The Hawks lost Game 3 on Sunday despite Jeff Teague's personal playoff-best 30 points on 9-of-23 field goals and 9-of-9 free throws.
LeBron James fought through injury and exhaustion to finish Sunday's overtime Game 3 victory with 37 points, 18 rebounds, 13 assists and three steals, moving Cleveland to the brink of a Conference Finals sweep.
Al Horford was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's game after a Flagrant-2 foul when he dropped an elbow on Matthew Dellavedova's neck.

Crazy like a Fox (News)
Why was that night different from all other nights? Because, as the anchors melted down while the predictions of every one of their pundits proved false, it gave Fox followers a chance to see how far astray they'd been led, to watch the effects of bamboozlement play out in real time, and, if they so chose, to consider whether they'd been misled in other ways on other days.
My phone buddy expressed disappointment with my implication that Fox "news" is less than a credible source. So much for my November hopes, dashed like West Seattle homes in the recent record high tides. (No climate change, says Fox.)
When that liberal rag, The New York Times, decided it wanted its readers to have the most accurate polling data possible, they hired Nate Silver, who, in the previous year had been the best reader of political tea bags out there. Fox "news," on the other hand, dipped its followers in Dick Morris who, unlike the proverbial stopped clock, has never been right about anything. And they didn't stop there: for weeks, all across their programming, their talkers continually mocked Silver, right up to the time he was shown to be perfect. That should tell us something significant.
Fox transgressions against fact are too many to list here: even as a thorough and tough investigation of Benghazi was being done, Fox cried cover-up. They claim Barack Obama, a political centrist who's ticked off the left as much as the right is a far-left socialist. They march out mind-readers who claim our duly re-elected president hates America. Who can forget their "terrorist fist-bump" claim? And just the other day their leader, Roger Ailes, told the network not to discuss gun control after the horror in Connecticut. Fair? Balanced? Their latest brewed ha-ha: Hillary Clinton faked a concussion.
MSNBC is just as bad, you say? Well, I don't much disagree, and I hardly watch them either. But there are significant differences, not the least of which, since liberals don't seem to need their beliefs constantly reinforced, is that MSNBC has a piddling viewership compared to Fox. It stays within screaming distance of the truth; it doesn't deliberately edit videos to make them appear to say the opposite of what was said. For a list of countless times Fox has, googlebing the Internet: It's bulging with them. When MSNBC has misquoted or mischaracterized, it's corrected itself. Fired a guy. It doesn't employ a raft of would-be presidential candidates, and it devotes prime morning hours to a show headed by a proud conservative. Yes, they have their partisans. But if MSNBC disappeared, who'd notice? If Fox went bully up, the Republican party would wander the desert for 40 fears.
Like everyone, I have a beef with our media. Mine, though, is that they've become lazy, too financially connected to the status quo, too afraid to take it on. And, unlike Fox "news," they're too concerned with pretending that there are two equal sides to every story. Fox folk, in lockstep, unabashedly hand down their message like the Decalogue.
Because of its dishonest and non-stop propagandizing, I consider Fox "news" the most destructive force in America, if you don't count carbon emissions, reality TV, or the New York Yankees. And here's the thing: Roger Ailes doesn't even hide it. He admits their purpose is to push the Republican agenda, while his viewers pretend they don't. Like the Wizard of Oz, they've convinced their listeners there's no need to look behind their curtain, which is pretty darn remarkable. I won't deny Fox "news" is brilliant, and more persuasive than any media source in history.
My dialogue partner told me he has some liberal friends, and, boy, it's impossible to convince them of anything. I asked if he thought they might think the same of him. Well, I suppose maybe they do, he said. So there we were.

Province: Rassie's going nowhere
Western Province have refuted claims that Rassie Erasmus will be taking up a director of rugby post with SA Rugby.
A article published in the Cape Argus suggested Erasmus was contemplating the move, but WP have responded by reminding all parties concerned that Erasmus is contracted to the Cape union until 2012.
'Rassie is committed to WP Rugby and is a valued and respected member of the coaching staff. The rumours of a rift and an imminent move have absolutely no basis,' said Rob Wagner, MD of WP Rugby.
Botha back at 2
Gary Botha has recovered from a head injury and will lead the Bulls against the Leopards.
Frans Ludeke has also opted for Fudge Mabeta at lock, while Juandre Kruger moves to flank.
Deon Stegmann is back at training but won't be considered for this match.
Blue Bulls – 15 Zane Kirchner,14 Gerhard van den Heever, 13 Jaco Pretorius, 12 Stefan Watermeyer, 11 Jaco van der Westhuyzen , 10 Jacques-Louis Potgieter, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Gerrit-Jan van Velze, 7 Juandré Kruger, 6 Derick Kuün, 5 Fudge Mabeta, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Gary Botha (c), 1 Dean Greyling.

Steenkamp starts
Allister Coetzee has decided to give lock De Kock Steenkamp a run in Friday's game against Griquas.

AfriForum: Absa lied about race in rugby
Civil rights group AfriForum says it has evidence contradicting Absa's claim that it did not put pressure on Saru to increase black representivity in the Currie Cup.
According to AfriForum, Absa deputy CEO Louis von Zeuner sent the following SMS to Saru president Regan Hoskins, after the Currie Cup matches played on 11 September: 'Regan, I think you should write to the major unions on black players -judging from today's games Lions 2, Bulls 1, Cheetahs 2 – they are not respecting the spirit and goals of transformation. Louis.'
Hoskins, in a Saru press release, said: 'SA Rugby confirms that at no time did Absa threaten to withdraw sponsorship money or suggested that quotas be instituted or was in any way prescriptive about the composition of the teams.'
Cheetahs want to keep Basson
The Cheetahs' Super Rugby franchise may take legal action against the Griqualand West Rugby Union after the latter failed to consult with them before allowing Bok wing Bjorn Basson to join the Blue Bulls.
'In light of what has happened, the Cheetahs' executive committee gave approval for us to seek legal advice on the matter,' franchise MD Harold Verster told Sport24. 'As soon as we have received the necessary recommendations there will be a special directors meeting where the findings, and the consequences thereof, will be discussed.'

It was a tough shooting night for the 'Hawks as they finished 15-for-54 (27.8 percent) from the field. That included a 5-for-23 (21.7 percent) performance from behind the arc. Miami did find offense from the free throw line, finishing 28-for-34 (82.4 percent) from the charity stripe.
Individually, sophomore forward Hannah McCue made her presence felt for Miami. She earned her second double-double of the season, finishing with 11 points and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes of action. Senior guard Hannah Robertson was also in double-figures, finishing with a team-high 12 points.
Akron jumped to a 10-2 lead in the first four minutes of the contest. A jumper by Hannah Robertson and a three-pointer from freshman forward Nicole Anderson cut the deficit to 13-7 at the 15:12 mark. Hanna Luburgh answered with a jumper, but McCue drained back-to-back shots to cut the Zip lead to 15-11 with 13:01 to go.
Luburgh began to heat up for Akron and led the team on a 10-4 run that pushed the advantage to 10 at 25-15. Hannah Robertson answered with a layup, but Miami's shot went cold as the Zips went on a 13-3 run that made it 38-20 at the 2:36 mark. Freshman guard Jillian Spurlock hit a three-pointer and a pair of free throws, but the Zips maintained a 48-29 advantage going into the break.
Miami struggled from the field in the first half, finishing 7-for-30 (23.2 percent). It made up for it at the free throw line, going 13-for-14 (92.9 percent). McCue had 10 points and six rebounds in nine minutes of action. Akron shot 22-for-43 (51.2 percent), led by Luburgh going 12-for-14 and scoring 24 points in the period.
A layup by Anderson, a three-pointer from junior guard Courtney Larson and a pair of free throws from Spurlock was part of a 7-2 start to the second half for Miami that pulled it to within 14 at 50-36. The Zips responded with four straight, but another three-pointer by Larson made it 54-39 with 14:36 left in the contest.
A layup by sophomore guard Maddie McCallie helped keep the RedHawks in the game as both offenses went cold over the next couple minutes. A free throw by McCallie made it 59-43 with 11:34 to go. The Zips followed with a 21-7 run over the next five and a half minutes to put the game out of reach. Miami was able to close on a 10-2 run to make the final score 88-63.
In addition to Hannah Robertson and McCue's performances, Anderson and Larson each scored nine for Miami, while Spurlock finished with seven. The RedHawk defense held Luburgh to only four points in the second half as she finished with a game-high 28. Akron held a 48-37 rebounding advantage on Miami.
The RedHawks return to action on Saturday when they host Buffalo at 2 p.m. That is Miami's Think Pink game and all proceeds from the contest, including ticket gate and T-shirt sales will be earmarked to help Luna Cares in the fight against breast cancer. It is also the Kids Fest game. Beginning at 12:45 p.m. several Miami varsity and club teams will be on the concourse with free demonstrations for youth in attendance. Bill Douglas will have the call for the game and it can be seen live on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

All Mountain riding demands a certain level of quality and strength. The Easton Haven seatpost lives up to the high standard of quality that All Mountain riding demands. Lightweight is always a factor when considering new parts but strength is also a factor. It's pretty hard to get the best of both worlds but the Haven is able to deliver. Weighing in at a claimed weight of 285 grams, the Haven employs crucial technology. TaperWall Technology reduces weight and increases strength. It achieves this by placing materiel in critical places where it is needed and reducing materiel in areas where it not needed. This saves weight while maintaining much need strength. RAD (Relief-Area Design) has been designed to spread the stress throughout the post, rather than having the stress applied in one area. This distribution of stress allows for more durability and higher strength.
The Haven seatpost is a fantastic upgrade to any trail bike, All Mountain or otherwise. The strength to weight ratio is a much sought after. This is because the lighter you are the faster you go. Also, the stronger your parts, the harder you can go. The Easton Haven lets you ride with confidence.

'Forgotten' man sparks Mountlake Terrace boys to win
Zerom's big second quarter lifts Hawks to win over Foss to punch ticket to Tacoma
Zerom scored 14 second-quarter points for the Hawks, jumpstarting the Terrace offense that outscored Foss 26-14 in the period and helping lead Mountlake Terrace to a 63-53 victory over Foss on Saturday night at Glacier Peak High School.
"Usually teams scout us they forget about me," Zerom said. "? I was just feeling it. I just try to do what I have to do."
The senior guard, who averages about five points a game, finished with 15. While he wasn't the Hawks' leading scorer, he provided a spark for the Mountlake Terrace offense and helped open up other shooters when the Foss defense came out to guard him.
Zerom's emergence helped alter the Hawks' entire gameplan. Mountlake Terrace head coach Nalin Sood wanted his team pounding the ball into the paint early, but that strategy changed when Zerom, Marquis Armstead and post Greg Bowman got hot on outside and mid-range shots.
"Here's how smart I am as a coach, (I said) let's really do a great job of getting the ball in the paint and beat them in the paint," Sood said. "? You can't tell kids, if they're open, not to shoot it."
During Sood's postgame interview, Zerom hustled to the locker room and almost entered the Foss one by mistake. Sood took the moment to find a rare criticism of Zerom's performance.
"He did a good job. That's the only thing he messed up on tonight," Sood said with a laugh.
Zerom got plenty of help from his teammates as Mountlake Terrace turned in a very balanced scoring effort. Armstead finished with 18 points -- 12 of which came on 3-pointers -- and Bowman scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Blake Fernandez added 11 points for the Hawks.
"The guys just found their rhythm," Sood said. "The guys got in a rhythm and made their shots."
Mountlake Terrace (21-3 overall) caught a huge break just one minute into the game. Foss star senior Dezmyn Trent, who averages 28 points per game, went to the bench and did not return. Trent injured his hamstring in practice on Friday and tried to play anyway, but couldn't stay on the court.
Sood felt bad for the guard/wing who was unable to compete in the final high school game of his career.
"I know he's disappointed, but I told him after the game his career's not over," Sood said. "We're going to hear about him. I wish he would have played. You want to go beat the best and he's one of the best players. They're a formidable team without him and with him, obviously, they'd be even better."
Even without Trent, Foss (16-6) pushed Mountlake Terrace until the end. Jericho Ballard -- who finished with 16 points -- scored the final 10 points of the third quarter to offset 10 points by Bowman in the period.
In the fourth quarter, it was Tamariye Nelson doing most of the damage for Foss. Nelson, who finished with 18 points, scored seven and helped get Foss to within six points.
But the Hawks shut the door, thanks in large part to seven points on free throws in the closing minutes, and were able to hang on and clinch a return to the Tacoma Dome for the second consecutive year.
Last season, Mountlake Terrace lost its first two games in Tacoma, to eventual state champion Rainier Beach and fourth place Lake Washington. This year, the Hawks hope to bring something home with them.
"Last year was disappointing at the end that we didn't medal, or get a trophy. But I was thinking this week there are a lot of teams that are happy just to get down there," Sood said. "So we're very fortunate, and you never take it for granted to go to Tacoma and go play against the best eight. But once we get down there we want to see what we can do to be better than last year."
Zerom, too, is eager to return to the Tacoma Dome.
"You try to forget (last year) but you really can't. You have to use it as motivation," Zerom said. "I think we're better. We'll go down there and make some noise."
At Glacier Peak H.S.

Many folks dream of turning their recipes into a cookbook and I hope to answer some of the questions you might have about the process in a concise manner. Below are some pointers that might help you out but there's lots of other great tips out there and I encourage you to read as much as you can. (I've provided some great links at the end.)
In this post I offer some advice, but more important, interspersed are a lot of questions for you to ask yourself. There are no right or wrong answers, just points to consider and to help you refine your idea as you pursue your goal. These are not meant to discourage, but to encourage you to think about your project so that you can best position it, in case you decide to try to sell it and get it published.
[Note: This post was revised and updated in 2013, to reflect some of the changes and innovations in the publishing industry, including some interesting self-publishing options.]
Here are ten tips to help you get started:
1. Start With A Great Idea
Come up with an idea. And while you're at it, make it a good one.
Perhaps you have a bevy of good recipes. Or you want to be famous and have a show on television. Maybe you want to be rich. All are reasons to write a book. But the best is because you want to share your great food and terrific stories with readers. If you look at your favorite cookbooks, each one has at least one recipe that's amazing, that you make over and over again. If not, the author's voice rings through and you like thumbing through it for the writing or the photographs. In either case, there's something about it that excites you.
As someone once wrote about Julia Child "…everyone wants to be her, but no one would dream of putting in 10 years of obsessive work on a cookbook." Yes indeed, Julia spent ten years writing Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Are you willing to spend ten years laboring over a manuscript? That's probably not likely and shouldn't take that long, but you should believe in your idea enough to obsess over it night and day during the time you're writing it, and be willing to spend a big chunk of your life devoted to it.
Note: If you want to contact someone who is a cookbook author, agent, or editor to pick their brain be aware that you are asking someone to take time from their own work and life, to consult with you on yours. Read Modern Etiquette: Asking for a favor, which has guidelines on how to approach someone. Keep inquiries short and sweet. Get to the point – don't just say, "I want to write a cookbook. Can you tell me what I should do?" And for the sake of everyone's eyes, avoid superfluous text and use spacing between paragraphs. If someone is a professional editor, ask if there is a fee for the initial consultation if you have a lot of questions and want to set up a time to talk.
2. Find Your Niche
Saying you're doing "seasonal and regional foods" isn't enough anymore. Everyone does that—or says they do…what makes yours any better? Find something else, or work within that genre.
There are thousands of cookbooks that come out every year. Think about what makes you buy the ones you buy? Would your book appeal to you? Is this the kind of book you could see in a bookstore? Head to your local bookstore or online and see what is on display, and selling.
Like it or not, that's what's out there and that's what people are buying. If they weren't, no one would be selling them. Big-box bookstores exist to make money and they're trying to sell books so most likely, 'One Hundred Recipes from Tammy Terrific' can't compete with 'One Hundred Meals from Rachel Ray'. Since they only have limited space, you need to give them a reason to carry your particular book. How is yours going to fit in, and /or compete?
Evaluate cooking trends. Scope Amazon and cookware shops. Is there a new item on the horizon that might need a cookbook to be sold alongside, like a panini-grill, a home smoker, a blow torch, or an ice cream maker? Are there any foods coming down the pipeline that might need recipes or merit further explanation? Soy, gluten-free, whole grains, and home-cooking are all popular right now. But what's next? Hamburgers? Ceviche? Organic? A low-protein diet? What's the next big thing?
3. Find An Agent
While it's not imperative to have an agent, most editors and publishers give top-priority to proposals submitted by an agent. One editor told me she gets twenty proposals a day and frankly, doesn't have the time to even look at most of them let alone respond. The best way to find an agent is to look at cookbooks that you like, check the acknowledgments, and take note of the agent. Then do some research to contact them with your proposal. Read query letter pet peeves from agents, to get a handle on how to approach one.
A good agent knows exactly where to send your proposal and is on good terms with the top editors. If an agent accepts to take you on, that means they can sell it or will try to, since no one wants to push something they don't believe in. You may get passed over by an agent for no apparent reason (trust me on that one…) as they may have a similar proposal on their docket or another author working in the same genre. (Same with editors. You may simply get rejected based on the fact they have a book in print or in the pipeline on the same subject.)
Done right, with the help of an agent, your proposal can land on an editor's desk the next day. A good agent will also help a writer shape that proposal and they handle on the contractual and legalese. Not that they have a crystal-ball into the future, but they do have their fingers on what's selling and what's not. As mentioned, you can sell a proposal without an agent but a good one will understand your concept and work on your behalf to get you're your book sold. Finding an agent is one crucial part of the puzzle and in my opinion, one that's important.
4. The Proposal
When I tell people I spent around eight months just working on just the proposal for my ice cream book, they're shocked. But editors want to see a full and clear vision of what you're going to write about. It's especially true for a first-time author, but even for someone who's written several books. Each book is a brand new project and requires a fresh start. And often the editors have to answer to higher-ups in marketing, sales, etc…and don't, in general, have the last word.
Included in the proposal should be extensive samples of content, the tables of contents, recipe list and sample recipes if applicable, as well as a winning biography of you. And very importantly, a plan for how the book will sell once its published. Including as much as possible in there is a good idea, perhaps a sample chapter or two. But be careful: One editor told me she got a very good proposal but it was accompanied by some homemade cupcakes that were terrible and she found them, half-eaten, tossed in the trash of the employee break room where she left them for the staff. Not a good sign.
Most importantly, this is the time to give this your very best shot. Be concise and self-critical, and only send in your best effort. Editors are simply too busy to take the time to sift through a lot of material so your proposal should be, as they say, a "killer app."
TIP: Publishers these days love numbers; Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter followers, as well as blog traffic. When you proposal lands at an editor, they need to "sell" the idea to the marketing team and nowadays those numbers have become important. They're not vital, but the more followers that you have, the stronger your proposal will be. If you don't have high numbers, don't be discouraged. But an explanation of your social media and platforms will improve your position. If your numbers are low, explain how engaged with you those followers are. (Add proof, if you can.)
5. Give It Time
From the time you start writing down ideas, the proposal is written, the book sold, the book written and edited, and then printed and released, most books take much longer to come to fruition than people imagine. Plan on at least two years from the moment you start your quest until you see something tangible.
Most books have a one year lead time, which means you generally have a year to write the book. Then it can take another year to edit, re-test recipes, design and photograph the book. Finally, another year passes before the book is on the shelves.
6. Paying For It
Although it sounds tempting to live off your writing, for most writers, it ain't their ship coming in. According to Dianne Jacob, in Will Write For Food, in her survey she notes a first-time author can expect to get a $5k-$25k advance.
But even if you get, let's say, $50k, that might sound like a lot of money. So figure your agent gets 15%, the IRS gets 27%, plus figure $5k in expenses like food costs, printer cartridges (why are those things so darn expensive?), and equipment. And if you're anything like me, you'll go through a lot of pajama bottoms too, the preferred uniform of those who work at home. So that's approximately $25,000 for a good 1-2 years of full-time work.
Most people who write books do something else to supplement their income: teach classes, lead tours, consult, have a restaurant or go to real jobs where they have to get dressed and leave the house for each day. Others marry rich. I'm not kidding.
7. Going Inside and Outside Your Blog
If you have a blog, use your blog to practice and refine what you do. Since anyone can start a blog, use yours to go out on a limb and write something outside your comfort zone.
If you're used to writing recipes, for example, do a review of a product, visit a food producer, conduct an interview—whatever. Keep a theme going, but challenge yourself on occasion. If you want, keep your blog private and just use it for practice. Very few writers just start tapping a keyboard, or pick up a pen, and write something magnificent. I'm the exception. (Just kidding!) Most of good writing is editing. Step away, then come back to your writing. Or ask a friend who has good sensibilities, that you respect, to read what you wrote and get some feedback.
Another option is to use a writing coach. This can be money well spent if they get you motivated to write the book you want to write.
Note: If you're going to ask someone for help, you should thank them properly. A lot of people give advice freely and graciously; I can't even begin to thank those who helped me enough. But do take the time and have the courtesy to acknowledge the assistance of others. It'll come back to you in spades and you'll gain the respect and trust of others for acknowledging their contribution to your success.
8. Sell It
It all comes down to selling. There are lots of great ideas for cookbooks out there, but if you want to do a book, you need to have an idea that's salable since most publishing houses are now owned by larger, global media corporations who are looking at the bottom line. But there are independents still out there that do superb cookbooks. See what's out there, look at what publishing houses are releasing and what people are buying. Differentiate yourself from the pack if necessary, or go with the flow.
Say your book is all about making great salads. Great! Does the world need another book of salads? No. Do you have something extra to offer? Is there something special about your salads that make them different? Are you using a new product or vegetable to make those salads? If you do, that could be your hook.
People often want to publish treasured family recipes. If you are thinking along those lines, make sure to explain what makes your family special, and why are those recipes. Just because friends ask you for them, you need to explain in your proposal that ten- or twenty-five thousand other people will pay $30 for a book of them. Is your family from an ethnic group noted for something special (ie: Korean pickles, Swedish cordials, French dips, etc)? Is there something in your family's culinary history that stands out?
Italian cooking is another popular topic. You may have a lot of great pasta recipes. But how does that make you different from the multitude of established (and already published) Italian cooking authors, like Faith Willinger or Marcella Hazan? Find what makes you different from the rest of the pack. Is it your take on it? Is it your personality? Are there techniques that are groundbreaking or truly exceptional that you can share?
9. Do It Yourself
If you want to write a book just for the fun of it, or to sell, there's several places online to do-it-yourself and that can be a lot of fun if you have the pluck to do it yourself. In the past few years, many options have opened up, such as publishing an e-book through Amazon, Lulu.com, and Apple offers an iBooks Author publishing tool.
And there are apps for creating your own cookbook as well, such as Cookbook Cafe.
You don't need to go through a traditional publisher and you have complete control over every aspect of the book, but self-published books need to find an audience so they sell best if you have some sort of outlet for sales, such as a blog or another medium. Another aspect is publicity. You won't have a publishing house behind you pushing your book and making media contacts so you'll need to take that on yourself. Still, no one's as concerned about your book as you, and there are many self-published authors that sell tons of books on their own.
10. Do You Click?
In these cost-conscious times, if you have photographic skills, that can be a huge plus. Cookbook photography and styling is very expensive, costing $500 and up, per photo. So imagine the budget for a book with fifty, full-color professional photos. (And often the price of the book reflects that.)
If you are a good photographer, or are willing to learn, that can work to your advantage nowadays. If you can do a good job and save the publisher some money, that just might be a major plus in your favor during these cash-strapped times. Include samples in your proposal, but make sure they're the very best you're capable of doing.
Lastly, don't be discouraged. Julia Child was rejected by almost every publishing house because Mastering the Art of French Cooking wasn't considered a salable book. Later in life, another of her books was turned down, which became a huge success as well. The folks who wrote The Silver Palate Cookbook came up with the idea over drinks at home one night and had no idea what they were doing. But they took a risk, worked hard, and it paid off: They got the book they wanted, it met with great success, and the rest – as they say – is history.
This is just a general overview and there are lots more to consider if you want to write a cookbook. But I hope these questions and suggestions give you a good introduction to the process – good luck!
A few excellent books that I recommend are:

I got an interesting response today from Sean Lanksbury (and forwarded by Jeff Martin) at our very own Washington State Library regarding that "Oldest Books in the Library" post I made back on January 10th. Sean writes:
History of Washington, The Evergreen State, from Early Dawn to Daylight is done in a grandiose and heroic style very common to late 19th century histories. The Editor, Julian Hawthorne (1846 - 1934) was the only son of novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne and painter Sophia Peabody. The work was the editor's second work of Historical Non-Fiction, following The Story of Oregon: A History With Portraits and Biographies, (New York, NY: American Historical Publishing, 1892.) Hawthorne was also known as a writer of gothically-styled Romantic Era novels, which were commercially successful but critically disdained for not following in his father's footsteps. His non-fiction editing fared better in critical circles.
Colonel George Douglas Brewerton was a poet, sketch artist and painter who during his military service was part of Kit Carson's 1848 expedition from Los Angeles, California to New Mexico. He gained some notoriety for publishing a three-part work on the trip in Harper's Weekly. Brewerton came to Tacoma in the mid to late 1880s. WSL has a copy of a poem he wrote and recited memorializing the Grand Army of the Republic and fallen soldiers to a Tacoma crowd on Decoration Day (c/k/a Memorial Day) in 1889:
"George Douglas Brewerton: Painter, Historian, and Poet of the Far West," by Lewis O. Saum. The Pacific Northwest Quarterly, Vol. 94, No. 1 (Winter, 2002/2003), pp. 3-13)
"Julian Hawthorne." Contemporary Authors Online. Detroit: Gale, 2003. Literature Resource Center. Web. 31 Jan. 2014.

Why yes, there's been a redesign around these parts. It's like any other living space- you get a little tired of the drapes or the wall color or even just feel the need to move the furniture around just to give it a fresh look. The old one was beautiful, but a bit outdated and I just wanted something a little cleaner and fresher.
Just to get you started, here's a little FYI on what you'll find find around these parts. There's the obligatory About me page where you find out all my deep dark secrets. (Not really, but you do at least find out whether I love milk or dark chocolate. And what my friends think of me.)
Of course, if you're here for the books, you'll get information on When the Stars Go Blue (St. Martin's Griffin/2010), winner of BEST YOUNG ADULT NOVEL: 2011 INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS, including an excerpt, as well as info on my previous novels, Adiós to My Old Life and It's Not About the Accent. Also, in the coming weeks, I'll be adding more information about my upcoming Diversion Books release, Both Sides Now, including links to giveaways and of course, the all-important, release dates and WHERE to buy.
Admittedly, I'm not blogging quite as much as I once did, but I do tweet frequently (sometimes too frequently) and the tweets show up in the sidebar along with a handy link to my Twitter account. I also update with reasonable frequency on Facebook, so there are various and sundry ways with which to keep up with me. So please, give me a holler- I do enjoy connecting with people. In the meantime, look around and feel to comment if the spirit moves.

Eight New Coffees Including Espresso Blends
Sweet Maria's Ethiopiques Blend, a yearly favorite. Made up of three new crop washed coffees (all 90+!), this one is an absolute killer in the espresso machine, and a super complex brewed coffee - syrupy sweetness, array of fruits, striking florals and acidity.
Sweet Maria's Altiplano Blend is also back up on the site. It's made up of 2 Guatemala coffees, as well as a newly landed Nicaragua. Totally "Classic" espresso profile, chocolate, citrus, body, and slight nuttiness in the finish. A total crowd-pleasing espresso, and great for milk drinks too!

Ever wondered if microchips are worth it? If you ask Amanda L., they sure are! Here's her story:
We adopted our cat Dempsey in January 2007 from the Houston SPCA. Dempsey is the smartest cat we've ever met. He plays fetch, drinks water from the faucet and follows you everywhere.
So we were heartbroken when, shortly after a moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 2010, we lost Dempsey. We put up fliers, stayed up at night listening for him and searched the neighborhood for weeks, but with no luck.
We moved to New York City the following year but never stopped thinking about Dempsey and wondering where he could be and whether he was even alive.
Then, one Saturday while we were sitting in the park reading, we received an email from a vet in Ann Arbor—they found Dempsey!
An amazing woman had noticed him around her yard all summer and had been feeding him and looking out for him. They had warmed to each other, and so she decided to take him to a vet to see if he belonged to anyone. The first thing the vet did was scan him and they found our information. It was almost exactly two years to the day since we had lost Dempsey. We still cannot believe it!
Dempsey is currently recuperating with his grandparents in Michigan, and we are going to see him soon. We owe our reunion with Dempsey entirely to the kindness of a stranger and his microchip. We are so thankful that we have him back in our lives!
For more info on why microchips are awesome, check out this video.
Chips are also good if one has cats like I have who keep loosing their collars.
Why can't pets be tax deductions like children? Maybe that would cut down on the abandonment? If corporations have been declared persons why not pets?
I'm so glad Dempsey was okay! I love stories with happy endings.
Hopefully the handsome fellow won't get outdoors again and face all of the many dangers out there, including getting lost another time or getting hit by a car. He was so lucky this time. Glad he finally made it home safe and sound.
It's a dangerous myth that our cats need to roam outdoors. An INDOOR CAT is a SAFE CAT - not a lost, missing, starving, ravaged by predators/creepy neighbor kid, or a run-over cat! As much love as they give us, do we not owe our feline friends this level of preventive care and protection in return?
I had to give my cats to my friend (a cat lady of her own with about 9 cats) while I moved into an apartment on a temporary basis. Broke my heart but I knew they would be spoiled and loved. Through a combination of tragic circumstances, all of the cats escaped and my two still have not been found. They are micro-chipped but have been indoor cats since day one. I hope that someone finds and takes them to a local shelter or vet...it's been 6 months, but I still pray every day that they will get to come home.
Although I agree totally that we must do all we can to keep cats safe, I draw the line at keeping them indoors as "house cats" In no way can they display their natural behaviour. Cats are born to hunt, sleep in sun spots outside and wander as they please. I know this is always a risk but I can only liken keeping them cooped up indoors as being in prison!
All the cats I have owned have lived long happy lives. The last one was 21 yrs old when she passed and was inside all the time unless we were outside with her. The one we have now had been abandoned and came to our door in February this year. She stays in almost all the time and definately at night. But we do allow her out if we are going to be home to let her back in. We don't live near busy roads but are constantly on the watch for hawks, coyotes, and other predators. I guess I'm remiss in taking her to a shelter to see if she has been microchipped, but I rather imagine that whoever had her didn't care enough to take her along with them when they moved.
It's wonderful that the lady cared for Dempsey all summer and didn't try to chase him off. I know it was a financial obligation for her but she still took it on. I love it that she tried to even find out if he had an owner! What a wonderful woman!!! God Bless her forever! In fact, God Bless ALL animal lovers everywhere! Animal rescuers make a huge contribution to life on this planet! They are truly unsung heroes! Just ask any animal who was ever rescued ...... :-)
I also believe that the outdoor environment offers a lot of natural stimulation for the cats, that I believe are essential for a balanced and happy cat. Therefore, I offer my cats a SAFE outdoor cat yard with cat fencing, so they can have their own outdoor territory where they can hunt, sit in the sun, roam, climb trees, chase bugs and eat grass. There ARE solutions so that the outdoor does not mean a death sentence for a cat. Every owner should look into these alternatives to provide the best environment for their pets. My cats also walk on leashes.
Here's the dilema: you kep cats indoors and they don't get to "display natural behaviors" -- but those natural behaviors are destructive (millions of precious birds are killed for sport each year, along with rabbits, and other small animals at alarming rate). Yes, cats get to have fun outdoors, but at the expense of other species who NEED to display their nariral behaviors to SURVIVE. Domesticated cats have no natural predetors.
Also, cats do well indoors. They do not suffer if they do not hunt. For those concerned about their pet cats' fulfillment and enjoyment of life (which is wonderful!!), invest in a cat enclosure in your yard or give them access to a sun porch, toys, playmates, playtime and a lot of interaction with you. They will live a wonderful life -- and wildlife will have a better chance of surviving. Its all about finding the best BALANCE for all living things on this tiny planet we all call home.

Out of Stock
Item # AAS0006
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Bib Shorts in stock than that.
Assos T FI.Uno_S5 Bib Shorts $0.00
Assos refers to their FI.Uno S5 Bib Shorts as their "All-around racing and training shorts". Assos takes the hallmarks of the FI.13 S5 and re-engineers them in a way that provides a balance between technical advancement and cost control. They're built entirely of Assos' new A430 fabric, giving you both excellent muscle compression and sweat evaporation. The cutting lines here are less sophisticated as the FI.13 S5, but you nevertheless get superb performance from the fact that the FI.Uno S5 is built in an AEPD design for on-the-bike comfort and has 6 panels to promote muscle support.
The FI.Uno S5 lacks in the curved chamois design of its higher-priced counterparts, but the bib straps pull the chamois into place. And the chamois has the same next-to-skin softness of FI.13 and the FI.Mille, and it also shares the heat-ventilation dimples on the chamois.
The overlocked seams provide cost savings for the FI.Uno, and they have the additional upside of providing excellent elasticity. So you'll save money and be more comfortable. The welded leg grippers are the same story. They flawlessly hold the legs of the shorts in place, but they do so at a lower cost.
If you're looking to experience the handsome fashion and the performance benefits of Assos, but your preference is to do so at a reasonable cost, the FI.Uno S5 is tailor made for you. Yes, it's the least expensive pair of Assos bibs. But if they didn't make fashion sense or technical sense, Assos wouldn't make them. From a bang-for-the-buck perspective, they'll tell you they're the best bib shorts.
The Assos FI.Uno S5 Bib Shorts are available five colors, in sizes Small through TIR.

Very disappointed
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought my bib in January 2014 after washing in cold water gentle cycle the back mesh has come apart. I figured I try out the low end bib just to see what all the hype is about but only to be disappointed. I have bibs that are cheaper example a Pearl in r cool and never had a problem like this. I would say I got a bad bib but I also had issues with assos early winter gloves that I had to take to my local cleaner to be repaired. I will be waring Capo and Rapha from now on. I can say the packaging was very nice.

Don't like 'em
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
OK, so they have great materials, are made well and fit like a second skin-all good. I just don't like the chamois. The seat is good-just the right amount of padding. It's the front of the chamois that I don't like. It's too wide and too bulky-not a conforming fit like most other manufacturers use. I like Sugoi, Hincapie and Pearl Izumi product much better and at a fraction of the cost. These shorts have a lot of cachet, but cachet won't help you 50 miles down the road when they become uncomfortable to your manhood. I think bibs are very personal and this one just doesn't work for me. Voted 'Likely to be seen on eBay soon'
Follow up: They're gone-thanks eBay!!

I am 6', 170lbs with a 39" chest. Which...
I am 6', 170lbs with a 39" chest. Which size should I get?
Ray Toland
L. Reasoning: These shorts run just slightly snug and I think M would be just a tad confining for your build, especially the length of shoulder straps. I am 6'2" and 180 with 44 chest. L is snug and straps any shorter would be too snug. Chest size not too important with bibs; so Gould have no problem.
I'm 6'1", 170, 40" chest, wide shoulders, and wear a medium in assos bibs. If you're built like a bike racer they should fit fine. The straps will be tight when standing but perfect in riding position.
L: I'm nearly the same measurements (6'0.5", 168lbs, 39" chest, 32 waist) and have enjoyed the S5 Unos for over a year. The straps are starting to get loose, but I appreciate the non-compressive front. Legs and stomach are where the compression is needed and these deliver the right amount.
Ready to get back in the saddle!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Riding I do: I currently ride 50+ miles a week on the unpaved, dirt roads of Catalina Island. I was exclusively a road cyclist for the 17 years that I lived in San Francisco before I moved to the island.
Me: 5'9" 155 lbs
Review: Riding trails and dirt roads for me, is a lot tougher than the road riding I was used to. There's a lot more vibration, inconsistency to the surfaces and as a result muscle fatigue. I found that the shorts that I was using weren't getting the job done so I started looking around and found these on sale. I've now been out on 6 rides with these and I can say that they are the best that I've ever owned. Other brands that I've used are Pearl Izumi and Voler which were fine for road riding. I've been able to ride three straight days (total of 6 rides now) without any soreness while before I was feeling the pain on just a single ride. The quality of the materials and pad are the best I've owned. I can stay in the saddle while climbing and descending without a problem on the dry, dusty and bumpy trails of Catalina now. There aren't many "flat" sections out here but I can handle hose too now thanks to my Assos F1 Uno!
Also, a shout out to Sara L from Competitive Cyclist! I incorrectly entered my address (doooohhhhh!!!) for shipping and she was on top of getting it corrected even though the product had already shipped (caught it within 20 minutes of placing the order). She was friendly and helpful and even followed up with an email a couple days later to make sure it arrived. Awesome customer service! Thank you!

Last year in Texas, a scared little white pup named Diamond arrived at the City of Abilene's municipal shelter. She was dirty, painfully matted and very scared. No one knew it at the time, but she was also deaf.
If Diamond had arrived at the shelter a year earlier, she may never have found her happy ending. But the folks who work at the City of Abilene shelter are especially dedicated and strongly committed to saving animals' lives. Naturally, they jumped at the chance to take part in the ASPCA's Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project, unveiled in September.
Part of the ASPCA Animal Relocation Initiative, the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project helps cash-strapped municipal shelters like Abilene's relocate dogs to off-site adoption programs, rescues or private shelters by providing municipal shelters $50 per dog placed. That money can be spent on vet care for an animal, transportation of the pet, or on anything else that will help move the animal out of the shelter.
For Diamond, this program was a godsend. Abilene was able to use the Petrie subsidy to move her to The Pawed Squad rescue. After a desperately needed grooming, Diamond revealed herself to be an adorable little Bichon Frise! She also came out of her shell and showed she would make a wonderful companion.
Soon after rescuing Diamond, the Pawed Squad was able to place her in a loving home that cherishes her every day. Her deafness was never an issue for these awesome adopters.
Congratulations to Abilene, The Pawed Squad rescue and Diamond's happy family. We're so glad the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project is changing lives like hers and thousands of others.
Want to help support our efforts to find homes for thousands of homeless pets like Diamond? Please consider becoming an ASPCA Guardian today.
I live in Seattle, WA and would gladly transport dogs. Let me know how I can help.
As a monthly supporter of ASPCA, it is this sort of story that makes me gald I do so. Both of our current rescue dogs, a Pug-Chihauhua mix, and a Pug came from Arkansas (Not together we rescued them at different times)courtesy of transport programs that save them from regions where there are not as many adopters as dogs.
I would love to help transport animals so they can get a second at left. I live in Washington, dc
Thanks to everyone who rescues animals!
I am owned by three rescue dogs. Two were abused and neglected, the third was picked up as a stray so I don't really know anything about her. I do know that the two that were definatley abused are the best dogs that I have ever been owned by.
I also own a companion bird rescue and refuge that I fund myself. It seems that the ones who were abused do turn out to be the best because they seem to know and remember the life that they had before they came here.
Although I have to close the doors on the rescue because of financial reasons, I am so happy that there are caring and loving people who are willing to take in these poor babies that have been dealt a tough life. These animals did not get to choose their life with an abuser, the abuser picked them out and it's really a shame because animals are so generous with their love and adoration for their people.
God bless all of the ASPCA members and Supporters. I live in California, and if there is any way possible to help, please advise. Sincerely
Thank God for these wonderful people at ASPCA who save these sweet animals. No animal should ever suffer at the hands of a human. I am a monthly donor and am so happy to see the money collected by the ASPCA goes to such worthwhile animals and causes. Thank you.
I'm interested in rides.............. Where do I start or where do I go???????????????????
Bless the people who adopted her. And bless the ASPCA for what you do.
The dog I have now was flown out of another state the day before euthanization at a kill shelter by some kind hearted pilot willing to transport a couple of dogs in order to give them a chance for adoption. Just by chance, had never been there before, I was at the Humane Society shelter 80 miles away from where I live, when she and the other dog were brought in from the landing strip (on a Sunday). I took her home with me. I want those people willing to transport this precious cargo, to know that their efforts are not in vain. It works for everyone. Truly a win/win situation. I love this dog. She is so sweet.

|The Byler Bunch Debuts on Screens Nationwide
Florida's first sextuplets – the Byler Bunch of Wesley Chapel – made their photo and video debut from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, FL.
Parents Karoline and Ben Byler held the firstborn of the six, Brady Christopher, while being interviewed live via satellite on the CBS Early Morning News shortly before 8 AM on Thursday, Sept. 13th. Reporters from broadcast and print media throughout the Tampa/St. Petersburg area had their chance to talk with the Bylers at a press conference later in the morning, where photos and video of the babies taken on Sept. 12th were distributed.
"I'm still in shock," mom Karoline replied when asked if the sudden increase in her family's size has fully sunken in yet. "While they're still here at All Children's, the nurses are doing 90 percent of the work. So I've had a chance to rest but I know that will change."
Mom and dad have already tackled diaper duty – not an easy maneuver on a baby who weighs three pounds or less. They've been able to help feed the babies with mother's milk delivered through a feeding tube. And they've held three of the babies whose medical conditions are now stable enough to tolerate the extra TLC.
As of noon on Sept. 13th, four of the babies are listed in fair condition. That includes Brady Christopher, Eli Benjamin, Charlie Craig and MacKenzie Margaret – the lone girl in the Bunch. Their brothers Ryan Patrick and Jackson Robert remain in serious condition.
Dr. Fauzia Shakeel, one of the All Children's Hospital Neonatologists on the sextuplets care team, told reporters the babies are progressing nicely but still need time to grow. "Their lungs and their brain are still premature and need time to catch up in development," she explained, adding that it will probably be mid-November before the babies can go home.
And that won't come soon enough for the Byler's other child, 4-year old Zoe. She can't wait to share her bedroom with baby sister MacKenzie and was thrilled yesterday when she got to hold baby brother Charlie for the first time all by herself.
Media interested in obtaining high-resolution photos of the Byler Bunch may e-mail Media Relations Manager Ann Miller (email@example.com) for a link to the Byler Bunch photo gallery.
