MIND MELD: The SF/F Characters We Most Want to Share a Drink With
"Let me buy you a pint, Elric…"
This week, we posed the following to our panelists:
A science fiction blog featuring science fiction book reviews and with frequent ramblings on fantasy, computers and the web.
"Let me buy you a pint, Elric…"
This week, we posed the following to our panelists:
Hey all! I'm wearing two hats at the moment — one as the co-creator/editor of Kaiju Rising: Age of Monsters from Ragnarok Publications and one as SF Signal contributor. As co-creator/editor of Kaiju Rising: Age of Monsters I'm proud to announce that the anthology is now available on the Amazon Kindle store for immediate purchase! As an SF Signal contributor I have to stress how awesome this book is — you really need to read it! For just $4.99 you can get 25 thrilling stories, accompanied by 25 awesome pieces of interior art. By funding the project through Kickstarter (achieving 185% of our initial goal) Ragnarok Publications was able to assemble a one-of-a-kind anthology featuring authors such as Peter Clines (Ex-Heroes), Larry Correia (Monster Hunter International), James Lovegrove (Age of Zeus), Gini Koch as J.C. Koch (Touched by an Alien) and more. The interior art was provided by the superb Robert Elrod and the imaginative Chuck Lukacs. To top it all off comes a tie-in story with Colossal Kaiju Combat from Sunstone Games, written by New York Times bestselling author James Swallow. All this comes wrapped in a beautiful cover provided by the legendary Bob Eggleton. That's a lot of awesome for just $4.99 but if you're not yet convinced here's an exclusive excerpt from "The Banner of the Bent Cross" by Peter Clines…

This week we asked our participants about 2013 genre movies:
Here's what they had to say:
Although I was so bored I nearly fell asleep in the previous Star Trek movie, I'll probably see Star Trek 2, which I'd normally skip, simply because Benedict Cumberbatch is in it. He's among the actors for whom I'll try watching a film I'd otherwise skip. (The list also includes Shah Rukh Khan, Alan Rickman, Kajol, Meryl Streep, Laura Linney, Aamir Khan, Sean Bean, Colin Firth, Tilda Swinton, etc.) He could make the film watchable, so I'm willing to try.
Otherwise, I don't plan to see any sf/f feature films in 2013, simply because, in general, I avoid Hollywood sf/f movies like the plague. The majority of them focus on two things that don't interest me at all: special effects and action porn. ("Action porn" is director Nicholas Meyer's phrase for a movie that exists to convey a lot of action scenes, rather than a movie in which action scenes help tell a story.) Since I'm not a fan of either of those things, Hollywood sf/f movies tend to be boring for me. (See above: nearly fell asleep watching Star Trek.)
However, I do look forward to watching Season 2 of Game Of Thrones on Netflix (I don't have HBO). I really enjoyed the characters and story in S1 (compelling characters and interesting story being high on the list of things that I -am- a fan of), and the S2 DVDs are in my queue. A GoT marathon will be my treat to myself after I deliver my next book!

David Annandale's horror novel, Gethsemane Hall, was released in 2012 by Dundurn Press and (in the UK) by Snowbooks. He is also the author of Crown Fire, Kornukopia and The Valedictorians, thrillers featuring rogue warrior Jen Blaylock, and he writes Warhammer 40,000 fiction for the Black Library. His Space Marine Battles novel, The Death of Antagonis, comes out in February 2013. He teaches film, literature, video games and creative writing at the University of Manitoba. Follow David at his website, www.davidannandale.com, and on Twitter as @David_Annandale.
We all know the easy distinctions that people tend to make, when reaching for the quick-and-dirty, between science fiction, fantasy and horror. The latter two deploy the supernatural and the impossible. The former makes use of, if not the possible, at least the plausible. Put another way, science fiction is the literature (and cinema) of the rational, while fantasy and horror are the art of the irrational.
But I am more than a tad guilty of setting up a straw man here, for it is just as true that we all know the exceptions and the complexities that render this distinction dubious at best. For example, in Danse Macabre, Stephen King writes that "Alien…is a horror movie even though it is more firmly grounded in scientific projection than Star Wars." Now, this is true, but it is also guilty of some of the same kind of error as the initial assertion. The problem is this: to claim Alien as either science fiction or horror is a mistake. It is both. The two forms are not incompatible, and this is the point I want to make about the easy distinction in the previous paragraph: not that there are so many exceptions as to make this distinction untenable, but rather that we should be careful about how and whether we make the distinction at all, at least as far as the standing of horror is concerned. We are not dealing with overlapping genres, because, as I have stated elsewhere (most recently in the Urban Fantasy Mind Meld), horror is not a genre. It can make use of the conventions of any number of actual genres, including science fiction, and we recognize it, I would argue, when we confront a work whose primary purpose is to cause fear in its audience.

[Do you have an idea for a future Mind Meld? Let us know!]
This week, just in time for Halloween, we asked our distinguished panelists about Gothic and Urban Fantasy…
The theme of this year's World Fantasy Convention is "Northern Gothic and Urban Fantasy". The thesis is that Urban Fantasy represents the new Gothic; castles and haunted locations have been replaced by the Modern City.
This is what they had to say…
I suppose if you go back far enough, this is a valid theory. It doesn't, however, happen to be mine. Probably because I'm not literate enough. I'm not sure I've read a single book that Michael Ashley or John Clute references in their essays.

REVIEW SUMMARY: Another batch of short stories from the Black Library, ranging from mediocre to fantastic.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: A collection of short stories focused on the dastardly deeds of the Chaos Space Marines, with contributions from promising new talent.
PROS: Sarah Cawkwell and Andy Smillie's short stories are the best to be found in this anthology.
CONS: "Throne of Lies" by Aaron Dembski-Bowden is largely pointless and "The Long War" by Andy Hoare lacks purpose.
BOTTOM LINE: Treacheries of the Space Marines is a mixed bag but worth paperback price for sure.
The Black Library has a surplus of talent at the moment. There is of course the old guard, names like Abnett, McNeill, Counter, Swallow, and King that have put Warhammer 40,000 fiction on the map. Then there is a new crop of skillful authors that are just now testing the waters. I have high hopes for these writers, names like Dembski-Bowden, Cawkwell, Smillie, French, Zou, and Sanders. The Black Library needs such new perspective if it is to remain fresh and appealing. I'm happy to say that there is little risk of the Black Library stagnating and Treacheries of the Space Marines is proof.

It looks like some Muslims might not be singing along at Lady Gaga's June concert in Indonesia.
The mega pop star was given a thumbs-down earlier this week by a "high-ranking member" of the country's highest Islamic authority, according to The Jakarta Globe.
The report states that Indonesian Council of Ulema chairman Cholil Ridwan is urging Muslims not to attend the overtly sexy and controversial singer's upcoming concert in Jakarta.
Though he says he has never seen her perform, he has reportedly urged people to return their tickets.
"[The concert is] intended to destroy the nation's morality," Ridwan told The Jakarta Globe.
Ridwan is concerned that the singer's revealing outfits and sexy dance moves set a bad example for Muslim youth.
"I am sure they know what is good and bad," said Ridwan. "However, I hope Lady Gaga can also wear a proper [dress] in her show," he said while admitting that it was still, ultimately, fans call.
"She is from the West, and she often shows her aurat [private parts of the body] when performing," he said, calling it "haram," an Arabic term that means "forbidden by Islamic law."
But it appears many Indonesians aren't following suit: More than 25,000 tickets to her Jakarta show were reportedly sold (in less than two hours) on March 10, when tickets first became available.

Jill Abramson Comes Out Swinging via The New York Post
That is not a typo, dear industry cronies. The jilted, former executive editor of The New York Times is still making headlines. Except, as you can see, she did it for the competition. Kinda.
Yes, the New York Post's snark comes to the rescue again with this play on words. (And for those who don't know, The Times is known as 'The Old Grey Lady.' See there? Jokey jokes.)
News is now that Abramson was let go because of her refusal to back down from pay inequality. The Times has a different story. And while the national media is having a feeding frenzy on this issue, the story in the Post is that Abramson is a "badass" with a tattoo hailing her allegiance at the paper she once led.
Because that's news.

Bucket List Item Complete: Paragliding in Interlaken!/
The other weekend we drove a mere two hours down to the Swiss border and then another hour(ish) to reach Interlaken, our destination. I've lived in southern Germany for almost three years and had yet to drive to Switzerland. Why? Because I figured Austria has plenty of beautiful alps and lakes and is probably less touristy and much cheaper than Switzerland. To be honest, cost was really the bigger hindrance for me. I like a good deal, and the country of Switzerland is not in a business to provide deals to tourists. Switzerland also uses the Swiss Franc, and while generally the exchange rate is 1 to 1, the actual numbers to purchase things are much higher (as in a Starbuck's coffee will cost you 8-10 Swiss Francs, depending on what you order).Read More

Rock music provocateur Lou Reed passed away this week at age 71. Best known for his work with the proto-punk band The Velvet Underground, Reed supplied tough, gritty lyrics while John Cale offered up a dissonant musical journey unlike any heard at the time. Reed and Cale went on to make some transcendent solo albums as well, but my favorite collaboration of theirs will always be Songs For Drella.
Ah, the wacky uncle. He is an institution as old as the concept of family itself. Many can claim to have one, but few can say that his uncle is one of the most important artists of the 20th century. That's where Uncle Andy's, by James Warhola, figures in.
Before Warhol was a painter, a filmmaker, and a celebrity, he was Andrew Warhola. After college, he shortened his name and left his home in Pittsburgh to start an art career in Manhattan. But back in Steel City was Andy's older brother Paul, who worked in a junkyard and was father to seven children, one of whom was our author/illustrator James. Paul used a lot of the trash he found to make sculptures, and if he found something particularly unusual, he would bring it to Andy.
Tom Bissell's Magic Hours: Essays on Creators and Creations represents the best of what an essay collection can offer: incisive observations about a wide range of intriguing topics, intelligent social commentary that refrains from didacticism, and a good sense of comedic timing. Bissell's essays are characterized by impressive eclecticism. He discusses established cultural figures like Ernest Hemingway, David Foster Wallace, and Werner Herzog, as well as less conventional subjects, such as Tommy Wiseau (the auteur responsible for the cult film The Room), the Underground Literary Alliance, and Jennifer Hale, "the Queen of Video-game Voice-over." While these topics might seem incurably disparate, Bissell's interest in the process and consequences of creation provides a framework which links them together.
Baby's in Black drops you into a smoke-filled club in Hamburg. Despite the German locale, the band on stage is wailing in English about doing the "hippy hippy shake". Everyone's moving except for the bassist, who looks cooler than James Dean.
The band has been playing for hours, and they will continue for several hours more, as per their contract. They pop pills to stay awake for that long. The group is the Beatles. The year is 1960. The bassist is Stu Sutcliffe.
Jeremy Draws a Monster never gets too scary. The beast in question has some horns and is a bit of a snaggletooth, but his eyes are too tiny to be that threatening. Still, this monster is this one rude dude. Jeremy seemed to just want a friend to play with. He stays inside while other children play soccer. So he takes a fancy pen and draws this creature creation.
Part graphic memoir, part travelogue, A Year in Japan offers a unique perspective on everyday life in Japan. In this charming, whimsical book, Kate T. Williamson adopts a counterintuitive approach to travel writing. Rather than striving to represent the grand, monumental aspects of Japanese culture and history, Williamson focuses on capturing the minutiae--fragmented memories, experiences, and revelations that emerged during the year she spent living in Kyoto. As a Westerner, Williamson has an outsider's perspective on Japan. But because she had the opportunity to live there and become enmeshed in another way of life, Williamson was able to glean insights and perspectives that would be invisible to your run-of-the-mill tourist. Williamson's artistic talent also helps concretize her observations, creating an enchanting combination of vivid, unexpected descriptions and beautifully rendered watercolor illustrations.
"The art of portraiture approached its apex during the sixteenth century in Europe with the discovery of oil painting when the old masters developed and refined techniques that remain unsurpassed to this day. The ascendance of nonrepresentational art in the middle of the twentieth century displaced these venerable skills, especially in academic art circles. Fortunately for aspiring artists today who wish to learn the methods that allowed the Old Masters to achieve the luminous color and subtle tonalities so characteristic of their work, this knowledge has been preserved in hundreds of small traditional painting ateliers that persevered in the old ways in this country and throughout the world. Coming out of this dedicated movement, Portrait Painting Atelier is an essential resource for an art community still recovering from a time when solid instruction in art technique was unavailable in our schools.
"Of particular value here is a demonstration of the Old Masters' technique of layering paint over a toned-ground surface, a process that builds from the transparent dark areas to the more densely painted lights. This method unifies the entire painting, creating a beautiful glow that illuminates skin tones and softly blends all the color tones. Readers will also find valuable instruction in paint mediums from classic oil-based to alkyd-based, the interactive principles of composition and photograph-based composition and photograph-based composition, and the anatomy of the human face and the key relationships among its features."
"A comprehensive guide to oil painting practice and technique, this reference offers an informative A-to-Z section of valuable skills such as how to build up a painting and how to make brushwork describe forms and textures--as well as a wealth of stimulating ideas for the canvas, including combining oil paints with other media, mixing paint with sand and sawdust, and applying it with such tools as knives, rags, or even the fingers. The second half of the book shows all the techniques in context. Illustrated with a gallery of paintings by well-known artists and full of detailed, step-by-step demonstrations, the guide shows how each artist applies knowledge of oil painting techniques to the interpretation of a subject, whether landscape, portrait, or still life."
"Oil painting doesn't have to be difficult! This is a no-fear, no-experience-required guide to enjoyable painting and happy results, from first strokes to finished paintings. The DVD workshop features the author creating two paintings from start to finish."

Cortland Car Dealer Arrested for Sales Tax Fraud
Saturday, October 13, 2012
The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Commissioner Thomas Mattox yesterday announced the arrest of a Cortland County car dealership owner for sales tax fraud that amounted to more than $180,000.
Joseph Fezza, 45, the owner and sole proprietor of JF Auto World, also known as Auto World, located at 991 Tompkins Street, in the Town of Cortlandville, faces five felony charges. They stem from his collection and retention of sales taxes on vehicles he sold over a period of more than five years, and his failure to file sales tax and personal income tax returns.
The charges are one count of grand larceny in the second degree, a class C felony; two counts of criminal tax fraud in the third degree, a class D felony; and two counts of repeated failure to file personal income tax returns, a class E felony.
Fezza was arraigned on these charges by Cortland City Court Judge Thomas A. Meldrim and entered a plea of not guilty to all charges. He was released upon posting bail. If convicted, the defendant faces a maximum sentence of five to fifteen years in prison.
A joint investigation conducted by the Tax Department and the Attorney General's Office found that Fezza collected but failed to remit to New York State more than $180,000 in sales taxes from March, 2004, through September, 2009. He also failed to file sales tax returns since July 2004, and failed to file personal income tax returns since 1998.

text: The golden rules of child rearing are explored in this poignant, touching, and honest true to life story. Upon the birth of the first of his four sons the author reexamines his life and through the retelling illustrates the true path, although not the easiest one to take, which assures a parent's victory as "my little fellow's dad". On a chapter-to-chapter basis we see the author deal with subjects such as: protecting the children, the necessity of baby sitters, the need to deal with lying head on, discipline and so forth. With each issue we are given an intimate understanding of why he feels strongly about these issues and of how they've played a part in his and his children's youths.

$7.5 million ready for homebuyers in advance of federal tax credit
Are you one of thousands of Texans eager to take advantage of the new federal homebuyer tax credit but don't have the cash for a down payment? If so, TDHCA may have the answer to your problem.

5. Keylogging malware
Where systems have been infected with keylogging malware such as Zeus (also known as Zbot or wsnpoem), additional safeguards are necessary in order to reduce the potential for attackers to abuse any credentials that they may have gathered. We have seen many examples of University accounts being abused, sometimes over a period of many months, and must take reasonable measures to prevent this occuring.
- All Oxford University passwords that have been entered on a system that has suffered a keylogger attack must be changed.
- OxCERT will request the usernames of people who have or are likely to have used the attacked machine within 30 days so that those details can be used to trace other incidents.
- Remote Access accounts will have their password randomized so that once an account is unblocked the user can set a new password using online self-registration.
- As with any such attack it is extremely likely that other passwords, including including those for other services within the University, online banking etc., will have been disclosed. Please make sure affected users are aware of and understand the guidance at http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/security/keyloggers.xml
In cases of infections on managed systems, logs should be available to determine recent users of a system. For personally-owned systems then the only way to determine who else may have used it will likely be to ask the machine's owner. In general it will not be possible to determine how long ago a system was compromised. A compromise may have occurred considerable time before OxCERT detected it; this is particularly likely with systems which are used on multiple networks. Alternatively OxCERT may have only detected one of several several malware items on the system. In the absence of other information, we consider thirty days a reasonable period, for which logs (or the user's memory!) may reasonably be expected to be available.
Ultimately users have to be responsible for the security of their own passwords and other private data. Nevertheless it is important to ensure that they understand the reasons for taking action and the possible implications of not doing so, and we encourage ITSS to assist with this.
While we shouldn't ignore users' security on external systems such as online banking or Google Mail, our chief concern is with that of the University network and hence it is important to ensure that passwords for any system on the University network are changed. Users may have passwords for their own computer, central OUCS systems, systems both in college and within their department, and potentially other parts of the University such as Libraries or BSP.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers, there was news leaking that starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may be dealing with a serious finger injury, which he sustained during the Steelers loss the Vikings in London.
Thankfully for Big Ben and Steeler faithful, that isn't the case as it's being reported that the finger injury isn't serious.
Per ESPN:
"I'm thinking just try to do anything you can to get rid of the ball, throw it away, do something, and I couldn't manage to get it out," Roethlisberger said. "I'm holding it out like a loaf of bread because I'm trying not to just take it to the ground. They got it out late. Even if I'd held on to it, I don't know if we would have had enough time."
Roethlisberger hurt the index finger on his throwing hand (his right hand) while completing a 15-yard TD pass to Jerricho Cotchery in the fourth quarter. He had the finger taped after the game but said it wasn't serious.
The Steelers, en route back to the States will have a bye this coming week which should give Roethlisberger plenty of time to rest and recover.

I met Annie in collage 10 years ago when we both took up photography as one of our subjects, unfortunately I didn't continue with it (one of my lifes regrets) and decided to go and work and party in Tenerife instead. Antonia on the other hand has just graduated with a 1st in her book and I think her work is amazing.

Need a Party Dessert? Try a Whoopie Pie!
We're entering wedding season in the next few months and we've been browsing through wedding blogs and magazines. One of the most frequently served desserts recently is Whoopie Pies. We think they're adorable, easily adapted to different palettes, and small enough to serve to crowds.
When our special day comes, we plan on making a lot of the food ourselves. We pride ourselves on being a great home cook and think we could spend what is typically a costly catering budget in other areas. Since we live in Philadelphia — it would only be tradition for us to serve Whoopie Pies at our wedding, Pennsylvania has an entire festival dedicated to the delectable treat.
We recently came across the Wilton Whoopie Pie Pan and immediately bookmarked it. The nonstick pan has enough slots to make tops and bottoms for six pies. It also comes with a ten year warranty — should anything happen to it!
We're thinking of buying several so that we aren't only baking six at a time (especially if we use these for a wedding, we'd be baking for weeks!). They're also reasonably priced at $12.95 from Sur la Table.
Would you serve Whoopie Pies at your wedding or special event?

how about a recipe, yo?
Um yeah.. I don't even know what a whoopie pie *is*.. but they look yummy!
you don't need a special whoopie pie pan...save your money and just get some extra cookie/baking sheets at Marshall's or TJ Maxx! the consistency of the batter lends itself to baking up into wonderful little round cakelettes. also, good call on making whoopie pies for a wedding. super cute, cheap(er), and you can do ANY kind of cake flavor imaginable!
recipe PLEASE
I agree with lissac2412! No special pans required for whoopie pies. The batter is made to bake up just so. An ice cream scoop is about the only other tool you might want to make all the cakelets the same size.
Um, you mean "palates." Just sayin'
Not recipe....recipeS.
This post got me excited for a couple variations of them I could make this weekend. :(
Actually, "palettes" is right here; see all the colors up above? :-)
This is my mom's whoopie pie recipe. I am not a big chocolate person - not a fan of brownies, hate chocolate cake, etc. (I know, it's blasphemous!). But these whoopie pies, my friends, make me a believer. Sooo yum.
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup milk
Cream the shortening, sugar, and egg. Sift dry ingredients together and add to sugar mixture, alternating with milk, add vanilla. Drop by Tablespoon onto cookie sheet. Bake at 375degrees for 5-10 min. Until done They will spread out a bit. Let cool on baking rack.
Cooked filling:
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
Whisk together in saucepan and cook until thickened over medium heat
Let cool
Beat 1 stick of butter
1/2 cup crisco
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
fold cooled milk mixture into butter mixture. Frost 1 whoopie pie with filling and cover with another whoopie pie of about the same size.
LOL. Maybe we should have been more specific...
Does anyone have any low fat recipes?
My wedding is a year from now and we aren't doing a traditional cake-the plan since day 1 has been whoopie pies, alfajores, and ice cream! i can't wait :)
1 Box Devil's Food Cake Mix (or any other flavor)
1 Stick of Unsalted Butter
2 Eggs
Beat with a mixer until the batter is thick.
Roll into 1 inch balls and bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. When touched they should still be soft, when you think they're probably not done- they most likely are. : )
I used Betty Crocker Whipped Fluffy White icing- there is a difference between this icing and typical white icing, this is so much better! Make sure they're completely cooled before you put the icing in between the "pies".
i think low-fat whoopie pie is an oxy moron ; )
yeah, you're right.
but still 1/2 cup shortening, 1/2 cup crisco and 1 stick of butter is a little much I think.
I'm sorry but I have to say the use of the royal "we" is pretty dang annoying. "We pride ourselves on being a great cook" just sounds ostentatious and ridiculous. Why can't your articles be written in the author's voice instead of this vague communal "we"?
The shortening recipe is the same one my aunt passed done to me...not crazy healthy...but crazy delicious!

seAFOod Polyp Prevention Trial re-opens
26 Sept 2014
After a period of several months when recruitment was hampered by drug supply problems, this important chemoprevention trial set in the English Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) will be fully open for recruitment again in BCSP sites across England. Trial investigators: please be on the look-out for 'high risk' polyp cases needing one-year surveillance colonoscopy from the first week in October onwards. The Trial now needs to recruit a minimum 20 participants per month for the next 18 months or so in order to reach target. Together, we can prove that the BSG and BCSP can host large, practice-changing drug trials such as this. A big thank-you to all contributing to the Trial.

New Evidence Update on Crohn's disease from NICE
An Evidence Update on Crohn's disease has been published by NICE.
NICE Evidence Updates help to reduce the need for individuals, managers and commissioners to search for new evidence and keep health and social care professionals up-to-date with new research. While Evidence Updates do not replace current accredited guidance and do not provide formal recommendations, they do highlight new evidence that health and social care professionals may wish to consider alongside current guidance.
The new Evidence Update focuses on a summary of selected new evidence relevant to NICE clinical guideline 152 'Crohn's disease: management in adults, children and young people' (2012).
Free-to-view webinar 'Constipation in children and young people: implementing the NICE quality standard'
MGP, the publisher of Guidelines and Guidelines in Practice has produced free-to-view webinars for healthcare professionals to help them keep up to date with best practice and maintain their guideline-related learning.
Constipation in children and young people: implementing the NICE quality standard
The webinar will be presented by Dr Hasan Chowhan and Lynne Watson on Wednesday 22nd October, 2 - 3pm and will:
- Discuss the NICE quality standard on constipation in children and young people
- Provide a GP perspective on implementing best practice

BSG Guidance on Coeliac Disease 2010
The Management of Adults with Coeliac Disease
There is clear evidence that coeliac disease is a common gastrointestinal disease affecting up to 1% of the adult population. Individuals may go undetected for many years. This is despite multiple presentations to both primary and secondary care. This may reflect that fact that affected individuals have subtle gastrointestinal symptoms or no gastrointestinal symptoms.
An active case finding strategy will increase the number of patients detected with coeliac disease. Testing for coeliac disease should incorporate an IgA level, Tissue Transglutaminase antibody and/or Endomysial antibody (depending on what is locally available). In patients with a positive antibody a duodenal biopsy should be undertaken to confirm the presence of villous atrophy. In patients who are antibody negative but the clinician is suspicious then a duodenal biopsy should still be undertaken having ensured that the patient is not on a self-imposed gluten-free diet (GFD).
The cornerstone of treatment is a GFD. Patients require regular dietetic support with the opportunity or access to a gastroenterologist should further problems arise. Follow-up may be in primary or secondary care as long as the support is adequate (as noted previously).
In patients with persisting symptoms they should be investigated carefully with particular reference to ensuring that refractory coeliac disease is excluded.

Decorative Pillows: Music Players
Etsy Finds
When I stop to think about it, it's a little alarming how many different media I've used to play music throughout my life. Sure, we all remember mix tapes. But I go back further than that, some of my first albums were 45s! Ahem. As a parent, it's easy to get nostalgic about those things that meant so much to you when you know your children will barely even know what you are talking about when you bring it up. I love that those crafty Etsyians are keeping the nostalgia alive -- with throw pillows no less. Cool right? Cassette tapes, turntables and even old school iPods; but there's one conspicuously missing.
Any one of these pillows would be a hip addition to a kid's room even if they don't know what it is. But where's the CD pillow? Don't feel bad CD, the 8-track didn't seem to make the cut either but I'm sure your time will come. In the meantime, here are 8 cool, music player pillows.
• Mix Tape Pillow by diffractionfiber ($27)
• Mini Pink Cassette Pillow by mymimi ($18)
• Yellow Cassette Tape Pillow by theleef ($52)
• Vintage Vinyl Player Mini Pillow by mymimi ($18)
• Record Player Cushion Cover by carolinedulko ($37)
• Record Pillow, Etta James Rocks the House by crushcraft ($25)
• They're Playing Our Song Pillow (custom embroidered) by Felix Street Studio ($48)
• iPod Icon Pillow by Craftsquatch ($20)

Too cute!
But no way would i pay that kind of money when it looks so easy to make.
Love these pillows!!
I love etsy SO much & so would pay the amount they are asking. As an artist, I will always support other artist & give them the credit not to mention money they deserve. They need these funds to continue creating. Also, as the daughter of a quilt shop owner - people would always come in & snap pictures of quilts with no patterns made by my Mom - unapologetically bragging how they could easily create the same thing for little to no money - odds are they couldn't (money wise) & odds are they never would(time wise).
Give artist their due!!
Thanks for the etsy share tied into tech - AWESOME!!!

Guam - Wednesday's announcement regarding the revised 2006 Realignment Plan between Japan and the United States may have been delayed, but shortly after noon Guam time today, the new plan was revealed, providing clarity and optimism that the relocation of Marines to Guam is moving forward.
"It's moving forward, this is a really good announcement for our country in terms of security plans and for our island and our region also," said buildup chair Senator Judi Guthertz says the people of Guam should feel optimistic regarding the joint statement from the US-Japan Security Consultative Committee outlining adjustments to the 2006 US-Japan Roadmap for Realignment Implementation.
Under the revised agreement, approximately 9,000 US Marines along with their dependents will relocate outside of Japan. And after speculation and discussion for months regarding just how many would relocate to Guam, the joint statement notes that a base sustainment unit will be established on Guam with the US and Japan agreeing to move 4,700 to 5,000 Marines to Guam from Okinawa.
"So I think we should be very encouraged by this, we're getting some clarity," said Guthertz.
The agreement also indicated some troops going to Hawaii and rotational troops going to Australia. "It did not at all talk about rotational troops on Guam, so I think we may be very fortunate that the troops coming to Guam will be here on a longer term basis," the senator continued.
And in order to develop Guam as a strategic hub and to mitigate the impact of military presence on local communities, both governments have agreed to explore new efforts to promote bilateral dynamic defense cooperation in the region.
The two governments meanwhile have agreed to consider cooperation in developing training areas in Guam and the CNMI as a shared use facility by the US and Japan's defense force. The preliminary costs meanwhile are estimated by the US Government for the relocation of Marines at $8.6 billion.
"Japan is committed to contribute $3.1 billion and United States would provide for the difference, the original record of decision estimated the buildup at the 9,600 Marine level to be about $11 billion+, so we're down to $8.6 billion, which is nothing to sneeze at," said Guthertz.
And after previous discussions that the buildup could not move forward until the issues involving the Futenma Replacement Facility were resolved, according to the DOD, as part of the adjustments, the relocation of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force personnel from Okinawa to Guam has finally been delinked with progress on the FRF.
Guthertz says now is not only the time for the community to study the terms of this revised agreement but understand that we have a great opportunity to move forward.

FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. (KMOX) – A man gets federal prison time for making a threat against a southern Illinois lounge earlier this year.
45-year-old Samirkumar "Samir" Mody of Lake Egypt had earlier pled guilty to sending a threatening letter to the Ramesses Lounge in Marion in January.
Authorities say in the note Mody threatened to "blast everybody in the lounge by chemical tubes".
It was never made clear what he meant by that, but prosecutors say on another occasion Mody left an envelope containing a gun at the same lounge.
He was ordered to spend five months in prison followed by five months of home confinement.

It can be used to generate traffic and in my case i have a pre paid usb modem which means that when i stick it in my laptop and connect to a mobile or 3G network, the OUC.EXE can cause me to loose credits without me knowing it when it attempts to update. Not good Huawei you should never add any software like that.(id: 283970)

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have three children that attended and graduated from this school. In addition, I taught here in the same school district. My advice depends on the type of student your child is. If your child is above average and college bound...by all means...this is the better school in Anderson. Conversely, if your child is a struggling student...MOVE...It has been my experience that this school does nothing to help these students achieve. They only care about the Who's Who students and the affluent.
I enjoy coming to TLH but there are some things that can be improved on.
im a student here at hanna and i've loved it here for the past 4 years. RADIO yourr the besttttttt. :) this scholl is great! i highly recomendd.
The guidance counselors at this school are the best! They work very hard to see that each child has the information they need to succeed.
I highly recommend Hanna High School as a school where students can choose to get involved in a variety of activities, and where they will receive a great education.I am a former Hanna teacher who has had teaching experience at 5 other high schools. My children attended the public schools in the area and we were very satisfied with their overall education.
I'm not a parent, but an ex-student of Hanna, and I loved it. It had great opportunities available to those interested in them, but you could do as much or as little as you wanted; educationally and extra-curricularly. Like any other opportunity, it has to be taken advantage of. I was busy seven days a week, but had close friends who only went to class (most of the time). I had wonderful relationships with certain teachers and administrators, while some friends were constantly in ISS (In School Suspension). My point is that Hanna is a fantastic school, but if the student chooses not to take advantage of its opportunities, Hanna will seem like any other.
Just saw the picture RADIO and I have a downsyndrome 46yr old son that was a waterboy, manager and asst. coach at Picayune High School, Picayune MS under Coach Ezell Lee now a state senator of MS and his son Dodd Lee for 30yrs. He died this past 8/20/04 and the team honored him in the papers, state and local and the team were pallbearers. He loved people and they loved him. Picayune #1 and Coach Dodd Lee#1 he would tell everyone. Thank GOD for schools like Hanna and Coaches like Harold Jones and the Lee's. Sincerely, Billie Blades, MOM and guardian
After sending my child to T.L. Hanna, I was appalled at the way things were at this school. I was told that this was the best school in the South, but I failed to see it. There was a lack of administrative leadership and support. I expect more from a school with such rave reviews.
I have heard some reports about misbehaving students that are in my eyes out of control,If you have a child an or relative that is currently enrolled at TL Hanna High School, I highly recomend them to consiter to moving to another school such as Pickens High in Pickens. I hope you will proceed more with the advice given above. Sincerely, Concerned Parent!
I'm a parent, but not of a student here. My family and I just watched 'Radio' and were in tears of joy at the outcome. What a great school you have. Hats off to you.
T.L.Hanna is a National Blue Ribon School and a State of South Carolina Palmetto's Finest recipiant. Award winning marching band as well as Jazz band. High academic achievment school. Beautiful building and great teachers for the most part.

- Delicious Thai-inspired foodsueandjohnDined on 9/9/2014The crispy chicken is maybe the best chicken dish I've ever had. The eggplant, which is something I often don't like, was delicious. They have four different kinds of rice, and there were four of us, so we tried them all--all good.Special Features:
- Fansltastic as alwaysDustinDined on 9/5/2014I've been to Noi about half a dozen times over the past few months and its turning into my girlfriends' and my favorite place to eat. Friendly staff, great ambience, and amazing food. Best Thai in Bend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food!GjgowmanDined on 8/28/2014The food, atmosphere, and service were excellent! Highly recommend the crispy garlic chicken!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Thai foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014Noi has by far the best Thai food I have ever had. Wonderful flavor, excellent presentation and the service it top notch. The décor and ambiance in the restaurant are both very inviting. You will not be disappointed with your visit.Special Features:
- Fabulous Thai FoodGlasartistDined on 8/16/2014It took me 2 years to finally try Noi. After Typhoon closing, I was prety sure that no one could deliver the same incredible food, but thankfully I was wrong. We have been there twice in the last 2 weeks and the first time Jay was our server and he is wonderful. Most recently we had Mellissa as our server and Jay as our runner. You couldn't ask for a better combo! Simply put, the wait help is very fast and friendly. I can hardly wait to go back for more Crab Pad Thai.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Menu changedLuvBendDined on 8/9/2014We were a little disappointed that Noi recently changed it's menu and took off some dishes we really liked. The menu is quite limited now but the good we ordered was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SonnyoneDined on 8/8/2014Prompt service. Excellent food. Our waiter was very friendly and knew the menu. He answered several questions. Thank you Shawn.Special Features:
- Before the show favoriterandcniixVIPDined on 8/2/2014Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Conveniently located for dinner before going to the Tower TheatreSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- dmaidDined on 6/15/2014Great food and portions are perfect. Great wait staff too. Love taking the family group there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 54 reviews are from the Noi reviews archive.

- great ideafoodguru1Dined on 4/29/2014food was just as expected--the right level of heat/flavor. The dancing was VERY nice, as was the live music--a nice treat.Special Features:
- OutstandingdebzeefDined on 4/1/2014First time I ate at Noi. Enjoyed the food and service and atmosphere very much. Definitely going back. Definitely recommending to friends. The waiter was well versed in describing and pronouncing the menu items.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GREAT THAIBendBillDined on 3/23/2014My wife and I dine at this restaurant about once a month. It has a very good selection of Thai food, a fair wine list and extensive tea selection. The food is routinely excellent and comes in a timely fashion to the table. If you want a bit of time between courses be sure not to order all your courses at once, order each course after the first is consumed. You will get a bit more time between each course. Spicey food is given a level of heat - one to five - one low and five very hot. Level one can be tolerated by any diner but be careful of level five. A friend order a level five dish and after two mouthfuls could not eat anything more and couldn't drink enough water to put the fire out. Service is great. Takeout available.Special Features:
- Slow Downgolfpro4Dined on 3/22/2014Seated. Ordered cocktails. Ordered appetizer and dinner. Cocktails arrived immediately. Five minutes later appetizer arrived. Five minutes later entrees arrived. We had been seated less than 15 minutes and our dinner was at the table. No time to enjoy our cocktails. Waitress nice enough to take entrees back to kitchen. Total time in NOI, from arrival to leaving, was less than 45 minutes. Food entrees were fabulous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noitkreft811Dined on 3/22/2014Great service here. Made reservations and was not disappointed. Food choices are excellent. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. Very enjoyable. Prices weren't unreasonable either.Special Features:
- Great food, lovely atmosphere.ZoefDined on 3/11/2014Great food, lovely atmosphere. I really appreciated the wealth of gluten free and vegan options. All in all a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Extremely pleasedBendgirlDined on 3/2/2014My husband and 6 year old son and I live in Bend but hadn't yet tried Noi. we had some family visiting from out of town who love Thai food so we gave Noi a try... it was FANTASTIC ! Our service was exceptional and everyone's food was wonderful. Lots of flavors and we loved choosing our own add-on spices at the table. We will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!DawgFanVIPDined on 2/23/2014I enjoyed the Chicken Cashew and my husband said the Pad Thai was wonderful. Food was so good, I am already planning another trip to Bend so that I can return to Noi!Special Features:
- New to ThaiLadyHopperDined on 2/14/2014We have never really eaten Thai food, even when my son worked at a Thai restaurant (sad and lacking, I know). However, after hearing rave reviews about Noi Thai and reviewing their menu online, it looked like it was time to branch out. We went for Valentine's Day 2014 and it was AMAZING. Very busy, with good reason, but I believe they are often very busy. Birdie was our server and she was very attentive, helpful and sweet. I appreciate that they offer levels of heat/spice as we all like different levels. HUGE portions - made for a fantastic lunch the next day. Has become one of our fave spots that we will frequent in the future.Special Features:
- Very PoorMikeBDined on 2/14/2014I made reservations three weeks in advance of Valentine's Day. When my wife and I arrived for our Valentine's Day dinner we were seated at a bar on bar stools. I asked if we could be moved to a table. After all, it is Valentine's Day. They refused to move us. Obviously, the restaurant had been overbooked and they were seating people in any possible space. We were very disappointed in our experience. Shame on you Noi, for putting financial profit ahead of your customers dining experience.
- Nice place for a celebrationDelburroDined on 1/31/2014When our friends were getting ready to move to Bend we had dinner with them here. It seemed only logical when we wanted to celebrate that friend's board certification that we would come back here. It has a great menu to meet everyone's needs. Food was wonderful as was the service. We all agreed that we shouldn't have to wait for a celebration to come back and enjoy the food there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- noi thaisuemDined on 1/26/2014husband had duck curry, and it was excellent. i had crispy garlic chicken. was good, but too salty--i could only eat half of the generous portion. no vegetables were provided with the chicken; order a side with veggies if you want a balanced dinner. service was very good, and the hostess was friendly. will return; want to try the pad thai.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food!FlipDined on 1/24/2014We've never had a bad meal at Noi and continue to enjoy excellent food each time we return. I had never been a thai food fan until now. The food is clean, fresh and even when we over eat there (which is easy to do since it's so good) we don't feel bloated or heavy due to the way the food is prepared. We always bring our out of town guests there and they have all thoroughly enjoyed their experience and food there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great time @ noi taiRoosterDined on 1/19/2014Great service with a friendly attentive staff. Food was fresh and delicious with a great selection to choose from. If the rest of the menu is as good as what my wife and I had for dinner, absolutely spectacular. The resteraunt was clean and very welcoming. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was appreciated.... MyopentableVIPDined on 1/10/2014It was appreciated.... My husband ordered a specialty tea and wanted a second one during dinner. The server said that she would gladly bring another but it was not one of their free refill drinks. So often the server never says anything and you get shocked when the bill arrives. The food was great as usual......Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our experience at Noi waslulubellDined on 1/4/2014Our experience at Noi was very pleasant. We had only appetizers, but they were delicious and were served very quickly. Delicious crab won tons and spring rolls. Love the atmosphere!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I have been a loyal customer butHungryDined on 12/24/2013We went to have a nice dinner. The server was nice and our appetizers got to the table in good time. The drinks took over 15 minutes. The main coarse took longer and she missed one of our orders. Then the women behind my son fell and bumped his chair really hard, he reached around to help her up because he couldn't stand up to help her up as two boys walked right by and did not stop to help. No one went to see if this poor women was ok but us. The pad Thai was great, but the lack of crab was noticeable and the crab fried rice was not good at all. I am very disappointed that I chose Noi to have a special event for my family. will think twice before trying Noi again.....sad, had a great meal in October.
- food was very good with generousOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/2/2013food was very good with generous servings. Three dishes were fine for four people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall, a very nice experience.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/16/2013Overall, a very nice experience. Service was prompt, informed, and friendly. Food was excellent. All enjoyed their meals.Special Features:
- Best meal yet at NoiLindsayVIPDined on 11/14/2013When Noi first opened we had our doubts, we didn't think anything could be as good as Typhoon which was in that space before. Our first few meals there were bumpy, but we love Thai so we kept going. We hadn't been in a few months and boy were we surprised last night. Seems like Noi has finally found its' rhythm. Our server Vic could not have been better - just the right amount of attention without it being too much. He made some great suggestions on wine and then with our meals. I had never had the coconut rice and he heard me say it sounded good so he let me know I could actually get a side of it for only $2. I did so and it was perfect to get the last bits of broth from my soup up. The rest of our meal was perfect as well!
- Birthday CelebrationoliverDined on 10/12/2013Perfect choice for a special celebration! Quiet enough to talk and enjoy each others conversations. The "cork" fee allows for bringing in a favorite wine of choice and helps to keep the overal price down. From entering the front door, to service and the most flavorful food, this restaurant has proven it's self to be one of Bend's better places to eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My dish was Fantastic!TrexDined on 10/8/2013Not only was it presented in a very elegant way, it tasted SENSATIONAL! I eat out fairly often, we travel a fair amount, and I can safely say this was one of the BEST Thai dishes I've ever had! YUMMMMMM! Will NOT be sharing leftovers with husband!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very enjoyable dinner with friendsZimaWarriorPrincessDined on 10/4/2013Great décor, not too loud, good food, brown rice option, priced appropriately, friendly staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Khi Mao Noodle #1 was perfectEt2GampyDined on 9/7/2013My Khi Mao Noodle #1 was perfect and the others of the table with their #4s were fanning themselves. Everything was good, tasty and served without fuss or muss. A dining delight. It's the best Thai in Bend.Special Features:
- Noi lunchJTlikesThaiDined on 8/20/2013Met a friend for lunch here. Both of us had partners/friends who weren't into Asian food. Noi certainly satisfied any cravings we had--for a while at least, and we'll be back. Excellent menu, more and different offerings than your ordinary Thai place; delicious food, reasonably priced, and the wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable--each made it a point to see how our meal was going without interrupting our quiet conversation. No wonder it's been voted #1 Thai Restaurant in Bend since it opened!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- After a delicious lunch wethurgau36Dined on 8/8/2013After a delicious lunch we decided to take some friends for dinner. The food was beautifully prepared and delicious. The best Thai restaurant in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice vacation find!JudiFoodieDined on 8/7/2013Bend has more restaurants per capita than most places I've visited (my husband said, "Doesn't anybody cook here?"). Given the choices and variety, we just picked a couple out of the local Where to Eat guide. Noi satisfied on all counts: reasonably big menu with both the usual Thai favorites (loved the red curry) and some that were a bit unusual; flavorful dishes, nicely presented; lovely ambience; friendly service; fair prices. If I lived there, this would be one of my regular choices.
- NOI was greatOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/5/2013The reservation, table selection, food, wine and price was all great. Birdie our server was extremely knowledgable and amiable and we are planning on many trips back !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noi is a great addition toOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/6/2013Noi is a great addition to Bend's burgeoning food scene. However, the wine list need a serious upgrading.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

text: Last weekend in Philadelphia, my sister, mom, and I took my 9 year old niece to her 1st concert~the American Idol tour! We surprised her and did not let onb to where she was going. We met before the show and I handed her the tickets! Hailey was thrilled! We walked into the stadium and started to head to the upper level wher our seats were located. We were stopped before the elevators and told we were being relocated to the lower level! Very exciting! Hailey (and all of us) we having a blast! All the idols sounded wonderful! Then during intermission I entered the Ford sponsored texting contest to win backstage passes. I received a text saying we had won! Ater the fabulous show we were escorted backstage and got to meet the top 10! Thank you Ford, for making my sweet niece's 1st contest such a memorable experience! It was definitely a night to remember!
