Duke cardiologist Joseph Rogers, MD, and colleagues are defining the best strategies to help heart failure patients.
Nearly six million Americans are living with heart failure -- when the heart can't adequately do its job of pumping blood through the body.
Patients with heart failure tend to be very limited in their physical abilities, and as the disease progresses, breathlessness and fatigue can occur even at rest.
The good news is that we've seen dramatic improvements in the treatment of heart failure in the past decade.
At the advanced stage -- affecting about 150,000 Americans -- medications typically become ineffective and heart transplantation is not a treatment option for most.
We have recently learned that these patients can benefit a great deal through permanent implantation of a long-term left ventricular assist device (LVAD), which works to pump blood more efficiently through the body.* Duke has been a leading center in this research.
At Duke we have the critical components of a top-tier program: outstanding doctors, a team approach, close collaboration with our colleagues in heart surgery and heart rhythm disorders, a dedication to advancing our knowledge of heart failure through research, and a passion for understanding and treating the unique aspects of each patient's disease.
Also, Duke is one of the vanguard centers of the Heart Failure Research Network, a consortium of institutions providing insights into new treatments for heart failure.
I believe that the next step in the evolution of this field is placement of mechanical blood pumps into heart failure patients earlier in their illness to extend quality years of life.
Another potential for this technology is its use as a platform to test new heart failure therapies -- such as stem cell therapy -- that would promote recovery of the heart and eventual removal of the pump. Through our focus on clinical care and research, Duke will continue to find novel therapies to treat patients with this disease.
Only 68 places in the United States offer destination LVAD therapy for advanced heart failure. Duke is one of them.
*Dr. Rogers presented these findings on November 17 at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2009.

The tour was a reality "wake-up". Humanity in all walks of life, dead and alive. Our guide was low key, informative, and spoke excellent English. Thank you!
We had a wonderful experience on our Delhi tour. Our guide, Ashish, was able to share the history about India overall and each site specifically. He was lots of fun, spoke excellent English, and engaged in very informative discussions throughout the day. He knew a great place for us to have lunch - the best Indian food we've ever had. Our driver was also wonderful and navigated the complexities of Delhi traffic with great expertise. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience.
Wonderful tour! My guide was very sharp, easy to understand, and hilarious. We had a really fun day and he was super flexible in seeing everything I wanted and suggesting some extra stop. Perfect tour!

I am so glad I booked this Private Custom Tour: Delhi in One Day! Our knowledgeable, energetic, fun and articulate guide Avdesh ("Avi") was wonderful! He met us at the hotel lobby on time and together we toured many of Delhi's key attractions. I simply gave him a list of what we wanted to see (Qutab Minar, Safdarjung's Tomb, Lodi Gardens, Humayun's Tomb, Purana Qila, Jama Masjid, Red Fort, and Chandi Chowk) and he was genuinely happy to show us around. If we hadn't already prepared a list, he would have made suggestions in that first meeting to establish an itinerary; he was organized and professional. We set the pace and could be as quick or as slow as we chose for each location. He thoroughly explained each site and was patient as I gave my camera a work-out. Avi also did a great job of watching over us by ensuring we paid the correct entry fees where appropriate and that we weren't scammed or bothered anywhere along the way. One of the best parts was that at my request he even helped us navigate the North India Railway Station to find the international tourist office (2nd floor) so we could buy 1st class tickets to Agra the following day. I wouldn't have had those tickets without Avi's help, translation skills, and ability to guide us clear of people at the station who intentionally misdirect tourists. The driver was great also, waiting for us at each site, getting us safely and quickly through traffic, and stopping on a dime or pulling u-turns when I had to get a photo of something unexpected. I've used Viator in Paris, Moscow, and now New Delhi and have never been disappointed.
I would highly recommend this option for anyone wanting an easy solution to taking in the sights of Delhi. We were on a limited timeframe and this was just so easy. Our guide and driver were both fantastic. They let us dictate where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do. There was no pressure at all. Our guide really went above the call of duty to ensure that we were happy and saw everything we needed to see in the 8hr block we had him for. Definitely don't hesitate to book this tour.....it's worth every rupee. :)
We had an excellent guide and driver for this one-day tour of Delhi. We knew in advance how we wanted to spend the day, and the guide accommodated our wishes. He was knowledgeable about the history of the sites we visited and very interesting and pleasant to talk to. Also, having a vehicle at our disposal allowed us to do and see more than I anticipated.
Excellent tour. Guide was amazing and went to all the parts of the city I wanted to go and more. The information given to me was awesome. Do this trip!
Without this tour, I would not have had a positive experience in Delhi.
The previous day, I went on a day trip to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal... I WISH I had gone through Viatorfor for that tour! But I did not, and had a horrible experience with a terrible tour company that was "commissioned" with every business and service. I was a solo female traveler and felt very unsafe and bullied into buying things and services.
THIS tour company for the Delhi in a Day trip was very legitimate and professional. I felt safe and had an EXCELLENT, knowledgeable guide, Bhupesh. Thank you Viator, YOU were my ONLY good experience in Delhi - I wish I had booked my other India tours through you!
William F
Our guide Andrew a young man with semi-spiked hair and a Brasil tshirt was perfect - knwoledgeable without being intrusive. I learned much about India as well as Delhi from him. He and the driver were extremely flexible and fit not only the Akshardam Temple but other items into the flex schedule, since we had a previous one day Delhi tour. He also selected a great place to eat. We were well take care of in every way, and in Delhi that is no small task...
Tori B
This was a great tour. I got some good suggestions for places to see through the guide on the trip to the Taj Mahal the day prior. I had other ideas through the scheduled tour of Dehi, and the guide on this tour had suggestions of his own. This guide was very professional. He was highly knowledgeable and very accomadatiing. He gave us as much time as wanted in each place. He was willing to make sudden additions to the tour and was very pleasant to spend the day with. The mosque in Dehli and the Sikh Temple are important places to see. The highlight was a walking tour of colorful and active Spice Market. Our guide explained all of the various spices, how they are used in cooking and their medicinal purposes. It was another exciting Viator tour.
Excellent choice by us even if it is a bit more expensive that other tour opertors in Delhi. Got to see and visit all the things in comfort. Our guide added great value to the experience with his knowledge of all the locations visited. Would recommend
Young guide with not much enthusiasm. We felt like he was just there to fulfill an assignment, and was barely tolerating Americans in his country.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Delhi with my guide Avi. Travelling alone as a single female I felt comfortable and safe the whole time. I was able to travel to some places of my choice and also some that Avi had recommended. I'd definitely recommend the Ghandi museum. Thank you Avi!
It gave us the flexibility to go where we wanted and see new things!

The chefs at China Grill Bistro, an outpost of the Chong brothers' local restaurant empire, serve up traditional Chinese dishes alongside creative fusion creations. Kung pao chicken and spicy hunan beef share menu space with banana leaf-wrapped chicken tamales and paella on saffron rice, a combination that pays tribute to the brothers' Chinese heritage and childhood spent in Latin America. The cooks never add MSG to any of their dishes, because they believe it obscures the flavors of their top-notch ingredients. To complement these flavors, there's a wine list made of up nearly 100 California varieties.
Liliya China Bistro's comestibles curators craft authentic Mandarin and Korean-Chinese cuisines using fresh ingredients for dinner and lunch. Four vegetable egg rolls make for flavorful starters or hair curlers, paving the way for heartier eats, such as mongolian beef ($12+) or spicy shredded pork soused in hot garlic sauce ($12+). Otherwise, diners can select from the large stock of seafood spreads, noodle dishes, or vegetable-based entrees, which include a spicy mabo bean curd ($12+) and bok choy mushroom ($12+). During afternoons, guests can peruse the cast of savory midday eats, including bulgogi bedecked with marinated chicken ($9.50), beef ($10.50), or pork ($9.50). Or they can opt for a helping of shrimp, which comes to tables performing an aquatic dance within a sea of lobster sauce ($9.25). Each lunch entree arrives at tables equipped with a savory regime of salad, rice, and soup of the day.
From Chick 'N Chow's tables, which flaunt the rosy crimson hue of a bowl of sweet-and-sour sauce, soups launch warm steam alongside kosher and vegetarian dishes. Entire rotisserie chickens emerge from trips to a fryer with a golden cloak and satisfying crunch, and the menu also cheers dieters with low-calorie steamed dishes topped with broccoli that spells out encouraging affirmations. Beneath a fan painted with a traditional landscape, diners gather to-go containers, and delivery drivers tote bags laden with lo mein and memos from telecommuting fortune cookies.
Robot chicken: popular television show or crispy chicken dish in a sweet, tangy sauce? At Kung Pao Bistro, it's the latter. The Chinese eatery packs a huge selection of meat, vegetarian, fried rice, and noodle options on its menu. While the chefs specialize in traditional Hunan, Sichuanm and Cantonese dishes, guests will also notice other Asian and American flavor influences in their meals, which are prepared using house-made organic chicken broth and high-quality soy and wheat meat substitutes when desired.

The Biotechnology Program at Lone Star College-Montgomery works with the local bioscience industry to educate students in basic laboratory skills, math, genetic engineering, protein purification, cell culture, quality assurance and quality control, bioinformatics, computer skills, ethics, documentation, and teamwork. Students who complete our program are prepared to work in a variety of positions in companies such as pharmaceutical, molecular diagnostics, manufacturing, research, agriculture and cell culture.
The LSC-Montgomery Biotechnology Program provides a 2-year Associates of Applied Science (AAS) degree and an Advanced Technical Certificate (ATC) for students with a 4-year degree. The AAS degree provides students the skills necessary to be a biotechnician as well as the courses for transfer to a university such as University of Houston-Downtown, Stephen F. Austin State University or UT M. D. Anderson School of Health Science. The Advanced Technical Certificate educates post-baccalaureate students to work at the bench and is composed solely of biotechnology courses. At the end of both programs, students are required to do an internship in industry. Many of our students are hired during their internship while others choose to continue their education at a 4-year university.
About Biotechnology
The term biotechnology was coined in 1919 by Karl Erecky, a Hungarian engineer. When originally used, the term referred to the types of work that involved using living organisms to make products.
These discoveries opened the floodgates to today's biotech, where researchers and technicians are manufacturing new DNA, combining DNA from different life forms, and identifying which particular sequences of DNA are responsible for genetic traits, both good ones (like pest resistance in crops) and bad ones (like cystic fibrosis in humans). By working with these DNA sequences, researchers can eliminate undesirable traits, promote desirable ones, and move the traits from one life form into another. The major focus of biotechnology today is the manipulation of not only living organisms but their subcelluar parts. Welcome genomics and the golden era of genetics: What was once obscure research for scientists has become relevant to all of us.

Ender's Shadowby Orson Scott Card
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Card returns to the beginning of his Ender cycle with this parallel stand-alone novel as powerful as "Ender's Game". Ender wasn't the only child in Battle School — Bean was Ender's right hand, strategist, and friend who was with Ender in the final battle. A tiny child from Rotterdam, Bean's struggle caught the attention of the Battle School's recruiters.
Synopsis:A COMPANION VOLUME TO ENDER'S GAME, ONE THAT EXPANDS AND COMPLIMENTS THE FIRST, ENHANCING ITS POWER, ILLUMINATING ITS EVENTS AND ITS POWERFUL CONCLUSION.
Andrew "Ender" Wiggin was not the only child in the Battle School; he was just the best of the best. Here is the story of another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean — the one who became Ender's right hand, his strategist, and his friend. Bean's past was a battle just to survive on the streets of Rotterdam. He was a tiny child with a mind leagues beyond anyone else's. Bean's desperate struggle, and his remarkable success, brought him to the attention of the Battle School's recruiters, those people scouring the planet for leaders, tacticians, and generals to save Earth from the threat of alien invasion. Bean was sent into orbit, to the Battle School. And there he met Ender.... What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details

16 days from only £1909
Welcome to an intoxicating 16-day journey of a lifetime. Hanoi and Saigon still retain a French flavour in their pavement cafes, architecture and wide tree-lined boulevards. We also visit the limestone archipelago of Halong Bay, the ancient royal capital of Hue and the fascinating Mekong Delta.
In Cambodia our tour includes a stay in the capital, Phnom Penh, with its vibrant riverside ambience. A short flight away is Siem Reap, gateway to the complex of temples within the ancient city of Angkor. At its height in the 13th century, Angkor had a staggering million inhabitants and was the capital of the fabulously wealthy Khmer Empire. The incredible state of preservation and artistry of its sculptures have, for many, made Angkor one of the great wonders of the world.
The price of this holiday is per person, based on two people sharing a twin room; thirteen nights on bed-and-breakfast in four & five-star hotels, five lunches; all flights as mentioned; guided tours of Hanoi, Halong Bay cruise, Hue, Saigon, Cu Chi tunnels, Mekong Delta and Phnom Penh, plus one-day entrance and guided tour of Angkor; services of an experienced Riviera tour manager. Single rooms are subject to availability at the relevant supplement (date dependant) from £399 to £439 per person. Not included: Vietnam & Cambodia visas. Cambodia local departure tax, currently $25 per person payable locally. Health Matters Whilst the travelling schedule shall pose no problems for people of any age in normal physical health, we would point out that in visiting a number of historical sites, paths may be uneven and we often enjoy walking tours of the main sights. Therefore this holiday may not be suitable for clients of greatly impaired mobility. In the tropics temperatures and humidity levels will also be quite high for most of the year. Please consult your GP regarding the appropriate inoculations required for Vietnam & Cambodia at least a month before departure. To make the most of your trip, we recommend you check the Foreign Office website at http://www.fco.gov.uk/travel
Fly overnight to Hanoi.
After a short stop at our hotel, we will commence our tour of Hanoi by cycle rickshaw where there will be time for lunch, the rest of the day is at your leisure.
Today we explore Hanoi, past and present, during our guided tour we see the beautiful Temple of Literature and the imposing marble mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh himself, the afternoon is free for you to explore as you wish.

Today we start with a river cruise to the magnificent seven-storied Thien Mu pagoda, followed by the complex of the Citadel and the Imperial City within. We also visit the Palace of Supreme Harmony and In the afternoon emperor Tu Duc's mausoleum.
Today we fly to Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon as the locals still insist on calling it.
Today we visit the famous Cu Chi tunnels, during our visit we see the tunnels themselves and examples of the many mantraps and stake pits which protected them. In the afternoon our city tour covers all the major sights.
Today we drive towards the great Mekong River delta, the first stop is one of the many islands, then travelling in small boats we continue our exploration to the aptly-named Coconut Island. We return to Saigon in the afternoon.

We are modifying our hours at the distillery tasting room. In order to set aside more working time in the distillery (our main job, making whisky), and to give our employees more time with family, we have decided to close on Sundays.
If you haven't yet joined us for one of our intimate cocktail dinners, March is a great time to get out of the cold and grab your sweetie for a wonderful date-night experience! Join Scott and Becky for dinner for the evening: a sumptuous five course meal expertly paired with cocktails. Our chefs for the evening are Chef Wes Rosati and Chef Maria Aros, of Wandering Chef (both formerly chefs at Lansdowne Resort). The chefs will ensure this meal ranks in the top ten of your lifetime best meals, and Scott and Becky will personally pour you cocktails that will pair beautifully with each course. Dinner includes a private tour of the distillery and dining in our tasting room.
Price is $125 per person, all inclusive. Space is limited to thirty people, so to reserve your space, please visit our event page now!

"The Office" will end its nine-season run with a one-hour finale on May 16
"The Office" will close up for good on May 16 with a one-hour finale, the network said Thursday.
The finale, which airs at 9 p.m., will also mark the comedy's 200th episode.
Also read: Ending 'The Office': No Steve Carell, and Somebody's Getting Fired
The series is currently in its ninth and final season.
Series creator Greg Daniels said at the Television Critics Association gathering last month that Steve Carell, who played bumbling boss Michael Scott for most of the series' run, most likely won't be on hand to close out the show.
"Steve is very much of the opinion that the 'goodbye Michael' episode and the story arc that we did leading up to it was his goodbye to the fans and to the show, and that the stuff we're doing this season is the goodbye that the rest of the show gets to have,"Daniels said.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Excellent Customer Service and Quick Production
One Sweet Day Address Labels I loved being able to customize everything about the invitations. I was able to apply custom color codes to get my colors exactly correct. I also wanted to use a font that wasn't available as a standard on my invitation. I contacted a customer service rep and she was able to answer all of my questions. I was able to include all of my modifications in the special notes section and the designer did a great job of incorporating them, as well as helping with sizing and spacing once those modifications were added. Each order (save the dates, sample invitations, final invitation order) was quick and trouble-free. Also, the production time for my final invitation order was even faster than promised.
Beautiful cards!!!
One Sweet Day Wedding Favor Tags Very helpful customer service, they accommodate my needs.
Caught for a loop
Flower Enchantment Envelope Seals I thought the design choices were excellent and the personalization options too. However when I received the finished the product I thought it was only good. Mass producing does make it impossible for each invite to be perfect. And I was very disappointed when I received my envelope liners that didn't automatically come with an adhesive. I felt that the company withheld the fact that I had to purchase adhesive separately. It was like selling a postage stamp and having to buy the sticky backing separated. After complaining to the company I got even more bitter because they explained it away as a personal preference.
Amazing magnets!
Pristine Beauty Save the Date Magnets The designers were such a pleasure to work with and were able to answer any and all questions we had. The Just-One ordering process is fantastic, and I would highly recommend these magnets!
love these invites!
Pristine Beauty Rectangle Invitations great invites! i love how there are so many options for personalization with this design. i opted for a white background with olive green floral and black text. turned out amazing! my bridal party loves them and i cannot wait to send them out! great product for a very reasonable price.

Camera shutter noise bugging you?
Try 'Camera ICS' from Google Play. Works for me. No rooting needed. Works exactly like the stock camera app, but with the ability to turn off the shutter sound. Comes with some great features that aren't available with the stock app.
The shutter noise was one consideration that I had in mind for rooting the phone... now I don't have to just yet! - 01-15-2013, 11:46 AM #2

We trust that this swingtowns critique can further you along your path with exciting material .
"Swinging" allows couples to discover fantasies and desires as a team, enabling a greater understanding of sex which in turn permits sex to take a role in the relationship uninhibited by the usual ties to monogamy, gender roles and other boundaries assumed by couples.
"Swinging" can be defined as freely engaging in social and sexual intercourse with someone other than your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, excluding dating. Many people call it recreational or social sex. "Swinging" may occur at a swing party, a foursome between two couples, a discreet rendezvous, or between a couple and single for a threesome. Although many single men and women are involved, the majority of active swingers are couples.
"Jealousy" can be a harsh reality in The Lifestyle. Both men and women should be on guard, as they could become jealous as soon as their swinging fantasy becomes a reality and they watch as their spouse begin to fondle or even flirt with another person. Many couples are able to work through the jealousy and get to a place where they really enjoy swinging.
"Swing Clubs" are one of the best ways to get started in "swinging". There are many different types of "Swing Clubs" and "Swingers Groups". You can find them online and offline. Some charge and some are free. The online "Swingers Clubs" come in the form of personals, message boards, and even chat rooms. The offline "Swingers Clubs" can be anything from a group of swingers that meet in a private home to a full scale, full service club with hot tubs, lounges, bars, and sex rooms. Some swingers groups and clubs meet in local hotels or bars. Off-premise clubs are for meeting other swingers only. If you want to have sex with anyone, you must make arrangements to meet somewhere else. On-premise clubs have locations for you to engage in sex with the members or guests of the club or group.
In closing, I am confident you feel much more aware and are ready for your swinging voyage. Have a GREAT TIME!!!

What a fun neon color especially if you put a sparkle topcoat on it. Color Club goes on smooth and doesn't need more than two coats. I love this color on my toes and always get compliments on the color.
Really bright, fun colors! Most polishes coming in this shade of hot pink take two or three applications in order to get full coverage but I was pleasantly surprised when it only took one with this brand. Only lasts a few days before chipping starts, otherwise I would have given 5 stars, but great for a quick fix for an evening out!
Fun colors, nice and bright. Chips very easily though - Even on your toes and even with a base AND top coat. I do like the colors though!
I love this nail polish. The colors are so vibrant and perfect for a summer mani. The only issue is that it goes on thin- so it requires at least two coats. But other than that, its great!
I love this color. It is so fun on my toes and it was great this spring and summer. I love greens on my toes and this is a really great color. I really like Color Club polish.
i always get compliments on my nails whenever i use color club nail polish, this bright neon color suited my pale skin quite well.
This is my favorite nail polish color. I love wearing it on my feet but also enjoy using it for a pop of color on one finger. I always get tons of compliments on it too!
This is an awesome little nail polish. It comes in all different bright and fun colors. The polish looks exactly the same in the bottle as on the nails. It has a great consistency and only requires 1 - 2 coats. Does not chip easily.
This was my first impression of Birchbox. I totally fell in love with The color club Aquarius nail polish! The bright color was perfect for spring and summer and the polish lasts long! :) Hope they bring this one back!
Age of aquarius is my all time fave! I also love Jackie-Oh a bright pinkish red color. Great for pedi's in the summer.

All About Pronouns
Our editors help writers understand this important part of speech
Are pesky pronouns causing you grief in your English writing? Relax—our ESL editing and proofreading professionals are here to help explain this troublesome part of speech.
What is a pronoun?
Pronouns are used in place of nouns. The purpose of pronouns is to avoid repetition and make sentences easier to understand. Some of the most common pronouns to remember when learning English as a second language are he, she, it, they, and this.
The seven types of pronouns
There are seven types of pronouns that both English and English as a second language writers must recognize: the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the relative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.
1. Personal pronouns refer to a specific person or thing. Their form changes to indicate a person, number, gender, or case.
- Subjective personal pronouns are pronouns that act as the subject of a sentence. If you are learning English as a second language, remember that the subjective personal pronouns are I, you, she, he, it, we, you, and they. For example:
- "I walked directly to the party."
- "You showed up late; she was annoyed."
- "He thought you had forgotten; we knew you were just behind."
- Objective personal pronouns are pronouns that act as the object of a sentence. If you are learning English as a second language, remember that the objective personal pronouns are me, you, her, him, it, us, you, and them. For example:
- "The police officer told my brother and me to slow down."
- "He pointed to the pedestrians and said to be careful of them."
- "The police officer said there are a lot of speedy motorists like us."
- Possessive personal pronouns are pronouns that show possession. They define a person, or a number of people, who owns a particular object. If you are learning English as a second language, remember that the possessive personal pronouns are mine, yours, hers, his, its, ours, and theirs. For example:
- "Is this book yours or his?"
- "All the books are mine."
- "Nobody's house has as many books as theirs, not even ours."
2. Demonstrative pronouns point to and identify a noun or a pronoun. This and these refer to things that are nearby in space or time, while that and those refer to things that are farther away in space or further away in time. For example:
- "This is the dress I will wear; that is the one I wore yesterday."
- "That is not true."
- "Please pay for those."
3. Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. The interrogative pronouns are who, whom, which, and what. If you are learning English as a second language, it is important to remember that who and whom are used to refer to people, while which is used to refer to things and animals. Who acts as the subject, while whom acts as the object. For example:
- "Which is the best restaurant?"
- "What did he tell you?"
- "Whom should we invite?"
4. Relative pronouns are used to link one phrase or clause to another phrase or clause. The relative pronouns are who, whom, that, and which. The compounds whoever, whomever, and whichever are also commonly used relative pronouns. For example:
- "Whoever added the bill made a mistake."
- "The bill, which included all our meals, was larger than expected."
- "The waiter who served us doesn't know how to add."
5. Indefinite pronouns refer to an identifiable, but not specified, person or thing. An indefinite pronoun conveys the idea of all, any, none, or some. If you are learning English as a second language, remember the following common indefinite pronouns: all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, each, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, nobody, none, one, several, some, somebody, and someone. For example:
- "Everybody got lost on the way there."
- "Somebody forgot to bring the map."
- "No wonder so few showed up."
6. Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the clause or sentence. The reflexive pronouns used in writing English are myself, yourself, herself, himself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. For example:
- "She baked a cake for herself."
- "We decided to eat it ourselves."
- "We heard her say, 'They should be ashamed of themselves.'"
7. Intensive pronouns are used to emphasize their antecedent. Intensive pronouns are identical in form to reflexive pronouns. For example:
- "I myself find pronouns fascinating."
- "They themselves think everyone should know about pronouns."
- "You yourself should tell everyone how great pronouns are."
Practice makes perfect when mastering pronouns
Are you interested in learning more about pronouns? GrammarCamp, a grammar training course, features several lessons about pronouns (and other parts of speech). You can also submit your most recent document to Scribendi.com's ESL editing and proofreading services for expert help. Our editors will ensure that all of your pronouns are perfect.

Mini-Crabcakes with Celery Root - Fennel Slaw
Author Notes: I love finger-food that I can graze on but can be a meal if I need it to be. I've been playing with these little crabcakes for a couple years and they always seem to be a hit. I used a pan to make mini-cheesecakes to bake them in which I like because I can pop them up out of the mold so easily. But I've made these in mini cupcake pans with good success too. It all depends on how big you want the little guys to be. The slaw is a great accompaniment and with the colder months being the best for celery root, it's a great way to use it. For a lunch, I don't chop up the slaw in a processor in the last step, I just leave it more matchstick-like. - TheWimpyVegetarian
Makes 14-20, depending on their size
- 1 1/4 cup freshly made breadcrumbs, divided
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons chopped chives, divided
- 2 teaspoons chopped fennel leaves, divided
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound crabmeat, shells removed
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Italian parsley
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and add 1 cup breadcrumbs, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon chives, and 1 teaspoon fennel leaves. Toss around to completely cover the breadcrumbs and to lightly toast them up. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the breadcrumbs, chives and fennel leaves with the rest of the ingredients starting with the crabmeat. Make sure the ingredients are well combined.
- Fill your molds with enough of the breadcrumb mixture to cover the bottom pretty well and tamp down. Fill the rest of the molds with the crabcake mixture and sprinkle a little of the breadcrumb mixture on the top.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the crabcakes are set. Remove from the oven and cool enough so the crabcakes can be handled easily. Remove and top with the Celery Root-Fennel Slaw.
Celery Root - Fennel Slaw
- 1 celery root, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks
- 2 small stalks of celery, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 small fennel bulb (or 1/2 large bulb), finely diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fennel leaves
- 5 scallions, white and light green parts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons watercress leaves
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Combine the apple cider vinegar and mustard until well mixed. Slowly add the olive oil with a whisk to ensure a good emulsion. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Combine all other ingredients together in a medium bowl and add 1/2 of the dressing. Toss together to mix really well. Add the rest of the dressing or as much as you want. Mix together really well again.
- Pulse in a food processor until you have the consistency you want. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Put a dollop on each Mini-Crabcake when they're plated onto a serving tray.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Open House Dish

Thanks MM!! The crab I got this past week was so good - some of the best I think I've had in a long time. These little crabcakes are all about the crab too. You can't have too much liquidy stuff going on or they won't hold their shape as well over time.

The 2010 Moutere Chardonnay is youthfully mute with some hints of reduction soon giving way to notes of lemon curd, peach blossoms and apple tart with hints of lightly toasted bread, honeysuckle, cedar and chalk. Medium bodied and elegantly fruited in the mouth, it has a lovely suggestion of creaminess to the texture with crisp acidity and a long finish. Approachable now, it should drink best 2012 through 2017+.

An 11-year-old student of Murphysboro Middle School was hit by an SUV Wednesday after school.
It happened around 3:15, a block away from the school at the intersection of 21st and Walnut Streets.
According to Murphysboro Police Sgt. Brian Brewer, the boy looked east but not west and started to cross the street. He ran directly into the side of an eastbound SUV driven by 45-year-old John Wuest of Murphysboro.
Police say the boy was shaken up, but suffered only non-life threatening injuries. He was taken to a Murphysboro hospital for treatment.
The driver of the SUV was not injured and was not ticketed.
Murphysboro Middle School released a letter to parents saying they school and city are looking into how to make the crossing of Walnut Street as safe as possible.
Any students living on the north side of Walnut Street is eligible for bus transportation home.
The school plans to go over safe street crossing tips with students.
