So, I'm quasi-returned, following a cross-country move with few stops and even less Internet access. I'll resume reviews in the next couple of days with a comic I've been sitting on for some time, but I wanted to bring your attention to the latest installment of Marc Ellerby's Ellerbisms (previously reviewed here).
Diary comics are harder than they look, precisely because they require a degree of honesty that most of us are simply not able to offer up; either because we hesitate to stare our true selves in the face or out of respect for our lovely but flawed loved ones. James Kolchalka's American Elf, which I often hold up as the template for successful diary comicking, is often astounding in its honesty. Forget the idle speculation on what it would be like to pet his cat with his penis, it's far more shocking when he chronicles his wife's miscarriage or his now-renowned temper.
There has long been a ghost of a narrative running through Ellerbisms, a story beneath Anna and Marc's relationship. Though we've never gotten a clear picture of what that story is, there have been hints that Marc and Anna have a genuine romance -- which is to say messy and plagued by depression and the occasional existential crisis, but anchored to an unclouded affection. But with this latest installment, Ellerby has led us deeper into their relationship with an incident that is shocking, sad, and strangely intimate when Marc comes home to find that Anna has harmed herself.
It's a difficult scene for a number of reasons. One -- and this speaks to Ellerby's talents as a storyteller -- it could have easily been exploitative. But there is no fetishization here; Ellerby does not show the injury (in fact, he shows us as little as possible to explain what's occurred) and when we see Anna's face, her pain is not larger than life; it is pure, ordinary sadness, the kind that contains confusion and regret, and we understand that anyone could have done what's she's done. Instead, the metaphorical camera is -- as it should be in an autobiographical work -- on Marc, on the rush of blood into the ears on discovering that someone you love has done something terrible, the way our visual information gets chopped up as our brains try not to see what's happened, and that the only actions that make sense are the smallest ones, a hand clasped over a knife and holding someone until the sobbing subsides.
Two, it's remarkable that Ellerby has shared this at all. Presumably Anna signed off on this, and it's bold that she did, not for the sake of art (though I certainly consider Ellerbisms, and the other comics I review, art) and not because it might help someone in a similar situation (though it might), but because what Ellerby is attempting is an exercise in honesty, and though honesty doesn't require a throwing open of all our secrets, including something like this makes it more honest. Because it's not shameful; it's not something that titillates our more voyeuristic nerves; it's just one of those things that happens, and it happened to them.
It will be interesting to see how Ellerbisms handles the fallout of all this, but I'm not expecting any sort of exposition. Marc and Anna will continue on with their lives, and this incident will just be one part of that.

BOX 6-1 Substantive Study Tasks*
* The sixth task was to prepare a written report with findings, conclusions, and recommendations for the DoD and the VA that will be available to the general public.
which would provide lessons for designing more effective FHCCs in the future. Thus the evaluation framework looks at a much broader range of explanatory variables than internal processes (called implementation initiatives in the evaluation framework in Appendix B) that might affect outcomes, such as a single chain of command or integrated clinics. The broader framework includes the influence of the national and local contexts and of organizational capabilities and readiness. This approach makes it possible to understand not only if it is a successful demonstration (or not) but also which factors made it successful (or not).
Task 1 asks for criteria for assessing the "success" of the FHCC demonstration in the short term and the longer term. The framework in Appendix B considers short-term outcomes to be those observed in the first year or 2 and long-term outcomes to be those that emerge after 3–5 years. The Lovell FHCC is a difficult case because the phenomenon being demonstrated—an integrated health care center—was not fully in place the day it became operational and, in terms of having an electronic health record and other information management systems in place to support integrated operations, may not be fully in place within the 5-year time frame of the demonstration. Nevertheless, there will be lessons to learn, as Chapter 3 demonstrates, and some outcomes can be measured, although it might take several years to discern effects.

Another UFO off my list. (pic1)
I dragged this quilt top out of the drawer and quilted it up to give to my son for his office sofa. It was a mystery quilt done at a guild retreat several years ago and I liked the colors so much.
It's the first mystery quilt I've ever done that turned out well. I usually just put them away disgusted, and now won't do mysteries anymore without seeing a picture of the finished idea so I can choose better fabric. But this one surprised me.
This will be a nap quilt for a child waiting for Dad to get done with his work.
I like the colors also - perfect for a nap quilt! I really like your rounded edges on the binding!
"This will be a nap quilt for a child waiting for Dad to get done with his work." Boy oh boy - have I been there! Not easy for either one!
I am sure they both will enjoy the quilt.
Great quilt.
I looked at your other post with the pic showing the closeup of the quilting.
I am with the others...I love the swoops.
I also like the dotted fabrics you used.
I have always liked small-dot fabrics. I think your fabrics give the quilt a comfortable, cozy feel.
It's great! Nice "masculine" look to it. I also like the rounded corners.
I have never done a mystery quilt because I like to know the results as well but this one turned out great. Interesting pattern and the fabric choices are perfect. Would like to know more about the rounded corners they look like fun way to go. Very nice. TFS

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe reports:
While Senate Republicans continue to push for a vote on the House-passed health care repeal bill as early as this week, they are aware that the repeal won't summon the 60 votes needed in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
So today two GOP lawmakers announced a separate attack on the new law – a bill that would allow states to opt out of it.
"Instead of requiring states to follow Obamacare's one-size-fits-all approach to health care policy, our bill lets states decide what works best for their citizens," Sen. John Barrasso, R-WY, said at a press conference today on Capitol Hill.
"This is basically giving states the right to come up with a plan that works best for them," he said.
"We're going to bring this up every time we can to make sure that the Senate is on record as to whether or not the states should have the ability to opt out and choose their own path when it comes to Obama health care," said the bill's co-sponsor Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC.
Graham called their approach "the third front" to attack the health care law, with the others being the full repeal bill and the states' lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the law. Graham said yesterday's Florida ruling that the law was unconstitutional was "a dagger into the heart of Obamacare."
"The way this bill became law was the worst of Washington and I'm going to do everything I can to bring it down and start over," he said, denouncing the process as one marred by "Chicago-style sleazy politics."
The proposal from Graham and Barrasso would allow states to opt-out of the law's major provisions such as the individual and employer mandates and the expansion of Medicaid.
"This bill, this opt-out provision, would take health care to the streets of America, not just the streets of Washington," Graham said.
"The goal is to repeal and replace. And you've got to ask yourself this question: why are 26 states suing the federal government if they didn't believe there was a problem with this bill?"
Meanwhile, the entire Senate Republican caucus is now united in support of the full repeal bill – all 47 GOP senators have signed on to it. However, that is well short of the 60 needed for Senate passage, even if it does come up for a vote.

In Florida, residents were recently stunned with strange unidentified flying objects in the dark sky hovering over the waters of Cape Coral. The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), whose mission is to monitor and study UFO activities, was quick to solve the mystery in the area.
Witness Pete Maccio, a Cape Coral resident, admitted that he had seen the strange lights flicker in the early hours of the morning at the South Cape. "I never saw anything like that before. They were small lights that hovered over the water at slow sleep and then they disappeared," Maccio stated.
Pete Maccio and the other Cape Coral residents considered alien life form existed as the UFOs appeared over the yacht club. However, it turns out the culprit behind the reported strange lights could be the sky lanterns.
According to MUFON, most of the reported cases of UFOs were explained with the use of sky lanterns. The increasingly trendy device uses hot air in order to drift at a high distance in the sky.
Chris Whited, the American Discount Firework store owner at Fort Myers, sells these products to his customers and confirmed that some people can mistake the sky lantern for a UFO. The store owner appears to agree with MUFON's explanation and even shared his personal experience upon seeing a sky lantern for the first time from a distance.
Chris revealed that he was perplexed so he took a second look at the object in the sky. "They're going to think this is a UFO. It will get to where it's a pen prick of light because of the distance and height," Chris stated.

Burned CD-R won't play in car CD player
confusedbodJanuary 27, 2013
I'm trying to put 8 cassette tape recordings on to CD so they will play in my car (the total playing time is about 7 hours). I have converted them to 8 MP3 files and the total file size is about 377KB so I'm thinking they should easily fit on to a 700MB CD. I know the files need to be converted to CDA files so I opened Windows Media Player, set it to burn an audio CD, dragged the 8 MP3 files to the burnlist window and clicked burn. But all that happens is that it burns only the first file on the list to a CDA file and then spits out the CD.
Can anyone please explain why this is happening and how I can get over the problem?

Michelin Star Latkes and Sufganiyot
I have long considered myself somewhat a latke expert, with several varieties under my belt, and never a single latke leftover when serving to my friends and family. That is until I had the chance to spend time with Michelin Star Chef Bill Telepan and Pastry Chef Larissa Raphael of the acclaimed New York City restaurant Telepan last week.
Chef Bill Telepan isn't Jewish, though his latkes might indicate otherwise. In truth, Bill grew up in suburban New Jersey eating potato pancakes every holiday season prepared by his Hungarian mother. He carries this tradition on with his own family, serving up a big Christmas breakfast of eggs, bacon, pancakes and, what else, latkes.
But he has also been serving up latkes at his restaurant for nearly ten years, and even won an award for his latkes at the Annual Latke Festival in New York City several years ago. He likes serving them two ways: plain with sour cream and homemade applesauce, or as an appetizer with smoked salmon and creme fraiche (a personal favorite).
So what can a Michelin Star chef teach a nice Jewish girl about frying latkes? Well, a lot. And it turns out I had been making a couple of mistakes.
Bill shared that you want to keep the natural potato starch in the mix, but also need to remove excess liquid. After mixing all the latke ingredients, he allows the mix to sit around 5-10 minutes. Then he drains it, mixes the eggs with the leftover potato starch, and adds that back into the potatoes.
Don't squeeze out too much liquid: I had been squeezing out the liquid from my latke each time I formed a patty, but Bill told me you don't want to do that, because then the latkes will be dry. Instead, lightly form a patty using your hands or a tablespoon to keep the moisture in, creating a fluffier and creamier latke.
Onion is key for Bill, who uses a ratio of 1 small onion to every 1 ½ lbs of russet potatoes. When I tried out this ratio over the weekend, my dad immediately said "wow, great onion flavor" so I guess Bill is really on to something.
Another key element is adding enough salt, both in the mix of the latkes, and then a small sprinkle after they come out of the hot oil. While 2 tsp of salt for 1 ½ lbs of potatoes may seem like a lot, Bill pointed out that potatoes really absorb the salt and need a little extra to bring out the flavor.
In my time at the restaurant I also had the chance to spend time with Pastry Chef Larissa Raphael, who has been serving up some of New York City's best desserts for years, who decided to try her hand at serving Hanukkah jelly donuts this year for the first time.
You have probably had a jelly donut around Hanukkah time. And they are fine, I mean what is bad about fried dough. But what I loved about Larissa's Hanukkah donuts is the balance of rich chocolate ganache and raspberry jam filling paired with delightfully light, bite-sized donut "holes." After all eating several small donuts is way more fun than trying to stuff one enormous powder-sugar covered donut into your mouth.
If making donuts from scratch seems like a daunting task, Larissa shared that you can actually allow the dough to rise overnight in the fridge, a helpful tip for the busy home baker. No fancy oil for this frying: just plain old vegetable oil.
So now you can enjoy Michelin Star quality latkes and Hanukkah donuts all from the comfort of your own home.
Latkes and Hanukkah donuts will be available at Telepan from December 16th to 24th and are available both for take-out and in-house dining. Donuts will only be available for the dinner menu.
Chef Bill Telepan's Potato Latkes, Yield: 6 latkes
1 ½ lbs of Idaho (russet) potatoes
1 small onion
2 eggs
2 Tbsp flour
2 tsp salt
Using the large hole on a box grater, grate potatoes and the onions into a mixing bowl.
Squeeze the grated potatoes and onion and save the water from the potatoes. After the water from the potatoes has settled, pour off the water and save the starch which settled to the bottom.
Beat the eggs and add them to the starch and combine well. Add the flour and salt and combine all.
Pan fry in a sauté pan in a generous amount of vegetable oil until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooking through on the inside.
For the dough:
2 cups + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 medium eggs
2 Tbsp milk
3 scant Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp fresh yeast or 2 tsp dry yeast
2 ¼ tsp salt
7 Tbsp slightly softened butter
For the chocolate ganache:
2 cups + 2 Tbsp bittersweet chocolate
1 cup + 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp heavy cream
Raspberry or strawberry jam
Mix yeast, milk, flour and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, on low speed until combined. Mix in sugar and salt.
Add butter and mix on medium speed until gluten is developed, around 10 minutes. Place dough onto a floured cookie sheet and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Allow to rise to double in size. Another option is to place in refrigerator overnight.
Once the dough is doubled in size, put onto a floured surface and roll to ½ inch thick. Cut with cookie cutter (I use a 1 ½ inch round cutter) and place on a cookie sheet with parchment, or waxed paper, or lightly floured. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 20 minutes.
Heat your oil to 350. Fry the doughnuts for around 3 minutes. Break one open to check that 3 minutes is enough time and that middle is cooked through.
Roll in sugar. You can fill with chocolate or jam or both.
To make the ganache: Melt chocolate in a medium bowl over a pot of boiling water. Set aside. Place cream in a pot and heat until boiling. Pour over chocolate and mix with whisk until combined.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Donuts
Donuts were never really my thing. That is, until I was pregnant a few years ago and my husband brought me to New York City's famous Doughnut Plant where I sampled several amazing flavors, including their peanut butter & jelly variety. I was in love, and it wasn't just the pregnancy hormones.
Check out my elated face.
So this year when I was thinking about something fun and sweet to make for Hanukkah, I knew I wanted to try my hand at making an Israeli-style sufganiya, but with a classic American flavor pairing. After all, who doesn't love peanut butter and jelly?! And most importantly, I love it, and I loved making these donuts. They were so delicious I might have eaten two. (I did).
If you have a peanut allergy in your family, you can swap out the peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter or even sunflower butter. Instead of adding chopped peanuts to the top, add chopped salted almonds or cashews.

For the donuts:
1 ½ Tbsp dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
½ cup lukewarm water
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
½ tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp salt
Vegetable oil for frying
For the glaze:
2 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup chopped, salted peanuts (or other salted nuts)
For the filling:
1 ½ cups raspberry jam
Combine yeast, 1 tsp sugar and water in a small bowl. Mix gently and allow to sit until top gets foamy, around 5-10 minutes.
In a stand mixer fitted with dough hook, add flour, sugar, eggs, butter, nutmeg and salt. Add yeast mixture and mix on low for 2 minutes. Increase speed and mix another 5 minutes. You can also do this by hand with a wooden spoon, which will take slightly longer.
Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise 2 1/2 -3 hours.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a round biscuit cutter or drinking glass, cut rounds. Place on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise another 20 minutes.
While doughnuts are rising again, whisk the milk, peanut butter, powdered sugar and chopped peanuts together to make the glaze.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until a thermometer reads around 370 degrees. Fry each round for around 30-40 seconds on each side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Immediately spoon peanut butter glaze over the top.
Fill a pastry bag with jam and cut tip. Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, make a hole in the side of each doughnut. Wiggle the toothpick around a bit to open up the inside of the doughnut. Fit the pastry bag into the hole, pipe about 2 teaspoons jam into doughnut. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
Add an extra dot of jam on top if desired.

Orange Cranberry Thanksgivukah Jelly Doughnuts
Thanksgivukah is taking over: the menurkey (turkey + menorah) is the coveted item of the season and the interwebs are exploding with recipes, decorating ideas and kitschy paraphernalia to celebrate this "once in an eternity" event.
Not being one to turn up my nose at a Jewish fad, I set out to come up with my own perfect Thanksgivukah recipe.
I didn't want to come up with some turkey-topped latke or cranberry Manischewitz sangria (although those are good ideas too). I wanted to think a bit sweet, since dessert is always my go-to. Pumpkin pie is my favorite traditional Thanksgiving dessert. But yet again, my mind kept straying to something slightly different. I thought…jelly doughnut…cranberry relish…it seemed almost too obvious.
Cranberry relish-filled sufganiyot might not be the right dessert to serve right after a big Thanksgiving meal, since they really need to be fried fresh. But they are a perfect Thanksgiving brunch option. Or even a great activity for your family the day after since you can use up that leftover cranberry relish!
If you make a chunky relish like this
then just puree the leftovers to use as the doughnut filling. If your relish is already smooth, then one less step!
Another tip: when filling the doughnuts it might seem like you are over-stuffing with relish, but you will want to make sure you are not skimping on the filling. When you insert the wooden skewer, wiggle it around a bit in the middle to create a relish-ready cavern. And don't try to be too delicate with the piping bag – get it in there and squeeze away.
For the cranberry relish:
12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
½ cup fresh orange juice
1 Tbsp grated orange zest
1 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1 tsp corn starch
For the dough:
2 Tbsp dry yeast
½ cup lukewarm water
¼ cup plus 1 tsp sugar
2 ½ cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, softened
Vegetable oil for frying
Special equipment: wooden skewer, piping bag, round piping tip
To make the relish: Add cranberries, orange juice, orange zest and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a low boil and continue to simmer for around 5 minutes. Add corn starch and stir vigorously. Cook another 5 minutes or until cranberries have completely softened.
Remove from heat. Place cover on pot and let the cranberries sit for another 5 minutes.
Allow the cranberries to cool slightly.
Place cranberry mixture into food processor fitted with a blade. Pulse until completely smooth. Chill.
To make the dough: In a small bowl combine yeast and warm water. Sprinkle sugar on top and mix lightly. Allow to sit until foamy, around 10 minutes.
When yeast mixture is ready, in a large bowl combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, eggs, butter and yeast mixture using a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
On a floured surface knead dough until it is smooth, shiny and bounces back when touched, around 8-10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl and allow to rise 1 ½-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
To assemble: On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch-round cutter or glass, cut rounds. You may have to roll out dough a few times. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise another 20-25 minutes.
Heat oil in a pot on medium heat until a thermometer measures 370 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, raise the heat to low-medium heat and test one of the doughnuts. If the oil immediately starts bubbling and the doughnut begins browning, it is the right temperature. If it doesn't bubble at all, heat needs to be higher. If the oil splatters or the doughnut starts browning too quickly, heat needs to be turned down.
In a pyrex dish or large plate, combine around 2 cups of sugar with orange zest and combine lightly with a fork.
Using a slotted spoon, place 3-4 doughnuts into the oil. Allow to fry on each side around 40 seconds or until golden brown. Remove from oil and place onto a plate lined with paper towel. Once excess oil has been removed, roll in sugar-zest mixture while doughnuts are still warm so that the sugar sticks.
When all the doughnuts have been fried and sugared, begin to fill the doughnuts. Place the cranberry relish in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 20-30 seconds, just to soften slightly.
Fill pastry bag with a few heaping tablespoons of cranberry relish. If you don't have a tip, you can just snip the corner of the pastry bag with a scissor.
Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, make a hole in the side of each doughnut. Fit the pastry tip into a hole, pipe about 2 teaspoons jam into doughnut. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.

Daughter of Fortune is a novel by Isabel Allende, and was chosen as an Oprah's Book Club selection in February 2000. Isabel Allende says "of her female protagonist in Daughter of Fortune, Eliza, that she might well represent who the author might have been in another life." "Allende spent seven years of research on this, her fifth novel, which she says is a story of a young woman's search for self-knowledge." "Allende also believes that the novel reflects her own struggle to define the role of feminism in her life." Allende also wrote a sequel to Daughter of Fortune entitled Portrait in Sepia which follows Eliza Sommers' granddaughter.

Vinegar Hill is a 1994 novel by A. Manette Ansay. It was chosen as an Oprah's Book Club selection in November 1999. It was adapted as a TV movie in 2005, starring Mary-Louise Parker and Tom Skerritt.

The family have to move in with James's parents, Fritz and Mary-Margaret. These two dislike each other but dislike Ellen far more so far that she's on the brink of suicide.

As bestselling author Sigmund Brouwer began to hear more and more questions about creation from his growing daughters, he realized that the issue could easily turn them away from developing faith in God. Was he going to stand by and let them wrestle alone with widely asserted contradictions between science and Genesis, especially as they got older? Or could he prepare himself to help them understand more clearly the truth in the Bible's foundation?
In Who Made the Moon?, Brouwer engages the reader by combining easily understood science concepts with inspirational stories from a loving father's heart. He says, "I believe it's my responsibility to know enough about both the Bible and science to answer the difficult questions. I want to be able to show my children that truth is indivisible and that faith in the God of Genesis has nothing to fear from science."

TEAM JASMINE or TEAM RACHEL?
Bestselling and award-winning novelists Victoria Christopher Murray and ReShonda Tate Billingsley bring their favorite heroines together in a novel that will delight their legions of fans.
Jasmine Larson Bush and Rachel Jackson Adams are not your typical first ladies. But they've overcome their scandalous and drama-filled pasts to stand firmly by their husbands' sides.
When a coveted position opens up—president of the American Baptist Coalition—both women think their husbands are perfect for the job. And winning the position may require both women to get down and dirty and revert to their old tricks. Just when Jasmine and Rachel think they're going to have to fight to the finish, the current first lady of the coalition steps in . . . a woman bigger, badder, and more devious than either of them.
Double the fun with a message of faith, Sinners & Saints will delight readers with two of their favorite characters from two of their favorite authors.
Surrender Bay--
Samantha Owens' estranged stepfather has died, leaving her his cottage in Nantucket—a place she fled years ago, never planning to return. As a single mom, Samantha can't afford to pass up a financial windfall like ocean-front property. So she travels home to fix up the house and sell it . . . never suspecting that Landon Reed still lives two doors down.
As their long-dormant romance begins to bud again, Samantha must face a past that separated her from the God of her childhood. And she must tell Landon why she fled the island in the first place—a secret that could tear them apart.
Is Landon's love really as unconditional as he claims? And will Samantha finally realize that the God she found all those years ago never abandoned her?
A heart-tugging tale of shattered trust, growing faith, and love that endures . . . all in a romantic seaside setting.
Driftwood Lane--
Meridith Ward has crafted a carefully ordered life to make up for the chaos that plagued her childhood years. But one phone call upsets all that. Within the span of several minutes, Meredith learns that the father who abandoned her is dead and she's been named the sole guardian of his other three children. She nervously heads to Nantucket to care for the siblings she's never met with plans to stay until their uncle returns from his trip before relinquishing guardianship to him.
She arrives to find the children living in Summer House, a Bed & Breakfast that's falling apart around them. Meridith wants to move on as soon as possible, but the inn will never sell in its dilapidated condition. Then an itinerant handyman, Jake, shows up with an offer she can't refuse.
Much like the powerful ocean just a short walk from her deck, Jake appeals to Meridith. But she senses he is also capable of pulling her under in a heartbeat. What if the thing she fears the most is exactly what she needs? Can she trust God with the details and relish the adventure?

Janeal has long felt trapped in her father's Gypsy culture. Then one night a powerful man named Salazar Sanso promises her the life she longs for--if she will help recover a vast sum of money tied to her father.
When the plan implodes, Sanso and his men attack the gypsy settlement and burn it to the ground. During the blaze, Janeal is faced with a staggering choice.
The impact of that moment changes her forever.
As her past rises from the ashes, Janeal faces a new life-or-death choice. And this time, escape is not an option.
This book is a hardback. It is missing the dustjacket. My apologies. Still it's a great read and an awesome addition to any home library. The Amazon prime price for the hardback with dustjacket is $10. Hidden Gems offers the book here at FreedomInk for just $7.95. Shipping & handling (within the States) for this one is on the house. Enjoy & happy reading! ~Kat.
Bitch Is The New Black--
Meet Helena Andrews, sassy, single, smart, and, yes, a bitch—but Tina Fey said it best, bitch is the new black!
When Helena Andrews heard this declaration on Saturday Night Live, her first reaction was How daaare you? But after a commercial break and some thought, she decided to poke at the stereotype that says "successful" and "bitch" are synonyms. Unafraid and frank, she comes to realize that being a bitch is sometimes the best way to be—except, of course, when it's not.
Bitch Is the New Black follows Andrews—sexy, single, and a self-described smart-ass—on her trip from kidnapped daughter of a lesbian to Washington, D.C., political reporter who can't remember a single senator's name. Told in Andrews's singular voice, this addictive memoir explores the roller coaster of being educated and single while trying to become an "actual adult" and find love.
In these candid yet heartfelt essays, she chronicles that ride from beginning to end: a childhood spent on an all-white island, escaping via episodes of The Cosby Show; being set up with Obama's "body guy" Reggie Love by Maureen Dowd; and the shocking suicide of a best friend. Through it all, Andrews and her gang of girlfriends urge each other to "keep it moving." But no one can stay strong all the time—not even the women we believe do so without trying.
As Andrews says, "Despite the fact that the most recognizable woman in the United States is black, popular culture still hasn't moved past the only adjective apparently meant to describe us— "strong." She is also flawed, tired, naive, greedy, gutsy, frightened, and kind: secret sides that come out in honest detail here.
A beautiful hardback with dustjacket. The cover price lists $25.95. Get it for just $13.00. Shipping and handling waived.
Twelve-year-old CeeCee Honeycutt is in trouble. For years, she has been the caretaker of her psychotic mother, Camille-the tiara-toting, lipstick-smeared laughingstock of an entire town-a woman trapped in her long-ago moment of glory as the 1951 Vidalia Onion Queen. But when Camille is hit by a truck and killed, CeeCee is left to fend for herself. To the rescue comes her previously unknown great-aunt, Tootie Caldwell.
In her vintage Packard convertible, Tootie whisks CeeCee away to Savannah's perfumed world of prosperity and Southern eccentricity, a world that seems to be run entirely by women. From the exotic Miz Thelma Rae Goodpepper, who bathes in her backyard bathtub and uses garden slugs as her secret weapons, to Tootie's all- knowing housekeeper, Oletta Jones, to Violene Hobbs, who entertains a local police officer in her canary-yellow peignoir, the women of Gaston Street keep CeeCee entertained and enthralled for an entire summer.
Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, Beth Hoffman's sparkling debut is, as Kristin Hannah says, "packed full of Southern charm, strong women, wacky humor, and good old-fashioned heart." It is a novel that explores the indomitable strengths of female friendship and gives us the story of a young girl who loses one mother and finds many others.

Using Floor Decals for Unique Promotion
Have you given any thought to using floor decals as part of your marketing and advertising? Using floor decals is a great way to grab a person's attention without taking up too much wall space. After all, as people are walking, they do often look down at the ground! Why not seize the opportunity for promotion in a fun and unique way?
Floors may be built as a blank canvas, but custom vinyl lettering on the floor can animate any surface, turning it into useful and meaningful space. Custom floor decals provide directions, share a message or promote a special product without taking up extra space because floor space is generally unoccupied. If you've been searching for a new, effective advertising vehicle, this may be the ideal solution for you.
Effective Advertising with Floor Decals
Not only is it an off-the-cuff way to advertise, but it also has the ability to capture the attention of prospective customers. Parents with young children may find themselves on the floor of a retail store or daycares center, so why not show off the company's logo or motto from the ground with floor decals? As a clear vinyl banner, colors are bright with our high-quality printing equipment.
Whether your business wants to add new decorations or promote a one-time only event, custom floor decals are easy to use and apply. Each order comes with an adhesive back for stick-and-peel application. Tear-resistant vinyl material allows decals to be used indoors and outdoors, as long as the area is clean and flat.
Floor decals can be used in a variety of settings like:
Depending on where the decal is placed, business owners have the opportunity to grab a person's attention in high-traffic locations. Before the order is sent off to print, all customers are eligible to receive a free art proof. Imagine the possibilities of utilizing your floor space with our floor decals!
Substrate Thickness :150 ±10 µ m
Adhesive Thickness :30 ±3 µ m
Liner Thickness :110 ±10µ m
Peel Adhesion :1.10 -1.20 kg/inch
Release Adhesion :0.078-0.0086 kg/inch㎡
Adhesive Type :Permanent
Note: Max Size Available to print in 1 pc 50"x50M

Is this question useful? Yes No

Inside Whitehall: The Foreign Office has a new brief - flog Britain to overseas investors
Why do we need an expensive network of embassies around the world when public services are being cut at home?
Of all the Whitehall departments, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is the grandest but perhaps the least understood.
Most people are pleased that it's there. We think it's a bit extravagant. But then we quite like the reassurance of knowing that a British face is present in whatever far-flung part of the world we might find ourselves in trouble.
But in an age when prime ministers like doing diplomacy themselves, its raison d'être is now less obvious. Why do we need an expensive network of embassies around the world when public services are being cut at home? And surely the very concept of an ambassador is a relic of a time gone by when kings or leaders would rarely meet and had to conduct business though permanent representatives abroad.
Now – to justify the FCO's £1.5bn budget – the organisation that was once regarded as the Rolls Royce of the civil service is getting a much-needed overhaul.
Ambassadors have been told their job is changing and that first and foremost they need to be salesmen. Salesmen for the UK as a place for foreign governments, wealth funds and businesses to invest; salesmen for the UK as a tourist and educational destination; and, most importantly, salesmen with local knowledge, to help British businesses expand abroad.
As one senior politician put it: "The days when you could work in the Foreign Office and not understand or care about business are over. Ambassadors have been told that their job is as much about supporting British companies as it is about diplomacy."
Also gone is the idea of the generalist diplomat – serving in postings around the world where they rather fancied living.
In September Mr Hague announced the opening of a new FCO language school. Every year the school will train 1,000 students in up to 80 different languages. And for diplomats it means one thing: you won't get the job unless you speak the language.
It is also likely to result in civil servants staying in post longer, not moving from one part of the world to another, and developing detailed specialist knowledge of counties over decades rather than years.
That's because the job of a 21st century ambassador, as now envisaged, is less about lecturing foreign countries about Britain and more about explaining foreign countries back home.
There is an understanding that Britain was unprepared for the Arab Spring in part because our embassies abroad were too centred on the political elites and representing British interests to them that we failed to spot the seismic shifts under the surface.
We did not have close contacts with the new leaders who emerged in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria and as a result we've had to play a game of catch-up. The "new diplomacy" is designed to address this.
But there is one sting in the tail with the changes – particularly for those who like the reassurance that our embassies are there to help us. Unless you're a businessman, you're unlikely to get much help nowadays from "our man in Havana".
Budget cuts mean the FCO is rolling out a system of contact centres to filter out all non-urgent requests for help.
As a result four centres in Ottawa, Dubai, Hong Kong and Malaga will handle calls from every country in the world.
Or as the FCO's director of consular affairs Charles Hay put it: "We want to get the message across that we are not a concierge service."
Mind you, there might be money in that.

If there's one thing Australia seems to do well it's speakers. From Whatmough to Richter and Krix our speakers are attracting the attention of the world. While stand-alone speakers are well catered for there's still some wiggle room in the premium iPod dock market, and this is where local company Epoz has done especially well.
Design and features
The AktiMate Mini and Maxi offer true stereo hi-fi from your iPod or iPhone and feature attractive designs as well. The Mini is a 2.0-channel system that comes with an iPod dock on top of one of the speakers, which also happens to house the amplification and other inputs. The amplifier is supplied by well-known hi-fi maker Creek and can pump out 40 Watts per channel.
The two speakers come in a choice of three colours — gloss white, red or black — and also includes rubber feet to stop them from shifting across your desk.
Inputs include a 3.5mm jack, a stereo input and an AV output, which will display videos on your iPod to a connected television. Epoz suggests you can also use the stereo output to connect a subwoofer. Strangely, the speaker comes with a USB port, but it can only be used as a charger for your mobile device and won't pass audio.
The device can be controlled by a push-button volume/selector switch on the front of the left-hand speaker or by the remote control. The remote is quite bare-bones and it's not possible to change the input with it — plus the unit doesn't always register clicks.

Perfect for wrapping up with a blanket and a glass of sippin' whiskey
Guitar World presents five headphone songs guaranteed to blow your mind.
An exclusive interview with Sarah and Charlotte Command.
Korn keeps releasing bits and pieces of info about their upcoming "dubstep" album, The Path Of Totality. We now have the entire tracklisting for the album, which is set to be released December 5.
Vocalist-guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, formerly of Korn, will release a new EP, Paralyzed, digitally on October 4.
As we reported yesterday, Korn are set to release their highly-experimental new album, The Path To Totality, on December 6 via Roadrunner Records.
Long-rumored to be in the works, it looks like Korn are all set to release their experimental new album, The Path to Totality, on December 6. The album features Korn collaborating with a myriad of dubstep and electronic producers, including Skrillez, 12th Planet, Datsik, Noisia, Kill the Noise and Excision. You can check out the album's artwork below.
Korn have released the official lyric video for their new single, "Get Up!," which you can check out below.
Tabs: Korn "A.D.I.D.A.S."
The long-awaited solo project from James "Munky" Shaffer of Korn, Fear and the Nervous System, has finally released a debut single. The single, titled "Choking Victim," can be downloaded for free via their official website.
As we hinted yesterday, it looks like Korn have abandoned their EP idea in order to make their latest batch of experimental tunes into a full-on album.
What started out as an experimental EP for Korn may have turned into a full-fledged, dubstep-inspired album for the band.
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has announced that he will make a guest vocal appearance on the new Suicide Silence album, The Black Crown. Davis will lend his vocal talents to the track "Witness The Addiction."

National 18 Qt. Pressure Cooker Questions
Can anyone tell me where I might find an instruction manual for the National 18 quart pressure cooker?
What was the ring attached to the side of this cooker for?
What did the racks for this cooker look like?
National is now Presto and has been for many years so the Presto website will likely be your best bet. National models are the old ones and the site doesn't list them in parts or manuals any longer but many of the parts and the manuals are interchangable.
Try the link below.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.manualsonline.com/
Mary - you won't find one for the National unless someone has an old one they can copy for you. Search using the word 'canner' not 'cooker' pulls them up. But here is the manual for the equivalent Presto model (link below).
But we should also ask what you think you need the manual for? The recipes and canning instructions are mostly outdated in them anyway so if it is canning instructions you are looking for there are other better sources like NCHFP.
If it is parts you need then the parts listed on this page with the manual should all fit.
Hope this helps.
Here is a link that might be useful: Presto 18 qt canner parts and manual
Could I bother you about something else? I was looking for a manual so I would know the proper terminology. I haven't used this cooker in years, it was my grandmother's, and there wasn't a manual with it. Anyway, the racks are totally different than anything I've seen in any of the manuals I've looked at. Do you have any idea if I should replace them or if I can use them? Wanted to thank you, too, for the great posts on converting the National - awesome!
Hey, it's no bother. ;)
As to the racks, I wouldn't worry about them as long as it is a metal plate of some kind with holes in it that will keep the jars from sitting directly on the bottom of the canner. That is about all any of the racks do in a PC - space the jars up off the bottom of the pot.
Your bigger concern with a canner that old will be the accuracy of the gauge. They are supposed to be tested annually and one that old will either have to be tested or replaced or the canner converted to a weighted one with the 5-10-15 lb weight set.
You may also need to invest in the new gasket set for it.
As for terminology, you can find most any thing you'd need in the How To Use a Pressure Canner publication from NCHFP.
Hope this helps.
