Dreaming Spies, by Laurie King
Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, return for their thirteenth adventure (which, chronologically speaking, takes place between seventh and eighth books in the series, The Game and Locked Rooms, respectively). On their way from India to San Francisco in 1924, Russell and Holmes encounter a missing woman on a cruise ship and a nobly-born British blackmailer who had previously escaped Holmes. Soon, they're working with a family of Japanese ninjas to avoid a major embarrassment—and a serious diplomatic incident—for Prince Hirohito, the heir to the empire of Japan.
Witty and well-paced, fans of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes will find much to enjoy in this novel, which fills in a once-missing gap in the adventures of this detective duo. While Dreaming Spies references other incidents in the series, it can easily be read alone.
The Kitchn Cookbook by Sara Kate Gillingham and Faith Durand
If you've never checked out Apartment Therapy's website (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/), you definitely need to ASAP! It is one of my favorite websites for home design inspiration, tutorials, and daydreaming about possibilities for future living spaces. The Kitchn, their sister website, focuses on delicious, attainable dishes as well as kitchen organization and storage. You can tour some seriously enviable kitchens on their site (http://www.thekitchn.com/).
Anyway, I was ecstatic to finally get my hands on The Kitchn Cookbook and drool over the delicious recipes and beautiful photographs before trying some out for myself. There's no shortage of cookbooks with beautiful photography, but I like to rate cookbooks based on the achievability of their recipes. I'm no novice in the kitchen, but there are some recipes that I just don't have time for (or patience, or, let's be honest, the money to shell out on super specific ingredients that will take up covetable space in my tiny galley kitchen). The Kitchn Cookbook has great recipes with ingredients you probably already have in your cupboard and spice rack. The recipes are straightforward, concise, and teach you how to set up your space in order to work the most efficiently. Definitely worth checking out if you are a total food geek like me!
The Girls of Atomic City by Denise Kiernan
What were the girls of Atomic City working on? Thousands of young women seeking jobs poured into the newly built industrial complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. They were sworn to secrecy about their new lives at Oak Ridge. All they knew was they were working with a product called tubealloy that was part of the "Project" to build the "Gadget". It was all classified but everyone was happy because they had work and were being well paid.
Then on August 6, 1945, the Oak Ridge workers learned what their efforts had wrought: the explosion of the "Gadget"—the first atomic bomb. Detonated over Japan to end World War II, the "Gadget" announced to the world that the Atomic Age had arrived. Fans of World War II will enjoy this book about the young women who helped the war effort by working to develop the first atomic bomb.

A Milwaukee man said he doesn't know what came over him when he grabbed a teenager's head and forced it toward a trash bin after she failed to recycle a bottle April 18, according to a city of Brookfield police report.
According to the report:
The 76-year-old man confronted a 13-year-old girl in the food court at Brookfield Square Mall after he saw her toss a glass bottle into a garbage can just before 1 p.m.
The girl told officers that the man grabbed the back of her head and forced her toward the trash can, telling her to dig it out so it could be recycled.
She also said he asked her where she went to school before leaving the food court.
Police were called and arrested the man at a bus stop outside the mall.
Following his arrest, the man was "apologetic" and said he didn't know what had come over him.
After considering citing the man for battery, an officer wrote him a ticket for disorderly conduct because the teen was uninjured in the confrontation.

The Space
P(website hidden) Lodge is a 1930's hardwood building with heaps of character.
The sweeping, golden P(website hidden) Roof and the history of Imperial Chinese treasures inspired us to decorate the Lodge with a touch of Asia-Pacific and an historical "expatriate" flavour. Imagine being an expatriate China hand in the 30's!
There are distinctive baskets, weavings, paintings, textiles and wall hangings. The often antique furniture and old travel trunks tell their own story and have been blended with interesting Pacific and Maori decor.
The beds, however, are modern and comfortable and there is satellite TV in most units.

The Neighborhood
The creative tropical gardens and park like grounds go down to the edge of the river. We are surrounded by horses and luxury properties on one side and a river and famous, historic reserve and on the other side.

Great kayaking on the river and we have a private jetty.

We stayed 2 nights in the Pagoda Lodge and really liked it. Although the weather was very bad, we enjoyed our stay. The lodge was very well maintained and Zach was very helpful whenever we needed him. I can only advise everyone to stay in this beautiful place!
Our stay at Pagoda Lodge was enjoyable. The hosts gave generous suggestions on where to go/what to see.
Stephen was very helpful throughout our entire stay, and we had a great time staying at Pagoda Lodge. The garden was beautiful and had a lot of wild chickens and ducks running about, which made the mornings a lot of fun. The lodge itself was beautiful and well equipped with a lot of natural element to it. The only one drawback that we felt was that the bathroom door did not have a lock, and led to a few mishaps during the early mornings, but other than that, everything else was perfect. The town of Kerikeri had a lot to offer, with stores being reasonably nearby. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking to book this place!
Awesome place, clean and perfect location. The surroundings, activities and the garden are great and very well maintained.
Very good experience, definitely recommend Pagoda Lodge.
The host was great, provided all the information we needed without too much detail. We stayed in one of the pagoda rooms, beautifully decorated and met all of our requirements.
Very friendly and welcoming. We got some great tips on what to do in the area from Stephen and were shown around the beautiful property. Very peaceful grounds with river access for swimming and taking a kayak for a paddle. The accommodation was cosy with an outdoor eating area and a deck. Perfect place to relax. Good value. The grounds are very spacious and there are different kinds of accommodation on the like permanent tents and gypsie caravans and also a lawn for pitching a tent.
Excellent accueil de la part de Stephen qui s'est montré un hôte attentif , toujours disponible . Environnement très zen . Logement charmant et très agréable dans le Pagoda Lodge. Jacques

About the Host, Stephen
The owners, Kathy and Stephen Frewen, spent more than 20 years in Asia and were immediately drawn to the harmonious balance of "earth, wind and water". The pagoda roofs, the variety of rare and mature trees, the tranquil river and the abundant bird life all create a certain magic, now enhanced by the serene Buddhas from Borobudur.

Colombo: West Indies captain Darren Sammy hailed Sunday's World Twenty20 triumph, their first world title in 33 years, as the start of a new golden chapter for Caribbean cricket.
"This is just the start, we will go far," Sammy said, after the 36-run victory over Sri Lanka in a dramatic final in Colombo.
The West Indies, restricted to 137-6 after electing to bat, hit back to bowl the hosts out for 101 in front of 35,000 spectators at the Premadasa stadium that included Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapakse.
It was the first world title for the West Indies since the 50-over World Cup triumph under Clive Lloyd in 1979, although they won the invitational Champions Trophy in England in 2004.
Sammy's men handed Sri Lanka their fourth defeat in a major final since 2007.
"This is the start of something special for the West Indies team and the fans back home," said Sammy.
"I will always cherish this moment. The team has been through a lot in the past few years, but there was belief amongst us that we could win the World T20.
"Today we were down and out, but our never-say-die attitude came out. We expected Sri Lanka to come hard at us and they did, but we never gave up and that helped us win."
Sammy said people back home will celebrate the win wildly because they had craved for years for a success like this.
"From Jamaica to Guyana the party must have started," he said. "And I tell you we know how to party. I am sure they will need a lot of bartenders out there tonight."
Sammy showered praise on middle-order batsman Marlon Samuels, who engineered the victory with a superb 78 off 56 balls that included six sixes and three boundaries.
"He has been brilliant in this tournament and lived up to our expectations," said Sammy of Samuels, who served a two-year-ban from 2008 to 2010 for alleged links with bookmakers.
Samuels' brilliant strokeplay, which earned him the man of the match award, helped the West Indies add 105 runs in the last 10 overs after they were reduced to 32-2 from the first 10.
T20 title will revive West Indies: Sammy

which they had lots of fun, and, seeing this, Bunker and some of the older boys made up a larger show. They gave that in two tents, one of which had belonged to Grandpa Brown when he was in the army.
The Brown children were so delighted with the shows that they decided to have another, and in the third book, named "Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Playing Circus," you may read how they did it. Something happened in that book which made Bunny and Sue feel bad for a while, but they soon got over it.
In the next book, "Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Aunt Lu's City Home," I told the story of the two children going to the big city of New York, and of the queer things they saw and the funny things they did while there.
Bunny and Sue had played together as long as they could remember. Bunny was about six or seven years old and Sue was a year younger. Wherever one went the other was always sure to be seen, and whatever Bunny did Sue was sure to think just right. Every one in Bellemere knew Bunny and Sue, fr

Cheap room, good service from the front desk staff
Bed was hard, pillows were too spongy
Staff was disrespectful.
Staff was very friendly, especially in the kitchen. It was nice having fruit and cookies whenever you wanted. Don't understand why the hotel has some bad reviews. The double queen suite was great for our party of 5.
No free weights or weight machines in the exercise room. How gps tells you to get there thru a dollar general employee parking lot!
Good service at the check-in desk and the free continental breakfast was better than average.
The carpet in our room needed cleaning. It did not smell clean.
Roomy with a comfortable bed. Staff was very friendly!
It wasn't as clean as it should have been.
It had a refrigerator and microwave in the room. They had a decent breakfast each morning. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable.
The doors are on the outside, not the inside. There was mold in the shower. The room had a damp feel to it (but it was very humid outside).
Clean and simple. Kids likes the pool. Nice breakfast.
Overpriced for amenities and area. Indoor Pool area so hot. Not enjoyable for a parent watching a child at all.
The staff. Very friendly and helpful.
Guests staying near me were loud late at night
Thde place was good nice staff, easy to find, great pool and nice lobby.The only problem was it was not clean as it should have been. There was thick dust on the end tables showing it had not even been wipped off in a long while,
I think the price of breakfast was crazy as so many hotels offer the same stuff for free
I love this hotel it's in the cut & quiet!! The pool was clean & cold!! I didn't eat breakfast BC I didn't know if it would be crowded! I love the glass shower & the King Size bed!! This is my second time staying & the first time I came back in June they didn't have as many cable stations as they have now, so they've upgraded & I would stay again!! Lebanon outlet is 20 minutes away & Opry Mills is not far! Also ate at the Cheesecake Factory at the Green Hills Mall overall great trip
I liked everything!!
Staff was very friendly
TV had more stations then I've ever seen in hotels
Back entrance worked perfectly
Location was next to the interstate, close to downtown
Lots of places to eat in the area
Microwave & refrigerator in the room
Bed wasn't great, a bit worn
Column in room took away space
Breakfast was small; truly conteninental
This is a nice hotel but far from everything. The building is well built and floors are quiet. Unlike other hotels like the Holiday Inn Express you could not hear anything in the room. Many of these other hotels, you could hear the thumping from others walking in the hallway, the rooms next door or above. Not at the Hyatt Place.
They had a bar downstairs which was very convenient. And, we ordered a small pizza and desert...both were good.
I also liked that there was a comfy sectional in the room and the tv on the wall could be turned to the sofa area or the bed.
The room could have been cleaner. The sink in the wet bar area was dirty and the shower area could have been cleaned better.
Extremely cordial staff, met every need, extremely clean, quiet, loved that there were apples availables as a quick snack on the way out the door
It was very clean. The staff provided extra covers and pillows which was nice.
For the price, I wish that it would had at least a Jacuzzi or even better a hit tub. It was a little pricey for basically a room, tv, microwave and refrigerator.
Great price, clean room, friendly and helpful staff.
Some of the clientele were scary (loitering around the office and parking lot, talking loudly). My teenage daughter and I were traveling together and we felt vulnerable at times.
The neighbors were allowed to scream and fight at all hours of the day.
They have a friendly staff and decent facilities. It is the best weekday value within 15 miles of Nashville.
It isn't the best location or the best facility. The breakfast is a poor excuse.
Hotel staff was great! We had some antson our floor and management was very quick to take care of the problem! Will stay again for sure!
No free breakfast
Staff did not know how to check us in, key would not work in our door, air conditioner units was beneath our window needed repaired, could not sleep because of the racket they made all night long.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

completes the major work of that cycle. After your 9 Personal Year,
your next year begins again with 1.
Personal years are in effect from January 1 through December 31,
of each year, regardless of when your birthday occurs in the year.
Find your WEEKLY FORECAST according to your PERSONAL YEAR.
To find your PERSONAL YEAR for 2015:
Add your MONTH and DAY of birth to 2015.
For example, if your birthday is November (11th month) 24th,
Month + Day + 2015 = Personal Year
1 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 5 = 16 = 1 + 6= 7
Personal Year in 2015
Find your own Personal Year below and read your weekly forecast
Personal Year 1 Potential for Navigating New Waters, Finding
a New Shore; Beginning of a new Nine-year Cycle or Phase; Urge to Try
New Things; Opportunity
Personal Month 2 Time to flow downstream; enjoy friendships and
feather your nest; potential for important relationships; desire for
DREAMING. Changes in the season may bring a touch of physical
lassitude or weariness that affects your ability to fully focus on
tasks (especially ones you don't want to do!) You may find yourself
forgetting things, or going back over your purse, pockets, desk, or
the trunk of your car looking for an item. A project that you would
like to see go forward could be temporarily stalled. Despite minor
glitches, your desire to connect with people is especially strong.
Be aware of how absorbed you have become in your social media
connections. Be aware of any tendencies to placate or give in to
people that are draining you. When possible keep your schedule a
little more light and delay making firm commitments. Job seekers may
encounter a lull. Don't fall into self-criticism about not being
good enough or focused enough. Your ONE Personal Year is helping you
to make advances, but this week may not be the time to force
anything. Because of your TWO vibration which rules intuition, a
woman may be helpful in your job search this week. You could have fun
working with your spouse or partner on a collaborative
project.--having a nightly mini-film festival with your favorite
stars, gardening, organizing the garage, or repainting the living
room. If your partner balks at accompanying you to a social
function, don't take it personally. However, if he or she does go
with you, both of you could wind up having a good time. Potential
for pregnancy is increased for seeking to start a family. If single
and dating, you may be enjoying someone's company more than you
realize. In general, be extra patient with yourself and others. When
delays appear, make use of the time for yourself. FOCUS: Be
diplomatic; everything in moderation.
Personal Year 2 A Year When Connections and Associations are
Growing and Helping You Succeed; Issues Require Patience and
Optimism; Love and Partnership are Highlighted
Personal Month 3 A month when you have reasons to feel happier;
busier schedule; informal get-togethers; friendships bring news
and/or joy; urge for a creative outlet; vacation
GOOD FORTUNE. This week could bring a nice surprise. You find
yourself willing to be a bit more spontaneous. Last-minute changes
could alter your usual routine. Something new could enter your home
or workplace. For some, this THREE vibration could bring more free
time or even a lay-off if conditions are already unstable where you
work. However, changes usually bring a pleasant surprise. Your
financial condition tends to be on the upswing. You might have a
little extra income through friends, new contacts, or creative
projects. Casual conversations could stimulate new directions.
Business could move forward unexpectedly at a social function—dinner,
lunch, or a sports event. If seeking work send out lots and lots of
resumes—do something to make yourself stand out from the crowd (in
a professional way!) Write a thrilling description of your ideal
position. Visualize yourself in the situation. If looking for
romance this tends to be an excellent month for falling in love,
getting pregnant, or going on vacation with your lover. THREE wants
you to enjoy life—it suddenly seems very short, doesn't it? If a
friend is having a hard time, be supportive. You may even enjoy
helping someone move; however, avoid getting over-tired (or drinking
too much—since THREE does love to party.) FOCUS: Looking for the
positive; travel; making new plans.
Personal Year 3 A Year for Personal Growth, Artistic Express,
Lifestyle Improvements; Time to be More Spontaneous, Active, Healthy,
and Explore New Things; Social Life and Romance Highlighted
Personal Month 4 A time for planning and practical decisions;
desire to get fit physically and financially; beginning to see good
results; birth of a project
THINK ABOUT IT: While at times your THREE Personal Year may have
seemed to be a bit of a wild ride, this month requires you to deal
with reality—especially anything you have been putting off. For
some, a weather change this week could make your mood a little dark.
You may have to rearrange travel plans for practical reasons, but in
the long run it works out better than you had thought. Events
require being business-like now. A new project may pile on more
work, so don't promise a too-tight deadline. Delegate a task that
really isn't your thing. If searching for a job, keep putting one
foot in front of the other. There may be obstacles that force you to
rethink or regroup, but you wind up being much better off down the
road. Redo your resume. You might be offered something temporary
that delightfully pays the bills. For those in relationship,
conflicting goals could become apparent when discussing children,
money, property, or health measures. However, you aren't likely to
break up over whatever it is that's bothering you both. If single
and looking, get more focused in your search for friendship first,
and let love takes its course. In general, due to THREE'S urge to
live in the moment, it's best to avoid too many impulsive purchases
for awhile. You may even decide to cut back on binging on your
favorite substance. FOCUS: Practicality. How could you make your
schedule tomorrow easier or simpler? How about pancakes and bacon
for dinner?
Personal Year 4 A Year to Get More Focused on Achieving a
Goal; Tendency to Make Practical Decisions; Looking Ahead to the
Future and What You Want; Building, Repair, Health Concerns
Personal Month 5 A month when potentially unstable conditions
or conflicting goals require flexibility; surprises, arguments,
uncertainty, busy schedule, desire to be free of a condition
RUSHING. Your FOUR Personal Year so far has probably encouraged
you to take a conservative or cautious approach to life. However,
this first week of October could have your rethinking everything.
Market forces or a new idea could be pulling your life or your career
in a new direction. Stay in the present and be prepared to jump
quickly and multi-task. Whatever is happening, the pace seems faster.
For some, business-related travel is highly likely. If so, travel
light, but don't forget your briefcase. Back up your data, just in
case. A new project may seem speculative, but worth pursuing if key
factors are nailed down. If the facts are sound, it will happen when
the time is right. Job seekers may be surprised at at meeting (or
hearing about) someone they know through a job interview. Be ready
to travel or change directions. Couples may be too busy to do much
but blow kisses in passing. A difference of opinion or demanding
financial problem could stir up old issues. Don't make decisions in
the heat of the moment. If single and looking, it's time for
social life, and no excuses. An unexpected invitation is fun. Don't
have unprotected sex! In general, despite your need to focus
carefully now, it's also important to take breaks during the day.
Enjoy any little surprises that come your way. FOCUS: Change, action,
risk, and new directions.
Personal Year 5 A Year to Explore (or Act on) New Directions;
Events Could be Game-Changers This Year; Bold Moves; Desire for
Freedom, Action, Better Health
Personal Month 6 Likely increase in things to do; may be
advising, teaching, or caring for friends and family; feelings of
pressure about outstanding obligations; desire to refresh living
situation or change schedule in home life; health changes
INVENTIVENESS. Your dynamic FIVE Personal Year is likely to be
throwing possibilities your way. However much as you'd like to take
off for Tahiti or Tibet, your current situation probably keeps you
thinking about a mortgage, college expenses, or health issues. Some
area of your immediate situation could bring worries about money or
how to juggle personal desire with outside demands. If working, this
week or month could bring extra duties or more contact with
customers. You may have to fill in for a co-worker. While the Fall
weather may stimulate dreams of a new situation, your innate caution
(or family responsibilities) makes it more likely that you opt for
maintaining the status quo. With the influence of your more cautious
SIX vibration, you may tend to feel more conservative or re-think a
recent decision. Job seekers may find part-time work like catering
or tending bar or even driving a golf cart! Short term jobs could be
fun and unexpectedly profitable. You may decide to sign up for a
night class. With the loving, committed SIX vibration, an engagement
or wedding might be in order for you or a friend. You could be
feeling that it's time to pay a visit to your relatives—or
introduce that person you've been dating to your parents—or meet
theirs. If your FIVE Personal Year has brought uncertainty, security
is becoming more appealing. On the other hand, if you have been stuck
but restless, you may continue to delay a decision this month. If
single and looking, it's time to get serious if you really want
that companion in your life. What is the first step toward that
goal? If you have been feeling a bit run-down, perhaps it's time
for a physical checkup. When visiting a relative, take something
special to share. There may even be a synchronicity or coincidence in
what you decide to bring. Avoid giving advice unless someone asks for
it. FOCUS: Changes in marriage, home, or family.
Personal Year 6 A Year of Many Rewards; Commitments, and
Responsibility; Potential for Issues Regarding Marriage, Divorce,
Childbirth, Retirement, or Parental Obligations; Domestic Focus
Personal Month 7 Deep urge to stop and smell the roses; desire
for more rest, simpler lifestyle, de-cluttering; drawn to read,
write, research; may have a family secret emerge; learning a new
household skill; sharing expertise with others
EASE UP. Last month's busy chaos may be slowly settling down. You
may even have a little more free time, or just fewer people knocking
on your door. Some may even be feeling a bit bored at the moment.
Solitude gets you thinking ab out what else you could be doing (like
going home early from work, puttering in your garage, garden, or at
your hobby table. You desperately want to read all those books next
to your bed or on your tablet. On the other hand, some may encounter
a time out from work due to a temporary physical impairment or job
change. Job seekers should listen to their intuition very carefully.
To get moving toward a goal, spend 33 seconds a day visualizing
yourself in a scene enjoying the desired goal. If confused about
options, sit down and outline a brief "business plan" on paper or
your computer. Write out the questions on your mind, such as, "If
I were to take a class next month (for example, in adult education or
community college), which one would be the most interesting to me?"
"If I start the business with my sister, what is the first step?
or "What specific things need to happen before I paint the
bedroom?" Making your questions specific, helps you find ways to
get better information, which often helps you feel more in
control—and positive—and productive. If you have a partner, this
quiet SEVEN vibration may account for feeling distant or out of touch
with your loved one, especially if one of you is out of town on
business or attending to a relative. This week is a great time to
allow things to unfold without forcing a confrontation. When the
moment arrives, speak from the heart. If single, you like it that
way—at least for this month. You may put off an engagement while
you think things over. If you haven't had one this year, schedule
your annual physical check-up. Since SEVEN enjoys beauty, simplicity,
and order, you may find you can't resist cleaning up your living
space or garden area. Since SEVEN is always looking to understand
why things are the way they are, you may be drawn to spend more time
on the Internet this week. FOCUS: Everything happens for a reason.
Personal Year 7 A Year that Often Sets Off Internal Shifts
and Realizations; You Feel More Prone to Follow Your Intuition; May
be Looking for Something; Health Issues Require Expert Advice and
More than One Opinion; Desire for Simpler Life and Being Close to
Nature; Loneliness; Study; Spiritual Interests; Uncovering a Toxic
Personal Month 8 Pressure to make important decisions;
financial and legal matters require attention; may need to spend
money on large purchase; issues of justice and fairness; rising to a
higher level; success may be tinged with regret
TRUTH-TELLING. Your SEVEN Personal Year is a time to take stock of
your situation, and this week could bring surprise rewards that give
you pause for thought. Some will be considering an opportunity
offered by an acquaintance. Others will be wondering how to increase
income. For some, the answer lies in buying or selling property or
stocks and bonds. For some it may become obvious that a debt must be
paid soon. If working in a leadership position, business concerns
could keep you up at night. However, this period is generally
favorable to those who have a good foundation. Opportunities may have
finally bloomed. For many, this is the time to advance, invest, sell,
or upgrade your technology devices. You may also find just the right
experts who can help you move forward. If looking for work, this is a
good week to receive an interview or offer. It's possible the job
will include or require some kind of special training. In which
case, you are happy for the chance to learn something new. Romance
might have to take a back seat to your work schedule. If considering
marriage plans tend to become more costly; a small ceremony in nature
might seem appealing. Given your business-like mood at the moment,
you may opt to spend the money on the honeymoon or house down
payment. If single and interested, you may be sending little glances
to someone you work with. In general, take care of financial matters
in a clear-headed manner. Avoid letting angry feelings overrule your
good sense—and don't burn any bridges! FOCUS: Trust your first
impressions; be conservative in your response.
Personal Year 8 A Year of Potentially Significant
Achievement; a Sense of Knowing What you Want; Willingness to Work
Hard; Possible Issues with Law, Contracts, Business Hassles
Personal Month 9 A time for big blow-ups, exaggerated claims;
projects complete or come to a halt; some endings bring feelings of
generosity, gratitude, compassion, relief; release from old ties;
possible inheritance
LIBERATION. The momentum of this hard-working EIGHT year has in
some way been building up to this month. Events this week could have
you feeling philosophical and optimistic or even a little defiant.
Generally, the influence of a NINE Personal Month brings completion
to outstanding issues and feelings of satisfaction (possibly mingled
with a bit of sadness.) Despite one or two setbacks during the year,
you now tend to begin to feel acceptance and peace. NINE tends to
bring increased attention or more active energy to situations—for
example, things get blown out of proportion or feelings could get
hurt. If you spoke in haste to someone, perhaps you have an
opportunity this week to offer an apology to clear the air. Since
you are feeling like tightening up your ship now and squaring away
unfinished business, this could be the time to pay back a loan,
eliminate clutter (mental or physical), or finish items on your to-do
list. Job seekers may hear from a very large company or non-profit
organization. Remain positive, but don't expect a real offer until
at least next month (November or even February.) Delays could
actually be working in your favor. Since a NINE Personal Month
invites good solutions, release of burdens, and a philosophical
acceptance of the present moment, marriage or divorce issues could
arise. Those going through a divorce will likely reach an agreement
this month and be able to move on. Other couples may be taking a
long trip, working on their investment finances, or closing a real
estate deal. If single, you may be feeling like joining a group or
helping out in a community effort. Try not to worry about the future,
unless there is something in your control to do. Things are going to
change (for the better) soon. FOCUS: Get clear about your financial
picture. Think big and long-term.
Personal Year 9 End of an Era; Time to Think About What you
Have Gained and Lost; Urge to Let Go of the Past; Emotional Period;
Potential for Uncertainty or Making Hasty Decisions; May Say Goodbye
to Something Dear; Urge for Travel and World Service
Personal Month 1 A time for considering a move or new
direction; urge to explore something different; may have increased
options; time for self-confidence, courage, firmness
IMAGINATION. October brings the spring back into your step.
Despite a feeling that things have been leaving your life, don't be
surprised by an old idea or interest resurfacing. New possibilities
become more apparent now, as your mind is kind of "waking up."
More than once this year, you have probably thought about chucking it
all and retiring! However, over the next few weeks, you have renewed
energy to stay in the game. You are more likely now to take decisive
action. An obstacle may clear away this month. If you are
open-minded and alert to intuitive messages, you'll likely improve
your situation. Long-time job seekers may have begun thinking about
or training for a new type of career field. This week could give you
an inkling about where you want to be next year. Relationships could
take a new turn—generally for the better if the love is there. It's
important to be honest with your feelings as well as listen to the
other. On the other hand, if your relationship has been over for
awhile, this could be the time that allows you to move on. If so,
remember to honor the other person as a great teacher for you! If you
feel like getting married or moving in with someone, but have known
them for less than a year, wait to tie the knot until you know them a
little better. Take note of all new information coming in. There's
a lot of potential in the air right now. A new element might just
shift everything. FOCUS: Originality, independent thinking, and
being assertive.

William Tyler(active circa 1760-died 1801), Sculptor and architect
Sitter in 5 portraits
Tyler was a London-based sculptor who, in 1768, was one of three sculptors, along with Joseph Wilton and Agostino Carlini, to be included among the thirty-six founder members of the Royal Academy. Most of his work as a sculptor involved the production of modestly sized monuments, the most striking of which is the monument to the third Earl of Lichfield at Spelsbury, Oxfordshire. During the 1780s and 1790s, he worked as an architect. He designed the Ordnance office in Westminster (1779-80; demolished 1805) and the Villa Maria, Kensington (c.1800), commissioned by the Duke of Gloucester for his wife.

Expert review of Brown's
When Brown's opened in 1973 in an old garage on Woodstock Road, it was an informal place where students could eat and plates were refilled at no extra charge. The other draw was the brevity of the waitresses' mini-skirts. Now into its fourth decade, Brown's is an Oxford institution, a name "on a par with the Bodleian" according to the Good Food Guide. Prices have rocketed since the 1970s, putting Brown's firmly in the category of places where parents take their student offspring. It's also created its own small chain around the UK, always in stylish old buildings and always - with its large potted plants and brown and yellow painting work - immediately recognisable.
As well as the main menu, Brown's offers brunch and a pre-theatre menu. There are also 'varsity' and 'cathedral' menus available for large groups. For starters there is a good value meat platter and vegetarian platter.
Cocktails include Brown's own Champagne cocktail with Cointreau and Courvoisier and the Brown's bellini. The 'pre- and post-theatre" menu is good value at £10.95. And although I've never been to the Christmas Day £60 four-course feast, I know a lot of families who make it part of their annual celebrations.
I find it difficult to think about Brown's without noise and clatter. It's very much a "happening" place where the staff seem to be recruited for the buzz that they can contribute. That said, I have walked past some sunny mornings and seen people reading the papers in a very relaxed fashion, so it's quite likely the ambience shifts depending on when you go and what you are going for. Students living it up because their parents are paying might be noisier than north Oxford gents with their copy of the "Indie".
Browns used to be famous for the shortness of the skirts worn by its waitresses. I first came here in 1980 and was enchanted. These days Browns is much more of an equal opportunity employer and recruits handsome young men too.
Browns is part of "food corner" - an agglomeration of great places to spend money on food at the top of St Giles where the Woodstock Road begins. Its immediate neighbours are Patisserie Blanc and the twin Taylors either side of Little Clarendon Street.
I never get out without having paid around £40 per person, and that's excluding drinks. Of course these days I am the parent and my children are the students.
There are now six Brown's in London and seven around the UK, all located in historic buildings.

The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The poem is fundamental to the modern Western... More > canon, and is the second—the Iliad being the first—extant work of Western literature. It was probably composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly centers on the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses, as he was known in Roman myths) and his long journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed he has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.< Less

Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege, the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war and similar, tending to appear near the beginning, and the events prophesied for the future, such as Achilles' looming death and the sack of Troy, prefigured and alluded to more and more vividly approaching the end of the poem, making the poem tell a more or less complete tale of the Trojan War.< Less

Indian Ocean currents show debris is very likely from MH370
The ocean has coughed up a clue, but there is no playbook for what lies next.

A 17-million-year-old beaked whale fossil is helping researchers solve a puzzle about the likely birthplace of humanity in East Africa, a new study finds.
Geoscience Australia, the government organisation mapping the seafloor in search for the wreckage of MH370, has released a video and photos showing the underwater area it is exploring.
Now that the storm is inland, it is cut off from the warm waters of the Bay of Bengal, and is weakening. However, it is producing heavy rains as it does so, with flooding likely in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa during the next three days.

The "Indian Ocean Dipole" alters weather across the densely populated Indian Ocean Basin, leading to floods in India, drought in East Africa, and droughts and wildfires in Australia. A new study finds reason to worry about how global warming will alter this cycle.

Re: Staci's mom: new here, help please!, over hydration, resuming fluids
Expand Messages
- Thanks to all the responses of all:
I still feel stuck on what to do. Some of you say medicine, some say the needle. It's hard to push for something with my vet when I am not sure which one. Part of me just thinks the fluid will clear, as does my vet. Does anyone have more info to point me to on making this choice?
Thanks soooo much!
Take care,
Tami, Staci's mom
My name is Tami and I am writing you about my 20 year old orange fluffball named Staci. I am trying to figure out if I should be doing anything here about her over hydration. X-rays show fluid in her chest and abdomen. She also has a fluid pouch that appears and disappears. Her hind feet are larger than usual. The last fluids were given just over a week ago. My new vet (who I like), seems to think we just need to wait for the belly bloating to go down on its own. Should I consider pushing for meds or needle to get fluid out of chest and belly???
Her history:
-she has been doing pretty well after a crash in February where she came close to the end. Subqs saved her life. We had been doing 150ml of fluid daily since February. Not since April 23rd have we given fluids.
Recent bloating downturn:
-April 12th: started amlodipine
-April 19th: first full b-12 dose (.25 ml?)
-April 20th: overall decline in eating started, dry amount to almost nothing, canned the same at about 2oz per day, not enough
-April 23rd: last fluids given
-April 24th: belly bloating and retained fluid pouch noticed
-April 25th: X-ray and fluid analysis
-april 26th: lower amlodipine to 1/8th
-April 27th: started eating some dry, still decreased appetite in general, eats same canned as before 2oz daily, but hardly any of her previous 1/3 cup amount of dry
-april 28: increased eating dry to 1/6 cup per day, still lowered appetite
-April 29: decreased amlodipine to 1/16th pill
-April 30: appetite still up the last few days, but down from her usual, doing 1/6 cup dry and 2oz canned total eaten daily.
Recent history connections: I do not really like the Amlodipine. I feel that her breathing got heavier soon after starting it and right before a drop in eating and then the over hydration. I am not stating any certain causations, but I think the timeline is interesting. I am also trying to figure out if I will continue with b-12. She got that the day before the drop in eating. I have not heard of any negative connections, but am still wary and curious for feedback. She has also been constipated through this downturn. The last two days she has had two big poops per day, do that is not a concern, at least at the immediate moment.
Diagnosis: Staci is in stage 4 crf and has a galloping heart rhythym. She has not been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, but crf group members made it sound like if the cat retains fluids, they have heart failure, high blood pressure, went to 126 from 180 with amlodipine, anemic, high phosphorous
-Pepcid (10mg) 1/4 pill 1-2 times daily
-Amlodinpine (2.5mg)crumbs daily, down from newly started 1/4 pill daily
-Cerenia: (16mg?)1/4 pill 3 times per week
-Aloh: 1/2 tsp daily
Carafate: 0.5 ml daily
Miralax: 1/4 tsp 2xs per day
B-12: she got 1 full dose, (.25ml?) right before the recent bloated downturn, not getting now cuz no subqs given (anyone
Dr is looking into a drug called something like Banazaprene? Any feedback? It's supposed to be a light blood pressure med with crf benefits
Lifetime high: 13 lbs
One year ago: 8.5 lbs
This January before crash: 6.5 lbs
February crash: 5.0 lbs
March: 6.0
Doin good in Early April: 6.63
April first bloated: 7.3
April less bloating: 7.1
May 1st little less bloated: 6.5
I noticed the belly bloating the same day that she stopped absorbing fluids. She has had some "squishyness" since a week ago, even though no more fluids have been given in a week. Her fluid pouch seems to move and change. It was mostly on her left thigh for days, and then moved to her right side. Her butt, or high up between the thighs, has been the main place that her pouch has been the last week. Her hind legs are both bigger than usual. Before this last week, I never saw any fluids in her hind legs or butt area. Today the thighs have no fluids but there is a small belly fluid pouch and her hind feet are still big but not at their biggest.
So, 2 main questions:
1) should I be doing anything about the over hydration other than wait it out? Crf group members have mentioned meds or needle extraction, but my vet is not suggesting these.
2) When should we consider giving more fluids? Obviously, I won't if she has a fluid pouch. What if the foot just still looks a little bigger? What if the belly bloating hasnt gone away? It seems that the fluids in the chest are the biggest risk, is there anyway to get signs of the fluid levels in the chest other than another X-ray? How do we know when it is time for resuming fluids?
Thank you do much!
Tami, Staci's mom
[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
- Well Tami,
I just caught up on the list digest from 5/1, where I first read your post, and have been following Staci's story. My May is 21 and has crf as well as hcm. We were doing 100cc lrs eod, then went to daily at vet's advice which contributed to fluid overload last summer. So we stopped then resumed at 35cc twice a day and gradually went up to 45-50 twice a day.
In Feb she had fainting spells and some fluid on her heart, so we started daily lasix, 3mg, plavix, and benazepril. And went to 25cc lrs twice a day, plus some oral syringing of broth to total 50-65cc per day of fluid.
She is 3-4 crf stage.
I was concerned with starting benazepril as it can be bad for kidneys, so need to retest soon after starting. May's crea went up but not enough to cause major problems, and she's been stable til just yesterday...more to follow on that...
Anyway, what I can offer is that if you aren't yet using a syringe for lrs, it is a way to get the amount accurate. Trusting the level on a bag is not accurate for amounts ~25-50cc. I hate sticking her twice a day but it doesn't seem to bother her any more than normal. I got some 23g needles and that seems to be a good balance between size and time. (25cc doesn't take much time).
Benazepril lowers renal bp, not overall bp, though it can help with it. It is hard to get it right; kidney bp. May is on 1.25mg once a day of benazepril. I trusted out cardiologist (very good guy), and he says benazepril is very good for hcm.
Hope this helps and continued good luck with Staci.
-Lee and May
