The CA 27.29 test measures the level of CA 27.29 antigen, which is found in the blood of individuals with breast cancer. Correspondingly, the level of CA 27.29 in the blood rises as breast cancer progresses.
The CA 27.29 test is a useful measurement in the detection and monitoring of breast cancer and the response to therapy. In addition to the CA 27.29 test, oncologists will often recommend the CEA blood test.

The Augustana Campus is a faculty of the University of Alberta located in Camrose, Alberta, Canada. It was merged into the larger, Edmonton, Alberta-based University in 2004.
Augustana has a long history in Alberta, beginning in 1910 as "Camrose Lutheran College". It was merged into the University of Alberta as of July 1, 2004.
Approximately 1000 students of the University of Alberta study full-time at the Augustana Campus.[1] About half of the students live on campus.[1] The Faculty is very diverse and draws both from the surrounding area (especially rural areas around Camrose) and from the rest of Canada and elsewhere to make up its student population and staff. There is a strong contingent of International Students on campus.
The campus has residency options, including a special building for freshman students centred in the middle of all the buildings to facilitate new students still learning the layout of the campus. Freshman students are generally expected to live their first year in residence, with the option of continuing in residency or finding their own residence elsewhere after that. Residency ensures a student not only a room but also three meals a day at the all-you-can-eat cafeteria. Typically students in and beyond their second year, as well as mature students, may choose to reside very close to the main area in a set of buildings commonly referred to as "The Ravine", which sports a central common-area building with cooking and laundry facility known as "The Dish".
The Faculty has four departments: Fine Arts, Humanities, Science, and Social Science. The Augustana Campus also hosts a Bachelor of Science in Nursing after-degree program being run by the Faculty of Nursing and a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy program run by the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. Augustana offers a Community Service Learning certificate, and has introduced a psychology certificate in Community Mental Health. These certificates can be pursued in addition to one's degree. Augustana students benefit from small class size, proximity to the teaching staff, and "a close knit lively campus community".[1] They also benefit from the fact that Augustana offers only undergraduate courses, which means that they have the opportunity to work as Research Assistants for professors over the summer while still in their undergraduate years.
Augustana competes predominantly in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference and Canadian Colleges Athletic Association as the Augustana Vikings. Team sports include: biathlon, cross country skiing, cross country running, basketball, volleyball, curling, and hockey. The Viking Cup is an annual hockey tournament, hosted by Augustana, which features teams from North America and Europe.
Augustana holds preview days four times a year, where prospective students are shown a tour of the campus by current students, have a chance to sit in for a class, get help with applying for university, and meet professors, and learn about activities the campus provides. Private tours of the campus are also available.
The Augustana Campus Library supports the research needs of approximately 1000 undergraduate liberal arts and sciences students and 75 teaching faculty. Augustana's new library boasts large windows and wonderful ravine views. It is a wireless hotspot, provides access to over 100 full productivity computer workstations, a variety of student work spaces and group rooms, and the Writing Centre.[2]

Most significant solar cooking projectsEdit
- Long term investment in Madagascar has created a thriving solar cooking enterprise- Since 2001, the Association pour le Développement de l'Energie Solaire (ADES) has been making and selling solar cookers in the southwestern part of Madagascar, providing much-needed cooking alternatives as well as employment for over 30 local carpenters and trainers. In 2003, ADES built its first permanent solar cooker construction workshop in Tulear. A second construction workshop was established in Ejeda in 2006, followed in 2008 by a workshop in Morondava. Each of these regional centers also has sales and demonstration offices. Future plans include development of a fourth regional center in Anosy or Antandroy, and the creation of two or three local branches within each region to reduce transportation distances and increase outreach capacity. According to ADES, southwestern Madagascar experiences about 330 sunny days per year and is a nearly ideal region for solar cooking. However, per capita income in Madagascar is only about $400 per year, making it difficult for families to afford solar cookers and spend their meager income on a technology they are not familiar with. Rising firewood and charcoal costs over the past few years are making solar cookers comparatively more affordable, but still out of reach for many. Subsidies have mostly come from donors in Switzerland and a handful of awards. The Madagascar government has provided some additional support, partnering with ADES to promote renewable energy in Tulear. Hand-crafted wooden solar box cookers, produced locally for upwards of $200 each, are sold at a subsidized price of just over $20. These cookers reach temperatures of up to 150°C, and are commonly used to cook rice, various root vegetables, meat, fish, bread, and cakes. Metal parabolic solar cookers are assembled locally for about $160 each, from aluminum and steel parts made by another local organization at an already subsidized price. The parabolic cookers are then sold at a subsidized price of about $50. These cookers reach even higher temperatures, but require stirring of food and more frequent adjustments to track the sun. They are particularly useful for frying, and can work in a complementary fashion with solar box cookers. Both cookers come with 7-year warranties. By the end of 2009, ADES had sold 4,640 solar cookers. It hopes to ramp up its outreach and sales capacity with funding from carbon credit offsets.

News and recent developmentsEdit
- December 2014: ADES has created a document detailing their work with solar cookers and fuel-efficient woodstoves in Madagascar: ADES from 2001 to 2013
- November 2012: Zahana reports that solar box cookers have been very well accepted in the schools. The students like it a lot and have been experimenting, and cooking is many things as possible. In the latest text message from the village, we received a little synopsis of the cooking efforts by the students. The students have been encouraged to keep notes. They recorded the time required to cook local foods: Rice, 2h30; Zebu, 2h30; Fish, 2h; Cassava, 2h30; Dried beans, 3h; Boiling water for coffee, 1h; Madeleine (small cake), 1h; Cassava cake, 2h. Note: they let the internal temperature go up to 100 degree C (216˚F) before the pot gets put in the solar cooker. Introducing solar cookers in the schools was a long-term project. The solar cookers have generated a lot of interest, because a solar cooker does not require firewood to make food for the children and, which seems to be even more important, there is no smoke in the cooking process, as with traditional firewood stoves. Zahana will tie together the solar cooker project and the tree-planting project intertwined in a tangible way. In December 2012, it will be a year we launched the official tree-planting project. Working with the community leaders, we will identify the person, who has planted the most trees that took root successfully. Planting trees alone, is no guarantee that they will grow, if it is not tended to and watered by the person planting it. We had told from the community from the beginning, that we will give awards in the first, second and third year, to the person who has planted the most trees that are still growing. This year the price will be a solar cooker.
- November 2012: Niconet Tsukuba has been introducing solar cookers to local citizens in Japan to increase people's awareness of environmental and global issues, as well as to make small changes from their fossil-fuel-centered lifestyles to eco-friendly ones. Our programs are usually performed in an informal and relaxed manner, by our motto "Niconet's 3E = Enjoy, Environment, and Eating." Solar cooking is, in fact, effective for promoting communication with others. In 2011 -2012, we worked with the faculty of a local university to conduct an analysis on the efficiency of the Sun Peace solar cooker which was developed by our member Yuko Tomioka, by using thermo-graphic devices. We plan to include the results in our Solar cooking recipe booklet, which will be available on the web this year. In recent years, we also have focused on hand-made "retained heat cookers". We introduced that newspaper as an effective material for insulating. While we are mainly active in the local area in Japan, some members are also active in other countries. Our member Fumi Sakurai stayed in Madagascar for two years, where serious deforestation is evident. She introduced villagers to the solar cooker Sun Peace. This solar cooker is easy to make because it does not require measurement. She suggested to some key persons in villages to use aluminum sheets of used snack packages for reflective material. It was found to work successfully in the sun-rich climate. Some villagers who learned how to make/use solar cookers became "teachers" and started to share the skills with others. In Japan, introducing such information is also useful for educational purposes.
- November 2012: ADES from 2001 to 2012 - ADES started its solar cooking program in Madagascar in 2001 with a small carpentry shop under a party tent, two motivated carpenters and an instructress. Today we operate six centres with manufacturing facilities, a new sales point in Antananarivo, the capital and a coordination centre in Tuléar. ADES actually employs 85 persons and additionally created about 50 jobs in external enterprises. On average a family of 20 people is living off the salary of one employee. ADES is a socially sustainable employer. All the children of our employees go to school at our expense and the families are covered by health insurance. For each solar cooker sold we have two trees planted in a reforestation project in Madagascar. Read ADES from 2001 to 2012 to find out more and see photographs of our facilities, products, and activities.
The history of solar cooking in MadagascarEdit
Madagascar, with its unique biological diversity, has attracted the attention of environmentalists from around the world to its rescue. It is somewhat surprising then to learn that little has been done to curtail the use of fuelwood as the major cooking energy for the population. Around one-fifth of the island's land has forest cover, which is diminishing at nearly 1% annually (FAO, 2003). A representative of the country, speaking at the Varese meeting in 1999, spoke of solar experimentation in the 1970s, revived in the 90s as deforestation worsened, but with little progress in mass implementation. The initial introduction was principally of parabolics, but later the 'breadbox" model was introduced and enthusiastically endorsed. The report called on governments, non-governmental organizations, and businesses to attempt to establish a strong national program, urging that international research and development be done cooperatively and shared widely with smaller nations.
One program operating in Madagascar is run by the medical arm (SALFA) of the Malagasy Lutheran Church. SALFA runs 25 hospitals throughout the country. Dr. Stanley Quanback and his wife, medical missionaries in the country, initiated the project and helped to develop collaboration with another medical organization, Pathologists Overseas. Teaching materials and consultation were provided to the volunteers by California volunteer, Alice Hoenecke, sociologist Agnes Rasamimampianina , and nutritionist Sosanna Suzanne, the latter two employees of SALFA and citizens of the country.
The group began by training women in one village in a semiarid region of the country. The trainees were hospital staff members and members of a churchwomen's organization. As stated above, fuelwood was become very scarce and expensive. Miss Sosanna directs the project, supervising 15 trainers who are working now in 11 villages. Primary health centers are usually the site for training in the use of solar cookers. They estimated, as of 2003, that there were 1,000 users and others begging to have solar cookers made available to them.[1]
Another project currently active in Madagascar is l'Association pour le Développement de l'Energie Solaire (ADES) is an NGO and a non-profit organization that produces solar cookers in Madagascar and supports the use of renewable energy sources. It started in Tuléar in the south of Madagascar in 2001. Local production by local people with local material is part of the ADES philosophy.

Climate, culture, and special considerationsEdit
Solar Cookers International has rated Madagascar as the #19 country in the world in terms of solar cooking potential (See: The 25 countries with the most solar cooking potential). The estimated number of people in Madagascar with fuel scarcity but ample sun in 2020 is 3,000,000.

The legacy of these Granite Staters is lasting
Nixon, a longtime New Hampshire attorney whose civic contributions include fundraisers for the William B. Cashin Senior Center and being a founder of the Joe Yukica-New Hampshire chapter of the National Football Foundation, is battling cancer. He said that when facing trouble, people go through stages that include disbelief, anger and apathy.
McQuaid said the recipients had likely all received accolades throughout their lives.
Warren Schomaker of Jackson, honored for his work with the Jackson Historical Society, drew laughter when he said that as part of buying a Mercedes to celebrate his 90th birthday, he purchased an additional two-year warranty to extend his coverage to five years.
Paul and Anna Grace Holloway of the Holloway Automotive Group, honored in part for establishing the Paul J. Holloway Prize, which provides a $25,000 stipend to an aspiring young entrepreneur, said they were humbled and honored by the Granite State Legacy Award.
But her husband said he believed his family benefitted from living in the Granite State.
Jackie Burke, in accepting an award for her mother, Renee Riedel-Plummer, said that while her mother, honored for her work in revitalizing Pease International Tradeport, was shocked by the award, those who know Riedel-Plummer were not, given "Hurricane Renee's" reputation as someone able to get things done.
Kimon S. Zachos, who graduated from Wesleyan University a year before Nixon, was honored for a career that included being part of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s and being the driving force behind the Currier Museum of Art owning and expanding its Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Zimmerman house. He said he was honored to do his small part to make his home state better.

Any suggestions for good non-chain restaurants in or near Wrentham area
Tough area - do board searches for Franklin MA ....a few more choices there.
0 -
Incontro and 3 are both up 495 in Franklin. I haven't been to 3 yet. My experiences at Incontro have been mixed. Vintage in Woonsocket is not too far depending on where in Wrentham you are coming from. Tom's Tavern in Wrentham has good seafood.
re: Bluebird
Hey Bluebird,
If you go to "3" please give us a report. I hate to sound suspicious, but I am. The first OP I saw on it had three or four "Hounds" gushing about how great it was and that they'd be returning often. I hope my suspicions are unfounded. But, big but, they also had no other posting histories as in; zero, zip, nada, nien, as in none!Harp00n
re: Harp00n
I had the same thoughts you did. I will definately report back when I go. It is only a matter of time before I stop by. I did talk to a person, whose opinion I trust, who stopped in for drinks and said the atmosphere was really nice, but he didn't have any food.
0 -
re: Harp00n
We made a visit to "3" during their first week of operation, but just for lunch. The decor is very nice - contemporary, and quite a change from the previous Pipinelle's. The bar looked well stocked and very inviting. Lunch, however, was disappointing, but I'm giving them a pass since they had just opened. My chicken caeser salad was very limp, almost as though it had been made up long in advance. For the size of it (not much larger than a side salad), I thought the $12 price was high. My lunch partner had the Reuben sandwich (comes with fries) and thought it was good - but at $15, it should be! We'd definitely give it another try, but for lunch again before investing in a dinner there.
A couple of "old stand-by" suggestions for the Wrentham area might include the Lafayette House on Route 1 in Foxboro, as well as Luciano's on Route 1 in Plainville. For very casual pub-like food and great steamers, we like The Chieftain, also on Route 1, Plainville. I'll second the recommendation for Tom's Tavern for seafood.
re: Tunia
Thanks for all the feedback, Tunia. It's very appreciated. :-))

re: Tunia
If you go to the Lafayette House, we much prefer the food in the tavern over that of the main restaurant, which is pretty uninspired.
Agree with the Tom's Tavern recommendation, and also the Chieftain, which is especially good for steamers.
re: Harp00n
Harp00n, I stopped in last night and posted on the 3 thread. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/400412
re: Bluebird
Thanks Lisa,
That's very thoughtful of you. I won't reply on that thread, I'd rather see some fresh responses to your excellent post. It does sound a bit like the typical Sudbury branch experience, though. I haven't been to Norwood but I'd be surprised if it's any different. For better or worse, it would appear that there's definitely an executive chief overseeing all three branches. I will drop into the Franklin location soon.
Btw, I wish I'd joined you and the other Hounds at Vintage. It sounds like you all had a great time. JaneRI clued me into it awhile back when it had just opened and
I love the place. I just hope they can hold on.Harpoon

Given its accoutrements--a large G series lens, 64GB memory built in, 3.5-inch LCD and EVF, headphone and mic jacks, and shutter and iris controls--the Sony Handycam HDR-CX550V's price north of $1,000 may be a bit painful, but not much of a surprise. One of Sony's two nearly identical high-end models for its prosumer line, the CX550V differs from its sibling, the XR550V, primarily with its recording media and by having a slightly different body design. Their designs differ only because of their storage media--the XR550V's 240GB hard drive versus the CX550V's flash memory. This review is based on our testing of the XR550V.

Though Sony changed some of the controls, the camcorder's design is fundamentally the same as last year's models. The camcorder feels quite sturdy. However, if you've got larger hands, the hard disk's protrusion on the XR550V might give you a more comfortable grip. All of the camcorder's door covers are solidly attached. The camcorder has a sliding door on top for the accessory shoe; another slider near the lens on the right side covering the mic and headphone jacks; two separate covers underneath the record button for the proprietary AV out and DC power in; and one inside the LCD hiding the Mini-HDMI and USB connectors. I don't like the location of the latter connectors, since I hate to leave the LCD open with cables running out of it. Also, its location makes it awkward to hold and move the camera around when you connect it to a TV. However, this seems to be a popular place for manufacturers' to stash the connectors.
At the front of the camcorder, you'll find a big-barreled lens with electronic lens cover and a flash on top--there's no built-in video light--as well as manual dial to the side. The manual control dial has long been a staple on Sony's top-end consumer models, but Sony expanded its capabilities a bit. Pressing the dial's center button toggles the operation to the currently selected option; holding the button in lets you select which manual function you'd like it to have. As for manual functions, the CX550V has options for focus, exposure, iris, shutter speed, autoexposure shift, and white balance shift. I've always liked the dial for its feel, but if you use the manual focus, shutter speed, and iris controls a lot, it gets annoying bouncing around the options with only the single control. However, this is how all of the prosumer models operate and is a trade-off for their relatively small sizes.
Toward the front-top of the unit is the five-channel mic; for the gazillionth time, I'll say I'd rather see Sony use that space for a stereo mic with good separation. In addition, though it has a mic input, the camcorder doesn't have any recording volume controls except for the reference level with two choices: Normal and Low.
The electronic viewfinder has a higher resolution than its predecessors had, as well as those on several of its competitors, but it is smaller. While EVFs are a disappearing breed and I find them essential no matter how bad, I'm disappointed with how small and low magnification the CX550V's is. That said, given the choice between size and resolution, I prefer the higher resolution.
The camcorder's large touch screen is relatively high resolution and nice to work with. It's also reasonably viewable in direct sunlight, but I still found it difficult to judge manual focus on it or in the EVF. Part of the problem is that there's neither focus assist--it doesn't magnify the subject on the LCD or in the viewfinder while using manual focus--nor peaking control to amplify the edge displays. Instead, the manual instructs you to zoom in, focus, and zoom out.
Under the LCD are buttons that trigger NightShot (infrared) and intelligent auto mode--a replacement for Easy--playback, and direct-to-DVD burning for use in conjunction with Sony's DVDirect dock or through software when connected to a PC. The GPS is switch controllable, and there's a manual power button in addition to the automatic operation when you pull out the EVF or open the LCD.
The camera's zoom switch falls directly under your right ring finger, which pushes the surprisingly small photo button to the very corner, where it's borderline difficult to feel. The zoom has a nice touch, and it's easy to maintain a steady rate. I complained about the location of the mode button--for switching between recording video and shooting still photos--in Sony's previous models, and now it sits just to the left of the EVF, a much better place and one that's easier to get to when you're shooting with the EVF.
When you hit the menu option on the LCD, the first screen you see is the customizable My Menu that is pretty convenient and straightforward to use. Hitting the Show Others button takes you to the annoying endless scrolling menu. But at least you have arrows to make scrolling functional, unlike Canon's touch-screen implementation.

Sharon Keller submitted a motion on July 31, 2009 to the judge acting as special master in her upcoming trial arguing that she has a "property right" to her position as Presiding Judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and therefore she should not be deprived of that property except by the higher standard of "clear and convincing standard of proof" instead of the standard provided for in the rules of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, which require only the lower standard of preponderance of the evidence.
"Application of the preponderance of the evidence standard would not be sufficient to ensure that any deprivation of Respondent's [Keller's] property interest in her position as Presiding Judge of the Court of Criminal Appeals would not be arbitrary," Keller alleges in the motion.
Keller claims she has a "legitimate claim to entitlement to her position as Presiding Judge of the CCA".
Michael Richard had a legitimate claim not to be deprived of life without due process of law. He had a legitimate claim not to be told "we close at 5" by the presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on the day of his execution.

Diorskin Matte and Luminous Hydrating Loose Powder in #431 Gold Dust Review & Swatches
Diorskin Matte and Luminous Hydrating Loose Powder ($49) is available in a new limited edition shade for Holiday 2012 which is Gold Dust. The powder is already available in three shade selections and Gold Dust will be available for a limited time, I actually already purchased and own this powder in Transparent Light.
I was quite delighted they released a new shade and was even more delighted when I realized how wearable Gold Dust is. Because hey, gold and dust, well you think major shimmer. But turns out Gold Dust was a welcome replacement for my nearly finished Transparent Light.
Take a look!
Mixing matte, luminous, and hydrating into one powder does lead to a little head scratching. But that's exactly what this powder is. The perfect combination of a matte yet hydrating finishing powder with a luminous glow.
Having dry skin I tend to skip the last and most traditional finish to makeup, powder. The rare occasions I do use powder are when I am heading our for an evening and want my makeup to look more polished and wear for a longer period of time sans touch ups.
Diorskin Matte and Luminous Hydrating Loose Powder successfully combines a hydrating powder with a glowing finish that wears easily on all skin types whether you're dry, oily, or have a combination of both. This is a luxurious scented face powder that brings back retro Hollywood in my mind's eye. It comes in a generously size 0.59 oz container with a powder puff for application.
The powder is a loose finely milled soft powder delicately scented with a floral rosy fragrance. Gold Dust is very similiar in color to the Medium shade already available in the general catalog but contains loose flecks of fine gold shimmer. Don't be alarmed, the gold shimmer only adds a delicate hint of a glow to face. The powder itself is very soft and silky with a second-skin like finish that perfects skin with a transparent finish. Even my drier skin finds it refreshingly lightweight and silky. The scent is positively intoxicating and the finish adds a delicate luminous glow to my cheeks that looks amazing.
If you're near to purchasing a new face powder I do urge you to check out Diorskin Matte and Luminous Hydrating Loose Powder in Gold Dust. It'll add the perfect glow to your Holiday face looks! I'm considering a back up.
Very Muse Approved for purchase.
Available now at Dior counters and online shortly at dior.com

9/25/12 19:12 Larie:
Oh, you have me convinced! Some other powders do end up making my skin look and feel a little too dry, but I still want that "set" look – I'll have to look into this!
9/26/12 16:51 the Muse:
larie same problem here I tend to skip it b/c of that!
9/25/12 19:19 Sara Elisabeth:
Will this work for light skin too?
9/26/12 12:47 the Muse:
absolutely sara! it's transparent ;-D did you get your box!?
9/25/12 22:47 Michelle Robles:
Oh man! I don't know about that price tag. I've been looking for a new powder. I like Ben Nye Neutral Set but I only used that because my face sweats first, but now that summer is over I want to switch it up. Do you have any other favorites? ^^
This looks really nice – want it
9/26/12 2:53 Isabelle:
I'm very excited about the upcoming Dior collection. Do you know when in October they will be released on dior.com?
9/26/12 10:06 the Muse:
Isabelle yes from my understanding they will be online mid october ;D
9/26/12 10:25 Winni:
Miss Muse, how would you say the finish compares to Meteorites? Thanks
9/26/12 10:30 the Muse:
Pretty different winni, i always get a pastel highlighted glow from meteorites depending on the shade, this has more of a subtle touch of gold glow.
9/26/12 18:39 Winni:
Guess I NEED it then!!
9/26/12 11:32 Majick:
This is beautiful, it kind of reminds me of Too Faced Pore Perfect (I think that's what it's called). It sets the makeup but adds a little glow as well.
Muse, do you know if this will be sold at Sephora, or is it a Dior-only product? I'm addicted to beauty points, so I buy products at Sephora whenever possible. lol Thanks!
9/27/12 11:22 the Muse:
kb I'm not sure if holiday will launch at Sephora as of yet. It's kinda sketchy details when it comes to Holiday. If you want this shade you might want to haul on counter because I suspect Sephora will get the holiday palette and maybe lipsticks but not the powder and other items. Hope this helps!? I'm sorry about the beauty points
Of course it helps! I stockpile my points, so it won't kill me to buy something from a counter. I've never bought anything from a Dior counter, but I always feel pressured to buy things I don't need from other department store counters, but I've never had that problem in the Sephoras I've visited, so I'm pretty loyal to them.
9/30/12 0:48 Petitez:
I'm sold! I want to try this! Alittle glow to my face is what I need!
11/22/12 3:49 nawi:
Which one would you choose if you had to choose between this dior one or the limted edition from chanel? I love to hear?
11/26/12 16:41 the Muse:
I really loved both nawi

It's Monday! What Are You Reading (Special Double Issue)
I love this weekly meme hosted by Kellee and Jen over at TeachMentorTexts. It's so much fun to see what other people have been reading and get ideas for books to add to my ever-expanding To Read pile. However, my To Read pile is starting to get a bit obnoxious, taking over several bookshelves in my basement, one in my bedroom closet, and my entire nightstand. I really need to work on this!
Since I forgot to post last week, I'm going to share my reading for the past TWO weeks. Here goes:
Since I forgot to post last week, I'm going to share my reading for the past TWO weeks. Here goes:
30. The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde (finished 2/18/13) Interesting fantasy set in a slightly future Britain. Involves dragons and swords. 'Nuff said.
31. Sons of the 613 by Michael Rubens (finished 2/19/13) Funny and sad story of two brothers one struggling with bullying and growing up, the other struggling to find his place. Highly recommend this one for oler readers.
32. Ladies in Waiting by Laura Sullivan (finished 2/21/13) Strange historical fiction. I love books with girls in itchy dresses, but this one was WEIRD!
33. Loss by Jackie Morse Kessler (finished 2/21/13) Second book in a series about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
34. Ichiro by Ryan Inzana (finished 2/23/13) Graphic novel about a Japanese American boy who goes to visit his grandfather in Japan and learns about his history. Bit of a fantasy as well. Quite good.
35. Son by Lois Lowry (finished 2/24/13) The close of The Giver quartet. I wanted to love it, but it fell short. Ended up giving it 4 stars.
This week I have several books to read for my next Walden Award deadline as well as two "grown-up books" that I have from the library, including the new (and sadly, final) Maeve Binchy.
In addition to my reading, I have a preso on digital writing tools that I need to prepare for a conference on Friday and two presos for my grad class on Saturday! I'm going to be one busy girl!
What are YOU reading this week?
5 comments:
I finally checked out Son last week, but then realized belatedly, that The Giver is the only one I have read so I ought to read the others first. Ichiro looks good - will add that to my list. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteGood post. I like it. It was interesting to read it. Great thank's author for sharing…

I know I said I was going to take a break from the shots I took while I was in Dubai, but I only have three left (including this one) so thought I might as well post them before putting anything else up.
And no, the sand wasn't really blue ;-)

Zbigniew Brzezinski Still Admits The Global Political Awakening Proving Very Difficult For The Elite
- Uploaded by redice on Nov 28, 2012
- Hits: 11
Here is Zbigniew Brzezinski once again admitting that the globalists are in fear of the global awakening that is currently happening across the world. People are waking up to the fact that the governments are all power hungry and corrupt and are not there to serve the interests of the people, but that of the global elite and the multi-billion dollar corporations. This lecture was given about a week ago in his home country of Poland.Here are a few quotes from this globalist:"We have a large public that is very ignorant about public affairs and very susceptible to simplistic slogans by candidates who appear out of nowhere, have no track record, but mouth appealing slogans" "The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities. " Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era"In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach of magnetic and attractive personalities exploiting the latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason."

Letter: South Portland doesn't need new garage
Is the South Portland fire chief kidding?
"It's their turn," Fire Chief Kevin Guimond was quoted recently, referring to his view that the public-works department deserves a new $20 million garage.
Their turn? Folks, this is not a game show. Public-works staffers, for all the superb work they do in this city, are not in line to win a prize.
Their turn? This is not "The Price Is Right," where contestants line up to win prizes.
No, the people whose turn it is are the taxpayers. There is no need to spend $20 million for a building with its purpose being to put trucks under cover.
The city manager keeps saying trucks left outside rust quicker. For this we need to spend $20 million?
In truth, vehicles don't rust when left outside. They rust when the wet metal frame dries – and that oxidation process is hastened if you put wet vehicles in a covered, heated space.
This idea that public works needs a new garage is a ruse.

When the Corporate Luminary Becomes Seriously Ill: When Is a Corporation Obligated to Disclose that Illness and Should the Securities and Exchange Commission Adopt a Rule Requiring Disclosure?Allan HorwichNorthwestern University - School of Law; Schiff Hardin LLP 2009 New York University Journal of Law and Business, Vol. 5, No. 2, 2009 Northwestern Law & Econ Research Paper No. 09-02 Abstract: Recent speculation and rumors about the health of senior corporate executives of public companies (most notably Steve Jobs of Apple Inc.) and the advanced age of many leaders in the corporate community prompt a consideration of when, if at all, there must be public disclosure of the ill health of a person whose involvement in a corporation is perceived as vital to the continued financial success or independence of that company. This Article addresses the application of various disclosure requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facts regarding the health of a corporate "luminary." An adverse development in the health of a luminary that has, or may have, an adverse material impact on the company may not trigger an immediate disclosure obligation. There are, however, numerous situations where ill health with an adverse material corporate impact may have to be disclosed. In order to avoid uncertainty in this area - since there are competing views on the application of Exchange Act disclosure principles to personal health-related facts - this Article proposes a rule for adoption by the Securities and Exchange Commission that would impose a disclosure requirement in narrow circumstances.

California became a state in 1850 – just a year after the start of the great "gold rush" – and now has the highest population of any state. The Greetings From California stamp features the Bay Bridge in the evening, with its suspension cables outlined by lights and the San Francisco skyline gleaming in the distance. Palm trees from Santa Catalina Island and two golden poppy blossoms (the state flower) complete the design.
The "Lone Star" state of Texas became the 28th state when it joined the Union in 1845. The central image of the Greetings From Texas stamp is the Alamo in San Antonio. In 1836, over 180 Americans defending the Alamo – including Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett – were massacred by Mexican troops. The Alamo became a rallying point in Texas' independence. Also shown on the stamp is a yellow rose (from the famous Texas song "The Yellow Rose of Texas") and a Texas longhorn.
New York was one of the original 13 colonies that formed the United States, and it was the 11th state to ratify the Constitution and join the Union. The Greetings From New York stamp features three of the best-known landmarks in the state: the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and Niagara Falls. The spotlights beaming from the Manhattan skyline symbolize New York as a world-renowned center of theatrical activity.

I have a unique rigging problem (the sheets go between shrouds when setting a specific sail close to the wind) that I believe a splice and soft shackles would solve. Knots--I've tried all of the standard suggestions for sheets--work but are not as smooth as I would like. I have an older halyard in perfect condition that will be good for the application, but it's way too stiff for me to want to try splicing. I have sewn splices before in similar cases, and invariably the line eventually failed... away from the splice.
Typically I sewed enough passes (part way into the rope, round stitching on both sides) that the thread count would carry the load, and then added some whipping at the opening and the taper. Sometimes I covered it with heat shrink, sometimes rigging tape, sometimes nothing. Takes about the same amount of time as a double braid splice in new line if sewn by hand, but generally less. Machines do it MUCH faster. Common practice for construction trades.
Rope Splicing | SherrillTree.com
On a boat UV is more important than for these other applications, but any sort of covering handles that, and chafe is only a factor in certain boat applications. Someone is going to say it can fail if sewn wrong; these are used for climbing and I've seen conventional double braid splices work apart too. I've sewn and failure tested climbing equipment; I understand the methods.
A seizing is also a possibility, but sewing is really just a variation on that that can be made smother (the link above did not show a taper, but it is easy to do.
Anyone have actual experience with actual applications on boats? A better method?
My arms hurt just thinking about trying to splice old double braid:-) To me that's a no-do, basically impossible. Thanks for posting that "Grizzly Splice" page. I didn't know sewing was even an option for double braid. As far as making the transition smooth, built-up rigging tape is the only thing that comes to mind but it'd no doubt wear out pretty quickly. How about tapering the tail and wrapping with seizing? I just did some soft shackles and experimented around soaking the ball end in some tool handle plastic. It seems to have soaked in and skinned over nicely and really cemented the diamond knot. Maybe some of that stuff over seizing to make it a bit more durable?

Anyway, the tents are now packed away for the winter. But we had one last break to look forward to. A celebrated a rather important birthday this year and our lovely stepdaughter booked him a surprise break to our favourite hotel in Derbyshire. So the children were duly packed off to the Grandparents for 4 days and we enjoyed some grown up time together. We enjoy walking so decided to take the dogs with us - a walk just isn't the same without the hounds for company!
We had a lovely room - and the hotel geese like to sit on the lawn outside our window. Which kept the dogs entertained!
We only had one full day to do a really good walk - no need to worry about whether the children would cope with it, so I planned a route about 7 miles/3 hours walking. From the hotel door a round route taking in the village of Hartington and then following the River Dove before heading back up Biggin Dale and home. After several lovely sunny days I was really looking forward to it. But the weather had other ideas.
It started raining as we left the hotel, and continued unabated. So bear with me as I show you lots of dripping foliage and grey skies. I didn't even attempt to get the camera out until we had passed through Hartington and were heading down to Beresford Dale.
It was slightly better under the trees!
We started off wet, and got wetter, and wetter. A commented that we must be crazy to be doing this for fun! But it was fun, really!
Despite the awful weather, it was quiet and peaceful. And around every corner the scenary changed revealing new delights. I loved this little bridge! It was very narrow and Candy was very wary of it! She could have paddled across the river here as it widens and is shallow as it is also a ford, but no, she had to cross the bridge with us.
Ruby demonstrates the depth of water.
So does Candy. Paddling across would be easy.
But Ruby thinks the narrow bridge is more fun!
Candy doesn't think so, but we walked across it, so that must be the way! Eventually she plucks up the courage to follow us across. Just look at that hang dog expression on her face!
I love the glimpse of history - at some point in the past, the stepping stones were the main crossing point for foot travellers. Horses and carts would have used the ford.
The bridge marks the end of Beresford Dale and the start of Wolfscote Dale - a very picturesque part of the route.
Limestone cliffs with caves. We didn't venture up to them though - we were so wet, it was easier to just keep plodding along!
Despite the rain, this was a very pretty walk. And lots of easy walking pathways.
Despite waterproof trousers, gaiters, coats and very good boots, the rain got through. Even the rucksack got wet inside. I picked the wrong one for the walk and should have taken the time to get one of our proper rucksacks out of the loft.
At least we still had reasonably good visibility. It would have been very frustrating to climb a hill only to find the view obscured by low cloud.
I have decided Derbyshire stiles are designed for very slim people only. Even the dogs struggled to squeeze through them!
Eventually we left Wolfscote dale and turned up Biggindale. We left the river behind us. Luckily it was a very gradual ascent - by this time we had been walking for over 2 and a half hours without a break and the old legs were beginning to feel it!
There was a lull in the rain - and suddenly a patch of blue sky appeared. What a welcome sight!
Another cave. I contemplated exploring, but it would have meant climbing a wooden stile and when I tried climbing, the water started running down inside my jeans. I decided it wasn't worth it!
A bit farther on and the sun finally shone on us. Time to take a short break and eat something!
The hawthorns were glowing with berries. Autumn is a wonderful time for seeing the countryside at it's most beautiful.
The final walk up Biggindale was lovely, warm and sunny. Our clothes began to steam!
When we got back to the road this had appeared - it wasn't there when we set off! No wonder we got wet.
The welcoming party - the geese outside our room window.
The walk took us 4 hours in total, not bad considering it is many years since we walked that distance! We hobbled into our room and the first thing I did was run a hot bath and have a soak. Ahh that was bliss! I will finish off in another post - better go and feed my children now! xx

New York, 7 December 2005
The absolute ban on torture, a cornerstone of the international human rights edifice, is becoming a casualty of the so-called "war on terror", the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said today.
"Pursuing security objectives at all costs may create a world in which we are neither safe nor free", said Louise Arbour, speaking at United Nations headquarters in New York in the run-up to Human Rights Day, commemorated on 10 December. "This will certainly be the case if the only choice is between the terrorists and the torturers".
"Governments are watering down the definition of torture, claiming that terrorism means established rules do not apply anymore", Mrs. Arbour continued.
Mrs. Arbour said the right and duty of Governments to protect their citizens from attacks was not in dispute. Governments may even impose limitations on certain rights at times of imminent or clear dangers. But, she added, the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment may not be subject to any limitation, anywhere, under any condition.
The High Commissioner singled out two practices as having a particularly corrosive effect on the global ban on torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment: the recourse to so-called "diplomatic assurances", and the holding of prisoners in secret detention. "The former may make countries complicit with torture carried out by others, while the latter creates the conditions for torture by one's own", she said.
The international legal ban on torture prohibits transferring persons -- no matter what their crime or suspected activity -- to a place where they would be at risk of torture and other ill-treatment. "If there is no risk of torture in a particular case, such assurances are unnecessary and redundant", Mrs. Arbour said. If there is a risk, the High Commissioner questioned how effective such assurances were likely to be.
Human Rights Day Press Release: Total Ban On Torture Under Attack In "War On Terror" cont…
Mrs. Arbour suggested that instead of seeking to obtain meaningless assurances for the wellbeing of a handful of detainees, efforts should be directed at eliminating the risk of torture faced by many, including by creating a genuine system for monitoring all detainees in all places of detention.
Regarding secret detention the High Commissioner said the phenomenon appeared to have gained renewed currency in the "war on terror". Holding people in secret detention amounts to "disappearance", which itself amounts to torture or ill-treatment. Prolonged incommunicado detention or detention in secret places facilitates the perpetration of torture. "Whatever the value of the information obtained in secret facilities -- and there is reason to doubt the reliability of intelligence gained through prolonged incommunicado or secret detention -- some standards on the treatment of prisoners cannot be set aside", she said.
The High Commissioner said she believed firmly in the role of law to guide society through difficult challenges. "The law provides the proper balancing between the legitimate security interests of the State with the individual's own legitimate interests in liberty and personal security. It must do so rationally and dispassionately, even in the face of terror".
The High Commissioner called on all Governments to reaffirm their commitment to the absolute prohibition of torture by condemning torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and prohibiting it in national law; abiding by the principle of non-refoulement; refraining from returning persons to countries where they may face torture; ensuring access to prisoners, and abolishing secret detention.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) helps protect and promote all human rights around the world. Headquartered in Geneva, the Office is also present in over 40 countries. OHCHR works to ensure the enforcement of universally recognized human rights norms, including through promoting both the universal ratification and implementation of human rights treaties and respect for the rule of law. It also aims to remove obstacles to the full realization of all human rights and to prevent or stop human rights abuses. For more information please visit www.ohchr.org

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

cut your seedless watermelon into small pieces(i like to cut it into brunoise, but that isn't necessary). cut your feta into small pieces as well. chiffonade your mint leaves. gently toss all in a bowl and let sit for a bit in the fridge. drain off some of the watermelon juice. make a dressing of rice wine vinegar and olive oil...i use about 2 parts oil to 1 part vinegar but do this to your taste. lightly toss the dressing into the salad and let chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

So nice to meet you...and your devious cheating soul! LOL LOL...great call for X...an outside the box thinker, I like it! :)I'm impressed with what you came up with for "X" ~ such a tricky letter! I've never tried a savory/sweet watermelon combo, but yours really has me intrigued and tempted. Thank you! I think I'll give it a shot!
