David Cameron, the British prime minister, has invited leaders of the Benghazi-based Libyan opposition to open formal offices in London.
He made the announcement following talks with Mustafa Abdul Jalil, chairman of the National Transitional Council in the British capital on Thursday.
"These steps continue our very clear intention to work with the council to ensure Libya has a safe and stable future, free from the tyranny of the Gaddafi regime," Cameron said.
He added that the UK presence in Benghazi, Libya's rebel stronghold, would also be boosted, and that Britain will supply police officers there with uniforms and body armour.
Jalil is to meet William Hague, the UK's foreign minister, and George Osborne, the finance minister, later in the day.
Catherine Ashton, the EU foreign policy chief, also announced plans to open an office in Benghazi to facilitate assistance to the rebel council based there.
"I intend to open an office in Benghazi so that we can move forward on the support we've discussed to the people... to support civil society, to support the Interim National Transitional Council," Ashton told the European Parliament.
She said EU support would include help for security sector reform and institution-building.
"We want to help with education, with health care, with security on the borders," she said.
Members of the NATO-led coalition enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya met last week to discuss setting up a fund to help forces fighting the government of Muammar Gaddafi, the north African nation's leader.
A fund controlled by France, Italy and Qatar - the first countries to recognise the Transitional National Council - was announced with donations from other countries including Kuwait. The US has said it is looking at ways to free up some of the $30bn Libyan assets it has frozen to aid opposition forces, who say they need food, humanitarian and medical supplies urgently.

The Intelligent Gardener
by Steve Solomon
Vegetables, fruits and grains are a major source of vital nutrients, but centuries of intensive agriculture have depleted our soils to historic lows. As a result, the broccoli you consume today may have less than half the vitamins and minerals that the equivalent serving would have contained a hundred years ago. This is a matter of serious concern, since poor nutrition has been linked to myriad health problems including cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. For optimum health we must increase the nutrient density of our foods to the levels enjoyed by previous generations.
To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers. The Intelligent Gardener demystifies the process, while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food and healthy people.
This practical step-by-step guide and the accompanying customizable web-based spreadsheets go beyond organic and are essential tools for any serious gardener who cares about the quality of the produce they grow.

The Permaculture Handbook
by Peter Bane
This comprehensive manual casts garden farming as both an economic opportunity and a strategy for living well with less money. It shows how, by mimicking the intelligence of nature and applying appropriate technologies such as solar and environmental design, permaculture can:
- Create an abundance of fresh, nourishing local produce
- Reduce dependence on expensive, polluting fossil fuels
- Drought-proof our cities and countryside
- Convert waste into wealth
Permaculture is about working with the earth and with each other to repair the damage of industrial overreach and to enrich the living world that sustains us. The Permaculture Handbook is the definitive, practical North American guide to this revolutionary practice, and is a must-read for anyone concerned about creating food security, resilience and a legacy of abundance rather than depletion.

Health Tip: When Taking a Decongestant
(HealthDay News) -- A decongestant can help you feel better when you're stuffed up, but you should always follow the package instructions carefully.
The American Academy of Family Physicians offers this advice before you take a decongestant:
Learn the ingredients, as many are decongestants are combined with pain relievers and/or antihistamines.
Find out how the decongestant may interact with your other medications.
Avoid taking combination medications that treat multiple symptoms.
Don't take multiple medications simultaneously, as they may contain at least some of the same ingredients, which could lead to an overdose.

Bugzilla – Bug 4749
client receives no state notifications if RSL <gram:count> is "big"
Last modified: 2007-03-05 15:54:22
You need to

before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2700 +++
I'm reopening this bug because I'm running into a very similar problem which
makes me believe it was never fully fixed. We have been using count=25 and
submitting to Condor, exactly as the original poster was. These are submitted
as batch jobs, however, whose status we check approximately every five minutes.
These jobs typically run in Condor for several hours before finishing.
However, they -do- finish, but that never seems to be detected by GRAM. The
status typically goes from Pending -> Active okay, but as I said, never from
Active -> anything else. Upon close inspection of the state files on disk,
it's evident that -some- of the sub-jobs get marked as Done, but not all of
them. Another reason I'm reopening this bug is because I'm getting the same
warning message as the original poster:
2006-10-05 08:30:09,503 WARN exec.JobManagerScript [Thread-316,run:269]
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""

I've just turned on GRAM debug and will attach that later on after this batch
of jobs finishes. By the way, I'm using GT 4.0.1, which of course makes me
think I should have the fix.
Thanks for your assistance!

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2700 +++
Gaurang noticed the following w/ a Condor factory:
"Whenever i try to modify the test.xml in share/gram_client/ and change the
count to something around 20 or more then if i submit the run using both
manager-job or globusrun-ws the clients start hanging and lose connection
with the jobs. Even though the jobs appear in the remote [Condor] queue and
run [fine], some interaction between the submit client and the remote side
The problem was verified with both Java and C GRAM clients that the
client side does not receive *any* state change event. In the Java client,
which polls the job for status eventually, the job status comes back
as "Unsubmitted".
This indicates a server-side issue. Maybe a problem in the state machine of
the job, might be due to faulty SEG events?
The problem does *not* appear when submitting to Fork,
but when submitting to Condor. Processes spawn by the
count > 1 are executed by Condor on several hosts.
Gaurang noticed the issue most times with count = 50,
and every time with count = 100.
He did not managed to determine a consistent threshold,
but starting at count = 20 the problem appear 50% of the time.
One WARN log message on the server-side (I'm not sure this is
significant though):

I have been monitoring my batch of 25 jobs. Of the jobs that have finished so
far, two of them have not had their state updated appropriately (#7 and #10),
which is really bizarre! Here's why (using job #7 of 25 as an example)
1) The event is logged in the Condor XML log file:

> The latest GT release is 4.0.3. I'd suggest trying that first.
I have recently conducted exhaustive tests of both 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. The
problem, however, persists unchanged. Not only do sub-jobs sometimes not go
from Active to Done, they occasionally don't even go from Pending to Active.
This is hugely disappointing for us at this juncture... is there anything else
we can try? We really appreciate your input.
Thanks for this detailed bug report! I am marking this as a top priority to be
looked at, however this is a busy time with supercomputing coming soon. As
developers time frees up this will be looked at and hopefully we will be able
to provide a patch for you.
Thanks a bunch!
if i remember right, then you didn't run into these problems with 4.0.4 so far,
What's the status here?
I just tried it on my laptop: submitted jobs to my Condor installation
(just one node) with count elements of 50 and 100, both without problems.
You always submitted to a pool consisting of several nodes and never to a
one-node pool, right? Unfortunately the Condor pool i normally use isn't
available at the moment.
That's right, I did two test batches of count 10, of somewhat long running jobs
(a few hours), to a multi-node pool if you want to call it that, and had no
problems. We're not making use of this feature much in our production grid
right now, but I'm pretty sure I could reproduce this problem in 4.0.3 if I had
to, since I had tested that extensively before. I'm just hoping it has gone
away. You can do whatever you'd like with this bug, at this point, but thanks
for looking into it with me.
i'll close it for now, but feel free to open it if needed.

Cinereach grantee Rebecca Richman Cohen released her latest film, Code of the West, on iTunes and other VOD platforms last week. In this guest post, she describes the rather harrowing process of opening her finished film back up to include new events in the lives of her subjects after the film's festival run, before making it available to digital audiences.
One of my mentors recently offered a chilling metaphor. He compared the process of re-editing a finished film to the act of necrophilia. It may sound comically extreme, but his point was that in the filmmaking world, there may be nothing more taboo than unlocking a 'finished' film and disassembling it at its seams. After having survived the ordeal, I am inclined to agree with his insight.
I write this post because I am reeling from the effects of having violated this powerful taboo with my own film. My team and I originally "finished" Code of the West in time for SXSW 2012, not anticipating that there would be any more major developments in the story. A few months after our premiere, two of our main characters were indicted on federal marijuana charges, and prohibited from using the defense that producing medical marijuana was legal in their home state of Montana. One of them faced a minimum mandatory sentence of more than 80 years in prison. We were determined to document the effects of this injustice on our protagonists and their families so we started filming again, launched a Kickstarter campaign, raised enough money to re-edit, and went back in to update the film.
Not only did we add a new ending, we also changed much of the narration, added a new scene in the middle, and generally rendered the film more compelling, more character-driven, and more relevant to national issues. Nonetheless, the process of diving back into the material was painful for many reasons.
First, we were documenting some of the darkest moments in our characters' lives. It was an emotionally taxing process to contemplate how most effectively to "represent" the suffering of others. This was true when we were editing the original version of the film, which included a dark scene of a DEA raid on our main character's medical marijuana growhouse (our main characters in handcuffs, federal officials in hazmat suits, and sirens blaring). But there was something even more challenging about filming our subjects again after they had seen the film and become involved in our outreach campaign. During the original edit, we never screened cuts for any of our subjects – but after the premiere, they had the opportunities to screen the film many times over and were now deeply invested in the update.
It also opened a Pandora's box into the creative process. It made me sensitive to the musings of critics and audience members – and it made me doubt my original instincts. Where before the film was a thing that simply existed in the world, now it was something over which I once again had control. Criticism wasn't just about something I had done. It was about something I was doing.
And finally, I had enormous anxiety that broadcasters wouldn't take the second version seriously – that the film's fate was sealed in our original version and that no one would see the new version.
Luckily, two remarkable editors guided the process. We brought on a new editor, Lindsay Utz, to structure the new version. Lindsay brought fresh eyes and a keen sense of possibility to the process. And Francisco Bello, the film's original editor, writer, and producer generously offered useful consultation on the edit. In the end, a process that was at times beset with anguish proved to be worthwhile. The Kickstarter campaign helped to build an engaged audience for the film leading up to its official release. And the new version is simply a more powerful story than its predecessor.
But the experience also left me with questions. Did we do enough? Should we have radically reassembled the film instead of simply revising the narration and adding new scenes? Which critics were right? Did we make it more or less marketable? These questions provoke anxiety at any stage in the creative process. It was unfortunate for us that we had to ask ourselves those questions upon not one – but two different releases.
Historically, it was impossible to re-edit a finished film. In order to create the final master print, filmmakers destroyed the original stock in the process – so "tinkering" after a première was not an option. Once a film was done, it was done. That's clearly no longer the case (as evidenced by the significant numbers of filmmakers who go back to the edit room after festival premieres) – so maybe it's no longer quite as taboo as it was once considered to be. And I imagine that there are many filmmakers in my place, who are telling stories about current events and who are involved in ongoing campaigns to make change happen around those stories. These filmmakers have even more reason to consider updating their films when there is a turn of events that changes the stakes.
That said, just because it is a technical possibility, and sometimes a narrative necessity, if you're considering this path yourself, this filmmaker urges you to proceed with caution, and not without first setting some boundaries for how much change is healthy to make.
Rebecca Richman Cohen is an Emmy Award nominated filmmaker and a lecturer on law at Harvard Law School. War Don Don, her first film, won the Special Jury Prize at the SXSW Film Festival and was nominated for two Emmy awards: Outstanding Continuing Coverage Of A News Story (Long Form) and Outstanding Editing. Rebecca has been adjunct faculty at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and American University's Human Rights Institute. She graduated from Brown University with a B.A. in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies and with a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School, where she now teaches two classes on law and film. In 2010 Rebecca was profiled in Filmmaker Magazine's 25 New Faces in Independent Film as an "up-and-comer poised to shape the next generation of independent film." She is a 2012-2013 Soros Justice Fellow.

In middle school all the guys called me a hairy ape-fag because my body was maturing faster than theirs (slowly growing facial hair, leg hair, and arm pit hair) Strangely enough the GIRLS defended me saying that its perfectly normal and that they're the fags. woot.


text: The Barony of Loch Soilleir Presents Squire's and Cadets Invitational Tournament December 1-3rd, 2000 To most of us the ideal of knighthood was sparked by heroes in our favorite books read in childhood, from Scott's Ivanhoe to Dumas' D'Artagnan. There is evidence that such an ideal existed even in the early part of the medieval period, and is certainly a strong part of our Society today. Squires and Cadets Invitational was a concept born of the desire so many of us have to travel that path and strive to meet that ideal. The purpose is to showcase those who are struggling to reach that level which says, not that you have finished the journey, but that you know the direction to travel. We hope that this Tournament will provide a place where those farther along the path can stop looking ahead for the pitfalls in their own way, and concentrate on looking back to those following behind. The entrants to the Tourney should be mindful that they must display all of the attributes and graces sought by those of their respective circles. To merely fight well is not enough by half, and now is the time to prove that you are more than a wielder of steel, but rather a person of depth. This is a Tournament with a long history as a series of tests. Tests of knowledge and skill, dexterity of limb and mind to challenge the entrant's application to the ideal they seek to display. That is still the case, however, this year the tests will be less obvious, blending in with the background of the Tournaments and activities of the day. There will be two chivalric and two rapier tournaments, along with opportunities to display your bardic abilities and skill in the arts and sciences, all of which will be judged as part of the quest for the championship. Also, the Barony of Loch Soilleir will be choosing its Archery and Equestrian champions. The site will be the MacHac Catfish Farm located at 24A Blumberg, Hempstead, TX. Site opens at 4:00pm on Friday and closes at 12:00pm on Sunday. Contact Baron Leofric Ealdricson for a copy of the event booklet with more details.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT/SUBMITTED) -- Tennessee freshman linebacker A.J. Johnson was named the SEC Freshman of the Week after posting 13 tackles against Alabama, the second-most by a true freshman in Tennessee history.
His 13 stops, which included a career-high 1.5 tackles for loss, rank second only to Eric Berry's 14-tackle effort at Kentucky (Nov. 24, 2007) and are the most by a Vol this season.
The Gainesville, Ga., native is first among SEC freshmen with 45 tackles, which is tied for the team lead with senior linebacker Austin Johnson.
His 45 stops through seven games already ranks as the fourth-most all-time by a UT true freshman, and he is the only true freshman currently leading an FBS team in tackles.
Johnson is Tennessee's first SEC Freshman of the Week since quarterback Tyler Bray earned his third such honor last season for his Nov. 27 performance at Kentucky. He's also the first UT defensive player to earn the honor since Janzen Jackson in 2009 (Nov. 2).

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

At least two children and a couple of adults suffered minor injuries in a two-car collision Thursday night near the Taco Bell restaurant on Telegraph Rd. in the City of Monroe.
None of the injuries was life- threatening, Monroe Police Lt. Clyde Breeding said Friday. The accident happened about 9 p.m. and forced the closing of all five lanes on Telegraph, he said.
" Several people went to the hospital, but it was more for precautionary reasons," Lt. Breeding said. " It looked worse than it turned out."
There was much debris on the road that had to be cleared before it could be reopened.

26 miles for 26 victims
HARTFORD — Dr. Laura Nowacki will be running the 26.2 miles of the Hartford Marathon on Saturday to honor the 26 children and educators who died last December at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Nowacki, a Newtown pediatrician, rushed to the school shortly after the shooting, as both a doctor and the mother of a fourth-grader there.

Knoxville (WVLT) - Reverend Falwell was his pastor, his mentor and his friend.
Randy Rebold is president of Knoxville based Primary Focus, and he was at Dr. Falwell's side when he created the Moral Majority as Falwell came into prominence in the late 1970s and early 80s.
Volunteer TV's Jim Freeman sat down with him earlier today and has more.
For as sad a day as it is for Randy Rebold and the millions of others who also loved Jerry Falwell, the day also brings happiness.
"And so though, I selfishly am sorry for the loss, I could not be happier for him individually, because he's where I ultimately want to be and that's in the presence of the Lord," Rebold said.
As a major part of Falwell's "I Love America" rallies, it was there where Randy was able to bond with the Reverend.
"So that gave me the opportunity to travel very closely with Dr. Falwell during that time, and that's really when our bond and friendship was secured during that time," Rebold said.
One time when one of those rallies went sour, Randy was center stage and a convenient target for Falwell's sense of humor.
"In closing, I'm going to ask my son, Randy, to come close in prayer. They can't get him, but they'll get me right? And as I'm praying, I look out of one eye and there he is, sneaking away in his car and I'm there with all these students throwing eggs. He was a character. He had a great sense of humor," Rebold said.
Randy says he cut his teeth at Falwell's church and university, and that's where he got his vision for his life's work, and his payback plan is already in motion.
"And that's the greatest tribute I can pay to him is to continue serving as he taught me to serve and to reach out and boost and help people and try to be a positive influence in our community," Rebold said.
Randy considers himself an extended family member and will be in Lynchburg, Virginia with the rest of Jerry Falwell's family over the next several days.

Bunny Glamazon
For many years I have received requests for images of Miss Bunny Glamazon riding me. She has been on my desired riders and owners list for years as well. Finally, the occasion came where we were at the same place and she perched herself on her human equine mount.
Because of a few constraints, the main one being time, there wasn't any video or very much riding. But there was a chance for a few photos of this most beautiful Amazon Goddess and woman resting on her horse.
Now for those that are not familiar with Miss Bunny, she is 6' 3" barefoot and I am told is into the mid 200s in weight at the time of these photos (although I would guess closer to the 220 she lists on her website). Mostly muscle, she is full of energy and is like the "energizer bunny" (wonder if that is where they came up with that name?) she just keeps going and going and going!
She is by far one of my most favorites ladies I have met and a MOST desired Owner! I am sure if and when there are trail rides as her horse, I will be wondering why I ever wanted to be a horse but I know I will also strive to ensure she gets the riding enjoyment she so deserves and desires.
She may or may not be interested in doing any more riding, photos or videos but with your support and encouragement I hope we can get her interests up there and her on her horse where she belongs! This will get to her so please do drop her a note to let her know if you would like to see more of her riding her horse trigger!

©2006 D.M. Cornish; (P)2007 Random House Inc. Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group
"A delightful, refreshing standout in a sea of cookie-cutter fantasy worlds." (School Library Journal)
"Foundling - an adventure tale"
This book is an amazing mixture of Treasure Island, Oliver Twist and Frankenstein, but it's much better than any of those. The Half Continent is a dangerous place and is populated with fascinating characters. Rosamund is a boy cursed with a girl's name, and his adventures as he travels from an orphanage to his first posting in the service of the Emperor will keep you on the edge of your seat. The foreshadowing is masterful. The audiobook is wonderful, I hear something new every time I listen. You really do need the print version as well. Have you ever read an illustrated book where the artist didn't bother to read the story? Well, that's not a problem here. This book started out as an art student's portfolio, and there is also an "Explicarium" to help you keep track of all the new words, people and places you will encounter.
"Really cool fantasy/adventure series"
It's short (compared to some of my favorites), but what it lacks in size it makes up for in content. The level of detail is perfect, the world and characters are believable, and the story is interesting and fun. This series is definitely targeted for readers younger than myself, but it's one of those that's written well enough to be enjoyed by all. (Examples of other books targeted for younger readers I've enjoyed include the Bartimaeus series, Lord of the Rings, Ender's Game, the Discworld books, the Wheel of Time series, etc.).
I solemnly swear that I am addicted to stories. Reading stories, watching stories, and hearing stories. They surround me. :-)
"D.M. Cornish....A New Star?"
This review is a long time in coming. I first purchased this audio book on a whim back in 2007. Probably close to the time it first came out. At that time I had no idea who D.M. Cornish was, and had very little idea of what the book was about. I certainly didn't expect the rich and wonderfully detailed world that I found within. Not that I can say I regret it in the least. :-)
The Monster Blood Tattoo trilogy/series (In the US: The Foundling's Tale), is a classic adventure in many ways. There is an Orphaned boy. He goes on an adventure. Mysterious things happen. His prior views of the world are brought into question. The character grows... But the texture and detail of the world that it takes place in takes a fairly basic (though enjoyable) tale and turns it into something much more. This story has stood the test of time with me. I do not listen to it constantly, but it is a story that I come back to again and again. The trilogy is over, but I cannot wait for this man to write another book.
As for this particular book in the series, it is a gentle start. It reads as though it was written with children in mind, but for kids that are able to stomach a bit of fighting here and there and even the occasional scary moment. Nothing too horribly graphic in this story, but if you have a sensitive or very young child I suggest listening to it once first.
The reader has a very pleasant voice. Not too deep, not to high and his accent adds an extra sense of mystique to the story.
In short, this is a fantastic series that should be on every fantasy and adventure lovers shelf. If you happen to be a child, that's fantastic and I hope your imagination adds even more depth to this already fabulous world, but if you are an adult don't let that scare you away. If you like fantastical tales, adventures, and stories where the main character goes on a quest to ultimately find themselves at the end of it, then this is a good story for you.
"Excellent Story for the Whole Family"
Good story for adults and 11 yrs old and up.
Perfect book for "family time" or on a road trips.
The feel after listening to it is the happy glow you have walking out of a movie theater watching a happy movie.
While this is a book that will suck you into the series, it ends a good place to feel it was complete.
NOTE:I do recommend using wireless Bluetooth speakers for listing to audio books instead of ear buds (connected to smart phone). Speakers are better for preventing hearing loss vs earbuds. And this is possibly the solution for a family listen to a audio book together.
"Harry Potter and Charles Dickens rolled into one!"
Very interesting story with great detail on this fantasy world. Reminds me of Harry Potter and Charles Dickens with a little Master and Commander thrown in!
The narrater is AWESOME! I thought they had gotten a cast of actors to do this book when I first started listening; but then I realized that this narrater was actually doing all the different characters himself! Humphrey Bower has this wonderful British accent and presents an amazing range of different accents throughout the book. He really makes the story come alive. Would love to read more books with this narrator, hope Audible will offer more books with Humphrey Bower as narrator.
Hardcore audiobook nerd.
"There aren't enough stars for this trilogy"
DM Cornish has created a world so immersive and detailed that all you want is more. He has created his own slang and introduces it throughout each of the three books so expertly. To top of the BRILLIANCE of his story, Humphrey Bower truly gives us one of the most stellar performances that I have ever heard. You will fall in love with Rossamund and all of the other characters that DM Cornish and Humphrey Bower make come alive.
"Who Knew!"
I'm not a fantasy person and this book took me awhile to get into it. No, it is not real, but the story is captivating. The little foundling raised in an orphanage (It's my term, not theirs). What an adventure. I was very captivated and got the next 2 books. OK, I'm in love with the narrator, Humphrey Bower. He can make eating crackers sound exciting. You will not be disappointed.
"I wasn't really expecting a pre-teen book"
Perhaps I would have enjoyed this book when I was 12 or so. This is a story of a teenager's adventure in a land full of monsters. He ventures out alone heading to a far away city where he will train for his first job. Along the encounters pirates, monsters, and a surgericly altered woman who fights monsters.
"Boy's Adventure Tale on Steriods"
This book combines elements of Treasure Island, Oliver Twist and Frankenstein. A boy cursed with a girl's name, Rosamund has had a difficult life in the orphanage. It was made bearable by three adult staff members who have taken care of him since the day he was left on the doorstep. He longs for a life at sea, like his hero Master Fransitart, but instead is selected to become an apprentice lamplighter. Foundling tells the story of his travels through an amazing world called the Half Continent, and the many terrifying, bizarre and interesting people he meets along the way. D.M. Cornish has invented whole new languages that sound really familiar. One of my favorite things about this book is the masterful foreshadowing. All the clues are there, if only you pay attention.
Rosamund meets a glammergorn, a small monster, called Freckle, who seems to know all about Rosamund. They have a long conversation, but Rosamund ends up with more questions than answers.
Rosamund meets Mr. Fouracres, a postman. Fouracres is the first person Rosamund has ever met who not only has conversations with monsters, but admits to having them as friends.
Foundling - A Tale of the Half Continent
Humphrey Bower does an amazing job narrating this story. He has to create a wide variety of voices for non-humans.
"A lot like Harry Potter"
Since it has been a long time since Harry Potter it was fun to experience this story. And Humphrey Bower is fantastic!

By the Grace of God, while I was watching the radar (while DD was is some basement of a library) the red/orange/magenta colors of the radar all parted to green around all 4 colleges. It hit above, below within miles but saved all the colleges from direct hits by the tornadoes surrounding them. A nice B-Day present for DD tomorrow.
I saw a picture a while ago with a wrought iron table with its legs stuck into the side of the building.

This year, you've probably got more than one person on your list that's making an effort to go green. Why not get them a few gifts in support of their resolution?
When shopping for eco friendly gifts, keep in mind that these could be several different things.
It could be an item made from recycled or organic goods, or it could be something made locally as it didn't use gas to get to the store and it will positively affect the local economy, and finally, you could purchase items to help the person be more eco-friendly, such as gardening tools or a compost bin. Items purchased from secondhand stores are also eco-friendly, because a new product wasn't produced.
Items made from recycled or organic goods might include soy candles, stationary sets made from recycled paper or plant-able seed paper, recycled platters for food and entertaining, organic bedding, or natural wood bowls for the kitchen or for decorating.
Locally made goods to consider would be a painting or a photograph from a local artist, handmade jewelry, or even a service from a small business (a manicure from an independent technician).
Products that will help the person in their eco-friendly endeavors include a bicycle, composting pail, gardening kits and seeds, a solar tea lantern, reusable grocery bags, a bird feeder, or energy saving plugs and adapters.
Other gift ideas include bath towels or a bathrobe made from organic cotton, recycled glass products such as wine glasses or vases, you could even purchase a cloth diaper starter kit for the eco-friendly mother on your list.
Make these eco-friendly gifts extra personal by walking or riding your bike to purchase them. Of course, make sure to wrap them in recycled paper or reuse the comics section of your local newspaper. The green guru in your life will appreciate your extra efforts.

Shadow Woman (edition 2013)
by Linda Howard
Work details
Shadow Woman by Linda Howard
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A fast-paced, suspenseful plot. Keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
Character development is a little weak. We have Lizette Henry who pretty much lives a predictable life. For the past three years she's never done anything out of character until she's forced to call in sick. Even when we find out who Lizzy is, we aren't given much information regarding her past. I wanted a little more to fully understand her. Despite this, she's a likeable character and you care about her fate. Then we have Xavier, he's a bit of mystery, but it's pretty easy to understand what type of man he is. He's one who takes his job to protect very seriously. We have several secondary characters that are important including a neighbor of Lizzy's who may or may not be working on behalf of Xavier.
Narration is third person and a quick note on it: there's hardly any conversation between the characters for a good chunk of the book. At times, it was boring and you can't skip or skim any of the text because if you do, you'll easily miss a vital fact. I understand why Howard did this because otherwise there is no suspense or mystery to uncovering Lizzy's past and as readers we are on the journey to find out alongside Lizzy. I give Howard props for setting things up this way; however, it falls short because as I mentioned it can get boring at times. And as for the actual conversation, when it's held, not many clues are given and we have to keep on reading to find out what is going on.
I debated with the rating between a two and three and in the end, decided on a two because while there's nothing with the writing (it's solid and Howard doesn't leave anything unanswered), my problem with the book is that for about 75% of the novel, it's all narrative with very few conversations taking place among the characters. By the time we get answers as to why Lizzie is a central target, I pretty much stopped caring. In fact, it was painful to finish the final pages because of this. Furthermore, it's difficult to believe someone's entire memory could be wiped out without anticipating the consequences.
Overall, Linda Howard's SHADOW WOMAN was a miss for me and I'm not sure if I'm willing to try her backlist. If you're a fan of Howard's books, you might want to skip this one.

Being Thankful
Hey everyone!
I'm writing this from my hotel bedroom in Melbourne ,Florida, as the sound of the waves crash against the shoreline through my balcony window…and I feel blessed to be alive, to have this job and to have great people in my life! I think when considering your great holiday of Thanksgiving the other day (in between the second and third football games!) it really dawned on me how important it is to step back sometimes and just realize how much we have to be thankful for.
And, I guess, this year has been one that I should give thanks for the most. Now my website has finally accompanied my debut album, I can sort of sit back and enjoy all your comments and reviews on my music and everything associated with it. I've said it so many times, but my main ambition with this album was to let people know who I was as a songwriter, what I felt important in songs and how certain subjects as we live our lives, can be dealt with in song. And for those comments I have received back, both from you personally, or through reviews on CDbaby.com, Itunes, or on the social networking sites, I am truly thankful and humbled. You have justified me taking this chance, letting you take a glimpse inside my world I suppose – but then you're my friends – how could I not?!
With regards to the website (www.ryankellymusic.com), I really hope you are enjoying it. Of course, it is always a work in progress, so if you've anything you'd like to see, or are having problems with, just drop me a line and we'll try our best to rectify it. We have just added lots of new items to the merchandise store (www.zazzle.com/ryankellymusic*), a lot of these were based on your requests – so I'm hoping along with all those copies of "In Time" you'll be buying your friends and family for Christmas, you'll find something else in there as well! ; )
Of course I couldn't finish off without mentioning the news that broke yesterday about Paul leaving Celtic Thunder at the end of the tour. On a professional level, I am very sorry to see such an amazing performer leave our production. And I feel very lucky to have worked with him over the past three years. But, more importantly I guess, I'll miss all his banter and craic as we've become such good friends since the first time in the studio when I heard him sing his part for "That's A Woman" and I nearly turned and ran back to ask for my job back as an accountant! However, I'm totally excited for his solo career prospects and have no doubts this is just the start of a very successful chapter in his life.
So, I'll bid you all farewell for now as our bus rolls on to Charlotte. The Christmas portion of the show has added a great new dimension and I'm looking forward to seeing some of your familiar faces at the last number of shows before we leave this great country again for another while! Remember to sing along with us! That's what Christmas is all about!!
Take care,
