Loyalty, loss, and the ties that bind. These are the ingredients of The Recipe Club, a "novel cookbook" that combines an authentic story of friendship with more than 80 delicious recipes.
Lilly and Val are lifelong friends, united as much by their differences as by their similarities. Lilly, dramatic and confident, lives in the shadow of her beautiful, wayward mother and craves the attention of her distant, disapproving father. Val, shy and idealistic—and surprisingly ambitious— struggles with her desire to break free from her demanding housebound mother and a father whose dreams never seem to come true.
In childhood, "LillyPad" and "ValPal" form an exclusive two-person club, writing intimate letters in which they share hopes, fears, deepest secrets—and recipes, from Lilly's "Lovelorn Lasagna" to Valerie's "Forgiveness Tapenade." Readers can cook along as the friends travel through time facing the challenges of independence, the joys and heartbreaks of first love, and the emotional complexities of family relationships, identity, mortality, and goals deferred.
The Recipe Club sustains Lilly and Val's bond through the decades, regardless of what different paths they take or what misunderstandings threaten to break them apart . . . until the fateful day when an act of kindness becomes an unforgivable betrayal.
Now, years later, while trying to recapture the trust they've lost, Lilly and Val reunite once more—only to uncover a shocking secret. Will it destroy their friendship, or bring them ever closer?
Dear Lilly, I've started a letter just like this about a thousand times. "Dear Lilly," I'd write, as if I knew what came next. But that was as far as I got. I never knew what to say or how to say it. And I wasn't sure you'd ever want to hear my voice again. But today I know exactly what I have to tell you, and I know you'd want this to come from me. My mother died. Last month, of cancer. Maybe your father already told you; I don't remember what he said at the funeral. It was a hard day. It's been a hard two years. And now that it's over, it feels like walking through a dream-a milky gauze of grief. And relief. And guilt at the relief. Oh, Lilly. This is not how I hoped to find you again. But maybe it's the only way. Death always makes me want to make sense of things. I want to understand my mother's life. I want to understand my own. Perhaps this all feels too raw, too real, too intimate. If so, I'm sorry. But I just had to take the chance that you'd still be there for me the way you once were. I can't begin to tell you how much it would mean for us to reconnect. Even after-especially after-all these many years. Valerie
TO: email@example.com FROM: firstname.lastname@example.com DATE: APRIL 7, 2000 SUBJECT: RE: HELLO AGAIN
Dear Val, I honestly don't know what to say.... I'm so sorry about your mother. I hope you find some solace in the knowledge that she loved you and was proud of you. I hope you can carry that with you, along with her smile and that wonderful, raucous laugh that always surprised everyone. Regards to you. And to your family. Lilly
TO: email@example.com FROM: firstname.lastname@example.com DATE: APRIL 7, 2000 SUBJECT: A THOUSAND PARDONS!
Forgive me for that awful version of a ten-cent drugstore sympathy card and let me start all over: Val, hearing from you has shaken me to the very core. I'm reminded of all we once had and lost. Twenty-six years of silence-and then, at long last, you appear! When I got your e-mail I cried out loud. There you were, or the essence of you, in your brief words. So very palpable. I mean, Christ! Thanks to cyberspace, you were almost here with me in these beloved mountains. Oh, nuts. I'm not very good at this. What I'm trying to convey, in a clumsy way, is that I've spent a lot of time and energy (not to mention thousands of bucks on therapy) convincing myself that our fight was just one of life's many painful lessons. People change, they go different ways. Even the best of friends. I told myself, so be it. "Move on ...," to quote Sondheim. (The very song I once used to open my act.) But the truth is, Val, I can't tell you how many times I've whispered to myself, tonight I'll look out into the audience and she'll be there. I can't tell you how many times I've pretended that somehow, you will just turn up. That somehow we will find a way to be friends again. Look, it's all just a long-winded way of saying: yes, Val, I'm still here for you. Honestly, sweetie, you can count on that. I know when we last spoke, so many moons ago, the problems between us-I mean all of us-were insurmountable (at least they seemed that way to me). Which is why I think you'll find it amazing, if not unbelievable, that at long last my father and I are becoming close. I recently moved back home to live with him. It's temporary. And though it's been good for each of us, it's also been, as you might imagine, less than easy. In fact, right now I'm taking a break at the cabin. (Yes, the family still keeps the place, complete with outhouse and NO PHONE! Can you believe it? So, to get my e-mails I have to trek all the way to Lake Placid, almost forty-five minutes from Keene Valley, to an Internet care-which I thank the techno-goddesses for.) Anyway, at your mother's funeral, you may have noticed my father is a changed man. The infamously stony Isaac Stone is much more vulnerable these days. Your mother's death hit him surprisingly hard. It's the first time I've seen him weep. It must have something to do with all the losses he's facing: a recent retirement. Failing eyes. A broken heart-he's unable to let go of my mother, who's no longer with us. Which brings me back to the real question: why didn't I just reach out to you once I heard about your mother? The truth is, I got scared. I found myself hoping, with all my heart, that you would be the brave one to break our icy silence. And I thank you for that. I've been a coward. Maybe I just didn't know how to express the simple thing you said: I can't begin to tell you how much it would mean for us to reconnect. I won't trouble you with the details of my life right now. In summary: deep love, despair, deeper love, deeper despair, and now ... well, a sort of limbo place thanks to a lover who can't commit and my own confusion about intimacy, I'm trying to figure it all out, even though that's a bit like trying to lasso the moon. My heart goes out to you. My thoughts are with you, and your family. Despite the sad reason for your e-mail, I am extremely happy to hear from you. (Do you remember what loyal correspondents we were when we were kids?) Write again, if you have the time and the interest. Much love, Lilly P.S. How is "Golden Boy" ... Ben? Please send him my love.
TO: firstname.lastname@example.com FROM: email@example.com DATE: APRIL 10, 2000 SUBJECT: WHERE SHALL WE BEGIN?
Dear Lilly, I'm scattered and unfocused, broken. Losing my mother feels like an amputation. The psychic space within me that she still inhabits-will always inhabit?-has become a phantom pain. Excruciating, agonizing, relentless. And each time I realize she's gone forever-again and again, always as if it's the first time-I feel lightheaded and faint. Heartsick, too, as I obsessively count and recount the many years I spent pushing her away. All in a desperate attempt to "become" the person I, in fact, already was. Strangely enough, all this makes me realize how deeply I've missed you. I hunger for our friendship. Oh God, Lilly, we were so foolish. The only way I can make sense of what happened between us is to believe that perhaps we needed that terrible fight. Perhaps we were so fused at the soul as children that we had to separate in order to invent our adult selves. And perhaps we have both needed these long, dry years to heal the deep wound of rupture? Whatever the truth may be, I am so sorry for my part in all this, sorrier than I can ever say. Can you believe how old we are? Oh, Lillypad, let's be friends again! How are you really? Please write to me. Tell me everything, and then tell me more. Whatever happens next between us, speaking to you feels like a blessing. Maybe a renewed correspondence would be uplifting for both of us. Do you want to try? Your devoted friend, forever, Val
TO: firstname.lastname@example.com FROM: email@example.com DATE: APRIL 10, 2000 SUBJECT: WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
Lilly, I'm so ashamed of myself. I just reread your letter and then reread mine, and I realize that in my terrific preoccupation and self-absorption I didn't at all respond to what you wrote about your mother. What do you mean, she "is no longer with us"? What s going on? I'm filled with dread at the thought of more grief. And I apologize for my selfish letter. Please forgive me. Val
TO: firstname.lastname@example.com FROM: email@example.com DATE: APRIL 12, 2000 SUBJECT: RE: WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME
No, "Katherine the Great," as you used to call her, didn't pass away ... she ran away! Just one more act in the Stone family's ongoing saga. Even after twenty-six years, I'm sure you can remember our penchant for high drama. If I sound glib, forgive me. It was just so damn predictable. One morning, about six months ago, my mother left my father after forty-some-odd years of marriage. She just got up from breakfast with the dishes on the table and the kettle about to boil, and walked out the door. Perhaps she'd done one too many productions of A Doll's House. The sad and sorry truth: my mother never should have been married. And my father should have married someone else. She would have been much happier moving from one relationship to another. (Who does that remind you of? Yes, I am truly Katherine the Great's daughter.) And he was always looking for someone to be in awe of him, which she was not. I know I don't have to remind you of the blistering midnight battles that went on in my parents' bedroom, the ones we used to hear through the wall when you slept over. So, my mother is finally free, living on her own, downtown. I think she's dating. Big surprise ... what else is new? She doesn't want to talk to any of us, she said. Not until she "finds the Katherine she lost." It's like she's perpetually acting out her adolescence, even now, at seventy-three! My father spends every day grieving. This whole thing has aged him. Since he's no longer practicing, he spends a lot of time working on his orchids. His eyes always seem to have tears. He says it's the cataracts. I think it's his broken heart. You know, I tell myself I don't care about them splitting up. At age forty-seven, why should it matter? But at two in the morning last night I felt so very vulnerable and alone that I couldn't sleep. It was as if I was longing for something just out of my reach. And everything reminded me of my mother: her Italian shawl hanging on the back of my chair ... the poster she did for that Shakespeare festival, on the bedroom wall, with the picture of you in the corner! (Remember how she used your face for Puck?) The good news: I felt your presence with me and that provided great comfort. Lilly
TO: firstname.lastname@example.com FROM: firstname.lastname@example.com DATE: APRIL 15, 2000 SUBJECT: THIS IS SO WEIRD!
Memory is so oddly selective. I can't remember the shape or the fabric of your mother's Italian shawl, but I can absolutely picture its blue-gray-purple-brown color. It always reminded me of firm, dirty plums. And then the frightening, strangely thrilling sound of your parents' screaming fights. (In the rooms of my, memory, those fights stand out like some ridiculously romantic 18th-century French furniture: perverse, ornate proof that they loved each other with passionate intensity. Something I felt my parents lacked.) And of course I've always thought your mother was unbearably generous for turning me into Puck. That poster was the first thing in my life to give me a vision of my own immortality. It made me feel so pretty and so important. The truth is, after I gasped in horror about Katherine's quicksilver escape from a kitchen filled with dirty breakfast dishes, I laughed out loud! Is it too soon to admit stuff like that to you? I hope not. You know I've always loved Katherine the Great. I know she was hard for you in lots of ways, but I always envied that your mother seemed more interested in her own life than in yours or anyone else's; I guess it was an instructive counterpoint to my mom's constant, cloistered, cloying over-involvement with me and everyone else. You know, the longer I write the weirder this feels. It's like the last twenty-six years have telescoped into about twenty-six minutes. But look what time has wrought. Our fathers are old and wounded. Our mothers are gone, mine to dust and yours into thin air. And it's just us left standing Oh, Lilly. Can we move past the past and stand together again? Do you remember my mother getting into a certain mood, when she'd get that spacey look on her face and intone in a super-quiet voice that was scarier than a whisper, "Don't look back, girls. It might look back at you." It always freaked us out. I never knew what it was supposed to mean. Or why she'd say such a thing to us. To me. Especially when I was so young. Now that she's gone, I can't help but wonder: was it a warning? God, Lilly, everything always comes back to my mother. But I can't start that again, not now. Please write to me. It would mean so much to hear from you. Val
TO: firstname.lastname@example.com FROM: email@example.com DATE: APRIL 15, 2000 SUBJECT: I FORGOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ...
Lilly, I can't believe I didn't tell you this before. I've slowly been going through all of Mom's possessions (which has been very painful, but that's another story). Anyway, among her many things I found a gorgeous flowered hat box-filled with your Recipe Club letters to me! Remember? They date all the way back to the beginning, when we were about ten years old. They were just as I had left them-a little yellower and crunchier for age, but still organized (even in the infancy of my anal-compulsive style) in chronological order, wrapped neatly in blue and white satin ribbons. Glancing at the postmarks makes me think that a bunch may have gone AWOL. Perhaps they're in a box I haven't yet uncovered. I've been reading them, laughing and crying. I realize now that they were truly my first love letters. You, dear Lilly, were the first friend I ever loved, and who loved me back, and whom I continue to love even after all this time apart. I just had to tell you that I found them. Just like I found you. XXX V.
Dear Val, Guess what? Daddy can drive me to your house. In two weeks! I think he misses your parents as much as I miss you, and that's a lot. But Mommy won't come. She says to tell you sorry. She has a new show. Don't worry about not knowing anybody yet. You always have me.
I wish I was your sister, too. Here is the recipe for the chocolate icebox cake you love. You have to leave it in the fridge overnight. It serves ten, unless Ben gets to it, and then it only serves him! Love, Lilly
Icebox Cake
2 cups heavy cream 3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 35 chocolate wafer cookies 3 tablespoons semisweet chocolate bits
1. In a large bowl, beat heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla at medium speed until stiff peaks form.
2. On one side of 6 chocolate wafers, spread about 2 heaping teaspoons whipped cream. Place them on top of each other to make a stack. Top the stack with a plain wafer. Continue making stacks like this until all the wafers are used. Turn each stack on its side. Place stacks side by side to make a big log on a plate. Frost log with the remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle with the chocolate bits. Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight.

Believe it or not, I have almost all of the Recipe Club letters you wrote to me, too! Mine were tossed into a cardboard box that is now mildewed and falling apart (unlike your neat and tidy system ... therein lies the difference between you and me, right?!). But the main thing is that we both kept them. And that tells me something important: we were always holding onto our friendship, despite what happened.
It's funny to hear you say such reverential things about my morn, the horrific battles between my parents, etc. I don't think you ever realized how terribly embarrassed I was that they fought the way they did.
I remember one time when you slept over, and they started going at it after an endless night of boozing. You sat up in bed, with your legs hanging over the edge, and said, "Lilly, don't worry." That's it. Just those few words. You came over and kissed my forehead. I remember feeling so loved. And then, the next morning at breakfast, you never said a word about their bizarre behavior. You never made me feel weird. I knew that you understood what went on and you weren't judging any of us for it. You taught me the foundation of trust. Was I there for you that way, too? I fear I wasn't. (After all, I come from the King and Queen of Narcissists. Who's to say that I didn't inherit their talent for self-absorption?)
So, enough about me ... what do you think about me? (Just kidding....) In truth, a lot has happened to your old friend since our fight. I went on tour with my cabaret act. I had some success, especially in San Francisco. The Chronicle said I sang a stellar rendition of Harold Arlen's "Blow Ill Wind." (I will admit, it's a song made for me. Nobody does it better.) I fell in love. (And nobody does that worse.) It lasted for all of three months. Yes, she was a singer. (Does the gender thing still bother you? I hope not. I always thought you had trouble understanding my need to love both women and men. Especially in college, when I first fell in love. You were so jealous! Did you feel I was deserting our friendship?)
Fast-forward to the present: I've stopped singing and started catering. Food seems to always be my fallback. As for love, after various meaningless men and women, one day last year I met Bertram. We've been together, off and on, ever since. He restores furniture: hand caning for old chairs. And let me tell you, those hands can work wonders in other ways, too! The thing is, he's married. (I know, I know, what else is new?) Sometimes I think I suffer from a family curse on my mother's side. Always in search of the unobtainable. Always craving something around the corner, just out of sight.
Okay ... so, life goes on. Let me know how you are. Hang in there.

Lilly and Val are best friends. They are the typical pairing of friends, as one is dramatic and charismatic, while the other is her other half to include shyness and a lacking of self confidence. The two friends started a letter writing habit at a young age and decided they would call it their Recipe Club and have a recipe included with each letter they wrote to each other. The letters chronicle the happenings in the lives of each girl with a recipe that often has a name derived from that event. Such names include Good Karma Veggie Samosa and Apple and Pear Friendship Fool, with the book containing 80 recipes.
Overall, I liked the book. However, it seemed at times the characters were annoying and you wanted to tell them to stop bickering. The characters seemed more enemies than friends for most of the book and the ending didn't seem to fit well with the the overall concept of what had taken place during their lives. I think I would have liked the characters to have more depth so that the reader could have a better connection with them.

I was very disappointed with all the good ratings for this book. It reminds me of something I would have read in Junior High. It was not just the subject matter, but the predictable plot that did not grab me at all. I'm not sure why so many rated this so well. It was not for me.

This book was disappointing on many levels. First, don't read it for the recipes as they are (overwhelmingly) old ones that have been around forever. Then, I expected the "voice" of the main characters to change as they grew older (as they should have, especially in the adult e-mails) but that never happened. The family dynamics that ended up being revealed were just weird. Finally, after much conflict between the two adults the problems are miraculously resolved, without any real explanation. Bottom line: don't bother with this book unless you are stuck without anything to read!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

I love books that are set up as letters between two people. At the beginning of the novel the two women are exchanging email because on of their parents has just died. At first it seems like the two are striking back up a friendship that suffered a rift many years ago, but then the reach an impasse and call it off. Then we go back to the 1960's and 1970's and read letters between the two as children. Things get fleshed out, insight is given, and things start to make sense.
I loved the letters and the childhood feelings and insecurities that are shown, how much more dramatic an eighteen year old is than a forty year old, how much they want to find themselves and find their place and be loved and accepted by their parents. In many of the letters a recipe is exchanged. I found myself wanting to try out the recipes. I haven't as of yet, but there are a few I may. I am torn because I usually pass along books I read unless I know I want to read it again, but with all the recipes I may save this one a little longer to have the chance to try them. It may even go with my recipe books in the kitchen cabinet.
I liked Valerie more than Lilly, but could see traits of who I used to be in some of both of their actions, especially some of Lilly's. Part of her growing up and fitting in and having boyfriends, not the singing and performing parts.
The last part that brought them up to their present, or second to last part I guess, where it was actually in a regular novel format was my least favorite, I was glad when they went back to emails and letters. Some of it was tied up a bit tidier than I would have liked, but I was satisfied with the ending.

Lilly and Val have been childhood friends forever. Back when they were growing up in their teen years during the 1960's they spent their time writing one another letters and sharing a recipe. In the letters they would share whatever was going on with them at that stage whether it was their first kiss, fights between their parents, or even what their first job was going to be, they shared it all.
In the book, The Recipe Club by Andrea Israel and Nancy Garfinkel, you are taken back in time and have the opportunity to read the letters that Val and Lilly wrote to one another along with some incredible recipes that are found on virtually ever page. It's a combination of a journal and recipe book all in one. You feel like you have discovered a treasure in the words these two best friends shared and during a turbulent time, they lost contact for 26 years. However when Lilly's mom dies, she reaches out for the comfort she once shared with her best friend to see if they can recapture what they once had.
I received this amazing and unique book compliments of TLC Book Tours for my honest review and have to say it's like getting two books in one. The recipe's are amazing and so fun to try. The heartfelt letters between these two close friends shows such a love and friendship that has lasted through the years makes you feel like you know them personally. I would easily rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars. It's just what you could imagine two girls growing up would write if you could read their letters.

"The Recipe Club" is an engaging, unique novel/cookbook that celebrates the power of women's friendships. It tells the story of childhood friends, Lilly and Valerie, who each have very distinct personalities and live vastly different lives. Separated by distance, they begin exchanging intimate letters, with a recipe included that reflects the events in their lives. Both sets of parents complicate matters for the two. During their college years, an argument leads to an estrangement, which lasts for 26 years. In the end, a secret changes their lives forever.
This compelling book is a totally different type of reading experience that kept me turning the pages. The story is creatively told through the two friends' letters, drawings, e-mails, and also a narrator. This allowed me to feel and experience their lives right along with them. I learned about each girl's family and enjoyed watching their friendship evolve. There are more than 80 tantalizing recipes cleverly woven throughout the story. I truly enjoyed reading this entertaining book and look forward to trying some of the recipes. I definitely recommend it for everyone, especially fiction/cookbook lovers!

By about page 20 or 25, this book had grabbed me and wouldn't let go. At first, it seemed a simple story about old friends who had long ago lost touch and regained it at a time of sorrow for one via e-mail. But the hints were there that there was so much more to it than that. The two women (about 25 years later, after some bizarre "incident" that parted them) began to communicate again. They were careful, but glad to re-connect, yet they bickered, cautiously moved forward, bickered some more, argued, made up---all via the e-mails. Their communications began to move back and forth between these adult e-mails and old letters from their childhood and youth that both had kept and they finally re-read. The plot unfolds via the earlier letters and grows to a flourish as the end of the earlier friendship explodes. Along the way, we learn that The Recipe Club was a two-girl club they created in which they would write long letters about their thoughts and feelings and include each time a recipe. They had once gone to the same school, but ended up living far enough apart in the NYC area that long public transport rides were required to see each other. So the letters became their glue. Their families also had an odd and secret connection, and occasional get-togethers, which the girls accepted but did not understand. The girls had very different personalities and lifestyles and both admired and disdained what the other had. They learned from each other, but would never be much alike. They didn't seem natural friends, yet the connection between them was oddly very strong. When family issues came to an strange and volatile head (in their youth), one they still don't understand, they came apart, became angry and took off in their own directions. The gap of many, many years ends with the death of a parent. Then the e-mails begin and tell the story of their adult lives, their former feelings, friendship, suspicions, jealousies and pull the mystery together with a wild flourish. And another explosion and parting. It all becomes clear in the end and the mystery is solved with high drama and emotion and.....I won't spoil the end. But as this bizarre story unfolds, I could not stop reading. At every point I thought I should stop, I would decide to read one more letter or e-mail, and then another, until I had read much farther ahead. And then the book ended and I missed reading it immediately. It's a great, riveting story told engagingly and dramatically all via the letters and e-mails---a unique method that actually works far better than I had expected.Was this review helpful?

This was a very interesting book, as it is told almost entirely through the two friend's correspondence. Part One starts off the book with the two friends trying to reconnect via email after 26 years apart. Then Part Two goes back to their early friendship and the start of their Recipe Club, where they exchange recipes along with their letters. It takes us all the way up to their big argument which ends the friendship, then we come back to the present with Part Three, which takes place 2 years after Part One. It's not confusing at all, honest!
Despite being mostly restricted to letters and emails, we still get to know Val and Lilly and watch their friendship evolve as the girls get older. Both sets of parents play a large role in shaping the girls and their friendship, and I liked the extra touch of having the girl's letters go from a child's scrawl on notebook paper to more grown-up stationary as the girls get older. Same thing with the included recipes.
Parts One and Two are strictly emails and letters, but Part Three is a combination of traditional storytelling and emails. Thought the authors handled the transition very well, as I don't see how Part Three could have been told only through emails. All in all, thought they did a great job with the entire book!
Gave this book a 4/5 rating as it had a good plot, the use of emails and letters was very well executed, and the writing and characters were also well done. Also liked the recipes sprinkled throughout the book, and have earmarked a few to try. There's even a recipe index at the back, which I thought was another nice touch! I enjoyed reading this original book and look forward to reading more from these two talented ladies!

Valerie "Valpal" Rudman and Lilly "Lillypad" Stone are like close sisters who are totally opposites. They became BFFs forever when they formed the Recipe Club when they were ten years old pen pals; as each letter required a recipe be included. Lilly is a classic extrovert hoping to make it as a singer; Valerie is the centerfold of introvert studying diligently to become a doctor. Over the years they remained friends through all types of family crisis until one incident devastated their friendship.
Over a quarter of a century pass with neither communicating with the other until Val's mom dies from cancer and she sends Dear Lilly an email while Lilly's mom Katherine the Great ran away. As they near fifty, Valerie and Lilly write to one another like they used to only using email. Both are stunned with what they learn that could split them apart again.
Using email letters to tell the tale of two women and their families, The Recipe Club is a strong character driven drama. The lead duet comes alive through their correspondence and provides enough insight into the support, mostly relatives, to enhance the loving relationship between BFFs. Although gimmicky with the mouth watering aptly titled recipes leading each chapter, fans will enjoy this fine story of friendship.

This heartwarming book was so creative and fun to read. It begins as emails going back and forth through two former friends. We can tell there is some tension and you immediately want to know why. The book then flashes backwards to the childhood of these friends, through Pen Pal type letters. The letters dont tell you everything like a book does. You never are privy to what happens between each letter or when the girls are together unless they write about it to each other. With the letters they send each other recipes. Some of them are easy and quick to make and others become more complicated and experimental. You get to grow up with Lilly and Val, experience love, loss and fun. After the misunderstand separates them, the book transforms into a typical fashion, giving the reader a bit more focus into the life of the two women. It then ends full circle with emails. I found this approach so interesting.
If you are anything like me the story will engross you and you will need to clear your schedule to read this book in one sitting.

Andrea Israel and Nancy Garfinkel's new book, The Recipe Club: A Tale of Food and Friendship is the smart women's book we've been waiting for. It begins with a series of emails, letters and recipes between Val and Lilly. We learn about these two friends and the power of friendship and food to enrich and nourish us. They work through issues of trust, love, anger and betrayal. You will see yourself and at least one or more of your own friends in these two women. The book will engage you from the first page. Without realizing, I completed it straight through in one sitting. The book cover, recipes, quirky drawings- all are just lovely and inviting. I have already recommended this book to many friends - to those who relish a smart and honest book about real relationships.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Ghazal singer Tina Sani's concert was one of words and her projection of every syllable reflected her awareness of the magic and mystery of poetry
"Poetry must be soft, like the whisper in the beloved's ear," said Tina Sani. The Pakistani ghazal singer's opening recital at The Hindu Friday Review November Fest had the quality of quietness and intense feeling. With her accompanists, a nod, a smile, a lifted eyebrow, were enough to communicate and appreciate. ghazal
Sani found snatches from old favourites first, under Yaman lights — Shaam-e-firaaq, Aaj jaane ki zid na karo, Ranjish hi sahi… Without percussion, layered with two resonant harmoniums (Iqbal Hussain, Wazir Sultan) and a plaintive sarangi (Akhtar Hussain), they turned into a monologue of gliding aural images, the stress falling on the ideas expressed, not metre.
After that, Faiz was lionised for his apostolic message of "Hope and Healing" (the theme of the recital), mirrored through processes of reflection — by turns elegiac, nostalgic, rousing, idealistic, dejected — but always inspired, profound and humane, a cry for freedom from oppression in both physical and the mental spheres. Aap ki yaad aati rahi, recalled a poet with tenderness. Bahaar aayee celebrated spring as the burgeoning of new hope for the whole world. The message came through with the dynamism of dominant notes drawn from raag Durga.
Applause greeted the launch of Mujhse Pehli Si Mohabbat, declaring: "Don't ask for the love I once gave you… there are other heartaches than those of love in this world". This gave ample scope to Sani's stylistics of modulating tempo, rhythm and volume to discover the power of each word, rich with its own network of connotations.
Through the recital, she pitched the key words from simple "haaye" to imperative "naa maang" or the imploring "Meri araj suno!" to extract their full potential. The ending of each song was again, not in a flourish of music, but with the impact of the word. Nor did she depend on drummers (Abid Hussain, tabla; Aslam, dholak, additional percussion) for razzle-dazzle or racing crescendos. They faithfully and unobtrusively banked the singer's interpretations.
A change of rhythm, purana theka this time, and Sani launched Faiz' fond memories of times gone by (Kuchh hi pehle) when people had more time for each other. Here, as with every song, she contemporised the poet by relating his thoughts to her present-day existence.
Expressing her admiration for the music of the South, Sani disclosed how she has used something from M.S. Subbulakshmi in her own way. But it remained unsung.
The evening ended with Kabir for encore, after the apt couplets of Rumi in Farsi and Urdu, etched in Bhairavi, repeating the idea well known to India that the human soul is always tormented until it achieves bliss in union with the Oversoul.
What lingered in the mind was the disturbingly-titled Sheeshon ka Masiha (Messiah of Glass), rendered with the full-throated vibrancy the shattering import demanded. Jo toot gaya, woh chhoot gaya "I come from a chaotic world, We must find hope, friends to hold hands, support human bonds." Admirably, Sani kept the political import at a universal level, without aggressive slogans.
What the evening offered was not sangeet so much as shayari. No accent on melodising raag or cascading sur. No percussion medley. Moreover, what was sung did not maintain, or even try to create a pleasing flow of raga, or rhythm-strung momentum. There were abrupt pauses, breaks — not at crucial moments for special effects — but for almost every line. This process refused to allow listeners to immerse themselves in the melody, but had them thinking about context and import all the time.
The singer did say at the beginning that God's language was not of words. But Sani's language was definitely one of words, reflecting a content that she had internalised with passion.

The next SGA event will be the Spring Fling Social, which is held to welcome students back for the spring semester.
Located in Jonesville, The Potters Storehouse has conducted a food ministry for the past five years and serves 1,800-2,200 families or more than 4,000 people a month. As of the end of October the church's food ministry had served 47,699 people.
The church will hold its next distribution on Nov. 26. That distribution will be part of its "Put a Turkey on the Table at Thanksgiving" program which provides turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner for needy families.
In addition to those who come to the church's distributions, volunteers also deliver food to more than 100 clients who are shut-ins or disabled. The church also provides food to First Presbyterian Church in Union for its food ministry and assists Trinity Baptist Church with its food ministry.

Supreme Court confirms privacy rights survive in the workplace
Millions of Canadians go to work each day, turn on their computers, and wonder whether they have also shut off their privacy. Many employers seek to remove any reasonable expectation of privacy by telling employees that they should not expect any privacy when using workplace computers during company time.

Millions of Canadians go to work each day, turn on their computers, and wonder whether they have also shut off their privacy. Many employers seek to remove any reasonable expectation of privacy by telling employees that they should not expect any privacy when using workplace computers during company time.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court of Canada grappled with the question of workplace privacy and arrived a somewhat different conclusion. It ruled that the workplace environment may diminish an employee's reasonable expectation of privacy, but it does not remove the expectation altogether.
The case involved a criminal action against a high school teacher, who was provided with school-issued laptop computer that could be used for incidental personal purposes. A computer technician at the school discovered nude photographs of a female student while performing routine maintenance on the machine. The school copied the images and turned over the computer and the images to police, who later charged the man with possession of child pornography and unauthorized use of a computer.
The legal issue in the case turned on whether the police conducted a warrantless search of the computer in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guards against unreasonable search and seizure. To answer that question, the Court assessed whether the employee had a reasonable expectation of privacy.
The Court's analysis started by reaffirming that Canadians reasonably expect privacy in the information found on their personal computers. Provided the use is permitted or reasonably expected, the same is true for workplace computers, since both personal and workplace computers frequently "contain information that is meaningful, intimate, and touching on the user's biographical core."
But what if the employer has a workplace policy or established practice that warns against personal use? The Court acknowledged that such policies create a "diminished" expectation of privacy, but argued that they do not completely remove the expectation as the "nature of the information at stake exposes the likes, interests, thoughts, activities, ideas, and searches for information of the individual user." In fact, the court noted "whatever the policies state, one must consider the totality of the circumstances in order to determine whether privacy is a reasonable expectation in the particular situation."
The court also considered the fact that the laptop belonged to the school (a 2010 Supreme Court computer privacy case involved a personal computer owned by the individual). The Court found that the ownership of the computer is a relevant consideration, but it too is not determinative.
Reasonable expectation of privacy therefore depends upon the "totality of the circumstances", which presented a difficult balance in this case since there was a clear privacy interest in the information on the laptop set against school policies and ownership of the computer. Given these competing interests, the Court ruled that the reduced privacy interest was not eliminated in its entirety.
While this case involves criminal issues, and the Charter analysis will not apply to every workplace (the court even states that it will "leave for another day the finer points of an employer's right to monitor computers issued to employees"), the decision sends a strong signal that Canadians do not forfeit all their privacy rights simply by logging onto their workplace computers. The reasonable expectation of privacy for Canadian workers may be diminished on the job, but it is not extinguished. It therefore ordered that the teacher face a new trial.

Kathleen Horan, Reporter, WNYC News
Kathleen Horan is a staff reporter for New York Public Radio, covering the neighborhood beat. She also reports 'Reset', an ongoing series documenting police-community relations in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
The businesses on the Coney Island boardwalk that were asked to vacate last month say they'll be around in the new year and beyond.
The restaurants, concessions and food stands known as the Coney Island 8 have jointly hired a lawyer and public relations firm to fight their evictions. In the meantime, they're organizing a rally on January 1 to coincide with the annual Polar Bear swim. Michael Sarrell is one of the owners of the longest operating business, Ruby's Bar.
"Our goal in all of this is to remain a part of Coney Island as Ruby's has been for the past 75 years and how many businesses have also been for multiple years," Sarrell said. He said they are fighting the evictions on the grounds that the landlord did not act in good faith and gave the tenants reason to believe they could stay to be a part of the new Coney Island.
A spokesperson for leaseholder, Central Amusement International, said it looks forward to improving spaces formerly occupied by tenants such as Ruby's. And that it is part of a plan that includes investing millions in updating the area.
The eviction proceedings could take months. CAI would not say if new tenants could be moved in by the opening of the amusement park in May.

Army officers and Taliban militants hugged and congratulated each other after inking the deal.
ISLAMABAD: Having failed to counter the insurgent Talibans in the Waziristan tribal region on the Pak Afghan border, the Pakistan Army Tuesday entered into yet another peace agreement with the pro-Taliban militants, primarily "to ensure a permanent peace in the area and to put an end to the continuing unrest in the Waziristan region."
The agreement was signed after a meeting between a group of the local Taliban leaders and a jirga formed by the Pakistani military authorities to mediate on their behalf. According to the official sources, senior army officers and Taliban militants hugged and congratulated each other after inking the agreement at a school in Miran Shah.
The breakthrough was achieved after the military accepted most of the militants' demands — the release of all their men, return of their weapons and vehicles seized during various army operations, dismantling of the army check posts in the area, restoration of all perks and privileges of the tribal people and monetary compensation for all those residents of the area who were either killed and whose property was damaged during military operations.
The amount demanded by the militants as compensation is not known but a government official said the figure was enormous. The military authorities have further agreed to the withdrawal of the security forces from the checkpoints to its fortes in North Waziristan; releasing the arrested Taliban militants and returning the weapons seized during military operations.
In exchange for accepting their demands, the Taliban militants have accepted the military's demand to immediately cease terrorist attacks on the civil and military installations in the area. The militants have further given an assurance to the army that they would neither use the Pak-Afghan border to launch cross border attacks into the Afghan territory nor allow anyone else to do so.
Moreover, in a major concession, the military has allowed all foreign militants in Waziristan, including the Most Wanted ones, either to leave the area or to keep living there after furnishing tribal guarantees of good conduct.
Despite the deployment of over 80,000 Pakistani troops along the Afghan border in the tribal areas to capture the fugitive Taliban and Al Qaeda elements, the situation is far from stable in a region that is crucial to three world capitals — Islamabad, Washington and Kabul. Waziristan, often in the news due to frequent clashes between Pakistani security forces and the Taliban militants, is now more-or-less controlled by the local Taliban, which has established a foothold in both North and South Waziristan and has opened recruiting offices these areas to hire new fighters.
The peace agreement has been signed at a time when the Waziristan tribal areas bordering Afghanistan's volatile southern and southwestern provinces are once again the focus of the war on terror and are likely to soon become as significant to the US as Afghanistan itself. The Americans are already pointing directly at the North and the South Waziristans as the primary conduit for the suicide bombers who are playing havoc with the US and NATO-led war machine in Afghanistan, and a safe haven for enemy combatants.

The deadlock over pay hike in Toyota's Bidadi plant continues and it's not clear when the plant will be reopened.
The company had declared a lockout on Sunday and employees are now demanding government intervention.
On Monday, there were about 200 policemen manning the facility at Bidadi, about 30 km from Bangalore. The employees' union was planning to meet the Karnataka chief minister. The impasse has reached its tenth month now. "We have demanded a hike of Rs 4,000 per month for Grade 8 employees. However, the management is ready to give only Rs 3,050, which is not acceptable," Prasanna Chakkeri, president, Toyota Kirloskar Motors Employees' Union, said.
There are about 6,000 Grade 8 employees at the plant. Initially, they had demanded a hike of Rs 8,000 per month. After negotiations, they brought it down to Rs 4,000. The union also claims that Toyota had violated many labour laws. For instance, the number of contract employees outnumber permanent employees, which is a "threat to those who have been working there for years now". "According to labour laws, permanent employees should be more than temporary ones," says Gangadhar MN, one of the protesting employees.
There are about 6,000 permanent employees in the company, compared with 14,000 contract labourers.
So far, about 48 meetings have been held between the labour union and management over the wage hike. "They keep saying the same stuff. How long can you keep meeting them for talks? If nothing materialises, I guess we have to give in, considering we have to feed our families as well," said one of the employees.
India accounted for just 1.6% of Toyota's global sales last year. TKM has been assembling cars like the Fortuner and Innova at Bidadi since 1997, and the Toyota Etios and Corolla Altis since 2010.
The lockout comes just a week after Toyota gave Japanese workers their biggest pay increase in 21 years.
According to Shekar Viswanathan, vice chairman & whole-time director, TKM, the lockout decision had to be taken in view of the threat to life on employees. "The union's demand is sky-high. We have explained we cannot increase wages beyond a certain limit," says Viswanathan.
The two plants in Bidadi have an annual capacity of 310,000 units per year. "We have a workforce strength geared up to produce 310,000 units per year and we have not laid off a single employee. So we have to mute our wage increases."
Additional labour commissioner Chikkalappa said the employees union and the government will try to resolve the dispute through negotiations. "If it doesn't work out, the government will take suitable action," he said.
Meanwhile though the lockout continues, Grade 7 employees will be reporting to work from Tuesday.

Calgary Tanks at Dieppe.
The Commanding Officer of the 2nd Canadian Division was as optimistic as the planners of "Operation Jubilee," a "reconnaissance in force" to Dieppe on the French coast. On the flanks, the Royal Regiment of Canada and the Black Watch would land at Puys and hook inland, while the South Saskatchewans and Cameron Highlanders took Pourville and moved on to Arques-la-Bataille where the local German headquarters was believed to be located. British commandos under Lord Lovat would attack coastal batteries at Berneval and Vasterival.
The main attack, supported by tanks, fighter-bombers and naval gunfire would be launched against the town of Dieppe itself. The Essex Scottish and Royal Hamilton Light Infantry with Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal in reserve and a handful of American Rangers would land along a three-quarter of a mile arc of beach code-named Red and White beaches between the harbour mole and a point just beyond the Casino, a large, isolated building on the municipal promenade behind a low seawall. They would seize and hold the town until sunset, destroy the defences, take prisoners and be safely on their way home on the evening tide.
The crews of the Calgary Tanks, after months of training in the English countryside and on the Isle of Wight, were also optimistic, having been informed that "intelligence reports indicate that Dieppe is not heavily defended and that the beaches in the vicinity are suitable for landing infantry and Armoured Fighting Vehicles." As almost every Canadian knows, Dieppe was a disaster and the infantry regiments were butchered on the beaches. But the Calgary story -- the first amphibious landing of the war involving tanks -- is too often forgotten, or told in passing as a footnote to the battle.
They were equipped with factory-new waterproofed Churchill Mark III tanks with extended intakes and exhausts carrying a crew of five, a six-pounder and Besa machine-guns; tanks that the military historian Correlli Barnett would later condemn as "mechanical abortions that foreshadowed the disastrous car models launched into world markets by the British automobile industry in the postwar era." Built by Vauxhall Motors, the heavily-armoured 40-ton Churchill had been developed in six months but would require another two years to correct design flaws. But on the morning of 19 August 1942, the Churchill's shortcomings were the least of the problems facing the crews.
Landing 15 minutes late due to a navigational error, the tanks were unable to provide close support for the infantry attack already faltering under murderous machine-gun, mortar and artillery fire from the town and gun emplacements on the headlands looming over the beach. Tank commanders had been told to expect a gentle slope made up of soft shale or pebbles "which may be expected to provide a good grip for tracked vehicles." Instead, they were confronted with a one-in-four gradient of slippery iron-hard chert many metres in depth which wreaked havoc with their tank treads. The first nine tanks to land lost their tracks or bogged down. As an after-action German report put it, "the shifting shingle on the beach proved a perfect obstacle, into which the tanks sank easily."
Standing on the turret of "Bellicose" as his landing craft touched down, Lieutenant Ed Bennett saw a group of wounded men on the beach directly in front of him. "They were all gathered in a circle as though they were trying to help each other," he recalled. "And then like a film break a shell landed among them and when the flash disappeared, so had they ... I would have to say that at that point I felt sheer terror." Seconds later, an explosion knocked him to the deck, burning his face and injuring his right eye. Struggling to his feet, he climbed into his tank and started down the ramp followed by "Beefy" and "Bloody."
The beach was shrouded in smoke obscuring landmarks and littered with dead and wounded and tanks with tracks thrown or shot away, bogies and sprockets jammed with rocks. Bennett and his troop started along the shoreline and made it over the seawall onto the promenade, Le Boulevard de Marechal Foch, in front of the hotly-contested Casino. They were unable to break through into the town as the Germans had blocked every street leading from the beach with immense concrete barriers. Engineers and sappers wading ashore with gelignite and detonators to blow the obstacles were cut down on the beach, many of them incinerated as their packs exploded. Holding his swollen eye open with his fingers, Bennett swung his tank around and directed round after round into the Casino and surrounding strong-points.
"Company," "Calgary," and "Chief" landed in good order and opened fire on pillboxes and dug-in tanks. They scored several hits before bogging down. "Cougar," "Cheetah" and "Cat" stalled on the ramp of their landing craft after the crews failed to warm up the engines. Once clear, the leading tank lay down a chespaling track to help the others gain traction. They made it across the beach and over a low point in the seawall.
Sergeant J.W. Marsh of the Black Watch, who was sheltering behind the wall, saw "Cougar" take several hits. "But it kept going," he said. "It went through the wire, but much to my surprise the wire seemed to spring back into place after the weight of the tank passed over it." After coming under fire from a captured French tank cemented into the harbour mole, it returned fire and scored a direct hit knocking the turret askew. "Cheetah" and "Cat" headed for an enemy pillbox slightly to their left. The German defenders ran and were promptly gunned down by the Essex Scottish.
An LCT carrying Churchills with special flame-throwing equipment came under heavy fire just east of the Casino, killing the captain and gun crews and wrecking the wheelhouse. It swung round in the tide and beached broadside. Arms and stores were taken ashore by forming a chain of men in the water. Lieutenant Jerry Wood watched the tanks lurch toward the seawall streaming sparks from shells hitting the turrets, then struggled back aboard after being hit in the shoulder. Mortar bombs crashed into the hold. "What I saw made my head spin," he recalled. "What I looked at was quite as fantastic as the Confederate hospital scene in "Gone With the Wind." The medics moved unobtrusively about their work in the worst mess you could imagine." An LCT coming in alongside was hit while unloading ammunition and was aflame from stem to stern with gasoline cans blowing up at intervals; it drifted away from the beach and sank. Only one landing craft in the second wave survived.
LCol J.C. Andrews, the Calgary's Commanding Officer, landed with the third wave. Moments before touchdown, a shell brought his landing craft's ramp crashing down 20 yards from shore. Thinking the boat had beached, he drove off and drowned his tank in deep water. The crew baled out safely and swam to shore but Andrews was killed at water's edge as he struggled through the surf. His commander's pennant continued to flutter from the radio mast of his submerged tank throughout the battle.
Major Gordon Rolfe, the Signals Officer, was towed ashore in a scout car by a tank. When the tank came under heavy fire and suddenly reversed at an anti-tank ditch, it rolled over his car crushing the front end and partially burying the rest. The radios were unharmed and, digging in behind the wreck, Rolfe and a corporal raised their aerials and set up the only communication link between the beach and General Roberts aboard the Calpe.
Of the 30 tanks which were run in, 27 made it ashore. Seven scout cars, including the Medical Officer's "Blitz Buggy," were destroyed on the beach. The seawall posed no major problem as 15 tanks made it up on to the promenade. Dick Clark aboard "Bolster" remembered having "no trouble at all when we got off the landing craft and we went right up to the Casino, although we had no idea we were going to land on a beach with stones the size of baseballs. There were several of us waiting for the order to advance into the town itself. We were just going around in bloody circles, using up our ammo, using up our gas, being shelled, rolling over people."
Ordered back to the beach in the early afternoon, with fire bouncing off them "like hail on a roof," the tanks fought on providing cover for the men pinned down behind the seawall. Lieutenant Jack Dunlap, the commander of "Bill," received a call from Rolfe to lay down smoke to screen the boats coming in to evacuate the troops. "Because my three tanks were a part of the rear-guard that day," he said, "I think my crews knew that the chances of leaving the beach were minimal." Rolfe sent his last signal shortly after 1 p.m. then set signal books and codes afire and blew up the remains of his scout car with a grenade.
Ammunition gone, immobilized, yet safe from small-arms fire and the ineffective German 37mm anti-tanks guns, the crews of several tanks settled down with mugs of tea and waited for the end. Dunlap recalls the final moments in the carnage that was Red Beach:
"When no more boats were seen to be coming in, the gunfire dropped off and became desultory. The whole beach and shoreline were a shambles of broken bodies, beached boats and derelict tanks. We observed troops surrendering west of our position, a movement that gradually swept down the beach toward us. Further resistance seemed futile. As the German troops appeared in our sector, we climbed out of the tank, raised our hands in the traditional manner and gave up."
Ten minutes later, General Roberts sent a terse message to Headquarters, 1st Canadian Corps: "Very heavy casualties in men and ships. Did everything possible to get men off but in order to get any home had to come to sad decision to abandon remainder."
Of the nearly 5,000 men who went ashore that morning, 902 were killed, over a thousand wounded, and 1,900 taken prisoner. Trooper George Volk, a hull-gunner, was the only Calgary to make it back.
In London, the poet Joyce Rowe wrote:
"And news again of men and planes and ships.
But I already know and feel my lips grow cold,
And my heart a hot, hard ball wedged in my throat.
I knew they could not all come back."
And every August, until he died, Ham Roberts would receive a piece of cake in the mail. An anniversary gift from an anonymous and embittered survivor.

Miami is a convention town, the junket heaven of the Southeast. Essentially identity-less, well put on whatever mask your industry requires. Porn? No problem. Electronic music? Easy. Boating? Challenge us, please. Weve also somehow become the art fair capital of the world, with more little tent shows congregating beneath the dragons wing of Art Basel Miami Beach than either New Yorks Armory Show or Switzerlands original Basel.
So now that MoCA assistant curator Ruba Katrib has put together a four-month exhibition examining the culture of conventions, it seems so obvious. Why didnt we think of that? (In our defense, we were probably distracted by all the electronic music we were listening to while sailing to our porn shoot.)
This Wednesday is your first chance to experience Katribs vision, and though we dont want to spoil too much, lets just say it involves an open dance floor, high jinks by artists Bert Rodriguez and Dave McKenzie, and a Coral Gables couples living room relocated courtesy of artist Fritz Heag.
The Opening reception for Convention begins at 7 p.m. at MoCA.

A hiker, gardener and yoga enthusiast, Mr. McKain was also a globe-trotter, traveling to Europe, Russia, China, Japan, Fiji and New Zealand, among other countries. In addition to English, he spoke Spanish, German, French, Italian and Japanese.
But basketball was his passion. He played in up to four leagues a week and was on the San Diego team in the 2002 Gay Games in Sydney, Australia.
"He was a great Stanford fan and a longtime season-ticket holder for San Diego State University's women's basketball," Dilno said. "He was not the greatest basketball player, but he was a terrific fan."
Mr. McKain is survived by his husband, Robert McWilliams of Ocean Beach, whom he legally married in June 2008 after more than 30 years together. He is also survived by his sister Charlyne McKain of Ocean Beach.
A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. May 11 at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego in Hillcrest. The family suggests donations to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Not sure =[ sorry, but maybe your doctor would be able to help? They can tell a lot at that second trimester ultrasound that takes like 45 min, maybe you'll know more after that. Will keep you and your baby in my prayers!
I took it also and its a category C medicine and they told me there is nothing to worry about.
I was on 1800mgs and I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was 8 weeks. There was no concern. They actually considered keeping me on it but I didn't want too. So please don't worry momma's :) I hope that makes you feel better!
I am 16 weeks & I'm waiting on my quad test to come back, yes please pray I am so scared! Like I said, I quit taking it as soon as I found out but sb starts at 4 weeks & I didn't find out til like 5 weeks
Thank you both! You really made me feel better! :) <3
Thank you <3
I'll pray for you also <3

The 'Elektor Electronic Toolbox' (EET) is an iPhone and iPad app totally geared the needs of electronic engineers. Elektor now offers a new version, which now has 29 individual programs. A new addition is a tool for voltage rms calculation. In addition some bugs were cleared and new components added such as USB 3.0 connectors.
EET's established features are impressive, too: the databases for the component groups identified as bipolar transistors, FETs, triacs, thyristors, diodes and ICs are very helpful in everyday electronics developing. The left part of the display allows you to select a component from a list, based on the type number. For this, simply scroll down with your finger, which is a smooth process on an iPad. A tap with your fingertip and the pin and important electrical characteristics pop up on the right hand side of the screen – all without an Internet connection present. A total of over 45,000 components are listed in the databases. [via]

Seeed Studio launched an iPhone hardware development board call the Hijack development pack: [via]
Do we have any iPhone users here? What were you thinking when Google released ADK for Android devices? You probably want to have an equal chance to play your mobile devices with open source hardware as we did. The idea of connecting iPhone with those existing open source components is great and more importantly is achievable now with our Hijack Development Pack!
Here is a clue that what the main board of Hijack looks like. It's a little tiny thing with cubic-inch size so that you can carry it to anywhere you like. But the project itself is a fully functional hardware/software platform for creating sensor peripherals for the mobile devices. The Hijack platform enables a new class of small and cheap phone-centric sensor peripherals that support plug-and-play operation. As we said, Hijack has been tested with the iPhone 3G/3GS/4, iPod Touch, and iPad devices.

From mall ice rink to Winter Olympics: PH's Martinez proud of achievement
More News from Celest R. Flores
MANILA, Philippines— To have proved that someone from a country where winter is nothing but an idea is an achievement in itself for the Philippines' lone representative to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
Michael Christian Martinez, the 17-year-old from Muntinlupa City, defied the odds to be the first-ever figure skater to carry the Philippine flag in the Winter Games.
He's also the first representative of the sport from Southeast Asia, a region where there is only two seasons: rainy and dry.
"I feel proud because there are a lot of people that say that because we're a tropical country; we can't do this or we can't do that," Martinez told NBCOlympics.com in an interview.
"But what I say to them is that I'll be the first one to skate in the Olympics. I'm proud of that."
Martinez' dreams of making it to the biggest sporting stage in the world, in fact, started in a mere recreational skating rink in a shopping mall in the often-humid Manila.
"I saw skaters doing jumps and spins on the rink at the mall. After the first time I tried it I loved the sport already," he shared in the same interview.
But that small—not even Olympic sized—rink, which was located beside the busy foodcourt area of the mall, proved to be enough to cultivate Martinez' gem of a talent. He eventually got better training in the United States starting in 2010.
Martinez, bucking asthma and a surplus of injuries, then started reaping the rewards of his patience and hard work and was eventually gifted a slot in the prestigious Winter Games.
"It feels great that I'm here representing the Philippines at the Olympics," Martinez said.
"There is a lot of pressure on me because not only am I skating for my country, but for all the hard work I've put in the last four years."

Rdio brings you another exciting and exclusive live recording from our Rdio Sessions series, this time from enigmatic English indie rockers The 1975.
Recorded in Sydney earlier this year, the band laid down three alluring acoustic performances of tracks from their stunning self-titled debut album - the lust, intoxication and unabashed gritty modern youth-laden 'The 1975'.
Critics have long been bemused and thrlled by the Manchester four-piece and their amorphous drifts between brooding alt-rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B and 80's gloss pop. "I Don't think it's confusing," says lead singer Matty Healy, "Feeling a lack of identity and the searching within oneself to acquire a real understanding of what you want to be, that's something that loads of people can connect with. It's so strange that with music people want so many rules."
The band strip things right back with this Rdio Session, the acoustic renditions really showcasing the heart and soul of their tracks 'Chocolate', 'Sex' and 'Is There Somebody Who Can Watch Over You' as well as Matty's street-smart yet vunerable vocals.
We've got even more installments of Rdio Sessions on the way for your ears; in the meantime, listen to our Rdio Sessions Station to hear more recordings from this exclusive live series.

This is an eTextbook Learn More
Higher category theory is generally regarded as technical and forbidding, but part of it is considerably more tractable: the theory of infinity-categories, higher categories in which all higher morphisms are assumed to be invertible. In Higher Topos Theory, Jacob Lurie presents the foundations of this theory, using the language of weak Kan complexes introduced by Boardman and Vogt, and shows how existing theorems in algebraic topology can be reformulated and generalized in the theory's new language. The result is a powerful theory with applications in many areas of mathematics.
The book's first five chapters give an exposition of the theory of infinity-categories that emphasizes their role as a generalization of ordinary categories. Many of the fundamental ideas from classical category theory are generalized to the infinity-categorical setting, such as limits and colimits, adjoint functors, ind-objects and pro-objects, locally accessible and presentable categories, Grothendieck fibrations, presheaves, and Yoneda's lemma. A sixth chapter presents an infinity-categorical version of the theory of Grothendieck topoi, introducing the notion of an infinity-topos, an infinity-category that resembles the infinity-category of topological spaces in the sense that it satisfies certain axioms that codify some of the basic principles of algebraic topology. A seventh and final chapter presents applications that illustrate connections between the theory of higher topoi and ideas from classical topology.

The iconostasis project for St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Indianapolis, IN was installed on May 9, 2014 just in time for the consecration of the Church on May 11, 2014. This project was designed and hand carved in White Oak by Konstantinos Papadakis. When the installation was complete, the gap between the edge of the iconostasis and the columns on either side was 1/8", a testament to the precision of Konstantinos' work.
In this photo, we see Konstantinos Papadakis (right) with his apprentice Paul Sirba.
This beautiful console table was hand carved and built out of rare and exotic Brazilian Rosewood. This is truly a one-of-a-kind work of art. The photos were taken upon completion in the workshop at Artistic Woodcarving Studio.
In September, 2013, the new iconostasis was installed at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Tulsa, OK. The local news station did a short piece on this project, and a half-page article appeared called "Celebrating Traditions" appeared in the Tulsa World newspaper.
In addition, Konstantinos received a beautiful thank you card from a parishioner at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.
Dear Mr. Papadakis,
I am a parishioner at Holy Trinity in Tulsa OK and I just wanted to write and thank you for the beautiful and holy work you did in carving our iconostasion. It is such an amazing work and inspires me so spiritually. It is very apparent that this is your ministry and not just a job. May God continue to bless you and your work.
These icon stands were delivered to the Holy Anagyroi Greek Orthodox Church in Rochester, MN.
This ceremonial, or service table was delivered to St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church. Each face of the table depicts an image appropriate to the services being conducted.
Here are some images of a recently completed project of a Bishop's Throne. From an article posted on the website of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (goarch.org),
On the right-hand side of the nave is the bishop's throne from which he presides as a living icon of Christ among his people. Even in the bishop's absence, the throne reminds all that the parish is not an isolated entity but is part of a diocese which the bishop heads.
I have worked with a wonderful painter and iconographer for many years by the name of Panaiotis Mihaloupoulos. Here are some images of the work he has done for projects we've worked on together. All of his work, like the work of Konstantinos is done by hand.
Here is an image from blueprints from another iconostasis project at St. George Orthodox Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. This project will be carved in the Criticoeptanisiaco style. There are only five Churches in the world, known to be carved in this style. This will be the second Church in the United States carved in this style, and both projects will have been carved by Konstantinos Papadakis.
Here are some hand drawn blueprints for my new project, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Tulsa Oklahoma. The symbols in the panels on this project are taken from our rich Orthodox tradition. This project began in August, 2012 and is scheduled to be completed in August of 2013. The dimensions of this project are 38.5 feet long, and 15.3 feet high. The wood used in this project is American Black Walnut. The design details of these carvings are Papadakis originals.
