CytoSport Muscle Milk Light - Chocolate
Product Overview
CytoSport Muscle Milk Light - Chocolate
CytoSport Muscle Milk Light - Chocolate
Meal Replacement Supplement
1.65 lb (750 g)
AllegroMedical.com presents The CytoSport Muscle Milk Light - Chocolate Meal Replacement Supplement. CytoSport has been overwhelmed by the amazing success of Muscle Milk. If there has been one repeated request, it's "Make Muscle Milk with less fat and fewer calories, but keep the SAME GREAT MUSCLE MILK TASTE!" Well...we heard you. INTRODUCING MUSCLE MILK LIGHT Same great performance, same great taste 50% less fat and 33% fewer calories than genuine muscle milk. MUSCLE MILK LIGHT is scientifically designed for individuals who want to maximize lean muscle gains while reducing caloric intake. PRECISION PROTEIN BLEND MUSCLE MILK LIGHT contains a precise blend of rapid releasing whey and slower digesting micellar casein from Milk Protein Isolate/Concentrate and Calcium and Sodium Caseinate to create a constant supply of amino acids, the building blocks of muscle tissues. CHOOSE THE RIGHT KIND OF FAT! The LEANLIPIDS used in MUSCLE MILK LIGHT are more likely burned for muscle energy and heat than stored as fat. Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), the pre-digested, "fast-burning fats" help provide the caloric energy needed to fuel exercise and recovery. Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated fatty acids from canola and sunflower oil provide essential omega-3, 6 & 9 fatty acids. CHOOSE CARBOHYDRATES WISELY. Zero-lactose, starch-based complex carbs found in MUSCLE MILK LIGHT, supply energy to the body in the form of glucose. Glucose is the only energy source for red blood cells and a preferred energy source for exercising muscles that are operating anaerobically. Since we founded CytoSport in 1998, we've been dedicated to working with sports scientists, coaches and trainers to redefine protein enhanced products for active lifestyles and serious athletes-supporting performance when it matters. Over the years, we've expanded to create a comprehensive line that encompasses the athletic experience from preparation, to hydration, to recovery. Our products are among the very few that are manufactured in a NSF International GMP for Sport Registered facility. Our facilities are also inspected and regulated by the FDA. We carefully manufacture our powder products and ready-to-drink pre-blends onsite at our corporate campus in Benicia, California. Making efficacious products for athletes and active lifestyle individuals requires responsibility on all fronts. As our business has grown, so has our footprint. We have made environmental sustainability a focus and driver in everyday decision making. For more, please visit our website. Through it all, CytoSport has been committed to one thing, building athletes from the inside out. Greg and Mike Pickett, Father/Son. 25g Lean Protein. Lactose Free. 20 Vitamins & Minerals.
Mix 1 scoops (25g) into 5-6 fl oz water. Mix 2 scoops (50g) into 10-12 fl oz water.MUSCLE MILK LIGHT can be used before workouts, after workouts, or prior to bedtime. Individual nutritional requirements vary depending on gender, body weight, level of activity and exercise/training intensity. CytoSport products complement a healthful eating and hydration plan that, when combined with a balanced exercise program, may contribute to healthy weight management and recovery from exercise. Use 1-3 servings (25g per serving) per day as part of a well-balanced diet that includes whole foods and other protein sources.
Protein Blend (calcium and sodium caseinate, milk protein isolate and/or concentrate, whey protein isolate and/or concentrate, L-glutamine, whey peptides, lactoferrin, taurine), maltodextrin, Lean Lipids Blend (sunflower oil, medium chain triglycerides, canola oil, L-carnitine), alkalized cocoa power, natural and artificial flavor, vitamin and mineral blend, crystalline fructose, potassium bicarbonate and/or potassium chloride, gum blend (cellulose gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan), salt, acesulfame potassium, sucralose, soy lecithin.

"United States v. Windsor was a landmark ruling, and the case's architect, Roberta Kaplan, emerged as a true American hero. Then Comes Marriage is a riveting account of a watershed moment in our history, and the strategy, ingenuity, and humanity that made it happen." — President Bill Clinton
and the
Roberta Kaplan's gripping story of her defeat of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) before the Supreme Court.
Renowned litigator Roberta Kaplan knew from the beginning that it was the perfect case to bring down the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Edie Windsor and Thea Spyer had been together as a couple, in sickness and in health, for more than forty years—enduring society's homophobia as well as Spyer's near total paralysis from multiple sclerosis. Although the couple was finally able to marry, when Spyer died the federal government refused to recognize their marriage, forcing Windsor to pay a huge estate tax bill.
In this gripping, definitive account of one of our nation's most significant civil rights victories, Kaplan describes meeting Windsor and their journey together to defeat DOMA. She shares the behind-the-scenes highs and lows, the excitement and the worries, and provides intriguing insights into her historic argument before the Supreme Court. A critical and previously untold part of the narrative is Kaplan's own personal story, including her struggle for self-acceptance in order to create a loving family of her own.
Then Comes Marriage tells this quintessentially American story with honesty, humor, and heart. It is the momentous yet intimate account of a thrilling victory for equality under the law for all Americans, gay or straight.

Vitae Pharmaceuticals Opens Phase 2a Proof-of-Concept Trial of VTP-38543 in Atopic Dermatitis Patients |
This proof-of-concept trial will be Vitae's first assessment of VTP-38543 in humans, and is a randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple ascending topical doses of VTP-38543 in approximately 100 adult patients with mild to moderate AD. Top-line results from this trial are expected in the second half of 2016.
"Atopic dermatitis represents a significant unmet medical need, with a health-related quality of life impact exceeding that of asthma, epilepsy and diabetes. Current therapies address the inflammation associated with the disease, but do not directly address the accompanying breakdown of the skin's barrier function, which can be an important independent driver of the disease process," said Dr. About Atopic Dermatitis Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin condition affecting approximately 17.5 million infants, adolescents and adults in the U.S. It is characterized by intense itching and is caused by both inflammation and a breakdown of the skin's barrier function. Activation of LXR in skin keratinocytes, the most common cell type in the outer layer of skin, has been shown to increase the formation of corneocytes and the production of lamellar lipids (the 'bricks and mortar' of the outer layer of skin). LXR activation also has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect in skin equivalent to a high potency corticosteroid. Vitae believes that increasing LXR activity with VTP-38543 may be beneficial for AD patients by both decreasing skin inflammation and repairing the damaged outer layer of skin. About VTP-38543 VTP-38543 is Vitae's LXRβ selective agonist with the potential to significantly impact the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), a common inflammatory skin disease. In preclinical studies, VTP-38543 was shown to increase LXR activity, decrease skin inflammation, and increase the production and secretion of lipids necessary for maintaining the barrier function, resulting in a potentially superior therapy for AD.

How to add vacation auto response in squirrelmail? I look around sqmail website and those are only support file base. even the sql lookup one also put a .vacation file under user dir. But I know that ISPConfig will store the auto response in db. So, how to make it to user can put by themselves? Thanks.
You might have to write a plugin for squirrelmail if you want to configure vacation from within squirrelmail. Or you use roundcube instead as Horfic has build a great plugin to configure these settings from roundcube.

Hotel Villa Glamour

Price From
View RoomsThis hotel doesn't have any reviews yet.
About the hotel
The Villa Glamour is an atypical 17 room hotel: "A romantic gem in a typically Parisian style. " It's a large, welcoming residence where intimacy – and especially romance – reigns, with a small outdoor courtyard for enjoying breakfast in nice weather. The Villa Glamour is an older private mansion – a beautiful residence that was once home to a family from the French grande bourgeoisie or aristocracy.
Our themed rooms brilliantly combine charm, romance and outstanding comfort. The hotel is located in the Trocadéro/Arc de Triomphe/Eiffel Tower triangle, offering the Parisian style of the 16th arrondissement, at the crossroads of two avenues: Avenue Georges Mandel - one of the most prestigious avenues in Paris where great stars such as Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo once lived (and where other well-known personalities live today) – and Avenue Victor Hugo.

Product Notes
Being the spouse, siblings or parents of a musician is trying. Musicians Get lost in the subtleties of note sequences, doing them over and over until eureka, there is something that sounds great and voila, another outlet of expression. So a special thanks to anyone out there who has done their share of listening to the practicing musician. Going somewhere with the music is always a challenge. The music and lyrics is a tapestry capturing something beyond personal experience and the performance and talent of the musician. Re-creating a time, an era, or an ambiance is like a time machine, triggering the mind to remember. Not everyone is a John Lennon, Chris Martin or Bruce Cockburn, but with the age of the internet and the myriad of choices it offers, we can find unique treasures. We do it with art, fashion and décor. We express ourselves. Where time has no continuity, where experience is a state of mind, where anything can happen and all is understood, we will find music to compel us.

Posted on 03/25/2007 3:27:21 PM PDT by Upton O. Goode
I had someone give me a price for "10 yards of top soil".
I'm thinking yard by yard by yard - 10 in each direction
cubic yards. But 10 piles of one cubic yard. not 10x10x10.
That's cubic yards. 27 cubic feet. At a depth of 4" thats 810 sq feet of coverage.
10 cubic yards of dirt.
One cubic yard is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet = 27 cubic feet.
Ten yards of dirt would be 270 cubic feet of topsoil.
Yes, it would be cubic yards. From that it is easy to calculate how far it would spread to any particular thickness.
That would be 1,000 cubic yards.
If it's a nursery, they usually mean cubic. An 8' bed of a pickup is about 2 yds, and that is cubic. Hope this helps a little.
Ten Yard Dump body.
It's typically 2" for depth and 3x3 yards (or 9.??? x 9.??? ft.) I get a 4 yards of mulch every year and this means I can cover a an area 15.5' X 15.5' to a depth of 2".
I am pretty sure he is referring to a quanty of 10 1 yard cubes of dirt, which is how they measure concrete. So the size of the actual cube would be the cube root of 10 or 2.1544 yard or 77.55 inch cube. What is more practical though is to know what size area you plan to spread it and then determine how many inches of soil that is.
Thanks, that's what I would think, if it were cubic yards, but there is no way this guy delivered, in my driveway, a pile of dirt that was 30 feet by 30 feet by 30 feet. Also, there is no way he delivered a pile that was 1 yard by 1 yard by 10 yards, ie., 3 feet by 3 feet by 30 feet high. The guy delivered a pile that was about 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 to at most 4 feet high. I can't see how that is 10 yards, but he charged my 30 dollars per yard, i.e. $300.00. I think he ripped me off.
1 yard = a cube 3 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot
which = 27 cubic feet
so 10 yards would = 270 cubic feet
which would cover an area of 270 square feet 1 foot in depth
or at only half that depth twice the area (540 sqft)
540 sqft would be a 23ft by 23ft area (approx)
some allowance should be made for the settling as dirt is delivered in a loose state
Thanks, I think that must be what it is (see my previous comment on 10 cubic yards). These measurements sound more in line with what he delivered. However, I think the price was excessive.
Stop Payment. unless there was a pile that would fill to the brim, that truck inpost #10, my FRiend, you got hosed
Another way to look at it, topsoil weighs roughly a ton a yard, so 10 ton will be around 200 wheelbarrows full @ 100 lbs each
Ten yards would would cover an area about 10 x 10 by about six feet high when dumped out of a truck. If it was not a dump truck, a fairly big one at that, then you got taken.
Would you like an acre of water to go with that 10 yards of topsoil?
Its cubic yards.
You can get any amount, but a short load is going to cost more per yard, as you are mainly paying for the haul.
It's HUGH!
Dirt cheep is a misnomer. Just like in the Esquire magazine good dirt costs.
That's an entire weekend of shoveling and wheelbarrowing. And you'll be sore until Tuesday.
Had some landscaping done at my place. The landscaper was moonlighting from Homedepot but ordered 3 yards from another firm. Dumptruck came and delivered, the landscaper looked at it, told the driver it wasn't 3 yards and we weren't paying. Major bru-ha-ha. Major. Dumptruck driver drove off in a rage. The owner of the truck firm was there in an hour, mad as hell. He took a look at the delivery, agreed with landscaper and said the order was free.
I bought a half yard of gravel the other day. It was one bulldozer scoop's worth, cost 14 dollars.
I can never keep them cubits straight either. Ended my boat building career it did...;)
That's cubic yards. 27 cubic feet. At a depth of 4" thats 810 sq feet of coverage.
That's cubic yards. 27 cubic feet. At a depth of 4" thats 810 sq feet of coverage.
That's cubic yards. 27 cubic feet. At a depth of 4" thats 810 sq feet of coverage.
That's cubic yards. 27 cubic feet. At a depth of 4" thats 810 sq feet of coverage.
Gravel, sand, dirt, etc are sold by the cubic yard. Tandem trucks hold 10-12 cubic yards and trailer trucks hold 24 cubic yards. Those are the two basic sizes that are used in the construction business. Typically, these truck owners are independent contractors.

I love this blush. But it is summer blush for me. I was wearing it almost 4 months in a row ;) It is in my Top 5 blush collection :D
OdgovoriIzbrišiDammnit, woman! Just when I convinced myself I don't need this blush... here you are. I thought Orgasm was pretty, but coral is much more my style. Yeps, I might need this. Great review!
OdgovoriIzbrišiGorgeous shade. You are right about it suiting warmer skin tones more, though it certainly complements you too.
http://idareagain.blogspot.com/Yes, it looks similar to Benefit's coralista, Nars looks more apricot-like. I really liked the look of this blush. Perfect for a warm-toned skin like me. I hate the front packaging though and i would detest keeping it in my stash.
Chaste & BeautifulNe vem zakaj sem vedno mislila, da mi Nars Orgasm ne bi bil všeč, ampak glede na tvoje swatche pa izgleda še najbolj kot ''moj'' odtenek :)
Morem pa še tega enkrat poswatchat v trgovini, zadnjič ko sem ga na hitro mi je bil čisto meh odtenek.

1944 Colt M1911A1
British Lend Lease
Colts made M1911A1 pistol serial #1635678 was shipped in August of 1944 to the
Transportation Officer, Springfield Armory.
This pistol has all of the characteristics and features of a Colts made
mid war 1911A1 including: Serrated ramp front sight, wide spur hammer,
checkered slide stop, thumb safety and hammer, wide square notch rear sight,
stamped trigger, Plastic stocks with large rings around the screw holes, and
an un-serialed slide. The
mainspring housing has serrations instead of the earlier checkering.
This pistol ended the war in England yet probably never was issued
going by its "New" condition. If
this pistol could talk, it would probably not be able to tell any interesting
stories as it probably spent its entire life in a warehouse. The British proof
marks, including a "Released British Government 1952" and "Not English
Make" marking, were applied prior to its export from England.
Most collectors consider British proofmarks on a 1911A1 to be an
undesirable characteristic and the marks will often decrease a pistols value
somewhat. Whereas others consider
that the particular brand of defacement the British used with these pistols is
an acceptable penalty, to get these pistols out of their hands before they
have the chance to turn them into scrap metal, in their single minded drive to
make England safe for "Tea and Crumpets." Should
the prices of these British proofed pistols rise to where a premium is
required for purchase, perhaps it should be considered as a "Ransom
payment" rather than a premium. (British marks are usually found on
Lend-Lease Act guns).
made at Colts Manufacturing Co. from about serial #848000 to about serial
#2360400 generally have applied the final Ordnance acceptance mark of "G.H.D."
that was applied by civilian inspectors at Colts under the authority of
Colonel Guy H. Drewry. Mr. Drewry was promoted to Brigadier General on September 10
1942 and he was therefore a General Officer at the time this pistol was
1911A1 was once part of the Julius T. Kosan collection. There are numerous
photographs of Mr. Kosan's in such books as: "COLT .45 SERVICE PISTOLS"
by Charles Clawson" and "U.S. MILITARY AUTOMATIC PISTOLS 1894 – 1920"
by E.S. Meadows. As such, these pistols are usually the among best examples to
be found anywhere and are often used as reference examples for the various

Do not avert your eyes - we all need to see and hear this.
And can someone tell me why it is only Andrew Coyne that is calling out the Con Operatives on this crap?
Not to mention the even more putrid crap that is being peddled/wurlitzered by David Adkin et al. that no one else in the proMedia will denounce as the tripe that it is.

Gerardo Sagredo (1692 - 1738), the subject of the engraved portrait in the background, was elected Procurator of S. Marco in 1718. This portrait is a variation of an engraving by Andrea Zucchi (based on a full-length painting of Sagredo by Uberti). The scene is perhaps set in the Sagredo Palace, Venice. The picture has been thought to represent a family group or a scene from a play but conclusive evidence is lacking.
It seems likely that this painting dates from the first half of the 1750s. A drawing for the two women on the left is in the Museo Correr, Venice.

Jessica KellerOk. The unicorns head is too small.The elf's hands are messed up. Same with her arms. I do love the unicorns body though. No it is not realistic. 'Twas not meant to be. It's meant to be all curvy and muscular with legs that are too long. The body of the unicorn turned out perfectly for what I wanted it to be.

BASEBALL'S vernacular was once so quaint, thanks to the wit and wisdom of Casey Stengel and Branch Rickey. It was so illustrative, with its ''Tinker to Evers to Chance'' and its ''Spahn and Sain and pray for rain'' ditties. And some of its most famous monikers -- Joltin' Joe, Hammerin' Hank, the Splendid Splinter -- brought only joy, not pain.
Then the real world intruded and by 1994 the game was awash with a whole new vocabulary. Lockouts. Strikes. Replacement players. Salary caps. Collusion. Luxury taxes. Thresholds. Revenue sharing. Mediation boards. Arbitration. Antitrust exemptions.
Attache cases and briefs replaced bats and balls as weapons of choice. When the won-lost records of union and management superseded those of pennant contenders and Cy Young winners, the formula for disaster was set.
Now the war that began with the hard-set position of owners protecting the reserve clause a quarter of a century ago is about to enjoy another truce. Peace is at hand, battle-scarred owners and players are saying, an indication that they are finally ready to drive a stake through the still-simmering strike of 1994-95.
Before the ink ever dries on a new labor agreement, before thresholds, luxury taxes and revenue sharing can be fully explained to glassy-eyed fans, owners and players will beg us to allow the sport's biggest names of the 90's -- Bud Selig and Donald Fehr -- to fade to the background.
They won't necessarily call for forgiveness from the fans. They can't be that naive just one year after the great fan revolt of '95. However, owners and players will call for partnership and fellowship, pointing to the sacrifice on each other's parts.
Both sides did give, after all, and in the case of the heretofore unbowed players, that's where the real story is. Accepting a luxury tax, allowing all player salaries to be taxed, reducing their take from the first round of playoffs, these concessions are about to be made to help small-market clubs. That in itself should silence accusations that Fehr could never, would never, negotiate.
Victims will be acknowledged, the biggest being the fans, who lost their last bit of innocence and their idealism as the game metamorphosed into an industry as big and brutal as any other on the planet.
There were other casualties, some of whom fell on their own swords. Dick Ravitch, the politician turned owners' negotiator, fell out of favor with both sides. The man who did sell revenue sharing was bounced from the game so early he missed picking up either a victory or a save.
Then there were Bill Usery, the overwhelmed Federal mediator; Charles O'Connor, another deposed negotiator; Bobby Bonilla and John Franco, the strong-armed union men who acted like Dead End Kids, speaking so virulently that they nearly landed on a rack at the National Labor Relations Board.
That is all history, now, and American and Canadian fans will be asked to forget. Should they? Will they laugh off the whole thing? Can this peace -- guaranteed for only about half a decade -- erase the ugliness?
Most important, will it lead to the settling of other unresolved major issues? Such as the commissioner's office, vacant since 1992 when Fay Vincent became the first casualty of the labor wars.
No, there is still much proving to do.
If baseball owners want to send a real message of reform, they need to re-establish what independence that office and its occupant once enjoyed, which automatically rules out the Interim Kid, Bud Selig.
Should they go this route, which is still highly doubtful, then the owners should get out of the way so that the commissioner and a pool of business people can get to work on the devastated regions of baseball, such as the marketing and selling of a now passe sport.
For the game has become all too good at beating down its product, the owners singing a one-note samba about greedy players, the union allowing a whole peck of bad boys to overshadow too many gems like Ken Griffey Jr., Kirby Puckett and Cal Ripken Jr.
The denigration and neglect of the role models, alibiing for the spoiled-brat celebrity, must stop. Only then will the price paid by both sides be worth it in the slightest. Only then can the game that is run by those who chose to reap the whirlwind prove it is ready for a true renaissance.

Me and the Guys
These are my two grandsons. I have another grandson, but he is 26 years old, sensible and self-supporting. These, 8 and 10, are the two that I am taking off tomorrow, by plane, on an adventure.
Are we going to have fun? You betcha.
When my oldest grandson, James---now known as Jay---was ten, I told him that I would take him on a trip the next summer during his school vacation. He could choose the place. I gave him plenty of time to think about and research places. He chose, after much thought, New Zealand. I would have been willing to take him there---I had been to New Zealand and knew how appealing it is---but I dreaded the hideously long trip, with a kid.
Needn't have worried, though. When I pointed out to him that summer in New England would be winter in New Zealand, he changed his mind. And so we went to Choice #2: Hawaii. It was great. He had just turned eleven, and eleven is a wonderful age. No adolescent angst, yet. We enjoyed oursleves, and we enjoyed each other.
Now grandson Grey is about to turn eleven, and so we are doing the trip thing again. But this time I am including his younger brother, and this time I chose the destination....because I didn't relish re-doing the 9-hour flight to Honolulu.
...Raspberry breakfast
I was just out with the dog----at 5:30 AM, for some reason his preferred time to go out in the AM----and had put a pot of coffee on first, so it was waiting for me in the house, when I discovered that the wild raspberries behind my barn were at their absolute peak. So I feasted on raspberries while Alfie puttered around.
Blueberries are not yet ripe, and I am going to be off on a trip next week, until July 27th. So maybe my housesitters will get the benefit of the blueberries. But a raspberry breakfast was lovely.
Back here at my desk, re-reading a half-finished book manuscript, I have just made a note to myself: Introduce Harvey and Augustus sooner. Yesterday, while working on this book, these two characters suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with particular personalities that I like (one whines, one pontificates)...so there they are. But I realize that they were always there, and now I have to go back and introduce them sooner, instead of having them pop up unexpectedly.
...Creatures of the deep
These are my two grandsons, Sunday, when the sun FINALLY came out and they got to enjoy a day-long excursion on their dad's boat.
The interesting thing (to me) is that this photo was taken the day after they watched a rented movie that we had been a little reluctant to show them. A lot of adult conversation---and then finally it was decided that okay, as long as we explained in advance that it was very scary but only a movie with special effects. etc.
Then they watched Jaws.
I watched with them, remembering back to 1975 when we were all terrified by it. Didn't want to go into the ocean afterward. And now? YAWN.
...Money Descending a Staircase
Okay. This is a room in my old house. It is the (only) access to the basement. You can glimpse, slightly, the old stone steps and the granite wall as you descend. This would once have been outdoors, but at sometime in the past (who knows when? The house was built in 1768) a room was added that incorporated this cellar access.
The furnace, as we all know, is in the basement. Every year I have the furnace cleaned and serviced in the fall. Last fall they told me that I would be needing a new oil tank in the not-too-distant future because the old one was rusting, and of course you don't want to wait till it rusts through and dumps hundreds of gallons of oil into the basement.. So this spring I called them and told them to install a new oil tank when I arrived in early June, for the summer.
They came to look over the situation, measured, and ascertained that they could not get a new oil tank down there because the opening was not large enough.
There are these moments---last winter, when my well collapsed and I was told that I needed a new well
drilled, was another---when I think: Oh the hell with it. I'll burn the house down.
The Great God Google
The following was received as a comment to a recent post:
I'm reading "Planet Google" and came across the chapter on Google's 'book digitizing project." Out of curiosity I went into Google's book search and found most of your published books there. Wow! So does an author get any royalties? I wondered. The process of publishing, as you describe here, involves so much labor, of muscle and love, how does an author feel about seeing her work being given away so....freely?
I reprint it here because it may be of interest to others.
I am not particularly knowledgable about the details, but The Authors Guild brought suit against Google and the lawsuit has been making lawyers rich for a while. They have reached a settlement which The Authors Guild (professional organization which acts as advocate and lobbyist for published writers) deems an equitable one. To participate in the settlement, authors like myself must file a claim by Sepember. Sounds easy, right? Wrong. Nearly every day for the past two months I have gone to the website where such a claim may be made, thinking TODAY I WILL DO THIS. But after a few minutes I find myself whimpering and having a stomachache.
Filing requires listing every published book and its ISBN number. ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. It used to be a 10-digit number but starting 2007 it became a 13-digit number. For example, the ISBN for my newest Gooney Bird book is 978-0-547-11967-0. (see below)
...Rain, rain, rain
It rain and rains, and there is no end in sight. Alfie wakes up as usual at 5:30 or 6:00 and as usual I get up and head out for a walk with him, but he balks at the door when he sees the weather, and says No thanks, think I'll pass.
Today I have two guys in the basement installing a new oil tank, and a guy in the garage installing a new garage door. So instead of a quiet rainy day --- conducive to work --- it is a noisy rainy day: drills and power tools of all sorts.
I got an email from my editor, Margaret, at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt a little while ago, saying the copy editor had raised some questions regarding timing in my to-be-published-in-Fall book. "Timing" meaning...if the character said this on Saturday, and then she did this on Sunday, but at some point she said "six days till.." wouldn't that mean that on Friday she... etc. etc. I am not quoting exactly because I don't want to describe the plot of the book this early. But it is why we are grateful to copy editors. Neither Margaret nor I had noticed the discrepancies that the CE caught.
And when those things are not caught, and slip past, and are published, there are always young readers out there who catch them and write to me demanding an explanation---which I don't have, except for my own stupidity and inattentiveness. (I sometimes also plead old age)
...Jonas Sees in Color
(Press release):
It looks like things are on the definite upswing for Greensboro, North Carolina band Jonas Sees In Color. They have just signed to indie label Glassnote Records. The label was behind the recent huge success of the single "Fall for You" by Secondhand Serenade. In addition, the band is working in the studio with producer Aaron Johnson who worked with The Fray on their first two albums. Johnson says of the band, "Jonas Sees In Color is a strong edgy rock band with a soft melodic feel. The juxtaposition creates an awesome sound that is as unique as it is familiar."
Jonas Sees In Color was formed in 2005 and have gained a strong following through touring in the East, Midwest and South. The band's name comes from the 1993 Newbery Award winning novel The Giver by Lois Lowry. Lead vocalist Ryan Downing says, ""Our name is basically a metaphor. In The Giver, the main character (Jonas) lives in a black and white world. When he is chosen to take on the responsibility of the hopes, thoughts, and feelings of his entire village, he finally begins to see in color. One of the most important goals of our music is to create a connection with the listener by accurately connecting the stories and ideas contained in our music in a way that allows the listener to take and interpret the songs as their own."
...If You GIve a Mouse....
...a Tibetan Terrier to play with?
My goodness. Alfie had never met a mouse before, and suddenly there one was...in our living room, looking like a kids book illustration. A storybook mouse. Cute, unafraid.
I took him outside and put him in the grass:
Alfie followed me, then positioned himself beside the mouse, ready to play. He poked the mouse with a paw, then waited. Poked again gently, waited. Watched.
...Reminder to students!
I just received a large number of "comments" to this blog, all from students asking questions. I don't publish comments of that sort here. This is a reminder to students that if you have comments or questions about books I've written----go to the place on my website that says "e-mail me" (upper right corner)---click on that and it will allow you to send me a personal e-mail. Happy to reply to those! But not on the blog.
Summer fun
These are my grandsons, Grey and Rhys, 10 and 8, playing together in the barn over this past weekend when they were visiting here at the farm. The weather was iffy, boating excursions were curtailed, the beach wasn't an option. But a barn? Yes! A barn is always intriguing. And there is STUFF in a barn. (Actually, to the left, you can see a corner of a hammock; to the right, an end of a canoe).
And here, come to think of it, from several years ago, is another grandchild---with her best friend--also in the barn: the other end, where a stall was turned into a special theater where a lot of puppet shows have taken place.
All of this makes me remember summers of my small-town childhood, where when school ended, I kicked off my shoes and entered summer barefoot and carefree. Out the door in the morning, sometimes back home for lunch---other times ignoring lunch altogether---off on (bare) feet or bike, and knowing all the favorite familiar places: a stream to be waded; an abandoned building to be explored; a wall to be walked on; an overgrown vacant lot to be explored---even the college football field, which was unused in summer, and we could actually climb into the scoreboard and hang out there, peering out of the window where, during the season, score numbers appeared.
Well, my Tibetan Terrier's two Golden Retriever cousins came to visit yesterday. And there is no question. Goldens are more photogenic.
What It's All About
My grandsons, 10 and 8, came to visit yesterday. They had hoped to spend the Sunday afternoon on their dad's boat on the lake...but it was raining and so we stayed in, played board games, and watched the Red Sox get trounced in Philadelphia.
This is their last week of the school year, and the older boy, finishing fifth grade, told me that his class had just finished reading my book "Gossamer."
He and I were standing in the kitchen when he told me this. Then he said, "You know what? Remember the scene where the boy, John, describes a kid he knew (yeah, right, said my grandson, nudging me and winking) whose dad made him eat dogfood?"
Yes, I told him, I remembered the scene where the abused child reveals what his past has been like.
"Well," my grandson said, "In my head, while the teacher read, I pictured this kitchen!" He looked around. "I could see the dogfood bowl there, by the refrigerator."
...Sneak Peek
As you know, publishing takes place over a long span of time, and when the writer types, "The End"---it is really the beginning. I have a picture book coming out in the fall and showed you a glimpse of it some weeks ago. I'll be talking about it more as its publication approaches.
So: the "package" that I described in my last post was actually the galleys of an upcoming book which is scheduled for publication in Spring 2010. I'll show you a quick glimpse of a page (in galley form) so that you can see and appreciate the illustrations done by my friend Jules Feiffer. I once told Jules he drew FEET better than anyone else, and that is true, but you can't really see it in this one small drawing. What you can see is the whimsical charm of his work....very appropriate for this completely whimsical book, set in a mthyical kingdom with all the standard accoutrements: royalty, castles, serving maids and suitors.
In this scene, the large wheelbarrow is filled, I am sorry to say, with newly-neck-wrung pigeons. That's right: dead birds. Soon to be served, creamed, along with many other luxurious goodies, at The Birthday Ball (which is the title of the book)...
Thanks, Jules!
Why I love...
...Country Life:
The UPS guy just arrived and delivered a package. "Dog's harmless," I called to him. "I know he is," he called back. "Hi, Alfie!" he said, and handed him a biscuit. Then he said to me, while I took the package: "Saw you at Dunkin Donuts this morning but you drove away before I could give you the package."
Busted! Yes, I was at Dunkin Donuts this morning. I went to the dump and it was on the way and I was feeling inadequately coffee'ed.
Country life at last
Today Alfie and I drove to Maine, where we will be for the summer except for a few (blessedly few) interruptions.
He is ecstatic to be here---has been racing around and around, checking out all of his favorite haunts, and a little nonplussed to discover that I had hired my much-loved handyman to close off any access to the enticing under-the-barn. Enticing to Alfie because of what LIVES under there: critters of all sorts. Woodchucks, I know, because I've seen them. Porcupines, I know, because Alfie tangled with one and was the worse for it. Probably many other critters, likely including skunks. So I don't want him under there. He wants to go under there. I win. So there. Hah.
Peonies are in bloom, and some lilies, though I have many varieties of dayilies and they will bloom all summer.
Lupine. Think of Miss Rumphius in the Barbara Cooney book.
...general grossness
Now that I've heard from people completely grossed out by my description of a leaky hotel-room toilet, I thought I'd change the subject by adding one more photo from Africa. This is a close-up from a menu at a cafe in Johannesburg.
No, I can't tell you how the monkey gland burger tasted.
I can tell you, though, that wart hog isn't bad. A wart hog is of the pig family, of course. We were served sweet-and-sour warthog and it was fairly tasty.
As for impala? I asked the guy at the buffet, as he was slicing the roast, "What does impala taste like?" He gave that some thought and replied: "A little like springbok."
I am in a hotel room in Lancaster, California, and I am up at 6 AM---in fact have been up since 5:30 AM---partly because my brain is on Massachusetts time, and it is three hours later there. But also because I was awakened by the sound of water. Not gush, gush, but trickle, trickle. Not drip, but trickle...meaning it is flowing, though not very fast.
I got up to investigate and discovered that the toilet is leaking. The floor around it was quite awash, though now I have mopped it up and the base of the toilet is swathed in towels. It continues to flow, and I will have to add new towels soon. Here is a photo (and some of you loyal readers will cringe at the awareness that I published another hotel-toilet photo not terribly long ago. There is a trend here. Sorry).
This would not be a terribly serious problem were it not for the OTHER photo which I will now add, the photo of the cartons and cartons of books delivered here on a dolly by Barnes and Noble last night. You can't appreciate the geography from these two photos. But the flood is inching toward the cartons.
Or, for that matter, an elephant....
No, I will not further bombard you with Africa photos, except for these. It was fascinating to me to see the protectiveness that this elephant herd showed toward their littlest one. You can see the baby on the left --- he (or she? Dunno) was at all time surrounded by the others, and when we--in our vehicle---got a little too close for their comfort, the one nearest to the baby always let us know it. Here (above) you can see the mildly confrontational stance, the ears extended... And then here (below)...
.....when we didn't sufficiently back off, the guardian of the baby became a little more clearly annoyed. When she was finally satisfied that we were not a threat, she tore off a tree branch and fed the baby some leaves. Then, gradually, they all moved off into the underbrush and went on their stately, lumbering way...as did we (less stately). We could watch the movement of the trees as they continued on their way. For us, it was an awe-inspiring encounter. For them? Ho hum.
...why does a rhino cross the road?
I don't know the answer to WHY but I can testify that they DO and that one certainly gives them the right of way. I am writing this from northwest South Africa, where yesterday I visited a second grade class in a primary school in a small Zulu village. About 45 children with just one teacher, and as I neared the classroom I could hear them singing the traditional "A B C D E F G" song---they start learning English very young--- enthusiastically.
They were lovely kids, all grins and giggles, and it is easy to see how one could fall into the Madonna/Angelina syndrome and want to take a few home.
I am in the town of Hluhluwe, which I can in no way pronounce. The landscape is vast and breathtaking, the people warm and welcoming, the poverty and unemployment heartbreaking. The night sky is incredible and makes me remember the Kurt Weill song "Lost in the Stars" from Alan Paton's book "Cry the Beloved Country" which deals with the days of Apartheid here.

Day 754 September 23, 1941
Siege of Leningrad Day 16. Stukas attack Soviet warships at Kronstadt again and shipyards at Leningrad. WWI-era battleship Marat is hit with 2 1,000kg bombs, causing the forward magazine to explode, and sinks in 11 meters of water (326 killed). Marat will be refloated and her rear turrets used as a floating battery, firing 1971 12-inch shells in the defense of Leningrad. Soviet cruisers Maksim Gorki (damaged) and Kirov are attacked by German bombers while, under repair at Leningrad, and submarines P-2 & M-74 are sunk in the dockyards.
