A little rain and cool temperatures didn't hurt the turnout at the 2nd Annual Hope 365 Riverfront Run his morning.
The Catholic Charities' run and walk raises money for three food pantries in the area.
About 160 runners signed up for the event and almost all of those started on the ConAgra Campus and ran to the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge and back.
For some the event combines helping others through a healthy lifestyle.
John Meyer says, "I just like to stay active, I enjoy being outside and doing things. Living in Montana there is a lot of good stuff to do outside so I just try to get outside and do stuff."
Approximately $20,000 was raised for the Catholic Charities Food Pantries

Different band, time and place!
From historic St. Augustine, Goosebumps, a Morse family labor of love, play their roots-inspired tunes to warm a cool November evening. Mom and the boys are a-tunin the strings for a night to remember.
Alice Milmoe, hopes to present dance figures with a difference. Or different figures. She'll keep you movin' too.
The Goosebumps are Matthew Morse, fiddle; Aaron Morse, fiddle and mandolin; Seth Morse, guitar; Dawn Morse, bass.
Sweet and tangy kumquats, fragrant on the breeze, only hint at the tasty tunes of another Florida homegrown, Kumquats at Large. Returning from a lauded performance, Bill Dudley and Sarah Mitchell are joined by the ever popular Rich Crew in enchanting a dancer's evening.
Our own ever-popular JoLaine Jones-Pokorney, a caller at Catapult in 2013, collaborates to call fun and tangy dances.
Kumquats at Large are:
Music by the Great Bear Trio and the Rafter Ringers
Callers Beth Molaro and Sarah VanNorstrand.
Autumn winds a-blowin thru the fields unleash rhythm with melodies that follow in natural harmony. Echoing, amplifying and multiplying nature's cadence, Wind that Shakes the Barley, with the unique melody of hammered dulcimer will enchant dancers this October dance.
Our caller, Hilton Baxter, having called for touring bands such as Great Bear Trio brings his easy-going style to Gainesville. A long-time caller from upstate NY, he "will get everyone moving to the music quickly and with confidence".
There's Magic in the Music with a whistling author, a multi-instrumentalist and the rest of the banjo-pickin, pot-licken, bass thumpin crew from the Sunny Melrose Contra. Bringing their old-time, country tunes with a touch of zest and spirit, the Potluck Poachers are cooking up a dance to remember.
Calling and devotedly carrying the contra flame, Eric Harris expects to be as happy calling for us as we are to see him in the caller's spot.
Contra-Fusion is coming our way with "percussion toys" and "wild and crazy recorder improv". Layered with African rhythm and big-band strings, 'Comes When Called' promises to "delight dance floor denizens" with their Celtic, modern and old-time tunes.
Our caller, on a whistle stop in Gainesville from her world travels and budding ukulele career is Susie Rudder. Susie is also the house caller for the Melrose dance on 2nd Fridays.
Git your Yazoo out and Kickstart some fine Fall dancing and great music. Yup, music-ing fer us, are the Yazoo Kickstarts with Mike Stapleton on fiddle, Bill Paine - mandolin & guitar, Marietta Massey - banjo, David Massey - fiddle & piano.
Our caller, John Rogers, usually booking talent in Cocoa and Melbourne, steps out in front of the spotlight this Sunday. John is an "almost FL native who mis-spent his youth not dancing...until he came upon a group that called out instructions." A rousing Gainesville welcome to John.
Of the many Kumquat varieties, those At Large are one of the tastiest. Five years in the making, the Kumquats At Large serve up Rich Crew (fiddle and recorder), Sarah Mitchell (penny whistle, flute, drum, foot percussion and hammered dulcimer) and Bill Dudley, guitar.
JoLaine Jones-Pokorney adds her unique spice to the mix, calling dances to challenge and please your dance palate.
The Gadabouts are dropping in for an evening of "percussive, foot-tappin', yes ma'am, shake your booty good time" Contra Dancing! Get your fix of old time music gone amok interspersed with zesty and beautiful cajun waltzes.
Calling for the gadabouts is Stan Prince, whose believes that "dancers are there to dance to the music and not to listen to the caller once they've learned the dance". He has been calling for ten years and dancing a whole lot longer.
A collision of classical strings and African rhythms is just half of the musical storm blowing your way when Category 5 returns to Gainesville. The storm force builds with their high energy jigs and reels - predictions are for few dry dancers on the floor.
Anchoring the tempest is our caller, Vicki Morrison, who advocates contra dancing as the answer to world peace.
Category 5 is: Sarah Mitchell on flute, hammered dulcimer, percussion, Kathie Aagaard (of the Florida Orchestra) on fiddle, John McEwen - Irish banjo, tenor guitar, percussion, David Massey - keyboard.

Good cookbook for a new cook?
A good friend of mine just moved into a new place with a big kitchen. She was recently married so she has every gadget imaginable and wants to start cooking. She is a novice and asked me to recommend some cookbooks. Does anyone have any in mind? She likes the ones with pictures and no fuss, delicious recipes.
Number one for a new cook: Julia Childs "The Way to Cook". Master recipes, big pictures, every section tells you where to start, how to substitute and gives you choices. I learned to cook with it more than 20 years ago, and it is still a great resource.
Pictures are a tough requirement, but you may want to also have her look at Nigella Lawson's books. Again, if pictures are required, her recipes are easy to follow and I use them a lot.
Other books I would recommend, (that are great, but don't have pictures), Mark Bittman's "The Best Recipes in the World", and "The Cook's Bible" published by Cook's Illustrated.
re: Felixnot
I thought my self to cook with The Way to Cook as well, and think it's a great choice.
re: Felixnot
I must agree with Julia's "The Way to Cook". I am an accomplished cook, but still find myself pulling out Julia when making something we don't have often (like crepes, or a leg of lamb) IMHO, this is the very best for new cook.
re: Phurstluv
FWIW, I was 23 or so when I started using The Way to Cook, and really didn't no much of anything about cooking.
She would like "America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook," which is huge, filled with pictures and cooking tips. It must have at least 1,000 recipes in it. The ATC franchise is publishing a baking cookbook to match, which I've already ordered. It will be available in a few weeks.
re: Firegoat
The Best Recipe, which is one of the "Cook's Illustrated" books is a good choice for the novice cook since it not only tells you how to make a recipe, but also why the recipe works -- i.e. the science behind the recipe. It is not the most exciting cookbook out there, but it is thorough and explicit.
I really like Anna Del Conte's books and her book "Pasta" is easy, has great recipes, and wonderful pictures. It's also very inexpensive to buy it used. It's a steal.
I started with Fannie Farmer (no, not the original). Today I give the novice Bittman's book. If I want to add to someone's basic knowledge I give Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I still feel you have to master the basic techniques if you want to be very good at this business of cooking.
I'm a big fan of Ina Garten. Her "Barefoot Contessa" cookbook has great recipes. Not a lot of ingredients or fancy techniques. It's my alltime favorite.
Maybe I'm just an old fart, but I just pulled out my original Bromberger Joy of Cooking and Craig Claiborne's International Cookbook to look up an old fav. reipe for braised lamb shanks 4 hours ago.
I like Alton Brown's book, but it's more conceptual than specific; heavy on theory and light on recipes.
Joy of Cooking is the opposite; tons of recipes, but not much in the way of unifying information. And the pictures are very limited.
The Way to Cook (Julia Child) is, IMHO, the best beginner's cookbook in the world. Enough recipes to allow you to figure out what you're going to do with what's in the fridge or pantry, and enough general information about foods to help you learn to cook without recipes. It also uses the "master recipe" format: start with something simple that allows the cook to master the basics, then add ingredients and embellishments that a beginning cook will be comfortable with only because the basic theme and ingredients are familiar.
re: souschef
I strongly second this nomination. La Varenne is in my experience of giving many cookbooks over the years to novice cooks (in other words, generally *not* the kind of people here at Chowhound) the most helpful at building basic information in the quickest way.
I started with a Joy of Cooking, but the book that made cooking fun was Silver Palate. At this point, the cookbook is probably dated, but I still refer to it regularly. When my daughter gets her first kitchen, I will make sure she has a Joy, Bittmans' How To Cook Everything, Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home along with numerous recipe cards of her "momma" favorites.
re: smtucker
The Silver Palate is my all-time favorite, and after all these years I don't think there is a better, easier crowd pleaser recipe than Chicken Marbella. The recipes are simple and standouts, easily mastered by even a novice.
re: City Kid
Second that, City Kid. Silver Palate is a home-run. Chicken Raspberry is an all-time fav of mine and frequently requested, as is the chili for a crowd and the Roast Lamb. "The New Basics" would be a good one for a novice as it gives more explanation about cooking times, techniques and temperatures.
I think Bittman's How To Cook Everything is a perfect "go to" book for a huge amount of recipes, as well as great info about what to look for when shopping, cuts of meat, what freezes well, *everything*. I've been cooking for years and has been my base since I received it a few years ago. It doesn't have pictures, but does have quite a few drawings "where necessary"
re: DGresh
Wow, DGresh, I thought nobody was going to mention this fabulous book. I guess we've all either taken it for granted or some have soured on it.
This is hands-down the best book for a new cook I've ever come across. It covers almost everything you've ever heard of and some you haven't. I've given it as a wedding present to 2 couples and both have thanked me profusely. One couple actually began to get deeply interested in cooking and now make sophisticated dishes all the time.
I don't know whether it's still in print (does that make me an old fart?) but I found recently in a used book shop a copy of Cooking in Colour, which I gave to my niece. The great thing about it is that every recipe has a colour photo, so you know what the final product should look like. Very simple, straightforward recipes, some actually a bit fancy-shmanzy, and a pretty broad variety of styles. Also, everything is in metric and Imperial.
another vote for Bittman's How to Cook Everything. It's simple and logical and detailed enough for anyone from a beginning cook to one with more experience
I just bought someone a new cookbook called Everyday Food. This person loves pictures for everything and they are somewhat simple. I believe it's put out by Martha Stewart and is on the grocery shelf monthly as a magazine too. It's a great beginner cookbook but nice attractive meals.
re: lexpatti
That is the companion book to a PBS cooking show. The recipes I have seen on the show always look decent and simple. Good food, a minimum of ingredients with some thought. Sort of Americas test Kitchen merged with 30 minute meals.
America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook.
They really do test everything.
Everything works, especially for a novice.
re: pickypicky
I haven't used it yet, but in reading through it, it struck me as a good book for a new cook as well.
I would highly recommend a new cookbook (1st Edition, 2007) from the editors of Cook's Illustrated entitled The Best International Recipe, A Home Cook's Guide to the Best Recipes in the World.
This is because it is instructive without being juvenile. As Cook's Illustrated magazine is known for, they test kitchen recipes to find the best result, the best ingredients, recommended tools, etc. It's fun because the variety of international recipes is not boring and it shows so many ways to cook.
The Best International Recipe book has about 30-40 pages for each country/region and offers basic recipes after a brief narrative. They entitle each recipe in American and give the proper foreign name following. The narrative sometimes gives a bit of history, sometimes their stages of kitchen discovery to get best results, sometimes an explanation of a needed ingredient and a possible alternative in American stores. It will show "the best" equipment (like using a tagine for some morroccon dishes) however, will also show a "fine option" (using a Le Creuset Dutch Oven in its place).
This is Cook's Illustrated magazine style.
It shows the different preparation styles; such as (a) how in China one might slice on the bias the veggies, scallions, meat, etc., (b) why using cubed cheese for Queso Fundido (melted cheese dip) is better than using shredded or packaged shredded cheese and why, (c) how to flambe on a gas stove and how to flambe on an electric stove; (d) shows pictures of assembling techniques for such as French blintzes and free-form tarts, Mexican tamales, Indian samosas, and scoring British soda bread and (f) they even show a picture of the proper dough consistency of good Italian gnocchi and a picture of what would be too soft a dough.
There are traditional recipes from 14 international areas, so one would become familiar with the spices, the meats, the veggies, etc. (ingredients) indigenous to each area. And, having learned the closest way to make the real international dishes right here in America, I would think that after using this book for awhile, "winging it" with original ideas would be successful.
Because I have watched and cooked with great home cooks from variety of nations, I saw many instances in this book that concurred with what they taught me.
It even contains my new favorite recipe for variation Italian tiramisu, Orange Frangelica Tirimisu, that was featured in their magazine.
I think that the Joy of Cooking is an excellent reference cookbook, one that I reach for whenever I am looking for a specific type of recipe. However, I would also want cookbooks that are colorful, full of pictures and inspiration. For more information about cookbooks, I have written two pages. One, which you can find at www.squidoo.com/cookbooks1, is a guide to choosing good cookbooks. The other is a discussion of a hugely popular book series called Company's Coming. You can find it at http://www.squidoo.com/companyscoming.
I am lost without my big red McCall's cookbook. I always use this as a reference. I think it is definitely as good as Joy of Cooking if not better. It has 700+ pages and a huge variety of recipes. This would be my suggestion for a first all purpose cookbook. Mine was published in 1963 and it is timeless. Good cooking never goes out of style.
P.Andy - pandacurry.com
Joy of Cooking. What the Gideon bible is to hotel rooms so the Joy of Cooking is for kitchens. There's a reason for that. It has a smattering of information on just about every food.
I really like giving novice cooks both The Joy of Cooking and Cookwise by Shirley Corriher. If you want to know the "why" of cooking along with the steps and pictures I think it's a valuable resource.
I treasure cook books (with yummy photos to drool over), and I believe every home should have at least a few. However, books have limits. Online you can find anything. Perhaps making your friend a list of links to tasty food websites and blogs would be a nice addition to the cookbooks.
Great Food Fast meets the stated requirements: easy recipes, delicious results, mouth-watering photographs.
However, two superb cookbooks for novices that don't have photos have already been noted in this thread: The New Basics (by Silver Palate authors) is very comprehensive with a lot of, discussion of basic techniques, definitions, etc. and many fabulous recipes; it does have drawings and diagrams. And Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything is also fabulous, with helpful advice and a slew of pretty simple recipes.
Not a cookbook but a DVD and a book by Jacques Pepin:
The Complete Pepin: Techniques and Recipes (DVD) plus
Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques (Book).
It's almost like going to cooking school.
(If there is budget for one more...Jacques' Fast Food my Way would be a good third to round out the set.)
And I forgot in my earlier post: The (original) Silver Palate was reissued in an anniversary edition last year or so, and it has beautiful color photographs. I learned to cook from the original edition, and 25 years later, I am still cooking happily and still using many of those recipes.

About the ManufacturerFor those looking for the secret to the exquisite beauty of their re-claimed teakwood furniture, the answer is simple. All it takes is the time and touch of Mother Nature. Antique Farm implements, yokes, plows, sugarcane grinders, and wagons from a bygone era provide the framework for the interpretations you see in their furniture today. For many years, this wood was not available to the public. Only recently has this vintage prized wood come to market. Soon demand will exceed supply, and the vintage collection you see in its purity today will be reduced to accents of varying degree. Each piece you see is designed for today's lifestyle from yesterday's antiquities. The rich colors and tight grains of this ancient teakwood combine to form the unique character and patina of this collection. Suited for both indoor and outdoor use, Groovystuff furniture provides the atmosphere and character you need to create a rugged earthy look. If kept outdoors, your collectible will turn silver gray as only mature teakwood does. These hints of gray add identity to each piece, but can be easily re-nourished with a fresh coat of Briwax once a season or to your taste. Congratulations on your newest discovery.

Angie Wilson investigates labor, consumerism, and the handmade. She reworks Persian carpet motifs, American rag rugs, and other craft traditions to question cultural consumption and production while reflecting on traditions of re-use in the midst of growing income inequality. Through repurposing and reconfiguring preexisting materials, Wilson connects her hand to the invisible hands of anonymous largely forgotten makers, from rug weavers to industrial garment manufacturers.

"Could not have been happier with this announcement! I loved that scalloped edges were offered to help jazz up the look of the card. Shipped super fast - was projected to arrive Monday or Tuesday of the next week, but received it the Wednesday before. Will definitely use Tiny Prints for future card needs!"
"Beautiful birth announcement. Good quality paper. I ended up needing more and the additional announcements were shipped out immediately. Excellent customer service- would definitely order other products."
"I used this for the birth announcements for my daughter and loved it!! Chic and elegant! All fam and friends had a compliment:)"
"I thought the card looked amazing when designing it, but was blown away by the style and quality one printed! These announcements were simply stunning and look like we spent a small fortune, when we really didn't! I can wait for our next purchase!"
"I used this birth announcement as my daughters 9 month pictures for family and friends! I loved it! The only draw back to this card was the size restraint on the text. The program kept me from making the text larger, which in turn made the text difficult to read in some areas. And when I got the product I could see that there was plenty of room for more space in the text area."

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind.
You may have tried to control your thoughts at one time or another. With the aid of self-help books, perhaps you really tried to "Be Positive" and "Show Negativity the Door." And this may have even worked for a while. But sooner or later, you probably found yourself back at the starting point. I'm here to tell you that there is another way. And that is to become the CEO of your own mind – skillfully directing it to live in harmony with the other players of self - body and spirit.
If you follow the six steps below, you will be the master of YOU in no time.
Like all good leaders, you're going to have to listen to your disgruntled employee, and acknowledge that you're taking its message seriously. Minds, like people, can relax and let go when they feel heard and understood. Practice gratitude and thank your mind for its contribution. "Thank you, mind, for reminding me that if I don't succeed in making more sales, I might get fired." "Thank you for telling me that I may always be alone and never find love and have a family." "These are important areas of life, and I need to pay attention to them, and do my best to take advantage of every opportunity that comes up. I also need to learn from past experiences so I don't keep making the same mistakes."

Last words: Paul McDermott says he has thought often about what would be said at his funeral. Photo: Fiona Morris
Depending on the day and his mood, Paul McDermott's fantasies about his own funeral wander fromtales of a "fantastic and glorious life" to something much more mundane.
The comedian is not scared of dying, as long as the end comes quickly and is ''not too horrific". He is a man, after all, and men do not deal well with pain, he admits.
Peril: Barat Ali Batoor. Photo: Wolter Peeters
But he has often thought about the end and his final farewell so when McDermott delivered his own eulogy as part of a TEDx short film project, it was delivered with the flippancy only a comic would use.
The short film John Was a Good Man, produced by Kate Kazokas and Lucy Adelaide, features several prominent Australians, including social commentator Jane Caro, science expert Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, chef Matt Moran and musician Urthboy, delivering their own eulogies.
''Looking back, it is very difficult to see any evidence that he did write the perfect song,'' Urthboy says.
Belief wins through: Judy Sharp with her son Tim. Photo: Fe Lumsdaine
TV host Andrew O'Keefe, burns survivor Turia Pitt, actor Jessica Tovey and Christian Democrats MP Fred Nile also deliver short eulogies of their lives, speaking in the third person with video images of themselves projected onto their own faces.
Kazokas said she encouraged their stars not to hold back.
"We've opened a conversation with renowned creative and industry professionals, challenging them to be honest, lie brutally and get creative," she said.
Facing death at sea, refugee journalist kept taking photos
The perilous journey was the asylum-seekers' last chance of freedom. But as waves engulfed their rickety boat in the wild waters off Indonesia in September 2012, Hazara photojournalist Barat Ali Batoor knew death was fast approaching them.
With a camera in his hand, the freelancer, who was one of about 90 asylum-seekers fleeing Afghanistan and Pakistan, captured what he thought would be their last hours.
''We didn't have any hope, we all lost hope,'' he said.
''We were watching our deaths, and I was documenting it.''
But death did not arrive, and the boat ran ashore on rocks near west Java. Batoor's camera was destroyed, but miraculously the memory card survived and so did all the images and videos he captured of the journey.
''I was free with just a memory card,'' he said.
Batoor ran away with bare feet to seek freedom, and in May last year he was resettled in Australia.
Batoor's photographs have been exhibited in Denmark, Dubai, Australia, Pakistan, Italy, Japan and Afghanistan, and appeared in many international newspapers and magazines including The Washington Post, Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal.
He won the Nikon-Walkley best photo essay award last year for the series of images he captured on the asylum-seeker boat.
Mother drew out a masterpiece
The day after her son's third birthday Judy Sharp was told by a specialist her first-born had autism so severe, Tim would never speak or show any love towards his mother.
Her only option, Ms Sharp was told, was to institutionalise her son and get on with her life. ''I was hysterical,'' Ms Sharp told the sold-out crowd at TEDxSydney on Saturday.
But as the tears streamed down her cheek, Tim reached out and wiped them from her face. It was a pivotal moment for the single mother of two. She knew Tim had the capacity to love.
Ms Sharp was determined to help her son and began to communicate with him through stick figure drawings. They were not very good, she admitted, but Tim did not care.
It took a year, but one day Tim took the pencil from his mother and began to draw, demonstrating artistic talent Ms Sharp could hardly believe. ''Drawing became a very important part of our daily life,'' she said.
By the time he was 11, Tim's drawing ability developed to the point where he created his own super hero, Laser Beak Man, which has since been turned into an animated television series for the ABC and exhibited around the world.
''I am a world-famous artist,'' Tim said. When he finished their talk with the simple line ''I love my mum'' the 2000-plus crowd gave the 25-year-old a standing ovation.

Fey World Ch. 01bymadam_noe©
It felt like we'd been running forever, and the end of the world was rushing to meet us. Here on the north shores we were closer to my homeland, where my people had once been plentiful, but now I was the last and I dwelled on the southern islands. My brother of bond, if not blood, was eight whilst I was twenty, and his blood was pure southern putting him at my hip. When we ran I would have to frequently carry him and it was wearing on me.
The tang of ocean was blending with the thick smell of the forest to our left as I ran full out, headed only for elusive escape. The boy in my arms was heir to all this and more, and he had to be protected at all costs. I, a princess, should have been the last choice for protector, and indeed I was. Our guards had been slaughtered three days before, and since then Pietyr and I had been running at night and as much in the day as we could.
These were no mere villains chasing after us, these men were half-human half-wolf, terrifying with snarling jaws and huge claws, and yet they rode on horses in this form. I had seen them in the daylight as mere men, all of them pale and blonde and beautiful, something about them inhuman in the eyes, but that hadn't dissuaded the local women.
Now there were at least two of them, and we were running for the cliff caves of Angor. My people had once been raiders of these lands, and we had landed at Angor, Balloct, and Merk in the night, stealing supplies into caves. It had been a hundred years since any raid but the cave locations were handed down every generation, lastly to me.
Suddenly my foot caught something and Pietyr and I went rolling, the sound of hoof beats drawing closer. I caught the glint of metal, silk, and something pink as I flipped to my feet and felt for my brother.
"It's two men and they're dead!" He picked up a sword and it was bigger than him. I took it from him and tested the weight, stepping back and flipping it.
"Pietyr, run to the end of the land at the point. To the left if you look over the cliff are some narrow stairs. Follow them, grasp the cliff wall at the knobs. The steps lead you to a cave. If you do not hear from me wait until morning and find the main road a mile north. Someone may recognize you so wait until you see a friar or a priest. Run, go, now, and no matter what you hear, don't look back!"
"Anni, I love you!" He hugged my leg and I ruffled his hair.
"And I you, now go."
The two men at my feet had long hair in pink and silver, their swords thrown clear but I saw no blood. "Forgive me, good sir, I am not a thief but a warrior without a weapon, so that I may borrow yours in these, most likely the last moments of my life."
Closer now.
I could hide, but that was not the way of my people. Instead I turned my body to the side, making it as small a target as a tall woman like me could get, and raised my sword for attack.
"Lo, there do I see my father," I began the ancient poem my people recited before battle, a prayer for a good and noble death. "Lo, there do I see my mother, and my sisters and my brothers. Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me." The hoof beats were like thunder now, and I could see the riders in their scant armor, their huge dark bodies braced for attack. "They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla." They were close now and I felt my trembling fear turn to a dark rage. "Where the brave may live FOREVER!" I ducked their swords and caught one in the leg tumbling him from his horse.
I spun and shouted the war cry of my people and kicked the sword from his hand as he struggled to right himself. With the long sword I stabbed him in the chest and he screamed in death throes. The sword was heavy enough to have been silver, and as the body caught fire I discovered some of the ancient legends were true.
The second one rounded and I ducked, but his sword wooshed close enough to nick my ear. He'd drawn blood; it was a true fight to the death. He was bigger and stronger, and after several parries I was sweating while he was firm on his feet.
He was stronger but he relied solely on his strength. I was strong too, stronger than any of these southern women, and I knew he'd never met my kind. My people trained in warfare from birth, and the women were taught to fight with skill in the face of superior strength.
I found my dirk beneath my blouse as I passed the sword to my left hand. He snickered, then the dirk glinted in the moonlight and he snarled. The temper made him lunge, he didn't block but thrust. I drew his sword to the side and stuck the dirk in his chest.
For a terrifying moment we were nose to snout and I felt fear hammer loud in my chest. For that moment I could actually see my family waiting for me in the great hall in the sky, waiting to see if the battle was won or lost.
He jerked away and grappled for the steel dirk and I swung. I cut his hand off, but not the one bearing the sword and he lunged again, knocking my sword clear. I flipped back out of reach of his sword and grabbed at mine. His sword caught my calf and drew blood, but it was only a flesh wound, I was angrier about my leather pants.
I twisted and slashed his face, my feet following in a kick that drove the dirk deeper. He staggered back in pain and I landed, used the momentum to roundhouse again, and sliced his head off. For a moment the body stood as if to attack and then fell forward and caught a quick flame that reduced it to ash much like the other.
I knelt, panting, trembling, my adrenaline pumping hard still.
I looked up sharply and saw Pietyr running towards me. I dropped the sword and hugged him tightly, turning him away from the blood and death. "Damn it, I told you to hide!"
"The stairs have fallen away, a long time ago, how did you know they were there?"
"A family secret. Pietyr, you should have kept running. What if they had slain me?"
"But they didn't! If that is how you fight when dad has forbidden your learning how to, how would you fight with training?"
I ruffled his hair. "Silly boy. Though the Norse have all died, their slaves live on, men and women who know their ways and arts."
"Slaves?" His eyes widened.
"Er, um, well, you see-" I stopped when I heard a groan. Instantly I was back on my feet, sword raised, one hand pinning my brother behind me. But the wolves were gone. Instead it was the two men.
Silver was sitting up now, groaning, and Pinky was watching me from his feet. He had a lofty height, one that I had never seen since my people died. I was three inches taller than my father, the King, who was the tallest man in the land. Pink topped me by almost six inches.
"He's a giant!"
"Shut up, Pietyr. Do you know nothing of combat?"
Pinky chuckled. "I gather not as much as you. I am Elfgwyven, and this is my...associate Bornagold. Pleased to be at your service." He bowed with flourish and Pietyr tried to come to the front, to deliver the proper thanks the crown prince of Bellegaard and Angorland would. I pinched him, my right as the oldest princess of Bellegaard, Angorland, and Norselund, and he shut up.
"I am Anni, and this my little brother Pietyr. You are fairy."
Silver was up now and trying to focus. "You can lower the sword lady, and it's fey, not fairy. Humans," he grumbled.
"Can I? What are fey doing at the end of the island?"
"A practical joke," Pinky, er, Elfgwyven, said sheepishly. "We drank too much and our party dumped us here. There must be a main road nearby."
"One mile to the north. You go first."
He laughed as a horse whinnied in the distance. "Perhaps we could ride together."
"I don't think so."
"Madam, only one person in this clearing has killed anyone in the last half hour, and only person in this clearing has stolen a sword."
"You never answered my question. What are fey doing here, now?"
"We are in the area to celebrate the wedding of your Princess Hannah to our King. Celebrating when we were left here as a joke. Hmm," he toed a wolf's hauerbark, "are such monsters common?"
"I have only heard of them in myth, but apparently, they are real." And disturbingly they had blonde hair as humans. Only my people had blonde hair. I shuddered at the implication.
"You are cold," Elfgwyven said. With the flick of his wrist an invisible cocoon of heat enveloped us.
"Wow!" Pietyr said and broke my hold. "What else can you do?"
The two fey smiled to each other at the child's delight. Bornagold lifted his palm and fireworks, such as those we imported from the far east, spilled up into the night as if by magic.
Pietyr clapped his hands but the light allowed me to better study the men. The warrior saw Bornagold was three inches shorter than Elfgwyven, just as broad shouldered, favored his right leg slightly, used his right hip to hold his sword and his left hand for magic. Elfgwyven was young and lithe, showing no weakness, but his eyes were dark and watchful, there was the barest hint of lines at their corners, a man used to the outdoors.
The woman in me noticed both men were examples of perfection, but something about Elfgwyven made something deep and low inside me turn over. Perhaps life would not be so bad, I thought. In just a week I would be marrying their king, and tonight was the first time I had ever lain eyes on a fey. Perhaps my future husband was like Elfgwyven, with a square jaw, a straight nose, clear skin, gently pointed ears, and a mouth that could only be described as sensual. His body was all hard corded muscle, the kind of body I had grown up seeing on men.
For a brief moment I was home in the Norselund with my family, all sunny haired and smiling, our swords and cares cast aside at the shore for a day of play.
I shook it off and found Elfgwyven staring at me.
"I would be foolish to return your sword."
"You do know, don't you, that a fey's word is his bond? I cannot lie. I swear I will not harm you with the sword or any other weapon."
Pietyr kicked me and so I pinched him. "All right." For spite I wiped the wolf blood on Pietyr's cape and passed the sword, hilt first to the fey.
"Where are you traveling?" Elfgwyven asked.
"Barnarct!" Pietyr cried and I groaned.
"So are we. Maybe we could travel together, to make sure we are all safe."
"It's most improper, it's two day's ride."
"You have you brother for a chaperone. I had forgotten how prudish humans could be."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Why should we travel with you?"
"Not that you are not a formidable warrior, but where I come from, a woman should never have to do battle. Our women do know how to defend themselves, but should any man be able to lend a hand, a woman should not have to defend herself or her kin."
"Sounds just as sexist as here," I snorted. "What do you get out of this?"
The two fey looked at each other sheepishly. "Direction. We are quite lost, the nature here doesn't speak to us."
I sighed, puzzled at the words but sensing their honesty. "We need to move on. There could be more of them and we cannot wait here for them to come."
Bornagold snorted. "Seemed to work for you."
Elfgwyven looked at him and the other man shut up. Well, we knew who the leader was there. "We need the horses. Pietyr is tired and I have carried him many miles, I can do so no more."
The fey looked at me for a moment and then nodded. "We will fetch the animals, do wait here."
That was said softly but something in it made me know not to disobey him. I nodded and watched them stalk into the night like air upon the grass.
"They are weird, Anni."
"I know, Pietyr. But they are legendary warriors, we could not ask for better replacements for our guards. And he did give us his word."
"Can they really not lie?"
"So the legends go."
"All these legends, how do we know they're true?"
I kicked a wolf's boot and ash fell out.
"Oh, yeah."
At least I could pick up the wolf sword that had my blood, wiped in clean on the boot, and then borrowed his scabbard. It was ridiculously big but I tied it around my waist and let it lean on my hips.
The fey came back leading the very nervous horses. I picked Pietyr up, though he yelled at me, and tossed him onto the back of one. I grabbed the reigns when Elfgwyven stopped me.
"These horses are already tired. If you ride with Pietyr then us two men cannot be on the other horse, it will not be able to walk very far."
"Then who rides with Pietyr?"
"Bornagold has the greater weight."
I stalked to the other man. "I want you to swear on your ancestral line that you will not harm a hair on my brother's head."
Bornagold looked past my shoulder and waited for something before looking back at me. "I swear I will not hurt your brother, so much as a hair on his head."
"It is done," Elfgwyven said and took the reins. I wanted to stare him down but I felt a blush coming up so I looked away, grabbed the pommel, and jerked up onto the horse.
Like fluid made ethereal Elfgwyven was up behind me and I stiffened. I had never ridden with a man behind me and it was most...intimate. Then his arms came around me and he brushed the sides of my breasts, even wrapped as they were, and my blush exploded. Thank Goddess he couldn't see.
"Shouldn't I be behind you?"
"No. You care too much for your brother."
I had buried nine of them and three sisters. He was all I had left now that his two sisters were both gone, one to the church as a nun after she fornicated with a swineherd, the other married to a duke in the far south. "I am replaceable. He is not." It was true. We needed the fey alliance but if I died then Edwyna would be called from the nunnery and made back into a princess.
He kicked the horse into movement and flicked the reins to lead the mount north. "Sleep," he breathed. The word was sensual and pulling, and I felt myself falling. Instead I snuggled into his warm, hard chest and sighed as sleep rose up to claim me.

1) When did you first start gardening?
My father taught me to plant seeds when I was a child, but even before I raised my first crop of radishes, I was out in the garden discovering flowers, vegetables and bugs, learning to recognize birds and chasing butterflies. I have always been a gardener.
2) What is your favorite plant in the garden?
Spring-blooming bulbs are among my favorite flowers, but I love peonies, roses, hostas, ferns and hellebores, too. In recent years, I have developed a broad interest in native plants and in trees and shrubs. I love growing colorful annual flowers from seed. I plant herbs and vegetables every year, and I am always experimenting with new crops. I have small collections of boxwoods, witch hazels, magnolias, daffodils, deciduous hollies and hydrangeas, and at the moment I'm getting excited about native azaleas.
3) What is your proudest gardening moment?
I love the tempo of gardens, the constant change, the sudden glimpses of beauty: the tiny fists of flower buds on the witch hazels that open on bright, late-winter days to reveal flowers that look like little handfuls of miniature party streamers; the sight of columbines dancing on their delicate stems; the way the sunlight sparkles on the dew in a spider's web. Being outdoors is important to me. One year, my husband and I counted more than a dozen different kinds of birds nesting in our garden, including a hummingbird. I'm proud that the birds know our garden is a great place to be. I love the anticipation and the building excitement in good gardens, the work of planting and tending a garden and the sustained satisfaction of watching plants grow.
4) What tool could you not live without in your garden?
When I step into the garden, I usually have clippers in my hand, but I keep a trug full of tools by the door, and in it are trowels of three sizes, my trusty loppers and a folding hand saw. I use a little pair of nippers to deadhead flowers and pick blooms for bouquets. My husband and I have his and hers hedge shears, for pruning bigger perennials, and we use sharp garden spades to edge the flowerbeds.
5) What inspires you the most?
More than anything else, I try to emulate nature, except that a garden always puts a frame around the natural world. I am always working to create opportunities to experience nature up close and in detail. A garden puts you out in the middle of nature right in your own backyard, where you can really appreciate it. I am inspired by the fuzzy flower buds of spring-blooming magnolias, the silky new petals of a peony and the flash of the fireflies on a summer night.

Cam Newton Reveals Pescetarian Diet At His Thanksgiving Charity Event; Enjoys "Great Dolphin"
Carolina Panthers
Buy Panthers Tickets
Full Schedule
Upcoming Games
The Cam Newton Foundation had their 2nd annual "Cam's Thanksgiving Jam" at the Fillmore in the NC Music Factory on Monday night. Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was center stage hyping up the crowd and helping serve a Thanksgiving meal to over 700 underprivileged kids and family members in the Charlotte Metro area.
CLICK HERE to see pictures from Cam's Thanksgiving Jam!
Alongside his parents and younger brother, Cam Newton interacting with the crowd and even got up on stage and danced with the kids and grown adults!
The kids and families came from Second Harvest Food Bank's Kids Café Sites around our area. In SHFB's 19 county region of North and South Carolina, there are over 180,000 children living in poverty. The Food Bank's Kids Café Program provides nutritious meals and snacks to at-risk children throughout our region. Sites include Boys and Girls Clubs, YWCAs and low-income after-school programs. The Food Bank sponsors 44 Kids Café sites in the Metrolina Region.
In the interview above, Cam opens up to the media about his love of giving back to the community and making these kids a reason to smile and have fun when he's both on and off the football field.
It might be a rough Thanksgiving for Cam this year. He follows a pescetarian diet of fish and other seafood.
"It's been challenging at times especially being around in the locker room and gets guys eating hot wings, nachos, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc."
And when asked what he ate down in Miami, Florida winning his 7th straight game in a row, he said he "had some great dolphin."
Watch his interview with WPEG Power 98's Yasmin Young from the "Morning Maddhouse" below as she talks with Cam about how kids can handle bullying in schools, his musical taste, his favorite video games and the importance of getting an education. Who would have thought that Cam's Dre Beats before a game would have a mix of hip-hop, Maroon 5, and The Fray?

I'm new to WDS as i always use ghost but thought i'd give it a shot so i'm playing around.
Firstly, I'm using server 2003 and WDS to try and deploy XP images to laptops and desktops.
I followed a guide to setting up WDS here
I tried setting using a desktop machine and everything worked great. I'm now trying a laptop.
Here's what i've done so far.
Installed XP SP3 applied updates, installed applications etc
Syspreped the image
Booted into PXE and captured the image and uploaded it to the WDS server
Booted another laptop (exact same model) into PXE and started the deployment process
Selected language and entered network UN & PW
I then get to a screen saying that there are now images available?
I have 2 images uploaded to the WDS server, these are organised into 2 different image groups. One called desktops and the other called laptops.
If i PXE boot the desktop I can see the desktop image and deploy it. i cannot however see the laptop image or select which group I want it to look for images.
On the laptop I can see no images at all.
At the WDS console it is showing the WDS server as online and both images are online.
I have set the security setting to full control for all usergroups.
Anyone have any ideas?

Chard and Salami Frittata
Give your frittata a makeover with chard and salami
Servings: 6 to 8 appetizer or 4 main-course
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch Swiss chard (about 10 ounces), stems and center ribs cut away, leaves coarsely chopped
- 2 ounces thinly sliced Italian Genoa salami, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2/3 cup)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat broiler. Whisk all the eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl.
Heat olive oil in medium nonstick broilerproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender but not brown, about 6 minutes. Add Swiss chard in 3 batches; toss until each begins to wilt before adding next. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until any liquid in skillet evaporates. Increase heat to mediumhigh; add salami and garlic to skillet and stir 1 minute. Add eggs to skillet; stir to distribute evenly. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until eggs are almost set but still moist in center, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese over top.
Transfer frittata to broiler and cook just until set in center and beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Using flexible spatula, loosen frittata around edges. Slide frittata out onto platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
