The answer was a big resounding "clichés be darned" and here we are now. I did decide to go against the norm a bit, however, and instead of one title like I normally review I'm doing a total of four books for this review. Each story in this is geared up towards an age group, or category, all perfect for cuddling up either solo or as a family.
I'm going to go in order from 'youngest' to 'oldest' in the reviews so that the family readers can avoid having to skim to the bottom.
The stories I have for you this evening are:
- Where the Wild Things Are - By the late Maurice Sendak
- How I met my Monster - By R. L. Stine
- Dead Boys - By Michael Penkas
- Infected: Click your Poison - By James Schannep
I know that most of you, if not all, have either read, been read to, or have read to Where the Wild Things Are at one time in your life. Perhaps it was, like me, 20+ years ago during one of my first trips to the library. I can remember cuddling up and being amazed at the world Sendak was able to create utilizing visuals and beautifully crafted words.
The story follows Max; a young boy who is obsessed with being a 'Wild Thing'. He even goes to the extreme of putting on his wolf pajamas and terrorizing his house, much to the dismay of his mother who sends him to bed without his supper after he screams that he will "Eat YOU UP" when she calls for him.
As Max grumbles and groans a forest grows in his room, and in moments he is sailing across the ocean in his own private boat. He sails and sails for years and years until he lands on an island, an island that is home to the real 'Wild Things".
Max's adventures on the island grow and grow until he finally realizes just what it means to be wild, and even being king isn't enough to make him want to stay. Much to the dismay of the Wild Things he sets off on the long journey home, and finding a surprise for him awaiting him in his room.
Sendak's tale of the Wild Things is a classic tale that really fits the season. Though it is about monsters, of one kind or another, its written in a light hearted safe way that kids of all ages can enjoy without worrying what could be hiding in the shadows when the lights go out.
Being that this is such a popular tale, and more than anything I'm wanting to reintroduce it and suggest it as a great Halloween story, I'm not going to mention pros or even give it a rating as I will with the stories down the line.
One thing I do need to note for those that may not know is that in addition to writing the story, Sendak also did the illustrations for it. There are few artists out there that can create ever memorable words, as well as illustrate masterfully.
If you'd like to get a copy of Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak click here.
I couldn't be more excited to be reviewing this next story. This author was actually my first thought when I had decided to break this post up by age groups, though I had no idea I would get the privilege to get his permission to review one of his works. While this author falls outside of the realm of my typical indie reviews, as did Sendak, his continued success over the past 20 years of scaring the pants off of young readers makes it an impossibility to talk about scary stories without his name coming up.
I remember opening up the first book in the ever eternal Goosebumps series when I was 8 years old. I had purchased it from our schools Scholastic book fair, and by the end of the week I was out of books from the library. I can even recall my first 'signed' letter from the R.L. Stine fan club after I became a member and began receiving books and a magazine monthly.
What I remember more than anything else is the sheer joy of hiding underneath my makeshift fort I had made out of bed sheets and a bottom bunk while I reread every story after I finished the newest edition.
I debated which story of his I wanted to do. I read the list of books and settled on The Haunted Mask. I read the back cover and prepared to dive back in to a story I had loved as a child, but hadn't read in 15 years. I stopped myself and rethought my plan.
As much as I wanted this post to reintroduce a classic Goosebumps story to the younger crowd; I also thought it would be fun to introduce myself to a new story. Something I could do an honest review on, as well as see how Stine has adapted himself to the younger generation. The result was discovering the newest edition to the series Goosebumps Most Wanted.
The concept is to take popular stories, characters and worlds from older stories and to give a new twist with a particular focus on classic villains. I was immediately drawn to the story How I met my Monster. It follows Noah Bienstock, or Bean to his friends, and his ever growing obsession with monsters. He sees them everywhere, not just in the nightmares he has every night.
His obsession grows and grows until it reaches a whole new level when he begins to suspect the new kid in class, who just happens to be his new best friend that lives in his building, of being a monster. He begins spying on Monroe, following him everywhere looking at every 'suspicious' thing he does.
The 'twist' at the end will seem familiar to anyone who has read The Girl who Cried Monster from the original series. If you haven't, I can say you will be pleasantly surprised.
I think the thing that surprised me most about this story was Stine's ability to adapt his writing over the years. Besides technological advances that separates the current generation from past, there are also differences in attitudes and priorities that are addressed making it a perfect fit for any school age child.
Due to the shear amount of pros for this story it was almost impossible for me to narrow down any pros at all, but I managed to pick three that I feel really stand out:
- Stine's evolution through the years really surprised me. I was expecting the stories to feel like they did when I read when I was young, but I was wrong. Instead it both feels familiar, but with a young feel that is a testament to the authors adaptability and connection with his audience, even when it changes generation to generation.
- There is a lighthearted humor to most of the books in the Goosebumps series' and it isn't lost on this one. At 29 I found myself chuckling at the one liners littered throughout the creepy tale.
- The story, while pulling from a classic Goosebumps world, is original. I expected it to feel very much like the original story from the original series, but instead it is a story that feels new and original.
Overall I'm going to give How I met your Monster by R. L. Stine a very solid 10/10 for both this Halloween or anytime.
I can't begin to thank R.L. Stine enough for allowing me the pleasure of reviewing one of his books for this special Halloween post. Getting to review a story for an author that you've idolized is a feeling that truly is the pinnacle of my short time writing.
If you would like to pick up a copy of How I met my Monster, or any other book, by R.L. Stine click here.
If you're like me you've read your share of spooky Halloween tales at night. Some of my favorites were always books that were compilations of ghost stories pitting unsuspecting mortals against terrifying paranormal villains; particularly when the ghosts psychologically torment their prey. Each time I would read a few of my favorites I can remember sitting awake staring at shadows in an almost comical display of true cowardice.
As I've gotten older, and I'm assuming this goes for most of us, the scare factor is kind of lost. Instead of watching shadows you're drifting off to sleep, content with what you read but just not scared.
The third story for my Halloween review is Dead Boys by Michael Penkas. Dead Boys is a compilation of 4 stories that attempts to bring back that hair-raised feeling you had when you were a kid. The stories inside aren't your typical ghost stories; each one has a twist that leaves you unnerved for different reasons.
The first story is titled The Parable of the Lazy Rooster and follows a priest drinking alone at a bar. While there he overhears a forlorn woman asking about a drink with particular properties, a drink that allows whoever consumes it to see things that no living person is able to see.
The priest discusses the drink with her, and her reasons for pursuing it. After informing her that he knows how to prepare the drink, he begins deliberating the consequences of making it for the young lady. What ensues leaves you with a chill that, while not innately scary, emanates through you. Particularly when the priest begins an inner monologue explaining the origins of the drink.
The second story in this list is a little more explicit so if you pick this title up and wanted to read it to the kids I would reconsider, at least for this particular tale. Cold Comfort follows a young female 'escort' called by a member of a clergy for a special 'job'. (Obviously at first this seems like it could be a less than clever stab at the classic corrupt clergymen but you find out quickly this is not even remotely the case).
The woman, while willing, is a little hesitant to be fully engaged in her duty. This hesitation, however, is quickly taken away by an almost too close encounter that those that are into extreme ghost stories such as American Horror Story will certainly flock to. I do have to caution again that there is an adult aspect to this so use discretion, but in the end this has become a favorite ghost story of mine and was my favorite so far, until I finished the next story that is.
Up next is a story titled Wet Dog Perfume which follows a lone man spending his night mourning the loss of his dog at the local dog park. It had only been a week and he isn't sure what to do with himself now that the long walks at the park are over.
As he sits and tries to cope, a young woman enters the park and takes a seat next to him. You immediately feel the quiet intensity she brings to the story as she begins to feed the pigeons in her own 'special' way. As the two silently watch the pigeons eat their unique meal the man starts to feel something about the girl, something that makes her even more unique than what she used to feed the pigeons.
This story is a little more unnerving than the first. Whereas the first story gives you a bit of an uneasy feeling from the content, and more towards the end, Penkas uses an environment and emotion to set the scene. As is the trend in all these stories, the twist ending really gives you that pins and needles sensation that we all long for this time of year.
Batting cleanup is Midnight Cappuccino. It's a story following Wendy Williams, a distraught mother who spends night after night in her comatose son's hotel room. It is a tale that is played over several times in which everyone around her tells her he is gone, yet something keeps her holding on hope that he will come back.
This particular night there is a new visitor to the hotel room, yet one that Wendy knows all to well. It isn't known whether he is a kindly visitor, or one that is here for his chance to deny the woman something she yearns for. Once the visitor has completed his plea he is gone, and Wendy is left to again make the decision whether to let her son go, or hold on to hope that he will awaken and she can once again hold her baby boy.
This compilation of tales is very well thought out and perfect for cozying up by the fire, and as such it was easy to find some pros for Dead Boys:
- Each story brings about an uneasiness that feels perfect for this time of year.
- Each story is very well written and is a page turner in itself. For me, in particular, I found myself going through the whole book in one sitting due to the ease in which it was written.
- Penkas does a wonderful job setting up thrilling settings with his words. Each story touches its own emotion in a short time, literally making you feel sickened, angry, happy, and sorrowful.
Overall I'm going to give Dead Boys by Michael Penkas a 9/10.
I have to thank Michael for reaching out to me and giving me the opportunity to read and review his stories. It was a real pleasure to get that uneasy, nervous feeling from a story in the way that Dead Boys delivers.

Lastly this evening I have something so unique I'm yet to read/see anything quite like it. It's entitles Infected: Click your Poison by James Schannep, and it is literally choose your own adventure type, or better yet a Give yourself Goosebumps for adults.
One thing to note is that Schannep designed the story to be compatible with ereaders, and I can vouch that it works like a charm. He advertises that it takes away the chance you see something on the next page that could be an ending that you spoil for yourself, and that fact really proves true early on.
If reading a story like this on an ereader doesn't strike your fancy, a print copy is available. After going through a storyline on my kindle, my wife jumped on Amazon and ordered herself a hard copy to have (she's like me and would rather read a physical book whenever possible).
The story behind Infected is Schannep's take on a zombie apocalypse caused by a corporations drive to create an immortality drug, one that succeeds in its own way. Each decision forces you from one extreme situation into another; some of these decisions are obvious landmines, while others seem to be the only possible good idea...and then you find out otherwise.
One of the, many, things that sets this apart is the lighthearted nature with which Schannep writes. Each page, and most of the decisions, are riddled with puns that should be dry and not funny, but yet the timing fits so well that I can guarantee you'll laugh at most of them.
Humor aside the writing is another thing that I would kick myself if I didn't mention. Besides being a creative comedian, Schannep is a wonderful writer. Each page, paragraph and word has been edited and belongs and feels as though you're reading your own novel that is about you.
Since there are so many options and so many outcomes its impossible for me to give a real synopsis of Infected. I can, however, give you my wife and my first attempt at going through the story together. We started out okay, and escaped certain doom a time or two making decisions together and for a moment it seemed as though we were going to survive...that is until our first real hiccup.
We were faced with one of the many decisions that seem like you can't go wrong, but after deliberating we could not agree to disagree so she made the decision for us. Next thing we knew we were zombie food and things were over, or at least we thought. It turns out death is not always the end, though through the excitement it quickly became ours.
I had trouble with this one, due to the uniqueness, in selecting some pros. I did narrow it down a bit, but there are so many more:
- The overall story lines, I can't tell you how many combinations you could hope to achieve, all work well with a very strong central story.
- I know I mentioned it already but the humor woven into the dire situation works on so many levels. While most of the jokes are puns, the timing is done like a true pro and they become a wonderful part.
- Schannep really is an author at the end of the day. The writing is spot on and you will find the adrenaline coursing through your veins as you make your decisions and turn the pages with both anxiety and excitement.
I mentioned above that my wife enjoyed this book on my Kindle so much she had me pick her up a hard copy, I asked her for a quote for my blog:
"Infected does a wonderful job of bringing back the Choose your own Adventure books you loved when you were a child. I laughed and cringed page after page and end after end."
- My wife, Ronda
Thank you so much to James Schannep for contacting me with the trailer, and for allowing me the pleasure of reviewing Infected: Click your Poison. For anyone interested here is a link to the trailer.
If you would like to pick up a copy for yourself click here.
*I didn't mention it above, and I wish I would have, but this book has been written as an adult adventure book and as such there is content that is a little more to the adult side. I suggest reading through before you let your teens try and survive the apocalypse.
Thank you for taking the time to read the Halloween edition of indiebookreviewer.blogspot.com. I hope that I either opened your eyes to a great story that you may have never heard of, and more than that I hope I gave you a great idea for a Halloween read, we sometimes take for granted sitting down with the family and reading a story together.
Have a very happy, and safe, Halloween.

Before we brought Joy to our home, I was a bit worried for her.
I mean, we live in boy world. The sound of falling picture frames and clashing foam noodle light sabers is the background music of my life. And I was a little concerned about how I would protect this sweet thing from these gas-passing, constantly wrestling, incessantly-discussing-the-size-and-shape-of-their-poo-and-other-unnamed-things delightful little boys.
And then I watched three boys fall in love in 5 seconds flat with the first child without a penis to ever reside in their home, and I realized that THIS girl — half by means of her affection and charm, half by way of her confidence and sheer toughness — can totally hold her own.
She melted these boys' hearts the first time she kissed them on the cheek (something that happens literally 20 to 30 times a day with this sweet girl in our home). Even Superhero 1, who scores exactly 0 on the physical touch category of the Five Love Languages test, has been opening his arms for the hugs that this affectionate angel offers at every turn. And Superheroes 2 and 3, whose love languages are BOTH MOST DEFINITELY physical touch, cannot get enough. It's been one massive hug-kiss-cuddle fest in this here house since Thursday. And as a toucher myself, three of the four of us are walking around on Cloud Nine with love tanks spilling over. (Superhero 1 will get there with a little homemade food to fill his love tank. ;))
She won their hearts with her lavish love and her adorable displays of affection.
But she won their RESPECT when she picked up her first light saber.
If you thought these boys were in love before …
This girl is TOUGH. The boys played gently with her … until she noticed and scolded them for not trying harder!
On the trampoline, she wanted to jump and wrestle just like the brothers, and in the tree house, she wanted to learn how to load and shoot her OWN Nerf bullets — without assistance from any know-it-all boys.
She fell over a few times in the yard and knocked up against a few heads on the trampoline, and only once did she even pause to pat her bright red, tender head.
(Dear Lord, I PROMISE I will keep this girl alive, but YOU have to promise to get her to stop gesturing to these boys to play harder! "Gentle" is not a word in the Cuthrell family vocabulary! And "that's weak" is NO JOKE in this family. She will surely perish. Thanks for your intervention, please and amen.)
It's Joy's perfect mix of toughness and spunkiness that has also allowed these boys to let her start bossing them around! They've turned from alpha males into stray puppies just following around a 7-year-old girl who tells them what she needs and what they're going to do, from brushing her hair (after Superhero 2 volunteered to spend an entire evening brushing Joy's hair and singing her lullabies the night before, this smart girl woke him up at 6 a.m. gesturing to her head and taking his hand and brushing it through her hair!) to eating her ice cream.
Even when they're full, this contagious smile means that these boys just can't tell her no. :)
And if cheek kissing, light saber battling, trampoline jumping and tree house playing didn't steal these Jedi warriors' hearts, this girl who lives in an orphanage and has likely never baked in her life jumped into the boys' passion — cooking — with the most adventurous spirit and the most irresistible giggles you have ever heard.
Food — both preparing it and eating it — is the love language of these boys. A girl who can hang for all three hours whipping up wheat pumpkin apple muffins for every teacher on our roster is one who turns heads in this house.
And let me tell you — she is turning heads EVERYWHERE.
This tough, confident, affectionate beauty is a GEM, and these boys are about 5 seconds and two cooking dates away from creating an application for any family who wants to call her theirs.
Better get in on the Joy action before you have three protective host brothers to screen your life history (and your light saber fighting ability). :) Because if you don't, you're going to have to present your adoption offers with prime rib, crab legs and artichokes, and believe me, bribing these boys with their favorite foods is NOT a cheap option. Get in while you still can. :)

Papyrus Collection research
The Greek and Latin Papyri collection at The John Rylands Library had been only partially studied and published.
This is one of the world's most important collections of papyri: containing items written in languages spoken in Egypt from the Pharaonic to the early Arabic period, and continuing today to influence perceptions of religious history through documents relating to activities of priests and scripts describing religious practices.
The Greek and Latin papyrus collection comprises about 700 published texts and over 1,300 unpublished fragments.
The published collection includes:
- Classical literature
- Biblical and early Christian writings
- Administrative documents of the Ptolemaic, Roman and Byzantine periods
- Everyday writings of people living in Egypt under the Ptolemaic and Roman Empires
The unpublished fragments, at the centre of on-going research, are mainly public and private documents dating from the Roman to the Byzantine period.
Current research projects
Dr Roberta Mazza is working on a project which aims to test new approaches to conservation, imaging and digitisation of the papyri, and to produce critical editions of a select number of the Greek 'additional' papyri. It is a pilot project for wider and longer-term research work on the manuscripts from Egypt that will also include the Coptic, Demotic and Arabic papyri.

Greatest Fitness Exercises
To be able to tone and get greater chest muscles, its essential to workout your muscle tissue in a approach that fits your ultimate goal. In addition they discovered that exercise improves that efficiency by modifying the areas of the mind where dopamine alerts are received — the substantia nigra and basal ganglia. Some folks might retain their bowling abilities or continue to participate in different ball games, and so may enjoy indoor carpet bowls or skittles.
Some models have a fixed primarily based and handles that assist you to exercise your arms, however I imagine it's extra helpful to exercise the completely different leg muscles as they're much larger than your arm muscle tissue. It's a good exercise for the higher physique, your core, and the cardiovascular system.
For those who were energetic during your being pregnant, it's easier to get again into exercise after your child is born. But when running isn't your favorite cardio activity, there are many other modes of exercise that can show you how to torch calories at a lightning fast rate. During some walks I cease to do strength exercises when my dog and I find a quiet spot.

Each the Nautilus Efficiency R618 Recumbent and U618 Upright exercise bikes are solidly built, permitting for a maximum higher person weight capability of as much as 325 lbs. The best and most rational option to relieve this sense is to really do some exercise.

ACAB- Street of Uptown
Drank in a pub on a Saturday night
Me and the boys were feelin` alright
Then we walked the streets feelin` loads of pride
Proud with our roots and our way of lives…
Stood some geezers tried to steal the night
Stared at us, tried to pick a fight
Me and the boys were waiting for the start
As we prepared for an aggro, oh! what a night….
That`s the story of how our lives go
We have been treated like a bunch of snucked up fools
Scorned by many, understood by few
There`s not much things left for us to do
Don`t wanna go back to dark days of mine
Where i`ve gone too far, i could`ve killed someone
But i don`t wanna sit down behaving like a cunt
While watching my mates doing the best they can
In the streets of uptown
Streets of uptown
It is our ups and our downs…..
And it goes around and around….
In the streets of uptown
Streets of uptown
It is our laugh and our tears
And it will last for years……

Christo and Jeanne-Claude
These two continually denied that their projects contained any deeper meaning than their immediate aesthetic. The purpose of their art was simply to create beauty and joy, and to allow us to see familiar landscapes in new ways.
I support this philosophy heavily. But of course you have to be very talented to succeed...Don't all go running at once, trying to create art for art's sake. But I think it's important to realize that not everything has to be over-conceptualized, and in many cases, just let it be- it is what it is.
If you've never seen Christo and Jeanne-Claude's sketches and drawings for/of their work, you're missing out...the Sydney Opera House, above, is just one example. In my opinion, their drawings are just as wonderful as the actual installations.
P.S. My mother worked on Running Fence while she was living in California in the 70's. Christo and Jeanne-Claude had to hire 9 lawyers in order to convince the 59 families of ranchers and authorities to let the work run through their properties, but they ended up paying a $60,000 fine because they lacked permission for the coastal region...
In loving memory of Jeanne-Claude who passed away on November 18, 2009

Atelier NL- Polderceramics
Here's the link, but I thought this was definitely worth a read:
"Artists have long explored the significance of 'place' – as a
site of history and identity; as a dynamic process in constant
flux; and as a politically charged way to both challenge and
contextualise the world. For Atelier NL, the Eindhoven-based
design studio of Lonny van Ryswyck and Nadine Sterk, the
place in question was the Noordoostpolder region of central
At the invitation of Jurgen Bey and Rianne Makkink the
designers took up residence in the area to better study the
social and agricultural nuances of the region. As the Noord-
oostpolder had been integral to the Dutch land reclamation
acts of the twentieth century, carried out in order to improve
flood protection and create additional land for agriculture,
the area is rich with both historical and geological disparity.
Atelier NL's Drawn From Clay series embodies all these
local distinctions as each piece was made from a specific
plod of soil taken from each of the different farms they
accessed across the 460 square kilometre polder. As Sterk
explains, 'A bucket filled with earth is anonymous, but the
stories of the farmer who works the earth lend it its identity.'
The overriding principal behind the series was to keep the
symbiosis between object and origin as pure and integral as
possible. 'We wanted to make tableware so that the vegeta-
bles prepared for dinner could be served from vessels made
from the same soil the vegetables came out of,' explains
Van Rijswijck. The designers simply refined then mixed each
individual batch of soil with water to form malleable clays,
before cast-moulding each piece at a consistent temperature
in order to compare and contrast the resultant differences
between colour and texture from the various soils. To further
the correlation Atelier NL both devised a systematic ratio
system for the size of each piece and stamped each vessel
with a geo-code reference to match the plot from whence
the soil came.
By rendering visible the close relationship between vegetation
and clay and, hence, between origin and identity, the Drawn
from Clay series emphasises Atelier NL's sensitive, respectful
and informed approach to design."

There is much to be said, in my humble opinion, in the pleasure of the first cup of tea, of the day. With the new job, I'm out and about much more than I was, and some days, you just don't make time to get a brew. Instead, it's more a quick cup of water, or swigging the diet soda I bought at lunch time.
Still, at least I'm up and about. I did read on the BBC News site, the amount of sitting down we do in our comfy office jobs. Much as I'm current sat down and staring at a screen right now, I'm not so screen focused as I once was, and that, for me, is a good thing.
So yes, between paragraphs, I'm enjoying the first cup of the day. Little pleasures eh? Oh, and I passed my two exams from last week. Reasons to be cheerful eh? :-)
|A few people were kind
enough to say nice things
about this dress. Woo!
Well.... not 100% prepared. Earlier in the week I bought a new nail varish (love it!) and two new lip pencils. I've had a problem with a stronger lippy colour bleeding a little (why so serious?), and this seems to be the answer. So, I read up on how to apply, did the deed and then when I came to put my Rimmel Apocalips on.... Oh, the 80s shame! The liner was a little darker than my lippy..... Bugger. Don't panic, Jones! Ah, a careful repeat application, blot and retry... and I was good to go. Phew, nearly stuck in a time warp there... :-)
Oh, the nail varnish? Boots No. 7 gel look finish. Wonderfully reflective and goes on well too. Thumbs up from me!
Community and Debate
Talking of make-up (see what I did there?), we had a visit from two (genetic) ladies, V & A. They wanted to do a bit of a sounding out exercise, to find out what our (trans) community would like from a web site they were planning. They're looking to put together a site that will have a forum, series of how to documents/videos and a directory of trans friendly businesses. People such as image consultants, make-up artists, maybe hair/wig-dressers and that type of thing.
Personally, I think it's a good thing they're looking into this. Yes, it's a crowded market, because lots of these services are available elsewhere and as Val put, not all of us are loaded. Yes, it takes you a while to work out your look and what works for you. Sadly, both of these don't always go hand in hand, and I'm sure we've all had a few *ahem* 'fashion moments', where we've looked back and thought, what was I thinking? I know I have, but that's all part of the learning curve, I feel.
I think the value lies in the quality of the videos/documents they put up, and their understanding that as people get more confident, so they will just go to a regular store. Pat added something along the lines, that you have to be careful not to add a mark-up to your products, just because of who you're selling too. A & V were keen to point out that they didn't want to do this and I pointed out that competing on price, given the power of high street shops and Internet shopping, is going to be very hard. Instead, offering very good information and a quality service, may be their strength over the competition.
At one part of the evening, I did have to summon my mum's Polite but Firm Teacher's Voice. You know the one... :-) V's brother-in-law, is on the cusp of starting to transition. V talked about 'him' and 'he' and her 'brother-in-law' and then the question came up - in innocence, I hope - asking was he comfortable being addressed as him? V answered politely that her brother-in-law hadn't started to transition and then matters began to slide.
Now, I can understand that when you transition, or when you're in 't-mode' (for us part timers), it's more polite to use the pronouns that match the person's presented gender. I know I sometimes get it wrong and I feel bad when I do. Hell, it's not like I don't know who's coming to the meetings and yet, once in a while, like with Jake, I mess up too. We're all human, I guess.... except during a full moon. :-)
It felt a little - as another member said - that some folk seemed to know what's best for V's brother-in-law, more than he did. Points such as, you don't just switch this on [sic], or 99% of cross-dressers don't go out and are in the closet. Umm? Evidence please? Steph politely pointed out that that may be down to personal experience and that everyone is different. Before we got into a debate about what-is-it-be-trans, I politely turned the group back to the discussion around the original debate. I think things went okay after that. I do know the presentation was quite long. But speaking personally, I was glad of the change and I think if they can help just one person, that's a good thing.
The evening came to a close and I was late setting off, as I waited while V & A packed up to go. In the end, I stayed with Pat, Val and a few others, as conversation blossomed again. This time around self-acceptance and learning to accept who you are. Sometimes, I think that the trans thing can lay us low, and yet, when you have talks with others - regular non-trans folk - who've also struggled along the way; that we're not that dissimilar, when you come down to it. We all have our doubts, not all of us fit in, and yet, with time and maybe a bit of help, we get along.
Take care,

I experimented with making MMF but I used regular sized marshmallows, the recipe called for mini ones, and microwaved it for 2 min stirring in between. It went very sticky and chewy and was almost impossible to get out of the bowl. Do I only do it until it melts or what? What is shortening and if it's an American thing, what is the UK alternative? Does anybody have a good MMF recipe? Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm 14 and self taught as all cake decorating courses require you to be over 18. Thanks
have you looked at cake shops offering classes? many of them do not have an age restriction, unlike college courses. also, have a look at your councils adult education, which can be flexible on ages too. in the mean time, this site, you tube, and the forum on www.bsguk.org wil be your best teachers!
as for shortening, its vegetable fat, called trex or white flora in the uk. as for making fondant - too much like messy unreliable hard work for me!
First of all, I admire your hard work in the kitchen.
This is my recipe I got from Mayen from Youtube.com
You will need:
1 pound of either miniature marshmallows or regular sized marshmallows.
2 pounds of confectioners sugar.
1/4 cup of shortening (but not necessary)
Lemon extract and butter extract (not necessary)
First, spray a large microwaveable bowl and utensils the vegetable oil spray.
In a your large sprayed bowl, pour 1 pound of marshmallows.
Add: 3 tablespoons of water.
Microwave 30 seconds and stir, 30 seconds and stir, 30 seconds and stir, 30 seconds and stir. Be careful to not over heat your marshmallows. It will be ruined!
Remember: You want the lumps to melt, but they will melt by stirring. You want the marshmallow soft and pourable. The trick here is to keep stirring.
If you have a kitchenaid mixer, spray it all down with vegetable oil spray. Add your marshmallow mixture.
Add confectioners sugar 1 - 2 cups at a time kneading with the dough hook.
At this point you can added the shortening or extract flavorings if desired. (I have only put suggestions as to flavorings, you can use any desired flavor. Some people use lemon juice. Experiment and see what you like)
Continue adding sugar 1-2 cups at a time, kneading through out.
When all of the sugar has been added, you will need to spray vegetable oil spray onto a counter, and possibly knead some more by hand.
Keep adding confectioners sugar a little at a time, until mmf is no longer sticky. (Pinch it and see if it sticks to your fingers.)
If you do not have a kitchen aid mixer, you will have to stir and knead the mmf by hand. Pour out about 4-5 cups of confectioners sugar onto a clean counter. Pour melted marshmallow mixture into a well (hole created in sugar) fold in the sugar from the sides and continue in this method until all the sugar is folded in. Continue to gently knead by hand.
*spray your mmf with vegetable oil spray, place it in a zipper lock bag and seal. mmf is best used if allowed to set at least 3 hours in refrigerator. Letting it set overnight in the fridge is better.
I hope this helps, any questions please feel free to pm me and I will try to help.
I know it looks difficult but it is not. I was afraid to work with and use this but it is almost as simple as playing with clay!
Good Luck!
I use the recipe, 16oz marshmallows (large pink and whites.. Omit pinks unless making pink/red) 2tbsp water and 2lbs sieves icing sugar. Melt marshmallows and water in microwave.. Just until they're melted don't burn them. Then start adding icing sugar to the bowl stirring it in until you can't anymore, then turn it onto the counter and knead in the rest. Grease everything with trex (in the butter aisle in any supermarket).. Grease hands, bowls, counter, utensils etc.. You might not need all the icing sugar. Once at the right consistency wrap it twice in greased cling film and leave it overnight.
My golf cake is iced in MMF. Feel free to ask questions!
Hello All -
Lots of good information here!
Just how essential is leaving it overnight. I am always running behind and need to cut corners when I can!

One of the key players in an industry with low margins and low global growth, NewMarket Corporation (NYSE:NEU) has done remarkably well increasing its revenue despite an uncertain economy. Recently, though, certain numbers from its first quarter earnings report have given investors cause to revisit their investment theories to see if NewMarket can continue its climb. While revenue from its primary division, Petroleum Additives, rose 2.8% to $574 million from $558 million, NewMarket posted a loss of nearly $10 million. Coming off such a strong 2013 for the company, the question that arises now is what happened in the first quarter, and should this be cause for concern going forward?
Current positioning
The end of 2013 seemed like another successful year for the specialty chemical company. Net income came to a total of $264.72 million, up from 2012's year-end of $239.53 million, and the operating profit from the petroleum additives segment increased nearly $3 million from 2012 to 2013. Products shipped in 2013 rose 3.7% from 2012 levels, and the operating profit margin for the lubricant and fuel additive product lines stayed relatively stable at 16.5%.
In the earnings call on April 24, CFO David Fiorenza attempted to shed a little light on the company's current position in 2014, and tried to address issues that might make investors skittish. Even accepting the amount from an interest rate swap that had gone against them and that Q1 of 2013 included revenues from the now-sold real estate operations from the building of NewMarket's new corporate headquarters, income from Q1 would have only been $58.9 million, or $4.54 per share.
The nearly $6.8 million difference was explained by management to be a combination of exchange rate loss, product mix, and income taxes as a result of R&D spending. In a global industry with four major players whose backers include oil companies and the power of the Buffett empire at Berkshire Hathaway, $6.8 million may not seem like much. However, it tells us significantly more about what is keeping management up at night, and what plans they have to keep their current winning streak alive.
Asia or bust...literally?
Newmarket explained that although a global business, it takes no steps to actively hedge against currency risk, reaping the rewards when it works in their favor and taking the losses when it moves against them. While there doesn't seem to be any threat to North America being NewMarket's primary market (accounting for 40% of revenue), the growth in demand for petroleum additives as well as NewMarket's continued expansion into Asia should at least begin to raise the question of whether management needs to revisit the issue.
NewMarket looks to be playing the long game to develop its brand in Asia, building a research and development plan in Japan in 2008, acquiring numerous facilities and customers through its 2010 acquisition of Polartech and a manufacturing facility in Singapore in 2010, and the building of a $100 million dollar manufacturing facility in Singapore already underway, estimated to be completed 2015.
While the last few years have shown this to be a positive move for NewMarket, should a company that is so heavily invested in building an international brand really have no strategy about how to deal with foreign exchange rates? Well, the numbers show that no, you don't necessarily need to have a strategy. In 2013, Newmarket Corp had the benefit of having the exchange rate work to its favor, reaping $5 million just from a favorable currency exchange. Over time, management believes this to level out and become a zero-sum, but it might be advantageous to begin revisiting those policies to see if it can mitigate how wildly that can throw off its quarterly earnings and allow investors to focus greater on the long-term picture.
Product mix
Management went on to explain that the petroleum additives industry, and the different products within its product offerings, are based on short-term demand and do not necessarily have a seasonal cycle. While this also explains the building of another manufacturing center in Singapore, it also means that the product demanded and sold in that quarter is often extremely different than the same quarter of the previous year. Mr. Fiorenza remarked on this, stating that, "you may have more demand for a product at one range of probability and less at the other end." Purchasers of petroleum additives, especially within lubrication and fuel additives, buy specific products for specific needs, only replacing them when they run out. Although its recent product mix has been weak, the nature of the industry means that there will be many more profitable purchases in the future, leaving NewMarket poised to deliver future gains through 2014 and into 2015 when customers finally need to reorder.
Income taxes
Finally, NewMarket cited tax issues regarding Research and Development. Referencing earlier earnings calls where they warned investors about this, NewMarket's research and development tax credits from the federal government were not renewed in time for the beginning of 2014 thanks in large part to the government shutdown at the end of 2013, leaving NewMarket to face a corporate tax rate of 31.4% as opposed to the 27.6% from Q1 2013. This change equates to roughly a $3 million impact against NewMarket and its taxable income. With the return to work for furloughed federal employees, this backlog will be reduced, and the ability of NewMarket to take advantage of the tax credits for the remainder of 2014 should be something that will be a key strength of this company and continue for years to come.
Final thoughts: everyone has bad days
NewMarket seems to be making the most of a tough industry. With projections that global demand will grow by only 1% to 2% a year, NewMarket continues to do well such as 6% shipment growth in Q1 2014 and 2.8% revenue growth average for its petroleum additives, even in a bad quarter. Although these margins are thin and growth seems slow, NewMarket continues to do well and is using its cash not only to develop new manufacturing facilities its target locations and demographics, but also to repurchase 232,000 shares for a rough total of $81 million. This clearly shows that NewMarket's management has a clear and realistic vision for the future and is willing to position themselves accordingly for the long haul.
NewMarket management seems to have a clear view of where they want to position themselves and are making moves to achieve that goal. Everyone is allowed to have a bad day every now and then, even corporations.

The goal of the new Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Mentor Network is to match mentors, both men and women, with girls and women who are interested in mathematics or are pursuing careers in mathematics. The network is intended to link mentors with a variety of groups: recent PhD's, graduate students, undergraduates, high school and grade school students, and teachers. Matching is based on common interests in careers in academics or industry, math education, balance of career and family, or general mathematical interests.
- Request a Mentor: Do you need some advice as you pursue your mathematical studies or career? Do you have questions for someone who has experience and expertise as a mathematician? Then request to be matched with a mentor from the AWM Mentor Network!
You must read these guidelines before requesting a mentor. - Suggested Guidelines for Mentees
- Be a Mentor: Volunteer to mentor someone in their pursuit of their mathematical interests or to help the AWM Mentor Network in other ways. As a mentor you don't have to have all of the answers, but you can help to make the connection to someone or someplace that does!
Suggested Guidelines for Mentors
We strongly encourage mentors, mentees, and their institutions to join AWM so that they can stay informed on opportunities and resources available through the AWM.
For more information contact a member of the AWM Mentor Network Committee or send an email to email@example.com.

Miniaturizing an aerial image can be an easy and powerful process. By reducing the depth of field, an image taken from an elevated view can be transformed. If you have Photoshop, it's pretty easy:
-Select the area that you want to remain in focus.
-Feather the selection. The higher the resolution of your image, the more feathering required.
-Inverse the selection.
-Apply a blurring filter such as the Gaussian blur. Experiment with the amounts
There are other photo editing applications out there that offer "lens blurring" effects that make this an even easier task to accomplish. I typically use ON1 Photo10 or (if on my smart phone) Snapseed.

I've read that kreplach is a symbolic new year food in some Jewish communities, because the filling is sealed in the noodle like judgement is sealed in the Book of Life on Yom Kippur.

A restaurant on wheels is always a fun prospect to eat from. Of course extremely popular in the West, one does not see too many in India owing to licenses and permission problems, yet, thankfully, a few are mushrooming all over India. Delhi and NCR seem to be leading the way. I was lucky to sample the food from Kobri, a food truck parked at The Heritage Transport Museum, one afternoon, courtesy, Le Meridien Gurgaon.
The menu for the day was on the blackboard outside the truck and the chefs lead by Rajneesh Kumar, Head Chef, Flavour Labs, were chopping, mixing, preparing, frying at a frenetic pace. The excitement as building. South Indian fusion food is Kobri's speciality. After all, Kobri means coconut in Kannada.
This unique food truck is part of a hospitality setup called Flavour Labs and was conceptualised in 2013 during the Stanford Business School's Ignite program in Bangalore. Launched in October 2014, Kobri is based in Gurgaon and mostly caters to the larger NCR region, Rohan Rajgarhia, one of the partners informed me.
The founding team comprises of entrepreneurial professionals with a passion for incredible food experiences, who have backgrounds in hotels & hospitality, healthcare, corporate strategy, analytics, customer service; and academic/professional affiliations with Stanford, Cambridge, Harvard and IIT.
South Indian food is something most of us enjoy, but the fusion bit was the intriguing part. Spinach and mushroom in a white wine cream sauce topped with cheese and chilly flakes was what I settled for, in a wrap. I had made a good choice. The wrap was crisp and the filling generous. The medley of spinach and mushrooms was flavorsome and the white wine cream sauce, laced with cheese gave it a smooth texture, which led to a burst of flavours in my mouth. It was sumptuous, the veggies crunchy and affordably priced. All the prerequisites to make it work for office goers looking for a quick, filling and healthy lunch. Aaiyyo! Delectable stuff.
The spiced mutton kababs served with salad greens and an apple and olive salsa were equally unique and interesting. However, I preferred them on idlis rather than in the wrap form.
Other options include Paneer with assorted peppers in a mild chettinad sauce and topped with salad greens, Crispy fish on a bed of beetroot and turnip roulade, served with in-house tartar sauce and fresh greens. I like the twist Chef Rajneesh has given to the dishes. The flavours are contemporary and global, appealing to all taste buds. Yet, if one is craving for a South Indian meal, these, satiate that urge too. The idli subs I thought were cute and yet, filling. With offerings ranging from Rs 140-180, food is an absolute steal.
Apparently they have another truck called Hoppers that offers healthy comfort food. I can't wait to try that on my next visit to Delhi and NCR. Alas! we need a Kobri in Mumbai too!
