Spring Valley man to be sentenced in April for felony theft
A Spring Valley man will be sentenced in April for felony theft after pleading guilty to the charge last week in Pierce County Circuit Court.
Alan J. Sukowatey, 66, W3162 650th Ave., will be sentenced Monday, April 14, for felony theft in a business setting up to $5,000.
According to the criminal complaint:
Pierce County sheriff's investigators were notified last April Sukowatey, acting as a trustee for the Herman Sukowatey Trust, deposited a $75,000 check from the Internal Revenue Service in August 2012. The problem is Sukowatey was no longer trustee; he was in that position from 2008-2010.
Bank records indicate the check was deposited into the AJS Development account and transferred out several weeks later to a Minnesota business.
Sukowatey told the current trustee in an e-mail he would return the funds last summer. He refused to answer messages from investigators while the investigation was ongoing.
He was officially charged last July with felony theft greater than $10,000, but pled down to the lesser charge as part of the agreement.

My own worry here is not about the API, but the implementation. I'm worried that it is using more memory, and I don't know how we can be sure whether it will be faster without implementing both.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon, everybody. I am eager to take your questions, so I'll try to be brief at the top.
This morning I had a chance to speak with Speaker Boehner. And I told him what I've been saying publicly, that I am happy to talk with him and other Republicans about anything — not just issues I think are important but also issues that they think are important. But I also told him that having such a conversation, talks, negotiations shouldn't require hanging the threats of a government shutdown or economic chaos over the heads of the American people.
Think about it this way, the American people do not get to demand a ransom for doing their jobs. You don't get a chance to call your bank and say I'm not going to pay my mortgage this month unless you throw in a new car and an Xbox. If you're in negotiations around buying somebody's house, you don't get to say, well, let's talk about the price I'm going to pay, and if you don't give the price then I'm going to burn down your house. That's not how negotiations work. That's not how it happens in business. That's not how it happens in private life.
In the same way, members of Congress, and the House Republicans in particular, don't get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs. And two of their very basic jobs are passing a budget and making sure that America's paying its bills. They don't also get to say, you know, unless you give me what the voters rejected in the last election, I'm going to cause a recession.
That's not how it works. No American president would deal with a foreign leader like this. Most of you would not deal with either co- workers or business associates in this fashion. And we shouldn't be dealing this way here in Washington.
And you know, I've heard Republicans suggest that, well, no, this is reasonable, that this is entirely appropriate. But as I've said before, imagine if a Democratic Congress threatened to crash the global economy unless a Republican president agreed to gun background checks or immigration reform. I think it's fair to say that Republicans would not think that was appropriate.
So let's lift these threats from our families and our businesses, and let's get down to work. It's not like this is a new position that I'm taking here. I had Speaker Boehner and the other leaders in just last week. Either my chief of staff or I have had serious conversations on the budget with Republicans more than 20 times since March.
So we've been talking all kinds of business. What we haven't been able to get are serious positions from the Republicans that would allow us to actually resolve some core differences. And they have decided to run out the clock until there's a government shutdown or the possibility of default, thinking that it would give them more leverage. That's not my characterization. They've said it themselves. That was their strategy from the start. And that is not how our government is supposed to run.

How management style moderates the relationship between abusive supervision and workplace deviance: An uncertainty management theory perspective
Based on uncertainty management theory [Lind, E. A., & Van den Bos, K., (2002). When fairness works: Toward a general theory of uncertainty management. In Staw, B. M., & Kramer, R. M. (Eds.), Research in organizational behavior (Vol. 24, pp. 181-223). Greenwich, CT: JAI Press.], two studies tested whether a management style depicting situational uncertainty moderates the relationship between abusive supervision and workplace deviance. Study 1, using survey data from 379 subordinates of various industries, found that the positive relationship between abusive supervision and organizational deviance was stronger when authoritarian management style was low (high situational uncertainty) rather than high (low situational uncertainty). No significant interaction effect was found on interpersonal deviance. Study 2, using survey data from 1477 subordinates of various industries, found that the positive relationship between abusive supervision and supervisor-directed and organizational deviance was stronger when employees' perceptions of their organization's management style reflected high rather than low situational uncertainty.

The original Hanaukyo series were 12 minute episodes, very ecchi and funny as hell. When it was licensed it was remade drastically to make it into a series of 25 minute episodes. Not all the changes were good, but for the most part they were all right. Verite was supposed to have a second season, but it never appeared for some reason
Both are awsome shows though, funny as hell with Verite still keeping s bit of ecchi, but no where near as much as the original
DearS, Girls Bravo, Iketeru Futari, Psychic Academy, are all good ones worth watching.

The change is ever so subtle at first, but Avon Lake's Sean Oxley cues in on it instantly. There's an avoidance of eye contact in his opponent, a slowness of step … then it begins. Slowly but surely, the onrush of the Shoremen's defense takes its toll.
"We always say you want to get the first punch in there," said senior defensive end Oxley. "And once you do that to a team, you can feel it wear on them both physically and mentally. You keep doing it, and after a while it just seems like they don't want to even play anymore."
The Shoremen try to grind the will out of their opponents, like squeezing the air out of a balloon. The harder the pressure, the faster it deflates. Avon Lake followed this pattern to perfection during the regular season — building a 10-0 record — and will attempt to apply it tonight at the start of the regional quarterfinals. The Shoremen, the top seed in Division II's Region 6, host eighth-seeded Midview (8-2).
Avon Lake has given up 126 points this season, a meager 12.6 per-game average. But that number does not begin to illustrate the effectiveness of the Shoremen attack. Fifty-four of those points came in the fourth quarter of blowout victories, long after the starters had been replaced by second-teamers. Avon Lake has allowed only three first-quarter touchdowns — two of which came in the first week of the season — and against their last four opponents the Shoremen's starting unit has allowed just six points. For the year, teams are averaging just 2.7 yards per carry.
The Shoremen have overwhelmed opponents and put games away early. In the only instance in which a game was in doubt, back on Sept. 28 when North Olmsted jumped ahead 20-7, Avon Lake rattled off 34 consecutive points to close out the victory.
Last week, Avon Lake held Southwestern Conference rival Amherst to just 156 total yards. Afterward, coach Kevin Fell lamented, "We couldn't move the football. Their defense was as good as any we've seen. We couldn't counter. We couldn't run off tackle."
There are no grand schemes that make the Avon Lake defense work. The team has followed the same rudimentary principles of past years: five down linemen — led by defensive tackles Aaron Grunick, Sam Brown and Sean McCann — clogging the middle, freeing defensive ends Oxley and Zach Murray and linebackers Mike Haddad and Dave Henderson to race sideline to sideline making tackles.
When Avon Lake coach Dave Dlugosz sits down with his coaching staff during the summer to determine which players can best be utilized, he follows a fairly simple guide.
"When we put our defense together every year, we start by taking our 11 best athletes and find a way to make them fit," said Dlugosz. "Typically, the offense gets all the press and all the notoriety. But we know it all starts with having a good, solid defense. It's the base of what we do. And if they're good enough athletes to play both ways, great. If not, they're going to play defense."
But according to senior cornerback Kevin Mansnerus, athletic ability is about only half of the equation.
"We're a fast group and we like to hit hard, but I think what makes it really work is how much chemistry we have together," said Mansnerus. "In the last half of the year, that's been the biggest change. We're not just great athletes — we know how to play together."
Oxley grew up in Indiana with a lifelong love of football. But it wasn't until he moved to Avon Lake that he appreciated what a hold the game has on the community.
"It was totally different," he said. "Football is just really intense and I don't think people appreciate that that don't live here. It's the atmosphere."
From an early age, football is taught as a physical, punishing game. Grunick recalls his middle school years as a rigorous education in the rules of the game and technique.
"By my freshman year, it was totally different," said Grunick. "They're teaching you how to hit harder and get stronger."
One of the first philosophies ingrained in Avon Lake football is winning the battle of first down — forcing opponents into long-yardage situations and a minimum of third-and-shorts. By establishing that advantage, the Shoremen force opponents to abandon a balanced attack.
"It's so important to control first down," Avon Lake defensive coordinator Ed Citro said. "Even with the way teams are passing now, it still comes down to whether you can force somebody into being one-dimensional. If you can take away the running game and force them to pass, it allows you to do so many more things."
Opposing teams have tried to puncture the Shoremen defense with minimal success. In the first game of the year, Avon scored three first-half touchdowns on the strength of its game-breaking athleticism at the skill positions. But by midway through the second quarter, Avon Lake had adjusted and snuffed out the Eagles' fire.
North Olmsted utilized a similar approach — getting its athletes into open space and pushing the Shoremen backward.
Midview will try this, but in a different manner. Middies quarterback Adam Koubek is used out of the shotgun in a spread formation and has passed for 1,082 yards and led the team in rushing with 527 yards.
"We're going to have to try to put more athletic kids, some faster kids that can run in space, rather than the big defensive linemen (on the field)," said Dlugosz. "Midview is basically a running team, not a passing team."
No matter what the style, the Shoremen for the most part try to force teams to adapt to them. There is little to no trickery. And the principal inevitably comes back to the same single element — being physical and draining the opponent of its will.
"We take a lot of pride in being a solid defense every game and every year," said Oxley. "You take away what the other team does best and force them into doing something they don't do well. And you keep hitting them hard."

There is a wealth of information out there about buying your first home. You will talk to ten people and get ten different opinions as to whether this is a good time to buy or not. Buying a home is the first step to financial security and provides an opportunity to establish your roots in society. It is best to get professional advice from a local realtor who knows the market well.
Renting is fine if you are in an area for the short term, but not for the long term. Interest rates are still at a very good level making buying a home affordable for most people.
One of the first things you will want to do is go to the bank or to a mortgage broker to get pre-qualified for a mortgage. The mortgage professional will look at your salary, debt load and credit worthiness to assess what you can afford and what they are willing to lend you. You can compare banks and even negotiate terms of your mortgage. You would want to be able to port your mortgage if you move at a later date and want to take it with you to put on another home. It is a good idea to pay your mortgage biweekly or even weekly, as this can save you many dollars in the long run. By knowing what you can afford will help you zero in on homes that are appropriate for your price range.
Another consideration to think about is whether you want to buy a resale or a new home. There are pros and cons to both. New homes have never been lived in, so you can decorate it to your personality and not adopt someone else's decor. New homes are more stylish and modern, whereas older homes may have more character. Older homes may need more repairs as things start to break down. New homes would still have home warranties in place so you wouldn't have to worry about repairs for some time. Landscaping will be more mature in a used home and may have added features such as a swimming pool, deck, finished basement and air conditioning. You will have to spend money to landscape in a new home and do paving and fencing. This has to be added to the initial costs as well. You can see this decision to buy new or used is a very personal one.
Another question you may have is do you buy a detached home or a condo? If you want to start a new family, a detached home is nice as you can take the kids out in the back yard and play. There is usually no play area in a condo project.
However condos have a life style all their own. You usually get a number of amenities in a condo such as party room, fitness, pool, billiards, games room, etc., making condo living quite sociable. You can leave on vacation and not worry about having someone pick up your mail or cut your grass while away, which is not the case in a detached property. Some people say they don't like the maintenance fees one has to pay in a condo. Usually a large percentage of maintenance fees are utility costs (heat, hydro and water), as well as the upkeep of the condo project. You have maintenance costs in a home as well. You also have to pay for your utilities in your home. All the upkeep and repairs in a home are your responsibility, which can add up over time. It pretty much evens out as far as maintenance costs for both condo and detached homes. In fact it may cost a little more in a detached home as it ages.
Be sure you seek out a good real estate lawyer to review your contract, especially new condos which can have quite complex agreements and can have hidden costs that can add up.
In closing, be cautious, be smart and do your homework. Use professionals to assist you, as this is the largest investment you will probably make in your lifetime.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Welcome, My answers are for educational purposes only. Remember please, that we do not get paid if you do not click 'accept' / give positive ratings!
I'm not sure I am reading these right...
Is the result 0.98 and the negative value is up to 1.09?
My number is ***** w
what is the 1.09 number? the break for uupper end of normal?
Negative <0.91Equivocal 0.91 - 1.09Positive >1.09
so a question first
did you have symptoms that prompted this blood test?
if so, what where they?
I am not sure if I have any symptoms.
I don't see any sores
I just did it for safety
so the blood test is a very poor screening tool
and should not be done for those purposes
the good news is that your result is negative
so we can say that you have not been exposed to the virus, or, rather, that your body has not had a reaction to the virus in the past
and without current symtpoms i think it is safe to say that you do not have HSV
standing by
Ohh I see. although 0.98 falls in the equivocal range
the blood test alone will not tell you if you have herpes... it will only tell you if you have ever been exposed to either hsv1 or hsv2
most people HAVE been exposed and their bodies HAVE formed antibodies to the virus
but of these people only a fraction have the disease
the 'gold standard'
is a viral culture of an open sore that is suspected to be herpes
since you have not had sores or blisters it is a good bet that you do not have the disease
when you mean sore - you refer to sores in the genital or mouth
I have been to a general physician and urologist and they haven't found anything in my genitals
why the concern?
I have had frequent urination issues which was due to Irritable bowel syndrome or more towards food related
unfortunate symptoms, but not related to herpes at all.
Out of fear and anxiety, I got tested for this 10 different STD tests that stdtestexpress.com recomneds
without symptoms this kind of testing is only helpful if all tests are negative
a physician would not test without symptoms
and, to be fair, i would consider your tests, with your lack of symtpoms, a convincing negative.
OK. Can we talk to you over the phone ?
no, that is not permitted by site policy, i am sorry.
I am planning to get married
in fact, the site will block emails and phone numbers even if you try to type them in
that's great
So should be no problem
rite ?
no, i think you can honestly tell your fiancee that you have been thorougly tested for STDs and that you do not have any
do you have further questions for me about this?
Yes, couple more
go ahead.
I hear HSV-1 is very common
among the population
they are both very common
about 16-20% for gential herpes
Would you recommend me getting tested again for HSV-1
higher for oral herpes
no i would not recommend it.
a positive test doesn't mean you have the disease
it only means your have been exposed
ulcers, recurrent ulcers or blisters, and then I would get a test, if you don't have them then I would not get tested again
OK. I do get mouth ulcers or blisters, but I have had since my young ages.
my dad had it for a long time
then when you have these getting a swab directly from the ulcer is when to get tested
the blood tests are not helpful
OK. I got it.
anyting else today?
No need for any medications rite ?
certainly not at this point

French Chef David Martin continues his culinary journey by bringing you his new recipe, revisiting the Alloco african dish. Chef Martin's latest creation is an ideal vegetarian recipe, healthy and tasty, that you can easily make at home.
Not only is the Chef sharing with you his latest recipe, he also teaches you about his cooking techniques using Malaysian Palm Oil, oil that is 100% trans fat free.
The French government's planned palm oil tax was withdrawn in the National Assembly in June as part of the revision of the biodiversity bill. The removal of the tax led to protests from Greens, but was supported by the palm oil sector. In my opinion removing the tax was the right thing to do.
Food and fuel; fuel and food. The two essentials that humanity has sought to produce, and provide for, since time immemorial. Palm oil – used by the ancient Egyptians, then more recently cultivated in West Africa and latterly in Malaysia and Indonesia – is a source of both
The EU's health policy should be aimed at improving the health of its citizens. That would normally be taken as a given. However, the European Commission's recently released Roadmap on Trans Fats falls short in this regard.
2017 marks 100 years of Malaysian palm oil. In 1917 the first commercial oil palm plantation was established at Tennamaram. This year the Malaysian palm oil industry celebrates its centenary.Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong, Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, knows the history of oil palm in Malaysia well. Palm oil has played an important role in the successful development of his home state of Perak, whether in oil palm plantations or downstream processing.

Please join the College of Liberal Arts for the University Forum Lecture " Death Valley National Park: A New History of an Old Place," a talk by Char Miller, professor of environmental analysis, Pomona College.
Death Valley is the largest national park in the lower 48, an immense, quiet and very hot landscape. It has also been very controversial; until recently, park administrators have resisted accepting the Timbisha people on the land or in the park's official history; and the park itself has been much-neglected, in part because it did not fit the cultural model of a national park (think Yosemite or Yellowstone). In this illustrated talk, Dr. Miller will explore Death Valley's complicated past and some of its contemporary dilemmas, drawn from "Death Valley National Park: A History" (University of Nevada Press), co-authored with the late Hal K. Rothman, a distinguished professor at UNLV.

I am in my late 20's now, but since my early teens, I lamented the fact that I had these sort of "fatty pockets" on either side of my mouth and under my lips. I would like to remove, or reduce the appearance of these. What are the possible procedures that would be most effective? Also when I close my mouth at rest, the skin on my chin kind of puckers - not sure about how to remedy that. Really looking for a permanent reduction procedure (sorry for the red lipstick in some of the pics). Thanks,
Best Way to Remove Fat from Around and Under Mouth?

Treatment of bulges under the lips
The bulges you describe are clearly evident in the photos but it is not clear if they are muscle or fat or some combination of the two. If they are mostly fat liposuction would be a good option. Dimpling of the chin skin when the lips are approximated is called mentalis strain and is usually a sign of receded chin bone. The muscle has to work extra to get the lips to meet. The usual treatment in such cases is a chin implant. From these photos alone it has hard to say which would apply mostly in your case or if both is the best option.

Situational Stress vs. Internal Stress
Two forms of stress exist. The first is known as situational stress, and may be caused by the weather, traffic, another person's behavior, or some other external factor. External stress cannot be controlled, and doesn't lead to illness. However, the second form of stress can cause illness. This type is known as internal stress, and is caused by reactions to external influences. For example, if someone challenges or confronts you, like if another driver cuts […]

Under her complaints of depression and stress were deep feelings of inadequacy fostering a "perfectionist" persona. Her imagination went wild, thinking others were "backstabbing" her at work. She became so tired she developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Her road back is fascinating. She Said It Was Depression M.'s original complaint was being generally depressed and stressed. In psychotherapy for some time, no change had occurred and she was feeling extremely frightened and filled with dread. Memory loss, fuzziness and disorientation, fear of […]
Pain is a perception. Physical pain is a result of long-standing emotional pain, and it comes from somewhere within our emotional memories. People have searched for a solution for their problems for centuries. Psychologists know that they can trace back adult problems to early childhood and some people spend the next fifty years trying to undue the first five. We don't want to only have better coping skills and keep the problem. That would be […]

GRAFTON — The South rose again at this year's Cannon Classic.
Two teams from far south of the tournament site reached the championship match in the 23rd edition of the prestigious tournament Saturday at Midview High School.
Hudson, from Summit County, defeated Louisville, of Stark County, in three games, 22-25, 25-21 and 26-24. It was the first time Hudson ever reached the Cannon Classic final. Louisville made the championship round for the sixth time and the first since winning in 2003.
En route to the title, the Explorers rallied to beat the host team in three games. Midview won the opening game, 25-18, and was ahead in the Game 2 by a 22-20 score before the Explorers came back and won, 25-23. Hudson dominated the third game, 25-13.
"Our matches seem to follow a pattern," Midview coach Debbie Borsz said. "We'll play well in the first game. We think we have it right then we let the other team come back in the second game and we can't always close it out."
The Middies sandwiched their loss in the semifinal with victories over North Olmsted in the first round and Maple Heights in the third-place match. Midview is now 13-5 for the season.
"We have some intensity issues," Borsz said. "We need to maintain intensity. I think we need to work on game-type situations in practice — where we need a point here or a good set or good pass — rather than just do drills."
The Explorers fashioned a balanced attack from middle hitter Elyse Adams with 12 kills and outside hitters Susan Faul and Jade Black with nine kills apiece. But it was Erin Webster, Hudson's junior libero, who bedeviled the Middies in the final two games with her serve receiving, passing and jump-serving. Webster, who was named the Classic's Most Valuable Player, drove a dagger in Midview by serving seven consecutive points, including two aces, to give Hudson a 19-8 lead in Game 3.
Hudson had six of its 10 block kills in Game 3. The Explorers served 10 aces, three each by Webster and Sarah Hanson.
Midview's Jacki Street had six of her team-leading 11 kills in Game 1. Kelsey Voit had eight kills, Sara DuBois added six and Lauren Gauvreau had five. Hannah Duran had 32 assists.
Hudson's victory over Louisville made the Explorers 12-4. Hudson is on a 10-match win streak.
Midview salvaged the tournament by beating Maple Heights in three games in the third-place match. The Middies won the opener 25-22 and lost 25-14 before coming back with a 25-19 win.
Street had six kills and DuBois had four for Midview in the third-place match. Courtney Chalmers had 14 digs and Duran had 22 assists.
Elyria Catholic captured fifth place. After losing to Louisville in three games in the first round, the Panthers downed Midpark, 25-15, 25-13, and defeated North Olmsted, 25-23, 19-25 and 25-20.
The final match was especially pleasing to EC coach Kim Watson.
"This was the first time all season I saw them really communicate," Watson said. "They really came together in that last match."
Freshman setter Brooke Dugan led Elyria Catholic (11-7) with 15 assists and 12 points. Megan Hanson had 11 kills, Zoe Zwegat had 11 blocks and Katie Svat had 30 digs.
North Olmsted (7-11) was playing without top hitter Amanda Balasko, who suffered a concussion in practice.
"That put us in a bind," North Olmsted coach Jason Krucek said.

At least 200 people have died, and five million people have become displaced as the most recent monsoon rains hit the southern part of Pakistan. The country has yet to recover from the devastating floods last year, which displaced 20 million people and killed 1,700, according to the Guardian.
While the rains have been affecting Pakistan since last month, the government has been reluctant to ask for international assistance. They officially declared it an emergency last Thursday, reports the Guardian.
According to the U.N., while the government has reacted swiftly, setting up 4,000 medical camps, and has provided refuge for 150,000 people, Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani's please for international assistance are warranted, reported VOA. Need remain enormous. In a press release, on Saturday, they announced that the world body had launched a response to Pakistan's disaster.
The floods have devastated some of Pakistan's most poverty stricken areas, and provide another challenge to President Asif Ali Zardari, who is struggling to manage a country plagued by shaky finances, militant violence, and political upheaval.
21 districts have been affected by the recent rains and the subsequent flooding that has spread across 4.1 million acres of land. The floods have also destroyed 1.7 million acres of agricultural land, according to Gilani, according to Pakistan Today.
According to the Guardian, more than 300,000 houses have collapsed, as water has been eroding mud walls. Many victims have been electrocuted, drowned, and an infant was crushed by a wall.
Even after the rains have stopped, stopping the spread of disease will be the biggest challenge, as disease can be spread easily by the dead farm animals rotting in the still flood water.
Tens of thousands of families, rendered homeless by last year floods, are still currently displaced.

It should run postgres fairly well, especially if you have quite a few parallel queries coming in. You won't need a bigger BBU cache if it's read-heavy. You'll have eight CPU cores, which is good.

Friday Funk
And to top it off - I finally received sales numbers for INSIDE OUT - they're dismal, horrible, terrible...take your pick. For those hoping for a third book - I doubt my publisher will continue with this series unless my #s go up. And it explains why many bookstores aren't carrying copies of OUTSIDE IN :(
Spring is almost here and with it spring school sports. Which means I turn into my children's private chauffeur. Yes, son is 16 - but just, it'll take 6 months for him to get his license. On a happy note - he had a blast at his surprise party :) Boys are so easy - they played outside for 4 hours, inhaled pizza and drinks, played inside air hockey and foose ball for 2 hours then went home.
I'll stick with the happy note - perhaps it will get me out of my funk.
Some links to contest, interview, and reviews:
27 comments:
*runs off to recommend book even more*ReplyDelete
I hope the happy thoughts ease the funk and that things start looking up with the book sales. For what it's worth, I thought they were both fantastic books, and the reviewers that I keep in touch with agreed.
Sorry about the Friday funk... no fun at all. I am sad the #s aren't great for Inside Out, I really enjoy that series and want it to keep going! I guess I will just have to go get a handful of copies to pass out so other ppl can get hooked too! haha. I hope everything is looking up for you soon and good luck on Touch of Power! The synopsis sounds great and I can't wait to read it.ReplyDelete
First off I really enjoyed Inside Out, which I only got e-reader edition but fully intend to get the hard copy when I can purchase Outside In! However I will do my best to recommend both books to those around me!ReplyDelete
I hope the good thought help get you out of the funk!
AWW! I hope it goes up! I really like your books! Even though, Inside Out is not even out yet in Australia.ReplyDelete
I'm shocked! You are an auto-buy for me, and I loved Inside Out and Outside In, and so did all my fellow reviewers...hmm I'm with Ems, gonna have to plug them puppies some more. I think some friends are about to get birthday books!ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry for you, but even if I loved studies and glass series, I'm not very attracted by the series IN and Outside, it's too futuristic for me. I read the summary and I'm sorry but that doesn't make me desire. However I adore you and I await with impatient Touch of Power. Still sorry… don't lose hope, you're the great, great, great writer.ReplyDelete
So sorry! I have 2 copies of Inside Out and 2 of Outside In. I know all my Poison Study friends are out there buying. I wonder what has happened.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the well wishes! You all are so sweet. Thanks for continuing to spread the word about the books - that's more effective than any marketing I could do :)ReplyDelete
Both books have gotten great reviews and lots of buzz around the blogosphere - it's really odd and was quite a surprise to me that the sales numbers were so low.
Helene - thanks for being honest - I completely understand. The books aren't really futuristic - they're just set in a world that's contained. If you like to read the first chapter on line - here's a link: http://www.mariavsnyder.com/books/InsideOut.php
It's intersting for the books -some readers think it's set in the future and others think it's set in our past :)
I actually haven't made it past the first few pages in Inside Out. As much as I LOVE your other books, I can't seem to get into it. But don't give up, you are an amazing writer and Touch of Power will be ever more successful than you imagined!ReplyDelete
I've been waiting for these two books to come out in Australia for ages! I can't wait to read them!!ReplyDelete
Its sad that your numbers arent high enough. I love your study and glass series and have just found your new books, from reading an excerpt alone im hooked, so that adds 2 more to your numbers...every little bit counts right :DReplyDelete
I have to say bruised ego for you is more like a gee she's not perfect moment for me. ;) I know you are not perfect and it sounds like you need some help. I tell ya what girlene when I have an issue with my muse muscle I go to two places.
A favorite book and the beginning. Go read something for fun. Even a little digital short in the 5-15 K is a great pick me up. I should know I write and read them. As for the beginning... What started this story? What event's got me on that thought path? Sometimes we are so quick to write when we get that spark of inspiration that we write ourselves in a corner. Maybe on all those spring errands you're doing for the kiddos just jotting down notes will keep you from going into the corner.
Do you not have a critique partner who can help you with the flow? Sometimes just a few suggests here and there get the juices flowing again.
Good Luck Maria...it will come together. Chin up.
I just came over to tell you how much I enjoyed Inside Out which I finished last night- only to find this blog post. I'm not a huge dystopia fan but if they were all like this book I'd enjoy them more! Personally, I liked this more than Maze Runner et al. and Mockingjay. Great characters, unique location, and fabulous writing- the pages melted away and when I wasn't reading this I was thinking about it. I'll start spreading the word and see why my library district doesn't have these (they have your others!). Thanks again for giving me a great escape.
You need to get rejected once in a while to keep you human and on your toes. Read something fun, and listen to some quality music while you write to set the mood.ReplyDelete
I read a library copy of Inside Out -- better than I was expecting, to be honest. I have bought all the others and recommend them to everyone who asks for a book recommendation.
We all love you no matter what.
I just finished reading both books (like within the last week!) and have been recommending them to several people already! I loved them and was *really* hoping for a third in the series cuz I have some unanswered questions. :P Sorry things aren't going as well as you hoped, but hopefully we can get the word out! Love you and love your books. :)ReplyDelete
Good lord, I just don't understand how Outside In couldn't have a high selling rate. I for one pre-ordered my copies :) CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT BOOK so please be persuaded out of your funk with these sweet words of everyone who loves your writing so we can read some more :) :)ReplyDelete
I wonder if the numbers are bad because book stores shelved Inside Out in the teen section when all your other books are usually found in the adult SFF section. I would never have known about the book if I hadn't wondered when you're next book was coming out one day and googled your name to get to your site.ReplyDelete
I really enjoy this series and am half way through Outside In which was quite difficult to obtain. None of my local bookstores carried it and I had to order it online. The store didn't even have it in a nearby warehouse and it had to ship to me half way across the country.
Here's hoping for better numbers!
I'm so sorry to hear about the low sales for Inside Out. It was the first book of yours that I read (I know, where have I been?) and I thought it was amazing. Outside In was also just as brilliant - I've been raving about these books since December!ReplyDelete
I'll definitely be helping to spread the word :)
Thanks to everyone who posted!! Writers tend to go in and out of funks and something like a low sales #s & rejection can deepen it.ReplyDelete
LOL - I am not perfect - just ask my family :) Funny story about that - I was writing to a soldier in Iraq (a local man) who enjoyed my books and he had this image of my life as glamorous, with limos, gowns and pearls. When he returned from Iraq, I invited him and his wife over for dinner. When he showed up, I answered the door in a gown - it was great fun :)
Thanks for the advice - I do have a critique partner to help me, which she has in the past when I was really blocked while writing STORM GLASS (I was struggling with Kade and Ulrick - and wanting to avoid the whole love triangle thing, which I don't like - yeah - my characters do NOT listen to me - and who knew Devlen would.... I didn't!).
I also had a local book signing on Saturday. My book signings aren't packed, but I had a nice steady flow of readers and interacting with them ALWAYS improves my mood - just like your comments.
So...thanks for the pep talk :)
I have all of your books (read half and LOVED them) and I'm so surprised that Inside Out hasn't been doing well. It's one of my absolute favorite books!! I seriously waited a year for Outside In and it didn't disappoint!! I was so happy to see more of Riley and Trella and would definitely love to read more about them in another sequel. *crosses fingers that there will be more* I guess I'll have to go out and buy a couple more copies to donate to my school. ;)ReplyDelete
Oh Maria! I'm so sorry to hear that you've been in a funk =( As another reader said: You're an auto-buy for me! You're writing is beautiful, and I loved Inside Out so much. I keep recommending your books to all my friends, and they're all so happy to discover you! I really hope you will be able to continue the series...2 books about Trella are just not enough!ReplyDelete
So sad to hear that about book three! I love this series and was so thrilled to see the Aussie covers last week. Maybe if we give it a great big push down here there will be a third!ReplyDelete
Looking forward to your Australian tour. Will the Melbourne leg (if there is one) coincide with the Melbourne writers festival in August?
We NEED book 3. I just finished Outside In last night. I have to be able to know what happens. I adore this series. It's just not fair, those marketers are buttheads!!ReplyDelete
EEK! I loved the first book and just started the second. I came running here to find out when the 3rd book was coming out. I hate when publishers don't let a series have to chance to finish up and tie up the dangling plot lines... Julie Kenner's "Good Ghouls" comes to mind. Maybe you can wrap things up in a short story or novella and sell it on Amazon IF the 3rd book doesn't come into fruitation.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 31, 2011 at 3:59 PM
I really do hope you end up writing a third book!! I read both Inside Out and Outside In within a few days and they were absolutley wonderful!
- AnonymousApril 9, 2012 at 6:32 PM
I'm really hoping for a third book I'm like half way through the second one! and that seems ridiculous that the numbers were low! i saw outside in in my book store and instantly thought it was awesome! and when my cousin started raving about the books i new i had to read them! I've gotten my friends addicted to other series before (because we like to all read the same series then talk about the books at lunch like our own mini book club) so i will get them to read these books! we must have a number 3!!ReplyDelete
information which is very useful at all, after reading this we are very interested to read the other informationReplyDelete

Lorry driver dies in hospital after M5 coach crash
A lorry driver who was seriously injured when his vehicle collided with a stationary coach on the M5 has died in hospital.
West Midlands Police have not released his name, but said he was a 65-year-old man from Somerset, who was driving an articulated Volvo lorry from Manchester to Devon.He is the second person to lose their life in the accident, which saw a truck drive into the rear of a single decker bus that had broken down close to junction three, near Frankley Services, in thick fog on Saturday morning.A 35-year-old man from Smethwick, who was a passenger on the coach, died at the scene.He had been on his way to his job as a fruit picker in Evesham, Worcestershire, along with the 33 other passengers on the bus.
Ambulance crews treated 40 adults at the accident site. They later transferred 27 people to local hospitals and one of them remains in a critical condition.
The road was closed for eight hours while investigators from Central Motorway Police Group examined the scene.
Officers arrested the 49-year-old coach driver on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and he was later released on police bail.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing.

[b]TL:DR[/b] - Can a Group have multiple alliances? If so how? Fellow Group Admins, gallp13 here, Admin [b]ANZAC Raiders.[/b] Our Group has a single alliance at the moment but seeks to unite all ANZAC Groups in a grand alliance. We started this process today with a alliance invitation to a colleague ANZAC Group. After crafting and sending a carefully worded invitation, we received an error to the effect that our Group already has a single alliance as so no more allies are allowed. Q: is there a way to form alliances with more than one Group? If so, how? Please accept my thanks in advance of any wisdom from fellow Group Admins. Regards gallp13 Admin [b]ANZAC Raiders[/b]

There are times when injuries aren't important, when baseball fades into the background, and when words fail. Instead of trying and watching my fingers flail against a hopeless task, I'll simply point you to the most elegant, powerful memorial I've seen. Take a moment to watch, listen, and feel it.
Powered by remembrance and hope, on to the injuries...
Thanks for all the great suggestions for off-season uses for my time. I'll use many of the suggestions, wish that I could do some of them (My favorite was "Go live with Ken Griffey Jr. and make sure he works out hard." I'm sure Ken and his family won't mind), and I hope that one major project that popped up yesterday will meet with much approval. As I said before, expect announcements soon, regarding all sorts of things on Baseball Prospectus Radio this weekend.
I'm looking for an enterprising reader in Birmingham to set up a Pizza Feed. Any volunteers?

Building the Perfect NFL FranchiseMay 21, 2014
Peyton Manning just turned in arguably one of the five greatest seasons by a quarterback in NFL history, throwing for a single-season record 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns. He earned his fifth league MVP award, cementing his status as the greatest regular-season quarterback ever.
But Manning turned 38 years old this offseason. He has about two years left in his career. Two of the other best quarterbacks in the game, Tom Brady and Drew Brees, are also approaching the final stretch of their career.
So who would you choose if you were building an all-time keeper NFL team from scratch? In this league, you keep the player for the remainder of his career. You can take Manning, but you'd need a new quarterback in two years. You could take Aaron Rodgers and hopefully have eight more years of dominant play. Or you could pick one of the top young quarterbacks and have 12 more great years.
That's what I did here, using this philosophy for every position, 11 on offense and 11 on defense. I chose a standard 4-3 defense but remained flexible, meaning a pass-rusher may line up at either defensive end or outside linebacker. Any player in the NFL was eligible, including rookies.
Quarterback: Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts (24)
There were a couple of options for the top quarterback. Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers is just 30. But I'm slightly concerned about his injury history, and he hasn't been quite as dominant over the last two years. Other options included Seattle's Russell Wilson, San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick, Carolina's Cam Newton and Philadelphia's Nick Foles. But each of the three is a) older and b) not as talented as my number-one choice.
And that would be Andrew Luck, the most physically gifted quarterback prospect in the game. It's not about the stats with Luck. He's not at the point in his career where he posts dominant stats. He's just the most important player on his entire team, and it's not even close. He doesn't have a Marshawn Lynch or LeSean McCoy helping him out. He's surrounded by average offensive talent and a subpar offensive line, but the master of fourth-quarter comebacks seems to always find a way to get it done.
Just 24 years old, Luck is due for a breakout season in 2014. If not in 2014, it'll be in 2015. He's going to be a multiple-time MVP and Super Bowl champion by the time his career is finished.
Running Back: LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles (25)
Perhaps the hardest position to choose on this team was running back. I'm all about picking young players, and LeSean McCoy definitely has some mileage. The NFL's rushing champion in 2013 just finished his fifth season, and he carried more than 300 times in 2013.
But McCoy is the best young (25 or under) back in the NFL. Eddie Lacy had a great rookie season but he's just 2 years younger than McCoy. I'd rather go with sure greatness in McCoy, even if I only get two to three more years of dominant play.
Wide Receivers: Alshon Jeffery, Chicago Bears (24) and AJ Green, Cincinnati Bengals (25)
No, I did not pick 29-year-old Calvin Johnson, although it was very tempting. I prefer younger talent on my team. Cleveland's Josh Gordon would have been my top choice, but he can't stay out of trouble. I'm not risking anything on him.
That makes Alshon Jeffery, 2013's breakout receiver, the top option. Jeffery is just 24, and he posted 1,421 receiving yards in his sophomore season.
On the other side of the field, I'll go with Cincinnati's AJ Green, the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft. Green is tremendously talented, and he's increased his production over each of the last two seasons. I'd probably pick him over Jeffery if they were the same age.
Slot Receiver: Cordarrelle Patterson, Minnesota Vikings (23)
I chose a slot receiver over a second tight end. Minnesota's Cordarrelle Patterson is the quintessential slot receiver. His speed makes him a mismatch for any defensive back. He caught 45 passes and scored four touchdowns as a rookie, although he also had Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder throwing him passes. With Patterson, you also have a dynamic return man, a player who averaged a ridiculous 32.4 yards with two touchdowns.
Tight End: Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints (27)
No longer is Rob Gronkowski the top tight end on this list. He might not even be second. He just cannot stay healthy.
New Orleans' Jimmy Graham led the entire league with 16 receiving touchdowns in 2013. At 6'7'' with blazing speed, he is the most feared tight end, perhaps ever. He's almost impossible to cover one-on-one. His age, 27, makes him the oldest player on the team, but he probably still has six to eight great seasons left.
Offensive Tackles: Trent Williams, Washington Redskins (25) and Tyron Smith, Dallas Cowboys (23)
It was tempting to consider a player like Luke Joeckel or Jake Matthews, but neither has proven himself at the NFL level. Washington's Trent Williams, a former top-five overall pick, is the safest choice. He's just 25 and graded as the top tackle in the NFL in 2013, per Pro Football Focus.
Dallas' Tyron Smith can play right tackle. He struggled during his first two years but turned in a breakout third year, as many tackles tend to do. He graded as the fifth-best offensive tackle in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus.
Offensive Guards: Greg Robinson, St. Louis Rams (21) and Chance Warmack, Tennessee Titans (22)
There are no clear-cut young offensive guards that would be a slam dunk to make this team. I considered Larry Warford, the rookie for the Detroit Lions who dominated last year. But he was just a third-round pick, and I am concerned that he's hit his ceiling already.
I'm going to go with Greg Robinson, who was just drafted second overall by the St. Louis Rams. Robinson is a physical freak who can play tackle or guard. He's a tremendous run blocker who should be able to play at a high level immediately. He's also 21 years old.
My other guard will be Chance Warmack, the first-round pick by the Titans a year ago. Even though he didn't play well as a rookie, I have complete confidence that he will become an elite player within two or three seasons.
Center: Travis Frederick, Dallas Cowboys (23)
Just edging out Philly's Jason Kelce, Travis Frederick drew a lot of scrutiny when he was drafted in the first round by the Dallas Cowboys in 2013. But he played extremely well as a rookie, grading out as the seventh-best center in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus. He finished first in run-blocking. At 23, Frederick will only continue to improve.
Defensive Tackles: Gerald McCoy, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (26) and Geno Atkins, Cincinnati Bengals (26)
The best and most underappreciated defensive tackle in the NFL, Gerald McCoy has been a model of consistency since he was selected third overall in the 2010 draft. He enjoyed his best season in 2013 and should continue to play at a dominant level for another half-decade or more.
With Geno Atkins, I'm banking on a once-dominant player to successfully return from an ACL tear, an injury that has now become almost routine in the NFL world. Atkins is the most feared pass-rushing defensive tackle in the NFL.
Defensive Ends: JJ Watt, Houston Texans (24) and Robert Quinn, St. Louis Rams (24)
The strength of this defense will be the defensive ends. JJ Watt is probably the best defensive player in the NFL. He's played three years, and the last two were among the greatest by a defensive lineman in league history. He's virtually unblockable and on this dream team, he will be single-teamed every play.
Robert Quinn, just 24, was the breakout defensive player of the year in 2013. He collected 19 sacks and forced seven fumbles. On the Rams current defensive line, he has a chance to compete for the league lead in sacks every year for the next half decade.
Linebackers: Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers (23), Lavonte David, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (24) and Von Miller, Denver Broncos (25)
An absolute tackling machine, Kuechly is the best linebacker in the National Football League. He earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2012 and Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2013. He's going to be the next Ray Lewis.
Lavonte Davis is one of the most underrated defensive players in the league, but he's just 24 and dominated the stat sheet in 2013. David collected six sacks, five interceptions and 145 tackles.
I'm taking a leap of faith with Von Miller as my third linebacker. He tore his ACL in 2013, but I am expecting him to be able to continue his career at an elite level.
Cornerbacks: Richard Sherman, Seattle Seahawks (26) and Joe Haden, Cleveland Browns (25)
Obviously, Richard Sherman is the top choice at cornerback. He surpassed Darrelle Revis as the league's best cornerback in 2013. He intercepted eight passes and allowed just a 47.3 passer rating in the regular season before making the play of the postseason to send the Seahawks to the Super Bowl against division rival 49ers.
On the other side of the field, Cleveland's Joe Haden gets the nod. Although he's played four years, Haden is just 25. He's immensely talented and underrated, good enough to cover, and shut down, any number one receiving threat in the league.
Safeties: Earl Thomas, Seattle Seahawks (24) and Kenny Vaccaro, New Orleans Saints (22)
The best safety in the NFL, Earl Thomas is still just 24 years old. He's tremendous in coverage and can lay the big hit when needed.
Kenny Vaccaro was the best rookie safety in the league in 2013 until he broke his leg in December. He's a movable chess piece on the defensive side of the ball, able to play the run and the pass as called upon. He's just 22.
Head Coach: Chip Kelly, Philadelphia Eagles (50)
Bill Belichick is probably nearing the end of his career as a head coach. I think he's the greatest in league history, but I'm not selecting him over a significantly younger coach.
Jim and John Harbaugh would be terrific options as would Sean Payton or Pete Carroll. But no coach exceeded expectations as much as Chip Kelly did during his first year in Philadelphia.
Kelly took a 4-12 last-place team and led the Eagles to a 10-6 record and a division title. The Eagles scored 280 points in 2012 and 442, a franchise record, in 2013. Nick Foles went from a mediocre boring backup quarterback in 2012 to a player who threw 27 touchdowns and just two interceptions in 2013.
Kelly has built the Eagles the way he wants them. He's turned that roster around so quickly nobody remembers the pitiful end of the Andy Reid era. He's a future Super Bowl-winning head coach.

I'm currently 15 years old, and I really hate my chin and nose. I feel as if they're both too big, and not at all flattering. How old would I need to be for both Rhinoplasty and Genioplasty? How much would both of these cost, too? I would also like a lip augmentation, but that's the least of my problems.
I Really Hate My Chin/nose, What's The Age Requirement To Get This Fixed?
Doctor Answers 8
Youngest Age For a Female Rhinoplasty and Chin Implant
Young women must be both physically and mentally mature to undergo a rhinoplasty. Mentally, they have to be able to understand the seriousness, risks, and alternatives of the procedure. Physically, women that have started their menstrual cycle are typically ready. I hope this helps.

Chin and Nose Reduction
Nasal and chin surgery are appropriate for most 15 year old ladies who are physically mature. Both can be reduced if necessary during the same operation. Cost will depend on what is done and the experience of your surgeon. You will need your parents' permission for surgery. Pictures would be helpful for us to recommend what should be done.

Age for rhinoplasty and chin enhancement
I prefer to do this procedure at an age of physical and mental maturity. This , of course, can vary tremendously. Your age alone would not be a hinderance to an assessment and consultation.

Under 18 Chin/Nose #nosejob
Certainly your nasal and chin structures are mature enough to undergo surgery. You need to make sure that you make informed decisions because you can't take this one back. Cost will vary greatly depending on who you see. The best thing you can do is find a board certified surgeon who is qualified to perform these procedures. Talk to that person on several different occasions. Speak to patients they have operated on and when you are ready move forward.
Rhinoplasty and Chin Reduction Age Limit
Rhinoplasty is often performed simultaneously with genioplasty to create a more harmonious balance between these two structures. We typically wait until age 15-17 to perform these procedures to ensure that the face has reached maturity. Each patient is different, so the decision to proceed is made on an individual basis. The total fee for these two is approximately $8000, depending on exactly what you'd like done to your nose. I hope you find this information useful.
I really hate my chin/nose, what's the age requirement to get this fixed?
Hello, it is advisable for a female patient to wait until she has been on her menstrual cycle for at least two years before performing a rhinoplasty. It is impossible to advise you without photos. Have your parents schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. Good luck to you.
Age for rhinoplasty and chin augmentation
Rhinoplasty and chin augmentation are frequently performed at the same time. A weak chin may be the result of an underdeveloped jaw. If your underprojected chin is also associated with a severe overbite, you may benefit from a dento-facial evaluation by an oral surgeon. Your dentist can determine if this is appropriate for you.
A standard rhinoplasty can be performed once you have reached both physical and emotional maturity. In females, the nose is considered fully developed by 15-16 years of age. Except for cases of severe nasal irregularities, I typically recommend that women wait until 18 years of age to undergo a cosmetic surgical procedure, as they are typically more emotionally mature and better equipped to deal with surgery at that age. If you feel strongly about pursuing this option now, you and your parents should meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine your best options and timing.
All the best,
Dr. Skourtis

Celebrate Memorial Day with KlostermanMay 24th, 2010
In a few days, we will observe Memorial Day, a day that commemorates service members who have fallen in the line of duty. It is especially important to remember the fallen in this time of war, so take a minute out of your day and reflect on what their sacrifice means to you. But Memorial Day isn't only a day to remember their deaths; it is also a day to celebrate their lives.
In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also used as a time for picnics, barbecues, family gatherings and sporting events. It is the unofficial beginning of summer, which means the beginning of vacation and fun! Share this pudding recipe with your family and friends for Memorial Day:
French Cherry Pudding:
- 3 1/2 oz. Butter
- 3 1/2 oz. Sugar
- 3 1/2 oz. Stale bread, cut up or leftover French toast
- 1 bag Frozen pitted sweet cherries
- 3 large Eggs (yolks beaten, whites stiffly beaten)
- 4 oz. Bordeaux wine
- Apricot jam (to taste)
- Vanilla (to taste)
- Kirsch (to taste)
Crumble the bread into small parts. Mix bread in a bowl, with the well-softened butter. When well mixed, add sugar, vanilla and egg yolks one at a time. Add the cherries which were cooked in syrup made of 5 ounces sugar and 4 ounces Bordeaux wine. Drain and cool the cherries thoroughly before adding to the mixture. Mix in stiffly beaten egg whites and pour the pudding into a buttered mold, sprinkled with breadcrumb parts. Bake in oven at 425° for 30-40 minutes and serve with cherry syrup, mixed with some apricot jam and flavored with kirsch. Enjoy!

May FlowersMay 19th, 2010
April showers bring them … May flowers that is! It's around this time of year that I'm thankful for the simple things, like sunny days and brightly hued flowers. Reds, purples, yellows; who knows how many other wonderful colors will cover my flower beds.
Children are still in school for another few weeks, and they still need healthy lunches. In addition to sandwiches and carrot sticks, add a little flower and note in their lunch to let them know you're thinking about them. They'll love it!

Work Hard or Hardly Working?May 10th, 2010
Don't work too hard this spring and summer! Take some time out of your busy work schedule to relax and revitalize. Sometimes a long weekend away with your family is just what you need to keep yourself from getting rundown at work. I like to start my long weekend with an early lunch. I recommend this tasty sandwich to kick things off:
Monte Cristo Sandwich
- 3 slices Klosterman White Bread
- 2 Tbsp. Butter, softened and blended with 1/2 tsp. prepared mustard
- 3 slices Baked ham, thinly sliced
- 3 slices Turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp. Cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1 Egg white
Butter center slice of bread on both sides. On first slice put turkey, then layer buttered slice of bread. Atop that, put ham and top with third slice of bread. Slightly trim the crust with a sharp knife and cut in half diagonally. Secure with wooden picks and dip in batter. Coat thoroughly. Fry in skillet with shortening or peanut oil to 400°F until golden (about 2 1/2 minutes). Serve with currant jelly.
Batter: In small bowl add 2 Tbsp. cold milk, 1 tsp. cornstarch, 1 egg and 1/4 tsp. salt. Mix together. Fold in one egg white (stiffly beaten) and add to mixture.
We hope you enjoy this wonderful sandwich!
From our family to yours,

Mother's Day is Almost Here!May 5th, 2010
May 9th is Mother's Day, a day of celebration and remembrance of all that our mothers have done for us. This is one of my favorite holidays because the whole family comes together to celebrate mothers, motherhood and the bond between mother and child.
I happily remember my childhood, standing alongside my mother with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in hand. If I was lucky, sometime she'd even cut my sandwiches into shapes, like hearts or smiley faces. Guess I was born to be a Klosterman! What are your favorite memories of your mother?
In the days leading up to Mother's Day, show your appreciation for your mother by doing little things or leaving little gifts for her. Can't be with mom this Mother's Day? Send a card with a little note to say you love them. Whether you are a new mother, an adopted mother or a grandmother, we love you and thank you for all that you have done for your children and grandchildren!
From our family to yours,
Kim Klosterman

Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to quantify growth responses of Jatropha curcas to a range of salt and drought stresses. Typical symptoms of salinity stress such as leaf edge yellowing were observed in all elevated salinity treatments and the degree of the foliar salt damage increased with the salinity of irrigation water. Total dry weight (DW) of Jatropha plants was reduced by 30%, 30%, and 50%, respectively, when irrigated with saline solutions at electrical conductivity of 3.0, 6.0, and 9.0 dS

The USF Bulls are 1-0 and are hoping to run their record to 2-0 as they take on Bethune Cookman in the second game of the season. Bethune Cookman is 1-0 on the year after beating Trinity Baptist to start their season (91 to 74 win). BCC is coming off of a 14-20 (7-9) season where they averaged just 67 PPG and were 2-15 away from home.
USF and Bethune Cookman have played each other 14 times in the past with the Bulls holding the all time record at 13-1. The last time the two sides faced each other was back in 2006 when the Bulls won 82 to 49.
For their starters, junior Travis Elliot (6'8" 230 lbs.) who transferred out of High Point College (sat out last season, averaged 2.9 PPG there) had 6 points and 6 rebounds in the season opener. He is their big presence inside and will be matched against John Egbunu and Chris Perry. Junior guard Maurice Taylor (6'2" 180 lbs.) is a key junior college player (averaged 8.5 PPG and 3.1 RPG at Kilgore JC) who had 15 points and 7 rebounds in his debut.
Junior guard Mikel Trapp (6'2" 195 lbs.) had 12 points and 2 rebounds in the first after playing in just 7 games last season, averaging 4.7 PPG in his limited playing time. Freshman guard Clemmye Owens (6'1" 185 lbs.) had 12 points and 3 rebounds in his debut. Junior guard Ricky Johnson (5'9" 160 lbs.) had 22 points, 3 rebounds, and led the team with 3 assists (averaged 6.8 PPG, 2.6 RPG, added 74 assists, 55 turnovers, and 22 steals last season). He will matched up against Corey Allen at the point guard position (if Collins is still not active in the game), proving to be a key battle to watch.
Two players to watch off the bench for BCC is senior guard Malik Jackson (6'" 188 lbs.) who had 8 point and 3 rebounds off the bench (averaged 4.5 PPG and 2.5 RPG last year). They list him at guard, but he will play at the forward spot and will probably draw Victor Rudd on defense. Sophomore Allan Dempester (6'7" 210 lbs.) had 10 points and 3 rebounds in their first game and will be another player to watch in the paint due to his size.
This is a game where USF should have the advantage inside with Chris Perry, John Egbunu, and Victor Rudd, meaning they should dominate on rebounds and attack inside. The Bulls will have to do a better job in making the open shots they can get and hitting their free throws but they have the size advantage and the shooters to get the job done. Look for a close game early, but for the Bulls to flex their muscles and pull away late in the game.

Since the movies have come out, I think more people are now familiar with Narnia and it's names. So I don't think you'd be able to do it without getting that association from everyone. If that doesn't bother you though, then I would say go for it! It's not like Peter and Caspian aren't legitimate names on their own. As pp stated, you could always separate them and go with Caspian ______ and Peter ______.

I think it's a bit overkill to have both. It's great to allude to a beloved author with a name, but if you're using a name from Narnia on every kid or a first/middle both from the series, it gets to be a little much. That said, Peter and Caspian are names separate from the series, so I don't think it's horrible.
February 28th, 2013 07:35 PM #7
Yeah, it's a lot to do both. I was even hesitant to go for Edmund because it's so specific to that series. That said, Narnia are some of the most classic and magical books out there. Lev Grossman credits Lewis with inventing the idea of alternative worlds that you could go in and out of (CRAZY that we didn't really have that before, although traveling to other worlds had been invented) and he did it all with such charm, grace, imagination, and detail, not to mention wonderful characters. It's not like naming your kid after Katniss or something. I love the Hunger Games as much as the next person, but what I mean to say is that naming your children after something so wonderful that had such a profound influence on art and culture is not childish.Names I enjoy:
Girls: Lucy, Elena, Lake, Sylvie
Boys: Jack, Eamon, Sylvan, Theo

The man had been at an outdoor party with friends at a home just south of Bragg Creek and was heading to another home nearby about 3 a.m. when he lost control and crashed, said police.
"It sounds like they were celebrating someone's birthday," said Sgt. Jim Ross.
"They were on their way home when it happened."
There were no witnesses to the crash and the man was found shortly after by a friend.
"Our victim services unit was brought in to assist them with the grieving process," said Ross.
"In any such case, it's always tragic.
"It would be difficult for anybody."
Mounties said the man was not wearing a helmet at the time, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Obviously not wearing a helmet is not a good thing if you hit anything, whether you're skiing or driving a quad or whatever," said Ross.
Police don't yet know whether alcohol played a role.
"We can't say that until the investigation is totally done," said Ross.
"There may have been some consumption but whether that was a contributing cause we don't know."
The man's name has not been released.

The LithTech engine gets its first public demonstration today, because Monolith has released a 40 megabyte demo of the game onto the Internet.
Shogo is inspired by Japanese anime art, and features a character who runs around in giant Mech armor as well as occasionally gets out of the armor and explores his environs on foot. Like Sin and Half-Life, it is a first person shooter. The demo contains two levels, one with Mechs and one without.
Originally titled, Riot: Mobile Armor, the game underwent a name change and revamp after Monolith re-acquired the rights to the game from Microsoft, who funded the development of the LithTech engine (then called the DirectEngine) and were the original publishers of the game. Now Monolith is self-publishing the title.

Spectrum student Hanna Nordquist of Otsego will join the Minnesota Gophers gymnastics team next year, her mother Linda announced.
Nordquist signed a full-ride scholarship on Wednesday with the Gophers, coached by Meg Stephenson.
A member of Twin Cities Twister for over 13 years, she is a four-time Junior Olympics national qualifier, and won the regional all-around title this year. She trains at least 19 hours each week, under TCT coaches Mike Hunger and Sami Wozny.
Nordquist, who verbally committed the the "U," during her junior year, had several college offers.
This marks the second straight year a Spectrum student has signed with a Division I gymnastics team, following Jessie DeZiel of Rogers, who joined the Nebraska Cornhuskers this fall.

Dueling endorsements continue to highlight the race for mayor Monday as City Councilman Kevin Falconer received the backing of the San Diego Police Officers Association and Councilman David Alvarez was endorsed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Police association head Brian Marvel cited Falconer's grasp of department challenges, including understaffing and facing massive retirements in the next four years.
"He has demonstrated a deep understanding of the dire need to rebuild the San Diego Police Department," Marvel said of Faulconer, the business community and Republican Party's choice for mayor. The association backed Democrat Nathan Fletcher in the Nov. 19 round of the city's mayoral election to replace Bob Filner.
Alvarez, the man favored by organized labor and the Democratic Party, countered with the endorsement by fellow Democrat Feinstein. Her nod came with a specific reference for his support for her bill introduced in the wake of the December 2012 school shootings in Newtown, Conn. The legislation would prevent sale, manufacture and importation of assault rifles with magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
Alvarez last year introduced a resolution calling for the City Council to support Feinstein's bill. It passed the Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee but did not win full council backing, according to his spokesman.
On Tuesday, Faulconer is announcing support from the Asian American Coalition, which had backed Fletcher, who has endorsed Alvarez.
Last week, Alvarez picked up the San Diego Lifeguards' endorsement, a group that also supported Fletcher.
The first of six Alvarez-Faulconer debates is at 1 p.m. Wednesday. Sponsored by KGTV-10News and KPBS, it will be streamlined live and air at 7 p.m. on Channel 10. KPBS airs it at 5 and 6:30 p.m. and on its noon radio show on Thursday.
A UT-San Diego/10News poll of 546 likely voters released Sunday showed Faulconer leading the race by 16 points -- 53 percent to 37 percent.
Alvarez spokesman Stephen Heverly on Monday said polls are "never the most accurate predictors of the outcome of an election."
"We're seeing an overwhelming reaction at people's doors when we're out campaigning," he said. "We're confident, we think we are looking good and we are going to keep on trucking."
Faulconer spokesman Matt Awbrey said that while the poll was good news "more important than any poll is what we're hearing from everyday San Diegans, which is that we need Kevin Faulconer's experience and committment to reform in the mayor's office."
