An interesting debunking of the "honey is not real honey" threads that some people are obsessed with.http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/201...oney-after-all
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
I've seen some "honey" at a local chain grocer that had corn syrup as its first listed ingredient.
As a hobbyist, I'm ok with paying a little extra for peace of mind and local support. I'm more likely to trust a farmer's market than some big corporation, at any rate.
Lifetime goal: 7,777 gallons --- gallons made 69My Home Brew BlogMy Home-brewing Pinterest < It's a beautiful thing.
Yea it's the same with "maple syrup", you rarely see the real deal in most stores today.
Lol today I saw a bottle of syrup labeled, "no high fructose corn syrup" but regular corn syrup was still the main ingred...
All I know is that the FDA requires that it be 100% honey if you're going to label it as honey, but as long as you put syrup or immatation or other trick words in tiny font that is still part of the "product name" then it might as well be spent oil with HFCS.

The 2006 Tablas Creek Vineyard Roussanne is Tablas Creek's fifth national release of its 100% Roussanne. The wine is exuberantly and elegantly in character of the Roussanne grape, with honey, honeysuckle, and pear aromatics, a rich, viscous mouthfeel with just a hint of oak, and a long, lingering finish.
We use most of our Roussanne in our Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc each year. However, we often have some Roussanne lots in the cellar that are so powerfully characteristic of the varietal that we feel they would be too dominant in a blend. In these cases, we reserve a small quantity of this powerful Roussanne for a single-varietal bottling.
Our Roussanne grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2006 vintage was a study of contrasts, with a cold, wet start, a very hot early summer, a cool late summer and a warm, beautiful fall. Ample rainfall in late winter gave the grapevines ample groundwater, and produced relatively generous crop sizes. The relatively cool late-season temperatures resulted in a delayed but unhurried harvest, wines with lower than normal alcohols, strong varietal character, and good acids. Most of our Roussanne came in in one rush between September 19th and October 12th, although one block came in much later on November 1st.
The Roussanne grapes were whole cluster pressed, and fermented using native yeasts half in stainless steel and half in small French oak barrels. The wine was left on its lees for 6 months, and allowed to complete malolactic fermentation. After fermentation the wines were blended, and bottled in May 2007. The wines underwent only a light cold stabilization before bottling.
The 2006 Roussanne is a vibrant expression of the Roussanne grape. Aromas of pear, honeysuckle and hazelnut and spice are followed by a wine of rich texture, honey, pear and lemon zest flavors, moderate acidity and a long minerally finish.

Lisa was happy that her daughter Zia looked up to her, and was just as intelligent as she was at her age. She was worried that she would become a total party girl, and become hooked to the web. Christmas was over, it was passed midnight, and she walked to her car with her husband. They waved to her parents and brother; Bart decided to stay the night. The three of them drove off and headed for home, Lisa driving, Milhouse in the seat next to her, and Zia in the back.
Halfway there, the car began to have trouble. Lisa turned to see Milhouse asleep, his head leaning on the window. She looked back at Zia; she had fallen asleep on the back seats. Lisa pulled the car to the side of the road and got out of the car. She opened her hood and tried to find the problem with the car.

"Ah, Venice," you said wistfully, tossing the end of a cashmere scarf over your shoulder. You wrapped your arms around yourself as though you were cold, posing a bit at your reflection in the mirror that the TARDIS wardrobe provided. Whether completely stylish for the time period or not, you thought you looked rather dashing in your new clothes. "You said we're in the 1850s, right?" you called down.
"We're never going to know if you don't get down here," the Doctor said, his familiar voice nothing less than exasperated. You tossed your head to the right, your eyes glittering with amusement as they met his. He was leaning on the rail of the stairs, his body tilted slightly so he could see you on the second floor. You could see a glimmer of annoyance in his eyes even at the distance. But you couldn't really blame the poor Time Lord; you tended to take your time when planning your outfits.
"Alright, alright; I'm done," you answered back, earning yourself a large sigh of relief from

She hated that mirror. She shattered it so many times- she had the scars to remind her how many times she'd slammed her fist into the glass. Everything was a constant reminder of who, or rather, of what she was. It never got any easier. A friend had told her, when she still had friends, that time, despite contrary belief, never heals. It fades and cracks and chips away at what you have to offer it, and she had never been forward with her pain. She kept it close, alongside her scars, alongside every damn reminder of her existence. She was never brave enough to end it. She hated that- her cowardice. It kept her alive and she absolutely despised it.
The bottle of pills shook in her hand, but when she opened it to end this, to end what held her down, when she opened the bottle to fly, her memory swarmed up and took her again, leaving her screaming. Flies to maggots to maggots to flies. Wasps that stung at her hands and cheeks, the wispy husks of what they used to be eventually becomi

Steve was sprawled out across the bed, remote control in hand as he clicked through channels. You were in the bathroom, removing your makeup and getting ready for bed. After washing your face, you strolled out of the bathroom and sat down next to Steve. He looked up at you and gave you the same smile that always made you blush.
"Ready for bed?" he asked. "We have a big mission tomorrow so we need our rest."
"Yeah, yeah, I know."
You and Steve almost always teamed up together on missions. Sometimes you couldn't because your set of skills were needed for a different mission or because yours weren't needed for the one that Steve was assigned to do. Even after being married to him for over three years, you still worried when he went off on a mission without you. Yes he was a super soldier but you knew what kind of torture men like Steve went through if they were captured by the enemy. You had been through it yourself and on one occasion, did

Habían pasado semanas desde que Seras nos informó del caso. Los días me las pasaba buscando a criminales y matándolos con la espada del Witchblade y las armas, aprovechando que el tiempo es sagrado conforme transcurrían las horas. Toda la sangre que había sido derramado lo absorbía el artefacto de una manera misteriosa e impresionante; luego por la noche era cuando estaba más energética, ya que el mero hecho de que reinara la oscuridad, el Witchblade estaba más preparado y listo para atacar a sus adversarios. Mientras tanto, el capitán Hans Günsche se disponía a ayudarme en el momento justo de estar en peligro, pero no por mí, sino por la entidad que se hallaba en mi brazo derecho. No quería que muriera pero por el simple hecho de no perder al Witchblade. ¿Por qué, y con qué intención?
No obstante, había veces en las que me sentía sobreprotegida; otras, hasta un poco ridícula.

Talking of schools, leads me to dwell on education. Every child is entitled to free education in a state school although many parents even from modest backgrounds make sacrifices to send their children to private schools where much of the teaching is done in English. Nearly every billboard advertises education: whether for a private "English" school, an MBA course or for one of ...

No, the ROM Manager changes Koush needs to do. Everything my end is good after the PP update.
I've just installed the latest ROM Manager from the Market, and the Vega Recovery app too. I opened ROM Manager, and successfully used it to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery, 184.108.40.206
I updated the PP (by Flashing with a newly baked kitchen R4 Add-On Pack including PP to my device) and when I used the Vega recovery App, it reboots, but all I can see it the "Robot out of the box" icon. It wont get passed this screen.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persen hidup, tinggi tanaman, dan diameter batang tanaman uji keturunan pulai darat umur 2 tahun dalam rangka mendukung penyediaan sumber benih unggul. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) yang terdiri atas 2 faktor, yaitu tempat asal populasi (A) dan pohon induk (B). Dalam penelitian ini faktor B bersarang (nested) dalam faktor A. Faktor A terdiri atas 4 tempat asal populasi (Carita-Banten, Pendopo-Muara Enim, Lubuk Linggau-Musi Rawas dan Solok-Sumatera Barat) dan faktor B terdiri atas 43 pohon induk. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persen hidup, tinggi tanaman dan diameter batang tanaman uji keturunan pulai darat umur 2 tahun di Wonogiri berturut-turut sebesar 82,07 %; 2,43 m dan 2,85 cm
During 2003-2009 large area plantations of F. moluccana, in Java particularly, had been attacked severely by gall rust disease. In order to reduce the gall rust impacts, selection of gall-rust resistance of F. moluccana needs to be undertaken. Therefore, study of genetic variability on gall-rust resistance of F. moluccana was carried out at the 3 years old of gall rust disease resistance trial located at Kediri, East Java. The trial consists of 80 open pollinated families, including four seed sources from Kediri (East Java), Lombok (Nusa Tenggara), Papua and Candiroto (Central Java). In this study, several variables were assessed i.e. height, diameter, stem form, crown density, number of galls which existed on stems, branches, twigs, and crowns. The disease incidence and severity were calculated using the index scores of gall rust. Results revealed that there were significant differences in stem-form and stem-galls between families. Individual heritability (h i) was relatively medium for stem-form, branch-galls and stem-galls, whereas h i for diameter, crown density and twig-galls were low. Genetic correlations were strongly positive between diameter and the disease. Meanwhile, a correlation between stem-form and the diseases was strongly negative. Therefore, individual heritability for stem-form could be used to decrease disease incidence and severity. Index of disease incidence and severity varied significantly between 80 families in the trial. Grouping of the families based on the seed sources (provenances) showed that Papua seed sources exhibited the most resist or tolerate to the gall rust diseases. Therefore, further attention to the potential provenances involving the disease severity and incidence need to be paid.
The efficiency of early selection was evaluated based on age trend in genetic parameters using tree height data that was measured periodically repeatedly up to age 3 years of age in four seedling seed orchards of Acacia mangium at South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The four orchards were grouped into two populations based upon their provenances, namely: Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Far North Queensland-Australia (FNQ). A model for time trend of genetic parameters was developed by fitting regression equation to the estimates of variances and correlations using tree height data as an independent variable. In both populations, genetic variances and total phenotypic variances increased along with the mean height. Trend of individual heritability along the rotation ages were almost stable at around 0.19 for PNG, and gradually increased from 0.36 to 0.40 for FNQ. Trend of genetic correlations between selection age and rotation age increased rapidly starting at around 0.5 for PNG and 0.6 for FNQ, then exceeding 0.9 at age four years in both populations. Genetic gains due to indirect selection increased with age, in which the gains in FNQ were generally larger than those in PNG. Selection efficiency based on gain per year as a ratio of the gains from indirect selection to direct selection may conclude resulted the optimum age for selection at age two years old in both of PNG and FNQ population
Family variation of capsule production and the seed viability in the Paliyan full-sib trial of Melaleuca cajuputi subsp. cajuputi, at Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, were observed. The full-sib trial was designed as Incomplete Block Design, consisting of 39 families; six individual as tree plot and replicated in eight blocks. Height and diameter at breast height were assessed to identify the correlation between capsule category and growth performance. The capsule production was assessed visually to one of the capsule categories: "0" for none; "1" for light; "2" for medium and "3" for heavy. Results showed that each family of M.cajuputi sub sp.cajuputi equally contributed to the seed production. Progeny analysis showed that the seed productions were not strongly under genetic control (h2i)= 0.12. This study also found positive correlation between the flowering strength (the flower production levels) and the number of capsule (R2 =0.279). However, there were no significant differences between the flowering levels and the viability of M.cajuputi sub sp. cajuputi. Mean seed viability was 31%, there were no significantly differences of capsules production between trees having high flowering intensity and low flowering intensity. Low seed viability was assumed due to the unsynchronicity of flowering, leading to the low levels of outcrossing rate. Therefore, selection of families with synchronicity of flowering was recommended to establish a seed orchard.
As part of multiple-population breeding scheme using sub-lining system, a composite seedling seed orchard of Acacia mangium was established at Central Java, Indonesia. The orchard comprises a combination of the best 40 plus tree families selected from four sub-lines in the first-generation of progeny trial. The design of orchard is randomized complete block laid-out as four line tree-plot of six replications with a spacing of 2 x 4 meter. Variation among sub-lines and families within sub-line, and genetic parameters for height, dbh and volume were investigated at age of 24 months. The aim of this study was to investigate genetic variation for growth traits in a composite seedling seed orchard and to discuss the implication for increasing genetic gain and seed production. In general, trees derived from two sub-lines of Papua New Guinea (PNG) provenance showed better growth than those from FarNorth Queensland, Australia (FNQ). Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among sublines and families within sub-line for height, dbh and volume. Variation of the traits among families within sub-line accounted for 1.1% to 5.0%, and trees within family 43.8% to 65.8%. Heritability varied from 0.044 to 0.201 for individual, 0.060 to 0.229 for within-family and 0.098 to 0.383 for family. Within-family selection promoted high genetic gain for all traits, ranging from 1.3% to 4.4%. In order to increase genetic gain and seed productivity, it is recommended that:(1) the best plus trees included in the orchard should be selected based on their progeny test, (2) the design of plot size should be single treeplot, (3) the final density of seed trees should be twice greater than the number of trees intended for seed collection, which is about 300 trees per hectare
Comprehensive tree improvement program for Acacia mangium has been started since 1992 by establishing a series of first-generation Seedling Seed Orchards (SSO) in Indonesia. Selection procedures in the first-generation of SSO have completely finished, and subsequently it was continued for second-generation improvement. This paper examines a trend of realized genetic gain as a response of selection practiced in the first-generation SSO. The observation was carried out in three sub-lines of the second-generation SSO (namely Sub-line B, C and D). Parameters recorded included tree height, diameter at breast height (dbh) and stem straightness that were recorded periodically up to 4 years growth. The realized genetic gain was calculated as a percentage of improved plus trees population in the first-generation of SSO compared to those of unimproved trees. The results showed that theimproved population was consistently better that those of unimproved one until 4 years of age. There were variation in terms of realized genetic gain parameters recorded depending on the sub-lines and ages. The tree height varied from 1.1% to 5%, while dbh and stem straightness were in the ranges of 2.8% to 6.7% and from 1.8% to 8.4%, respectively. Across the three sub-lines, the tree height varied from 2.2% to 3.1%, while dbh and stem straightness were in the ranges of 4.3% to 5.2% and 4.3% to 6%, respectively. In general, the trend of the realized genetic gains slightly decreased for dbh and tree height with the increasing of ages, while it slightly increased for stem straightness
The geographic variation of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) haplotypes of Acacia aulacocarpa was investigated among 18 natural populations. These populations represent the geographical range of the species in New Guinea Island and Queensland. Single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) was used for the analysis. Two non-coding regions of cpDNA, the intron region of the trnL gene and the intergenic spacer region between the trnP and trnW genes, were analyzed, and four haplotypes (A, B, C, and D) were recognized. The haplotype distribution corresponded with the geographic distribution of the populations. Based on four cpDNA haplotypes, the eighteen populations were divided into three groups: New Guinea Island, Northern Queensland and Southern Queensland. Haplotype C was observed only in the New Guinean populations, while the other three haplotypes (A, B, and D) were found in Queensland only. All of these three haplotypes were observed in Southern Queensland, whereas haplotype B was found only in the Northern Queensland populations. The cpDNA haplotype diversity of this species seemed to be highest in southern Queensland.
Pollen pattern dispersal in seedling seed orchard (SSO) is an essential part of a tree-improvement program. Two SSOs of Acacia mangium in South Kalimantan and South Sumatra that represent similar resources in different environments were used in this study. Genotypes of all trees and seeds from a subset of 10 mother trees in each orchard were determined for 12 microsatellite loci, and parentage analysis was carried out. The results shows that the pollen dispersal pattern in both SSOs decrease with distance from mother tree. Patterns of pollen dispersal, dispersal distance and cumulative frequency of pollen dispersal distance were similar in both SSOs. Random pollen dispersal were found in both SSOs. About 80% of all crosses were found within a 40-m distance range with the most frequent pollination distance between mother tree and male male parents was 0-10 m. No self-pollinated seed was detected. Application of all these aspects found in this study such as random pollen dispersal and the effective pollen dispersal distance can be useful for establishing seedling seed orchard, clonal seed orchard and in other tree improvement activities of Acacia mangium
Tulisan ini menyajikan beberapa indikasi pengaruh penggunaan arkoba sebagai campuran media terhadap pertumbuhan anakan bulian (Eusyderoxylon zwageri) dan anakan gaharu (Aquilaria malaccensis), dua jenistanaman andalan setempat yang sedang dikembangkan. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua komposisi utama, yaitu penambahan arkoba serbuk gergaji (ASG) dan arkoba serbuk gergaji yang dicampur dengan jerami padi (ASGJ). Penelitian dilakukan selama 4 bulan di kebun bibit Dinas Kehutanan PropinsiJambi, Jambi.
Percobaan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan perlakuan ASG dan ASGJ masing-masing 15%, 30%, dan 50%. Sebagai pembanding digunakan kompos dalam porsi yang sama serta kontrol (top soil 100%). Parameter yang diamati adalah persentase tumbuh, pertambahan tinggi, dan diameter batang. Data hasil penelitian dianalisa menurut uji beda jarak Duncan, selanjutnya perbedaan respon tumbuhan secara lebih spesifik antara kontrol dengan setiap perlakuan diuji dengan cara Scheffe.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan anakan bulian dan gaharu pada media ASG dan ASGJ secara nyata lebih baik dari pada pertumbuhannya pada media kompos konvensional maupun kontrol. Pertambahan tinggi dan diameter anakan pada ke dua media serbuk kompos tersebut dapat mencapai 400% dibandingkan dengan pertumbuhan pada media kontrol
Tulisan ini menyajikan hasil penelitian penggunaan pupuk organik plus arang (POA) dan pupuk organik mikoriza plus arang (POAM) pada media tumbuh anakan Shorea crysophylla selama 6 bulan di rumah kaca. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan POA dan POAM terhadap respon pertumbuhan anakan Shorea crysophilla.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan 1 tablet pupuk organik mikoriza plus arang (POAM) memberikan perbedaan nyata pada pertumbuhan tinggi dan diameter anakan Shorea crysophilla dan juga dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan tinggi sebesar 43,9% dan diameter sebesar 49,3% dibandingkan tanpa POAM. Penambahan pupuk organik plus arang (POA) kurang efektif terhadap peningkatan pertumbuhan tinggi dan diameter anakan Shorea crysophilla, dibandingkan POAM.
Untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan anakan Shorea crysophilla, cukup diberi 1 tablet POAM tanpa harus ditambah POA. Tablet POAM sangat berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan pertumbuhan diameter daripada pertumbuhan tinggi.

Mock City Council meeting tonight at Franklin Elks
FRANKLIN — The 50th annual Youth and Government Week, sponsored by Franklin Elks Lodge #1280, Franklin city government and Franklin High School will culminate this evening at the Elks Lodge where students will showcase what they have learned by holding a mock city council meeting.
Those students playing the role of the city council, who were elected by fellow students, got a close up view of how city government operates earlier this week, will tackle an agenda following a dinner at 6 p.m. which is put on by the Elks for all participants and their families.
During the kickoff on Tuesday the students received an overview of City Government from City Manager Elizabeth Dragon, City Department Heads and guest speakers, which included Franklin's Mayor Ken Merrifield, City Councilor George Dzujna and Legislative Representatives Leigh Webb, Scott Burns and Lori Carey.
''Franklin is one of the last few, if not the very last community still holding on to this longstanding tradition of Youth Government. It is important to carry on this tradition and keep our youth educated and engaged in government,'' said City Manager Dragon.

Association Relationship Transformation of XML Schemas to Object-Relational Databases
Free registration required
Executive Summary
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is fast emerging as the dominant standard for describing data and interchanging data between various systems and databases on the Internet. It offers the XML Schema definition language as formalism for defining the syntax and structure of XML documents provide rich facilities for defining and constraining the content of XML documents. Nevertheless, to enable efficient business application development in large-scale e-Commerce environments, XML needs to have databases to keep all the data. Hence, it will inevitable be necessary to use methods to describe the XML schema in the Object Relational DataBase (ORDB) formats.

News anchors brave the elements, indoors
Everyone assumed that the Duluth Northland News Center team was outside during the coverage of the "Christmas City of the North" Parade on Nov 22. After all, they were wearing heavy jackets. But it turns out they were inside, in front of a green screen. But the News Director insists there was no deception because, if you want to get technical about it, they never actually said they were outside. [jimromenesko, mix108.com]

jenny craig?
anyone done it? is is ultra expensive?
My cousin is on this diet and is starving! Yes it is expensive. I believe her cost for food is about $300 per month (not positive though). You also pay for "counseling". I checked their website and noticed that they offer no information about cost. You get that surprise when they contact you I guess. You WILL lose weight if you only eat what they give because the portions are very small (watch the commercials and check out the amount of food on Kirstie's plate). You can do the same thing yourself... just eat smaller portions. For someone (like my cousin) who is too busy or too lazy to prepare their own meals it may work just fine. The problem is you will probably get so hungry that you'll eat other things during the day which will defeat what you're trying to do. Just my two cents. Hope you find something that works for you.

The Whizz Pop Chocolate ShopSubmitted by Children on Mon, 03/25/2013 - 11:24
The Whizz Pop Chocolate Shop by Kate Saunders
Mix chocolate, magic, villains, one immortal uncle, a few invisible and immortal animals, and a couple 11-year-olds, and viola! a tasty morsel that, in some ways, is reminiscent of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Unexpectedly, the Spoffards inherit a house from Mr. Spoffard's great-uncles, who tragically died young in a tram accident in 1938. Twins Lily and Oz are captivated by the house, especially after meeting the resident invisible and immortal (and talking) animals: Demerara the cat and Spike the rat. Demerara and Spike tell the children that their deceased uncles were famous London chocolatiers and that they suspect one brother, Isadore, didn't really die. The twins soon learn their summer will be quite an adventuresome one. By using magic to foil the children's unsuspecting parents, the Secret Ministry of the Unexplained enlists the kids to help solve a plot to steal their uncles' secret chocolate recipe and use it to destroy the world. From one unpredictable plot turn to another, Saunders' lively characters will endear themselves to readers from start to finish. A great read-aloud, too.--Petty, J. B. Copyright 2010 Booklist
Courage has no colorSubmitted by Children on Mon, 03/11/2013 - 10:23
Courage has no color : the true story of the Triple Nickles : America's first Black paratroopers by Tanya Lee Stone
They became America's first black paratroopers. Why was their story never told? Sibert Medalist Tanya Lee Stone reveals the history of the Triple Nickles during World War II.
World War II is raging, and thousands of American soldiers are fighting overseas against the injustices brought on by Hitler. Back on the home front, the injustice of discrimination against African Americans plays out as much on Main Street as in the military. Enlisted black men are segregated from white soldiers and regularly relegated to service duties. At Fort Benning, Georgia, First Sergeant Walter Morris's men serve as guards at The Parachute School, while the white soldiers prepare to be paratroopers. Morris knows that for his men to be treated like soldiers, they have to train and act like them, but would the military elite and politicians recognize the potential of these men as well as their passion for serving their country? Tanya Lee Stone examines the role of African Americans in the military through the history of the Triple Nickles, America's first black paratroopers, who fought in a little-known attack on the American West by the Japanese. The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, in the words of Morris, "proved that the color of a man had nothing to do with his ability."
From Courage Has No Color
What did it take to be a paratrooper in World War II? Specialized training, extreme physical fitness, courage, and — until the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion (the Triple Nickles) was formed — white skin.
It is 1943. Americans are overseas fighting World War II to help keep the world safe from Adolf Hitler's tyranny, safe from injustice, safe from discrimination. Yet right here at home, people with white skin have rights that people with black skin do not.
What is courage? What is strength? Perhaps it is being ready to fight for your nation even when your nation isn't ready to fight for you.
Missing on Superstition MountainSubmitted by Children on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 10:19
Missing on Superstition Mountain by Elise Broach
This engrossing mystery pits three brothers recently transplanted from Chicago against the rocky caverns of Arizona's Superstition Mountain.
Simon, 11, feisty 6-year-old Jack and narrator Henry, 10, quickly grow curious about the menacing mountain that adults pointedly warn them against climbing. Their first clandestine trek ensues as they chase their roving cat, Josie. The boys feel the mountain's oppressive eeriness and encounter three skulls on a precarious ledge. After some research with library books and a historical-society pamphlet, the three secretly return to the mountain with Delilah, a smart fifth grader who's also new to Superstition. Broach brings her customary skill to this first of a projected series, articulating the boys' personalities, sketching out adults (Mrs. Barker, a medical illustrator, is the most interesting) and adding the evenhanded Delilah. A fall injures Delilah and brings adults to the rescue, but it also permits Henry's discovery of a hidden canyon, an old pair of saddlebags and a strange map. Broach sympathetically explores Henry's voice, allowing the third-person narration to filter his perceptions as a lonely middle child. He loves reading, relishes the big words he learns and worries about not living up to his namesake, the late, roguish Great Uncle Hank.
Broach reserves plenty of suspicious characters, spooky landscapes and loose ends for the slated sequels, which both boys and girls will savor. (author's note) (Mystery. 8-12)

Sparrow RoadSubmitted by Children on Mon, 02/11/2013 - 10:22
Sparrow Road by Sheila O'Connor
Twelve-year-old Raine O'Rourke cannot understand why her single mother has abruptly decided to leave their Milwaukee home and her beloved Grandpa Mac to live and work for the summer at an old Lake Michigan estate. Sparrow Road, once an orphanage, is owned and run as an artist colony by stern, enigmatic Viktor Berglund, who imposes strict rules of conduct such as silence until dinner, and Raine is further restricted from leaving the premises, even as her mother and Viktor make mysterious trips to town. She tries to make the best of the situation, exploring the attic where vestiges of the orphanage give her fodder for her own writing, as she uses slim clues to create the persona of orphan Lyman Chase. With help from Diego, a wise and kindly artist, and flamboyant craftswoman Josie, Raine begins to adjust until the real reason for her mother's decision is revealed: the father she has never even heard of lives nearby and wants to meet and get to know her. What follows is a thoughtful coming-of-age story that explores old and new relationships and conflicting family loyalties as Raine learns important things about herself and is left to make a serious decision about her father. Adding interest to this novel, set in a time before computers and cell phones, is a touch of mystery surrounding the orphanage, and Josie's brainchild of an Art Extravaganza that brings townspeople and former orphans back to Sparrow Road. Lyrical writing in this first-person narrative, good character development, and a sympathetic heroine will keep readers absorbed. Marie Orlando, formerly at Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY
This book is a 2013-14 Mark Twain Award Nominee.
Cool trash to treasures seriesSubmitted by Children on Mon, 02/04/2013 - 10:10
Cool trash to treasures by Pam Scheunemann
"Upcycling" gets a shot in the arm with these attractive craft books, each of which contains at least six funky projects, some requiring little more than glue and scissors to accomplish. Unlike many craft volumes, the design palette here does not automatically scream "girl," although there are a few jewelry and accessory projects that seem specifically girl-oriented. Specialized materials are required for some projects, in some cases effectively negating any recycling involved with the craft, and many activities are time-consuming and cannot be completed in one day. Still, this set contains good classroom ideas, most involving measuring and calculation, which could be like catnip for crafty kids with time on their hands.
Infinity Ring SeriesSubmitted by Children on Mon, 01/28/2013 - 09:47
When best friends Dak and Sera discover the key to time travel — the Infinity Ring — they're swept up in a centuries-long secret war for the fate of mankind. Recruited by the Hystorians, a secret society that dates back to Aristotle, the kids learn that history has gone disastrously off course — and it's up to them to save it.
Overcoming BarriersSubmitted by Children on Mon, 01/07/2013 - 09:50
Overcoming Barriers series by Deborah Kent
These new books in the Overcoming Barriers series focus on blindness, deafness, Braille, and sign language at a down-to-earth, personal level. Each book begins with a glimpse into the life of a real-life child today before branching out into other more general topics. The series' tone is consistently upbeat, though not falsely cheery. In What Is It like to Be Blind?, she uses the stories of several children to highlight the range of abilities possessed by blind people, as well as the challenges they face. In What Is Braille?, Kent discusses the history of Braille's invention and development, as well as describing modern-day users. She also includes an alphabet chart for reference. In What Is It like to Be Deaf?, Kent covers topics such as the causes of deafness, the use of sight and other senses, and the ways deaf children and adults overcome challenges and use their talents. In What Is Sign Language?, the author emphasizes ASL as a language, including its grammar and a number of sample words, as well as its history and current use. Besides the main text, sidebars add tidbits on a greater variety of subjects. Photos on most pages provide an adequate if not sparkling illustration of the text.--Aronin, Miriam Copyright 2010 Booklist
It's Just an ExpressionSubmitted by Children on Mon, 12/31/2012 - 09:44
It's Just an Expression series
Ever wonder where the phrase "goody two-shoes" comes from or why we say we're "all pooped out" when we feel tired? This series explores the usage and origin of dozens of well-known and less-familiar idioms. Typically, a spread is devoted to information about each expression. First, the idioms are used in a mini-story context and then elaborated on for meaning. Photographs and cartoon illustrations help further explain the phrases. The pages are well designed, and the texts are lively. Since many of the idioms have mathematical, historical, or scientific connections, this series may be used across curriculums, with plenty of opportunities for writing activities. While further reading is suggested, source notes are not included, making follow-up difficult.
Iron hearted VioletSubmitted by Children on Mon, 12/17/2012 - 10:40
Iron hearted Violet by Kelly Barnhill ; illustrations by Iacopo Bruno
The end of their world begins with a story.
This one.
In most fairy tales, princesses are beautiful, dragons are terrifying, and stories are harmless. This isn't most fairy tales.
Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. Particularly when it comes to telling stories. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A forbidden book. It tells a story of an evil being -- called the Nybbas -- imprisoned in their world. The story cannot be true -- not really. But then the whispers start. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon, may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph . . . or its demise. It all depends on how they tell the story. After all, stories make their own rules.
Iron Hearted Violet is a story of a princess unlike any other. It is a story of the last dragon in existence, deathly afraid of its own reflection. Above all, it is a story about the power of stories, our belief in them, and how one enchanted tale changed the course of an entire kingdom.
