Number of U.S. Kids Injured on Halloween Is Scary
Children at 4 times the risk of being hit by a car on Oct. 31 than any other night, experts warn
SUNDAY, Oct. 9, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Children are four times more likely to be hit by a car on Halloween night than on any other night of the year, according to experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In addition, the researchers warned that eye trauma from sharp objects and burns from flammable costumes are also common Halloween injuries.
"Children should be out having fun and spending time with family and friends. They should not have to spend Halloween in the ER because of some injury that could have been easily prevented," Dr. Sandra Schneider, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians, said in an ACEP news release.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 40 million kids aged 5 to 14 will be keeping up the tradition of knocking on doors on Halloween.
When planning for the big night, the ACEP offers the following tips to adults to help them protect kids from frightful injuries:
- Local community centers, shopping malls or schools should be encouraged to organize Halloween festivities that allow kids to "trick-or-treat" without walking outside in the dark.
- If kids do go out at night, make sure they stick to the sidewalks and obey traffic signals.
- Remind children to stay together in a group with at least one adult chaperone.
- Be sure children are aware of the potential dangers from strangers, and remind them to stay in familiar areas.
- Avoid masks that block children's vision and costumes that could cause them to trip, such as baggy pants and high heels.
- Make sure costume fabrics and accessories are made of flame-resistant materials, such as nylon or polyester.
- Keep kids away from candlelit Jack-O-Lanterns.
- Inspect all candy before children eat it and dispose of anything not in a sealed wrapper.
- Bring a flashlight while trick-or-treating to increase visibility.
- Costume accessories, such as wands and swords, should be made from safe, flexible materials and not have any sharp edges.

When Susan started receiving threatening messages on her MySpace account, she knew she'd made a mistake.
Recently, a friend of mine, let's call her Susan, started receiving threatening messages on her MySpace account. Strange, morbid notes were sent implying actions against her friends, mixed with frightening admissions of worship and adoration. Then the text messages started.
It turned out that Susan had inadvertently added this cyberstalker to her friends list, giving the person access to her private MySpace page. Susan also has the unfortunate habit of putting some personal information on her site. She would answer harmless looking bulletins, posting her parent's names or how many siblings she has. She would post pictures of her and her friends at recognizable local places. The threatening person was able to use the information on Susan's site to make it seem like he/she knew all about her. Everything about her. Susan didn't really know who he was.
So my question: how does anyone know who they are really communicating with online? And how do we control what information we do put online? These are not new questions, not in the least, but ones that still need debate.
Recent research by the software company Sophos revealed that 41 percent of people using the social networking site Facebook gave out personal information to a made-up profile, the picture of which was a giant green toy frog. One person even went so far as to divulge their mother's maiden name. Putting personal information on the Internet is like painting the combination to the safe on the side of the store.
If a 22-year-old can't tell who the people are she's allowing access to her MySpace site, how can younger kids?
And what are these kids supposed to do when someone starts threatening them? Susan took down her page, reported the person to MySpace, changed her cell phone number, and called the local police. The police told Susan not to worry about the threats -- that about 98 percent of them are just jerks trying to mess with other people for kicks (MySpace, however, took down the profile of the person making the threats). But what about that other two percent of threats? If my friend hadn't taken it seriously, if she'd said, "Oh well, I'm in no danger, it's probably nothing," would we have found her dead in an alleyway somewhere?
Many people do not realize that the atmosphere on much of the Internet is like a scene from a Sergio Leone movie. The wide open spaces may look pristine and ready for development, but who knows who may be riding over the next bluff.
Even the British House of Lords passed a bill recently calling the Internet "the Wild West."
Children and their parents must, I repeat must, understand that locking your doors in not enough to keep kids safe anymore. And locking your computers may not be either. Education is the key. Teach children safe practices for online use. Help them learn to spot the dangerous alleyways of that Internet boomtown. They need to learn who the law is, and who the desperados are.
Web site after Web site offers valuable information for children, teens and parents on how to stay safe on the Internet. The site ikeepsafe.org, for example, expresses this very idea in ways that children can understand. In a video, a cat called 'Faux Paw' has to be taught not to be fooled by what looks like fun. Much like Pleasure Island in Pinocchio, the cat is lured by tempting, fun activities into dangerous Internet situations -- much like the temptation to add anonymous "friends" on social networking sites.
Perhaps the unfortunate thing is that most educational materials are geared towards
children and teens, the people who have grown up using computers. How do we get the word out to young adults and even older adults? We have to deal with protecting bank account numbers, credit cards and our Social Security numbers, as well as the cyberstalkers. If Susan had been paying better attention to the type of information she put on her site, the cyberstalker might not have been able to find her.
It is true that things have settled down somewhat; yes, we have started breathing regularly again; but my friend had to change her cell phone number. She is still hesitant to leave her house in case he found out where she lives. She constantly looks behind her as she walks from her car to her work -- watching for today's Wild West villain.

Blazusiak vs. Brown – Two KTM Giants Take EnduroCross Down to the Wire
OutdoorHub 11.21.13
KTM goes to the final round of the 2013 AMA Geico EnduroCross championships with two of its riders poised to take the competition down to the wire in Las Vegas. KTM factory riders Taddy Blazusiak (Poland) and teammate Mike Brown from the USA are equal leaders with 130 points each. The stage is set for a winner takes all at the end of the 2013 season.
Blazusiak has been the pre-eminent rider in this discipline that brings the thrill of Enduro sport into the arena and accessible to increasingly enthusiastic audiences. The 30-year-old Polish rider's reputation and skill is already well documented. He has been unchallenged in the EnduroCross championship since 2008, is a multiple SuperEnduro/Indoor Enduro title holder and has a record five victories in the daunting Erzberg Rodeo Red Bull Hare Scramble. But in 2013 as the sport continues to gain in popularity, Blazusiak increasingly became the rider with a target on his back as other challengers moved up the ranks. In the six rounds so far he has 2 x wins, 2 x second places and 2 x fourth places but he goes into this weekend pumped with confidence after a resounding victory in the opening round of the European-based FIM SuperEnduro series in Liverpool, UK.
But when the gate drops in the Orleans Arena on Saturday night, Taddy's fiercest rival will also come from the 'Orange Army' in the form of veteran racer Mike Brown of the FMF/KTM Off-Road Racing Team. The 41-year-old Brown is royalty in the US offroad racing scene and this season he has matched Blazusiak every step of the way on the EnduroCross tracks. He too has two wins, two seconds and two fourth places to his credit as the two go head-to head this weekend.
Brown has been a regular in the US national ISDE team and a dominant force for years in the US WORCS series. He has been a member of the KTM lineup for the various Baja series and an X-Games EnduroX gold medalist. Brown has been in blistering form in EnduroCross this year and will give no ground as far as the Polish pretender is concerned.
Brown goes to the event with his name on the top of the standings because of his sequence of results so far this season but in reality there is nothing between the two KTM riders – either in points or skill on their respective KTM machines. The only other two competitors who are in with a chance to spoil the KTM showdown are US riders Cody Webb and Coulton Haaker with 110 and108 points respectively. Stay tuned for a great final round.

Is it possible for the living to contact the dead?
Capilano University psychologist Leonard George was determined to find out.
The noted author and researcher travelled to upstate New York — to the global centre of Spiritualism, a religion that emerged in the 19th century and is based on the belief that humans can connect with the spirits of the deceased.
"I wanted to go to where it all began. I wondered what it would feel like to be a medium. What better way to find out than to sign up (for a course)," said George, a former clinical psychologist at Vancouver General Hospital who has a PhD from the University of Western Ontario.
George will reveal some of the "amazing" and "shocking" things he discovered about being a medium, and the existence of a possible spirit world, in a Halloween lecture at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, sponsored by the Capilano University Psychology Students Society.
George's talk — entitled The Medium's Apprentice: A Psychologist Explores Spiritualism from the Inside — will delve into the mysterious world associated with crystal balls, seances, ESP, hypnosis and even physical levitation. George, a self-described skeptical psychologist, is also aware spiritualism has often been linked with fakery and fraud. So he wanted to get to the bottom of things.
It is fitting his lecture is being presented on Halloween because it is also the night known as Samhain — when neo-pagans believe, as George says, "the membrane between the two worlds (of the living and dead) is thinnest."
History of spiritualism
Before describing the conclusions George reached about whether he was able to communicate with the dead, some background information is in order.
Small spiritualist congregations continue to meet throughout Metro Vancouver and many parts of the world.
There is a long history of spiritualism in Canada, the U.S., Britain and Russia. Canada's longest-serving prime minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, owned a crystal ball and regularly travelled to Detroit to see a medium.
Other famous supporters of the kind of parapsychological phenomenon associated with spiritualism include writers Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Mark Twain, psychotherapists Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, scientists David Bohm and Thomas Edison, literary figures William Blake and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and philosopher William James.
For his journey deep into the parapsychological, George travelled to the small town of Lily Dale in New York State, near the Canadian border. "It's the oldest and largest spiritualist community in the world."
The region of upstate New York has been known since the early 1800s as a land of free speech, free love, women's rights and, especially, free religious expression, George said. Lily Dale is not far from where Joseph Smith founded Mormonism in 1823.
In this modern-day home of spiritualism, George and about a dozen others studied with the well-known medium Judith Rochester, who has a PhD in philosophy from the University of Toronto.
Although she is an expert on the respected German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rochester is now more renowned for her talent at developing people's gifts to communicate with spirits of the dearly departed.
Rochester counts herself part of the tradition of mediums, channellers, mesmerists and mentalists who became famous in New York in the mid-1800s for their apparently remarkable ability to communicate with spirits. Some of the more well-known were Maggie and Katie Fox, Jeremiah Carter, Andrew Jackson Davis and Daniel Dunglas Home.
George made his pilgrimage to Lily Dale after publishing two related books, The Encyclopedia of Heresies and Heretics and Alternative Realities: the Paranormal, the Mystic and the Transcendent in Human Experience.
Since he retains a scientific mindset, George seeks evidence for the unexplained. He teaches courses on abnormal psychology (for example, mental illness) and biological psychology (e.g.: neuroscience). His office is jammed with conventional books on psychology.
He also has a small skull on display in his small office, which looks out on towering North Vancouver evergreens. The skull reminds him of "memento mori," which is Latin for how our time on Earth "is limited."
There is on the wall, in addition, a poster of his favourite philosopher, the Second Century Syrian known as Iamblichus, an admirer of Plato's theories about the nature of reality and divinity.
High moral standards
What did George end up discovering about modern-day spiritualism? The first thing he realized was that the New York spiritualists conveyed "100 per cent sincerity."
The Capilano University psychologist was impressed with the commitment, kindness and integrity that Rochester and others in Lily Dale brought to their psychic communications.
"It's a religion. It's the foundation of their lives," he said. Their faith rejects the concept of hell and holds out the "wildly optimistic" belief that people who die will enter a blissful realm, like heaven, that they call Summerland.
But the spiritualists' high moral standards, and apparent complete rejection of trickery of any kind, did not begin to constitute any sort of scientific proof for George that they could speak to dead people.
George's mind was not shut, however. In his career as a psychologist he has regularly employed hypnosis. And nearly all his life he has meditated, been intrigued by parapsychology — the study of psychic events — and followed his dreams.
During his training as what he calls "a baby medium" under Rochester, George entered a mild trance in which some dream images he has had all his life suddenly became extremely vivid.
Since he was a young man in Ontario, George has had a recurring numinous, or spiritual, dream of "looking up at mysterious lights in the sky that seem to have an intelligence." But those lights became even more remarkable when he went into an altered state of consciousness in Lily Dale.
"I had an experience of rising up. I was perched on a mountain and the lights were right in front of me. These lights communicated that they were my spirit guides. It was quite shocking."
In another trance, George had a connection with his father, who died in 1982.
Following a sense of being buried alive, powerful images arose inside George of his father sitting on a marble bench; calm, talkative and reassuring. "It was one of the weirdest things that ever happened to me."
Things really took a turn toward "otherworldly geography," however, when George began to practice psychic readings.
He did a reading for a female student whom he had never before met. In an altered state as he contemplated the woman's soul, George sensed images of a short dark woman in a storm-tossed house covered with Christmas ornaments, whose name may have been Mabel or Annabel.
When George told the woman about the images that emerged during her reading, she responded that when she had been a child in the poor rural U.S., high winds would often knock out the family's water supply.
So the woman would walk through the forest to obtain water from a black woman named Mabel, who decorated her house year-round with Christmas ornaments.
"When she said that my hair was standing up. It's standing up right now," George said, sitting at his desk. "It seemed so accurate to me. I didn't have anything to say for hours after that."
Had he been experiencing genuine clairvoyance, the psychic ability to see or hear realities not normally captured by sensory experience?
A resolution, of sorts
The scientific reductionistic world view that dominates in academia stipulates that the universe is like a machine made up of solid parts: there can be can be no such thing as clairvoyance, ESP and such.
But a minority viewpoint among philosophers and scientists holds out for a world view known as panexperientialism, which suggests all living things have some elements of mind — and that psychic phenomena are possible.
As a longtime admirer of the American philosopher, psychologist and panexperientialist William James, George cited the Harvard professor's dictum in support of paranormal experiences — that it only takes the discovery of one white crow to prove that not all crows are black.
Weighing the various philosophical options, George reflected hard on whether his image of a black woman named Mabel, of his father on a marble bench and of celestial lights as his spirit guides provided evidence of an afterlife.
They had a strong personal resonance, for certain. But was George ultimately convinced that it is possible to communicate with spirits of dead people?
"I didn't cross the Rubicon," was his answer.
He has not adopted spiritualist metaphysics since his summer apprenticeship as a medium. And he did not come away feeling he had "scientific proof" humans can psychically connect with people, including beings in an afterlife.
But that doesn't mean he is not open to the possibility. "There is an unseen reality," George said confidently.
"But I'm not committed to what spiritualists say it is."
He was, however, convinced most spiritualists are having meaningful experiences that provide what he calls "personal proof" of another realm. These experiences tend, he noted, to make them more confident and resilient than most people.
Building on some of the themes about the parapsychological that he touches on in his Halloween lecture, George is planning to offer a unique psychology course called Concepts of the Imagination in the fall of 2013.
One thing George will propose during the credit course will be that people who employ their spiritual imaginations are "actually making contact with something real," which could include parapsychological phenomena.
When people in the everyday world develop a relationship with the realm of the unseen, George said, it is almost inevitable that "sparks will fly" – just as they do when two sticks are rubbed together.
"There is something that is of us — and not of us. It's impossible to disengage the two. I think, instead of debunking the mystery, we should be humbled by it."

One of the more inane ways to review an automobile is to lambaste the machine for something it was never designed to be. Carping about how a Lancer Evolution rides harshly, or has a budget interior is an example of this phenomenon. Tom McCahill wouldn't pull such shenanigans, and neither will we. With that bit of reflexivity out of the way, we'll now get into a Kia Rondo. We admit that we first liked the Rondo solely because of its racy if not somewhat humorous moniker. Almost instantly, and amid exclamations of space wagons, we thought anything named Rondo simply had to be good. As it turns out the spacey wagon is good. In order to reach this conclusion we tested Rondo by using it for its intended purpose of moving people around. To pay tribute to Rondo's country of manufacture, we rolled these same people to as many Los Angeles area Korean BBQ establishments we could get to inside of a week. Read on for driving and BBQ impressions.
Soot Bull Jeep
Our first stop brought us down into Koreatown. On board was our own Jonny Lieberman and neighbor Zak Hawthorne. We put Zak into the rear seat by virtue of his over six-foot tall stature. It was Zak that figured out the split rear seats not only were worthy of a space wagon, but also had their own adjustment tracks like the front seats. Bonus, Rondo! The Rondo handled the mean streets of downtown Los Angeles with no surprises, even during quasi-emergency maneuvers avoiding drivers performing random left and right darts. Once we actually found the legendary Soot Bull Jeep we waited merely a few minutes before being seated and ordering a full compliment of beefs, shrimps, and eels. Soot Bull Jeep features genuine wood charcoal smoking action underneath the in table grille, which imparts a lasting and tasty flavor into the meats. This same smoke also fills the restaurant. The various sides were an exploration into fantastic. We also learned that the razed lot across was once the Ambassador Hotel where Robert Kennedy was shot, and that the plate of leaf lettuce is supposed to be used to wrap around the tasty BBQ like a tortilla.

YooSung Garden
Evening two involved a longer distance Rondo highway test and dual county navigation. First stop was out to Ventura County to collect Analog Assassins club president Billy Bautista. We then took the Ventura highway away from the sunshine, and thundered Rondo into the San Fernando Valley to scoop up one Dan Kahn. Finding a BBQ establishment was more improvisational time around. After driving around for a few minutes we lucked out in a mini-mall featuring not one but two joints. Billy remembered the mini-mall as where he used to come drift cars around the parking lot. His bud Herbert met us there. We chose the shinier looking place and lucked out after we sat down. 18 bucks each for all-u-can-eat BBQ and choice of two sushi rolls! You didn't have to ask us twice. Meats were limited to less exotic critters, as we would have otherwise shrimped the place out of evening profit. So endless was the supply that we experienced fiery grille problems. Our Rondo thirst for Soju was also endless, but fortunately we had a designated driver. In the end Billy B slapped his belly, proclaiming it was the best 18 bucks he had ever spent. Rondo transported everyone back home satisfied and without issue.

Young Dong Garden
The Rondo BBQ tour ended with a daylight stop in Arcadia, California on our way back from the drag races. Before the third and final BBQ stop the Rondo went clear from Montrose to Fontucky and back, even experiencing some carpool lane action. After a day of California Speedway baking sun, nitromethane fumes, and good old tire smoke we were ready for some more savory BBQ goodness. There was no grille in the table at Young Dong, and unfortunately the food was not as impressive as the oddball Polynesian Swiss Chalet architecture of the former steakhouse. To be fair, it was hard to top the smoky goodness of Soot Bull Jeep, or the endless platter supply at YooSung Garden. Young Dong was more dish-based than family style, and the Bimbimbop and Spicy Chicken were tasty and plentiful. The various side dishes and kim chees were not as well thought out. By the end of the week Rondo had been to three restaurants, a drag race, three counties, and slaked our Rondo thirst.

Joost, previously known as the Venice Project, has been generating hype ever since the project was announced last July. The P2P video streaming service entered private beta mode in December of last year but only recently seeded a small number of beta versions of the Mac software to the beta community. Over the weekend, however, Joost finally opened up the private beta to Mac users with the 0.8 version of their software.
Joost for OS X is only compatible with Intel-based Macs right now, which means that beta testers can't test it out on older PPC hardware. I've been running it on my 2GHz MacBook with 1.5GB of RAM. Installation was a breeze, although I encountered an issue post-installation where multiple copies of Joost were showing up in my dock at once, and I received an error message saying that a copy of Joost was already running. Upon reading the list of known issues in this release, this appears to be a common problem, as well as the Joost icon "flickering" in the Dock during startup. I don't seem to have a flickering issue (if I am interpreting it correctly), although when I do attempt to start up the program, it shows up in my dock, then disappears as if it has quit, and then reappears a few seconds later to start up the program. Is this flickering? I'm not sure.
Startup of the Joost program itself is a little pokey, another issue that the Joost team acknowledges. The time it takes to start it up varies, however. The first time I opened Joost, the program took well over 10 seconds to start, but attempts after that took less time. My second startup took about 6 seconds, and my third about 7 seconds. I wasn't doing anything significantly different on the computer any of those times, so it's unclear where the variance lies and how it affects Joost's startup times.
Joost's default setting is fullscreen mode, and navigating through the somewhat minimalist interface is simple and easy to figure out without much guidance. The layout of the menus and options appear to be exactly the same as on the Windows client of Joost, down to the transparency of the menus over the top of whatever videos you're watching—which can be distracting at times and hard to read, depending on what's going on in the background.
The "My Joost" menu in particular—a section that allows the user to customize the "interface" a bit by sticking little Dashboard-like widgets around on the screen—can be difficult to read with its low transparency setting.
Joost offers users the ability to chat with others who are watching the same channel as you via a tiny chat room that you can access from "My Joost." I was watching MTV's "Staying Alive," which apparently only two other people were watching at the time. They were not very chatty. Users can also sign onto either Google's GTalk or some other Jabber service through Joost to IM friends back and forth while watching a show. I tested out this functionality for a bit, but soon found my screen was getting crowded. On one hand, I liked that Joost offered the the ability to do something other than watch a show, but on the other hand, I found the extra options to be distracting. These same options are available on the Windows client.
All during this time, however, performance of the app and the video streaming appeared to work as advertised. I only experienced one video hiccup over the past several days, and it was only for a second. Other than slow startup times, the software itself wasn't laggy at all. It was very responsive to my mouse clicks and keyboard commands (those that worked, that is), and otherwise offered a mostly seamless user experience. Speaking of keyboard commands, the list of known issues acknowledges that they are "not completely working yet" for the Mac and to "try using the Windows shortcut if the Mac shortcut does not work." This doesn't always work when, say, your Mac does not have an "alt" key, but it's the thought that counts. That said, most of the keyboard commands worked for me, although I never did get the "resize window" command to work.
Joost works in window mode the same way as it works in fullscreen mode, with the slight twist that not all text displays correctly when in window mode—another known issue with this release. The menu items themselves appeared to be normal, but many of the display titles—such as menu titles, and the title of what I was watching—were crunched.
All in all, the Mac client is a near replica of the Windows client, with the exception of the aforementioned flaws (most of which are already known): text spacing issues, slow startup times, and odd dock behavior. Joost provided a good Mac experience, with no real navigational or functionality problems to speak of. The only complaint about Joost—which is more of the service than the Mac client—would be that there is currently a very limited selection of content for beta testers to watch. If other studios and networks follow Viacom's lead in putting their (old and new) content onto Joost, however, the service could very well take off. The other significant limitation is the ability to watch video content from Joost on a TV set instead of a computer—something that people with HTPCs could easily do right now, but an average Internet user would likely not. While Xbox Live Video has the Xbox 360, iTunes will (soon) have the Apple TV, and Unbox will have the TiVo, where will Joost fit into the new lineup of video services on the TV?

I just finished up the last of my decadent cream cheese rolls so it was time to bake a more healthy hearty bread but one that is not too heavy either.
I decided to try a double starter which I've done in the past. My first inclination for this bread was to try an experiment and make all of the flour come from the pre-ferment but I chickened out at the last moment and only upped the starter amount slightly from my normal formulas.
I converted my AP starter after refreshing it into 2 distinct starters at close to 100% hydration. The first starter consisted of durum flour and French style KAF flour and the second was hand ground (with my coffee grinder that is) Einkorn ancient wheat mixed with my AP seed starter.
For the main ingredients I added some additional Einkorn flour, French, Durum, potato flour, rye chops and Toasted Wheat Germ for some added nuttiness.
The dough was quite sticky after mixing but came together quite nicely.
The final result was a surprisingly sour dough but in a good way with a nice nutty whole grain flavor. I did not sift the Einkorn flour but used the entire ground flour which you can really taste in the final bread.
You will notice a big hunk of one of the breads in the final photo has gone missing. I would say the alligator ate it, or one of my apprentices, but alas it was my wife who upon returning from shopping thought it was a good idea to lop off a nice chunk before I had a chance to photograph it. At least she seemed to like it, or it could have been because it was the first thing she had eaten all day. I guess I will never know…..
Levain Directions
(Note: the formula below lists the levains as 2 steps but they are 2 different levains not one.)
Mix all the levain ingredients together for #1 and #2 for about 1 minute and cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit at room temperature for around 7-8 hours or until the starter has doubled.
Main Dough Procedure
Mix the flours, rye chops, wheat germ and water (hold back about 50 grams for now) together in your mixer or by hand until it just starts to come together, maybe about 1 minute. Let it rest in your work bowl covered for 20-30 minutes. Next add the salt, starters and olive oil and mix on low for a minute. Add the rest of the water unless the dough is way too wet. Mix on low-speed for another 4 minutes. Remove the dough from your bowl and place it in a lightly oiled bowl or work surface and do several stretch and folds. Let it rest covered for 10-15 minutes and then do another stretch and fold. Let it rest another 10-15 minutes and do one additional stretch and fold. After a total of 2 hours place your covered bowl in the refrigerator and let it rest for 12 to 24 hours.
When you are ready to bake remove the bowl from the refrigerator and let it set out at room temperature still covered for 1.5 to 2 hours. Remove the dough and shape as desired. I made 2 loaves free form and placed them onto my bakers linen and covered them up.
The dough will take 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your room temperature and will only rise about 1/3 it's size at most. Let the dough dictate when it is read to bake not the clock.
Around 45 minutes before ready to bake, pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees F. and prepare it for steam. I have a heavy-duty baking pan on the bottom rack of my oven with 1 baking stone on above the pan and one on the top shelf. I pour 1 cup of boiling water in the pan right after I place the dough in the oven.
Right before you are ready to put them in the oven, score as desired and then add 1 cup of boiling water to your steam pan or follow your own steam procedure.
After 1 minute lower the temperature to 450 degrees. Bake for 35-50 minutes until the crust is nice and brown and the internal temperature of the bread is 205 degrees.
Take the bread out of the oven when done and let it cool on a bakers rack before for at least 2 hours before eating.

Following last week's 2-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Dynamo will welcome the San Jose Earthquakes to BBVA Compass Stadium for the first time on Saturday. The Earthquakes are coming off a 1-0 win over the Seattle Sounders and currently sit tied for second in the Western Conference with a 2-1-1 record. The Dynamo are 2-1-0 through three games and are tied for third place in the Eastern Conference.
Here are five key story lines to get you prepared for this weekend's match:
1. Dynamo look to keep their home unbeaten streak alive
If this were the NBA, NFL or MLB, it's a story that would be the lead on SportsCenter. The Dynamo enter Saturday's match with a 33-game home unbeaten streak in all competitions, one shy of Real Salt Lake's all-time record (34). A win or a draw against San Jose would tie the all competitions record and put Houston within one of tying the MLS regular season record (29). To put things into context, D.C. United lost at home last weekend, snapping the second longest active home unbeaten streak in MLS at 17 games. Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas are now tied for the second longest active unbeaten streak in MLS play with seven home games unbeaten.
2. Containing potent San Jose attack
The San Jose Earthquakes took the league by storm last year, scoring late goal after late goal and finishing the season with a franchise-best 72 goals scored. San Jose had three players score 10+ goals (Chris Wondolowski, Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart) and another add eight (Simon Dawkins). Gordon and Lenhart have yet to play in 2013 and the results have showed, with the Earthquakes totalling only four goals through their first four games. Can the Dynamo defense follow suit and keep the San Jose attack at bay?
3. Wondo makes first trip to BBVA Compass Stadium
Yes, Chris Wondolowski was a member of the USMNT squad that drew Canada 0-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium, but Saturday's match will be the first for Wondolowski as a member of the Earthquakes at the Dynamo's downtown home. The former Dynamo striker blossomed after the 2009 trade for Cam Weaver, winning back-to-back Golden Boot titles and totalling 61 goals from 2010-2012. Despite his high scoring totals, Wondolowski has yet to score against the Dynamo. Will that change on Saturday or will Houston players continue to shut out their former teammate?
4. Dominic Kinnear in unenviable position of picking lineup
There are many people who would love to have Dominic Kinnear's job and manage a professional sports team. But last Saturday's match proved that Kinnear's job of picking a starting lineup is starting to get as hard as ever. With three starters missing due to national team commitments, the Dynamo did not miss a beat en route to a 2-1 victory over Vancouver. With the return of Brad Davis, Jermaine Taylor and Boniek Garcia to Houston for Saturday's match, Kinnear will have a full complement of players to choose from when he fills out his lineup card.
5. A head coaching matchup for the ages
Speaking of Kinnear, his relationship with Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop has been well-documented. Kinnear worked on Yallop's staff at San Jose and took over the head coaching position when Yallop left to coach the Canadian national team. The two men have had remarkable careers, each totalling 116 regular season wins, good for fourth on the MLS all-time charts. Will one of them take home win No. 117 on Saturday and take the upper-hand in the friendly rivalry?

contributing-item-creation-policy dictates how contributing items are created (if at all) in a
MutableRepository. This attribute can have a value of
lazy, or
When users create a new composite item via the
createItem() method in
MutableCompositeRepository, new instances of the primary item and of all contributing items are created. So, for example, if you have a
user item type defined in your composite repository that borrows properties from the SQL and LDAP repositories, any new
user composite repository item that is created creates both an SQL repository item and an LDAP repository item. However, before these items can be added to their respective repositories, the correct link needs to exist between them. If the items are linked by a certain property, this property needs to be set on the primary item before the items are added, otherwise an error occurs as those two items cannot be linked back together later.
If this option is chosen, contributing items are created only when they are needed. In this case, when users call
setPropertyValue on a property that is defined in the contributing repository, the composite repository creates the item in the contributing then and there. There are two different behaviors depending on whether the
CompositeItem is transient or not.
If the item is transient, wait until the item is persisted before checking to see that all appropriate linking properties are set, so they can be propagated to the new contributing item.
If the item is not transient, check whether the correct linking properties are set on the primary item, then add the contributing item to its repository. If there any properties used for linking are missing, an error is returned.
The check for valid linking properties occurs during the
updateItem call, and not during the
setPropertyValue call on the contributing item. So if you use lazy item creation and call
setPropertyValue on a persistent item, you do not need to already have valid values set for any linking properties on the primary item at that exact point in time. As long as the values of the linking properties are set before
updateItem is called, the item should be successfully created.
If this option is chosen, no repository items are created in the underlying repositories under any circumstance. Any contributing items used in the composite repository must already exist in order for valid results to be returned from property value requests.

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
BY Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 25 Flesh and Spirit
"And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ" kjv@1Corinthians:3:1.
"I am carnal, sold unto sin: to will is present with me, but to perform that which is good I find not. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you" kjv@Romans:7:14 kjv@Romans:7:18 kjv@Romans:8:2,9.
"Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? If ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit" kjv@Galatians:3:3 kjv@Galatians:5:18 kjv@Galatians:5:25.
It is of great importance for the young Christian to understand that within him there are two natures which strive against one another.1 If we study the texts noted above, we will see that the Word of God teaches us the following truths on this point.
Sin comes from the flesh. The reason why the Christian still sins is that he yields to the flesh and does not walk by the Spirit. Every Christian has the Spirit and lives by the Spirit, but every Christian does not walk by the Spirit. If he walks by the Spirit, he will not fulfil the desires of the flesh.2
So long as there are strife and envy in the Christian, the Word of God calls him carnal. He would like to do good, but he cannot. He does what he should not, because he still strives in his own strength and not in the power of the Spirit.3
The flesh remains under the law and seeks to obey the law. But through the flesh the law is powerless, and the endeavour to do good is vain. Its language is, "I am carnal, sold under sin: to will is present with me, but to perform that which is good is not."4
This is not the condition in which God would have his child remain. The Word says, "It is God which worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure" ( kjv@Philippians:2:13). The Christian must not only live by the Spirit, but also walk by the Spirit. He must be a spiritual man, and live entirely under the leading of the Spirit.5 If he walks in this way, he will no longer do what he should not. He will no longer be as in kjv@Romans:7--a newborn babe seeking to fulfil the law. But, as in kjv@Romans:8, the Spirit will set him free from the law which gives no power but brings death, and he will no longer walk in the oldness of the letter but, rather, in the newness of the Spirit.6
There are Christians who begin with the Spirit, but end with the flesh. They are converted, born again through the Spirit, but fall unconsciously into a life in which they endeavour to overcome sin and be holy through their own exertion--through doing their best. They ask God to help them in these endeavours and think that this is faith. They do not understand what it means to say, "In me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing" ( kjv@Romans:7:18). They do not know that they are to cease from their own endeavours so that they may do God's will, wholly and only through the Spirit.7
Child of God, please learn what it means to say to yourself just as you are, even after the new birth--"I am carnal, sold under sin." No longer strive to do your best under your own strength, merely asking God to help you in your endeavours. No, learn to say, "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Every day, let your goal be to have the Spirit work in you. Walk by the Spirit, and you will be redeemed from the life of complaining about your inability to do good into a life of faith, in which it is God who works in you both to will and to do ( kjv@Philippians:2:13).
Lord God, teach me to acknowledge with all my heart that in me, that is, in my flesh, there dwells nothing good. Teach me also to cease from every thought, as if I could with my own endeavours serve or please You. Teach me to understand that the Spirit is the Comforter, who frees me from all anxiety and fear about my own powerlessness, in order that He may work the strength of Christ in me. Amen.

In order to understand the conflict between flesh and Spirit, we must especially seek to have a clear insight into the connection between Romans, chapters 7 and 8. In kjv@Romans:7, verse 6, Paul spoke of the twofold way of serving God, the one in the oldness of the letter, the other in the newness of the Spirit. In kjv@Romans:7, verses 14-16, he describes the first way; in kjv@Romans:8, verses 1-16, he describes the second. This appears clearly when we observe that in chapter 7 he mentions the Spirit only once, the law more than twenty times; while in chapter 8, he mentions the Spirit sixteen times. In kjv@Romans:7 we see the regenerate soul, just as he is in himself with his new nature--desirous, but powerless to fulfil the law, and mourning as one who "is captive under the law of sin." In kjv@Romans:8 we hear him say, "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath has made me free from the law of sin and death." kjv@Romans:7 describes the ever-abiding condition of the Christian, contemplated as renewed, but not experiencing by faith the power of the Holy Spirit. kjv@Romans:8 describes his life in the freedom which the Spirit of God really gives from the power of sin.
2. It is important to understand that the conflict between grace and works, between faith and one's own power, between the Holy Spirit and confidence in ourselves and the flesh, always continues to go on. This applies not only to conversion and the reception of the righteousness of God, but even further into a walk in this righteousness. The Christian has to watch very carefully against the deep inclination of his heart to still work in his own behalf when he sees anything wrong in himself, or when he would follow after holiness, instead of always and only trusting in Jesus Christ, and so serving God in the Spirit.
3. In order to clarify the opposition between the two methods of serving God, let me consecutively cite, in their entirety, the passages in which they are expressed with special distinctions. Compare them with care. Pray to God for the Spirit in order to make you understand them. Take deeply to heart the lesson as to how you are to serve God well, and how not to serve Him.
"The circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter" ( kjv@Romans:2:29).
"To him that worketh not but believeth, his faith is counted for righteousness" ( kjv@Romans:4:5).
"Ye are not under the law but under grace" ( kjv@Romans:6:14).
"We are delivered from the law, that we should serve in newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter" ( kjv@Romans:7:6).
"We know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin" ( kjv@Romans:7:14).
"The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit" ( kjv@Romans:8:4).
"Ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption" ( kjv@Romans:8:15).
"The righteousness which is of the law, that the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? Who shall descend into the deep? But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart" ( kjv@Romans:10:5-8).
"If by grace, then it is no more of works" ( kjv@Romans:11:6).
"I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me" (Gal.2:20).
"The just shall live by faith; yet the law is not of faith; but the man that doeth them shall live in them" ( kjv@Galatians:3:11-12).
"If the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise" ( kjv@Galatians:3:18).
"So that thou art no more a servant, but a son" ( kjv@Galatians:4:7).
"Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free" ( kjv@Galatians:4:31).
"Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh" ( kjv@Galatians:5:16).
"If ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law" ( kjv@Galatians:5:18).
"Who worship God in the Spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh" ( kjv@Philippians:3:3).
"Another priest, who is made not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life" ( kjv@Hebrews:7:16).
4. Beloved Christian, you have received the Holy Spirit from the Lord Jesus to reveal Him and His life in you, and to mortify the working of the body of sin. Pray often to be filled with the Spirit. Live in the joyful faith that the Spirit is in you, as your Comforter and Teacher, and that through Him all will be right. Learn this text by heart, and let it live in your heart and on your lips, "We are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh" (Phil. 3:3).

Motherwell: Defender Stephen McManus joins Motherwell
Last updated on .From the section Football
Former Celtic captain Stephen McManus has become Motherwell's sixth summer signing.
The 30-year-old defender has joined on a one-year deal after the expiry of his contract at Middlesbrough.
McManus, capped 26 times for Scotland, had endured an injury-ravaged time at the Riverside Stadium.
"I always had an idea then that I was going to come here; even though it was a hard decision given other clubs were interested," he said.
"From the minute I came in the door for the first time, there was a real family atmosphere and that is what drew me to the club.
"I just can't wait to get started, I will give it my best shot and we will see how it goes."
McManus moved to Boro from Celtic for £1.5m in July 2010 after 12 years with the Glasgow club.
However, injury blighted his stay in England's north-east and a loan spell at Bristol City was also curtailed by injury.
Paul Lawson, Iain Vigurs, John Sutton, Fraser Kerr and Gunnar Nielsen are 'Well's other signings this transfer window.

The internationally renowned fashion designer Philipp Plein has moved his company headquarters to Lugano and is therefore leaving his Swiss home in Amriswil. He had the art nouveau mansion lavishly refurbished in 2010. The property is now on the market fully furnished for the equivalent of approx. 3.9 million euros through Engel & Völkers Kreuzlingen in Switzerland.
Interior with a personal note
Spanning some 1,000 square metres in total, the interior of the property comprises a living area with ten rooms and an office wing with eight rooms. The German designer used the property as both his private residence and business premises. The interior design of the mansion, which dates from 1910, is the work of Philipp Plein himself. Hence in some rooms, accessories can be found in his favourite materials fur and leather. Mr. Plein also had the former wine cellar transformed into a luxurious private spa. The grounds include some 2,000 square metres of parkland gardens complete with an outdoor pool.
The mansion is located in the historic surroundings of Amriswil – a town with a population of some 13,000 in the Swiss canton of Thurgau. It boasts a wide variety of cultural events and good connections to the nearby Lake Constance region and St. Gallen.

Lychnis moth (Hadena bicruris) lays more eggs in isolated areas
The Lychnis moth (Hadena bicruris) is laying more eggs on white campion (Silene latifolia), due to the increasing fragmentation of the countryside. Dutch researcher Jelmer Elzinga studied how many white campion seeds were eaten by Lychnis moth caterpillars at various locations along the River Waal.
Elzinga discovered that at small and isolated locations, Lychnis moth caterpillars consumed more white campion seeds. This increased consumption was thought to be due to a decrease in the number of ichneumon flies, which kill the caterpillars. However, Elzinga demonstrated that this hypothesis is not correct.
Upon hatching, Lychnis caterpillars eat the seeds of the white campion on a massive scale. Half of these caterpillars die prematurely due to attacks by ichneumon flies. The increasing fragmentation of the countryside means that areas of natural habitat are becoming smaller and more isolated. Moths, such as the Lychnis, are thought to easily spread between the various fragments whereas the much smaller ichneumon flies cannot.
Based on this knowledge, Jelmer Elzinga investigated whether caterpillars more frequently attacked white campion in strongly fragmented areas. It was expected that the poor distribution of the ichneumon flies would lead to less caterpillars dying, and therefore the plants being attacked more.
Elzinga discovered that the white campion was indeed attacked more in small and isolated growing areas. He also found that in such areas, fewer caterpillars were attacked by ichneumon flies and fewer ichneumon fly species were present.
However, ichneumon flies only attack the caterpillars when they are almost fully grown. Therefore, the poor distribution of the ichneumon flies could not explain the increased consumption of the seeds. Elzinga found that this extra consumption was due to the Lychnis moth laying more eggs in isolated growing locations of the white campion.
The research was funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress returns Tuesday to a crowded agenda of unfinished business overshadowed by the urgent need for President Barack Obama and lawmakers to avert the economic double hit of tax increases and automatic spending cuts.
One week after the elections, Republicans and Democrats face a daunting task in a lame-duck session that Capitol Hill fears could last until the final hours of Dec. 31. But even before serious budget negotiations can begin, lawmakers will tackle leftover legislation on trade with Russia, military budgets and aiding farmers still reeling from the summer's drought.
The first days back will be a mix of old and new — choosing down-ballot leaders in the Senate while new members get a crash course on how Congress operates.
Congress last met seven weeks ago.

The Latest: European moderates welcome US political shift
NEW DELHI (AP) — The Latest on global reactions to U.S. midterm elections (all times local):
9:10 p.m.
European moderates are welcoming a re-balancing of U.S. politics after the midterm election but few expect big change in relations with President Donald Trump.
EU Commissioner Pierre Moscovici tweeted that the Democrats took the majority in the House of Representative "despite powerful Republican gerrymandering," calling it a "tremendous success."
French President Emmanuel Macron's government spokesman, Benjamin Griveaux, said the vote "shows the vitality of a great democracy."
After two years in which Trump has bullied European allies and raised fears that Europe will be caught between the U.S. and Russia in a new nuclear arms race, French lawmaker Guy Teissier said the midterm result "will not change things dramatically" for Europe.
Business lobby groups in Europe said they expect protectionist U.S. policies to continue. European People's Party leader Manfred Weber said it's time for Europeans to stop following Washington's example and realize "we are the biggest and largest economic power."
8:20 p.m.
The Kremlin says the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections was "predictable."
Russian President Vladimir Putin's foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said Wednesday that the vote putting Democrats back in charge of the U.S. House of Representatives continued the traditional pattern of the president's party suffering losses in the first midterm election of his term.
Ushakov noted that both the Democrats and U.S. President Donald Trump are claiming the results as their victory. Trump's Republicans gained Senate seats and held onto key governorships.
He added that it wasn't immediately clear what impact the election would have on U.S.-Russian relations.
8:10 p.m.
Italy's right-wing deputy premier has tweeted his congratulations to President Donald Trump for the results of the U.S. midterm elections, saying they went "against everything and everyone" pushing for a Democratic wave.
Matteo Salvini, a populist who also serves as Italy's interior minister, shares some of Trump's anti-migrant, nationalist leanings.
Salvini wrote "godonaldgo" and "Compliments to president #Trump for the seats conquered in the Senate and the confirmation in crucial states, against everything and everyone: leftist journalists, actors and singers, directors and pseudo-intellectuals."
At a news conference later Wednesday, Salvini declined to comment on specific policies of the leader he called a "slightly strange president," but said Trump at least kept his campaign promises on the economy, trade and immigration.
Trump's onetime adviser, Steve Bannon, has pointed to Salvini as the future of European politicians.
6:45 p.m.
Germany's foreign minister says the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections means foreign policy will depend more on whether Republicans and Democrats can work together, but doesn't alter the changes in trans-Atlantic relations under President Donald Trump.
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said Wednesday: "What this election doesn't change is that without the U.S., we will not be able to solve problems in an ever more complicated world."
Maas added: "We must remain realistic. In the past two years, the balance in the partnership with the United States has shifted for the foreseeable future, and the election won't change anything about that either."
Maas renewed his argument that Europeans must answer Trump's "America First" policy with a "Europe United" approach
6:30 p.m.
Relatives of the first Palestinian-American woman elected to the U.S. Congress are cheering in the Michigan Democrat's ancestral West Bank village of Beit Ur al-Foqa.
Rashida Tlaib's uncle, Bassam Tlaib, said Wednesday that "the family, the village and the region are all proud" of her historic victory.
He says his 42-year-old niece plans to wear traditional Palestinian dress and have a Quran during her swearing-in ceremony. He expects her to "serve the Palestinian cause" in her new role.
Rashida Tlaib was born in the United States to Palestinian parents. Her mother is originally from the West Bank.
Tlaib ran unopposed in her Michigan district. She and Somali-American Ilhan Omar of Minnesota will be first two female Muslim members of Congress.
3:35 p.m.
The Kremlin says the results of Tuesday's midterm elections are not going to hurt ties between Russia and the U.S. because they are bad as it is.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday that "it'd be hard to make (the relationship) even worse."
Peskov refused to comment on a suggestion that the Democrats' control of the House will make it more difficult for President Donald Trump to repair ties with Russia. He says, however, "there are no bright prospects on the horizon" for improving the relations.
A meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin planned for next week in France has been scrapped.
A senior Russian lawmaker, Konstantin Kosachev, says a Democratic majority in the House means Trump will face "unpleasant challenges."
3:25 p.m.
Michael Oren, Israel's deputy Cabinet minister for public diplomacy and a former ambassador to Washington, says the results made it more likely that President Donald Trump would turn to international diplomacy to reach a deal for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Oren has told The Associated Press: "There is no issue which would have greater reverberations, not just on the right but in the center and maybe even on parts of the left that resolving the Israeli-Palestinian issue."
He says the results have a two-pronged influence on Israel. The first is to view the Democratic retaking of the House as an opportunity for Israel to reach out again to Democrats and liberal Jews who overwhelmingly supported them after years of the Jewish state perceived as enthusiastically praising Trump. The second is to try and push for as many concrete solutions to its chief concerns — Iran, Syria and the Palestinians — while Trump remains in the White House.
Mouin Rabbani, an independent Palestinian analyst, says he expects very little impact on Trump's Middle East policies.
3:10 p.m.
Japanese officials say their alliance with the United States remains unshakable regardless of U.S. election results.
Japan's Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasutoshi Nishimura told reporters Wednesday that Japan-U.S. alliance is "unwavering" despite mixed election results for President Donald Trump.
Democrats seized the House majority from the Trump's Republican Party, while it gained ground in the Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, the first nationwide polls since Trump took office two years ago.
Nishimura says Japan will cooperate with the U.S. in efforts to denuclearize North Korea and in other areas.
He says, however, Japan won't compromise on trade against its national interest if there is any change in a political climate in the U.S.
2:55 p.m.
China says the relationship between the world's two largest economies is so important that interests on both sides will continue pushing for cooperation regardless of the outcome of U.S. elections.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying declined to comment directly on the outcome but says "regardless of the result ... we believe the two governments and the two peoples all want to maintain the sound and steady development of bilateral relations because we believe it is in the best interests of the international community."
President Donald Trump has slapped punitive tariffs on $250 billion in Chinese exports to the U.S. and threatened billions more. China has retaliated with tariffs on soybeans and other key U.S. exports. Frictions over Taiwan, human rights and the South China Sea have pushed relations to their lowest ebb in years.
Trump and Vice President Michael Pence have also accused China of seeking to meddle in the elections, prompting denials from Beijing.
Hua says China looks forward to a meeting between Trump and President Xi Jinping later this month at a G-20 summit in Argentina.
2::35 p.m.
The Democratic victory in the U.S. House of Representatives could echo from Moscow to Beijing to Riyadh, with empowered Democrats now able to launch new investigations into President Donald Trump's international business empire and his political dealings with the rest of the world.
Overturning control of the House in Tuesday's midterm elections has given the Democrats a powerful weapon to wield against Trump: subpoenas whose reach could extend far beyond the White House and Washington.
It means Democrats could look into everything from Chinese trademarks granted to companies linked to Trump and his daughter Ivanka, to a probable reopening of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Hello my Name is Nora and I am a writer. Not a wanna be or I'll try to be, I AM.
My mother's running joke in our family is that one of us should write a book about our family, but no one would ever believe it is a true story. Well Mom, I've done that and more.
I am open to suggestions and help revising anything I have written and will post some for you to read. While I do submit to Literary Agents and Publishers, I don't like a standard Query letters, they feel fake to me. I prefer to use a personal approach in the form of a letter I would send to a friend.
I have been writing for about forty years, but never let anyone read anything. Now I know that does not a writer make. You must dedicate yourself to being a Writer and telling the world that is your profession not your hobby. So as in any group setting let me introduce myself "Hello my Name is Nora and I am a writer.".

Teens charged in school rape unlikely to be tried as adults
Adult certification less common than in past, attorney says
Two boys charged with raping a fellow student at Southwest Early College Campus will likely not stand trial as adults.
The students, age 15 and 14, were arrested after the 17-year-old accuser reported the attack late last month. Both boys were brought before a juvenile judge in Jackson County Wednesday. In both cases, prosecutors said they would not be recommending adult certification.
In the past, certification as an adult might have been expected, but experts said that's not always the case anymore.
"Missouri law requires certain crimes, if you're charged with that, the court has to consider whether transfer to the court of general jurisdiction, what we call certification, should occur," said juvenile law attorney Jill Katz.
Katz, who has worked in the juvenile justice system for more than 20 years, said the court will consider the prosecution's stance, but it will also consider other factors.
"Repetitive behaviors, is the child amenable to treatment, the age of the child," she said.
Judges also consider the seriousness of the charge.
In this case, the accuser told police she was grabbed in a hallway and carried to an isolated room. She said the 15-year-old boy raped her as she cried and she asked him to let her go. The accuser also told police she was assaulted two weeks earlier but didn't report it at the time. She said one of the boys was involved in both attacks.
Jackson County Juvenile Court reports a steady decline in the number of certification cases. Last year, only eight of the 45 young people considered for adult certification were, roughly 18 percnet.
Katz said that's a reflection of the system's hope for the future of the offenders.
"The court sees something in this child and the parties involved, the attorneys see something in this child that outweigh the seriousness of the crime, so the child should be kept with in the juvenile court system for rehabilitation," she said.

Review of Gareth
GARETH may be purchased here.
Grace Burrowes
Miss Felicity Hemmings Worthington has inherited a brothel from a distant relative, but there are stipulations that she learn the business from Gareth Alexander, the Marquess of Heathgate. If Gareth refuses, his replacement would be a despicable man, and Gareth won't allow that to happen. Gareth is something of a rake, who inherited his title and properties after a tragic family boating accident, which killed his grandfather, uncle, father, cousin, older brother, and his fiancee. There were rumors after the accident, that Gareth was behind the accident. and Gareth had a rough time of it. After taking over his new responsibilities, Gareth has made his family very prosperous, but the rumors continue. Gareth doesn't want to taint Felicity's reputation, but she is almost destitute and has a younger sister to support, so he agrees to help her.
GARETH is a historical romance, which I have mixed feelings about. I really enjoyed the previous books in this series, and GARETH has its moments, but the first part of the book didn't work well for me. I had a hard time warming to Gareth, because it seemed he could have done more to get Felicity out of her situation. I, also, found his reasons for not committing to Felicity a little lame. Felicity handles the situation fairly well, and she makes a nice heroine. GARETH picks up toward the end and there is some excitement, surprises, and a satisfying ending. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series about Felicity's sister and Gareth's brother, who are great engaging characters.
NOTE: I received this book in return for an unbiased review.

You may think you know Chicago: a hard-working, no-nonsense city where bratwurst-toting football fans cheer on "Da Bears" despite bone-chilling winter winds. Guess again. This Midwestern metropolis has reinvented itself as a truly cosmopolitan destination.
International visitors flock to the city's world-class museums while snapping shots of the skyline (modern architecture was born here, after all).
High-maintenance fashionistas hit the big designer names and shops on Michigan Avenue before heading to more cutting-edge, off-the-beaten-track boutiques in Bucktown. And those in search of eye candy can take in the buff young professionals biking, running and skating their way along the Lake Michigan shoreline -- or, better yet, hit the bike path themselves.
Despite the city's new coat of veneer, the low-key, not-easily-impressed Chicago spirit has survived intact. Although the city has something for everyone -- from families in search of a thrill at the Navy Pier Ferris wheel to couples strolling hand-in-hand along Oak Street Beach -- it doesn't rest on its laurels. Chicago is still eager to please, anxious to convince visitors that it deserves more than its "Second City" status. Come to the city with an open mind, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The Best of Chicago
As the cultural and commercial center of the Midwest, Chicago attracts both leisure and business travelers, and has attractions to fit pretty much any interest. At the top of any visitor's must-see list are the city's top museums, many of which are internationally renowned. The Art Institute of Chicago is known particularly for its collection of French Impressionist masterpieces, although you'll also spot some iconic works of modern art as you wander the halls (Edward Hopper's Nighthawks; Grant Wood's American Gothic).
The Field Museum of Natural History and the Shedd Aquarium (within walking distance of each other on the city's Museum Campus) can each easily fill a day, while the massive Museum of Science and Industry in the south side neighborhood of Hyde Park is heaven for children who like their exhibits flashy, fun, and interactive.
Chicago's architecture is another draw. A walk through downtown is a mini-tour through the history of the high-rise office skyscraper, from the 1890s-era Reliance Building (now The Hotel Burnham) to the stark lines of the mid-20th-century International Style, epitomized by the Sears Tower and John Hancock Center.
But some of Chicago's greatest attractions are natural rather than man-made. The shores of Lake Michigan, lined by miles of public parks, are Chicago's summer playground, the site of everything from family picnics to pickup beach volleyball games to weekend 5-kilometer runs. From Grant Park and Millennium Park downtown to Lincoln Park further north, Chicagoans fill these outdoors spaces come spring, summer, and fall, eager to take advantage of every sunny day. To truly experience the spirit of the city, you should spend time hanging out there, too.
Fast Facts & Information
Fast Facts & Information
Geography and landscape: Chicago is located at the northeastern tip of the state of Illinois, along the southwestern curve of Lake Michigan. The Chicago River runs through the heart of downtown, splitting into a North Branch and South Branch at Wacker Drive. The Chicago metropolitan area, and capital of Cook County, is home to about 8 million people, and its suburbs spread for miles to the north, south, and west.
Like most of the Midwest, Chicago's topography is flat. You won't be climbing any hills during your visit. That makes walking relatively easy; indeed, it's the best way to get a feel for the city while you're here.
General orientation: The heart of Chicago's downtown business district is The Loop, named for the elevated train tracks ("the El") that circle overhead through the area. Michigan Avenue is the city's best-known thoroughfare; the one-mile stretch between the Chicago River and Oak Street Beach, known as The Magnificent Mile, is downtown's most popular shopping destination.
To the north of downtown are the residential neighborhoods of the Gold Coast, Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and Wrigleyville. To the west of downtown, the West Loop is a newly gentrified area of rehabbed loft apartments and trendy restaurants. Also booming is the South Loop, site of many recent residential construction projects.
Aside from the neighborhoods surrounding downtown, Chicago is a network of distinct neighborhoods, some named for parks (Wicker Park, Humboldt Park, and Albany Park to the west, Rogers Park to the north) while other areas are named for the immigrants who settled there, such as Ukrainian Village, Greektown, Little Italy, Chinatown. That said, Chicago is a diverse city, considered home to the many who settle here in search of the American Dream.
All Chicago address numbers originate at the corner of State and Madison streets in The Loop (the city's "point zero"). Each increment of 400 in an address translates to a half-mile (800 W Madison St, therefore, is one mile west of State Street). While the city's grid system is fairly simple to follow and the downtown skyline and Lake Michigan that lines the eastern edge of the city can help re-orient you if you get lost, there are a few major streets that run at a northwest angle (Lincoln, Milwaukee, Clybourn, Elston) and can cause confusion if you're not sure what direction you're headed.
Safety: Although crime is rare in Chicago's busy downtown, visitors should use the same precautions they would in any other large city. Purses, cameras, and other valuables, in particular, can be easy targets for pickpockets. Downtown neighborhoods with busy bar and restaurant scenes -- such as The Loop, River North, and The Magnificent Mile -- are safe well into the evening hours.
Although some unsafe neighborhoods are off the usual tourist path, drivers should exercise precautions when driving through unfamiliar parts of the city and map out their route before driving. As in other major cities, it's safer to stay in well-populated areas and keep from venturing into unfamiliar neighborhoods and dimly-lit parks at night.
Climate/weather: Don't like the weather when you arrive in town? Wait an hour -- it will probably change. Chicago runs the gamut of temperatures, from frigid winters to steamy summers, but the most predictable aspect of Chicago's weather is its unpredictability. Whenever you visit, come prepared to dress in layers. That said, there are some general guidelines: winter high temperatures are usually in the 20s or 30s (Fahrenheit), with gusty winds off the lakefront (the phrase "cooler by the lake" is something you'll hear repeatedly).
Summers can be scorching, with temperatures in the 80s and 90s (Fahrenheit) and high humidity, although heat waves are usually broken up by periods of pleasant, less-sticky weather. Spring is unpredictable: it could be 70 degrees and sunny or 40 degrees and raining, so be prepared for extremes. The most consistently pleasant weather is in the fall, with low humidity, ample sunshine, and temperatures in the 60s and low 70s.
Finding your way around Chicago is easy enough, considering how large the city is. Keep reading to learn about getting around Chicago via rental car, taxi, or public transportation.

Zoologists know that some animals like to whisper, or do something like it, under certain circumstances. But it's never been observed in nonhuman primates... until now.
The primate in question is the cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus), one of the world's smallest primates. It lives in the tropical forests of northwestern Columbia in South America.
Its whisper-like behavior was discovered at New York City's Central Park Zoo during an experiment intended to record the alarm calls of tamarins when afraid of people. But instead, when a distrusted zoo worker walked in, the tamarins fell silent.
Later, when the researchers analyzed audio spectrograms, they realized that the tamarins were in fact communicating, but at an extremely hushed level (low amplitude vocalizations):
The researchers, Rachel Morrison and Diana Reiss, say it's potential evidence of convergent evolution in communication strategies among highly social and cooperative species.
Read the entire study at Zoo Biology: "Whisper-like behavior in non-human primate."
