TFGA High Tunnel Peach Project The Texas Fruit Growers Association (TFGA) set up a high tunnel project for tree fruit here in Texas. The purpose was to use hoop type structures to protect early blossom types of tree fruit from Spring freeze damage and hail injury. The purpose includes creating earlier production for the season when peaches are in short supply and high priced. We also planned to observe whether the controlled environment in a high tunnel will reduce insect and disease pressure. We used "Chinese protected structure peach production" as a model to set up our project. The Chinese have been using this type of production system since the 70's on large acreage with the assistance of University experts from the U.S. and we have not tried it here in the U.S. for peaches. To start, we chose varieties of peach, an apricot, and low chill sweet cherries that had lower winter chill requirements than varieties normally grown at each of the site areas. This enabled us to create blossoms 3 to 4 weeks earlier than in open orchards. We obtained the cooperation and space at four successful peach producers for the demonstration sites. Each of the caretakers was responsible for the construction of the TFGA high tunnel and all caretaking responsibilities including planting trees and structure maintenance. Sites are in 3 different USDA climate zones including 8a, 8b and 7b. The Project Manager, Dan Rohrer, assisted with construction and provided information to the growers as each season progressed. We had volunteer labor help at several sites because of curiosity on the project. Other entities assisting or cooperating included Tree Fruit Specialists, Monte Nesbitt and Jim Kamas of Texas AgriLife Extension, Dr. David Byrne, Peach Breeder of Texas A & M University, Dr. Desmond Layne of Clemson University, Dr. Curt Rom of Univ. of Arkansas, Hill Country Fruit Council, and conversations with Dr. Greg Lang, a Sweet Cherry Specialist at Michigan State Univ. Dr. Byrne, Dr. Rom, and Dr. Layne had visited some of the Chinese sites so their counsel was instrumental in setting up this project. A portion of the funds were provided from a TDA Specialty Crop Block Grant program. We used two different manufacturers, Haygrove and FarmTek. The hooped structures had 2 rows of trees 12 feet apart with tree spacing at 4 ft. on the row in a 200 ft. long tunnel with drip irrigation for water and nutrients. Variations included cherry trees at 3 ft. spacing instead of 4ft. and one peach tunnel with 3 rows to be similar to the Chinese high density to compare our production methods. Peach trees were trained in a V shape for peaches and in a slender spindle upright growth in cherries rather than a bush type. The structures were covered with the specialized plastic (more light diffusion than greenhouse plastic) in January after the lower winter chill hour requirement (400 hr.) was met. The earliest peach blossoms occurred by January 20, about 5 weeks earlier than normal outside orchard. The increased heat (growing degree days) kept the trees growing more than a month ahead of schedule till harvest time. For the initial 2011 planting, we at TFGA were only able to obtain about half of the plant material (bareroot trees) because of the lead time required for propagating special varieties on correct rootstocks. Each structure was at least 50% planted in 2011 and peaches finished planting in 2012. A portion of the early cherry varieties were propagated in 2012 but are not ready for replant till 2013. With the cost savings on the initial setup, we were able to expand the project to include a citrus site in 2012. With the Citrus Greening disease, the high tunnel unit may be an alternative production system in higher chill localities for vector control in citrus. Green Leaf Nurseries donated Satsuma plant material for this trial site in Tomball, TX. Lessons learned: 1. Early planting even if only 14 days earlier is very beneficial for extra first year growth. 2. Fruit production on 1st leaf trees is workable in a high density planted high tunnel. 3. Early training reduces first year yield. 4. Much lower disease and insect pressure in high tunnel. No "free water" or rain on fruit eliminates Brown rot. 5. Mites and mildew increase possible in high tunnel vs. open field, but we have good controls, both Organic and chemical. 6. V shaped training on peaches appears to be most optimal tree shape for us in TX. 7. Cotton Root Rot in cherries can be a problem even on the peach interstem rootstock. 8. Chemical free or organic production in peaches are much more workable in HTs. 9. Hail on 5-7-12 at Rohrer site, 50% loss on outside trees, no damage in tunnel. Goals achieved include: 1. Showing this high density production method is an option in Texas by minimizing risk. 2. Fruit can be 4-5 weeks earlier than field production. 3. Marketable fruit can be produced on 1 yr. old trees. 4. Lower insect and disease can reduce chemical pest inputs. For the site identification, the grower name and city is listed in summary and 2012 yield recorded. 2012 YIELDS Studebaker, Stonewall - trees planted 1-28-11, not headed at planting, no training cuts, and pushed for maximum growth. 1 peach variety and apricot pulled at end of 2011 growing season for inadequate growth. Yield may be compromised 2nd year due to heavy pruning. Yield 26.4lb./tree Childress, Cross Plains - 2-20-11 planting trees were headed and started early scaffold branch training in June so growth not as rapid in 2011 as Studebaker site. Cherry samples planted also. Yield 7lb./tree Cooper, Fairfield - last date trees planted on a vigorous soil and modified tree training. Several Satsuma varieties planted also. Yield 7.2lb./tree Rohrer, Fredericksburg - trees planted 2-14&15-2011. Headed at planting and scaffold trained thru the season. Cherries high headed at planting but did not develop adequate lower branching so retrained in 2012 growing season. A few cherry clusters on but no yield till expected till 2013. Peaches grown using only organic fertilizer and organic pest control so growth was less vigorous than conventional grown. Yield 10.8lb./tree Matt, Tomball - Some citrus trees planted in 2012, TFGA purchased high tunnel 5-12-12. Planting is continuing, to be completed in 2013. Possible small Satsuma yield in 2013.

Because we couldn't find a place where kids could get a seriously good haircut that didn't cost an arm & a leg, so we decided to do it ourselves. Heidi and Jen talk PREP!
With a little luck and a lot of hard work, our dream became a reality, and PREP was born.
Check out what we did and let us know if YOUR community is ready for PREP. We are expanding and can make it easy for you! Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and let's get your PREP up and running!
Style: One length, long, straight, and dark.
Song: Wonderwall. Both the Oasis and Ryan Adams versions. Or anything by Jay-Z or Kanye.
Tried it once, never again hair disaster: By the time I was 13, I was already 5'11" tall. (I outgrew my 5'8" dad in fifth grade!) Everything about me was awkward: I was really tall, had braces, and sported size 11 shoes. Worse, the only place we could buy shoes for me was through a mail order catalog called, "Tall Gals," because none of the stores sold shoes that big for girls! So I was desperate to get a hairstyle that would make me look good, but the cut totally backfired. I walked out with a permed mullet and feathered bangs. See the picture? Enough said.
Style: Super long and layered.
Song: Anything by Weezer. I'm also loving Empire of the Sun right now.
Tried it once, never again hair disaster: The summer when I was 13, my mother decided we should get matching haircuts. What? I almost swallowed my gum. I had long, brown hair. My mother's hair was short, blond and permed. "No mom," I gasped. "Please don't do this!" But she ignored me and told her stylist to chop away. I wore a baseball cap all summer until school started and I had to get this photo taken. As I smiled for the camera, I silently swore never to have short permed hair again. P.S. My mom made me wear these clothes for the photo.

Zhu Xiao-Mei: How Bach Defeated Mao
Music, especially the music of Bach, made it possible for Zhu Xiao-Mei to cope with the worst challenges of her existence. The pianist experienced all of the consequences of the Mao regime and the Cultural Revolution: years of indoctrination and "reeducation," five years confined to a labor camp, a shattered family, hardships and harassment. In 1980, she emigrated and ultimately made Paris her new home.
C.P.E. Bach, The 1786 Charity Concert – Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, RIAS Kammerchor, Hans-Christoph Rademann
When music and musicians combine in the service of a good cause, the memory alone makes it worthwhile. Add that to the historic charity concert held by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in April 1786 "for the local medical institute for the poor", which was of momentous importance for the history of reception for his father's music.

J. S. Bach: Goldberg Variations – Zhu Xiao-Mei
Zhu Xiao-Mei ranks among the greatest pianists of our times and is one of the most renowned interpreters of J. S. Bach's music. The Goldberg Variations stood at the beginning of her international career and represent the "greatest musical encounter" of her life. "It is a universal piece of music that knows no frontiers"; this is the message of her extraordinary playing which is being celebrated in concert halls around the world. Continue reading
J.S. Bach – Mass in B Minor – Georg Christoph Biller, St. Thomas Boys Choir, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra
The Mass in B Minor, Bach's last completed vocal work as well as the climax of his creativity, reveals the overwhelming wealth of his compositional skills. In the history of music it ranks highly, as the "Montblanc of church music" (Franz Liszt) – composed during Bach's time as cantor at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. Performed in this important composer's domain, the Mass in B Minor casted a spell over its listeners as the crowning glory of the Leipzig Bach Festival in 2013. Continue reading
St. Matthew Passion – St. Thomas Boys Choir Leipzig and Georg Christoph Biller
The St. Thomas Boys' Choir is widely acknowledged as one of the finest boys' choirs in the world: In 2012, the choir celebrated its 800th anniversary – an almost unbelievable period of time, all ups and downs of European history the choir outlasted, maintaining its unbroken traditions over the centuries and holding onto established principles such as the inclusion of the elder boys in the education of the younger ones.

While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Dodge vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. When your Dodge RM300 left the factory, it was destined for a driver who wants a trusted name in their automobile. Obviously, you bought your RM300 because you knew that you wanted great performance and American engineering both impeccably combined into one automobile. Anyone who drives a Dodge knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the highest quality replacement parts will do.
The engineers that designed the motor in your vehicle have determined an optimal operating temperature. That's why your Dodge RM300 engine has a network of cooling hoses transferring a mixture of water and ethylene glycol throughout the engine. The radiator hoses under your hood connect the water pump and engine block to the radiator core, while other coolant hoses direct coolant through or past the thermostat housing, heater core, and the coolant reservoir. If a Dodge RM300 radiator or coolant hose springs a leak, then coolant pressure will drop and it could boil; leading to engine failure.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. Don't let a broken Coolant & Radiator Hose spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Ordering new Dodge parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement RM300 parts on the internet. If your car or truck was built in 1974, 1973, 1971, then you will find the correct Dodge RM300 Coolant & Radiator Hose parts right here.

I made a quick drive through stop in Canmore and Banff, two places I would have liked to have spent more time in, visiting people and exploring the towns. It seems I will have to do this trip again at a more leisurely pace.
There was a brooding, mysterious mood to the mountainous drive yesterday. Very little traffic and these majestic beings appearing and disappearing around me as I drove through them. Their physical presence is so overpowering and always remind me how small and insignificant we are as individuals. I had a similar feeling when I visited the groves of Redwoods in California. Although all of the earth is holy, one feels on sacred ground here.
I was happy to see that this sign is still just outside of Radium. I lived in these mountains many moons ago and I always loved driving by this sign.
I stopped beside the Kootenay River to just listen and gaze at this crystal cold clearness. I love rivers and this one was so alive and pure, you could see all the river pebbles just below the surface of the rushing water.
I have arrived in Invermere and am staying with Joanne and Drew who took me out for an excellent dinner last night, overlooking the beautiful valley that they live in. Tomorrow I head for Kamloops and I can't wait to see my Amy!!

'One Rainy June Afternoon 1998' - For Once Upon A Sketch and 7 Dots Studio
Hello all!
I had some time over this past weekend to do some scrapping and I decided to do the Challenge
Once Upon A...Sketch
. I've done a couple of the sketches here over the last months and I must say
I really like that they get me thinking about my journalling and ensuring it's meaningful.
I love scrapping for the pure enjoyment of playing with paper and and stencils and mediums -
yes all the fun messy stuff! But it's easy to lose sight of the memory keeping side of scrapping amongst all that product so I'm thankful that this challenge is
'keeping me honest' I guess you could say.
Here's the sketch for April.
Journalling Theme: "An event that changed my life..."
I've also used the current challenge at
7 Dots Studio
"April showers bring May flowers"
Here's what I created.
'One Rainy June Afternoon 1998'
I scrapped a current picture of my Husband and I but as you'll see further down it's about
a mementous day we shared in 1998 which I have no pictures from - pre-digital - so we didn't take
thousands of photo's back then!
Another reason to be thankful for this challenge.
I would never, normally have scrapped this memory because I had no photo of it!
As per the flower theme from the 7 Dots Studio challenge I've included lots of flowers on
my page. Most of them I've altered either by adding Prima Chalk ink or Colour Shine sprays, layering them on top of each other and securing with a brad to make a larger flower.
These close ups are of the background work using Izink inks and Luminarte Elementals.
On the background I've also used one of the newer Prima Stencils with modelling paste and
rubbons for texture.
The papers layered behind my photo's are from the 7 Dots Studio,
9th Wave collection and the base paper is from the
Messy Head collection.
Here's my Journalling. There was a lot!!
So I printed it out on three tags and stuck them together with tape so it can all be folded and slipped behind the photo. I guess it's basically all about the day my Husband and I decided to commit to each other, eighteen months after this day we got married and started our family.
It amazes me -because my memory of past events is usually not the best- that I can remember little details about this day so many years later. The rain, the football match - I guess it just shows that it was a pivotal moment in our lives.
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look at my blog.

Scrap The Boys - April challenge
Hello this is my post for the
Scrap the Boys
Blog Challenge.
The challenge this month is to use flowers on your page.
Wanting to challenge myself as well as mix it up a bit I tried not to use to many
actual paper flowers, actually I've just used one. Instead I stamped my flowers with a dylusions
stamp and then coloured them by painting them with Gelatos.
I used papers from the Heidi Swapp Mixed Company and Color Wash range.
So I hope you can join us this month and Scrap a page of your boy/s or man with flowers on the page.

If you, or someone you know, has been hospitalized over the holidays, then you know it's not much fun. Even though staff try to make the place as festive as possible, it's still a hospital. Nothing is the same as being at home with your loved ones for Christmas.
This holiday season, there will be people in our community who are too sick to be discharged from Cambridge Memorial Hospital. There won't be much we can do about that, but there is one wonderful thing that you and I can do to cheer them up. One simple act of kindness that will benefit our community hospital for years to come.
You can help light up the Trees of Caring with a donation to Cambridge Memorial Hospital Foundation today!
I remember when my father-in-law was too frail to leave the hospital one Christmas. He loved to watch the three trees outside Cambridge Memorial gradually light up as more and more people in the community made a donation. He knew that every light represented someone who cared enough to give.
This will be the 28th year that our community has come together to set the Trees of Caring ablaze with lights. And this year, your donation will join with hundreds of others to buy the equipment so urgently needed for the new wing of our hospital!
Will you join me and other members of our community in making a donation to the Trees of Caring campaign? With a $10 donation, you can light up an individual bulb on one of the trees, or you can light an entire string for $250.
You can dedicate your lights to someone dear to your heart, as a way to pay tribute to them during the holidays. If you like, the Foundation will send a card to let them know you've remembered them in such a special way this year.
You'll have the extra satisfaction of knowing that your donation will help to buy high priority equipment for our newly transformed hospital. You may not be aware that the government will not be covering any equipment costs for the new wing. The doctors and nurses at Cambridge Memorial will be relying on you and me, and the rest of our community, to provide them with the latest equipment and technology they need to take good care of our families.
These dedicated medical professionals are there for us 24 hours a day, year round. I don't think it's too much to ask that in return, we make sure they have the tools they need to provide our families with excellent care, do you?
As someone who has lived in Cambridge almost my entire life, I've seen first-hand the great patient care available at our community hospital.
All of my three sons were born at Cambridge Memorial, and when my son, Andrew, ran his bicycle into the back of a pickup truck at the age of 6, severing a main artery, I felt incredibly blessed to have this amazing hospital so close to home.
I felt their sense of commitment and caring when my Mom had a stroke two years ago. Her condition was so critical, she had to be transferred to Hamilton. Sadly, they couldn't do anything for her and she was gone within 36 hours. And then 86 days later, my Dad passed from an infection that just ravaged his body. Neither the antibiotics nor the doctors could save him.
When the doctor put his arm around me to console me in my grief, I knew how much he cared. I could feel the compassion of the nurses as they helped me through my second huge loss in less than three months. They made me feel like family.
That personal connection will never change, even as Cambridge Memorial grows and modernizes. I'm as excited as the next person about the amazing changes that are taking place at our hospital, but I'm a small town girl at heart.
I've been working in this community for 35 years. I served on City Council for Ward 5 for almost eight years back in the 90s. I've been volunteering in the community ever since I was in high school, and am past-president of the Preston-Hespeler Rotary Club. My roots are in Cambridge, my family is in Cambridge, my heart belongs to Cambridge.
So I'm extremely proud that Cambridge Memorial will always be a community hospital that is staffed by people who live here, raise their families here, and are treated at Cambridge Memorial when they get sick themselves.
We all deserve a top-notch hospital, with the latest equipment and facilities. That's why I recently joined the Board of the Cambridge Memorial Hospital Foundation. And that's why I'm asking you to join me in supporting the Trees of Caring campaign to buy these urgently needed items:
Infant Warmers that maintain the body temperature of newborns
5 warmers are needed, each costs $22,30
Patient Beds
42 beds are needed for the new wing, at a cost of $7,888 each
42 stretchers
including 4 for Pediatrics, are needed for patient transfer and the new Operating Rooms, basic stretchers are $4,631 each and the Pediatric ones are $6,000 each
ICU Beds
6 specially designed patient beds are needed for the bigger ICU in the new building, at a cost $7,888 each
IV Infusion Pumps
8 new IV pumps are needed to deliver fluids and medication to patients, each costs $4,900
Patient Lifts
3 new lifts will enable staff to move immobile patients in safety and dignity, the price tag is $10,000 each
2 life-saving ventilation machines to help patients with respiratory failure or chronic breathing problems, for a cost of $30,000 each
All of this new equipment is needed to fill the new wing that's been rising above the construction hoarding at Cambridge Memorial. Many people in our community didn't believe this day would come, but it's happening! Our families will finally have the hospital facilities that they deserve.
Our expanded and renovated hospital will have a larger diagnostic imaging department that will provide answers to doctors sooner and with more precision. The big new operating suites will be able to handle more sophisticated types of surgery, like laparoscopic operations that result in less pain, fewer complications and faster recovery.
Young families will benefit from the brand new birthing units – I wished they'd been around when I was delivering my boys! The mental health unit is expanding to meet the increased need in our community for psychological supports. And the new ER will be three times the size of our current one!
These improvements to our hospital will be critical for our fast-growing city. This small-town girl already feels like Cambridge is big enough! But more and more people are discovering the wonderful quality of life to be found here. Our hospital must keep pace with the increased demands on its staff and facilities.
One thing that you and I can do is help ensure that the doctors, nurses and other hospital staff have the equipment and technology they need to provide high quality health care for our families.
They can't do it without our help. There are 130,000 people living in Cambridge and all of us depend on our hospital for our wellbeing. If just 1 in 5 of us made a $10 donation to the Trees of Caring Campaign, we could easily cover these equipment needs with room to spare!
Will you please be that 1 in 5? Will you join the family of supporters who, every year for the past 28 years, have lit up the Trees of Caring outside our hospital?
You'll not only be lifting the spirits of patients who have to spend the holidays in hospital, and their families. You'll also be bringing cheer to the dedicated medical staff who will be leaving their own families at home to take care of the sickest members of our community.
I think this visible show of support for hospital staff is so important, because their job is not easy. Every day of the year, they deal with the physical, mental and emotional trauma of their patients. They see people at their most vulnerable, most afraid, and sometimes, most demanding. They respond with caring and compassion, using their expertise to heal and send us back to our families.
If you already support Cambridge Memorial financially, then please accept my heartfelt gratitude for being a great role model to others in our community. If you could pass my letter along to a neighbour or friend and let them know you're a supporter, you would be providing a wonderful boost to our Trees of Caring campaign!
If you have not yet sent a donation to our community hospital, then I invite you to join our family of supporters today! Whether you light up one bulb or an entire string, your Trees of Caring gift will have a huge impact on our newly transformed hospital.
Please help us buy urgently needed hospital equipment with your donation today.

Locally, United Way of the Columbia-Willamette is focused on breaking the cycle of childhood poverty. We are harnessing the caring power of people across multiple sectors – community members, corporations, small business, government, nonprofits, schools, and labor – to bring about the systemic change needed to improve the lives for kids and families living in poverty in our four counties.
Since our founding in 1920, we have helped hundreds of corporations based here in the Pacific Northwest with their corporate social responsibility efforts by facilitating workplace giving campaigns, organizing targeted volunteer efforts, and telling great stories of how local businesses are advancing philanthropy throughout our region, and we couldn't be prouder of our accomplishments together.
We are better together.
That's why we're inviting you to take our work one step further by joining our efforts to break the cycle of childhood poverty in our four counties. It's our region's most ambitious and comprehensive anti-poverty initiative yet.
Poverty is growing rapidly in our region. Tackling an issue of this magnitude won't be easy. Poverty is a complex and multi-faceted issue. It's more than any one organization can address alone. In order to bring about the systemic change needed to improve the lives for kids and families living in poverty, it's going to take all of us!
To ensure kids living in poverty in our region get what they need to succeed, United Way has centered our work with you and other members of the community with three goals in mind:
- Successful Students: A strong educational foundation
- Stable Families: A stable foundation at home
- Connected Communities: A strong fabric of supports
Our comprehensive, holistic strategy includes a range of resources – not only grant funding, but also volunteer investments, staff expertise, and shared knowledge from our collaborative partners. United Way is proud to partner with local donors, nonprofits, volunteers, businesses, schools, government agencies, and community members to break the cycle of childhood poverty.

This little pin cushion was simple and fun to make. You can find the pattern here.
Plus, it made me feel springy to make it. We are having sunny skies and [slightly] warmer temperatures. I am starting to feel symptoms of spring fever . . .
A little something

February 4, 2009 at 7:50 pmHello and nice to meet you! Your friend is going to love the pincushion.

Thanks for sharing.
Nanette Merrill and daughters
February 5, 2009 at 9:51 amI'm so ready to look out the window in my sewing room and see buds. Love the pincushion. How did you secure it? I need to find the right glue to do this since I'm teaching a class and the technique is somewhat like this. I have several glues but I'm always wondering what is best.
February 5, 2009 at 3:02 pmWho wouldn't love that? Pincushions are so cute. I love the Recess line of fabrics, I am just now finishing a quilt out of it for my mom. I am so glad that you found the swap and want it, it will be fun.
February 5, 2009 at 11:14 pmAmy- that is so cute! We have to get together and do fun little crafts like this while the kids destroy the house! So much fun!

The criminal defense lawyer. Redefined.
Martin H. Ehrengraf, dapper and diabolical, may be Lawrence Block's darkest creation. He's the defense attorney who never sees the inside of a courtroom, because all his clients are innocent - no matter how guilty they may seem. Some even believe themselves to be guilty: They remember pulling the trigger, or wiring the dynamite to their spouse's car, or holding the bloody blade. But things have a way of working out when Martin Ehrengraf is on the case. Evidence turns up, incriminating someone else. More murders occur, with the same M.O. And the gate of the jail cell opens, and the accused walks free.
But be careful - hiring Martin Ehrengraf comes with a price. A high price, one that comes due even if he appears to have done nothing on your behalf. And you'd better be prepared to pay...
Here at last are the complete exploits of Martin Ehrengraf: a dozen delicious tales of vice and villainy including one - ''The Ehrengraf Fandango'' - that is appearing for the first time anywhere. It's a 12-course meal of sinister surprises, exquisitely prepared and served simmering hot by the greatest living master of mystery fiction.
©2014 Lawrence Block (P)2014 Lawrence Block
"Guilty as sin"
Martin H. Ehrengraf is a smooth motherf**ker. Cunning, too. Devious might be a better word. He's a lawyer after all. If you're in a real jam, he's the man you call. Martin's trick is that he hates going to court. He'd much rather get everything settled before he has to set foot in the halls of justice to defend his client. He's got a flawless record, though. And that comes at a fairly high price.
There are twelve stories in all, eleven of which previously appeared in the pages of Ellery Queen Mystery Magaine. From what little I've read of that mag, it highlights the more clever mysteries as opposed to the more hard-boiled, hard-bitten tales, and this bunch certainly falls into the realm of clever. There is, by virtue of the rather ominous deals struck between Ehrengraf and his clients, that I suspect stood out from the usual fare of that mag.
For many of his clients, it appears on the surface that he hasn't done much lawyering at all to ensure their exoneration. Extenuating circumstances and simple strokes of luck seem to be the order of the day, and that gives some pause in honoring the steep payments demanded of them. And there's one thing you do not do with Ehrengraf and that is renege on an agreement.
Don Sobczak's voice work for the audiobook is really good in capturing that casually sophisticated tone of Ehrengraf that holds an undercurrent of menace. It's just a hint really when he gives his subtle warnings to his clients about the costs of his services and the resoluteness of his approach to keeping them "innocent."
The stories may come off a bit repetitive when digested in one swoop, but bear in mind these were published weeks or months apart originally, and the setting is always the same, so there are some limits to how the story can progress and how multiple stories can be received all at once. But Block fans shouldn't be too troubled by that, and should find that same wry passion for crime fiction, as always.
"A Dark look at a Perfect Attorney"
Lawrence Block is the winner of multiple awards as a mystery writer and has been writing since the 1950's and has written more than 50 books and Short Stories. Defender of the Innocent is a collection of short stories written about Martin H. Ehrengraf a dapper little lawyer whose clients all turn out to be innocent. I would love to see this made into a movie starring Danny DeVito.
These stories are fun and creative, although slightly unbelievable that no one would notice how many suspects get off in somewhat the same manner. Besides that one issue the stories are very enjoyable and the audiobook as a whole is a great investment of time and money.
Narrated by Don Sobczak, who brings this dark yet optimistic and sincere attorney to life. All of the different characters are uniquely represented and show the range of this performance artist. Sobczak takes the short stories and makes them seem fluid in space and time. Don increased the level of enjoyment from just reading to a listening experience. This audiobook is a must listen for any darker minded legal thriller fans.
I received this book as a gift for an honest review.
The tongue in cheek humor was so subtle. That made it even funnier.
The greatest scenes were the ones where potential clients admit their guilt to the little lawyer yet he persists in his theory that are innocent.
Don Sobvczak did an excellent job with a variety of voices from the gruffest men to soft-spoken women... and always understated.
Martin Ehrengraf, of course, is the most memorable character in the stories. Also the crazy young psychopath who killed his parents while using the drug EKG was a close second.
Although I've read a few of the stories in the past, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them along with the ones that had escaped me. Having worked in the legal profession for many years, I found the stories hilarious.

Yes, that's exactly what my client said to me after she got on the scale, which showed a five pound weight gain. In fact, she has quite an elaborate interpretation of this study that hit the airwaves and internet recently. She said that based on the various things she had read and heard, she knew she could continue to eat chocolate and lose weight. So let me start by saying this is a relatively new client and so we've had little time to get acquainted or for me to share significant guidance. Client A, as I will call her, was simply filling out a food journal for the week and following my directive to not change anything, so that I would have a clear view of her eating habits. Unfortunately, she did hear the news about chocolate, and so she increased her consumption of dark chocolate, because she said, "that's what I would have done hearing this news if I wasn't seeing you." And you told me not to change any habits. So her baseline weight increased by 2 pounds when I weighed her during our second visit.
In all fairness to my client, headlines in various newspapers screamed:
- Chocolate may not be hazardous to your waistline
- Frequent chocolate eaters are thinner
- The chocolate diet may help you get thin too
- Who says chocolate eaters are fatties?
Of course, I think most sensible people would have examined the actual study or assumed that there has to be some optimal portion size and frequency that is connected to maintaining a healthy weight or losing a bit of weight. So let's examine the study a bit. The average subjects were middle age individuals, and they exercised about three times a week and ate chocolate on average twice a week. Not your definition of "frequent" is it?? And the type of chocolate - dark, milk, white - did not seem to make a difference (that is surprising to me, since we really only credit darker chocolate with anti-oxidants). Well, to be fair the pool of subjects actually had a range of exercise frequency, a range of weights during weigh-ins and a range of amounts of chocolate eaten, with the most frequent intake being five times/week and the least frequent being zero servings per week. The study noted that the people who consumed the most frequent servings of chocolate weekly and exercised with no more frequency than other subjects, tended to have the lowest weights. The actual differences in weight hovered around five to seven pounds, so these "high chocolate eaters" on average weighed five to seven pounds less. Since dietary observational studies can be unreliable, the researchers did adjust for age, gender, vegetable consumption, fat and calories consumed and even for depression. Despite these variable adjustments, the relationship of higher chocolate consumption and lower weight (BMI) remained.
So what is exactly at work here creating the weight benefits? The researchers want it clearly understood that it's not how much chocolate was eaten, but rather "frequency of eating the chocolate" that conferred the benefits. The BMI actually began to climb when frequency of consumption was coupled with larger portions. The lead researcher also postulated that the phenols, a type of antioxidant in the chocolate, especially dark chocolate, increased muscular performance, helped to build lean muscle mass, and seemed to reduce a person's weight without a person also having to reduce calorie consumption or increase exercise. So the takeaway seems to be that chocolate provides a bit of a weight edge when small portions are consumed frequently in certain individuals. No magic and no big weight loss - just a bit of and edge.
I might add that since the study and the news of the study hit the airwaves, other experts have come forward to question efficacy and methods used in the study. Frankly I do too, because white chocolate is not really chocolate from a nutrition standpoint and milk chocolate also typically has far lower levels of anti-oxidants and phenols. If the study only pointed out 'benefits of very dark chocolate," I would find the results more clinically believable.

Becoming a yoga teacher was never a goal, something I never even considered doing – until I became a part of the community at Santosha and met dina Lang. I quickly began experiencing feelings of wanting to become a teacher and pass on the gift of yoga. I was on the fence about attending the training. Dina took the time to meet with me personally and patiently listened to me talk in circles about whether or not teacher training was a good idea for me. I am so happy I made the decision to attend teacher training and haven't looked back since.
I will be the first to admit that I entered training as a self proclaimed "asana queen." I struggled in the beginning with the yoga sutra's and other sacred texts but quickly began to come around and found myself looking forward to our Wednesday night "spiritual stuff" discussions. Dina has an amazing ability to teach without forcing any of her own opinions and ideas on you and allowing you to go down your own path of self discovery. Now, this asana queen finds herself quoting the sutra's at the end of a teaching a class and purchasing multiple books on the chakras. Not to worry, I still believe every chaturanga counts and that life is better spent balancing on your hands. |
I am teaching several classes a week and am fortunate enough to be a part of the teaching staff at Santosha Yoga. Join me Thursday nights for some Power Vinyasa at 7 p.m. (a guaranteed good time!)

Event Description
Key Take Away:
The focus of this webinar is how deal with the inevitable conflicts, difficult people and situations that occur in the workplace, so that it leads to positive outcomes both for the people involved and the organization.
Workplace conflict is an inevitable part of life. No matter how hard you try, it can seem that there will always be something that causes you or someone around you to be frustrated, angry, and impatient – or a whole host of other not-so-pleasant emotions.
Conflict arises when the people we work with have different ideas, perspectives, backgrounds, values, goals or expectations. Yes, conflict can be destructive! It diverts energy from more im¬portant ac¬tivities and issues; it polarizes people and reduces cooperation; and it can produce irresponsible behavior.
Why Should You Attend:
Time is Money. There are a variety of direct costs to the organization associated with poorly managed conflict, including, in the worst cases, the loss of customers and good employees. One that is visible to everyone is the time taken to successfully resolve issues. Time that would be better spent on accomplishing work and achieving goals is instead used to manage disagreements, smooth ruffled feathers, and deal with difficult people.
Areas Covered In This Webinar:
• Identify the top six causes of conflict and which one produces the most problems
• Understand the iceberg concept of conflict – what's above and below the water line
• Define five conflict management styles and match each style to different conflict situations
• Decide if you're a shark or a turtle or a teddy bear or a fox or owl in how you handle conflict
Learning Objectives:
• Learn how to keep your cool and react in a professional manner in the heat of the moment
• Learn the language of positive communication to reduce negative emotions, especially anger
• Recognize the four types of difficult people that drive you crazy and how to deal with them
Who Will Benefit:
• CEO's
• COO's
• VP of Human Resources
• Chief Learning Officers
• Directors
• Project Managers
• Operation Managers and Supervisors
• Team Leaders
• Human Resources Professionals

Fast, fun, and aggressive. Get your head over the downhill edge and let them rip.
Pros: No speed limit, impressive edge hold, incredible crud performance, disco sticks, delicious torsional stiffness
Cons: Cheapo Marker system binding, haven't tried them in the bumps, pretty heavy, un-intuitive turn initiation, turn radius is a bit long, expensive
Ski in question: FireArrow 84 EDT (2013 model, but rumor has it they only changed the graphics since last year)
Binding: This is a system ski. Cheapo Marker binding system.
Size: 184 cm
Tune Details: Hand tuned 2/1 degree edges, Swix CH8 Hydrocarbon hot and cold scrape
Days Skied: 1 at Killington on early season ice, 6 at Sugarloaf in highly variable conditions
This is a very beefy ski, and not for the faint of heart. If you try to ski them from the backseat your day will be unpleasant, and it takes a bit of practice to get the hang of turn initiation here (perhaps owing to the blunt tip). On my first day of firm ice at Killington, I didn't really sort out comfortable turn initiation (esp. at low speed) until 2PM. I hypothesize that initiation difficulty is why these skis are famous for being returned/sold soon after purchase.
How they feel:
The short story here is that these skis dominated almost all the frontside conditions that showed up. This is perhaps the most powerful-feeling consumer ski I've ever been on. It feels suspiciously like a wider version of the Nordica Dobermann GS Pro; they're quick edge-to-edge for their width, damp and smooth at speed, and predictable through the turn. They're less playful than the FireArrow 74, but incredibly sure of themselves through crud and chop. The tips are very stiff both longitudinally and torsionally, and they bust crud like there's no tomorrow. They are stiffly cambered as well, and you can really feel them storing energy during flexion. They will skid more willingly than a true GS ski and penalize you less for loading the tails during late control and completion. But this ski's core DNA is pretty much just a widened beer league GS ripper and it is in general not forgiving.
My experience:
I rode them for a week of uncrowded, variable-conditions skiing at Sugarloaf, including (on different days): classic 'Loaf white ice, a rainy day, and a few inches of new snow. Perhaps owing to that rain, there was hardly anyone else on the mountain, so I had enough room to really let them rip. I am used to overpowering non-competition skis; I stand six foot six inches, 205 lbs in my stocking feet, and am composed mostly of leg and core muscle with a fairly aggressive race-background skiing style. But in six hard, fast days, I was unable to find their speed limit or give these planks more than they could handle. If you go looking for this ski's boundaries, you will end up sweaty, breathing very hard, and with sore quadricep muscles. I recommend the attempt very highly.
I have yet to see a mogul this season, so I can't shed light on their performance in the bumps. However, by extrapolating this ski's on piste performance, I can't imagine them being particularly friendly while bumping. A mogul run now and then might be doable but you might end up breathing hard.
My first complaint is that the turn radius might be a bit long for crowded East coast weekend days. To get these things out of the fall line while skiing a clean line, you need a lot of hill width. The 184 cm version has a 20 meter radius, which is pushing the limits of plausible for a Saturday at Hunter or Windham. And they're so longitudinally stiff that it's not easy to get a shorter-radius turn out of them. You need to lean them over really, really far in order to draw small C's.
Also the system binding is not going to win any awards, and its maximum DIN is 12. So if you're a big guy and you ski these the way they're meant to be skied, you might not get to keep your binding spring in the middle of its travel. Maybe next year they'll put a more race-flavored binding on.
Also, these are ungodly expensive. Don't pay full retail. Find them on the internet or buy some demos. I have a feeling the shop's demos get skied for one run and then brought back, so you could get a nearly-new set for pretty cheap.
All things considered, this is probably as close as I've ever seen to a flawless East Coast one-ski quiver for a strong skier. It shreds everything on the frontside, especially in crud and on the hard stuff. It's a blast. Truly disco sticks. But don't get carried away --- for real sheer blue ice you still need (at a minimum) a skinny beer league SL or cheater GS ski.

"Great location! Great house! Great holiday!"
We have just returned from a wonderful week staying at Casa T'isabel, at the top of fisherman's beach, the location was perfect for us. The house is very welcoming with a lovely Portuguese flair. It's lovely relaxing on the sun terrace with a glass of wine in the evening, enjoying a take-away meal cooked by the local restaurants. Everything you could want is so close by. The people are very chatty and friendly. You can sunbathe on the beach, browse around shops, have a meal and totally please yourself. We will certainly be returning soon.
