Operation 2001/365 is still in effect. Only this time LC has logged in first and I have to do a rebuttal. First off LC, Congratultions on qualifying for the Boston marathon. That takes a lot of dedication and a lot of hard work. The offer is still on the table if you decide to run, You can borrow my N Y yankees shirt.The crowd around Fenway Park will love it. I can almost assure you will have a fast time wearing it. I have to admit LC has me on mileage, I have 545 at the 90 day mark, But my objective is to finish the year with excatly 2011 miles.

I know I've been painfully inactive since the beginning of November, and the reason is that on the 10th of November, we have a house fire in our flat. No one were hurt, the fire didn't spread to any other flats and we have insurance which has covered most of our losses. However, we no longer have a home, and most of our belongings have been damaged beyond repair by smoke, heat or flames.
We are currently living with some friends, who have been kind enough to let us rent their guest room until we find a new place to live. We managed to save some of our belongings, including my husbands wedding clothes (barring the shirt, which was simply too sooty and stained to save) and, hopefully, my wedding dress, although we've been told it has gotten some discolouration which could not be removed in the cleaning process. I managed to rescue out most of my Tauriel cosplay, and Kili's tunic and trousers have come through whole, but I have yet to find out if all the leather work has made it through. My viking gear and some of my linen dresses have also been saved, so have some of my recent self made clothes. The rest had to be thrown. All my other cosplays are gone, and my 12 year old, reliable sewing machine also corked it. And on top of it all, I went down with bronchitis and then sinusitis, knocking me out for almost six weeks. After two rounds of antibiotics and now working through my third, I'm slowly getting back to health.
In spite of this, we are trying our best to look forward and focus on the positives rather than dwelling on what has past. This certainly has give us a kick in the butt to go looking for a place to buy, and with a very generously low rent on our friends' guest room, we have the opportunity to save a lot more than we normally would have been able to. Most importantly, we have gotten tremendous and overwhelming support from both family and friends, so, all in all, we consider ourselves lucky. We've taken a big blow, but we're still standing.
On a positive note, the insurance money have granted my a new, updated sewing machine, this time with a gorgeous embroidery module and lots of exciting functions I have yet to try out! So, I'm getting back on the costuming horse too, slowly but surely!

Our women's refuges help people like Rebecca* work through the myriad of emotions and provide tools to make critical decisions about the next stage of their life.
"I have a long journey ahead of me but with the programs, workshops, and one-on-one time with my support worker, I feel there's light at the end of the tunnel. Ozcare has helped me realise that the way my ex-partner treated me was not okay and was not normal. They made me feel accepted and understood.
For the first time I have goals and I can see that I can achieve them and that was something that I didn't ever see before.
I know now that no woman deserves to be treated badly and that there is a better life. If I knew that there was this type of support offered I think it would have helped me to leave a long time ago."

Teacher: Tim Sutherland
Radiata pine, 4mm hoop pine plywood
1500mm x 1570mm x 2100mm
The rocking bed was completed for 2014 HSC Design and Technology course. There were many design problems to overcome in its production. How to make the circular legs? How to make the bedheads? How to make it be able to be dismantled and reassemble for transport? The circular ellipse legs had many prototypes before full size mould was made. There are made in quarters. Each quarter has nine laminated layers of radiata pine, glued with PVA. Each quarter was then dressed, and joined using XL 700 Festool Domino machine using 2 x 140mm dominos. Bed heads were made making a mould out of blue modelling foam and shaped. A vacuum bag was used to bend and laminate 4 x layers of 4mm plywood using cross-linking PVA for the bedheads.

BPB practice advice 15-001 July 2015 (updated from December 2011)
Note to readers: practice advice relates to the legislation in force at the time, which may since have been amended. Also, names of organisations and weblinks were correct at time of writing and may have since changed.
The Building Professionals Board supports the high standards councils set when drafting subdivision development control plans and conditions of development consent.
However, some councils, through the wording of consent conditions, may inadvertently limit the design and certification of subdivision works to be undertaken only by a 'professional engineer'. This excludes a wider cohort of professionals who are qualified, and recognised as such, to undertake this work.
For example, the Board of Spatial and Surveying Information (BOSSI) advises that many registered land surveyors are appropriately qualified and experienced to design and certify subdivision works. BOSSI's requirements for registration, besides specif ic university qualifications, include assessments in urban cadastre, rural cadastre, strata and community titles, engineering and town planning.
Councils are encouraged to enable subdivision engineering design to be carried out by qualified engineers or registered land surveyors. Both types of professionals may be involved in a subdivision depending on the nature of the work.
Principal certifying authorities maintain their duty of care to validate the competence of engineers and surveyors who provide design and certification services.

- 3 lb. Buffalo Roast
- 3 each Dried Chipotle Peppers
- 4 cloves of Roasted Garlic
- 2 lb. each Onions, Carrots, Celery
- 2 cups Brandy
- 3 cups water to dilute the Beef Base
- 4-5 oz Beef Base
- White Pepper and Salt
- Place the buffalo roast in a roasting pan on top of all the vegetables listed above, except the chipotles and garlic, add the diluted beef base to the roasting pan; place this into a preheated 240 F oven and allow to roast for 2 1/2 hours or until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 125 F. Remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to rest, take the roasting pan and strain off the juice, place the juice in a sauce pot and add the roasted garlic, chipotle peppers, and brandy. Be careful here and flame off the brandy. Allow the pot to simmer (do not break up or chop the chipotles unless you like it REAL hot) at this point allow the sauce to reduce by 1/3, then strain it carefully, carefully removing all the garlic and the chipotle peppers so you have just a light sauce similar to Au Jus. Finish it off with a little salt and white pepper as needed and serve with the buffalo roast and vegetables.

Mornin', all! How are you doing? What's your plan for this fine Thur.?
I am up way too early. Today's the last day of regular class for me, then finals, then winter break. I woke up with a jolt at about 4:30 this morning, after a fair amount of tossing and turning. I don't know if it's the "end of term" jitters or the pizza we had for dinner last night.
Anyway, I'm up with the cats, drinking coffee, and watching Grey's Anatomy. How about you?

NEW YORK — The fact that Luke Bryan's first headlining concert at Madison Square Garden on Saturday (Jan. 25) sold out in five minutes and a second MSG appearance swiftly added for Sept. 12 was put on sale nine months in advance — and sold out at a similar speed — is a dramatic example of his superstar status solidifying before your eyes.
A subtler but more visceral indication could be seen even before the start of Bryan's show with opening act Lee Brice. A runway led from the main stage to a huge, circular riser obviously intended for Bryan to bound around, and low flames could be seen just beginning to rise portentously up all along the perimeter. You don't generally see that sort of pyrotechnic power at a state fair.
In due course, the giant screen above the stage was filled with the match-striking, flaming-arrow-shooting intro to the video for "That's My Kind of Night," from the singer's latest platinum-selling album, Crash My Party, and the flames around the riser shot high in the air to form a fiery circle.
At the center was Bryan, perched atop a shiny black pickup truck. Clad in boots, black shirt, ball cap and form-fitting jeans, he began belting out the aforementioned No. 1 single that gives his current tour its name. Bryan's tight-panted gyrations were an instant hit with the female portion of the crowd from teenage girls to their moms.
Racing back to the main stage, the genial Georgia boy strapped on an acoustic guitar as a huge drumbeat introduced his first-ever No. 1 hit, the 2010 single "Rain Is a Good Thing." After bringing the tempo down a bit for the Tailgates & Tanlines hit "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye," he shifted gears with his very first single, 2007's rowdy, gold-selling barroom rocker "All My Friends Say." He kept the rootsy vibe going by leaping straight into the Southern fried "Country Man," another hit from his debut album, I'll Stay Me.
Following the throbbing, midtempo slice of passionate paranoia that is his 2010 No. 1 "Someone Else Calling You Baby," Bryan proudly predicted, "We're gonna break all the beer sales records on the island tonight!" Meanwhile, the truck had been dutifully replaced by a piano, and Bryan sat down to pick out the gentle opening chords of his romantically yearning "Do I," a platinum single from 2009.
Jumping back into the present, he tore into "Play It Again," a tune with an urban-tinged groove, introducing it as his next single. Next, the moody, minor-key "Muckalee Creek Water" filled the midtown arena with a murky atmosphere as thick as the song's Georgia swamp setting as the hard-rocking stomp culminated in a wailing guitar solo at the tune's coda.
When Bryan trotted back out to the riser, an outsized beer cooler stood in the piano's place, providing the perfect prop for the sand-speckled, good-time feel of "Suntan City" as the singer passed cans out to the crowd. The beer-buddy vibe continued with "If You Ain't Here to Party" as Bryan's earlier prediction about suds sales started to seem like a surer bet by the minute.
Highlighting his soft spot for hip-hop, Bryan flipped the script for his take on rapper Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' huge 2011 tune "Can't Hold Us," letting loose with a tricky-tongued rap atop a pounding dance beat. "Holy s**t, that was hard, New York," he confessed afterwards, adding, "Now this one's easy" as he led the audience into a singalong chorus to kick off his platinum-plated "Crash My Party," an unconditional offer of emotional availability guaranteed to get the girls swooning.
Another set change on the riser soon found Bryan sitting on a wooden pier for the "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay"-style sunset solitude of "Drink a Beer." Two No. 1 singles from Tailgates & Tanlines closed the set — the slowly-surging power ballad "Drunk on You" and the punchier "I Don't Want This Night to End," with vocal effects adding a little R&B remix flavor to the latter. The heavy guitar crunch of "The Only Way I Know," the Jason Aldean hit on which Bryan and Eric Church guested, fueled the first salvo of the encore. (No, there were no surprise guest appearances.)
Naturally, the crowd would have camped out at MSG overnight until they heard "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)," the 2011 tune that shot Bryan's career into the stratosphere. Fortunately, that possibility wasn't put to the test as the song began booming across the Garden. When Bryan issued the title's invitation, every girl in the audience, whether country or city, seemed eager to oblige, and the singer responded in kind, as searing lead guitar licks crackled behind him.
But at the close of the show, as if to prove he was there for the more masculine end of the audience, too, Bryan brought up an ambitious gent from the crowd to boogie with him on the riser before finally bidding his fans goodbye by shouting (with perhaps a hint of hard-earned triumph), "See you in September!"

Nassfeld lies in the heart of the Gailtal Valley, an region in the south of Carinthia with a long and proud tradition of excellent food. Two delicacies visitors should definitely try are the Gailtaler Speck (dried bacon) and the Gailtaler Almkäse (cheese).
Nassfeld's location on the border to Italy means that its local cuisine is a fascinating fusion of Austrian dishes (for example, "Kasnudeln" from Carinthia) and Italian specialties.
Local chefs tell our guests the secrets of the regional art of cooking already during the ascent on the Millennium Express. What will be cooked? That remains a secret for now! Should your energy levels decrease and the thirst increase in the afternoon then is the way from carving

"The combination of skiing in Austria in the morning and stopping for lunch in Italy is great!"
This "being at home" between the Alps and Adriatic Sea can also be felt and tasted in the Gailtal Valley. Sissy Sonnleitner, for example, is one of Carinthia's best chefs and is renowned for her culinary balancing act, drawing skilfully on the unlimited resources of the local food basket the border triangle region has to offer. The region's abundance is also highlighted by the Biedermeier Schlössl Lerchenhof which invites to specialities like hay or vine bacon. Up to 40 different types of Carinthian pasta can be enjoyed at the Grünwald Inn. Hermagor is delighted to welcome an extraordinary culinary newcomer. Manuel Ressi, one of Austria's best chefs, surprises with a skilful combination of tradition and innovation at the Bärenwirt Inn. Regional products as souvenir? No problem!

Brooklyn's artsy, homespun vibe is the perfect backdrop for an amazing breakfast or brunch. Whichever neighborhood you choose, you'll find the loving warmth of fresh-baked biscuits, over-easy eggs and farm-fresh vegetables to cure all ails.
By Jenny Adams
WILLIAMSBURG | Lighthouse
Just try to find another place that will at once satiate your desire for Mexican chilaquiles and your buddy's craving for Israeli shakshuka. Owned by a brother/sister duo from Israel, Lighthouse features giant windows overlooking a busy Brooklyn thoroughfare. Inside, there's the warmth of food with true soul. The Everything Burger—with bacon brioche, pickled tomatoes, Benedictine, fried leeks and an optional fried egg—is a top order. But the shakshuka sets this spot apart: It's a nod to the owners' heritage with poached eggs swimming in a thick guajillo tomato chili stew, served with toast, tahini and spicy harissa. The creative bar does morning duty: Order The Highlander (Scotch, Galliano Ristretto Irish cream, coffee and cream) and re-buzz to the fullest of definitions. 145 Borinquen Pl., lighthousebk.com
CARROLL GARDENS | Seersucker
Owner/chef Robert Newton will likely leave the kitchen at some point to wander through the restaurant and shake hands with diners; he's known as much for his hospitality as his Arkansas family recipes. His Biscuit Box, a stack of fluffy, fresh-from-the-oven goodness, arrives with tiny jars of seasonal jams and salted molasses butter. The classic fried chicken is legendary, and you can't go wrong tacking on sides like the collards with country ham potlicker, stone ground cheddar-chive cheese grits or the Berkshire pork sausage. Newton's approach to Southern food also hinges on celebrating fresh vegetables at every part of the day, sourcing what's in season from the Carroll Street Greenmarket nearby. 329 Smith St., seersuckerbrooklyn.com
RED HOOK | Fort Defiance
The greatest thing about Fort Defiance is the fact that it can cure a hangover with high-end craft cocktails; the funky New Orleans-meets-old-Paris décor doesn't hurt, either. Top those two selling points with a killer brunch that includes house-made corned beef hash; crispy, salty hashbrown potatoes; and the option of a warm and homey Dutch pancake with crème fraîche, fruit and maple syrup served properly in a hot skillet. You can sip a perfectly balanced Manhattan, gazing over one of Brooklyn's most picturesque waterfronts while digging into an omelet. How many places can boast that combo? 365 Van Brunt St., fortdefiancebrooklyn.com
LATE-NIGHT NOSH: There are literally hundreds of places to dine late in the city that never sleeps. Williamsburg newcomer Extra Fancy (302 Metropolitan Ave., extrafancybklyn.com) pokes a bit of fun with the name, which actually came from a seafood condiment bottle. The menu is fresh fish tons of ways: Feel like a dozen oysters, a surf 'n' turf of diver scallops and pork belly, or a bowl of littleneck clam chowder at 2 a.m.? No problem; they serve it all till 3.

At last night's MTV Movie Awards, Robert Pattinson presented his Water for Elephants co-star Reese Witherspoon with the Generation Award. He introduced her by saying she was "33 percent lesbian." After the show, Reese told MTV News how she felt about it.
When asked by MTV what a more accurate percentage would be, she said "At least 55 [percent]. I mean, what? Not enough."
Just to be accurate, we should probably help Reese figure out her true percentage of lesbianism. All we have to base it on is the following:
1. Lesbian rumors.
Reese has been rumored to have a relationship with a female assistant of hers, as well as Christina Ricci, her co-star in the film Penelope.
2. Lesbian sports.
Reese plays softball.
3. Lesbian kisses.
Reese made out with Brittany Murphy in Freeway. And while she didn't partake in the girl-on-girl, she was in Cruel Intentions, which is worth mentioning. Also, she starred in Election, which had a lesbian character.
But now we must factor in the following: She's married, with kids, and has not publicly announced a girl crush. Admittedly, I'm not that fabulous at doing math, but I do believe this computes to about 33 percent lesbian, and therefore, Robert is correct. Sorry, Reese — you'll have to work a little harder to reach that 55 you aim for!
Now, Robert, can you please give us an indication of how lesbian Kristen Stewart is? You appear to be an expert.

Volume 1
Chapter 94: Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (IV)
Compared to the peak of the fourth step, the fifth step was fundamentally different! If not for the fact that he had used so many formidable abilities, and relied on his innate talents enabling him to naturally exceed ordinary knights' speed, intuition, and his tyrannical Retribution Knight abilities, there was no way he could have won this. Surprisingly though, as he was defeating his opponent, he had made sure not to injure him.
"I lost. I actually lost?" Knight #4 dazedly sat on the ground, his face ashen. Even as an Earth Knight, he hadn't been able to enter into the top ten of this Demon Hunt Selection. Consequently, he couldn't become a genuine member of a Demon Hunt Squad. He had already reached the maximum age eligible for this Demon Hunt Selection, and could no longer participate in another. In an instant, this defeat had completely removed him from becoming one of the Knight Temple's core members.
When Long Hao Chen heard the words "I lost", he had already put away his two swords and silently walked over to pick up the Radiant Light Shield at the edge of the arena. Although he had won this battle, he had not won easily. The pressure which was brought upon him by Knight #4 was enormous.
"No——, I can't accept this and I won't accept this!" Knight #4 suddenly leapt up from the ground, his eyes red as he looked towards Long Hao Chen. "I haven't even summoned my mount, nor am I fully armored. I have a set of Spiritual Tier armor. How then could you even be my opponent? How? Referee, I don't accept this. I want to have a rematch."
The referee coldly looked at him and stood between him and Long Hao Chen, saying indifferently: "You've lost."
Knight #4 desperately said: "I haven't lost. How could I have lost to a brat of the fourth step?"
An aged voice rang out from the platform, full of anger, "I ask you, what are the Ten Standards of a Knight?"
Knight #4 looked blanky. These rules were something every knight had to learn since a young age, and he almost subconsciously answered: "Modesty, honesty, compassion, courage, fairness, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, humility, justice."
That aged voice said in a low voice: "Then where is your humility and honesty? Rather than saying you lost to #97, instead you should say that you've lost to yourself. Not even armoring yourself or summoning your mount was your own decision. You can't even comply with the two most basic standards of a knight. Your nature isn't even fit for a knight. Come, throw him out and expel him from the Knight Temple."
Knight #4 shook violently and his face turned deathly white in an instant. What did expulsion from the Knight Temple mean? It meant that a person was no longer a member of the Knight Temple. At the same time, Knight #4 also knew who this aged voice belonged to. Even the three highest ranked elders of the Knight Temple had to express the utmost courtesy when facing this person.
A thudding noise rang out as Knight #4 knelt onto the ground. Facing the platform, he said in a trembling voice: "Senior Saint Knight, I've done wrong. I know the wrongs I have committed. Please give me another chance. I dare not make the same mistake ."
The Chief Saint Knight's voice slowly sounded: "That you can become an Earth Knight before 25 years of age, it is evident that your innate talent is extremely good. However, you should also know that what our Knight's Temple emphasizes is not level but character. As a chief member of the six Great Temples, if any core knight of a Demon Hunt Squad cannot comply with the Ten Standards of a Knight, he can only bring shame to the honor of the Knight's Temple. Tell me, what is honor?"
All the knights of the stadium stood in one body and shouted in unison: "Honor is life."
The Saint Knight Head calmly said: "#4, you have now heard. Honor is life. Do you still possess the honor of a knight?"
Knight #4 trembled violently. But even as he knelt there, he couldn't utter a single word. He could tell that the Senior Saint Knight's temper had already been ignited.
"Senior Saint Knight." Right at this moment, a clear voice sounded out. Everyone's line of sight couldn't help but turn.
The one who spoke was precisely Long Hao Chen. He fisted his right hand and placed it over his left breast, respectfully giving a Knight's salute in the direction of the platform.
"Speak." The Saint Knight Head's voice was clearly gentler and didn't at all conceal the fondness he had towards Long Hao Chen.
Long Hao Chen glanced at Knight #4 who was still kneeling on the ground beside him, then respectfully said: "Saint Knight Head, when I was very young, my mother told me: no one is perfect. Knight #4's mind is only a bit unstable right now because of this defeat. His arrogance was indeed a mistake. However, that his life must completely change just because of this matter, I think it is a bit unfair. Development of character and maturation are interlinked, and he cannot totally be blamed. Please give him another chance. After learning from this matter, I believe that he will correct himself."
Hearing Long Hao Chen's words, Knight #4 raised his head and looked towards him, stunned. His eyes even possessed a peculiar light.
The platform suddenly went silent, and all the spectators also paid attention to the platform. After all, a genius like Knight #4 who had broken through to the fifth step before 25 years old was also extremely rare within the Knight's Temple.
Only after a while did the Senior Saint Knight let out a sigh from the platform. "Alright. Because you've requested it, I will give him a chance. Listen closely, #4. If you wish to continue staying in the Knight's Temple, then from this point on, you are #97's retainer knight. If you can carry this duty until the start of the next Demon Hunt Selection, then I will permit you to return to the Knight's Temple.
#4 first stared blankly, then rejoiced at this good news, "Many thanks to the Senior Saint Knight for giving me another chance." After saying so, he stood up and turned towards Long Hao Chen. After a momentary struggle flashed through his eyes, a thud was heard as he knelt on one knee before Long Hao Chen, "Master, I, Han Yu will obey your commands. I still do not know your name."
Long Hao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Th-this……"
"His name is Long Hao Chen." A cold voice sounded from the resting area. Long Hao Chen turned to look, and the voice that spoke belonged precisely to Teacher Ye Hua.
Han Yu respectfully said:,"God of Light above, I, Han Yu, will henceforth serve Long Hao Chen as my master for five years. My master's honor is my honor. If I break this oath, then may the gods punish me."
Long Hao Chen was ever level-headed in battle, but he was, after all, only fourteen years old. Under these circumstances he immediately became flustered and hastily said: "Quickly get up." Saying so, he held out an arm to pull Han Yu up.
Han Yu respectfully said: "Master, I still have some affairs to take care of at home. I will return now to manage them, then return tomorrow to look for Master. From this day forward, I vow to follow you."
After the previous setback, there was no longer any evidence of pride on his face. Although his eyes still gave hint of unreconciliation, after thinking about almost getting expelled out of the Knight's Temple, he finally overcame his reluctance and turned to leave after saluting Long Hao Chen. Although he was conceited, he was highly ambitious. Once he was expelled from the Knight's Temple, how could he ever achieve his aspirations?
Although Long Hao Chen couldn't clearly make sense of the situation, there had to be a reason why Ye Hua would let him accept. After covering himself with [Holy Mantle] he returned to the resting area.
"Lil' Bro, you're so awesome." Li Xin immediately rushed over and gave him a big hug. As for the other knight participants, when they looked at Long Hao Chen, their expressions all revealed a bit of fear.
Within these one-on-one matches, retribution knights were clearly superior to guardian knights. Although Han Yu had ultimately lost because of his pride, do not forget, Long Hao Chen's last stream of offensive skills hadn't even given him a chance to react. Was this something an ordinary retribution knight could achieve? That instant, exploding force, especially that final combination of skills paired with [Holy Sword], was the real reason for Long Hao Chen's victory. Even a fifth step knight couldn't block his attack!

by Davidson King
Genre: M/M Romantic Suspense
Release Date: November 28, 2017
After running from a past destined to kill him, Snow has been hiding on the streets.
Tell nobody your name.
Tell nobody your secrets.
Trust nobody!
These are the rules of the streets.
His entire life changes when he saves an eight-year-old boy from a violent end.
Christopher Manos is one of the most powerful crime bosses in the country.
Don't ask anyone to do something you aren't willing to do yourself.
Secrets can get you killed.
Trust nobody!
These are the rules he lives by.
When his eight-year-old nephew disappears, he never expects the boy's savior to end up being his own.
A man with a dangerous past and a man with a dangerous future find love amidst murder and mayhem. But with Snow's life being threatened at every turn, will Christopher's best be enough to prevent Snow Falling?
In Snow Falling, we have Snow, who is basically a homeless street rat who happened to rescue the mafia boss, Christopher Manos' nephew. The story was told in a way that we get to see a lot of action and plot progression, but we didn't get to delve much into the characters background. For example, I didn't get to know how Snow survive on the street, what did he do to survive? Chris seems to be a formidable figure, but I don't know what kind of criminal activities does he involve in.
The part that I enjoy is seeing all the little quirks of Snow, someone who have a photographic memory and his relationship with Chris. Snow tried his hardest to hide his true identity, but I wonder why did he feel so free to show Chris his hidden talent. When his past caught up with him, he might have to come clean with Chris and hope for the best. When Snow decided to confront his demon, there was quite a suspense with how things will go down, especially with Chris working from a different angle. Overall, it was an okay read for a debut novel, I get the chemistry, but still lack the emotional connection towards the character.
"Why do you want to know my real name? It's a name that no longer matters. The day my feet hit the pavement, I was no longer that guy." I hated that this subject kept coming up.
"I will find out. I have to."
This was so frustrating. "Why? Why's it matter?"
"In my line of work, I need to know everything. The more I know, the easier it is to keep my people, my family, and myself safe."
"I'm not a threat, but if you feel I am, then let me go. I never asked to be here, you haven't given me a choice. I've been tossed plenty of times and each time, I land on my feet." It was a challenge. A part of me wanted him to let me go so I could sever ties and have the choice taken from me. Another part wanted him to beg me to stay. That need to feel wanted and needed was quickly becoming a problem.
"You're not a prisoner here. But you and I both know you don't want to leave, so let's not do this song and dance." Christopher approached me. "You said your mother was a nurse. Did you realize you told me?"
"I knew." Being in a daze never made me unaware. Being unaware was deadly. "It was harmless knowledge. There are millions of nurses all over the world."
"My mother was a model. It's how my father met her. They were together from the first day they laid eyes on each other. She passed when I was ten but I remember something she told me once." He shifted his feet, the show of uncertainty making him seem vulnerable. I wondered if many people got to see this side of him. Was I special?
"What did she tell you?"
"It sounds silly now that I think about it, but in your case, it's true." His eyes bored into mine. "We are like a glass. You can have a glass for years, decades even. It will serve its purpose, being filled and drained over and over. Then one day, someone will come along and be a little too hard on it and a tiny crack will form. That fissure will weaken the glass. Every bump and bang. Every mouth that touches it or hand that grips it will contribute to its inevitable shatter." He stepped closer. "But in its time, it will serve its purpose and when it's a million pieces of glass, someone will come along and pick it up. They will decide if it should be thrown away or if it's worth saving." A tiny smile played on his beautiful lips. "You're cracked a bit. You feel weakened, but Snow, I think even if you had a million cracks or were a pile of shattered pieces on the floor, you'd be worth saving."
"Or I'd be trash." I got what Christopher was saying and it was poetic and poignant, but it wasn't me. "I've been called trash plenty of times. No one looked at my imperfections and thought I was a future mosaic. They looked at me and saw a mess."
"Until now."
Davidson King, always had a hope that someday her daydreams would become real-life stories. As a child, you would often find her in her own world, thinking up the most insane situations. It may have taken her awhile, but she made her dream come true with her first published work, Snow Falling.
When she's not writing you can find her blogging away on Diverse Reader, her review and promotional site. She managed to wrangle herself a husband who matched her crazy and they hatched three wonderful children.
If you were to ask her what gave her the courage to finally publish, she'd tell you it was her amazing family and friends. Support is vital in all things and when you're afraid of your dreams, it will be your cheering section that will lift you up.

Trinity Park Lofts
901 Queen St W, Toronto
The amazing location of these Toronto lofts is overlooking Trinity Bellwoods Park. This soft loft building has loads of potential finished with an elegant exterior. At Mr. Loft we find the hallways to be poorly finished, but the units do offer very functional living spaces and most have outdoor space as well. The seven-storey building looks like an early 20th-century warehouse and is shaped like an L to neatly tuck behind the historical site of the restored Georgian Farr House. The Farr family sold their house back in 1905 and although Trinity Park Lofts was built new from the ground up in 2003, it fits right in beside its historic neighbour. Amenities are fewer than what you'd find in a high rise, but they are well done and include underground parking, concierge, a fitness centre and a great entertaining space with a kitchen and walk out to a landscaped terrace. If you're looking for contemporary style in a historic atmosphere you've found it at Trinity Park Lofts.

Veggie Grill
Friday was my birthday, and my husband made reservations to have dinner at Sutra, a vegan fine-dining restaurant in Seattle. Sutra operates like a supper club in that there are one or two seatings a night and a fixed menu. The food is wonderful, but when my husband checked the menu, he saw that the entrée had a fennel seed sauce. No one in their right mind would serve me fennel seeds twice (he's already made that mistake once) — and certainly not on my birthday ... in public. When Sutra failed to contact him about possible substitutions, he decided to call and cancel. He asked where I'd like to go instead.
I considered Café Flora, a nice, upscale place with delicious food. But then I remembered that when we were out with friends on Wednesday night, they were raving about the new-to-Seattle Veggie Grill, and I wanted to try it. It may not seem like a birthday-worthy dining spot, but it was exactly what I felt like doing. Sutra will have to wait until they make something that won't make me gag — to put it bluntly. And my favorite time to go to Café Flora is for lunch on a sunny day, so I can sit in the fabulous solarium. That might not happen again until next summer. So Veggie Grill won the toss.
Seattle recently got two Veggie Grill locations, and one is in a shopping center about 10 minutes from our house, and that's where we went. (It's a very popular shopping center so if you go on a weekend, don't expect to find easy parking.) The restaurant is kind of like a fast food place with very minimal decor — for some silly reason, I thought it would look a little better, but no matter, it was clean and pleasant. It was easy to order at the counter, and the staff was extremely polite and friendly. Since it was my birthday, and I wanted to try a few different things, we ordered a starter of Uptown Nachos (Tortilla chips, chili, VG-cheese, corn salsa, avocado, soy cream, jalapeños). Oh yummy. I have no idea what was in the cheese or cream, but most everything else was recognizable, and I just let my food jeebies go and enjoyed it. Too bad I forgot the camera and had to use the phone.
My husband ordered the V-Burger, and I do know what was in that because Veggie Grill publishes the nutritional information of their meat-subs on their Web site. He loved the sandwich and the sides.
I had the (gluten-free) Urban Plate, which I would be happy to have again, and again. The presentation was gorgeous and the food delicious. You're only seeing some of the kale on the plate because the mushroom arrived on top of the tempeh, and I had to move it to take a photo. There was so much kale, and my husband kept saying, "wow, look at all the kale," and "the kale looks so good," so I gave him about a third of the kale. The kale was, in fact, perfect — tender and delicious. The mushroom had a slight smoky taste and the tempeh was the best-tasting I've ever had. Even the texture seemed better than tempeh I cook at home. It was too much food and I couldn't finish it — probably because of the nachos.
As we sat and ate my husband looked at the crowd and asked, "do you think all these people are vegan?" No, I don't. I think Veggie Grill has created a friendly, pleasant, fun, delicious vegan restaurant that has reached across dietary lines.
So I feel a little guilty adding this next part, but as you saw at the beginning of the post, my birthday is in October and I'm a Libra — on the cusp, but still possessing substantial Libra qualities. We Libras can be both artistic, and also obsessively tuned to see both sides of every story. We have a hard time making decisions because of this need to review all sides of an issue. The issue foremost in my mind in relation to Veggie Grill is that of isolated soy protein, which I usually avoid. I do eat soy products like tofu, tempeh, miso, edamame, and tamari, but I usually don't eat isolated soy protein. All of the burgers and chick'n at Veggie Grill contain this product, and it makes me nervous, though of course, I know there are many opinions on the topic. Veggie Grill stands on the side of believing it is health promoting.
In the interest of balance, I'm sharing a video of Dr. John McDougall speaking about the dangers of consuming soy isolates as compared to the dangers of consuming meat and dairy. It's a very interesting video. What do you think?

Happy Fennel-Free Birthday Wishes!ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Andrea! The Urban Plate sounds really good. I love it when they heap on the kale.ReplyDelete
It is very cool that Veggie Grill provides nutritional info online; I always kinda want to ask about that.
The mcdougall clip was enlightening, though. I typically try to avoid ISP but sometimes I just let it slide. It's really scary to see how much it can affect you and how easy it is to just eat 40 g.Replies
Thanks! There was a LOT of kale — enough to share even though I am normally very reluctant to part with any of my kale.Delete
It's hard to be the nutrition police 24/7, so occasionally things I don't want to eat get eaten (like carrageenan, for example). You do the best you can but sometimes you eat whatever, and enjoy it!
As soon as I saw that top picture I thought - wherever that is, I need to go there! That's good birthday food!ReplyDelete
On the soy isolates issue, I'm skeptical that any one food stuff can do you harm, even deep fried whatevers, soy isolates or what have you, unless you eat massive quantities of it on a very regular basis. A little here and there is unlikely to have massively troubling effects.Replies
I agree with you that moderation is important; the key is how people define moderation. For some it's "no more than once a day" and for others "no more than once a week," or "once a month, etc." Some "bad" ingredients are so pervasive they appear in many products that might be consumed over the course of a day. I try to eat real food most of the time and stay away from manufactured foods, but like you said, "a little here or there" probably won't hurt.Delete
Hey, Happy Birthday Andrea!!! Glad it was fennel-free for you!ReplyDelete
The food looks yummy. I've been eyeing their menu and thinking of heading over there this week maybe.
I'm with you on the soy protein isolate...I try to avoid it. The video was great! I'm struggling with my husband, who likes to eat the Yves brand bacon on the weekends. I keep telling him how bad it is...once in a while, it's probably not going to make or break him...but not every weekend! This past weekend, I made him some baked tofu to eat instead, and he went for it, so hopefully I can keep that trend going.Replies
I'll be interested to hear what you think. It's possible to get both real food and fake food at Veggie Grill — something for everyone. (Maybe not everyone. :D) Have you ever made tempeh bacon? Liquid smoke can be very useful in creating an authentic taste.
Happy Birthday Andrea! Mine was on 19th too:) My husband took the day off and had planned the lunches and dinners to either of sage/cafe flora/sutra. :) we lunched at Sage and ate so much chocolate in the evening that dinner was a light indian daal and sabji at home.ReplyDelete
i have been to the south lake union veggie grill a few weeks back and did not like the food much. i need to give them a second chance. the kale was good, the chipotle sauce with the fries was good and thats about it. everything else was too bland. the tempeh tasted like uncooked tempeh. it could have been an off day or someone did not like my face:)
i am with you on the soy protein isolate. its almost like jumping from one unhealthy wagon to another.Replies
Thanks and happy birthday to you, too! I just commented on your blog before reading this and didn't realize your birthday was the same day as mine. It looks like we picked some of the same places to celebrate, too.Delete
I really loved the tempeh but it's possible you're used to more spices than I am. I kind of like plainer food, though the tempeh didn't taste bland or uncooked to me.
Happy Birthday Richa and Andrea. I know I've wished you both HB elsewhere, but I wanted to make sure I didn't look insensitive here ;) Okay I've eaten at Veggie Gril about 5 times in LA ,and have always had a great meal. I think the soy isolate is in tofurky links and I eat them. Is that possible. I have to watch the video.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, GiGi. :)Delete
With ISP, all things are possible. You should watch the video. Is McDougall the guy whose diet you follow?
I am happy I am short.Delete
HAHA! How short? I'm probably shorter. Does this mean we can eat more ISP than other, tall people?Delete
Hee-hee, yes! Finally, something good about being a shorty! I'm a shorty, as you know, but you're are one of the few people I've met who is shorter than me (grown-ups, that is). Well done! Long live us short folks!Delete
Here, here!Delete

Happy Birthday, Andrea! I think the Veggie Grill looks like a fabulous place to celebrate--I have always wanted to go to one!! I hope you had a great birthday :-)ReplyDelete
Word on the street says you, and Rose are shorter.ReplyDelete
I was 5'3 and a half at one time.
No I follow Engine 2.
I haven't been buying ISP for our house for quite awhile now. Occasionally I am sure we consume it at restaurants, during our rare trips. It makes me nervous, too. I have tried to gently tell my husband I've cut it out, but he gets a little frustrated with me when I continue to cut more things out of my diet (no matter that I'm doing it for good reason). And he does love eating a lot of those things, like the soy bacon.ReplyDelete
My son still talks about that whole coconut mango cake we picked up from Cafe Flora when we were in town about 5 years ago on his birthday.
Happy Birthday again! Veggie Grill looks good. I am not a huge fan of all soy but I do have it on occasion when I'm out as a treat in small quantities. Otherwise I find it hard to digest.ReplyDelete
loved reading about your trip too. San Diego is one of the places I hope to travel to at some point, that's great you got to add it to a business trip. and Happy Anniversary!
Those nachos look amazing. Food doesn't have to be fancy to attract the masses- just good. And I'm glad they are attracting vegans and non-vegans alike. Nachos for dinner in my house!ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting Andrea's easy vegan cooking. I love, and read, all of your comments! Please share your thoughts.

Experiencing the Cranberry Harvest, Massachusetts.
Last Updated on
When most Americans when sit down for their traditional Thanksgiving dinner on the fourth Thursday of November, a dish of cranberry sauce is sure to be on the table. Yet despite the ubiquity of the zesty condiment, three-quarters of Americans have reportedly never seen a cranberry bog, let alone experienced a cranberry harvest. That is a shame, as the vivid hues of this crop at harvest time is a spectacular sight–and the history of the fruit's cultivation offers lessons in ingenuity and cooperation.
The cranberry is native to Massachusetts, and the Cranberry harvest, Massachusetts is a colorful event. My proverbial sandlot of the Bay State happens to produce 35% of the world's cranberries. Those are pretty big bragging rights given that 70% of the state's growers are small family farms with less than 20 acres of bogs. The majority of cranberry growers are multi-generational families, some fifth and sixth generation, with two to three generations often working and living together on their farms.
The Kravitz family of Bridgewater is among those multi-generational family farms. Co-owner Adrienne was kind enough to give me a tour of the Hanson Cranberry Farm, which she runs with her father, Stan. Adrienne left an executive position with a global consulting firm to help her dad manage the enterprise–he had been operating the farm alone and had experienced some ill health. She was also motivated by a desire to "work with the land and produce something that is good and good for you."
The Kravitz father-daughter duo makes a good team, and their mutual respect and affection for one another was obvious. With Stan's good-humored and patient prodding, I stepped out of my comfort zone and climbed up on a "berry washer," a chugging, heaving contraption into which tons of cranberries were being dumped, washed and sorted. The shot below was taken from its heights.
Ocean Spray: Cooperative cranberry growing.
I met the Kravtizs through Ocean Spray—rather than the corporate conglomerate I had thought that organization to be, I found out that it is an agricultural cooperative owned by cranberry growers throughout North America. The coop was formed in 1930 in Hanson by three cranberry growers led by lawyer and cranberry grower Marcus L. Urann. Today, there are about 700 members.
While much attention is paid to the disharmony in the world today, people have been cooperating to achieve goals that they could not accomplish alone since prehistoric men and women worked together as hunters and gatherers. Ancient Babylonians practiced cooperative farming and the Chinese developed savings and loan associations dating back centuries. In 1752, American founding father Benjamin Franklin organized one of the early mutual insurance companies.
Welshman Robert Owen is considered the father of the modern cooperative movement. In the 19th century, he applied humanitarian principles to empower workers in his cotton mills in Scotland, where the first co-operative store was opened. The Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers was a group of 28 weavers and other artisans who came together in England in 1844. They sought to collectively counter the challenges that the scientific advances of the Industrial Revolution created for skilled craftsmen. The result was the development of the Rochdale Principles, an enduring model for co-ops.
It was on Cape Cod that commercial cultivation of the cranberry began. Farmer Henry Hall, the first known cultivator of cranberries, found inspiration in perceiving an unexpected phenomenon affecting his crop as an asset rather than a problem. In 1816, when he started cranberry farming, he noticed the fruit was larger and juicier where a layer of sand from the Cape's dunes blew over the vines. A successful technique was born that is still used today.
Beyond a sprinkling of sand dust, cranberries require a special set of circumstances to flourish–acid peat soil, fresh water, a long growing season stretching from April to November, and a dormant period in the winter months. The beds that cranberries grow in are known as "bogs," created eons ago by the movement of glaciers. While we tromped around her property, Adrienne pointed out that the bogland also serves as a wildlife sanctuary, providing habitat for creatures such as the bald eagle, osprey, great blue heron, fox, deer and wild turkey.
Experiencing the Cranberry Harvest, Massachusetts.
Flax Pond Cranberry Co. of Carver employs the dry harvest technique — now used by only five percent of North American farms. Jack Angley, who with his wife, Dot, has owned the 100-acre farm since 1967, said dry harvest has a beauty of its own.
"It is only during dry harvesting that one can see the russet beauty of the turning vines and the colorful patterns created as the harvesting machines pass through the unpicked sections,'' Angley said.
The term for cleaning and separating the fruit is called "screening,'' and the Flax Pond property includes a screening house dating to the 1890s. Today the building serves as a museum and monument to cranberry history. Among the antiques on display is a 1926 Bailey separator, which sorts the good berries from the bad based on their "bounce,'' and by size, which was an important factor in the price paid by brokers. The tiniest fruits were called "pie berries,'' ones only a baker could love.
"God decreed cranberries do well here,'' Angley said wryly. "We have the sand, swamps, and temperature that make the industry possible. The warmth and moisture provided by the proximity of the ocean prevents frost from being a big problem.''
Picking, corralling, and loading are not in most leaf-peepers' repertoires. But to experience a new way to see fall's colors — head for the southeastern Massachusetts cranberry harvest.
Nestled among the towns between Carver and Harwich are more than 14,000 acres of cranberry bogs. October brings a brilliant crimson carpet from which rises the better-known seasonal skyline of gold, orange, and yellow.
For more than 25 years the bogs have inspired Gail Marie Nauen, a Carver resident and painter.
"The tall pine trees provided the shade patterns on the floating pinks, reds, and peaches that make up the cranberry harvest,'' Nauen said, recalling a recent scene. "Tomorrow, with another sunrise, the berries will take on a whole new look.''
The harvest can often be seen from the side the road; the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association publishes a harvest route trail guide. But the bogs in their most vivid hues are a short-lived phenomenon.
Fortunately, you need not rely on the whims of Mother Nature or guess the harvest schedule. Venues exist that not only showcase the harvest, but also appeal to history buffs, bird-watchers, foodies, and festival-lovers.
The annual Cranberry Harvest Celebration is one. Held each Columbus Day weekend in Wareham at A.D. Makepeace Co., which sponsors the event with the growers association, the event features juried crafters and activities for children such as "make your own bog.'' Local chefs put on culinary shows, using cranberries, of course. Last year, almost 20,000 visitors attended.
Makepeace, the world's largest cranberry grower, has been cultivating cranberries since the 1800s. This fall it will harvest 1,590 of its nearly 2,000 acres. All of its bogs have names, many of them Native American. Wankinco is the largest bog at 75 acres and half-acre Jacoby is one of the smallest.
A highlight of the Harvest Celebration is a continuous display of the three-phase harvesting process of picking, corralling, and loading. Visitors can witness an impressive transformation as 10,000 pounds of cranberries are extracted from the fields over the course of the two-day event.
A machine with "beaters'' knocks the berries off the vines after water has been added to a dry bog. An internal air chamber causes them to float to the surface, millions of the ripe red berries bobbing in the water.
Next, a crew garbed in wet-suit-like waders "corrals'' all the berries with a boom, encircling the fruit and pulling it to one side of the bog. The berries are then suctioned through a hose up into a pump truck, where they are washed, then vacuumed up into a tractor trailer and shipped for processing.
The vast expanse of paved blacktop surrounding Patriot Place in Foxborough conceals a pristine preserve tucked beyond the concrete, where on a recent weekend a steady stream of young families and older dog-walkers enjoyed the half-mile nature trail.
Besides cranberries, the Patriot Place 32-acre wetland landscape includes plant life such as white water lily, wild celery, swamp white oak, and red maple. The wildlife includes deer, foxes, great blue herons, and swans.
The crane, an elegant bird that once graced the bogs in greater numbers, is said to have inspired the fruit's name: The shape of its head resembles the berry's flower.
The history of all things cranberry is housed in the Harwich Historical Society Museum at Brooks Academy, located in a building that itself is a period piece. Displays chronicle settlers being taught by Native Americans to use the berry also as a dye and medicine, and document the world's first commercial crop in 1846 by Captain Alvin Cahoon. He and others helped invest in commercial cranberry production, buying and developing low, swampy land previously thought to be worthless and growing an industry.
I have always loved the tart and tangy taste of cranberries. Over time, my appreciation has grown for both the bitter and sweet in life, and my understanding has evolved that the threads of both are intertwined, like the submerged vines that support the vibrant, robust cranberries.
Here's to a tasty morsel of Yankee ingenuity that is sure to bejewel the landscape for some time to come.

Last week, Bill Ackman sold off $610 million worth of shares in a fast-food chain. Today, a Chipotle in suburban Virginia closed after allegedly giving norovirus to a lucky 13 customers. Any chance the two are related? Of course not, because Bill Ackman's luck has long since run out: The shares he sold were of booming Burger King—whose stock price only goes down when Ackman sells $610 million worth of them—and not of Chipotle, whose shares are particularly sensitive to reports of food poisoning for some reason.......MORE

A number of years ago I was giving a talk on the Baha'i Faith during which I said how wonderful it was that the Bab declared His mission on the first day of spring back in 1844. I talked about the wonderful coincidence of it and how it was so symbolic.
Unfortunately, I was wrong. He hadn't done that on that date. He had actually declared His mission months later on 23 May. I was a bit embarrassed about that mistake when I learned of it later, but felt like I had learned an important lesson in both humility and courtesy. I had to be humble and accept I had been wrong about that one fact. But I was also very impressed with the courtesy of the friends there who obviously knew my error, and refrained from saying anything. I mean, they could have corrected me later, but I'm grateful that they didn't correct me at the moment.
That lesson, though, has stuck with me and led me to a question: Why is it that we feel the need to correct someone when we believe something different than what they say?
Recently, my son was saying a prayer, and in the middle of the prayer was the word "Sinai". He pronounced it "sih-nie", and someone else in the room "corrected" him, saying it was "sie-nie". In the middle of his prayer. While he was praying. When he was finished, I told him that he hadn't actually mis-pronounced it. His pronunciation was perfectly acceptable, just different from hers. Well, this friend proceeded to tell me that I was wrong, and that she knew how it was pronounced. Ignoring this, I told him about how different people have different accents, and that neither pronunciation is wrong. Both are correct. And, in fact, if you look at the word, you will see that the first syllable has a different spelling than the second, indicating that they might not be pronounced the same way. But the pronunciation depends on your particular accent.
Look at the spelling of some common words: Colour? Color? Neighbour? Neighbor? Again, both are fine. They are acceptable versions of the same words. It merely depends on where you grew up, where you live, as to which is considered correct. Just because one is correct, that doesn't mean the other is wrong.
Just the other day I had someone "correct" me when I referred to a "tepee". She said that if I was going to interact with it, I should learn how to spell it, "tipi". What would be the intent of that? My first reaction was quite unhealthy and could have led me not write anything about that culture again. But really, that would have been childish on my part, and not worthy of that culture I so dearly love. Instead, I pointed out that there are 3 acceptable spellings of the word, and that I was using the one most common where I live. It did remind me, though, of how damaging "correcting" someone can be. After all, wouldn't it be sad if our attempt at "correcting" someone led them to turn away from that which we love?
Perfection and excellence are good things, but courtesy is also important.
While meditating on this, I was reminded of a strange passage from Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Iqan, the Book of Certitude. There, on page 8, He is talking about Noah, and says, "...there remained with Him only forty or seventy-two of His followers." Why is He obscure about this, quoting two different numbers? Surely He could've told us the correct number, or not even mentioned a number at all. But He didn't. He wrote both numbers. Why? Well, I'm not actually sure, but I suspect it is because He is quoting two different traditions, and doesn't want to show preference between them. Perhaps He is saying that it is irrelevant which number we believe. And that, to me, is a worthy and important lesson.
When listening to someone else, or reading what they are writing, I often find that they say something I disagree with. But perhaps I can learn from this. Instead of presuming that I am correct, and that they must be wrong, maybe I should, instead, presume that they are right. Or maybe that we both are.
After all, how different would our interactions be if we always presumed that the other was correct, even if we are certain about our own knowledge? For like pronunciation, or spelling, there may be more than one form of what is correct.

Primetime Emmy Music Nominations Announced
Simpsons composer Clausen makes history with 30th nom by Jon Burlingame
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—The Simpsons composer Alf H. Clausen became the most-nominated musician in Emmy history, receiving a record 30th Emmy nomination for music when the 63rd annual Primetime Emmy nominations were announced this morning by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Clausen, who has won twice for songs he's penned for the animated Fox series (in 1997 and 1998), has been house composer for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie since 1990. He has scored more than 450 Simpsons episodes. Twenty-three of his 30 Emmy nominations are for Simpsons scores or songs; seven others are for other TV shows, including Moonlighting.
Clausen now has one more Emmy nomination than Ian Fraser, who has 11 Emmys and another 18 nominations, all in the music direction category.
Just last month, Clausen received ASCAP's Golden Note Award as part of its salute to top film and television composers. Said ASCAP president Paul Williams: "Alf Clausen's decades of scores for The Simpsons and other TV programs and films are as endlessly inventive as the imaginations of the shows' writers and animators. It takes a lot of serious work and thought to compose, arrange and conduct such wonderfully happy music."
Clausen has been active in television since the mid-1970s, including music direction on such variety shows as Donny & Marie and The Mary Tyler Moore Hour, and original music for Alf, Moonlighting, Police Story and other dramatic and comedic series. His feature film scores include Half-Baked and Number One With a Bullet; and he has contributed orchestrations to several other films including Splash, Dragnet and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Clausen's nomination was one of many announced in five different music categories at the Emmys. The surprising news was the domination of the "music and lyrics" category by no fewer than four songs from Saturday Night Live: two co-written and sung by Justin Timberlake ("Monologue" and "3-Way," the latter with Lady Gaga), another for Michael Bolton ("Jack Sparrow") and one from the Jeff Bridges-hosted episode ("I Just Had Sex"). SNL writers Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone -- all of whom are previous winners for the infamous SNL song "Dick in a Box" -- received three more nominations; Timberlake received two more.
There were several multiple nominees in the music categories. Carter Burwell, best known for his film scores for Joel and Ethan Coen, received two for his music for the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce (one for his score, one for his theme). Rob Mathes, a previous three-time nominee, received nominations for his music direction on the Kennedy Center Honors and for his dramatic score for the HBO film Thurgood.
Family Guy music was acknowledged with three nominations: Two for original scores by regular series composers Walter Murphy and Ron Jones, and one for a song ("Christmastime Is Killing Us") by Jones, creator Seth MacFarlane and Danny Smith. Murphy and MacFarlane are previous song winners; this marks Jones' third and fourth nominations for Family Guy. Comedian Robert Klein, along with songwriting partner Robert H. Stein, received a nomination for their song for Klein's HBO special Unfair & Unbalanced.
Trevor Morris, a previous winner for his theme for The Tudors, received nominations for his theme for The Borgias and for his score for The Pillars of the Earth. First-time nominee Dan Jones received two nominations, for his theme and underscore for Any Human Heart for PBS's Masterpiece.
Composer brothers Jeff and Mychael Danna received their first nominations for their theme for Starz' Camelot; three-time Emmy winner Sean P. Callery received a nomination for his theme for The Kennedys; and first timer Mark Thomas was acknowledged for his theme for Showtime's Episodes.
In the music direction category, Mathes was joined by co-director Rob Berman for their work on the Kennedy Center Honors. Former American Idol music director Rickey Minor was nominated for his work on An Evening of Stars: Tribute to Chaka Khan. Three-time winner William Ross was nominated for the annual Oscarcast; Paul Shaffer received his third nod for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony; and previous winners David Foster and Harry Connick Jr. scored new nominations for two PBS specials, Hitman Returns: David Foster & Friends and Harry Connick Jr. In Concert on Broadway, respectively.
30 Rock composer Jeff Richmond scored his second music nomination for that series. Also in the "dramatic score" category, Garth Neustadter received his first nomination for an American Masters documentary, John Muir in the New World. And James Bond composer David Arnold shared his first Emmy nomination with Michael Price for Sherlock: A Study in Pink on PBS's Masterpiece. A complete list follows:
