Minnesota guard Joe Coleman was named the Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Week after helping the Gophers secure a pair of Big Ten road victories last week, at No. 7 Indiana and at Penn State. Coleman, a Minneapolis native and Hopkins High School graduate, averaged 15.5 points and 4.0 rebounds this week. He scored a career-high 23 points in the win over Penn State that included a 13-of-14 effort from the free throw line while playing 36 minutes, also a career-high. Coleman, who has started the last three games for Minnesota, came up big in the upset victory at Indiana, as he scored eight points, including four free throws in the final minute, to help the Gophers defeat the seventh-ranked Hoosiers in Bloomington.

Recent Siesta Key reviews
"The location (quite) and view say it all. The condo is so nice in décor. The ease of location to dining and beach create a healthy environment."Guest: Mike and Donna Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 23, 2015View listing
"We had a great week at your house! The furnishings were beautiful and also very comfortable. The master bed was more comfortable than my own bed at home! The townhouse was furnished and decorated exactly the way I would have done it myself if it were my own beach house, which is why i describe it as "home away from home." The main floor bathroom was a little outdated but I was there for the beach, not the bathroom! We really enjoyed having lots of space to spread out as we were there with my mom, two preschool age daughters, and a baby. As for the beach, when it is really hot, the walk across the main road to the beach with young kids is too much. So, we ended up driving to the public beach most days. I actually really enjoyed that because they have a great snack bar, bathrooms relatively close, and lifeguards. When going to the beach with little ones, all of those things are a plus. Thanks for sharing your beach toys and towels too. That was really nice! It was also so helpful to have the cart to carry stuff down to the beach! The pools were both really nice too. The only thing i had any real issue with, and the reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5, was the garage. I'm not sure how long it had been since previous guests were there, but the (empty) trash cans smelled extraordinarily bad and there were 100's of dead flies on the garage floor. We left the garage door open to air it out. My husband sprayed cleaner in the cans and the stench still wouldn't go away. You had to hold your nose getting things in and out of the garage. We didn't park in it or put our stuff in it, because we didn't want to have to smell that. So, if there's a way to make sure someone checks on the trash situation every week, i think that would help. Or maybe it just gets so hot in there that nothing helps. I don't know. I'd talk to your neighbors and see if they have the same issue. Also, just so other travelers are clear, the main floor is not on the ground floor. The ground floor belongs to another unit. It ended up being no big deal but there was some miscommunication about the "first floor", i thought you meant ground floor and just wanted to make clear for others who might not understand. I would not have cared at all except that we were traveling with my mom who doesn't do stairs much... Thanks again for a great week."Guest: Donna E. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: October 14, 2014View listing
"My husband, daughter and grandson and I just spent a wonderful week at this condo at Siesta Key. We really liked being on the first floor as we could easily use the stairs rather than having to use the elevator. The condo, itself, was spotless and had everything we could possibly need for our week's stay. Beach towels and beach toys were provided so we didn't need to bring anything with us. The kitchen was well stocked for those days we decided to eat in. The beds were extremely comfortable also. I really enjoyed having my morning coffee on the balcony. The pool was wonderful, and the beach is breathtaking! I plan on staying here again in the future."Guest: SJH Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 8, 2015View listing
"Just want to recommend this gem of a condo .. Beach access was wonderful at our leisure! Perfect location and amenities made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay! Brian had everything set for us. We will definitely be back!"Guest: Liz B. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 15, 2015View listing
Siesta Key Travel Tips
When you take a vacation to Siesta Key, Fla., you'll find people who enjoy an active lifestyle. From artists and writers to outdoor sports enthusiasts, there's much to do on this barrier island. At 8 miles long, you'll find some of the world's best white sand beaches, shopping and dining that will make you want to extend your vacation into a lifelong stay.
This little island of paradise is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. The clear waters will inspire you and the one-of-a-kind attractions are what you always imagined an island escape would be.
Must-see Attractions in Siesta Key
Beaches: When you go to Siesta Key, it'll be hard not to find yourself at Siesta Key Beach. The fine white sand is perfect for a day of fun in the sun and the water is even better for activities like surfing, wakeboarding and boating. This beach is one of the most beautiful in the country, so you certainly don't want to skip it. There are several other beaches on the island as well, including Nokomis Public Beach, North Jetty Park Beach, Whitney Beach, Palma Sola South and North, Englewood Mid Beach and Palm Island North.
Beach rides: If you've always wanted to take a cruise along the beach, Siesta Key is the place to do it. There are several local companies that offer rides to visitors and guests, and they will guide you along the shores in covered golf carts to give you some of the best views you can find.
Point of Rocks: You haven't seen anything until you visit Point of Rocks. This beach is a rare geologic feature that's perfect for bird watching and marine wildlife viewing. On top of that, there's a scenic beach nearby for you to watch the sunset and enjoy the scenery. Fishermen will love Point of Rocks as they cast out their lines and try to snag a bite.
Outdoor activities: There's a reason many of Siesta Key's residents enjoy outdoor activities - there's so much to do! Whether it's getting a tan on the beach or dipping your toes in the water, a relaxed lifestyle is what it's all about. Guests can go fishing along one of the many piers, including the Englewood Ken Thompson Park Pier and the New Pass Pier. You can even watch a game of cricket and learn more about this English pastime with a visit to the Sarasota International Cricket Club's grounds. During the summer months, visitors can check out free concerts in the park to hear a number of musical performances and get down. You can also go wind surfing, jet or water skiing, boating and snorkeling if you want to get up close and personal with the water and take on a more daring adventure.
Shopping and Dining in Siesta Key
Shopping: There's plenty of shopping to be done in Siesta Key and the surrounding areas. The island is just a short drive from Sarasota, which has the sophistication of a big city but remains full of small-town charm. If you want to stay on the island, there are a number of shops at Siesta Village, which is located at the north end of Siesta Key and just a short distance from Crescent and Siesta beaches. You can also find more than 100 shops, boutiques, galleries and sidewalk cafes at St. Armand's Circle along Main Street and Palm Avenue in Sarasota. If you want, get up on a Saturday morning and head to Sarasota for the farmers market on Main and Lemon streets downtown. Aside from the fresh food and handmade goods, you'll also find goodies for your pet.
Dining in Siesta Key: If you want to take in views of the water while dining, head to Marina Jack's on Sarasota's bayfront. There's also O'Leary's Tiki Bar at Centennial Park along Sarasota Bay which is a great place for travelers who want to enjoy a good vibe and socialize. You'll find plenty of places to choose from in downtown Sarasota along Main Street. There are eateries and bars, including Mattison's City Grill as well as Divino Restaurant, where you will find tasty food and impressive live entertainment.

Random House and Penguin merge to form publishing powerhouse
By Matthew Chapman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 29 October 2012 10:05AM
Publishing giants Random House and Penguin Group will be merged after an agreement was reached between respective owners Bertelsmann and Pearson, the groups have today (29 October) confirmed.
Bertelsmann will hold 53% of the new publishing group, while Financial Times owner Pearson will hold 47%.
Penguin Random House will be the name of the newly created publishing powerhouse.
The confirmation of the tie-up has put an end to reports that Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation would buy Penguin in a £1bn deal.
Markus Dohle, chairman and chief executive officer of Random House, will be chief executive of the new group, while John Mackinson, chairman and CEO of Penguin will become the chairman of the board of directors.
Random House and Penguin "will continue to publish their books with the autonomy they presently enjoy, and retain their distinct editorial identities", according to the announcement.
The deal between Random House and Pengiun represents the tie-up between two of the world's biggest publishers.
The tie-up comes as the publishing landscape changes dramatically, with the increasing take-up of ebooks hitting publishers' bottom line.
Marjorie Scardino, the outgoing chief executive of Pearson, said: "Penguin is a successful, highly respected and much-loved part of Pearson. This combination with Random House - a company with an almost perfect match of Penguin's culture, standards and commitment to publishing excellence - will greatly enhance its fortunes and its opportunities.
"Together, the two publishers will be able to share a large part of their costs, to invest more for their author and reader constituencies and to be more adventurous in trying new models in this exciting, fast-moving world of digital books and digital readers."

The Adventure Begins... San Agustin and Stone Sculptures
I left the desert and headed south and west. There was a town about 250km away called San Agustin that I wanted to visit. The road was in good condition. The weather was cooperating as well.
I crossed the Rio Magdalena a few times. Its a long and wide river that cuts a path through the center of Colombia.
Distances in Colombia can be a little deceiving. 250km is not a far distance, but the roads are often curvy and it always takes a little longer than expected. I arrived in San Agustin after about 4 hours of riding. I found a little oasis at which to stay called La Casa de Francois.
After unloading my things I took a stroll around town. I came across a costurera (seamstress) and asked if they could repair a zipper on my pants that had broken. They could and charged me $2000 Bolivias (US$1).
Around the town of San Agustin there are over 400 archaeological scuptures with stone carved statues and tombs.
At the hotel, I met a girl named Sarka from the Chech Republic and we decided to take a horseback riding excursion to see the sites.
Our guide for the trip was a guy named Carlos.
And my trusty horse was called Aceveda.
As we headed out of town we came across these houses with these mannequins hanging outside.
They are called Año Viejos (Old Years). They are constructed of old clothing for the new year celebration. On new years eve they are burned in the streets to symbolize the passing of the bad times of the past year and welcoming in the new year.
Turns out that Carlos is a bit of a curandero (healer). He knows quite a bit about the local plants and can easily identify plants that can be used for medicine. He pointed out this coca plant which has traditionally been used for many medicinal purposes.
This group of statues was called the El Tablon.
A woman shaman
A man guardian
A woman shaman
We rode on and came across this huge canyon.
This statue is called La Chaquira.
We rode on through coffee plantations.
This group was called La Pelota
An eagle
A jaguar shaman.
We came across this house built in a traditional way with bamboo, mud and straw. It was near the collection of statues called El Puratal
There was this guardian male shaman.
A guardian shaman holding a baby ready for a ceremony.
An excavated tomb
There is not a lot of information on the civilization that build the stone structures, but if you'd like to find out more about this UNESCO World Heritage site you can visit San Agustin website.
I'm not accustomed to horse back riding. I could tell that I might be a little sore the next day. But I suppose that it was worth it. All in all it was fun day of exploring and horse back riding.

Geographic Range
Northern dusky salamanders occur from southern New Brunswick and Quebec, along the East Coast to North Carolina, and west to Ohio, southern Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Over most of their range, dusky salamanders are common in appropriate habitat. Their distribution in the southern Appalachian Mountains is sporadic. Desmognathus fuscus recently included three subspecies, which continued the range to the Gulf Coast. Most authorities now consider these to be separate species. See "Other Comments" below for further information. A breeding population of Desmognathus fuscus has been found at one site in eastern Michigan; whether this population is introduced or a natural relict has not yet been determined. (Bartlett and Bartlett, 2006; Bonnett, 2002; Conant and Collins, 1998; Harding, 1997; Petranka, 1998)
Northern dusky salamanders prefer wooded or partially wooded moist habitats with running or trickling sources of water. Most often, they are found under flat rocks or logs near rocky or hillside streams or seeps, or in the moist, misty habitat near waterfalls. They may go into the water to find cover under rocks or substrate if disturbed. If the stream substrate does not freeze, they can remain active year-round. In extremely cold conditions, they will burrow under gravel until they are below the frostline. Dusky salamanders can survive at a variety of altitudes, ranging from sea level to high in the Appalachian Mountains. In the Great Smoky Mountains they are uncommon over 1200 m in elevation. (Bartlett and Bartlett, 2006; Conant and Collins, 1998; Harding, 1997; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)

Physical Description
Desmognathus fuscus is a small but robust salamander with 14 costal grooves, and hind limbs that are larger than the front limbs. They have a keeled (knife-like) tail that is less than half the body length. The upper body varies from brown or reddish brown to gray or olive, with slightly darker markings on the top and sides. The base of the tail is typically olive, yellow, or bright chestnut (a bit lighter than the body). The belly is whitish with some dark speckles. Adults are 6.4 to 14.2 cm (2.5-5.6 in) in length. Males are typically longer than females. The average length for a male D. fuscus is 9.4 cm, and the average length for a female is 8.6 cm. Desmognathus fuscus is in the family Plethodontidae, and thus is lungless. They "breathe" via oxygen absorption through the skin and membranous tissue in the mouth and throat. Also, members of this family have a naso-labial groove, which may aid in smelling, which is important when finding prey and identifying potential mates. (Bartlett and Bartlett, 2006; Bishop, 1941; Conant and Collins, 1998; Harding, 1997; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)

Upon hatching, dusky salamander larvae are about 1.6 cm (0.6 in) long and have well-developed limbs. The larvae may stay with their mother for several days or even weeks before going to the water. Because they are aquatic, they have gills, which are small and white. However they can survive in moist terrestrial environments for some time if required, and terrestrial metamorphosis may be possible. After spending 7 to 11 months in the water they undergo metamorphosis (in the spring or summer after hatching). Newly transformed salamanders are 2.8 to 4.4 cm (1.1 to 1.7 in.) long. (Bishop, 1941; Harding, 1997; Hom, 1987; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)
- Development - Life Cycle
- metamorphosis
Dusky salamanders, like most members of the Order Caudata, reproduce with a unique form of internal fertilization. The male deposits a jellylike, sperm-capped glob (called a spermatophore) onto the ground. The female then climbs over the cylindrical or cone-shaped spermatophore and the sperm is allowed to enter her vent. The sperm is stored in her cloaca until breeding. Because courtship occurs both in the spring and in the fall, the sperm may be stored for either a very short period or for a length of many months. (Harding, 1997; Petranka, 1998)
Courtship in dusky salamanders occurs near streams in both spring and fall. Mating occurs on land. A male will approach a female while doing a "butterfly walk," rotating his front limbs similar to a swimmer doing a butterfly stroke. He will wag his tail and nudge the female with his snout in order to identify and stimulate her. Then the male will vigorously press his chin onto the female's back and arch his body. With a quick snap, he will straighten his body. The snap is so violent that the male may be thrown 5 to 10 cm away from the female. Over time, he will repeat this activity, slowly moving until he is under the female's head. He reaches back snaps at the female's dorsum or neck, and drags his teeth across her dorsum in order to vaccinate her with pheromone secretions that will make her receptive. Next, the female will straddle his tail, while touching her chin to the base of his tail to facilitate courtship with skin secretions. Usually, the salamanders will remain in this position for some time. Then the male will produce a spermatophore to be picked up by the female via her vent. Sometimes the male places the spermatophore directly onto her cloacal opening. (Gibbs, et al., 2007; Harding, 1997; Hom, 1987; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)
- Mating System
- polygynous
In summer, females produce 12 to 51 eggs, which are deposited under rocks, logs, mosses or debris near water in the summer. Larger females (based on snout-to-vent length) typically produce larger numbers of eggs. Females stay with the eggs until they hatch, after 40 to 80 days. In most successful nest sites, 70% or more of the eggs will hatch. After two or three years, males will be reproductively mature. For females, three or four years are required. (Bishop, 1941; Harding, 1997; Hom, 1987; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)

Females attend to the eggs from deposition to hatching, leaving the nest infrequently at night to feed. Brooding females will aggressively defend their clutch from predators. In one study, brooding female D. f. fuscus returned to their nests after being displaced as much as 32 meters. In the rare occurrences that females did not attend to their clutch, high mortality (often 100%) due to predation or invasion of the eggs by fungal hyphae was observed. (Bishop, 1941; Gibbs, et al., 2007; Harding, 1997; Hom, 1987; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)

No specific information is available on longevity in this species. Related salamander species can be relatively long lived (i.e. several years to a decade or more) for such small animals. (Petranka, 1998)
Dusky salamanders are mainly active nocturnally. At night, they will leave the log or rock that gives them protection during the day to find food along a steam or waterway. On moist evenings, salamanders are active from dusk to dawn. While mostly terrestrial, dusky salamanders can sometimes climb up vegetation or rock faces. These salamanders can be active throughout the year if in a spring or spring-fed habitat, but often are inactive in winter. They are generally solitary except during courtship and mating, and larval brooding. (Bishop, 1941; Gibbs, et al., 2007; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)
- Range territory size
- 1.4 to 114 m^2
Home Range
Adult dusky salamanders have a small home range, and an individual may move only a couple of meters over a period of several months. The actual size of the home range varies between localities and geographic range, ranging from 1.4 square meters to 114 square meters. (Bishop, 1941; Gibbs, et al., 2007; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)
Communication and Perception
It is thought that the nasolabial groove (characteristic of members of the family Plethodontidae) aids in smelling prey items as well as potential mates. Chemical odors may be transported along the groove and into the mouth, where the vomeronasal organ can transfer the information to the salamander's brain. Also, glands (like the mental gland, located on the chin) are used to communicate with mates when courting. The male will vigorously rub his chin onto the female, as well as bite her, in order to provide her with pheromone secretions until she becomes fully receptive. If a brooding female is returning to her nest after feeding at night, she can recognize which clutch is hers by using chemical cues. Dusky salamanders may bite a threatening predator. Also, a male may attack a another male that is courting a female. (Harding, 1997; Petranka, 1998)
- Other Communication Modes
- pheromones
- scent marks
Food Habits
Dusky salamanders are carnivorous, and eat small invertebrates (both terrestrial and aquatic) including earthworms, slugs, snails, crustaceans, spiders, mites, flies and fly larvae, ants, beetles and beetle larvae, centipedes, moths, and mayflies. Dusky salamander larvae eat crustaceans, insect larvae, copepods, and mites. The diet is fairly nonspecific, and they tend to eat whatever is in abundance. Dusky salamander larvae or small juveniles are occasionally eaten by large adults. (Bishop, 1941; Harding, 1997; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)
- Primary Diet
- insectivore
- eats non-insect arthropods
- molluscivore
- vermivore
- Animal Foods
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
- mollusks
- terrestrial worms
Dusky salamanders have a number of predators, including raccoons (Procyon lotor), birds, striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis), shrews (family Soricidae), water snakes (Nerodia species), garter snakes (Thamnophis species), spring salamanders (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus) and red salamanders (Pseudotriton ruber). It has been suggested that predation may impact reproductive success to the point that it restricts the abundance of dusky salamanders in parts of their range from Tennessee to Virginia. Dusky salamander skin is only mildly toxic, so they must rely on other defensive techniques. Dusky salamanders can move with great agility, and are good jumpers. They also have slippery skins which makes grasping by predators difficult. They may actually bite a predator. Like many of the plethodontid salamanders, they can drop their tails when attacked in order to distract the predator enough to make a quick escape. The tail will grow back later, though it may look slightly different than the original. Tail dropping is fairly common in northern dusky salamanders; approximately 50% of adults have missing (recently dropped) or regrown tails. (Bartlett and Bartlett, 2006; Bishop, 1941; Gibbs, et al., 2007; Harding, 1997; Hom, 1987; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)

Ecosystem Roles
Dusky salamanders are second and third order consumers that eat a wide variety of small terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates. They are opportunists and will eat whatever is available in high abundance. Dusky salamanders are prey to a number of animal species representing many vertebrate (and perhaps some invertebrate) groups, including mammals, snakes, birds, and larger amphibians. Desmognathus fuscus often shares its habitat with other species of the genus Desmognathus, and other plethodontid salamanders. It appears that niche partitioning occurs, and animals of the different Desmognathus species have a broader habitat preference in areas of overlap than in areas that the species do not overlap. Other species that have been found to coexist with D. fuscus are seal salamanders (D. monticola), Allegheny Mountain dusky salamanders (D. ochrophaeus), southern dusky salamanders (D. auriculatus), and northern two-lined salamanders (Eurycea bislineata). (Bartlett and Bartlett, 2006; Bishop, 1941; Harding, 1997; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
In the southeastern United States, salamanders in the genera Desmognathus, Gyrinophilus, and Pseudotriton are collected and sold as fishing bait for largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and other sport fish. In bait shops, you can find them labeled as "spring salamanders" or, as often, "spring lizards." The lungless (plethodontid) salamanders (including Desmognathus) are important in nutrient cycles in the forest ecosystem, which undoubtedly helps maintain the health of forest resources. (Bartlett and Bartlett, 2006; Bonett, et al., 2007; Harding, 1997; Petranka, 1998)
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known adverse effects of Desmognathus fuscus on humans.
Conservation Status
Dusky salamanders can be common where habitat is intact and abundant in areas such as shaded streamsides in moist woods. But they are threatened in some areas by tree removal, which exposes the area to sun, increasing the water temperature and decreasing the humidity. Pollution of waterways can also be a serious threat. The overall effects of bait collection are unknown, but this activity may certainly impact local populations, especially if collection techniques (such as rock turning) disrupt the local habitat. (Harding, 1997; Petranka, 1998)

Other Comments
Desmognathus fuscus was previously considered to be made up of three subspecies: northern dusky salamanders (D. f. fuscus), spotted dusky salamanders (D. f. conanti), and Santeetlah dusky salamanders (D.f. santeetlah). However, most authorities now consider these three to be separate species: D. fuscus, D. conanti, and D. santeetlah. The range of northern dusky salamanders is as described above. Spotted dusky salamanders range from southern Illinois and western Kentucky south to the Gulf Coast. Santeetlah dusky salamanders occur only in a small geographical area high in the Unicoi, Great Smoky, and Great Balsam mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.
The three traditional subspecies are very similar in physical appearance, with only subtle differences. D. f. santeetlah is usually the smallest and darkest. D. f. conanti is usually the most colorful, and often has 6 to 8 pairs of gold or red spots (or single lateral lines) along the back. The pattern on D. f. conanti likely comes from the juvenile character (present in all subspecies) of a wavy band and yellowish or reddish spots along the back. Desmognathus f. fuscus varies from brown or reddish brown to gray or olive, with slightly darker markings on the top and sides. The base of the tail is typically olive, yellow, or bright chestnut (a bit lighter than the body). The belly is whitish with some dark speckles (in D. f. fuscus) or lighter speckles (in D. f. conanti). The belly of D.f. santeetlah is yellowish with dark speckles. Usually there is a light stripe from the eye to the back of the mouth. (Bartlett and Bartlett, 2006; Bonett, et al., 2007; Conant and Collins, 1998; Harding, 1997; Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)
Hybridization sometimes occurs between D. fuscus and a close relative, mountain dusky salamanders (Desmognathus ochrophaeus) in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Extensive interbreeding occurs between D. fuscus and D. santeetlah where their ranges overlap in the northwestern Great Smoky Mountains. (Hulse, et al., 2001; Petranka, 1998)

The night before Hans is to leave for training, he and Alex Steiner go to the Knoller where the owner allows them to drink for free. Hans returns home very drunk and cannot get his key to fit in the lock. He calls for Rosa only to discover that he's at Frau Holtzapfel's home. After he does make it inside, he goes to Liesel's room and watches her sleep. She thinks it's Max for a second and asks, then realizes it's her Papa. The next morning, Rosa finds Hans in the basement asleep on drop sheets. She throws a bucket of cold water on him. That afternoon, the Steiners come over to say goodbye; Alex will leave in four days. Liesel and Rosa go with Hans to the train station. He tells Liesel to look after his accordion and to keep reading during the air raids.
Himmel Street is not the same. Everyone's hearts are heavy. Weeks pass and Rudy comes over to Liesel's house and asks if she's coming with him. She doesn't know where they are going, but she follows. They walk for miles, and she finally asks where they're heading. Rudy says he's going to kill the Führer. It's getting dark. Liesel turns around and Rudy's angry. Eventually, he catches up with her and they finish their walk home, pausing to relive some of their memories. Rosa and Barbara Steiner are waiting for them, worried and angry, when they return. That same night, Liesel wakes to find Rosa sitting on the edge of her bed with Hans's accordion pressed to her chest. She remains like this and falls asleep this way, snoring.
This chapter serves not only to describe the changes that have come to Himmel Street, but also to provide a bit more examination of Rosa Hubermann's character. She tries to remain strong around those she loves, which she demonstrates by dumping cold water on Hans to get him up and ready for his train ride. But after he leaves, Liesel sees her in a softened state, holding Hans's accordion to her body. Liesel can see the great amount of love that she has for Hans, how worried she is about him. This chapter shows a rare look at Rosa's vulnerability.
It also shows the anger that's growing in Rudy, how he would like to take on the Führer in much the same way that Max used to take him on in his dreams.

After Liesel steals a book from the bonfire, what does the burning book against Liesel's chest symbolize?

Dusk rolling at Hobgoblin's Playground by Floм@ir on Flickr.
This is the only passage that really made me think differently. I don't know about touching me emotionally, but it certainly enlightened me. Why should I be afraid to contradict myself? I can think one thing yesterday and change my opinions today.
And it also helped me get over my fear of misunderstandings.
Hmm… This is a little difficult. I have MANY favorite quotes.
Here's one that I remembered as soon as I saw this prompt:
"A foolish consistency is the hobglobin of little minds…" ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote makes me feel justified to change my mind. I've always been so ashamed to do so. But then after I read this, I realized: Why the eff should I not be free to change my mind? I can believe what I want to believe, at any given time, and not be called a hypocrite!
Other favorite quotes of mine come from Lemony Snicket, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Michel de Montaigne.

VA Patient Safety:
Initiatives Promising but Continued Progress Requires Culture Change
T-HEHS-00-167: Published: Jul 27, 2000. Publicly Released: Jul 27, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) effort to reduce and prevent patient adverse events in VA health care facilities through its new patient safety initiative.
GAO noted that: (1) VA has developed a number of initiatives that indicate it is moving toward a culture of safety in which systems are developed or revised to better detect and prevent adverse events; (2) some of VA's systems have been cited as potential models for other health care organizations; (3) for example, VA has established systems that incorporate the use of bar code technology to prevent blood product and medication administration errors; (4) VA introduced bar code technology in operating rooms to ensure that patients receive the correct blood product; (5) bar code technology is also being used when medications are administered to in patients to verify that the right patient is receiving the right drug in the right dose at the right time; (6) VA is completing its implementation of a revised mandatory adverse event reporting and prevention process, which will allow VA to identify systems and processes that require redesign; (7) this initiative is perhaps the most challenging because its success is dependent on VA establishing a culture in which employees feel safe to openly report actual adverse events as well as close calls; (8) in implementing its initiatives, VA used strategies that mirror some of those suggested by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) for creating a culture of safety; (9) however, GAO believes VA can benefit if it increases its emphasis on several leadership strategies cited by IOM; (10) in fact, VA agrees that it is appropriate to measure its progress against the IOM recommended strategies; (11) these include making patient safety a more prominent goal, establishing clear responsibilities and expectations, and communicating the importance of patient safety to all staff; (12) VA's interim draft strategic plan for fiscal years 2001 through 2006 better highlights patient safety as a goal than the current strategic plan, but does not yet include outcome measures for determining the effectiveness of its patient safety initiatives; (13) VA could also better ensure success if it prepared a detailed implementation plan that identifies how and when VA's various patient safety initiatives will be implemented, how they are aligned to support improved patient safety, and what contribution each initiative can be expected to make toward the goal of improved patient safety; and (14) VA could raise staff awareness and understanding of the importance of this effort by better communicating its commitment to establishing patient safety as a top priority.

We loved the sight of the chickens running through the yard while we enjoyed a lovely breakfast. An early Summer or Autumn visit would be prettier as the landscape was mostly shades of brown. Extra pillows would have been nice - but we didn't ask so they may be available. I hope to stay again and enjoy another of the beautiful rooms. Polly and Bud Baril

The Jefferson Inn was a perfect location for our family to stay while dogsledding in Jefferson, NH. Over Christmas break, my mother (74) myself (47) and two "kids" (20 and 16) stayed at the Jefferson Inn in the Stalbird Stuite for 2 nights. The two rooms and bath were very clean and the beds very comfortable.(note the rooms are not exactly as pictured on the website, but still decorated nicely). Gwen, our innkeeper, was warm and easy to talk with. Breakfast was yummy and filling. Additionally there were cookies and tea each afternoon which were most welcome. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Jefferson Inn.

My husband and I stayed at the Jefferson Inn for our honeymoon. It was the most perfect place to stay! We appreciated the cleanliness of all the rooms, especially the bathrooms. The beds were firm and we loved the antique furniture in our room. There are a couple of common rooms where there are board games available and televisions. We loved that there was no television in our room since we can watch TV at home any time and we were more interested in relaxing the old fashioned way. Even so, WiFi was available for our convenience. Each morning we were provided a delicious full breakfast in addition to coffee, juice and fresh fruit. It was a real treat to eat home made meals off of real china plates too. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant stay! It truly felt like home! Thank you, Gwen and Eric! Mia and Dale

My family of 5, ages 9, 5, and one year old had a comfortable stay at the Jefferson Inn. Gwen was very nice and let the kids pet the mini ponies and visit the goats and chickens. The older kids played with other kids their age and had a blast playing board games and running around outside. We were able to easily fit a pack and play in the room. Bathroom were clean and the whole place was simple and country like. We had fresh fruit and french toast for breakfast. Close to Santas Village, hiking, and a short drive for dinner. Thanks again it was great!

We found this B&B online, and after reading the reviews and seeing the pictures, we booked a suite-(our 2yr old goes to bed around 7pm, and we like to have freedom to move around after that). Icing on the cake, was that it was only a 5min drive to Santa's Village (the point of our trip). The place is adorable! Country and rustic to a T. We're from a small town in RI, so it wasn't a far cry from the homes in our area, which was great! There's a nice backyard area with chairs, and a hammock. There are a couple of ponies and goats a little further back, and humming birds buzzing along the property. The owners were friendly, and super accommodating. They were patient with our curious and temperamental 2yr old running around like he owned the place. Breakfast was delicious! I honestly can't think of anything negative to say. My fiance and I have decided to make Santa's Village/Jefferson, NH a yearly trip for our growing family, and this is where we're planning to stay! Thank you for having us!

Indian Badam Burfi
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (Whole)
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Cardamom powder
|1 Pinch
|2 Tablespoon
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
1. Soak the almonds in hot water for 30 minutes.
2. Peel the skin off the almonds and blend the almonds into a fine paste using just enough milk as needed to blend.
3. Add the sugar and whip it for a couple of minutes.
4. Take a large plate and grease the bottom with butter.
5. In a frying pan, heat ghee on low-medium heat.
6. As the ghee melts, add the almond paste and cook on medium heat; stirring continuously.
7. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to the consistency of bread batter, and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
8. Add the cardamom powder; remove the frying pan from the heat.
9. Using a spoon, whip the batter in a circular motion for about two to three minutes.
10. Pour it into the prepared greased pan.
11. Smoothen the surface of the mixture to about a quarter inch thick.
12. Let it cool for about 20 minutes until it just looks warm.
13. Cut into 1-inch squares or any shape you like.
14. Cool to the room temperature and store burfi in an airtight container. Almond burfi has a long shelf life and can be kept outside for up to one week. When refrigerated, almond burfi will last a couple of months.
15. Serve as excellent dessert.
almond meal or almond flour can also be used to make burfi. If you are using almond meal, mix one cup almond meal with the sugar and milk and knead the mixture for two minutes. Let the mixture sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Then follow the directions above. The almond flour burfi will be a little chewy.

Debbie Reynolds, Perky Long Ago
By FRANK BRUNI
Published: December 22, 1996
There is a moment in the trailer for ''Mother,'' the new comedy by the director Albert Brooks opening Christmas Day, that says it all. Portraying one side of a telephone conversation about the movie, Mr. Brooks brags about landing the ''legendary Debbie Reynolds'' for the title role. A long pause ensues. A frown creases his face.
''No,'' he adds with a huff. ''She's not dead.''
For all Hollywood seemed to care, she might as well have been.
The last time Ms. Reynolds had more than a glorified walk-on in a movie was a quarter of a century ago in ''What's the Matter With Helen?'' Instead she did traveling plays, cruise ships, an autobiography, an exercise video. Ultimately, she retreated to Las Vegas, where she built her own hotel and casino, a museum of Hollywood memorabilia, a mausoleum of kitschy artifacts from the good old days. Ms. Reynolds was its star exhibit, performing a nightly cabaret act of tunes from her heyday in the 1950's to what she describes as a ''sea of gray hair'' and introducing herself in a way that elicited laughter despite its undercurrent of sadness.
''I'm Carrie Fisher's mother,'' she would say.
But as the show tune decrees, everything old is new again. And suddenly Ms. Reynolds, a woman long frozen in the past, has been given a shiny, gift-wrapped present.
''Mother'' casts her as a subtly loopy, impossibly frugal and maddeningly aloof suburban matriarch whose befuddlement over call waiting is eclipsed only by her ineptness at comforting her neurotic son (played by Mr. Brooks, who also wrote the script, with Monica Johnson, and directed).
It's a juicy role for an older actress when there aren't many parts of that kind going around, and Mr. Brooks said it felt especially good to hand it to Ms. Reynolds. ''The thrill for me was to provide an arena for someone who had had this great career to step back up to the plate,'' Mr. Brooks said.
Ms. Reynolds's reappearance in ''Mother'' is not only a long-overdue homecoming to the screen but also a testament to the persistent charms of one of Hollywood's most indefatigable creations.
''Every day I've had to shake my head,'' said Ms. Reynolds, who is now 64. ''It's such a surprise for me.'' She was seated on a sofa in a suite at the Essex House in Manhattan, her temporary home last month during the shooting in the New York area of another movie, ''In and Out.'' Since she finished ''Mother,'' the offers have been steadily trickling in, and that is strange indeed to a woman long accustomed to drought.
''I felt that at my age, you don't have a comeback,'' she said in a tone of genuine amazement. ''I almost feel like I'm starting over again.''
Her deep-set eyes, valentine-shaped face and wistful voice are instantly familiar from ''Singin' in the Rain,'' ''Tammy and the Bachelor'' and the many other sunny, sappy movies she made in the 1950's and early 1960's. But her chatter and darting movements betray an eagerness to please -- a hunger, almost -- that is unexpected, and can be attributed only in part to her well-honed reflexes as a performer. The rest boils down to gratitude and nerves.
''You want some ice?'' she said after pouring her visitor a hot cup of freshly brewed tea. Then, before there could be an answer, she bolted to the kitchenette. ''I'm going to get you some ice. You really need some ice.''
Asked about a tangle of blue foam and metal in the corner of the living room, she said, ''That's my ab cruncher'' and, in the blink of an eye, dropped to the floor for a demonstration. ''See,'' she said as her blond bouffant bobbed up and down. ''It's working everything.''
When she finally settled down, she confessed to feeling overwhelmed by the sudden reversal of fortunes. One part of her, she said, simply wants to head back to her life in Vegas. But another part relishes the chance to prove something in movies that she could not the last time around, when she was almost consistently typecast as a winsome icon of American innocence. She wants to show the people who forgot about her, and the people who never got to know her in the first place, that she can act.
''I don't feel old, but that is what I'm considered,'' she said. ''And when I look around me and see that so many women my age have passed, it scares me.'' She ticked off names like Lee Remick and Audrey Hepburn. She paused, and when she next spoke, her voice was softer. ''I want to take advantage of what I have left.''
''Mother'' tells the story of a grown man, played by Mr. Brooks, who is convinced that he will never find lasting love until he exorcises the demons of his relationship with Mom. So he journeys home, lays claim to his old bedroom and begins a fumbling attempt at reconciliation. Mr. Brooks said he wanted moviegoers to look at the screen and believe it was their own mothers they were seeing. For that reason, he did not want to cast anyone with a long list of similar roles.
''I didn't want somebody saying, 'That's the best mother she's ever played,' '' Mr. Brooks said. ''I wanted a clean slate.'' Better yet, Mr. Brooks added, ''I wanted somebody you hadn't seen in a long time, because I wanted to make it as special as I could.''
