Student Eats by Stanford
I've noticed that there's nothing cheap by Stanford. It's not that Stanford students aren't poor, it's that Palo Alto isn't a college town, and Palo Alto isn't poor. So here's a plea:
Anybody know good, cheap places by (within a half hour's walk) Stanford? Because currently I'm limited to the dining hall and Dominoes.
Pluto's (University and Cowper) has big salads and good sanwiches/plates. Also, Miyaki on University is popular with students but the quality is, well - so so at best. If you are near the San Antonio Ave. area for some other reason (too far to walk), the TK noodle house has big bowls of pho for under $5.
California Ave is a 5 minute drive, 10 minute bike ride from campus. It has some cheaper options than downtown PA, including: Cho's -- very inexpensive (not great) dim sum, Mediterranean Wraps --cheap & generally well-reviewed wraps, JJ&F -- huge and fairly priced sandwiches, Szechwan Cafe -- full lunches with soup/salad for around $7-$8, and a couple of relatively inexpensive Mexican options including Salsa & the restaurant inside Antonio's nuthouse, .... plus Izzy's bagels, IMO the best on the Peninsula.
re: doc
I'lll second the "not great", as in spit-out-your-food terrible aspect of Cho's.

re: doc
kirk's steakburgers in the town & country mall is a student fave too.
In Menlo Park there is a very popular cafe that is great for study groups and meeting friends. Its called Cafe Boronne and they are open for breakfast and lunch with lots of outside seating.

"kirk's steakburgers in the town & country mall is a student fave too."
Just don't bring a backpack with you. I sort of disagree that kirk's is a student fave, the current management treats (high school) students rather rudely. I don't remember seeing college aged students eating there. And, I don't like their burgers.
re: Alan408
I think there's a big difference between the old Kirks that used to be located on Califronia Ave and the new one in Town & Country. I had 2 kids in PAHS & as Alan stated, the owners were worse than rude ... in one case they actually threw an offending backpack over a fence. I really don't know what anybody could steal from Kirk's, (condiments?) so I really don't get their "no backpack policy". All that aside, the burgers have gone decidedly downhill since they moved & the "fries" were never particularly good. So I vote no on Kirk's as well ... you're much better off in Town & Country at the sushi place or the Village Cheese House for sandwiches.
The Elbe - first block on University, used to have (believe it still does) $5 lunch specials. Pretty good deal. Second California Avenue spots - especially Mediterranean Wraps. Also Rojos in Town and Country shopping center (take Galvez on campus to El Camino) has some inexpensive wraps.
There's a place on the Stanford campus that offers a lobster burrito for about $5. It's called the Treehouse and I haven't tried it myself, but for $5 what've you got to lose?
Here's one review:
Try Fresh Taste Chinese on El Camino just off Stanford avenue. They have wonderfully fresh vegetables and their service is so friendly. They have student specials available with SUID:
Also, is the Psych Building's Thai Cafe open this summer? If so, GO!
re: foodiegrl
re: orezscu
DH & I still stop by when we're in town for old-time's sake. The steamed chicken & vegetables with garlic sauce is fresh, bright and even low-fat -- a far cry from the old sweet & sour chix of yore.
Also, according to the Daily, the Jordan Hall Thai Cafe is open in the Psych building during the Summer on weekdays. OP should definitely check that out.
re: foodiegrl
A few years back, the thai cafe was on the basement level of the math building, so if you go looking just go around lunch and check the below ground level courtyards on the interior side of the math, psych, and other nearby buildings for people eating pad thai and other stuff out of takeaway containers.
The cafe in the law school also does a so-so sandwich that satisfies in a pinch.
re: foodiegrl
Try Jade Palace instead at the end of California Avenue close to the Caltrain station. It just opened a few months ago, and it's a serious contender for the best Cantonese (or any Chinese for that matter) restaurant in the local area. Owner Jenny Tang said she would extend a 10% discount to any Stanford folks, and like every Chinese restaurant (except Peking Duck Restaurant), they have a myriad of affordable lunch specials.
re: vincentlo
Vincent, Jade Palace has been on my radar since seeing KK's post about its planned opening. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/34765...

re: vincentlo
I still haven't been to Jade Palace yet but had some rather disappointing takeout leftovers one time, including a rather chewy braised red wine oxtail that required some Conan Caveman teeth skills to wrestle the meat off the bone.
But if this is the same Chinese/Macanese chef from the previous restaurant Lucky Buddha at Jade Palace, it should be pretty good if they nail it down when they do. Mom has been at least twice to JP, and was not terribly impressed. Hopefully it was off-days on those visits.
Vincent, I'm curious if this place now does some authentic Shun Tak (a place in Canton province) dishes.
Please also elaborate on Wynn's Mountain View that you mentioned before, the restaurant that took over the aweful T&C China Bistro. A friend said some of the Joy Luck Cupertino people left and opened up the new place. I've yet to go, but maybe will try it this week for lunch and see what the fuss is all about.
re: K K
I think it's pretty clear Jade Palace and Wynn's are the two New Kids on the Block. They are very good, especially considering the lack of decent Cantonese restaurants in the area. For a long time Hong Kong Restaurant is the only kid on the block, and it's so-so but at least it's Cantonese.
I didn't see any Shun Tak dishes in Jade Palace's menu, but you will see little bits of southeast Asian influences in the dishes since Jenny grew up in Vietnam. For example, the signature prawn dish has a liberal amount of basil in it--not necessarily a bad thing just not very Cantonese.

re: Melanie Wong
I posted separately about a disappointing visit where I was served a dish with battered RAW shrimp - apparently just dipped into the oil long enough to crisp the thin coating and turn a millimeter of the shrimp opaque. The onions and peppers were also raw - had not even seen the inside of the wok just had sauce poured over them ;(
When It was mentioned I got a raised eyebrow and sorry without much concern. I don't get why this place is so popular among CH. My visit was on a Sunday afternoon and the place was empty except for a few people. Even if this wasn't the regular chef I have never been served such inappropriately cooked food at a decent place.
The good part was that the shrimp was fresh enough that being raw didn't make it totally inedible.
re: estnet
I wouldn't be happy with that either, and the server should have remedied it for you.
However, I've had two dinners there and every dish that the owner has recommended has been good. The place has been empty both times. My mother liked it so much, she wanted to have Thanksgiving dinner there until she realized the distance from Salinas was impractical.
You can try the 750 Pub which is ON campus. Fairly cheap, ok food and you can't really beat the location.
Pasta? on University Avenue used to be a popular pick for inexpensive casual-yet-nice dining, but they are raising their prices steadily.
If you want some decent, cheap sushi, try Sushi Tomo on University at the corner of Emerson. It'll get the job done.
I respectfully disagree with the recommendation of Cafe Borrone -- wildly overpriced.
For amazing, plentiful Jamaican fare check out Back-A-Yard on Willow just over 101. Not walkable but it's a whole mess of delicious food for under $10.
Google tells me that a couple of student faves from yesteryear are still there.
--- Peninsula Creamery in PA (legendary milkshakes)
--- Foster's Freeze in MP (ice cream and decent eats at drive-up cheap prices)
So sorry to hear that Kirk's has descended from its former burger greatness. It used to be the place where a guy would take his date when only the best would do. Hanging around while they were char-broiling your patties to order, listening to the sizzle and sniffing the marvelous browning beefiness, rounded out the complete Kirk's burger experience.
re: Sharuf
re: bbulkow
I called the San Mateo store the other day, assuming that it was the same ownership. They were pretty clueless about the opening date .... something like "maybe August, probably early September". Has anyone been to the San Mateo branch? There have been a couple of mentions on this site, but no substantive reviews that I could find.
I like the deli at Oakville Grocer's at the Stanford Shopping Center. Very decent sandwiches and soups and for sure way way better than Max's.
Bistro Maxine on Ramona St near University is very decent for crepes (buckwheat or regular) but it's nowhere near as good as Laurel St Cafe in San Carlos. $6 to $8 ish and includes a salad. They have other things on the menu too.

Recently in Da vinci class we did a project called the inquiry question. Many people chose things of health… many people chose supernatural subjects. Well i chose zombies… Yes living dead, flesh eating zombies! Some people made power points and some people made prezi presentations. Well since I write quite often I made in story form. So my inquiry question was… How do you survive a zombie Apocalypse? According to 'The complete Zombie Survival guide' it says improbable? yes… impossible? No. But according to a very realistic (in survival ways) game called Project Zomboid it is straight up… impossible. But really think about it. Zombies don't feel pain? they don't feel sympathy. They have all the same physical traits as humans but have no personality or being to themselves… Anyways, My answer to my inquiry question is , there is pretty much no possible way to survive a zombie apocolypes unless your one lucky sunofagun. Thank you for reading my post and i will soon be posting up the story itself!

That's not proof. That's someone trying to make money off of other people. wikipedia has an article on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_HovindOriginally Posted by Brand Nubian
Kent E. Hovind (born January 15, 1953), who sometimes refers to himself as "Dr. Dino", is an American evangelist and prominent Young Earth creationist who is serving a ten-year term in U.S. federal prison for 58 tax offenses, obstructing federal agents and related charges. He established the Creation Science Evangelism Ministry in 1989[1] and, prior to his incarceration, spoke frequently in private schools, churches, university debates and on radio and television broadcasts arguing for young earth creationism. Hovind is currently listed as being an "administrative security level" inmate at Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee in Tallahassee, Florida.[2]Also, there's a website set up to counter Creationalists claims:Hovind's casual usage of the Dr title, such as being listed in the phonebook as "Dr Hovind," has provoked academics to closely look at how Hovind presents his education and credentials.[11] Dr. Barbara Forrest, a critic of intelligent design, wrote that Hovind's lack of academic training makes it impossible to engage him on a professional level.[12] Specifically, critics of Hovind have charged that Patriot Bible University is a diploma mill, as it has unreasonably low graduation requirements, lack of sufficient faculty or educational standards, and a suspicious tuition scheme, among other issues.[5] The school's current policies allow students to attain bachelor's degrees, master's degrees and even "Doctor of Ministry" degrees in months, rather than years, for as little as $25 per month. Currently Patriot offers a monthly fee, unlike most universities, which only charge per-credit fees.[13]

Hi Bob:
You are right – Bessie loved being at Blue Bonnets …
I remember going there with her, she was off in all directions
getting her tips from this one and that one… At one time her
and her husband were co-owners of a horse – I will have to
ask her about that.. I have taken her over to the Hippo Club
over on Taschereau, but it is not quite as exciting.
She has often told us about working at Frank de Rice in
That he has sent his congratulations…
Hi Noreen,
At first when I saw your posting I didn't put 2 and 2 together... takes a little time nowadays. Dave Snyder and I used to drop in on Bessy some 50 plus years ago I was only 14 then and Dave would ask her if she had any good tips and she would always give him a heads up on a certain horse and then she would call in the bet for him... he always seemed to win. I think that was his only real vice... of course its all Bessy's fault.
I really enjoyed our short visits to her "office" ... I always got something to eat and always felt special... wish her the best for me and for Dave who always loved to talk to her.

Enid News and Eagle
A negligence lawsuit mired for months is set to move forward now that it is assigned to a new judge.
The families of Tyler Zander and Bryce Gannon, both of whom lost legs when they fell into the floor auger at Zaloudek Grain Co. in August 2011, claim five counts of negligence and seek punitive damages from the company.
Although the lawsuits were filed two months after the incident, little progress has been made because after the cases were assigned to Judge Robert Davis, of Kingfisher County, lawyers for the Zaloudeks filed three motions seeking a change of judge. Last month, Davis withdrew, writing that he was recusing himself "in the interest of justice and for the orderly proceeding of these cases."
Ray Dean Linder, chief presiding judge of the judicial district, has reassigned the case to Garfield County District Judge Dennis Hladik.
A hearing is set for Dec. 13.
Enid attorney Bradley Gungoll, who represents the families in the lawsuits, said several issues will be taken up on that day.
Motions asking Mike Parrish and Ethan Parrish be found in contempt of court are scheduled. Gungoll said Mike Parrish was the manager of the grain facility when the accident took place, and Ethan Parrish is "a young person who was a witness." Neither of them cooperated with subpoenas to meet the families' lawyers and answer questions.
Also to be heard is a motion filed earlier this month seeking a restraining order barring the Zaloudeks from shuttling away property worth more than $100,000. In the motion for a restraining order, Gungoll's associate, Michael Smith, wrote the plaintiffs are aware of several transfers of property by William Zaloudek and Robert Zaloudek, and that the pair will be held personally liable for judgment if the families win the lawsuit.
A handful of other motions include the Zaloudeks' motion to stay the negligence cases until their own lawsuit against workers' compensation carrier CompSource Oklahoma can be decided.
CompSource refused to cover the accident based on the fact it had canceled Zaloudek's insurance months earlier, because the grain company failed to timely provide information needed for audit. The grain company had worked through the audit and reapplied for coverage, but the new application reached CompSource the day after the accident.
Neither CompSource Oklahoma nor Zaloudek Grain has paid the medical expenses related to the accident. According to court documents, the Zander family has incurred expenses in excess of $1.6 million and the Gannons in excess of $900,000 so far.
"The Zanders will incur expenses in excess of $5 million for the fit and maintenance of prosthetic limbs during Tyler's lifetime," Smith wrote. "The Gannons will incur expenses in excess of $18 million for the fit and maintenance of prosthetic limbs during Bryce's lifetime."

The Pro's DO NOT PLAY HC.
This is why. Simple and plain, get over it. They're catering to MLG, and although the small forums community would like to disagree, you're either a part of that small elite group, or ignorant.

41. Re: Why do they hate Hardcore so much?samialjabber Feb 6, 2013 5:00 AM (in response to Gothardsback)
What Vahn said about the low HC numbers is BS. They're being as ignorant to HC as they are with every other issue people have with the game. If they only have 4 slots for HC (which again I think is BS), why don't they have 1 of the slots roling on a weekly/bi-weekly basis giving people the variety they desire. Or as other people have said - introduce a HC moshpit!
I'm sick to death of peoples ignorance on here. If people want more HC modes, why do core gamers feel the desire to troll? Just don't get involved. Go get involved in a core issue. We want more HC modes, we can see no valid reason why there are no more HC modes and we're sick of the BS people give as to why we can't have more HC modes. But then again people are also sick of the lag, overpowered SMG's, campers, head glitches, poor maps, spawn trappers, lag compensation etc etc and these issues are not resolved so why do we even bother?

You know what? I'm sick of hc cry babies!
Be glad you got anything because hc mode is an after thought that realistically NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE LIKE!
Face it. Accept it.. Move on.
Be glad you have what you have honestly, right now I have more respect for the competitive quick scoping community because they aren't crying day in and day out.
They know that if they love a secondary game mode so much they can go play it in customs to their harts content.
Hc mode ftl.

The problem for you HC boys is Vahn, he seems to think the future of COD (or should that be the future of his big salary?) will come from Core and League. There's a lot of moans and lot of unhappy HC people but as long as he's around your chances of a change are very slim.
I would say though that knocking Core will get you nowhere, there games are just different with not one being better than the other. If your going to get Vahn to budge even slightly on this you need support of everyone who plays cod especially the big numbers who play core, start arguments with the core boys or slate the other side and you'll lose any support you had.
A lot of people who play core are a little scared of even trying HC, they think it's going to be too hard, that they'll be up against the top players, etc so you need to sell it to them, push the advantages, encourage more to at least try it and you might see the numbers grow.
All I see and hear is hc players knocking core, I virtually never see it happening the other way.
46. Re: Why do they hate Hardcore so much?randomhero204 Feb 6, 2013 6:03 AM (in response to Ss78_)
Nah.. I try I post in most threads.
But hc guys need to come back down to reality.
Give your heads a shake guys. For real.
Hc is not call of duty. Far from it.
It's just a simpler more campy game mode and that's it

What an intelligent perspective. I can't believe there aren't more quality non-trollers like you on these forums. These forums are obviously for saying about how great the world is and how everything is so perfect.

...but hardcore is known as the simpler game mode?
Pros don't play hardcore, there areno hardcore tournaments, people don't make money playing hardcore. It's for people who have a harder time aiming and don't like moving around. This has been known since tey order added hc.
So no, most people aren't afraid to play it.
Truth about it is. If you play hardcore you have to camp and that's not fun. (For most people) hardcore is the campers dream. Hide around corners, wait for someone to crouch walk by and shot 2 bullets for the kill.
I'm 30. And I've always known hc to be for the guys who are even older then me. Because they want to lay prone for 5 minutes and wait for a guys to walk by lol. For real.
Also who on earth would ever want to play demo hc??? Talk camp fest around the bomb site lmao wow fun...

Bertha Louise (Wolfkill) Merrill
Custom obituary
Custom obituary
Bertha Louise
(Wolfkill) Merrill
Bertha Louise Merrill was born near Westmoreland, Kan., on May 4, 1918, and was the daughter of Mearl 0. and Florence (Huckstadt) Wolfkill. In November 1920, they moved to a farm eight miles northwest of Garden City. She attended Roxanna School until the sixth grade, when she enrolled in the Holcomb Consolidated School. She graduated from Holcomb High School in 1935. In her senior year she wrote a riveting account of her experience during the dust bowl days, "When Dust Gets in Your Eyes," which was published in Scholastic Magazine.
She first worked part time for the Clerk of the Court and Probate Judge, then for Finney County Agricultural agent H.W. Clutter, under President Roosevelt's Agricultural Program until 1941. At the time she was the highest paid office foreman in the state of Kansas because Finney County was the largest county in the state, but getting the approval was difficult since she was a woman.
In 1939 she was married to Peter Merrill and two years later they moved to San Diego, Calif., where Pete worked at Consolidated Aircraft. Their daughter, Diane, was born in 1943 and in 1946 they returned to Garden City. Later, they bought a machinery business, Merrill, Inc., which he operated for 20 years.
During this time, Louise worked as a bookkeeper for Shallow Water Refining Company, and then for Maynard Knief, doing accounting and income taxes. In 1981 she started her own business, Louise Merrill Accounting and Tax Service, which she closed in 1986 after Pete suffered a heart attack and stroke.
Following Pete's death in 1991, she remained in their home at 1010 Evans until January 2013, when she moved to a retirement community in Colorado Springs, Colo., to be closer to her daughter and her family.
Louise died peacefully in Colorado Springs on July 15, 2013. She was preceded in death by her husband, an infant sister and her parents.
She is survived by one daughter, Diane Merrill; a son-in-law, Alan Isaacson; and a grandson, David Isaacson.
Memorials are suggested to the Community Congregational Church Music Fund.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by Garnand Funeral Home in Garden City. Graveside services will be held Monday, July 22, at 10 a.m. at Valley View Cemetery. A reception will follow at the Community Congregational Church, 710 N. Third.
When Dust Gets In Your Eyes
I am looking out of the window across the prairie land of the southwest. It is barren and drought-stricken. Many months have passed since we've had a soaking rainfall. Rolling brown clouds of dust in the northern horizon catch my eye and my thoughts are drawn to the severity of the oncoming storm. How warm and still it has become. Not a leaf moves. I watch, fascinated.
As the wind approaches, it tears up the soft plowed soil, whipping it with lashing fury across the plains; churning it into a fine powdered dust. On it comes, soon forming a huge wall above which I see sunny skies.
There goes Mr. Smith, rushing his car to the nearest garage. He's remembering that battery of his which was burned out by the last dust storm. Mrs. Clark runs out to gather her washing off the line. Here and there window shades are quickly drawn and children scurry to the nearest shelter. It becomes darker.
Dirt is now sifting in through every conceivable crevice and it is hard to breathe. Outside it has blanketed every building, tree, and piece of machinery with a thick gray cloak. Cattle, horses and sheep shrink from the suffocating menace and huddle together in fence corners for protection. Their hides fill with the smudge, their nostrils clog with dirt, and the scattered blades of grass — their only food, are peppered with a distasteful layer of grime. How thankful I am for shelter. Tomorrow's paper will tell of some unfortunate man or child who was caught in the clutches of this black giant.
I feel my way across the room and turn on the light but it is dim and I am surrounded by a solid fog of dust. Every deep breath brings a cough. It chokes me, it stifles me and I feel it grit between my teeth. It clogs my windpipe and lungs but I must go on breathing.
My eyes are heavily filled. Knowing not what else to do, I turn to the dirt-covered bed with a handkerchief tied around my nose and mouth to strain the dirt from the air. I wonder if I shall ever, ever sleep---.

Nonprofits Weigh Benefits of Buyer Joint Ventures
The growing number of joint ventures and mergers between non-profit and for-profit hospitals may signal a warming trend in longstanding frigid relations as the rival sectors come to recognize the merits of working together in an evolving healthcare environment.
At least, that's the opinion of James E. Burgdorfer, a principal at Juniper Advisory LLC,the privately held, Chicago-based investment banking firm that provides merger and acquisition advice for nonprofit hospitals.
"A significant and growing minority of hospital leaders are taking the view that it might be inevitable that nonprofit status for hospitals could at some point in the future go away," Burgdorfer says.
"There are two reasons for that. One is that there are more attacks being made by counties and cities and states against tax exemption around the country. As more cities and counties are in desperate need of money they are going to go after nonprofits more and more."
"And number 2, there is a general feeling that with the passage of the [Patient Protection and] Affordable Care Act and the Supreme Court's ruling upholding it that down the road sometime there isn't going to be much charity care because everybody is going to have insurance. The thought is starting to register that maybe the charitable care exemption is going to go away."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Review: Annabel by Kathleen Winter
Title: Annabel
Author: Winter, Kathleen
Length: 465 pages
Genre: Fiction, Gender Studies, General
Publisher / Year: House of Anansi Press / 2010
Source: I picked it up at Word on the Street Halifax, where I heard Ms. Winter read from the book and got my copy signed.
Rating: 5/5
Why I Read It: I thought it sounded incredible from the moment I heard of it!
Date Read: 30/09/10
Does anyone remember way back long ago when I reviewed Between XX and XY: Intersexuality and the Myth of Two Genders by Gerald Callahan? Well, at that point I was so surprised and shocked to find out about intersex and how many kids are born with it each year… and how they are treated by the medical establishment. Often kids and even the parents weren't told, doctors just did what they had to and you might never find out. At that time I knew I wanted to read more about it to learn more at some point.
When I heard about Annabel, a novel by Canadian author Kathleen Winter, about an intersex child born in Labrador, I was instantly intrigued. First of all, a story set in Labrador, which would be a new location for me to read about, but most importantly, a novel about an intersex child growing up. It sounded fascinating. (Oh, and isn't the cover absolutely gorgeous?) From the jacket flap:
In 1968, into the beautiful, spare environment of remote coastal Labrador, a mysterious child is born: a baby who appears to be neither fully boy nor girl, but both at once. Only three people are privy to the secret – the baby's parents, Jacinta and Treadway, and a trusted neightbour, Thomasina. Together the adults make a difficult decision: to raise the child as a boy named Wayne. But as Wayne grows to adulthood within the hyper-masculine hunting culture of his father, his shadow-self – a girl he thinks of as "Annabel" – is never entirely extinguished, and indeed is secretly nurtured by the women in his life.
Annabel was everything I hoped it would be and more. Let me apologize now for the fact that there is no way I will be able to write a proper review. I can't help gushing extensively. But I will do my best :)
The writing is exquisite. It really is beautiful. I usually read through a book quite quickly… but with this one I kept re-reading passages, and wanting to set it down to consider lines, and make it last as long as possible. This does NOT happen very often with me. I would say this is the only book all year that has made me do this. Definitely the only fiction book that has made me want to stop and take breaks to think about it like that.
Labrador, and the small town of Croyden Harbour, is so perfectly described that it feels like you are there. The moss, the caribou, the sparseness of it all. It made me want to visit, which is saying something, because I've been north once before and let me tell you – it is cold. But it just sounded so beautiful, and you could understand why they lived there, why the men spent months at a time out on their trap lines. The respect and love for the land around them was well written.
Wayne was a lovely and believable character. He had no idea, for a large part of the novel, that he is anything but a normal boy. But his parents do, and they end up treating him differently. The novel really explores the dynamics between people, as well as gender construction. One quote that I really loved from Wayne when he found out was the following from page 251:
Wayne closed his eyes in bed and saw the hidden part of himself in the schoolyard, in a dress with a green sash and shoes of red leather with a little heel like Gwen Matchem's. There were a lot of things that changed if you were a girl: not just your heels or the way you put your hair, but things you talked about and the way you looked at the world.
I thought the examination of gender construction and how boys and girls are really created to be the way they are, and how they are expected to always be a certain way, was fascinating. Wayne, being a bit of both, and knowing this, finds himself noticing this sometimes more than an ordinary character could. His insights could be truly brilliant. His father expects so much more from him, if only because there is the question there. He has to prove himself more than an ordinary boy would, and he often feels that he falls short.
Treadway and Jacinta also were incredibly well created. They felt real both in their interactions in the world, and within the family. You could see who they were within the family and without and how things changed when Wayne was born.
The whole story was heartbreaking and beautiful. That's really the best I can do review wise :) I hope you believe me and give the novel a try, if you get a chance!
October 11, 2010 9:16 am
I LOVE the cover of this book, and it sounds like one that I need to read.
October 11, 2010 11:01 am
Such an interesting but painful topic! Stories like this have wonderful insight into gender construction, but at the same time it's so hard to think about the struggles an intersex child has to go through.
October 11, 2010 11:05 am
This does sound like an incredibly interesting book, and I know little to nothing about intersexuality, only what I have read here. I am definitely going to have to see if I can find this book. Your mention of the beautiful writing is another enticement. I love books that I can savor.
On another note: have you ever heard of T.J. Dawe? He is a performance artist who travels between the U.S. and Canada and does these amazingly cerebral shows where he talks about the connections between literature and his life. I mention him here because he did a great show about traveling to Labrador and what life is like there. The way he brought the remoteness and sparseness to life was incredible. I think you can find recordings of some of his work on the internet, if you are interested. He is an incredibly brilliant dude.
Sorry to get so off topic!
October 11, 2010 11:22 am
Definitely sounds like a topic for a novel that would hold my interest. I headed over to Amazon and found that the paperback won't be available in the US until January. Unfortunately they changed that gorgeous cover that's on your copy to one I wouldn't have even picked up and looked at except for the fact that I had read your review.
October 11, 2010 1:43 pm
I once read a review of a book by a blogger that also dealt with this topic. In that book, whereas the male members of the family treated him as a boy, the female members secretly treated him as a girl. It's a lovely book you have there and would look out for it. I am busy but I couldn't stop sharing in your enjoyment.
You have sold me too. Thanks
October 11, 2010 8:51 pm
Wow, this sounds really good. I loved Middlesex and would like to read another book like that. It's a fascinating topic and I think it's something we all need to be more aware of. Great review.

Thank you, Amy, for this review – and thanks to your readers for their comments. I really appreciate the time and care you took reading and writing about Annabel.

PS. LOL, it sounds like all I read of your review is that you loved the cover. No, no, I read all of it! :)
October 12, 2010 7:45 am
I saw you mention this recently and it went straight on my TBR list. Is it weird to say it looked like the kind of book that would ahve beautiful writing – cover judgement, you've got to love it. Good to see you mention a non-fiction book on inter sexuality too, will add that although it takes me ages to get to non-fic.
October 12, 2010 10:08 pm
Incredibly intriguing. Must have been such a difficult facade to maintain (for all four of them).
October 13, 2010 1:45 pm
Oh wow – Jodie was telling me that I needed to read this review of yours and she was absolutely right. Adding this to my wishlist immediately! It sounds like something I'd adore.
October 13, 2010 3:05 pm
I'm really looking forward to this one being published in the U.S. next year! After reading about it first when it made the Giller Prize shortlist, I'm thrilled to see it sounds even better now!
December 1, 2010 1:59 pm
I haven't read this yet, though it does sound fascinating. Thanks for the review.
Ifi permalinkJanuary 31, 2011 3:15 pm
Yes, talk about wanting to judge a book by it's cover!! I picked up this book while on vacation in NY over Xmas ( because I simply couldn't wait till March for it to get to Amazon uk ) and so got the scary cover!! I loved the first part of the book! I had no idea where Labrador was so I googled it. I loved learning the ways of the people; traplines, caribou moss, (I googled that too). Jacinta was so believable. Treadway, goodness, I felt I knew him personally. But when we get to the part where Wayne moves to St. John the book got a little weak. It was rushed, too much happen too quickly and It
Ifi permalinkJanuary 31, 2011 3:32 pm
Sorry, I hit the send button. Too much happened too quickly in the second part and so I got the feeling that I just wanted to know how/ where Wayne would end up. I at this point lost the connection with him had little sympathy left after all that wonderful character build-up in the previous chapters. It was as if the author had abandoned the character of Wayne and needed to finish the story…..AND make everyone live happily ever after. 3.5 out of 5 for me.

It's no secret: 2012 was hot and dry. We broke records in just about every season.
"Not many times you can golf in the middle of February, I have never golfed in February before," said Bill Bacon who was out golfing in February.
And in March, which is usually South Dakota's snowiest month of the year, there was zero snowfall.
The warm temperatures and lack of moisture throughout the winter set the stage for what would be one of the busiest fire seasons to date.
"Until the snow hits the ground we're going to be on our toes ready for a fire," said Jay Esperance of Wildland Fire back in March.
And he was right, the fire season started early and included fires in the hills, prairies and even right here in Rapid City on M Hill.
Some of the year's largest fires: The White Draw Fire near Edgemont, The Myrtle Fire in Pringle, and The Dakota Point Fire near Sheridan Lake.
"The fire behavior really got intense," said Jim Strain with Wildland Fire back in June.
"We've dealt with high temps, high winds, decreased precipitation," said Adele Harty with SDSU Extention in Rapid City back in June.
"I need rain, as much as I can get," said Matt Spring Incident Commander of the Myrtle Fire back in July.
And fire wasn't the only weather related catastrophe this year.
People on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation endured two monstrous storms, both causing extensive damage within weeks of each other.
"It was wild it was pretty scary.We was in the house cooking supper, and we seen the storm coming, and it was too late to leave the house, and it hit, and knocked windows out," said Leroy Pourier back in August.
"We seen it coming from Nebraska ad thought it was just a rain cloud coming. It was like someone just poof, blew us away," said Maka Moves Camp back in July.
Two tornadoes were confirmed this year, this damage was caused by a strong EF2.
Local infrastructure as well as barns and out buildings north of Ardmore in southern Fall River County were destroyed.
And while major storms and fires didn't directly affect everyone in KOTA Territory, the sizzling temperatures certainly did.
"It's hot!" shouted Logan Brandt of Rapid City during the July heat.
"The weather is very hot and very dry. God help us, it needs to cool down a little," said Doug Saxton visiting from Michigan in July.
Gillette and Newcastle had their hottest summer on record, and for many other KOTA Territory communities, this summer will rank in the top three hottest years.
And the heat didn't stop, even though school began.
"We get water bottles and we go outside," said a student at Wilson Elementary.
"Giving us popsicles and putting on fans," said another student at the school.
And then, there was the wind, who could forget the damaging two day wind storm with gusts over 80mph in Rapid City.
Now, rounding out the year, the drought continues, and 2013 looks like it very well could bring more of the same.

About This Book Why Is This Topic Important? Sales professionals provide the cash flow that keeps a company healthy and growing. Yet too many of them are either untrained or are using sales approaches that were developed thirty to forty years ago. Add to this the concern that buyers are more savvy than ever, and leaders of sales teams must always look at the latest information on what really works today in selling. Sales executives, managers, and training team members can together create potent sales training that offers a clear competitive advantage in their market. What Can You Achieve with This Book? This book is actually a working resource of best practices in sales training. It is a tool kit for helping trainers, consultants, and sales managers improve the performance of each member of the selling team. The ultimate purpose of this book is to help senior sales executives and their internal or external training partners to redesign existing training. The book includes stories and humor to set up each learning module. There are learning activities to help salespeople practice, then adapt new behaviors that lead to increased revenue for both the individual and the company. The stories can be used to reinforce learning after the fact by putting them in email reminders or publishing them as articles in corporate newsletters. Sales trainers will find the exercises to be an excellent addition to their knowledge and experience as they build better training programs for their organizations. How Is This Book Organized? The opening section, Preparing the Sales Pro to Sell, gives a definition of world class sales profes- sionals and reinforces the critical need to adopt and implement a selling system. Part Two, Training the Sales Pro to Sell, offers all the pieces of the sales puzzle, the key elements of a great selling system. Part Three, Training the Sales Pro to Improve Performance, covers individual practices and behaviors for a salesperson that increase the power of the system. Finally, a struc- ture is given to re-create your existing training experience. This includes key concerns as well as some insights on the option of buying, as opposed to designing your sales training.

Review: Advise and Consent (Advise and Consent #1)User Review - Bob Almond - Goodreads
Outstanding political novel that was the start of series of novels picking up where the last left off and in one case splitting depending on the identity of the victim. All in all a great read with good character development but twists and turns that kept you turning the pages. Read full review

It has never broke 102.
We are getting smacked by something not from the sun.
Da fuq
Lets start with the Earths rotation around the sun, giving you dates and locations as to where the Earth is located not only to the sun but also the center of our galaxy....
I will start with December 21 2012 because of all the hype and mystery surounding this date....
This is Earths (winter solstice) nothern hemisphere (summer solstice) southern hemisphere, in 2012 Earth and our Sun were also inline with the center of our Galaxy.....
I have heard a rumor that the Mayans were very intersted in this date, but apparently nothing happened, as most people were predicting doom on this date and focussing more on an END than a BEGINNIG...
I will focus on a beginning because it is obvious that there was no end, other than the calender....
The beginning of what....
OK lets move forward a little in our Earths rotation...
Our next date is January 3 2013, this date is called the Periapis, and is noted to be the day where our earth is at it's closest point to our Sun in the 365 day rotation (147 million kilometers), at this date our Sun is no longer blocking us from the energy comming from the center of our Galaxy, we start to "GET A LITTLE" if you know what I mean...
Please remember as you read this, that a whole lot of people have been wondering why earth facing sun spots have been silent only to become very active once they turn the corner and face away from us....
Moving on to our next date in our Earths rotation....
March 21 Equinox, now we are fully exposed to the center of our Galaxy with the Sun at our side, and giving us no protection from the center of the galaxy, we can expect more solar flares combined with more energy from the center of our Galaxy. This will increase immensely until we arrive at our next date in our Earths rotation....
June 21 (summer solstice) nothern hemisphere, (winter solstice)southern hemisphere....
I believe this will be huge, this to me is the "GRAND ALIGNMENT"....
The alignment will be,the center of our Galaxy then Earth then our Sun, our Earth being smack dab in the middle of the center of our Galaxy and our Sun....
Can you imagine the "ENERGY" we will recieve on our Earth getting pumped from both sides....
There will be mass energy comming from the center of the Galaxy on one side of Earth, and major solar flares blowing at us from our Sun on the other side....OUCH!
It's kind of hard for me to move on to the next stage of our Earths rotation because I dont really know if there is going to be much left of us after june 21 2013, this is why I believe the Mayan date of december 21 was a BEGINNING to an END....
Any how lets move to the next stage of our Earths rotation...
July 3 2013 known as "Apoapsis", this is where our Earth is is at it's furthest distance from our Sun (152 million kilometers) we are still being affected by the center of our Galaxy and strong flares from our sun, The good new is from this date we begin to go back to our hiding spot behind our Sun from the center of our Galaxy, hopefully all we lose is sattelites and power, but I dont think the Mayans were referring to that stuff.....
I was going to note natural catastrphes and major solar activity that have happened from January 3 "Periapis" to July 3 "Apoaopsis", but I think you all can do the math your self....
The next 6 months will prove this undoubtedley.....
link to Earths rotation around our Sun....

Thread: Must Read...Our Sun has been protecting us from our Center ....Not any more though!

It won't be hard to find a dessert to cool you down in Mill Valley this summer. With the arrival of Yolo Yogurt Lounge at the new Tamalpais Commons on Miller Avenue, a frozen-delight fight is in full swing.
The self-serve Yolo Yogurt is slated to open Monday pending permit approval. It will join three other "fro-yo," ice cream and gelato dispensaries in Mill Valley's 4.7 square miles. Mill Valley Swirl opened in June just a few blocks down on Miller, across from the original Whole Foods. There's also three-year-old Noci on 17 East Blithedale Ave., and Baskin Robbins at 29 Miller Ave.
Despite the close quarters, Yolo owner Karen Kauh remains optimistic that Mill Valley can handle another frozen yogurt establishment.
"I decided it was a good time to take a leap and thought it was a good 'mom' business," said the married Mill Valley resident and mother of two kids, ages 3 and 6.
Kauh is banking on location to be the key to her store's pay-by-the-ounce success. Situated at Tam Commons at 505 Miller Ave., it shares space with Dish restaurant and ToyHouse toy store. Already, the three businesses are discussing ways to combine forces to attract more customers.
"It's the perfect relationship," Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce President Kathy Severson said. "All three of them can partner well in this situation."
Yolo is also within easy walking distance from the hungry teenage hordes at Tamalpais High School, many of whom, Kauh said, are looking for better food options and lunchtime destinations.
"We wanted to create a fun, cool, hip environment," she said, adding that there will be indoor standing counters and outside patio seating.
Along with a lounge atmosphere, Kauh is putting her focus on the yogurt toppings, many of which are homemade, such as granola, brownies, fruit crumble and graham cracker crust.
"My hope is that someone who's not a big frozen yogurt fan will come in and buy toppings," said Kauh, adding that she will also offer healthy and some organic grab-n-go snacks such as drinks, nutrition bars and chips. She is also busy pursuing her green business certification from Marin County.
Jeff Shine, owner of fellow fro-yo shop Swirl, is good-natured in his appraisal of the new kid on the block. While Swirl sells its frozen yogurt at 43 cents per ounce, Yolo charges 45 cents per ounce.
"Obviously, we're a little too close for comfort, but there will be no yogurt wars," he said with a laugh. "I wish her all the luck in the world."
At the same time, Shine is hoping his tables and chairs inside, extra yogurt machine, and early jump on the summer crowds will keep him ahead of the curve.
With mere days separating Kauh from her dream, she's not the only one who's excited for the store to open.
"(My kids) think they own it and it's all theirs. It's fun to see how excited all of their friends are," she said. "We just want it to be something for everyone."

Work to start on Guiseley's new stand (From Wharfedale Observer)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news and views by texting WONEWS to 80360, or email
Work to start on Guiseley's new stand
9:55am Thursday 16th February 2012 in Sport
Work will start on Guiseley's new 200-seater stand on Monday .
Borehole drilling for the foundations will signal the first phase of the £112,000 project.
The fabricated stand will be delivered to site in stages once the foundations are in place.
The green light for the work to commence came when the club confirmed that the funding was in place.
The latest project will take the club's spending on ground improvements to £500,000 over the last five years.
The schemes have included the building of the main stand and installing new floodlights.
Guiseley also have further work planned for the summer when they will be widening the pitch surround. This will involve the replacement of the two remaining sides of the pitch surround barrier.
The club also intends building another two turnstiles and additional terracing to achieve a 4,000 ground capacity along with some minor alterations to the dressing rooms.
All of these improvements are to enable Guiseley to meet the requirements of the Conference National grading scheme.
Finace director Phil Rogerson said: "It's all systems go for the new stand and it will be completed before the March 31 deadline that we are required to meet if we want to be eligible for promotion to the Blue Square Bet Premier."

DOS PALOS After losing to Shafter twice during the 1980 season, including a tough loss in the playoffs, then Dos Palos head football coach Tom Scheidt decided it was time to try something new.
Scheidt implemented a "pride-point" system.
To make the football team in 1981, players had to earn three pride-points. The points were earned by playing other sports at school or by spending time in the weight room.
"Before we instituted the pride-point system weight training wasn't mandatory," Scheidt said. "Our best offensive lineman only benched about 120 pounds. It became a safety issue. We had some kids banged up after that Shafter game."
The pride-point system paid off as the Broncos went on to win three Valley Championships in the next four years.
Over the years the pride-point system has been tweaked by head coaches Mike Sparks, Frank Lemos and now first-year coach Shawn Garrick. Still, it remains a Broncos tradition.
"I wanted to keep the tradition going," said Garrick, who converted the points to hours to make keeping track of them simpler. "I think it promotes participation in other school sports and keeping the kids active. Kids now can earn points for playing other sports, community service, GPA, participating in seven on seven and summer workouts. When they accumulate so many points they can play football.
"We don't want kids who sit at home playing video games all summer thinking they can just come out and play football."
The pride-point system lays out what the players have to do to play football.
"You have to be committed to the team," said senior quarterback Noah Croninger. "We can't have guys who don't put time in the weight room or don't go out to practice. Spending that time in the weight room as a team and out at practice helps us bond together."
After moving from Oregon to take over the Broncos program, Garrick has learned a lot about one of the most important Broncos traditions: Winning.
Dos Palos has won 47 league titles and 15 section titles. The more time Garrick spends in Dos Palos the more he learns just how important football is to the town.
"Football is everything here," Garrick said. "I think people get excited for it. When I'm out in the community people ask me what kind of offense we're going to run. They want to know what our defense looks like. I don't know how many other coachs are meeting with Lions clubs or have their own radio show in town."
Garrick thinks he'll have plenty to talk about on the show.
The Broncos like the group of players they have including Croninger, running back Isaac Suarez and what they have on the line in Juan Jimenez and Matt Elms.
Garrick wants to keep any changes he's making to the offense and defense close to the vest going into the season.
The players are hoping all the work and changes result in a successful season.
"When I think of Dos Palos tradition I think of a winning tradition," Croninger said. "So many teams have come through here with a winning record. There's so many league titles and Valley Championships. The last couple years we've gotten away from that. We hope to bring that back this year."

Our appeal was denied likely due to ongoing FBI probe into #Wikileaks. The probe is wrong and must be dropped; it is an affront to justice.— Jacob Appelbaum (@ioerror) January 26, 2013
In Virginia today, a federal appeals court has ruled that the government can maintain secrecy around its efforts to obtain the private information of internet users, without a warrant. The appeal originated from a legal battle over the Twitter user records of three activists the government is investigating for connections to WikiLeaks: security researcher Jacob Appelbaum (@ioerror), Dutch hacker Rop Gonggrijp (@rop_g), and Icelandic parliament member Birgitta Jonsdottir (@birgittaj). The ruling effectively says the three do not have the right "to know from which companies, other than Twitter, the government sought to obtain their records," as Kim Zetter reports in Wired News:
The ruling, published Friday, upholds a magistrate's earlier decision that "there exists no right to public notice of all the types of documents filed in a sealed case" and likens the 2703(d) orders in question to grand jury proceedings, which are not subject to public access.
From the ACLU's press release:
The American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation represent Icelandic parliament member Birgitta Jonsdottir. The appeal was filed jointly with Twitter users Jacob Appelbaum and Rop Gonggrijp, and did not challenge the district court judge's November 2011 decision requiring Twitter to turn over their records.
Ars Technica's account is here.

Jacob Appelbaum has an interesting relationship with his government, on one hand they are trying to fuck him over for his work with wikileaks, exposing their crimes. But on the other They commend and offer to fund (which he refused) his work on TOR, because it helps freedom of speech and anonymity for citizens of those other bad countries who monitor their citizens personal communications.
Jacobs story of legal persecution from his own government makes the Aaron Swartz case look like nothing in comparison. Once again they are making examples of anyone with a sense of civic decency and moral fortitude.
Meanwhile untouchable wall-street bankers are watching people all over the world suffer as a result of their criminal actions are laughing into their champaign glasses, confidant they are above the law and well in the clear as this stage.
EH says:
I see it simply as a battle governments are waging against their citizens over information control. I fear that some day the entire domain of personal information will be subject to the historical traits of luxury and privilege.
Extreme_One says:
Ridiculous. If you have seen the movie Idiocracy about the future. I am starting to think thats the way people are in many countries. Eating, sleeping and fucking. Like animals with no brain activity.
The way US handled matter nowadays is no better then the al-qaida. Breaks rules. Imposes rules with no legal grounds on non US citizens and non US companies. Never before have they been so upfront with the imperialism power. Their media is just a joke. Corrupt, controlled and stupid. The hole thing is just laughable!
Cowicide says:
Wow, those "Freedom isn't free" bumper stickers are finally becoming relevant. The only people that can afford freedom anymore are the richest Wall Street corporatists that can pay off the government.
Infosec Enthusiast says:
Reading this makes me sick! They are destroying creativity, innovation, technology and intelligence by restricting, attacking the Rights of subjects and their freedom of speech and right to live peacefully. A hacker once told me "the computer underground is gone deeper and deeper". I wonder if Plato, Einstein, Archimedes and the rest would have succeed in our world today. Their ground breaking theories, research and innovation thinking set the foundation on which great things have been built. Try some of these today and you'd be targeted and harassed in some situations tortured until you "commit suicide". It's even going to get worse as the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer and all good things play in the hands of the former.

The COUNT function, in Google Spreadsheets is used to count up the cells in a selected range that contain numbers - the function ignores blank cells, text and other types of data..
The syntax for the COUNT function is:
= COUNT ( value_1 , value_2 , ... value_30 )
value - the numbers or values to be totaled. This can also be a range of cell references where the data is located.
If cell references are used, the COUNT function ignores empty cells or text data in cells in the selected range.
If number data is later added to an empty cell in the range, the count total is automatically updated.
Example Using the Google Spreadsheet COUNT Function:
- Enter the following data into cells A1 to A5: 114, 165, 178, 143, 130.
- In cell A6 type the word test
- Leave cell A7 blank.
- Click on cell A8 - the location for the function and where the results will be displayed.
- Click on Insert > Formula > COUNT in the menus.
- Google Spreadsheets inserts the first part of the function = COUNT ( into cell A8.
- Drag select cells A1 to A7 with the mouse pointer to enter that range into the function.
- Type the closing bracket " ) " after the cell range in cell A8.
- Press the ENTER key on the keyboard.
- The answer 5 appears in cell A8 because only five cells in the range A1 to A7 contain numbers. Cells A6 and A7 are ignored.
- Type the number 180, in cell A7 and press the ENTER key on the keyboard.
- The function total in cell A8 should change from 5 to 6 since now six cells in the range contain numbers.
- When you click on cell A7 the complete function = COUNT ( A1 : A7 ) appears in the formula bar above the worksheet. .
