I have been tweaking recipes to get some for two friends that eat vegetarian and this one came out pretty decent. (Though you have to like TVP to get into it.)Greenwater Lake Rice: In a quart freezer bag put:1 cup instant rice of choice2 Tbl homemade low sodium bullion2 Tbl dried crumbled spinach1 Tbl dried onion1/4 cup TVP (small size)1-2 Tbl Parmesan cheeseIn camp add 1 1/4 cups boiling water and stir well. Put in a cozy for 10 minutes. Stir well again.Serves 1.Note:My recipe for homemade bullion is as follows:Low Sodium Bullion Mix:2 tsp dried vegetables1/8 tsp granulated garlic1/4 tsp onion powder1/2 tsp celery seed1/2 tsp poultry seasoning1/2 tsp sugar2 Tbl nutritional yeastMix all ingredients in a blender or spice grinder till powdered. Makes 3 servings of 1 Tbl each. Store in a tightly sealed ziploc bag.This is my favorite bullion. It has the smell of chicken soup!Salt can be added if desired. If a recipe calls for 1 tsp of commercial, use 1 Tbl of the homemade.Nutritional yeast is a nice power punch and adds B12 to your diet.

Thank you so much for the recipes ... as soon as we get done with some work around here we're gonna start checking them out ... it is really discouraging to read the sodium stats on the food labels ... crazy ... like 1,000 mgs per serving of a lot of instant stuff. Salt is necessary and good, but give me break.We use the lowest sodium soy sauce we can buy when making jerky ... easy marinade is 1/3 Wortchestershire [sp?], 1/3 soy, 1/3 Teryaki + rough ground pepper, ginger, ground coffee, cayenne, lemon rinds, orange, etc. ... whatever you like ... soak the thin cut meat (we buy cheap round roast on sale or cut out the fat of any chuck or cheaper roast), slice thin like 1/8 or so inch thick -- sometimes helps to semi freeze the roast so slices can be "shaved" off it)... soak the meatit over night or even for a day and a half ... then put in the dryer ... dry overnight or whatever to the density you want. Also, getting rid of the artificial sweeteners is on our agenda ... (Laurie has mentioned that issue, I believe)
We've enjoyed the (Not!) tvp products from Dixie Diners' Club. Beef (Not!) is my favorite for backpacking where a recipe calls for ground beef, even though we're not vegan anymore. The ham flavor is pretty good, not nearly salty enough for my taste, which may be a bonus to some.Nutritional yeast (not Brewer's yeast) is a great flavor boost once you get used to it. I also discovered Bragg's Aminos instead of soy sauce, I especially like the spray bottle. Lots of nifty ingredients for backpacking food at the health food store. Not eating or using any animal-derived products sure opened my eyes and forced me to think in detail about what I give to my family. Like anything, there's a lot of false-scare information floating around out there, but enough of it is real to behoove us to pay attention.
the vegetable boullion recipe that Sarah has posted is good and can easily be adapted to suit different recipes by changing the seasoning/vegetable componentsfor many meals I use my own homemade stock providing it will be thickened with other ingredients and can be properly dehydratedyou should try that some time Sarah
Kevin --Thanks ... I had completely forgotten about brewers yeast ... gotta add that to my food kit ... it is so SUL for the food value. Used to drink it when sailing as a main meal when in heavy weather with no time or to choppy to cook.
BD, definitely get the nutritional yeast over Brewers Yeast. It is more of a mellow taste. The flake style is also better than the fine powdered they sometimes sell.And yes, the powder does indeed pass for chicken flavor. It can fool almost anyone!
Laurie/Sarah/Anyone can you please educate me.In a previous life, so to speak, i was a clinical microbiologist. I have a pretty good handle on yeast, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae (aka Baker's Yeast aka Brewer's Yeast) and have cultured a lot of it and used it in a Food and Diary Microbiology class as well as at home. S. cerevisiae which has many strains used in the making of various of foods and drinks, but i'm pretty much a dunce when it comes to baking, etc. (though i do bake a very nice braided Challah bread).This is just some background so you know how detailed you can choose to be in responding to me. I also didn't want anyone to think that i was trying to set anyone up by asking a "loaded" question so i can jump on them (i've seen this type of thing done before elsewhere by others).My questions to y'all is when you say nutritional yeast are you talking about S. cerevisiae? Is it the substrate on which the yeast is cultured that makes it a "nutritional" yeast? Is it a special strain developed specifically for nutritional purposes similar to how special strains of S. cerevisiae have been developed for making champangne? Is it merely yeast extract, and not spores, and not viable yeast in one of its two genetic forms (haploid and diploid)?Many thanks in advance for your time and for educating me.
You are correct that these are special strains made for nutritional purposes. Most of the nutrional yeasts are strains of Saccaromyces cerevisiae. I am not completely positive but if I remember correctly these yeasts are extracts and don't contain live spores.Flaked nutritional yeast such as Engevita is taken from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is a high protein yeast with pale colored flakes. Lots of vitamins in this particular yeast.The person that posted that Brewer's yeast is not a nutritional yeast was incorrect. Brewer's yeast can be used as a nutritional yeast because it is high in the B complex and chromium. It comes from Saccaromyces cerevisiae just like many of the other nutritional yeasts. Brewer's yeast is made from fresh ale yeast. That said, the person was correct in saying that other nutritional yeasts have better flavor. Brewer's yeast tends to be a little bitter.Then there is Torula yeast which is grown on a wood by-product. It makes an excellent meat substitute because of the flavor from the fermentation process. This particular yeast is not as high in vitamins and minerals as the others but is high in amino acid and also contains Lysine. Baker's yeast is a live yeast and will actually remove nutrients from the body such as your B vitamins. Many people confuse Baker's yeast with Brewer's yeast.One note: If you are using any nutritional yeast you need to increase your calcium intake because of yeast's high phosphorous content. I hope that helps - there isn't much more that I can tell you except that it seems the more I bake with yeast the better my proofing works out. I've often wondered if perhaps some of the spores become airborne and reside in my kitchen. You probably know more about the science of yeast than I do though.
Edited by Laurie_Ann on 12/07/2006 17:16:19 MST.
L,excellent info. glad to hear it's NOT viable yeast that's being ingested. even too much of a "good" yeast (cp. to a "bad" yeast like Candida albicans, which also is found in small numbers in certain parts of the human body, particularly in females), can cause problems when ingested (e.g. fungaemia, IIRC the proper generic term).I had forgotten about the Torula sp. Many thanks for the reminder.As far as Baker's vs. Brewer's yeasts go, they both are strains of the same organsim, viz. S. cerevisiae. It's whether the fermentation occurs aerobically (like in baking), or anaerobically (like in brewing) that determines which metabolic by products of the fermentation process are produced.Thanks again for the informative, fact filled reply. I really appreciate such info.take care,pj
If a woman is subject to issues she should stay away from ingesting too much Torula.I didn't know that it was a fermentation difference between the yeasts. Totally interesting stuff. When I was a kid I used to do experiments with my Mom's baking yeast... lol... got me in a lot of trouble... especially the time I put it in a coke bottle (they were glass back then) and it exploded inside the closet.
From what I have read, nutritional yeast is grown on molasses. I know the brand I buy is grown that way (Red Star brand). And yes, it is safe for ladies to consume.Though, I have also read that one should not consume more than 3 Tbls a day of it, due to concentrations of certain vitamins that can pile up in the kidneys.
You are mistaken Sarah. While Red Star is one of the nutritional yeasts grown on molasses there are nutritional yeasts that are not grown on molasses. FYI Red Star is a very high quality product that has a slight cheese flavor to it and is not as bitter as some others. You are also right about it not being a problem with women but I do know women that have had problems with Torula.
Edited by Laurie_Ann on 12/07/2006 16:56:29 MST.
Brewers Yeast is the bitter one. Nutritional yeast can mimic chicken and cheese quite well, due to it having a sweeter taste.As far as I can find from looking at brands in the US, all of them are molasses grown. There may be other brands though I am not seeing. Brewers Yeast though is grown differently quite often, and while cheaper, is not as good.
I agree and can't stand Brewer's Yeast and although it has nutritional properties it is not ideal in my opinion. I usually buy a product that was grown on molasses because of the higher nutritional value and flavor.Another interesting and nutritional yeast product is the spread or yeast extract sold as Marmite or Vegemite. It takes a bit to get used to and the Marmite is a little less bitter than the Vegemite.Also if a vegan were to use your rice recipe they could substitute the parmesean with a touch more of the nutritional yeast.

Brad Lincoln Rumors
Minor Moves: Butler, Robinson, Solano, Marcum, Lincoln
Here are today's minor moves from around the league…
- The Cardinals have outrighted right-hander Keith Butler off the team's 40-man roster, according to the MLB.com transactions page. St. Louis has also released center fielder Shane Robinson. The 25-year-old Butler has yet to establish himself in the bigs, but has been quite good in the upper minors. Robinson, 30, has seen his role reduced and was no longer a valuable piece for a Cardinals club that just picked up Jason Heyward.
- The Nationals have released catcher Jhonatan Solano, also per MLB.com. Solano, the older brother of Marlins second baseman Donovan Solano, has seen minimal big league time over the past two years and did not have a clear role in the organization moving forward.
- The Indians announced that they've re-signed right-handers Shaun Marcum and Dustin Molleken to minor league deals with invitations to Spring Training. Marcum, 33 next month, was of course a fixture in the Blue Jays and Brewers rotations from 2007-12, though he dealt with his share of injuries in that time. Still, he posted a 3.67 ERA in 830 1/3 innings in that span before thoracic outlet syndrome in 2013 required surgery and has kept him on the shelf since. He did make it back to a minor league mound with Cleveland last season, posting a 2.35 ERA in 15 1/3 Triple-A innings in August.
- Molleken, 30, made 54 relief appearances for Milwaukee's Triple-A affiliate last season and posted big strikeout numbers but also struggled with his command, to an extent. In 74 1/3 innings, he pitched to a 4.84 ERA with 10.8 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9.
- The Pirates have signed a familiar name to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training in the form of Brad Lincoln, per the club's transactions page. Lincoln was selected fourth overall by the Bucs in 2006. He struggled through the early portion of his career but got off to a good start as a reliever in 2012 and was flipped to the Blue Jays for the man who was drafted 10 picks after him in '06 — Travis Snider. Toronto would eventually deal Lincoln to the Phillies for Erik Kratz and Rob Rasmussen. Lincoln struggled with Philly but had success in Pittsburgh and Toronto, posting a 3.76 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 in 119 2/3 innings from 2012-13.
- The Pirates also announced a host of other signings, including righties Collin Balester, Blake Wood, and Deolis Guerra, lefty Jeremy Bleich, and shortstop Gustavo Nunez.
- The Twins have re-signed infielder/outfielder Eric Farris to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training, reports 1500 ESPN's Darren Wolfson (on Twitter). The 28-year-old hit .280/.316/.356 with Minnesota's Triple-A affiliate last season, playing primarily center field.

Phillies Outright Brad Lincoln
The Phillies have announced that they've outrighted pitcher Brad Lincoln. The move clears space on the Phillies' active roster for Jonathan Pettibone.
Lincoln, 28, has a career 4.74 ERA with 6.8 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 222 1/3 innings in the big leagues. He came up as a starter with the Pirates, then briefly established himself as a reliever in Pittsburgh before heading to Toronto for Travis Snider. The Blue Jays shipped him to Philadelphia in December for catcher Erik Kratz and minor-leaguer Rob Rasmussen. Lincoln pitched just two outings for the Phillies, allowing three runs in a two-inning stint against the Brewers April 8.

Phillies Acquire Brad Lincoln
The Phillies announced that they acquired right-handed pitcher Brad Lincoln from the Blue Jays in exchange for catcher Erik Kratz and minor league left-hander Rob Rasmussen.
Lincoln, 28, appeared in 22 games for Toronto in 2013 and posted a 3.98 ERA with 7.1 K/9 and 6.3 BB/9. Over parts of four big league seasons, Lincoln owns a 4.66 ERA with 6.8 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 for the Pirates and Blue Jays.
Rasmussen combined to post a 4.11 ERA with 7.5 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 in 28 games (24 starts) for the Dodgers Triple-A and Double-A affiliates. The 5-9, 160-pound left-handed pitcher was traded from Los Angeles to the Phillies in exchange for Michael Young on August 31st. The 24-year-old is no stranger to being moved around, as he has now been involved in four career trades, including the aforementioned Young deal.
Kratz, 33, hit just .213/.280/.386 in 218 major league plate appearances last season. For his career, the backstop owns a slash line of .220/.281/.407 across four seasons with the Pirates and Phillies. Kratz is expected to compete with Josh Thole for the backup job behind Dioner Navarro.

Blue Jays Notes: Catching, Arencibia, Kawasaki, Davis
Here's the latest on the Blue Jays, who look set for another busy offseason…
- The Jays have made inquiries about such catchers as Carlos Ruiz, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and A.J. Pierzynski, Sportsnet.ca's Shi Davidi reports. Davidi also suspects Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos has checked in on Brian McCann, to boot.
- The Jays were known to be looking to improve behind the plate this winter and current catcher J.P. Arencibia has drawn trade interest from other teams. Davidi says there is some feeling that Arencibia has too much "accumulated baggage" in Toronto and might not reach his potential in a Blue Jay uniform. Arencibia is projected to earn $2.8MM as a first-time arbitration eligible player this winter and the Jays would certainly prefer getting something back for him in a trade than simply non-tendering him.
- Ervin Santana, Tim Hudson and Hiroki Kuroda have all received calls from the Blue Jays, Davidi reports, noting that Hudson and Kuroda probably don't have any mutual interest. Hudson is being courted by over 10 teams while Kuroda seems to be set on either re-signing with the Yankees, returning to pitch in Japan or retiring.
- Also from Davidi, Munenori Kawasaki could sign a new minor league deal with the Jays that would pay him more than the $600K base salary he earned last season.
- In another piece from Davidi, Melky Cabrera is looking much healthier and fit after a tumor was surgically removed from his spine, Anthopoulos said. Cabrera looks to be the Jays' everyday choice in left field, though obviously that could change if he suffers a setback in his rehabilitation.
- Rajai Davis is likely to leave the Jays for a team that can offer him more playing time, Davidi reports. The club's hope is that Anthony Gose or Moises Sierra can be a low-cost replacement for Davis as a backup outfielder.
- Sierra is out of options and "is a prime candidate to be shopped," MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm writes. Brad Lincoln could also be part of a trade package, as Chisholm breaks down possible scenarios for the Jays' nine out-of-options players.

NL Central Notes: Drew, Marte, Cardinals
The Reds have been nearly unbeatable since losing their top player to injury and now have the best record in baseball at 64-41. Here are today's NL Central links after another Reds win…
- The Pirates considered and rejected a trade that would have sent two minor leaguers to Arizona for Diamondbacks shortstop Stephen Drew, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports (on Twitter). The prospects — not Jameson Taillon or Luis Heredia — are at the mid-to-low levels of Pittsburgh's farm system.
- The Phillies asked the Pirates for Starling Marte, Brad Lincoln and more in possible trades for Hunter Pence, ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports (on Twitter). The Phillies ultimately obtained Nate Schierholtz, minor league reliever Seth Rosin and minor league catcher/first baseman Tommy Joseph from the Giants for Pence.
- MLB terminated the contract between the Cardinals and right-handed pitching prospect Andres Serrano, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports. The Cardinals had signed the Dominican for $750K, but he failed the age and identity sections of his investigation, according to Badler. Brian Walton of TheCardinalNation.com had the story last month.

Blue Jays, Pirates Swap Snider, Lincoln
The Blue Jays and Pirates have agreed to swap outfielder Travis Snider for right-hander Brad Lincoln, the teams announced. Both players were selected in the first half of the first round of the 2006 amateur draft.
Snider, now 24, has spent considerable time in the Major Leagues since debuting as a 20-year-old in 2008. However, he has battled injuries and the Blue Jays have optioned him to the minor leagues for extended periods, so his career high in games is 82 (reached in 2010). The left-handed hitter has a career batting line of .247/.305/.429. He has a .235/.270/.559 line in 37 plate appearances this year, including three homers against left-handed pitching.
Snider is on track for arbitration eligibility following the 2013 season. He's under team control through 2016. He joins a left field mix that currently includes Starling Marte, Drew Sutton and Alex Presley.
Lincoln has developed into a dependable late inning reliever for the Pirates, though that's not necessarily what they had in mind when they selected him fourth overall six years ago. He has a 2.73 ERA with 9.1 K/9, 2.1 BB/9 and a 37% ground ball rate in 59 1/3 innings for Pittsburgh this year. The 27-year-old has also started at least five games in three consecutive seasons. His average fastball checks in at 93.2 mph.
Lincoln could be arbitration eligible as a super two following the 2013 season, but he'll remain under team control though 2017. He'll join a Blue Jays bullpen that doesn't have many sure things other than Casey Janssen going forward.

Stark On Greinke, Headley, Indians, Wells
The market for Zack Greinke appears to consist of the Rangers, Angels, White Sox and Braves, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reports. Rival teams say the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Dodgers aren't involved on Greinke, and the Indians and Orioles have limited interest in pitchers headed for free agency, Stark writes. Here are more notes from Stark:
- The Yankees are exploring their third base options with Alex Rodriguez out, Stark reports. Marco Scutaro could be an option for New York.
- There's an expectation that Chase Headley will be traded, but the Padres continue saying they're happy to keep him, Stark writes. One team says the Padres are looking for a Mat Latos-like return if they trade the third baseman.
- The Phillies are looking for a proven, young setup reliever and a young outfielder or third baseman for Victorino, Stark reports. They've asked about relievers Brad Lincoln, Wade Davis and Logan Ondrusek in trade talks.
- It's already been a busy month for the Astros, but they're still willing to consider trades for anyone but Jose Altuve.
- The Indians and Cardinals have talked to the Rays about James Shields, Stark reports.
- The Angels are telling teams they'd rather trade Vernon Wells than keep him when he returns from the disabled list. They're looking for a trade partner and saying they don't want to eat all of his salary, Stark reports. It'll be challenging to find a taker for Wells' salary; he earns $21MM per season through 2014.
- The Indians aren't likely to deal Chris Perez or Shin-Soo Choo, but they'll listen on either player.

Quick Hits: Drew, Arrieta, Pirates, Mariners
A few odds and ends to pass along as this busy Tuesday night winds down …
- The Diamondbacks are less likely to trade shortstop Stephen Drew now that they've removed Ryan Roberts from the roster, tweets Jack Magruder of FOXSportsArizona.com. GM Kevin Towers said there's no deal out there for Drew "that's going to make us better."
- The Orioles may not have a choice but to trade starter Jake Arrieta if they'd like to improve their Major League roster without dealing any of their prized prospects, a source tells Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com. Baltimore has told potential trade partners that Dylan Bundy and Manny Machado are off the table, tweets Britt Ghiroli of MLB.com.
- The Pirates made a bid to acquire Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino, but talks hit a snag when Philly asked for right-hander Brad Lincoln, tweets Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
- The Pirates are "definitely going for it" and would like to acquire an outfielder or first baseman, tweets Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com.
- The Mariners have released minor league pitcher Jeff Marquez, tweets Triple-A Tacoma announcer Mike Curto. In his place, D.J. Mitchell, acquired from the Yankees in the Ichiro Suzuki trade, will start.

Pirates Notes: Upton, Quentin, Lincoln
The Pirates, who lead the NL Central with a 48-37 record, aim to improve their roster for the second half of the season. "We're in a buying mode," manager Clint Hurdle said, according to Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The Pirates have inquired on Carlos Quentin and Justin Upton, two of the top bats available this summer. Here are the details on the Pirates…
- "Our focus is to exhaustively search all opportunities to add to this club and to execute the right move(s) to make this club better," GM Neal Huntington said, according to Biertempfel.
- The Diamondbacks and Padres might have some degree of interest in right-hander Brad Lincoln in potential deals involving Upton and Quentin, Biertempfel reports (on Twitter). The Diamondbacks are scouting the Pirates' Triple-A team and the Padres are scouting the Pirates' Class A West Virginia team, Biertempfel adds.
- Biertempfel suggests the Pirates could use starting pitching depth.
- Within Biertempfel's piece a handful of former general managers share thoughts on what the Pirates should do this year.

AL East Notes: Bundy, Cervelli, Upton, Red Sox
Some news from the AL East…
- The Orioles have begun negotiations with fourth-overall draft pick Dylan Bundy, reports Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com. Denver Bundy, Dylan's father and also part of his representation team from BBI Sports Group, said today's meeting was "a feeling out process" and the two sides would hopefully discuss figures at their next session on August 10.
- The Yankees and Pirates almost agreed to a deal that would've seen Francisco Cervelli go to Pittsburgh in exchange for right-hander Brad Lincoln, reports George A. King of the New York Post. King hears from a Pirates source that the trade "was very close but [the teams] couldn't agree on the value of the players." Such a move would have given the Yankees room to call up Jesus Montero as both a backup catcher and as a potential DH platoon partner for Jorge Posada. Brian Cashman said Montero could potentially be called up once the rosters expand in September.
- The trade deadline has passed and B.J. Upton is still wearing a Rays uniform, so Steve Slowinski of the DRaysBay blog is already thinking about what a potential Upton extension might cost Tampa Bay.
- With the Red Sox facing a crunch of prospects for 40-man roster spots this winter, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal wasn't surprised that the Sox moved three of those on-the-bubble prospects in the Erik Bedard trade. Boston would've risked losing Chih-Hsien Chiang, Tim Federowicz, and Stephen Fife for nothing in the Rule 5 draft had the club not been able to send Chiang to the Mariners and Federowicz/Fife to the Dodgers.
- By acquiring two first basemen (Chris Davis and prospect Aaron Baker) from their deadline deals, the Orioles appear to be taking themselves out of the Prince Fielder sweepstakes this winter, writes Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun. I respectfully disagree with Schmuck — if the O's have a chance at Fielder, they won't hesitate to sign him for the sake of Davis (who has struggled against lefties at the Major League level) or a minor prospect like Baker. Davis could also be moved into a DH role, or moved to third base while Mark Reynolds become the designated hitter.

The St. Zita Societyby Ruth Rendell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This captivating novel about residents and servants on one block of a posh London street is a "sex comedy and a social satire, of the 'Upstairs Downstairs' variety, with a few murders mixed in for our added delight" (The Washington Post Book World).
Life for the residents and servants of Hexam Place appears placid and orderly on the outside: drivers take their employers to and from work, dogs are walked, flowers are planted in gardens, and Christmas candles glow uniformly from windows. But beneath this tranquil veneer, the social hierarchy is set to combust.
Henry, the handsome valet to Lord Studley, is sleeping with both the Lord's wife and his university-age daughter. Montserrat, the Still family's lazy au pair, assists Mrs. Still in keeping secret her illicit affair with a television actor — in exchange for pocket cash. June, the haughty housekeeper to a princess of dubious origin, tries to enlist her fellow house-helpers into a "society" to address complaints about their employers. Meanwhile, Dex, the disturbed gardener to several families on the block, thinks a voice on his cell phone is giving him godlike instructions — commands that could imperil the lives of all those in Hexam Place.
The St. Zita Society is Ruth Rendell at her brilliant best — a deeply observed and suspenseful novel of murder in the quintessentially London world of servants and their masters.
"If you're unfamiliar with Ruth Rendell, if you've somehow managed to miss her 60 or so books, if you've never experienced the frisson produced by her unique blend of elegant prose and brutal plotting or laughed out loud at her acidic humor or social observations, then congratulations: Your reading life is about to get infinitely richer....As with Patricia Highsmith, Rendell is a brilliant if detached observer of all levels of society... Like Charles Dickens, Rendell writes about contemporary London crime, but no one would call Dickens just a mystery writer. Rendell's work is too great, too thought-provoking and too important to be pigeonholed. The only mystery is why everyone doesn't know it." Jonathan Shapiro, Los Angeles Times
"The St. Zita Society takes up residence in a picturesque London street and ever so slowly and delicately eviscerates the pretentious upper-middle-class residents...as often happens in Rendell's novels of psychological suspense, characters are undone by their own obsessions. But these meltdowns are executed with such stealth and subtlety that the psychic cracks aren't visible — until suddenly they are." Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"Written with Rendell's customary grace and precision...[The St. Zita Society] will reward those who crave deep character studies and thought-provoking questions of guilt and innocence." Washington Independent Review of Books
"The prolific Rendell, the author of more than 60 works of fiction and a master of well-paced suspense and insight, has again written a novel that inspires grim smiles and great shocks." Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Upstairs, Downstairs in sordid hyper-drive...one of Britain's leading crime writers turns her attention to orchestrating the tangled and secretive lives of masters and servants on a London street." The Daily Beast
"Yet another gem...The St. Zita Society is both a sex comedy and a social satire, of the 'Upstairs Downstairs' variety, with a few murders mixed in for our added delight." The Washington Post Book World
"A gripping portrayal of the London world of servants and their masters, all marching toward an inevitable — and violent — conclusion...The St. Zita Society, a brilliantly crafted novel of psychological suspense, further enforces [Rendell's] rightful place as the queen of British mystery writing." Shelf Awareness
"Rendell, an expert craftsman, has delivered the goods again." The Washington Times
"A modern, murderous take on the relationship between master and servant in modern England." The New York Post
"A trip down a road so twisted that only a guide as skillful as Rendell could navigate it without a false step." Denver Post
"Rendell's offbeat characters will stay with you long after you have closed the book." Charlotte Observer
"Hilariously funny throughout, with a chilling twist at the end that pays homage to Daphne du Maurier's Don't Look Now. Every character is sharply drawn and three-dimensional, every situation credible no matter how unlikely or coincidental." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"This novel radiates tension...Rendell creates characters that seem to forsake the page of a Kindle or a Nook, and live beyond the borders of her novels." Publishers Weekly

How apropos. Portraying the 99%ers as head lice!
Yeah — head lice, indeed.
This hits it on the spot. Cuomo cannot handle someone saying no to him, the spoiled brat that he is.
Cuomo loves the money that comes with the Democratic donors, he does not believe in the progressive ideals of the party. He acts more like a Kardashian sister than a governor.
If he were honest with himself, he would join the GOP, I could respect him more if he did.
Why is it that people think it ok to steal the money of other people by calling it taxes? Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome
#4: "4.Why is it that people think it ok to steal the money of other people by calling it taxes?"
Its not stealing, its paying for the services you receive. And it means paying your fair share.
It also means that the rich should not be able to buy my government, like Roger Ailes and the Koch brothers do today.
How prophetic John> "A lice outbreak was announced at the #Occupy Portland squatters camp this weekend.
Head AND Body lice."
"Here we come!" The Occupiers told to one and all.
"We'll set up camp across the street in front of City Hall
While leaves do fall upon us and later when it snows
Until the change we seek does come. How long is that? Who knows?"
Before they even got to town, the governor got pissed.
"I can't afford to have my One Percenters thusly dissed."
And so he called his staff around and asked: "What can we do?"
"Easy, boss," said Larry Schwartz. "Two little words: ker few!
Our ducks will all be in a row; our wagons circled 'round.
From all these noisy Ninety-Niners we won't hear a sound."
The gov approved. Said: "Larry, that's the plan that we do need
To keep these rabble-rousers and their ranting about greed
From gaining any foothold and by adversely possessing
The precincts of the Capitol make us hear what they're professing.
Get Jerry Jennings, my old pal, now for me on the horn.
Together we will roust them out from dusk until the morn.
If all these folks must pack and leave at end of every day
It won't be long before they all give up and go away."
But there within the ointment a fly was swimming 'round —
City Hall with Second Floor did not find common ground.
See, Albany forever has been truly democratic;
Tromping on Amendment One to us is problematic.

County looks for cost cutting ways to keep staffing levels
COOS COUNTY, Ore. -- Coos County commissioners want to hire four new county officials, while spending little to no new money.
With the resignation of Human Resources Director Mike Lehman and Tuesday's announcement that county treasurer Mary Barton will be retiring after this term, commissioners see this as an opportunity to make some changes to county government.
Commissioners are considering eliminating the HR director's position and hiring four new officials to speed up the functions of county government and make sure contracts go through more than one person.
"We know we really can't afford to add a bunch of extra people, but maybe what we can do is through adding positions in strategic areas," said commissioner Melissa Cribbons. "We can provide those redundancy without adding personnel."
The new officials would be a county paralegal, a human resources officer, an assistant county counselor and possibly a chief financial officer, mostly paid for by reducing the treasurer's salary and eliminating the office and salary of HR Director. Commissioner Bob Main told KCBY News, "I don't want to hire any more people, I just want to rearrange what we have and spend less than what we are doing now."
There will be at least one more work session about the potential changes before the ideas are brought up at a regular commissioners meeting.

The Home and the World
by Rabindranath Tagore
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Tagore's story is set in Bengal at the early part of the 20th century when the Swadeshi (self-sufficiency) movement was taking root, which had as its aim that people would use only domestic goods. At the center of the novel is Bimala, a young woman who is happily married to an intelligent and enlightened landowner named Nikhil. When she's exposed to a rousing revolutionary speech by Sandip, she's not only drawn to the passion of his cause, but to Sandip himself, thus setting up a love triangle.
In cases of a people being oppressed, there is often a variety of viewpoints as to how to react, ranging from the gradual progressives to those who would use "any means necessary". Tagore places the two men at opposite ends of this spectrum, and while both ironically want the same thing, an independent, strong India, Nikhil wants to follow the law and exercise restraint, believing that something far greater is lost if one steals or is unjust, while Sandip is not above lying, violence, and other treachery, believing himself to be serving a higher cause, and believing that all other strong nations have had leaders who have done similar in the past.
As to Swadeshi itself, Nikhil believes that the root cause to India's dependence on foreign goods is its own demand, its own desire, which cannot forcibly changed, and any attempts to do so will not only be futile, but disproportionately harm the poor. Sandip believes that the root cause is essentially the supply itself, and that it must be suppressed with an iron hand.
The book's main level is thus political, where Nikhil stands for conservatism, cool intellect, idealism, kindness, and holding steadfastly to one's core principles. Sandip represents radical revolution, passion, the compromises one must make in the "real world", including being cruel if necessary, and the ends justifying the means, because "this is war", as he puts it. Bimala, who is torn between them, saying at one point that "this moment in our history seems to have dropped into our hand like a jewel from the crown of some drunken god", represents Bengal itself.
While it's easy to idealize Nikhil and demonize Sandip, and it's clear that this is where Tagore's sympathies lie, both men recognize their own weaknesses. Nikhil sees himself as a passionless, uninspiring lump of coal, and Sandip's guilt gnaws away at him despite the vitriol of his words. Tagore also lets both men "present their argument" by assuming the point of view of each, as well as Bimala, in interleaving chapters throughout the book. To me, the characters are part of Tagore's inner dialogue and conflict within himself, and I'm impressed by how in his work and in his life he tried to recognize all of these "voices", and find a middle path. Nevertheless, he was criticized for being conservative in his viewpoint, and for flaws in the style of his prose on top of it.
I disagree with the former, but there is at least a little valid criticism with the latter: Tagore is essentially using the book as a vehicle for a debate, which can make it seem too plodding. On the other hand, as Anita Desai says in her excellent introduction, while it's a "dramatic tale, yet not so particularly dramatic in the telling", he writes as a Victorian, so this is a product of the time, and there are many touching, very human moments throughout the book.
And this is where the book works on the next level down: "at home", the love triangle between the characters. Nikhil does not demand that Sandip leave his home, even though he knows something is going on, because he wants Bimala to choose freely. Nikhil is thus very forward thinking, adoring his wife but wanting her to be free … though if someone is so dispassionate it can come across as disinterest. Sandip here is raw emotion, and deludes Bimala along the way in his desire to just take her, and passionately. That has its appeal too, and she is torn.
Add in the minor characters, the chiding sister-in-law who has a long and close relationship with Nikhil (mirroring Tagore's own beloved sister-in-law, who sadly committed suicide), as well as the young man who Sandip wants to use as a pawn and Bimala wants to keep pure, whatever her sins may be, and I found this to be a very appealing story. There was real tension in the tragedy that was unfolding for Bimala and for India after things been set in motion, and I think rather than being on the wrong side of history, Tagore correctly got his head around the issues with both perspectives, and foresaw the violence that was to come to India later in the century.
On desire, this is Sandip:
"When a man goes away from the market of real things with empty hands and empty stomach, merely filling his bag with big sounding words, I wonder why he ever came into this hard world at all. … What I desire, I desire positively, superlatively. I want to knead it with both my hands and both my feet; I want to smear it all over my body; I want to gorge myself with it to the full."
"Come, Sin, O beautiful Sin,
Let thy stinging red kisses pour down fiery red wine into our blood.
Sound the trumpet of imperious evil
And cross our forehead with the wreath of exulting lawlessness,
O Deity of Desecration,
Smear our breasts with the blackest mud of disrepute, unashamed."
On being desired, Bimala:
"Sandip's hungry eyes burnt like the lamps of worship before my shrine. All his gaze proclaimed that I was a wonder in beauty and power; and the loudness of his praise, spoken and unspoken, drowned all other voices in my world. Had the Creator created me afresh, I wondered? Did he wish to make up now for neglecting me so long? I who before was plain had become suddenly beautiful."
"Nevertheless this flesh-and-blood lute of mine, fashioned with my feeling and fancy, found in him a master-player. What though I shrank from his touch, and even came to loathe the lute itself; its music was conjured up all the same."
"The way of retreat is absolutely closed for both of us. We shall despoil each other: get to hate each other; but never more be free."
"I can no longer enter my bedroom. The bedstead seems to thrust out a forbidding hand, the iron safe frowns at me. I want to get away from this continual insult to myself which is rankling within me. I want to keep running to Sandipto hear him sing my praises. There is just this one little altar of worship which has kept its head above the all-pervading depths of my dishonor, and so I want to cleave to it night and day; for on whichever side I step away from it, there is only emptiness.
Praise, praise, I want unceasing praise. I cannot live if my wine-cup be left empty for a single moment. So, as the very price of my life, I want Sandip of all the world, today."
On love, Bimala:
"His love for me seemed to overflow my limits by its flood of wealth and service. But my necessity was more for giving than for receiving; for love is a vagabond, who can make his flowers bloom in the wayside dust, better than in the crystal jars kept in the drawing-room."
"My beloved, it was worthy of you that you never expected worship from me. But if you had accepted it, you would have done me a real service. You showed your love by decorating me, by educating me, by giving me what I asked for, and what I did not. I have seen what depth of love there was in your eyes when you gazed at me. I have known the secret sigh of pain you suppressed in your love for me. You loved my body as if it were a flower of paradise. You loved my whole nature as if it had been given you by some rare providence."
On nationalism, Nikhil:
"'I am willing,' he said, 'to serve my country; but my worship I reserve for Right which is far greater than my country. To worship my country as a god is to bring a curse upon it.'"
"…those who cannot love men just because they are men – who needs must shout and deify their country in order to keep up their excitement – these love excitement more than their country. … So long as we are impervious to truth and have to be moved by some hypnotic stimulus, we must know that we lack the capacity for self-government. Whatever may be our condition, we shall either need some imaginary ghost or some actual medicine-man to terrorize over us."
On the old, Sandip:
"Chandranath Babu began to talk about Swadeshi. I thought I would let him go one with his monologues. There is nothing like letting an old man talk himself out. It makes him feel that he is winding up the world, forgetting all the while how far away the real world is from his wagging tongue."
The setting for this landmark novel is Bengal in 1908. A movement for India's independence from Britain has gathered momentum using a form of protest known as swadeshi, a boycott of European goods to further India's economic self-sufficiency. However, in the household of Nikhil, a wealthy landowner, deep philosophical divisions have arisen over swadeshi.
The novel is narrated in rotation by its three principal characters. Nikhil is a sensitive and compassionate man. As much as he want's India's freedom, he would not purchase it at the cost of innocent lives. Nikhil makes sacrifices himself in support of swadeshi, buying poor quality locally-made goods even though they are more expensive, but he will force nothing on others. Nikhil's philosophy of self-denial is put into words by his old tutor:
"We think ... that we are our own masters when we get in our hands the object of our desire -- but we are really our own masters only when we are able to cast out our desires from our minds."
Opposing Nikhil is his old friend and houseguest, Sandip, a man with unlimited ambitions who sees himself as India's liberator and does not hesitate to sacrifice the welfare of others to achieve his ends.
"And yet get it I must; how, I do not care; for sin there cannot be. Sin taints only the weak. I ... am beyond its reach. Only a commoner can be a thief, the king conquers and takes his rightful spoil."
Between Nikhil and Sandip is Nikhil's wife, Bimala. Her life is that of a normal, retiring Hindu wife until she overhears Sandip. His words ignite in her the fires of patriotism and ambition.
"The very next day I saw Sandip and madness, naked and rampant, danced upon my heart."
It doesn't take Sandip long to realize that Bimala is the key to his gaining access to Nikhil's resources.
"We are men, we are kings, we must have our tribute. Ever since we have come upon the Earth we have been plundering her; and the more we claimed, the more she submitted.... Likewise, by sheer force of our claims, we men have opened up all the latent possibilities of women. In the process of surrendering themselves to us, they have ever gained their true greatness.
In beautiful, poetic prose the subtle but forceful battle for the heart and mind of Bimala, as for all of India, is carried out between the two men and their opposing philosophies.
A complex and beautiful story about a woman in 1900's India. Bimala is a beautiful married woman who struggles between the traditional culture she was raised to follow, and her husband Nikhil's ideas about individuality, equality, and knowledge. When a young revolutionary-thinking man named Sandip comes into their lives, Bimala discovers feelings and thoughts that she had not previously experienced.
I very much enjoyed reading this book by Bengali author Tagore. The rich culture and exotic setting of the novel was interesting and well drawn, and I liked the three main characters. The book is written so that in each chapter, all three of them give an account of the story from their differing points of view. It makes Bimala, Sandip, and Nikhil unique and realistic, and it fills in the story perfectly.
I especially liked the ending of the story, and the character of Nikhil. I hated Sandip's arrogance, and related to Bimala's confusion.
Written during the Indian uprising. Effects on one family.
Classic of India from early 1900's.My favorite authors up till now have been Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, but now that I've read two books by Rabindranath Tagore I've got to add him right up there at the top of my list. I can see why he's one of India's most favored authors and I really can't believe that he is not more popular than he is here in this USA. Not a person I've mentioned him to so far has ever heard of him. Give him a try and you'll want to read more, start with Purabi, be sure to be in a relaxed mood when you do!!!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0140449868, Paperback)Set on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, this is both a love story and a novel of political awakening. The central character, Bimala, is torn between the duties owed to her husband, Nikhil, and the demands made on her by the radical leader, Sandip. Her attempts to resolve the irreconciliable pressures of the home and world reflect the conflict in India itself, and the tragic outcome foreshadows the unrest that accompanied Partition in 1947.

Merryvale Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Voluptuous aromas of cassis, black cherry, vanilla bean and cedar leap out of the glass. Typical of the 2007 vintage, this wine is drinking very nicely in its youth and should age gracefully for many years. Our favorite pairings include roasted meats or a Kobe Beef Burger.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Pretty good price for a Cabernet this elegant and rich. Starmont is a kind of second label to the excellent producer, Merryvale, and this '07 shows a fine pedigree, as well as the general quality of the vintage. It's dry and balanced, with complex blackberry, currant and oak flavors."

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Moonlight Basin is in foreclosure, according to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. In 2007, Moonlight borrowed $100 million from Lehman Brothers, the recently troubled investment firm. Court papers were filed against the Montana ski resort, which opened just six years ago, on September 10th, claiming Moonlight owes the firm $78 million in principal and $8.3 in interest.

Union membership declines again in 2003
January 22, 2004
In 2003, 12.9 percent of wage and salary workers were union members, down from 13.3 percent in 2002. The union membership rate has steadily declined from a high of 20.1 percent in 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available.
Blacks were more likely in 2003 to be union members (16.5 percent) than were whites (12.5 percent), Asians (11.4 percent), or Hispanics (10.7 percent).
Union membership rates were higher for men (14.3 percent) than for women (11.4 percent) in 2003. The gap between men's and women's rates has narrowed considerably since 1983, when the rate for men was 10 percentage points higher than the rate for women.
These 2003 data on union membership are from the Current Population Survey. Unionization data are for wage and salary workers. Find out more in "Union Members in 2003" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-53.

Wild keeps coming back, stuns Blues in a shootout
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Anyone who counted the Minnesota Wild out of the playoff race at midseason is reconsidering that thought these days. And anyone who counted the Wild out of Friday night's game in St. Louis when the Blues took leads twice in the first period and twice in the third period is re-thinking that tonight as well.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Wild didn't lead for any of regulation or overtime, but got a game-tying goal from Martin Havlat in the final minute of the third period, and a game-winner from John Madden in the ninth round of the shootout to win 5-4.
It was a rare win for the Wild inside the home of the Blues. The team had lost four in a row there, and that trend looked to continue when former Minnesota State, Mankato star David Backes scored twice for the Blues to give them a pair of leads. But his effort was matched by Cal Clutterbuck, who notched his first two-goal game of the season.
Still, it looked like none of it would matter and the Wild would lose two very valuable points in the Western Conference standings with less than 90 seconds to play and Wild goalie Jose Theodore on the bench in favor of a sixth skater. With the arena's announcer still announcing that there was one minute remaining in regulation, Havlat did exactly what a goal scorer is supposed to do in that situation. He tipped a feed from Mikko Koivu past Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak to force overtime.
"I was impressed with the way we came back every single time," Wild coach Todd Richards told the Associated Press after the game. "This isn't an easy place to play. I liked the way we played, I like the way we competed."
Of course, few road arenas have been tough places to play for the Wild lately. The win improved the team to 16-9-3 away from St. Paul.
Theodore had 31 saves, and will get some rest on Saturday, while the other players from both teams will spring right back into action. The Wild and Blues complete the home-and-home series on Saturday night in St. Paul, with the Wild looking to stay hot an improve on the 8-2-0 mark it has put up in the past 10 games.

Since the question is how to remove tree sap from clothing, wouldn't it make sense not to use peanut butter, lotions, or other "oily" substances? It seems like that is replacing one kind of difficult stain with another. What's safe for my dog's hair is not necessarily safe for my favorite white cotton pants.

By Dinah Ackerson [3]07/06/2015
The oils used to remove tree sap chemically break down the sap so that it no longer sticks. Then washing removes the mess without causing a stain.

The link that lets Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne connect. It's a look, a nod. Maybe a hand signal. It's something.
- Filed Under
At some point this afternoon, amid the can't-hear-myself-think din that Houston's Reliant Stadium promises to be, Peyton Manning will position himself as the triggerman in the Indianapolis Colts offense and Reggie Wayne will move out wide left, arms dangling at his side.
They'll be separated by 10 or 15 yards, but connected nonetheless. With verbal communication virtually impossible, Manning and Wayne will carry on.
It's a look, a nod. Maybe a hand signal. It's something, the same something Manning and Marvin Harrison cultivated and relied on for so many seasons. ...

Grassroot Events
Hey we're looking to sponsor some grassroots events for the 08-09 season. If you know someone planning something hit us up or have them hit us up at firstname.lastname@example.com We wanna get the name out there and hit a bunch of local events. Thanks you guys!
1 Attachment(s)
If you want to get into some grassroots events that hit on all sorts of snow lovers, I would suggest participating in some of the avy jams that happen in the fall. The Colorado avalanche institue (CAIC), Utah Avalanche Center, and Sierra Avalanche Center all have events to raise funds for their forecasts for the season. Those are some ofthe bigger events.
For small guys, Friends of Berthoud Pass does low cost avalanche education and does a fund raiser to pay for the professionals that give the fall clinics before the on snow dates. The Powder Whore guys do fund raisers for avalanche centers during the touring premiers of their Tele movies. Same thing with the Schralptown crew.
All of those events need sponsors to some degree. Some more than others.

The indication that vitamin D and its derivatives have a protective effect against various types of cancer is not new. In the field of colon cancer, numerous experimental and epidemiological studies show that vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol) and some of its derivatives inhibit the growth of cancerous cells. Researchers at the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), in collaboration with the Alberto Sols Institute of Biomedical Research (CSIC-UAB), have confirmed the pivotal role of vitamin D, specifically its receptor (VDR), in slowing down the action of a key protein in the carcinogenic transformation process of colon cancer cells. These results are being published in the journal PLoS One.
This protein, known as beta-catenin, which is normally found in intestinal epithelial cells where it facilitates their cohesion, builds up in large quantities in other areas of the cells when the tumour transformation begins. As a result of these changes, the protein is retained in the cell nucleus, where it facilitate the carcinogenic process, and this is the point at which vitamin D intervenes, or rather, the vitamin D receptor (VDR). "Our study has confirmed the pivotal role of the VDR in controlling the anomalous signal that sparks off the growth and uncontrolled proliferation of colon cells which, in the final instance, ends up causing a tumour to emerge", says Hctor Palmer, the coordinator of this study and head of the VHIO's Stem Cells and Cancer laboratory. He continues, "The stimulation of this receptor suppresses the action of the beta-catenin protein, intercepting the series of events that change the intestinal cell into a malignant tumour cell".
The study was conducted on mice and human colon cancer cells. The mice were used as a model to replicate the initial phases of colon cancer. "These findings show that mice of this kind, which also lack the VDR and hence do not respond to vitamin D, present larger and more aggressive tumours t

This production formed part of a staging of the Histories Cycle, with Michael Boyd directing 34 actors in seven of the eight plays. (Richard II was directed by Associate Director Richard Twyman.) The productions played in rep over nearly two years as part of the RSC's Complete Works Festival, culminating in the Glorious Moment when audiences were able to see all eight plays over one weekend.
Geoffrey Streatfeild's Henry V was boyishly vulnerable, weighed down with public responsibility. On the thrust stage, the battle sequences were spectacular - the audience were assaulted with ear-splitting explosions and clouds of smoke as the actors burst out of a central trap-door, scaling ladders across the stage and around the auditorium.
Watch the famous 'Once more unto the breach...' speech »
In contrast to the plainly-dressed English soldiers emerging from below the stage, the French occupied the aerial space - they wore elaborate brightly-coloured costumes, draped themselves from trapezes and the audience first met Katherine as she was flown in from the roof, presented inside a picture-frame.
Tom Piper's industrial design for all the plays featured a central cylindrical tower and the set was constructed to look similar to the Courtyard Theatre's 'rusty' exterior.
View the Design photo gallery to see the evolution of Piper's designs.

I got this Idea when I started my weight loss diet.I couldn't resist my sweet tooth. I loved chocolate.I didn't want to go on crash diet, hence I took out my Snicker chocolate from the fridge and had a bite of it with my 4 meals.Hence I had my full chocolate eaten in a day, with my diet and exercise.
I will always want chocolate, and it's so unhealthy! I treat myself to chocolate every day without going over 100 calories. Take a sugar-free chocolate jell-o pudding cup, which is 60 calories. Dump it into a bowl with 3 tbsp LIGHT whipped cream and mix. Chocolate mousse! And not quite 100 calories!
Just one little piece of dark chocolate (more than 70% cacao) eaten slowly so as to let it melt completely in my mouth will completely curb my morning and afternoon snack desires. So I eat my carrots or cheese stick and follow it with chocolate and I'm full and satiated and happy. Plus one piece of dark chocolate a day is beneficial in stroke prevention and high blood pressure.
I eat a tiny piece of chocolate every day so I don't feel I am going without chocolate! Savor it!
