Trapped by Kevin Hearne
Read by joysann
Atticus O'Sullivan, the last druid in the world, has spent the last 13 years training his apprentice for this time when she can be bound to the earth and become the first new druid in a thousand years. But conflicts from Atticus' past adventures catch up with him, pitting him against gods and goddesses from several pantheons and some of the Tuatha de Danaan from his own country. But he can't allow even the beginning of Ragnarok interfere with this important task.
Atticus is known as the Iron Druid, and Kevin Hearne's series is fascinating excitement from book to book. The characters are fantastic and captivating, and story is written with charm and humor. I best enjoy the laugh-out-loud moments that are frequent and in just the right places, making it a series I want to suggest to every reader.
True Love at Silver Creek Ranch: A Valentine Valley Novel by Emma Cane
Read by Heidi
Adam DeSantis is back to Valentine Valley after his tour of duty, with the understanding how his grandmother's health is getting worse and needs him. He is reluctant to go back to where he grew up, especially with his hard upbringing; but his grandmother sacrificed for him, so he must be there for her. Brooke Thalberg has been working hard for her family at Silver Creek Ranch, and there is always more to do. She seems to be wanting something different, something more, but isn't sure what or how. When her father hires Adam to work at the ranch, Brooke becomes his boss, so the feelings that are making her insides stir, must be put away, no matter how hard it is.
You know how wonderful it is to put on comfortable clothes? You relax, and feel better inside and out. That is how I felt after reading this book. Great all over. And even with the side stories of the grandmothers fighting for the city, and Brooke helping out the local youth in town, it really made everything comfortable and cozy.
Demon Hunting in a Dive Bar by Lexi George
Read by Joe
Half-demon Rebekah "Beck" Damian owns a bar that caters to the paranormal residents of Hannah, AL. Beck's firmly controlled life goes to hell in a hurry when a hot, arrogant Dalvahni demon hunter shows up, throwing Beck into infuriating lust and a load of unwanted trouble. Conall thinks Beck knows something about a weapon that can wound the near-invulnerable Dalvahni. Prickly Beck is bewilderingly attractive to the "unemotional creature of logic" that is the Dalvahni warrior, plus he's supposed to kill demons, not fall for them. Added for fun and depth are a sweet shifter dog, a depressed vegetarian zombie, a screechy Wampus Kitty, and scores more.
For me this book fit into the moderately interesting category. The humor and snark in it kept me laughing, but there were parts of the romance elements that seemed rushed and odd to me. This may read differently for someone else. Not having read the first two, I don't know if I would have gotten to book three if it took until now to introduce any weakness for the demon hunters other than human women. It's part of the reason I never got fully behind Superman. Still, even with some of the leaps in romantic logic that come close to the physics examples given in a Die Hard movie, it was a solid read. A quick one too as there was always action going on.
Untamed by Sara Humphreys
Read by Joan
Amoveos are shape shifters of various clans ruled by a high council, and have pre-designated mates, their one true love that they must find in life. Unlike most half breed Amoveos, Layla Nickelsen knows what she is and is determined to choose her own mate. However, when William Fleury of the Falcon clan shows up in her dreams and then at her farm she begins to find out more about herself and her future.
Untamed is the third book in the Amoveo Legend series. Not having read the first two books, I still was able to easily pick up the story line. It was a very exciting and romantic story with lots of conflict and tension in this paranormal world. I am anxious to read the next book, Undenied.
Tempting the Bride by Sherry Thomas
Read by Alice
David Hillsborough, Viscount Hastings, saves Helena Fitzhugh, whom he's secretly loved for years, from ruin when he offers her marriage after she is found in an ill-conceived rendezvous with married man. Helena reluctantly accepts, though she's detested David since their childhood. Surviving an accident in which Helena loses her memory, David lives in fear of her recovery, thus ending the marriage he's always desired.
I really enjoyed this historical with its twists and turns. It was romantic and charming, and made for an interesting read.
The Enchanted Land By Jude Deveraux
Read by Ashley
Morgan Wakefield father has died leaving her his ranch in New Mexico but the only way to inherit it is if she marries and lives with her husband there for a year.

Together they sent off on the Santa Fe trial where they will encounter dangers they never expected.

This might be Jude Deveraux best novel! Its an emotional rollercoaster, there are so many surprising twists and turns in the plot, I could not put it down! The Enchanted Land is truly an enchanted novel with adventure, thrills, and a steamy hot romance. It is honestly one the best western historical romance novels I have read this year!
An Apple for the Creature, an anthology of stories edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni L P Kelner
Read by joysann
Here is another of those fantastic anthologies that bring together short stories by multiple excellent authors, many of whom are favorites of mine and some who are new to me. ALL of the stories are exciting and chilling. The premise here is learning, whether as student, teacher or innocent bystander in a wide variety of spooky situations.
These incredible authors are Ilona Andrews, Amber Benson, Rhys Bowen, Mike Carey, Charlaine Harris, Donald Harstad, Steve Hockensmith, Nancy Holder, Faith Hunter, Toni L. P. Kelner, Marjorie Liu, Jonathan Maberry, Thomas Sniegoski. Some of the stories are related to a series the author may have going, and some go off in a wholly new direction for the author. Each of these stories were enthralling, and more than a few gave me goosebumps. They make for an excellent read.
Bottom Line: Been snowing here for 2 days days…good thing it's bright and sunny in my fantasy world of books.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Geoffrey Manne on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Of Germanic (Frankish and Lombard) origin, introduced to Britain by the Normans. It was in regular use among the counts of Anjou, ancestors of the English royal house of Plantagenet, who were descended from Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou (1113–51). It was a particularly popular name in England and France in the later Middle Ages; notable bearers in England include the poet Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1340–1400) and in Wales the chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth (d. 1155). The original form and meaning of the name is disputed. According to one theory, it is merely a variant of Godfrey; others derive the first part from the Germanic word gawia 'territory', walah 'stranger', or gisil 'pledge'. Medieval forms can be found to support all these theories, and it is possible that several names have fallen together, or that the name was subjected to reanalysis by folk etymology at an early date.

Prime minister Manmohan Singh is still keen to visit Pakistan. He "needs a door not a window for making the visit purposeful," says external affairs minister Salman Khurshid tells HT. Full text of the interview with Jayanth Jacob where talks on a host of foreign policy issues.
Q) Pakistan is supposed to give you the MFN status by the month end, which they say they are positively considering. Also there is the the day to day trial on these 26/11 case in Pakistan. Do you see some window is still open for the Prime Minister to visit Pakistan?
Salman Khurshid: Prime Minister needs a door, not a window. When he visits Pakistan he needs a door. But we make assessment and I am sure that the Prime Minister's Office does that. We provide inputs from time to time as to what will be the ideal time for him to visit. There is a problem though at the other end because Pakistan is moving very fast towards an election and obviously they will get preoccupied after a couple of weeks with those elections. Whether there will be the best opportunity at that time to go to Pakistan or not, I think is the big question. But as I said, Prime Minister wants to go to Pakistan but he wants the visit to be a purposeful one, to be a visit which is not just an ordinary visit but a visit that will achieve something. I think it is important because the disappointment of not achieving anything in the visit and become a drag on whatever expectation we have of moving forward. So, I think at the right time and with the right sense prevailing, the Prime Minister will factor everything in and then make up his mind.
Q) It is the first time that a democratically-elected Government is going to complete its term in Pakistan. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will be completing two terms in office. He has been one of the Prime Ministers who always advocated better India-Pakistan ties and this vision for South Asia is well-known. Is it not a bit sad, that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh not visiting Pakistan because of the circumstances which have been there?
Salman Khurshid: Pakistan is not going away and Dr. Manmohan Singh is not going away. So, let us just wait for the right opportunity to come. Going there to congratulate them for completing five years of elected civilian rule is good. Going there to congratulate them on emergence of a new civilian elected government is also a good moment. So, let us see. All these things contribute to the decision. When the decision is taken, you people will be the first to know.
Q) Which is a better moment,? You said both are good moments, congratulating on completion of five years and the first elected.
Salman Khurshid: That is only in terms of timeline. But there are a lot of other factors that have to be taken into account and I have not mentioned those factors. But those are very obvious factors. As I said, factors that will make the visit purposeful are what will be the deciding factors upon which the Prime Minister will take a call.
Q) With regard to the India-Pakistan cricket series, is any cricket diplomacy in the offing? There have been famous incidents in the past. World Cup was one instance when Prime Minister met Prime Minister Gilani.
Salman Khurshid: The very fact that we are playing cricket I hope is a message enough. Who will watch that cricket? We will see as we go along. But just the fact that we are playing cricket I think is important. Some people have objected even to this. There will always be some people who would not want India and Pakistan to move forward at the speed at which after thoughtful consideration we believe we should move. But there are people who would be cynical, skeptics who will think that this is not the right thing to do. We value their point of view and we respect their point of view. But I think the majority of people feel that it is time that we got back to the playing field and use it as a confidence-building measure so that more difficult areas of our relationship can then be taken up and resolved.
Q) So, no diplomacy on the side? No meetings?
Salman Khurshid: Side diplomacy is never planned. It just happens. If there is something that comes up and circumstances offer an opportunity, I am sure both of us will take it.
Q) Despite New Delhi taking it up many a time, the trial of 26/11 Mumbai attack case in Pakistan is not making any substantial progress and Islamabad has been saying it cannot intervene with the judicial process. Do you think that a meaningful India Pakistan dialogue is held hostage to this one issue?
Salman Khurshid: India desires peaceful, friendly and cooperative ties with Pakistan. Our ties can be normalized in an atmosphere which is free from terror and violence. There can be no doubt that we are disappointed at the glacial pace at which Pakistan's 26/11 judicial process has been progressing. We feel that the Pakistan authorities can do much more in this regard. India remains committed to resolving all outstanding issues with Pakistan through a bilateral dialogue process. Two rounds of the resumed dialogue have been completed since this process began in 2011. The Commerce Secretary level talks held in Islamabad in September 2012 marked the commencement of the third round of these talks. We are committed to this process which is predicated on a step-by-step, graduated and forward looking approach which builds on points of convergence and aims to narrow points of divergence.
Q) Rajiv Gandhi was the last Congress prime minister to visit Pakistan. Dr. Manmohan Singh is held in high esteem by Pakistani leaders and his intentions for good India-Pakistan ties are beyond doubts. But is it the sense that Congress cannot be as daring as BJP in thinking out of the box when it comes to India-Pakistan ties?
Salman Khurshid: All Governments in India have worked towards establishing good neighbourly ties with Pakistan. As I have said earlier our ties can be normalized only in an atmosphere that is free from terror and violence.
Q)Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf has recently said that the 'establishments, the intelligence agencies" in both India and Pakistan play a disproportionate role in not improving the ties between the two countries. How do you see it?
Salman Khurshid: India's parliamentary democracy and Cabinet decision making process are well known, and as the world's largest democracy do not require reiteration. However, I would not like to comment about former President Musharraf 's views regarding decision making in his country.
Q) This is a broader question on Maldives. Some issues regarding Indian investment on a particular project happened in Myanmar in 2011. Now it is happening in Maldives. Is it a sort of a pattern that Indian investment and Indian companies are finding difficulties in countries like Maldives and Myanmar where you do not have that kind of a favourable political situation?
Salman Khurshid: I do not think we should see this in a disproportionate way and out of context. There are local politics in every country and there are differences between political parties and their perceptions about how suitable a particular decision is. You have to take the risk of that in a democracy. That is the reason why we sign bilateral investment treaties and so on and similar guarantees. But in spite of that our own experience shows that internal institutional tensions can end up giving outcomes and results that are not necessarily optimal. So, I think you just have to take these things in your stride and deal with them as they come. This should not be seen as doomsday prophecies or an issue of someone flexing muscle against you and then this should therefore lead to a confrontation. I think we should not see it in that context. But depending on how complex the problem is and the nature of the problem, we deal with it as and when we are called upon to do so. We have to learn to be mature in terms of letting our private industry and private business deal with Governments that it is working with. And at the same time the broad canvas within which they have to work is the canvas that we must protect, preserve and indeed develop as and when it is thought appropriate.
Q) But Sir, there were many reports and many suggestions that there are foreign hands involved. Do you see any neighbouring countries for example inimical to your interest in this?
Salman Khurshid: Why shouldn't neighbouring countries take an interest? We do not have a monopoly of any country. These are friendly countries. We have invested both in terms of financial support, capacity building, cooperation in the field of development, and in terms of emotional attachment of our people. And we should have self confidence and faith in the relationship that has been developed by our leadership on both sides over decades if not centuries. I think we should not be overtly and unnecessarily concerned about other countries trying to find a foothold in our traditional friendly countries. We should have the confidence to know that ultimately our bonds will be stronger than anything else others are to offer.
Q) But, is it not creating a sort of temporary tension whether it is Pakistan or China finding a foothold in countries like Maldives?
Salman Khurshid: External Affairs Minister: Temporary concerns, passing concerns, of course to view and check our own efforts to ensure that, as you do it in the market place and the market place when a new shop opens, you do take a look and see whether it is attracting some of your old customers or whether you need to do something to reinforce your hold and your bond with your customers. I think that is the same sort of thing that happens in the market place of the world that countries make new friends, countries revive old friendships, countries cement relationships of the past, countries build upon relationships of the past. And I think you need to continue doing that.
Q) Moving on to the nuclear deal issue, there are concerns still about India's liability law. Many firms argue that their cost will go up if they have to ensure every equipment and things like that. Is it also the Government of India's view that you can pay them extra money for all the insurance they are going to do for the supplier liability clause in the law?
Salman Khurshid: Our view simply is that we have the law and we have the rules. These have been legislated after considerable debate in the country and disagreement in the country. But now that we have this regime in place, and we have explained this to interested parties across the globe, and many are willing to do business with us based on these, I would urge others to follow suit. I think there are some people who have doubts. We have done our best to clear those doubts and we will continue to do so. As some global companies begin to invest and do business with us, I am sure others will fall in line. If there are difficulties within the four corners of legislation that we have, we are willing to talk about them and see those difficulties can be removed or at least explained away.
Q) There is a suggestion from the US that the law should be interpreted by IAEA. Is it the position you agree to? How do you see that kind of a stand?
Salman Khurshid: Even if we said yes, how will it work? The law has to be interpreted by our courts. Our courts are not subservient to any international organization. They take into account our international obligations. But that is all. Ultimately the interpretation has to be done under our Constitution by our courts, which means the Constitutional courts of our country.
Q) By saying so do you mean that Indian law is consistent with international liability regime? There is nothing in Indian law which is against the international liability regime clauses.
Salman Khurshid: Our obligation is to make our law consistent with international obligations. That is what we do and that is what we have done in each case. For that purpose the only way it can be done is by making appropriate amendments in Parliament. Whatever is finally the product of Parliament can be interpreted only by our courts finally. Our courts are not subservient to or not subject to appeals to adjudication beyond our courts except perhaps where we voluntarily go to the International Court of Justice. It is only in such a case that our courts would be bound by decisions that are taken by the International Court of Justice.
Q) There was also a demand that the law should be looked at by the Parliament again. Is it something which you will be open to?
Salman Khurshid: You have seen how difficult it was when it went to Parliament last time. You will really be inviting trouble to take it back to Parliament. I think sometimes it is best to let something work without reopening a Pandora's box. There are, not just in India but world over, very strong constituencies against nuclear power. Therefore, I think we should be happy and content with what we have been able to do and let it work forward and show to people that it is beneficial for them, before we try to improve in terms of expectations that some people have.
Q) On the South China Sea issue, how do you think the Code of Conduct that is being talked about will be implemented? China is a big power. It cannot be easily contained. Many people in the Indian Government also said that. Suddenly a Code of Conduct on South China Sea is gaining traction. How do you see it being implemented once the Code is in place?
Salman Khurshid: Chinese are responsible members of the world community and they play a significant role in the ASEAN region. They have a bilateral and multilateral presence in the region. They are in contact with the countries of that region which have varying perceptions about the entire issue. As far as we are concerned, we very categorically support, and obviously we are not the only ones to say this, that freedom of navigation and international law of the sea should be observed. That is standard proposition. But the real issue is with the countries of that area, that region. They are in touch and they will find a solution. One should not treat China as being independent and separate of the world community and the arrangements that the world makes for issues such as these. So, let the negotiations continue in a manner in which they are continuing. And then some solution will be found.
Q) At the same time it is an issue of sovereignty for China. It is like a sovereign issue being brought into a multilateral forum. India has for long resisted this kind of an idea for its own domestic issues. How do you see it from that perspective?
Salman Khurshid: There are a lot of countries which are happy to go into multilateral solutions. There are a lot of countries that do not accept multilateral solutions for issues, as we do not. But you cannot have a single rule and a single size sort of fit everybody. The circumstances, the context, aspirations of people, perceptions - all these matter. Then finally they decide. China wants to talk bilaterally to its neighbours. China will talk bilaterally to its neighbours. I do not think that we should look for problems where no problems exist. Wherever there are possible solutions, I think we should encourage those possible solutions rather than find impediments.
Thank you, Sir.

Interpretive Handbook
8310 :
Fat, Feces
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Fecal lipids include monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, glycolipids, soaps, sterols, cholesteryl esters, and sphingolipids.
Steatorrhea (increased fecal excretion of fat) may reflect a number of pancreatic or intestinal disorders, including chronic pancreatitis with or without stone obstruction, cystic fibrosis, neoplasia, Whipple disease, regional enteritis, tuberculous enteritis, gluten-induced enteropathy (celiac disease), Giardia-associated enteropathy, sprue, or the atrophy of malnutrition.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosing fat malabsorption due to pancreatic or intestinal disorders
Monitoring effectiveness of enzyme supplementation in certain malabsorption disorders
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Excretion of >7 grams fat/24 hours, when on a diet of 100 to 150 g of fat, is suggestive of a malabsorption defect.
Abnormal results from a random specimen should be confirmed by submission of a timed collection.
Test values for timed fecal fat collections will be reported in terms of g/24 hours; the duration of the collection may be 24, 48, 72, or 96 hours. Test values for random fecal fat collections will be reported in terms of percent fat.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not useful for differentiating among pancreatic diseases.
Proper patient preparation is critical (see Specimen Required). Failure to adhere to a fat-controlled diet or to exclude other oils or oil substitutes from the diet may make interpretation difficult.
Barium interferes with test procedure; a waiting period of 48 hours before stool collection analysis is recommended.
The use of diaper rash ointments will falsely elevate test results. Discontinue use during collection period.
The use of charcoal as a marker is not recommended. If charcoal is used, please notify the laboratory.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =18 years: 2-7 g fat/24 hours
Reference values have not been established for patients who are <18 years of age.
All ages: 0-19% fat

Volleyball falls to Virginia Tech, Freeburg named to All-Hokie Classic team
Saturday, August 30, 2003Blacksburg, Va. (August 30, 2003) -- East Tennessee State's overall record fell to 1-2 in the early season after the Buccaneers were defeated by Virginia Tech in their third and final match of the Hokie Classic, 3-0. The ETSU offense continued its struggles as the Hokies downed the Bucs (30-25, 30-15, 30-21) in consecutive games, while Virginia Tech was crowned tournament champions. As a team, the Bucs' attack percentage was a miniscule -.036 after committing 33 attack errors opposed to just 29 kills. "We had our brief moments where everything clicked," said head coach Lindsey Devine. "But overall we just didn't have the consistency it took in order to win today." Meanwhile, junior outside hitter Karen Freeburg (Newcastle, Ind.) was named to the All-Hokie Classic team. "The players look to Karen for her leadership," said Devine. "She's a very versatile player and the entire team and we as coaches have a lot confidence in her." ETSU's next opponent will be Indiana State on Friday, Sept. 5 in Valparaiso, Ind. The match is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m., and will kickoff the Valparaiso Popcorn Classic -- a two-day event that will feature the Crusaders as the host team along with Cleveland State.

A Community Blooms
Food fosters community. I used those words from a young Bolinas farmer to start my book on organic farming. On Saturday, I saw them come to life again in the opening of the Canal Community Garden.
Located on what was a vacant quarter-acre of city land where the butt end of Bellam Boulevard collides with the salt marsh separating San Rafael from the Bay, the garden represents a successful collaboration between the Canal Alliance, the Trust for Public Land, local government and a clutch of private donors and volunteers. (Marin IJ story.)
With 92 plots of soil, a modern greenhouse and a composting complex, the garden gives its urban farmers the chance to bring fresh, local, organic food to one of Marin's poorest neighborhoods. But more than that, it does what all farms do: Promises that today's effort will bring tomorrow's harvest — a message of inherent hope in a community where life is challenging.
Farming is always an investment in the future. The soil, the seed, the crops, the weather, all are unknowns that the farmer — whether in Iowa or Marin — must cope with and curate through the season, believing that work, nature and a bit a luck will fulfill the cycle of land to table.
There is dignity in the dirt. Weathered skin, encrusted fingernails and achy backs are badges of honor. Thanks to the Canal Community Garden more of us will have an opportunity to wear them.
(Here's my post from last November, when volunteers were installing the mosaic centerpiece for the garden.)

On the Job: The Garden in the Canal
Far out on the edge of the Canal, past the blocks crammed corner-to-corner with parked cars, beyond the rows of sagging apartment houses packed with immigrants, on the other side of the new Mi Pueblo grocery, where Mexicans and Guatemalans and Salvordorans shop for sheets of chicharron, fat plugs of quesillo and other foods that make home seem less distant, far the from busy intersection where broad-backed men line up for day labor, not near any of those things, but on the long, low flat of fill that stretches to the Bay and one day will hold some brand of box store if the city fathers have their way but for today, at least, sits empty, they're building a garden.
The Canal Community Garden, located on a quarter-acre of city land at Bellam Boulevard and Windward Way, is an array of 5-foot-by-10-foot, redwood-rimmed beds that, come next year, will abound with organic, herbs, fruits, vegetables and flowers, each plot the labor of someone whose desire to extract bounty from the land overcame the unlikelihood that they'd ever be able to do it in a place as infertile as the Canal.
Work on the garden began in September. Seeds go in the soil in February. When the first harvest comes, the urban farmers and gardeners of the Canal should thank The Trust for Public Land and the Canal Alliance for making it happen.
I was there on Saturday, talking with a Philip Vitale of the Trust for Public Land, the project manager. He filled me in: a budget of more than $600,000; 92 garden plots of various sizes; a greenhouse for sprouting; a storage shed with lockers; a central space for classes and education; and, centering it all, a circular mosaic celebrating the overlap of art, food and community.
The mosaic came together while I watched. Oakland artist Rachel Rodi, the designer, and a half-dozen other women worked shoulder-to-should around a rectangular table, cutting sheets of blue, purple and green tile into shards of many shapes, laying beads of glue on the pieces and inserting them into the unfinished mosaic. It was a jigsaw puzzle with a twist: There were no pieces until someone made them.
The Canal Community Garden is the successor to one that was lost to the expansion of the Pickleweed Community Center in 2005. Since then, said Vitale, The Trust for Public Land has worked on a replacement. Partnering with the Canal Alliance, the neighborhood's primary social service and advocacy organization, was key to the success of the project and ensures ongoing management of the garden, he said.
Daniel Werner, an AmeriCorps VISTA staffer on loan to Canal Alliance, is the garden coordinator. (To learn more about the garden or to apply for a plot, contact Werner at firstname.lastname@example.com, 415-306-0428.
I showed up at the garden on Saturday to scratch an itch, one that's festered in the years I've been out newspaper journalism — a desire to feel the connection to community I felt when I first fell into photojournalism and, then, reporting.
As many did, I wandered into journalism by accident, but once there found enchantment and intrigue in the stories of ordinary people. I began as a photographer and loved capturing the faces of people with the camera. When I started writing, I became addicted to the interview, the act of questioning and asking why and how and who. I was nosy and I guess was needy and the conversation satisfied both.
Eventually, I let many of those things slip away. I managed people instead of photographing them. I wrote memos instead of stories. I looked far ahead and missed what was in front of me. I'd succeeded in the business of journalism, but I'd stopped honoring the passion that brought me to it in the first place.
Now, I'm, if not wiser, certainly older. I don't confuse ambition with passion any longer. I recognize the difference between what I must do and what I love to do. I admire more the great storytellers, visual and written, and the work they do to bring those stories to us. And, perhaps with some regret – because we all have just a little, don't we? – I wish I had made more of an effort to become one of them.
I didn't, though, so I do this – stop by an empty city lot on a cold fall afternoon to meet a group of good-minded people who are building a garden, an enterprise that enriches the neighborhood, elevates the common welfare and rewards them with the individual satisfaction. I take some pictures, I ask a few questions, I find a small story and I share it. It is journalism with the smallest "J" possible. Not hard-hitting. Not world-changing. Not much of anything really other than a thin slice of truth, a small dollop of daily life, and a healthy reminder to myself that this is who I once was – and who I can be again.

Referring to the video ja baudin put up. Pretty good presentation of actual job conditions....don't expect to always have enough room to stand though. Possibly the white hat is an inspector but I'm guessing more likely a foreman or charge hand. He marks anything that jumps out at him...'w' for reweld/more buildup and 'g' for grind something ugly. Welder would then make repairs and then someone would run a wire wheel over all the welds. Usually, as an inspector clears an area, he will have his own personal marking....spray the weld with a primer or a permanent crayon. He sees something bad he may have a different colour to highlight the problem. Trick is to get it right the first time so inspector doesn't find anything.

Gallery: Intermode's Kilmore House is a Series of Efficient Modular Pav...
Intermode's housing model makes use of a variety of pre-designed modules that can be joined together to create homes that are customized for clients' needs. All homes are based around a 1,200 mm spine wall that contains all the utilities and storage areas freeing up the other elevations for flexible living areas and glazing. Intermode's modules include a variety of bedrooms, bathrooms, studies, play rooms, living rooms and kitchens that can be lined up together to create one long house or grouped pavilion style. The Kilmore House has a combination of linear configurations and groupings to create the five-bedroom, three-bath home.
Located on a 500-acre cattle ranch in Kilmore to the north of Melbourne, the home enjoys a strong connection with the landscape. Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens up the home to views and sunlight, while deep overhangs protect it from overheating. The home was prefabricated offsite and then assembled and completed in a relatively short time. Passive solar design is combined with renewable timber resources, extensive water storage, high performance walls, roof and glazing systems to create an efficient home. While definitely on the higher end of the prefab market, Intermode's goal is to build modular home solutions that offer clients elegant, top end design principles at a predictable cost and within a predictable time frame.

Ditching your bandmates: There might not be a more fashionable move for indie rockers to make these days. Julian Casablancas shook off The Strokes, James Mercer split his Shins, and Thom Yorke is cheating on Radiohead with Flea, of all people.
Last year, Alec Ounsworth pulled a similar move, taking a break from frontman duties in one-time Pitchfork phenoms Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to craft a solo album, Mo Beauty.
The disc finds him fading down the fuzz and embracing the creepy carnival busker's vibe that popped up on both Clap Your Hands Say Yeah discs. High points such as the galloping rocker "That Is Not My Home" split the difference between the clean songcraft of their debut and the experimental haze of their underwhelming follow-up, Some Loud Thunder. Even if your taste for his band has turned in recent years, Ounsworth's solo fare is worth a fresh listen.
He hits Nashville on Monday, Feb. 1, for a show at 3rd & Lindsley (818 Third Ave. S., 259-9891).
The show starts at 9:30 p.m., and tickets are $10.

What Can A Paralegal Do?
Paralegal Function and Employment Options
Employment OpportunitiesThe use of paralegals in law firms and other law related settings greatly enhances
the accessibility of legal services. Therefore, employers are placing an increased
emphasis on the hiring of paralegals to perform tasks that many young attorneys can
perform. Although private law firms are the largest consumer of paralegal services many
legal departments of corporations and government entities also utilize paralegals. For
example, estate and trust departments of large banks, health care entities, insurance
companies and real estate related organizations are continually finding that employing
paralegals is an effective way to perform legal services.
- Private Law Firms
- Law Departments of corporations
- Banks
- Insurance Companies
- Government Agencies
- Legal Services/Legal Aid Offices
- Special Interest Groups/Associations
- Criminal Law Offices
- Freelance or Independent Paralegals
- Service Companies
- Consulting Firms
DutiesThe duties of paralegals are as wide and diverse as are their employers.
Paralegals may be generalists meaning that their practice is broad and varied or the
paralegal may be a specialist meaning that their work is very focused and tailored to a
particular area of law. Paralegal education is designed to train the paralegal to succeed as
both a generalist or a specialist. The setting that the paralegal is employed in determines
the tasks that the paralegal will perform. Responsibilities most often include drafting
client correspondence, maintaining client files, legal and factual research, monitoring
deadlines with the court and drafting legal documents.
The most common area of practice for paralegals is litigation which would
include drafting pleadings and other court related documents and also includes factual
and legal investigation. Another large and growing area for paralegals includes
transactional practice which most commonly entails corporate and real estate
transactions. Paralegals employed in a transactional setting often perform due diligence
as well as filing legal documents with the secretary of state or other appropriate
governmental entity. Estate and probate paralegals often deal with client's wills and
trusts and make sure that various procedures are adhered to. There are numerous other
subsets within the broad realms of litigation and transactional practices. Paralegals often
find their niche and continue to enhance their knowledge base in a particular setting
which leads them into specializing in a particular area of law.
- Locate and interview witnesses
- Conduct client interviews
- Conduct legal research
- Draft legal documents, correspondence and pleadings
- Maintain general contact with the client
- Conduct investigations
- Conducts statistical and documentary research
- Summarize depositions, interrogatories and testimony
- Attend executions of wills
- Participate in real estate closings
- Attend Depositions
- Attend court or administrative hearings with the attorney
Career OutlookAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Office of Employment Projections the
Paralegal Profession is projected to grow disproportionately compared with other
occupations and has an above average growth rate.

Have you noticed that your child walks with his or her feet rotated inward instead of pointing straight ahead? This could be described as intoeing and is sometimes referred to as being "pigeon toed."
As a parent, you may raise concerns with your child's physician about how your child is walking or running, or perhaps a concern was raised by the child's grandparents who may have known a child years ago who was treated with a brace or special shoes for a similar issue. Intoeing gait is a common reason for referral of your child to a pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
Intoeing stems from one of, or a combination of, three areas: the foot, the lower leg and the hip. Which area is contributing determines the likelihood that it will resolve over time and determines up until what age one may expect improvement.
The most frequent case of intoeing in infants and young toddlers arises ...

*May/June 2010 COTM - GOURMET: Fish, Poultry
Welcome to our May and June 2010 COTM, Gourmet Today: More Than 1000 All-New Recipes for the Contemporary Kitchen.
Please use this thread for review and discussion of recipes from the following chapters:

Scallops with Snail-Garlic Butter and Leeks (page 364)
Disappointing, mainly because over the past year or so I've been making some really outstanding scallop dishes—mostly from "Fish Without a Doubt."
You make a butter with snails, garlic, parsley, and S&P, smear it on the scallops, bake them for book says about 7 minutes if in shells but I cooked mine for about 9, top with simply sautéed leeks, and garnish with parsley and chives.
The snails in the butter were barely discernible, especially disappointing since they were outrageously expensive and you use less than half the can. The butter could have used at least double the amount of garlic, for my taste. And the butter didn't really melt—even at 9 minutes at 450F; it just sort of sat on top of the scallops and began to brown. The leeks were lovely with the scallops, but I expected more explosive flavors and this was all surprisingly subtle. Good, but not what I was expecting. And not something I'd do again considering the superior recipes available elsewhere.
(Took pic, with old backup camera, before I remembered to add the leeks. Once I remembered, the camera was dead. First time posting a pic in new format. Curious to see what it looks like, although the photo itself isn't a particularly good one.)
re: JoanN
Joan, you overachiever, you with a recipe to report already! That looks delicious! Too bad you didn't love it. Still, surely there will be recipes to love among the other 999.
Do you want to set up an adjunct thread for the yellow book, which I now like to call Gourmet Yesterday?
re: The Dairy Queen
Gourmet Yesterday?!? Brilliant!!! And so it will be, forever and ever.
Not the least concerned this scallop dish wasn't a winner. I've made enough winners from Yesterday to be confident of finding many here as well.
I'd have to spend some time with the yellow book trying to recall what I've made from it. I never did take notes, or photos. I can tell you, though, that the "La Brea Tar Pit" Chicken Wings, the Black Bean Soup with Rum, the Summer Fruit Salad with Mint Sugar, the Parmesan Chicken, the Duck Breasts with Orange-Ancho Chile Sauce, and the Creme Brulee French Toast were all in regular rotation for quite some time soon after I first bought the book.
Spiced Chicken Half Recipe (p. 397) I'm still waiting for my copy of the book, but I found this one online. http://tinyurl.com/2cavfh9
This was big on flavor and fast to make. I often struggle with making a quick and delicious meal after a long work day and this hit the spot. It is made with spices that I typically have on hand (cinnamon, chili powder, cumin, ground coriander, salt and pepper). You rub the chicken (we used whole leg) with the spice mixture (I omitted the oil) and then you brown the chicken stovetop and finish for 25 minutes in a 450 degree oven. After the chicken is done, you make a quick pan sauce by adding water and then deglazing for a minute. We found the chicken was flavorful enough without the sauce. The chicken was perfectly cooked and very juicy. Looking forward to trying this with chicken breasts next. One adjustment I will make next time is to use less salt. I'm not sure if halving the recipe threw it off, but I did find it a bit too salty. Otherwise, this was a success.
re: BigSal
Spiced Chicken, Pg. 397
In between soccer, the Red Sox and the Celtics games we made this last night with 4 drumsticks and 4 thighs... skin on & bone-in. As Big Sal said, juicy and crispy and full of flavor. I included the bit of oil in the rubbing paste. Also, didn't even bother pulling off the fatty bits as I usually do. All that plus the pan sauce made the finished dish taste marvelous. Served with basmati rice and the Farmers Market Salad from the New England Soup Factory Cookbook which has a delectable blue cheese dressing.
We loved this dinner!
re: BigSal
Did you try it with the chicken breasts, Sal? Still juicy?
re: twilight goddess
Just made the spiced chicken again. This time with a chicken leg and breast. Both were flavorful and juicy. I made it without the gravy. Such an easy and flavorful dish with minimal effort.
Pan Seared Tilapia with Chile Lime Butter
I have made this twice so far and really enjoyed the flavors and ease of preparation. As one reviewer noted, lightly dust the fish with flour before cooking, adds a crunch element and holds the fish together better. If you don't have the cookbook, the recipe is on Epicurious.
re: sophia519
Ah, this one I've made MANY times from epicurious and I absolutely love it. So easy and lots of flavor. Totallly agree with a light dusting of flour (wonder if i was the original epi reviewer who mentioned that ... kind of funny).
re: LulusMom
yep, one of our favorites too from epi though I really don't like tilapia anymore...but that's a great recipe!!!
re: sophia519
Not a big fan of tilapia, but made this tonight for a gorgeous striped bass fillet. Delightful. Yet another flavored butter I'll be keeping on hand in the freezer for last minute preparations.
re: sophia519
Pan-Seared Tilapia with Chile Lime Butter
A local grocery store had a sale recently for packages of flash-frozen tilapia filets - buy one, get two free. Checked out EatYourBooks.com, and found this recipe. I don't usually like tilapia because it's so bland but the spicy citrus flavor of this butter was perfect and the dish took just minutes to put together. I used Sophia's tip of dusting with flour, and for the butter used one red Thai chili with seeds, lime zest and juice, shallots, and Penzey's shallot salt. E's son happened to stop by in time for dinner and he had seconds. I served it with roasted carrots with a butter/brown sugar/orange marmalade glaze, and Crash Hot Potatoes http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/742088

Oven-fried Panko Chicken Half recipe (page 297) http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
Recipe consists of pantry staples (chicken, panko, cayenne, salt, pepper and butter) and makes a quick dinner. One seasons the panko with salt, pepper and cayenne. The chicken (bone in chicken breast in my case) is smeared with butter (unsalted butter, seasoned with salt and pepper), then covered with the seasoned panko and bake at 450 for 30-40 minutes and then left to cool on a rack for 5-10 minutes to crisp. The recipe calls for a whole stick of butter on a whole chicken – yikes! I just seasoned some room temp unsalted butter with salt and pepper and smeared it on the chicken lightly. I suspect more butter would have added a richer flavor, but the chicken browned just fine as I did it. The chicken was moist and the crumbs were crisp, but the flavor was a little bland. I would say good for a pseudo-healthy and quick dinner, but it would need some dressing up to really impress. I think adding more seasoning to the bread crumbs would add more flavor to the dish and maybe even some buttermilk or brine to make it even juicier, but that would take away from how quick the recipe was. Overall solid and would make again with some tweaking.
re: BigSal
Epicurious has an oven-fried chipotle chicken that I just love. I usually let it sit overnight in the chipotle/mayo mix, and then just use regular (canned) bread crumbs and it is delicous and stays really moist.
re: LulusMom
Thanks for mentioning the recipe. Sounds like a must try.
re: BigSal
My pleasure. I hope you like it. I make it fairly regularly. Here is the link:
re: LulusMom
I just made it today and boy was it good! My mouth is still humming from the chipotle (in a pleasant way). The chicken (thighs) was so moist and flavorful. Easy to make and all the ingrediients are pantry staples. Thanks again for sharing.
re: BigSal
I'm so glad to hear you liked it as much as we do! I do love that chipotle zing.
re: BigSal
Thanks for reporting on this BigSal. It's on my To-Make list but I intend to use bone in with skin leg and thigh pieces from the farm. Upping the seasoning makes sense and I'll do just that. Thinking about it, adding smoked paprika along with a little more cayenne to the butter seasoning might be the thing.
re: BigSal
Funny--this recipe immediately reminded me of a baked crushed cornflake chicken I make as a healthier substitute for fried chicken, though I cut back on the butter and use a little canola oil (for dietary reasons, not flavor reasons). I also throw in a little turmeric because I like that it makes the cornflake chicken seem more golden.
re: BigSal
Big Sal: I often use chicken parts and panko crumbs for a quick dinner. I usually dip the chicken in egg that's been whipped up a bit, and then into the panko crumbs. I always season the crumbs heavily, sometimes using garlic, thyme and chopped parsley and s&p, sometims chili powder, garlic, s&p; and sometimes Indian spices rubbed onto the chicken and also tossed with the panko crumbs. Served with a raita-like cuke yoghurt dip or a tartaresque sauce, or just lemon juice squeezed directly onto the crisp chicken nugget.
We have variations of this basic dish at least once a week. With a big green salad and, if you want more starch, some rice pilaf-type thing, it's a quick and deelish dinner.
re: oakjoan
Thank you. I think those changes would make the dish more flavorful, even for a quick weeknight meal. Will have to try.
re: BigSal
My second attempt at this turned out much better thanks to some of the ideas from Gio and oakjoan. I added fresh thyme, minced garlic and a little paprika to the butter this time and it did the trick. I'd make this again with the additional seasonings.
re: BigSal
Oven-fried Panko Chicken Half recipe (page 297)
I made this the other night and liked it a lot. I had defrosted a chicken breast and I had planned to roast it since I thought it was a bone in, skin on breast. Post defrost and after I unwrapped it, I saw that it was a giant boneless skinless breast and decided to do a quick dry brine while I decided how I was going to use it.
For the panko, I added more cayenne then called for. I wish I had read the posts because the paprika would have also been great. I also added fresh sage and pepper. I didn't add salt since I had already salted the chicken. For the butter, I used one tablespoon for the entire breast. This part was the hardest, getting the butter to smear on. But, I persevered and then added the panko.
Unfortunately for me, I spaced when I put the breast into the oven. I cooked it for the full 40 minutes even though that's what the recipe called for bone in chicken parts. But, it didn't dry out too much (I think the dry brine really saved it) and the panko did crisp up nicely.
Great easy pantry ready dinner.
Scallops with mushrooms and sherry (p. 362).
This has been a favorite around here since it first appeared in Gourmet. I use regular button mushrooms bought already sliced and it comes together very quickly. I like serving it over sauted spinach, and soaking up the juices with a baguette. The minced shallots really add a nice little crunch to it, but I'm sure you could use onions in a pinch.

Gallery: Spiraling 'Evolver' Viewing Platform Soars Above the Alps
Spiraling a total of 720 degrees around, the Evolver takes visitors through a series of arches that wind up around and down, offering a stunning view of the surrounding scenery. As you walk inside the wooden structure the panorama evolves, rises and falls, opening up new views with each step. In total, 24 round wooden frames make up the bones of Evolver, while wooden slats add structure and support.
Located next to the Lake Stelli at 2536 m (8,320 ft), Evolver serves as both a destination, an activity. and a pavilion for visitors to the Zermatt area looking to take in nature. It is beautifully constructed – a simple building made from a single material. The limited views offered by the structure are not meant to detract from the scenery, but instead help the viewer focus their attention on distinct areas.

Lets see is I have this right……..Man goes out into the middle of the beauty of nature.builds ( ugly I might add ) a man made structure so we can enjoy the natural view it is occupying….? What a deal.Sounds like our congress.

SPIRAL of goodness & wooden DESIGN complexity! This CREATION makes you want to hang out — and IN.
From Page: "Evolver is an architectural artefact intervening on the panorama surrounding Zermatt. It was designed and executed by a team of 2nd year students from the ALICE Studio at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. In an effort to take full advantage of the site's extensive and astounding views, the project sits strategically next to the lake Stelli at an altitude of 2,536 m (8,320 feet).
Evolver's structure mainly consists of a succession of 24 rotating frames supporting an enclosed space that visitors are encouraged to enter. As he or she progresses through the space, a concealed but uninterrupted 720° movement is unraveling along a transformed panorama.
This transformation occurs while inside a person is moving along a selective string of openings only to be caught peeling off a sequence of unexpected views from the original landscape.
Wobbling below and above a distant horizon, ground and sky have been reorchestrated into an orbiting panorama by a journey that has already culminated to where it started: A loophole on the skyline."

I agree. What can be more beautiful than nature itself?
September 24, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Sorry but that is a rather ugly structure to
mar such serene natural surroundings – how about
just standing outdoors to take in the unmatched 360
degree view! Sad!

Apples are slow cooked with brown sugar and spices for hours, caramelized to make this sweet thick dark apple preserve.
It's late autumn in New York, the air is crisp, the leaves are falling off the trees and apple season is nearing it's end. A great way to preserve those apples for the winter months is to make apple butter. You can jar this to preserve for later use or you can refrigerate to use right away.
Apple butter is great on pancakes, biscuits, oatmeal, as a condiment, with pork, or you can bake with it. I'm looking forward to trying this grilled turkey, brie and apple butter sandwich from Tyler Florence with my leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Doesn't that sound amazing!
What's your favorite way to use apple butter?
Servings: 16 • Serving Size: 2 tablespoons • Old Points: 1 pt • Points+: 3 pts
- 2.5 lbs (6 large) apples, peeled, cored, finely chopped (I used honeycrisp and gala)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
Place the apples in a slow cooker. Top with sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg and mix well.
Cover and cook on low 10 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and dark brown.
Uncover and puree with an immersion blender. Cook on high uncovered 1-2 hours.
Spoon into sterile jars, or containers and refrigerate.
Makes 2 cups.

Something I'm looking into:
ZAG enzyme (zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein) which per Cordain:
There is an enzyme called ZAG that normally dissolves the proteins holding together skin cells lining the pore, so that they can flake away and not block the pore. But there is exciting new evidence showing that components of certain foods enter the bloodstream and inhibit ZAG, thus causing the skin cells lining the pore to stick together and thereby block the pore.
I had a link the a pdf of the book, but I guess they figured out their mistake. If you google T'he dietary cure for Acne pdf', you'll find places you can download it. And there's a link to a study showing the relationship between ZAG and exfoliating skin cells in one of the posts below.
Also, definition found elsewhere: an enzymatic protein found in body fluids including sweat.
The main role of zincalpha2glyco-protein is breaking down lipids accumulation so it doesn't only work in the body to prevent the pore blockage but might used by the body to burn visceral fats while sparing muscles or lowering tryglicerides levels in diabetic subjects
Ok, so he says those 'certain foods' that inhibit ZAG are lectins, anti-nutrient proteins found in all kinds of seeds. Cordain of course considers all legumes and grains to be inedible evils, but especially wheat, peanuts and soy. But I haven't found anything but Cordain's word that ZAG is inhibited by lectins.
And elsewhere, he says:
Again naming only the lectins from those three seeds.
Common dietary lectins from whole wheat (WGA), peanuts (PNA) and soybeans (SBA) impair the action of one of the glycosidase enzymes, known as zinc alpha (2) glycoprotein or ZAG.
This enzyme normally acts to dissolve three of the remaining proteins in
corneocyte desmosomes: Dsg1, Dsc1 and corneodesmosin. However, when
you eat lots of whole wheat, peanuts, soy based food products and other
legumes, their respective lectins (WGA, PNA and SBA) get into keratinocytes
and corneocyte lamellar bodies and bind zinc alpha (2) glycoprotein and prevent
it from getting its job done.
However, this article, not by Cordain, names wheat, peanuts, kidney beans and soy beans as most problematic, while others like broad beans (lima) not so much. And that soaking and sprouting destroy all to most lectins. And:
In wheat, gliadin, a component of gluten and an iso-lectin of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), is capable of activating NF kappa beta proteins which, when up-regulated, are involved in almost every acute and chronic inflammatory disorder including neurodegenerative disease, inflammatory bowel disease, infectious and autoimmune diseases.1 WGA needs more recognition as an important dietary problem. Scientific literature shows that dietary lectins can dramatically reduce natural killer (NK) cell activity directly and through disruption of intestinal flora. Natural killer cells are one of the body's most important defenses against viruses and other invaders.
In many people, lectins found in lentils, green peas, corn, potatoes but especially wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), are known to bind to the insulin receptor giving the fat cell the same message that insulin gives, namely to make fat. The lectin, however, due to a lack of feedback inhibition, remains indefinitely attached to the receptor giving the cell a constant message to make fat.20-25 This perhaps explains why many weight loss programs that include a moderate-to-high amount of carbohydrate (especially modern grain) fail....One other point with regard to lectin contribution to weight gain is the fact that WGA has been shown to block digestive hormones. WGA can bind to the receptor for cholecystokinin (CCK), a hormone involved in appetite control, suppressing its function.26-27 This essentially leads to an increase in appetite and impairment in the release of digestive enzymes.
Note: There are many kinds of lima beans, btw, and if you soak properly and cook with garlic, onions and a little salt, taste absolutely nothing like those awful things they fed us in school. Onions are high in methionine/cysteine which are the aminos legumes are limited in, btw. I've been buying giant Peruvian lima beans and they are delicious. Throw in some greens such as spinach or collards at the end of cooking. They are also high in methionine to complete the protein
I glanced through Sally Fallon's book to see what the Weston Price people had to say about lectins since they are all about soaking grains, nuts, legumes or any other seed, but they seem to just be about the phytates. And if you search the Westonprice.org site for lectins, all that comes up is their anti-vegetarian and anti-soy rants. But if you want info on soaking legumes, grains and other seeds, westonprice.org and/or Fallon's book are good sources.
I also saw some reference to digestive enzymes that break down proteins being helpful breaking down lectins. Like proteases. I'm looking into which proteases, but searches on lectins turn up so much research about cancers that I don't care to read through.
Note be sure to check out page 4-5 or so for lists of food sources for glyconutrients that bind up lectins. And for as many traditional dishes we could think of that consist of combinations of the high lectin-containing food and the glyconutrient containing food.
And see also this link for more information about Hyperkeratinization and Hyperproliferation of skin cells: http://www.acne.org/...p...t&p=2580171

Whitney Houston Auction: Singer's Bustier Sells for Staggering Sum — Photo
A posthumous auction of the late Whitney Houston's clothing, jewelry and accessories brought in huge earnings at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles on Saturday (March 31). Most notably, a bustier worn by Whitney was auctioned off for a whopping $18,750!
The elaborate, sequine
