It's not clear what causes salivary gland cancer. Doctors know salivary gland cancer occurs when some cells in a salivary gland develop mutations in their DNA. The mutations allow the cells to grow and divide rapidly. The mutated cells continue living when other cells would die. The accumulating cells form a tumor that can invade nearby tissue. Cancerous cells can break off and spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body.
Many different types of salivary gland cancer exist. Doctors classify salivary gland cancer based on the type of cells involved in the tumor. The type of salivary gland cancer you have helps your doctor determine which treatment options are best for you.
Types of salivary gland cancer include:

A lovely crag tucked away in a sheltered wooded valley to the west of Belford. Unlike the continuous edge of the nearby Bowden Doors, Back Bowden consists of a series of separate buttresses spread along the valley side, tailing off into some woods. The sheltered nature of the place means it can get a bit hot and fly-blown in humid conditions but it also makes a top venue on cold clear days. Many of the routes here range from hard to very hard though there are enough easier offerings scattered around the cliff to make a visit worthwhile by most folks, whatever their aspirations.
ACCESS - There have been problems here in the past with people blocking access to the gate which, understandably, has annoyed the landowner. His solution is simple, you block his gate and he will move you car. To avoid future access problems PLEASE PARK CONSIDERATELY.

I made this on a tuesday night and was surprised at how quick it was. I was a little disappointed though as it all seemed so dry - i think it could have done with some juicy peppers and some sort of sauce. I ended up smothering mine with bbq sauce and wishing it was a fajhita! I would love to try again though as it was so quick, healthy and cheap! any suggestions welcome....

Mission Statement:
UNC-TV has a written strategic plan that is a public document, which includes this mission statement: Television has the power to change lives. Public television has the responsibility to change lives for the better: a child far from urban resources is inspired to become a scientist, a high school dropout earns a GED, a homebound senior remains connected to the world of arts and culture, the family of an Alzheimer's patient finds strength and support. UNC-TV's unique programs and public media services provide people of all ages with enriching, life-changing television.
Fulfilling The Mission
UNC-TV receives feedback from viewers every day letting us know how much they appreciate our programs and services. UNC-TV is watched by more than 4 million viewers each week, and almost 75,000 members send in their contributions each year to keep UNC-TV on the air. During 2012-2013, UNC-TV and its partners produced 332 hours of original local programming, making it a leader in the public television industry in that respect. UNC-TV offers telecourses for college credit in partnership with North Carolina's universities, colleges, and community colleges. UNC-TV also broadcasts basic literacy education and high school equivalency training throughout the year. UNC-TV has received numerous regional Emmy Awards and many other honors for its programming and services over the years, including the 2010 Spectrum of Democracy Award from the North Carolina Center for Voter Education.
UNC-TV's Governance Structure
UNC-TV has a well-defined governance system that assures ample oversight that is both transparent and representative of the diverse views and interests of North Carolinians. As part of the University of North Carolina system, UNC-TV is ultimately responsible to the University's Board of Governors, which owns UNC-TV's licenses to broadcast granted by the Federal Communications Commission. The Board of Governors is primarily appointed by the North Carolina General Assembly. In addition, UNC-TV's Board of Trustees serves in a direct advisory capacity, assuring that public involvement and perspectives will have further influence on UNC-TV operations. The Board of Governors appoints 11 Board of Trustees members, the governor appoints four, and the president pro tempore of the senate and speaker of the house each appoint one. Five serve ex officio: the president of the University of North Carolina, the president of community colleges, the superintendent of public instruction, the secretary of health and human services, and the secretary of cultural resources.
Public Broadcasting Funding
In the United States, public broadcasting is funded by a unique combination of public and private support, and that includes UNC-TV. Some have questioned this model and asked if there are better alternatives. In other countries that have some form of public television — the BBC in Great Britain and the CBC in Canada are probably the most familiar examples — public television and radio broadcasters are fully funded by the national government, removing the need for any form of fundraising, underwriting from private sources, or funding from local governments. Most countries in the world have adopted this model for funding public broadcasting.

What does Mrs.Hopewell mean by the phrase "good country people"?
Topic: Good Country People
What does Mrs.Hopewell mean by the phrase "good country people"?
2 Answers | add yours
When Mrs. Hopewell refers to others as "good country people," she means it as praise for people who are "simple" and "the salt of the earth." O'Connor uses this dialogue ironically, however, because Mrs. Hopewell only uses this phrase to describe people she considers to be inferior to herself. Mrs. Hopewell not only calls the Freeman family--her hired help--good country people, she also uses the term to describe Manley Pointer, the Bible salesman who comes to her door. Neither Mrs. Freeman nor Manley is entirely what they seem, so Mrs. Hopewell's labels ultimately look ridiculous.
Posted by podunc on October 5, 2009 at 10:06 AM (Answer #1)
"Good country people" refers to those whom Mrs. Hopewell sees as simple and moral. They are the opposite of how she views her own daughter, Hulga, who revels in her nihilism and uses her education to demonstrate her supposed superiority. The "good country people" are seen as innocent, as opposed to the experience that Hulga imagines herself to have, and the experience that Manley Pointer actually has.
Many of O'Connor's stories deomnstrate irony in the title. This story is no different. Hulga seeks to tempt and corrupt Manley Pointer, seeing him as a simple Bible salesman. Yet he turns out to be more corrupt than she could imagine. He steals her leg, & when she pleads, "Aren't you just good country people?" he replies, "I hope you don't think that I believe in that crap! I may sell Bibles but I know which end is up and I wasn't born yesterday and I know where I'm going!" Thus, the "good country people" turn out to be a lie.

Occupational therapists treat patients with injuries, illnesses, or disabilities through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. They help these patients develop, recover, and improve the skills needed for daily living and working. Forty-eight percent of occupational therapists worked in offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists, and audiologist or hospitals. Others worked in schools, nursing homes, and home health services.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Occupational therapists typically do the following:
Patients with permanent disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, often need help performing daily tasks. Occupational therapists show patients how to use appropriate adaptive equipment, such as leg or knee braces, wheelchairs, and eating aids. Patients can function independently and control their living environment by using these devices.
Some occupational therapists work in educational settings with children one on one or in small groups. They evaluate disabled children's abilities, modify classroom equipment to accommodate certain disabilities, and help children participate in school activities. Some therapists provide early intervention therapy to infants and toddlers who have, or are at risk of having, developmental delays.
Occupational therapists who work with the elderly help their patients lead more independent and active lives. They asses the patient's abilities and environment and make recommendations, such as using adaptive equipment or identifying and removing potential fall hazards in the home.
In some cases, occupational therapists help patients create functional work environments. They evaluate the work space, plan work activities, and meet with the patient's employer to collaborate on changes to the patient's work environment or schedule.
Occupational therapists also may work in mental health settings where they help patients who suffer from developmental disabilities, mental illness, or emotional problems. They help these patients cope with and engage in daily life by teaching skills such as time management, budgeting, using public transportation, and doing household chores. Additionally, therapists may work with individuals who have problems with drug abuse, alcoholism, depression, or suffer from other disorders.
Some occupational therapists—such as those employed in hospitals or physicians' offices—work as part of a healthcare team, along with doctors, registered nurses, and other types of therapists. They also may oversee the work of occupational therapy assistants and aides.
Most occupational therapists enter the occupation with a master's degree in occupational therapy. A small number of programs offer doctoral degrees in occupational therapy. Admission to occupational therapy programs generally requires a bachelor's degree and specific coursework, including biology and physiology. Many programs also require applicants to have volunteered or worked in an occupational therapy setting.
Master's programs generally take two years to complete; doctoral programs take longer. Some schools offer a dual degree program in which the student earns a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in five years. Part-time programs that offer courses on nights and weekends are also available. Both master's and doctoral programs require several months of supervised fieldwork in which prospective occupational therapists gain real-world experience.
Forty-eight percent of occupational therapists worked in offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists, and audiologist or hospitals. Therapists spend a lot of time on their feet working with patients. They also may be required to lift and move patients or heavy equipment. Many work in multiple facilities and have to travel from one job to another.
The median annual wage of occupational therapists was $72,320 in May 2010. (The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less.) The lowest 10% earned less than $48,920 and the top 10% more than $102,520.

Health Professions: Physical Therapist Assistant: PTA FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the setting in which you work, a typical day for a Physical Therapist Assistant may include:
• Assisting patients after surgery or following a disease in basic skills such as: getting in and out of bed, getting in and out of a chair, and walking. • Teaching exercises to strengthen and stretch weak and tight muscles. • Teaching balance and coordination exercises. • Teaching patients to walk again with an artificial leg. • Performing modalities such as ultrasound, traction, hydrotherapy, and electrical stimulation. • Promoting health and wellness in fitness centers and schools. • Consulting with employers and employees about preventing injury in the workplace. • Working with children of all ages on gaining independence for everyday activities such as sitting, eating, walking, and going to school.
A Physical Therapist holds a doctorate degree. They are responsible for performing initial evaluations for new patients, higher-level skills such as joint mobilization, and supervising Physical Therapist Assistants.
A PTA earns an associate's degree in applied science, holds a state license to practice and works under the supervision of a PT. They perform the majority of direct patient care once the Physical Therapist has evaluated the patient and the treatment plan has been established.
Employment opportunities for PTAs are growing due to the rising costs of healthcare, an increase in the number of elderly and an increase in the number of sports injuries among adolescents. Over the past two years, all graduates from this program found employment either during their final clinical rotation or shortly after graduation.

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Canon will introduce a new portable printer to replace its i80 and a scanner with a new lid design for four different scanning options at CES.
The Pixma iP 90 will be compatible with existing accessories for the i80, but the company will offer a new battery pack to match the new finish of the i90. The model adds two printing modes: a long life mode produces 50 percent more pages versus the normal printer mode while offering a higher quality than traditional "draft" modes; and an emergency mode which kicks in when a user runs out of black ink. When the black tank is depleted the printer switches to a process black created from the cyan, magenta, and yellow color tanks to finish the printing job.
The i90 produces 16 pages per minute (ppm) black and 12 ppm color. It uses a new color ink cartridge — the BCI 16 — previously found on the company's photo printers.
The unit can print from wireless devices via infrared or an accessory Bluetooth dongle. It produces 4,880-by-1,200 dpi prints with a 2-picoliter droplet size and can print borderless photos. The printer ships in January for a suggested $249.
The company's new CanoScan LiDE 500F can scan 35mm film (unmounted positive or negative) and photo prints and features a new lid design for four scanning options. The unit can be stood upright and the lid opened 40 degrees for "drop-in scanning" with no photo placement necessary. In the landscape position the scanner lid can open 110 degrees for a traditional placement; the lid also expands like the company's previous "Z-Lid" expansion top or can open 180 degrees for scanning odd-sized objects.
It uses USB 2.0 for connectivity and drawing power, and features 2,440 by 4,800 resolution. It ships in mid-January for a suggested $129.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

The restaurant always looks lovely
and inviting. Unfortunately they tend to overbook on holidays and the service and food suffer. Our meal was pleasant but not great and the service was slow and erratic. Not up to their usual standard."
Dined on 2/14/2014
This is a wonderful restaurant
with a beautiful winter view of the golf course. I go there as often as I can for lunch and it feels like I am away on vacation. Great fresh food, service is friendly and attentive. I love the grilled shrimp and goat cheese salad: the red snapper is also amazing. My friend recommends the eggplant parm."

Once again, Cafe on the Green
afforded a terrific dining experience. The holiday decorations provided an extra touch of warmth and elegance to the dining room. The entrees were delicious as usual and the wait staff are excellent. We always order the Bananas Foster for dessert and they don't disappoint! This is one of our favorite restaurants in the Danbury area and as Manhattan residents, we am comparing to some of NYC's best."
Dined on 12/29/2013
We wanted to try somewhere
different for the New Year. Good choice! We will definitely go again. Food service and atmosphere Fab Salad included (rare these days) nice touch Only hitch they need to get skim milk for my after dinner Latte!"

Café on the Green is always
consistent...great meal and a great atmosphere! Nice Dinner"
Dined on 12/31/2013
This has always been a very good
restaurant, with top notch entrees . This time the New Years Eve fixed price venue was not worth the money with a couple of drinks and tip, My rack of lamb was undercooked, though medium was requested."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Enjoyed a lovely lunch with a good
friend. We relaxed for a good long time and enjoyed a delicious meal along with attentive, yet unintrusive service. Great place for meaningful conversation and inspiring view. Owner exemplifies hospitality. Decor is elegant, comforting, and especially opulent during the holiday season. Can't wait to return soon!"
Dined on 12/28/2013
Always a favorite. Never
disappoints, we tend to head there with visitors and for special occasions. Good value, tasty food."
Dined on 12/24/2013
We love to come to Café on the
Green. The menu and preparation are outstanding. The wines are always novel and of fine quality. This is our choice for a romantic evening dining by the window overlooking the golf course. It is also our choice for a sandwich and beer on the outdoor patio after playing eighteen holes. Family celebrations and lunch with friends finds us here as well. It is truly a restaurant for all seasons and reasons!"
Dined on 12/24/2013
App previously requested was
unavailable. Head chef never mentioned it to the chef apparently. I was disappointed. Got over it after a while."
Dined on 12/23/2013
It was a pleasant experience with
wonderful choices for entrée's and desserts. The quiet atmosphere was great for us to catch up on events and happening in our lives. We wished the there was a lounge to spend more time with each other and wished that the fall leaves were still on the trees."
Dined on 11/28/2013
My husband and I had our
Thanksgiving dinner at Cafe on the Green and it was excellent. The food was cooked to perfection, flavorfull, and served hot. We couldn't stop sharining with others how excellent the service was as well. We did not have to wait for anything and they noticed quickly when we were done with that serving, they quickly came and removed the empty dish. It was the best service we have ever had at a restaurant - great staff!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
On the holidays which our sons and
their families spend with their in-laws, my husband and I look forward to dining out together at Cafe on the Green. The food and service has been consistently excellent since we first discovered the restaurant in 2007. Whether for Thanksgiving or Christmas, it is always festively decorated. We credit their success to the top notch management."
Dined on 11/28/2013
As a last-minute decision to have
lunch I chose Cafe on the Green as I recalled a wonderful meal there a few years back. I am kicking myself it has been so long since I made my next appearance. This is true 'gem'. It was a cold day, but overlooking the golf course which was so green was beautiful and the restaurant itself is lovely. We both ordered pasta dishes - one with duck and Crimimi mushrooms and the other with Italian sausage and onions and they were divine! We shared a Chocolate Lava Cake and with us both having been in the food industry we decided it was one of the best we have ever had. I must take my husband here this winter! Truly four seasons dining."
Dined on 11/23/2013
There were 6 of us and all thought
that the entrees were perfectly cooked. Service was exceptional and management was very accommodating. Wine list was varied and reasonably priced."
Dined on 11/9/2013
We love this place--staff is
attentive, food is always excellent and prices are fair--it has become our "go-to" place for special occasions as well as a destination for a nice evening out--highly recommend it!"
Dined on 11/3/2013
The view overlooking the golf
course is great, the wine list is extensive but expensive (3 times retail is gouging). The veal and lobster dish was OK, veal was not tender with very little taste. The garlic mashed potatoes were good but the portion was a dollop. The chicken cacciatore was overcooked (dry and tough), the sauce was good, but the garlic mashed potatoes were almost nonexistent. The salad which everyone received was extremely small. Overall, an expensive meal of very small portions poorly prepared."
Dined on 10/12/2013
There is nothing not to like about
this restaurant. Carlos and Luis are very personable and attentive as is the rest of the staff and the filet mignon is always superb."
Dined on 10/12/2013
Going out to dinner is a special
occasion for my husband and I but our pick is always Café on the Green for our special occasions. The food is outstanding, the ambiance is romantic but also perfect for couples in a group or girls-night-out. My friends and I have celebrated many birthdays outside on the patio and we all love it when the suggestion for lunch is at the Café."
Dined on 10/8/2013
We were celebrating Sally's
birthday. We enjoy celebrating special occasions at Cafe on the Green. Always an enjoyable experience."
Dined on 10/1/2013
This lovely spot enhanced our
special event!! Beautiful outlook over the golf course, friendly, experienced waiters and beautifully groomed interior. Never felt rushed, a truly great night!!"
Dined on 9/21/2013
We don't have many special
occasion restaurants in our area and this one really fits for one of those nights! Great ambience, great food, and very attentive staff."
Dined on 9/16/2013
Without a doubt the finest fine
dining experience in the entire area. Ambiance, service, and food are superb topped off with a thoughtful and versatile wine list. Nothing pretentious or overbearing. Just excellent food graciously served in a pleasing and comfortable setting. It just doesn't get any better than this in western CT. Well worth a drive - you won't regret it."
Dined on 9/15/2013
I made a reservation based upon a
favorable review of the wine list by Wine Spectator. I was not disappointed. The food was delicious too. The staff was polite and professional. No complaints on service."
Dined on 9/2/2013
I ordered the filet hignon medium
rare and requested it be very tender. It was served medium, dry, cold and far from tender. The mashed potatos were also cold. The filett had the appearance of being re-heated. The waiter offered to replace it but I do not like to watch my dinner guests eat and in turn have them watch me. I will not eat in tandum. The sad part about it is that this has happenened in the past on more than one occassion. I told the maitre de of my poor food experience."
Dined on 9/2/2013
The only thing I would say is that
the service staff is too attentive. It almost seems that they have a time limit to get you in and out of the restaurant. It would be more pleasant to me if I didn't feel rushed through my dinner."
Dined on 9/1/2013
We returned once again to Café on
the Green and as usual had a delicious relaxed luncheon with a nicely chilled Pino Grigio. The service is very attentive and accommodating yet not bothersome. The rack of lamb is terrific along with the fish entrée, and pasta is always a good option – all are nicely presented. For dessert, we typically opt for the Bananas Foster prepared tableside – the aroma alone is delectable. The drive up the hill is lovely and the golf course view from the dining area affords a beautiful vista – a great venue for a special event. Of course we look forward to returning to Café on the Green."
Dined on 8/24/2013
Our return trip to Café on the
Green proved to be as enjoyable as the first. The service was excellent and the staff again were particularly attentive to my 93-year-old mother who is partial to the delicious rack of lamb and bananas Foster prepared tableside. My daughter and I ordered other dishes (fish and pasta entrees) which were equally as good, and being foodies who live in Manhattan, we are comparing to a host of fine restaurants we frequent in NYC. We plan to make this venue a staple on our visits to the Danbury CT area."
Dined on 8/8/2013
My wife and I fdound this little
treasure on "Open Table" as we searched for a place for dinner when attending a wedding in Danbury, CT. The four stars hooked us but the experience was exceptional. Great food, simply fantastic service from people who care about their patrons. BRAVO. Dom C. Cincinnati, Ohio"
Dined on 8/17/2013
The setting is scenically located
at the Richter Park golf course. The menu offers a wide range of choices and specials. All 5 of us ordered something different from the menu or the specials and each of us was very happy with our choices. The presentation, taste and temperature of the food was well balanced. One person ordered the Salmon special that was prepared with a bright and refreshing Mango salsa. It was really good. The wine list offers an extensive range of choices. There is a very impressive dessert Flambe Banana Fosters for two that is prepared table side. We chose this place for a 50th birthday party dinner and we were very satisfied with our choice."
Dined on 7/27/2013
food was excellent and service
outstanding - very impressed with service - well oiled machine where entire staff knew their roles place was packed and staff never missed a beat while serving excellent food"
Dined on 7/14/2013
Café on the Green is a gem – what
a great find in the Danbury hills. Our sauvignon blanc and pinot gris were perfectly chilled and of very good quality. My mother had the lobster ravioli, my daughter had the fish of the day, and I had the rack of lamb. All 3 dishes were excellent and beautifully presented. We loved the dessert specialty of the house – Bananas Foster Flambe done at tableside! The service is terrific and the view of the golf course is beautiful. A group of about 20 people was seated nearby for lunch, all enjoying a baby shower so special events and group parties may be arranged as well. We definitely are looking forward to returning and if the weather permits, we would love to sit outside."
Dined on 7/13/2013
This was our wedding anniversary
and was most pleasant and enjoyable. The dinner and dessert was delicious and the service by Luis was exceptional. Thank you."
Dined on 7/13/2013
Privately run restaurant at a
beautiful public golf course. Far exceeded expectations. Interesting Italian specialties, pulled duck bolognese excellent. Very reasonable and extensive wine list. Still serve flaming bananas foster. Can sit outside and listen to live music from the Danbury Summer music presentations while watching golfers come in on the 18th green. A nice find."

Star Wars: Scoundrels
I haven't read a Star Wars book in years, but this one sounded like too much fun to pass up: Star Wars: Scoundrels, a novel by fan favorite author Timothy Zahn that essentially stars Han Solo as Danny Ocean in Ocean's Eleven. Due out in early January 2013, Scoundrels takes place between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, bringing together Han, Chewie, Lando, and a new cast of characters going after a score so big it will solve Han's little Jabba problem forever, if only they can pull it off.
As is often the case with con/heist stories, at times the plan is so convoluted that I couldn't quite tell what was going on, but to be honest that didn't really bother me. I was impressed with Zahn's ability to give the eight new characters on Han's temporary "team" disparate enough personalities that I didn't need to refer to the dramatis personae list at the front of the book – and that's in addition to the villains, who are equally distinctive. While it didn't seem entirely natural to watch Han trusting people, having the patience for the long con, and advising people to get some sleep and turn out the lights on the way to bed, this book somehow works just fine. It also doesn't hurt to have a Star Wars novel with familiar faces, set in this time period instead of decades later, when apparently almost every character has developed Jedi abilities and has temporarily turned to the Dark Side of the Force. I understand additional "standalone" novels in this timeframe are forthcoming.
Minor spoilers below....
There are some slight missteps that might have been caught in editing (and since I read a galley, maybe they still will be). "Chance cubes" are "chance cubes" except for the one time they're referred to as dice. There's a reference to "middle grade children" that throws me out of the Star Wars 'verse and back into suburban America, as well as extensive use of dumbwaiters during the heist. While I can buy that alien cultures might invent convenient "elevators" to move food and supplies from one story of a residential building to another, it seems a bit odd that they would also name theirs after mute food service personnel. There's even a football metaphor. Who knew that in a galaxy a long time ago and far, far away, they not only have Earth sports, but 20th century American sports? As said, these lapses are minor, but they do briefly interrupt the mood, and give the effect of slight carelessness.
On the plus side? There are some fun inside jokes, including an entire scene that pays homage to Raiders of the Lost Ark. There's a funny paragraph in which Han sums up his role in A New Hope as only he can, and an amusing poke at scriptwriters who like to use turbolifts as the ideal spot for heroes to break free from their captors. Heck, I even enjoyed constructing a little chart that might help a writer deal with Chewie's dialogue, for which there's apparently a "no direct translation" rule. We never know what he actually says, only that there is a limited number of iterations in which he growls/rumbles/warbles his agreement/assent/question/objection. (To be fair, I think the "no direct translation" rule is probably the right way to go, but the limitations thereof are still amusing.) I liked the use of "kriffing" – not as good as frakking or frelling, but not bad.
And there's a direct poke at the "who shot first" question – not that it's really a question, in my opinion. It doesn't go quite in the direction I'd have chosen, or as far as I'd like, but it's still cute, and there's only so much you can sneak through the approval process, I'm sure.
Overall verdict: if you find the shelves upon shelves of Star Wars books at the bookstore too much to contemplate, with their complicated storylines that sometimes seem to be spinning their wheels, this is the book that will let you get back to basics and have a lot of fun while you're doing it. Besides, who can resist that cover? Read more!

Easing back in with "Recently Read".....
It's been a while since I've posted, although I'm still reading pretty steadily. So instead of one long review, I'm going to ease back in with short notes on some recent reads.
First up, I read the first two delightful books in the series The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place. In the first book, The Mysterious Howling, 15-year-old Penelope Lumley takes her first governess position upon leaving the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females. In the second book, Penelope and the children visit London for the first time. (The cover of the second book is to die for!) I love Penelope's poetic-yet-no-nonsense soul, and the charm of these children who end words in tapered-off howls, such as when they call Ms. Lumley "Lumawoo-oo." These books aren't the slightest bit realistic, and they don't have the amount of closure that I normally want in books, but they're so wonderful that I just don't care.
Another recent read was Thicker than Water, the fourth book in Mike Carey's Felix Castor series about a hard-boiled exorcist trying to keep it together while both his personal life and London-in-general continue to detereorate in terms of undead activity. This isn't your standard approach to zombies and werewolves, however; some of them are practically upright citizens, or at least don't particularly want to cause madness and mayhem. In any case, this fourth book bogged down a bit in the middle, and I'd almost made up my mind not to seek out the fifth book, but then this ended on a big reveal and a big bad development, so now I'm going to have to keep on with it. I hope the fifth book has the closure I'm looking for since there is no sign of a sixth book.
Around Christmas, I like to read a few Christmas-related books. This year I tried I Am Half Sick of Shadows by Alan Bradley, a Flavia de Luce cozy mystery. I was intrigued by the Tennyson-inspired title, and I thought the feisty 11-year-old heroine might be spunky like Theodosia Throckmorton or Kat Stephenson. And Flavia was spunky, but she was also riddled with contradictions: she's an 11-year-old who plays with explosive chemicals and Bunsen burners, but she still believes in Santa Claus, and her attempts to chemically catch Santa in the act are silly and serve little other purpose than to put Flavia on the roof at a key point in the plot. A big mystery in Flavia's past in hinted at; considering that this is the fourth book in the series, the author is being pretty stingy with information (although to be fair, I haven't read the first three books). My guess (possible spoiler if I'm correct) is simply that Flavia's mother died giving birth to her, or gave up her life in some other way to protect her baby, and this is what causes the sibling tension in the house. It's definitely not enough to keep me interested, I'm afraid.
I can't go into much detail on this next book since I was contracted to write a lengthy essay on it, but I do highly recommend 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami if you're in the mood for something different. At almost 1,000 pages, this is no quick read, but rather a slow yet fascinating examination of an alternate 1984 in Tokyo and how it affects the two main characters.
Finally, a nod to an absolutely adorable picture book that I've already bought for one nephew and plan to buy for another in the future: Shark vs. Train, written by Chris Barton and illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld. This book is about two little boys who go to the toybox and pull out a shark and a train, which they then pit against each other in a series of escalating silly contests, like which would be better at jumping off a high dive, which would be better at basketball, and so on. The shark and the train smack talk each other throughout, making this a witty book that parents won't mind reading more than once.

Totally Joe
Recently I received James Howe's Addie on the Inside to review for VOYA. I had been aware of Howe's Bunnicula series but had never read anything by him. In any case, the front cover of Addie calls the book a "companion" to The Misfits, and then I found out that another book called Totally Joe fit in there somewhere.
Let's just say I like to be thorough! Which naturally means that I felt compelled to start at the beginning with The Misfits. Narrated by Bobby Goodspeed, a thoughtful 12-year-old who is part of the four-member "Gang of Five", The Misfits is a quiet little story about how Bobby learns to speak up, not only for himself but for others. Bobby had been bumbling along with his fellow misfit friends, but finds within himself unexpected strength and leadership qualities. Overall, I quite enjoyed this book, in spite of a few parts that I found a little tedious (such as the word-for-word transcripts that Addie insists on keeping each time the Gang of Five gets together). The ending was unexpectedly moving, however, and pretty much won me over to the series, so I was happy enough to proceed to Totally Joe.
And wow! Just wow. This novel is narrated by Joe Bunch, another of the group's misfits who just happens to be a 12-year-old gay boy (technically, at 12 he's not a teen yet). Joe is working on an English assignment, which is to write, over several months, an "alphabiography" of his life from A to Z. I was initially worried that this book would simply recap the events of The Misfits, but was pleased to find that the plot does actually advance chronologically -- not too far but just enough to satisfy -- from the prior book.
This was an incredibly touching book, and I was very impressed by Howe's ability to significantly change up both the format and voice from The Misfits, yet undeniably retain the spirit of that book. I was particularly moved by trying to imagine what it must be like to be a boy young enough that you still think kissing is gross, yet old and self-aware enough to know that you like boys, not girls. If you don't feel something while reading this book, then in my opinion you just don't feel much at all.
When I finally got to Addie on the Inside, I was surprised to find that it is told entirely in verse, yet another complete change in format and voice. I was skeptical, but now I'm just really impressed with Howe's scope and talent. I won't say more about Addie here since I just submitted my review to VOYA, but suffice it to say that I highly recommend this entire series.
And I can't wait to see what format and previously unexplored depths Howe comes up with for the fourth member of the Gang of Five, Skeezie.

A slightly different version of the following review was first posted in a "Writing Children's Literature" online course I recently took from Western New Mexico University.
Ice by Sarah Beth Durst is a young adult fantasy novel consisting of a modern-day retelling of the fairy tale "East of the Sun, West of the Moon." There is also a fair amount of "Beauty and the Beast" mixed into the story. Cassie loves her life as the daughter of an Arctic researcher and has no desire to experience everyday "civilization." Her only complaint is that she misses the mother she believes to be dead. On her fateful 18th birthday, Cassie learns that she has a magical birthright, and that the Polar Bear King has come for her hand in marriage.
Major spoilers follow.
Cassie quickly decides to marry Bear in exchange for his arranging to free her mother from the trolls. Cassie soon comes to love Bear, and learns that he is a munaqsri, or magical creature that shepherds souls during birth and death. Shortly after learning she is pregnant, she unwittingly breaks Bear's bargain with the trolls by looking upon his human face, and he must leave her to marry the troll princess. Cassie swears that she will rescue Bear and bring him home.
I absolutely loved the first part of this book, when Cassie explores the Arctic, goes to live with Bear, and falls in love with him. I did not enjoy the middle of the book as much, when Cassie treks alone across all sorts of terrains and meets several munaqsri in her quest to find Bear. To me, this part of the book felt a bit like a D&D quest: go here, see this creature, set a new goal and go there, see that creature, and so on. It felt a little bit as though pages needed to be filled up the first section and the conclusion, and also because the pregnancy needed to be at a certain point at a certain time in the plot. To be fair, though, I don't know how I would have done this differently if I'd written it.
Regardless, I'm happy to say that I found the ending quite satisfying, and I loved that Cassie took action in such a determined way. I felt that this story truly achieved a modern update to a fairy tale (or two). It was somewhat unconventional; in most fairy tales, the "happily ever after" comes before the relationship is consummated, but in this case Cassie marries Bear and becomes pregnant in the first half of the book. It is important to note that there is no hint of rape -- Bear makes perfectly clear that sexual relations are not a condition of the marriage. I found the progression of Cassie and Bear's relationship refreshing in comparison to the usual wispy, dreamy "happily ever after" trope.
I chose to read this book because I love stories about Arctic environments, polar bears, and survival. (I also admit that I just love that cover!) I'm glad I read it, because the writing is good; I enjoyed the insertion of Cassie's modern-day sensibilities into the unusual settings; and I especially loved the way Cassie decided to mix human scientific research with munaqsri magic.

The Marlins outfield is only big enough to handle one prospect as Logan Morrison is hitting the DL on the same night that Mike Stanton finally hits a home run. Morrison projected to be the anti-Stanton with solid AVG and OBP but limited power (10-15 HRs). Yet after 4 early HRs, he was showing the 4-category prowess that makes owners feel all a-tingle. But then Logan goes and hurts his left foot and will miss 2-4 weeks. Guess Daniel Day-Lewis is now the favorite for the title role in The Logan Morrison Story. I'd stash vs.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jorge Cantu
These are the leading hitters in the major leagues for April. Do I think every hitter does the same thing every year? No, I don't. But hitters do tend to follow patterns. If these players were good in April last year, there's at least a chance they will be good this year. Also, as I went over in this spring training stats post, just because a hitter isn't hitting in March doesn't preclude a big April. Anyway, here's some top fantasy baseball hitters for the month of April:
Adrian Gonzalez – 22 homers pre-ASB in 2008, 24 homers in 2009, 18 homers in 2010. Just wait until A-Gon starts getting crap in September and October for not being "clutch." Yeah, I put douchey quotes around a word, sue me.
Please, blog, may I have some more?What I never understood about the trading deadline is why wait until the last second to make a trade? Did the Padres really wake up on July 31st and think they suddenly needed a bat? Wasn't this apparent on April 2nd? I understand you don't trade for pieces if you're out of it, but the Padres, for instance, haven't been out of it all season, unless they assumed they weren't contending when the season started. Maybe they wouldn't have got Ryan Ludwick, because the Cards may not have been selling him in April, but they needed someone. Then there's the other deals that remind me of my friend who buys things just because they are on sale. "Do you really need a 120 count box of chicken bouillon?" "No, but Shop-Rite was selling Chicken Bazillions for only $2.99." So, in that vein, do you really need Matt Capps when Jon Rauch is serviceable? No, but we've been dying to shed these upside prospects and the price was right. Deep thoughts by Grey Albright, I suppose. Anyway, here's what I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Lance Berkman – Traded to the Yankees. This is one of those moves that's actually better for fantasy. In real baseball, adding Berkman to the Yankees lineup is like adding pecan sandies to a tray of chocolate chip cookies. Hey, if you like a pecan sandie, then go for it. I think you were fine with the chocolate chips. Let's face it, leaving Houston helps anyone's value. Berkman goes from between Keppinger and The Glue They Once Called El Caballo to hitting in an All-Star lineup. Hey, Runs and RBIs, nice to see you again. As I mentioned in the comments when the trade went down, A-Rod's sitting at 16 homers, so don't expect The Stadium They Built Next To The Stadium That Ruth Built to suddenly add 20 homers to Berkman. He's still old and struggling. Value goes up, but only so much.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chris Davis is so easy to strike out that pitchers should let him get a 4th or 5th strike like you'd give the small-for-his-age kid in little league. "Good cut, Chris!" Then the parent who needs anger management screams, "It's on a freakin' tee! Hit the damn ball!" Davis is also so easy to strike out the Rangers felt like they needed to go out and get someone who is marginally better. Enter Jorge Cantu. Or as I like to call him, the guy I told you to sell back at the end of April when his value was at its highest. Cantu gets a boost in value because he's now going to be hitting in a lineup with Giant Machine and Hulk Machine, while calling Coors South home. I'd grab Cantu off waivers if I was hurting at my corner infidel spot. Meanwhile, Chris Davis heads to the minors to try and reclaim that glory that had Bill James projecting him for, like, 40 homers and 10 steals. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Ian Kinsler – Back to the DL with a strained groin and could be out until the end of August. Who had July 29th in the 'Kinsler goes back on DL' pool? Kinsler's officially dropping way down in 2011 drafts. He might be the fourth Ranger drafted next year. I smell a sleeper post about him from January Grey. January Grey, "Leave me alone, I'm watching Jersey Shore."
Brett Wallace – It's ironic he's only a 1st base prospect because he's getting passed around the majors like a trollop who's been a lot farther than 1st base. For those keeping score, he's gone from STL to OAK in the Matt Holliday deal, OAK to TOR for OF prospect Michael Taylor (whom Toronto got in the Halladay deal), and now from TOR to HOU for OF prospect Anthony Gose. The book on Walllace is he's a great hitter with a bad glove (hence the move from 3B to 1B). Now it's one thing when STL trades a 1B (when they have Pujols) or when Oakland trades a 1B (Billy Beane likes to keep busy) but when the Lyle Overbay-playing Blue Jays trade a 1B prospect one has to wonder. Is something wrong here 0r is the Jays GM, Alex the Greek just opa'ing prospects into the fireplace? Either way, Lance Berkman looks like he's about to embark on the Casino Bus. If Wallace gets called up, he's immediately mixed league material. He hit 18 homers in 385 minor league ABs this year. Though it was in the PCL. BTW, this is the longest blurb ever for a roundup. I don't even remember who I was talking about. Oh, Brett Wallace! Yeah, he can hit, grab him now in NL-Only leagues, deep mixed leagues and keepers, just in case he's called up.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I'm bitter. I dropped Brennan Boesch in one league on Wednesday night for Russell Branyan. Branyan DNP yesterday. Boesch hit a homer off CC. All my ex-classmates at the College of Fantasy Baseball at Charleston are going get on my case. That's Waiver Wire 101, man! I'm chagrined.
Please, blog, may I have some more?This is a moderate Buy. I wanted to find a player that would make you excited to buy, but I also wanted to cover Grady Sizemore. I owed it to you, loyal Razzball reader. So here we are. Grady has NOT (Hey, it's Caps Night!) been terribly unlucky. I know BABIP makes you say WTF, but I need to go there super quick. His BABIP shows a guy that isn't that far off from his career mark. His line drive rate is around its norm and his fly ball rate is down. His K-rate is up and his walk rate is down. So to break this down into your Leisure Suit Larry terms, I think he's pressing (that's what the walks and Ks are telling me), his average should go up (his line drives), which should help his steals (guessing). There's got to be some homers in his bat. Guy just doesn't lose his shizz at 27. Actually, they're supposed to gain it. I wouldn't pay more than sixty cents on the dollar, but I would buy Grady. The Indians are despised, according to the Wall Street Journal (that's real PC there, WSJ), but that doesn't mean Grady needs to be. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Psyche! Before we get into the post, I wanted to tell everyone I'm in Austin this weekend to attend Rudy's wedding. I won't be near a computer for the weekend, so please help each other. You can do it! Now make me proud. Anyway II, here's the post…
Brandon Wood – I will now attempt to avoid any Wood puns. As I opine… Dah! If you're hard up… Gah! I give up, grab Wood.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Trevor Hoffman has been lights out all year. Maybe he jumped in the Cocoon pool. Octavio Dotel? The post office said they're going to a five day week because of cutbacks and the amount of fan mail coming in for Dotel. Now hold the preceding up to a mirror. Dotel as a Pirate has done nothing except plunder his fantasy owners' goodwill. Even Roger ain't Jolly. The Hoff looks drunk. And Trevor too. The pickups for this duo of dud is Carlos Villanueva, Joel Hanrananananan, Brendan Donnelly, Evan Meek, Hawkins, Coffey, Shelley Duvall, the guy at Subway that kinda skeeves you out, the Polish Sausage in the 7th inning stretch race and Cher. Pick them up in that order. For full disclosure, I grabbed Hanaranananan because Villanueva was taken in all of my leagues. I didn't go deeper than that. Some shituations just aren't worth the ulcer. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Garrett Jones – 2-for-7, 1 RBI. After his first four at-bats yielded 4 Ks, Robot really turned it on. Fool him 5 times, shame on Robot.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Finally, Jacoby Ellsbury hits the DL. This is probably a DL trip of less than a week. At least the Sawx hope so. Was also revealed Mike Cameron will miss a few weeks with a strained abdomen. (Shouldn't it be a strained abdoman?) If Cameron needs surgery, he could miss up to two months. Darnell McDonald was called up. Darnell McDonald is the answer to the question, "Who is Darnell McDonald?" Other questions his name could've answered were, "Who's the thirty-one year prospect in the outfield?" "This is the Red Sox depth?" and "Wait, what?" Old McDonald has some speed….
Please, blog, may I have some more?Brian Fuentes hurt himself lifting weights. Can't he just take HGH like every other freakin' major leaguer. Hayzeus Cristo, my closer luck has been terrible so far this year. The closerousel has made me really nauseous. Forget SAGNOF, more like CRYNOF, which acronyms to nothing but has "cry" in it. Fernando Rodney is the immediate pickup, but, if your leagues are like mine, he's gone already. I grabbed Kevin Jepsen where I could for the chance that he might sneak in and grab a save or two. Fuentes says he'll be back as soon as his DL stint is up, but, if Rodney runs with the job, don't be surprise to see Scioscia call shenanigans. SABCS — Scioscia Always Be Calling Shenanigans. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Kevin Gregg – Officially takes over the closer role. Gregg will probably drop a turd nugget in his next game and lose the job back to Frasor.
Please, blog, may I have some more?These are the leading hitters in the major leagues for last April. Do I think every hitter does the same thing every year? No, I don't. But hitters do tend to follow patterns. If these players were good in April last year, there's at least a chance they will be good this year. Also, as I went over in this spring training stats post, just because a hitter isn't hitting in March doesn't preclude a big April. Anyway, here's some top hitters for the month of April last year:
Carlos Pena – Right now, he couldn't hit the dirt off a hoe (the farm tool, guys, c'mon). Last year, 9 homers in April. Year before, 6. Pre-All-Star Break last year, 24 homers. Yeah, he tends to start hot.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

New iPad is really a wondeful portable media player, the retina display give us unprecedented visual experience. So many users have put lots of Full HD or HD movies on this tablet for playing on the go. but sometimes you may want to mirror your iPad to a HDTV or projector to display photos and videos on the big screen.
If you have an Apple TV at the same time, you can stream iPad content to HDTV wirelessly via Airplay. You can also straightly mirror iPad to HDTV with the help of an Apple Digital A/V adapter. Except above, is there other solutions to connect your iPad to your HDTV? If your TV set supports HDMI output, there are indeed another solutions. This short guide shows you how to have your iPad mirrored to an HDMI-compatible display so as to enjoy your slides, movies, photos, presentations, and everything else that fills your iPad or iPhone 4S screen on an even bigger screen.
What you need to mirror iPad 3/iPad 2 to HDTV or Projector
1. Your new iPad/iPad 2
2. Apple Digital A/V adapter (buy one from Apple Store)
3. An HDMI cable
4. An HDTV, projector or any other display with an HDMI port
And to keep your iPad charged while connected, use your dock-to-USB cable and USB power adapter.
How to mirror iPad to HDTV via HDMI connection
1. First, plug the adapter in to your iPad 2. Make sure the adapter is seated well.
2. Next, plug the HDMI cable into the smaller of the two slots.
3. If you are planning on keeping the iPad 2 charged up at the same time, connect the dock-to-USB cable to the other adapter slot with the dock end, then to the power adapter with the USB end.
4. Next, insert the plug on the other end of the HDMI cable into an open HDMI port on your HDTV (or projector).
5. Finally, use the TV remote to switch the input on your HDTV to the right HDMI connection port, and your main screen of your iPad 2 should now be mirrored on your TV screen now.
1. HDMI mirroring is supported only by iPad 2, iPad 3, and iPhone 4(S). iPad 1 does not with Apple Digital A/V adapter.
2. Apps, presentations and websites can be displayed in up to 1080p HD, but slideshows and movies on the big screen are limited to 720p only. Really want movies in 1080p? Use the new iPad and 3rd Gen Apple TV to stream your movies then.

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is a prominent member of the Bush family: the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush; the younger brother of former President George W. Bush; and the older brother of Neil Bush, Marvin Bush and Dorothy Bush Koch.
Bush was also enrolled at Phillips Academy Andover, a private boarding school in Massachusetts, already attended by his brother, George. Bush made the honor roll in his first semester.
When Bush was 17, he went to León, Guanajuato, in Mexico, as part of his school's student exchange program. He spent his time there teaching English, and it was there that he met his future wife, Columba Garnica Gallo.

WSU Olympic Oak plaque (Rob Schunn/Eyewitness News / October 12, 2012) |
A dedication ceremony for the Olympic oak tree was held Friday morning at Wichita State University.
The tree honors the gold medal win for two former University of Wichita basketball players and a former coach back in the 1936 Olympics.
As an award the team received the gold medal and an oak seed from the German government.
That oak seed that the team got in 1936 found its way back to Wichita State, now the Olympic oak stands right outside of Koch Arena.
"This is a direct viable connection to our history to those players", says Ted Ayers of Wichita State.
If you want a closer look at the history of the first men's Olympic basketball team and its connection to Wichita State the library on campus has a detailed exhibit on hand.
