Community Blog: His Infidelity, Her Realization
After three years together, we married a week before Christmas, 1999. As we neared our fifth wedding anniversary, we were finally coming down from the past year's major events: adopting a four-year-old boy and buying a too-big, too-expensive home in a suburb of Los Angeles. My husband and I hung stockings in a living room where the fireplace was our biggest piece of "furniture," besides the Christmas tree. Even the softest sounds were loud as they rebounded from the high ceiling to the glass doors and off the Spanish tile.
I was enjoying a quiet night in, with my son nestled in bed and my husband out with friends, when I happened upon a love letter signed with kisses. Beneath that there were 30 more. They weren't even hidden, just scattered throughout a pile of my husband's work papers that I'd meant to straighten, not dissect. I knew her by the end of these missives, and I held her mostly blameless. He was 36 years old, she was 22; he worked in management, she was an assistant; he wooed her with jewelry and clothing, she responded with provocative pictures; he promised her travel and adventure, she guaranteed rumpled sheets and room service. An old story with new names was suddenly a painful reality for me. It dawned on me that it wasn't his friends whom he'd been seeing more and more of recently while I'd been struggling through my early months of motherhood. I sat down and wrote him a letter about everything I now knew.
My husband came in at some unknown point that night, long after I'd cried myself to sleep on the couch. In the morning, the letter I'd written and placed in an envelope lay on the table, still sealed, and I realized that he was in our room sleeping peacefully, unknowingly. I mechanically made breakfast and took care of my son until my husband finally shuffled into the kitchen with a cheery "good morning." He saw the letter then, as I handed him his coffee, and I gestured for him to go read it in the bedroom.
I agonized for the twenty minutes that he was in the bedroom, probably fifteen minutes longer than it had taken him to read the letter, and I was tortured wondering how we would ever work through this. But he saved me the future torments of suspicion and distrust when he came back out, dressed, with a small bag of clothes. I was shocked, and unable to open a conversation at that moment within my son's hearing. My husband looked at me sadly, shook his head, and he walked out the door. All of those years ended without even a conversation, with a click of the brass bolt and its echo throughout our cavernous, unadorned abode.
Then the innocent sounds of morning cartoons pierced my heart. I began to shake uncontrollably. How could I, a flailing, insecure new mother, tell this amazing little boy that after four foster homes and then finally finding his "forever family," the only dad he'd ever known had left? What should have been this little angel's most glorious Christmas ever was three terrifying weeks away.

Does it make a huge difference when using crème fraîche instead of regular sour cream?
I always like to add some dijon in with the broth while its simmering
Creme fraiche is a soured cream having approximately 28% butterfat and with a pH value of about 4.5. A good substitute for 1 cup of creme fraiche is 1 cup of sour cream mixed with whipping cream in equal proportions, or 1 cup whipping cream added 3 tablespoons of buttermilk, covered and let to stand 12 hours.

Was Kes Ever 100% This Year?
Posted 23 April 2012 - 04:35 PM
It seem like if he's not playing well, people will use Kesler's injury as an excuse.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 04:35 PM
Posted 23 April 2012 - 05:38 PM
1. I saw him passing a lot in this series and not taking the puck himself except when necessary.
2. This is stupid. The goal that won us game 3, who was screening Quick on that shot? That's right, Kesler. Like I said, even if he's not scoring he does everything else on the ice and he does it better than anyone else on the team.
3. I saw one embellishment after the Kings embellished, so I wasn't mad at that at all.
4. Kesler is our best forward in the defensive zone and was in this series too, I don't know what you're watching. He always backchecks hard and with speed.
Without Kesler the Canucks lose any dynamism the team has (which isn't a lot to begin with). You're all crazy, honestly.
Ok, i'll bite.
1) I saw the passing different than you, and not enough time in my day to play by play each game video.
2) We didn't win game 3, I assume you mean game 4. And, you must be talking about the slapper from Edler. Yes, he was screening, and that certainly made the goal possible, but he was also -1 for the night. BTW, that was the tying goal, not the winning goal. He was not on the ice for the winning goal, for that goal, on ice was 7, 22, 33, 23, 3
3) One embellishment? That whole "shaft of the stick in the face" while going by Quick was awful. It set the tone for the refs, and probably cost us calls in that game.
4) Yes, he kills penalties fearlessly. But we didn't lose because too many goals went in, we lost because of a lack of offence.
Once again, I repeat, I am not advocating his trade, but the first reply was to the Captaincy and the adjectives used to describe him.
Heres hoping we actually see "beast mode" next year.

NTC starts next season so now is the time to shop him around and listen to some offers.
See, I think this is the wrong approach. Get him someone to play with, specifically a right winger. I see promise in Booth with the Sedins, Burrows with Kes, but they either need a right winger OR a natural two way center. No, Hodgson probably wasn't the answer, but maybe a guy like Nik Antropov, Brooks Laich, or Paul Gaustad
BTW, Semin is UFA, might not be a bad fit.

WMFO's Joyce The Voice hosted a big name in the classical scene on her show, The Voicemobile - Martin Pearlman, three-time Grammy nominee and the director of Boston Baroque. He has been conducting since the orchestra's debut in 1973 as the first baroque orchestra in the US, and they are celebrating their 40th anniversary this season. With the original idea of being an orchestra exclusively made up of period instruments, it has seen massive success and many of its founding members have gone on to direct other ensembles.
Seeing Portland artists Typhoon and Radiation City a few weeks ago was a great experience, so I figured I would keep the theme going by seeing two more bands from area. On Friday, I was lucky to see Portland-based Menomena and The Helio Sequence perform at The Sinclair in Cambridge. It was an excellent night of energetic, experimental indie rock that left me hoping to see them again live soon.
As a co-headlining tour, Menomena and The Helio Sequence have been switching off set spots. In Friday's case, Menomena went first, opening their set with a quiet introduction with "Ghostship". Its plodding baseline and drummer Danny Seim's haunting background whistling (a nice touch from the recorded version) made it a good way to kick off the night. Transitioning directly into another song, or "West" perhaps (which follows on the album), would have been even better.
The genre of blues rock is too often filled with rote twelve bar jams or swaggering cock rock. Savoy Brown's Raw Sienna is not your typical blues rock album – and, because of this, stands out like an enthusiastic thumbs up. Raw Sienna is filled to the brim with slinky piano riffs, jazzy guitar solos, punchy brass hooks, and even Classical-inspired string breaks ("Master Hare"). What distinguishes Savoy Brown on this album, however, is the chocolate voice of singer Chris Youlden, whether he is moaning in desperation on the opener "A Hard Way To Go," or seducing his would-be lover on "Stay While The Night Is Young."
Seattle hip-hop duo THEESatisfaction has been slowly rising in popularity over the last few years. The duo made guest appearances on fellow label mates Shabazz Palaces' album Black Up and have been contributing steadily to a new era of Northwest hip-hop. Recognizable by their spacey off-balance beats and quick, stream-of-consciousness rapping, THEESatisfaction has an incredibly unique sound.

My Sunday was highlighted by the visit of the bands Typhoon and Radiation City to Brighton Music Hall. Being two Portland-area bands that I've been following for some time, it was a show I made sure to catch. And the night certainly didn't disappoint!
At a freeform radio station like WMFO, we support all sorts of creative endeavors – large, small, and in-between. However, some stand out. Some people and organizations make headway in the creative world at astounding rates and experience astounding growth because of it. They're cropping up more and more often of late, these meteoric rises, with companies like Netflix expanding their brand to include their own TV shows, indie bands like Young the Giant going from a Facebook page of 3000 likes and a few free songs floating around the internet to almost half a million likes on Facebook and an endlessly full tour schedule, and devices like the Kindle and iPhone making it easier to be a content creator than possibly ever before.
This ease of spread, however, comes with some pitfalls. More and more people are creating things, so competition to actually succeed is stiff and it can seem like many people are out of the running before they even begin. When there's so much talent out there, we tend to devalue our own, even though the people who make the media that we are constantly inundated by had to start somewhere. With that in mind, what is it like to make something wildly successful from scratch, after all?
"Great," according to Joseph Gordon-Levitt. "It feels great."

Welcome, Tufts 2017!
X Ambassadors may not be that well-known a band – yet – but they sure are a lively one to see in concert, especially at a small venue like Brighton Music Hall. With Sam Harris, a frontman who goes wild not only for the crowd, but with the crowd, they're an enthusiastic bunch who seem happy to be on stage and have a polished sound for a band that's officially only a couple years old. Unconsolable, their first single about growing up in Ithaca, NY, was clean and wonderfully performed; I walked out humming it under my breath. (more…)

Who's on the Ballot? Public Affairs Professor Ester Fuchs Develops New Voter Education Website
Who's on the Ballot, a new website that explains just that, was born out of a friendly conversation between SIPA Professor Ester Fuchs and her former student, William von Mueffling (CC'90, BUS'95). "William was complaining about the lack of information on the candidates, and I told him, 'That's ridiculous. Just look on the Web,'" said Fuchs. "But I quickly realized it's not that easy."
Ester Fuchs |
In order to find out who would be on her ballot, Fuchs had to visit several city and state websites—even more if she wanted information on the candidates. So von Mueffling, president and chief investment officer of Cantillon Capital Management, issued Fuchs a challenge—if she was willing to cull data from these disparate sites and present everything informed New York City voters needed to know in a user-friendly format, he would fund the project.
"I couldn't pass this up," said Fuchs, a professor of international and political science. "This is, after all, Columbia University in the City of New York, and I knew the site would be invaluable to residents of New York City."
Over the last year, Fuchs has worked closely with the New York City Board of Elections, which mails sample ballots a few weeks before the election, and her project manager, Chris Santulli (SIPA'12). Now prospective voters who visit Who's on the Ballot (whosontheballot.org) and submit their address will be provided with their polling place, the next election date, who is running for office at every level of government and links to candidates' campaign websites and social media pages. Users can also set up reminders to vote and download a mobile app. The nonpartisan website, which is available in English, Spanish and Chinese, does not record any of its users' personal information.
Voter turnout has been steadily declining over the past 40 years, according to Fuchs. In 2009, just 28 percent of registered voters in New York City voted in the mayoral election. "If you give people easy access to this kind of information, it increases the likelihood they'll go out and vote," said Fuchs. "The basic premise of this site is 'let's make it easy.'"
Spreading the word about this resource is the next step. For this, Fuchs has built an advisory board that is comprised of leaders in nonprofit organizations, businesses and city agencies. Each group, including the New York City Campaign Finance Board, Citizens Union, the Partnership for New York City, the Immigration Coalition and the Urban League, is sharing the website with their own constituencies. Columbia political scientists Dorian Warren and Robert Shapiro, as well as Kathryn Yatrakis, dean of academic affairs for Arts and Sciences, are also helping with outreach. Fuchs is partnering with the City on a "Your Vote Counts" advertising campaign.
Fuchs plans to use Who's on the Ballot in New York as a roadmap for comparable projects in other cities. "This project has broad implications because it was started in New York. If we can do it here, this can be done anywhere," said Fuchs. "Voting is the most important participatory activity in a democracy."

Ok, I have a room built with all kinds of crap in it. I have a skybox which makes the main room look like it's outside at night. My problem is when you shoot the walls in the main room you see the explosion, ricochet or whatever on the wall where there is not supposed to be a wall since it is a star field. Is there a way to make the walls in the main room not react to gunshots and stuff so any stray shots appear to fly off into space instead of exploding on the stars? Thanx.

yeah, but it's a bit messed up. Online on a server the rockets hit the sky still, and some other weapons do it too.

Some things you can always count on.
The lure of filthy lucre on the campaign trail.
Now that we've crested the mountaintop, let's have some politically incorrect dreams.
A hidden weapon in our fight against recession.
O Captain, not my Captain.
It ain't no nursery rhyme.
Political opinionators have a lot of explaining to do about their poor
prognostication in New Hampshire.
If Hillary wants Americans to like her, she should start doing the things Americans like.

Wasn't this solved in Galaga?
The Reason Slashdot Posted (202 comments)
We're all missing why this was posted to slashdot. I too was outraged by the numbers and finally realized that this post was about the *RESPONSE* to the Wall Street article, not the article itself. I'll bet not one of us has read the response at http://mashable.com/2010/01/13/app-store-piracy/ . Let's do that before hanging someone.
Retaliation? (591 comments)
Break out the tin foil, but is there any chance that this could be retaliation for being involved in the "anti-cap" campaign?
Agreed (242 comments)
Short of the totally stupid name, it sounded like it might be a good place

I'm excited about this week's Rants Without Pants, because not only do I discuss WI Rep Sean Duffy and the Bring Jobs Home Act, I also introduced a new segment called "Fly Up/Fly Down" where I recount national and WI news stories and give it a Fly Up (which is good) or a Fly Down (which is bad).
Things discussed in the Fly Up/Fly Down segment:
WI Judge David Flanigan's Voter ID ruling
Target greeting cards
Milwaukee Taco Bell
Romney not releasing his taxes
WI Awful Job Numbers for June
Ron Johnson's lust for China
Herb Kohl's laziness
Olympic Committee's decision to make the uniforms in China.
Here it is on my blog: http://shabhead.blogspot.com/2012/07/ra ... -sean.html

Das Craft-Bier Buch in the December 14 issue of Welt am Sonntag.
The current issue of IL – Intelligence in Lifestyle features infographic spreads developed collaboratively between IL art director Francesco Franchi and the participants of Franchi's "Infographic Thinking" workshop in July at Gestalten Space.
The feature, "America in Africa: guardia e ladri" ("America in Africa: cops and robbers"), details the United States' military presence in Africa, and was the primary hands-on example at Franchi's "Infographic Thinking" workshop at Gestalten Space on July 2nd and 3rd.
Over the two-day workshop, Franchi gave insight into how graphic editors filter information, establish relationships, discern patterns, and develop inspiring and stimulating solutions to contextualize information that simultaneously inspire, inform, entertain and even encourage critical thought.
Francesco Franchi is an editorial and information designer, and since 2008, the art director for IL – Intelligence in Lifestyle, the monthly news magazine of Il Sole 24 ORE, one of Italy's top financial newspapers. Before IL, he worked as senior designer at Leftloft, a Milan-based design studio developing communication design and infographics for editorial projects.
Embracing new languages in journalism, Franchi is a true master of combining representation and interpretation, creating a visual form that is as graphic as it is narrative, as entertaining as it is informative. His work has been awarded on numerous occasions, including the European Design Awards and at the renowned Malofiej conference.
His work is profiled in Visual Storytelling, Data Flow 2, and Turning Pages.
If you are interested in a follow-up workshop with Francesco Franchi or in any other upcoming workshops, please drop us a line with your contact details at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Crash not down to driver error - Maldonado
Pastor Maldonado's crash scuppered Lotus' hopes of getting both drivers to Q3 Getty Images Enlarge Pastor Maldonado insists he is blameless for the crash which saw his hopes of a chance of a top-ten grid position go up in smoke. Maldonado entered qualifying in high hopes after Lotus demonstrated a step forward in Friday and Saturday's practice sessions, which would later see Romain Grosjean earn fifth on the grid.. But in the opening stages of Q1 Maldonado's session ended in the wall, as he lost the car coming out of Turn 3, an unusual place to spin the car. Though not sure exactly what the issue was Maldonado is convinced an issue with the tyres was the likely culprit. "We have been...

This is the most expensive shampoo i have ever bought and i'm very disappointed. My hair texture hasn't really improved with this from using regular drug store shampoo and this also makes my scalp very itchy, dry. it's so pricey so i try to use it up here and there but whenver i use it, the next morning my hair will become very unmanageable and the hair at the front will all stand up. And the cap that completely comes off is very inconvient to use when your hands are wet and after you pour the shampoo you need to struggle to screw it back.........

Soooo, i adore this shampoo, i even more adored bain satin 3 but they discontinued it. . . .mehh what ya gunna do! anyway this is a great replacement for bain satin 3, its extremely moisturizing, leaves the hair feeling clean, soft yet nourished, it's a great shampoo! although i probably wouldn't recommend you use this longer then a month ( i like to rotate between a few of the bain's) as your hair may get used to this and stop working too it's fullest. I like this much more then bain satin 2 as i find it doesn't strip my color where as bs2 did, and being a platinum blonde i cannot be dealing with early color fade! apart from keeping the color this is basically just a more moisturizing version of bain satin 2.

I just love this shampoo! It's one of my holy grails. When I used it the first times I could not believe how silky and straight my hair was, especially without any conditioner.
When I go swimming this is always the shampoo that will fight the bad chlorine (then together with the nectar thermique for blow drying). Its also the shampoo I'm grabbing on a bad hair day- I simply can rely on it.
The only thing I dislike a little is the scent- its like herbal meet grandmas perfume. I'd much more appreaciate if Kerastase changes the smell (maybe into something nice and warm, like vanilla or coconut- however, anything but change the smell!).
I have many shampoos and many of them are good, but this one must be available at home, otherwise I don't feel comfortable. Definitely a rebuy!

This shampoo was okay. I have had better. Overall it made me feel stupid for paying the price for what is just an average shampoo. It smelled great and had a great texture to it. The consistency was thick and lathered very well. I would repurchase if I saw it on sale.

This shampoo makes your hair very shinny when you apply heat and seems to protect well. However when air drying my hair did not feel moisturised and was slightly frizzy. My hair is slightly dry and damaged and for the price I would not re-buy.

This is the best shampoo I've ever used (I'm probably on my 5th bottle by now) and I have tried more or less all of kerastase's shampoos as well as a lot of other high level brands. Seriously, this shampoo manages to really clean while at the same moisturise (most shampoos are eiter too drying or too heavy for my hair), facilitates heat styling (I have naturally wawy hair that I always blow dry straight) and at the sime time gives the hair volume, without making it fluffy/frizzy. If you have my type of hair (wavy, highlighted, long, dry, fine strands but a lot of it) you must try it! I use it together with the mask nutri-thermique or mascintense 3 (for thick hair - the one for fine hair makes my hair dry and frizzy).

Kerastase discontinued my favorite masque, Nutridefense. So my stylist recommended I try the Fondant Nutri-Thermique and this shampoo since it goes with it. I like it just as much if not a little more than my HG Shampoo, Bain Satin 2. It is very gentle but does remove product while moisturizing without weighing down and doesn't leave hair tangled. LOVE IT!

I use this shampoo for 3 months, and i must say this is a MUST for my curly hair.
It makes the hair very soft and bright!
I also like the smell and the creamy texture.
I use it 2-3 times on week and my hair looks amazing!

The goods: Espanola Way isn't exactly where one would expect to find a quiet neighborhood spot, but Fiamma Gastronomia is just such a place. The owner, Claudio Console, hails from Bari, Italy, and worked in furniture design before opening this casual trattoria. The Italian vibe is strong, from the soccer matches on the flat screen to the accents emanating from the semi-open kitchen.
Ambience: The place feels like the crisp, modern café of an art museum. A handful of whitewashed tables and chairs fill the space, and shelves of imported pasta, olive oil and sauces (all for sale) line the walls. A small bar is perfect for sipping an espresso before heading back to the beach.
The grub: Regional Italian. The menu is extensive and most of it is familiar – eggplant parm, chicken Milanese – but some standouts merit repeat visits. Prices are surprisingly low for South Beach – most pastas are $9, while fish and chicken dishes don't top $13. For now there is no wine or liquor but you are welcome to bring your own – another affordable touch.
Start off with pear and Gorgonzola salad or a platter of antipasti piled with prosciutto and mortadella. The pesto is made in-house and tops imported pasta like fusilli, penne and orecchiette. The Octopus alla Luciana bathes the seafood in a stew of tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. Other fish dishes include a lightly breaded snapper Impanato and a mahi mahi alla Mugnaia, sautéed with lemon and butter. Desserts include tiramisu, chocolate soufflé and Torta della Nonna, a Tuscan cheese cake.
The verdict: Reliable, traditional Italian cooking in a casual South Beach space.

The Enchanted Cave 2
Delve into a strange cave with a seemingly endless supply of treasure, strategically choos
4.31 / 5.00 28,162 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
3.99 / 5.00 7,704 ViewsYou are a farmer.Your main task is not to give pests eat all plants that grow in your garden.
First attack slow-moving beetles are easily killed, and then move quickly to the caterpillar and finally a slow but strong to poison snail. If you kill the pest, you are credited points if the pest eats the plant, then the points are reduced.
Like easy game so fun ! (And Good Sound.)
Thank you!
That's what I wanted to convey...
Мне нравится, и не так уж и легко как кажется!
It's a game alright! Though... not quite hard of a game.
Simply put, this game should me named "walk forwards and backwards while mashing space". Really, following such 'tactic' puts you through the whole game without a sweat - my first death was only on level 12/XII.
The graphics are OK at best: the cursor is Stencyl's stock and is quite small; the plants are detailed enough (even if repeated, I wouldn't expect them not to be); the final score styling isn't congruent with the rest of the styling and the same can be said on the 'Controls' page; and the 'Level Select' buttons have no shine to 'em.
There is also a slight bug, when the enemies spawn from the left, they already start with some initial space run but enemies from the right seem to spawn from their center.
I'm nitpicking now, but using a coin to represent the score is conceptually weird - I earn my score by killing bugs? Why not (Plants saved - Plants lost), maybe not on a totally linear scaling? Or, to workaround spamming the space bar, have each shot cost some of your points, as 1 kill = 4 shots or something like that.
The author comments explain too much the game, try writing some flavor text instead of describing ALL the enemies in the game.
Room for improvement, I'll give it 1.5 stars - enough to pass the first 150, but not enough to pass the final 1.6 at 200.
Good luck!
Thank you! :)
I expected a tower defense, but it's a decent game. With this I don't care one way or another if it is saved.

Take one grad student who wants to finish degree before having kids. Add in infertility and IVF. Suddenly, I'm 35 with my first - who decides she wants to nurse until 3.5 - meaning holding off on more ART until then. And - here I am |
If I were a quiverfull, I'd have no children at all. I'm having children late in life because it took me that long to decide that taking fertility drugs to get pregnant was ok -- both times! I kept hoping diet, herbs, weight loss, etc would allow me to concieve, but my PCOS had other plans. We got married almost 12 years ago, and never used birth control, but it took quite a bit of medication to get me ovulating. I conceived ds on fertility injections, and this time we had to resort to IVF, which I never thought I'd do but my desire for another baby was too strong. I didn't even think we had all that great chances (at my age the statistic is 20% with your own eggs), but it did work. I consider it a miracle even though lots of medications and treatments were involved, just because the stats were so against me.

As the title suggests, I'm working on a site written in python and it makes several calls to the urllib2 module to read websites. I then parse them with BeautifulSoup.
As I have to read 5-10 sites, the page takes a while to load.
I'm just wondering if there's a way to read the sites all at once? Or anytricks to make it faster, like should I close the urllib2.urlopen after each read, or keep it open?
Added: also, if I were to just switch over to php, would that be faster for fetching and Parsi g HTML and XML files from other sites? I just want it to load faster, as opposed to the ~20 seconds it currently takes

Wes Moore's The Work, his latest book after the haunting and fascinating The Other Wes Moore, focuses on finding purpose in life and work. Our reviewer writes, "These stories underscore Moore's point that the meaning of life is clearer when we are willing to serve others, whether as an inner-city principal or a social entrepreneur. The Work will resonate with people seeking their own purpose in life." (Read the review here.)
We were curious about the books Moore has enjoyed reading lately, so we asked him to recommend three favorites, which he graciously agreed to share.
This is a wonderfully compelling book about the subtle, yet life-altering changes our choices and circumstances make.
I love the constant battle between proving a model while always challenging it. The work we do with BridgeEdU and reinventing the freshman year of college takes a lot of lessons from this book.
This book had me from the beginning with the Confucius quote: "A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it, is committing another mistake." Enough said.
Thank you, Wes! See anything you'd like to pick up, readers?

Paula McLain's The Paris Wife was one of the standouts among the crop of books starring the wives of famous men, a trend that launched with Nancy Horan's 2007 bestseller Loving Frank. On July 7, McLain's third novel will be published by Ballantine—but this time, she's taking on the life of a woman who can stand on her own: aviator Beryl Markham.
Markham was the first woman to complete a solo flight across the Atlantic, a feat she chronicled in her 1942 memoir West with the Night. According to early reports, McLain will also delve into Markham's rivalry with Out of Africa author Karen Blixen.
Any Paris Wife fans looking forward to this one?

Cathy Barrow encourages healthy, local eating for all seasons with her easy recipes for DIY preserving in her newest cookbook, Mrs. Wheelbarrow's Practical Pantry: Recipes and Techniques for Year-Round Preserving. This quick and no-fuss recipe for Fennel, Orange, and Olive Refrigerator Pickles is a great place for the uninitiated to dive into the world of canning.
Fennel, Orange, and Olive Refrigerator Pickles
makes: one 24-ounce jar
active time: 20 minutes
standing time: 2 days
This piquant pickle was inspired by a plate of olives, caper berries and bitter oranges served with sherry at an outdoor cafe in Seville. A wide-mouth jar will make this job a little easier. So will long tweezers or a chopstick, if you want to get fancy.
Serve with salty Marcona almonds.
1. Trim the stalks from the fennel and peel away the tough outer sections of the bulb. (Put these parts in a bag in the freezer to make vegetable broth or add to a batch of chicken stock.) Remove about ½ inch of the root end of each fennel bulb, then slice vertically down the center. Set the fennel cut side down on the cutting board and slice wedges from the bulbs.
2. Wash the orange well. Slice into slim 1⁄4-inch rounds, rind and all. Remove any seeds. Cut the slices into half-moons. Press the oranges against the inside of the jar, then fit the fennel wedges into the center of the jar, adding a few olives here and there as you go.
3. In a small saucepan, warm the vinegar, salt, sugar and tarragon, stirring just until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Add the ice cubes and stir until cool.
4. Pour the cooled brine into the jar. Cover and place in a cool, dark spot for 2 days.
5. Chill the pickles before serving. They will keep for up to a month in the refrigerator.
If you need any proof that books aren't dead, just look to the children's and young adult industry, which continues to grow and dominate bestseller charts for adults and young readers alike.
To celebrate this "golden age" of children's and YA books, Time Magazine has compiled a list of all-time classics, both old and new. The children's list includes favorites such as The Giving Tree and Make Way for Ducklings, and my own personal favorite, Miss Rumphius. Check out the full list of 100 here, and vote for your favorite.
The young adult list is a little . . . let's say confusing, and we're not the only ones who feel this way. Books like Wonder—which is middle grade, not young adult—share space with A Monster Calls, and it's almost unfathomable to see Twilight and To Kill a Mockingbird on the same list. See the full 100 here.
Then there's the question of diversity: The children's list features eight authors of color; the YA list features only seven. Whatever happened to #WeNeedDiverseBooks?
Readers, what do you think?
One Step Too Far by Tina Seskis
Morrow • $25.99 • ISBN 9781616954765
on sale January 27, 2015
pre-order: BAM | B & N | Indiebound | Amazon
Right off the bat, this debut from British writer Seskis displays impressive control and pacing. Hints are doled out at just the right time, with Seskis' excellent prose keeping her reader's attention.
Emily has run away from her husband and children and started a new life as "Cat." But Seskis isn't so careless as to allow the reader to pass judgement on this abandonment; rather, she jumps back and forth in Emily/Cat's story, as well as in the story of her parents', to reveal what's really going on. One of the first elements of the mystery that readers learn is that Emily/Cat has (had?) a twin, named Caroline, who was wholly unexpected to her pregnant mother:
The doctor tried again. "Congratulations, Mrs. Brown, you're soon to be the mother of twins. You have a second baby to deliver."
"What d'you mean?" she'd screamed. "I've had my bloody baby."
Now she lay there in shock and all she could think was that she didn't want two babies, she only wanted one, she only had one crib, one pram, one set of baby clothes, one life prepared.
Frances was a planner by nature. She didn't like surprises, certainly not ones this momentous, and apart from anything else she felt far too exhausted to give birth again—the first birth may have been quick, but it had been fierce and traumatic and nearly three weeks ahead of schedule. She shut her eyes and wondered when Andrew would arrive. She hadn't been able to get him at his office, he'd been out at a meeting apparently, and once the contractions had quicked to every minute and a half she'd known her only option was to call an ambulance.
So her first baby arrived in a gush of red and a gash of loneliness—and now she was being told to deliver a second and still her husband was absent. Andrew hadn't seemed too keen on having one baby, so God knows what he'd think of this development. She started sobbing, noisy snot-filled gulps that rang through the little hospital.
"Mrs. Brown, will you control yourself!" the midwife said. Frances loathed her, with her mean features and squeaky, grating voice—what was she even doing in this job, she thought bitterly, she'd suck the air out of any situation, even the beauty of birth, like a malevolent pair of bellows.
"Can I see my baby?" Frances said. "I haven't even seen her yet."
"She's being checked. Just concentrate on this one."
"I don't want to concentrate on this one. I want my real baby. Give me my real baby." She was screeching now. The midwife got the gas and air and held it over Frances's face, pressing hard. Frances gagged and finally stopped screaming, and as she quieted the fight went out of her and something in her died, there on that hospital bed.

Party Lines by Emma Barry
Carina • $3.99 • ISBN 9781426899454
Published January 12, 2015
order from: BAM | B & N | Amazon
If you're looking for romance with some serious political flair, look no further than Emma Barry's Party Lines, the third book in her Easy Part series.
Michael Picetti isn't too excited about traveling to frigid Iowa for their notoriously difficult caucuses during the presidential primary campaign. While dead serious about getting his Democratic candidate elected, he's also looking for a bit of a distraction during the grueling campaign. And he thinks he's found it when the lovely and whip-smart Lydia Reales sits beside him on the plane to Iowa. But the ambitious, no-nonsense Lydia is no easy victory—not to mention the fact that she's working for the opponent. However, despite their diametrically opposed beliefs, the two can't seem to shake each other as the campaign rolls on.
Barry paints a true-to-life world of political aides—from the subtle sexism Lydia faces to the long, stress-filled hours. If you're a fan of political dramas like "Scandal" or even "House of Cards"—the political lingo is that spot-on—but want a bit more steam in the boardroom, you're in luck with this one.
Lydia tramped across a snowy sidewalk and stared at the title of Toby's email. RESULTS OF THE RANDALL OPPO the subject screamed. As long as she didn't open it, it could contain anything. It could be the details that would derail Randall's campaign; it could be a complete acquittal; it could be a few details that might turn into something with time. Until it had been read, the email's potential was limitless.
With the results of the Iowa caucuses scarcely two days old, and the media buzzing about Randall's win in the Democrat primary and Stafford's "surprise"—at least according to them—second place showing in the Republican one, whatever was in the email mattered more than ever . . . .
Some part of her knew there would be other consequences, more personal ones. She hadn't seen Michael Picetti since they'd had dinner in Des Moines weeks ago. She'd been bouncing around the country.
She'd looked for him in airports and hotel lobbies and thought about his dark eyes much more than she should have. Or his hands—his damn languid hands that were always moving to illustrate the stupid things he said or brushing his hair back in place. She'd had a dream three nights before about those hands . . .
Do you think you'll be picking up this romance novel for your eReader?
Our January Top Pick in Lifestyles is Lisa Occhipinti's Novel Living! Sure to please any crafty bibliophile, this whimsical yet wise book is filled with advice on everything from collecting rare and unique books to building and organizing your home library, with some fantastic book-centric craft projects to boot. Try your hand at these Lighted Book Boxes and show off your own literary treasures!
Lighted Book Boxes
This is simple and elegant book storage that doesn't take up any floor space. Basic wooden crates, whether purchased new or sourced from a flea market, are outfitted with a little mood lighting and textile design then hung on the wall. I made mine from wooden wine crates and vintage wallpaper. The little light inside illuminates the books like art.
1. Decide whether you want your book box to be oriented vertically or horizontally. Consider the books it will hold and where you are placing it on the wall. Drill two holes that fit the size of your screws on the back of the crate about one-third of the way down from the top and equally spaced apart. Sand any rough edges or nicks on your crate.
2. Paint the outer facing edges of the crate with the acrylic paint. Allow to dry.
3. Measure the height and width of the back wall of the crate, reducing the measurement by 1/8" (3 mm) on the top and one side, and cut your foam core to fit to that measurement.
4. Cover the foam core with your wallpaper or fabric. Apply spray glue to the foam core, and place it glue side down on the back of the wallpaper. Flip over and smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles with the bone folder. Flip back over, trim your corners for a nice finish, and wrap and glue the edges. Affix the covered foam core to the back of the crate with hot glue.
5. Measure the center point of the crate's "ceiling" and affix your puck light at that point, following the package instructions.
6. Position the crate on the wall where you would like to hang and use a pencil to mark where the screws will go, measuring the space between the two holes. Set the screws and wall anchors in the wall at the points you marked, with the screws extending out 3/8" (1 cm), and hang the crate from the holes drilled in the back of the crate.
Lisa Genova's remarkable 2009 debut, Still Alice, stands out for its sensitive portrayal of an intelligent woman faced with a diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's. In fact, the book was one of those rare self-published success stories—it was picked up by Gallery Books, who will also publish Inside the O'Briens, her fourth novel, in April.
This week, the film version of Still Alice will hit cinemas. Starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart, the film is already generating some awards buzz. (An actress playing a character with an illness is second only to an actress playing "ugly" when it comes to Oscar bait.) I dare you to not tear up at some point during the trailer below.
Will you see it?

The multiplayer from Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception launches as a free download on PSN today and offers Uncharted fans the chance to play up to level 15 of competitive play completely free of charge.
Players who want to go further will be able to either unlock the level cap as far as level 25 or even remove it completely (bumping it up to level 75) through microtransactions. The game's co-op content, which is the Co-op Arena and Adventure modes are also unlockable from the free version through microtransactions.
For those that don't care for microtransactions there's also the option to buy the full Game Of The Year Edition of Uncharted 3 giving players the full Nathan Drake experience.
Naughty Dog lead game designer Robert Cogburn explains their thinking behind offering Uncharted 3 as a freemium title, "We've looked at some models for other games, though nothing really played too great an influence on us," Cogburn said. "We kind of just broke down the game a la carte. You can get the single-player, or the competitive, or the co-op. Or you can get the 'Game of the Year' edition for all of it. The idea behind trying these different options - or business models, arguably - is we're just trying to see what people might gravitate to. We're going to be keeping a close eye on this and it will be interesting to see what type of model ends up being the most popular."
