One of my favorite foods is cabbage because it's super versatile, has hardly any calories, is free of wheat and gluten, is great for digestion, and is beautiful in color (purple and green). It tastes awesome in salads, gives us valuable probiotics as pickled sauerkraut, plus it works perfectly as a "shell" to be stuffed with yummy fillings to make a delicious hand held treat. I'm currently reintroducing heart-healthy fats into my diet from flax and chia seeds (omega-3), some nuts (vitamin E and antioxidants), and olives to keep my skin supple and moist, especially now that autumn is upon us. I picked up a bunch of avocados at the Farmers' Market, but am disappointed they didn't make it into my bag!
Today, I filled up a red cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Watch our "How to Chiffonade" video I shot for Vegetarian Times Magazine: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/video/10). Please watch on the Vegetarian Times website to help generate viewer numbers. Thank you!
I'm also embedding it below from my own YouTube channel:
I first filled up my purple cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Next, I layered on a Black Olive Tapenade, from Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, page 155, and Candied Onions, inspired by my Buckwheat-Battered "Fried" Onion Rings, from page 116 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials, plus I added maple syrup to sweeten the onions. I then topped it all with artichoke hearts, and would have added avocado, if I had some on hand.
Black Olive Tapenade
Place all ingredients into food processor, mix well.
Will keep for a week or longer stored in fridge.
Candied Onions
Place all ingredients into mixing bowl. Set aside to marinate and wilt for at least 10 minutes. Add syrup to your liking. I choose to make this sweet! Squeeze excess liquid before using.
Will keep for several days in fridge.
This recipe offers another great way to enjoy greens, and boy do I love dehydrated salad! As a matter of fact, that was exactly how I first discovered Kale Chips, back in Portland, OR, in 1995 or so. After a big catering gig, I had so much marinated kale salad remaining, it would have been a shame to throw it out. Usually, I feed leftovers to Kanga, my pooch, but too much kale's been known to make her poot (stinky!). Instead, I put all the salad into my dehydrators, and was stoked by what I found the next morning! Kale Chips!! It makes me happy to see Kale Chips have gone mainstream today. Finally, a healthy snack enjoyed by the masses!
The texture of these chocolate coated collard leaves is much like the texture of dried cashew cheddar, from my traditional Kale Chips on page 110 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials. (Signed copies of Ani's Raw Food Essentials are available at GoSuperLife.com). Delicate mouth feel, and amazing flavors.
Thanks to everyone for being patient with me, waiting for me to post this recipe after I've completed my next book! Enjoy xo
Chocolate Collards
In high-speed blender, blend all ingredients (except collards) until smooth.
Place collard half leaves into a large bowl, pour chocolate sauce over leaves. Coat each leaf completely.
Place leaves in dehydrator at 104 degrees. Dehydrate for 4 to 6 hours, until dry.
I visited Erewhon Natural Foods in Los Angeles on May 28, 2011 along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. Erewhon is my favorite Raw Food store. These beautiful photos are courtesy of the very talented Sherman Lee at http://www.digitalslimages.com.
Juan Hernandez, the store manager, makes sure to offer the largest range of Raw Food products and brand, and has created the nexus for Raw Foods here in LA. Juan was one of my earliest supporters of my SmartMonkey Foods packaged and prepared foods products.
Each year's visit celebrating my new book always draws a packed house. I love Erewhon!
I showed everyone how easy it is to make my Mushroom "Bul Go Gi", from Ani's Raw Food Asia, page 186, using mushrooms marinated in tamari or nama shoyu (raw soy sauce), toasted sesame oil, asian pear, and sweetener of choice like agave or brown rice syrup. We topped off these beautiful Lettuce Wraps, from page 188, with my version of a traditional Korean Gochujang Sauce, page 225, made with miso, sesame oil, chile powder, and sweetener like agave.
Following my food demo and Q+A…next, I get to sign books and meet people 1 on 1!
This tour, many people had me sign multiple copies of Ani's Raw Food Asia for friends and family. I do love when people bring their entire collection for me to sign too…..a blessing for me.
My friends Ron Gilmore and Caroline Jue create an awesome animated series called Rawman & Green-Girl. They are doing great work educating and sharing information about our food sources.
Elaine R. Johnson hand delivered this beautiful porcelain sculpture she made to me all the way from Arizona with her mom. Elaine is amazingly talented. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for such a beautiful gift.
This is the beautifully talented Elaine R. Johnson. She told me how challenging porcelain is to work with….cracking as it dries, or cracking out of the kiln during baking. A labour of love, it shows!
A super easy salad to make, this is my go to when traveling. Made by massaging avocado into torn leaves of kale and then adding a squeeze of lemon to soften the leaves, and then tossing in sprouts.
Full of vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and antioxidants to combat travel stress (including time zone changes, sitting on airplanes, and living in hotel rooms) while boosting my immune system. I carried this yummy creation onto my last flight from NJ to LA, and took it with me to Las Vegas for my raw food debut at ACAM's medical conference at the Paris Hotel last week, where they served up 5 of my raw food vegan recipes to over 500 doctors!
Kale, Avocado, Sprouts
Into large mixing bowl, place kale and massage with avocado. Squeeze lemon juice, and massage. Add sprouts and salt, if using. Massage and toss to mix well.
Will keep for several hours at room temperature. Store in fridge for a day or 2.
I was invited to the VitaMix headquarters in Cleveland, OH to shoot a 60-minute DVD that will be included in their latest VitaMix Turbo Blend Variable Speed blender. This was a huge honor for me, as you all know how much I love my VitaMix. My family had an early model in our kitchen from the 70s, so I've used the VitaMix my entire life.
The production was shot in a big stadium kitchen where the production crew and VitaMix employees including chefs, food scientists, marketing, and product development filled the stands. I think we shot about 14 or 16 segments in just 2 days! The owner of VitaMix is vegan, so all the recipes are free of dairy and animal products.
Bob Stefanov, the director, was a joy to work with. We had loads of fun and made sure to laugh a lot.
The wonderful team at VitaMix. I am so eager to watch the videos, haven't seen them yet, and friends were telling me they watched it at the VitaMix booth at Expo West last weekend up on a big screen TV. We're planning a big launch at Expo West, so make sure to look for me at the VitaMix booth in March in Anaheim, CA.
The new TurboBlend Variable Speed will be available at natural food stores including Whole Foods Markets. So excited to help launch this new product with VitaMix!!
It was Kanga's 8th 'birthday' and also our anniversary on Labor Day. Each year, I make my darling pooch a heart shaped cake (you may have seen the photo from last year's birthday on page 301 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials). This year, the cake was made with sunflower seeds and a few Medjool dates. Kanga was so eager to eat it, she got green birthday candle wax on the tip of her nose….so cute!
In a blink of an eye, the cake was gone! And, I wonder if you can guess who's in the background with her 'magic' tatoos….hint….London and the UK.
For our birthday ladies' luncheon, I made Jicama Rice, Mexican style by processing Jicama, then adding chopped red bell peppers, onion, corn kernels, cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt. Recipe below…. It was a lunch of British guests, one of whom is a celiac. That means she needs to avoid wheat gluten. I love that about the raw food diet, it's free of wheat, gluten, refined sugar, dairy, and guilt!
I had made myself a beet, parsley, lemon, and cucumber juice earlier that morning, then mixed in the beet pulp with a sunflower pate. I used this pate to stuff poblano peppers, then dehydrated them for a few hours to soften. For a sauce, I blended a simple tahini with lemon juice, salt, splash of water.
This was the dessert my lovely friend Kate Magic made us for dessert! It was made with figs, cacao, coconut, and lucuma…and it was incredible! But this was one course poor Kanga didn't get to try (dogs and cacao don't mix well…chocolate).
Jicama Mexican Rice
Place jicama in food processor, process into small bits. Be careful not to over process. Scoop into mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients, toss to mix well.
Kanga's Birthday Cake
Place sunflower seeds in food processor. Process into small pieces. Add pitted dates, and process. Sunflower will stick together and bind into a cake 'dough'. Form dough into heart, and serve.
Note: Sweets should be served in moderation to dogs, as to humans as well.
If serving to humans or to mix up variations to this recipe, try adding in sea salt, vanilla, cacao / carob, and or goji berries.
I made several smoothies in San Diego on FOX TV including an Almond Buttered Banana Freeze.
Watch my 6-minute video segment here.
Almond Buttered Banana Freeze + Açaí Recipe (adapted from Ani's Raw Food Essentials) Makes 4 servings
Almonds provide calcium, protein, and vitamin E, bananas are loaded with potassium, and açaí is full of antioxidants and healthy omegas. This easy smoothie is a great post workout fuel – it helps increase circulation and blood flow to stressed muscles, while building lean tissue.
Combine the banana, almond butter, and organic Sambazon Açaí Juice in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Best served immediately, but will keep for a couple days in the fridge.
I'm using my favorite blender, the Personal Blender. It costs about $69, and you can find more about the Personal Blender and find organic ingredients at www.GoSuperLife.com.
I was invited onto FOX in San Diego for a 6-minute segment on the benefits of the raw food diet and to talk about the Sambazon Warrior Up Campaign. I made host Raoul Martinez a few smoothies including a Banana Butter Breeze with Cacao. I planned to make him a Tomato Tarragon Bisque, but ran out of time.

Thriller about a group of kidnappers wearing Santa Claus masks and taking a group of kidnapees into a cave ? It could be from the early nineties or thereabouts. I remember very little from this movie. Is there an old man getting shot by a shotgun and falling over an aquarium? There may also have been a scene with the kidnapees swimming to safety through an underwater channel or something.

Thriller about a group of kidnappers wearing Santa Claus masks and taking a group of kidnapees into a cave?
Could it be Fortress? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091069/ Fortress is about a teacher and her students who are kidnapped by thugs wearing masks (one of which looks like Santa Claus). I believe they spend some time in a cave.
Here is a trailer for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FAB_mM5ttU
In a hit and miss way, it sorta sounds like you're mixing Reindeer Games with one or more movies, but I may be wrong.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Master's Student Accepts Summa InternshipPosted Nov. 15, 2012
By Megan Grdina
Kent State graduate student Maria Fazio recently accepted an internship with Summa Center for Corporate Health.Fazio will be revamping Summa's orientation manual for the hospice volunteers.
"Once this task is completed, I will be facilitating the actual training for the summer orientation," said Fazio. "I will also be working on little projects throughout my time there and will be exposed to other departments to really get a feel of what I want to pursue once I graduate."
Fazio is from Worcester, Pennsylvania and attended Pennsylvania State University. Her major was communication arts and sciences with a minor in business. Fazio is in her second year of the College of Communication and Information Master's program at Kent State. Her major is communication studies with an emphasis in health communication and will graduate in May 2013.
Fazio was connected to Summa Health system when she attended the Volunteer/Experiential Learning Fair at Kent State University in September. She will be working in the Hospice and Palliative Care department at St. Thomas Hospital in Akron, Ohio.
Fazio was offered other internship opportunities but Summa seemed like the right fit. Both her grandparents were hospice patients so she understood the importance of it and the process a family goes through.
"I felt this was the best opportunity for me to gain the most hands on experience," said Fazio. "My supervisor is willing to take me to other departments so I can gain exposure to those as well to see what options will be available to me once I graduate."
Fazio decided to go into this field when a professor introduced her to the idea of graduate school. She also completed a breast cancer project when she was an undergraduate in her small group and communication class.
"I was interested in knowing about fear appeal messages and generic messages and how individuals respond to them," said Fazio. "So, I conducted a breast cancer campaign on campus, ran my research project, sold homemade breast cancer ribbons and gave out informational pamphlets and brochures. All money collected was donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation. So essentially, this project sparked my interest in health communication."
Earning her undergraduate and master's degrees in communication studies has allowed Fazio to gain significant knowledge of the field, especially as it relates to health.
"By completing an internship, I felt this would be the best way for me to apply my knowledge base and turn it into practical use," said Fazio. "I wanted an opportunity where I could use and apply my knowledge to better serve the health industry, and I feel I can do this with my internship at Summa."

Apple airs first iPhone 4S commercial, focuses on Siri
Apple has aired their first iPhone 4S commercial and it's all about Siri, their new artificially intelligent voice control system. In the commercial, Siri is told:
- "We have a flat tire."
- "How do I tie a bow tie again?"
- "What's the fastest way to Hartford Hospital?"
- "Do I need an umbrella in New York this weekend?"
- "Call Chris when I get home."
- "Move my meeting from 3 to 4."
- "What does a weasel look like?"
- "Remind me to get milk when I leave work."
- "Tell my wife I'm going to make it."
- "Wake me up at 6."
- "Play some Coltrane."
- "I'm locked out." To which Siri replies, "I found 3 locksmiths close to you."
Highlighting Siri comes as no surprise, as a significant number of iPhone 4 commercials focused on the magic of FaceTime, and Siri is this year's big "wow" demo. (Perhaps the new camera will be next?)

Apple airs first iPhone 4S commercial, focuses on Siri
apparently yes...
i just wanna know, have anyone tested to tell siri to write down something?
example, i am doing a stock check on a warehouse,
i only say, "write down this on the Notes app" "5 iPads" "10 iPhones",etc.
can she do something like that?
i cant wait to test it myself, but iphone 4s is still not yet avalaible to Indonesian Customer.
Unfortunately you can't really do many of those things if you are outside the USA…! :(
If I tell German Siri that I've locked myself out the reply is "Okay". Um, thanks for nothing, Siri…
Let's hope that Apple adds places, maps and services to other localizations real zoo, until then Siri is only half as useful…
I'm sure it will come to iPhone 4 in the next update.
I tried all these commands, and many don't work for me (I'm in the US) so i have to wonder if i have settings wrong. it won't tie a reminder to a location automatically, the bow tie thing is a web search (acceptable) and i get no weasel pictures.
Where have you been? It came out 10/14! Longer than 6 days, even a week ago when you posted!

. . .Getting to know all about you," are part of the lyrics from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical "The King and I." To me these words can well apply to the town you live in as well as the people you live with. And that process can pay many dividends. I should know. In Jim's 25-year Air Force career we moved 22 times.
When we arrived in a new town I immediately did two things: took the local newspaper so I could get the flavor of the place and took the first tour I could find so I could taste it for myself. The more I learned about where I lived, the more I enjoyed my stay.
This process was what caused me to fall in love with local history. In school, history was far from my favorite subject. Somehow the machinations of the Holy Roman Empire never stirred me as much as the tales which could only stem from where I lived. When we moved to Summerville I started working for this newspaper, followed by working for the Town. I began learning about and getting to know – and love – Summerville that first day. After 35 years I'm still learning, and still loving.
The exciting thing to me is that now I get to share my town – and yours – on a person-to-person basis, by being one of the tour guides on the newly minted Sweet Tea Trolley Tours. The tours were preceded by the Chamber's work to have Summerville officially branded as the Birthplace of Sweet Tea, and the subsequent establishment of the Sweet Tea Trail on which people can drive through our area independently. With the tours, residents and visitors alike can be personally escorted to and through the history and beauty of our Flower Town in the Pines.
What will tour-goers learn? You'll hear the plain, unvarnished truth about bell tower romances; the answer to the near-scandalous mystery in the prophetically named Tea Pot grocery; and why much of the Town's origins are contained in its three-word official seal, "Sacra Pinus Esto."
Then there's 78, 166, and 383. These are the numbers of years that answer some of the queries posed on the tour. Other questions clear up why and how Summerville became an international tourist – and health destination – in the early 1900s, and why presidents and national celebrities came here to imbibe in our once luxurious inns. You'll also get to visit the wonderful garden of one of those inns' descendants – a delightful B&B.
And keeping with the Town's new theme, you'll hear why we really are the Birthplace of Sweet Tea – and get to see where that took place. There's also fun, laughter and prizes included. To learn how to reserve your place on one of the upcoming tours scheduled for the third Friday of every month through December, visit www.lowcountrylooptrolley.com. Or call the Visitor Center at 873-2931 for more information. The next tours are on August 16.
Rogers and Hammerstein surely didn't have Summerville in mind when they wrote this "King and I" song some six decades ago. But I can't help but end with more of those lyrics as they couldn't be more appropriate to underscore our hopes for sharing our town through these tours:
"Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea."

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 9 Spoilers: What's Damon Doing With That Ax?
That Gilbert lake house ax certainly makes the rounds in Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 9, "O Come All Ye Faithful," doesn't it? First, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) chops some wood, then Damon (Ian Somerhalder) gets a hold of it.
We saw the promo photo of the vampire holding the weapon earlier, but Entertainment Tonight Online has a behind-the-scenes picture that reveals more details. Joining Damon on the dock is Elena (Nina Dobrev) (all bundled up in a blanket) and Professor Shane (David Alpay).
Do you think this is the end of Bonnie's (Kat Graham) mentor? The synopsis says the prof drops an ancient knowledge bomb on them.
Think it has anything to do with Jeremy's hunter tattoo and the vamp-hate that keeps compelling him to kill his sister?

I've been doing these "trays" for a long time now, mostly on hollydays, at the beach house when you got time to spare and there's nothing to put your ashes in.
Be really carefull while doing this instructable, i cut myself last week and i couldn't advise you enough to ask a grown-up for help if you're not comfortable with cissors and metal (even if you are 26 like me ;))
And please excuse my style/orthographe : i did my best but english isn't my birth language ;).
Well, let's get started with these very easy steps.
Step 1: Find a soda can, a pair of scissors and let's cut the top of the can out.
Step 2: Clean cut of the top and cutting of the "petals"
The tip to achieve that is to pinch the can to mark the two opposite sides and then cut the remaining side in 2.
May not be clear, but i think that images are self explanatory.
As soon as you cut the side following halves, quarters and heights, you should get 16 petals that we are going to spread out.
Step 3: Spreading and folding the petals.
To be able to "finish" the folding of the whole petals, remember not to mark the fold of the first petal (so that you can insert the last one underneath).
I have very original wow interesting Imagenes graciosas
nice and cool
It looks like a good dish for sweets/chocolates etc.

Associated Press
CLEMSON Freshman Adonis Filer scored a career high 21 points on a perfect shooting performance and fueled a 27-4 first-half run that carried Clemson to its 15th straight victory over Citadel 92-51 on Tuesday.
Filer had three 3-pointers and 10 points during the surge, which turned a tight game into a blowout for the Tigers (8-4).
Citadel (3-8) lost its seventh straight on the season. The Bulldogs, though, hung with their Atlantic Coast Conference opponents early on as Dylen Setzekorns arching 3-pointer drew them within a basket, 18-16, with 10:01 left before halftime.
Thats when Filer and the Tigers got going on their back-breaking run. He opened the charge with a three as Clemson took control over the next eight minutes. Filer added two more 3-pointers and when he closed the run on a foul shot, the Tigers were ahead 45-20 and cruising.
Filer was 7 of 7 from the field. He lone miss came at the foul line, where he was 3 of 4.
Mike Groselle had 13 points to lead the Citadel, which finished with a season high 25 turnovers. Setzekorn added 11 points for the Bulldogs.
Jordan Roper had 13 points and Damarcus Harrison 10 for the Tigers.
Clemsons leading scorer, Devin Booker, finished with just 8 points, although he did not play most of the second half after turning his left ankle after a dunk.
Booker, a 6-foot-8 senior, iced the ankle. The injury was not considered serious.
Clemson finished its pre-Atlantic Coast Conference schedule with a dominant showing over the Citadel. Not that things came easily. The Tigers second-leading scorer, K.J. McDaniels, was late to a team gathering and did not start for the first time this season. The Bulldogs, who trailed Georgia Tech 20-3 early in in their last game, stuck with the Tigers the first 10 minutes.
Filer got the Tigers going after that and Clemson finished with a season-high in points.
Citadel showed the fatigue that comes from a months worth of away games. The Bulldogs havent played at home since a loss to Radford on Nov. 24 to start their on-going losing streak.
There were five losses, all on the road, in December by an average deficit of 25 points.
Once Clemson turned up its defensive pressure, The Citadel fell apart once again.
Clemson scored 25 points off 13 first-half Bulldog turnovers.
Rod Hall had a season-high four steals in the opening half for the Tigers. Clemson shot 63.3 percent (19 of 30) in the opening period against the Citadel.
Things wont likely be this simple come Saturday when Clemson starts ACC play against Florida State.

Owens staging 'Trailer Park Musical'Written by John Dorsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Owens Community College's latest theater production handles many of the clichés of trailer park life by balancing the drama of the human spirit with a plenty of laughs. David Nehls' and Betsy Kelso's acclaimed comedy "The Great American Trailer Park Musical" is returning to our area for a two-week run at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts starting April 4.
The production features Amber Breault-Albain, Jeremy Wilkes, Morgan Brunsman, Paula Larsen, Emily Pheils, Alyson Phillips, Christopher Smith, Drew Young, Darian Hacker, Dalton Elza, Kasia Varsak and Devon Held. Jeremy Meier is directing.
"When we consider any piece for production we're looking for something that addresses the interests of our student body, our designers, and the community. We also look at things like cast size, and any challenges the material might bring in terms of our space. We handled what could have been very sensitive subject matter in terms of its use of cultural stereotypes by celebrating the characters eccentricities. You're dealing with agoraphobia, the potential end of a marriage, the piece has a real human element to it, and at the same time it's totally outrageous and silly," said Meier.
Nehls' musical, based on Kelso's book, appeared at the First Annual New Music Theater Festival in 2004 and was produced Off-Broadway at Bows at Dodger Stages the following year. It was previously produced in our area as part of a benefit for Toledo School for the Arts.
"This piece is fairly contemporary and has a number of connections to pop culture and anytime you deal with something like that things can change, their cultural meaning can change, with that in mind we've expanded it creating a special pre-show to be staged 15 minutes before the opening of the original piece featuring the Starke, Florida Welcoming Committee. If you look at the history of Starke, where the musical takes place, it's very strange, it's where Ted Bundy was executed and the local economy there is largely dependent on the corrections system, the area almost becomes a character in the play in and of itself," Meier said.
Show dates are April 4, 5, 11, 12 at 7:30pm and April 6 and 13 at 3pm. General admission tickets are $12. Faculty, students and alumni can attend for $8. The production features adult language and themes and is recommended for a mature audience.

For clarification, this isn't checking if the value is the default value, it's checking if the property is. The description wasn't as clear as the notes in return. For example:
class A{
public $foo = 'bar';
$a = new A();
$a->foo = 'nope';
$a->new_prop = 'Hello World';
// assume $a_ref_* are your reflection property classes
echo $a_ref_foo->isDefault(); // TRUE even though we changed the value, the property is a default property
echo $a_ref_new_prop->isDefault();// FALSE we added the new_prop property, it's not default

Last week's debate on the Google driverless car raged across Forbes, auto sites and Google +, yet I found little in the discussion to convince me that this is Google's opportunity.
Last week I said the idea of a Google driverless is nonsense and I repeat it – Google will not be a force in autos. In fact I'd go further and say I doubt this is a disruptive innovation. It is happening incrementally, now.
But what Google has done, through intense lobbying and publicity, is pave the way beautifully for BMW, Mercedes and Volvo to launch autonomous cars in 2014. Yes, 2014 (go here for information on 4 almost autonomous cars you can drive today).
Within two years these major European manufacturers, particularly BMW and Mercedes who sell upmarket cars and have the margin to innovate, will have all the components of an automated car on the road, in production vehicles.
For example, to quote the World Future's Society: "BMW plans to extend that idea in its upcoming i3 series of electric cars, whose traffic-jam feature will let the car accelerate, decelerate, and steer by itself at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour—as long as the driver leaves a hand on the wheel."
And: "Mercedes is equipping its 2013 model S-Class cars with a system that can drive autonomously through city traffic at speeds up to 25 m.p.h."
The S-Class will sport a stereo camera on the windshield to peer ahead in 3D, short- and long-range radar in front and rear, and short-range radar on the sides. Twelve ultrasonic sensors will detect objects very close to the car—during self-parking, for example. And added to external sensors, the S-Class will have internal sensors to monitor drivers.
And the other types of things that will happen, down the range, are more automated braking, more collision avoidance, more safety, more incremental change that began as as long ago as the early 2000s and whose R&D history spans back to the 1980s.
So why won't these car makers go to Google? To understand that better I talked last week to Richard Bishop who appeared on Twitter commenting on my post and Chunka's. A good thing too.
He is a former head of the US intelligent highways program and oversaw public trials of driverless cars in the 1990s. Since then he has been consulting in this area to car companies and Governments.
1. The don't need Google
The German car makers are using different technology. Here's a brief description of the technology."The (Google) system combines information gathered from Google Street View with artificial intelligence software that combines input from video cameras inside the car, a LIDAR sensor on top of the vehicle, radar sensors on the front of the vehicle and a position sensor attached to one of the rear wheels that helps locate the car's position on the map."
But Richard points out that most car manufacturers are not dependent on complex databases and retrieval. They use sensor technology to recognize what is around them.
That provokes me to ask, might Google be setting itself up for the wrong project. Its system relies on rich data maps, which can also be created by its laser technology, so it looks like a great "organize the world's information" project. But maybe not that necessary for cars. However, there is no doubting it could have a role in freight distribution for when you get used to the idea of lorries on the highways with no driver!
2. They already do great, safe software.
Automated safety technology is in the DNA of Tier 1 suppliers like Bosch who brought the world the first advanced braking systems. They have years of experience in creating safe software for cars, according to Richard Bishop, and they test the hell out of it. Before automated cars go down the car range to mid-market luxury car makers will have more years of experience and data. Bosch is offering its automated driver technology for 2014, also.
3. Google has a poor record outside search and ads
Google's great moment was its first – monetizing content through search related ads. But its record of pulling off further disruptive change since then has been poor. Android is an exception but is Google the real beneficiary there? Samsung benefits. So does Amazon. As do HTC and ZTE.
Google's extra-curricular projects appear more designed to boost its information businesses and in cars it might just want the opportunity to organize the world's spatial information at a deeper level of granularity than it can right now. Can that goal produce a competitive enough product?
What I read into last week's debate is that people are thirsty for some disruption and opportunity. Sorry, but this isn't it.

KERMIT - Newly elected Kermit City Council member Tammy Preece Hodge said she "wants to paint city hall pink" following Tuesday's election that created a council equally divided along gender lines.
Municipal elections took place throughout Mingo County Tuesday, with most candidates running unopposed, and city governments unchanged by election results. Voter turnouts were very light in Matewan and Williamson.
However, a contested mayoral race and council election brought Kermit voters out to the polls.
"We had a more than 100 percent turnout," Mayor Johnny Linville said, explaining that there were seven provisional votes.
A provisional ballot is a used when a voter's right to request a ballot has been challenged by the poll clerk. Reasons for this may include the voter's registration record is not available at the time of the election, the signature written by the person in the poll book does not correspond with the signature on the registration record or other if the registration record indicates any other legal disqualifications.
While there are 246 registered voters in Kermit, Linville said there were 246 votes cast.
"We had a good clean election," Linville said. "There was no dirt thrown, and I appreciate that."
The mayor won his race against Tim Crum by an almost 3-to-1 margin.
The freshman councilperson, Tammy Hodge, comes from a family tradition of public service. Tammy is the daughter John Preece, who served as mayor, as did her grandmother, the late Callie Preece, the town's only female mayor. Tammy's uncle, Wallace Miller, also served as Kermit mayor.
"I have always been intrigued by politics," Hodge said. "I have known the incumbents since I was child, I'm looking forward to working with them."
Hodge said Mayor Linville and the council had done a lot of good things for the town.
"If I can be half the public servant my family members have been, I will be happy," she said. "I want to make sure there is good communication, that we get input from everyone, and make sure everyone is on the same page."
Hodge said she wants to work toward creating recreational opportunities for the young people of the community.
"We have the Kermit Area Youth Athletic Association," Hodge said. "They are really great. I want to work get some funds, some grants maybe, we need activities for the youth."
Hodge said she felt great things were attainable if elected officials work together.
"I want us all to share our ideas and visions," she said. "It's our duty to do what is best and what is right for our town."

Jessica Biel's Favorite Part of Marriage to Justin Timberlake? Naked Swimming
Forget the two kids and that white-picket fence. Jessica Biel's favorite thing about domestic life is having a partner-in-crime for late-night skinny dipping adventures.
In a recent interview with Elle magazine, the newly married actress shared some of the perks of being Mrs. Timberlake.
Some of the highlights? "Having someone... to share the ups and downs [of life] with [and] have adventure with," Jessica said. "Someone to go swimming naked with — that kind of thing."
Oh, right. That kind thing.
Thankfully, taking part in skinny dipping adventures isn't the only thing Justin is good for.
"He bakes pies," Jessica added. "He's Southern, so he's got all this influence from his grandma. He does a three-layer pie... and blueberry crunch cake, which is pretty unbelievable. It doesn't happen all that often, thank god. Otherwise, it would be a big problem."
Sounds like a keeper to us!

The Tribune and the Surry County Economic Development Partnership, Inc. announced today a joint effort to spotlight local manufacturing businesses in Elkin and surrounding communities.
The spotlight will be featured in The Tribune monthly.
The Surry County Development Partnership works in collaboration with existing businesses in Surry County, a county they say is on the edge of being one of the fastest growing metropolitian areas of eastern coast states.
"Many companies right now are sitting on product pressure and that could mean acquisition or growth," expressed Todd Tucker, president of the economic development team. "Some may expand quickly, and some may over time, but we have to do all we can to help them.
Spotlighting many of the business in our backyard is a great way to connect the local community too," continued Tucker.
LeeAnn Stokes, vice president of Surry County Economic Development Partnership, Inc. will spearhead the Tribune/local business effort and help open the doors for an inside and behind-the-scenes look by The Tribune at manufactuing facilities and other related businesses.
The spotlight will include employment vacancies and types of skills necessary to fill any position, thus giving a leg-up to local residents who may be unfamiliar with such employment opportunities.
"Having a business spotlight is a great idea," said Stokes. "We see a ton of potential from Surry County businesses."
On a 2013 economic outlook, Tucker expressed that Surry has a tremendous amount of positive stories unfolding for the year too. "Each one is unique and the partnership has to stay involved to help find the answers.
"A spotlight is a great tool, because it helps educate the community on what's being produced here, and it fills jobs," stated Tucker. "Anytime you can put people to work, that's a good thing."

I just love this scent!! My skin is so soft and smell so fresh!! I used it everyday and I can't go out without the aroma of this lotion!! ;)

My MOST favorite!
This is by far my most favorite scent - the "Eucalyptus Hand Lotion". I would describe the scent as fresh and clean AND it can be used on the entire body. I've had people stop me and ask me what type of cologne I was wearing - "no cologne just Thymes Eucalyptus"! I've also purchased it for gifts for friends and they love it too! You just have to try it...
I'm in Heaven with Thymes
A long time ago a friend gave me some lotion from Thymes....I loved it but couldn't remember the name of the product, only that it smelled wonderful like eucalyptus. Recently this friend came into view and reminded me of the lotion which I bought immediately....and love it all over again.
Now my sweetheart of seven years does not like fragrances and prefers I not wear them....however, when I just used this cream around my neck and arms, guess what?....he started complimenting me on how good I smell! How is that for a recommendation?
I'm in heaven with Thymes.
Eucalyptus Hand Lotion!
I simply love the eucalyptus hand lotion!
I use it on my hands and arm mostly, but also use it on my neck, so it gives me the moisture I so need this time of year, and the fragrance stays with me for hours of loviness! Mmmmmmmmmm!
What a Great Gift! Even for Yourself!
The order came just like I would expect it to. In a nice box and looking like something important. You can tell it is not a cheap scent. It smells clean, fresh and the memories are right there. What a great thing to share with friends and loved ones.
If you don't have any memories yet--this is the time to make them. I am a home builder and I am still surprised every time someone asks what that great smell is on me. When I tell them it is Thymes Eucalyptus, they are instantly hooked. I have never seen anything like it. Great stuff!

Is it just me or do you get lost around here and cant find posts? I swear I spend so much time trying to remember where certain things are or were and often cant find them lolIm a messkept
If you missed it, when looking at unread topics, the button is not just an indicator, if you click on it, it will take you to the last unread post in that thread.Blessings
You need FORUM GPS :)
Hi HollyI am surprised you did not know that.
Taffy, I just love your pix additions, LOL.........
Hey Guys..Really makes no difference for mine....I struggle on every board
I told yall one time that "on HERE" I have to go "backwards." The last page is always NUMBER ONE!! If the thread has twenty pages, the First Page will be Number twenty! Now, how's "that"for getting lost. Yes miss a lot, don't have "time" for it all anyway! Just scavenging aroundbut I did want to at least "speak" to:
Awww thanks.......I LOVE flowers.......my flower gardens are my quiet time with Lord sometimes. That's why I hate winter; I have to watch what I worked on for 7 months die. I can't imagine how God must feel......
...there I can subscribe to threads I find interesting without having to post to make it easier to find next time. They use a "user CP" that helps alot. Gotta say though, that the need to search for things has an end in itself, you end up finding a lot more topics of interest.

The Eye of the Beholder
"I selected Francisco Martinez' work for first prize because the young artist created a compelling and timely image with an economy of means. In positioning a section of a chain-link fence over his self-portrait, Francisco sets up a visual tension that suggests many possible meanings, such as referencing the current strife along the Mexico/Texas border or looking at psychological imprisonment of the self. Additionally, in combining disparate materials, Francisco goes beyond one's usual expectations for a print, proving his ability to think outside the box." -David S. Rubin, Brown Foundation Curator of Contemporary Art, San Antonio Museum of Art [Read More]

I finally found a website that consolidates a decent amount of information on PIH, pre-e, and eclampsia into one page.
I wanted to run my understanding and experiences past everyone here and see what you all think since it seems that a third of the posts revolve around "when are we going to deliver this baby?!?!"
Pre-e is broken out into mild and severe.
Mild is generally defined by the following symptoms: two BP readings 140/90 or higher 6 hours apart, headache, visual disturbances, epigastric pain, hand and foot edema (least reliable since edema is absent 33% of the time).
Severe pre-e is generally defined as REFRACTORY (stubborn) BP readings over 160/110, more than 5 grams of protein in urine per 24 hours, urine output decreased to less than 500 ml in 24 hours, increased serum creatinine, decreased platelet count, and Pulmonary edema.
Delivery gestational age goals:
1. Mild Preeclampsia
1. Delivery by 40 weeks if unfavorable cervix
2. Delivery at 38 weeks if favorable cervix
2. Severe Preeclampsia
1. Delivery after 32 to 34 weeks
2. Based on Fetal Lung Maturity
3. Severe refractory Preeclampsia with signs morbidity
1. Delivery in <24 hours regardless of gestational age
So it seems to me that we have a couple of different issues in play when a doctor decides if today is the day to induce / c-section. First is the word REFRACTORY - by whose definition? Some doctors are saying that two readings over that mark combined with protein in the urine are severe pre-e. Other doctors seem to think that you are still mild if they can get you relaxed and get that number back under 160/110. Some doctors seem fixated on edema as if you can't have pre-e without having swelling but this is clearly shown to be a POOR indication of pre-e. Also, in my experience, the OB would only do a "dip strip" for protein in the urine instead of a 24 hour urine test. I would think that they would do a 24 hour urine the minute they suspect pre-e and anytime your BP goes up or your symptoms get worse.
Lastly, there is the whole issue with the "lay on your left side" thing. A blood pressure taken on the right arm of someone who is lying down on their left side is a worthless and invalid BP reading. The preferred position is sitting up, feet on the floor, cuff equal level to the heart, no talking or moving. I have simply lost all respect for any medical professional who even suggests that you are fine if they can "control your BP" by taking your BP reading like this.
What I walk away from here is the 38 week mark. If you have pre-e, are 38 weeks or later, and your cervix is favorable, I do not understand why a doctor would wait. Once you get into the realm of severe pre-e, it seems to all come down to lung maturity - get them out as soon as the lungs are done.
So that is my take on things. I am not a medical professional and by no means an expert. This is just my research and experience being summed up in a single post.
Anyone care to comment, add, refute, or correct?

Chapter 1: Quickstart Tutorial – Photo Real Gallery Scene – This chapter is an immediate fix for those who are impatient to get photo-realistic rendered SketchUp scenes. Straight away you will learn how to model the gallery scene, fix up lighting, add materials, add a photo background, and finally render in Kerkythea.
Chapter 2: Plug in and Gear Up – Did you know that by downloading a few free plugins and other software you can turn SketchUp into a free fully functional 3D visualization and animation suite similar to high end commercial software? Follow this chapter to obtain all the goodies.
Chapter 3: Composing the Scene – In this chapter you will learn how to take the hard work out of modeling by setting up your scenes prior to starting work. You will learn how to start from CAD plans, site images, or Google Earth and build the scene optimized for quick rendering or animation later.
Chapter 4: Modeling for Visualization – SketchUp is so easy to use that we're tempted to jump right in and model everything. But this can lead to ineffective presentation later and large polygon counts, which slow the computer. This chapter leads through some of the professional modeling methods you need to learn to save you time and hassle, and to make photo-real rendering a cinch.
Chapter 5: Doing It Up (How to Apply Materials and Photo-textures) – Most visualizers are crazy enough to use the materials bundled with rendering software. But this methodology was developed during the ice age! Now that we all have digital cameras and access to unlimited free online image resources, we have a far more effective way of "dressing" the model. The tutorials in this chapter show you how to use SketchUp's unique photo and material handling tools to create ultra-real textured models mega easily.
Chapter 6: People, Trees, Furniture, and Things – Now that you've created the scene, modeled the buildings, and applied materials, you can add life to the scene with Entourage. Learn how to find the best free people, foliage, vehicles, and furniture online, and better still learn how to easily create your own with the foolproof methods in this chapter. In no time you'll be able to build up a comprehensive library to use or give/sell to others.
Chapter 7: Artistic Techniques – Exporting images from SketchUp is not the end of the process. Combining several image layers in GIMP, a powerful free photo editing suite, you will learn how to simulate sketchy pencil and watercolor styles. Fans of these methods will be pleased to know the famous Dennis Technique is presented in this chapter along with Dennis's own creations.
Chapter 8: Photo-realistic Rendering – Here the amazing Kerkythea introduced in Chapter 1 and 2 is explored in more depth, giving you the skills and confidence to tackle any rendering project. A hassle-free method of working is introduced along with proven best settings for test renders and final outdoor and indoor scenes. This chapter covers everything you need to get professional photo-realistic renders from your SketchUp model that you'll be personally amazed with.
Chapter 9: Image Compositing and After-effects – The rendering process isn't the end of the line, because there are lots of subtle but important after-effects you can apply to make the image even more effective. This chapter covers how to add reflections without rendering, creating depth of field effects from a depth render, adjusting levels for realistic daylight scenes, and compositing real and rendered images.
Chapter 10: Animated Flyovers and Walkthroughs – The crowning glory of your visualization project is likely to be a rendered or artistic-style animation. The tutorials in this chapter will take you through this step by step, showing you how to create storyboards, set up cameras and paths in SketchUp with extra plugin functionality, export test animations and final renders. Photo-real animations are then composited to make a simple show reel.
Chapter 11: Combining It All in Layout – Layout is bundled as part of SketchUp Pro and is introduced in this final chapter for those who wish to explore the free trial before committing to Pro. You will learn how to bring together SketchUp models and artistic or rendered output into a screen presentation or printed portfolio, adding borders, text and dimensions.

I believe there's some discussion on the mailing list about using Ognl to handle it automatically. I didn't follow it in detail, but from what I know, (do correct me if I'm wrong) the Ognl method is not available yet. The above works for now.
Feedback, comments and suggestions on better methods to perform the same function are welcome. If there's a simpler way, or a customised component to handle this tabular input automatically, I believe it'll be very useful.

S.A.F.E. Training
Help make the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh a safer and more welcoming place for LGBTQ+ community by participating in S.A.F.E. Training (Students, Staff and Faculty for Equality). Members take part in a three hour interactive workshop designed to introduce you to LGBTQ+ Culture and some of the challenges that many LGBTQ+ people encounter in their lives.
Our training prepares you to become an ally. Trained members will receive our coveted S.A.F.E. triangle to display as a sign of support. This triangle is noticed by LGBTQ+ students faculty and staff and allies all across campus as a symbol of support and commitment to our LGBTQ+ Community.
Our S.A.F.E. program is co-sponsored by the LGBTQ Education & Advocacy Council, Rainbow Alliance for HOPE, and the LGBTQ Resource Center. This program is in place at UW Oshkosh to identify individuals who are willing to be a source of support for people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities in our campus community.
Our main focus is to provide support for students; however, we hope that this initiative would support LGBTQ+ and questioning faculty and staff as well.
Currently, over 1300 students, faculty and staff members at UW Oshkosh are identified as allies with a S.A.F.E. triangle on their resident hall doors, office doors or in their workplaces. The training teaches a basic understanding of LGBTQ+ lives and how to be an effective ally both in and out of the classroom.
If you become a volunteer, this symbol could identify you as a LGBTQ+ ally and may encourage students, staff and faculty to confide in you. It will also identify you as someone who makes your workplace or resident hall more LGBTQ+ friendly. We do not expect S.A.F.E. members to provide counseling but instead to provide an open and affirming environment.
- Be Sensitive to various identities of our students, faculty and staff.
- Understand the challenges of being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning in a predominately heterosexual society.
- Confront homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia in all its guises through educational means.
- Provide support to LGBTQ+ students, staff and faculty.
- Promote and acknowledge safe places for LGBTQ+ individuals.
- Increase awareness of self-defined LGBTQ+ allies.
Schedule for Fall 2015:
- Sunday, October 4, 2015, 6:00-9:00 PM in Reeve 215 (open session for students)
- Monday, October 5, 2015, 11:30-2:30 PM in Reeve 215 (open session for faculty & staff)
- Tuesday, October 6, 2015, 3:00-6:00 PM in Reeve 215 (open session for faculty & staff)
- Sunday, October 11, 2015, 6:00-9:00 PM in Reeve 215 (open session for students)

Women's Golf Coach
Patrick Daugherty
- Head Coach
- (1st year, 4th year on WU staff)
- BS, Western Oregon University
- Sparks 202
- (503) 370-6219 voice
- firstname.lastname@example.com
Patrick Daugherty has been hired as the head coach of the men's and women's golf teams at Willamette University. Daugherty served as the assistant men's and women's golf coach at Willamette during the past three seasons. He will assume his new responsibilities immediately.
"I'm extremely excited," Daugherty said about becoming the head coach. "We have been building a foundation for both our men's and women's golf programs for the last three years and I think this year we will really see the impact of that."
Although it's a move up from assistant coach to head coach, Daugherty doesn't anticipate too many changes in his list of duties.
"I will be making more administrative decisions," Daugherty commented. "My coaching duties still stay the same: I will continue to push for excellence in a positive environment. I will continue to expect that our players act accordingly and represent Willamette University and their team in a positive way."
As an assistant coach for the Bearcats, Daugherty traveled to most of the tournaments for the men's and women's teams. When both teams were competing on the same day at different sites, he would travel with one team and former Head Coach Noah Horstman would travel with the other. As a result, Daugherty received experience leading one team by himself at two or three tournaments each year.
"I feel very comfortable traveling with one or both teams," Daugherty said. "What excites me most is that I get to teach young adults and make a positive impact on them. I look forward to being a positive role model and motivator to both teams. And, of course, there is more than a little excitement I feel getting to (be a head) coach at the collegiate level. This is something I have been preparing for over the past 10 years, and I am very blessed to have this opportunity."
Daugherty attended Western Oregon University and graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology.
He has been an employee at several golf courses in Oregon. He has worked in the golf shop at Salem Golf Club since August of 2012. Previously, he gained experience at the Willow Lake Golf Center, the OGA Golf Course and Illahe Hills Country Club. He worked in customer services at Willow Lake, was the director of player services and assistant golf professional at the OGA, and served as the outside service director and golf shop assistant at Illahe Hills.
"I am delighted to introduce Patrick as the next leader of Bearcat golf," Director of Athletics David Rigsby said. "His commitment to teaching, coaching, and Willamette University have prepared him well for the position."
Willamette competes in NCAA Division III and is a member of the Northwest Conference. In 2012-13, the Bearcat women's team tied for third place in the overall NWC standings, while the men's team finished in sixth place.
Tune in to the Bearcat Network and watch live webcasts for select competitions and see live stats for nearly all Bearcat competitions. You can also find social media links like Facebook and twitter, rss feeds and video archives.

Coweta County Blue defeated Coweta County Red 9-4 in the championship game of the double-elimination tournament.
The action was originally scheduled for the Central Recreation Complex off of Ga. 18, which is where Gray Station plays its home games, but it was moved at the last minute due to a conflict with a youth football tournament being held at the Ga. 18 complex. The Ga. 49 complex is where Clifton Ridge plays its home games.
The Gray Station girls were 3-2 in the tournament, beating Mount de Sales 10-0, losing to Coweta Blue 7-4, beating East Laurens 9-2, beating Clifton Ridge 11-1 and losing to Coweta Red 11-0.
Clifton Ridge beat East Laurens 7-3, lost to Coweta Red 6-2, beat Mount de Sales 11-1 and lost to Gray Station 11-1.
Gray Station coach Mandy Vaughn said the tournament was a good opportunity to give her players a chance to work together and for some of them to try out new positions before the start of the regular season, which was scheduled to begin with a game at Crawford County on Tuesday. The Lady Hounds' first home game is Thursday at 4:30 p.m. against Byron.

{Guest} Damaris West
Skolthan – Witches, magic & mystery by Damaris West
Skolthan is a book about an island. In a sense it's an island within an island within an island because an isolated community goes all out to defend a physical island (based on real life), while within and beyond that physical island is a place so wonderfully beautiful, tranquil and perfect that evil forces wish to get hold of it and corrupt it so that they'll have destroyed the goodness at the heart of the universe itself.
I was inspired to write the book by the original island on which it's based, which is Scolt Head Island off the coast of North Norfolk. It's uninhabited, apart from a Warden looking after the birds, and you reach it either on foot at low tide, or by boat. It has golden sands and white-winged terns like I describe.
My protagonist Hilda is a reclusive alter ego who lives in a tumbledown house on the site of a bungalow where we spent family holidays until I was about 6, on the seaward side of Holme-by-the-sea. I remember so clearly the shimmering heat on the marsh, and finding everything interesting, mysterious and timeless.
The evil characters in the book reflect the fact that eccentric people are readily absorbed into a Norfolk village. My characters have the hypocrisy as well as the wickedness to want to take over the whole world for their own purposes which are essentially negative, much like Lucifer's. There could be no more sinister job for a snatcher and sacrificer of babies than a midwife.
In the climax of the book, I wanted to show that in their effort to preserve good, the good people almost tip themselves over into evil. It's not a happy ending exactly, but I think it's an appropriate one.
I would hope that people would read my book both for its strong atmosphere and the power and mystery of its storyline. After all, the 'good' people are made up of a bunch of semi-impoverished coastal-dwellers, holders of a secret which they can impart to no-one else, not even their spouses. The equivalent of their combating the witches and warlocks might be the waving of a rather thin stick at the advance of a tank.
I wrote the book while I was working alongside my husband as Director of a Tuition Agency. I was determined to allow myself time to write, so I set aside Fridays for that purpose. They were not always respected, but I did try. We actually called those days 'wobbly cat' days because I did my writing on a laptop which required many attempts and much patience to get started; the customised start screen which I was trying to reach was a cat that sort of shivered.
Written just on Fridays, and including some drastic cutting and revision, the book took me 2 to 3 years. The most difficult part was definitely picking up the threads when I'd had a week to totally forget where I was.
The title 'Skolthan' obviously derives from 'Scolt'. I wanted it to have an Anglo-Saxon or Viking ring about it because it's on the East coast. The cover design is a composite of some of the elements of magic and mystery found in its pages.
I did a lot of research for the book, mainly for individual scenes so that I knew how to make elderflower wine, and how much would be left of a human body after it has been burnt. My evil forces are fairly original so I didn't have to check them against anything, but I did do research about talismans, leylines, dream sightings and the like so these would line up with people's experience of reading about them.
The main thing I learnt from the actual writing of the book is that it's important for me to write where possible 'in a rush', so I don't waste time picking up the threads of my thought. I also found out how much I enjoy writing about evil characters.
I would say to my readers: bear with the scene-setting at the beginning as it's definitely going somewhere!
Review: "So if you love Witches, magic and all the rituals that go with it then this book is for you."
About the Author
Damaris West (born Damaris Naylor) was brought up in Cambridge, but it is her family's property near the sea in Norfolk, where they went for every holiday and all the weekends they could manage, which has inspired much of her writing. It was a row of four farm labourers' cottages with three-quarters of an acre of land, and to her it was the Garden of Eden.
Following gaining a degree in Modern Languages at Oxford, she went on to train as a librarian and then as a Montessori nursery teacher.
After meeting her husband, Clive, she used her skills and knowledge to home-tutor pupils with ages ranging from three to eighty. When it became clear that demand for tuition exceeded what they were jointly able to offer, they set up a tuition agency which over the course of its operation achieved national coverage.
Damaris' work so far consists of a large body of poems, short stories (some of which would be enjoyed by children), a collection of anecdotes about her life in Italy, and two novels – Queen Anne's Lace and Skolthan.
Clive and Damaris now live in a rebuilt farmhouse in the Umbria region of Italy with their three dogs, all originally rescue puppies. As the main Italian-speaker of the family, much of Damaris' time is spent on domestic and administrative duties to do with the house and its occupants, but she escapes whenever she can to work in the garden and orchard, and writes a daily blog about her life and the natural history around her.
Damaris writes for Any Subject Books (www.anysubject.com).

Be prepared for a terrifying tale of evil and witchcraft.
From the primitive cottage where she lives a hermit-like existence, Hilda can reach a tidal island which gives her access to a beautiful world, a fragment of the one-time Garden of Eden.
She is almost unique in possessing the gift to pass through to this other world, but her gift puts her in danger from sinister forces that wish to use the island's power to secure their own domination.
In a bid to rescue a mother and her unborn child, the intended victims of a horrific ritual with cosmic implications, Hilda and her friends must outwit a charismatic warlock (Hilda's former husband) and the arch-witch Alice, embodiment of evil, who masquerades as a midwife.
Their mission culminates in an act which threatens to tip them over the edge into the same evil world which they are so anxious to destroy. Nonetheless, good prevails, but at a terrible price …
