Review: My Secret HistoryUser Review - Goodreads
I enjoyed reading about the secret sexual exploits of, pretty obviously, Paul Theroux, thinly disguised as Andrew Parent. The more I read by this author, the more I like him. It took a lot of guts to reveal all this stuff! I couldn't do it! (not yet, anyway). Very well written, a page turner. Read full review

Mark Sanchez needs to make some major changes if he wants to remain a starting quarterback -- or any kind of quarterback -- in the NFL. Fortunately for the much maligned signal-caller, he doesn't have a choice.Sanchez, coming off his fourth and worst year, will be working with his third offensive coordinator in three years in 2013. If three isn't a charm, it could be the end. "He's got to be popping out of his skin," Jets coach Rex Ryan said Thursday, via the NY Daily News. "... You have a combination of (offensive coordinator) Marty Mornhinweg and (quarterbacks coach) David Lee as coaches. That's a heck of a start. So I believe Mark needs to erase his hard drive."Sanchez could be in for a training camp battle with a free agent acquisition or a rookie and already has the ball rolling, getting in contact with former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia to pick his brain on Mornhinweg's West Coast offensive system. Garcia worked under Mornhinweg during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles and...

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland makes too much
thyroid hormone. Excess thyroid hormone can cause symptoms such as tiredness,
weight loss, increased heart rate, heat intolerance, sweating, irritability,
anxiety, muscle weakness, and thyroid enlargement.
An autoimmune disorder called Graves' disease is the most common
cause of hyperthyroidism. Other causes include growths in the thyroid gland
(thyroid nodules), inflammation of the thyroid gland (thyroiditis), and taking
too much thyroid replacement hormone to treat an underactive thyroid
Hyperthyroidism can be treated with medicine, radioactive iodine,
or with surgery. In most cases, treatment brings thyroid function back to
normal or causes hypothyroidism (having too little thyroid hormone). But lifelong follow-up with a doctor is needed to
closely monitor thyroid hormone levels.

Often the first signs of

Trimming Clips
Most of your editing work will come down to trimming the lengths of the video clips you select. In other words, you've found the clip you want to use, but the timing's off. You'd like to isolate just that portion you want to use in your movie.
iMovie lets us make trims in several different ways. Here are two methods you'll find most useful:
Split allows you to slice any clip into 2 distinct pieces. Think of this as snipping your footage with a pair of scissors. When you're done you'll have 2 new clips.
Tip: You can Split the automatic clips iMovie created when you imported your footage. Then you'll have smaller increments that make more sense to you.
Crop lets you snip off portions at the beginning and end of a clip simultaneously. Use this tool to redefine where your clip begins and ends (i.e. in and outpoints).
In The Purple Way, we used Crop to isolate the useable portions of each take. We could snip off the head of a clip (the actors getting into position) and the tail of the clip (the director calling "cut").
The ends you snip off will once again go straight to iMovie's Trash.

Weights and measures: City's eye on accuracy was a target for cut
Pump a gallon of gas into your car.
Since you can't see it, how do you know you really got a gallon?
Tracy Harwell and Richard Lewis know. And if they left one of their black-and-white stickers on the pump, you can be assured that the gallon you pumped was really a gallon.
Harwell and Lewis are inspectors with the Memphis weights and measures department. They are two of five city inspectors who check the accuracy of gas pumps, grocery store scales, taxi meters and more.
If their inspections check out, then the device gets that approval seal from the city. If they don't, the business has to shut down the pump, cab or scale, get it fixed and reinspected before it is again ready for service.
The program became a major target for Memphis City Council members looking to cut the city's budget last month — added and cut from different proposals more than a half-dozen times in the hours-long final budget discussion.
Critics said the program is expensive and its work is a duplication of what the state already does in Memphis. Some supporters said weights and measures adds another level of accuracy and protection for Memphis consumers, while others were opposed to laying off any city employees.
The eight-person weights and measures department comes with a price tag of about $500,000 for Memphis taxpayers each year, a figure that equates to about a half of a cent on the city's new $3.40 tax rate.
The state-level weights and measures department checks all of the same pumps and scales (but not taxi meters) as the Memphis group, but those checks are more random and less frequent. The local unit is a finer-toothed comb and finds about a 17 percent failure rate in the equipment it inspects, said Memphis General Services director Martha Lott.
The Memphis department is the only city-sponsored weights and measures program in a region that includes Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Florida and Georgia.
"We have a government that is not sustainable," council member Shea Flinn said last month in his plea to cut the program. "This is a singular service, and we're the only people that provide it. We can't afford to do it any longer, and it's just that simple."
But there was more to it. Retailers and gas stations had lobbied council members before the budget meeting to get rid of the program, according to Kroger spokesman Joe Bell, as the department considered raising the fees for those black-and-white approval seals to pay for its operation.
Bell said the local weights and measures department makes it tougher to do business in Memphis than in the rest of the state or in many other states. The fees for the department's certification are passed on to consumers, he said, plus its efforts are duplicated by the state and the industry polices itself.
"Think of the publicity if Kroger is found in a store to be short-weighting every piece of meat it sells," Bell said. "That would just be fodder for (the media) to rip our heads off, to be honest with you."
Terence McBride, who manages the city's weights and measures program, said he sees his job as a protector for consumers and an educator of the businesses he deals with — not a heavy-handed enforcer. As the Southern region representative on the board of the National Conference on Weights and Measures, he said his small group is a vanguard in the industry, pointing to new technology and training as evidence.
"I tell people that's the beauty of weights and measures department locally," McBride said. "My staff are there for consumers, and they are consumers themselves. So, they are in the field checking 24-7."
It's a level of service McBride said you won't get from "someone who doesn't live here, not checking like they should be checking." But McBride also calls the unit the "best kept secret" in city government.
Council member Janis Fullilove admitted publicly she didn't know anything about the department or what they do during last month's budget talks, Her support for the unit was pinned to deeper conviction to pass a budget without laying off one person from city government.
But council member Bill Boyd once ran the weights and measures department and fought to keep the group going in those budget talks last month, even offering up the revenue generated from his new program to collect on traffic tickets to fund it.
"This city desperately needs some positive things going for it, and the reason you don't hear about (reports of price gouging and other problems) is because these inspectors are doing their jobs," Boyd said, a statement met with applause from the audience. "It's quiet, but that's a good thing."
Weights and measures was funded in the council's 2014 budget, and the department scrapped the plan to raise the fees for the approval stickers for businesses.
So, on Wednesday morning, inspectors Tracy Harwell and Richard Lewis on duty at a gas station at the corner of Park and Highland, making sure that a gallon of gas in Memphis was really a gallon of gas.

"That was a big shocker to me when the TCGA and International Cancer Genome consortiums started comparing the algorithms used by different institutions," Stuart said. "You'd think we'd know which one to install, but there are more than a dozen of them and they all came up with different answers. Only in the last year have we sorted that out, and David Haussler has created a unified effort to identify mutations for TCGA."
The mutation data, together with information on gene locations, then feeds into higher-level analyses. Stuart's lab, for example, uses this information to identify the genetic pathways affected by a patient's mutations. Using knowledge about how genes work in groups by signaling and regulating each other, he is able to find connections between different mutations that affect the same pathways. In previous work on TCGA data, results from Stuart's pathway analysis proved to be better predictors of overall survival in glioblastoma patients than a lower level of genomic analysis, and pathway signatures also revealed novel connections between mutations and drug response in breast cancers.
As with the mutation-finding algorithms, higher-level analyses are likely to differ among research groups. To find out who has the best algorithm for any particular type of analysis, they have to be compared side by side in blinded competitions. For the BMEG project, Stuart has teamed up with Adam Margolin of Sage Bionetworks, a nonprofit bioinformatics company, to run a series of such competitions.
"We've done this before, and it will be fun. We'll run competitions and then hold a conference at the end to go over the results," Stuart said. "To participate, people will give us their code and we'll run it on a test dataset. That's how we'll bui

Article By ViN86 - January 1, 2010
GAME PERFORMANCE AT 1280x1024
Both graphics cards were benchmarked using the aforementioned games. Although I didn't expect the GeForce GT 240 to outperform the GeForce 9800 GT, it was interesting to compare the results and see how well the GeForce GT 240 matches up to the GeForce 9800 GT.
The first tests were run at the modest resolution of 1280x1024. All games were configured to their highest quality in-game settings with no antialiasing and no anisotropic filtering. HAWX benchmarks were run with DirectX 10.1 enabled on the GeForce GT 240. The GeForce 9800 GT was set to DirectX 10, since it is not DirectX 10.1 capable.
The benchmark results are shown below. While the GeForce 9800 GT outperformed the GeForce GT 240 in all tests, the GeForce GT 240 held its own quite well. All of the games, with the exception of Tom Clancy's HAWX, are close to or above the target 60 frames per second (FPS) that gamers desire.
The GeForce GT 240 put up decent results running under DirectX 10.1 in Tom Clancy's HAWX. For gamers still running on LCD's at the 1280x1024 resolution, the GeForce GT 240 handles them easily at high settings.

Looking at that, I think I can see tiny side-shoots just appearing: if you look at the back edge of the pot and then just above it, you can see that there's a big leaf going our to the right, and then between it and the main stem, a tiny sprouting shoot, and the same at the next joint up. These are (unless the camera deceives me) new sideshoots and should be pinched out. That is where you find the side shoots, at a leaf joint between the leaf and the stem. They come back sometimes and you have to keep doing it.
Having said that ... my daughter has an allotment and grows Gardener's Delight, which is an upright and should have the sideshoots removed. She was too busy/careless to bother (and went on hol in August), and she still had a terrific crop of tomatoes. The old boys on the allotment were critical at first, and then quite envious of her success, as she had far more tomatoes than anyone else! So it's not that crucial.
Miracle Gro is a "balanced" fertiliser and won't do any harm - it will have fed the roots, leaves and shoots. At the worst it might leave the plants low in magnesium, which would discolour the leaves, and it may have made them a bit leggy. But they'll be fine, I'm sure. Eventually you should get yourself some tomato feed, which will have the right balance of nutrients (high in potassium to help fruiting, and probably with magnesium too), and start administering that when the first tiny fruits start to form.
I had some old hanging basket frames that I got in a car boot sale, and last year I covered them with fleece or with that thin polystyrene sheeting they use in packaging, using a stapler. In fact I am going to reassemble them soon, to put over my courgettes and cues when they go out.
Some herbs like it hot and dry, but parsley does better in shade and damp.
Some time ago I posted a question asking whether secateurs should be stored with the blades open or locked shut. Opinions varied and there was no real consensus that I can remember.
I can now report that I have come to a conclusion. Unless you are a very careful and organised person, keep them closed! Otherwise you might do what I did today: I had the secateurs lying in my tool caddy, with the blades open. I reached into the caddy to find some item lying at the bottom and - you know what' s coming - my finger caught the sharpest part of my Felcos, which sliced into my right-hand index finger.
I am typing this without my index finger, which is now bandaged up. And from now on I will close the secateurs when I put them away!
Thanks for that, chicky. I have brought them into the summer house where, even with the door propped open, it's warmer than outside it. The air is still quite cool and I think a bit more shelter will help. If they're not flowering in another week or so I'll bring them into the house, but I don't want to soften them up (or whatever the opposite of "hardening off" is)
At the end of May (4 weeks today!) our daughter is getting married and I have undertaken to provide baskets of lobelia for table flowers. I bought bedding plants some weeks ago, which are now planted up in pots (3 plants per 6-inch pot). They're sitting in a sheltered corner of the garden; the plants look healthy and some are showing signs of flower buds. They had a feed of liquid seaweed a couple of weeks ago when I potted them up, and I did a little pinching-out of tips.
My question is this: how likely is it that these will be in full flower in four weeks? I find myself worrying that they will flower too early and be over, or too late and not be ready in time. I could bring them indoors to hurry them on, but if they start to flower, should I cut off any blooms until a week or two before?
Of course there is a fall-back plan - if they're not right, I shall go to a GC and buy whatever plants look bright and healthy (and blue!). But I'd welcome any tips on how to get these lobelia to be at their best by the very end of May.
Well, Bf206, you should think yourself lucky that May has started at all - it's still April here in the south-west!
Yes, last year mine were tiny at this stage, and even when I planted them out late in May they were very small, frail and discoloured. But once the summer sun came, they did very well - and with almost no blight last year either.
White patches can also result from sun scorch in a green house - check that there aren't any hot spots close to the glass.
The purplish colour may be due to cold, but if it persists, it may be a shortage of magnusium, which can be added in a liquid feed or by spraying a solution of Epsom salts on the leaves.
I don't think either sympton sounds like a virus.
Our quince tree has leaves, and the flowers are now in bud but not full blossom - this is in Devon, in quite a mild spot. We had a good crop of fruit last year, although most of the blossom doesn't set to fruit.

I think you do have some shots that are great. But i would like you to calm down on the fx since it makes me feel like you are trying to save the image from mediocrisy. I dont mean to sound harsch and antiinstagram. But i do find some of the images a little bit to saturated and the fx are a bit distracting.

Originally written on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 4/18/13
Arguably the most beloved Louisville Cardinal of all time will be making a public appearance this weekend. Gorgui Dieng will be have a meet & greet autograph signing on Saturday at Prime Lounge in downtown Louisville at 101 W. Main Street. You can purchase pre-sale tickets to secure your spot in line before the general public. I think we all pretty much knew that Gorgui wouldn't be back next season, but this event is proof. Because he will be making money for selling his autograph that automatically means that Dieng is no longer eligible as an amateur athlete. I'm still having trouble processing that Gorgs won't player for Louisville, ever again…

Argentina Scrambles To Avoid Default
By editor
Originally published on Wed July 30, 2014 1:43 pm
An American judge has ordered Argentina to make debt payments of $1.5 billion to American creditors. But time is running out.
If Argentina doesn't pay the U.S. hedge funds by midnight, it will default on its bond payments for the second time in 13 years. The last default, in 2001, led Argentinians to protest the declining economic conditions in their country.
Bloomberg News' Michael Regan joins Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson to discuss what this could mean for the Argentinian economy and the American hedge funds who took a gamble buying up Argentina's risky bonds.

Ratings And Reviews Disclaimer
I had used only a quarter of the can and it had lost all pressure. It feels like it's still pretty full, but nothing comes out.
No, I do not recommend this product.
purchased this product many times because the formula is amazing and because of the jojoboa oil,but can fails to propel the gel out of the container after a few uses
I am frustrated with any of Gillette's shave gel in cans. I have the same problem many in the review had in the past. I buy my Gillette's products in Costco and they sell 3-can package of Gillette Comfort and after using a can for three or less shaves, the gel stop coming out no matter what. The can loss the gas or something and the gel stop flowing no matter how hard you press the top. I ended with several full gel cans that are useless. This happened with, at least, 5 cans already. I decided to stop buying Gillette products in general until I get a refund and a response from Gillette representatives. I can see that this issue is of old data based on similar comments from 2011. Three years later, I am having the same issues. This means Gillette does not care and is doing nothing to fix this issue.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Intellectual-property lawyer Jeremy S. Pitcock was fired back in December from Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman for, the firm said, "extremely inappropriate personal conduct," or, as they helpfully clarified in a press release sent out on the occasion of Pitcock's getting a job at a new firm, sexual harassment. Pitcock soon lost said new job, and since then has had a little trouble finding another one. So he's suing his former employer, along with the public-relations company that wrote the press release: Mike Sitrick's Sitrick and Company, which has done damage control for such esteemed figures as Paris Hilton and Joe Francis. According to Pitcock, Sitrick made out like he flashed his vagina or something, when in reality all he did was drunkenly smooch an underling.
The kiss occurred in the associate's apartment after they had been out drinking together with other firm staff at a bar near the firm. Pitcock and the associate both realized that they had made a mistake and had no further physical contact.
Pitcock is claiming he needs $90 million to fix his reputation. A response from Sitrick is, uh, "TK," according to the Times.

FORWARD | Legacy Of A World Champion
World Champion kiteboarding Youri Zoon and EyEFORcE productions present the trailer of their new project "FORWARD".
FORWARD is the story about an athlete who fought his whole life to be the best kitesurfer in the world. When he finally won the world title in 2011, Youri Zoon found himself in a new place. What could possibly be his new goal? FORWARD gives an insider's look of Youri's battles throughout the year.
FORWARD will be broadcasted in three chapters. The webseries was shot during one month in Cape Town but also shows footage of Youri during the competitive season. In Cape Town, EyEFORcE was the first ever to film kiteboarding with a high speed camera. Shooting up to 1500 frames per second, the Phantom camera they used was able to capture the beauty of Youri's style like never before.
FORWARD was sponsored by Youri's longtime sponsors Brunotti and Mystic and his new sponsors BEST and Javra. The first episode of FORWARD will go live on their websites the 18th of April at 12:00 CET.

The soft point shape provides a broad frontal area for high-energy impact and rapid expansion. The bullet cores stay "Lokt" in place to provide deep penetration and the jackets are designed for progressive, reliable expansion to almost twice their original diameter. Shipped ground only.

Comments about Remington Express Core-Lokt Ammo, .300 Win Mag, 180 Gr.:
I have used Remington ammunition to take a number of bull elk and buck deer over the past 50 years and have used Core-Lokt (PSP) since it came out many years ago. On elk I usually find the bullet against the far hide...often after going through the lower front shoulder and a rib or two (all at 250 yds or less). I usually find 60%-80% of the bullet with excellent mushroom expansion. I own Core-Lokts in a number of calibers as my 'go to' ammo. Yes, I sometimes use more expensive ammo, but haven't found any that perform appreciably better.

USL255 is an investigational treatment being developed for the management of epilepsy in adults and is also the subject of a global Phase III clinical trial (PREVAIL). Information about the trial can be found at: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01142193?term=upsher+smith&rank=4
Upsher-Smith's Expanding CNS Pipeline
Upsher-Smith's central nervous system (CNS) pipeline includes a number of investigational drug programs. In addition to USL255 (extended-release topiramate), USL is developing an intranasal midazolam (USL261), for the rescue treatment of seizures in patients on stable anti-epileptic drug regimens who require control of intermittent bouts of increased seizure activity, frequently referred to as seizure clusters. Another program is USL260 (tonabersat), an investigational drug and potential first-in-class neuronal gap junction modulator which is also a potential treatment for epilepsy.
About Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a medical condition that produces seizures affecting a variety of mental and physical functions. Almost three million people in the U.S. have some form of epilepsy with about 200,000 new cases of epilepsy diagnosed each year.(1)

Free agent Matt Moore has informed the Dolphins that he plans to test the open market barring an "incredible offer" from Miami reports the Miami Herald. Moore again served as the Dolphins backup this season behind Ryan Tannehill. He did make 12 starts in 2011 when he recorded a 16:9 TD-to-INT ratio, 7.2 YPA, and 60.5 completion rate. There figures to be no shortage of teams who have interest in a backup the caliber of Moore.

Ameda Purely Yours Ultra Double Electric Breast Pump
Whether you are returning to work or want a fast and easy pumping experience, the Ameda Purely Yours Ultra Double Electric Breast Pump designed for daily use, is the ideal breast pump. All Ameda Breast Pumps use the Ameda HygieniKit Milk Collection System. The HygieniKit delivers our Proven Airlock Protection . This barrier protects your breast milk and your baby from bacteria, mold and viruses by preventing air flow between the expressed milk and pump tubing while pumping. It also keeps narrow tubing dry so no need to clean. The Ameda HygieniKit included with the pump allows a mother to single or double pump to save time. The Ameda Purely Yours Ultra also features CustomControlTM, which lets you adjust the speed and suction independently. You can choose from 32 different options to find your most comfortable and efficient setting. The breast pump is portable and lightweight (motor weighs just 1 lb./0.45 kg), making it convenient to transport.

This pump comes in a stylish bag for easy transporting and is a lot better than medela breastpumps!!!!
Best Uses
Comments about Purely Yours Ultra Pump:
First, I am very happy I bought this on Diapers.com. The detailed product information and reviews were very helpful and I saved about $85, compared to what the big retail chains were charging. As a brand new mother (7 weeks in!) I carefully research and compare everything - especially an important purchase like this. I was initially set on the Medela Pump in Style and had rented the Medela Symphony from the hospital. Both were good products but I was concerned by reports of moisture in the lines and the potential for mold. I'm going back to work soon and I need a pump that is sanitary, sturdy and portable and Ameda seemed to offer all of the above. So far, I'm really happy with the Ameda Purely Yours. It's very efficient - I can pump 4-6 ounces in 15 minutes. The various size cups and adjustable dials give me control over the comfort and efficiency. I also really liked that it comes with all the parts I need, including bottles, storage pack, car adapter, etc. And the carry tote is surprisingly discreet and well constructed. It doesnt look like I'm walking around with a breast pump.

Comments about Purely Yours Ultra Pump:
I've been using this pump for almost a year. It's still working great and my supply is still strong! One good thing about this pump is that the milk can't back up into the tubing :)
Best Uses
Comments about Purely Yours Ultra Pump:
Works great. Quickly pumps. Used Medela pump while hospitalized. Use Ameda at home. I feel I have been able to pump more in a shorter amount of time. Easier Clean up. Only con is it is very loud.
Best Uses
Comments about Purely Yours Ultra Pump:
This is my second Ameda pump and only because we had a house fire and I lost the first did we have to purchase a second.
This is the newest pump by Ameda and is great. I use it multiple times a day from home and work and it also comes with a car adapter for long rides.
For those who have large or small nipples, it comes with the varying sized flanges so you don't have to purchase separately.
This is the best buy for all the items included, you don't have to buy anything extra.
My husband commented on the bag, it is super stylish and if you are worried about being discreet, there is nothing about the bag that screams "breastpump". The bag has pockets (like a purse) for a wallet, paper and pens so you can mark your milk after pumping.

It seems like every time I check the box score these days Jon Rauch has tossed another scoreless inning for the Mets. It's getting to the point where I expect to see it now and the numbers for the 6'11″ righty have not disappointed. Since June 10th of this year Rauch has trimmed his ERA from a fat 4.88 all the way down to a slim 2.98. The 33-year-old has managed to cut almost two points off his earned run average by allowing just 3 ER in his last 24 1/3 innings pitched (1.11 ERA).
Rauch has been one of the best relievers in all of baseball since the All-Star break and nearly unhittable, allowing just 6 hits in 16 innings to go along with 2 saves, 7 holds, and a nifty 1.13 ERA. I'm not quite sure what has gotten into the big righty, but maybe he just needed to get a feel for performing in New York. He certainly hasn't taken to Twitter nearly as much as he did early in the season but it was nice to see him back on yesterday wishing everyone a happy labor day.
Its an honor to be a @MLB_PLAYERS #UnionMember – I hope everyone has a Happy Labor Day!!

I love when players interact with fans on Twitter but if Big Jon wants to focus on dominating hitters and keep the social media to a minimum, I'm all for it. He's been lights out of late and has definitely been worth the $3.5 million investment the team made in him this offseason. With a finish like this, Rauch is likely earning a raise for next season and maybe even a multi-year deal, which probably means he'll be playing somewhere besides Queens come 2013.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera, who was suspended 50 games last week, allegedly created a fictitious website and product to convince Major League Baseball he unwittingly took a banned substance. However, MLB officials quickly were onto the rouse during the investigation of his positive test for a banned testosterone, the New York Daily News reported Sunday. The plot, which is being probed by federal authorities and MLB, could cause Cabrera more serious problems than his current ban. Cabrera and his entourage were being investigated by, among others, Jeff Novitzky, a criminal investigative agent for the Food & Drug Administration after the All-Star Game MVP tested positive for using a synthetic testosterone. Cabrera has been the Giants' No. 3 hitter for much of the season and was a candidate for National League MVP. He was hitting .346, the second-best batting average in the league behind Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutcheon, who was batting .356 through Saturday. ...

So, I go to people.com almost every day after reading through cnn.com and one day a few weeks ago on a whim, I submitted the picture that's my avatar for People Magazine's "America's Scrapbook 2007." Not thinking anything of it, I learned that they had chosen the picture to put on their website, which can be found here- I think it's picture 10. (It changes if they add pictures.)
I received an email when I got home tonight from a photo editor at the magazine that said they would like to put it in one of their upcoming issues. I'll keep everyone posted!

People visit retreats for many reasons, seeking guidance, rest or refuge from a hectic life. Whatever it is they are hungering for, all of the guests at the Immaculate Heart Center for Spiritual Renewal in Montecito come away well-fed, thanks to the highly lauded meals of Teresa Fanucchi.
Her recipes, and the dramatic history of the group that employs her, the Los Angeles-based Immaculate Heart Community, inspired "A Place at the Table," a cookbook published last year by Elevated Lab Press. This spiral-bound gem offers seasonal meal plans and some 90 recipes, many based on vegetables, fruit and herbs from the gardens and orchards on the property.
The book's introduction, by Glen Vecchione, tells the gripping story of the turmoil the Immaculate Heart sisters in Los Angeles experienced in the 1960s, which received world-wide media attention. When the Second Vatican Council called on the Catholic Church to renew and modernize, the nuns welcomed this directive, and its promise of more freedom in education, work, prayer and attire.
But the nuns' attempts to modernize infuriated the traditionalist Los Angeles cardinal at the time, the late James Francis McIntyre. He ordered the sisters to abandon their plans for renewal and resume a traditional form of religious life. The sisters responded that they intended to follow the statutes of the Second Vatican Council, which McIntyre publicly opposed. According to contemporary accounts, McIntyre told the sisters during a meeting: "You will suffer for this!"
Eventually, the sisters were given an ultimatum: Return to traditional ways — or leave the order. In 1970, some 400 made the traumatic decision to stop being nuns.
Many went on to form a still-thriving nonprofit service community of men and women with no official ties to the church.
"We really want to be there for people of all ages, and at all stages, to build the bridges to help them be the best that they can be," says Rosemary Hart, co-director of the Immaculate Heart Community, who was one of the nuns who left the order.
Hart described some of their projects, which include providing housing for women in crisis, giving "crib to college" aid to at-risk youth and offering many services for residents of impoverished neighborhoods. In addition, they own Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles and are on the board of Alverno High School of Sierra Madre.
The group also runs the Center for Spiritual Renewal on the grounds of the 26-acre La Casa de Maria retreat center in Montecito. Housed in a stone estate, which was designed by architect Mary Osborne Craig in the 1920s for an oilman, it later served as a novitiate residence until the split with the church.
The building has a quiet elegance, with hand-chiseled walls, carved teak ceilings, a beautiful library and a beckoning dining room. On the walls (and in the cookbook) are works by late artist Corita Kent. An Immaculate Heart nun and later a community member, Kent created iconic images, including the famous 1985 love stamp.
Fanucchi cooks and bakes in the large, homey kitchen, which looks like one your grandmother might have commanded. The super-size refrigerator is a vintage icebox that was wired to meet modern demands.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a butler's pantry, where dinner is served buffet-style. Before filling their plates, guests introduce themselves, then give thanks for the meal. One evening the prayer might be a reading from the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh. Or it could be one written by the center's associate director, Michelle de Beixedon, which includes this thought: "Accept the gratitude in our hearts for the good gift of this food, for the nourishment that brings strength to our bodies and joy to our spirits."
De Beixedon says that she loves entering the kitchen midafternoon, when Fanucchi is preparing dinner: "It's like coming upon an artist at work. It's just a really wonderful energy, and I know that something very special and creative and exceptional is happening with the food. You can feel it."
One guest who definitely appreciated Fanucchi's food was Los Angeles businessman Rich Hockens, who first visited the center in 2007. Although he initially craved solitude, Hockens decided to join other guests for dinner, which began with a blessing and ended with stories shared and friendships formed.
Grateful for his retreat experience, Hockens wanted to give something back. That's when the notion of a cookbook struck. He pitched the idea to his friend, author and illustrator Vecchione, who, in turn, contacted Los Angeles publisher Lewis Hall.
"Here we have this wonderful setting," Vecchione says. "We have this delightful, delicious food, and we have these women who have carved out a little piece of the world and have shown incredible courage and fortitude in their quest. This is when the book began to fall together."
Hall's hands-on involvement included coming to the center for photo shoots, where a big perk was taste-testing. After one session taking pictures, a cup of Fanucchi's chilled yellow squash soup had not been claimed.
"I sat down and ate it, and it was the best soup I've ever eaten," Hall recalls.
Since her days as a holistic culinary student at Bauman College in Northern California, Fanucchi has been interested in what she calls the spirituality of cooking. She is mindful of the labor and energy involved in growing ingredients before they reach her hands.
'A Place at the Table' cookbook celebrates spirit of Immaculate Heart Center
The cookbook published by Elevated Lab Press features recipes from Teresa Fanucchi, who prepares meals at the Montecito retreat, and baker Ann Chamberlin.
