A New York vigil for Savita Halappanavar, the young Indian dentist who died in a Galway hospital after being refused an abortion of her non viable fetus will be held at Barnard College in Manhattan on Monday night from 5:00 to 6:00 organizers have announced.
International and Irish anger over Ireland's abortion laws continues with rallies being planned in Dublin, on Saturday, New York, on Monday, India and other locations around the world. However, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has said that the government will not be rushed into making a decision on the abortion laws of Ireland following the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar in Galway.
Savita was denied an abortion due to Irish law. The 17-week pregnant, medical professional, begged for a termination, as she was in the middle of a miscarriage. Instead the doctors waited to operate until the fetus' heart had stopped. Savita died of blood poisoning. The 31-year-old Indian dentist's husband told the press that his wife was in agony for days before she died on October 28.
Since her death there has been outrage among Ireland's residents and around the globe over the lack of abortion legislation in Ireland. Although 20 years ago Ireland's Supreme Court ruled in favor of abortions being legal if the mother's life was at risk no government thus far has tackled the issue.
Speaking to RTE, Ireland's national broadcaster, on Friday, Enda Kenny said "This is a matter that has divided Irish society now for a great number of years, and I am not going to be rushed into a situation by force of numbers on any side."
He added "This is something that has to be dealt with rationally, and openly and truthfully and that is what will happen."
On Thursday evening Eamon Gilmore, the Deputy Prime Minister, had pledged that the Irish government would clarify Ireland's abortion laws. An expert report carried out by Ireland's Ministry for Health was submitted to the government this week and will be published having been discussed by the government.
In India the government has vowed to take up the matter of abortion with the Irish government through diplomatic channels, the Times of India reports. Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, of the Karnataka government, in the south west region of India wrote a letter to Savita's father Andaneppa Yalagi and Belgaum deputy commissioner, Anbu Kumar, expressing his condolences.
Shettar wrote "I was pained to know a precious life was lost because proper medical care was refused...Humanity precedes legality" and said the Galway hospital should have considered an abortion.
The Minister continued "This is a serious issue. There is a lot of public anger and protest. To ensure justice to the victim, we are taking up the issue with Ireland through the government of India."
Savita's father, Andaneppa, said "If the Irish law on abortion is changed, I would think my daughter has been sacrificed for a good cause.
"We are happy the issue is being discussed internationally to change the law. Protests and social campaigns are being carried out in Ireland. Our government also needs to pressure them. If it works and the law is changed, then my daughter will rest in peace."
Andaneppa said their son-in-law, Praveen Halappanavar, was ready "to lead the social change in Ireland. He added "We'll do our bit in India."
The Hindu reports that India's Ambassador to Ireland Debashish Chakravarti met the Irish Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore on Friday and conveyed New Delhi's concerns over Savita death and, as the newspaper put it, Ireland's "the country's archaic anti-abortion law."

The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 1996 Toyota Supra problems
Automatic Transmission May Not Shift Correctly at High Mileages
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.
Replace Oxygen Sensor When Servicing EGR System
Over the time the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system may become plugged with debris, the oxygen sensor may also be getting slow or 'lazy' around this time. When servicing or cleaning the EGR system, it is a good idea to replace the oxygen sensor because it works in tandem with the EGR system.
Replace coolant and thermostat every 60,000 miles
Our technicians tell us that it is important to change the coolant with factory coolant and replace the thermostat every 60,000 miles. This will help to protect the head gasket, otherwise the head gasket can deteriorate and be stressed to the point of failure.
Regularly check valve clearance so valves don't become too tight
Engine Won't Crank Due To Starter
If the vehicle will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter, which tend to fail at about 100,00-125,000 miles. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid contacts, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.
Improperly Adjusted Valves May Cause Emissions Failure/Rough Idle
A rough idle and even an emissions inspection failure for high HC and CO can be caused by improperly adjusted valves. Also, exhaust valves may become to tight which can lead to valve failures. Our technicians tell us that regular valve adjustment inspections are a must.
Driveability Concerns Due to Throttle Position Sensor Out of Adjustment
The Throttle Position Sensor can get out of adjustment due to wear in the throttle body or due to carbon build up. This will cause the idle timing to advance more than 30 degrees which will cause very high HC and NOx emissions. Conversely, the Throttle Position Sensors can wear out and not properly advance the timing which causes a lack of power and poor fuel economy.
ABS Warning Light Due to Failed Wheel Speed Sensor
At higher mileages, an anti-lock brake system wheel speed sensor may wear out and illuminate the ABS warning light. It is recommended to replace the sensor with a factory part and be sure to clean all rust and debris from the mounting area because the mounting distance is critical. Failure to do so may result in the new sensor setting false trouble codes. Be sure to check the condition and runout of the front wheel bearings on the 2WD and 4WD vehicles and the CV joints on the 4WD vehicles since worn wheel bearings and/or CV joints can cause the ABS trigger rings to rub against the ABS sensors and damage them.
Worn Shift Bushings Will Cause Manual Transmission to Pop Out of Gear
On vehicles with a manual transmission, worn shift bushings can cause the transmission to pop out of gear, especially when coasting down in 1st or 2nd gear. Replacing all the shift linkage bushings is pretty straight forward and not expensive and will commonly correct this concern.
Air Flow Sensor May Fail at Higher Mileages
At higher mileages (125,000+) the mass air flow sensor may cause the vehicle to idle rough, run rich and even stall. Our technicians recommended to replace the Mass Air Flow Sensor with a factory unit because the aftermarket units have very mixed results.
Loss of Power at Freeway Speeds
A loss of power on the freeway may due to an internally leaking fuel pulsation dampener. This commonly occurs on higher mileage vehicles.
Engine Stalling When Warm
At higher mileages (125,000+) the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor may intermittently stop working, especially when the vehicle is fully warmed up. This can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly.
Warped front brake rotors can cause steering wheel to shudder
As the size of the Supra vehicle gets ever larger, there is a tendency to warp the front rotors. This will be felt as a shudder in the steering wheel when braking. The front rotors can be remachined, if there is sufficient material left, otherwise the front rotors will need to be replaced. It is recommended to use factory quality rotors because cheap quality rotors warp very easily and tend to squeak and squeal.
Brake master cylinder may need replacing at 125,000 miles
At 125,000-150,000 miles, the Brake Master Cylinder may need replacing. It is critical to adjust the brake pedal to Master Cylinder pushrod clearance or the brakes will drag and over heat.

Tom Yum Recipe (Tom Yum Goong)
Born and raised in Penang, I am all about sun and warmth. I absolutely dread cold weather and the mere presence of sun lights me up like a glowing stick. I am inherently happier and more cheerful when the sun is out.
This month has been mostly cold and wet—lots of rain, cloudy, and yucky. I feel moody when the sky is grey. On chilly and gloomy days, I usually make myself Tom Yum soup to lift my spirit. Nothing feels better than downing a bowl of piping hot, spicy, sour, and highly addictive Tom Yum soup.
Tom Yum is probably one of the most well-know Thai recipes. It's uniquely Thai and has become so famous that they made a movie with the name "Tom Yum Goong." I kid you not.
Over the years, I have perfected my version of Tom Yum recipe. I can whip it up in less than 30 minutes. The best Tom Yum recipe calls for shrimp/prawn stock, which you can make by boiling prawn/shrimp heads with water, a trick I learned from my friend Chez Pim. A good stock guarantees the great taste of Tom Yum, much like dashi to Japanese cuisine. However, you can also make it with water or canned chicken stock. Another secret is the use of nam prik pao (Thai roasted chili paste). Of course, you can't do without the aromatics: galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, bird's eye chilies, etc. Once you have these ingredients, you will have the best bowl of homemade tom yum you've ever tasted, I promise.
To make Bangkok-style Tom Yum which is creamier and whiter in color, add a few tablespoons of evaporated milk to the soup, a trick I learned from She Simmers.

This looks great, I love making soup in the winter.
Two questions though… Is this enough for one person? Also, I'd be nervous about saving shrimp heads. How do you store them and for how long?
Wow, what a delicious-mouth-watering Tom Yam!!! After seeing your picture, my stomach is drumming at this time of hour – MIDNIGHT!!!! Lucky me that I can just go out to a road side store to order one, and not have to cook!!!
Your Tom Yum soup full of udang! And the soup base looks very thick – must be darn good!
Your Tom Yum Goong looks great. So many goong in that bowl! I really appreciate having this recipe, and also the advice to save prawn heads. I agree that good food brightens any gloomy day, and this recipe definitely looks like it would do the trick. Thanks for sharing this!

Fabulous stuff – what a great, great looking bowl of food.
That looks extremely good. Your tom yum broth looks so lemak! If i could only reach…through…the…screen…..
You truly have an eye for photography! Your dishes "jump" out at us through the blog!
Sorry to put a damper though … I would suggest that you put one of those "transparent-nish" watermark right across your photos. Identifying Rasa Malaysia at the bottom of the photo would still allow for copyright thefts since that portion can be easily cropped off.
You may also want to check out photo-sites like Flickr. They are able to have photos uploaded in their site, yet viewers are unable to copy the photos.
This soup looks so wonderful! It is a favorite of mine whenever I'm at a Thai restaurant. I'll have to try my hand at making some for myself. I even have a bag of shrimp shells in my freezer!
I'm so glad to finally learn how to make this soup! Now I won't have to always get it from a restaurant.
I see you've added a copyright to your pics! Good! I have to agree with CCC though- the watermark needs to be typed across part of your food photo or it can still be stolen (I know… it takes away from the beauty of the photo, but it's sometimes necessary to protect). Lovely dish!
Oooo how about one on Laksa Johor, if you haven't posted a recipe already….
Adore Tom Yam Goong. I have been reading thorugh your open letters to the Blog Pic Stealers and it is horrible that this is happening. I am sorry to hear that your adorable pictures are being kidnapped and victimised :-(
I actually was just looking in my freezer the other night and was trying to figure out what on earth to do with my shrimp stock…what serendipity!
Looks like a great recipe! i've never attempted to make tom yum on my own… need to go look for nam prik pao in penang! :)
Great tomyam… the prawns are big and delicious!
Mmm! Pair it with a bottle of Belgian Tripel and I am so there. It would bring out all the magical elements that the kaffir lime leaves and lemon grass bring to the soup.
You rock for making tom yum from scratch! :) I love this…especially when it is spicy enough to make me sniffle! I'll start saving shrimp heads now…
Looks great, as with all photography you do.
Hmmm, reminds me… you should watermark your photos across the center, so thieving "chefs" can't thieve your good work and effort! :)
Uddawise, next t'ing ya know, dis gonna be some kind Chef Al original!!
You might want to watermark your picture a lil higher than that. Chef Rosas might crop away the watermark and eventually steal pics again.
Btw, awesome tomyum recipe thanks :)
Is it me, or I just find tom yum better outside of Thailand? Tom yam in Malaysia and tom yum in U.S. are just yummier. Why is that? I've been to Bangkok several times, and each time, I will ask local Thais where to get a good bowl of tom yum gai. Each time, I must say I am disappointed :(
Yum! Yum!I can feel the sourness & spiciness.
Oh noooo… Tom Yum is my favourite! This looks extremely delicious… gimme some!
Me and my luv very luv tom yam…
How can i make the shrimp stock? coudnt seem to find in your post.
Can you reply to my email add. Many thanks .
I have only cooked the white soup base Tom Yum Goong before. But I have received a small jar of chili paste from my Thai counterpart and I shall put it to good use with this recipe! Thanks!
Thanks for recipe! I love tom yum so I'll have to start saving prawn heads for this recipe… :)
hi ,
i have been trying to find out how many people your recipe serves?
please help asap , we are making this for 4 people for dinner in a few hours !!!
kind thanks
This is really delicious soup!!! actually the problem is no to cook it, but to collect all these ingredients! I used to buy ingredients in Thailand when I go there for vacation. But now I've run out of my stock, and order all the ingredients online through thai tom yum shop! I use this one: Tom Yum recipe .com, but you can google your own favorite tom yum shop))
and where do you get ingredients?
Is there any other brand you'd recommend?Your Tom Yum Goong looks yummy.
Tom Yum is one of my favorite Thai dishes, I think it highlights the culture perfectly and provides the perfect blend of spice and flavor; what Thai cooking is all about! I love the recipe you've used here; Tom Yum is delicious with chicken or shrimp/prawns; gotta leave those heads on though!
Bee yours is the one news letter I look for every time I open my mail. Fabulous recipes, excellent photography & write ups that always make a good read.
As the imported ready made Thai pastes available in my country are all of indifferent quality, I am sure your fans would appreciate recipes for Thai Chilli pastes (nam prik pao) & other Thai curry pastes that we can make from scratch. I am sure flavour & quality will be far superior to ready made ones. Thanks
Made everything according to the recipe, soup itself is ok untill u start eating it with steamed rice, something is missing, the flavout is not as rich as in restaurant's soup:( dissapointed:(
Pingback:First Serious Trial: Tom Yum Seafood | My Official Site
I am looking to make this and have a question:
Would fresh ginger be a suitable substitute for Galangal? I don't recall seeing it anywhere locally.
Thank you for any updates/replies.
I am so glad I found this recipe for Tom Yum soup! Much like you, I am not a fan of the cold weather, and I love a bowl of hot Tom Yum soup to warm me up. I have not attempted making it before, mostly because we have a great little Thai restaurant nearby.
Will soon be making it.

By attorney Paul Finizio, Special to THELAW.TV
According to a preliminary Thanksgiving weekend shopping survey from the National Retail Federation, approximately 97 million people plan to shop on Black Friday this year. This raises the common risks for shoppers and employees and generates new ones that are usually not present. This article will identify those risks and try to give some advice for both shoppers and employees so they can enjoy a safe Black Friday.
You and your family must be especially aware of the common risks a trip to the mall offers. Spills on the floor or items incorrectly stocked in high shelves are particularly dangerous during the chaos generated by this event. The increased number of shoppers not only elevates the probabilities of encountering spills on the floor and items put back insecurely in shelves, but also diminishes the probabilities that employees will spot those hazards and signal or eliminate them, because they are too busy. It will definitely pay off to pay special attention during Black Friday shopping to those potential risks, because the last thing we want is to end up in the hospital after our trip to the mall.
You and your family should be particularly aware of the risks posed by other shoppers. The stress and aggression levels during this kind of event are much higher for the average person. This can lead to arguments and confrontations caused by situations that would usually go unnoticed or given no importance. Be aware that getting bumped into or stepped on is much more likely during Black Friday because of the large number of shoppers trying to find that special item with an amazing price cut. Also, cutting in line or fighting over the last 50 percent off a widget can create high risk situations. It is important to always keep composure and avoid escalating arguments, as they can lead to assaults, batteries, or even worse. Every year, Black Friday atrocities are reported. In 2012, two individuals were tragically shot outside a Walmart in Tallahassee, Fla., on Black Friday.
All of the risks associated with large crowds are also present during Black Friday. It is important to pay close attention to children, monitoring them constantly, and not letting them wander off; it is easy for a child to get lost in the crowd. Try to emphasize the importance of this to the children, so they behave as much as possible. Also, keep an eye on the amount of people around you, especially at exits and entrances. Try to avoid massively overcrowded areas, as well as trying to enter buildings and stores right when they open. In 2008, a worker was trampled to death when shoppers rushed through the store entrance to take advantage of the holiday sales. It is a good idea to wait some time and then enter.
In addition to all the potential threats that shoppers are exposed to, employees are also exposed to some particular ones. Employees must be prepared for the long shift ahead of them during Black Friday, especially if they are scheduled for the a.m. hours. The physical toll of working for such a long period of time overnight must be considered, particularly following a day of celebration and compulsive eating. It is important to make sure that one is in good shape before getting into his or her car and driving home. The risks of driving while tired or sleepy are similar to the risks of driving under the influence. It would be advisable to have someone come pick you up, as long as it is possible, but if family members must drive, be aware that you might not be driving in optimal conditions so use extreme care. Hopefully this quick advice will help you enjoy a safe Black Friday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Subtly elegant in black and pale pink, or vibrant in lemon yellow, orange or fuchsia, the Dior Addict shopping bag is decked out for the sun in the colors of summer.
It's an It bag of timeless elegance, as simple in appearance as it is complex in construction. The view from the side? A fold of leather recalling the construction of the cuff on a sleeve by Christian Dior, from the Arizona coat shown in 1948, which gives the bag its graphic curve. From the front: the handle tabs are inserted directly into the bag, creating a focus through material thicknesses and topstitching, emphasizing the color combinations.
Whether complimentary or contrast, the two-tone pairings offer endless variations. In black leather with pale pink handles, Dior Addict has the timeless allure of the great classics, of those highly necessary accessories that one takes everywhere.
In primary blue and black and white python, or in mauve and fawn, it evokes, on the beach as much as in the city, the colorful freshness of the sea spray. In fuchsia and vivid orange or bright yellow, it displays the spectrum of summer. Lastly, the charms – the four letters spelling D,I,O,R. that can be found on the majority of the house's bags – also come in pop colors: in coppery orange, light or bright pink, they're the colorful signature that puts the finishing touch to the Dior Addict summery style.

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
from Old English dæl "part, share, quantity, amount," from Proto-Germanic *dailaz (cf. Old Norse deild, Old Frisian del, Dutch deel, Old High German and German teil, Gothic dails "part, share"), from PIE *dail- "to divide" (cf. Old Church Slavonic delu "part," Lithuanian dalis).
Business sense of "transaction, bargain" is 1837, originally slang. Meaning "an amount" is from 1560s. New Deal is from F.D. Roosevelt speech of July 1932. Big deal is 1928; ironic use first recorded 1951 in "Catcher in the Rye." Deal breaker is attested by 1975.
"plank or board of pine," c.1400, from Low German (cf. Middle Low German dele), from Proto-Germanic *theljon, from PIE root *tel- "ground, floor." An Old English derivative was þelu "hewn wood, board, flooring."

2. Mazes of the Mind by Mar'isu
Mazes of the Mind
He is old, terribly old. He awoke to the love of the Entwives and to their laughter as they taught the "funny little river-folk" the ways of corn and cabbages. New leaves grew and flowers fell. Years passed and the river flowed. Rooted in stone, he cannot move. He cannot follow as the Entwives leave, in search of some other land in need of order. Arien burns and Tilion pursues. The thoughts of trees grow black and bitter. The river drinks his songs and the wind carries his whispers, flinging them far and wide. Now the forest is a labyrinth of his will, and all acknowledge the Willow Lord.
Well, all save one."None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master:
His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster."

The Chuckawallees and Bad Company faced off Tuesday night in the C Coed Division of BishopŌĆÖs Adult Softball league. Bad Company came in undefeated with the Chuckawallees right behind them at 1-1.
Chuckawallee took a couple of innings to warm up, but when they did, Bad Company went reeling with a 3-8 deficit. Then it was Bad CompanyŌĆÖs turn to fight back, making the winning run in the bottom of the sixth for the 11-10 win.
Bad Company took out the top of ChuckawalleeŌĆÖs batting order in short order in the top of the first, then put the offense to work.
Considering that the area just celebrated Mules Days, the fact that roughly 300 runners spent the previous weekend, (May 18), trotting from 20-62 miles up and down the Eastern Sierra, on foot, seems like cruel and unusual punishment.

The Bishop Broncos fell to the Malibu Sharks, the number two ranked baseball team in CIF Division 6.
Bishop made the drive down Thursday, knowing they were the underdog. The good news, though the players may not have thought so on the long drive back from the coast, was the score: 6-10. The Broncos did Bishop proud, staying in the game despite a 1-8 deficit going into the fifth inning.
Malibu retired its pitcher in the fifth, then had to sit through the final three innings wondering if the decision was wise as the Broncos methodically chipped away at the SharksŌĆÖ lead.
The Lone Pine Golden Eagles Track and Field team finished its season on a high note as the athletes reached the medal podium three times at the Desert Mountain League Finals, held at Antelope Valley High School the first week in May.
Competing against nine teams, Lone PineŌĆÖs Alec Garcia took first place in the 400-meter sprint, qualifying for the CIF championship prelims.
The Bishop Lady Broncos softball team fell, 3-13, to the Shadow Hills Knights Thursday afternoon in the first round of CIF Division 6 playoffs.
ŌĆ£Unfortunately the score does not reflect what a good game it was,ŌĆØ said coach Stacy Van Nest. ŌĆ£We came ready to play but were out-hit and had some defensive errors. But we never gave up. The game was not out of reach until the bottom of the sixth. IŌĆÖm proud of every girl on this team for an outstanding season.ŌĆØ
The sixth annual Bomb-Fest Slow Pitch Softball Tournament played out last weekend at Millpond with the menŌĆÖs teams battling it out on Saturday, followed by the coed teams on Sunday.
A lot of the names and faces were familiar, with Sweetwater, Reds and Mad Batters among the seven menŌĆÖs teams competing for the tournament championship.
The champions of both the menŌĆÖs and coed divisions, however, were teams from Northern California: Deaf Row, menŌĆÖs champion, and Judoknome, coed champ.
Both teams, as well as one additional coed contender, were made up of hearing-impaired players.

Cursed Queen of Angmar, The: 13. Family Matters
"Momma! Look!"
Ariashal never glanced up from her embroidery. She was seated on a private balcony, carved from the mountain so it would be shielded from the constant winds. It faced away from the city, so that she never had to see or smell the noxious smoke.
Below her was a walled garden, carved from within the mountain. Some of the giant boulders were left in place, jutting intrusively from the paved garden floor. In the center was a small fortress, with miniature siege engines scattered about. Trees shaded the garden, a waterfall splashed into a pool. A pair of white wolves lay attentively in the shade, alert to all activity.
"Momma! Look!"
Sighing, she laid aside her work to see what her children demanded of her.
Imrahil, the eldest, had managed to gain the lower branches of one tree. Tall and sturdy, he was as fearless and confident as his father. His hair was long, wavy, black; Ariashal suspected he had inherited that from his father as well. From her had come rounded features and soft blue eyes.
"Let me up!"
Adrahil, her second born, struggled to climb the tree. Like his brother he was tall for his age. Unlike his brother, his features were more angular, reminiscent of the men depicted on the Numenorean tapestries that graced the castle's walls. He could be stubborn, willful, difficult. Already he was resisting the lessons of his tutors, preferring to practice with his sword.
On the other side of the garden, her daughter Zimraphel busied herself in the dirt. Her nurses kept a close watch on her, for she was insatiably curious, forever digging into things. Ariashal often heard her speaking with her guardian wolves.
There were other children here as well, offspring of Angmarim nobility and society chosen as playmates for the young Royals. Also running around were some of the servants' children, not from any desire for democracy, but from the need to keep a good mix of ages and sexes around. And if any friendships formed from the playground, so much the better. The royal children would need confidantes as they grew older.
Ariashal noted that her husband treated his children equally. They had all, to some degree or another, inherited his gift for sorcery; he had begun giving them simple lessons. He played no favorites with them, never praised one at the expense of the others. She much preferred this method. It was a far cry from her father and his endless testing of her brothers, or the not-so - subtle reminders of her own feminine inferiority.
Ariashal could not quite believe the changes that had taken place over the years. Her father had died recently; she only learned of it when a brief message sent to the King made a passing reference to the fact that her brother was now in control of Rhudaur. That she found out in such a roundabout way only added further turmoil to her feelings about her old family. They never acknowledged the letters sent when her children were born; never once wrote to inquire after their health. She was uncertain whether they were surprised to think that she had actually borne children, or if they preferred to not think of her at all.
The fact that her old family no longer wanted her made her even more passionate and possessive towards her new one. During the day she had the children's education to supervise; at night she had the King's needs to tend. After the birth of Zimraphel, she and the King agreed to have no more children. He was forced to resort to ever-more elaborate rituals to keep her and the unborn child safe from harm. Whatever it was that wanted his offspring, it was growing ever bolder and more dangerous. The risks to all were too great. Accordingly she drank the foul-smelling potion he mixed for her, thus ending her child-bearing.
It did not end her love life. Removing the chance of pregnancy increased their desire. Now they could engage in any activity they wished, without the fear of creating a life. For the first time she was able to explore some of the frontiers of sexuality, with a man capable of pleasing her. She was well aware of his limits; she knew better than to try and dominate him, even in play. Much easier to give herself over to him, to let him do as he would, trusting him to stop before hurting her.
In turn she had managed to gain his trust, something which she had thought impossible. He was considerably less guarded around her; she even managed to get him to laugh. He was comfortable enough with her that he no longer kept completely swathed in cloth. She quickly adjusted to the sight of bits of clothing moving about the room apparently of its own will.
And she had even grown used to the flying beasts. A few times she had actually braved going for rides with the King. She sat in front of him, braced against the saddle, while he handled the reins and kept Nardu under control. Her first few flights were low and slow. She marveled at the power in the wings, at the way the ground slipped past, the way the wind felt in her hair. As she gained confidence he took her on longer flights, far out into the mountain peaks. Here they found a refuge far from Carn Dum, where they could be utterly alone.
It was during one of these interludes that she learned the truth about her old family.
They were laying on his great cloak, in a small cave sheltered from the sighing winds. Ariashal had learned to read his moods, despite the fact that she could not see him. Now she knew that something was troubling him. It had bothered him during the ride here, during their lovemaking, and it was bothering him now. She recognized this mood. He would not talk unless she asked him.
"My lord," she began, gently stroking his chest, "something has upset you. What is it?"
He drew a long breath. "I did not wish to burden you with this, but I fear you have come to know me too well. It is your brother. He has reneged on our treaty."
That idiot! "How?"
"He wanted to renegotiate after your father died, and I refused. He has not sent his annual tribute for four years. I forgave him one year, for they had a drought. Now he says that he is no longer my vassal, and that he will do as he pleases. And he wants our daughter as a bride for his grandson."
"No! He will not take her!"
"She is too young to even consider marrying, so she is in no danger. He is my vassal, whether or not he wishes to believe otherwise. I have not been forced to take the field for many years, Ariashal. I had hoped that the treaty would keep my southern borders peaceful for some time, long enough for the population to grow. I see now that this is impossible. This summer I will have to go on an inspection of the fortifications along the border. While there I will hold a full review. Perhaps that will convince him of the error he has made, and he will not take advantage of my patience in the future."
"I would very much like to accompany you."
"Of course you will. It will be good for the children. They need to understand their kingdom, and be seen by the people."
"When do you plan to leave?"
"In a few weeks, when the grass is ready. I am not ready to wage war against them; my army is still too small. I have many orcs, but they are ill-disciplined at the best of times. I will see what has happened, and if needs be I will send east for more men. Khamul will not fail to supply me."
"Khamul! I thought you hated Khamul."
"I do not hate Khamul. We merely see things differently. As an example, he thinks that I should have a harem, and sire no children by my concubines. I see my children as my most loyal allies.
"There have been times when I disliked him. But he is a man of his word, and he will do what is needed. To speak truthfully, if I can avoid going to the east for men I would be much happier. I want as little to do with the east as is possible."
"Maybe my brother will be reasonable."
"Perhaps. It will be much better for all if he submits gracefully."

The first annual Harvest Heritage Day Celebration is asking for donations from local gardeners of their large zucchini, pumpkins or squash so they can be dressed in clothes during the event.
Yes, that's right; dressed up like little people. The "Dressed Vegetable and Fruit" table is one of the more unique parts of the Harvest Heritage Day event, which will be held on Saturday, Oct. 23, from 1-5 p.m. at the Eastern California Museum, 155 N. Grant St., in Independence. The Independence Civic Club has volunteered to bring "dressed vegetables" to show during the event, and also provide tips to those new to the craft of dressing vegetables.
"It seems putting clothes on large vegetables is somewhat of a family tradition for Mary Roper and Nancy Masters," said Museum Director Jon Klusmire of the Civic Club stalwarts and the lead volunteers at the "Dressed Vegetable Table."
"This might help to explain their infatuation with fruitcake and shed further light on their fascinating fascination with largely inedible objects," he quipped.
Roper and Masters, of course, are also the leading lights of the Independence International Fruitcake Festival.
Members of the public are encouraged to bring their large vegetables to the event, clothed or naked, and as Roper noted, "Don't forget the fruits," meaning that apples, peaches and other garden fare are fair game for "dressing."
The Harvest Heritage Day event is free to the public and is fashioned after the Harvest Festivals held in each town in the Owens Valley in the early 20th Century, Klusmire said. The museum and the Friends of the Eastern California Museum are attempting to revive this rich tradition of celebrating the coming fall season and admiring the bounty of the growing season in the valley.
The public is also encouraged to bring homemade baked goods with a fall theme to the festival. Apple pies and cobblers, peach pie, cookies and other goodies will be displayed and then eaten. Gardeners can also show off the fruits and vegetables of their labor (providing they don't want said produce dressed). Free hot dogs, chili, desserts and drinks will be provided during the event, and popular local band, Sandy and the High Country, will be entertaining.
There will also be a variety of kids' games and activities offered, including bobbing for apples, pumpkin painting, pin-the-tail-on the scarecrow and other events.
Local historian Jane Wehrey will present her program, "Three Marys of Mazanar: Remembering Autumn's Layered Past," in the museum at 2 p.m. and again at 4 p.m.
For more information about volunteering for the Harvest Heritage Day, or suggestions about what food and fruits and vegetables to donate, call the museum at (760) 878-0258 (large veggie delivery from Bishop can also be arranged).

BiographyStuart D. Russell, M.D. went to medical school at the University of Washington before coming to Johns Hopkins to do his Internal Medicine residency from 1991 to 1994. He then went to Duke University Medical Center for his Cardiology fellowship. After completing his fellowship, he went to UCLA Medical Center to do an additional fellowship in advanced heart failure and cardiac transplantation. Dr. Russell then returned to Duke where he was the Medical Director of Cardiac Transplant and the Associate Director of Heart Failure to 1999. He came back to Johns Hopkins in 2004 to be the Chief of Heart Failure and Transplantation. Dr Russell is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins, and Director of the new Heart Failure Bridge Clinic which provides multidisciplinary care to adults with heart failure reducing hospitalizations through intensified and readily available routine outpatient care and access including IV diuresis.
Dr. Russells current research efforts include his work in two primary areas: left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and exercise physiology in heart failure. The newest pumps are commonly used in patients with end-stage heart failure as a bridge to transplant or instead of transplant all together. LVADs have interesting physiological properties that Dr. Russell is working hard to understand, to maximize its efficacy in patients. The most important physiological change for patients is that they no longer have pulsatile blood flow and instead have a continuous flow of blood. At a very practical level, this results in a lack of pulse and therefore is very difficult to measure blood pressure. Dr. Russell has shown that the return of a Doppler signal is the best correlate of blood pressure for most patients. However, he and his team are working to discover alternative means of measuring blood pressure in these patients. Dr. Russells team has also demonstrated that patients with LVADs are at increased risk for GI bleeds, stroke, and clotting of the pump. In collaboration with his basic science colleagues, Dr. Russell is working to understand the mechanisms of these clotting abnormalities and also find risk factors for these side effects in order to prevent their occurrence. His other area of interest is on exercise physiology in heart failure patients. Shortness of breath and fatigue are two common symptoms of heart failure, and they often cause patients to stop exercise. These symptoms are not always the same in the patient population, and Dr. Russell is working to better understand what triggers each, in hopes of leading to beneficial therapeutic changes for patients. Additionally, Dr. Russell is working to determine the cause of shortness of breath in patients with normal heart function. This is a common clinical problem. In order to better understand this occurrence, Dr. Russell will perform invasive exercise tests, and measure both heart and lung function and the interactions between the two.
