The Las Vegas Sun is a Pulitzer-prize winning newspaper and one of two daily newspapers in Las Vegas. The paper has been owned and operated by the Greenspun family since its founding in 1950.
Since 2005 the Sun has been published under a Joint Operating Agreement with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, with the Sun running as an insert in the Review-Journal. Because of this arrangement the Sun has invested heavily in its website and in multimedia, backed by Greenspun Interactive, the online media division of the Greenspun Media Group.
In 2008 Greenspun hired Rob Curley, who had headed new media efforts at the Naples Daily News and Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive, to be editor for Greenspun Interactive and lasvegassun.com. After Curley's arrival the Sun put an emphasis on video, and in 2009 the company launched 702.tv, a twice weekly show for TV and the web that focused on news and culture. Four months after launch Greenspun cancelled the show, citing the bad economy.
In December 2010 the Greenspun Media Group announced it would be merging the advertising and other support staff across several properties as well as laying off employees.
In spite of staff reductions the Sun continued to innovate with its website in 2010, including a new online commenting policy requiring readers to verify their identity and the launch of Home News, a local news product that tailors stories for readers based on their zip code.
In 2010 the Sun was recognized by the Online News Association and Editor & Publisher for its special online series "Bottoming Out", about gambling addiction in Las Vegas.
U.S. News & World Report is an online consumer news magazine owned and edited since 1984 by real estate and publishing mogul Mortimer Zuckerman. U.S. News was formed in 1948 from a merger between a weekly newspaper called the United States News and a magazine called World Report. It was a newsweekly similar to Time…

Simply Outrageous! Very easy to make-great flavor-LOVE the crusty topping and soft? Yeah, these are soft and they rock! I will be using these rolls for Chick-Fil-A clone sandwichs tonight. The "sample" I tried was perfect warm with melted butter-this will be my new "go-to" sandwich roll recipe. I made 10 rather than 12, I wanted them a little bigger! Thanks for Posting!
These are just what they say they are-- easy and soft pretzel rolls! I followed the instructions and ingredients exactly and I had very good results. I will say that if you want the nice dark traditional pretzel color on these (see my photo) you might want to use egg yolk whisked with about a tablespoon of water and not the egg white. Also, these really are quite soft and fluffy with a delectable pretzel crust and not dense and chewy throughout like a soft pretzel or bretzel roll (bagel-like) you may have had overseas. While I enjoyed it very much, I found the texture does not really support the use of a lot of salt on the top to enhance the flavor. I would suggest to use a light hand, for decor only. I'd put half as much on mine next time. That said, it is an excellent and easy to follow recipe. Mine took the full 15 minutes to bake and darken properly. Thanks Codychop!
we love this recipe in our house! i have made it for dinner rolls, sandwich buns, and going to try making pretzel shapes for football sunday. my only adjustments have been to double it to make sure that everyone walks away happy.
I have been a lurker on this site for a year or so and I never joined; however, b/c of your recipe I decided that I would join to say thanks. I made the pretzels as you said and most turned out great. The few that I cooked too long did not plump b/c I did not follow directions. I will make this again in a variety of ways until I perfect it. Thanks!!! It was super easy.
I followed the recipe, they did NOT come together at all. I had to add a ton of flour resulting in a huge amount of dough. I'm hoping they will work out in the end but I'm skeptical.
7 cups of water 3 cups of flour? This makes great dough.
Easy is right, and so good. Used for pulled pork sandwiches, even the kids who insisted they didn't like either the pork or the bread ate the whole thing after only one bite. Love the salty, crusty outer crust with the soft center. I can think of so many things these rolls will be perfect with. They hold up well to the filling too
This recipe is wonderful!!! They did not last long in my house.I left the salt off & egg white and brushed butter on them when they came out of the oven.They were a little on the small size for sandwiches so next time I will make 8 instead of 12 rolls.I just love this recipe!!
This is the best I have come across, have been searching for a while and these are fantastic. The other recipes for pretzel buns came out too dense. This recipe is awesome. Thank you for posting!
Soft, chewy and slightly sweet with a beautiful looking crust. These come together very quickly - which is good because I ended up having to make a second batch on the first day I made them! I definitely recommend cooking them long enough to get that nice reddish brown crust - they are moist enough inside that you don't have to worry so much about overcooking them!

Scarlett Stevens, John Mariani and Dion Mariani are THE FLAIRZ, a 3 piece rock and roll band. The trio have been playing together for 5 months now and are causing quite a stir not just because they sound so good but because their average age is 10 ˝. They have already played with The Waifs and Little Birdy and as one fan points out, these kids are rocking.
BRENDAN HUTCHENS: (In a classroom) Scarlett Stevens, aged 11. John Mariani, aged 10. Dion Mariani, also aged 10. Three regular kids who spend quite a bit of time together.

in praise of anti-motion-blur
Sep 21, 2012
I'm a bit of an old-fashioned photographer, so I rarely use some of the new features on cameras today. But I had my NEX-C3 and kit lens with me on a trip with the kids to the park tonight, and when we came home we spotted an owl in the palm tree in our front yard. It was almost dark, and I knew the owl wouldn't wait for me to go inside and get faster glass. So I switched to anti-motion-blur as quickly as I could, zoomed to 55 and took this one shot. I was really startled when I looked at the LCD - the light in the picture looked about 30 minutes earlier than the actual daylight that was available.
Of course it's not a great photo, but it's a photo that I never would have gotten at all with most compact cameras.

- 1 1/2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1 6-ounce can chunk light tuna in water, drained and flaked (see Note)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Partially mash potatoes in a bowl with a fork until they begin to hold together. Add tuna, egg, salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon oil; stir to combine. Shape into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; add the patties and cook until browned on the first side, about 5 minutes. Carefully turn the patties with a wide spatula and cook until golden on the second side, about 3 minutes more.
Tips & Notes
- Note: Chunk light tuna, which comes from the smaller skipjack or yellowfin, has less mercury than canned white albacore tuna. The FDA/EPA advises that women who are or might become pregnant, nursing mothers and young children consume no more than 6 ounces of albacore a week; up to 12 ounces of canned light tuna is considered safe.

Linear projections for dimensionality reduction, computed using linear discriminant analysis (LDA), are commonly based on optimization of certain separability criteria in the output space. The resulting optimization problem is linear, but these separability criteria are not directly related to the classification accuracy in the output space. Consequently, a trial and error procedure has to be invoked, experimenting with different separability criteria that differ in the weighting function used and selecting the one that performed best on the training set. Often, even the best weighting function among the trial choices results in poor classification of data in the subspace. In this short paper, we introduce the concept of fractional dimensionality and develop an incremental procedure, called the fractional-step LDA (F-LDA) to reduce the dimensionality in fractional steps. The F-LDA algorithm is more robust to the selection of weighting function and for any given weighting function, it finds a subspace in which the classification accuracy is higher than that obtained using LDA

The New Providence School District is excited to announce an online data validation/student registration system for the 2016-17 school year, powered by InfoSnap. InfoSnap is a secure system which will allow parents to verify all student demographic, emergency and medical information for your child(ren) prior to the start of the new school year. In addition, the system will allow you to electronically sign annual permission forms and the acknowledgement of school district policies.This online process will replace all of the hard copy student registration and permission forms previously sent home on the first days of school.
In August, parents will receive an email from the District with instructions on how to access the system for your child(ren). The email will contain a secure "snapcode" that links directly to your student's information. Validating and updating student information will be simple and easy. If you do not have access to the Internet, please contact your child's school and you can make an appointment to use a school computer to complete the process. The District is excited to provide this new secure and "green" data validation/student registration system to our New Providence School District families.
If you have any questions, please contact Scott Hough the Assistant Superintendentof Educational Services at 908-464-9050 extension 222.

Scholastic Art & Writing Awards
We are pleased to announce that one of our students has earned a Silver Medal at the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of 2016. This student has been identified by panels of creative professionals as one of the most talented young artists in the nation. This year, nearly 320,000 works of art and writing were submitted. Only the top 1% were recognized at the national level.
Congratulations to Mr. Carell as New Providence High School Teacher of the Year! Thank you for all the wonderful things that he has done for our students and our high school community!
Lee Rubin Assembly
On Friday we were privileged to have an assembly by Mr. Lee Rubin, a professional speaker well-versed in the world of leadership. The theme of his presentation was that all students have the capability of being leaders through their words and actions. Mr. Rubin focused on how students can be "upstanders" as opposed to bystanders in the face of bullying. By teaching our students to stand up when they see a peer being treated unfairly, we can help put a stop to bullying and create a school environment where all students feel both comfortable and safe. The messages within Mr. Rubin's presentation correspond directly to this year's character education theme for the district, "Take a Stand, Lend a Hand." The themes and lessons discussed by Mr. Rubin certainly encourage students to do this on a daily basis. Students were taught the harm negative words can have on a person, and the incredible power positive actions can have on those around them. All sport team captains, band leaders, and student club leaders remained after the assembly to attend a breakout session to delve deeper into these issues. Here, our student leaders were given the tools and examples needed to really put all of these ideas into practice within our school.
NJ Interscholastic STEM League's New Providence Challenge
The New Providence High School STEM Club recently hosted students from Governor Livingston, Summit, Edison and Livingston high schools in a NJ Interscholastic STEM league competition. Teams of students competed to design the most effective crash cushion in order to protect the brain from severe impact. Students were provided with a variety of basic supplies and had to design and test their prototypes, provide STEM documentation, computer assisted diagrams, and math calculations. In addition, students presented their designs to a panel of judges from the engineering profession and tested their final prototype against the other schools. Thank you to Linde for providing a guest speaker, judges and refreshments and congratulations to all involved.

Newsweek names NPHS as one of America's Top High Schools
New Providence High School has been named on Newsweek's 2015 "America's Best High Schools" list. New Providence was ranked 68th in the nation and 16th in state of the 500 best high schools in America. There are some 27,000 public high schools nationwide.
Newsweek ranked six components: graduation rate (25%), college acceptance rate (25%), AP/IB/AICE tests taken per student (25%), average SAT/ACT scores (10%), average AP/IB/AICE scores (10%), and percent of students enrolled in at least one AP/IB /AICE course (5%). See Newsweek's full list and related stories.
Recognized for excellence in Academics, the Arts, and Athletics, New Providence High School provides students with a wide range of experiences and opportunities designed to promote intellectual, social, and emotional growth. Our commitment to education has been recognized through many accolades. We continue to be recognized as one of the top high schools in the state of New Jersey. Additionally, we were recognized as a Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. This is the highest recognition that a school can receive on the federal level. These honors are a testament to the dedication of our students, faculty and community.
NPHS students are able to choose from a wide array of academic course offerings designed to challenge them at appropriate levels of ability. Twenty-three Advanced Placement and fifteen Honors classes are offered. Advanced Placement courses offer students the challenges of a college-level course as well as the opportunity to accumulate college credits.
New Providence High School remains committed to maximizing student opportunities for growth, evidenced by our continuing exploration of local, state, and global partnerships.
Instruction is offered in five world languages. Ongoing international partnerships continue with Japan for over 20 years. These programs have given students invaluable insight into different cultures as well as practical application of what they have learned in the classroom.
Incorporating service learning opportunities into the fabric of the educational process provides students with challenges and experiences both within and outside the traditional classroom. Student-sponsored food and clothing drives, choral performances at local senior citizens centers, volunteer tutoring programs, invitations to design banners and logos for community organizations both challenge and reward students' creativity. These activities give New Providence High School students an opportunity to give back and show appreciation for all they are given. Furthermore, these experiences demonstrate what can be achieved when parents, students, teachers and community members work cooperatively.
Our co-curricular offerings, from discipline-specific clubs to athletics to drama, are designed to allow students the opportunity to pursue their interests and achieve new heights. Offering twenty-three athletic teams and nearly forty co-curricular activities, over 92% of the student body is involved in the school's athletic and co-curricular opportunities. Our Technology Student Association won first place in technology problem solving and second place in structural design engineering and music production in a New Jersey State competition. NPHS STEM league students also placed first at the STEM League Competition in Bloomfield, also winning most creative prototype and best overall prototype design. They also placed in the top three at the Annual UCC Bridge Building Competition. Our Girls' Tennis, Girls' Cross Country, Girls' Basketball, Boys' Cross Country, Boys' Tennis and Boys' Lacrosse teams were all Conference Champions. Our Girls' Cross Country, Girls' Tennis, Girls' Basketball and Boys' Tennis teams were also State Sectional Champions.
New Providence High School will continue to prepare students to meet the challenging demands of today's changing world. The school's successes reflect positively on the continued support of the community. This support is much appreciated and welcomed as NPHS continues to function at the forefront of schools in Union County and in the state of New Jersey.

The Lady of the Crocodiles: The Ptolemies Quartet Book 2 (Paperback)Duncan Sprott
Paperback Published: 03/08/2006
- Not available
This title is set in Egypt, 279 BC. Ptolemy II Philandelphus, unconcerned with stately affairs, prefers to think about science, concubines and feasting. His reptilian sister returns to Egypt with her life in ruins. She wants to oust her brother's wife, marry him herself and be the saviour of Egypt, but his wife has other plans. Berenike Beta murders her husband and marries Patlemy III Eurgetes instead. But with the glory of the Ptolemies at its height after Egypt wins victories at Syria, it is the turn of the murderess to be murdered. Ptolemy IV Philopator, who thinks of nothing but wine and dancing, plans to murder his father. Agathokles of Samos wants to murder the King and have the throne of Egypt for himself; and Agatholeia, his sister, wants to murder the Queen and marry her brother. Meanwhile, the people of Egypt are thinking about revolution. Seshat, the Egyptian goddess of writing, the lady in the leopardskin dress, must write down their bloody history.

Tuscany is home to many beautiful old towns and the historical town of San Gimignano is no exception. With its medieval architecture, vast vineyards, and hospitable locals, San Gimignano is an excellent introduction to the amazing country of Italy. Porto San Giovanni is considered to be the main street in town, but there are plenty of more hidden side streets that have unique restaurants and shopping options, so be sure to explore the entire downtown.
As you stroll, check out some of these top destinations:
Despite being somewhat small, San Gimignano has an impressive number of events and festivals held year-round. Some of them include the San Gimignano Musica, a series of classical music concerts held in September and October; the Archaeological Summer Camp, excavations at Castelvecchio held every August; and the Medieval Harvest Festival, a series of events every March that include a blessing of the knights, historical parade, and medieval games.
A vacation rental is the preferred option for those staying in San Gimignano. With homes ranging from villas overlooking the beautiful architecture and vineyards in the area, to spacious and luxurious condos in the heart of town, there's sure to be a property available that's right for you.

Six Prefab Passive House Designs
Kjellgren Kaminsky Architects have designed six new passive house designs for presentation at the Stockholm Housing Fair occurring October 9-12, 2008. Shown in collaboration with Emrahus, these prefabricated, zero energy designs present a compelling concept for what is possible with good design and conscious materials. Passive houses, using the definition of KKA on their website, "are extremely well-insulated buildings that are largely heated by the energy already present in the building." Passive homes attempt to rely as little as possible on extra mechanical systems — they conserve first and foremost. Scroll through these six passive home designs and leave a vote for your fave:

Air Breeze Off-Grid Wind Turbine Improves Upon Popular Air-X
If you've heard of the popular Skystream 3.7 by Southwest Windpower, then you're probably familiar with their smaller wind turbine called Air-X.

Building on the success of Air-X, Southwest Windpower recently released Air Breeze, its next iteration of the successful small wind generator. I first noticed an ad for Air Breeze in Natural Home Magazine last September and have since seen news of it popping up everywhere. Air Breeze was engineered to be quieter, more efficient, and more effective at lower wind speeds …

Product Description
"Regina O'Melveny's debut novel, THE BOOK OF MADNESS AND CURES, is a marvelous, inventive story of a singular courageous woman on a quest to find her missing father. Set in the Renaissance, it explores the wonders, and dangers, of Europe and Asia Minor and recreates a world--exotic and familiar, sensuous and beguiling--where a defiant woman, practicing the ancient healing arts, is believed to be contrary to the laws of God and Man."―Kathleen Kent, author of The Traitor's Wife and The Heretic's Daughter
"....[A]n elegant portrait of a resolute woman who practices medicine in 16th-century Venice...The writing is superb, particularly when the author describes..exotic locales and ancient superstitions. The book will especially attract readers who enjoy female centered historical novels whose plots are not driven by romance."―Lucy Roehrig, Library Journal
"[Gabriella Mondini's] journey is conveyed with earthy and sensual brio [and] clearly well-researched evocations of time and place, and...poetical description....You will love this adventure."―Elle Magazine
"Poet O'Melveny's debut fiction is like a lyrical composite creature-part father/daughter epistolary novel, part aristocratic diary, part adventurer's travelogue, and part compendium of allegorical diseases...Readers will be delighted by O'Melveny's whimsical embellishments."―Publishers Weekly
"[A] picaresque fiction debut...a provocative window into early medical pronouncements on everything from depression to claustrophobia..."―Jan Stuart, The Boston Globe
"O'Melveny's writing is smooth and evocative. Gabriella proves a likeable traveling companion, and her first-person narration keeps things moving along....Readers will find much to enjoy in this colorful, picaresque tale."―David Maine, Popmatters
"Gorgeously written, and filled with details about science and medicine, this is an unforgettable debut novel."―Tara Quinn, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Infused with the sensuous places and metaphorical natural world that recur in [O'Melveny's] poetry..."―Anne Gray Fischer, Ploughshares
"Intriguing.... Every new chapter brings a new adventure and a new piece of the puzzle."―Claire Rivero, The Washington Independent Review of Books
"Reminiscent of The Red Tent, Anita Diamant's book-club favorite..."―Susannah Meadows, The New York Times
"[A] darkly whimsical first novel..."―Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Regina O'Melveny's poetry has been published widely in literary journals, garnering several prizes. She grew up at the edge of pungent chaparral in La Mesa, California, and chose to enroll at Callison College--a school of International Studies at the University of the Pacific--almost solely based upon the fact that the second year would be spent in India. Thus began her many extended travels that would later inspire The Book of Madness and Cures, her first novel. She lives in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

The story was very slow to get going and I found it difficult to keep reading. The writing was choppy, descriptions were long and at times tedious and I found it hard to believe some of the situations the characters found themselves in. There were parts of the story that I'm not sure were very accurate for the time period. However, I found the inserted notes on maladies and their 'cures' interesting. Looking at medicine through the eyes of a sixteenth-century doctor gave me a better idea of what life would have been like for the physically and mentally ill'it's not a pretty picture.
Eventually the book became easier to read and by the end I was starting to enjoy it. That point came too late for me and I cannot see myself reading it again.
I give this book 3 stars out of 5.

Dr. Gabriella Mondini is a rarity in Venice. While most women live more common lives, she has been afforded the chance to study medicine with her father, who is a well-respected doctor in is own right. Even though the guild of medicine is comprised entirely of men, her father has always done everything possible to ensure that his daughter becomes the best doctor she can be. When her father leaves the home to research maladies and cures to be published in his massive medical resource, The Book of Diseases, he leaves Gabriella to continue the family's medical practice.
Years later, Gabriella is still home, facing mounting disapproval from the medical guild, while her father continues his mysterious journey, sending letters that leave minimal clues to his activities or whereabouts. When, one day, she receives a letter from her father stating that he plans to continue his research with no intentions of ever returning home, Gabriella, despite her mother's warnings, sets out to find her father and convince him to return.
I have mixed feelings about this novel. Certain aspects worked extremely well. O'Melveny paints an accurate portrait of a young woman's struggle to reach her true potential. Set in the late 1500's the medical details, historical contexts, and character interactions are all fantastic. At times, however, I felt that the language of the novel got in the way of an otherwise intriguing story. The sections meant to portray the entries in the ongoing Book of Diseases seemed to be inserted in the middle of the plot, making the story a bit choppy. Overall, I think fans of historical fiction, mysteries and strong female lead characters will really enjoy this novel. Despite its setbacks, the story is strong enough to make this worth the read.
There is earthly appeal in Gabriella Mondini, this unusual young woman who yearns to practice medicine at an epoch where women of similar social status were rarely seen even out of the home.
The human body study during the Renaissance was a fascinating subject, involving much debates in universities and physicians homes and often criticism (even persecution) as it involved the need for specimens.
The idea of a wealthy 16th Century Venetian woman, a full fledged physician forbidden to practice because of her sex, willing to leave the comforts of home in search of the father she has not heard of in ten years, solely armed with a medicine chest and accompanied by two loyal servants to venture into terra ignota captivates the imagination.
My ARC copy galvanized me to experience this intriguing book fully (I dropped everything else) and I can tell you I was mesmerized by the author's readers address . To be introduced to Regina's inspiration whilst she penned this novel was in itself a rare opportunity to understand the concept behind the story and I recommend readers to check it out before starting the first chapter!
Gabriella's journey to find her missing father will see her crossing Europe, taking her from Venice to lake Costentz, Leiden, Edenburg and to Algezer, Africa.
With infinite care Regina O'Melveny allows readers to visualize a world we have only perceived through the accounts of merchants such as Marco Polo. She does not loose readers in tedious details, allowing readers to fully concentrate on the protagonists.
Gabriella does not follow the well trodden commerce road we know as the Spice route. Instead she uses cues taken from cherished letters, some many years old, to find the man she calls Father, also a physician.
Perhaps most appealing of all are the medical lore and excerpts of the book of Diseases Gabriella strives to compile, with her father's notes as well as her observations. These are at times remarkably accurate, others will leave you chilled or perhaps bring a chuckle.
As we follow her footsteps to discover the whereabouts of her father we begin to grasp Gabriella's hope and despair, and her determination to find the reason for her father's long absence. Despite misgivings and losses she continues her journey.
One might observe that Regina intuitively knew how to describe the vivid details of this compelling story thanks to her own upbringing.
'...It began with a small cloth journal decorated with volutes of red roses, sent to me when I was ten by my Italian grandmother, whom I'd never met. It had a lock...' My favourite of all her quotes!
In the end, this is a story to be experienced with an open mind, not unlike a cup of tisane, made of newly gathered herbs from a sunny spot of one's garden. Each sip brings you a different taste...
Imagination will be your constant companion!
Excellent and well worth 5 stars!
I received this ARC free from the HACHETTE GROUP as part of their blogger review program.
I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC 16 CFR, Part 255 'Guides concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. I was not asked to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.
Gabriella herself is an educated woman, a scholar who is literally following in her father's footsteps, adding her own contribution to the encyclopedic Book of Diseases that her father has been compiling all his life for the advancement of medical science. If there is little new or of interest in the descriptions of Gabriella's brief stays as she passes through the major centres of learning in Europe - other than a near run-in with a witch hunt, the expected encounters with thieves, lecherous men, romantic interests and adverse weather conditions are unexceptional - Gabriella's contributions to her father's study is much more intriguing, taking her down surreal paths in her documentation of rare diseases like The Plague of Black Tears, Solar Madness and Invidia. While she may not contract these afflictions herself, Gabriella's own experiences along the way allow her to relate to many of the symptoms.
The pleasures of The Book of Madness and Cures might not be the typical ones of seeing a plot or characters develop or progress in a conventional way through adversity, but such rich allusions cover this ground in a much subtler way that is fitting with the period, the language and the style of the period. It's there also in how Gabriella's correspondence from her father rarely speaks directly of their relationship, but somehow captures the same drives (and perhaps even madness) that propels both of them on a seemingly foolhardy quest. If the richness of the writing and the subtle delving into character isn't enough on its own, the beautiful ending brings everything together into an appropriate and perfect conclusion.
Essentially, the entire novel is spent following Gabriella to several cities throughout Europe. She takes along her two servants, Olmina and Lorenzo. I think these were meant to be endearing characters, and Lorenzo sometimes was, but on the whole, they were just boring. Unfortunately, I was rather underwhelmed by the account of the bear killing Lorenzo, and I was relieved when Olmina returned to Venice. They were not missed, though Gabriella seemed to miss them. Each time the reader is informed that Gabriella feels a strong emotion, I was surprised, because I did not share that supposedly strong emotion. Despite being a first-person narrative, the reader remains wholly distanced from Gabriella and does not take part in her emotional experiences.
At each city Gabriella receives more hints that her father has become sick and is actually mad. This suspicion is pretty well confirmed before she even finds her father, so that by the time we do finally find him locked up like an animal so that he can't hurt himself, I am wondering what the point of the whole journey was.
The redeeming quality of the book was its rich discussion of ancient medicines and the humors. Throughout the novel we get to read entries in the Book of Diseases. Each entry includes a story--always about a woman--who suffers what appears to be not only a physical illness, but an emotional one. However, we never actually get to the bottom of the emotional illness. Gabriella is interested in herbal remedies, something that the other doctors consider indicative of black magic. When Gabriella and her companions come to Tubingen (Germany), she is warned that there have been many witch-hunts there. Of course, I interpreted this information as foreshadowing a delicious scandal for the leading lady. But she easily disguises herself and makes it through Tubingen without even running into a possible witch-hunter, which I found greatly disappointing.

Designated an Appalachian Trail Community™ on Apr 21, 2012, Front Royal is located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, 70 miles west of Washington, DC, just off I- 66. Flanked by the Blue Ridge to the east and Massanutten Range to the west, Front Royal's founders settled at the forks of the Shenandoah River. Canoe Capital of VA, Front Royal has two outfitters, Front Royal Canoe Company and Downriver Canoe Company that rent out canoes, kayaks, rafts, and tubes for an "aqua-blaze" up to Harpers Ferry, WV, the next Appalachian Trail Community™ north. Rates include shuttle service along routes ranging from three miles to 40-mile overnights. Another canoeing outfitter to check out is Skyline Canoe Company.
Local establishments supportive of hikers include the 4-H Center, adjacent to the Trail, which offers free showers at the pool, and The Apple House (great BBQ, ice cream, Alpenglow, and those signature apple donuts), on Route 55, closer to the Linden crossing. On the side of town closest to the Trail, hikers will find Samuels Public Library, offering free Internet; 3 food stores - Martin's and Better Thymes (health food) on South Street, and Food Lion on Rte 522; a Laundromat; a B&B and plenty of hotels. The Apple House and Stokes General Store (Main Street) both carry a limited selection of hiker supplies.
Once "le front royal" or "royal frontier" between French and British territories, local legend favors a more colorful origin for the town's unusual name. Supposedly, a giant oak, the royal tree of England, stood in the public square. Exasperated by the inability of his militia recruits to follow even the simplest command, a drill sergeant once bellowed, "Front the Royal Oak!" This command allegedly morphed into the variation "Front Royal," and the name stuck.
Where the Royal Oak once reigned now stands the Gazebo on the Village Commons, right next to the Front Royal Visitor Center where hikers will find a hiker box and care packages. This summer, you will also be able to obtain maps and clues for our family-friendly community treasure hunts, called Quests. Designed by local residents, Quests will take you on themed walks throughout the region, a way of sharing stories, natural areas, and special places. Make the Visitor Center one of your first stops in town, and stick around for entertainment at the Gazebo, a favorite gathering place for festivals, weekly concerts, and a farmers market on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings during the summer months.
Intersecting Main Street is historic Chester Street. In this area, costumed interpreters conduct walking tours describing the Battle of Front Royal, one of the first urban battles to take place in U.S. history. Front Royal offers an excellent base from which to explore the many battlefields preserved in the northern half of the Valley. Also found on Chester Street are the Warren Rifles Confederate Museum, Warren Heritage Society, Ivy Lodge Museum, Laura Virginia Hale Archives, and Belle Boyd Cottage, home of the 19-year-old Confederate spy who played a key role in the Battle of Front Royal.
Hundreds of miles of hiking trails thread their way across Warren County. Shenandoah National Park, the Tuscarora Trail, and the A.T. offer loops for hikers and backpackers of all levels, while families can stay overnight or enjoy picnicking and day hikes along the Shenandoah River at Raymond R. "Andy" Guest Jr. State Park. In addition, Backpacker Magazine named Massanutten Washington, DC's top-secret hiking getaway in February 2009. And for those who prefer a stroll underground, Skyline Caverns offers a tour of one of the area's unique "karst" or cave systems, featuring the world's largest encrustation of anthodites, "orchids of the mineral kingdom" that cling to the cave ceiling, their delicate white spikes resembling crystalline sea urchins.
For those seeking the birds-eye view, Blue Ridge Hot Air Balloons offers a one-hour aerial tour, followed by the traditional champagne toast upon landing. Horse trails are nearly as plentiful as hiking trails, and a variety of stables in the region offer trail riding, lessons, and carriage tours. Then there are the llamas.
