Rainy-afternoon readers could do far worse than to curl up with Pierce's treat of a first novel. Pierce, who teaches English at Miami University in Ohio, introduces readers to Olivia, the 16-year-old budding artist who narrates this lush story. Olivia not only takes readers deep into her struggles with anorexia but introduces a rich cast of characters, like her funny, needy little sister, whose birth name is Claire, but who everyone calls Callapher, short for "Calla Flower." With the help of beautiful Mollie, a free-spirited, devout Christian girl who quickly befriends the family, and Margaret, an old, kind, busy-body great-aunt who is always ready with a helping hand, Olivia and Callapher do their best to settle into their new home, nicknamed "The Shoe Box" because of its tiny size. They've just moved to a small town where Mom and Dad try to make a new life after a scandal forces Dad out of his position as pastor of their old church in Ohio. This story is about family, faith, love, starting over and a whole host of life's curve balls, beautifully told by a girl who has endless heart but a tough mountain to climb when it comes to loving herself as is.

Pressurized family dynamics and a dysfunctional church experience force 16-year-old Olivia to seek her own reality. For her self-image as a thinker, painter, and older sister, Olivia determines who she thinks she ought to be.
Her baggy clothes and exhaustive calorie scrutiny can't cover up the fact that she is allowing her body to wither away. As Olivia encounters small town prying and a tighter-than-comfortable rental house, her escape becomes her art. And her goal becomes the impossible perfection of airbrushed magazine models.
Feeling For Bones is Olivia's story as her struggles become more than physical and she is finally led to the answers she was running from all along.
This story opens up a window to the thought processes and struggles of teen and college-aged women who struggle with eating disorders. Young women will find a friend who thinks like they do. And mothers will find a compatriot in the battle to help their daughters deal with body image.

Chapter Oneat the age of sixteen, I suffered recurring nightmares. I was running as hard as I could while my destination on the horizon receded to a pinpoint and vanished like the white pop of an old television screen winking out. Awake, I lay in a trance at the bottom of a pool, suffocating beneath an invisible, silent weight: people's voices reached my ears across a great distance, and the reflection of my body was always before me, wavering in myriad and grotesque distortions.
It was the year Dad lost his job. He was given severance pay, but finding new work was only half the problem: part of his salary was our family's tenancy in the parsonage. I spent the first of those suspenseful weeks in a quiet circuit between school and the dinner table, navigating the maze of moving boxes to disappear into my bedroom each night.
To spare my little sister the final dismantling of our home, Dad arranged for both of us to leave for Great-aunt Margaret's a week before he and Mom would arrive with the moving vans. As a six-year-old, Callapher nursed anxieties about the move that were as imaginative as they were ridiculous. When she first learned we would be leaving the flatlands of southern Ohio for the Appalachian Mountains, she locked herself in the bathroom and cried for an hour because she was afraid she would fall off. Dad said, "We'll just tie a rope aroundyour waist and secure it to the table." But Mom arched her eyebrow at him, so he stopped. Mom kept her eyebrows perfectly groomed, delicate and sharp like the moon crescents above the painted long-lashed eyes of Callapher's Gone With the Wind collector Barbie.
I envied my sister the naiveté of her fears. But after saying goodbye to my friends, I was surprised to realize there were none I would miss terribly. I felt a little ashamed of the fact, but at the same time strangely proud: proud that I didn't need anyone. When we boarded the bus for Great-aunt Margaret's, the sunrise was just a line of budding pink on the horizon. Taking my seat, I felt a flutter in my stomach, the kind you get when the crush you've had for a month walks into the room. A sense of anticipation.
It was the first of March, but unusually warm for spring. Callapher and I shared the bus with half a dozen other passengers. In a silent stupor, they swayed to the rhythm of the Greyhound as its engine roared against the Pennsylvania terrain. Twisting the heavy weight of my hair into a bun, I wiped the sweat from the nape of my neck. Callapher fidgeted in the seat beside me.
"How much longer?" she asked.
"We're almost there." I just wanted her to be quiet. "Sit up. It's too hot to be so close."
Sighing dramatically, she flopped back against the seat. Her legs were too short to reach the floor. She swayed them back and forth, watching the sunlight glint off the sparkles in her jelly slippers. She winked her eyes at them. First her right, then her left. Right, left, squinting.
"Something in your eye?" I asked.
"Look, when I do this it makes the colors change."
"I am looking."
"No, I mean try it." She covered her left eye with the palm of her hand so that she could only see from the right. She covered the right eye in turn. "See, everything looks different. Like more purple."
I said, "I see," but I was looking down at the book I'd brought. Callapher walked her finger people up and down my arm.
"Stop it," I murmured.
"Olivia," she repeated.
"I said 'what.'"
She squirmed to her knees so that her face was level with mine. "Why do my eyes do that?"
"That's how they work together. One sees one set of colors and the other sees another set and then your brain puts the two together," I lied.
"I heard your eye flips things upside down and then your brain turns them around again." She projected her palm forward, like a policeman halting traffic, then turned her arm so that her fingers pointed down. "Like this." She repeated the gesture several times, rapidly.
"Where did you hear that?" I asked.
"On TV."
"Well, it's true."
She sucked on the zipper of her jacket meditatively. I told her not to be disgusting and to spit it out. She kicked the back of the empty seat in front of her. She slid around and sat backwards. She laid her head in my lap.
She asked, "Are we there yet?"
"Almost," I said. "Probably almost."
The road passed beneath the wheels of the bus, its path never-ending and monotonous as the slats of a treadmill. I stared out the window, excessively disappointed with the view. Nothing more than hills buried in blurred brush, brown and green. Bloated land. I closed my right eye to stare at the landscape with my left. I switched eyes, winking one then the other. The mountain jumped back and forth, shifting like an object in a room lit by strobe light.
I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? The psalm occurred to me as clearly as if someone had whispered it in my ear. That's what you get as the daughter of a minister: a mind full of Scripture. My Sunday school teacher used to give us verses printed on thin scraps of paper the shape and size of the slips folded in fortune cookies. These printed papers littered my brain. The inside of my head, a ticker-tape parade.
We passed a bait shop, a gas station, and a spattering of whitewashed houses, all sandwiched between city limits posted on leaning green signs. One after the other, these sparse islands of civilization gave way to greater and wider stretches of untamed land. Just seconds after passing the line of a little town named Cedarville, the engine of the bus roared up in protest, sending a shudder down the length of the floor that tingled the soles of my feet. We veered off the road slowly, coming to a complete stop at the curb.
The driver unlatched himself from his chair. It buoyed up in his absence. Standing at the front of the bus, he adjusted his belt beneath his overhanging belly. "Sorry, folks," he apologized. "Engine's overheated again. Gonna be a few minutes."
He stepped down from the bus, which, I imagined, lifted with a sigh like that of the chair in being released from the particular burden of that one man's excessive weight. In that same moment, a grouping of heavy-bellied clouds covered the sun. The darkness of a premature dusk raced over the land with all the speed of a heavy curtain drawn shut. Of their own accord, reading lights flickered to life along the perimeter of the bus's ceiling, creating green halos upon the heads of the passengers beneath who eyed the changing landscape with suspicion.
Callapher fussed to be free of her buckle. "I have to go to the bathroom," she announced.
I sent her to the toilet in the back. She returned with her face screwed tight in pain.
"I can't go; there's somebody in there." She did an impatient dance in the aisle.
"Hold on," I said, undoing my own seat belt. I remembered passing a gas station just at the city limits. "Get your jacket."
"But it's hot."
"I know-but it might rain while we're out."
At the front of the bus, I told a woman that we were going out for a second and not to let the driver pull away without us.
"Sweetheart, we're not going anywhere," she replied. "But I'll tell him."
The gas station was no longer visible from the road, but above the wall of trees an artificially white light glowed bright. We ran down the street in its direction.
"Slow down," Callapher demanded. She ran with the stilted gait of a one-legged man, her legs locked together at the knees.
"C'mon, it's not that far. You can hold it in; no one's looking."
She pinched her hand between her legs.
When we reached the station, a chime above the door announced our entrance.
"Bathroom?" I asked breathlessly.
Raising his eyebrows, the attendant pointed to the back. I helped Callapher pull her pants down as we ran. With her underwear around her ankles, she half tripped into the stall. I closed the door behind her.
"You make it?" I asked.
"Yeah," she managed.
Leaning against the door, I saw my own reflection looking back from the square mirror opposite. My skin was pale. The single light above the sink cast the bathroom in a yellowish hue, pulling deep shadows from beneath my eyes. I turned away.
The toilet flushed. A pair of twins about Callapher's age emerged from the handicapped stall. They wore matching pink dresses that fanned out, pleated and shaped like lampshades. Red curls kinked tight in the humidity had escaped from the once carefully arranged ballerina buns atop their heads. Together, they stood on tiptoe to lather their hands over the shared sink.
"You look very pretty," I told them.
"Thank you," they replied in unison.
"Were you in a wedding?" I asked, noting the stump of a withering bouquet on the edge of the sink.
"Yes," one of the twins answered with pride. "Our mother's."
They patted their hands with brown paper towels, and one wiped her palms against her dress for good measure. They skipped from the bathroom.
When Callapher emerged, looking better, I told her to wash her hands. "Use soap," I said. "Don't just rinse them off."
At the counter, I bought her a shrink-wrapped sub sandwich and a large soda. We sat for a moment at the single plastic booth situated between the coffeemaker and the row of candy machines.
Outside the window, parked beside the second gas pump, a blue minivan chugged in place. Pink and yellow streamers trailed the pavement behind it. White balloons hung from the side mirrors and the rear door. A sign had been duct-taped to the back, just covering a hairline crack that cut the length of the glass. In handwritten cursive it read Just Married. I couldn't see the bride's face, but a cloud of white fabric and lace was visible just over the rim of the passenger side window. Occasionally, the great bundle moved as the bride readjusted herself; once, it trembled.
It was the groom who drew my attention: a man in a white tuxedo waiting beside the open van door, one hand behind his back, the other straight at his side. The twins ran the length of the parking lot, the second throwing herself into the groom's arms. He lifted her into the air and kissed her affectionately on the cheek before setting her in the van and closing the door behind her. It slid along its rusted hinges with the roll of a gentle thunder.
I was struck with a peculiar desire to study his face, but he got into the front seat without glancing back my way, and his features remain indefinite in my memory. The van drove away, white balloons bouncing with the eagerness of hands waving farewell.
"Come on," I urged Callapher, glancing at my watch. We'd been gone fifteen minutes. "You can eat the rest on the bus."
"I don't want anymore." She offered the remainder of her sandwich to me.
"I'm not hungry."
The rain began as soon as we started back. In seconds it was a torrential downpour. Lightning flashed on the horizon. Callapher screamed. When she was really scared, she grimaced with a deep and rigid downward turn of her bottom lip that made her chin jut forward and left her bottom row of teeth just visible. Her plastic shoes quickly filled with water. She tripped. I offered to give her a piggyback ride. Once on my back, she pitched her coat over her head and mine.
"You're choking me!" I called through the roar of rain on pavement. "Don't hold on so tight-it's only rain. It's nothing to be afraid of."
"I amn't scared," Callapher stated.
"You aren't scared," I corrected.
"Nope," she insisted. She grasped her arms tighter around my neck as a second peal of thunder shook the ground.
We arrived at the Greyhound dripping and panting. Through the narrow aisle, we managed our way back to our seats, avoiding the indignant grunts of passengers sprayed with rainwater by our passing. Callapher cradled her jumbo soda pop with both hands while I helped peel away her soggy shoes.
"Let me take off your shirt," I said.
"No. I don't want them to see me naked."
"You're soaked. No one will care."
She whispered, "They'll see my boobies."
I laughed. "You don't have anything to hide. Put your arms up."
Too tired to complain, she obediently raised her arms. The tight T-shirt pulled from her body with a wet slurp. Her skin was clammy and cool in the sallow yellow light. I took my own jacket down from the storage compartment where I'd left it neatly folded, and wrapped it around my sister's bare shoulders. We sat down. She laid her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes. In minutes, she was sleeping.
Half an hour later, the driver took his seat, and we began again up the road. This marked the second pit stop we'd been forced to make in two hours. It occurred to me too late that we should have called Margaret at the gas station so she wouldn't worry.
I tried to remember my great-aunt. The first years of my parents' marriage, they made an effort to keep in touch with that corner of my mother's childhood, but it had grown increasingly difficult to make time for a lone relative living so far from the rest. Margaret single-handedly maintained the old farmhouse and the great tract of land left to her by her late husband. The marriage was so long in the past that no one remembered it well or spoke of it often. Ten years ago Mom heard that Margaret had taken in a housemate, an unmarried friend by the name of Ruby Alcott. Together, she and Margaret were known in town as the Old Maids.
This permanent addition to Margaret's otherwise solitary life alleviated the burden on my mother's conscience. In the years that followed, each Christmas brought one excuse or another why we couldn't accept Margaret's annual invitation. We had never met Ms. Alcott. We knew her only by pictures and by the new signature adjoining Margaret's on each year's posted holiday greeting card, which we kept in a shoe box with the other rubber-band-bound Hallmark Christ childs that lay in beds of heavenly gold hay.
In anticipation of our arrival, Margaret had mailed us weekly installments of Bethsaida life: postcards, clippings from the local newspaper, church bulletins with all the exciting announcements circled in red. She sent me a help-wanted ad for a housepainter. The envelope had been addressed to "Miss Monahan," and the enclosed note said, "Possible employment opportunity. Thought you might be interested, since your mother says you are a talented artist." Mom scolded me for laughing at the note. "Humor her, Olivia," she'd said. "'She's only trying to help."
I didn't need to be reminded of Margaret's help. You could praise my dad's credentials all you wanted, but I knew that she was the reason Bethsaida Christian Academy agreed to hire him for the coming year. No one would have overlooked the events of the past year without sufficient sway from a sympathetic party. And Margaret's was about the only sympathy we'd found so far; the rent she required for the cottage on her land was nothing less than outright charity.
The vision of the cottage as I had long since imagined it rose up before me. A picket fence lining a carpet of moist, spongy grass. Little shutters and yellow-checkered curtains blowing in the breeze. Tufted pollen of dandelion seeds bursting in a puff to become stars that spattered the air, soaring up in an explosion of gold ...
My head banged against the window, and I woke up. Through the indistinct reflection of my face on the glass, the pavement wound, wound never ending, roadside weeds ripping through the shadowy half moon of my cheek. The cabin grew warmer as my head grew thicker. I lost concentrated vision to gathering splotches of brown. As if lifted from beneath, my seat tipped forward. I fell out completely, my body light and arms outstretched in abandon. Then I stood at a precipice beneath which churned a great swirling beauty. A red cloud shrank down from a pull at its center, as a stomach flushing, or a galaxy upon its axis spinning. There was a flashing sheet of an unbearable glory. I had to jump to live. Plunge to the bottom and spring up, reborn.
Lightning flashed. I blinked my eyes, grasping at consciousness. I tried to remember the bus and Callapher's heavy head against my arm. The road stretched without end toward the unknown. Another gas station passed, so exactly like the last that I expected to find the same minivan parked beneath its overhang. I wondered about the man and his bride. Now they were speeding in the opposite direction, streamers wavering behind as they rose up from the road to fly into the sky. Instantaneously, I found myself on the road. The bus had disappeared and I was running, desperately, my feet soaked from the puddles that mirrored the darkening sky, my lungs burning, my head on fire. I had to run after him. I had to find him. I had to run before that for which I ran shrank to nothing.
I stopped. Before me stood the man, a liveried servant dressed in a suit of white. He stood before an open door. A door, perhaps, to a carriage. Or a blue van or a chariot. His garments glowed with brilliant heat in the purple fog of rain. He stood at the open door, his open palm extending the invitation.
Would you come with me? I understood him to say. You have to want something more. With the eager abandon of a child, I ran to him.
Again, my head struck the windowpane. The rush of joy met its end and receded as a wave breaking. I woke to see the words W lco e to Bethsaida printed in fading letters on a fast-approaching sign.

This is a wonderfully written book. It has all the elements - good story, believable characters, and true to life consequences. Feeling for Bones is much like the Secret of Bees only better. So many first time authors just don't know how to end their stories. This is a wonderful read all the way through. I on the other hand am not a great writer or I would be able to articulate why this is a great choice.
When Olivia's father loses his job, her family uproots from their current home and moves to Bethsaida, a small town with an even smaller scope of activity. To placate her festering nerves, Olivia creates a mural of glamour shots across the wall of her new bedroom she's forced to share with her little sister, Callapher. She meditates over these images, longing to see her own reflection in the glossy pages of ripped and torn magazine ads. Introduced to a cast of eccentric and loving characters, Olivia is tested by the perceptions others have of her and the perceptions she has of herself. She finds solace and excitement in the spongy feel of brush strokes across canvas, but will Olivia ever be content with her own body? Feeling For Bones is a deeply rooted story of mentality. Pierce does a fascinating job of digging through the bulbous roots and weeds of the sixteen-year-old mind, and drawing out a soul full of life but suppressed by thought. Olivia is strikingly meditative in her narrative, filtering through spiritual challenges, family struggles, and the art of true friendship. "Color is white light shot through prisms. Sight, the world shot through the eye. You can go around accepting everything. Or you can renegotiate the space between the eye and the brain; you can teach the two to communicate differently. Then the whole world changes. It's like the words from 'Amazing Grace': I once was blind, but now I see. Suddenly I found myself walking around wide-eyed, in wonder, my body filling up with light." --Feeling For Bones, Bethany Pierce This was perhaps the most important paragraph for me in respect to the main character, Olivia, and her spiraling, convoluted battle with eating. Where food involves complex calculation that only she can justify, art makes sense to Olivia. In reading this paragraph closely, I saw Olivia's explanation of the complexity of color as a parallel drawn to her complex system in calculating calories and watching what she eats and how much. Everyone tells her she is skinny, but Olivia fails to see this. She cannot accept what she has been told, reflecting her justification of "[renegotiating] the space between the eye and the brain"(pg. 140). The "prisms" of color she discusses actually inverts her predicament with food as is proven when she cites the lyrics to Amazing Grace: "I once was blind, but now I see." She says, "Suddenly I found myself walking around wide-eyed, in wonder, my body filling up with light" as though there is a healthy intake of knowledge and revelation, which contradicts her logic of food intake. It's almost as if she's battling hard to control one situation to counteract another situation she has no control over, which would be the most evident cause for a disorder like this. Feeling For Bones is a technically drawn and designed novel of a self-destructing teenager saved by grace. Pierce, also trained as an artist, draws from a wide color palette of vocabulary and paints a resonating story about the trials, tribulations, and savory bites in between of a teenager struggling to come to terms with self-acceptance.

T-Brad is getting paid to wear Nike ya dope, just like Kobe & LeBron, obviously Tim won't be getting the same kinda money they do from Nike, but it's still an endorsement/sponsorship
as for the whole audition, well usually shoe deals are Multi year, but Tim's w Nike is ONLY for one year because I'm sure Nike wants to see if Bradley can get by Pacquiao first before investing long term in him ... it's not that hard to understand

Amgen exercised its option covering Cytokinetics' cardiac contractility program. The company will pay $50 million for worldwide rights excluding Japan, which covers mid-stage candidate CK-1827452. Cytokinetics stands to earn up to $600 million in precommercialization and commercialization milestones.
Under the terms of the companies' January 2007 collaboration and option agreement, Amgen will assume responsibility for development and commercialization of CK-1827452 and related compounds at its expense. Cytokinetics received $42 million at the start of the collaboration plus a $33 million equity investment.
The firm will receive royalties that escalate based on annual net sales. Cytokinetics could receive increased royalties by sharing certain Phase III development costs. In that case, Cytokinetics could co-promote products in North America and would have an agreed role in commercialization activities in North America.
CK-1827452 is in multiple Phase I and Phase IIa trials to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetic profile of both intravenous and oral formulations for the treatment of heart failure across the continuum of care, in both hospital and outpatient settings.
♦♦♦Past News from CytokineticsCytokinetics Lets Go of Oncology Research Business and 29% of Staff (Sep. 16, 2008)
Two Phase IIa trials of CK-1827452 have been completed: in patients with stable heart failure and in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and angina. Two Phase IIa studies of CK-1827452 are ongoing: in patients with stable heart failure undergoing coronary angiography and a comparison of oral pharmacokinetics of both a modified-release and an immediate-release formulation in patients with stable heart failure.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

10 Reviews
This is delicious, even if you don't have alot of time to marinade it. I marinaded it for about 1 hour and it really had alot of flavor. I minced the garlic and the ginger together (we love them both) and I probably used more garlic and ginger than called for but the rest of the ingedients I kept the same. Really good, highly recommend it. The heated marinade was delicious over my steamed broccoli(al dente of course) and also the marinade ran around the plate into my sauteed fresh spinach and it was great on that too!!! A keeper for sure!!!!!
My girlfriend and I just moved to the west coast, and we happened to find tri-tip on sale at the store. After bringing it home, we searched the 'Zaar (and the internet at large!) for delicious ways to use it. After much deliberation, we decided upon this recipe, and we both agree that it was likely the most delicious thing that we've had since moving here a month ago! Thanks for this delicious, simple recipe, and thanks for the tips about how to set the heat on the grill (holding your hand over it for 4-5 seconds tops). Our grill never did get quite hot enough, but we did end up with a medium-rare, fantastically crusted cut of meat anyway! I don't know that we'll try this again right away (there are, apparently, so many delicious ways to prepare tri-tip), but this recipe is definitely a keeper.
We have tried many different Tri-Tip recipes. This is one of, if not the best. We doubled the sauce and served it in small sauce bowls ala French Dip. It was all consumed with the steak. Also cut the ginger by 2/3rds (not big ginger fans). The meal was a BIG hit. Thanks for posting.
I marinaded 4 3 lb roasts for DH's BD party and everyone loved them! I put each roast in a zip lock bag and followed the recipe for each. I ran out of soy sauce after the 3 roast, so I cut the 4th into thirds and put a piece into each bag. The only slight change I made was to add about a tsp of steak seasoning to each bag. I did think that the reduced sauce was way too sweet, so I didn't use it. I'm sure I'll use this recipe again, but I'll cut back on the sugar in the marinade to about 1/4 cup. Thanks for a great recipe that made me look like a great cook!!
This was really good and the sauce was divine! I didn't have fresh ginger so I used about 1/8 tsp of ground ginger. I took the review from another poster and froze mine then when I was ready, thawed it out. I browned my tri tip first then put in the oven for about 30 minutes @ 350 since I didn't feel like grilling in the bad weather we were having.Thanks for a sharing and I can't wait to make it with maybe filet mignon.
This recipe was wonderful! I cooked it on my George Foreman and it was perfect. Will make this often. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! This marinade had the best flavor, my family loved it! It felt like we were at a restaurant, I can't wait to make it again!
Delicious!!! Really nice flavor after marinating it for two days! Yummmmmmm! I did mince the garlic and ginger and probably added a bit more of both than called for- but that's just my family's preference. Very nice recipe~ a definite keeper!
We loved this. I did it as a OAMC prep- put the beef and marinade in the freezer in a bag, thawed it out a couple of weeks later and grilled it- wonderful!
Great flavor. I used a london broil buffalo steak. Although the meat was kind of tough, the taste was outstanding. Unfortunately, as I was boiling the marinade, it boiled over and I lost most of it, so I didn't get to do any "dipping". Still good and would be good on chicken and pork.

I'm trying to understand the low-level details of the Silverlight dependency property system.
I realize that DependencyObject has no explicit DataContext property or even the notion of a parent.
The Behavior class however, which derives from DependencyObject, has bindings use the DataContext of what it is attached to as the Source of the bindings on itself.
My question is: Can I derive a class from DependencyObject and somehow determine which other object to use at the Source for bindings? Or more clearly: How to implement something like the Behavior class?

You will love this flavorful Cilantro Lime Hummus that doesn't require a food processor!
I'm so excited to be the April Mystery Dish guest today! Mystery Dish is a group of bloggers who take turns each month choosing a list of foods, and everyone has to make a surprise dish using 2-3 ingredients from the list. Every month there is one guest blogger who gets to join in the fun, and I'm thrilled that Jen from Yummy Healthy Easy picked me! Here is the list of ingredients Jen put in her mystery box:
- garbanzo beans
- eggs
- flaxseed
- cilantro
- potatoes (any variety)
- bread
- quinoa
- lime
- popcorn
- dark chocolate
- ground turkey
- asparagus
After much back and forth, I latched onto the garbanzo beans and decided to make Cilantro Lime Hummus. This brings me to a question: Do you think every food blogger has a kitchen full of fancy appliances and gadgets? This one doesn't! For example, I don't have a doughnut pan, blender, or food processor. Maybe a doughnut can is a bit of a specialty item, but I think most people have a food processor on hand. If you don't, I'm here to tell you that you can still make a delicious batch of hummus! I read that the earliest recipes for hummus date back to the 13th century, and I'm pretty sure they didn't have KitchenAids back then! I do happen to have a mortar and pestle, and that's what I used to mash the garbanzo beans for this chunky hummus. If you don't have one, you can mash them on a large plate with a fork or potato masher. You know me and spicy food (love it!), so I couldn't resist adding diced jalapeño to this recipe. I also stirred in a little Greek yogurt to add creaminess without using additional oil. This chunky hummus was good on pita, but next time I think I will eat it with tortilla chips instead!
This chunky hummus recipe does not require a food processor!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Clark in general and this visit in particular. Anybody else you give this survey to from that afternoon will tell you they had to wait a long time. And that's because he spent the time with my depressed teenager to thoroughly understand her situation and make sure she understood what was going on. He is so awesome with my kids. He talked 90% of the time to her and only 10% to me as needed.
Patient Comment 03/22/2016
I have recommended Chris to multiple people. He is the best and has an outstanding reputation in Richardson.
Patient Comment 03/09/2016
Dr. Clark is always generous with his time, making sure that any questions I might have are answered.
Patient Comment 03/09/2016
Have been a patient of this provider for some time and he has recommended excellent physicians when additional care is needed. Am very happy with everything concerning this clinic and physician!
Patient Comment 03/08/2016
Dr. Clark has taken very good care of our entire family for 14+ years. We followed him to this office and continue to recommend him.
Patient Comment 03/02/2016
Best doctor I have ever seen, so caring and explains things like a normal person, never talks down or rushes.
Patient Comment 02/24/2016
+++ above & beyond!
Patient Comment 02/23/2016
All I can say is that I have had Dr. Clark for 15 years now as my main doctor even though I haven't lived Texas since 2004. I am in Dallas a lot on business and I am fortunate to have him as my doctor.
Patient Comment 02/16/2016
Dr. Clark has always been an excellent provider and trusted health partner.
Patient Comment 02/16/2016
Excellent "bedside manner"!
Patient Comment 02/16/2016
Dr. Clark has provided the best service I have ever had from a doctor since the doctor I had in my home town when I was a very little child. While others doctors in my experience seem to talk down or make you feel like you are inconveniencing them, Dr. Clark ALWAYS makes you feel comfortable and will explain things clearly and as often as needed. Willing to answer any and all questions. I'm very pleased to have him as our doctor for myself and my two boys. He makes my boys feel at ease when coming in for sick visits and their vaccinations.
Patient Comment 02/02/2016
Dr. Clark spent a lot of time with me and gave great explanations to my questions and his recommendations.
Patient Comment 02/02/2016
Dr. Clark provides care that I am comfortable with! I am more than pleased with his attention and guidance!

We can—and need to—be honest about how our culture creates and maintains ways to divide and undermine us. Our challenge is to change how power is expressed in our lives. Come share your hopes, concerns and solutions.

Wow. Just a few days after announcing a new school closing and outreach plan on Wednesday (School Closing Sprint), CPS revealed that it was going to ask for four more months to come up with a final list of closings.
It's neither the moratorium that CTU and others are asking for, nor the smooth launch of a new, more effective operation of the Central Office whose decisions can be trusted that others had hoped would come from the arrival of Byrd-Bennett.
What caused the sudden change of course -- legal problems, political concerns, logistical issues? Was it always in the works to ask for an extension, and nobody noticed until Friday? Whose decision was it -- Byrd-Bennett's or City Hall's? Nobody seems to know. I'm not even sure anyone's asked.
New CPS chief Bennett seeks delay in school closing list release Sun Times:The March 31 deadline would fall after CPS students complete standardized tests so they won't be distracted by news about their schools, Byrd-Bennett said. It would be after the deadline to apply to charter, magnet and selective enrollment schools, churning up another set of complications for parents that Byrd-Bennett said she hadn't yet figured out.
Chicago's Emanuel faces new clash with teachers on school closings Tribune: Facing a December 1 deadline to issue a proposed list of schools to be closed, new Chicago Public Schools chief executive Barbara Byrd-Bennett on Friday asked the state legislature for a four-month delay until March 31.
CPS wants more time to compile school closing list Tribune: Chicago Public Schools officials plan to ask the state legislature for more time before submitting a required list of school closings. The deadline is Dec. 1.
School closing decisions may be delayed until spring WBEZ: Byrd-Bennett said a moratorium is out of the question because she could be facing a $1 billion deficit in the next fiscal year. But school officials have not yet said how much money they could save by closing schools, but several observers say it won't be much.
CPS to ask to delay school action announcements Catalyst: To get the deadline postponed, a lawmaker will have introduce a bill and it would have to be voted on during the veto session that starts Nov. 27. The other co-chair of the taskforce, Rep. Cynthia Soto, said she and her colleagues have a lot of questions for CPS before they support changing the law to extend the deadline. She said they have a meeting set up.
Chicago Police arrest school closing protesters camped outside Rahm ... Sun-Times: "No more school closings," they hollered hours after the Chicago Public Schools announced a new plan to figure out which school buildings to close and which to merge. Their number grew to more than 100, their chants more elaborate.
Editorial: Schools CEO is right to reach out to parents Sun-Times: Chicago's new schools chief did something very wise on Friday. CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett spoke honestly and with real conviction about the profound distrust of CPS' leadership that runs deep in nearly every corner of Chicago.
Involving parents Tribune: Starting this month, in 70 Chicago public schools, parents who pick up their children's report cards and join in teacher conferences will receive a Walgreen reward card worth $25 in free merchandise at the chain's stores.
A Chicago Teaching Fellow's reflection: still teaching in the Chicago Public Schools White Rhino: A guest post by Dan Holder "What's up?" Dyl asks from DC, Fall 2010. He works for the Department of Justice. "Still teaching," I tell him, "but I'm thinking of applying for PhD program in History." "What are you up to?" Bri asks from Cornell, Winter 2011.

I bought 15,000 today at an average $1.28
And, as noted on the OCLR board, I am long that stock as well.
Both of these plays are going to end up providing a minimum 100% ROI in the near-term.
And that's being conservative.
APPY is on the verge of a monster run!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Great call on INO...muxnio = tool! Hahaha jajajajajajaja
How about that monster pullback on INO; mark it!
I like your conviction, I also have a 15,000 share position, at $2.00 average share value. My last purchase at 1.29 was last Monday. Now, more bleeding has occurred. What is going to stop the downtrend, tell me volume buying, that would be nice, but there isn't any! What catalyst are you thinking of, a run up toward the year end FDA decision, or will that be next year?
Sentiment: Hold
I agree. Long and strong
Averaged down again today, as the idiots seemed to be satisfied selling and shorting down to 1.22 today. Tried getting orders filled down there with no luck. We're going up up up from here.

The Art of Teaching Art: A Guide for Teaching and Learning the Foundations of Drawing-Based Art / Edition 1by Deborah A. Rockman
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 11/28/2000
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Often the finest artists do not make the best teachers. Many frustrated college students of art know this all too well as they suffer through unstructured classes with inexperienced teachers or graduate student instructors. In these situations, it is easy to blame the teachers. But the problem is largely institutional: most students graduating with MFAs from
Often the finest artists do not make the best teachers. Many frustrated college students of art know this all too well as they suffer through unstructured classes with inexperienced teachers or graduate student instructors. In these situations, it is easy to blame the teachers. But the problem is largely institutional: most students graduating with MFAs from art schools receive little if any instruction in teaching art. If you find yourself in this predicament as teacher or student, this book is for you.
The first book to provide a comprehensive guide for teaching college-level art, The Art of Teaching Art is the culmination of respected artist and instructor Deborah Rockman's two decades of teaching experience. Believing that drawing is the backbone of all of the visual arts, she begins with a complete explanation of drawing concepts that apply to any subject matter, e.g., composition, sighting processes, scaling techniques, and methods for linear and tonal development. She then illustrates these concepts with step-by-step methods that easily translate to classroom exercises. Next, she applies the drawing principles to every artist's most important and challenging subject, the human figure. After an extended section on understanding and teaching perspective that explores illusionistic form and space, the focus of the book shifts to the studio classroom itself and the essential elements that go into making an effective learning environment and curriculum. From preparing materials lists and syllabi, to setting up still-lifes, handling difficult classroom situations, critiquing and grading student artworks, and shooting slides of student artworks, she leaves no stone unturned.
