Athlete Meredith Kessler accomplished the almost impossible: She finished the Ironman Triathlon while pregnant. We caught up with her to hear how she did it.
The Ironman Triathlon is no joke. The athletic event requires an incredible amount of discipline, a crazy-high level of fitness and nearly superhuman endurance to manage a 2.4 mile-long swim, a 112-mile bike, and a marathon-length run in a single day. But Meredith Kessler managed to do it—and as if that weren't enough, the athlete completed the event while pregnant.
Crazy, right? We caught up with Kessler, who represents ZÜPA NOMA chilled soup, to learn how she managed to pull this off—see what the mom-to-be had to say about staying fit while pregnant, as well as how she managed to get her 60th Ironman under her belt while expecting.
Q: How far along were you when you raced?
A: "I raced Ironman New Zealand at around 4 weeks pregnant. While I didn't know it at the time, I was hopeful. My husband and I believed that the universe would guide the way with it all, even if that meant sacrificing something important in my job. I had diligently prepared for this race throughout the winter months in hopes of capturing a six-peat victory in a race that has been so special to my husband and [me] over the years. This preparation included 25 to 30 hours per week of training (swim/bike/run/strength hours!) in addition to many hours spent on body maintenance, physical therapy, MAT (muscle activation technique), massage and sponsor obligations.
I did not feel like myself out there on the race course and it makes sense to me now why I was so nauseous, ill and having pockets of vomiting throughout the nine-ish hours of racing! There was a severe lack of stamina and fortitude that I couldn't pinpoint at the time and there didn't seem to be a way to salvage any gusto while navigating through the race. I was thankful to place third on the day and later, was elated to find out that we had a little life on the way. While pregnancy understandably is not ideal for my job as a professional racing triathlete, being a mom has been a dream of mine for quite some time."
Q: How did you deal with morning sickness, frequent urination and the need to hydrate while you were on the race path?
A: "This was the most perplexing part of the experience! The key was staying as hydrated as possible and having the mental mindset to prevail under duress. Fortunately, in Ironman racing, you just pee on yourself and as many times as needed—pregnant or not! The morning sickness part, just like the first 5 months of pregnancy in general, lasted all day long. I always carry Tums with me during an Ironman, so I was popping those like candy to at least try to get the puking to stop. Little did I know what was really happening in there!"
Q: What are your secrets to maintaining your fitness level while pregnant?
A: "A secret that I abide by—even when I'm not pregnant—is to remember what I feel like after [I work out]. This helps to energize, recalibrate and settle the body into a better groove for the day. This is what gets me out of bed in the morning with the motivated mindset. Staying very active has also genuinely helped me cope with how terrible I feel in pockets of this pregnancy journey. I feel best when I am consistently moving and exercising every day. The goal is just to keep trying to have an active and healthy pregnancy."
Q: Have you modified your training regimen during your pregnancy?
A: "We just can't go anaerobic very well when we have a bun in the oven. However, we can aerobic it up! Like many, as I surfed through nausea nation galore in the first five months, it was key to exercise in an effort to help manage it better. I felt best when I could at least move a little. Running felt the best during this time. Swimming too. Biking seemed the least pleasant.
The 4 am wake-up time for early training sessions has been put to the wayside. The only thing going on these days at 4 am is getting up out of bed for my 10th time to pee! I used to have nearly four hours of training done by 9 am, and now if I even start my exercising by 6 or 7 am, that is an early start. Exercising three to five hours a day allows me to keep the muscle memory, work ethic and athleticism as an athlete looking forward to coming back in 2018."
Q: What advice would you share with pregnant women who are struggling to maintain healthy eating habits?
A: "For healthy eating habits, the key was finding foods that are nourishing yet also taste good and that you look forward to eating. For me, I knew I wasn't going to whip up some steamed vegetables on a whim and quite honestly, that was the last thing that sounded enticing to eat. My way of consuming important and vital nutrients with quality ingredients was grabbing a ready-to-sip ZÜPA NOMA chilled soup."
Q: What's your advice for fellow pregnant women where fitness is concerned?
A: "For exercising, it's important to keep it simple, fun, and rewarding. A barometer was to be able to 'have a conversation' as you are working out. As long as you can still maintain some chit-chat while exercising, you are doing it right!
If you struggle to find the motivation to 'get up and go' get some exercise, plan a class or a workout with a friend to catch up and reward yourself with an iced latte and/or nutritious lunch afterwards. Remember what you feel like after you get your sweat on a little – it's good for you and for the baby."
Q: What are the biggest challenges that come with training through pregnancy?
A: "In sport, I have always talked about having that 'get to' vs. 'have to' mindset. We get to train; We get to race in triathlons. No one is making us do it. We do it because it makes us thrive and we genuinely enjoy it. We dream of the elusive finish line, of accomplishing goals, perhaps of winning or finishing with zest. There are many people out there that dream of the opportunity to get to also achieve these athletic goals who are unable to for many reasons.
In pregnancy, the connection is similar. We dream of having a human life at the end of the 10 months—we get to try to experience that amazingness. There are many women and couples out there that would love to be in my position and for many reasons, they, unfortunately, struggle to have a positive outcome.
When we prepare for something—anything—enriching and worthwhile in our lives, in our jobs, in sport, in life: It takes work. Seldom does anything of this value and magnitude get handed to us. Pregnancy is no different. I will admit—very openly and candidly—that pregnancy has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life thus far."

Thanksgiving travelers: Senator wants one checked bag to fly free
On one of the busiest travel days of the year, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) is pitching legislation that would allow airline passengers to check a bag for free.
"Passengers have been nickeled and dimed for far too long and something has to be done about it," she said.
The fees have been blamed for slowing down airport security checkpoints as more passengers carry bags onto planes.
Landrieu, at a recent Senate aviation security hearing, declared sarcastically, "If we don't do something, the airlines are going to sell a ticket to a flyer and you're not going to get a seat. You're going to stand on the airplane and then have to pay extra for the cushion. And I have about had it."
In a statement Tuesday announcing introduction of the measure Airline Passenger BASICS, or Basic Airline Standards to Improve Customer Satisfaction Act, Landrieu said that bag check fees have increased federal screening costs by $260 million a year.
The bill has drawn opposition from the Air Transport Assn.
"Obviously we don't think it's appropriate for the government to regulate what services a private industry should offer to customers and at what price,'' said Steve Lott, a spokesman for the industry group. "Airlines have found that a fee is not the sole driver in a customer's decision of whether to check a bag, and today fewer than 1 in 4 customers pay a fee."
The number of checked bags has decreased 26% since 2009, according to Tranporation Safety Administration. The number of carry-on bags increased by 59 million in fiscal 2010 and another 28 million in 2011. The TSA projects it will increase by an additional 29 million in fiscal 2012 and 28 million in 2013, if current trends continue.
A recent survey by the U.S. Travel Assn., the nation's largest travel trade group, said that a top frustration among travelers is passengers who take too many carry-on bags through security.
Airlines collected nearly $3.4 billion in 2010 from checked baggage fees, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
The bill has been sent to the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee for a hearing.

Once a physicist: Ene Ergma
Ene Ergma has served as the Speaker of Estonia's parliament, the Riigikogu, since 2007
How did you become interested in physics?
During my school years I lived in the small Estonian town of Viljandi. At the market, I once heard two women talking about somebody who had gone to Moscow to study plasma physics. I did not know the meaning of this term, but I found some popular-science books about plasma physics and decided that this would be a very interesting subject to study. My first attempt to become a student at Moscow University was unsuccessful, so instead, I started to study physics at Tartu University in Estonia. After two years of studies, some of the astronomers at Tartu suggested that I should study stellar evolution at Moscow University. I was not enthusiastic about astronomy because it had not been an exciting subject for me at school, but they told me that stars are huge plasma spheres with perfectly working thermonuclear reactors inside, and that caught my interest. Today, I understand that it was a great piece of luck that I turned to astrophysics.
What was it like to do physics research under the old Soviet system?
To be physicist in Soviet times meant having more intellectual freedom than many people, since physics was not so heavily influenced by ideology as the humanities and social sciences. Physics research was better provided for, with financial aid from the government, as Soviet officials understood the role of physics in defence. Also, we must remember that the 1960s and 1970s were the era of space research – a romantic time for physics and astrophysics – and many extremely talented young people joined the research.
Why did you go into politics?
I returned to Estonia from Moscow in 1988, when I was asked to take the chair of astrophysics at Tartu University. It was a an exciting time, with perestroika (literally "restructuring") sweeping the entire Soviet Union, and the beginning of a vague hope that Estonia would become an independent country. After Estonia regained its independence in 1991, it was necessary to restructure the Estonian science system. I was part of this activity at Tartu, but from time to time I felt that our official science policy was far from the best. I understood that it was complicated for people outside of politics to change the situation, and therefore I decided to go into politics to be closer to decision-makers. My life in research was interesting, and in the Soviet era I did not care about politics because I hated the totalitarian Soviet regime. But I cared very much about what was going on in Estonia.
What is the greatest challenge in science policy today, either in Estonia or elsewhere?
I think that we need to understand that in order to do high-level research in the natural sciences we need to better concentrate our brain power and financial possibilities. If the European Union wants to become the most competitive alliance in the world, it must change from being an agriculture-based Europe to a knowledge-based – or, even better, innovation-based – Europe. To provide research with large infrastructure facilities, we have to use research money from different countries. We already have good examples, such as CERN, the European Southern Observatory, the European Space Agency (ESA) and so on.
Do you still keep up to date with physics research?
My job does not allow me to do real research. It is impossible. But during the last five years I have put a great deal of effort in helping Estonia join ESA. I strongly believe that the space economy has a great future in the next 10 or 20 years, and little Estonia must use these challenges to its advantage, as it has done in the information and communications technologies. Also, I try to look through online articles in different journals.
Do you have any advice for physics students?
Studying physics is great. I always tell young people that a physics education is the greatest and it allows you to do different things – even to become the president of your parliament! It is very interesting to look at society from a physicist's point of view.
This article appears in the February 2011 issue of Physics World.

Just What He Wanted is the fourth story in the Holloway series and now I want to read the first three! I really enjoyed it and even though it's the fourth, I didn't feel like I needed to read the others to enjoy it. It just made me want to read them. Also, it isn't very long, so if you're looking for a quick read…
I loved that this story had an older, curvy woman in Andie and a young hottie totally falling over himself to get with her in Travis. Andie is funny and a little bit down on herself, so she may not be confident enough to handle Travis when he starts to pursue her. I really enjoyed seeing Travis work for it a little bit. I'd SO love to read more stories with a younger guy chasing after an older woman! I'm partial to this storyline of course since I'm five years older than my fiance. So, it's realistic to me! I like that this group's setting revolves around a landscaping business and also a resort. It was fun seeing how handy Travis was at the resort. Also, I was really intrigued by the mysterious writer staying at the resort. His story was a bit of a shocker.
I really enjoyed HelenKay Dimon's writing. It was fun and casual, and the characters were that as well. This story was like a fun, sexy romp. While it was short, it didn't feel lacking in story or plot. I wanted it to be longer because I enjoyed it so much.

After a bad breakup, Andie is looking to start over and determined to put her heart on hiatus. She's working on her self-esteem, and she is not ready for the likes of Travis. He comes on strong, with all the energy of a guy almost ten years her junior, which is exactly what he is.
Even as Travis's troubled past catches up with him, he pulls out all the stops to convince Andie he deserves a chance. And with the spring thaw hitting the Mountain View Resort, Andie discovers her own temperature rising whenever Travis looks her way…

One of the greatest tragedies to befall a man is the belief that what he does is irrelevant. The more meaningless life becomes in his head, the quicker his life will mirror the belief. For me, one of the greatest paradoxes of life is the knowledge of how small we are in the universe, but how significant even the smallest of our actions can be. This video can give you a glimpse of the magnitude of the universe.
We may just be a tiny dot in the grand scheme of things, but we have a part in the play. In fact, even the action we believe to be the most insignificant can be life changing or world altering. Two of my previous blogs come to mind:
- Your Small is Someone's Large – This was my reaction to Vitamin Angels' guest post. They wrote how: It costs Vitamin Angels just 25 cents per child per year to provide vitamin A and antiparasitic medicine to children in need. That means that for $1, you can provide a child under 5 with enough vitamin A for the four most vulnerable years of their life. Tiny contribution. Life changing consequences.
- Life as a Textbook – One simple act of responsibility by my wife changed the way I look at litter forever.
I bring all this up because this past week I heard another story that emphasizes my point. I was at a leadership conference where they highlighted different social causes. One was Compassion International. They interviewed a 28-year-old (?) man who had been sponsored through Compassion since he was 8. He had lost his dad and his mom was very sick. He had even had to move to his Aunt's house where he was the eighth child. His life was not going well. At that time, a 20-year-old college student (Mark) from Canada sponsored him for no more than $35 a month. Because of that generosity, the man was now training to be a pastor and was preparing to go back to Kenya to help others. The man had even saved the first letter he had received from the Canadian college student.
It was a touching story, but to top it off they asked him if had ever met his sponsor. "No, I have not", he replied. And that's when they brought his sponsor out. You've never seen a grown man cry as much and as hard as this man from Kenya. He hugged Mark for about five or ten minutes and they tried to continue the interview. However, he could barely stand and he just sat on the floor bawling. The look in his eyes contained a thousand words. They ranged from inexpressible joy to "I can't believe I'm meeting you!" to "Thank you!" It was a beautiful moment.
Many of us may never receive that moment. Mark could have never met the man he once sponsored. But would that have changed the significance of what he had done? No. The Kenyan man's life was forever changed.
Remember the small things. They are never really small. They are just small in the moment. Never believe the lie that says your life is irrelevant. You matter. I matter. People halfway around the world matter. Our lives may just be small notes in the grand symphony of life, but imagine the ugly silence if those notes were removed.

Man shoots nail into brain without noticing
But he had no idea the nail had entered his brainuntil the next day, when he began feeling nauseous. Doctors told Mr Autullo that the nail came within millimetres of the area used for motor function. His fiancee, Gail Glaenzer, said that he was in good spirits after the two-hour surgery to remove the nail at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois.
"He feels good. He moved all his limbs, he's talking normal, he remembers everything," she said. "It's amazing, a miracle." Ms Glaenzer said she had no idea the nail had entered his skull when she cleaned a cut on his forehead. She convinced him to go to the hospital after he felt nauseous for much of Wednesday.
LiveLeak link.
Mr Autullo thought that the nail gun had simply hit his forehead, but realised later that when the gun came in contact with his head, the sensor recognised a flat surface and fired. While there are pain-sensitive nerves on a person's skull, there are none within the brain itself. Hospital spokesman Mike Maggio said the part of the skull that was removed for surgery had to be replaced with a titanium mesh amid worries that it might have been contaminated by the nail.
2 comments:
A) The gun 'recoiled'. Into the BACK of his head??? Don't think so....
B) What about the safety switches? These guns CANNOT fire unless held firmly into contact with a surface and the trigger pulled.
Every time one of these stories gets printed I call BS on them....

How did that nail in the x-ray get there through his forehead? Spinning and bouncing around? That would surely have left some noticeable damage. I agree, Gerry, something's amiss. But, it isn't unheard of that a nailgun has had it's safety switch overridden for conveniences sake. It's awfully stupid but so are many people.
PS. It's not possible to say he hasn't lost any memories. Nobody but him knows all his memories, and he wouldn't necessarily know if some of them were destroyed.

Prepare a charcoal grill by lighting charcoal and letting it burn until it glows bright orange, ashes over, and is very hot. Brush the grill grate generously with oil.
Meanwhile, put the ostrich meat in a mixing bowl, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and form into 4 equal-size patties about 3/4-inch thick. Grill the burgers, turning once, until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let stand for 5 minutes.
Spread 1 tablespoon of the yogurt on each of 4 muffin halves, and 1 tablespoon mustard on each of the remaining muffin halves. Place the burgers on the mustard-coated muffins; top each with a slice of tomato, lettuce, and a generous pile of pickles. Top with the yogurt-coated muffins and serve immediately.
Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to high.
Put the cucumbers, cut-side down, on the hot grill and cook, without turning, until grill marks appear and the cucumbers have softened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, vinegar, 1/3 cup water, the pickling spices, turmeric, chili flakes and garlic in a small bowl, glass jar or pie plate. Transfer the hot cucumbers to the pickling liquid, being sure they are completely submerged. Let stand for at least 15 minutes before draining and slicing crosswise. Pickles can be served immediately, or sliced and stored in the pickling liquid in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Carbine has been teasing fans with images throughout the week for their big WildStar class reveal at San Diego Comic-Con today. Staying true to form Carbine delivered new details along with a video to showcase the two final classes with the sociopathic Chua and the space zombies known as the Mordesh. Its really hard to see how this can spiral out of control.
Give the video a look below along with the latest details. If you happen to be around Comic-Con today, head over and check out WildStar for more. Carbine will also be hosting a public event later today that will give attendees a chance to get some hands-on time with the game and chat with the devs.
Final Two Races Revealed for WildStar
Chua and Mordesh round out races in new sci-fi MMO from Carbine Studios
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. July 19, 2013: After weeks of teasing and speculation, Carbine Studios today announced the final two races for WildStar, its upcoming sci-fi MMO, during a developers panel at Comic-Con International in San
Diego. The cutely grotesque and weird and creepy new races, called the Chua and Mordesh, bring the total number of races to four in each of WildStars two factions and offer players distinct new ways to experience the game.
Nearly as brilliant as they are sociopathic, the Chua, are mischievous inventors of advanced weapons and technology for the Dominion, and join the previously announced Cassian, Draken and Mechari races. The Mordesh are the newest addition
to the Exiles; cursed with a degenerative disease, these space zombies have become masters of artifice and deception, plying their dark arts to wreak vengeance on their Dominion enemies along with their allies The Aurin, Humans and the Granok.
The lore behind the Chua and Mordesh offers players greater insight into how these two races are also part of the ongoing power struggle between the Dominion and the Exiles, and their intentions for the legendary planet Nexus, the setting
for WildStar, and the secrets left there by the ancient Eldan civilization.
Discovered by Mechari observers in the early years of the Dominion, the Chua of the forest world Bezgelor displayed from the start an uncanny grasp of science and mechanical engineering. Introduced to several examples of simple Dominion
technology, the Chua zealously industrialized their home until verdant forests were replaced with factories and tranquil pastures were reduced to dustbowls of ash. The Chua joined the Dominion out of a need for resources that their own ruined world could no
longer provide and for the past 1,000 years have created advanced weapons and technology for the empire. On Nexus, the Chua look forward to exploiting the planets legendary natural and technological resources while devising new and exciting ways to destroy
their enemies.
The Mordesh of planet Grismara once were the envy of the galaxy. Their refinements in alchemy driven by the great Grismaran alchemist Victor Lazarin produced an elixir that was said to grant immortality. Distributed worldwide, the elixir
eventually became unstable, causing those afflicted to physically degenerate and lapse into a mindless cannibalistic rage. The destruction that followed put the civilization a hairsbreadth from extinction and caused the Dominion to institute a brutal and uncompromising
quarantine. While Lazarin created a vaccine for the disease, the Mordesh turned to the Exiles, who smuggled them piecemeal through the Dominion blockade. Forced by dwindling numbers and a hunted status, the Mordesh resorted to artifice and deception. Now seen
by the Exiles as an unsavory, but necessary evil, they look to ply their dark arts on Nexus and wreak vengeance on the Dominion who deserted them.
WildStar infuses amazing stylized art with the latest technology to create a stunning visual experience. Set on an alien world, WildStar delivers a wild adventure filled with mystery as you fight to stake your claim among the ruins of an
advanced civilization, and experience an unprecedented level of exploration and discovery that allows you to play the way you want to play.

He withdrew $140 from the ATM machine, and got $37,000 instead.
A glitchy bank ATM in South Portland delighted a homeless man on Thursday when it spewed thousands of dollars.
According to WGME, a CBS-affiliated TV station, the unsuspecting man tried to withdraw his last remaining money worth $140 at a TD Bank on Maine Mall Road. But the ATM machine apparently gave him more cash, dispensing up to $37,000.
The lucky man could have withdrawn more, even up to $200,000, the maximum amount an ATM bank can hold, if not for the South Portland police who arrived in the scene. They were alerted by a woman who was waiting in line for her turn.
Noticing that the man was spending an unusual amount of time at the ATM, she decided to call the police. The police soon discovered that the man was trying to fill a shopping bag with cash. When asked, the man said that the machine kept giving him money. So he did what any lucky person would do if they were in his place: take the money, and if possible, all of it.
Thankfully, the man decided to return the $37,000. After all, he had no other choice but to oblige.
Police didn't release the man's name because no charges were filed against him. The bank simply blamed the glitch to a coding error in the ATM's system - a small flaw that had the potential to ruin any banking institution.
"Due to a code error, this TD Bank ATM dispensed an incorrect amount of cash to a customer." a TD Bank spokesperson told WGME.

It would be a remote control car. I want it to be a Mustang. I think it would be fun to play with and it's on my list.
Sydney Rowe
C.C. Loughlin, Grade 2
A FlipaZoo figurine. It's rubber and you pull it one way and it's an animal and pull it another way it's another kind of animal.
James Wayson
C.C. Loughlin, Grade 2
I would like a little toy school bus to play with. I really like to play with school buses. I like wheeling them all around the floor.

Oliver Dwyer

Chocolate chip, because that's what it usually says in books.

The most important job for Mrs. Claus is babysitting Santa's reindeer once he gets back from his long trip around the world.

Her most important job is organizing a party for the elves who have worked so hard, especially making hot chocolate because it's so cold up there (North Pole).

What's with players who are sent to Stockton? All I can say is that there must be something in the water, because as soon as Oklahoma City assigns players to the California ECHL destination they end up on top. Philippe Cornet, Toni Rajala, Teigan Zahn and now Dan Ringwald. After being sent to Stockton on November 14th, Dan Ringwald suddenly burst forth with some really strong offensive play. Five games, four points, and a return to the things that we liked about Dan for OKC last season.
So the need for sturdiness has come and temporarily gone, and now the Barons are looking to be speedy. Zahn, a healthy scratch for several games of late, will head to Stockton where he did a six game tour of duty and scored two goals and three assists. Really, is it the sunshine? The climate? The air travel? Regardless, the Stockton litmus test has worked. The ECHL is the new AHL, and for the Oilers that line of command is firing on all cylinders.
Official Release:
The Oklahoma City Barons completed two transactions with the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL. The Barons loaned defenseman Teigan Zahn to Stockton, while Dan Ringwald was recalled by the Barons, General Manager Bill Scott announced today.
Zahn, a 6-2, 221-pounder from Regina, Sask. has split time this season between the Barons and Stockton. With Oklahoma City, he has registered one assist in five game. With Stockton, he has appeared in six games and registered five points (2-3-5). Zahn skated last season with the University of Calgary, scoring 15 points (3-12-15) in 27 games with the Dinos.
Ringwald, a 6-2, 190-pounder from Oakville, Ontario has played in 11 games between the two teams, scoring five points (2-3-5). Ringwald has appeared in 110 games as a pro, scoring 39 points (4-35-39) and serving 44 penalty minutes.

Published: 2011
It's about: 12-year-old Prue lives in Portland, OR, not far from a forbidding, fantastical forest called the Impassable Wilderness. One day she takes her baby brother, Mac, to a park where she watches, horrified and helpless, as a murder of crows lift him into the air and carry him into said Impassable Wilderness.
Brave and spunky Prue heads into the forest to rescue Mac. Curtis, a nerdy boy from her school, follows her. They discover an entire world inside the woods, complete with anthropomorphized animals, longstanding rivalries, history and danger.
Basically it's The Labyrinth + Narnia + The Fantastic Mr. Fox. And, by the way, Colin Meloy is the singer/songwriter for The Decemberists.
I thought: So. I don't usually read that much YA, and I definitely am not prone to picking up fantasy-type books. But last week, as I was chasing my children around the library, I noticed this chunky, artful-looking book displayed prominently on the shelf. Then I noticed the author. Then I read the back jacket, with positive reviews from Lemony Snicket, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Michael Chabon. And, rather impulsively given the FIFTY (seriously! I just counted!) books sitting on my shelf waiting to be read, I brought Wildwood to the circ desk.
And folks, I do not regret it! I really had fun with this fast-paced, clever, and well-written piece of fantastical fiction. When I do read my annual fantasy novel I'm always amazed at the creativity that goes into this type of writing. I don't have quirky ideas in my head (alas!) and I am not a storyteller. So when I read a book that creates and describes an entire world, I am really impressed. It is fun to get lost in an adventure in a strange new place, and that's definitely what happened to me with this book. Carson Ellis' simple yet specific illustrations made it even easier to visualize everything.
One thing I'm not sure about: the intended audience. Curtis and Prue are eleven and twelve, respectively, but I'm not sure Meloy's style will really appeal to that age group. He gets a little carried away with detail sometimes, and there are a fair number of unusual vocabulary words in this text; words that I had to look up. But then, maybe I'm not giving middle-schoolers enough credit. And I'd much rather see a book that expects more of its audience than one that is dumbed down for kids. So I'm not really listing this as a flaw. I'd love to hear what a 12-year-old reader thinks of this book.
Verdict: Stick it on the shelf!
Warnings: Some fantasy war violence.
Favorite excerpts: "My dear Prue, we are the inheritors of a wonderful world, a beautiful world, full of life and mystery, goodness and pain. But likewise are we the children of an indifferent universe. We break our own hearts imposing our moral order on what is, by nature, a wide web of chaos. It is a hopeless task."
What I'm reading next: Emmeline by Charlotte Smith (for the Gothic Literature Tour)

State-based health insurance exchanges such as Minnesota's MNsure marketplace are having more success than the federal government in getting people on the path to new health insurance.
Even so, MNsure still hasn't been able to successfully send information about enrollees to insurance companies, state officials said Wednesday.
"We are on the cusp of sending them," said April Todd-Malmlov, executive director of MNsure, during a MNsure board meeting in St. Paul. "It literally should be within the next couple of days."
According to numbers released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 4,300 people used MNsure during its first month of operation either to select a commercial health insurance plan or to obtain coverage through the state's MinnesotaCare program.
Minnesota is one of 14 states plus the District of Columbia operating its own health exchange website this fall, and those state-based exchanges account for roughly three-quarters of 106,000 consumers across the country who have selected qualified health plans, according to the data release.
Consumers in the remaining 36 states, including Wisconsin, are using an exchange operated by the federal government, yet the federal exchange accounted for fewer than 27,000 people who have selected a plan. The Wisconsin tally was less than 900 people.
States and the federal government launched the health exchange marketplaces on Oct. 1 to implement the federal Affordable Care Act, a 2010 law that's requiring almost all Americans to have health insurance beginning next year.
The exchange numbers released Wednesday reflect choices by consumers with incomes that are at least 33 percent above the federal poverty level — a threshold that works out to $15,282 for an individual or $31,322 for a family of four. People below that income limit use health exchanges to determine eligibility for the state-federal Medicaid health insurance program.
Across the country, nearly 400,000 people have used the health exchanges to determine eligibility for Medicaid and a related program for children, according to Wednesday's data release. Minnesota accounts for 9,166 of the Medicaid total, or about 2.3 percent.
More than 10,000 in Wisconsin used the federal website to determine eligibility for Medicaid.
State officials said Wednesday that they had not reviewed the federal data, so they could not comment. On the Medicaid numbers, however, state Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson suggested that Minnesota's tally might be relatively low because the state has one of the nation's lowest rates of people lacking coverage. So, there's a smaller group of potential enrollees.
The numbers released Wednesday reflect the contrasting experiences of health exchange customers in the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin.
While MNsure users have had plenty of frustrations during its first month of operations, many have been able to create accounts and successfully shop for plans. Anecdotal reports from western Wisconsin suggest it's been tougher sailing for people trying to use the federal exchange website.
The federal government might be having more success, however, when it comes to communicating information about enrollees to insurance companies.
Bloomington-based HealthPartners and Minnetonka-based Medica are large insurers in Minnesota, but they also do a small amount of business in states where the federal government is operating the exchange. Whereas the companies have not received information about enrollees from MNsure, they have gotten data from the federal government.
Representatives from both companies used the phrase "pretty good" to describe the overall quality of the data from the federal government.
MNsure has been slower to send the information in part so that insurance companies wind up with higher-quality information, Todd-Malmlov said.
The health plan figures released Wednesday for Minnesota include 1,774 people who used MNsure to select a commercial health insurance plan, and another 2,505 who used the exchange to qualify for the MinnesotaCare program. Taken together, that's roughly 4 percent of the national total for people who have selected qualified health plans.

MDS in GT4
MDS4 is a WSRF implementation of information services released with Globus Toolkit 4.0.
MDS in GT 4.0
This version of MDS includes WSRF implementations of the Index Service, a Trigger Service, WebMDS (formerly known as the Web Service Data Browser) and the underyling framework, the Aggregator Framework.
To support existing deployments, the GT 4.0 distribution also includes MDS2 (also referred to as Pre-Web Services MDS).

MDS in GT3
Developed with Globus Toolkit 3.x, MDS3 is an OGSI implementation of information services and is available in Globus Toolkit 3.0 and 3.2. Includes the Index Service and Service Data Providers (corresponds to the Information Providers of MDS2) with three Provider interfaces. MDS3 is compatible with the Web Service Data Browser tool (which is the OGSI implementation of WebMDS).
To support existing deployments, GT3 distributions also include MDS2 (also referred to as Pre-Web Services MDS).
MDS in GT 3.2

- Latest stable GT3 release, version 3.2.1. Bundles that specifically include MDS3 are:
- Documentation
- Related software
- Web Service Data Browser tool - Makes it easy to display the service data and use different visualizers for analyzing this data. Note: the download is no longer available; however, you can view documentation here.
MDS in GT 3.0
Note: GT 3.0 is no longer supported.
MDS in GT2
Developed with Globus Toolkit 2.x, MDS2 is an LDAP-based implementation of information services. This component is also available in later versions of the Globus Toolkit (3.0, 3.2 and 4.0) to support existing deployments. It is based on OpenLDAP and fully implements referral with a combined GRIS and GIIS listening on port 2135 and answering queries based on the ``Mds-VO-name'' string. Mds-VO-Name=local refers to the GRIS and anything else refers to a GIIS if it exists with that name.
Includes: GRIS, GIIS and information providers.
Note: GT 2.x is no longer supported.
Security Notice for MDS 2.4 in the Globus Toolkit 4.0 Release
Please note that in the GT4 pre-WS build, MDS2 is not installed by default. This is because of security concerns with two third-party libraries, Open LDAP v.2.0.22 and Cyrus SASL (v. 1.5.27). That version of OpenLDAP has security vulnerabilities that are no longer being patched due to the age of the version (the current version is 2.2.25). This means that anyone who runs MDS2 on their server has a chance of being affected by this, although we have no reported cases of this occurring. A similar situation exists for the version of Cyrus SASL we are using although this can be avoided by not using MDS2 in secure-mode.
An unsupported, minimally-tested version of MDS2 based on more recent, more secure versions of OpenLDAP and Cyrus SASL is available for download here; however, we strongly recommend that any MDS2 users upgrade their system to use the new WSRF-based MDS4, and we will be happy to work with you to make this possible for your project. Please note that in GT4, MDS2 is a depreciated component, which means that it will not be included in the GT4.2 release, nor supported once GT4.4 exists.

text: In 5th century B.C., according to Michael Odaatje in Running in the Family, poems were scratched onto the rock face of Sigiriya–the rock fortress of a despot king. These were short verses to the painted women in the frescoes which spoke of love in all its confusions and brokenness. Poems to mythological women who consumed and overcame mundane lives. The phrases saw breasts as perfect swans;eyes long and clean as horizon. The anonymous poets returned again and again to the same metaphors. These were the first folk poems of the country."

Elardee Stoves -
We supply and install wood burning and multi-fuel stoves and fireplaces into homes and businesses in Stroud, Gloucester, Thornbury, Wotton-Under-Edge and across Gloucestershire.
Call us: 07702 035572
We know that every home or business is unique. That is why we will always arrange a survey visit to assess the work, before providing a free, no-obligation quotation. We source our stoves, chimney systems, liners and accessories from leading UK and European manufacturers. Together with our HETAS registered installers, this means you can be assured of a safe and compliant installation.
Elardee Stoves is a local, family-owned business, run by husband and wife team, Brad and Holly. Serving our town of Dursley, and the surrounding area (including Gloucester, Stroud and Thornbury), we are dedicated to putting our customers first. We will take care of everything, from the survey, supply and installation of your stove, through to providing care, advice and support after installation.
Not only can a stove make a room feel cosy, they can also help reduce the cost of your energy bills. Wood logs emit heat long after the fire has gone out, making stoves not only aesthetically pleasing but extremely practical, versatile and cost-efficient. Our stoves can be connected to your central heating system, positioned in a central location without the need for an existing chimney, or installed into an existing fireplace recess.
Customer Testimonials
Genuine family business with professional friendly service. Very clear communication and technical explanations. Good workmanship and timely delivery. Pleased with the installation. Nothing negative to report!
We hired Elardee Stoves to remove an old gas fire and install a new cream Stovax wood burning multi fuel stove. We could not be happier with the end result! Not only were they very competitively priced, Brad and Holly worked tirelessly to get this right for us, particularly when we uncovered some issues on the way (all of which were out of Brad's control). Brad worked so hard to meet my fussy requirements, and the end result was spot on. He is an excellent tradesman, on time, professional and left the house clean and tidy on every occasion. I couldn't recommend this family run business enough! Don't go anywhere else!
I would highly recommend Elardee Stoves as Brad was friendly and approachable throughout the installation of our wood burner. There was minimal disruption and the finished effect has transformed our living room.
We just wanted to thank everyone involved in the installation of our Clearview. Brad and Holly could not have been more helpful. From our very first enquiry, we have been very impressed at the level of support provided throughout the process.
The expert advice provided in selecting the right stove was invaluable and Holly was always very approachable and knowledgeable.
Brad encountered several unforeseen issues on the build itself but responded calmly and professionally, resulting in a beautiful finish. He took a lot of time and care to ensure the details were perfect and was extremely careful to preserve the historical and architectural elements where others may have pushed for an easier option.
I would not hesitate to recommend Elardee!
Excellent service throughout. Really helpful when first trying to choose which stove would be best for our needs. All the work carried out without any fuss. Overall the service and standard of work has been excellent and I can not recommend Elardee Stoves highly enough.
We're really pleased with every aspect of the service Elardee provided from the initial consultation through to completion of the project. All contact was extremely efficient and professional; delivered with warmth and a keen personal interest. Many thanks to Brad and Holly for altering our (once hideous) fireplace to a contemporary alternative design which now incorporates the lovely woodburning stove I have always drooled over! Lovely!
Holly and Brad were very helpful from beginning to end. They gave us practical and sensible advice on the type of stove, hearth, etc. Brad turned up exactly on time to give us the quote, and all the work was done exactly when it was promised, and to a very good standard. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a woodburner.
From the initial enquiry you felt you were in good hands. Holly answered all our questions and made a prompt appointment for Brad to visit to assess. When we first met Brad he was friendly honest and put no pressure on us to make a decision. He gave us advice, brochures and also answered any further questions we had. We made the right decision in choosing Elardee! He supplied the stove, gave us a competitive quotation and date to install. He arrived promptly with Jake. Swept the chimney, made a slight extension to our Cotswold stone hearth with well matched stone, installed the stove and cleaned up. What more could anyone needing this service want. We fully recommend Elardee from start to finish they provided an excellent service. This small family run business deserves to continue to do well as they provide a fantastic service. 10/10!!!
Every contact with Brad and Holly at Elardee has been very efficient. From the initial website request, various emails, the quote, right through to the installation, we have been very impressed with the speed of response and service supplied. Throughout the process, no request has been too much trouble.
We have no doubt in recommending Elardee, and we'd be more than happy to use their services again should the need arise.
Thanks Brad and Holly for a job very well done.
From our initial telephone call through to the installation of our woodburner Holly and Brad were very professional. Giving sound advice and following up the survey with prompt information on cost and date for when the work could proceed. Brad and Jake were efficient, clean and got on with the installation without any fuss. We would highly recommend this company to anyone thinking of installing a woodburner. The woodburner also looks great and we wish we had done it years ago…
A great service from beginning to end. Communication was good and all emails responded to almost immediately.
Advice was given and the stove was installed professionally with no mess.
Would definitely recommend this company.
What a wonderful experience. Never has having a trades person in to do extensive work ever been so stress free, from start to finish.
Holly removed every query, concern and question from me before the work began. Nothing was too much for her, even when I chopped and changed stoves. A real professional, prompt and efficient 24/7.
Brad punctual, respectful, honest and informative. I felt completely comfortable and safe with Elardee, both in the quote stage all the way through to the installation.
I cant fault the service I received, the quality of the service was outstanding.
The customer service top class from start to finish and the overall experience was a premium service in every way.
I would have no qualms in recommending Elardee Stoves to anyone wanting to have work done in their house.
Thank you so very much Holly & Brad. I can genuinely say, it was a pleasure doing business with you. True professionals.
Would just like to say we are really pleased with the log burner you fitted for us, brad was a great guy and done an amazing job , a very conscientious worker, would highly recommend this company!!
"I requested a site survey to see if a multi-burner stove could be fitted into a tiny fisher-men's cottage at Old Ferryden. It could! An existing gas fire flue had to be removed along with a lot of rubble infill. The chimney was checked to make sure it would be safe and working. Holly promptly gave me a quote, and a time-slot came up for the very next week. The whole job was completed within 3 days (and one of those days was simply waiting for cementing to dry) Brad and his mate did an incredible job. Skilled, and courteous. Add to that Holly's supremely efficient, yet friendly communication, on the telephone and email etc, it was perfect! Elardee Stoves Ltd are a delight to deal with, and worth every penny. I could not have wished for better. This is a Local business, run by genuine people. They truly deserve every success, and I would recommend them to anyone."
"We felt that a letter of commendation was required by us, to express our delight at our new wood burning stove. It has made our sitting room, the hub of our home. Elardee Ltd was not the first company we contacted, but was certainly the best and would have saved us some time had we done so. The installation took only two days and from uninstalling the previous gas fire and fireplace to installing the new stove and redoing the fireplace, there was little impact to our home life. When a change of plan was needed due to unforeseen work, this was accomplished with no fuss and no additional cost to us. After completion, all the relevant paperwork was issued, to keep us in line with current safety legislation. Of more importance to a new stove owner, Bradley and Holly were available by email and telephone, to offer advice and reassurance on how to operate and maintain the stove. We would highly recommend Elardee Ltd and its proprietors Bradley & Holly Price to anyone who is thinking of having a wood burning stove installed. We think that they cannot be beaten on price, workmanship and professionalism."
"Got our stove fitted by Brad very happy with everything, after care visit to make sure all going well not many companies do this anymore."
"Brad installed a lovely Contura wood burning stove into our sun room. The work was completed in one day with great efficiency and on budget. The stove was lit that evening. He is a very tidy worker and has a very pleasant manner. Brad knows exactly what he is doing and combines plastering skills with installation skills for a perfect finish."
"Brad Price recently installed an Aga Little Wenlock Classic SE into our lounge and re-lined our chimney for us. Brad was reliable and turned up when he said he would. We didn't have any issues with his time-keeping. He cleaned up after himself and left the place spotless. I was more than happy with the quality of his work, it's to a high standard and we've not had any problems at all. I would without doubt use Brad again if needed and also recommend his services to others."
"Brad and his team at Elardee Stoves are just great! His wife Holly dealt with our initial enquiry extremely quickly and efficiently and she organised for Brad to come and survey our job at a time convenient to us. Brad arrived on time and was really knowledgeable and friendly. He helped us to choose a stove and managed to get a great price for us. After this he arrived with his labourer on the date agreed and installed our Wood Burner, making very little mess and clearing up any he did make straight away. We would highly recommend Elardee, our stove has made a huge difference to our home and we would have Brad and the gang back tomorrow if we had a place for another one!"

I grew up surrounded by the arts: bellydancing at festivals, doing a bit of theatre, always writing, singing, painting. Surrounded by old British punk and the psychedelic rock/grunge of the 90s as a kid, music has been the most important part of my life – I can't go a day without it! I've worked setting up/taking down concerts like the Foo Fighters and having random discussions with the roadies has broadened my appreciation for the music scene – the local scene particularly because it's genuine and everyone's so supportive. RTRFM is the place to be.
I was probably about five or six when I first started listening to RTRfm, it was just always on in the background. I grew up with Soulsides, Drastic on Plastic and Jamdown Vershun blasting through the speakers. I did Radiothon one year and one thing led to another. I've been hooked since.
The greatest thing is the feeling of immediate belonging, it's a second family and the whole crew's amazing. RTRFM gives a voice to the local scene, it's the pulse of it all. There's never a shortage of interesting people to meet.
Sitting at the desk and getting to play the music I love, that's so surreal for someone who's listened to the station for the most part of their life.
I'd love to do Siamese Dream or Drastic on Plastic, so much love and respect for those shows.
Aside from ponder what "real" life is, I paint, write (freelance), make music and sing in a band. I'm mostly found on the dancefloor. RTRFM is about as real as it gets.
