"Great Story Extension"
I was concerned that the story was running too fast after the first book and just the first few chapters of this book. I worried Sanderson wouldn't be able to keep me interested at the pace the story was taking, or that things would go in a crazy different direction and disappoint me.
But this was masterfully done. Great characters, great story, great narration. I enjoyed Shalan's story much more than the original book, she's still a frustrating character, but much more enjoyable. I was impressed with the inclusion of new characters and how well they fit in. There's also some serious news about how each character is related to one another, and this makes the next book even more intriguing.
If I had to knock one thing in the book. The interludes are still confusing and provide little to no payoff for the reader. Some of them I can agree they are introducing new characters that we might see in later books, but others are simply confusing and made me question why was my time spent learning about this person. There's no immediate benefit and in some cases nor is there a future with that character.
Overall, great!
"Good Narrator, Great Plot, Bad Storytelling"
I've thought about this for a while and what was so disappointing about this book. The reviews are great, and the story if very intriguing. Honestly, Scott Lynch is an excellent writer when it comes to prose. He's not overly advanced and tedious, but definitely not juvenile. The problem comes with the way the story was constructed.
I liken the style to a speech by a great orator. Imaging you were listening to Martin Luther King, Jr. and his great speech went like this "I have a dream...but wait, I forgot to mention this happened a while back...the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners, oh yeah, there's this story about slaves and slave owners I want to mention...will be able to sit together..."
Flashbacks are hard to get right in books. Movies have the advantage of visual queuing, but in books it's hard to help the reader understand it is a flash back. And this book is full of flashback. Due to the heavy integration of characters, there is never a clear delineation of time save a chapter change. The first 2/3rd of this book is disorienting and difficult to follow. But does get much better after that.
The story it great, you have the appropriate level of empathy for those intended, excellent writing and prose, narration is good (although the children are done in an annoying voice), great characters, and fun twists. Just bad storytelling. And that aspect completely clouds the good in this book.
"Great start to a trilogy that I feel I will enjoy"
Picked this book up on a whim. I was looking for something about thieves for some strange reason. I'm glad I did. Sullivan throws you into a world that will be instantly familiar (humans, elves, and dwarfs) to any fantasy reader and doesn't worry about all the details of why the world is this way. It just setups the world, the rules, and scope and runs off.
I'm happy Sullivan did this because what you get is a great story and you don't have to worry about all the little details that often invade fantasy epics. You get a solid story that is heavy on the events. Paces very well without blowing to quickly through what is happening.
T.G. Reynolds does a wonderful job on the reading and gives you a vivid mental picture of what each character. I'm going to read the rest of this series soon.
"Wil Weaton fits, but is still out of place"
This book is good, not great, just good. Scalzi's writing style is a bit out of place in audiobook form, as none of his dialog flows. Scalzi makes a point to add "she said", "he said", etc. after every piece of dialog and therefore translates to audiobook in a very jerky and difficult to follow style. This is why Wil Weaton feels a bit out of place. He's trying to audibly read a book that's not meant to be read aloud.
The story is good, funny, and witty. And whereas the main story is well done, I wish it was more fleshed out. Things move quickly. Honestly, I felt the best portion of the book was the Second Coda. The Second Coda is extremely well written and is perfectly suited for narration. It's a shame the entire book wasn't in the same style.
"Loved Every Second..."
Steelheart was an amazing read. Andrews does a superb job with the voices and pacing that I felt he was the characters. Completely engrossing without getting in the way. Sanderson wrote a great book set in a dystopian future where the people with superpower are pretty much all villains.
It's a great spin on the superhero genre, now superheros are bad and enslave the "common" humans, but can the humans rise up and defeat their overlords? Honestly, I think I'm going to listen to this one again and again.
"Neatly Packaged Young Reader"
Honestly I really didn't care for this book. It's a good story and stars off strong, but things begin to move way too rapidly towards the end of the book and the ending is very..."neat".
Based on the Amazon.com description I was given a bit too much of the plot and kept waiting for a certain event to happen, and when it does I was pretty disappointed. There are complex characters and many are simply ignored at the end and the events unfolding are wrapped up in a nice and orderly fashion, therefore feeling fake.
Couple that will juvenile narration, I cannot recommend this book. The narrator does voices and the producer felt the need not to worry about audio normalizing, so many times Mimus is yelling at you then you have to turn the volume up to hear other characters. Frustrating read.
"Completely surprised by this one..."
I bought this one one whim, never heard of the author or this book, but I'm glad I did. This might be one of the best books of fiction I've read this year.
Characters are completely believable. At no time did I think the characters did something opposite of what the author had established earlier. The situations and circumstances were well plotted out and was very engrossing. I'm also a sucker for stories that don't take the modern narrative of "disposable marriages". I'd recommend this to any reader.
Note: It's narrated by Scott Brick. People either love him or hate him. I tend to enjoy his narration mostly because he doesn't succumb to common pitfall of making female voices overly comical. Many male readers do this and Brick establishes a vocal and maintains it throughout the reading.
"Interesting, but not engrossing..."
I've been wanting to read this for a while, and finally got the time to start it. It is an interesting story of the U.S.'s most lethal sniper, but you have to understand, Kyle is no one special. His story is interesting, but it isn't amazing. He even states his title was mostly because of luck, not luck in ability but just being in the right place at the right time. It's more interesting to hear the tension his job put on his family and his ties to what he felt was honorable.
The narration was a little rough but I personally think it is because Pruden makes an attempt at a Texan accent which most people not from Texas most always fail to do. But you can tell he has had military service which does help the story.
"Marc Thompson makes the book."
The story is definitely a good one, but Marc Thompson's voice acting makes the book amazing. Pretty decent wrap of the trilogy, but does leave you wanting more. Even if you are a passing Star Wars fan, this is worth the read.
"Interesting story, rough reading..."
The story is pretty interesting and has a great premise. There is a bit of political leaning from the author, but didn't feel preachy. Main female character felt unrealistic and made a few odd choices, and the reader could have made things worse because he read her in a way that she constantly sounded upset/whiny.
I like the subject and the way it was paced. Suarez has an issue with suddenly making huge jarring leaps in time, but this book had the leaps but wasn't quite as jarring...but still some lost time that felt odd. The action was very well put together and didn't have many "video game injuries" (like when someone gets shot a few time, but can still fully function).
Thoroughly enjoyable read.

Gossip Girl Season 6, Episode 9 Review – Should Chuck or Blair have saved Bart Bass?| December 11, 2012 at 11:42 AM EST
He's notorious for faking his death, but we think this time Bart Bass really is gone.
At the end of "The Revengers" (Gossip Girl Season 6, Episode 9) Bart Bass was hanging from a ledge. There was ample time and chance for Chuck and/or Blair to reach for him, but they didn't.
Bart had all about admitted to trying to have Chuck killed, so his son wasn't in a particularly good mood. Chuck has also been on a mission to get rid of his Dad.
Blair was likely respecting Chuck's choice not to save Bart, although she also has to live with her choice too.
Are you glad Bart was left to die, or do you think it was a particularly dark move to have two of the Gossip Girl characters make?
Don't forget, the Gossip Girl finale airs in one week!

Losing weight is only as challenging as you make it out to be. All you need is patience and determination, and your efforts will surely pay off.
Avoid eating right before bed because you won't be able to burn it off. It is easier said than done, but avoid eating before bedtime. Any food you eat will not be burned off and just stored in your fat cells. Instead of eating during the evening, do something different like reading or going on the computer to help avoid any temptations.
The elimination of red meats from your cooking is a good step that should cause a few pounds to disappear. The high levels of saturated fat in red meats can put you at risk of heart disease. Cut out red meat and go for meats with less fat, including chicken, turkey, and different kinds of seafood.
Set aside enough time in the morning to eat breakfast. When you're in a rush to get to your job, it's too easy to down a ready-made breakfast pastry. Do not eat empty calories for your breakfast. There will be no excuse for you to have to eat calorie-filled pastries if you eat fruit and oatmeal at home.
It has been proven that avoiding processed foods can help one lose weight. This will assist you in making better eating choices through purchasing healthier foods when you go grocery shopping. Most junk food contains processed ingredients as well as sugar and fat, so you probably will avoid it.
000 Steps
Eating just egg whites, not the yolk, will make it easier to lose weight. Although the yolk does have it's benefits, it is high in cholesterol and fat, and this could be detrimental to your weight loss goals. Egg whites are an awesome source of quality protein.
A pedometer is an effective tool to have if you are trying to lose weight. A pedometer is a small, electronic tool that will count the number of steps you take throughout the day. This will ensure you that you are walking the right amount of steps throughout the day. You might be frustrated if you expect to achieve the 10,000 steps goal by just running around and doing your household chores. If you intend to use the pedometer to motivate yourself, remember you will have to set aside some time to take a walk. When you are walking as part of your weight loss efforts, if the 10,000 steps number does not help you in weight loss it is suggested that you increase your walking up to another 2,000 steps or so. According to current estimates this will add about a mile to your walking. Of course you can reduce calories if walking those additional steps does not seem to work for you.
Working out is an important aspect of losing weight. It makes sense to determine a set time each day for completing your exercise. Write down when you plan to exercise in your calendar, just like you would plan a meeting or important appointment.
A lot of people mistakenly keep it to themselves when trying to get rid weight. The more people that know, the more people you have to support you and push you to achieve your goals. This will also help them to avoid treating you to unhealthy foods or beverages.
To lose weight, make sure you are active all day. Try to avoid sitting throughout the day. When you remain active all day, you are constantly burning calories. This will increase the speed of your metabolism, and allow you to still eat a healthy number of calories and lose weight.
There is big difference between thinking about weight loss and actually implementing a plan. Plan on starting today so that you can begin on your plan. You'll be happy that you did. You'll wonder why you didn't start sooner.
Incorporating a physical activity in any meal is a good way to shed weight. Going to have a picnic? Find a grassy area with plenty of walking paths, and pair lunch with a walk. If you are able to, you can slim down quickly by planning to eat and participate in fun physical activities at around the same time.
Muscles use calories more efficiently than fat. It will also help you lose weight. At the minimum you will need to do strength training two or three times each week to build more muscle.
Track any steps you make during your weight loss plan with a pedometer. Try walking around 10,000 steps every day. If you're aware of how many you walk on average, try challenging yourself to walk more. Every step you take helps you to lose weight.
Chicken Salad
Eating leftover food items is great for shedding pounds. While cooking a healthy meal, make a bit more to have for lunch tomorrow. Chicken salad can be used in a pita sandwich. Another way to cut calories is to use a pureed avocado in place of mayonnaise in your chicken salad. This will ensure you have an easy, healthy lunch without any extra work.
If you work, bring a healthy lunch and snacks with you. This is especially true if you work very long hours because it's important to keep your energy up and avoid the temptation to eat and healthful foods. This will cause you to eat junk food, which could slow you down in losing weight.
Part of any particular weight loss regimen should be the time to workout. You should set aside time for exercising on a daily basis. Never make plans during this time and stay true to your exercise period of the day.
If you take the time to consider it, losing weight isn't hard! To lose weight you need to have the mentality that you are constantly progressing in order that you do not give up. Understand that every physical activity from picking up the living room to walking the dog is helping you towards your goal. Just remember that if you are trying to lose weight, the TV is not your friend (unless there is an exercise bike in front of it).
Now you know many different tricks to lose weight. You should see that is a doable task and that it can help you greatly, if you stay with it. If you keep using these tips eventually you will find more things that aid in your weight loss also.

Notes & Reviews:
Praised for their "devotion and original programming" (Ha'aretz, Israel), Duo Figer-Khanina (f.2006) is a violin and piano duo formed with the goal of exploring rarely played repertoire composed for these voices. The duo performs regularly in Europe, Israel and North America.
American Record Guide, July / August 2012
The Poulenc Sonata has had a recent resurgence of popularity. Written in 1943 for Ginette Niveu and dedicated to Federico Garcia Lorca, the piece was ignored by violinists for decades. As the opening work of the program it ends up a kind of reference point for the other music. This reading of the Poulenc is a bit aggressive in the faster sections of I and III and a bit maudlin in the slower dramatic sections of III, when compared with Augustin Hadelich's reading (M/J 2011), but it is still a solid interpretation and Figer and Khanina do some excellent playing.

Dr. Gudrun Caspar-Bell's Ratings
Dr. Caspar-Bell is a very intelligent physician. She is not afraid to tell you the truth about your health and will not sugar coat a single thing. In our Canadian culture, we are often timid telling people their overweight or unhealthy because it seen as rude. I would rather have a physician be real with me and tell me how to get better than anything else. She will give you her personal cellphone number out to patients, makes meal plans for her patients, and ensures that every patient she has is getting the best care. Her bedside manners are one thing, but she cares. That caring nature is difficult to find in a "nice and polite" physician now-a-day. It's painful to see such rude comments about her. Just think about it, would you rather be treated and be healthy, or have a pleasant conversation.
She's the House of Saskatoon. If you are able to see her, you're damn lucky.

Was referred to her for a follow up for a pituitary tumour. Her bedside manner was horrible, I went to her for a pituitary tumour and ended up getting a lecture about weightloss and diabetes. I get that she sees horrible effects of diabetes but what about my pituitary tumour? Interns were very thorough and had very good bedside manners, glad they didn't learn rudeness from her! Would hate to be under her care all the time. Would drive to Regina or out of province instead.

i am so far impressed with caspar bell she seems very educated and tells it like it is. caspar bell has a good bedside manner and is trying to help me figure out what is wrong. her secretary needs to learn that patients are phoning to get answers not to be told very rudely that " we will phone u when we do ok"' i did not appreciate the attitude!!!!!!! i have already waited well over a yr to have it dragged out further than it needs to be .

Dr.Caspar-Bell was the only doc who did not give up on me. I was sent to so many doctors, and specialists who gave me a 2 second exam and a "usual" diagnosis and sent me packing with more drugs that did not help me in any way. She admitted me for 2 weeks and did the most thorough exams and testing that i have ever heard of. She had other departments of medicine involved, and would not allow me to be discharged until there was an answer. She is a bit rough around the edges, and quite blunt. However i appreciated that when it came to my health. I was glad to have someone who did not take no for an answer when it came to emergency scanning and testing, and someone who would not give up. I am eternally grateful.

She is the only Dr. who would not give up on my son. Even after testing did not show the expected results. When other doctors could not find the reasons for his symptoms and said it was all in his head. she kept saying "what if it was my son". she has worked tirelessly for us.Now that receptionist needs to get fired...we call her THE GATE KEEPER. If you have trouble with her tell Casper-Bell.

I was very impressed with Dr. Caspar-Bell! I saw her the day after my gp appointment where I was referred to her. Very prompt. I did not have an appointment but she fit me in. I only waited ten minutes to get into the exam room. I truly appreciated her concern and her down to earth bedside manner. I wish more doctors would talk to patients like she does.

1.5 hour late for the first appointment of the morning. Did not provide an apology- didn't even acknowledge her tardiness. Did not speak to me directly, spoke only to her resident. Disregarded my 50+ years of controlling my own diabetes. Insinuated that I knew nothing about my own condition and how to control it. Suggested my blood sugars should be between 3.5-4 and under those circumstances I would be in shock! When I told her this, she told me I knew nothing about my condition and that SHE should be in control of my insulin dosages. She asked me to leave my blood sugars for a 4 day/1week/2week period with the nurse in her office, but then I got no followup or feedback. I feel that I cannot return to her as a physician.

WOONSOCKET – The few merchants left in Main Street's prominent Commercial Block have been temporarily forced to close after city officials declared the building unsafe Monday.
Building Inspector Chris Chianese cited the owner, Stamatos Properties of Jamaica Plain, Mass., for failure to provide an approved heating system for the ground floor tenants.
City officials have known of the condition for some time, but the situation apparently came to a head after the Woonsocket Fire Department responded to a report of smoke at the Spoonful of Everything second-hand shop Friday afternoon. Capt. Michael Morin, deputy state fire marshal for the WFD, said investigators determined the cause was an overloaded electrical circuit powering a space heater.
It was the second time firefighters had responded to an electrical fire at the building since Dec. 3, when Liberty Market was extensively damaged. Citing continuing code violations in the building, city officials wouldn't allow the convenience store to reoccupy the site. The owner, Jamil Sheikh, reopened at 118 Main St., across the street, about a week ago.
Rene Belanger, the proprietor of Main Street Flea Market at 105 Main St., said he has permission to go in the store only to remove personal belongings or retrieve items that are already sold until the problems are corrected.
Asked if he was concerned, Belanger said, "Yeah, this is how I make my living. If I don't have a store, I can't make any money."
John Stamatos, the landlord, struck an apologetic tone in a phone interview, saying the heating issues should be corrected by the end of the week – perhaps early next week at the latest.
"This problem is unfortunate," he said. "We didn't want it to come to this. We're trying to get it resolved as quickly as possible."
Stamatos acknowledged that the oil-powered furnace that is supposed to supply heat the ground-floor commercial units hasn't worked for some time. Individual tenants in the affected units have been using electric space heaters.
Stamatos said he has decided not to fix the antiquated boiler as a strategy for addressing the problem. Instead, he's hired a company to switch the heating system to gas. All tenants will have individual heating units in the space leased to them.
Despite the deteriorating condition of the site, city officials consider the Commercial Block a vital architectural component of Main Street. Built in 1902, the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and city officials consider it an increasingly rare example of the turn-of-the-century, mixed-use structures that were once a staple of the traditional downtown.
The three-story building, which encompasses all the addresses from 95-117 Main St., includes 11 commercial spaces on the ground floor, including an old bank, but at least six are currently vacant. The latest refugees include Renaissance Tattoo, which recently relocated to another building on Main Street, and Liberty Market. Harlequin Costumes, a longtime tenant that catered to theater groups, moved out earlier this year, citing issues with heat.
The remaining tenants include a nail salon and several vendors who deal is antiques and second-hand goods. Virtually any passerby can see that the building has taken on a shabby look of late, with piles of debris strewn about the floor of vacant units, grimy storefront windows and entryways scattered with litter – even dog feces, from time to time.
The second story of the building includes 16 dormitory-style apartments, nine of which are currently leased, according to Stamatos. Those tenants were unaffected because they have electrical heating systems, he said.
There is also a third level on the building, but it hasn't been used for anything but storage for some time.
Stamatos Properties bought the property out of foreclosure in 2011 for about $300,000, making some optimistic forecasts about plans for upgrading the building.
Stamatos said the company made those pronouncements in good faith, but it has had to pour more resources than expected into correcting unforeseen problems that seem to be cropping up on a regular basis.

CHICAGO - Indiana's debate about same-sex marriage was once all about morals. Now it's about business.
Two local chambers of commerce and employers led by Cummins, the world's largest maker of big diesel engines, and Eli Lilly, the biggest U.S. maker of insulin products, gave $100,000 each to a campaign against putting a constitutional amendment prohibiting gay unions on the November ballot. Their message: A ban would tell talented workers to stay out of Indiana.
"If we have a climate in our state that makes people feel unwelcome in any way, we think that's bad for Cummins, and we think that's bad for business," Marya Rose, chief administrative officer, said in an interview at the company's Indianapolis offices.
Debate on the matter this week in Indiana's legislature comes a decade after 11 states approved constitutional bans on gay marriage. Now, businesses and executives are taking more active roles in undoing them. Nike Inc. and its executives put up $280,000 in Oregon to repeal that state's measure in November. General Mills Inc. opposed a ban in Minnesota in 2012.
The involvement of business in the heartland Hoosier state could persuade companies to get involved elsewhere, said Joshua Rosenkranz, a lawyer for Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in New York who represented 100 companies in a Supreme Court brief opposing a California ban last year. They included Apple, General Electric and Google.
"The business community increasingly sees marriage equality as a business imperative," Rosenkranz said in an email. "The more companies who step forward, the more willing other companies are to join in the fight."
Seventeen states and the District of Columbia have legalized gay marriage, including Illinois, Minnesota and Hawaii, whose legislators voted last year. New Mexico, the only state without a law allowing or prohibiting it, was barred by its highest court Dec. 19 from denying anyone marriage.
Claims that bans hurt business are "totally ridiculous" and made by "cultural elites," said Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage. The Washington-based group describes itself as "a nonprofit organization with a mission to protect marriage and the faith communities that sustain it."
"Eli Lilly and Cummins are betraying their own business principles," Brown said in a telephone interview from Philadelphia. He argued that more than half of their customers "support marriage as between a man and a woman."
In Indiana, where Republicans control both legislative chambers, lawmakers held a first committee hearing Jan. 13 without voting on putting the amendment on the ballot. It would recognize only marriages "between one man and one woman" and also reject "a legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals," which opponents said could affect domestic-partner benefits from some companies and cities.
Executives for Cummins, which has 46,000 employees in more than 60 countries and its headquarters in Columbus, and Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly, with about 38,000 workers worldwide, joined a coalition called Freedom Indiana to block the amendment. They said they need to recruit engineers, scientists and other "knowledge" workers, and that the amendment would impede them -- especially when employees can work in states where they can marry.
Rose told of an engineer whom Cummins spent two years training -- only to have him leave because his partner in California wouldn't move to Indiana.
Besides Cummins and Lilly, 29 companies, universities and other organizations have opposed the amendment. A bipartisan group of mayors, including Greg Ballard, R, of Indianapolis, are opposed, according to Freedom Indiana.
Indiana's unemployment rate was 7.3 percent in November, compared with 7.0 in the U.S. Its economic health ranks 17th from the second quarter of 2012 through the same period last year, according to the Bloomberg Economic Evaluation of States.
A negative and expensive ballot fight would distract from education and more critical needs, said Robert Smith, senior director of corporate responsibility at Lilly.
"This will feel like the definition of a self-inflicted wound," Smith said in an interview at the company's headquarters. "It was important for us to lead. If we didn't do it, who would?"
Businesses generally avoid divisive issues for fear of a backlash from employees, shareholders and customers. The fast-food chain Chick-fil-A Inc. faced calls for boycotts from supporters of gay marriage in 2012 when its chief executive said his company endorsed the "biblical definition of the family unit."
"The businessman's perspective is that social issues are not something they want to be involved with," said Doug Whitley, president and chief executive of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. Whitley said the chamber did not lobby on the gay-marriage bill in Illinois that was given final approval by lawmakers Nov. 5 and will take effect in June.
Even so, Whitley said there has been a "generational change in attitude" toward same-sex marriage, and as older Americans leave the workforce, states need to be mindful of younger workers who will replace them.
Not all Indiana companies are taking a position. While chambers in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, the state's two largest cities, opposed it, the statewide body that includes firms in rural areas said it couldn't reach consensus.
An October poll by WISH-TV and Ball State University showed that while 58 percent of Indiana residents opposed the amendment, 48 percent supported legalizing gay marriage, compared with 46 percent who oppose it. The response varied by age, with almost three-fourths of those under 24 favoring same-sex marriage and only about a quarter of those 65 and older.
Indiana already bans gay marriage. The amendment would prevent a judge from overturning the state law, said Micah Clark, director of the American Family Association of Indiana, which bills itself as "the state's premier decency organization."
"The future of marriage doesn't belong in the hands of Eli Lilly or Cummins," Clark said. "It doesn't belong in the hands of the media or Hollywood activists. It belongs in the hands of voters."
Michael Huber, president and chief executive of the Indianapolis Chamber, said his group wants to highlight the economic effect.
"We hope that it helps to take a lot of the emotion out of the issue and start to get people thinking about it as a practical business issue," Huber said.
Framing the issue in economic-development terms makes a difference in the debate, said Rep. Ed Clere, the only Republican lawmaker to oppose the resolution when it passed in 2011, who predicted more would vote against it this year. Indiana requires that the same resolution must be adopted by two separately elected general assemblies to reach the ballot.
While many Republicans fear a primary challenge if they don't support the measure, the stand by businesses has "given refuge" for some to change their minds, said House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath.
"With traditional Republican supporters saying, 'Look, this is the wrong thing to do at the wrong time,' it's now allowed some Republican politicians to be able to begin to say, 'Maybe we ought to hold our horses here,'" Pelath said in an interview at the Statehouse.

Ron Paul Suspends Active Campaigning in Future Primaries; Will Continue Delegate Strategyby Free Britney at . Comments
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul announced Monday that his campaign will no longer spend money on future nominating contests due to lack of funds.
Ron Paul is the final challenger to Mitt Romney still running at all.
The Texas Congressman wrote the following letter to supporters:
"Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future."
"Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would require tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have."The 76-year-old Paul encouraged his legion of supporters to continue their efforts in the presidential race as well as down-ballot races across the country and stressed that he will continue working to win delegates.
"In the coming days, my campaign leadership will lay out to you our delegate strategy and what you can do to help, so please stay tuned," Paul wrote.
Two weeks ago, Paul and his supporters cheered the candidate's delegate wins in Maine and Nevada, but as Yahoo News reported, those wins didn't necessarily move Paul any closer to winning his party's nomination.
Paul has long touted a strategy to rack up delegates as a way to become a part of this summer's convention process, absent an outright win.
In any case, he is not dropping out of the race in the absolute sense, just no longer actively spending money in the remaining GOP contests.
How many delegates Ron Paul continues to win during state delegations and what role that gives him at the RNC remains to be seen.
Whatever happens, he's left an indelible mark on the race.
@JC Be careful what you say! The eyes of Texas are upon you! As the old slogan goes, "Don't Mess with Texas"......big mistake!
One thing is for certain. Texas is not going to be dictated to by a radical Government and that includes the one in office now! By the time Obama gets thru with you .... You will be begging for Texas or anyone else to come rescue your ignorant ass.
Typical clueless and ignorant comments (which is not a surprise) coming from and out of Texas.
Ron Paul is an Historian. Someone who understands freedom and the constitution. He wants Obama out of office as much as anyone does and when the time comes he will support Romney and proceed in taking our country out of this Communist Administrations hands. How the voters could have bought into this rhetoric is amazing.
That's too bad Ron Paul's campaign can't get the financial support of the big corporations and big banks like Romney and Obama...but then, of course, he'd be a sell out, like Romney and Obama.

Brunches are particularly hard when you can't have gluten, but these three are winners any time of year — or day. Please note that some people celebrate Passover differently than others and not all dishes meet all dietary requirements.
This gluten-free crust can be the starting point for so many delicious pizza toppings.
- 1 lb Yukon Gold or russet potatoes (2 large potatoes)
- 1 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups grated smoked mozzarella or Cheddar cheese (or regular Cheddar or mozzarella)
- Big handful baby arugula
- 1 egg
1. For the potato crust peel potatoes, leaving them whole. Place in a pot of boiling water. When water returns to a boil cook 10 minutes. Chill potatoes in cold water. Pat dry. Shred potatoes on a coarse cheese grater. Toss with 1/2 tsp salt. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy 10" or 11" non-stick or cast iron skillet. Add potatoes. Pat down firmly to cover bottom of pan. Cook 5 minutes on medium high heat or until crusty and brown. Loosen bottom with a spatula and slip potatoes out of pan onto a baking sheet. Invert back into pan. Cook another 5 minutes or until the second side is crusty and brown.
2. Meanwhile combine remaining 2 tbsp olive oil with remaining salt, rosemary and garlic. Brush on top crust. Sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to a preheated 400F/200C oven for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts.
3. Fry egg in 2 tsp olive oil. When pizza comes out of the oven top with arugula and fried egg. Makes 2 to 4 servings
If you haven't heard, vegetables are the new meat. You can make this with leftover roasted veggies or start from scratch.
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 Yukon Gold potato, peeled and diced (about 12oz)
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 12 oz)
- 1 large beet, peeled and diced (about 6oz)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups chopped beet greens, kale or Swiss chard
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp plain white vinegar
1. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet. Add onions and cook about 2 minutes until slightly wilted. Add Yukon Gold potatoes and cook about 5 minutes longer until just beginning to brown.*<
2. Add sweet potatoes and beets and cook 5 minutes with potatoes. Add water, cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes until tender. Uncover and cook until any liquid evaporates. Add greens. Cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.*<
3. Meanwhile bring a large deep skillet of water to a boil. Add vinegar. Break eggs into water gently. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still fluid. Lift eggs out of water and place on paper towels. Trim away ragged edges. Serve hash with an egg on top. Makes 4 servings
A frittata is a great base for many toppings. Serve this warm or at room temperature. Leftovers can be cut into squares for appetizers.
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bulb fennel, trimmed and diced
- 3 oz baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup grated Cheddar or Swiss cheese
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt – optional
- 6 oz smoked salmon
1. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof, heavy 10" or 11" non-stick skillet. Add fennel and cook until tender and lightly browned. Add spinach and cook for 30 to 60 seconds just until barely wilted.
2. Beat eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Pour eggs over fennel and spinach. Cook, letting eggs set on the bottom and then rotating uncooked eggs to the bottom. Transfer pan (wrap handle in aluminum foil if it isn't ovenproof) to a preheated 350F/180C oven for 10 to 15 minutes just until the eggs are set.
3. Slide frittata onto a serving plate and arrange smoked salmon on top. Makes 4 servings

Funny thoughts on murder
Never trust a skinny cook. Thin people are murderous and will probably try to poison you.
When lovers die in the movies it's romantic, but when you kill them in real life it's just murder.
Owners make cats wear a bell so they can't sneak up and kill things. So if a cow needs a bell, here's some advice: stay away from that cow.
Nachos are tiny animals drowning in cheese. "I'll save you, little guys!" But who will save them from me?
Why aren't there more comic books about supervillains who use toaster strudels to kill people?
I'm sick of people pushing their moral standards on me. I don't care what they say, I'm going to murder if I want to.
I think I could be close friends with a houseplant. They don't make me angry, and I've never felt guilty for accidentally killing one.
For some reason dropping pianos on people is a lot funnier in cartoons than in real life.
It's a magical time in life when you finally realize that the only way to be truly happy is to kill everyone who makes you unhappy.

How do medical products like Alloderm aid in breast reconstruction procedures?
How is Alloderm Used During Breast Reconstruction?
Doctor Answers (30)
Alloderm inBreast Reconstruction
Reconstruction using a breast implant can generally be accomplished in one of two ways:
* Using a tissue matrix such as AlloDerm in conjunction with a breast implant in a single stage procedure
* Using a tissue expander that is subsequently replaced by a breast implant; this process requires two separate procedures, usually months apart
Breast implants used in reconstruction cannot generally be placed directly in the space created by the removal of breast tissue. The reason for this is that an implant placed directly below the skin will generally not produce cosmetically desirable results and has a high risk of eroding through the surgical incision or through the skin itself.
With the use of a tissue matrix such as Alloderm®, some women are able to avoid the tissue-expansion phase of breast reconstruction in what has been termed a "straight-to-implant" procedure. During this kind of surgery, the lower edge of the pectoralis muscle is detached from the chest and lifted up to form the upper part of a "pocket" that will eventually contain a breast implant. The upper portion of the breast implant is placed under the lifted muscle; tissue matrix is then used to span the space between the edge of the detached muscle and the chest, thereby covering the lower portion of the breast implant. The tissue matrix is attached between the muscle edge and the chest wall so that behind the muscle and the implanted tissue matrix a pocket large enough to accommodate an implant can be created without the need for tissue expansion. Typically, small- to medium-sized breasts can be reconstructed in this manner. (Keep in mind that a second surgical procedure is still typically needed for nipple reconstruction, unless nipple-sparing mastectomy has been performed.)
In addition tissue expansion may be combined with the placement of a tissue matrix such as AlloDerm® to effect more complete coverage of the breast implant. Tissue matrix, attached to the lower edge of the pectoralis muscle and the chest wall can be draped over the lower portion of the implant to provide additional coverage of the impant in order to try to provide a somewhat more natural appearance to the reconstructed breast.
Breast Reconstruction with Alloderm and Implants
Alloderm, or other similar products, are frequently used in breast reconstruction with expanders and implants. The expander or implant is placed below the muscle (pectoralis major). Themuscle only covers the top half of the implant. In the past, other muscles were also mobilized to cover the inferior portion of the implant or expander. In the present time, many surgeons use the Alloderm or similar acellular dermal matrix to cover the lower half of the implant. From El Paso, Las Cruces, Mexico.
Web reference: http://www.elpasoplasticsurgery.com/pages/dr-agullo
Alloderm and breast reconstruction
Alloderm, or any of the other biological products, has taken the place of the lower muscles that used to be integral to breast reconstruction with a tissue expander or implant. When undergoing breast reconstruction with a tissue expander, the expander is covered by your pectoralis major muscle. However, this only covers the top portion of the expander.
Ten years ago, the standard was to lift up some of your abdominal muscle and side muscles to cover the expander completely. Howeever, this has three problems. It was very painful after surgery, disrupted more of your natural anatomy, and did not allow the expander to really create a nice inframammary fold.
The Alloderm has taken the place of these muscles. It allows the expander to really sit where it is placed and create a nice fold, while not disrupting any other anatomy, and there is much less pain. The Alloderm gets incorporated into your own tissue by about 6 weeks, and becomes part of your natural tissue. The infection rate is extremely low, and there is no rejection of the material itself.

Breast reconstruction with Acellular Dermal Matrix
The use of the acellular dermal matrix (such as AlloMax, AlloDerm, FlexHD, etc.) has grown in its applications and use in plastic & reconstructive procedures, and continues to expand. It has truly been a remarkable addition for breast reconstruction.The acellular dermal matrix is a tissue that is specially-prepared, which comes from cadaveric skin. It has been processed in such a way that the basement membrane and cellular matrix remain intact, while removing all other cellular components that may lead to both rejection and infection. Packaged as a sterile tissue product, due to its preparation, the chance of acquiring viruses and such is nearly absent.
Its applications for breast reconstruction alone include its use in tissue expander/implant reconstruction, to act as a "hammock" at the inferior portion of the breast for which the implant lies within. This creates a natural "sling" which mimics the ptosis (sag) of the breast, while supporting it in place. By suturing this matrix to its exact position of the breast margins, the plastic surgeon is able to precisely recreate an excellent contour for your breast, especially at the inferior, medial, and lateral positions. This also minimizes migration of the implant, as sometimes seen with "bottoming out" inferiorly or its displacement into the axilla (armpit). In addition to its increased aesthetic results, the acellular dermal matrix provides additional coverage over your implant. This is especially useful in those instances of dehiscence (your incision opening up), thus protecting the implant from exposure, and threatening its necessity for removal. Furthermore, in cases where the overlying mastectomy flaps are thin or damaged, leading to partial flap necrosis, the tissue matrix again provides a coverage over your implant, which can heal over time or a graft placed over the are or simply closed. Lastly, the additional coverage lessens implant visibility and palpability and is a great adjunct for revisionary breast surgery. The use of this matrix, along with the advantages listed above, has reduced the time of the reconstructive portion of the procedure as well. There is less pectoralis muscle retraction and eliminates the need to raise any other surrounding muscles in order to achieve complete implant coverage.
Additional benefits seen with the acellular dermal matrix are numerous. There has been a significantly decreased incidence of capsular contracture around the implant at the area of the tissue matrix. Reasons are unknown as of yet, but contracture has been a huge problem in cases of implants used for reconstruction and augmentation. Also, there are tissue regeneration properties of the matrix in which rather than inciting a scarring response, the dermal matrix begins a regenerative process in which it acts as a biologic scaffold and unbelievably, vessels incorporate into matrix and the surrounding cells differentiate into surrounding tissue that it is incorporated into (an amazing concept).
Overall, the use of the acellular dermal matrix in breast reconstruction has been revolutionary. Its applications for tissue expander reconstruction, possibility to use in immediate implant reconstruction (going directly to implants rather than the use of a tissue expander first), revisionary breast surgery, capsular contracture complications, and nipple reconstruction have been great.

Acellular dermal matrix (alloderm)
acellular dermal matrices are products that may be used as part tissue expander or implant-based breast reconstruction. These products are sutured in place over the breast expander or implant and beneath the skin. They may aid in maintaing the inframammary crease of the breast and providing additional coverage over the implant
Role of Alloderm in Breast Reconstruction
Alloderm is a materai dervied from processed human dermis, which the strong layer of the skin. Alloderm is used to supplement the strength and thickness of the mastectomy skin flaps to allow for use of implants in cases where the breast implant might extrude, or displace by stretching out the mastectomy flap, or be more likely to form a capsular contracture particularly after radiation therapy.
While Alloderm may help to reduce the chance of those problems, I prefer to use the patients own tissues for breast reconstruction.
These techniques include TRAM flaps, TRAM free flaps, and DIEP perforator flaps. For more information on these and other breast reconstruction options see nybreastreconstruction.com
"The first use of alloderm in the breast"
This procedure of using Alloderm for breast surgery was first utilized by me in 2010.The idea was to extend the pectoralis muscle and avoid expanders. Since that time we have performed this procedure on more than 800 breasts with only a small incidence of complications and the procedure has now become the "gold standard " for breast reconstruction.
How Alloderm has helped in reconstruction
As you have read from other plastic surgeons, Alloderm is processed human tissue devoid of cells including immune markers which has greatly improved the quality, predictabilty and options in breast reconstruction. It can provide for a more predictable placement of an implant or expander in am immediate reconstruction as well as increased tissue thickness. It also allows for more precision in the creation/preservation of the fold at the lower part of the breast.
Studies have also shown that it can lower the risk/extent of capsular contracture around the implant even in irradiated tissue which is great news for many.

Alloderm is cadavaric skin that is treated and used as a biologic to reinforce the soft tissue coverage of the lower pole and protect the expander from exposure.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Dermal matrix in breast reconstruction
Alloderm(TM) and other dermal matrix products have increasingly become the norm in tissue expander/implant reconstruction. The basic concept is that dermal matrices have no living cells anymore, but have a scaffolding, template of collagen and other structural molecules that allow your own tissue to grow along the scaffold.
Historically, when expanders/implants were used in breast reconstruction for mastectomy patients, the surgeon would lift up portions of other muscles, like the serratus anterior muscle along the outer aspect of the lower breast, to help provide complete muscle coverage over the device, since the pectorlais major muscle would typically only cover the upper 2/3 to 3/4 of the device. Remember that when a mastectomy is done, the patient no longer has as much tissue to cover the lower pole of the implant compared to a patient undergoing straightforward breast augmentation.
Now, with the advent of matrix materials, the matrix can be sewn to the lower edge of the pectoralis major muscle and the other chest wall muscles do not need to be violated. This may result in less pain, and may allow the expander/implant to sit more naturally in the lower pole of the breast. It may also allow more rapid expansion. Think of the matrix as extending the reach of the muscle, although it does not actually turn into muscle. Some products, like Alloderm (TM), are fairly "stretchy", allowing them to facilitate expansion of the breast without tightening up too much.
Dermal matrices of a less stretchy nature can also be used in the abdominal wall during TRAM flaps to reconstruct the defect in the strength layer (fascia) of the abdomen, to avoid a synthetic mesh.
There are many sources of dermal matrix, including human-, porcine- and bovine-derived products. Surgeons vary in their adoption and preferences of these products.

Of course, it is not a masterpiece but it was much better than I expected. Gaspard Ulliel gives a competent perfomance and is a believable Lecter. The directing is pretty good and the story was rather entertaining. Definitely worth a look especially if you loved the previous movies about Hannibal Lecter.

Wanda Sykes is not the kind of person who needs a whole lot of prodding to express her opinions, as evidenced by this exchange (well, not really an "exchange" so much as a "rant") between her and Jay Leno…
Here's my favorite little bit of her rant…
"Jay, I'm a feminist. but I'm sorry, that woman's crazy. That's a crazy, scary lady right there. Gun-toting and, you know, shooting caribou. I mean, come on, Jay. You ask me what do I think about her? There's really nothing to think about. I mean, we don't know anything about her.
"They don't let her talk. They say, 'Oh, she's meeting with the world leaders.' But there's no reporters. I'm like, is she meeting with the world leaders, or did you take her to the Epcot Center? Let her drink around the world? You know, because I've done that. Maybe I should be Secretary of State.
"I have more — you know, the woman, she just got a passport last year. She has been to Mexico. Does this ring a bell, George W. Bush? Come on.
"This was — she hasn't been anywhere. She was like, "I can see Russia from my backyard." What — what — what — while you were delivering letters to Santa Claus at the North Pole? I mean, are we stupid, you know?"
