Bewitchingby Jill Barnett
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
What's a duke to do when a carefully selected bride rejects him rather than marry without love? He salvages his pride by marrying the next woman who falls into his arms. Joyous Fiona MacQuarrie bewitched the Duke of Belmore the moment she appeared from nowhere and knocked him over...literally. Joyous MacQuarrie is a Scottish witch whose powers of white magic are not always easy for her to control. When Alec's pride makes him choose to marry her, Joy turns the life of the most serious and snobbish duke in England upside down. Too soon Alec finds his well ordered and controlled life a mess, because he married a witch--one who turns him to fire when he kisses her, who charms everyone around her, and threatens to destroy both their lives as scandal looms over her. Too late, Joy discovers she's desperately in love and not even the strongest magic can seem to turn her into a proper duchess, or make her husband love her. Passion holds them spellbound in an irresistiblely funny and tender tale of two opposite but lonely hearts.

From "Bewitching"
There was magic in the air, yet few could see it.
To the mortal eye there was nothing but a brash, bullying Scottish storm that blew like the Devil's breath from the gray swirling waters of the Sound of Mull. Lightning splintered the midnight sky, and thunder bellowed. Rain poured down from the heavens, and the sea crashed against the huge granite rocks of the coast, splattering white sea-foam up the sharp cliff on which Duart Castle stood.
For five hundred of its six hundred years, the castle had been the stronghold of the clan MacLean and host to their cousins, the clan MacQuarrie. But the Battle of Culloden Moor had changed all that. On that dark, dank moor some sixty-seven years earlier, Scot stubbornness had caused many a clan to lose its holdings. The MacLeans had lost their stronghold to the Sassenach Englishmen who cared not a wit for the braw, bold power of the place. The castle stood empty now, dark and abandoned.
Or so it appeared.
The skies bellowed and crackled, and the seas roared. To mere mortals it was only another storm, but to those who knew, to those of the ancient faith, it was more than just the heavens and the earth battling.
The witches were awake.
Now, there were witches, and there were witches. And then there were the MacQuarries.
'Tis a sad tale, that of the MacQuarries, a tale that had begun hundreds of years before this night. An ancient forefather of the current MacQuarrie had been summoned to the fete of the spring equinox in what is now the south of England. There, on a wide plain, stood a massive stone temple where the witches and warlocks met to demonstrate their powers. On that special spring it had been decreed that the MacQuarrie warlock would have the cherished honor of making those most precious springtime flowers the roses bloom. Other witches and warlocks had already walked into the center of the temple and used their magic to bring life back to a winterdead earth.
'Twas a sight to see that day when, in a matter of moments, green grass broke through the sodden ground. Wallflower bushes, buttercups, and dandelions spread a frosting of bright yellow across the fresh green that had magically sprouted. Soon the barren branches of birch trees were dripping with silvery spring leaves and tall elegant alders burst anew. Oak, ash, and elm came back to life with little more than the casting of a spell, the flick of a hand, or the flashing snap of a witch's magic. The scent of jasmine, primrose, marigold, and lavender filled the cool morning air, and suddenly it was spring. Birds and insects swarmed through the air and perched in the trees, and the melody of the lark, the hum of the bees and call of doves brought music to the land that had for too many cold, dreary months been silent.
Then it was the MacQuarrie's turn. The crowd parted as he made his way to the center of the stone temple. The room was silent, so silent one could have heard a blink, as each and every witch and warlock waited for that special moment. The MacQuarrie stood there for a long moment of quiet concentration. Then slowly he raised his hands toward the massive ceiling and with a snap of his fingers, let loose his magic.
No roses bloomed that day.
Instead an enormous explosion, the like of which no one had ever seen, blew the temple walls and roof into the sky. When the dust settled and the air cleared and the witches and warlocks picked themselves up off the ground, the temple was no more. Nothing stood except a few circles of stone arches.
Modern mortals look in awe at the ruins they call Stonehenge, but mention the name Stonehenge to the witches of the world and to this very day they shake their heads in dismay and mutter about the shame of the MacQuarries.
And it came to pass that in the year of our Lord 1813 there were only two witches left in all of Scotland a MacLean and, of all things, a MacQuarrie. So on this brash night as the storm battered the shore of the isle of Mull, as it rained on the crumbling ruins of a once-proud castle perched upon that jagged stone headland, as the mortals on that tiny island cowered by their fires and listened to the heavens wait, the MacLean and the MacQuarrie made magic.
Joyous Fiona MacQuarrie bent down to pick up the scattering of books on the tower room floor. Ten golden bracelets jangled like sleigh bells down her wrists and echoed in the tense silence of the room. She was thankful for the noise; it gave her a blessed moment's respite from the impatient, penetrating glare of her aunt, the MacLean. With her face turned away from her aunt, Joy grabbed another book, tucking it under her arm as she muttered, "'Twas only one wee tad of a word." She picked up another book, to the accompaniment of those same tinkling bracelets, but as they settled on her wrists she could hear a new sound a distinct, agitated tapping.
Her aunt's foot.
Joy peeked under her outstretched arm and winced. Her aunt's arms were crossed, and she shook her golden head in disgust. But worst of all, Joy could see the MacLean's lips move: her aunt was counting again.
Joy's heart sank; she'd failed again. With a defeated sigh she quietly returned the books to their ancient oak shelf and plopped onto a wobbly wooden stool after pulling it closer to the trestle table that stood in the center of the tower room. She rested a small chin in her hand and waited for her aunt to reach a hundred at least she hoped it would be only a hundred.
A slick cat with fur as white as fresh Highland snow leapt onto the table and wound itself around and through the three time-tarnished brass candlesticks whose tapers bathed the battered oak table in flickering golden light. As the cat meandered along the table its tail cast strange shadows across the nicked tabletop. Entranced by the patterns, Joy tried to make imaginary letters out of those cat's-tail figures, her mind wandering off on one of its frequent journeys of fancy. That was her problem. She was a witch with a wandering mind.
The cat, Gabriel, was her aunt's familiar an embodied spirit in animal form whose duty was to serve, attend, and in some cases, guard a witch. She glanced at her own familiar, Beelzebub, an ermine weasel whose coat was currently winter white except for wee spots of black on his tail and paws. The snowy fur covered a massive potbelly that made him look more like a plump rabbit than a sleek, almost feline weasel. He was at that moment, as at most moments, sound asleep.
She sighed. Beezle was the only animal who was willing to be her familiar.
Cats like Gabriel were proud, arrogant animals; they absolutely refused to be associated with a witch who couldn't control her magic. Owls were too wise to ally themselves with someone as inept as Joy. And toads, well, they took one look at her, croaked, and hopped away.
Plump old Beezle wheezed in his sleep. Joy watched his black-tipped paws twitch and reminded herself that at least she had a familiar, even if he was only a weasel. As if sensing her thoughts, he cracked open one lazy brown eye and peered at her as if calmly waiting for the next disaster. She reached out to scratch his plush belly and promptly knocked over a pot of cold rose hip tea.
Gabriel hissed and sprang out of the path of the spilled tea. Beezle didn't move that fast. Beezle seldom moved at all. The tea pooled like the tide around him. He blinked twice, looked at the tea seeping onto his white fur, and gave her a look not unlike the MacLean's before he shook himself, sending a sprinkling of tea in every direction. He waddled over to a dry spot and plopped back down with a soft thud, then rolled over, paws in the air, plump white and pink belly up, and stared at the ceiling. Joy wondered if animals could count. Beezle opened his mouth and let out a loud wheeze, then a snore.
Count in their sleep, she amended, drumming her fingers on the table.
"Whatever am I to do with you?" the MacLean finally spoke, having taken enough time to count to a hundred twice. Her aunt's stance was stern, but her voice held the patience that arose from what was almost a mother's love.
That love made the situation even worse for Joy. She truly wanted to hone her magic skills for her patient aunt as well as for her own pride's sake, and she was miserable because she couldn't get it right. She absently drew one finger through the dust on the table, then looked at her aunt and mentor. "Can one word truly make such a difference?"
"Every single word is of the utmost importance. An incantation must be exact. Part of the power comes from the voice." The MacLean took a deep breath and clasped her hands behind her. "The rest takes practice. Concentration!" She paced around the circular room, her strong voice echoing off the stone walls like bagpipes in the Highlands. With the suddenness of a wink, she stopped and looked down at Joy. "Now pay attention. Watch me."
Standing to Joy's left, she raised her elegant hands high in the air, allowing the fine gold threads in her embroidered silk robe to catch the candlelight and glimmer like the twinkling of fairy dust. Joy caught her breath. Standing as she was, tall and golden with the midnight sky as a backdrop through the tower window, her aunt looked like a goddess. Her long straight hair, which hung in a gleaming satin drape past her hips to the backs of her knees, was the color of hammered gold. Her skin was as flawless as pure cream and appeared ageless in the muted glow of the candlelight. The MacLean's robe was white not the stark white of cotton or the ivory white of lamb's wool but the same shimmering white that the stars shone, that lightning sparked, that diamonds glittered and the sun glowed.
A breath of cold Scottish wind whistled through the tower room, making the candle flames flicker. The sharp smell of hot tallow mingled with the scent of midnight rain and the brine of the roiling seas that rode the whisper of wind through the room. Shadows danced a jagged jig up the granite walls, and the sound of waves crashing against the sharp coastal rocks below echoed upward, blending with the mournful call of gulls that roosted in the tower eaves. Then, with the suddenness of a lightning flash, all was still...silent.
The MacLean's deep voice called out, "Come!"
Magic quaked through the air a live, animated thing, powerful, controlled, swarming toward the wall where heavy old leather-bound books stood on an oaken shelf. A huge brown book, cracked and tattered, slowly, inch by smooth inch, slid off the shelf, turned in midair, then floated to the MacLean. It hovered near her, waiting, until she slowly lowered one arm. The book followed her movement, lighting on the table as if it were a feather instead of a three-thousand-page volume.
Joy plopped her chin into her hand and sighed. "You make it look so easy."
"'Tis easy. One must simply concentrate." Her aunt replaced the book on its shelf and turned to Joy. "Now you try it."
With pure Scots stubbornness in her dark green eyes, Joy took a deep breath, closed those eyes, and with all the drama a twenty-one-year-old witch could muster, she flung her hands up into the air. Her bracelets flew across the tower room like soaring gulls. At the first clatter of metal hitting stone, she winced, then eased open one green eye.
"Forget the bracelets! Concentrate...concentrate."
She tried to concentrate, but nothing happened. She squeezed her eyes shut even tighter.
"Picture the book moving, Joyous. Use your mind's eye."
She remembered the way her aunt had made the magic only minutes before. She threw her shoulders back and raised her determined chin, sending a thick cascade of wild and wavy mink-brown hair tumbling down to sway near the backs of her thighs. She opened her eyes and reached up higher. Taking one deep, cleansing breath for luck, she commanded, "Come!"
The book quivered, moved about two inches, then stopped.
"Come!" Joy spread her fingers wide, bit her lip, and slowly pulled her hands back toward her, mentally picturing the book drifting toward her, then hovering in the air.
The book slid forward on the shelf, just reaching the edge.
"Come!" Joy shouted in a voice as deep as Fingal's Cave. She opened her eyes, determined to move that book, then snapped her fingers for good measure.
Luckily she saw it coming and ducked. "Oh, my goodness!"
The book flew past her as if carried on a whirlwind; then the next book and the next book, then another and another, sucked from the shelf with the pulling strength of the sea tide. With a horrendous crack the bookshelf ripped from the stone walls. It flew around the room, spinning and arcing, turning and turning, faster and faster. A dented tin pail spun off to Joy's left, then clanged against the floor. A broom sped to the right; three stools twirled like dancers, then tumbled end over end to bang against a pitcher, shattering it into a thousand pieces.
Furniture crashed against the walls, splintering, cracking. Candles levitated up...up...up.... The wind howled through the room, huffing and puffing and whirling. Instinctively Joy wrapped her arms around her head and hunched over. The teapot just missed her. From somewhere she heard a cat shriek, the patter of paws running. A coal bucket sent lumps of black coal flying through the room like rocks at a stoning. Then she heard a regal sounding grunt the MacLean.
"Oh, rats!" Joy clamped her hand over her mouth as a hundred gray rats scurried into the tower room, slithering down the walls, leaping from broken furniture, running amok.
Slowly the wind died down, growing softer until it was but a whisper, and after a long moment the air was still. The only sound in the room was that of the rats' scurrying feet.
Joy heard a choked cough behind her. She straightened up and turned around.
Waving away the coal dust, a black-faced MacLean extricated herself from beneath what had once been a two-hundred-year-old throne chair. She cast a malevolent look at the rats running willy-nilly through the disaster-struck room and snapped her elegant black-smudged fingers, sending up a small cloud of coal dust. The rats disappeared.
The once-white Gabriel, outnumbered by the rats, let loose another screech and scurried in a black ball across the room and under the MacLean's filthy gown where the hemline quivered for a long moment and a little dusting of soot sprinkled onto the wood-plank floor. The only sound in the room was Beezle's wheezing. Sprawled on his back, he lay on the table, paws up, belly slowly rising with each wheeze. He'd slept through the whole thing.
One tense but despairing stare from her aunt and Joy felt the weight of the world.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, turning her guilty green eyes toward her aunt.
"I cannot let you loose on the world, Joyous. I cannot." The MacLean dusted off her hands and surveyed the destruction. "I cannot in good conscience let you live in England all alone for two years."
Her aunt looked thoughtful for a brief moment while she tapped a coal-blackened finger against her lips. "Of course, letting you live there might be just what the English deserve after Culloden Moor..."
She glanced around the cluttered room with a scowl of disgust, then shook her head. "No, no. The English are already burdened by a lunatic king and a regent who would rather play than rule."
"But "
"No." The MacLean raised her hand to silence Joy. "I know you mean well, but all the good intentions in the world cannot control...this." She waved a hand at the mess in the room, shook her head, and went on, "You need protection, my dear. Someone to watch over you."
With that she raised her sooty hands in the air, snapped her fingers, and zap! the room was back in perfect orderchairs upright and in position, stools and table and teapot all in their proper places; the pitcher in one piece, the broom and pail standing against the north wall, and all of the books lined up on the shelves like stiff English soldiers. The MacLean, suddenly spotless, was once again a vision of pure white and glimmering gold perfection.
Joy knew what her aunt was really saying: that Joyous Fiona MacQuarrie needed someone around to clean up after her, someone to undo the havoc her cockeyed magic wreaked. But Joy had lived with her aunt for fifteen years, and now she wanted a chance to live alone, to answer to no one but herself.
When she was alone, maybe she could learn to control her powers. Maybe she wouldn't feel so tense and nervous because there'd be no one to let down but herself. She was deeply hurt by her uncanny ability to always disappoint the people she most wanted to please. She stood there, defeated, guilty, unhappy, feeling despair spread through her. She hurt; she had failed, and now none of her hopes would be fulfilled.
With her aunt leaving for a council position in North America, Joy was to be alone at last, a prospect she had anticipated eagerly. Duart Castle had been leased to a group of Glasgow doctors who planned to use it to house the battered and mindshattered soldiers returning from war with Napoleon's France.
Joy was to go to her maternal grandmother's cottage in Surrey and live in relative obscurity for two years. She was sure she could learn her skills by then. She was positive. She just needed to convince the MacLean. Besides, her aunt would be gone and never know if she made a mistake or two. And there was one other argument in her favor: "If protection is what I need, how about a familiar?"
A loud feline scream cut through the air. Gabriel whipped out from under the MacLean's hem and scurried underneath a chest. He cowered in the dark, a pair of darting, wary blue eyes the only clue to his hiding place.
"My familiar," she corrected, just as Beezle twitched and snorted in his sleep. "Isn't a familiar supposed to protect a witch?"
"Joyous, the only thing that sluggish weasel will protect is his bedtime. You just cannot seem to concentrate "
"Wait!" Joy stood, suddenly hopeful. "I have an idea!" She rushed over to a small battered Larkin desk, opened it, and rummaged through until she found what she sought. "Here!" She spun around holding a piece of paper, a pen with a small black box of pen points, and a squat jar of India ink. "I'll write the incantation down first. Then I can see it, on the paper in black and white. You'll see, I know I'll be able to concentrate then, I know it. Please...just give me one more chance."
Her aunt watched her for a long, decisive moment.
"Please," Joy whispered, lowering her eyes and holding her breath while her mind chanted a litany: Give me one last chance, please...please...please...
The MacLean raised her chin. "One more time."
A smile bright enough to outshine the candle flame filled Joy's pale face. Her green eyes flashed with eagerness, and she hastened to the table, sat down on a stool, and dipped the pen tip into the ink. Smiling, she looked up.
Joyous Fiona MacQuarrie was ready.
But England wasn't.

I don't often write reviews, which is bad of me, because I ALWAYS read them before deciding to purchase. BUT, I have to say something about Betwitching. Because that's exactly what I was when I started reading. Bewitched. This is the first book by Jill Barnett that I have read, and I am heading to the ebook section as soon as I finish this to purchase another. Very often, when I get into the mood to read historical romance, I lean towards Highlanders, and the story lines, while different, are the same. I can't say that about this story. A true romance, with a little bit of white magic and a lot of love thrown into the mixture. The way Jill writes about how Joy sees and experiences things all around her make you want to stand in a field of white snow and watch the flakes fall. She is a fantastic writer, and I know that this is one of the rare novels that I will turn to read again and again.
I love that there are some tender and then laugh out loud moments tossed in. I think this is the best that she has ever written.
This book is a wonderful read with many moments of hilarity. I've never laughed so much while reading a book! This has been a favorite book of mine for nearly 15 years and I can reread it and enjoy it like it's the first time each time I pick it up.
OK-a witch and a Duke? I was prepared to roll my eyes and critique the piece negatively. BUT-the funniest (and I mean funniest) thing happened. I really fell in love with this story. Ms. Barnett does such a great job of mixing a powerful love story with great surprises and very funny situations. It is a 'make your day brighter' book-no doubt about it!
Very entertaining read. One of the few books this month that I enjoyed reading.
Just wait. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll read this book over and over again. This is the third copy of this book that I've owned. The first got wet, the second, I gave away and now I've replaced it again. The characters are fantastic. Oh, and just wait until you get to chapter 13!!! There is not a dull moment starting at page one and you'll love the rose petals too! She gives her aunt gray hair, her husband bad nerves and everyone joy, no pun intented - well maybe just a little. Read and enjoy and I guarantee you'll never forget it!!
Set mostly in the year 1814, Joyous 'Joy' Fiona MacQuarie was half mortal and half white witch. She had been raised and taught by her aunt, The MacLean, since her parents had died. No matter how hard she tried though, she could not master her magic. So often something went wrong. When her aunt had to go to America for awhile, Joy was to teleport herself to a relative's cottage. She and Beezle (a weasel - her familiar) ended up in the lap of Alec Castlemaine, Duke of Belmore. ......... Alec was the fifteenth Duke of Belmore. His father had made sure that Alec took the role seriously - too seriously! Everyone knew his coldness, even his two closest buddies, the Earl of Downe and Viscount Seymour, and all except Downe and Seymour feared him. Alec's fiancé had just ran off a day before their wedding. To stop gossip and soothe his pride, Alec married Joy. ........... Joy had tried to tell Alec she was a witch, before they married, but he refused to listen. His kisses dazzled her and before she could say, 'Oh my goodness' they were wed. From then on Alec's world was never the same. When he made Joy cry, it rained water. When he kissed Joy, it rained pink rose petals. When he made Joy angry, the clouds voiced her feelings. And because Joy loved Alec with all her heart, she would give him what he needed most ... a little magical mayhem in his dreary world. ........ ***** I have fallen in LOVE with this author! In fact, I plan to search Barnett's back list in hopes of finding a story for Letitia. Pick up this title on your next awful day and watch your day get better quickly. Therre is just no way one can NOT laugh and enjoy such a book as this!
This is my repeat book. I always come away happy. Its just mystical and my very favorite book. Enjoy.
If you are in to romance novels you'll like it but I tend to skip past the parts with the flowery prose depicting what amounts to sex. I like the story and I don't mind some romantic parts in a story if tastefully done (read: leave something to the imagination), not gratuitous amounts and not when the story would be fine with a "less is more" approach. Other than that this is a fun book, the characters are somewhat developed but I never really empathized with any of them except the main character. I'd like to see more of this story in other books but more whimsically written and with less romantic elements and more, much, much more, magical and fantastical elements. Sometimes I thought the fact that she was a witch was almost besides the point. You could probably insert many other social impediments in place of witch and it would work nearly as well with only small changes to the story needed. In short, it wasn't really a fantasy novel about a witch with some romantic elements as it was a romance story about someone who just happens to also be a witch. I wish it had been more of the former.
I bought Bewitching on sale, because it was recommended by an author I usually read. You can read the synopsis, so I'll just say that I was mesmerized by this book. There is such a wonderful feeling to the whole story. So much of the plot was unexpected. I never knew quite where it was going, but I enjoyed every bit. Basically, this is a very unusual twist on the Duke with all pride and no feelings learning to love when he marries a woman that delights in every little thing AND who just happens to be a Scottish, white witch. Read it. You won't be sorry.
If I could have given the book 4.5 stars, I would have. It was funny in parts--especially Chapter 13--and it was definitely a change from the "typical" romance novel. However, I found the main hero to be tiresome and certain aspects, like the ultimatum near the end, did not make sense to me.
I absolutely adored this book. It was the first I had read by this author and was very entertained! The main character was so charming and endearing, clumsy, and so funny. I laughed out loud many times, and got thoroughly caught up in the romance. Highly recommend!
This was a wonderful story. I do not usually like magic type books but this was laugh out loud funny. The characters we great. The emotions were heartfelt; love, sadness, joy, hurt it was done very well.
Loved this story..i became emotionally involved with the characters..my stomach would twist in knots when i became worried..i smiled at the romantic bits...and laughed at the humorous comments.this book truly had everything.a battle between man and himself.a romantic love story without being too vulgar.a focus on the value of family.and a magical twist.i was sad it ended.i may have fallen in love with a fictional character named Alec...oops
Overall this was a good read. It was humorous and I found myseld invested in the characters. However, I wish more would've been written on the magical side of the story. That, and the Duke is a total ass who got off too easy (but isn't that the case in most of these stories?) Maybe the author will expand on the stories of the rest of the book's magical members....one can only hope...... I would love to ready about Jonathan's story!
Funny, Sexy, Real love throughout... Joyous and Alec find and learn to love and with each other with a bit of help from some special people... Sit down read and enjoy. Moving on to the next book Dreaming, :)
Really enjoyed would love to read more from this writer. She has a wicked sense of humor, hope her future stories are as amusing. Definetly a five star and plus more.
Loved every seconed!
Don't usually write reviews but this romantic novel is a rare exception... Truly one of the funniest books I've read... I mean laugh out loud funny. Good story line and well develped characters. A must read definitely!
Real good read. Should be made into a movie.
This was a wonderful book. There were times when I laughed out loud and other times when I cried. I was pulled in and felt a part of the book. This is not a disappointment but a very enjoyable story. I highly reccommend it. If I could have given it 10 stars, I would have.
This book will have you intreaged the first page in. You will laugh, you will get mad and you will cry. A book you will not want to put down.
If you are looking for a good laugh and some romance than this is the book for you! Jill Barnett has just the right blend of both in her book and I always enjoy reading them. It isn't often that a book will be able to make you laugh out loud and cry. A must read!
best read in along time. kept me wanting more
This is a good book. Any book that can make me laugh and tear up, yell at or advise the characters, is a good book. This book did all three. READ IT...

There is no puzzle about this. It forms part of a traditional French marriage between self-interest and human relations. The table is where you are most likely to see those you most care about, and probably the only place you see your family.
My wife's family vaguely centres its summers in a large, leafy house hard by Grenoble, which has, among its many rooms, two centres: two kitchens. And now that the presiding cooks of those kitchens have both died, there are as many competing meals as there are heirs.
My wife's cousins, and collateral cousins, amis de coeur and just plain friends, have been through Sete in a regular rhythm for the past fortnight. Food has been much talked about and much consumed. Custom has it that each will display his or her talents in the kitchen, and earnest discussions take place the night before, concerning the shopping of the following morning, the availability of ingredients, recipes to be used, who's best at what, the inner balance of tastes and colours.
As most of us are inexact cooks - that is, we tend not to follow slavishly the recipes we use - the three main dishes I describe below cannot be accurately traced to their origins, but they are among the highlights of our holidays; and, again unsurprisingly, they are a product of all that talking and thinking about food, part of a general food culture which may be on its way out but seems to be surviving well in our family.
Cousin Edith's Lotte Mauresque
Down here, the monkfish has two names: lotte and baudroie, the latter being the whole fish, the former the more delicate and prized tail. Almost any firmly fleshed white fish can be used for this recipe.
Serves 6
Ingredients: 3lb (1.3kg) monkfish in filleted pieces
2oz (50-60g) tomato concentrate
glass of white wine
1 large onion and clove of garlic
7fl oz (200ml) creme frache
1 level tbs curry
butter for frying
Preparation: Gently cook onion and garlic in butter until wilted; add fish, then wine and tomato concentrate and curry. Cook for 10 minutes, then flambe in cognac and remove; strain the sauce as finely as possible (in muslin or the finest sieve you have) and add creme frache at the end. Serve with sprinkled parsley.
Nathalie's French Osso Bucco or Veal Shanks
Serves six
Ingredients: 6 veal shanks on the bone, cut about 1 1/2 in thick and
preferably of the same size
1 lemon
2 or 3 large onions
2 1/2 pints (2 litres) white wine
1lb (450g) ripe tomatoes, peeled
bouquet garni
2 cloves garlic
zest of 1 orange
1tbs paprika
oil for frying
Preparation: Brown onions in oil; remove and brown the meat, previously rubbed with lemon and lightly dusted with flour. Flambe with cognac. Moisten with white wine; add tomatoes, bouquet garni, browned onions, salt, pepper, pressed garlic, zest of orange and paprika. Cook for 2 hours (until meat is tender and separating from the bone).
Botsford's Lamb with Apricots
We are fortunate to live on the sea, for fish, and with a hinterland that produces splendid lamb. For this dish, the lamb is just about right in age in the late summer; because of the powerful flavours, to use young lamb would be wasteful.
Serves 6
Ingredients: boned leg of lamb cut into chunks about 2in square with as much fat removed as possible
2oz (60g) butter
1 large onion chopped fine
2 cloves garlic unpeeled
about 20 dried apricots
some fresh almonds
12 walnuts, crushed
currants (white and black)
1tbs balsamic vinegar
juice of 2 lemons
1/2 pint (300ml) stock (chicken or lamb)
1 3/4 pints (1 litre) white wine
3 bay leaves
small sprig rosemary
1tbs fresh thyme
1tbs hot paprika
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation: Brown lamb chunks, lightly floured, in butter in which onions have been wilted. Soak dried apricots in water for 1 hour. Stuff them with almonds and add to the meat, plus lemon juice, stock, wine, herbs, paprika and garlic. Turn regularly. When the meat begins to cook add vinegar, walnuts and currants. Simmer, covered, on a low heat for about 2 hours. Check flavouring regularly. The blend of smells and tastes should be both light and 'high' (lemons and wine), and dark, rich and 'low', or earthy (vinegar and currants). Far from rendering this dish sweet, the apricots make it slightly tart.Reuse content

I've mentioned a few times in the last couple of months that I was running the . It was my 3rd half marathon and I trained the hardest I had ever trained for a race. Here's a little recap of the race and my results.
My wonderful sister came into town to babysit for us so my husband and I were able to leave the house extra early, arriving at our parking spot right after 6am. We had a mile to walk to the start but since it was freezing, we jogged and this served as a nice warm-up. We dropped our dry bags off and headed for the bathrooms. While standing in those lines we were able to get our Garmins straight (after some issues with my husband's).
After the National Anthem we were off to find our corral! We were in corral 3 but ended up in the back of corral 2 and it was perfect. We got our music started, gave our kisses of good luck and were off! My husband and I separated shortly after the start and I settled in on a pretty nice pace of under a 9 minute mile. I easily kept this pace until about mile 9 when I went up a few seconds to about a 9:10 pace. Then mile 10 my music started bothering me and while messing with that I dropped to a 9:30. I realized I had lost some time so got myself back to about a 9:10 pace but had messed my pace all up and struggled to keep below a 9:30 until mile 12.5. Knowing the end was near I jacked it back up and finished the race at 8:29 pace.
I was THRILLED because my Garmin watch had me at my goal-a sub 2:00 half marathon (barely)! The Garmin had me at 1:59:48 which had me nervous because I know watches and official times don't always jive. I decided that no matter what, I was ecstatic about my finish-it was 12 minutes faster than my previous time! I waited at the finish and gulped a water and Gatorade while waiting for my husband who also had a PR of 6 minutes! It was a successful race for both of us. When getting the "official time" later in the day, I learned I had finished in 2:00:36 but that's still a PR of 11 minutes and I am still wanting to say I met my goal of a sub 2:00 half!
Many of my friends had PRs that day too,including one who was in the top 500 racers!
Did you run? How was it for you? I am already looking forward to next year!

We negotiate all the time – with bosses, friends, clients, spouses, colleagues, vendors and others. Although negotiations are a daily occurrence, many of us know little about the factors that influence negotiation processes and outcomes. Through a series of exercises, this program will help participants become better negotiators by better understanding people and situations, corresponding negotiating strategies, and influencing techniques. The results of these exercises will be posted and debriefed so that the class can learn from everyone's experience. Participants will leave the program with a set of negotiation principles based in research and the capability to apply them to enhance personal gains in negotiations while simultaneously sustaining long term relationships. Register online.
Upcoming Dates: Fall 2016, TBD
Tuition: $2,500; Tuition includes class materials, and daily breakfast and lunch. It is expected that applicants have their own health insurance valid in the United States. The university is not responsible for medical expenses incurred by participants during the program.
Hajo Adam, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Management
- Build awareness of the values, motivations and psychological biases that drive people's behaviors in negotiations and conflict situations.
- Familiarity with the basic skills, concepts and principles that enable better negotiation outcomes in a variety of contexts.
- Discuss recent empirical research findings on negotiations and related topics.
- Engage in exercises and simulations that illustrate important elements and aspects of negotiation situations.

Fortunately, we were able to access Google Maps […]

Join Health Quality Ontario (HQO) as it hosts Health Quality Transformation 2014 on November 20, 2014.
Stigma and discrimination can take place anywhere. When it occurs in a health care setting, it can act as a barrier to high-quality care for people living with mental illness and substance use problems. This makes it an urgent and complex public health issue.
On Tuesday, October 7, 2014, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Heath's Health Promotion Resource Centre hosted a webinar to launch an updated version of the Best Practice Guidelines for Mental Health Promotion Programs: Children and Youth.
Post-secondary life can be overwhelming, but students are often unaware of how to access help when they have mental health problems. Sometimes, they're unable to get professional services in a timely way due to long wait lists or restrictions on the number of counseling sessions available to them.
What are the common pathways leading youth into and out of homelessness? This is the question that guides a new research study in Winnipeg, Manitoba. By understanding these pathways, the study hopes to address barriers facing homeless youth and ultimately lead to a more collaborative system. Read the full report.

Helps my restless legs better than anything else.
By lyn
from Warren, Oh
My restless leg syndrome starts about 10pm while watching TV and is very frustrating. Walking around doesn't help me. I can't sit still and the creepy crawly feelings drive me nuts. This cream helps better than anything I've tried. The trick is to use the cream before the restless legs get too bad.
Love this stuff!

Kevin Fowler's 'Daddies and Daughters' Father's Day Fan Video
Good luck with this one. If your dad is anything like mine you have a hard enough time taking a pic of the two of you to put on "spacebook," let alone a music video (see the pic below).
Good luck with this one. If your dad is anything like mine you have a hard enough time taking a pic of the two of you to put on "spacebook," let alone a music video (see the pic below).
As a mom I can say that pregnancy is amazing. You are growing a life inside you and it is unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life. The only thing I wish, is that my husband could experience some of those amazing moments.
This Father's Day, make sure to get dear ol' dad an extra special gift because he's taking extra special care of you these days.
Father's Day is this Sunday (6/15), so I thought we would take a look at 10 of TV's favorite Dads.
There are so many that have graced our television sets over the years that it's hard to just list 10, so I'm sure that there are some names that I have overlooked.
I don't know if it's me, but it often seems like dads get over looked a lot. There are really a lot of awesome dads out there and more and more stay at home dads. Here is a funny little rap about a 'Dad's Life.'
Father's Day is fast approaching and we believe Dad deserves just as much man-pampering on his special day as Mom does on Mother's Day.
Father's Day -- it's the one time of the year you can tell the old man you appreciate how much he tolerates you constantly hitting him up for advice, wisdom and money.
The Major League Baseball Lifetime Pass is a little-known perk rarely handed out to MLB players, personnel and fans. Much like its name would suggest, the gold-plated pass grants the person to whom it is issued a lifetime of access to any MLB stadium...
Retailers and greeting card companies would like you to think Father's Day is just as important as Mother's Day. Is that really the case?
The Amarillo Sox will have free admission to this Sunday's game for fathers day.
Is there any home accessory more fought over than the remote control? TV-loving dads have long had to establish that they are masters of their domain by commandeering the clicker from the kids.
Father's Day is this Sunday and today at noon, tune in a special edition of the Buffet. You've sent me your favorite Father's Day Song and I'm going to play them starting at noon...

Today we feature some charts and graphs that show the make-up of the Americans who do not pay federal income taxes. We also have a great article on the important but overlooked payroll tax cut which is due to expire at the end of the year, and another about how effective tax cuts for the poor have been for poverty alleviation and how it was an issue that both parties could agree on in the past.
Who doesn't pay taxes, in eight charts
Washington Post, Brad Plumer, 9/18/2012
A leaked fundraising video caused a stir Monday when it showed Mitt Romney taking a rather caustic view of Obama supporters.
In particular, Romney bemoaned the fact that nearly half the country doesn't pay federal income taxes: "These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect. … [M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
So why don't many Americans pay income taxes? And what taxes do they pay? Let's try to do a comprehensive breakdown in — yes — charts:
Chart: Cutting Taxes to Nothing
New York Times, 9/18/2012
We couldn't embed the chart, but it's worth clicking the link and taking a look.
The Forgotten Payroll Tax Cut and the Fiscal Cliff
Firedoglake, David Dayen, 9/18/2012
" . . . there is one meeting of some importance going on in Washington this week. The House Ways and Means Committee, the main tax-writing body, will meet in a bipartisan closed session tomorrow to go over the spate of expiring tax measures that hit at the end of the year.
It's the biggest issue facing Congress right now: the Dec. 31 expiration of all income tax rates, unemployment benefits and the payroll tax holiday. Ways and Means – chaired by Michigan Rep. Dave Camp – is ground zero for this fight.
The Bush tax cuts, mostly focused on the wealthy, target those with a lower propensity to spend.
As a postscript, you gotta love this from a defense lobbyist:
"Regardless of who wins, the big deal will have tax increases and spending cuts," said one defense lobbyist, who asked not to be identified. "The ratio will just be different. With taxes playing a smaller role in a Republican plan, entitlement programs like Medicare will have to play a bigger one to protect defense."
Surely we can all agree that Lockheed Martin needs the money more than an 85 year-old on a fixed income.
Tax Cuts For The Poor Used To Be A Bipartisan and Highly Effective Way To Fight Poverty
Slate, Matthew Yglesias, 9/18/2012
Mitt Romney's disparaging remarks about people who have no net federal income tax burden struck me particularly, because just last week I wrote a column on some new research which shows that tax cuts for the poor have, over the past forty years, been one of America's most effective anti-poverty programs. The official federal poverty statistics, sadly, don't capture this because they only measure pre-tax income, even though after-tax income is what really matters.
Of course partisan politics has been happening all this time. But these have been fairly bipartisan causes. Tax cuts for the poor happened under Richard Nixon and under Ronald Reagan. Tax cuts for the poor was something the Clinton administration and the House GOP was able to agree on. Tax cuts for the poor were a small-but-real element of George W. Bush's 2001 tax cut. Democrats like to help poor people and Republicans don't like taxes, so helping the poor with lower taxes is often something they can agree on. It's a real shame that the official data doesn't capture how successful this is, but it's basically common sense. A conservative movement that can't bring itself to want to help poor people with lower taxes is one that really doesn't care about poor people in a profound way.
Follow Americans for Tax Fairness on Twitter and Facebook. Right now is the best time to spread far and wide that we just can't afford to continue the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2 percent.

Foreclosure cancellations spike in CA., O.C.
Lenders canceled foreclosures at a record pace last month in Orange County and throughout California – the largest month-over-month spike in cancellations since 2006, a report from a foreclosure data firm shows.
In Orange County, cancellations rose 59 percent from September -- from 819 to 1,302 cancellations in October – and 52 percent from October, 2011, according to ForeclosureRadar.com.
Statewide, cancellations increased 62 percent from September and were up 37 percent from a year ago.
Foreclosures have been declining as lenders have modified more mortgages and allowed more short sales – selling for less than what is owed on the mortgage. But the October cancellations likely also were driven by lenders complying with new consumer protection laws to prevent struggling homeowners from being foreclosed in the middle of their efforts to save their residences.

IdeaVillage Products Corp. is using infomercials at its web site and attached to e-mail marketing messages as a way to extend the impact of the infomercials.
At IdeaVillage Products Corp., infomercials are central to its strategy of introducing unusual but useful products like the Finishing Touch personal hair remover and the Handy Stitch handheld sewing machine. The TV advertising programs produce sales that amount to double the cost of the infomercials themselves, says Jordan Pine, director of marketing for IdeaVillage. "For every dollar spent on advertising, we take in two dollars in sales," Pine says.
But the windfall in infomercial direct sales and profits is only intended to run several months to a year, as the early interest generated by TV gives way to a broad availability of IdeaVillage's products in stores. Now IdeaVillage has found a way to increase direct sales during that short window of opportunity, and at even lower cost, by combining infomercials with e-mail and the web, Pine says.
IdeaVillage refers consumers to a product-ordering web page through the placement of the IdeaVillage.com address in an infomercial, search engine results, online banner ads and e-mailed marketing messages. The banner ads and e-mail messages are attached to rich media infomercial tapes, which allow consumers to immediately click on and view an infomercial. "The web is more cost-effective," Pine says. "More people are comfortable buying over the web than ordering over the phone after seeing an infomercial." Web view-to-order rates run about 30%, Pine says.
Although he doesn't have comparable hard data to show view-to-order rates for orders placed over the phone, he figures the web offers a higher sales conversion rate because it enables consumers to avoid the prospect of being upsold, which he says many find uncomfortable. "People feel they don't have as much control on the phone because they're concerned they'll be up-sold," Pine says. "But on the web, if they don't want to be upsold, they just close out the upsell windows."
IdeaVillage outsources its web marketing to Livemercial Inc., which links infomercial tapes to e-mail and banner ads. Livemercial also provides a link from each infomercial to a product-ordering web page. Pine attributes much of his web success to the combination of having e-mailed infomercials link directly to a product-ordering page.
The effectiveness of the multi-prong web strategy has pushed the web's share of direct sales to 25% or more, up from 2% under an earlier web strategy of forwarding infomercial viewers to an online shopping mall that included IdeaVillage.com, Pine says.
In a separate infomercial strategy, Infomercial Partners-a startup joint venture of Infomercial Monitoring Service Inc. and SmartVideo Technologies Inc.-plans to begin providing this fall around-the-clock on-demand streaming video of more than 200 infomercials through a new web site, IMSTV.com.
