'Tennessee Waltz' Singer Patti Page Dead
Thursday, January 3, 2013
The famous voice of the "Tennessee Waltz," Patti Page, died on Tuesday (January 1st) in Encinitas, California at the age of 85. According to the AP, Page was the most successful female singer of the 1950s, selling 100 million records.
Page is also known for her hits "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window," "With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming," "Would I Love You" and "Mockingbird Hill."
Born Clara Ann Fowler, Page was a Grammy-winner and received a Pioneer award from the Academy of Country Music. She was also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and was set to be honored with the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award next month.
George Jones issued a statement saying, "I just loved singing with Patti and she hit notes I never dreamed of! We cut some songs together and it was a great time. She'll be missed by lots of folks and everybody needs to know how great she was. Patti was a wonderful singer with a real special voice."
Page's cause of death has not been revealed.
At press time, funeral details were pending.

Minestrone Soup with Sausage and Squash
I had been wanting to make minestrone soup for a while when I came across this version which looked really good. This minestrone soup included sausage, squash and a ton of fresh herbs. I knew that I would use spicy Italian sausage and I though that the sweet butternut squash would go nicely with the sausage. The minestrone soup turned out really good! It was full of flavour and super tasty. The spicy Italian sausage and the red pepper flakes gave the soup a nice heat. I enjoyed the ministrone soup with this cheesy garlic toast.
1 pound Italian sausage (casings removed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 carrots (chopped)
2 stalks celery (chopped)
8 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
1 28 ounce can diced plum tomatoes
2 19 ounce can cannelloni beads (rinsed and drained)
1 pound butternut squash (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 tablespoon rosemary (chopped)
1 tablespoon thyme (chopped)
6 sage leaves (chopped)
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 parmigiano reggiano rind (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound small rigatoni
1 handful parsley (chopped)
1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large stock pot and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in the same pan.
3. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the carrots and celery and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Add the stock, tomatoes, cannelloni beans, squash, rosemary, thyme, sage, bay leaves, red pepper flakes, parmigiano reggiano rind. salt and pepper and simmer for 20 minutes.
7. Cook the rigatoni while the soup is simmering.
8. Add the rigatoni and parsley and turn off the heat.

I would say the main reason for the free radeon drivers, if you want to give them some specific technical objective, is to have a mainline kernel driver for the cards that offer out of the box support and better legacy compatibility. Mode setting and 2D are of course a part of this, but that does not minimize the other work.

Since nobody explicitly meantioned it already:
AMD team is on good track. They publish their drivers for new hardware, earlier and earlier with each generation. (7xxx was victim of new architecture and 8xxx which could be served in time!)
So for 9xxx there will be good support BEFORE release. That mean many thing:
1) AMD folks will have more time, since they will not have to start work on next gen hw, right away.
2) AMD folks will have more time, since they will not have to deal with hw bugs on their own, since Catalyst team will be also interested in resolving them.
3) AMD folks will be "more productive", since they will release code in smaller packages, but for longer time spans. (Now its big pushes for each hw)
4) AMD folks will be "more productive", since they priority number one "get pre-release support done!" will take less time, leaving them more time on pushing new OpenGL stuff.
5) AMD folks will be "more productive", since they will be able to molest their legal department more often for permission to release various bits and pieces.
Hmm. Its time to see how my 5720M is doing with r600g
PS Do not school Michael for his messy understanding of the state of radeonSI. Grab PTS and upload some test results to OpenBenchmarking.org. And send him links :P (Or share on MESA mailing list, since he have some automated spiders tracking such stuff )
I do not question AMD mesa/gallium developer abilities, I don't think anybody here can say they do not do stelar work. R600g is already a very good driver, probably as good as or even better than intel's, IP issues aside.
The problem lies exactly in the IP issues. I question AMD management's commitment to the open drivers and linux support in general (specially in the consumer space), and how far are they prepared to go to provide proper consumer ready, feature complete bug free linux support of their products. Currently, my understanding is that it is pretty much up to the mesa/gallium devs to write some magical code that is able to perform as desired without revealing any compromising IP. Maybe they will be able to do that, maybe not. Maybe this can only be properly resolved by some other route, such renegociating the license contract with whatever third party IP provider they have, buying said IP, buying the IP holder or release it and risk going to court. But that is outside of the scope of the devs.
Some of these options are probably completely absurd. But the worse possible alternative is that all of them are, and that only leaves avoid using such IP in future generations, but that will not help current cards. The most we can expect is fomr them is to honestly confirm that features X, Y and Z canot be supported for generations xxx-xxx due to such IP licensing issues. That has been pretty much done for UVD for example.
What astonishes me is that according to brigdman AMD sees mesa/gallium as the way to go to support consumer GPUs, so fglrx is only a temporary solution, but at the same time, they cannot honestly say that we will be able to see a mesa/gallium feature complete driver in the next 5 yearss. fglrx shouldn't be expected to properly work also (also not feature complete). So what we conclude from that is that for AMD's management, consumer GPU linux support is not even an afterthought. They are pretty much betting all their coins on windows (in the consumer space). That has been a safe bet for the last 25 years, but I personaly do not see a future where windows continues to be only consumer operating system with a decent marketshare. To me, the mobile revolution is much more than simply smartphones and tablets, it is about these quirky, goodlooking and userfriendly OSes that are light, portable and flexible enough to be in every device, providing you with as much information and as much configurability as possible to extract the most from our devices. This resembles a lot AMD's vision of "surround computing", but it is hardly compatible with MS business. Android is what it is today because people are releasing consoles, watches, robots, toaters, fridges, god knows what running the OS, MS cannot compete with that. Will they have some space in next 5-10 years? Sure! Will windows still be the dominant OS? well, hard to say...
Does 2d on glamor still tear?
Um... no. What I said was that I saw fglrx as the way to go for 3D workstation, and that I expected a mix of driver usage for consumer.

Help:Bypass your cacheTalk0
In order to increase page load speed and save bandwidth when you visit Wikia, your web browser is instructed to save the current view of the page. This is called your "cache". Normally, revisiting the cached page, or clicking "Refresh" or "Reload", will cause the browser to ask the website if there is a newer version available. Sometimes though, you will view the older, cached version of the page even when a newer one is available. This can be frustrating if a change has recently been made to the page.
In order to ensure you're getting the latest version of the page you can bypass your cache. Bypassing your cache helps you to get the most recent version of a page, which will often clear errors you may see. This process is also sometimes called a hard refresh.
When to Bypass your cache
You will need to bypass your cache if you have made changes to:
- A CSS page (personal or wikia-level).
- A JS page.
- The wikia favicon.
You may need to update your cache in other cases, such as updates to images, or to clear a "broken" page view. Generally, if you see anything "funny" or not changing it is worth trying to clear your browser cache to see if it resolves the issue.
How to Bypass your Cache
For most browsers bypassing the cache is simple. Below are some browser-specific ways to bypass your cache.
Internet Explorer
- Hold the Control key, and press F5.
- Hold the Control key, and click the Refresh button on the Start bar.
Mozilla family
This includes Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Navigator and SeaMonkey. If using these products on a Mac, use the Cmd key instead of Ctrl.
- Hold both Shift and Ctrl and press R.
- Hold down the Control key, and press F5.
- Hold down the Shift key, and click the Reload button on the navigation toolbar.
For version 4 and newer:
- Hold down the Shift key and click the Reload toolbar button.
For version 3 and older:
- Hold down the Cmd key, and press R. This kind of regular reload will usually bypass the cache.
(Tip: If you're using a Mac and you're using Safari, go to Safari > Empty Cache, press Empty and refresh your page.)
Google Chrome
- On Windows: Hold the Ctrl and Shift keys and press the R key.
- On OS X: Hold the Cmd and Shift keys and press the R key.
Before version 11.62, Opera did not have an option to forcibly bypass the cache, so if a normal refresh does not seem to work, you may want to try one of the following:
- Empty the browser cache completely
- Click edit this page, and save the page without making any modifications (this doesn't affect the page history).
In versions of Opera from 11.62:
- Hold Ctrl or Shift and press F5.
Other Browsers
- Please see the browser's website or help pages for further instructions.
Forcing the server to re-render
Bypassing your own cache might not be enough if the updated content is not being properly displayed or is contained in a template or other transcluded page. You may need to purge the server cache of old versions of the page in order for the new material to be visible.

UTHSC Startup Launches First Product (January 7, 2014)
In an effort to better engage her students in a post-clinical conference, Dr. Hallie Bensinger, an advanced practice nurse and instructor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), found herself strolling through the aisles of a school supply store on Easter weekend of 2010 hoping to find fake money to hand out in a Jeopardy-style PowerPoint lecture she was preparing. What she found instead were dice that when rolled formed stories or sentences, and just like that, the idea for "What Would Socrates Think?" came into being.
"What Would Socrates Think?" is a critical thinking game designed to challenge students with unpredictable and constantly changing patient case scenarios. The game requires students to think through problems, accounting for the patient's pathophysiology, pharmacology, labs, vital signs, chief complaint and changing situation in order to win award cards. An instructor facilitates game play by encouraging questions and discussion. "You have to really pull from what you know and think on your feet. The game presents a variety of unpredictable patient scenarios just like you see on the floor," Bensinger said. "I've personally used it with more than 100 students, and the response has been great."

2013 Cashdollar Distinguished Visiting Professorship (November 13, 2013)
The William T. Cashdollar Distinguished Visiting Professorship was created through the caring concern of his wife, Mrs. Kathy Cashdollar, as she experienced the dying of her husband. During his final illness, she observed the extreme difficulties involved in caring for him when he was no longer able to communicate. She decided then to develop a lectureship that would help healthcare providers minister to the needs of dying persons and their families, as well as to their fellow professionals who provide the care. Each November, the College of Nursing hosts a unique speaker to discuss and present end of life care topics.
Dr. Sally Okun Presents Language Matters In Palliative And End Of Life Care
On November 8th, Dr. Sally Okun spoke on the topic of language in palliative care. "The words we use when communicating with others are key to mutual understanding. Yet, each of us brings our own perspective, perception and interpretation to words so the language we use can often have different meaning to different people. These nuances are important when we consider the language of health – a language historically the domain of doctors, nurses, scientists and researchers. It is a language perfectly inadequate for meaningful communication between clinicians and patients especially in conversations about advance care planning, palliative and end of life care. This talk explores how we can humanize the language of health with the voice of the patient."

It's Worth The Work You Put In (October 7, 2013)
Dr. Sherry Webb's Nursing Leadership class recently received a visit from two former students Alicia Scarborough and Huong Tran. These May 2013 graduates of UTHSC's Nursing MSN-CNL program spoke plainly about the truth of their new careers as nurses in the OR. Short answer: It's worth the work you put in.
When asked about how their experience at UT has an impact in their workplace, Alicia responded, "Everything you learn in your work here at UT is what sets you apart from other nurses in the field... You are a cut above the rest. The requirements for what you learn [compared to] what you actually get from other programs is entirely different." Tran added "Don't lose sight of what you came to school for. You are the future leaders of nursing." Alicia and Tran are both nurses in the OR at Baptist.
Think Global Act Local (November 3, 2013)
Drs. Pat Speck (left) and Lisa Campbell (right) in Boston for the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association.
Former University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) College of Nursing student Dr. Lisa Campbell (class of 2011) gives a poster presentation of her findings on Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) peer counselor contact with first time breastfeeding mothers to the "Think Global Act Local" annual meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA) in Boston on November 3rd, 2013. Campbell's research was designed to determine whether singleton women who had not previously breastfed and who had a WIC peer counselor were more likely to initiate breastfeeding than women not exposed to the WIC peer counselor. Her research suggests women's decisions to initiate breastfeeding is significantly associated with WIC peer counselor contacts. Campbell and her colleagues, UTHSC faculty Drs. Jim Wan, Patricia Speck, and Margaret Hartig, have their work on this research published in Public Health Nursing.

Plantation mistress Amanda Satterfield's intense grief over losing her daughter crosses the line into madness when she takes a newborn slave child as her own and names her Granada. Troubled by his wife's disturbing mental state and concerned about a mysterious plague that is sweeping through the plantation's slave quarters, Master Satterfield purchases Polly Shine, a slave woman known as a healer who immediately senses a spark of the same gift in Granada. Soon, a domestic battle of wills begins, leading to a tragedy that weaves together three generations of strong Southern women.
Rich in mood and atmosphere, The Healing is a powerful, warmhearted novel about unbreakable bonds and the power of story to heal.
Ella was awake when she heard the first timid knock at the cabin door. Her husband, who lay beside her on the corn-shuck mattress, snored undisturbed. She kept still as well, not wanting to wake the newborn that slept in the crook of her arm. The baby had cried most of the night and had only just settled into a fitful sleep. Ella couldn't blame the girl for being miserable. The room was intolerably hot.
Like everybody else in the quarter, Ella believed the cholera was carried by foul nocturnal vapors arising from the surrounding swamp, so she and Thomas kept their shutters and doors closed tight against the night air, doing their best to protect their daughter from the killing disease that had already taken so many.
The rapping on the door became more insistent. Ella pushed against Thomas with her foot. On the second shove he awoke with a snort.
"Thomas! See to the door," she whispered, "and mind Yewande."
Wearing only a pair of cotton trousers, Thomas eased himself from the bed and crossed the room. He lifted the bar and pulled open the door, but his broad muscled back blocked the visitors' faces. From the flickering glare cast around her husband, Ella could tell one of the callers held a lantern.
"Thomas," came the familiar voice, "get Ella up."
Ella started at the words. It was Sylvie, the master's cook. The woman lived all the way up at the mansion and would have no good reason to be out this time of night unless it was something bad.
"Now?" Thomas whispered. "She's sleeping."
"She needs to carry her baby up to the master's house," Sylvie said. "Ella got to make haste on it. Mistress Amanda is waiting on her."
"What she wanting with my woman and child in the dead of night?" Ella heard the alarm rising in her husband's voice.
"Thomas, you know it ain't neither night nor day for Mistress Amanda. She ain't slept a wink since the funeral. And she's grieving particular bad tonight. Her medicine don't calm her down no more. She ain't in no mood to be trifled with."
"Old Silas," Thomas pled to another unseen caller, "you tell the mistress that Ella will come by tomorrow, early in the morning." Then he dropped his voice to a hush. "You know the mistress ain't right in her head."
Old Silas had more pull than anybody with the master, but from the lack of response, Ella imagined Silas's gray head, weathered skin stretched tight over his skull, shaking solemnly.
Thomas let go a deep breath and then turned back to his wife. Behind him, Ella could hear the talk as it continued between the couple outside.
"You know good and well she didn't say to fetch Ella," Old Silas whispered harshly to his wife. "Just the baby, she said. What's in your head?"
"Shush!" Aunt Sylvie fussed. "You didn't see what I seen. I know what I'm doing."
Ella met them at the door holding the swaddled infant. Not yet fourteen, Ella wore a ripped cotton shift cut low for nursing, and even in the heat of the cabin, she trembled. The yellow light lit the faces of the cook and her husband.
"What she want with Yewande?" Ella whimpered. "What she going to do to my baby?"
"Ella, she ain't going to hurt your baby," Sylvie assured. "Mistress wouldn't do that for the world."
"But why—"
Old Silas reached out and laid a gentle hand on Ella's shoulder. "I expect she wants to name your girl, is all." His voice was firm but comforting. He spoke more like the master than any slave. "That right, Sylvie?"
"Of course!" Sylvie said, as if hearing the explanation for the first time. "I expect that's all it is. Mistress Amanda wants to name your girl."
"But Master Ben names the children," Ella argued.
"You heard what the master said," Sylvie fussed. "Things got to change. We all got to mind her wishes until she comes through this thing. No use fighting it."
Silas's tone was kinder. "Mistress has taken an interest in your child from the start," he explained. "Her Becky passed the very hour your girl was born. I suppose their souls might have touched, one coming and the other leaving. No doubt that's why the mistress thinks your child so special. Every time the mistress hears your baby cry, she asks after Yewande's health."
Ella pulled the child closer to her breast and set her mouth to protest.
"Ella, don't make a fuss," Sylvie said impatiently. "Just do what she says tonight. Anything in the world to calm her down. Nobody getting any rest until she do. Let her name your baby if she has a mind. She been taking so much medicine, she'll forget her own name by morning."
Ella saw the resoluteness in the faces of the couple. She finally gave a trembling nod.
As the three walked down the lane of cabins, they passed smoldering heaps of pine and cypress, attempts by the inhabitants to purify the air and keep the mosquitoes at bay. The acrid, suffocating smoke seemed to travel with the little group, enveloping them in a cloud that seared the lungs. Up in the distance, the lights in the great house came into view. No words were spoken as Sylvie, ever crisp and efficient, walked beside Ella while Silas lit the path.
It was Old Silas whom the master had first sent down to the quarters days ago with the news of Miss Becky's death. Ella remembered how odd Silas's little speech had been.
"Miss Becky has passed of a summer fever," he said, "not the cholera, understand? If any of those who come to pay respects should ask you, that is what you are to say. It was a summer fever that took Miss Becky. Don't say a word more."
Someone had asked Silas why they had to lie. It was known to everyone on the plantation that the girl had come down with the same sickness that had killed nearly two dozen of his field hands. Sylvie had already let it be known that she had watched Miss Becky suffering in her four-poster bed, halfway to heaven on her feather mattress. Sylvie had witnessed the sudden nausea and the involuntary discharges that didn't let up through the entire night. She had seen the girl's eyes, once the color of new violets, go dim and sink deep into their sockets, her face looking more like that of an ancient woman exhausted by life than a twelve-year-old girl. From what Sylvie had said, Miss Becky's dying had been no different than their own children's.
Before answering the question, Silas jawed the chaw of tobacco to his other cheek. "He's doing it to protect Miss Becky's good name. Master says the cholera is not a quality disease. The highborn don't come down with such. Especially no innocent twelve-year-old white girl." Silas put two fingers up to his mouth and let go a stream of brown juice.
A dark laughter rippled through the survivors who stood there, all of whom had lost family or friends. What Silas wouldn't say, Sylvie made sure the others knew. She said the master was so afraid of what his neighbors thought he had refused to send to Delphi for the doctor lest the news get out that Miss Becky had caught a sickness so foul that it was reserved for Negroes and the Irish. He had stood there and watched while the girl's breathing became so faint it didn't even disturb the fine linen sheet that covered her. He ranted about how Rubina, Becky's constant companion and the daughter of a house slave, was healthy as a colt. "There is no way," he swore, "the cholera would pass over a slave and strike down a white girl!"
Sylvie remembered the mistress's face when her husband has said that. The cook had never seen that much agony in a white person's eyes.
When all hope was lost, the master finally turned his back on his wife and daughter and home, leaving Becky to lie motionless, shrouded by the embroidered canopy of pink-and-white roses; Mistress Amanda to witness alone the inevitable end; and little Rubina to sob outside her dying playmate's room. He rounded up a work gang and several bottles of whiskey, saddled his horse, and hightailed it out to the swamps to burn more Delta acreage.
"I guess that's the white man's way," Sylvie had told them all, disgusted. "Lose a child, sire more land."
That's when the mistress's mind finally broke. At first she wanted to have little Rubina whipped and her wounds salted, sure the girl had given her daughter the disease. But soon enough she relented. It was clear that she couldn't hurt Becky's friend. Mistress Amanda's crazed search for blame finally settled on her husband. She cursed him night and day and threw china dishes against the wall. When Master Ben sent for some medicine to calm her, she swallowed all she could get her hands on. Anyway, that's what those who worked in the house said.
Sylvie reached her arm around the young mother's shoulder. Ella felt sure it was as much to keep her from bolting as it was to comfort her. Not that Ella hadn't thought about running off with her baby into the darkness and hiding in the swamps, waiting out the mistress's memory. But nobody had ever survived for more than two days out in the swamps.
Even if she did make it past two days, it was no guarantee the mistress would come to her senses. Since the day of the funeral, the mistress's silhouette could be seen through her bedroom window at all times of night, her arms animated, her fists shaking accusingly at nobody.
Ella didn't know what happened first, Sylvie's grip tightening to a bruising clench or the gunshot that seemed to crack right over her head. The small procession halted and they all gazed up at the house.
"Lord, what she done now?" Sylvie said.
While they watched, Master Ben came storming down the back steps from the upstairs gallery in his nightshirt and bare feet, dragging his bed linen behind him.
"It's about time y'all got here. She's about to hunt you down and she's got her daddy's derringer."
The group stepped aside to let him pass. "My advice," he grumbled without looking back, "is to hurry up before she reloads."
"God be great," Sylvie said under her breath. "I wish she would go ahead and shoot the man so we could all get some peace."

"Compelling, tragic, comic, tender and mystical. . . . Combines the historical significance of Kathryn Stockett's The Help with the wisdom of Toni Morrison's Beloved." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"A terrific novel that will take its place in the distinguished pantheon of Southern fiction…. Polly Shine is a character for the ages." —Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides
"A storytelling tour de force." —Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Jonathan Odell won me over with his fresh take on an 1860's Mississippi plantation, and the connective power of story to heal body, mind and community." —Lalita Tademy, author of Cane River
"A remarkable rite-of-passage novel with an unforgettable character. . . . The Healing transcends any clichés of the genre with its captivating, at times almost lyrical, prose; its firm grasp of history; vivid scenes; and vital, fully realized people, particularly the slaves with their many shades of color and modes of survival." —Associated Press
"Odell gives voice to strong women at a time in history when their strength might have been their undoing. When Polly Shine's fierce knowledge comes up against Granada's stubborn resistance, the reader is held captive as the two attempt to resolve their conflict and Granada is made to face her destiny. This moving story is a must-read for fans of historical fiction." —Kathleen Grissom, author of The Kitchen House
"A haunting tale of Southern fiction peopled with vivid and inspiring personalities. . . . Polly Shine is an unforgettable character who shows how the power and determination of one woman can inspire and transform the lives of those around her." —Bookreporter
"Jonathan Odell finds the right words, using the language of the day, its idiom and its music to great advantage in a compelling work that can stand up to The Help in the pantheon of Southern literature." —Shelf Awareness
"Odell has written one of those beautiful Southern tales with unforgettable characters. Required reading." —New York Post

"Rich in character and incident." —Publishers Weekly
"The Healing is a moving cri de coeur for all those who yearn to be free, and for the wise women among us who understand that to subjugate one person is to subjugate all of humanity."
—Robin Oliveira, author of My Name if Mary Sutter
1. How does Polly Shine's approach to medical treatment differ from that of the white doctors who previously treated the Satterfield slaves? What does she mean when she says, "The magic weren't in the food. It was in the seeing"? Does the way a doctor sees his or her patients determine the prescribed treatment? In your experience, how important is the personal connection between doctor and patient?
2. Many popular works that address interracial relationships rely on a formula of a benevolent white savior empowering downtrodden blacks. Can you think of any books or films that employ this trope? What would Polly Shine say about this? How would she react to history books that claim that African Americans were "given" their freedom, or "given" the right to vote?
3. The "magic negro," who, by use of special insight or powers helps the white protagonist, is a supporting archetype in fiction. Can you think of any examples of this stock character in other works? Does Polly Shine perpetuate the stereotype of the magic negro, or dispel it?
4. Of what significance are role models in The Healing? How important is it for children to see a reflection of themselves in the powerful and successful people around them?
5. In his research for The Healing, Jonathan Odell consulted an oral history project conducted by the WPA in the 1930s in which thousands of surviving former slaves were interviewed. There were some who said that given the poverty, discrimination, and random brutality they had experienced in the twentieth century, they wished they were still slaves under their old masters. Indeed, Master Satterfield in The Healing is not stereotypically cruel. Are there any instances when he seems sympathetic to his slaves? Does servitude under a kind tyrant make such a system less objectionable or more?
6. Gran Gran tells Violet, "After Freedom, everybody all of a sudden had to decide where he or she belonged. Nobody to tell them no more. Wasn't easy for some of us. . . . Some of us picked wrong, I reckon." What does she mean? How do the other Satterfield slaves satisfy their need for belonging after freedom? What choice does Silas make? Sylvie? Chester?
7. When Rubina turns to Polly for an abortion, the question arises of who has authority over Rubina's body—the slave master, God, the people, or Rubina herself. Do you think Polly makes the right decision? After 150 years, how does this issue still surface in American life?
8. In the 1950s the medical establishment began a coordinated campaign to discredit midwives, who were still the major health-care providers to rural black women in the South. Yet years after the medical establishment won the battle, statistics showed that in many instances the live birth rate was higher among the black midwives than under the white, professionally trained doctors who replaced them. Why do you think this was so?
9. Polly talks about a "two-headed snake of Freedom" that will bite not only the Master, but the slave as well. What does she mean? And do the events of the novel play out this way?
10. Why doesn't Polly take Granada with her? Do you agree with her decision?
11. What role does storytelling play in The Healing? How does it influence individuals, communities, and nations? How does the concept of "story" apply to contemporary methods of healing?

This is a beautiful spot but I would never return and I strongly advise people not to go here.
The park manager is incredibly rude and we were astounded that we could ever be spoken to in the way we were (especially by the older guy).
Please note that they lock the gate at 7pm. We got stuck in traffic and arrived at 830 - they woudn't let us in in spite of us calling to let them know we were going to be late - we almost had to beg someone to come and unlock the gate after a 4 hour journey.
We then tried to rent a canoe for the day - the old guy's response and I quote "do you stupid people ever take note of the weather" !!! We only wanted to go out for a few hours and we knew that the weather was going to turn bad bad this type of response is totally unacceptable.
These people need to remember that they are in the hospitality industry and a number of campers that we got to know echoed our sentiments - no wonder the place was mostly empty and unless they change their ways - they may well find that they only have themselves for company!!
There is another campsite down the road which is smaller but much better - I'd go there

It's a brand new year! A fresh start. A clean slate. A chance to turn things around. So what do we need? Resolutions of course! From changing our diet, to embracing life's little moments, or mending strained relationships, resolutions are a wonderful way to make you feel amazing for the first two weeks of the year. And for our favorite pop culture characters, this new beginning is the perfect way to fix the messes they made in 2012. As the winter TV premieres draw closer, we at Hollywood.com have channeled the thoughts of our most beloved (and flawed) characters to share with you their resolutions for 2013. Read on for all the confetti-filled commitments from Leslie Knope, Jack Donaghy, Mariah Carey and many more!
Leanne Aguilera's Picks:
Rachel Berry (Glee): I resolve to stop acting like an overly sexual wannabe, fighting with my teachers, and flirting with Brody. I resolve to call Finn more and realize that I can achieve my big city dreams and have a wonderful relationship at the same time. I also resolve to bring back knee socks.
Oliver Queen (Arrow): I resolve to continue making my father proud and take down the criminals of Starling City. But more importantly, I resolve to continue making millions of women swoon with my chiseled abs, huge biceps, and sexy man-scruff.
Penny (The Big Bang Theory): I resolve to realize that Leonard is the greatest boyfriend I am ever going to have and to tell him I love him at least once a week. Okay maybe once every two weeks. Oh and I resolve to (eventually) stop working at The Cheesecake Factory.
Kate Ward's Picks:
Mariah Carey (American Idol): "I will not encourage Nicki Minaj, I will not encourage Nicki Minaj, I will not encourage Nicki Minaj." Mariah Carey, please tell yourself this every day and promise us that you will not provoke your hot-headed fellow American Idol judge into another televised screaming fit in 2013. All we want for Christmas is for you to help American Idol continue to be the only singing reality series left about the contestants, not the judges.
Abbey Stone's Picks:
Walter White Jr. (Breaking Bad): In 2013, I resolved to eat three square meals a day. All foods cannot be breakfast foods.
Leslie Knope (Parks and Rec): I resolve to renew my library card. Just kidding! I will never step foot in a library.
Aly Semigran's Picks:
The Walking Dead Cast: The cast of Walking Dead should revolve to stop eating their showrunners.
Michael Arbeiter's Picks:
Dave Rose (Happy Endings): I resolve to cut down my v-neck usage to only three v's per day.
Michonne (The Walking Dead): I resolve to work on my people skills.
Ted Mosby (HIMYM): I resolve to get to the end already.
Sydney Bucksbaum's Picks:
Zoey Hart (Hart of Dixie): I will be happy in my relationship with Wade, and not think about George Tucker, or how much I love George Tucker, or how much I want to marry George Tucker, or how perfect I am for George Tucker, or George Tucker's beautiful smile… wait, who's Wade again?
The CW: We will give our freshman series at least a full season before making the final judgment call so we won't make the "Emily Owens MD" mistake again… (I'm not still bitter, or anything…)
Christian Blauvelt's Picks:
Troy Barnes (Community): I resolve to spend less time in the Dreamatorium.
Abed Nadir (Community): I resolve to spend more time in the Dreamatorium.
Shaunna Murphy's Picks:
Entire Miami Metro Dept (Dexter): We resolve to finally get good at our jobs and after seven seasons, catch a serial killer.
Britney Spears (The X Factor): I resolve to learn more adjectives that aren't "amazing" for next season of X Factor.
Carrie Matheson and Deborah Morgan (Homeland/Dexter): I will buy a "cuss jar" and put a quarter in it every time I say "f--k"
Lindsey DiMattina's Picks:
Regina Mills (Once Upon a Time): I swear not to use magic for evil ever again.
Dexter Morgan (Dexter): I will not murder anyone else that does not fit the code.
Alicia Lutes' Picks:
Ron Swanson (Parks and Rec): Ron Swanson does not make resolutions because he is a man run by rational thought, free of emotions (unless you're at a funeral, or the Grand Canyon). Ron Swanson will eat all of the breakfast meats he likes in 2013 because big, grandiose ideas and declarations are as useful to him as big government.
Miami Citizens (Dexter): Similarly to Shaunna's, everyone in the fictional Miami of Dexter should resolve to move, because—damn, that's a lot of serial killers in your town.
Lady Edith (Downton Abbey): I resolve to take up knitting to prepare for my inevitable life of spinsterdom.
Jack Donaghy (30 Rock): I resolve to stay handsome and continue tailoring my suits.
Taylor Swift: I resolve to be less surprised when I win every single award on the planet.

The town of Fort Myers Beach rests peacefully on a barrier island located just south of Fort Myers, Fla., and presents visitors with a myriad of excellent excursions and attractions. The island boasts a rich history that dates back more than 2,000 years when the Calusa Native American tribe first began to construct shell mounds along the bayside of the isle. The Calusa Nation resisted the earliest Spanish colonization efforts throughout the 16th century, but later succumbed to rising hostilities, disease and political upheavals brought on by European settlers 150 years after their arrival. Development on the island was a slow-going effort, and the town itself was not incorporated until the mid-1990s.
Today, the town has become a popular tourist destination for travelers interested in spending their leisure time in the sub-tropical climate of southern Florida. Visitors to the region should expect to encounter lavishly warm conditions with plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Pack light, with plenty of shorts, a pair of sandals, sunglasses and a few bottles of sunscreen to take full advantage of the pleasant weather enjoyed by this beachfront community.

Can anyone clear up the size/availability for me? I've got the trade paperback (9x6" = 23x15 cm) editions of the first five books.
It looks like I can get a similar size book from Amazon Canada for books 7&8. This is pretty pricey (over $20 a book with shipping to the US) for paperbacks.
I can't find book 6 - Sea Watch, in anything but small, mass market size.
1. Was book six ever published in the 9x6" format? If so, anyone know who is carrying it?
2. Amazon US lists books 7&8 as published -- but doesn't actually carry them. Is the US release date later, or why are these so hard to find?

Anyone know if US release is planned? By who, and size if known?
September 24th, 2012, 11:55 AM #50
I genuinely have no idea. The series has been a bit of a mess as of late. Pyr appeared to stop after the fifth and Tor UK changed format with the seventh or eighth book, and then reissued the previous books in a different format.
I'll see if I can find anything out, though.

Of course there are exceptions - if a series takes off for example, a bigger publisher may take on further volumes as Joe Abercrombie was originally published in the US by Pyr and then when the First law took off, Hachette kept the rights in-house, with Gollancz as before in the UK and Orbit in the US (note that in the UK Hachette has 2 sff imprints, Gollancz, senior, and orbit UK, junior,, but in the US it has Orbit, main, and Grand Central which publishes some sff towards the literary end, so many big sff titles have a Gollancz/UK, Orbit/US release)

I had used another HCG drop with B12 earlier and when I went to order it again it was out of stock so I reluctantly bought this one having no idea how it would compare and at the time I bought it there was only one review. Well I'm here to say I've been using this now for two weeks and it works as well as the first drops I used. I've lost 10 pounds in two weeks and that includes a little cheating on my diet along the way. Not bad but life is what it is so sometimes you just can't help cheat a little although I do pretty much keep to my diet plan like they tell you to. I'm very impressed with these drops and would buy them again in a minute if I need more. I am just about to my goal now. I've lost a total of 40 pounds and feel wonderful. I highly recommend these drops. You will feel so good about yourself.
I was surprised! This product is really great it has a ton of ingredients. I've lost weight and hate to sound like a commercial but I feel great.
While this HCG Activator doesn't really contain HCG, I have been taking it and following the Sublingual HCG diet and had excellent results. I have lost just under 20lbs in 20 days. I am SO pleased. I haven't been this thin since I was pregnant with my now 4 year old daughter. It is the first time in my marriage I am thinner than my husband. I will be switching to the maintenance diet next week when I hit 26 days but this diet has been very easy to follow, even while feeding my preschooler, and cooking dinner for my husband. I have to remind myself to eat because I'm just not hungry at all. If you have a lot of weight to lose, I would definitely recommend doing at least one round to jump start your body and your metabolism. I have been following the directions on the bottle (20 drops twice a day) instead of 10 drops 3x a day - but I'm sure either way would work well. I also recommend getting the Today's Appetite. Not sure if it works, but as I me roomed before I am not hungry at all and have very little interest in food. Best money I ever spent, and the money I've saved by not eating out these past 20 days more than makes up for it. I only had one day of low energy the first day - but my energy and mood has been wonderful this whole time. Try these drops, you won't be sorry!
With the passing of each year I seemed to be putting on more and more weight. When I saw that I was up to 178, it was time to do something about it. Over the years I have tried all the diet plans and I knew which one worked and how quickly that weight would come back. HGC sounded to good to be true but I love a chalange and so about this time last year I started on this program. I am 78 years young when it was mentioned that exercise was not a must, I was hooked. I know that if I had exercised the weight might have come off faster but the end result is the same. At this point I have lost 45 pounds and am able to get into a size 6 jeans and what more dould you ask for?
This one works the best. I've already reccomended it to friends.
This seamed to be watered down
I give this product a 2. I have not noticed the dietary improvement or the B12 it contains since I have been taking this for about 5 days.
I could not tell any difference in weight loss or appetite with this product
pretty much all products like this are the same they are all good and do what there supposed to do if taken properly
Excellent Product, works great. I am a regular user.
