Late Mailbox Monday's and Giveaway Winners
Pope Joan: A Novel by Donna Woolfolk Cross, signed
"One of the most controversial women of history is brought to brilliant life in Donn Woolfolk Cross's tale of Pope Joan, a girl whose origins should have kept her in squalid domesticity. Instead, through her intelligence, indomitability and courage, she ascended to the throne of Rome as Pope John Anglicus.
The time is 814, the place is Ingelheim, a Frankland village. It is the harshest winter in living memory when Joan is born to an English father and a Saxon mother. Her father is a canon, filled with holy zeal and capable of unconscionable cruelty. His piety does not extend to his family members, especially the females. His wife, Gudrun, is a young beauty to whom he was attracted beyond his will--and he hates her for showing him his weakness. Gudrun teaches Joan about her gods, and is repeatedly punished for it by the canon. Joan grows to young womanhood with the combined knowledge of the warlike Saxon gods and the teachings of the Church as her heritage. Both realities inform her life forever.
When her brother John, not a scholarly type, is sent away to school, Joan, who was supposed to be the one sent to school, runs away and joins him in Dorstadt, at Villaris, the home of Gerold, who is central to Joan's story. She falls in love with Gerold and their lives interesect repeatedly even through her Papacy. She is looked upon by all who know that she is a woman as a "lusus naturae," a freak of nature. "She was... male in intellect, female in body, she fit in nowhere; it was as if she belonged to a third amorphous sex." Cross makes the case over and over again that the status of women in the Dark Ages was little better than cattle. They were judged inferior in every way, and necessary evils in the bargain.
After John is killed in a Viking attack, Joan sees her opportunity to escape the fate of all her gender. She cuts her hair, dons her dead brother's clothes and goes into the world as a young boy. Gerold is away from Villaris at the time of the attack and comes home to find his home in ruins, his family killed and Joan among the missing. After the attack, Joan goes to a Benedictine monastery, is accepted as a young man of great learning, and eventually makes her way to Rome.
The author is at pains to tell the reader in an Epilogue that she has written the story as fiction because it is impossible to document Joan's accesion to the Papacy. The Catholic Church has done everything possible to deny this embarrassment. Whether or not one believes in Joan as Pope, this is a compelling story, filled with all kinds of lore: the brutishness of the Dark Ages, Vatican intrigue, politics and favoritism and most of all, the place of women in the Church and in the world".
The Mischief of the Mistletoe: A Pink Carnation Christmas by Lauren Willig
'Tis the season to get Pink! Lauren Willig's beloved Pink Carnation series gets into the holiday spirit with this irresistible Regency Christmas caper.
"Arabella Dempsey's dear friend Jane Austen warned her against teaching. But Miss Climpson's Select Seminary for Young Ladies seems the perfect place for Arabella to claim her independence while keeping an eye on her younger sisters nearby. Just before Christmas, she accepts a position at the quiet girls' school in Bath, expecting to face nothing more exciting than conducting the annual Christmas recital. She hardly imagines coming face to face with French aristocrats and international spies...
Reginald "Turnip"Fitzhugh-often mistaken for the elusive spy known as the Pink Carnation- has blundered into danger before. But when he blunders into Miss Arabella Dempsey, it never occurs to him that she might be trouble. When Turnip and Arabella stumble upon a beautifully wrapped Christmas pudding with a cryptic message written in French, "Meet me at Farley Castle," the unlikely vehicle for intrigue launches the pair on a Yuletide adventure that ranges from the Austens'modest drawing room to the awe-inspiring estate of the Dukes of Dovedale, where the Dowager Duchess is hosting the most anticipated event of the year: an elaborate twelve-day Christmas celebration. Will they find poinsettias or peril, dancing or danger? Is it possible that the fate of the British Empire rests in Arabella's and Turnip's hands, in the form of a festive Christmas pudding"?
Duchess: A Novel of Sarah Churchill by Susan Holloway Scott
"London: 1673. With her family ruined by war, penniless thirteen-year-old Sarah Jennings is overjoyed to be chosen as a maid of honor at the bawdy Restoration court of Charles II. Her beauty stirs the desires of the jaded aristocrats, but Sarah wants a grander future for herself than that of a pampered mistress. As allies, she chooses John Churchill, a military hero whose ambition and passions match her own, and befriends the Lady Anne of York, a lonely royal princess who comes to trust Sarah over all others.
But Whitehall Palace is ripe with ever-shifting alliances and sexual scandal, and Sarah will need all her cleverness to succeed. Titles, power, and wealth are the prizes, while an idle whisper in the wrong ear can bring a cry of treason, and the executioner's axe. Will Sarah's loyalties -- and her dreams -- falter when a king is toppled from his throne, and a new queen crowned? And will she dare risk everything when her one true love is tested by a passionate, dangerous obsession?
Brimming with the intrigue and sensuality of one of history's most decadent courts, DUCHESS brings to vivid life the story of an unforgettable woman who determines her own destiny -- outspoken, outrageous, but most of all true to herself and her heart".
Dancing with Mr. Darcy: Stories Inspired by Jane Austen and Chawton House by Sarah Waters
"An anthology of the winning entries for the Jane Austen Short Story Award
Two hundred years ago, Jane Austen— traumatized by her parents' decision to give up the rectory in Hampshire where she grew up, and unable to write for a decade—accepted her brother Edward's offer of a permanent home in his Chawton House estate. It was there that she picked up her pen once again . . . and gave the world some of the most beloved and enduring novels ever written.
The Jane Austen Short Story Competition celebrates the immortal author and her works, and the blessed home that afforded her the peace and security to create them. Judged and chosen by Sarah Waters, bestselling author of Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith, Dancing with Mr. Darcy includes the winning selection and nineteen runners-up, as well as introductions from Waters and Rebecca Smith, the great-great-great-great-great niece of Jane Austen".

Love, love, LOVE Susan Holloway Scott! She's my favorite!ReplyDelete
I loved Pope Joan when I first read it -- convinced me of the possibility of a female pope! And I'm so very jealous that you got the new Willig!ReplyDelete
I liked the Pope Joan book so very much. Thank you for the reviews on the others as well. I like the sound of the Willig book very much.ReplyDelete
Duchess is the only Susan Holloway Scott novel I haven't read yet. I need to make an effort to fit it in. Only problem then is that there will be no more of her books to read.ReplyDelete
I have my name down for the new Willig. I have read all the books in the series so far and expect to enjoy this one too.
I didn't like Pope Joan as much as other people seem to but it was a good read.
Thanks for the book too!
Amy, I LOVE Susan too, is she not the queen of Restoration England. I am always a sucker for that era.ReplyDelete
Audra, I really love Joan too! That picture in the back of the book has me convinced she did exist even if the men will not admit it. Do not get too jealous I have in store a really cool giveaway for it that will knock your socks off. I can not wait to read it but I have one other one in line first.
Marg, I know what you mean, that is why I do not want to rush into her too! Or jean Plaidy or Chadwick I want to savor them all and really enjoy them.
I just finished Pink Carnation and freaking LOVED it, so hot and yet so Austen style. It was perfect for me.
Oh I am so sad I thought you would love Joan but I I know many readers did not like the violence. I am so glad you got the book I hope you enjoy it.

Spring is almost here (FINALLY), and to me, this signifies the beginning of a season in which it is okay to wear floppy hats. I love floppy hats for two reasons: they protect my ridiculously fair skin, and I get to look like a diva while staying in the shade. With floppy hats, you can't lose. Here are my favorites.
starting from the top and moving clockwise: 1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9
I'm obsessed with quotes. Ask anyone who knows me- I quote everyone, all the time. I'm also obsessed with typography. I love fonts more than I love my family*. So, I present to you a clash of two incredible things, and am beyond excited to show you the following beautiful quotes.
p.s.: I want anyone reading this to know that I really, really wanted to find 5 quotes for this post. I found upwards of 30 that just make me giddy with excitement, so I think this will become a regular type of post. Let me know what you think in the comment box!
I am so obsessed with this Friedasophie Jewelry. Seriously. I used to make jewelry myself (surprise!), so I can say in all honesty that all of these pieced are amazingly crafted. I picked a few of my favorites and put them below.
My favorite thing about her pieces is how perfectly they walk the line between delicate and attention-grabbing, while never veering too far into either territory. Her usage of stones is amazing, too…check out that quartz and aquamarine! She's got a great eye for design, clearly. Check out all of the jewels above (and more!) at her shop on Etsy, which you can find here.
Typically, when I find a shop that I love, I latch onto it, buy a ton, and tell just about everyone how obsessed I am with it, and Earthbound Trading Company is no different. The closest one to my house is about a 20 minute drive, and due to the fact that I grew up (am growing up?) in a town where everything is 10 minutes away at most, I consider that quite a hike. However, for Earthbound Trading Company, I would drive for an hour. Here are my absolute favorite products from them, in no particular order:
Okay, so if I'm being honest, their home section makes me weak in the knees, and I've certainly overindulged in this particular category in one of my many trips to their store. My bed is covered in pillows from them, I have all kinds of random things hanging on my walls, my desk is covered in their boxes and trinkets…it's bad. But after looking at these pictures, I think you'll understand why.

This question already has an answer here:
C# class contructor assigning to 'this'
2 answers
You have made some architectural mistakes:
The first one is that a domain model entity must not know how it must be saved / loaded. So you've broken the Single Responsibility Principle.You must have a repository or some other pattern over them that handles persistance logic.
The second mistake is that generally speaking you've introduced a concrete dependency into your domain model entity ( the DAL class is seen as the concrete type in your domain model entity). This is bad habbit and you just violated the inversion of control principle and the general spoken "code over abstraction and not on concrete implementations" rule.
You can have a static GetObject instead assgin all properties in constructor.
public class MyObj{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool IsActive { get; set; }
public DateTime CreateDate { get; set; }
public static MyObj GetObject(int prmId){
var obj = DAL.get(prmId).FirstOrDefault();
return obj != null ? obj : new MyObj();
static class DAL {
public static List<MyObj> get(int? prmId){
// database stuff to call a Stored Procedure and return 0 or more MyObjs

2011 Bringing Down the Walls. Galleria KONE, Hämeenlinna
This exhibition means to examine cultural notions of place by deconstructing and re-contextualizing images and objects that reflect or influence the collective imagination.
When historical truth collapses, the collective memory has to re-create its contents.
Bringing Down the Walls bridges the use of physical space as metaphor with the construction/deconstruction process of identity building. By working in a variety of artistic media these works intend to investigate the reprocessing of memory and the complexity of location and identity. The story of a space can be traced through its emergent life, its life in construction, its life in use and reuse, its life in individual and collective memory and its life within a culture, suggesting that, while spaces can contain many lives, they can equally live many lives themselves. They mirror the process of how memory is formed, therefore mirroring the process by which we construct beliefs about ourselves and our pasts.
The intended works will deliberately invite multiple interpretations, not only focusing on the sites themselves, but also on their stories, which express a particular memory (or create it). This approach is especially useful if one assumes that there is no single, universal valid interpretation, but that different groups interpret history differently and consequently construct different memories.
There Goes the Neighbourhood a series of paintings on photographs proposes to investigate the love-hate relationship I have with these houses and the sprawling communities they create. Through painterly intervention, I intended to pay homage to these structures present and past that have literally housed thousands. The resulting brightly coloured blocks or voids will reference the architecture of the original structures but also turn them into visual icons, no longer hidden in the landscape.

How I Read Things
Posted May 21, 2011on:
- In: Books
- 5 Comments
Are there people out there who only read one book at a time? I'm just kind of curious, because I don't think there's ever been a prolonged period in my life where I've been in the midst of fewer than four or five books. I usually have around that many that I'm actively reading — usually I'm also in the middle of somewhere between 5-10 more which I've put on hiatus for various reasons (left them at home, lent them out, got bored or creeped out) but intend to pick back up again once my queue opens up.
I started thinking about this when my roommate asked me when I would start reading the copy of Mistborn she lent me, and I explained that I was already full up but intended to start it once I had some more time. I know she juggles more than one book at a time, too (and she knows it's the same for me — she called me on not starting it yet in favor of reading something newer along with my current stack, haha). I know Matteo pretty much sticks to one at a time (and mostly reads what I force on him), but I'm not sure if that's because of inability to keep the stories straight or preference.
I could never have just one book "active," though — what do you do if you're not in the mood for that genre? Take the most recent books I've finished: Bossypants by Tina Fey and On Writing by Stephen King. (I know I wrote about the first, but the second really deserves some mention. I think it was the best book on writing I've ever read, and endlessly inspiring. I am a Stephen King fangirl, though, so maybe take that with a grain of salt.) The reasons I jammed through those were a) because they were both quite compelling, even though I usually don't read a huge amount of autobio stuff, and b) because I could not stand to read any more of Invasive Procedures (Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston) without taking a break. Mind you, it's a good book, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest, it's just that some part of it was rubbing me the wrong way (maybe it's because of this Johnston person, maybe he was cramping my OSC's style!) and I needed to read something else for a bit.
I suppose I could have turned to one of my other in-progress books, but starting new ones is unfortunately a guilty pleasure of mine. I let books cut in line all the time. As a result, there are some less adorably shiny books just sitting on my shelves waiting for their promised day in the sun… waiting, and waiting, as newer releases or the works of more beloved authors move in front time and time again. It's a character flaw to some degree, I know, but I always strive to read what I feel like and not feel obligated to read something I'm not in the mood for. To do so would be ridiculous; the point of reading for me is the enjoyment. Plus, I'll get to them eventually. I never have enough money to keep up with my book appetite, which is voracious. (My mom has always said that I spend more money on books than clothes and food combined; I'd say she was disappointed by this, but I think she was pretty much the same way growing up!) My quick reading speed is also a double edged sword; I get the satisfaction of each book more quickly, but I always need more of them more often. God, do I sound like a drug addict or what?
Either way, I just can't imagine only having one at a time. Maybe that's why people say they get "sick" of reading (this is a foreign concept for me). I guess they take breaks from reading anything at all instead of just switching to something they like better for the time being. I remember when Matteo (in an attempt to please me, I think), wanted to read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest before watching the movie. He wound up hating it but refusing to give up on it in principle. The result was a prolonged break from reading; he couldn't stand to keep reading the stupid book, but he also didn't want to feel like he was giving up. It was a break in a fairly intense me-induced reading spree, and he had actually been enjoying the things I was suggesting/demanding he try. I eventually got him to abandon it and start A Game Of Thrones, and that got him out of the slump.
For what it's worth, my advice is: if you don't like a book, just toss it aside and find something better. Sure, you shouldn't be quitter in the face of rewarding-but-difficult reading (say, if the diction is high-level, or the concept mentally challenging), but forcing yourself to read a book that just isn't ever going to be enjoyable isn't going to make you love reading any more. It's liable to make you hate it. And who has time to waste reading bad books? There are so many good ones out there to find instead. Or if you insist on finishing, but have to take it in small doses… read something else in between, to keep your head working and having fun. Maybe I just think this way because reading is one of my greatest joys and also my best teacher, but I couldn't imagine ever taking a break from reading all together. Finishing books also tends to make me feel, well, hollow and kind of sad, so I like to have something else to turn to for comfort when I'm done. I've always got to have something in the works! Or maybe… several.
(For those interested, my current main four are: A Game Of Thrones by George R.R. Martin (reread), Invasive Procedures by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston, Different Seasons by Stephen King, and La Bella Lingua by Diane Hales. This will probably change in, oh, a day or so. :P)

With the cold temps, we've now turned on the heat. Unlike during the warmer months, baking is even more appealing. Surrounding yourself with the warmth and smells of freshly baked bread helps take the chill out of the air. I bake year round, but when I'm paying for air conditioning, I'm a bit reluctant to pour hot air from my oven into my cool house. Not that it stops me though! I just don't bake on the very hot days.
Today I want to Muse about artisan breads. What are artisan breads? There's debate about the exact definition of artisan breads and whether the term "artisan" should be applied to the bread vs. the person making the bread. Regardless, the very term "artisan" can be intimidating to a newbie. Please don't let that hold you back!
I've been baking typically made breads (sweet, whole grain and sandwich) for many years. I have used the bread machine to prepare the dough and then traditionally shape and bake in a regular oven. I've also used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer with a dough hook. I rarely hand mix/knead dough, as it is too difficult for me. Some people really enjoy the hand mixing and kneading process, and if you can physically do it, it's certainly a gratifying experience. You also have the benefit of developing and using your skills of sensing the "feel" of the bread dough, and knowing when its texture is just right. But any of the mechanical preparation methods I've just described will work fine too.
Artisan breads sometimes do make use of mechanical preparation, or traditional, extensive hand kneading. However, most artisan preparation methods are less intense, using simple mixing and then folding of the dough or doing very little kneading. Instead, longer rise times (or proofing) develop the gluten and airy textures you strive for. Just think, you can bake some beautiful, delicious, loaves with very little in the way of special equipment or physical work. Be warned! Once you are bitten by the "artisan bug", you WILL want to invest in at least a few special "toys" to experiment with! You can spend as little or as much as you or your budget allows!
Artisan, or artisinal breads have that special rustic look. Some are quite fancy, others are simply round, oblong or long and thin like baguettes. Some can be embellished with designs, patterns, or special shaping. Some are baked on a stone or on a pan/sheet and some are baked in an enclosed vessel. These breads are made with care and attention to ingredients and to appearance. They simply have that "wow" factor when you see them. Think of your reaction when you enter a quality bakery and see racks and shelves of mouth watering, beautiful loaves that make you think "old world", or "handmade".
Earlier this summer, I decided to "up" my baking game, and try making some of these special breads. Little did I know how easy it can be and how much FUN I would have. Yes, eventually I did buy some equipment and tools to improve my baking experiences. However, you can get by with minimal investment when you first get started. Believe it or not, supplies can also be found second hand to keep expenses down. For example, I found a gently used Romertopf clay baker for just 9 dollars, a fraction of what it costs new. It bakes an awesome loaf! Baking artisan breads can be strangely addicting. It is so creative offering countless opportunities to express yourself through your breads. You can find countless recipes online and in print to follow AND you can tweak them to make "your own".
I joined a great group on Facebook called Artisan Bread Bakers. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtisanBakers/ This group is huge and comprised of bakers of ALL levels, newbies to professional bakers. Members are supportive and helpful and many are willing to teach and share their expertise, including supporting tentative newbies (like me!). I cannot say enough good things about this group. If you are at all interested in exploring artisan breads, joining this group should be your first step.
Your next step should be doing some research to learn more about what artisan breads are all about. There are countless books written, some more technical than others. Believe me, I think I've read at least 75% of them. Your local library can be great resource. Be sure to use it! I happen to belong to an exceptional library cooperative that allows me access to library collections throughout the state, so if my local library does not have a book, I can probably get it from a library that participates in the cooperative. Can't find it at a library? Don't be shy. Suggest they buy it and add it to the collection! My library has been very receptive to purchase suggestions and have bought quite a few books I have requested.
In future Musings, I will share information about my experiences making artisan breads (some I've already touched on in previous Musings). I'll share what I've learned about ingredients, recipes, equipment, books and on line resources that I've found to be helpful. Be sure to come back and visit for those Musings!
In the meantime, here are some pictures of my projects. (posted in order from earliest to most current bakes) Hope you enjoy them.

Adapted from Chinese Cookery by Rose Cheng & Michele Morris. Los Angeles, CA: Price Stern Sloan, Inc., 1981.
Mandarin Dough (recipe follows)
1/3 lb. Chinese cabbage
1 lb. ground pork
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup chopped green onions
boiling water
Prepare the dough:
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/3 cups warm water
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
4 cups flour
1 tsp. shortening
Mix sugar and warm water in a small bowl. Stir in yeast. Place flour in a large bowl, make a well in the center. Slowly pour in the yeast mixture. Add the shortening. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
Turn dough out onto floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk about 1 – 1 1/2 hours.
In the meantime combine the filling for the dumplings:
Finely dice the cabbage, place in a large bowl with salt. Let stand 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess liquid. Add the remaining filling ingredients to the cabbage and mix well.
Divide the prepared dough in half. Roll each half into a thick log, about 2 inches in diameter. Divide each log into 9-10 equal sized pieces. Form each piece into a small ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a 4-inch circle. To make buns, cup a circle in the palm of your hand. Place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Pleat the edges of the circle, lift the sides over the filling and twist and pinch at the top to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Line a steamer with cabbage leaves. Arrange as many buns on the steamer as will fit, leaving 1 inch between the buns. Let stand 30 minutes to rise.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot or wok. Cover the steamer and place over the boiling water. Steam over high heat 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Remove the cover slowly so the buns do not collapse. Repeat with remaining buns.
Serve hot.

A new medication is under development that aims to be a safer and more effective way to manage multiple sclerosis symptoms..
A new drug to tackle the side effects of multiple sclerosis (MS) will be safer and more effective than current approaches, its West Australian developers say.
MS is a life-long chronic inflammatory and degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that impacts 23,000 Australians and more than two million worldwide.
The inflammation causes lesions in the covering that protects the nerves fibres in the brain, affecting movement capability.
There is currently no cure for MS.
Dr Rakesh Veedu from Murdoch University's Centre for Comparative Genomics said it was a research priority to find for a treatment for chronic inflammation to ease suffering.
Along with Professor Steve Wilton, Dr Veedu is developing a new drug and drug delivery method to treat inflammation in a more targeted manner.
"One particular protein plays a crucial role in inflammation. So in our research we are developing an innovative DNA enzyme that prevents high levels of this protein to tackle the inflammation," Dr Veedu said.
"Once we develop this DNA enzyme, we can then attach it with another molecule that is specifically designed to target the correct cells."

Midland Town OPSEU Workers Set To Strike – Want Fair Deal
Attempts by OPSEU Local 328 to bargain a new contract with the Town of Midland have failed. Members includes outside workers, parks and recreation staff and operators at the waste water plant. Support has been voiced by Local 329 which includes the correctional workers who fought the Province for the right to binding arbitration to settle their grievances in the last contract. In tweets by @opseulocal329 they state that "our 1200+ members stand in solidarity with Town of Midland workers. Shame on council for marching them towards a strike!"
The local worker's last contract almost ended in a strike as well. Seems the Town is content with repeating history, yet again.
Our sources claim that the Town of Midland's bargaining committee has been inflexible and is letting a difference of only 0.5% stand between a deal and labour strife. In addition to the wage issues, the Town wants to claw back dental and drug benefits that would see our local workers treated unfairly when compared to their counterparts in neighbouring municipalities (this sounds just like what we reported about the Town's bargaining with the town police). In addition, they want the raises to kick in at the end of the year instead of in January – a further insult to the labourers.
The workers say they were even willing to forgo retroactive pay if a deal could be reached but the Town is digging in their feet and refusing to bargain fairly with the labour negotiators.
Our sources say that the union workers were simply asking for 1.5% for a three-year deal and that the Town was only willing to offer ZERO, 1% and 1% -and- wanted to claw back what few benefits our labourers have always had. "We are only trying to support our families and many of us have kids" says the source. "Taking away or slashing our benefits is an insult when combined with low wages". Council had the opportunity to give up their generous benefits as an act of good faith more than a year ago and chose not to. The Councillors are the only "part time" members of the Town of Midland who collect benefits.
Watch for an information night, likely to be held at the NSSRC (Sports and Rec Centre) in the near future where you can learn more about what the labourers do for the Town of Midland and why they feel the Town is being unfair, trying to hang their financial woes on the backs of the lowest-paid and hardest working staff that keep the town running.
Midland Council voted themselves a 1% raise shortly after taking office while demanding all departments come in at zero percent. The 1% raise also went to the non-unionized managers. Another deal was settled with the office staff who chose to join the IBEW instead of OPSEU.
A strike by the town's labour force is not good for Midland and it is disheartening that the Town of Midland is choosing to take the gamble that these workers cannot afford to strike heading into the holiday season. Perhaps the cold nights have brought the grinch to Town Hall a little early this year.

Lenders use a ratio called "debt to income" to decide the most you can pay monthly after your other recurring debts are paid.
Typically, conventional loans need a qualifying ratio of 28/36. An FHA loan will usually allow for a higher debt load, reflected in a higher (29/41) ratio.
The first number in a qualifying ratio is the maximum percentage of your gross monthly income that can go to housing costs (this includes mortgage principal and interest, PMI, hazard insurance, property taxes, and HOA dues).
The second number is the maximum percentage of your gross monthly income that can be applied to housing costs and recurring debt together. Recurring debt includes things like car loans, child support and monthly credit card payments.

An email that showed up in my Inbox this morning asked two questions: "Does a homeless person have a chance for employment?" and "Are the homeless discriminated against when they apply for a job?"
Talk about being asked tough questions. And to be quite honest, I'm not sure I know the answer. I don't ever recall coming across any types of studies or statistics that would provide any clear insight about it. But, I'm willing to make what I hope will be an educated guess based on personal experience and from conversations that I've had with a number of homeless people.
The first question is pretty simple to answer: theoretically every person has a chance of becoming employed. But, theory doesn't always match up with reality. In this case, with the unemployment rate being around 5 percent, only about 95 out of every 100 persons has an actual chance of being employed.
But perhaps the question should have been: "Does a homeless person have a chance at becoming gainfully employed?"
Again, in theory – yes. In the real world, the odds aren't all that good.
In general, the homeless are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to finding gainful employment. To be sure, there are jobs out there but a good number of homeless simply do not have the skills required to acquire gainful employment. While there are some exceptions, most homeless would be classified as blue collar workers or unskilled labor – and let's face it, flipping burgers at McDonald's isn't going to allow a person to find a place to live, pay their rent and other bills and still be able to eat.
This is what the National Coalition for the Homeless fact sheet, Employment and Homelessness says about the issue,
"As bad as it is for the 15% of homeless people who have jobs and can't escape homelessness, climbing out of homelessness is virtually impossible for those without a job. For those with limited skills or experience, opportunities for jobs that pay a living wage are very limited. In such a competitive environment, the difficulties of job seeking as a homeless person can be almost insurmountable barriers to employment."
The last sentence in that statement partially addresses the second question: "Are the homeless discriminated against when they apply for a job?"
According to the Federal Laws Prohibiting Job Discrimination Questions And Answers page on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) website:
"Under Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA, it is illegal to discriminate in any aspect of employment, including:
… employment decisions based on stereotypes or assumptions about the abilities, traits, or performance of individuals of a certain sex, race, age, religion, or ethnic group, or individuals with disabilities…"
Once again, in theory, the homeless aren't supposed to be discriminated against when they apply for a job, but – as I said before – theory and reality don't always match up.
I'm not saying that employers go out of their way to discriminate against hiring a person because they're homeless, but it is a distinct possibility that a homeless person is inadvertently discriminated against due to their appearance.
Consider this scenario…
You are an employer. You have one position open and two people apply for that job opening. One of those individuals is dressed neatly. The other person's appearance is a bit disheveled, and they have with them a large backpack – or even several pieces of "luggage" – which contain all of their worldly possessions.
Based purely on their physical appearance, which would you be most likely to hire?
It's easy to say to yourself that you would treat both of them equally; that you would take their "experience" into consideration and make your decision based on the qualifications of each individual.
But let's be honest about it.
We are an American Idol type of society and that makes us a bit superficial. We are more inclined to give our attention to someone who we feel looks more attractive than otherwise. That's just the reality. And, let's face it – a lot of homeless people simply don't have a tailored appearance to them.
Like I said: tough questions – both of them.
And, while I may not know the correct answer to either one, I'm willing to wager that my guesses are a lot closer to actual reality than most are willing to concede to.

HU Breaks Ground For Nation's Largest Proton Cancer Treatment Center
Hampton, Va. – Over 300 people helped Hampton University celebrate its groundbreaking for the sixth and largest proton cancer treatment center in the nation, on Monday, July 23.
"Our center is the only one of its kind in the entire Commonwealth of Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic states," said President William R. Harvey. "The technology available at the Hampton center will make it an unparalleled hub for cancer treatment, research and technology. It will also bring extraordinarily positive attention to our state like no other healthcare investment can."
"I would like to congratulate Dr. Harvey and Hampton University for bringing this technology to Virginia," said Bernt Nordin, president, IBA Particle Therapy, headquartered in Belgium. "The university's ability to make this vision a reality is inspirational for the entire radiation oncology community. IBA is proud to be associated with such a prestigious institution and to partner with Hampton in its mission to improve cancer patient outcomes."
"It is very clear that this will be the largest, most equipped and the most beautiful proton therapy facility in the world," said Nordin.
Numerous city and state legislators were in attendance to show support for the Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute (HUPTI). "Now Hampton Roads will be known as a leader in healthcare technology," said Congressman Bobby Scott, who has introduced legislation in support of $10 million in federal funds. Virginia Delegates Phillip Hamilton and Mamye BaCote also spoke on behalf of the center, having introduced state legislation seeking $2.5 million and $10 million, respectively
"I am thankful to Dr. Harvey and the Hampton University team," said Hampton Mayor Ross Kearney, II. The City of Hampton donated the 5.5 acres of land for the center, because it will be a tremendous investment for the city of Hampton, said Kearney.
Mayor Joe Frank of Newport News and Mayor James Holley of Portsmouth, in addition to city council members from various municipalities throughout Hampton Roads, showed their support by attending the ceremony.
Proton therapy is widely recognized as the most precise form of cancer treatment available to date, able to target the tumor directly, proton therapy leaves healthy tissue unharmed. Patients who undergo this form of treatment have been able to maintain their normal schedules with little to no side effects.
"Cancer is the leading cause of death in Virginia, while Hampton Roads leads the nation in prostate cancer deaths," said Harvey, explaining the importance of bringing HUPTI to Virginia.
It is abundantly clear that our efforts will ease human suffering and save lives, said Harvey. "According to the Center for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute, one out of every three Virginians will develop some form of cancer during his or her lifetime."
"African-Americans suffer disproportionately from cancer, accounting for 59% of all prostate cancer cases. "The death rate from prostate cancer is 2.4 times higher in black men than in white men," said Harvey. "The Virginia Cancer Registry states that, "…the disparity in incidence rates between blacks and whites was greater in Virginia than in the nation as a whole."
"New ground in healthcare is being broken and we are very excited," said Clarence Lockett, member of the HU Board of Trustees."The proton therapy institute will offer and give new hope to the many that will be treated."
"The 98,000 square foot facility, upon its opening scheduled for 2010, will treat approximately 125 patients daily (over 2,000 patients per year) and will feature four gantry rooms and one fixed beam room.
"I am proud to be the medical director for the nation&039;s newest and largest proton therapy institute," said Dr. Christopher Sinesi. "There&039;s nothing experimental about proton therapy. I have worked with cancer treatment for the past 20 years as a radiation oncologist and the benefits are clear and indisputable."
Proton therapy is widely recognized as the most precise form of cancer treatment available to date, able to target the tumor directly, proton therapy leaves healthy tissue unharmed. Patients who undergo this form of treatment have been able to maintain their normal schedules with little to no side effects.
"It is my hope that everyone will see the extreme value of the Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute," said Anna Alexander, whose husband was a proton cancer survivor. "We should all do everything we can to support it."
"The proton radiotherapy center will house some the most advanced cancer fighting technology in the world," said Dr. Cynthia Keppel, scientific and technical director of HUPTI. "The Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute, in partnership with our collaborators such as IBA, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Jefferson Lab, Naval Health Resource Center and others, will insure that Hampton Roads is at the forefront of cancer care and technology development for years to come."

Arachnid biogeography in the Caribbean
Project Abstract
The Caribbean is a global biodiversity hotspot, yet historical influences on taxonomic diversity in the region are not well understood. An international group of arachnologists is undergoing a large-scale inventory of arachnids on the Caribbean. We are collecting multiple lineages and comparing their biogeographic histories to uncover shared patterns of divergence in space and time. This summer will involve taking high resolution images of arachnids to help delineate species that we have identified using molecular tools. With these images we will work to identify morphological characteristics associated with species boundaries.

Our schedule was so full between Encinitas and Santa Ana so when we got moments back at home, they were slow and precious. They were some of my favourite days of all. I loved waking up slowly and sitting with Chrissie with our coffee and catching up on social media and chatting with each other. Reiner was always by our sides and I loved the gentleness of these moments.
I was so grateful to have them and so grateful to have this precious time with my friend.
We walked to downtown Encinitas to Swamis to get Digby some Swamis Tees and Kitty wanted to do some thrift shopping. Other times we drove to the art shop, passed Rob Macho's home and went to see different beaches. We loved it all.
We loved being tourists. I know how much Digz and Corks would have loved this.
Chrissie told us it was the Summer of Love anniversary and being in California and finding this jacket felt like synchronicity at it's finest. Great thrift find Kitty.
I touched the Pacific Ocean and picked up a pebble keepsakes. It's in my studio.
Visiting Swamis and Kitty ordering her first Starbucks treat... oh the choices.
4th July in America in an American home was a special moment for us. Thank you Chrissie, Jim, Kenzie and Will for allowing us to slot into your day and being part of your festivities.
We had a beautiful time with Chrissie's family and in their home. I loved her studio and I spent time working there one evening. I loved their togetherness as a family. I am so grateful to have experienced everyday 'life' with them. To me this was the greatest honour of all and it is everything I hope of my trip to the USA.
I wanted to soul connect with everyone I was staying with and so far being in Phyllis and Chrissie's homes, this is exactly what I was getting and nothing made my heart fuller.
Thank you for allowing us to slot in, to see and feel your life. There is so much grace and humility in doing that and receiving that was beyond precious to me. Humbled by this gesture.

The late Rosa Parks will always be remembered for helping bring about the end of racial segregation in the United States. Her refusal to give up her seat in the "white" section of the bus in 1955 remains an inspiring moment of civil disobedience against unjust laws to subsequent generations.
However, in legal circles, Parks' legacy will also include the lengthy probate battle over her estate that began after she died in 2005. The latest chapter in the years-long legal struggle was written on Feb. 21, when the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that the probate judge who handled the case did not conspire to force the estate to pay excessive attorneys' fees.
Parks and her husband lived in Michigan after the famous bus incident. Her estate plan indicated that her longtime personal assistant and a retired Michigan judge would act as trustees. But when her 13 nieces and nephews challenged the plan, the probate judge named a pair of attorneys in charge of the estate.
Eventually, the parties reached an agreement to split the proceeds from Parks' assets and royalties from licensing her name. Most of the assets would go to the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, an organization that Parks and her assistant founded in 1987. Twenty percent would go to the relatives.
But the matter was not entirely settled. The assistant, who now directs the institute, filed a complaint against the probate judge. She accused him of helping the attorneys he assigned as trustees to gouge Parks' estate with excessive fees. The judge rejected the claims, and a motion to remove himself from the case.
The Wayne County chief probate judge ruled that there was no evidence of impropriety between the judge and the trustees. And on appeal, the Court of Appeals agreed. They wrote that the claim was based on nothing more than "insinuations," and that the judge acted fairly and impartially.
They returned the case to the probate judge, recommending possible sanctions against the director's attorney.
Hopefully, the execution of most of our readers' estate plans will not take nine years to resolve. But this case demonstrates how a substantial estate can invite intense legal challenges, especially if there appear to be problems with the plan.

We used to drum for Pearl Jam…now what do we do? Well, PLENTY!
The illustrious B at TheSkyIScrape unearthed a GREAT interview with Ten drummer Dave Krusen, and that got us thinking – what are other former Pearl Jam drummers up to these days?
Jack Irons' latest drumming gig is with former Distillers frontwoman Brody Dalle's current band Spinnerette. The full-length album "Ghetto Love" is available this spring, and a 4-song preview EP is available from the Spinnerette website. The remix of Sex Bomb drops March 30th, 2009.
San Pedro, CA grows great musicians! EV pal Mike Watt hails from Pedro, and fellow native Matt Chamberlain (drummer on the live version of "Alive" featured on the "Stanley Son Of Theodore" Sony Sampler) is one of the busiest drummers in rock. His main gig has been playing and touring with (one of TFT Kathy's faves) Tori Amos, however Matt also has played on and off with PJ pals Critters Buggin' and has a band called Floratone with the legendary Bill Frisell (remember him from the Northwest School Benefit in 2005?). He also has a solo effort available soon, and will be playing in a duo with Brad Mehldau in San Francisco on May 15, 2009.
Dave Abbruzzese certainly kept very busy in his post Pearl Jam life with Green Romance Orchestra and label Free Association Records, though both have been on hiatus for a while. Publicly, Dave has been a little quiet the past couple of years; his latest contribution appears to be adding drums to funk guitarist Stevie Salas' 2007 release The Sun and The Earth. On a personal note, TFT remembers hearing a great story of Dave reconnecting and marrying his junior high school sweetheart Laura Whisman, and found the article in the Dallas Morning News archives here.
Thanks for the inspiration, B!

That still doesn't make sense... is Harry Tom from an alternate timeline/parallel universe? I ruled out some form of possession as a possibility since the sorting hat told Harry that it would know if there were any other personalities under it. I don't know if I can hope for a clearer in-story explanation now since it seems that Harry, knowing the answer, won't ask about it again :/Harry's mouth seemed to know the answer before his brain could manage to focus on the question. "Tom Riddle is your name. Our name. That's who Lord Voldemort is, or was, or - something."
This is clearly referring to the prophecy, i.e. "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches" and "either must destroy all but a remnant of the other, for those two different spirits cannot exist in the same world", but I don't understand how all but a remnant of Harry Potter has been destroyed? He seems alive and well to me. Also the prophecy said either, not both, must destroy all but a remnant of the other. Edit: Oh wait, maybe that's what he's saying - Harry vanquished the Dark Lord, and he destroyed all but a remnant of Harry (somehow). Seems like someone is playing games with semantics, but I guess that's a time-honoured tradition for prophecies.Professor Quirrell nodded. "Better. You have already vanquished the Dark Lord, the one and only time that you will ever do so. I have already destroyed all but a remnant of Harry Potter, eliminating the difference between our spirits and enabling us to reside in the same world. Now that it is clear to you that the battle between us is a lie, you might act sensibly to advance your own interests.

***This movie review is part of our month of May celebration of the military of the United States and the soldiers in it.***
There are war movies, and then there are war movies, and then there are war movies like Gettysburg. I love this movie a lot. But I am sure that is because I have a love of history, military history, and military combat in the 18th and 19th century (That would be the 1700's and 1800's,) specifically the periods of the American Revolutionary War, the Napoleonic Wars, and the American Civil War. It is because I am a fan of this period of history that I am a fan of this movie. I believe that while this movie is an excellent portrayal of how the Battle of Gettysburg happened, with the necessary Hollywood dramatism, this movie is not for everyone. Indeed I would say it is for a small percentage of people, who are like me, and like this period of history and this specific kind of history.
The Battle of Gettysburg was fought between the Union and Confederate Armies outside of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from July 1st to July 3rd 1863. The movie Gettysburg attempts to recreate the story and the battle that took place emphasizing key moments in each day that had an effect on the overall outcome of the battle. The movie focuses on the Union Armies Calvary soldier defense of the town of Gettysburg on the first day by General Buford, played by Sam Elliot (The Contender,) the attack by the Confederate forces led by General Longstreet, played by Tom Berenger, (Major League,) on the Union Army at the Little Round Top defended by Colonial Chamberlin, played by Jeff Daniels (Speed) on the second day, and on the third and final day, the attack ordered by General Robert E Lee, played by Martin Sheen (Wall Street,) by General Pickett, played by Stephan Lang (Avatar,) which historically became known as Pickett's Charge, and the center of the Union Army defended by General Hancock, played by Brian Mallon, (Gangs of New York.)
First of all this movie is a throwback to the epic war movies of the 1960's and 1970's that were made about World War II. In those movies, and this one, many well-known Hollywood actors would be cast in an ensemble with each character telling a different part of the story with maybe one or two actors considered focal points of the story. Comparisons to this film would be the old films, The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far, Tora, Tora, Tora, and Midway. For this film the focal point or points are General Lee played by Sheen and General Longstreet, played by Berenger. This film was produced by Ted Turner and based on the book The Killer Angels. Since I have not read the book I don't know if the telling of the story from the Confederate side is due to the book or Ted Turner, my guess is Ted Turner, but even though it is told with a larger base in the Confederate side of the battle, the movie does give great attention to the Union Army with the Calvary defense of the town and the fight at Little Round Top. But essentially this film does give us the view of the losers of the battle.
Other than the accuracy of the battle the movie tried to portray, the movie touched on the conundrum that officers and soldiers of both sides had in that, especially with the Generals of the opposing armies, these men were doing battle against others that four years earlier they were not only comrades in arms but friends. The story takes particular note to mention the friendship between Union General Hancock and Confederate General Lewis Armistad, played by Richard Jordan (The Hunt for Red October.) There are two different scenes between General Armistad and General Longstreet that talk about the years and days before the Civil War and the friendships they had with the men on the other side. The movie does have General Hancock talk to General Chamberlin briefly about the same friendship but nowhere near the time that is spent on the Confederate side. The movie also talks about other issues facing the Confederacy in terms of why the war was started and what the Confederacy should have done differently and who how the men who fought for the Confederacy loved the country as much as the Union soldiers did. The movie breaks up the fighting with quite a lot of back story and character development of these historical figures.
The military battles portrayed in the film are where it's at for me. It starts with the fact that when I was a teenager and during the age where the only video game consuls were the Atari and Activision, sorry Nintendo hadn't come out yet, I played a game called Napoleonics that required you to have a large basement floor and some artist skill because in order to build your army you had to put your army together by painting tiny lead figures in the appropriate clothing of the soldiers and then put them on stands. You would then use percentile dice and lengthy directions in order to reenact actually battles. If you have seen the James Bond film Living Daylights, one of the bad guys in the last scene was playing in a room that had diorama's that are very similar to what I am talking about. Anyway my point of this is that the instructions tried to make the game as close to battle as possible. I remember reading that in order for an infantry unit to have max effect at inflicting casualties on the other soldiers the max range the soldiers had to be from each other was 60 feet or 20 yards. So imagine being a soldier on one side and you have to march within 20 yards of a defensive position before your shooting a rifle have a real affect. Hundreds and hundreds of men are killed even before they get to a point where they can do some damage. The movie does an excellent job of showing what happened in these styles of battles. In this three day battle the lowest estimate of killed, wounded, or missing on both sides is 46,000 men. By comparison on D-Day in World War II, the U.S. lost 29,000 men, and during the Iraq War the U.S. lost 4,600 men. I mention this not to trivialize the loss of men during WWII or the Iraq War, but to point out how bloody and costly the Civil War was and how this movie does a great job in showing the style of fighting back then.
As I said this movie isn't for everyone. The downtime between battles that involve the men talking I am sure are slow and at some times tedious. In fact the entire movie may seem like that for some people because the film is over 3 and half hours long, and that's just the theatrical version. The extended version that is on BluRay is over 4 hours long. I love every minute of it. But I imagine that unless you are a hardcore military history man like me this is a film that will be skipped by most people which is a shame. The results of this battle lead to one of the greatest speeches in American History, the Gettysburg Address by President Lincoln. Unfortunately people don't care about that kind of history anymore and many teachers and college professors are trying to eliminate it all together. Anyway, take a July afternoon off one day, especially if it's rainy, and watch this movie. You might like it.

KJ Apa
Birth Name: Keneti James Fitzgerald Apa
Place of Birth: Auckland, New Zealand
Date of Birth: June 16, 1997
Ethnicity: Samoan, Scottish, English
KJ Apa, also known as K. J. Apa, is a New Zealand actor. He plays Archie Andrews in the series Riverdale.
KJ is the son of Tessa Apa, a writer, and Tupa'i Keneti Apa. His sister, Timena Apa, is an actress and model. He has Samoan, Scottish, and English ancestry. His Samoan family is from Moata'a. His surname, Apa, may be related to the name of the capital of Samoa, Apia.
A picture of KJ with his father can be seen here.
KJ's maternal grandfather is John Russell Callander, a judge.
KJ has said:
My dad's father was a high chief … and the family agreed my dad would take over his chief title: Tupa'i… Later, we decided to get a tattoo to commemorate that… I'd love to get my whole body tatted up. I love Polynesian and Samoan designs… The original plan was that this would be the start of a sleeve tattoo, but I think I need to get big arms first…
He has also said:
…[my father is Samoan]. I have a massive Samoan family. And the Samoan culture has always played a massive part of my life. I've got hundreds of family on my dad's side that live in Samoa and in New Zealand. I've just been surrounded by the culture ever since I was a kid. I actually used to speak Samoan, but me and my sisters all kind of lost it. We go there at least once a year to see family. And my dad recently just got a traditional Samoan tattoo. He's a chief in Samoa, so he got that tattoo to commemorate it.

Workers noticed Snap and Crackle were not in their George Crescent enclosure at Sandy Point around 5:30 pm on Friday afternoon.
Police say there were no signs of forced entry but are concerned for the reptiles - which are 80-to-100 cm long - because crocodiles are unlikely to survive outside of a controlled environment.

Did you know that the biggest cause of tooth loss worldwide is due to periodontal disease?
Periodontics is the science that diagnoses, prevents and treats diseases of the gums and surrounding tissue necessary for tooth support.
The diagnosis of this disease is important, as 75% of the world population has some form of periodontal disease, popularly known as pyorrhea.
This usually a painless disease and may go unnoticed for many years. If not diagnosed and treated early, gum disease can spread - destroying the bone and surrounding tissue that sustain the teeth - resulting in mobility and loss of teeth.
Risk factors of periodontal disease are tobacco, lack of oral hygiene, and some systemic diseases such as uncontrolled diabetes.
An early-diagnosed lesion greatly improves its prognosis, preventing the development of a possible malignant tumor - oral cancer.
Treatment is primarily based on surgery and radiotherapy. However, the most important factor is an early diagnosis, which significantly improves the survival rate of this disease.
It is therefore essential to visit the Dentist at least twice a year to periodically check the entire oral cavity.
At the Hospital Particular do Algarve, a Multidisciplinary Team of Specialists and facilities provide the best possible follow-up, using the best techniques and equipment available.

If there was such a grade as "VF39" this coin would qualify as such. It clearly isn't your typical VF35 but it falls just a hairsbreadth shy of qualifying as a real EF. The surfaces show attractive deep, rich green-gold color with some reddish areas at the obverse periphery. The detail is good for the date and grade with less weakness of strike at the centers than usual. There are scattered small abrasions that are consistent with the grade. The 1842-O is the second rarest half eagle from New Orleans and it is highly undervalued in all grades. This is the sort of coin that, if you saw in an auction or a dealer's case at a show, you'd go "wow, that's cool." And it is a truly interesting piece: a very rare and totally problem-free example that is within the budget of nearly any rare date gold collector.
This is one of only two 1842-O half eagles in any grade that have received approval from CAC. The other is an NGC AU58 from the Logan's Landing collection that I sold earlier this year.
