In late April, I had the opportunity to take a tour of Oregon wine country from the Willamette Valley to the southern region near Eugene and Medford.
As you may or may not be aware, Oregon's pinot noirs, with their high acid and mushroom-like aromas, are very similar in quality and flavor to the wines of Burgundy, France. Likewise, their pinot gris and chardonnay have that bright acidity as well, making them excellent food wines, which, when stored properly, can last for a decade or more.
The Willamette Valley in northern Oregon is home to these cool-climate grapes. Farther south in the Umpqua Valley, you will find warmer climate grapes such as zinfandel, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, viognier and roussane as well as some spectacular tempranillos, albarinos and grenaches.
We began our trip in Portland, about an hour north of the Willamette Valley, where we were able to attend the 2012 Un Wined event, an annual celebration of Oregon wines along with 14 outstanding restaurants that carry an extensive array of Oregon wines.
Oregon has approximately 450 wineries and 38 percent of the 850 vineyards are bio-certified sustainable, certified organic or certified biodynamic. About 250 of the wineries are in the Willamette Valley, one of the 16 American viticultural areas established to showcase Oregon's varied climate and soil properties.
I'm going to give you a quick overview of some of the best wines I tasted at Un Wined and then we'll begin our tour through the wine-growing areas.
Abacela, for my money, produces the best albarino, grenache rose and tempranillos in the state. From the standpoint of pinot noir, I was most impressed with Archery Summit's 2009 Dundee Hills Arcus Estate; Brittain Vineyards McMinville "Gesalt Block" pinot noir with its lovely fruit and brisk acidity, served impressively at cellar temperature; Carlton Cellars Cape Lockout and its smoky, earthlike mushroom overtones; Penner Ash Wine Cellars 2010 Willamette Valley pinot noir with its crushed rose bouquet and chewiness on the palate; and Sokol Blosser's 2007 Dundee Hills pinot noir.
Troon Vineyards, a winery owned by the Quady family, offered a superior syrah. Also excellent was the pinot gris from Benton Lane, Lange pinot gris reserve and Yamhill Valley Vineyard's pinot noir.
When you're up in the Portland area, check out Terrace Kitchen Restaurant & Bar, the Joel Palmer House, Allium Bistro and the Urban Farmer restaurants for a taste of local cuisine.
From here it was on to the Blue Goat Restaurant in Amity in the central Willamette Valley for a meet and greet, starting with a tasting of Oregon chardonnays and hors d'oeuvres followed by dinner with some of the pioneers of Oregon's wine industry, including Myron Redford of Amity Vineyards, Pat Dudley and Ted Casteel of Bethel Heights Vineyard, Harry Peterson Nedry of Chehalem Winery and David Adelsheim of Adelsheim Vineyards.
I was sitting between Pat Dudly and David Adelsheim and the sense of history was palpable. It was initially difficult to sell Willamette Valley wines in the Portland area and Eugene was more interested in its own locally grown wines. Things changed as the awards and accolades mounted for the pinot noir, pinot gris and chardonnays produced in Willamette.
Some of the highlights of the evening were Amity's Windhill Vineyard chardonnay from the 1978 vintage – no malolactic fermentation with high acid and a honeyed bouquet; the 2002 Amity Grannell pinot noir with its very cherry bouquet, one of the first wines released as a single vineyard designation; the 2005 Bethel Heights Casteel reserve pinot noir with its earthy, rose tinged bouquet, rich flavors and bracing acidity; the Chehalem 1998 reserve pinot noir from Ridgecrest vineyard – great structure, beautiful black cherry and raspberry aromas; and the Adelsheim Yamhill County 1994 Elizabeth's reserve – a very rich wine with cherries and white spice on the palate and a long and lingering chocolate finish.
The Blue Goat is probably the best restaurant in the Amity Eola area and is Myron Redford's favorite eating place. Check out such dishes as house-cured sardines; goat sausage empanadas; potato, leek and wild nettle soup; braised pork belly on a bed of brown lentils and braised greens; house-made ravioli stuffed with oak wood roasted Cornish game hen, duck confit, pork sausage, sauteed mushrooms, smoked onions and house-made ricotta; and finish up with a chocolate hazelnut torte.
After this long memorable experience, it was on to the Willamette Valley's most luxuriant hotel, the Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg, just north of the Dundee Hills AVA. Would that we were able to spend more time exploring this hotel, whose spa was voted the No. 1 spa in the continental United States by Travel & Leisure Magazine.
The inn sits on 35 acres with elegant gardens and pathways connecting to their vineyards and picnic area. Their signature restaurant, Jory, showcases Oregon wine country cuisine and an extensive selection of Oregon wines. Breakfast the next morning was at the Chef's Table, giving us a view of the kitchen where a bounty of items including omelettes, corned beef hash, smoked salmon and fresh fruit were set out for our dining pleasure.
Fully sated, we departed for Montinore Estate in Forest Grove, in the northwest corner of the Willamette Valley. On arrival, we were treated to a discussion by Jeff Weissler of Conscious Wine regarding the advantages of organic and biodynamic wine production and sustainability of crops from year to year.
Montinore Estate, Brick House Vineyards, Johan Vineyard and Brooks Winery all practice these concepts. Many of their wines are created without adding yeast to the fermentation process. Biodynamic farming avoids the use of synthetic chemicals and uses enhanced biodiversity in the soil in which the grapes grow. Natural pesticides are used.
In each succeeding vintage year, the wines are more lively and vibrant and the grape varietal becomes more expressive. Yields continue to improve as well with each succeeding vintage.
Doug Tunnell of Brick House tore out a walnut orchard and 16 acres of hazelnut trees and farmed the new vineyard organically. The early years were difficult, but they markedly improved over the next 10 to 12 years. The vineyards were composted and much of the fermentation, particularly with pinot noir, was done with whole clusters, yielding increased vibrancy and stability.
Rudy Marchesi at Montinore took 30 acres of land and farmed them both organically and biodynamically after traveling to Finland to see how biodynamic farming there reduced some of the disadvantages of their short growing season.
We then were able to taste some of these biodynamically raised wines. Some of my favorites were Brick House 2008 pinot gris, voted Pinot Gris of the Year by Wine & Spirits Magazine and the Brick House 2010 chardonnay, an elegant bottle fermented on the lees without yeast, with distinct mineral tones, good acid and rich, vibrant flavors.
From Montinore, the gewurtztraminer reserve was superb with a classic grapefruit nose and a bit of lychee and rose petal. The fruit was so intense that one expected some sweetness on the palate, but it was bone dry. Their 2009 estate reserve pinot noir was lush with flavors of red and black fruit and pie spice along with a big cherry nose and bright acidity. The Parson's Ridge 2008 single vineyard pinot noir had a leaner and elegant nose with bright red fruit and a hint of white pepper.
We then headed out to King Estate in the southern Willamette Valley around Eugene, where we were to have a cellar tasting of King Estate and Benton Lane wines along with appetizers, before enjoying dinner at their restaurant which serves wine country cuisine. The repast was followed by an overnight stay at the estate and a tour of the vineyards and locally produced estate products the next morning.
At King Estate, they have more than 1,000 acres of certified organic vineyards, growing primarily pinot gris and pinot noir. The estate's main building is on top of a hill overlooking the world's largest contiguous organic vineyard. The view is exquisite and the accommodations were outstanding.
Upon entering the cellars, we were greeted by winemaker Steve Girard of Benton Lane Winery, and he poured his 2010 Northwest dry riesling and a 2009 full malolactic fermented chardonnay. A 2010 King Estate pinot noir was also poured. The appetizers included an assortment of charcuterrie produced on the premises including duck pate, duck prosciutto, dried and candied cured bacon, assorted cheeses and dried fruit.
Dinner at the King Estate Restaurant was delightful. Steve Girard served as the host and carried on a dinner-long conversation that left the group in stitches. Quentin Ransone, one of the key marketing people from King Estates, also joined us for the dinner.
The five-course dinner with wine started with local mesclun greens and garden vegetables sprinkled with toasted pumpkin seeds and an apple cider verjus vinaigrette along with King Estate 2011 Acrobat Rose of pinot noir. Next came seared Alaskan scallops accompanied by a succulent pork belly confit, sweet peas, morel mushrooms, green onions and a sauce aromatique along with the excellent King Estate Signature pinot gris.
The third course consisted of roasted smoked chicken, fingerling potatoes, wild mushrooms and asparagus and a sage poultry jus along with an awesome Benton Lane rose scented pinot noir. Steve Girard also poured a lovely 2005 pinot noir reserve, 2005 being one of the best pinot noir vintages of the past 10 to 15 years in Oregon.
The main dish was filet mignon with grilled asparagus, petite aligot red wine soaked shallots and an aged balsamic demi-glaze. A Columbia Valley cabernet sauvignon and a beautifully structured Le Colene Walla Walla syrah were served with the dish. Dessert was a flourless chocolate cake with salted caramel ice cream, orange caramel sauce and candied citrus peel served with a King Estate Vin Glace riesling. The superb meal was prepared by Michael Landsberg, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. He has overseen the kitchen here at King Estate since 2007.
The accommodations for the male media guests were at The Ranch House on the property, which was stocked with wine and snacks, as well as bacon, eggs and salsa for the next morning's breakfast. We also had a pool table and a huge plasma TV at our disposal.
The next morning, before leaving, we visited the on-site King Estate bakery which produces cakes, sorbets, breads and ice cream, including a bacon version. The beekeeper supplies them with fresh honey collected on the premises, and they do an array of preserves as well, including apricot-cardomon, strawberry-rosemary and spiced apple jelly. There is also a brining area and smoking shed for assorted charcuterries.
Finally, there was a demonstration of how root stalks are grafted to a scion. It's done on a machine from Germany. The graft takes about three weeks to start growing and then a year before the grafted root stalk is replanted.
Our next stop was the Southern Oregon Wine Institute. Not only is this an educational resource for the area wineries, but it also provides programs for students who would like to work in the local wine industry. Inside is a full service student bar and a commercial wine production facility. The first student program began in 2005-06. The instructors are growers and winemakers, which gives the students hands-on learning at small to medium-sized wineries in the southern Oregon area. Lectures are all available online.
In the upstairs area is a replica of a winery's tasting room where students both blend and pour different wines. The state-of-the-art laboratory allows students to use available instrumentation to titrate acidity, determine sugar levels and perform blending of different varietals, all under the tuteledge of local winemakers. The average age of the students in the enology program is 42 and the program consists of one year of viticulture (growing grapes) and one year of enology (producing and blending of wines).
There is a cultural and academic exchange program between Roseberg, where the institute is, and wineries in Spain. There is also a one-year culinary program offered to train chefs and line cooks.
After the tour, we had the opportunity to meet with some of the winemakers of the Umpqua Valley during a wine-and-dine lunch, including Earl Jones of Abacela and the winemakers from Brandberg and Spangler. The climate of the southern appellations of Oregon is warmer, such that varietals like syrah, malbec, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and viognier flourish.
Earl Jones at Abacela (from the ancient Latin-Iberian verb "abacelar," translating as "to plant a vine") has developed quite a reputation for the production of Spanish wines such as tempranillo, albarino and garnacha. In fact, in 2001, their 1998 tempranillo bested all Spanish entries including Ribera and Rioja tempranillos in an international competition. Abacela Winery won America's first gold medal for their 2005 tempranillo reserve at the Tempranillo al Mundo competition in Spain.
It's no wonder that Abacela's Spanish varietals flourish in the Umpqua Valley, as their latitude is virtually identical to that of the area in northern Spain, where the top tempranillos are produced. Of course, it's not just about the terroir, as Earl's winemaking expertise plays a critical role in the winery's success. His malbec and syrah have also garnered excellent press, with the 2005 syrah reserve receiving 95 points from Wine Enthusiast, as well as being one of Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Wines of 2009.
Here are my impressions of some of the wines we sampled at lunch. Abacela's albarino, a high acid wine with a long honeysuckle nose, finishing bone dry. It's the finest version of this varietal that I've encountered. Abacela's grenache rose is very fruity yet dry with a bracing acidity (would be excellent with cioppino or bouillabaise) and is fermented cold. Brandbourg's 2008 pinot noir is rich and elegant with a distinct berry nose.
The 2007 Abacela tempranillo reserve was rated the No. 1 wine at the annual Greatest of the Grape wine fest in southern Oregon, now in its 42nd year. With its rich dark fruit and a lingering finish, the 2007 is only the third reserve tempranillo Abacela has produced. It also has fewer leather and tobacco overtones than its Spanish counterparts.
Our trip finished up that evening with a dinner at 38 Central in Medford with paired wines from such wineries as Troon, Quady North, Cowhorn, Woolridge Creek Agate Ridge, Del Rio, Pebblestone and Cliff Creek. The appetizers were particularly good, including a crab cake with authentic Remoulade sauce, Shanghai ribs and sticky rice and a prawn and grilled pear combo.
Of the wines, particularly good were the Troon reserve zinfandel – their syrah is also excellent; the Woolridge Creek malbec; and the Pebblestone cabernet franc. Overall, it was an enjoyable yet altogether too short a trip. Oregon wine country has much to offer and I'm hoping to return in the not too distant future to visit other places in the Willamette and Umpqua Valleys.

In Moorhead, Painful Yearbook Typo Right On Cover
MOORHEAD (AP) - Students at Moorhead High School are learning a painful lesson about proofreading after a typo landed right on their yearbook's cover.
Extra painful: The name of the town was misspelled as "Moorehead," with the extra "e" that sometimes gets dropped into the town's name.
School officials say the mistake got past an adviser and two classes of students who worked on the yearbook last year. It was sent off this summer to be printed at Josten's, and copies arrived this week.
Spokeswoman Pam Gibb says the district can't afford to reprint the yearbooks, which cost about $20,000 to produce. School officials say they're discussing using an adhesive label to cover up the mistake.

You may have heard recently that introducing peanuts into an infant's diet early on can reduce his or her risk for developing a peanut allergy. Le Bonheur Allergist and Immunologist Jay Lieberman, MD, weighs in on this topic below.
We discussed this topic on the blog a few years ago -- when to introduce allergenic foods (e.g. peanut, egg, fish, shellfish) into your child's diet. In that post we discussed introducing foods early (4-6 months of age) in average or low-risk children. In children who already had eczema or evidence of food allergy at that age, we recommended discussion with your pediatrician. New research has gives us additional guidance.
First, if your child does not have eczema or known food allergies by 4-6 months of age, not much has changed from the prior post.
Feel free to add age-appropriate foods starting at 4-6 months of age. This means foods that are not a choking hazard and are in an age-appropriate style. However, if your child already has eczema or a food allergy by 4-6 months of age, we now have new information that suggests early introduction of peanut may be a good thing. Based on recent studies, if your child has eczema and/or a known egg allergy by 4-10 months of age, then adding peanut to his diet early can reduce the risk of developing a peanut allergy.
So, what should you do?
- If your child has no eczema or food allergy, feed away. His or her risk for peanut allergy is low. I would still recommend milk only (breastmilk or formula) for 4 months. After that point, if you would like, feel free to add peanut-containing foods into his or her diet. There is no reason to delay. Make sure the foods are not a choking hazard -- for peanut, this can be done by thinning out smooth peanut butter with water. This goes for other foods as well.
- If your child has mild eczema (the kind of eczema that pretty easily controlled with lots of moisturizers and the occasional steroid cream), current recommendations are to introduce peanut-containing foods around 6 months of age. It is not likely necessary that he or she gets tested first.
- If your child has severe eczema and/or a food allergy already by 4-10 months of age, current recommendations are to have them evaluated for peanut allergy early. This can be done by a blood test by the pediatrician or a skin test by an allergist.
If the testing is negative, introducing peanut early -- between 4-6 months of age is recommended. This can decrease their chance of having peanut allergy as they grow.
If the testing is positive, recommendations are to see an allergist. Depending on how large their skin test is, the allergist may recommend a formal feeding challenge in the office. If they pass this, then they should continue eating peanut at home.
While we don't know for sure if this concept extends to other foods, it is possible. Also, if you already have a kiddo at home that is allergic to peanut, discuss with your doctor if it is worth testing future infants early.

The Sun Sign
Most columns and books are based on your Sun sign (or known also as your Star sign) but they are only a small part of the story when you examine a birth chart. The Sun reveals our true selves – when you get to know people well it is their Sun sign you connect with.
PISCES Feb. 20 - Mar. 20
Imaginative, Sensitive, Compassionate, Kind, Selfless, Unworldly, Intuitive and Sympathetic
Escapist And Idealistic, Secretive And Vague, Weak-Willed And Easily Led
Pisceans are spiritual beings ruled by their feelings. Their journey through life will involve much soul searching and retreat into that hazy world which exists between the real and the unreal. While they are very happy traveling the paths of their inner world, the Piscean compassion and need to help others will ensure they return to the real world regularly.
Pisceans tend to go where life takes them. If they do not like their current direction, they simply retreat into themselves until their direction changes. One of the great dangers for the Pisceans is they sometimes become so involved in their dreams and fantasies they find it difficult to separate fact from fantasy. Another danger is that their docile nature makes it easy for others to take advantage of them.
Pisceans must not allow themselves to become detached from those around them, because they will become depressed, pessimistic and languid. The gentle Pisceans are usually far too shy to tout their talents, which in the arts may be formidable. Their compassion and empathy seems to be without bounds, which makes them a great ally for anyone.
The Pisces In Love:
Pisces really need to be needed. They suffer from fear of rejection and low self-esteem. Pisceans are tender and caring, but frequently become the victims of domineering and uncaring partners. They submerge themselves in the experiences of their mates. If their partner is strong and caring, the lucky Piscean will soar to new heights. Conversely, if they find themselves in an unfulfilling relationship, they will prolong the agony--feeling they must deserve the misery—-and assume the role of martyr.
Pisceans do best when involved with a solid personality who will enjoy their romantic fantasies. There is no more loyal and caring lover than a Piscean, but their need for emotional and sensual reassurance sometimes leads to flirtations. Pisceans are the most loving and giving of the signs, their ability to select an inappropriate partner is legendary. In the right relationship, their sexuality will blossom and become something of an art form, especially as they get a little older, more experienced and more confident.
Famous Pisceans Include:
George Washington, Albert Einstein, George Frederick Handel, Elizabeth Taylor, Cindy Crawford, Kurt Cobain, David Gilmour, Gloria Vanderbilt, Gutenberg, Sibil Leek, Ralph Nader, Edgar Cayce, Sidney Poitier, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Ideal Jobs Include:
Pisceans are well-suited to careers as veterinarians, biologists, artists, doctors, musicians, psychologists and mediums.
Lucky Numbers:
12, 21, 39, 48, 57
Planet: Neptune
Star Stone: Moonstone
Element: Water
Most Compatible With: Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces
AQUARIUS Jan. 21 - Feb. 19
Friendly, Humanitarian, Honest, Loyal, Original, Inventive, Independent and Intellectual
Intractable, Contrary, Perverse, Unpredictable, Unemotional and Detached
Aquarians tend to be entrancing, exciting and unpredictable, yet somehow strangely detached from their surroundings. They are one of the zodiac's most eccentric personalities. They are seekers of the new, unusual, and challenging which leads them in many directions. Aquarians may try many things but without stability they may master none. Aquarians are philanthropic and humanitarian by nature. They see their calling as making the world a better place for all of us.
Adventurous Aquarians are not averse to risk taking. Their optimism and positive outlook, combined with idealism and the need to break new ground can lead them into quite unfamiliar territory--not that this bothers them, for they are willing to follow any new lead to its conclusion.
Aquarians are the bearers of originality, idealism and cosmic consciousness-with which they intend to drown materialism and tedium and injustice. Although Aquarians are compassionate and sympathetic to the needs of others, they do like things to go their way. Indeed, they can become very temperamental when things do not go their way. To the Aquarian the freedom to roam and explore is all-important. They hate to be tied down. These iconoclastic visionaries' style often reflects social trends that will become the standard far in our future.
The Aquarian In Love:
One of the Aquarian's deepest needs is for a satisfying, complementary relationship, which gives them freedom and tolerance along with mental and physical stimulation. With the right person they will be a passionate, uninhibited and understanding lover intent on maintaining their bond for life. Receptivity will calm Aquarians' rebellious tendencies. Unlike many, Aquarians rarely feel any pangs of jealousy.
Their sex-drive is not unduly strong, but their need to explore and be stimulated sometimes gives others the impression their desires are unconquerable. They can be very playful and attentive lovers and will put a great deal of energy into satisfying their partners. Aquarians are open to all forms of experimentation (in the pursuit of new knowledge, of course) and the field of sexuality and relationships is no exception. Even though deep down they seek security, their love of originality and exploring unusual new fields of endeavor gives them an attraction for partners with interesting, unconventional minds and bodies.
Famous Aquarians Include:
Charles Darwin, Thomas Alva Edison, Vanessa Redgrave, Frederick Douglas, Oprah Winfrey, Charles Dickens, John McEnroe, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jack Nicklaus, Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Telly Savalas, Virginia Woolf, Babe Ruth, Mia Farrow, Carl Icahn, and Yoko Ono
Ideal Jobs Include:
Aquarians are well-suited to careers as inventors, politicians, writers, scientists, astronauts, artists and astrologers.
Lucky Numbers:
11, 29, 38, 47, 56
Planet: Uranus
Star Stone: Turquoise
Element: Air
Most Compatible With: Gemini, Libra or Aquarius
CAPRICORN Dec. 23 - Jan. 20
Practical, Prudent, Ambitious, Disciplined, Patient, Careful, Humorous and Reserved
Pessimistic, Fatalistic, Miserly, Grudging, Over Conventional and Rigid
Capricorns are ambitious, hard working and never lose sight of their goals. While the pragmatic Capricorn's "one step at a time" approach to getting things done may not be all that interesting, it usually delivers results.
It is not uncommon for Capricorns to be arrogant and overbearing while on their march to success. Of course they will rationalize their behavior by saying a domineering nature is a trait of a born leader. Capricorns are industrious and detail oriented. They are not ones to take risks, which means they often have to wait for success. Being patient and confident they will succeed, the wait for glory is no problem for them.
Capricorns are traditionalist to the point of often seeming a bit stiff and out of sync. They are not ones to wander far from home or chase wild dreams. They are rational and never have bursts of emotions. Sometimes they can be a bit greedy, but their devotion to work and family offsets this easily. Although their ambition may seem limitless, Capricorns never resort to cheating to succeed. When success does come to them, they find it very fulfilling, because they attained it their way.
The Capricorn In Love:
In a relationship, Capricorns are a slow starters, but prove to be explosive performers and long-lasting, loyal companions. They are quite skilled with people, once they overcome their initial reserve.
When aroused, Capricorns are enthusiastic and adventurous in the art of love, but can be possessive and jealous when threatened. Partners can sometimes be overwhelmed by the intensity of their passion, coming as it does from beneath such a cool exterior. In marriage they are loyal, good providers and strive to develop a strong home environment.
Capricorns strive to conceal their vulnerability beneath a confident veneer of ambition and material success, but passionate Mars is always bubbling just below the surface. When the curtain is lifted, the passion flows like lava from an erupting volcano. Indeed, when they are sure of their ground, they delight in living up to the randy reputation of the Goat.
Famous Capricorns Include:
Sir Isaac Newton, Richard Nixon, Louis Pasteur, Edgar Allen Poe, Elvis Presley, Michael Crawford, Phil Spector, Little Richard, Nostradamas, J. R. R. Tolkien, Kepler, David Bowie, Joan Baez, Joan of Arc and Muhammad Ali
Ideal Jobs Include:
Capricorns are well-suited to careers as generals, administrators, ministers, managers, computer wizards and engineers.
Lucky Numbers:
10, 28, 37, 46, 55
Planet: Saturn
Star Stone: Onyx
Element: Earth
Most Compatible With: Taurus or Virgo
SAGITTARIUS Nov. 23 - Dec. 22
Optimistic, Freedom-Loving, Jovial, Good-Humored, Honest, Straightforward, Intellectual and Philosophical
Blindly Optimistic, Careless, Irresponsible, Superficial, Tactless and Restless
While Sagittarians are the nomads of the Zodiac, they do not wander aimlessly. They are seekers of the truth and will go anywhere and talk to anyone for answers to their questions. Knowledge and wisdom drive them and provide the energy for their liberal approach to life. Sagittarians are drawn to the philosophical and spiritual because these subjects provide answers to the questions that burn inside them.
Sagittarians are the intellectuals of the Zodiac. They are lucid thinkers who appreciate others agreeing with their conclusions. Sometimes they are so confident their deductions are beyond dispute they become dogmatic and argumentative. Still, the Sagittarian quest for information drives them to listen to anyone and absorb what they find useful and quickly disregard the rest.
It is the nature of Sagittarians to roam freely. If they feel intellectually or physically restricted they may become bad-tempered very quickly. When Sagittarians are given the freedom they need they are kind, optimistic, lucky and not afraid of taking an occasional risk. They are also a charming lot who can be self-indulgent procrastinators. Overall, Sagittarians allowed the freedom they need are a delight to be around.
The Sagitarian In Love:
Sagittarians love any new form of sexual expression that challenges and excites them. Both tolerant and eager to please, their honesty can sometimes prove too much for those who prefer a more mysterious, or veiled approach to love.
Sagittarians are best involved with a steadier, stronger personality, who can understand their need for independence, yet still be there after an occasional flair of temper. Their frank and open motives are often misunderstood, threatening to more subdued signs.
Although they hate to be tied down, they are willing to experiment with all manner of relationship styles. As long as their partner is able to keep up with their wide-ranging interests and is prepared to come up with new experiments in lovemaking (and certainly does not mind them doing the same), their relationship will be exciting and reasonably long lasting.

SCORPIO Oct. 24 - Nov. 22
Determined, Forceful, Emotional, Intuitive, Powerful, Passionate, Exciting and Magnetic
Jealous, Resentful, Compulsive, Obsessive, Secretive and Obstinate
Intuitive and ever curious, Scorpios are the great investigators of the Zodiac. They want to know everything about everyone. When an answer is needed, a Scorpio will find it for you. Unfortunately Scorpios seem to see only in black and white. They always have their own agenda and never fail to promote it.
Scorpios are the masters of their fate. They know only one way to live: on their own terms. They do not live life but attack it. When life hands them a loss, they do not waste time sulking, but rather continue on their path, sure they will eventually succeed. Scorpios are driven by their intense passions and desires. Often they are seen as imperious.
Scorpios are a secretive lot. Those around them may never know the depth of their passions. Probing the Scorpio psyche will only make them leery and cause them to flee. Whether in business or play, Scorpios love to compete. Indeed to do well, they must have an opponent. Scorpios do not take slights well. If you cross them be assured they will retaliate with their full force. Scorpios never quit and never surrender. If anyone can get a difficult task done it is a Scorpio.
The Scorpio In Love:
Scorpios have a dark and mysterious style which, combined with an irresistible personal magnetism, creates a fascination in members of the opposite sex. They ooze sexual excitement and require a partner who can keep up with their marvelous capacity for taking everything to the limit and far beyond. For Scorpios, emotions run deep, and their faculty of intuition is remarkably accurate, so their antennae can pick out a prospective partner at first sight. They need, however, to keep a part of themselves private and personal. They can react vigorously should a lover trespass in their personal domain.
Scorpios can be unduly domineering in personal relationships, especially should they perceive their partner to be weaker than themselves. Their biggest problem is finding someone who, while strong enough to maintain a tempestuous lifestyle, is interesting enough to remain a challenge. Once they find the right person they will mate for life.
Famous Scorpians Include:
Marie Antoinette, Marie Curie, Martin Luther, Theodore Roosevelt, Bill Gates, Lorne Michaels, Picasso, William Penn, Christopher Columbus, Sally Field, Joni Mitchell, Mohammed, Prince Charles, Goldie Hawn, Roberto Goizueta, and Voltaire

LIBRA Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Diplomaitic, Urbane, Romantic, Charming, Easygoing, Sociable, Idealistic and Peaceable
Indecisive, Changeable, Gullible, Easily Infuenced, Flirtatious and Self-Indulgent
Librans are the Zodiac's seekers of balance, harmony and justice. Librans do best when paired up with others. They do not really care to be alone. Those they pair with can count on them to be fair and avoid conflict if possible.
Often Libras may seem a bit indecisive. This is because in their efforts to be fair they must study every angle of a situation before making a decision. They really are out to do what is best for all. Libras are master strategists and organizers. Librans are friendly, sociable and can charm anyone who engages them in conversation. When bored they quickly become lethargic and may need those around them to supply the spark to get them back on track.
Librans love to know everything about the people around them. They are always diplomatic and not averse to compromise--particularly if it will avoid discord. While Librans may not be team leaders, they can be counted on to plan any project's steps well. Their sense of fairness will also help lessen the number of conflicts that arise between project members. Libra's great gift to us all is we can trust them to be unbiased in their decisions at all times.
The Libra In Love:
Librans love the home and marriage. Time with their lover and family makes them feel complete. To a large extent their love relationship will become their identity. Libras can be very sensual and eager to explore both the spiritual and physical limits of their relationships.
Shaping their relationship and creating entrancing moments is where the Libra focuses its creativity. Their ultimate goal is pleasure and harmony. Libras prefer to be the pursued, rather than pursue. The more attention their mate pours upon them, the happier they will be.
Librans are best involved with a special person who understands their need for romance and their search for the perfect environment. They are co-operative, imaginative and willing to experiment with all manner of relationship styles. The happy Libra is one whose relationship is not simply a coupling, but the joining of two people to go through life as one.
Famous Librans Include:
Eisenhower, Olivia Newtown-John, Sarah Berhardt, Mohandas Gandhi, Franz Liszt, Bruce Springsteen, Brigitte Bardot, Eleanor Roosevelt, Paul Simon, Noah Webster, Ralph Lauren, and Michael Crichton
Ideal Jobs Include:
Librans are well-suited to careers as diplomats, judges, public relations consultants, counsellors, psychologists and artists.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sept. 23
Modest, Shy, Meticulous, Reliable, Practical, Diligent, Intelligent and Analytical
Fussy, A Worrier, Overcritical, Harsh, Perfectionist and Conservative
Instinctively responsive to the needs of others, Virgos readily adapt to different people and changing circumstances by finding ways to make themselves useful. They do not have a desire to be in the spotlight. However, they can be very successful at promoting those who are.
Virgos are meticulous, practical perfectionists. They abhor sloppiness and disorganization. They are sometimes seen as being far too picky. However, when you want a job done right the first time get a Virgo to do it. Some Virgos are not above using an inability to achieve perfection as the excuse for their own idleness and unproductiveness, but this is out of character with their true nature.
Virgos have an inner drive to serve others, which must be met for them to be happy. They love to apply their analytical skills to solving the problems of others. They are generally perceived to be quite witty and entertaining, if a tad too critical. Because Virgos are worriers, they are prone to hypochondria. Virgos love material possessions and find it hard to accept anything that is not of the very best quality available.
The Virgo In Love:
Virgo is particular, practical and realistic rather than romantic. Virgos are slow-burning fuses in the art of lovemaking. Once properly ignited, situations can lead to an explosion of white heat that takes quite a while to cool down. They are, however, very fastidious and critical of the personal habits of others, which can be a big turn-off and prevent them from achieving a fulfilling relationship, or even participating at all in the messy business of involvement.
They are unwilling to discuss their innermost feelings with anyone save a very trusted confidante or lover. Anyone who wishes to get to know them deeply must be prepared to persevere, in which case they will prove a lifelong friend and ally or lover. Once Virgos have committed themselves to a lover, anyone showing interest in their lover is likely to spark a bout of jealousy. Overall, Virgos are devoted and readily willing to serve their mates.
Famous Virgos Include:
Lauren Bacall, Michael Jackson, D. H. Lawrence, Queen Elizabeth I, Sophia Loren, Sean Connery, Lily Tomlin, Raquel Welch, Grandma Moses, Tolstoy, H. L. Mencken, John Coltrane, Pavlov, Warren Buffett and Liliuokalani

LEO July 24 - Aug. 23
Generous, Warmhearted, Creative, Enthusiastic, Broad-Minded, Expansive, Faithful and Loving
Pompous, Patronizing, Bossy, Interfering, Dogmatic and Intolerant
Leo's charisma and innate ability to lead guarantee they will almost always be at center stage--a place where they love to be. Leos are so full of warmth and optimism it is impossible to not find their company pleasurable. Fearless, powerful and dignified by nature, Leos make great leaders. The force of their will guarantees any task they tackle will be completed.
While they may seem domineering, even despotic at times, their goal is always to ensure the well being of all those in their kingdom. Ever-confident Leos are also creative, idealistic and have an indefatigable lust for life. When leadership is required, a Leo is what is needed. They will get the job done right and on time. Leos also have a talent for bringing the very best out in those around them.
Warm-hearted Leos love to have fun, and will go out of their way to make sure those around them are having fun too! Leos love games of all kinds. They are risk takers and will plunge into new ventures on impulse, confident their talents will ensure success. Strong and honorable, optimistic and fun, few will find the Leo's charms easy to resist.
The Leo In Love:
When in love, Leo's love of fun is only outdone by the romantic in them. They are faithful lovers with a passion that may seem too hot to handle! Leos may not always be willing to try new things which did not spring from their own fantasies, but a clever lover may slowly introduce new methods of expressing love to their relationship. Once the Leo realizes they are fun they will be won over.
Leos sometimes cling to bad relationships because their egos will not allow them to admit they may have made a mistake. Also, being forever optimistic, it is impossible for a Leo to see any problem as insurmountable.
Overall, the Leo will prove to be a wonderful mate. Their love of children makes them a natural parent. They are generous, warm and truly want the best for everyone. Their loyalty and sense of honor makes it unlikely they will be indiscrete.
Famous Leos Include:
Mae West, Napoleon Bonaparte, Andy Warhol, Simon Bolivar, George Bernard Shaw, Maxfield Parish, Omar Khayyam, Peggy Fleming, Carl G. Jung, Stanley Kubrick, Mick Jagger, Jackie Onaissis, Charles Schwab, and Arnold Schwarzenegger

CANCER June 22 - July 23
Emotional, Loving, Intuitive, Imaginative, Shrewd, Cautious, Protective and Sympathetic
Changeable, Moody, Overemotional, Touchy, Clinging and Unable To Let Go
The Cancer's first love is its home and family. They love to nurture those around them. No sacrifice is too large to ensure their home is secure and their loved ones are safe and happy. They are very kind and sharing. Cancers are also very moody, and often retreat into themselves to regenerate, or sometimes sulk. The quickest way for them to rebound from such moments is to do what they do best: nurture others.
Cancers can be very iron-willed and like to have things their way. They are very sensitive to slights and hurt easily. When pained Cancers will retreat into themselves and brood. Although generally they do not like confrontation, Cancers are not above seeking revenge against those that hurt them. Cancers are compassionate and freely show their affection for others. They will set their problems aside to assist others in solving theirs. Being extremely intuitive, they often know what is upsetting someone without being told. They are great communicators and can often help those in trouble with just a few words.
Overall, Cancers are quite gregarious. They love to socialize with their friends and family. Their need to care for those in their circle makes them an asset to any family.
The Cancer In Love:
In relationships, Cancers, the most nurturing sign of the zodiac, seek a secure nest. They are best involved with someone who understands their creativity and will accept them for what they are, moods and all. Because their emotions are so powerful, they seek a partner who is stable and responsive, while at the same time understanding of their intermittent need for solitude, alternating with a gregarious desire for companionship and stimulation.
Cancers are protective, even possessive. While not domineering, they can become very jealous lovers when they feel insecure. Although they present a hard shell to the outside world, Cancers are sensitive and caring by nature. As a lover, Cancers seek security and fidelity. Cancers can be deeply wounded if the one they care for betrays their trust (which is never given lightly). Cancers are poetic and romantic and extremely sensual. When with a lover they trust, both they and their mate will flourish.
Famous Cancers Include:
Bill Cosby, Henry VIII, Princess Diana, Mike Tyson, Julius Caesar, Nelson Mandela, Rembrandt, H. Ross Perot, Dan Aykroyd, Geraldo Rivera, Ringo, Buckminster Fuller, Alexander the Great, Estée Lauder, and Marshall McLuhan
Ideal Jobs Include:

GEMINI May 21 - June 21
Adaptable, Versatile, Communicative, Witty, Intellectual, Eloquent, Youthful and Lively
Nervous, Tense, Superficial, Inconsistent, Cunning and Inquisitive
Geminis are curious and intellectual by nature. They are forever exploring people and places in their quest to attain knowledge. Bright, witty and outgoing, the Gemini charm guarantees they will be the center of attention in any crowd. Matching their intellect is a well-developed imagination.
The duality of the Gemini personality can make it difficult to know just whom you are dealing with. They sometimes appear fickle, flighty and susceptible to whim. These traits often make it difficult for Geminis to finish much of what they start. The other side of their dual personalities is they have an innate ability to multi-task, which is good since their interests are many and varied.
The Gemini Intellect is the key to their being, and provides the foundation for their skills in the art of communicating. Geminis are not born leaders and will usually defer that position to another. However, their clear thinking and creativity allow them to contribute positively to any project. While Geminis love to talk, they also make for a great audience. Overall, their light spirit and interest in almost everything make them wonderful company.
The Gemini In Love:
Geminis love intelligent conversation, so the way to the Geminian heart is through the head. The Geminian is best involved with a steadier, stronger personality who will tolerate and enjoy their butterfly socializing, yet still be there for them when the cards have all blown down. They are willing to experiment with all manner of relationship styles; and as long as their partner is articulate, tolerant, exciting, adventurous and willing to discuss their exploits in detail, they will be ecstatic.
Because Gemini is not above straying, they are rather divorce prone. However, typically they think the joys of an occasional adventure more than make up for the risks involved. Geminis are exciting companions who crave excitement and variety. They assume they will be able to easily smooth over troubled waters with their silver tongue--they are tolerant of the peccadilloes of their partners, so long as they are not stolid or boring.
Famous Gemini Include:
H.R.H. Philip (Duke of Edinburgh), Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Bob Hope, John F Kennedy, Walt Whitman, Al Jolson, Bob Dylan, Thomas Hardy, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Stravinsky, Confucius, Kirk Kerkorian and Paul McCartney
Ideal Jobs Include:
Geminis are well-suited to be explorers, writers, merchants, translators, publicists or talk show hosts.

TAURUS April 21 - May 21
Patient, Reliable, Warmhearted, Loving, Persistent, Determined, Placid and Security Loving
Jealous, Possessive, Resentful, Inflexible, Self-Indulgent and Greedy
Taureans love pleasure and material gain. For them the outcome is all that matters, and it only matters if they have gained. They are physically sensual and tender, and love to bask in excess. Their ultimate pursuit is "the good life" in every sense of the phrase.
Like the bull that represents them, Taureans are often seen as stubborn. However, what some see as stubbornness is actually the Taurean's will to stay their chosen course to reach their goals. Bulls are pragmatic and dependable, and left to trudge along at their own speed usually attain that which they seek.
Being born in the House of Venus, it really should come as no surprise these self-indulgent pleasure seekers are also great lovers of the arts and all things beautiful. They need to be surrounded by beauty to be happy. Taureans also value tradition, stability and loyalty. At times they may be very sentimental, emotional. Conversely, there is nothing impractical about the slightly conservative Taurean. They are not risk takers. Nor are they likely to fall for get rich quick schemes. While the ways of the stable Taurean may not suit others, they ensure these Bulls will find the earthly rewards they seek.
The Taurean In Love:
Taureans are deeply romantic and very loyal. They value the harmony a happy home life creates. They will go to extremes to keep their mate happy, which, when it comes to love, is no sacrifice to the sensuous Bull. The Taurean need for the good life is equaled by their need to share that life with someone special.
Sexually, Taureans are straightforward and down-to-earth. A no-nonsense approach is favored and too much verbalizing or complex fantasizing is not a Taurean trait. This does not mean they are not capable of feeling love. Indeed, the depth of a Taurean's passion may not be understood by others. Music or other forms of sensual, non-verbal expression will strike a chord in the Taurean nature. Very faithful to friends and family, Taureans prefer long-lasting relationships and seek to build strong alliances, although they can be misled by their sensual natures, especially when young.
Famous Taureans Include:
Fred Astaire, Sigmund Freud, William Shakespeare, Barbara Streisand, Malcolm X, Leonardo de Vinci, Willie Nelson, Orson Welles, Katharine Hepburn, George Lucas, William Hewlett, Cher and Adolf Hitler.
Ideal Jobs Include:
Taureans are well-suited to be bankers, artists, accountants, musicians, gardeners or any profession that requires patience, determination and a strong beauty aesthetic.

ARIES March 21 - April 20
Adventurous, Energetic, Pioneering, Courageous, Enthusiastic, Confident, Dynamic and Quick-Witted
Selfish, Quick-Tempered, Impulsive, Impatient, Foolhardy and a bit of a Daredevil
Arians see themselves as consummate leaders. While they are excellent at initiating and overseeing projects, don't rely on them to be down in the pits actually getting the work done. Arians are not afraid of being on the cutting edge of things. Energetic Arians love the opportunities and challenges each new day brings.
Arians are blunt and outspoken--often to the point that more sensitive souls around them will become alienated. Arians are intrepid and aggressive. When needed, they can almost always muster the inner-strength to face any challenge. Always competitive, Arians never lose sight of what is in their best interest.
Arians are often inclined to be egotistical and domineering. They much prefer action to allowing things to settle on their own. They are never afraid to take chances or follow their impulses. When their actions fail to produce the expected results, they still pride themselves on at least trying. They love exploring new ground. Indeed they expect to be first to go anywhere new. While Arians may not be for everyone, their courage and willingness to initiate action make them an asset to any team project.
The Arian In Love:
When Arians want to, they can be very charming and hard to resist by the opposite sex. People born under the Aries sign need to harness their powerful energies, or even rein them in a little, so those with whom they would like to spend time are not overwhelmed by their advances.
In a relationship, Arians assume the role of motivator and want to be control. The Aries driving force compels those born under its influence to become the leading light in any co-operative venture. Sometimes it seems they want to defeat their partners, not love them.
Arians are enthusiastic and adventurous lovers. They will always want to push to take their lovemaking to new plateaus. Their partners can sometimes be overwhelmed by this spirited approach. Arians love to experiment and to take things to the limit, so, roll over Kama Sutra, the Arian lover is re-writing it all from scratch!
Famous Aries Include:
Charlie Chaplin, Marlon Brando, Bette Davis, Thomas Jefferson, Houdini, Wilhelm Reich, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Gloria Steinem, Leonard Nimoy, Cy Young, W. C. Fields, James Clark, and Otto von Bismarck.
Ideal Jobs Include:
Aries is well-suited to become a fire-fighter, surgeon, mechanic, dentist, professional athlete and entrepreneur.

text: So basically, let's start off with the basics... I've got a Droid 3(dur), Rubix ROM(note that this has a preinstalled battery mod*1% increments*), and I'm using a 3500mAh extended battery. Before, when I was using the stock battery(right when I got the Rubix ROM) I noticed that the battery would go down to 1% a bit too soon.. it would die maybe 5 minutes while being on 1% and right when it reached 10% it would automatically drop down to 5% and then 4% immediately after. So, I bought an extended battery, and the percentage drops down to 1% even quicker than my standard battery would. I did a lot of googling and research, and I found out about battery calibration. Tried this several times and failed. But one time I improvised on a method I found. I had my battery charged to 40%(incorrect percentage my phone was showing), and I turned it off and plugged in the charger to boot into charge mode. It showed 40%. I took out the battery and my phone booted into CWM, I rebooted after clearing the battery stats. I rebooted my phone after doing that and it booted into charge mode with the "?". I put in the battery, and nothing happened, so I unplugged the charger and plugged it back in, and it booted into charge mode again and it showed 70%(the actual percentage of my battery)... So everything is great, right? Wrong.. I use my phone for about 15 minutes and the charge drops to 69% (from 70) and next thing you know, the percentage drops to 49%... So back to how it was before with the incorrect percentages.. After that, clearing battery stats and the same/different method(s) have not worked.. I have also tried flashing the battery mod directly, that hasn't fixed anything either. I am typing this up from school on my phone, and my phone has shown 1% battery for the past 2 hours. Any comments, or help, would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris.

Manager Martin Jol and captain Brede Hangeland are pleased to have landed in Costa Rica and are keen to use the games to prepare for the new Barclays Premier League season.
Jol's men play C.S. Cartagines on Sunday, before taking on Bryan Ruiz's old club L.D. Alajuelense on Wednesday and then a match against Deportivo Saprissa next Saturday sees them finish the tour.
"We expect to play three very good games, for us it is wonderful to be here," Jol said. "The facilities are good, we started training today and tomorrow we have two sessions and we play the first game on Sunday."
When asked about our Costa Rica international, Ruiz, and whether he would play much of a part in the games with the national side in CONCACAF Gold Cup action this week, Jol added: "It's nice for Bryan that we are here and he will be in the first two games. We will have to speak to Bryan though because we have just seen him today, he will see our medical team and make an assessment and if Bryan is fit I don't see a problem, of course he won't play 90 minutes but most of the guys in the first two games won't play 90 minutes.
"We will play with 22 players at least, we have 25 players with us which include a few youngsters but you will see all the players we have. We have three new signings with us and they join our existing players."
"You know Bryan as well as I do, in Costa Rica you must love him as he is one of our better players. Next year he will prove that again because he had a very good season last season."
Captain Brede Hangeland is also pleased to have made the trip to Costa Rica and is looking forward to getting a good welcome from the fans.
"It's very nice, we've only been here a few hours and we are happy and Bryan is a happy and nice guy so we expect everyone in Costa Rica to be the same," he said. "We can't wait to get going with training and the matches. Whenever we play we always try to do our best but we are probably not at our highest level at the moment as we have not long started pre-season. We'll do our very best and hopefully put on some good matches for the people to watch.
"The most important thing is that we have just come back to pre-season and it's the start of the preparations of a very long and hard Premier League season once again, so it's important for us to get that fitness back and we are going to play three really good teams. So we are expecting a good camp and great preparation for the new season.
"I have, in the past, played against some teams from this part of the world and I've always found them to be very good with technically gifted players with a good work ethic. We expect tough games and hopefully they will be good for the fans to watch."

For six years, Lauren Book-Lim was tortured by the woman she both feared and trusted -- her nanny. Waldina Flores ruled the little Florida girl's life, alternately showering her with affection and then beating and raping her.
The molestation began when Book-Lim was 11. Angry that she was chewing gum, the woman whom the little girl affectionately called "Waldy" stuck her tongue in the little girl's mouth to remove it.
The abuse escalated from there, whenever the little girl did not cooperate.
"She used objects or hands or whatever she could get," Book-Lim, now 24, told ABCNews.com. "She pushed me down the stairs. And at one point she defecated on me."
In 2002, at the age of 17, she broke away from Flores, who was ultimately sentenced to 25 years for her sex crimes.
But today, Book–Lim has come face to face with her demons and her conscience, helping homeless sex offenders at Miami's notorious Julia Tuttle Causeway find a legal place to live.
There, scores of convicted molesters live in rat-infested squalor because of child protection laws Book-Lim helped to enact -- ordinances that prohibit sex offenders from living within 2,500 feet of schools and playgrounds.
Advocating For Children, Not Predators
Book-Lim is convinced that if sexual predators live in inhumane conditions, they are an even greater danger to children.
"We don't want anyone living under a bridge to be so desperate they reoffend," said Book-Lim.
"She wants to heal as many people as she possibly can," said her father, Ron Book, who shares his daughter's work as a board member of the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust. "She is so special, she makes me cry."
The first day volunteering on the job, Book-Lim said she felt "smacked in the face" when she met a man had molested an 8-year-old.
"I had a hard time reconciling this in my head," said Book-Lim. "But I want to prevent it from happening to other children. Yes, they are sex offenders, but that doesn't mean they have to live like this."
"I grew up to trying to help others," she said. "My Dad used to say, the least, the last and forgotten of our society -- it's our job to take care of them."
Nanny Preys on Docile Daughter
Book-Lim knows first-hand about those who are vulnerable. The oldest and most docile of three children, she was targeted by the Honduran nanny who came to live in their family's Miami home.
"I was a people pleaser," she said. "I always eat my peas and make everyone quiet and happy."
While Flores ignored her feistier younger sister, who is now 22, she preyed on Book, forcing her to have sex in bathrooms and closets as the other children slept.
"I was beaten every day," she said. "Waldy was very smart, like all predators are. She hit me and bruised me where my parents wouldn't look. When you are 13 and 14, parents never look at their children's stomachs or lower backs or butts or upper thighs."
Like many victims of sexual abuse, Book was afraid to tell her parents. Yet they worried about her increasing withdrawal and depressive mood, sending her to a therapist.
The abuse escalated when Book found a boyfriend – now her husband Kris Lim -- and Flores became fiercely jealous. The nanny even threatened to kill him.
Boyfriend: 'Tell Nanny or I Will'
When they were seniors in high school, Lim saw the bruises and learned the truth. He gave her an ultimatum -- tell her parents or he would.
"He believed in me and was on my side," she said. "I knew I needed to tell them, but I didn't know how. She was an adult and much bigger, and it had gone on so long, I didn't know if I could do it."
Book's father was a prominent Florida lobbyist and she worried about publicly embarrassing him. And Flores' psychological pull was strong.
"I was scared and confused," said Book-Lim. "She provided a shower curtain around my life. I didn't have to see any terrible things because she took care of the problems, which made her seem really appealing because you have someone who is listening to you, someone who loves you, who is there for you and has not left.''
Flores even gave the girl an engagement ring and promised they would marry.
"I was delusional at the time," said Book-Lim. "You are on another planet, just to survive it."
Nanny Molester Found Coaching Girls' Soccer
In 2002, Book-Lim confessed to her therapist who, in turn, called in her parents. Her father immediately fired Flores, who absconded to Oklahoma. She was apprehended a month later while coaching soccer to 10-year-old girls.
"She was a true pedophile grooming another child to be abused," said Book-Lim.
While in prison, Flores violated a court order and wrote love letters to Book-Lim and asked for money, earning her another 10 years on top of her 15-year sentence.
In the aftermath of the arrest, Book became anorexic, dropping to 85 pounds and suffering near organ failure.
"Other than death or your kid disappearing and you don't find them again, sexual abuse is the worst nightmare a parent can endure," said her father Ron Book, who burst into tears when he learned of molestation. "To this day, I have never read the police reports all the way through."
"You can choose to cripple yourself or you can be strong and take control of the situation," he said. "You've got to be strong, get some backbone and lead."
Slowly, in new therapy and with the legislative clout of her father, Book-Kim began to heal.
Ron Book introduced his daughter to every state legislator in his rolodex. Together they fought for the right to get 48-hour access to HIV test results on predators, as well as a protection act banning molesters from ever contacting the victims or their families.
Victim Heals Through Helping Others
In addition to passing residence restrictions and extending cyber sex laws, they established a funding mechanism for a state-wide network of treatment centers.
"I think that fact that she got involved was critical to her recovery," said Stephen Levin, the therapist who broke the shocking news to Book-Lim's parents. "She doesn't feel like only a victim and she is doing something positive to help other people."
"She had the support of her parents and she was able to talk about it, and her boyfriend was so supportive and encouraged her," he told ABCNews.com.
Last summer, she married Kris Lim, a professional golfer. While he travels, she runs her foundation, Laurens' Kids, teaching sex abuse prevention to children in grades K-2 and reinforcing the message, "It's OK to tell."
"It took a lot of guts to do what she did and what she is doing now," said Lim. "I have been there the whole time and seen the worst of the worst psychologically to helping children every day. "
"Now she is under the bridge with sex offenders," he told ABCNews.com. "She could never do that before. She couldn't even leave the house. I am amazed at how much progress she has made."
"She is a true survivor to have gone through that at such a young age and yet wake up every morning and relive that bad stuff just to help kids," said Lim. "No matter how she tries to forget, it's still a part of her."
Her father is also impressed, although at first he was opposed to his daughter working with sex offenders. Since last August, they have found housing for 42 of the 100 men at the Julia Tuttle Causeway and more placements are underway.
"She wants to make sure this place is closed down," said Book. "She has taken this personally and she is the one who went through this. Far be it from me to tell her as an advocate that she shouldn't feel that way."
Both still strongly support registration of sex offenders and residency restrictions, saying they work, even if the homeless men at Julia Tuttle resent their work.
"They know who we are and don't like use very much," she said. "I wouldn't consider myself advocating for them. These people harmed children, and I don't think they can dictate where they get to live."
"Some of them say they are victims and it's not their fault," said Book-Lim, who admits she'll be in therapy for the rest of her life. "But guess what? I was given a life sentence. This person murdered my childhood. I walk through a life that is broken."

Today's topic in our week-long series on What America Wants from the Postal Service considers ways in which the Postal Service could generate revenue to sustain its operations. The Postal Service's future financial health depends on its ability to generate revenue, as well as cut costs (yesterday's blog topic). In the larger debate about reinventing the Postal Service's business model, the topic of allowing the Postal Service to offer non-postal products and services frequently emerges.
Non-postal products and services might help the Postal Service continue to meet Americans' needs in a world increasingly reliant on digital communications. Non-postal services could also contribute to the Postal Service's bottom line through additional revenue, helping it cover the costs associated with providing universal service. Of course, the issue of non-postal services also concerns some people that feel that offering non-postal products creates unfair competition for the private sector.
Opportunities for the Postal Service include providing access to government services, such as licenses and permits, allowing for collection of social benefits, or providing options for bill pay at Post Office locations. These types of government services are not too dissimilar from services already available from the Postal Service, such as passport applications.
Results of our web-based survey of 5,000 Internet-connected Americans aged 18 years and older indicated that nearly half of respondents expressed interest in having more services available at the Post Office. Most of these respondents were particularly interested in accessing government services such as driver's license renewal services, request for permits or licenses, or paying bills.

Was in the petstore the other day (yeah I know..dangerous place for an animal lover like me). they had these teeny tiny hedgehogs.They claimed they were not babies, but more like teenager age...but I think they were babies. Anyways...I was wondering if anyone on here has owned one, what thier care is like..ect? Just out of curiosity. I went to pick one up . it jumped, and put its spikes up. I jumped because i wasnt expecting it, and I drew back a bloody finger. OWIE! although...compared to the birdbites I've gotten..no big. But..I wonder...how do you get around the "not so cuddlyness" of them"..as I am a petter and a cuddler. If I cant "pet" it...or ..mess with it..I'm not sure I want it. But I am morbidly curious over them..as people swear they make great pets.
I also HELD a groundhog. REALLY. I did. It actually went to sleep in my arms. Have no intention of bringing one home as they like to "escape" thier dwelling and I could just see one of our "dach" having a groundhog "snack". But..anyways.
hedgehog anyone???
I do believe that what you saw were the domesticated African Pygmy hedgehog which has been bred for the pet industry for many years now.
Quite a while ago I had 3 of them and enjoyed them, but it is wise to get a youngster that you can more easily work with. A bit of handling every evening would go a long way in having a hedgie become more tame.
They like to sleep alot during the day, and love to have a large place to forage.
During warmer weather a plastic kiddie pool works fine indoors because it gives lots of space.
These animals sometimes get skin mites which we used to treat with ivermectin.
They love to eat LIVE insects, crunching on June bug beetles, mealworms, etc.
A daily base food is usually something like a low fat-high quality cat kibble, supplemented with bits of fruit and veg.
I'm sure there is more up to date info on web sites.
Hedgies can live for a few years, make fun pets and are quiet, no fur shedding either.
Please have pets spayed and neutered,
and wearing a collar with an ID tag.
I did do a bit of googling after posting this. It seems there are several "hedgie" enthusiasts out there. People claim they make really lovely pets, and that you can make them guite tame and "cuddly" (well as cuddly as something with spikes can be...lol) with time and patience.
I'm going to research and THINK on it awhile.
I'm sure cost wise its feasable. as they seem to be fairly low maintance (from what I"ve read so far). I think my only "issue' is I'd rather get one from a "breeder" and not a pet store...as they are more reputable and they are more "handled" than the petstores.
But..I'm not sure if there are any in this area. . We'll see. I'll keep ya posted.
UM. Scratch that. I stand corrected. Apparently they are not as "easy" as I first read. I've been reading for the last few hours...and according to a few other "enthusiasts" they are not as cheap or easy as one would think.
Still "thinking" on it.
LOL...but definatly not as 'excited" about the idea now.
I'm pretty full attention and money wise with the five pups.
Hedgies do make wonderful animal companions. When they are used to you those quills no longer stand up and are quite pleasant to touch. Their undersides are covered with a soft fur and their faces are to die for.
They are more of an intermediate pet. Not something for someone who has never cared for a companion animal before.
Cost wise they aren't bad. You'll spend more on them then you would on a hamster, but it isn't unreasonable either. It depends on the type of shavings you decide to keep him/her on as well as how much fresh food you decide to give.
Their feces is moist and they don't tend to be overly tidy, so you'll have to do a full clean of the cage more often.
If you haven't already read it, be sure if you do decide to get one that you get a plastic wheel. They tend to injure themselves on the metal wheels commonly used for pocket pets. Saucer wheels or plastic Chinchilla wheels are much safer for Hedgie use.
Hedgies have different personalities. So if you do decide to get one go to multiple breeders if thats what it takes. Find one that doesn't take long to uncurl(if it does ball up when you pick it up), also check the quills. They shouldn't move too easily, as well if you lightly pull on them they shouldn't pull out (if they do check if there is a folicle on the end, if there is a follicle and it is a young Hedgie its probably just quilling) Check the eyes and nose for discharge.
I don't know if any of this info was helpful to you. You've probably already read all this since you've been doing some research, but I figured it couldn't hurt
Thank you digston.
You gave some very good insight and are correct on your info. I found a hegie website with all and more of the info you suggested and am very in love with the "idea" of the hedgie...but not so sure on the "work" and the "vet costs" should hedgie get sick or need extra "time" ect. If I didnt have but one pup, and so forth..i'd be getting a hedgie TODAY..lol. But...I'm realistic..that I want to spend TIME with a pet I have, and have the PROPER equipment to care for it ect. Money contraints and time contraints ect..right now would make me a "midway" parent to a hedgie right now instead of a "great" hedgie parent.
I feel it wouldnt be in his/her best interest at THIS time right now.
Later on..maybe.
But for now..we've got our hands full.
We've had hamsters in the past...and quite frankly were delighted in thier personality's. So if a hedgie has half thier personality. I look forward to maybe one day in the future adding a hedgie to the clan.
But for now..I'll just have the doxies..and the outside kitty and possum. HA!
I owned and rescued hedgies for years, they are great pets, loving, clingy, the kids loved them, feeding them was easy, cleaning even easier (litter trained) and the "snuffling" sound they'd make when up against your neck was heaven sent *S*.
