Book Reviews
Fresh From the Vegan Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson: Review
Review and photos contributed by Dianne Wenz of VeggieGirl. I'm a big fan of my slow cooker and an even bigger fan of Robin Robertson, so earlier in the year when I heard that she was working on a new vegan slow cooker cookbook, I began to eagerly await the date of it's release. Fortunately, the wait is now over, and I am now lucky enough to have a copy of Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker in my possession! more→

Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People by Jennifer Cornbleet
I've had the original edition of Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People by Jennifer Corbleet for some time now. In the summer, I like to try for at least 60% raw food, simply because eating raw makes so much sense when fresh fruits and veggies are at their most abundant. But much as I love my Vitamix for making fresh smoothies and all manner of soups and sauces, I could never seem to get with the program of dehydrating and sprouting that's prevalent in the raw food world. It sometimes seems like you need to start something on Monday in order to have it for dinner on Wednesday. more→

The ABC's of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond
When my kids were young, we used to like to do what we called "food projects" — baking, cooking, planting seeds, making art out of food, and the like. A book like The ABC's of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond* by Steve Charney & David Goldbeck would have been perfect for us, providing many hours of after-school and vacation fun in ways that helped celebrate and appreciate fresh produce. more→
Main Street Vegan by Victoria Moran
In many a glowing description of a non-fiction book, especially a prescriptive one like a self-help book or a cookbook, the reviewer will compliment the author by saying that reading their words feels like having a cup of tea with a friend. I can go one better and say that spending time perusing the pages of Main Street Vegan: Everything You Need to Know to Eat Healthfully and Live Compassionately in the Real World* truly is like having a cup of tea with a friend — because its author, Victoria Moran, is a friend of mine, with whom I've had actual cups of tea (okay, coffee in my case). And she brings the same warm, witty voice she is blessed with in person to her latest book. more→

Melbourne Rebels skipper Scott Higginbotham would love for the Cheetahs to fall for the old two-card trick at AAMI Park on Friday night and again be ambushed.
But he knows that even though the reinvigorated Rebels might have an element of surprise, the Cheetahs were unlikely to again be caught unawares.
The Bloemfontein-based Cheetahs, who were semi-finalists last year, admitted after their round-one shock loss to the reinstated Lions that it had been a game that they had expected to win. Coach Naka Drotske has bullishly proclaimed that the team would aim to clean-sweep their four-game tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The problem the Cheetahs, who beat the Bulls last round, seemingly face is that there is relatively little that is known about the Rebels. While the Cheetahs will be playing their third game of the season when the teams meet at AAMI Park on Friday night, it will be the Rebels' first, with only the South African teams having played in the first round and the Rebels then having a bye in the second.
The Rebels have come off good pre-season form with three wins including an impressive performance against Queensland, and with a new coach, captain, attitude and significantly changed playing roster they are expecting to perform better than the five wins that earned them 12th place last year.
Higginbotham said he did not expect the Cheetahs to underestimate the Rebels.
''I guess they probably would have gone in not expecting to be beaten by the Lions, but that's the way this game is,'' Higginbotham said.
''It's anyone's game on a particular day … in their own [conference] they can probably read the games a bit better, [but] obviously they didn't read the first one too well.
''I think they'll expect a tough game from us especially if they've watched a couple of our trial games,'' he said
The Rebels have not beaten the Cheetahs but are playing with confidence under new coach Tony McGahan.The club has named eight new faces, including two-time title winner with the Chiefs, Toby Smith, experienced back Tamati Ellison and debutant Sean McMahon, who has made a rapid transition from Sevens rugby to claim the No.6 jersey. Fellow debutant Ben Meehan is on the bench.
Higginbotham will play his first Super Rugby game since injuring his shoulder against Queensland last June.

Just because someone suffers from allergies, doesn't mean they have to miss out on the thrill of receiving beautiful bouquets.
If you're in this predicament, because you want to buy flowers, but don't know the safe ones to get, these tips should help clear up confusion and the sniffles in no time.
Let's start with the best flowers for allergies:
Other flowers that are friendly for folks with allergies include Irises, Dahlias and Begonias. Now, on to the worst flowers for allergies. Do avoid:
The Lily, A Yes and No:
Lilies are dubbed the worst for allergy sufferers. Alternately, removing the pollen from the bulb or getting pollen-free varieties (listed above), can be easily used for those with history of hay fever and other types of allergies.
Flowers that are strongly fragrant, or that carry too much pollen are sure signs they might be bad for those with allergies. Even if you're not necessarily prone to allergies, but are hosting events like a wedding or party, it's best to buy flowers that are in the safe zone for guests who may have these allergies.
Ask your local florist for pollen-free flowers, or recommendations for the best kinds for hypersensitivity. Allergy-friendly flowers are plentiful. You just have to put in a little research to find them.

We are one step closer to dredging the Savannah Harbor. The
Senate passed the Water Resources Development Act and now the president has to
sign the bill into law.
But there are still a few more hoops to jump through before crews can start
digging. The Office of Management and Budget has to sign off on it and then the
state of Georgia has to agree to spend their share of the money first.
Officials with the Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah believe this should not
be an issue.
Gov. Nathan Deal announce back in March that he is ready to move forward with
project despite President Obama not allocating money in the federal budget.
The total cost of the project has now increased by nearly $50 million, bringing
the total to $706 million. Georgia will pay 30 percent and the federal
government will pay the rest.
Once everything is signed off on, they will then start the mitigation process
by making sure the environment stays healthy during the dredging.
"We are creating oxygen injection systems that will help boost the oxygen
level in the water," said Russell Wicke, Spokesperson for the Army Corps
of Engineers. "We are also bringing up the CSS Georgia, the iron clad that
was scuttled back in the 1860's during the civil war."
Crews brought up part of that ship back in November but the Corps says they are
working with the Navy to try to bring up the rest of it and then preserve it.
Corps officials say they expect to start dredging in December if there are no
other hiccups. There are only a handful of qualified companies nationwide who
can handle this type of job.
The project entails digging the harbor five feet deeper and extending it eight
miles longer. It's a huge undertaking that is expected to take at least five
There are only about four companies in the U.S. capable of taking on the job,
according to the Army Corps of Engineers.
The potential companies include:
1.Dutra Group
3. Manson Construction Co.
4. Weeks Marine
Corp officials say they could start taking bids for the dredging as early as
Even though none of the companies are local, officials say many of these types
of companies will hire local folks.
"We plan to begin at the entrance channel which is out in the Atlantic
Ocean," said Wicke. "So the Savannah Harbor channel will extend 18
miles out into the Atlantic Ocean once we get approval to do that."
WTOC reached out to all the companies to see if they plan to bid on the project
but we are still waiting to hear back.
The Army Corp of Engineers say they are the ones who will make the final
decision. Officials say they are looking for the best company to do the job for
a reasonable price.

Yonas - I Could
Artist: Yonas
Producer: Sean Divine
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 62 total votes )
After seeing how effectively Yonas stirred Booth readers' hearts with his last feature, Nobody Else, I got to thinking: if the Northeastern buzzmaker channeled that inspirational energy into a straight-up motivational/street anthem, he could really bring down the house. Well, he has, and (I think) he will. Making its world premiere in the Booth, I Could is a grandiose ode to the grind with a braggadocious, but down-to-Earth lyrical sensibility. Over Sean Divine's instrumental, featuring a pensive, arpeggiated-synth verse and an appropriately earth-shaking chorus, the emcee expresses his determination to conquer the rap game and make his mother (and the man upstairs) proud. And his penmanship is just as impressive as his dedication to the game, as showcased in internal-rhyme peppered lines like: "If you're in a daze I can help you out your coma / No diploma, but the art I do belongs inside the Moma." Does this triumphant banger leave you feeling ready to take on the world? Then keep it locked for all the latest on Yonas' forthcoming, yet-untitled project, scheduled to drop February 14.

The Wheaton/Warrenville Christmas Sharing program is an all volunteer charitable organization (501C3) coordinated by an coalition of Wheaton and Warrenville churches – nine total – for the benefit of families and individuals in need at Christmas time. The program provides food boxes, toys, assorted household items, and clothing. Trinity Episcopal has been a part of this program since its inception, 41 years ago! Around November of each year, parishioners are asked to sign up to provide food boxes for small, medium or large families, as well as volunteer their time during the packing and sorting of those boxes. The second week of December, approximately 50 volunteers gather in Millet Hall to sort, pack and serve the families that come to pick up their donated items. The need has been especially great in the past several years because of the continuing economic impact, and reductions in government-funded assistance programs. Last year, Trinity served 126 families and this year it will be at least that many and probably more. Please take time to donate both your time and food/clothing items for this important ministry, because this is what Christmas is all about! Please call the Parish Office at 665-1101 for further information on ways you can help. Or you may visit Christmas Sharing website: www.christmas-sharing.org

0Music Video: Usher – 'She Came to Give It to You' featuring Nicki Minaj
Usher has always thought he was Michael Jackson reincarnate (even before MJ was dead), so it's no surprise to me that he's continuing to try to morph into the King of Pop. It's not happening, of course, but that doesn't seem to discourage him. His new single is called 'She Came to Give It to You', which is like 'Blurred Lines' redux. Because we needed another 'Blurred Lines', of course.
Nicki Minaj features in the song/video and Drake is even there, splurging on a bunch of bags of chips (well, he was there behind-the-scenes, anyway). Live large, man.
This song is awful.

1Missed the VMAs? Let me catch you up!
Did you miss last night's MTV Video Music Awards? You're not alone. I generally purposely try to miss the broadcast, but for whatever reason, I actually tuned in this year – via torrent, of course, which means I got to skip over the seemingly endless ad breaks. Here are the 10 moments that people are talking about/will make you seem totally "on it" around the water cooler at work.
Beyoncé. Everything Beyoncé.
Beyoncé was given the Video Vanguard Award after giving an incredible performance of a medley of pretty much every single song on the self-titled album. I know I get a bit Beyoncé-d out sometimes, but you can't deny she's an incredibly accomplished performer and that award was extremely well-deserved. Jay-Z bringing little Blue Ivy up on stage to hand her the statue at the end was the extra cherry on top. SO CUTE.
Miley Cyrus got a homeless man to accept her award.
Miley Cyrus won Video of the Year, but instead of accepting the award herself, she sent a homeless man from the area on stage to represent the homeless community in Los Angeles and bring awareness to the cause. Miley was in tears the whole time he was speaking, but I can't tell if this was genuine or some weird hacky PR move. I'm feeling optimistic today, so I'll go with the former.

9Nicki Minaj releases a very NSFW video for 'Anaconda'
Nicki Minaj has been teasing the world with her video for new single 'Anaconda' for weeks now. It was supposed to be out a while ago, but got pushed back for 'Bang Bang' and her Beyonce remix. Now it's here, however, and boy is it something else. Spoiler: There's a whole lot of ass.
I keep seeing all these articles saying how badly they feel for Drake and that he must've had his junk taped to his leg after getting a lap dance from Nicki. His thirst for her always has been and always will be the realest thing about him and I sorta love it… even though he's apparently back with Rihanna now (and I love that pairing even more).
Warning: Don't watch this one at work or you might get fired. Unless, of course, you work for a porn company or something. Then by all means, press play.

1Beyoncé releases 'Flawless' remix featuring Nicki Minaj
Beyoncé just unveiled a remix to her popular track 'Flawless', complete with a rap verse performed by herself, and one performed by Nicki Minaj. Beyoncé's verse even pays homage to the infamous elevator incident, boasting, "Of course shit goes down sometimes when there's a billion dollars on an elevator." It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, that line, does it?
All in all, this song did NOT need a remix. But if you want to listen to it anyway, you can head on over to Beyonce's website or listen below (assuming this isn't taken down ASAP):

This hot ass mess of a song came out yesterday, but I decided I should probably write it up today since it managed to reach #1 in 11 countries in 24 hours. Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj teamed up for a screamfest pop track with added rap element in 'Bang Bang', a song that's so all over the place I don't know what the hell I'm listening to half the time.

Paul Walker Scenes To Remain In 'Fast & Furious 7'
Paul Walker had been in the midst of filming Fast and Furious 7 when he tragically died in a fiery car crash last month. Universal has recently announced that they'll be keeping Walker's scenes in the film, which is now due in theaters in Spring of 2015.
Paul Walker 'Fast & Furious' Scenes To Stay In Film
When Walker died on Nov. 30, some speculated about how the car racing franchise would move forward with the movie that was currently in production. In fact, upon the actor's death, production was indefinitely shut down and the projected release date was voided. Not only was Walker a pivotal part of the franchise, but also a great friend to the cast and crew.
The studio put some of the speculation to rest over the weekend in an official statement: "Continuing the global exploits in the franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead the returning cast of Fast and Furious 7, which will be released by Universal Pictures on April 10, 2015. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series, and Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel return as producers."
Vin Diesel Confirms New Release Date
Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel also shared the new release date on his official Facebook page, where he included a picture of the last scene he filmed with Walker.
Production had been about halfway done on Fast & Furious 7. It's unknown whether the other half of the script will be rewritten to exclude Walker, or if CGI or a double – such as Walker's younger brother Cody Walker – will be used to complete the script as written or edited.

Charlotte School of Law Library opened its doors in 2006 to an inaugural class of 86 students. In the early days of building our library stacks, we absorbed a collection belonging to the Mecklenburg Law Library that was no longer maintained by the local public library system. Our first home for the collection was in a repurposed three-story law office, and, while the building itself was a beautiful Gregorian-style mansion situated in the upscale urban area of Dilworth, it soon was deemed too small to meet the physical collection needs of our exponentially growing incoming classes and subsequent staff additions.
West Side Story
In the summer of 2008, we simultaneously cataloged and processed an extensive collection purchased from the former National Judicial College and packed up house and home, destined for a new location. The space was part of new development meant to bring rejuvenation and urban redevelopment to an area of Charlotte that had been the victim of urban blight and serve as a flagship of renewal for the area.
Unfortunately, soon after our move, the recession hit and the development of the area stagnated. Our law library space on the second floor of this building was designed with little input from the library staff and leadership, and the owners of the building resisted creating an interior that was too specific in meeting our needs. As the years passed, our student body grew to more than 1,500, and staff and faculty grew as well. The demands placed upon the law library's facilities and infrastructure by this influx of patrons, in addition to our attorney members and public patrons, meant that our space was ill-suited to accommodate such demands.
Moving, Part Deux
In late 2012, we learned that Charlotte School of Law was destined for uptown Charlotte, taking over nine floors of a premier center city office complex, Charlotte Plaza. This time around, we were fortunate to participate in planning our new library, and many of our suggestions were incorporated into the final design. Our main objective in designing the library was to meet the needs of students and faculty alike. We analyzed how our space was currently being used and tailored our new space to increase access and use.
Study rooms in our old space were highly sought after, so in our new space we increased the number of study rooms from 21 to 39 and scattered a number of these study rooms outside the library on other floors at Charlotte Plaza. Many students also appreciated the quiet study space at our old location, so we designated our entire space on the fourth floor as a quiet area. Our reference librarians are highly engaged with our students, so we created a reference hallway dedicated to these librarians' offices in short walking distance from the reference desk. To enhance collaborative study among students and between librarians and students, we added two distinct Research Zones in the reference area, equipped with computer hook-ups and large monitors.
In order to make all areas of the library easily accessible to students and faculty, we included an internal staircase to connect the fourth and fifth floors. The circulation desk, reference desk, and information technology help desk are all situated directly off the staircase. Focusing on accessibility, we transitioned all of our treatises, state materials, journals, and regional reporters from compact shelving to static shelving.
Free to a Good Home
Although doing away with compact shelving and opening up the library space for our patrons was a welcome change, it did leave us with a conundrum on our hands. Space constraints had been few and far between in our old building, resulting in a somewhat unwieldy collection that had no business moving to our new building en masse. Second copies and non-updated materials abounded, especially reporter volumes, ranging on and on ad infinitum. Once we moved to our uptown building, discard projects would take on a life of their own, requiring use of a freight elevator and possibly even professionals. So, despite the fact that it made our inner librarian bones cringe and twinge, a large number of books needed to be sent away to the "farm" to while away their days in the sunshine, or, more preferably, be rehomed.
Beginning in the 2013 spring semester, we began preparing for our move with a massive book giveaway initiative, reducing our collection as well as allowing us to serve our law student and local legal communities. Over the course of a semester, the library team came together to identify redundant materials, remove them from the collection, and find them good homes. An online database was created via Google, displaying cover art and details of each title. Books were offered in phases, first and foremost to students and alumni as both resource materials and window dressing, well-suited for new lawyer offices, and then to faculty, staff, other local libraries, and the community. Through this project, more than 13,777 books found loving families, with only a few minor hiccups, and we were left with only 2,000 books remaining for the "farm."
I've Got 99 Problems, but My Team Ain't One
After celebrating our successful discard project, we began planning the spacing and organization of our newly culled collection. We spent days poring over blueprints, wandering the stacks with measuring tapes, and crunching linear feet measurements into calculators. Similar to many other law libraries, our collection is organized primarily into categories, such as regional reporters, journals, federal materials, and treatises, and, within each of these sections, by Library of Congress classification numbers. We also have a dedicated reference section focusing specifically on North and South Carolina law. With two floors and a wide range of shelving in addition to these divisions, simple planning turned into a strange logic puzzle, attempting to preserve our categories and maintain a natural flow of the collection across the floors. Once the final calls were made, we congratulated ourselves and moved on with our regular day-to-day duties.
Our original plan to place our shorter book shelves on the fifth floor to provide a clear line of sight was short-lived. It became apparent that our architects weren't necessarily familiar with the nuances of library design. The reinforced flooring necessary for taller stacks was only available on the fifth floor, due to the third floor being occupied by a different company, which made it impossible for engineers to reinforce the fourth floor as well. Suddenly our logic puzzle was back with a vengeance, requiring reallocation—meaning more hands on deck, more face palms, and more desperate cravings for margaritas at lunchtime.
The library was the last department scheduled to move on Friday, August 2. However, at this point, both the fourth and fifth floors in our new building were still under construction due to the reinforced flooring required and the labor-intensive installation of the floating stairwell between the two floors. As a result, the library would have to make do with a much smaller temporary space until our permanent location was complete. We rallied and proved our flexibility, rising to the challenge of separating our essential collection for the temporary space and leaving the nonessential materials on the shelves in our old building for the duration of the semester.
A Team in Transition Stays in Transition
August 2 came, and we packed our offices with much fanfare, planning to start work on our temporary floor the following Monday. However, on the way back from a staff lunch outing, management was informed that our temporary library floor was not ready and that our staff would be spread out into unused offices throughout the building for approximately one week. Thankfully, this "temporary-temporary" arrangement lasted only the one week.
In our temporary library space, we proved that we were a team time and time again. We were only in this location for one semester, so the school was reluctant to incur any expenses renovating the floor for such a short period of time. As a result, four members of the circulation staff shared a small work space, all of our technical services staff was confined to one room, and reference librarians were spread out two to an office. There weren't enough shelves put up for the course reserve collection, one of the doors didn't even have a door handle, and students were frequently locked out of study rooms due to the way the door locks had been constructed. The library staff had to adapt to tightly packed spaces that housed our work desks, book carts, and overflowing book collection. Students were less than impressed with the temporary library. Library staff frequently had to remind students and faculty that the space was not permanent.
At Long Last, Welcome Home
After the semester closed and the holidays arrived, we went to our homes happily while movers and builders feverishly worked on preparing our new floors, and we were able to welcome in the New Year in our permanent space. Our students, faculty, and staff have all been impressed with our new facilities, and we all believe that it was worth the wait. Finally, we're here to stay!
