Tons of new books in August, and I am trying out merging reviews in with the announcements of their publications. Perhaps the most prominent was Richard Paul Evans' first juvenile novel, which rocketed to the top of the New York Times Children's Chapter (hardback) bestseller list. The six Mormon authors who were nominated for Hugo Awards were shut out for the big prizes. A new Joseph Smith movie has its Utah premire next week, and there are upcoming plays by Melani Larson and Mahonri Stewart.
This is my first column this month, so it has to cover four weeks. I have been traveling around the Western United States visiting friends and family, and having a great time. I return to Japan today. While traveling, I have thoroughly enjoyed Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn, and my wife felt the same about Shannon Hale's The Actor and the Housewife.
New books and reviews
Jennifer Adams, illustrated by Alison Oliver. Pride & Prejudice. Gibbs Smith. Children's illustrated book.
Review: Publisher's Weekly. Launching the BabyLit series, this counting book delivers a (very) simplified version of Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Adams opens with "1 english village" and "2 rich gentlemen," the pale, dapperly dressed Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. Later follows "4 marriage proposals" and "5 sisters," and the book closes with 10, as in "10,000 pounds a year." While many entries feel like filler ("6 horses, 7 soldiers in uniform"), Oliver's Edward Gorey–meets–Etsy sensibility should make this a hit with English lit students. Available simultaneously: Romeo & Juliet. Up to age 3. (Aug.)
Rachael Renee Anderson. Minor Adjustments. Cedar Fort, August 8. Mystery. Her third novel, switching to mystery after two chic lit novels.
Review: Kathy at Bookworm Nation. 5 out of 5.
Orson Scott Card and Emily Janice Card. Firefall. Udon Entertainment, Une. An online manga, written by father and daughter Cards, based on a video game.
Larry Correia. Monster Hunter Alpha. Baen, July 26. Mass-market paperback. Third in the series. Correia's second novel published this year, out of a schedule of four. Made it on the NYT Mass Market Paperback Bestseller list for one week, at #23.
Heather Dixon. Entwined. Harper Collins/Greenwillow, Apirl. A Twelve Dancing Princesses YA novel. Dixon's first novel. [This novel is not new, but I had not noticed it before this month.]
Reviews: Booklist: *Starred Review* "With several unexpected twists, the story, based on the original Grimms` tale `The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes,` plunges toward a harrowing conclusion. This first novel is richly imagined with a gothic feel, and Dixon` descriptions of the many dances are thrilling. Although the general story line will be familiar to readers of Jessica Day George`s Princess of the Midnight Ball (2009), this romantic fantasy is darker in tone, and the villain resembles the faeries in Nancy Werlin`s Impossible (2008) and O. R. Melling's The Hunter`s Moon (2005). The story gracefully explores significant themes of grief and loss, mercy and love. Full of mystery, lush settings, and fully orbed characters, Dixon`s debut is both suspenseful and rewarding. Grades 7-10. –Melissa Moore
Kirkus: This retelling of "The 12 Dancing Princesses" includes all the familiar elements of the Grimms' fairy tale while adding detail and exciting events—with consummate panache . . . All 11 sisters are very real characters, adding considerable dimension to the story. The unfortunately gauche and clumsy king slowly shows his truly loving heart, especially as he arranges for the older girls to meet appropriate young men as suitors, also well-developed and rewarding characters. The plot zips along, becoming more and more suspenseful as the story progresses until it becomes almost too tense. Dixon balances the suspense with generous helpings of humor and sparkling dialogue. This charming, romantic story, told with a light touch, will appeal to older preteens on up. (Fantasy. 12 & up)
Jessica George: (2 stars). "I was excited to find a new adaptation of The Twelve Dancing Princesses and the cover absolutely made me salivate, but I'm afraid I just couldn't love this as much as I wanted to. Some of her writing is very lush, and the magic system and history of their country is fascinating, but it took me a long time to get into, and I never cared as much for the sisters as I did for some of the menfolk in the story. I know people are loving this book, but it just didn't click for me. "
Gamila's Book Review: "I enjoyed reading this story very much and loved the flawed character of the girl's father, the King. He leaves for war on directly after their mother's funeral, leaving the girls to believe he does not love them. So, when he returns and discovers his girls are ensnared in some kind of sorcery he does not get a warm welcome. In fact, it is charming to read about how this family learns to trust and love one another again . . . Then there are the dear sisters themselves. It is hard to write a cast of 12 sisters, but this author manages to make many of the girls distinct and likable. This band of sisters is practically its own small army and you can't help but root for their success by the end of the book. The icing on the cake to this wonderful tale is the fact that you get not one, but three unique love stories by story's end."
Richard Paul Evans. Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25. Mercury Ink, Aug. 9. YA Speculative. The first novel published by Glenn Beck's new imprint. A 14-year old discovers he has special power over electricity.
Publishers Weekly review: Evans enters the YA market with this fast-paced, if predictable tale of a teenager with superpowers and the conspiracy that created him . . . Evans delivers a pair of believable lead characters-Taylor has wits and personal integrity, while Michael's Tourette's syndrome, coupled with an emotional jolt from his past, adds dimension-but generic dialogue and lackluster villains result in a by-the-numbers thriller.
Daris Howard. Super Cowboy Rides. WiDo Publishing, August 23. Family/YA. Howard, who is from St. Anthony, Idaho, is a cowboy poet, playwright, newspaper columnist, math professor at BYU-Idaho.
Andy Hueller. Skipping Stones at the Center of the Earth. Cedar Fort, Aug. 1. Middle Grade fantasy. Second novel.
Betsy Love. Identity. Walnut Springs, July 14. Romantic suspense. Mormon characters. First novel.
Gregg Luke. Bloodborne. Covenant, August. Medical drama.
Review: Jennie Hansen (Meridian Magazine): 5 stars. "Luke does a masterful job of explaining biological and medical terms and reactions. Being a pharmacist, he knows the correct terms and how to make them understandable to non-medical readers. He's also a master at building suspense and creating believable characters, inserting realistic dialog, and keeping readers turning one page after another without a break until the story is finished. He makes even an unbeliever question whether there might be some validity to the conspiracy rumors and theories that have abounded for centuries . . . Mystery/Suspense readers will love Bloodborne. Already an acclaimed writer of medical suspense, this novel places Luke among the top writers in this field."
Kristen McKendry. Garden Plot. Covenant, August. Mystery.
Review: Jennie Hansen (Meridian Magazine) 5 stars. "Garden Plot is a fun mixture of serious mystery and humor. The characters are enjoyable and McKendry paints them in a way that makes them feel real, sometimes a little too much like people the reader knows in real life. For a story that appears light and easy, the mystery is surprisingly complicated and not easily solved. The romance elements are so low key, they're as easy to miss as the murder solution. The book is enjoyable and will appeal to any woman who feels torn in a dozen directions as she tries to juggle just one more thing on top of family, career, and church responsibilities. "
Jennifer A Nielsen. Elliot and the Pixie Plot. Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, August. The Underworld Chronicles, book 2. Middle grade fantasy novel. Sourcebooks is an independent national publisher based in Naperville, Illinois.
Review: Kirkus Reviews: "Nielsen cleverly keeps the action and humor flowing from one silly obstacle to the next as Elliot tries to meet the demands of the angry Pixies. This quickly addictive page-turner also entices readers with many sensory details, such as tenacious Gripping Mud, surprisingly tasty turnip juice and a tingly invisibility potion gone wrong. Along the journey to broker peace among the Pixies, Fairies and Brownies of the underworld, Elliot learns how to navigate some difficult relationships and appreciate the better qualities in unlikely allies. Definitely a series to invest in for those who prefer their fantasy a bit light."
Ann Perry. Acceptable Loss. Ballantine, August. The 17th William Monk novel. Victorian mystery.
Reviews: Pendle Today (British Newspaper): "Perry brings a wealth of historical detail and accuracy to her best-selling novels which often take readers through uncomfortable moral mazes and age-old ethical dilemmas. A murder mystery made to make you think."
Huntington News, West Virginia: "Acceptable Loss" is a strongly character driven novel, as are all of Perry's novels. We care about Monk, Scruff and Hester . . . It's vintage Anne Perry.
New Jersey Star-Ledger: "Best in the series to date, Perry's masterful storytelling and moving dialogue ascend to even greater heights in a dramatic denouement played out in court."
Book Reporter: by far the bleakest and darkest entry in the series yet, and readers will not be prepared for twists and turns that lay in wait for Monk in this extremely tense novel . . . ACCEPTABLE LOSS is a difficult book to describe. There is far less mystery and much more political play involved in the Mickey Parfitt murder case, and all of the principal characters are put in positions where none of them can escape untarnished by whatever outcome is decided. The tone is quite dark, and the ethical and moral quandaries created by the murder of one of society's worst elements make it difficult to find a side to root for.
Tristi Pinkston. Hang 'em High. Walnut Springs, August. Mystery. Secret Sisters, vol. 3.
Clair M. Poulson. Hunted. Covenant, August. Mystery/Adventure. Poulson's 18th novel.
Review: Jennie Hansen (Meridian Magazine). "Poulson is well known for complex mysteries with a strong role played by law enforcement. A former law enforcement officer himself in a rural area, Poulson has a keen understanding of police procedures, community impact, the part weather plays in an investigation, and the relationship between rural and federal law enforcement. All of these are brought into play in this novel as he expands what seems on the surface to be a small town crime into one that has national ramifications. There is a romance element to the story that is not as strong as the mystery and is realistic, but won't be as satisfying to romance fans as they may wish. The characters could be a little better developed, especially Zach, but they are likable and readers will identify with them. The villains aren't exactly politically correct in today's climate and show a brand of extremism that is real, even if it isn't PC to say so."
Elodia Strain. My Girlfriend's Boyfriend. Cedar Fort, August. Novelization of the 2010 independent romantic comedy film by Daryn Tufts.
Review: Fire and Ice, 4 stars.
Keith Terry. Sophia: Sons of the Covenant. Self-published, 2010. First in a series. Blurb: "Segments of this work of historical fiction are based upon the private, unpublished journals of President Joseph F. Smith. Little-known facts about the prophet's early life emerge: he chewed tobacco, drank alcohol, struggled with a violent temper, battered his schoolteacher, and was divorced from his first wife. Shocking, poignant, and ultimately sublime, the sixth prophet's colorful life provides rich material for an exciting read as Sophia, Jared, and the man who became the sixth president of the church each face their greatest challenges."
Review: Jennie Hansen (Meredian Magazine), 3 stars. "The transitions from one story to another are annoying and poorly spaced. I got the feeling that the most compelling stories, those of Sophia and Jared, were merely a framework or vehicle for telling President Smith's story. I was disappointed in the telling of President Smith's story because it began near the end of his life and seemed to be a series of flashbacks. The tone isn't sympathetic and left me feeling like President Smith was first an aggressive bully, then an inconsiderate husband, and finally a self-centered, though kind tyrant. Taken as individual chapters or series of chapters, Terry is a compelling writer who can hold his audience. He is particularly good telling Sophia's story. Unfortunately he sometimes indulges in author intrusion, telling the reader things the point of view character couldn't possibly know or see . . . Overall, the novel is an interesting glimpse into a time nearly a hundred years in the past."
Kristen Tracy. Sharks & Boys. Hyperion, June. Young Adult. Tracy was raised Mormon in Idaho, and attended BYU for a time, where she studied under Brian Evenson. She no longer identifies herself as Mormon, but her books have included Mormon characters. She has published 6 novels, and co-edited a poetry collection, A Chorus for Peace: A Global Anthology of Poetry by Women, with BYU professors Marilyn Arnold and Bonnie Ballif-Spanvill.
Reviews: Bloggin' 'bout Books reviews the "Mormon Mentions" in the novel. This is an occasional series by BBB, where she discusses how non-Mormon (or in this case, former Mormon) authors treat Mormonism or Mormon characters in YA novels. The novel includes two Mormon boys, who talk about their heritage and going on a mission, but also experiment with drinking alcohol.
Bloggin' 'bout Books review: C. "Sharks & Boys tells a straight-up survival story. Its mainstreamed plot leaves little room for subtlety or real depth, but the life-or-death nature of it all does keep the story moving. Our heroine comes off as whiny and clingy, a double whammy that makes her both authentic and annoying (albeit in a funny way). I didn't feel a lot of connection to her or to any of the other characters, really – probably because there are way too many to keep track of (even on the raft, there were eight). What I really wanted from this book was complexity, good character development, and a little bit of psychological drama since, believe it or not, the story actually grew a little boring at times. Since it didn't have much of any of those things, I found myself more disappointed by Sharks & Boys than intrigued."
Kirkus (Starred Review) "Thoughtless teen behavior leads four sets of twins on a deadly adventure in a horribly realistic but often very funny survival tale . . . When the boat goes down and they are left with only a plastic raft, the reality turns increasingly deadly as the often-fortunate coincidences of survival tales don't help these kids out. As Enid names a few of the circling sharks, their increasingly dire situation reveals more about all eight twins, with twins Munny and Sov, who've seemed vulnerable, exhibiting unsuspected strength. William Golding updated with humor. (Adventure. 12-17)"
Booklist: " A page-turning thriller that will please Gary Paulsen fans, this emotionally complex novel makes everyone's worst beach nightmare palpable and provides a fascinating character study that explores what happens when instincts are pitted against relationships." – Frances Bradburn
Tyler Whitesides. Janitors. Shadow Mountain, August 3. Middle grade fantasy/humor, first in a series. Shadow Mountain has high hopes for the series to succeed nationally, replacing Fablehaven, whose author Brandon Mull moved on to a major publisher.
Reviews: Kirkus Reviews: "With both cleanliness and educational function at stake, a government agency and a rebel faction duke it out in the halls, restrooms and classrooms of an Idaho elementary school . . . Whitesides, himself a former school custodian, commits rookie mistakes by suddenly dropping a major character (the obligatory bully) and sets up sequels by leaving too many basic questions unanswered. Still, his debut spins plenty of action, authentic janitorial detail and foul substances around an audience-pleasing premise. An implausible but entertaining ruckus: Squeamish readers may never touch a school water fountain again."
LDSWBR group review. All three reviewers gave it 4 stars out of 5.
Shanda: "While older readers might find certain aspects of Janitors too silly, the humor and adventure is just right for 8-12 year olds . . . One thing I love to find in middle grade novels is accountability and consequence. While it's great to suspend belief to a degree, kids in this age group are learning a lot about consequences to their actions and they notice if the consequences are missing . . . I give Janitors 4 stars out of 5 because my daughter and I had such a good time reading it together."
Sheila: "This book is a perfect read for Middle-Grade readers. . . . There are so many things that kids are going to love about Janitors. There is plenty of action and many funny moments, including what happens at the school-wide, PTA-sponsored Ice Cream Social. Of course, don't forget about the magical elements that are found in this story. There is a great surprise at the end of the book for main character Spencer! This leads perfectly into the second book. I can't wait to have my nine-year-old son read this book. I know that he is going to love it!"
Mindy: "I really liked this book. What I liked most were the lessons learned by the characters. Some examples: telling the whole truth (even it's about monsters), stand up for what you believe, stand up for yourself, and if something doesn't feel right it probably isn't. I also enjoyed the very inventive ways of using common household items as powerful weapons."
Other reviews:
Larry Correia. Hard Magic. Reviewed by Jessica George. "Larry Correia sure can write the hell out of a book . . . This book has everything: X-Men-like powers, noir-esque writing, action, romance, mid-air zeppelin battles, and lots and lots of guns. What always pleases me about Larry's books is that he creates not only great male characters, but his female characters are wonderful. There's not a single dumb bimbo to be found, but instead we've got complex and realistic women, the perfect matches for the equally well-written men. Also, deapite the many alterations to history (big and small), the threads of political intrigue, history and working of this particular magic, rival secret societies, social commentary, and smaller relationships, Correia manages to keep track of it all, and weave it deftly into a marvelous story that just WORKS, y'know? It just . . . it's just a hell of a read." (Baen, May 2011).
Larry Correia. Hard Magic. Reviewed by William Morris. "Quite the rollicking ride. Characterization that goes beyond what you'd expect from the pulp noir (plus steampunk, plus superhero) setting. Fantastic action scenes and a coherent overarching series plot. Warning: it's an incredibly violent novel." (Baen, May 2011).
Jennie Hansen. If I Should Die. Reviewed by Mindy at LDSWBR. 3.5 stars (out of 5). (Covenant, May 2011).
Eric W. Jepson (editor). The Fob Bible. Reviewed by Laura Craner, 4 stars (out of 5). "This was such a weird reading experience for me. I started this book a little warily and ended up really liking it–but it took me a long time to get there. Like any multi-author anthology there are going to be parts you like and parts you don't like. For me a lot of the poetry ended up feeling like filler–with a few exceptions (I really liked "Weary")–but I think that's more a reflection of my own personal aesthetic than the quality of the poetry. What really won me over though were a few of the short stories. "Blood-Red Fruit" and "The Book of Job's Wife" really blew me away. Amazing stuff. I actually read those stories more than once because I found them so moving and interesting. The Jonah story was also very well done. The story about Alphalad lost me. But again, this is probably due to my own aesthetic preferences and not because the story wasn't well done. The thing I wanted most with this book was a reader's group or class. I just wanted to stop and examine it and talk about it because it was dense reading. In a good way." (Peculiar Pages, June 2009).
Abel Keogh. The Third. Reviewed by Bloggin' 'Bout Books, C. "Tense Pro-Life Dystopian Novel Shows Serious Potential . . . While the plotting and character development leave something to be desired, it's not a bad debut novel. Not at all, really. The idea of population control makes Keogh's dystopian world unique . . . since most end-of-the-world societies have the opposite problem. It's also an issue rife with tension, making the story both intense and relevant. I actually loved the whole idea of it. Keogh makes some rookie mistakes, though – characters that don't exactly leap off the page, info-dumpy dialogue, and plot devices that hinge entirely on coincidence – all of which distract from the story. Still, the novel commanded my attention, propelling me through its pages in a matter of hours. Did I love every word? No, but I think Keogh's got some serious potential and, just for the record, if he happened to write a sequel to The Third, I would totally read it." (Cedar Fort, April 2011).
Josi Kilpack. Blackberry Crumble. Reviewed by Shanda at LDSWBR. 4 stars (out of 5). "Blackberry Crumble was well-written, descriptive and full of red herrings. I honestly didn't know who would end up being the bad guy and I was surprised by the end. The overall pace felt a little slower than the others but there was still plenty of suspense and action . . . I feel that Blackberry Crumble is where action and consequence come full circle for Sadie and I'm very interested to see where Josi takes the series from here." (Deseret Book, March 2011).

"A Hot Two Days in Old Nauvoo: A Review of Sorts". Scott reviews the tourist experience and the Nauvoo Pagent.
"Douglas Thayer and the Adolescent Adam: A Review of "Summer Fire"" Scott raves about the novel, "When the day comes that I teach an Introduction to Mormon Literature class to a room full of Latter-day Saints, I'm going to assign Summer Fire. Not only has Thayer written the novel in an incredibly teachable way—it employs traditional plot structure, a clear theme, and plenty of accessible symbolism—but he has also used it to address many of the basic doctrines (i.e. atonement, eternal progression, etc.) that young Latter-day Saints learn about and discuss in the Seminary program. What is more, the novel has a kind of ageless quality about it, despite being set sometime in the mid-1960s, possibly due to its remote setting, timeless themes, or even Thayer's own distinctive, unadorned prose style. Whatever the case may be, readers are unlikely to be distracted by any details that would betray the fact that it was published nearly thirty years ago." (Andrew says-My Mom had me read the novel when I was a kid, and I did not finish it because I thought the main character was a prig. I should give it another chance.)
"Flooding the Bloggernacle with Mormon Literature…?" Scott talks about different strategies for gaining mainstream literary respectability for Mormon literature. He notes that the only Mormon themed novels that have gained mainstream attention are those that "either depict non-traditional sexualities (at least in the mainstream Mormon community) or cast Mormonism, with its magical Kolobian underwear, as a big joke." While worthy works that depicts real Mormons are ignored. "Possibly, one way to remedy the barrier between national audiences and more authentic Mormon literatures (i.e. gain literary respectability) would be through education. Teach a national audience, or the literary establishment, about the issues that are important, say, to contemporary Mormon novelists, and the audience will be more likely to be interested in and understand the novelist's work. If minority literatures show us anything, they show us that we can connect with lives and cultures different from our own as long as they make us care enough to connect . . . Currently, the Bloggernacle has many popular, well-travelled blogs that address Mormonism culturally rather than doctrinally or institutionally. I wonder if flooding these sites with energetic guest posts about Mormon literature might be the way the get the word out among the Mormons."
"Teaching Dispensation: An Update" Scott reports on his plans to use Dispensation: Latter-day Fiction as a text in his upcoming "American Religious Landscapes" literature class, as well as other stories from other religious traditions.

It was based on Markham's 1987 musical Truth Will Prevail, about LDS converts in 1840 England, and their journey to Utah. Markham is from the Cheltenham Stake in England. There was a version produced in England in 2007, based on a fictional family, but the Church insisted that he change it to a real family for the SLC performance. The production included actors from England and the US. Deseret News article.

Mahonri Stewart's The Opposing Wheel, produced by Stewart's Zion's Theatre Company, will be performed September 2, 3, 5, 9, and 10 at the Castle Outdoor Theater in Provo. Heather Jones is the director. The ZTC blurb says, "The Opposing Wheel is a play where the modern meets the medieval, as 21st century adventurers encounter a woman named Magdalena Devonshire trapped in a castle by an ancient enchantment. As the story progresses, they encounter devils, enchantresses, and figures of legend. The play is a funny, romantic, and redemptive fantasy—a romp through myth, miracle and magic. Playwright Stewart said that the influences that inspired the play were numerous, "There's the obvious classical influences in a play dealing with these kinds of legends—Arthurian mythology, Alfred Lord Tennyson's poetry, pre-Raphaelite art. But then there are other inspirations I've incorporated, like C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters, and even really modern things like the recent run of Doctor Who on BBC. And like nearly all my plays, there's a strong spiritual subtext." (See the link for more comments by the director and actors).

Diana Green - 18/06/2014
This is a lovely dance that flows beautifully to a great song. The three tags are very easy to spot as the music fits perfectly to them. I hope this one makes the charts
Elaine Hornagold - 11/05/2014
The more we do this dance the more we like it! Great steps that fit perfectly to this Enrique song, wish more people would take a look!
Elaine Hornagold - 02/05/2014
A lovely flowing NC two step to a great track by Enrique, the perfect combination. Neils has interpreted the music perfectly with the walk sections both in the main dance and the tag. Really hope to see this in the charts. Superb!
Christine Wallace - 21/04/2014
Niels has written this beautiful NC two step to a fabulous track by Enrique. The two wall main dance flows perfectly to the music. The three tags are identical with repetitive steps that are easy to remember. Two are done facing nine o'clock. The last tag starts at three o'clock and ends the dance. This deserves to be a big hit.

Dropping Knowledge - Table of Free Voices. All Nothing: Poetic 1978 Animated Allegory about Mankind's Greed. By Maria Popova Frédéric Back's beautiful short film about harmony and the tragic entitlement of our species.
French-born artist and activist-filmmaker Frédéric Back got his professional start in Canada in the 1950s, where he was asked to draw still images promoting moving pictures at Radio-Canada's graphics department. In 1967, his giant stained glass mural entitled L'histoire de la musique à Montréal ("history of music in Montreal") became the first work of art to be commissioned for the Montreal metro system. Destigmatize Regifting. By Maria Popova How to give and receive with honesty, love, and no guilt.
The season of giving is upon us — a time to receive a lot of stuff we don't really need from people we care about, give them stuff they don't really need in return, and do it all graciously, dancing a dance of feigned stuff-needing. But what if we could pass that stuff we don't really want or need along to someone who might? Sustainability, Environment, Progressive Politics, Peak Oil, Being Green. This Awesome Urn Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die. You don't find many designers working in the funeral business thinking about more creative ways for you to leave this world (and maybe they should be).
However, the product designer Gerard Moline has combined the romantic notion of life after death with an eco solution to the dirty business of the actual, you know, transition. His Bios Urn is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose and inside it contains the seed of a tree. Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted and then the seed germinates and begins to grow. You even have the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become, depending on what kind of planting space you prefer. I, personally, would much rather leave behind a tree than a tombstone. Earth Hour. Home. 50 Ways to Help the Planet.

The Pharmacy Plus Network has teamed up with CampDoc.com to provide prepackaged medications to summer camps.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Pharmacy Plus Network has teamed up with CampDoc.com to provide prepackaged medications to summer camps.
CampDoc.com, an Ann Arbor, Mich.-based provider of an electronic health record system for camps, said Tuesday that the Pharmacy Plus Network will supply the camper medications in sealed packages, clearly labeled with the camper's name and dispensing instructions. Medications will also be shipped directly to camps at no additional cost.
The partnership will accept all major insurance carriers, according to CampDoc.com, a division of DocNetwork LLC.
"Of all the ways that campers can be harmed at camp, medication errors are the most dangerous, but also the most preventable," stated Sam Maddali, chief executive officer of Pharmacy Plus Network, a Ledgewood, N.J.-based group purchasing organization made up of about 100 independent community pharmacies. "We're excited to be working with CampDoc.com and offer this much needed service to the camp community."
CampDoc.com noted that more than one in four U.S. children and adolescents take prescription drugs on a regular basis, and with the number of medications being prescribed rising, camps are devoting an excessive amount of time organizing, preparing and distributing medications every summer. Processed via the CampDoc.com electronic health record, the prepackaged medications will reduce medication errors and the risk of missed medications or incorrect dosing.
"Our system already integrates technology and camp health care. Offering prepackaged medications furthers our mission of helping camps reduce risk, improve efficiency and maximize safety at their camp," commented Dr. Michael Ambrose, owner and director of CampDoc.com.

Please note: this information was current as of February 2005 but is still a useful guide today.
Fibre is made up of a number of components of plant foods that aren't digested in the small intestine like other nutrients. However, fibre can be broken down to some extent by bacteria in the large intestine. There are two main types: insoluble fibre and soluble fibre. A more recent addition to the fibre stable is resistant starch which, while not traditionally thought of as 'fibre', has been found to act in a similar way. All plant foods –– vegetables, fruit, legumes and grains –– contain a mixture of fibres, and each type plays an important role in the body.
Most people only eat about two thirds of the fibre they need. At least 30 grams a day is the recommended amount for adults. Aim to get it from a variety of foods because each of the different types of fibre is important to different aspects of your overall health. See our tips below to help boost your intake.
It's important that kids get enough fibre, although Australian guidelines don't specify an exact amount. The child's age plus 5 to 10 grams per day is a good amount to aim for.

King County, YWCA to hold meeting about Passage Point
June 21, 2011
Safety is on the minds of community members neighboring the future Passage Point facility.
The YWCA will provide housing at Passage Point for men and women recently released from incarceration who wish to reunite with their children. The residents of Passage Point, who would otherwise be homeless, will have access to housing, employment and counseling services. It's slated to open its doors next month.
A half-dozen community leaders met with representatives from King County and the YWCA, as well as King County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Andrea Alexander at Evergreen Community Church during a May 24 meeting about safety procedures.
Passage Point, in the southern part of the Issaquah School District, has long been a hot topic for the area. Students living at Passage Point will attend Maple Hills Elementary School, Maywood Middle School or Liberty High School.
Maple Hills Elementary School principal goes to PCMS
June 7, 2011
Maple Hills Elementary School Principal Monique Beane has nurtured her school's community since 2007, but this fall she has decided to move up to the middle school level.
In an email to parents June 6, Beane announced her move to Pacific Cascade Middle School, where she will work as assistant principal.
The current assistant principal, Condee Wood, has accepted a position with Washington Middle School in the Olympia School District.
When Issaquah School District Superintendent Steve Rasmussen learned of Wood's move, he asked Beane if she would consider taking the Pacific Cascade position, she wrote in the email. Just as she taught her students at Maple Hills, Beane said she decided to take on a new challenge.
Maple Hills Elementary principal takes middle school post

NEW — 5:45 p.m. June 6, 2011
Maple Hills Elementary School Principal Monique Beane has nurtured her school's community since 2007, but this fall she has decided to move up to the middle school level.
In an email to parents Monday, Beane announced her move to Pacific Cascade Middle School, where she will work as assistant principal.
The current assistant principal, Condee Wood, has accepted a position with Washington Middle School in the Olympia School District.

Issaquah School District considers $228 million bond
May 24, 2011
Though far from complete, the 2012 Issaquah School District bond has something for all of the district's 24 schools, making the work-in-process price $228.6 million.
The proposal also includes remodeled or expanded schools for Apollo, Clark, Issaquah Valley and Sunny Hills elementary schools, Issaquah Middle School, and Liberty and Tiger Mountain Community high schools.
The bond proposal suggests the district tear down Tiger Mountain and Clark, and move the students to a remodeled building where Issaquah Middle School is now. The two schools would be close, but not connected, Associate Superintendent Ron Thiele said, with the Tiger move costing about $3.9 million and the Clark move costing about $19.5 million.
In the meantime, the district would build a new, two-story Issaquah Middle School where Clark and Tiger are now; that would cost about $62.5 million.
"This is the biggest project on the bond," Thiele said.
The proposed bond also shows several trends — switches from carpet to rubber flooring, three new artificial-turf fields and two rain shields for outdoor play areas.

Boy Scout Troop Pack 636 started the function with a flag salute, and Issaquah PTSA Council President Janine Kotan welcomed the crowd.
The ceremony had a sports theme, with presenters dressed in their favorite sports garb and giving speeches about how volunteers had wowed their fans and hit home runs for their schools.
Jennifer Good, a parent volunteer at Challenger Elementary School, said she began volunteering to meet people and promote education. She organized an ice cream social at the beginning of the year, while Ruth Steck, another parent volunteer, regularly snaps photos of students for the Challenger yearbook.
Both women said they appreciated the Golden Acorn Awards, though, "You don't do it to be recognized," Good said.
Students get in battle of words at Global Reading Challenge
March 15, 2011
They had read the books over and over. They had quizzed each other. They had triumphed at their schools' Global Reading Challenge, landing them a spot at the Issaquah School District's competition at the Issaquah Library.
In a room overflowing with about 60 parents, teachers and friends, 42 fourth- and fifth-grade students sat raptly listening as librarians quizzed them about books.
Parent Toni Nankova said her daughter Daniela Nankova absorbed the books like a sponge does water.
"After she was done reading, she would say, "Mom, this book is really good. You have to read it," Toni Nankova said. "And then she would quiz me on it. If I got it wrong, she'd say, 'You have to go back and read it.'"
Students began preparing for the challenge in October. Each group had seven people and 10 books to read, with some students reading a few books and others reading the whole stack.
First, they competed against other groups at their school. The winning teams from Creekside, Discovery, Grand Ridge, Issaquah Valley, Maple Hills and Sunset elementary schools trooped to the Issaquah Library on March 2 to duke it out with their friends and rivals.

The story begins in Buenos Aires in the 1990s, as Argentine journalist David Rabinovich returns from a long sojourn in Israel and encounters two people from his past: his former best friend, Sergio D'Alessandro, a filmmaker, and Claudia Gonzalez, a human-rights lawyer who was involved with both of them. Back in the 1970s, all three were devoted cinephiles, and their three-way romantic intrigues began when Claudia met Sergio, then David, at movie theaters. The situation was reminiscent of François Truffaut's Jules and Jim, which the trio immediately recognized. Claudia started off with Sergio, but David managed to gain her attention. Soon, David and Claudia were living together, much to the displeasure of David's father, Jacob, a Holocaust survivor and Yiddish theater star who wanted his son to marry a Jewish woman. But now, two decades later, they meet again.
This story setup could very well be the premise for a Truffaut-like comedy about young love and old friends, but Diament takes his tale into much darker territory indeed. The cause for this trio's breakup years before was the horrible reign of terror known as the Dirty War of the 1970s, when the right-wing military kidnapped, tortured, and killed more than 30,000 Argentines, Los Desaparecidos, who were suspected of -- but never tried for -- antigovernment beliefs. Despite the anguished pleas from thousands of families, the government refused to reveal information about those held in custody, and many were never heard from again.
The three friends begin to piece together what happened to each. As the Dirty War began, David hurried to Israel, leaving Claudia behind. Meanwhile, Sergio, hoping to curry favor with a military officer to further his movie career, learned that Claudia was marked for arrest for her openly leftist views. The officer offered Sergio a cozy movie deal in exchange for his cooperation. Now, years later, the horrible truth of Claudia's fate and the moral failures of the two men she loved come to light.
Diament's drama is chilling. Though his characters are fictional, the historical context of Smithereens is sadly very real. And Diament, former editor of La Opinion, ought to know better than most. His publisher, Jacobo Timmerman, was himself a noted victim of the Dirty War, and the newspaper was seized by the military for speaking out against the government's crimes.
His point of view here is understandable, but he tends to oversell it. The several parallels made between the Dirty War and the Holocaust seem too convenient. The loss of 30,000 people for political beliefs real or imagined is a horrible crime, but it pales in the face of 6 million lost to genocide or, for that matter, the enduring genocidal atrocities in Africa. Diament is making an analogy of fascism then and now, of course, but he could have drawn analogies from the left as well. Clearly, such atrocities are not now and never have been confined to the right wing (Cambodia), and Diament's failure to say so turns his position into a self-serving political argument. The play bears similarities to Death and the Maiden and Kiss of the Spider Woman, both also about South American liberals caught up in right-wing terror. It does not, by the way, bear any connection to the film Smithereens, a lightweight American comedy of some years back.
De Acha does a careful job of staging the ephemeral, ever-shifting narrative flow. A wine bottle or a chair left from one scene becomes the focal point of the next, 20 years before or after. He also has an uncanny ability to conjure a tactile sense of place, of society. As with the Cuba of Hortensia and the Museum of Dreams and rural Ireland in The Weir, this director really evokes an Argentina, despite the minimalist production's lack of visual cues. Michelle Cumming's stark, gray, prison-like set, at once grimly threatening yet remote, aids the sense of displacement. The overall tone of this production is somber -- quite naturally given the dark material -- and decidedly provocative. The problems of three little people may not amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world, but their story has considerable power nevertheless.
The cast is drawn from the loose ensemble of actors who regularly frequent the New Theatre's productions. Paul Tei makes for an interesting, tortured Sergio, leaning heavily on sarcasm and vodka to medicate his self-loathing. David Mann is quite fine as David Rabinovich, the classy, casual writer who is enraged at his friend's failings only to discover his own. Likewise for David Kwiat as Jacob, the lonely, haunted actor-father who would rather stare into his own reflection than engage the people around him. As Claudia, Marcy Ruderhausen is less successful, but she is saddled with several difficult tasks -- portraying the enduring agonies of a torture victim and having to give life and air to more than a few archly written monologues.

Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater, blonde, tall an' fine
She got a lotta tips
Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff in a violent room
Fightin' with lovers past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast
Well, I ordered, "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't too hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said, "Sound like a real man to me
You kinda cute, you wanna take a bath?
Do you wanna, do you wanna? Bath"
I said, "Cool, I'm leavin' my pants on", "What you say?"
"'Cuz I'm kinda goin' with someone"
She said, "Sound like a real man to me
Mind if I turn on the radio?"
"Oh, my favorite song," she said
An' it was Joni singin'
'Help me I think I'm falling'
Ring, the phone rang an' she said
"Whoever's callin' can't be as cute as you"
Right then an' there I knew I was through
Dorothy Parker was cool
Well, my pants where wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie 'cuz she hadn't read the book first
Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh
I felt much better so I went back
To the violent room
Tell us what you did, what you did?
Let me tell you what I did
I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fightin' stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, well

Muzzle of Bees LyricsArtist: WilcoAlbum: A Ghost Is Born And a muzzle of bees My sleeves have come unstitched From climbing your tree And dogs laugh, some say they're barking I don't think they're mean Some people get so frightened Of the fences in between And the sun gets passed from tree to tree Silently, and back to me With the breeze blown through Pushed up against the sea Finally back to me I'm assuming you got my message On your machine I'm assuming you love me And you know what that means Sun gets passed, sea to sea Silently, and back to me With the breeze blown through Pushed up above the leaves With the breeze blown through My head upon your knee Half of it's you, half is me Half of it's you, half is me

Mayfaire Server NOW!
Many people from the Conquer Online community have left their old servers and have been patiently waiting for a new server to enjoy themselves at. Mayfaire, the widely discussed new server was announced in early December. Moderators have been constantly reminding us that "it will open in a week or two". This reminder has been used for the last month. Many people believed the moderators and spent their time during the break waiting for the server. It is apparent that the server is not coming out any time soon, as the moderators and GMs have not made any information about the Mayfaire server public. This petition demands that the GMs open the server soon and release a clear date and time of its opening.

What caught your eye this week (Week 6)?
The Electronics Weekly team share their picks of the week, in terms of announcements, developments, product releases, quotes or anything else in the wider world that caught their eye in the last seven days…
David Manners, components editor
…It was Intel's move into wearables.
Sue Proud, production editor
This one is a bit of a juvenile and sniggery 'this caught my eye', because it has toilets, and 'waste cooking' (eugh!) and the Great Philanthropist (aka Microsoft founder Bill Gates reincarnated from hard-nosed businessman to all-round good guy) combined under the banner of solar power. Really that's a story that has everything.
…3D printing of UAVs by the University of Sheffield, emerging from its Boeing-backed Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre. Rather ominously, for me, it promises unmanned aircraft that could be disposable and sent on one-way flights for delivery, search or reconnaissance purposes.

Current Time
Hungary 1051
Tel: 36 1 269 3802
Concierge.com's insider take:
Momotaro Ramen, an informal noodle bar located in Pest, not far from Szabadság tér, wouldn't be out of place in Hong Kong or Shanghai. Dishes are cheap, filling, and extremely popular with the city's Chinese community. One of the best of the numerous ramen dishes on the Taipei-style menu is house noodles with cabbage, pork, and pickled eggs; pork sticky buns are fluffy and tender. Even basic dishes, such as pork fried rice, are a refreshing change of pace after you've overdosed on the hearty local fare of goulash and Mangalica (Hungarian woolly hog). Make sure you have cash before settling onto a stool at the bar—credit cards are not accepted.—Evan Rail

Why? The mystery of his mother can be addressed without John Snow being alive. I think he is dead. If he comes back it will be as a white walker.
Some other thoughts. Maester Aemon is right about who Azor Ahai is and the smoke and salt that is referenced in AA's rebirth is not a metaphor but a location
Grrm said he will find out who is mom is. Hard to figure that out when you are dead. Unless there's gonna be a really lame afterlife scene. He's gotta come back

EUGENE, Ore. — Lane County sheriffs are looking for a man who went missing more than a month ago. His name was released today as James Dutton.
Dutton went missing more than a month ago when investigators say he went camping in the Willamette National Forest. Deputies found his car off a forest service road about two weeks ago.
If you've seen Dutton, you can call the Lane County sheriff's office at 541-682-4141.
