordingly. He gave short, gruff orders to his men; called attention to straps and buckles that every one knew were in as perfect order as they could be; criticized the horses and his men; and every one, even the horses, bore it with perfect composure. They were all showing off and felt the importance of the moment.
Presently the car door opened and Mr. Radcliffe came out on the platform accompanied by his son\ue006a
handsome reckless looking fellow\ue007his daughter Hazel, and Mr. Hamar, a thick-set, heavy-featured man with
dark hair, jaunty black moustache and handsome black eyes. In the background stood an erect elderly woman
in tailor-made attire and with a severe expression, Mr. Radcliffe's elder sister who was taking the trip with
them expecting to remain in California with her son; and behind her hovered Hazel's maid. These two were
not to be of the riding party, it appeared.
There was a pleasant stir while the horses were brought forward and the riders were mounting. The spectators
remained breath[13]lessly unconscious of anything save the scene being enacted before them. Their eyes
lingered with special interest on the girl of the party.
Miss Radcliffe was small and graceful, with a head set on her pretty shoulders like a flower on its stem.
Moreover she was fair, so fair that she almost dazzled the eyes of the men and women accustomed to brown
cheeks kissed by the sun and wind of the plain. There was a wild-rose pink in her cheeks to enhance the
whiteness, which made it but the more dazzling. She had masses of golden hair wreathed round her dainty
head in a bewilderment of waves and braids. She had great dark eyes of blue set off by long curling lashes,
and delicately pencilled dark brows which gave the eyes a pansy softness and made you feel when she looked
at you that she meant a great deal more by the look than you had at first suspected. They were wonderful,
beautiful eyes, and the little company of idlers at the station were promptly bewitched by them. Moreover
there was a fantastic little dimple in her right cheek that flashed into view at the same time with the gleam of
pearly teeth when she smiled. She certainly was a picture. The station looked its fill and rejoiced in her young
She was garbed in a dark green riding habit, the same that she wore when she rode attended by her groom in
Central Park. It made a sensation among the onlookers, as did the little riding cap of dark green velvet and the
pretty riding gloves. She sat her pony well, daintily, as though she had alighted briefly, but to their eyes
strangely, and not as the women out there rode. On the whole the station saw little else but the girl; all the
others were mere accessories to the picture.
They noticed indeed that the young man, whose close cropped golden curls, and dark lashed blue eyes were so like the girl's that he could be none other than her brother, rode beside the older man who was presumably the father; and that the dark, handsome stranger rode away beside the girl. Not a man of them but resented it. Not a woman of them but regretted it.

News and Events Details
Eleven University of Wisconsin-Superior students are acquiring real-world experience to educate and prevent bullying at the Superior Middle School Library. Professor Kirsten Lindquist, from the Writing and Library Science Department, partnered this Academic Service-Learning project with the Superior Middle School for her Library Science 310: Young Adult Literature course.
According to recent statistics on bullying, at least 5.7 million children are directly involved in bullying every year - either as bullies or as victims.
UW-Superior students are asked to identify and discuss issues and trends relevant to young adults and young adult literature including: diversity, gender, disabilities, censorship, and resistant readers. Students will be completing five projects with the middle school students. Thus far, the UW-Superior students have interviewed the middle schoolers on their reading habits, gave a presentation on bullying, and presented 'booktalks.' They will next lead a discussion on a book that focuses on bullying and then create a book trailer.
Every half an hour, 1 child attempts suicide as a result of being bullied, which
means that the number of children attempting suicide as a result of being
bullied is 19,000 children every year.
Casja Soul, a business major from Phillips, WI, described how this academic service-learning experience will give her skills to help her future career; it opened her eyes to which books might be hits and which might not be as successful when planning to purchase books for a library. It has allowed her to better understand the middle schoolers' thought processes.
The academic service-learning project will help the UW-Superior students to use course materials in a realistic manner; Lindquist described how this will build a broader appreciation of young adult literature and heighten their sense of civic responsibility. While getting this real world experience, UW-Superior students can also use the assignments and projects Lindquist developed with their future classrooms and libraries.
Around 75% of American children are victims of various forms of bullying, including cyber-bullying at some point during schooling.
Krysti Gall, an elementary education major from Duluth, MN, said that while she can learn basic facts and theories in other classes, the real-world experience of going into a classroom and teaching young children has long-term benefits for her career. Gall described how through her experience with the Superior Middle School Library, her eyes were opened to the differing opinions young kids can have towards learning. This knowledge is applicable for her future because, as an aspiring teacher, she knows she will have to communicate on her student's levels. Additionally, she felt it is easier to see and understand why kids read books and what they like; this knowledge is then applied to her UW-Superior assignments.
1 out of 4 teens are bullied.
"I was bullied when I was younger," said Gall, "bullying is not fair to kids. They cannot control what they look like or what they are interested in." People do not realize the effect they can have on others; it can lead to suicide,Gall described. While giving presentations on bullying, Gall said, the young children were able to open up and share about their experiences with bullying.
Soul revealed that she didn't realize she was bullied when she was younger till she participated in this course. This past connection allows her to connect to the middle schoolers and reflect on her future career aspirations at a library.
"Today, bullying is a big problem in schools. Young adult literature helps kids open up about their own experiences through reading books, talking and relating to characters, and realizing they are not the only ones," said Lindquist. She wants to help the middle school students engage in meaningful dialogue about bullying through young adult literature. Bullying, said Lindquist, is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed and stopped before it is too late for kids.
Statistic Sites:
Academic Service-Learning is an innovative teaching and learning strategy that provides students with opportunities to deepen their knowledge and learn new skills by matching academic goals to the needs of community organizations. Students apply concepts and skills they learn in the classroom and give that knowledge back to the community. In return, they gain practical experience while serving others.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A woman is recovering after police say an ex-boyfriend attacked her with a make-shift club outside her home.
When police arrived at the home on Carolina Cove Drive Tuesday night, what they found was a "bloody crime scene."
The female victim was inside the home and bleeding heavily from her head.
According to the report, the woman was returning home after walking her dogs when an ex-boyfriend leaped from behind a column and began to strike her with a hard object.
The victim ran up the steps to call 911 because she could not fight off her alleged attacker, and says he ran away toward his home just down the street.
A witness told police they saw the suspect, 52-year-old Lennett Nathaniel Carter, sneaking around the side of the building the victim lived in, and he ran past her without speaking, which she noted was unusual.
The victim was transported to the hospital for treatment, as officers on scene searched for Carter.
The report states they found him in his apartment building wearing only undergarments, and they clothes the victim described him wearing were tossed on the bed. When they searched his apartment they found half of a pool stick, which appeared it had been "cut down and taped off to form a club-like device."
Carter was taken into custody and charged with criminal domestic violence high and aggravated. After police discovered he had been reportedly harassing the victim, he was also charged with unlawful communication.
The current condition of the victim is unknown.

Is Mayberry evolving into everyday player for Phillies?
It's no secret. Charlie Manuel likes to go with the hot hand. The Phillies manager talks about it and he proves it when writing out his lineup card. It was no surprise that John Mayberry Jr. has been seeing his name pop up almost every day.
Mayberry single-handedly beat the Marlins last Tuesday by tying the game in the ninth with a pinch-hit home run. Mayberry followed by drilling a walk-off grand slam, the first for the Phillies.
"The second one, I was trying to be aggressive within a certain zone and put a good swing on it," he said.
Manuel likes to talk about how Jayson Werth went from part-time player to a starting outfielder.
Even after a disappointing 2012 season when the starting job was his to lose, Manuel never closed the door on Mayberry.
"If Charlie were to stick with John Mayberry night after night, I really believe he could become a starter and a very good one," MLB analyst Mitch Williams said. "Just give the guy a chance."

Item # ESI0001
This model is no longer in stock.
ESI Grips Racers Edge Mountain Bike Grip $0.00
Hang on tight, you're about to get down and dirty.
Professional racers are very meticulous about their equipment selection. They compulsively seek out the ways to shave a few extra grams from their bikes, but also understand the importance of comfort and durability. Some places they are willing to compromise comfort for weight savings and others not. When items like the ESI Racer's Edge grip consistently adorns the bikes of pros, especially those that are unsponsored, it speaks volumes of the product's merit.
ESI grips have swept the Elite Cross County ranks with force. The 100% Silicone grips are substantially lighter than your standard rubber grip, do not slip, and offer much better comfort and shock absorption than foam or bar tape! The grips are UV resistant so the bold colors will not fade or harden with time.
The ESI Racer's Edge grip is the thinner of the two. It saves around 10 grams from the ESI Chunky grip for the weight obsessed and a good choice for those who prefer the feel of thin grips. The Racer's Edge weighs in at 48g. Installed, the grips measure 5-1/8" in length and 30mm in diameter. ESI grips include bar end plugs. We recommend using rubbing alcohol and/or compressed air for installation and removal.

Kinda tricky to install properly, but do hold there position well, even when wet. Not sure how the grip is in the wet, but I have a feeling they may not be great based on the wet install they seemed very slippery. Felt good; I like a thin grip.
They make removing slide-on shifters or brakes very difficult since they have to be slipped back off the bars and reinstalled wet and allowed to dry for 24 hours(maybe really more like 6hrs).
The worst part by far is Durability. I bought two sets one for the AM bike and one for the DH bike a month ago. They both have chunks missing out of them. One from the most benign slow speed crashes ever and the other sliced open from a trail side brush. Plus the end cap broke off on the DH bike. Now I get to pry that out of the bar end.
Great idea but leaves a lot to be desired. Regular lock-on grips may seem excessive to some but the functionality and durability pay off quickly.

do the white grips get really dirty and if they do are they easy to clean ?
Best grip out there
Mitchell Peterson
Member since
These grips are awesome. They are very light and comfortable. If you use some hair spray or clear spray paint to put them on they will never slip. Just grip it and rip it!!
Member since
Windex or alchohol works really well too. Just spray inside the grip and soak the bar end, let dry and you're set.

Don't boycott us. We're not that Florida.
We're Flor-i-da. With a subtle Spanish caress of the tongue across the last two syllables. Don't boycott us.
We are not Flahhhhda, huffed out like a smoker's cough, a hint of tobacco juice dribbling down the chin. That's the place to boycott. Lower Alabama. Greater Georgia. Land of the creepy ass crackers.
Yet those calling for a national boycott of Florida have failed to make that crucial geographical and cultural distinction. They're threatening to punish us for the Zimmerman verdict, blaming the state's Stand Your Ground statute. Last week, MoveOn.org launched an online petition, calling for a Florida tourism boycott until SYG is repealed. "Your state is not a safe place to vacation if your citizens are able to kill anyone they deem suspicious," the petition proffers.
Martin Luther King III told the NAACP convention in Orlando: "We may have to look at not consuming Florida orange juice." Of course, the Florida Department of Agriculture pretty well wiped out south Florida's oranges on its great citrus canker vendetta over a decade ago. Lately, our orange juice concerns hinge mostly on the profitable flow of screwdrivers and mimosas on South Beach.
Stevie Wonder told an audience in Quebec City last week that Florida was no longer the sunshine state of his life and that he would not play another concert hereabouts until we repealed Stand Your Ground.
A California assemblyman from Pasadena and the fire chief from Englewood, N.J., joined the fray last week, saying tourists should stay away until we get rid of the NRA-crafted self-defense law.
They think of the glitz of South Beach and Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale and Wynwood and Key West and Coral Gables and Boca Raton and imagine, somehow, that we might wield some influence on that congregation of wild-eyed yeehaw reactionaries in Tallahassee. They should study Florida's much gerrymandered map. The location of the capital is not mere geography but a state of mind. Among legislators up that way, their only positive regard for sinful South Florida has to do with the disproportionate amount of revenue they can suck out of this region to fund their local projects. Otherwise, they loathe us as an Obama-voting aberration, a disgrace to the old Confederacy. The notion that a national tourism boycott might hurt Miami-Dade or Broward or Palm Beach counties — regarded by the good ol' boys who run this state as a cesspool of foreigners, gays, Jews, Yankees, strange accents, tiny bikinis and liberal inclinations — will only bring joy to their creepy cracker hearts. Those folks abandoned South Florida, most of them, a generation ago. Folded up their Confederate flags, oiled their assault weapons, renewed their NRA membership and skedaddled.
Aside from the geographic misconceptions, the Stand-Your-Ground Florida boycott raises a few technical quibbles. Some 25 other states have similarly kowtowed to the NRA and adopted variations of the Stand Your Ground law. And while the Florida version is inarguably stupid, as if it had been crafted by a first-year law student on a three-day bender, its application hasn't been particularly racial. A Tampa Bay Times study of some 200 Stand Your Ground defenses found that 66 percent of the black defendants who evoked the self-defense statute went free, while 61 percent of white defendants who claimed Stand Your Ground immunities saw their charges dropped.
The Times found that in mixed-race confrontations, four of the five blacks who killed a white person were freed after invoking Stand Your Ground, while five of six whites who killed a black person were freed through SYG.
There are plenty of reasons to disparage Florida's Stand Your Ground, but mostly because the law allows killers with imaginative defense lawyers to find ever more creative applications to get out of jail. It ought to be renamed the Gangbanger Defense Act. Anyway, George Zimmerman's exoneration, the object of this national burst of anger, was only tangentially related to Stand Your Ground. This was just as much about a weak case made weaker by the prosecution's own key witnesses.
Besides, the teenager who was wrongly profiled and stalked and killed that night by George Zimmerman was from Miami-Dade County. He was one of our kids, shot up there, in that other Florida.
Boycott that place. It's not us.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most pleasurable. This recipe is a perfect example.
Three ingredients. Haricots verts (French green beans), potatoes and lemon zest make a side dish that is not only versatile, but utterly delicious — every mouthful satisfying both the taste buds and the soul, enticing you to come back for more.
I must admit this is a recipe I prepare all year long (the ingredients are readily available in any supermarket in any season). But it's never better than in summer when the haricots verts are snappy and skinny, and the potatoes freshly dug up.
Three steps. Boiling the potatoes, blanching the beans and sautéing both with the lemon zest. As with any recipe that relies on a few ingredients, freshness is paramount — and cooking technique is crucial! The beans must be blanched until barely tender and the potatoes sautéed until perfectly golden-brown. Enjoy!
Sautéed Haricots Verts with Baby Red Potatoes and Lemon Zest
serves 4
active time: 25 min
- 1 1/4 lbs (567gr) baby red potatoes – unpeeled and left whole
- 1 tablespoon sea salt for the blanching water
- 8 oz (227gr) haricots verts or green beans – stem ends trimmed and cut in half
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- zest of half a lemon – peel zest with vegetable hand-peeler and cut in 1/8" julienne strips
- 3/4 to 1 teaspoon sea salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Step 1: Fill a medium heavy-bottomed soup pot with cold water, add the potatoes and bring to a boil at medium-high heat. Fast simmer, uncovered for 10 to 14 minutes depending on their size. The potatoes should be tender but still firm. Strain in a colander and run cold water from the tap over the potatoes until they have cooled. Cut the potatoes in 1/2" edges and set aside until ready to use.
- Step 2: Fill a large bowl with cold water and several ice cubes.
- Step 3: Fill a large heavy-bottomed soup pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the salt and blanch the haricots verts for 3 to 4 minutes (depending on their size) until tender, but still crunchy. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water bath until cool. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Step 4: Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the butter and olive oil. As soon as the butter is melted, add the potato slices and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Toss the potatoes and continue sautéing for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until golden. If needed repeat the process until the potatoes are golden brown on all sides. Add the lemon zest, toss well and sauté for an additional 1 minute until lemon is crispy and golden. Add the haricots verts. Toss well until the beans are warmed through, about 1 minute. Add the salt and pepper, toss again and remove from heat. Serve as a side dish.
