POSTED: Monday, September 23, 2013 - 7:36am
UPDATED: Monday, September 23, 2013 - 6:24pm
(CNN) — A family of five was found dead inside a house near Rice, Texas, on Sunday night, authorities said. That's just south of Dallas.
Navarro County sheriff's deputies found the bodies of two adults and three children inside.
The Sheriff says that deputies have responded to the home at least four times in the past, but do not believe that anyone else is involved in the family's death.
"We are concentrating on the investigation inside the residence and we do not have reason to believe there are any other suspects at this time." Sheriff Elmer Tanner said.
Detectives have not yet released any probable cause of death.

Comfort In Times Of Sadness
Comfort in Times of Sadness
Everyone has endured trying times in recent weeks. From the international scene to the local, we have experienced horror, loss, and sadness, perhaps a vague sense of depression. We have witnessed the tragedy of Haiti which, of all places, should not have to absorb more pain. We have recoiled at senseless violence, most recently at the University of Alabama. Closer to home, we have sadly lost two former staff, Charlotte Horton Sayers and Dave Mahone, and current staff have experienced individual losses and anxieties. In our community, we mourn the passing of Kelly Combs Necessary, an irrepressible champion for advocacy for our own health. And nearly everyone (perhaps even school children?) is weary of seemingly endless days of snow and gray skies. We are in need of comfort.
Did you know that the simple act of reading brings calm? We have written in this column before about the health benefits of reading, including the slowing of physical processes (respiration, heart rate, skin temperature), and the ease of mental stress. Reading is healthful.
Short and Sweet
When attention spans and ability to concentrate are limited, short selections are the obvious first choice. Two favorites are "Listening Is an Act of Love" collected by the Story Corps Project, and "I Thought My Father Was God", edited by Paul Auster. Both of these are collections of true stories submitted by ordinary people, illustrating the range of experiences of the American people. All have aired on NPR. The "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series by Jack Canfield fills a need for quick pick-me-up inspiration.
The soothing rhythm and rhyme of poetry comforts and relaxes. Two among many choices are "Best Loved Poems of the American People" collected by Hazel Felleman and "Julie Andrews' Collection of Poems, Songs, and Lullabies".
Gentle Tales
Gentle reads are another perfect choice for comfort. Miss Read wrote many warm stories set in the English villages of Fairacre and Thrush Green. Barbara Pym's stories, also set in English villages, revolve around the church, and poke gentle fun at human foibles. She is thought of as the "twentieth century's answer to Jane Austen". The books of Austen herself, as comedic novels of manners of Regency England, are delightful comfort reading. Georgette Heyer's classic Regency romances are also charming. Contemporary tales of small town American life are the territory of writers such as Philip Gulley, Jan Karon, Debbie Macomber, Joan Medlicott, and Ann B. Ross.
Stories of coming of age on the frontier in days gone by, in which characters successfully negotiate challenges and adversities, offer nostalgia, reassurance and hope. Ralph Moody's memoirs, beginning with "Little Britches", are delightful. Hal Borland's "High, Wide and Lonesome", about his childhood on the Colorado plateau is another good choice, as is "Little Heathens", Mildred Armstrong Kalish's memoir of her 1930s childhood on a farm in Iowa. "Here's To the Ladies: stories of the frontier army" by Carla Kelly is a collection of stories about soldiers' wives.
Books about nature, especially featuring animals, can bring a sense of warmth, comfort, and pleasure. Favorite writers include Paul Gallico, James Herriot, Jack London, Roger Tory Peterson, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, Jon Katz, and John Grogan. For delightful portraits of birds, read Joanna Burger's "The Parrot Who Owns Me", "Alex and Me" by Irene Pepperberg, or "Corvus: My Life with Birds" by Esther Woolfson.
Childhood Favorites
It is always pleasant to revisit favorite books from childhood, no matter what our age. Try "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott, the Prydain series by Lloyd Alexander, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum, the "Children of Green Knowe" series by L. M. Boston, Walter Brooks' "Freddy the Pig" series, "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Beverly Cleary's "Ramona" series, Susan Cooper's "The Dark Is Rising" series, the "Moffats" series by Eleanor Estes, Walter Farley's "The Black Stallion" series, "Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame, "Raggedy Ann and Andy" by Johnny Gruelle, the dog stories of Jim Kjelgaard or Albert Payson Terhune, the "Chronicles of Narnia" series by C. S. Lewis, the "Mrs. Piggle Wiggle" stories of Betty MacDonald, "The Borrowers" by Mary Norton, "Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell, "Encyclopedia Brown" by Donald J. Sobol, "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, "Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain, the "Boxcar Children" by Gertrude Chandler Warner, the "Little House" series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, "Charlotte's Web" by E. B. White.
More Favorites
Among writers beloved by our parents, grandparents, and maybe us are A. J. Cronin, R. F. Delderfield, D. E. Stevenson, Angela Thirkell, Benedict Freedman, L. M. Montgomery, Gene Stratton Porter, Elswyth Thane, Effie Wilder, Kathryn Forbes, Thyra Bjorn, Rosamunde Pilcher, and Marcia Willett.
That special class of mystery known as "cozies" is akin to the gentle reads mentioned above in focusing on a small, closed community and in keeping violence and dastardly deeds off stage. Agatha Christie is the prime example of a cozy mystery author. Other favorites include Lillian Jackson Braun, author of "The Cat Who" series, Nancy Atherton, creator of the "Aunt Dimity" ghost mysteries, Dorothy Gilman, author of the "Mrs. Pollifax" series, and Alexander McCall Smith, whose Precious Ramotswe, Botswanan proprietor of "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency", has charmed legions of readers. The new Chet and Bernie series by Spencer Quinn, about a private detective and his K-9 sidekick, is narrated by the dog from a fresh perspective on detective work, and is a real winner.
The old adage that "laughter is the best medicine" really is true. Try these for a chuckle or a belly buster. Anything by Bailey White, the Georgia kindergarten teacher turned NPR commentator, is good for a laugh. "Mama Makes Up Her Mind" and "Sleeping at the Starlite Motel" are collections of short essays about her family and her teaching experiences that are especially funny. "The Uncommon Reader" by Alan Bennett is a fable about what happens when a Very Important Person begins to think about what she reads. Don Marquis' tales of "Archy and Mehitabel" are classics of sly social commentary told by a typewriting cockroach and a cat reincarnated from the time of Cleopatra. Richard Peck's "A Long Way from Chicago" and "A Year Down Yonder" are hilarious tales set in the Depression. Katherine Tucker Windham is a well-known storyteller from Alabama whose tales of growing up in the South will charm your socks off. Clyde Edgerton's "Raney" and "Walking Across Egypt" are laugh-out-loud funny. And anything by Ferrol Sams ("Run with the Horsemen")or Bill Bryson ("I'm A Stranger Here Myself")may have you rolling in the floor.
There are so many more. But try one or two or three of these, and by the time you have read them, spring will be here, and maybe we'll all feel a little bit sunnier! For these and more comfort reading, visit www.tcplweb.org or call 988-2541.

The Lakeside Blog springs forth from the creative mind of Michelle Bruck at the Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT. She writes about events, great places to visit and cool things to do – in and around Lakeville & Salisbury Connecticut.

Enjoy the View
A question often asked of our staff: "Do any of your rooms have a view of the Lake?" The answer to that is YES! We have one accommodation that has a view of the lake, and that is our private lake cottage that I've blogged about. It has the most amazing view of Lake Wononpakook, what Interlaken considers our "back" lake. If you are unfamiliar with this secluded cabin, please read my blog dated June 21st or view the Guestroom/Lakeside tab.
So if the rest of our 85 rooms do not have a lake view, what kind of view do they have, you ask?
Here is a view from a Main Building Second Floor King room. This photo is not grainy - its taken from the screened-in porch. I always tell people these rooms have a distant view of the pool - and this is what I mean. Our Poolside first floor rooms also have this view from their porch (at eye level of course), but without the screened-in feature.
Here is a view from a Main Building Second Floor room - a new view! Prior to this past week, we would have said the view was of just the parking lot, but thanks to proper excavation and proper planting (thank you Junior's and Salisbury Garden Center!) the view is now a lovely one! As the final plantings happen this week, the view will only get better. For those Guests that have the need to keep an eye on their 'baby' in the parking lot, this is still a good choice. The first floor rooms have an even more green view.
This is a view from one of our Townhouse Suites/Adjoining Rooms. Sit and relax on your deck right on the grounds with the 'other side' of the pool and a distant view of the main building. Plenty of lawn space perfect for the kids to toss a frisbee! Adirondack chairs and picnic tables dot this courtyard area.
Peaking through the blinds of a newly installed back door in our Woodside Building. Our pet friendly rooms give you access to a pleasant grassy area for pups and their owners to relax or play.
Here is a view from behind the Sunnyside Building, our Victorian-styled house. The wraparound porch wraps right around to this view - grab an adirondack chair or two and relax the day away. Wine is also a nice compliment to this set-up!
Countryside, our last building. My apologies, but I owe you a photo of the view from that building. The house with eight king bedded rooms is completely occupied right now, so I'll snap one soon and post it at a later date. I can give you a hint, though: there will be green in the photo.
Let's move to the restaurant. Here is a view from Morgan's Deck - just a distant peak of the pool, waving to you while you are enjoying our full breakfast buffet offered every weekend. If you need help in deciding what to do for the day, this view may help with that! (I zoomed in, there's plenty of grassy area in between...) The other views from the breakfast room are of the gardens around the wedding pavilion and trees, more trees. Morgan's deck is also used for private luncheons and events and, very soon, for Morgan's dinner dining.
Remember: the lake is only a short walk away from all of our Guestrooms!
Check-out Sunday!
I don't mean "check it out", like "take a look" - I mean the hotel version of "check-out" - like depart, leave, vacate! It is one of my favorite days - and not because Guests are leaving, but because I can hear all of the fun things they did at Interlaken all weekend long. Now this weekend was an unbelievably gorgeous one, so needless to say I was a bit jealous by some of the things I heard:
- "We canoed around the perimeter of the lake". I have done this before - here's a photo I took last year when I had the pleasure. The lake and surrounding homes are gorgeous. The lake is peaceful and calm, just lovely. Major jealous!
- "We took our bikes and rode along Route 41 over to Sharon". I have not biked the flats of Route 41, but have driven it many times, of course, and have always admired the view right over the crest of the very first hill. Ellsworth Farm is over in Sharon - perfect place for picking fresh fruit!
- "We were here for our wedding tasting". OK, clearly one of my favorites! Tastings are so much fun for the upcoming married couple-to-be as our Chef's put together a sampling of their wedding food selections. Obviously no wedding tastings for me, but I have done many dining room tastings - remember just the previous blog, I'm taking photos of Dan taking photos of our latest menu items? I had a sampling then - delicious. And I am realizing I didn't even tell you about the most amazing dessert from that day: Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Rhubarb, Toasted Oat Crumb, and Coconut "Snow". It's a seasonal one, of course, so be sure to visit Morgan's soon so you don't miss out on this one! (Sorry I don't have a photo of this one - I ate it too fast!)
- "We plan to hike to Bear Mountain." After biking the Harlem Valley Rail Trail on Saturday, this couple was going to wrap up their weekend with a hike to Connecticut's highest peak. What a gorgeous clear and sunny morning for a nice strenuous hike up the Appalachian Trail - major jealous here! I have yet to hike to Bear Mountain, but have hiked over at Sunset Rock in Copake Falls, NY - a much less strenuous hike but with equally beautiful views of the Hudson Valley - even in March!
- "I was here performing for Tri-Arts". Yes, even the performers stay with us! Here's a comment we just received on our Facebook page: Had such a wonderful time at the Interlaken that I left my bag there! Jealous that my dirty clothes will get to spend another night at this fine establishment. Hopefully, the gang and I will be back soon!
Thank you, Guests, for checking out!
Photo Double Take
I love my little blog camera - it's perfect for what I use it for. Photos of the wedding pavillion, the gardens, the lake, the rooms, and of course - food! Like the one of my to-go dinner the other night, sitting on my lap - I just point and shoot and I am done! To have the utmost clarity, zoom or flash options is not 100% necessary for my purpose, but when it is time to update property or food photos for our website and for other publications, it is time to bring in the professional! Our "professional" in this case is Dan Bolognani, also the Inn's Director of Sales and Marketing. Photography has been a long-time passion and interest of Dan's, and with the right equipment on hand, he can get the job done! Here he is, in action, while I do my best not to eat what he's trying to take a picture of!
The right equipment.
He loves this so much he even smiles when he's taking the picture!
Now let's focus on the amazing creations by Chef Scimeca and his Culinary Team!
Roasted Hudson Valley Duck Breast with White Asparagus, Fava Beans and Beech Mushrooms with a Red Wine Caramel.
Rare Seared Tuna with Fresh Hawaiian Hearts of Palm, Cucumber Mignoette, Lime
Thinly sliced House-Cured Wild Coho Salmon with Edamame Puree, Black Sesame Crumble
Seared Maine Diver Scallops with Spring Sweet Pea, Lemon, Pistachio Topping
Some of these items are specials for this weekend only, so come and visit us now!
Honeymoon Hideaway
We were there on our honeymoon and I can sum it up in one word....AWESOME !!
Everything about it...the location, the staff, the cottage.
We enjoyed every minute we were there.
Thank you so much for a memorable honeymoon @ Interlaken Inn.
The Cottage:
Morgan's - Make Mine to go, lakeside
Did you know you can take this wonderful entree from Morgan's Restaurant:
East Coast Red Snapper with Saffron Potato, Zucchini, Spanish Chorizo Topping, Aioli
right on down to this:
Interlaken Inn Lakefront
and enjoy your dinner lakeside? Yes, you can.
Come in and place your order (allow yourself a few minutes, it could be hard to choose), then enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail while we prepare your meal freshly made-to-order using as many local ingredients as possible. We will put your dinner in recycled to go containers and give you all the necessary accompaniments. Take a leisurely walk to the private Interlaken lakefront and wah-lah - you have an instant picnic!
Fabulous Feedback
You know how you get a bunch of emails in your inbox and you "browse" through them - pretty much looking for the "good ones" and clicking on them first? Well, anything with an "RE: Thank you for choosing Interlaken Inn" in the subject line gets clicked on right away by my little mouse! I absolutely love reading what our Guests have to say, and here is one that I just had to share with all of you!
I'm very pleased to let you know how thoroughly i enjoyed my stay at the Interlaken Inn on 8th & 9th June 2012. Our stay was in the framework of a gathering of family and friends in honor of a very special birthday for my sister.
I had the pleasure of a stay at the Interlaken Inn last August (2011). Both my visit then, as this month's, were made most enjoyable by the comfort and consideration you and your staff offer your clientele, and the outstanding facilities each guest is enabled to enjoy.
You may be certain that every time i visit the beautiful Berkshire corner of Connecticut, if my stay cannot be at the home of my sister in nearby Taconic, it's the Interlaken Inn that will be my address. Additionally, the Interlaken Inn can count upon my highest recommendation to friends and family for their stays in Connecticut.
I appreciate your thoughtful follow-up, and am pleased that i can respond with my highest grade and evaluation.
Thank you, Mr. Collin, for sharing your experiences at Interlaken!
Lakeside Beauty!
As I was at the lake yesterday taking those great photos, I got to meet this beautiful girl:
It's not every day that you see a statuesque beauty like this, walking to the Interlaken lakefront. She is the first Great Dane that I've seen at the Interlaken - forgive me other Great Dane owners if you've stayed with us and I've missed you! But how could I have missed you with it being one of the tallest dog breeds in the world? I was told by her owners that she was enjoying her stay in our pet friendly Woodside Building. Speaking of which, have I showed you pictures yet of our new look out there?
It may be hard to see it, but all rooms have new wood floors. There is one Queen bed along with a twin pull-out sofa, and each room also has a microwave and refrigerator. We also provide a cozy dog bed and monogrammed blanket for every pup in the room. They need a good night's sleep too!
Here's the completely renovated bathroom. Granite top, glass enclosed shower unit - way more space than the previous bathroom - and if you've stayed with us before you will agree 100%!
Here's the last new phase of the Woodside pet friendly building: the new back door in each Guestroom that exits out to this little sitting area, the perfect spot for dogs and their owners to relax in the fresh country air and meet others. The dog walk area is located right near by, with plenty of other walking available on the property - especially down to the lakefront!
Visit our Pet Friendly page for more information regarding pet accommodations. And of course we have a special Pet-Away Package that will make your dog only want to vacation at Interlaken! I hope to meet you and your loyal canine your next visit!
Lovely Lakeville Lake
Fragrant Picking
Sweet, juicy, and loaded with nutrients, strawberries are one of nature's tastiest and healthiest foods. They are also now ripe in this area and ready for picking! Driving through Litchfield County, CT as well Dutchess County and Columbia County, NY the signs are up at the farms with both "u-pick" and "pre-picked". Ellsworth Farm in Sharon, CT, about 10 minutes from the Interlaken, is one of those places offering both. Have you picked lately? If you have the time (like I did on Sunday afternoon) I would certainly recommend it. It has been a long time since I had done that, and it was the first time for my young daughter. We got our empty box and headed out! Rows and rows of strawberry plants in the fields, so fragrant from the hot afternoon sun. There were so many berries on each plant and in a very small section my daughter and I made out like bandits! It was great bonding time (we listed all of the meals we'd be having with strawberries over the next week) and it was wonderful to be out in the fresh country air. Be sure to make time to "smell the strawberries" this season! Ellsworth makes it easy by offering picking 7 days per week.
P.S. We decided the best way to eat strawberries is just like this!
Eat, Drink and Be Merry!
Although Eric Limon did not take these photos (see previous blog for amazing wedding photos), they still show you how Joann at Country Gardener's decorated the wedding space for the bride and groom today!

Still, Vermont is the second largest state in New England after Maine, just a few hundred square miles larger than New Hampshire.
The Green Mountain State is bordered by Canada, New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. It is 157.4 miles in length, 90.3 miles wide at the Canadian border*, and 41.6 miles along the Massachusetts border. The Connecticut River forms the eastern boundary, while the western boundary runs down the middle of Lake Champlain for more than half of its length.
The state has 223 mountains over 2,000 feet in elevation. The mountainous areas of the state are primarily forested. In fact, although Vermont was virtually clear-cut of timber during the late 19th century, more than 75 percent of the state's total area is now forested. Beneath the mountains and rolling hills are the fertile valleys that support extensive dairy, crop, vegetable, and fruit production.
As mountain ranges go, the Green Mountains are very old, and have been sculpted to their present form during several ice ages. Granite, marble, slate, asbestos and talc have all been mined from the range.
Total Area: 9,609 square miles
Highest Elevation: Mt. Mansfield, 4,395.3 ft.
Lowest Elevation: Lake Champlain shoreline, 95 ft.
Major Mountains: Killington, 4,229 ft., Mt. Ellen, 4,083 ft., Camel's Hump, 4,083 ft., Mt. Abraham, 4,017 ft.
Major Rivers: Missisquoi River, Lamoille River, Winooski River, White River, Otter Creek, West River, Batten Kill, and the Connecticut River which runs along Vermont's Eastern boundary with New Hampshire
Major Lakes: Lake Memphremagog, Lake Willoughby, Lake Bomoseen, Lake St. Catherine, and Lake Champlain, the nation's sixth largest fresh water lake, which runs along Vermont's western boundary with New York

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
mid-14c., "flat part of a hinge," probably from Old English -twist (in mæsttwist "mast rope, stay;" candeltwist "wick"), from Proto-Germanic *twis-, from root of two. Original senses suggest "dividing in two" (cf. cognate Old Norse tvistra "to divide, separate," Gothic twis- "in two, asunder," Dutch twist, German zwist "quarrel, discord," though these senes have no equivalent in English), but later ones are of "combining two into one," hence the original sense of the word may be "rope made of two strands."
Meaning "thread or cord composed of two or more fibers" is recorded from 1550s. Meaning "act or action of turning on an axis" is attested from 1570s. Sense of "beverage consisting of two or more liquors" is first attested c.1700. Meaning "thick cord of tobacco" is from 1791. Meaning "curled piece of lemon, etc., used to flavor a drink" is recorded from 1958. Sense of "unexpected plot development" is from 1941.
The popular rock 'n' roll dance craze is from 1961, but twist was used to describe popular dances in 1894 and again in the 1920s. To get one's knickers in a twist "be unduly agitated" is British slang first attested 1971.
early 14c. (implied in past tense form twaste), "to wring," from the source of twist (n.). Sense of "to spin two or more strands of yarn into thread" is attested from late 15c. Meaning "to move in a winding fashion" is recorded from 1630s. To twist the lion's tail was U.S. slang (1895) for "to provoke British feeling." Related: Twisted; twisting.
To waste time; be forced to sit idly and perhaps rotate one's thumbs about one another: I was anxious to help, but all I could do was twiddle my thumbs while they debated (1846+)
vigorous dance that developed in the early 1960s in the United States and became internationally popular after its adoption in fashionable circles. The twist's characteristic hip, arm, and leg movements have been described as "drying the buttocks with an imaginary towel while grinding out an imaginary cigarette with one foot." Partners synchronized body positions and gyrations but never touched. Dances that evolved from the twist-for example, the frug and the watusi-were invariably performed by shaking the pelvis. In these dances partners only sometimes coordinated their movements. Among the suggested precursors of the twist are included the shimmy and the black bottom, and a song that was popular before 1910 included the lines "Mama, mama, where is sis? / Down on the levee doin' the double twis'."

Sharon Shinn
Oi, this is the first time I start a thread on this forum . . . *excited*
Sharon Shinn's name turned up recently in another tread and I started to wonder again: has there ever been a discussion about her works?
As far as I was able to find out searching the forum: no.
So now, did you read her books? Do you like them? If so, why? Or why not?
(Hey Rachel, go on, ramble about 'Wrapt in Crystel' )
And yes, I read all of her books and enjoyed them all - even so that does not mean that I consider every one of it to be really good . . . but let's first see what others have to say.

Anyway, I read Archangel when it first came out in mass market paperback. At the time, I thought it was pretty good. An interesting blend of Religous themes with Technology in a mock-medieival/renassaince period. My only gripe is that it bordered on romance a bit. Thinking about it I could see people who have enjoyed Jacqueline Carey's work enjoying this.
A friend let me borrow it based on our common enjoyment of Carl Sagan's Contact which had similar themes, though explored in different ways.
August 19th, 2002, 04:28 PM #3
I am a very shy person.
And you got me there, I am one of those people that enjoyed Jacqueline Carey's book(s). Only the sex and violence in those books is much higher and not necessarily to everyone's liking . . .
The theme is even more explored in the following books, although I liked the first one most.
What I liked about Archangel was the way music was an important part and especially how Shinn described the singing - for me that was very intense.

(Hey Rachel, go on, ramble about 'Wrapt in Crystel' )
I'm really picky about what books I read, and a lot of people probably think that my tastes are strange. I will get one thing straight before any misconceptions arise; I like my books to have a dash of romance, but not so much that the romance becomes the entire book.
In Wrapt in Crystal I had hoped to find a good story, interesting characters, and a nice romance like in "Summers", but instead I find a totally unlikeable, flat, undeveloped, main character; and a convoluted plot dealing with intergalactic murders and weird religious sects. Apparently there is some religious figure called "Ava", I could not figure out if this is their god or if Ava is some machine floating around in the sky.
Probably the thing I disliked most about the book was the characters. As I stated before, I didn't like the main character, and the others weren't much better. A character would pop up and hang around with him for awhile, then totally be forgotten. All of the girls in the books seemed to be very similar.
I didn't really like the romance(s) either. The guy has sex with at least two different women throughout the book, and it's not the kind of sex that I like. I can do without the "he made love to her on the golden beach sands under the watchful eyes of Ava and any other god who wished to see" and then "he" going off and trysting with a bunch of other women kind of thing.
Now like I said, I have weird opinions, and you may be reading my post and saying, "Huh? That sounds like a great book/That's no reason not to like a book!" but ... I didn't like it. The half of it I can't even put into words.
August 19th, 2002, 05:22 PM #5
Now for the positive Sharon Shinn post.
I love Summers at Castle Auburn. I think I stumbled onto the title while browsing on Amazon, and checked it out of the library the next time I went. I got so involved in the story and the characters that I stayed up all night reading it. I can't even really describe why I like it so much ... I just do. It made me scream in frustration (for the characters), cry, laugh, and go "awww". Plus, I liked Bryan's murder.
August 19th, 2002, 10:45 PM #6
Have read only 1 book of Shinn, and that one I liked: "Archangel".
Though it was science-fiction, I like the twist of angels and deity in the story. Kinda like Zelazney's "Lord of Light" or Brust's book (forgot the title, about God and angels). Yeah, I also liked the romance aspect. (Better than SOT romance anyway.)
So Rachel, if you liked "Summers", maybe you'll liked "Archangel".
Plus, I liked Bryan's murder.

Ah....Archangel....yes I've read this one. I didn't recognise the author at first but now I know who you're talking about.
I enjoyed this one too. As I've said before, I do like a bit of romance sprinkled in with my fantasy, so this appealed to me. For me, it was an original concept - the religious connections, angels etc, so was a very entertaining read.
August 19th, 2002, 11:42 PM #8
I'll have to read Archangel. It looks quite appealing; especially the main female protagonist's name.
August 20th, 2002, 07:13 AM #9
Anyone read 'The Shape-Changer's Wife'? I had to search for it long and hard (in Germany this book is already out-of-print, just like Archangel. And back then I was not yet reading in English so much.) and I think this absolutely was worth it!
About 'Wrapt in Crystal': wow, my brain starts to have blind spots. I used to really have a good memory about stories and story details - not anymore.
I totally forgot that he had sex with another woman as well . . . darn, with whom and when? Please tell me! I don't have my books here, so I can't look it up.
And I rather liked 'Wrapt in Crystal', not like Archangel or Shape-Changer's Wife or Summers at Castle Auburn, yet more than 'Heart of Gold' or 'Jenna Starborn'.
I found the religious concept in this book very interesting and I liked the main character exploring the two different sects and his own feelings about faith.
About 'Jenna Starborn': I would like to know someone's opinion who first read 'Jane Eyre' and then 'Jenna Starborn' - well, I at least bought Jane and will read the classic once I got the time.
Anyone who knows what I am writing about?
This year seems to be a time of exploring fantasy/scifi books that make you want to read old classics . . .

I haven't gotten around to reading Jenna Starborn yet, although Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books of all time. I had it on hold when it was first released, but then someone forgot to give me the message when it came in, so I didn't get it, and since then I just keep forgetting to put my name back on the hold list.

I have only read Summers at Castle Auburn and although it was a fun, light read, it was way too predictable in many areas. So, it was ok, but it didn't make me rush out and try her other books. Perhaps I will give her work another try...
August 20th, 2002, 07:30 PM #12
I really like books that are "fun and light", so reading it did make me want to go run out and give her other books a try.
August 20th, 2002, 10:09 PM #13
I've read Archangel, Jovah's Angel, and The Alleluia Files. I enjoyed all three of them, but the third one less so, because it was done away from the angel culture.
I have Heart of Gold, but have not read it yet.

I read Lickiss' Eccentric Circles and didn't enjoy it very much ... it was certainly light and at times had the potential of being fun, but a lot of the time I was just annoyed by it. :lol:

If you haven't seen video of Tom Hanks telling a story at Michael Clark Duncan's funeral on Monday, you need to because it's hilarious. Tom repeated a story that Michael once told him about joining a gang when he was a kid. The upshot was that when his mother found out, she hit him in the head with a frying pan! And he had to go back to the gang and tell them that his mom wouldn't let him be a member! It's a really funny story!

I know it was her cloak that was stolen to help snatch the Silmarils back from Morgoth, but... is there any fanfic about her out there? I cannot find any on here... which of course has set my creative juices flowing. Please, before I write something already written, can someone play Obi-Wan to my Princess Leia* and help me out?

I do not.
For every day I draw breath is another day closer to that end, bitter as it may be.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse Returning To North America
Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Neil Young & Crazy Horse is set for a handful of North American shows starting in late-August. Young will be busy all summer taking in a 17-date European trek, which will hit Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and England. On August 31st, Young and the band kick things off on this side of the Atlantic with a show in Dudas, Ontario at the Greenbelt Harvest Picnic at the Christie Lake Conservation Area.
Neil Young told us that over the course of his career, he's happy to have a diverse community of musicians that he can pick and choose from to help serve his music on a project-by-project basis: "Generally, if I'm writing some real rock n' roll songs and some real basic, primitive rock and roll songs, usually I'll go to Crazy Horse. And if I'm writing more complicated songs or things that are, are more complex or, y'know, where the rhythm patterns are different and they require a little more refinement, then I'll go somewhere else."
Crazy Horse guitarist Frank "Poncho" Sampedro says that despite Young's constant need to shake things up by playing with different musicians, he seems to consider the band his musical home: "When you look at it, there is only one band that Neil continues to play with. He's played with a lot of different bands, but I'd have to say that we are, overall, the most consistent of all the bands he's played with -- even though he's played with Crosby, Stills & Nash quite a bit, but I think he's even played with us more than them."
Neil Young & Crazy Horse North American tour dates (subject to change):
August 31 - Dundas, ON - Greenbelt Harvest Picnic at Christie Lake Conservation Area
September 2 - Port Chester, NY - The Capitol Theatre
September 4 - Ottawa, ON - Ottawa Folk Festival Hog's Back Park
September 7 - Arrington, VA - Interlocken Music Festival Oak Ridge Farm
September 21 - Saratoga Springs, NY - Farm Aid at Saratoga Performing Arts Center

I have had this frame for less then a year and all the slats have broke around the edges and the frame has come apart on every corner, meaning the screws just striped free from the wood and I had to use wood glue to glue it back together and I am not a large person at 160lbs. this item sucks and wih I could get a refund
While the color matches exact, the construction seems to be good, the mattress doesn't fit snug. Since it doesn't have a headboard the bed is pushed against the wall. When the mattress is pushed all the way up there is almost a four inch gap between the bottom of the mattress and the rail. There is also close to two inches of gap on both sides. I expect some space, but I have never had a bed that has had that much space. I gave it one stars because while everything else seems fine, none if it matters if the bed doesn't fit.
I was a little hesitant when purchasing this bed because my husband and I are not small and we were worried that it would be flimsy and would not be able to stand up to the normal "wear and tear" so to speak. If any of you have the same trepidation, do not worry, it is strong and sturdy and you don't have to worry about creaks, groans, or cracks. We are going to add a couple of two by fours to the middle and screw them in for additional support but even without the added support it is a sturdy bed. Very pleased. I bought the end tables that go with the bed and am pleased with those as well.
I assembled it by myself, which was a little awkward, but doable. Fairly sturdy, seems like good wood. I wish it was a couple more inches higher so i could fit my guitar cases under the bed. Only real complaint is how far the frame sticks out around the mattress. It leaves a gap between the top of your mattress and the wall, and all the way around the mattress. Plus I've already stubbed my toe 3 times and I'm sure to break a bone someday.
We love the bed. We had a short time adjusting to the lower profile (we used to have a bed that almost needed a stepstool). It is well made and sturdy; and matches our other bedroom furniture quite well. It was relatively simple to assemble-my husband likes to brag that we did it together without fighting! (that would be because we are two hard-headed people!) We would recommend this bed highly.
Great bed, showed in great condition and was easy to assemble. Says it takes 2 people but I did it easily by myself.
I love this bed. The only problem with this bed is that it did not come with directions to put it together.
Love it! Easy to put together!
Best sleep I have had in a really long time!! I love my new bed!!!!!!
Doesn't make sounds like past ones I've had. Well built. Easily assembled.

UPDATED: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 - 5:33pm
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (KVEO) — A Corpus Christi middle school student bitten by ants during a football game has died.
A moment of silence was held at Haas Middle School Monday morning for Cameron Espinosa, who passed away on Sunday evening, at Driscoll Children's Hospital.
Medics took the 13-year-old to the hopsital last Thursday night after he was bitten on the legs and stomach in the middle of a halftime huddle on the school's athletic fields. Authorities say the teen experienced a severe allergic reaction and lost consciousness twice before emergency crews arrived.
Counselors were on hand at the school to assist students and staff. All athletic and extracurricular activities at the school are canceled for the entire week.
The field will not be used again until the school district treats it.

HDN All-Area 2013 - Webster named top coach
Published on -12/15/2013, 8:24 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
La CROSSE -- Jon Webster admitted he was a "mess" and a "nervous wreck" in his first season as La Crosse High School's head football coach in 2009. Webster, a Leopard alumnus, was in his first head coaching job and just fourth year as a football coach at any level. La Crosse was expected to have a down year and went 7-3.
At the end of the season, La Crosse lost to Meade, 46-12, in Week 9 and Elkhart, 60-26, in the first round of the playoffs. It still remains the last regular season and first round playoff loss of Webster's tenure.
"There were a couple of games that we were just outmatched," Webster said. "I felt a lot of it with me being outmatched as a coach, and the last two games we played that year really pushed me to get better as a coach."
Before and after the first year, Webster received plenty of support from a community that loves football, former coach Ryan Cornelsen and current La Crosse superintendent Bill Keeley, a former Leopard head football coach.
"I had several dads and moms come up to me and say, 'You are the guy that we wanted, so that made that transition real smooth,' " Webster said.
After '08, he went to clinics and read books, especially Lou Holtz's book "Winning Every Day: The Game Plan for Success." Webster has read the book multiple times and calls it his "football Bible." Since then, Webster is 10-1, 12-1, 11-1 and 12-1 with the Leopard football program.
This season, despite three freshmen starting, the loss of star defensive end Sheldon Schmidt to a Week 4 season-ending knee injury, and multiple personnel changes, La Crosse finished as Class 2-1A state runner-up to Centralia. For his efforts, Webster earned Coach of the Year honors on the 30th annual HDN All-Area Super 11.
"He is a players' coach," junior quarterback Jack Garcia said. " We love to play for him, and he knows what it takes to win."
Webster, who is also a boys' basketball assistant coach and won back-to-back 1A boys' track titles, has won 36 straight regular season games, the longest current run in Kansas. La Crosse has won 10-plus contests in seven of the last eight years. The last three falls is the greatest three-year span in school annals.
"I moved here in third grade, and I noticed the football atmosphere was so much different," Garcia said.
"It's so awesome playing in this town, because we have a community that is behind us no matter what every football season. It's so special for me to play for La Crosse and this community."
Webster was a freshman when Keeley, formerly at Dodge City, came to La Crosse as the head coach and started to change the culture. Webster believes that if Keeley hadn't come to La Crosse, he wouldn't have gone on to play college football and probably wouldn't have become a social studies teacher.
At Bethany, Webster learned from longtime Swede coach Ted Kessinger, another major influence. After college, Webster coached girls' basketball and junior varsity baseball for one season at Gypsum-Southeast of Saline.
The first game he coached was a girls' basketball C team contest that ended in a 54-4 loss to legendary Claflin coach Pat Stiles in a score that could have been much worse. The JV baseball team had a near-perfect record.
Then, Webster coached for two years at Conway Springs and assisted with the junior high and varsity before the Keeley family asked him to come back to La Crosse.
In 2008, Webster was the Leopard defensive coordinator for an 11-1 team. When Cornelsen left for his position at Hays High School, the Leopards offered the job to Webster first. Webster turned down the job, saying he wasn't ready.
La Crosse had some high quality applicants and interviews. Webster was excited to stay on staff and learn from another head coach, but three coaches turned down the position. Webster saw the remaining candidates and wanted the job.
"Not quite possibly ready to do it, but if somebody was not going to be ready, I wanted that somebody to be me," he said.
Backed by the strong support system, Webster has continually improved. After the first year, Webster realized he needed to build more relationships with his players.
"It helped me grow up as a coach, those last two games just getting our tails kicked," he said. "I think that has helped me prepare the last four years for the big games."
Webster wanted to have the same affect Keeley and Kessinger had with him.
"The first group, I didn't do a good job of building relationships within the team, and that's something that I wanted to instill upon the kids that go through this program," he said.
Holtz's book provided the pathway on how to make a difference in players' lives.
Webster still reads parts of the book every spring to refresh his memory. A couple of years ago, a friend gave him an autographed copy.
The book details how coaching is much more than just Xs and Os and having the strongest weight room kids. Success comes when the kids know the coaches care. Players often stay at practice past 7 p.m. simply to hang out and will sometimes text Webster at night asking about class assignments or other things in life.
"It's making sure that the kids know that they are important," Webster said.
This season, La Crosse had big improvements across the board, but especially from senior lineman Cody Lee (team-best 23 tackles for loss, one in his first three years) and junior Andrew Jay (1,986 all-purpose yards, 130 in 2012).
"I think that's how we are able to overachieve," Webster said. "I heard a lot of coaches tell me, 'You guys really overachieved this year, and I think it is we really care so much about each other that we weren't willing to break when things got tough."

Gazing out the window of Flight 700 headed to Frankfurt, Germany, I watched the last fragment of U.S. soil near Philadelphia slowly fade from sight. I pondered what lay ahead for our small group of pioneers.
Armed Forces Entertainment and Paralyzed Veterans of America contacted me more than a year ago about being a part of a special mission called the Outdoor Legends Tour. A small group of hunting personalities representing the North American hunting community would visit troops inside a war zone to personally thank them for their service and sacrifices.
It was not to be a big production, rather a personal handshaking marathon trip with stops at as many camps as possible. Every detail would have to be carefully orchestrated if it was to be carried out safely and successfully.
The group I was part of included Bill Miller from Minnesota, a pillar of the outdoor media world and an all-around nice guy. He was at the helm North American Hunting Club magazine and TV show for 28 years and has extensive gun and hunting knowledge. While Bill is experienced with all types of hunting, his specialty is waterfowl and upland birds, with a real love for training sporting dogs.
Jim Shockey is a world-renowned big game hunter and award-winning TV host. He is from Canada and a wise choice for this mission since so many Canadian military men and women serve alongside U.S. troops and allies. His trademark black cowboy hat is recognizable to hunters everywhere.
Lt. Col. Lew Deal is a retired Marine Cobra pilot who now works with Armed Forces Entertainment among other military and veterans organizations. We were glad to have someone along to advise us on military protocol. Although Lew was our official tour coordinator he soon became just one of the guys.
Ronnie "Cuz" Strickland, the man behind the many successful Mossy Oak TV productions as well as a recognizable hunting personality, was scheduled to be a part of our group. However, a family health crisis kept him from going. I felt really bad for Cuz, since it's truly in his heart to support our fighting men and women in the field.
I completed the diverse quartet. Pretty sure the service people I met from the South appreciated hearing a familiar accent with a sincere "thank y'all."

GSheader The aim of this document is to outline things that can be done to manage Articles using the Front-end of the Joomla! site. Some important functions can be done here without the permissions to login to the Back-end. It is one of a series of documents introducing Joomla! version 1.5.
The Front-end of a Joomla! site is the public interface. It is the part seen by any visitor to the site and you have already used it for adding and altering content. Authors, Editors and Publishers can login to this part of the site, as you have already seen.
Some content management can be done from the Front-end and many Web sites encourage their contributors to do this as it makes the site more interactive and responsive to change.
There are other documents in this series that show you how to add new articles and how to alter them. Most Joomla! sites allow this. The alternative is that content is added in the Back-end, thus limiting the types of people who can update the site. See Get to know the Back-end
To keep a site up-to-date, it is good policy to clear out old content. This is especially applicable to news items or information about events that have past. Unpublishing makes the article invisible to the normal visitor to the web site.
You will still be able to see it - but the edit icon is now a different colour and if you pass the mouse pointer over the title - it gives the information that it is Unpublished.
To get it removed entirely - the site administrator has to delete it in the Back-end.
This too is done in the Publishing part of the editor screen. The detail depends on the design of the web site in use.
Background to Sections and Categories:
These are ways of organising content behind the scenes. The important point is that:-
There is more on this in other documents in this series. See:-
The editor also allows you to:-
There are documents in this series about the Administrator Back-end of Joomla! web sites. These also have references to comprehensive documentation about Administration.

From 17 days camping at Mystery Bay, Far South NSW Coast.
The weather wasn't great of course, but it could've been worse. Our all-female campsite ran very smoothly. I finally managed to chop the firewood (see relevant post), can make a cracking fire without any problems, and did a good job at setting up the tarp. Though... in the first week we got wind gusts up to 100 kph and our tarp got ripped off. While I was sitting in the hammock about 20 metres away and I didn't hear a thing! When I returned it looked like a hurricane had gone through our kitchen. Both pantries had fallen over, my 2-burner stove had been thrown off the table and there was stuff strewn all over the place within a 10 metre radius. The heavy-duty pegs on the wind side were severely bent and had been catapulted to the other side. It was bloody lucky I wasn't actually near that tarp or I could've easily been hit by the poles.
It only took us about 15 minutes to put the tarp up again, I double pegged some of the pegs, but I think them being bent actually helped stabilise the too. The bent ones were really hard to get out when we packed up.
My daughter made some friends on the second day and ran around with the other kids catching bugs and just being feral.
We did both catch some tummy bug, which made my daughter vomit for a day and rendered me unable to get out of bed for 18 hours. I even slept with my tent wide open that night because I just didn't have the energy to get up to close it. It was rather nice actually to lie there looking out at the trees and the ocean and fortunately there weren't many mozzies. Or nasty spiders! And it didn't rain that night.
We had a lovely Xmas with just the 2 of us. After a bit of drama when Santa came to the camping ground on a fire truck a few days earlier and missed our campsite! I ended up calling all the local fire brigades in the area to trace Santa and we ended up finding him at the shops in the nearby town the next day and Xmas was saved. On Christmas Eve my daughter cut decorations out of coloured paper (all shops had sold out of tinsel!) and decorated a bush in our camp. We put our kitchen box with milk, biscuits and a carrot under it and Santa managed to locate it and replaced the goodies with presents.
It's nice to be home and have hot water from the tap and a clean, flushing toilet. But I found it hard to fall asleep last night without the sound of the ocean and the wind in the trees.
Haven't caught up on the other posts yet. Hope you all had a lovely summer holiday!

Harmony Grove continued their quest to another conference title on Tuesday when they played host to Cutter Morning Star. Unfortunately, only one team was to show up against the Eagles.
The Lady Cardinals started the night for Harmony Grove and on a very high note, especially for their confidence, beating the Lady Eagles 45-32 to get to 2-4 in conference play.
The Lady Cardinals opened the first quarter with a 16-4 run heading into the second, thanks big in part to their senior leadership who had 10 of the first quarter points for the Lady Cardinals.
The Bauxite Lady Miners held the Pulaski Robinson Lady Senators to six points in the second half in defeating them 48-24 in 7-4A conference action on Tuesday at Fred Dawson Gym in Bauxite.
"Defensively, I didn't think we played bad," Bauxite Coach Josh Harrison said. "We were out of position a few times, especially in the press. I thought we did a pretty decent job of scrambling and hustling defensively. Out of the press, we had some people out of position and a few people not rotating quick enough. They got a few deep passes and some easy shots there early."
Oops. That's what I have to say to those NBA players who signed contracts with the Chinese Basketball Association when the NBA Lockout was in full effect. The lockout ended on Christmas Day and the NBA is going on with a shortened season, but the Chinese season doesn't end until March, so what are the former NBA players doing that signed contracts with the Chinese teams doing? Staying in China, despite some players' efforts to renege on their contracts.
The Bauxite Miners led by 11 in the first quarter against the Malvern Leopards, but lost 67-51 on Thursday night in 7-4A conference action in Malvern.
The Miners (9-6, 2-2 7-4A) led 17-6 early in the first quarter with the help of two Hunter Holder 3-pointers and took a 21-13 advantage going into the second quarter with help from senior Cody McPherson's nine first-quarter points. Bauxite was up 21-10, but Malvern hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
For most schools throughout the state, the Christmas and New Year's holidays mean time off from homework, class and sports for athletes. But, not for the Harmony Grove senior high basketball teams. Both teams got back to work on Tuesday night, one day before even returning to school full time. The Lady Cardinals kicked the night off with a 3A conference match up against Episcopal. And what a Happy New Year it was for the Lady Cardinals, as they beat the Lady Wildcats 47-24.

The Bauxite Lady Miners came back from their week and a half break and lost 60-49 to the Magnet Cove Lady Panthers on Tuesday in the Jessieville Christmas Classic in Jessieville.

The Lady Miners (9-4) didn't have a problem scoring in the first quarter finishing with 19 points, but defensively, Bauxite couldn't stop Magnet Cove, allowing it to score 18 points in the opening quarter.
