MEDFORD, Ore. — The summer and fall harvests in Oregon are worth waiting for, but by learning a few tricks you can eat local all year long. Jennifer Levin is a University of Oregon professor by day, but also a Master Food Preserver with the OSU Extension Service.
"Sauerkraut is a great example of a fermented food," said Levin. "It's something that appeals to just about everybody, young and old."
Levin described the process of making this food as fairly easy.
"You need the cabbage and you need the salt. That's it," said Levin. "You need to slice the cabbage as finely as you can. What you do is you get the salt and kind of break up the cabbage shreds so you get the liquid exuding. What you're doing is you're breaking down the cells here. Once you do that, then you want to pack it really firmly into your jar. The salt starts to act on the cabbage and break it down, then the lactic bacteria starts to form in the cabbage and make it sour. That's it. It's really easy," Levin concluded.
Most other recipes aren't that easy, which is why it helps to get some hands-on training through one of the Extension Service's classes.
"They're absolutely the best bargain in town," said Levin. "You get instruction, recipes, hands-on training, samples, and you get all kinds of benefits from a very cheap class."
The Jackson County Commissioners have agreed to fund the Extension Office through December – meaning these types of classes will stick around for awhile. However, the Extension Office will have to reduce its budget or find alternative funding in the future.
If you'd like to learn more about helping the Extension Service or suggest solutions, you can attend the Friends of Extension Meeting held every Friday at 6:00 PM in the Extension Auditorium.

We are looking for those youtube subscribers to subscribe our channels who have fairly made their name on the YouTube media. We are looking for these sorts of followers heart and soul; and it is a necessary thing in order to set the pace for the growth of our channels. Do you know anybody selling these services? As of now, we do not think but there are some sellers like viewsgeeks.com who provide good number of good subscribers on a paid basis.
Why should you be targeting some remarkable or highly influential channels owners on YouTube? Do you know the main intent behind that? And should you look for that, right from the start? There are good things and bad about things about this. The youtube subscribers list to any channel is not like the one we can see on Twitter or so. When we look for who is following whom, we can spot them there with ease but that is kind of hard to do that on YouTube and that is the most important drawback of this media, as per us. The most significant benefit of this is that, if you manage to find out who followed your channel, then you will have a great situation to present to the entire world and make them aware that your channel is truly famous and is known for something special. It is like Taylor Swift following your music YouTube channel. How good would that be for you, to have Taylor Swift as one of your youtube subscribers? Do not give up on this but as long as you buy some good and active youtube subscribers, your money will do the business for you for sometime at least. But do not forget the importance of having some influential followers to your YouTube channel.

Possible Marijuana Grow House Catches Fire in Opa-locka
Categories: Crime
Fire fighters responded to the flame earlier this afternoon at the warehouse on 13791 NW 16 Avenue.
WSVN reports that they've found plenty of chemicals on the site associated with a hydroponics lab. They also found an "illegal mezzanine." Not sure what makes a mezzanine illegal, but apparently this particular mezzanine thumbs its mezza-nose at the law.

Read-Nest is a pre-fabricated structure, so no noise, scrap materials, wood dust or builders are necessary to build it. The tiny wooden box could land in any garden, forest or even an urban terrace, causing very little damage to the environment. Read-Nest is completely made from local and sustainable birch.
Vertical wooden boards were used on the outside and the interiors, including the square shelves and the foldable bed and table were built from the same species of plywood. Its design not only makes it flexible for transportation, its internal features could also be adapted to the owner's needs and personal tastes while optimizing space.

A Chat with Melissa d'Arabian
by Secretary Confidential in View All Posts, August 14th, 2009Melissa d'Arabian may be a Food Network Star, but let me tell you – she's as real as they come. Between hosting Ten Dollar Dinners and taking care of her four little girls, she's always on the move. Even still, she made time to chat with me about her new show, the big move to Seattle, and life after The Next Food Network Star.
Secretary Confidential: Can you give us a little sneak peek into Ten Dollar Dinners?
Melissa d'Arabian: I'm really excited about sharing my braised pork and black beans. That is actually a recipe from what I call "bean night," which is really "inexpensive protein night." At least one night a week I'll make something that incorporates budget ingredients, like pork shoulder and black beans. It's a great way to cut my grocery bill, but the dish still feels special. I used this recipe for a dinner party for 30 women and it cost me $58.
SC: What was it like watching the first episode of your own show?
MD: I watched it with my kids, which is half watching and half dealing with making sure everybody is happy in the living room. The funny thing is my kids kept saying, "It's just Mommy. Where is Jen? Mommy, where is Jamika? Where is Michael? Is Michael still in New York?" They wanted to know why it was just me, and it was fun trying to explain why. They asked me, "Where is Bobby Flay?" My 3-year-old, Charlotte, is convinced that Bobby Flay is her new best friend.
SC: Have you kept in touch with anyone from The Next Food Network Star?
MD: Absolutely! We all have an e-mail thread going. We all are sort of loosely keeping in touch. Jeffery, he is probably the person I'm in touch with the most because we spent so much time together. Absolutely. There is a bond that forms that no one else can really understand.
SC: You recently moved to Seattle – how's your new life there?
MD: If I could just get these boxes unpacked! It's crazy. Seattle is amazing. The people of Kirkland have been so amazing and so warm. This is a great city for food. I'm really enjoying getting to know the area and exploring the farmer's markets. We have a great market at the beach just near our house, and I'm really looking forward to exploring those flavors even more and incorporating them into some neat recipes.
SC: Why did you move to Seattle?
MD: It was such a source of excitement and speculation when we put our house up for sale. My neighbors were wondering, "Why are they moving? Did she win? Did she not win? What does this mean?" It was really just as simple as my husband got a great job offer.
SC: Have you had a moment when it suddenly dawns on you that you are a celebrity?
MD: Sometimes when I'm waiting in line at the store someone will come up and say, "Oh my goodness, the Food Network Star! Love your show!" So that's been a lot of fun, but what cracks me up is that people want to have their picture taken with me. Or sometimes people will recognize me from the show and they will come up to me and say "Hi, Melissa!" and my first thought is, "Did we go to high school together? How do we know each other?"
SC: What is the one piece of advice you would give to fans out there who dream of hosting their own show?
MD: I think one lesson that I learned throughout The Next Food Network Star is really looking to myself and thinking, "What do I bring to the table?" Why should I try to mimic somebody else or try to make up for the fact that I didn't go to culinary school? Instead, I really need to focus on what I have: my experiences as a stay-at-home mom, my experiences as a career woman, my experiences cutting my own grocery bill by more than half. So, I bring that to the table. I celebrate that. I call that playing a game I can win.
Be sure to catch new episodes of Ten Dollar Dinners. Sundays at 12:30pm/11:30c.

I am so happy you won Food Network Star. I have watched all of your shows and have learned new ways to prepare down to earth food. I love your little hints you give and I appreciate that your ingredients are common foods everyone has in their pantry. Way to go and good luck!

I watched her recent episode and, while the dishes sounded great, they were also only for those people who had hours at their disposal to cook. It doesn't work for me, but I'm sure there is a sizeable audience that it will work for. The braised pork shoulder was a three hour dish – only on a weekend, baby, and only when my daughter doesn't have dance.
I am trying to access the 4-step chicken video from the test pilot aired in the finale. I found the printed recipe, but the video makes it much easier and I am trying to get my husband to try the recipe. I was able to access it about a week ago, but cannot find it now. Is is still available on the site?
Love Melissa'a show. You can do $10.00 meals-do it all the time. Hope she gets to stay around a long time. We don't all like the same things on tv, that's what the OFF button is for. I don't care for Brian Boitano's show or Alton Brown's so I watch something else.Hooray for Melissa!
Hi Melissa. I love your show and congratulations on your accomplishments. My husband and I are fans of the FNS. We watch it throughout the day,evening, and nightime. You are truly wonderful in the kitchen and we appreciate your talent. There is just one thing my husband and I want to share with you and we hope you do not get offended in anyway. When speaking, you tend to say the words "my" alot. It sounds quite possessive. We noticed this word was said in almost every sentence of yours. We thought we might share this with you,only because we like you alot and that word is so annoying after a while,no offense,we all do it from time to time. But this is something we picked up and thought you may want to hear this coming from the heart. Certainly we hope you do not take it offensively. We like you alot. We love good food. And certainly like saving a few bucks here and there. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more of you. Good luck to you. Regards.
I just saw on Melissa's show page that she has been renewed! CONGRATS Melissa!
On another note, this website is a joke. "Intense Debates won't load because my browser is too slow". Well then, how did they load yesterday? Or with other blogs that I visit that use Intense Debates. This tells me it is the FN site that has problems, but we all knew that.
CONGRATULATIONS, MELISSA.! We were rooting for you. We have watched your new show several times. I have a couple of suggestions! STOP! saying 'my' carrots, 'my' potatoes, 'my, my, my'. You say this every time you add another ingredient. IE: "I'm putting MY potatoes into the pan with MY meat…..!" Just a silly suggestion, maybe, but it kind of bothers us and it can be easily fixed. My husband wishes that you didn't have to go to the cupboard every time you need an ingredient. He says, "Pauls has everything out and ready"…and he's right. Best wishes!!!
Melissa, I so look forward to your shows on Sunday. I tried your Pork Roast and it turned out Great. I was happy that you did win the show and I thought Jeffery was great also but I am a down to earth person that cooks with everyday seasonings and spices. With having the family of 8 I can relate on how to fix money saving meals. My children are grown now, but I still remember all those money saving meals you learn to put together to feed a large family. Melissa, you just keep on saying those word like "tasty", "yummy, and perfect because that is you!!!
I'm very happy you won. I was rooting for you all the way. You deserved and earned the win. I think the network is doing you an injustice, though, in a couple of ways. One is the limitation of the so-called $10 dinners. I think your talent is greater than that. The other is putting you (as a new show when you need the most exposure) in a time slot when most people are either getting ready for or in church. Oh, I guess there's one more thing, … why can't they give us some reruns of your shows at a later time, either during the week or whenever, replacing the 4 or five times I have nothing to watch but the constant repeats of "Iron Chef" or "Drive-ins and Dives" (per day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), etc.?Oh, and I want that pastry recipe you did on the show that got such rave reviews from the judges and the chefs. Better than the best they tasted even from expert pastry chefs.
Melissa you are doin' it girl ! Wishing you the best success ever. Love your recipe tips , they really rock.

1. Voyeurism
Éowyn pays little heed to Gríma, never so much as acknowledges his presence. She holds her back straight and strong, does not glance back at him. It is a common enough task, this nightly ritual, yet it still thrills him to watch her.
For Éowyn is a woman, and she cannot wholly hide her feminine graces behind her brusque demeanor. Gríma is captivated by the gentle curves beneath her gown, sees himself tracing hip and breast with finger and lips. He wonders how smooth and pale, how unblemished her skin must be under that heavy wool. His heart races at the thought of what he could do. The king is, after all, a dotard; Gríma could snake his hand 'round her waist, pull her back against him.
Éowyn knows he will be there, and still she comes. She has a rare courage about her, and Gríma loves her all the more for it. He will possess her some day, claim her, but never shall he break her.

An unprecedented five shark attacks have shut down Egypt's most-popular tourist destination.
Editor's note: GlobalPost featured this article in "Great Weekend Reads," a free compilation of the week's most colorful stories. To receive Great Weekend Reads by email, let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt — The balmy winter morning started like every other for Foad el-Gharib — with a quick dip in the warm, turquoise-blue water of the Red Sea outside his resort home in Coral Bay.
But something did not seem right.
Just before diving into the water, Foad heard muffled cries coming from a female in the distance. Looking up, he noticed a snorkeler flailing about helplessly along the reef wall.
She was 50 feet away and wore clouded goggles, but Foad could still see the panic in the woman's eyes. In a split second, she disappeared underwater. By the time she surfaced, screaming, the water around her was blood red. Waving for help, a single bone dangled from where her hand had once been attached to her arm.
That's when Foad caught a glimpse of her predator.
"A grey, medium-sized shark was swimming right next to the woman. And her hand was in the shark's mouth," the middle-aged businessman said. "Everyone on the beach was shocked when we started screaming 'shark!' Then people just got hysterical when they saw the woman's mangled body. I've been a diver for 20 years, but this was very, very scary."
It was the first shark attack on a swimmer in Sharm el-Sheikh in more than a year.
The rare incident, however, would not be the last — nor would it be the worst.
In less than a week, five separate attacks on foreign snorkelers and swimmers in Sharm — Egypt's most popular beach destination — has created a palpable sense of fear among tourists in the southern Sinai Peninsula.
The gruesome attacks are so uncommon that even experts and authorities are bewildered — one local leader even bizarrely asserted that Israel's spy agency could have planted the shark in Egypt's waters.
But beyond the dangers that lie beneath the water, it's an increasing hysteria on dry land among tourists and local businesses in Sharm, where millions of tourist dollars are spent each year, which authorities are trying so desperately to contain.
"There's absolutely no way I'm going in the water now. I'm way too scared," said Lisa, 28, who came to Sharm el-Sheikh from Manchester, England for a scuba diving vacation with her boyfriend Ryan. "We were just swimming in the same area as the last victim — that could have been us."
The nerves in Sharm first started rattling less than a week ago, when the string of shark attacks began.
On Dec. 1, two Russian women were severely injured from shark bites while snorkeling north of the main beaches in Sharm. The next day, a Ukrainian man and another Russian tourist suffered minor injuries resulting from shark bites, said Mohamed Dahe, the general manager of the local hospital.
Egyptian authorities responded by closing beaches to swimmers.
Boats and divers were sent on a hunt to find the killer — an oceanic white tip shark, according to officials and witnesses.
Forty-eight hours later, two sharks had been captured and killed. An autopsy proved that one of the two had been behind the attacks, according to authorities.
Beaches were reopened the following day, but the predator struck again.
This time, the victim, a 71-year-old German woman, was killed after being mauled in the legs.
"What's happening now in Sharm is very unique, but it's creating quite a scare. Unfortunately, it's turning into the Jaws scenario," said Jochen Van Lysebettens, manager of the Red Sea Diving College, referring to the 1975 Steven Spielberg film about a man-eating great white shark.
Shark attacks in Sharm, like elsewhere in the world, are extremely rare.
Only six unprovoked incidents — not including the most recent five — have been recorded in Egypt's Red Sea in the past decade, according to the International Shark Attack File at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

This week, Sharm's beaches, restaurants, and nightclubs were packed with foreign tourists waiting for an official explanation for the numerous shark attacks.
Authorities, for their part, appear baffled by the change in shark migratory patterns.
Several theories have been floated, from over-fishing to the illegal dumping of sheep carcasses from passing vessels, which might be causing a feeding frenzy in the Red Sea.
The oddest attempt may have come from the region's governor, Abdel-Fadeel Shosha, who recently said on state television that Israel's Mossad could have planted GPS-controlled sharks in Egypt's waters, according to the online portal of the government-funded Al-Ahram newspaper.
A team of American and Australian shark experts have been dispatched to Sharm to aid in the search for more conclusive answers.
The sudden increase in frequency is putting a pinch on local business, as Sharm's beaches are once again closed to most activities pending further investigation.
Van Lysebettens said that his dive shop could soon start losing half its daily average of 100 customers, forcing layoffs of instructors and other employees.
"It's been a sobering moment, for sure. The scare in our industry is pretty healthy right now," he said.

This is to prevent impersonation, rigging
For the first time, the 62-year old Election Commission has ordered the photographing of all voters of Manipur on January 28, when the State goes to the polls, in order to prevent rigging and impersonation.
Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi and Election Commissioners V.S. Sampath and H.S. Brahma took the decision on Thursday at Imphal, where they reviewed the poll preparedness with State government officials and representatives of political parties. The voters will be photographed when indelible ink mark is applied on the fingers. Manipur has an electorate of 16,77,270 spread over 60 constituencies.
On requests from political parties, the Commission replaced Director-General of Police Y. Joykumar Singh with Ratnakar Bral. Mr. Bral assumed charge immediately.
The Commission will visit Lucknow on Friday to review the poll preparedness for the seven-phase Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, beginning February 4. Besides reviewing the law and order and updating of the photo electoral rolls and ensuring strict implementation of the model code of conduct, the Commission will hold a meeting with the representatives of recognised political parties.
Notification issued
Meanwhile, the Governors of Punjab and Uttarakhand on Thursday issued notifications for the Assembly elections scheduled for January 30.
The last date for the filing of nominations is January 12.

How did your Halloween pictures turn out? Are you getting started on holiday shopping now that one more holiday is out of the way? This list of cameras shows you what visitors of DigitalCameraReview.com are looking at most often. The rankings are determined by the number of times a particular product page is viewed by our users. The rankings below are from the entire month of October 2006.
Between September and October, the number 2 and 3 spots were taken over by the Canon Powershot SD800 IS and Canon Powershot A710 IS, respectively. A third newcomer, the Canon Powershot A540, pushed out three cameras from last months list: Canon Digital Rebel XT, Canon Powershot A620, and Sony Alpha DSLR-A100.
For additional help while choosing a camera, you can register for our forums and ask as many questions as you want. If you're looking to buy, the best place to start is our Digital Camera Buying Suggestions forum. If you need help with your current camera, then we have forums for each brand that you can post in.
1. Canon Powershot SD600 (previously #1) - One of three new Digital ELPHs introduced last February, the SD600 features 6 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom, and a very nice 2.5 inch LCD. An MSRP of $349 makes this compact camera a pretty good buy. Canon Powershot SD600 Reviews | Canon Powershot SD600 User Opinions | |||
2. Canon Powershot SD800 IS (first time on top 10) - This 7.1 megapixel update to the Canon SD700 IS features the same image stabilization system and compact form factor. It features a new wider angle lens and new DIGIC III processor. Canon Powershot SD800 IS Reviews | Canon Powershot SD800 IS User Opinions | |||
3. Canon Powershot A710 IS (first time on top 10) - The A710 IS is the first camera in Canon's A series to include optical image stabilization. It shoots at 7.1 megapixels, has a mid-range 6x optical zoom,a 2.5 inch LCD, and manual exposure modes. Canon Powershot A710 IS Reviews | Canon Powershot A710 IS User Opinions | |||
4. Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 (previously #8) - The LX2 has lots of fun features that make it attractive. As with all Panasonic cameras, it has the MEGA O.I.S. image stabilization system. The LX2 features a wide-format 10.2 megapixel sensor, a wide-screen 2.8 inch LCD, a 4x optical zoom lens with a wide angle equivalent of 28mm. Panasonic Lumix DMC- | LX2 Reviews | Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 User Opinions | |||
5. Nikon D80 (previously #2) - The Nikon D80 is basically the upgrade to the D70s and occupies the pricking bracket right above the D50. It's one of those models that gets some of the features in its more expensive siblings, the D200 and D2Xs. The D80 can capture 10.2 megapixels, has a 2.5 inch, 230K pixel , LCD, 11 area auto focus system, and 3 frames per second shooting capability. Nikon D80 | Reviews | Nikon D80 User Opinions | |||
6. Canon Digital Rebel XTi (previously #10) - The XTi (also know as the EOS 400D) is Canon's replacement to the almost ubiquitous Canon Digital Rebel. The XTi features 10.1 megapixel resolution, a 2.5 inch, 230K pixel LCD, dust reduction system, and 9 point auto focus system. Also, a relief for some, the XTi still takes CompactFlash media. Canon Digital Rebel | XTi Reviews | Canon Digital Rebel XTi User Opinions | |||
7. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 (previously #4) - If you've followed Panasonic cameras much, you'll know that their FZ30, predecessor to the FZ50, was very popular. It's no surprise then, that this higher-end ultrazoom has made the list. The FZ50 takes 10.1 megapixel pictures with a stabilized 12x optical zoom. Frame your images on a flip-out, 2 inch LCD. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 Reviews | Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 User Opinions | |||
8. Canon Powershot S3 IS (previously #3) - Announced in February, the S3 IS is an update to the S2 IS. It features a 6 megapixel sensor, 2 inch flip out, rotating LCD, and a 12x stabilized optical zoom. Canon Powershot S3 IS Reviews | Canon | Powershot S3 IS User Opinions | |||

The likelihood of a call-up this year may be much slimmer than previously thought, though, especially with the way the current OF is playing and with Mather making it up recently.

HeidiAge: 25-34Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Good handling of intense themesFebruary 21, 2014HeidiAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This book was so much more than a sweet Amish romance. The powerful themes of grief, remorse, faith, adoption, unconditional love of a parent, and community brought a depth of emotion to the story. As one who doesn't enjoy being brought down by heavy themes, I'm appreciative that there was an underlying message of hope and promise throughout.
ruthhill74Yelm, WAAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Tricia At Her BestDecember 30, 2013ruthhill74Yelm, WAAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Promise Box, Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors Series #2.I realize that Amish books are all the rage, but as I was telling my mother, Tricia Goyer is one of the originals. Anyone can write an Amish book, but I believe it takes someone special to weave a memorable, emotionally involving Amish story that will stick with its readers for long after the book is shut. And Tricia Goyer is the author that does it again and again. I lost count of how many of her books I have read, and I believe I rated each one of them as a solid five. She has the formula for writing an amazing story, and I hope to be reading her stories for years to come.
This book is one that has the perfect amount of humor, faith, sorrow, and even a bit of mystery. I have to admit that although I could basically guess how the end would go, I was not one hundred percent certain. There was still just enough uncertainty to keep me guessing along the way. This book never comes across as "preachy," but I so appreciate the way she paints this wonderful community. It is clear that these Amish communities care more about a relationship with God than rules and regulations.
This book is entirely clean--no profanity and no sex. In addition to this, you can count on reading fairly quickly. The author's style is quite enjoyable to read, and you may just find putting down the book is next to impossible. I marveled at the devotion of the Amish people, and it was further intriguing that Lydia came back from Seattle (from the native Washingtonian).
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine. -
debwilsonSummerfield, FLAge: 18-24Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5December 21, 2013debwilsonSummerfield, FLAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Lydia Wyse is an Amish girl from Seattle who became a book editor for the English. She has returned to West Kootenai, Montana, to be there for her grieving father as they mourn a wonderful wife and mother. She is irrevocably drawn to a box that belonged to her mother, filled with prayers and scriptures. The familiarity of her upbringing brings many precious memories of a much different life to the surface. But then her publisher sees the opportunity to make a sensational 'tell-all' about the Amish through the eyes of Lydia.
Every year, young, Amish bachelors come to West Kootenai during the spring, live there for six months, and receive resident status to get a hunting license in the fall. They come single, and leave hitched. Gideon Hooley is one such Amish man, and he has every intention of leaving with a bride. Lydia seems like the one, except she seems to be struggling with the circumstances of her birth. Gideon has some secrets to hide. Will they be able to resolve the hurts of the past to enter a brighter future? Or will the secrets that should never have been hidden threaten to destroy them all?
While I loved this novel, the switch between "your" and yer" was a bit much. But other than that little disappointment, this was wonderful story! While there is so much Amish fiction out there (yes, it makes my head spin sometimes!) Goyer presents us with a thrilling installment in the Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors series. While the story line is not the most unique, there was plenty of tension between characters and all the quandaries they find themselves in. All in all, a great novel for fans of Amish fiction (die-hard, or otherwise) and anyone looking for a great summer read.
This book was provided by the publisher fore free in exchange for an honest review. -
Rhonda Nash-hallMadison Heights VAAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5The Best in SeriesNovember 29, 2013Rhonda Nash-hallMadison Heights VAAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Promise Box, Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors Series #2.Tricia Goyer has created an incredible, suspenseful romance that will lift the hearts of readers. As I read and waited with baited breath to find out the answer to the big question, another conflict was added and I did not want to put the book down. My heart went out to Lydia and Gideon. Lydia and Gideon both fear that they will never belong anywhere. I have certainly experienced the sting of rejection and abandonment so I could relate to the characters. I have read each of Tricia's books in the Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors' series and I personally felt that this book was the best in the entire series. I also am hoping that there is a book to follow this one as I am anxious to know what comes next for Gideon and Lydia. It would be nice to see her connect in a deeper way with her birth family.
I received a free kindle version of this book from booksneeze in exchange for my honest review. -
BekeSpringfield, MOAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Great story with a few twists along the way...October 30, 2013BekeSpringfield, MOAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Promise Box, Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors Series #2.I recently had the opportunity to review The Promise Box by Tricia Goyer.
The Promise Box is about a young woman, Lydia, who comes home to attend her mother's funeral. She was raised Amish, but left her community years ago for the Englisch life.
While she is home, Lydia discovers a box filled with prayers and scripture her mother left for her. As she starts to reevaluate her life, Lydia begins to question the choice she made to leave the Amish community in the first place.
Of course, there is Gideon. He is a young Amish man who has a story of his own. Over time Lydia and Gideon begin to fall in love with each other. But will their secrets keep them apart?
Dun Dun Dun!
I love those stories that have a little mystery and intrigue. I also love that Lydia, our heroine, is adopted. Being an adoptive parent myself, I had a soft spot in my heart for Lydia immediately. I also was extremely inspired by her mother's Promise Box.
This book was beautiful written. I also love that it is one I can pass on to my teenage nieces. Some romance novels are just a bit much. This had all the angst one must feel while reading a romantic story, but none of the "ickyness."
And of course, this book is sure to be a hit with all of those who love a good Amish novel. The Promise Box is actually a part of the Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors series. I look forward to reading more of Tricia's books.
I was excited to learn that Tricia Goyer is also a homeschooler. We strange homeschool people have to stick together. And I just want to know when she finds the time to write such awesome books! There are some days I can barely form two (if that) coherent sentences.
If you enjoy Christian Romance (especially about the Amish) I'm sure you will enjoy this book!
I received this book in exchange for my honest review from Booksneeze.

Teachers' pay to be deregulated
Teachers' pay will be linked to their performance in the classroom under plans announced by Chancellor George Osborne.
From next September, school staff will no longer receive automatic pay rises each year.
Instead schools will be allowed to decide on salary levels for teachers, who will get annual appraisals.
But there will still be a minimum and maximum level that a classroom teacher can be paid.
The proposals are effectively an almost complete deregulation of teachers' pay, and a move away from national pay structures.
The plans, revealed by Mr Osborne in his Autumn Statement, have been put forward by the School Teachers Review Body (STRB).
In his speech, Mr Osborne said: "The STRB does recommend much greater freedom to individual schools to set pay in line with performance.
"And my right honourable friend the Education Secretary will set out how this will be implemented."
The proposals cover pay for classroom teachers in England and Wales, and do not include school leaders such as headteachers and deputy or assistant heads.
Teaching unions have previously vowed to campaign against any attempt to remove national pay structures, arguing that such a move would cut teachers' salaries and leave some schools, especially those in deprived areas, struggling to recruit top staff.

I'm glad to hear of your wonderful experiance with Judo. I am also a judoka, i have been and active competetor for several years know. The number one thing I love about Judo and BJJ (never trained bjj only worked out with bjj guys) is that there is no bullshit in those arts. You either know it or you don't. You can't go around calling yourself a grandmaster of your own system. Once you step on that mat your skill level will speak for itself. -

Naprosyn (the old name for naproxen) happens to be one of those medications that is really harsh on the stomach. I had to stop taking it years ago.
I did a quick check and sure enough, there are some people who will suffer major stomach issues (e.g. bleeding stomach) if they combine those two particular things...so be cautious with that.

5 ways seniors can stay active
BY ANDY FRYE For Sun-Times Media
1) Walking. Whether you enjoy the quiet breeze of a suburban footpath or the lush skyline on Chicago's city lakeshore, getting out on foot is one of the best ways to enjoy a bright summer day. Early mornings and right before dusk are great times to enjoy cooler temperatures for a half-hour walk with your partner, family or friends. For those more adventurous walkers, Illinois state parks provide great scenic walks. Spots such as Illinois Beach State Park as well as Chain O'Lakes State Park in the Fox Lake area have several beautiful wooded trails for walking and biking, too.
2) Tai Chi. Even if you've never dabbled in eastern wellness or even thought before about martial arts, tai chi is an excellent low-impact way to move your body. The Taoist Tai Chi Society in Arlington Heights (and Chicago, too) runs classes for beginners as well as special workshops that demonstrate the ancient exercise art form. Tai chi is believed to improve balance and increase circulation, while also boosting concentration, composure, self-confidence and self-control.
3) Yoga. Yoga isn't for everyone, but the good news is different types suit different people. While dedicated yogis love to sweat their way through Bikram, or hot, yoga, most yoga studios throughout northern Illinois have easy, low intensity classes for normal people who just want to stretch and stay active. Like tai chi, yoga is known also to increase circulation and muscle strength, and you may even sleep better afterward.
4) Swimming. Swimming is a daily passion for adults of all ages in Germany and Scandinavia, but an underutilized form of recreation in the USA. Evanston's McGaw YMCA runs a low impact group for swimmers who prefer a lower intensity workout but still want to improve or maintain their fitness level. Similar swim programs are available at the Highland Park Aquatics Club and through the Wilmette Park District. Plus, almost every local swim club has both open pool and adult only swim sessions suited for active adults that want to go for a quick splash.
5) Playing with the grandkids. Sure, little kids like to run around the yard but that doesn't mean you have to run around after them. Your best bet may simply be being around your grandkids outdoors. Modest pleasures such as a trip to the playground or a round of mini golf are excellent ways to enjoy the company of family amidst the warmer weather and summer sunshine.

Confidentiality and disclosure
From experience we know that some students can find it difficult deciding whether to disclose that they have a disability or medical condition. There are many reasons for this; however you may be relieved to know that:
- there is no record of your disability on your academic transcript
- future employers will not be notified of your disability unless you tell them
- your information is kept confidential.
The University has policies in place which aim to protect and support students with disabilities and eliminate discrimination wherever possible. See your Rights and Responsibilities.
Students do not need to tell the University that they have a disability. However, if they require study adjustments or other support services they will be required to disclose this to relevant staff and provide supporting documentation about their disability, mental health or medical condition to the Disability Service. Students should contact a Disability Adviser to discuss any concerns regarding disclosure.
The following web resources provide more information about disclosure:

New ARM-Based Server From ZT Systems « Data Center Knowledge. Server vendor ZT Systems has announced a new server based on low-power processors from ARM, whose chips power many leading mobile devices.
The new R1801e is a 1U rackmount server powered by up to 16 ARM Cortex-A9 processor cores. When fully populated with an array of components the server has an impressively low power draw of less than 80 watts. Very Low-Cost, Low-Power Servers. I'm interested in low-cost, low-power servers and have been watching the emerging market for these systems since 2008 when I wrote CEMS: Low-Cost, Low-Power Servers for Internet Scale Services (paper, talk).
ZT Systems just announced the R1081e, a new ARM-based server with the following specs: · STMicroelectronics SPEAr 1310 with dual ARM® Cortex™-A9 cores · 1 GB of 1333MHz DDR3 ECC memory embedded · 1 GB of NAND Flash. Velocity 2010: James Hamilton, "Datacenter Infrastructure Innovation" AWS: Forget the Revenue, Did You See the Margins? Two days ago, two analysts from UBS – Brian Pitz and Brian Fitzgerald – projected Amazon Web Services revenues at $500 million. Many were disappointed, expecting more from the widely acknowledged market leader: a half a billion dollars is approximately what Microsoft spent per datacenter pre-2010.
Those who would focus on the actual revenue figure, however, are likely to miss the more important margin numbers. It has been long assumed that cloud computing – at least as currently practiced by the lower value add Infrastructure-as-a-Service practitioners – is a low margin business by enterprise infrastructure standards. Larger systems players such as HP and IBM have shown little appetite for the public cloud market in part because of this, depending on who you talk to. One senior executive I spoke with from a large systems vendor two years ago was blunt in his assessment of the prospects for a public cloud offering: "I don't want to be in the hosting business." James Hamilton. James is a Vice President and Distinguished Engineer on the Amazon Web Services team where he is focused on infrastructure efficiency, reliability, and scaling.
Prior to AWS, James was architect on the Microsoft Data Center Futures team and before that he was architect on the Live Platform Services team. Prior to that he was General Manager of the Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services team which was formed as part of the FrontBridge Technologies acquisition. He moved to the EHS team from his role as SQL Server Architect and leader of the SQL Server Security and Incubation Teams. He joined SQL Server during the 7.0 development cycle and over the years led various development teams including the SQL language compiler, query optimizer, query execution engine, DDL processing, metadata and catalog management, security, Server-side XML, network protocols, server-side cursors, full text search, and Common Language Runtime Integration.

From Goodreads: "The exciting, page-turning LAST episode of Kelley Armstrong's acclaimed, bestselling Women of the Otherworld series!Savannah Levine, a young witch of remarkable power and a dangerous pedigree, staggers away from a bomb blast in New Orleans, glad that she's managed to rescue her half-brother Bryce from the supernatural revolutionaries who'd held him captive. But everyone and everything she holds dear is still at risk. The reveal movement has shaken the Otherworld to its core and the resulting chaos has thinned the boundaries between dimensions, allowing creatures of the deeper realms to break through and wreak havoc on supernaturals but also on innocent humans.
Although she's been temporarily stripped her of her powers, Savannah knows she has a crucial part to play in this war of survival. In fact the fate of her loved ones--of Adam, the friend she hopes will become a lover; of Paige and Lucas, her guardians; of the werewolf Pack and Jaime Vegas; of a pregnant Hope; of her brothers Sean and Bryce--and of the human world rests on her shoulders. If she can find the way and the will to defend them.
Only in the final battle will Savannah find out her true capacities, and what lovewill drive her to do. In 13, Kelley Armstrong brings her powerful and unique saga to a deeply satisfying end: thrilling, surprising and harrowing."
Being a readaholic I have faced many of my most favourite series ending, but I just come to realize that I haven't been all that affected by them ending- it's just something I've learned to accept, not giving much thought to it. That is, until it came to this series. These characters, Clay, Elena, Jeremy, Paige, Lucas, Savannah, Hope, Karl, and the likes of have been my friends for a very, very long time (much longer than my current IRL friends). Not only have I seen the characters grow, from Savannah at 12 years old to 21 year old Savannah, but the birth of the twins, marriages, and the likes of, but they've also seen me grow. I can remember being sixteen years old and saving my allowance every week so that I could purchase these books. Now, at 22 years old, as you can imagine, I'm having difficulties letting them go (I'm not ashamed to admit that I am totally tearing up while writing this review, not unlike how I did when reading the last couple of chapters). I think that this is a testament to just how amazing of an author Kelley is- that she has created characters that her readers connect to on a level quite unlike what any author has been able to do (and now that I think about it, I can't even recall feeling this emotional when the "Harry Potter" series drew to a close- mainly because I was so turned off by the latter books).
Now onto the book itself. Admittedly I have never been an uber fan of Savannah, my heart has always belonged to the originals- Elena, Paige, and Jamie. However, I really started to come around to Savannah in the previous book, "Spellbound". I think that was in part to her changing relationship with Adam- I have rooted for them almost as much as I did for Elena/ Clay, Hope/ Karl and Jeremy/ Jamie, but also because of her growth, learning that her powers didn't define her (not unlike that now clique saying, "It's not powers that define a person, but what they do with those powers"). As a result of, this book was one of my most favourite in the series (probably ranked around the 5th or 6th- not bad out of a 13 book series).
Another aspect of this book that I enjoyed was the changing perspectives (which is quite shocking as changing POVs usually drives me batty) and seeing all of the characters come back for a sort of last hurrah, of sorts, from the aforementioned characters to Sean, Benico, Kristof- hell, even Troy. That being said, I loved that Kelley didn't just throw in a character for the sake of doing so, to appease her readers, each character played a specific role and they did so to a tee.
All in all, I cannot say enough good things about this book, nor this series. I think that this is one that everyone should experience for themselves (and now you don't have an excuse not to, considering all 13 books are now available ;) ). For me personally this is a world that I continuing coming back to time and time again.
