text: The Scientist: Sharon Richter, a registered dietitian with a private nutrition practice in Manhattan.The Answer: There's a misconception that sea salt has less sodium than table salt and therefore is better for you. Well, it doesn't and it isn't.Though they come from different sources, both sea salt and regular salt are about 40 percent sodium. Sea salt is obtained directly from evaporated seawater and has trace amounts of minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium, but not enough to make much of a difference (and nothing compared to what you get from food). Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits and processed, so it's not as pure, which is one of the common points of comparison. In the processing, natural minerals are removed, the salt is ground to be much finer and anti-clumping agents are added.Table salt manufacturers also add iodine, an essential nutrient that helps the thyroid gland produce hormones. Our bodies can't produce iodine on their own, and without enough, our thyroids can get enlarged from overwork (that's what a goiter is). The National Institutes of Health recommend that adults get 150 micrograms per day. A quarter-teaspoon of regular salt provides almost half of that. It's also in a number of foods, including seaweed, fish, shrimp, dairy, grains and eggs.Although the ocean is full of iodine-packed foods, sea salt hardly has any iodine in it at all. So in that sense, table salt has the edge. And as for those other fancy salts—pink Himalayan, sel gris, fleur de sel, kosher salt—it's simply a matter of texture and taste.MORE ON SALT FROM YOUBEAUTY.COMDiet and Your Blood PressureTaking the Salt out of "The Salty Six"Research Debate: The Low-Salt Diet

So I'm 38 weeks and my baby still isn't engaged in my pelvis! My doctor said that he was head down, but had a floating (ballotable) head. I have another appointment on Monday so I'm definitely going to follow up and ask her some questions, but I was wondering if any other 1st time moms or BTDT mom went through this with their 1st baby? Everything I read said that it's rare for a 1st time mom's baby to not be engaged this late in the game, and I'm a little worried about having to have a induction/c-section.
At the end of the day, I'll do what I have to do to have a healthy, happy baby, but my husband is deploying for 9 months in a month, and if I go late and need a c-section I may have to rethink my game plan since I don't know too many people here and wasn't planning on having family come. Thanks in advance!

1 hour ago By Jeff Gordon
Coaches learn the Xs and Os of their industry while climbing the competitive ladder. They should also master the necessary people skills, as the Rams and New Orleans Saints can tell you.
Former Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo lacks those skills. He left a trail of enemies during his reign of error at Rams Park. His tenure as Saints defensive coordinator isn't going much better.
Former Saints and Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has those skills. He is regarded as a "player's coach," very popular in the locker room. Alas, his "Bountygate" scandal left him much less popular with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. His career is in jeopardy as a result.
Former Rams linebacker coach Blake Williams lacks his father's interpersonal skills, which is why he is now freshly unemployed. His career took a wrong turn in his father's absence this season.
Here is how it all connects:
The Rams are searching for a new defensive coordinator. Gregg Williams had the job, briefly, before Goodell suspended him indefinitely for his role in Bountygate." In his fathers absence, linebackers coach Blake Williams, 28, became the de facto defensive play-caller for coach Jeff Fisher.
The younger Williams alienated players and co-workers alike with his brusque manner. So Fisher fired him.
Now Gregg and Blake reside in coaching limbo, waiting to see if Goodell ever allows the elder Williams to coach again. The Rams are looking outside the organization to replace them and Tipsheet guesses the organization wont try to bring Spanguolo back from New Orleans.
Spagnuolo replaced Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator in New Orleans after losing his head coaching job here. His first season there did not go well.
This week, an unnamed Saints player described Spagnuolo as a control freak who treats people like (bleep).
(The assorted victims of Spagnuolo's Rams Park purge nod their heads at that assessment.)
The Saints lost head coach Sean Payton to a year-long Bountygate suspension. Interim coach Joe Vitt served a six-game suspension to start the season. Spagnuolos coaching role became especially critical, given that early-season leadership vacuum.
The Saints defense started poorly and stayed bad most of the season. The unit ranked last in the NFL in total defense and rushing defense and 31st in passing defense and scoring defense.
Players have no say in anything, the unnamed player told the New Orleans Times Picayune. It was (a) complete opposite from before where it was a simple D that players had a lot of control and say. We couldn't suggest (expletive) . . . Nothing ever changed. It was his way only.
Don't even get me started on lack (of) ability to adjust during games. Bad, bad, bad.
Yeah, all of this sounds pretty familiar to the Rams. After breaking the initial story and causing a ruckus, the newspaper sought additional player reaction.
Linebacker Curtis Lofton offered this semi-endorsement of his coordinator: One thing I can say about Spags is that he definitely cares about us as a coach would care for you. Of course, things this season didn't go the way any of us hoped it would go, but at the same time I'm a firm believer in the system that we're in and that we will definitely get things corrected.
Linebacker Jonthan Vilma criticized the newspaper for quoting an unnamed player. But did the story mischaracterize Spagnuolo?
That's not the question or the point, Vilma said. If he's man enough to tell you, he should be man enough to put his name on it. And you should do the same.
So in other words, no, the report did not malign Spagnuolo unfairly.
Former Saints and Rams fullback Mike Karney weighed in via Twitter. He has been critical of Spagnuolo ever since the Rams cut him.
A follower asked: Do you think Spags is a poor coach, or poor at relating to his players? Or both?
Karney responded: Both. The article was spot on.
Spagnuolos job could be in jeopardy. Payton is officially suspended through the Super Bowl, but in the interim Vitt and Saints general manager Mickey Loomis could read his mind and grab a new coordinator off the spinning coaching carousel.
As for the Williamses, they will have to wait for their next opportunity. Let's hope Blake learned more from his aborted tenure at Rams Park than Spagnuolo did.

Buy this photo Trading Standards officer Carla Baker with some of the leaflets being handed out to warn against colder callers and bogus traders
Josh Layton / / News
RESIDENTS in the town have been conned out of £32,000 by cold callers and rogue traders since August, it has been revealed.
Trading Standards Officers at Swindon Council say they have received several complaints relating to money being handed over to a string of crooks over the past three months.
They say there are concerns over an increase in the number of complaints received and are urging people to stay safe in their own homes by saying a firm no to cold-calling doorstep traders.
Yesterday marked the beginning of the Trading Standards Institute's (TSI) annual National Consumer Week – following a London launch by BBC presenter Gloria Hunniford and consumer minister Jo Swinson MP.
Householders are encouraged to download a no cold calling 'super sign' from www.tradingstandards.gov.uk.
It tells cold calling doorstep traders to go away – those who don't are committing a criminal offence and consumers should report them to the police or trading standards.
Officers from Swindon are backing the national campaign to close the door on rogue traders and help end the heartache and financial loss that can be caused by those who often target the elderly and vulnerable.
Promoted stories
More than 10,000 complaints are made about cold calling doorstep traders every year, but this is likely to only be the tip of the iceberg as victims are often too embarrassed and frightened to report incidents.
As part of the campaign, Swindon Trading Standards are working with Wiltshire Police to promote their Buy With Confidence assured trader scheme.
Trading Standards officers carefully check and audit businesses before they can become members of the scheme.
These checks include credit reference checks, legal audits, criminal record bureau checks where relevant and checking for Trading Standards complaints on the national database.
Councillor Vera Tomlinson, Swindon Council's cabinet member for a safer, stronger borough, said: "Every day Trading Standards Officers up and down the country are dealing with cold callers targeting vulnerable consumers for expensive, unnecessary and badly done home maintenance work.
"Our message is clear: we think that there is only one way consumers can really stay safe from rogues in their own homes, and that is by saying 'no' to cold calling doorstep traders.
"Any consumer that needs a good, honest, reliable trader they can trust should get a trader from our Buy With Confidence Scheme.
"With our Cold Calling – Don't Buy It campaign, we want to raise awareness amongst particularly the more vulnerable consumers that cold callers could be anyone and that they should never be dealt with.
"If you need work done on your homes use the Buy With Confidence Scheme via the internet at www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk or by calling 01793 466155."

I prefer crushed tablets
posted 6 years ago
I buy 100% pure vitamin C tablets for humans and use a pill crusher to turn them to powder. I sprinkle it on wet romaine and give them their vitamin C that way. The excess is passed from their system. It's better than the drops.
Pros: provides the needed vitamin C that guinea pigs require
Cons: water must be changed daily so liquid drops are spilled out

GP vitamins

I find that it is very easy to dispense these vitamins into our GPs water so that they don't get scurvy (ha ha). Seriously it is a good way to get them extra vitamins besides all of the fresh fruits and veggies they get.
Pros: easy to dispense
Cons: can't think of any

Shock to the System
Amid rising tension, the deaths of teens Zied Benna and Bouna Traoré, who were electrocuted after climbing into an electrical sub-station in an attempt to hide from police on Oct. 27, 2005, set off the initial violence that would last for 21 nights and force officials to declare a state of emergency.
The epicenter of the unrest was Clichy-sous-Bois, a neighborhood outside Paris known for its run-down housing projects, heavy immigrant population and widespread unemployment.

Update Oct. 16, 2011: The pandaboard was waiting for me when I got home from work Friday. So far it boots into android and I can see through hyper terminal that it sees and loads drivers for wifi, GPS, FM, and Bluetooth but not the touch screen. I'll have to sideloads apps to test things because the build is not necessarily meant for this use. I had to enter alternate boot args (mentioned in the release notes) in the bootloader to boot because it would error, and add graphics drivers and wireless drivers (both well documented) to get things running smoothly because without acceleration graphics were quadrupling boot time.
I have another problem where I get errors about the HDMI port followed by the board and touch screen going to sleep, but I intend to use the dvi port once I can enable it anyway.
Things are moving more quickly so far than expected. I expect it will slow down as I get into app testing.
I have ordered a Pandaboard, have a black-box N from Bybyte, a USB GPS unit, and a 629GL DVI Lilliput touchscreen.
My intention is to replace the stock in-dash stereo, have an accessible aux audio jack, if its possible to use a USB cd-rom with the pandaboard (I think I read that it is) I intent to mount a drive where the retractable cup holder currently is in the jetta, have extra USB ports provided by a powered hub, obviously add GPS, and if necessary get a FM tuner to work with it (its currently unclear to me if the pandaboard handles FM). Once I have all the hardware set up and android installed I will try to get the GPS working, find or create a suitable dashboard style control system, and then deal with converting the power and audio to match the car.
The board and GPS unit are in transit to my location and I have installed the Lilliput monitor in the black-box.
I have confirmed that the Lilliput is compatible with the pandaboard/android, but not the GPS. It was suggested to me that the GPS should work with android however.
I will chronicle my trials and tribulations throughout the process of setting up and then installing the system here.
Please chime in with any questions, tips or suggestions.
My first batch of questions are about power: I'll need a 12V supply for the lilliput and 5V for both the pandaboard and the powered hub. I read that the pandaboard can be configured for automatic startup at power-on, so a setup which will accomodate that would be a plus. Would it be possible to use the current stock stereo power supply setup to pull 5V and 12V lines, and would it be expected to supply enough current? I imagine I'll need it to be at 5v with around 3-4amps for the hub and about the same for the pandaboard, I can get a better idea when I have it in my hands and can monitor usage with various applications and accessories plugged in. I figured I could use two of these: http://store.mp3car.com/Carnetix_CNX..._p/pwr-016.htm for the hub and panda but they might be cutting it close since the pandaboard specs recommend more than 3Amp.
I also figure I could use a p1900, p2140, or opus 80 but that seems costly and perhaps overkill for this - unless I want ignition power on/off.

2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

Love! Valour! Courage?
It's a Monday evening in late November, and a veritable orgy of gifted men are ranged round a patchwork of tables in the basement of downtown St. Paul's Park Square Theatre. The air is charged with expectancy. Rehearsals for the area premiere of Love! Valour! Compassion! (henceforth known as LVC), Terrence McNally's Tony Award-winning play about male queerdom in the mid-'90s, are about to commence.
Everyone seems to be in a talkative mood. "We'll have real characters in a very abstract space," the theater's resident designer, Gabriel Backlund, says to the assembled cast and crew. "And very, very few props. Thank God."
"And very, very few clothes," pipes up costumer Jack Edwards. "Thank God!" His lecherous tone stems from the fact that these actors will bare more than just their souls on-stage.
But the real men who could lose their shirts in this enterprise, financially speaking, are Park Square artistic director Richard Cook and his partner in life and work, Stephen Lockwood, the theater's executive director. As the opening act in the theater's six-play 1998 season, LVC is something of a bold and risky venture.
"There's an edge to this choice," Cook says, acknowledging the show's gay content, "If there's been an imbalance in our programming, it's been toward the conservative."
McNally's play is set at a comfy country house in upstate New York, a haven for eight arty, upscale gay men during three summer holidays. From this premise the playwright creates a sort of bucolic, granola-age Boys in the Band, where internalized homophobia has been superseded by AIDS and bitchiness tempered with a warmer wit. Done well, the result is a work both heartfelt and hilarious.
The script, not incidentally, presents the male physique as a vehicle for passion, disease, and spirituality. Park Square is being careful about this and the show's other potentially touchy elements. All promotional material cautions that "the play contains nudity, strong language, and sexual situations." For some of the public -- including the more staid members of Park Square's subscription audience who were offended by the homosexual kiss that kicked off last summer's staging of Fifth of July -- such explicit, dicks-in-the-breeze content could be a deterrent. For others -- particularly the hipper, GLBT culture-
vultures Cook hopes to attract to St. Paul -- it'll be an extra incentive.
"Park Square has a mainstream audience," Cook says, "though I like to think of them as pretty cool and sophisticated. But we haven't put a gay play in front of them before. This show is a chance to expand their repertoire. It's also a chance for us to reach out to the gay community." (Ten percent of all single ticket sales for LVC, which runs Jan. 15 - Feb. 8, will be donated to the Minnesota AIDS Project for next year's AIDS Walk, and a special benefit performance for District 202 is scheduled for Feb. 12.)
That same community has long served as home for Cook and Lockwood. An Iowa farm boy, Cook met Wisconsin-born Lockwood while each was pursuing a directing degree from the University of Iowa at Iowa City in the early '70s. Despite their competitive and contrasting natures, the two aesthetic rivals clicked.
"We're tremendously tenacious," explains Lockwood, 51. "Our relationship has outlived every relationship we know, both straight and gay." And the secret of their longevity? "Richard's my best friend, better than anybody else. You can have lovers, but a real best friend will forgive, forget, excuse, whatever. And we love each other's company. You know you have a good relationship when you can spend a whole weekend together and not have to say a fuckin' word. We don't have to entertain each other."
Instead, Lockwood and Cook, 49, expend much of their joint energy entertaining Park Square audiences. They do this via a judiciously managed, typically widely varied repertoire. Solid, occasionally inspired productions of Western classics by Shakespeare, say, or Oscar Wilde are layered in among comforting, family-friendly chestnuts like Harvey (scheduled for June) and newer, riskier scripts that Cook says "might have a few more edges." These include last season's Arcadia, Tom Stoppard's bracing meditation on love and science, and the area premiere this spring of David Mamet's elliptical The Cryptogram. And, of course, there's LVC.
Although their association with Park Square stretches back to 1975, Cook and Lockwood have officially been at the theater's helm since 1979. Prior to that they made their living temping at Control Data Corporation and, even more lucratively, toiling for three years as union members in a steel pipe factory. "Stephen would cut pipe into little pieces," Cook recalls, "and I would put threads on it. There came a point where I knew I'd better get out because the job was becoming too comfortable. But it was nice to know we could do it."
Their most notorious pre-Park Square theatrical gig was Cook's appointment, fresh out of college, as scenic designer and technical director at a theater in Raleigh, N.C. Because his relationship with Lockwood was fairly new, Cook says, he "slightly fudged" his answers to personal questions during an interview with the theater's management, hoping they would feel "comfortable enough to offer me the job." Lockwood eventually joined Cook, volunteering his time backstage and living in the two-bedroom apartment that the theater insisted Cook rent.
"It became this joke to us," Cook, 49, says, "the token empty second bedroom. There was never a bed in there, and no furniture."
"It was 1972 or '73," Lockwood chimes in, "and down there they were just about entering 1950. And that wasn't even the Deep South."
The upshot of this saga of creeping, don't-ask-don't-tell discrimination was Cook's dismissal. He protested, but declined to stick around and fight the decision or take it to the higher courts. "It was an adventure that tested our relationship, that's for sure," he says. The experience also helped to form resolve. "When I became head of Park Square," he says, "I swore I'd never put anybody in that kind of situation, or allow another artist to be compromised that way."
Leaving Raleigh, Cook and Lockwood eventually migrated to the Twin Cities. They became, according to Cook, "disco-babies" who did a lot of volunteer work, partly as a means of exploring what the gay community had to offer. Home was a two-bedroom apartment in Kellogg Square shared with Lockwood's mother, Bessie. "She was a very interesting woman," he says, "always independent, a world traveler. It was more like living with a peer than a parent. It could be kind of amusing. There was a while there that she was carrying on a torrid affair. She would ask, 'Are you gonna be late tonight?' I'd say, 'Why?' 'Well, so-and-so is coming over....'"
The arrangement lasted 18 years, until Bessie's death in 1996. During that time Cook juggled direction, design, and fund-raising duties at Park Square, as Lockwood gradually slid out of direction and performing to focus on acquiring business expertise. (Bessie and her lady friends helped stuff envelopes.) Together with scores of actors, designers, and other directors, they guided the nonprofit toward what is fast approaching 150 productions mounted in at least four locations. Park Square even managed to survive one year without a permanent venue.
"It was like they had to reinvent the wheel with every show," remarks the theater's current dramaturg and occasional actor, Matt Sciple.
"Twin Cities theater history is littered with corpses," says actor Craig Johnson, a veteran of some 40 Park Square productions, "but Stephen and Richard have been the glue holding that whole place together through thick and thin."
The payoff to the pair's cultured, savvy dedication to Park Square is its increasing prestige as one of the Twin Cities' Little Theaters That Could. In Johnson's estimation, the theater has become "a main
middle-level institution." Things only improved when the theater moved into downtown's handsome, historic Hamm Building, erstwhile home of the defunct Actors Theater of St. Paul, in 1995. Over the last few seasons, both the theater's subscription base and audience attendance have more or less doubled. This with only six full-time employees and some part-time help.
Bringing more gay theatergoers into the fold could further boost such success. The cast list for LVC reads like a miniature who's who of TwinTown's gay male thespians: Joey Babay, Robert-Bruce Brake, Dale Pfeilsticker, Jonathan Rayson, Peter Rothstein, and Peter Vitale.
McNally's creations include a choreographer and his blind, angelic younger lover; an endearing showtune queen with AIDS; and a good/bad pair of English-born twins (played by one actor). Accompanying the "evil" twin is a dancer, a Latino stud muffin named Ramon.
"The miracle of this play," Cook explains to the actors during the late-November rehearsal, "is the interaction of the characters, which is you. I'm really pleased with the talent here. But, "
Finding a living match for this role has proven to be more of a bane to Cook's production than even the on-stage lake suggested by the script. Early on in the casting, Cook opened wide the door to actors of every color. "The more we've talked about it," Cook says, "the more important it's become to me to make sure that Ramon is a true outsider to the fabric of the group. Literally, he's a darker
You wouldn't think that finding a good, hunky -- and affordable -- young actor who is also convincing as a professional dancer would be that difficult, even in white-bread Minnesota. Still, despite consultations with Mixed Blood, Penumbra, Theatre Mu, Teatro del Pueblo, and cabaret impresario Patrick Scully, among others, the right Ramon has eluded Park Square. Even the likeliest lead -- an Equity actor who played the part for nearly six months in Chicago -- fell through.
"So," Cook reiterates, "we're still Ramoning. It's a gerund."
Ramon's anatomy isn't the only body that figures prominently in LVC. The show's biggest technical challenge is an on-stage body of water -- a lake, in fact -- in which the characters should appear to swim.
Backlund, who has previously devised on-stage showers and rain curtains for Park Square, reports that other productions of LVC have utilized a narrow lap pool and even a tub of water stuck behind a transparent screen. He's being far more ambitious. He reckons that his "lake" will measure three feet at its deepest. It will be heated, he says, mischievously adding, "but I have a feeling it won't be all that warm. The actors' balls might literally freeze off."
The remaining unknown for Lockwood and Cook is LVC's box office prospects. While acknowledging the show's built-in, target gay audience, Lockwood is utterly confident about the show's crossover potential. "It has an immediate, mass-market appeal for those people who are interested in Tony Award-winning Broadway shows," he says. "And it won all those awards not because it's about gay men, but because it's about humanity, and that's universal.
"I look at its strengths," he continues, "not its content. It's no more of a liability than any other show in our season. It's just one piece of a six-piece puzzle. If we were to worry about whether or not to do LVC, we'd also have to say, 'I don't know if we should do The Fantasticks because it's got a rape-ballet, or Harvey because it's about an alcoholic.'"
Timothy Lee, head of the local GLBT theater company Outward Spiral, is less sure of LVC's mainstream potential. "Park Square audiences are a little more accustomed to the classics," says Lee, who is moonlighting as Cook's assistant on the LVC production, "and a lot of them come from St. Paul, which is traditionally a little conservative. So this show could be controversial."
"You can never predict a Twin Cities audience," Lee adds. It's his experience at Outward Spiral that "the gay audience in particular, though very well educated, is also pickier and less forgiving." He cites the relatively low box office receipts of Illusion Theater's recent, gay-themed double bill of "Hey, Boy!" and "Forever Hold Your Piece." On the other hand, Theatre in the Round scored a critical and financial bullseye with its 1996 staging of Paul Rudnick's Jeffrey. But unlike the home-grown Illusion shows, both Jeffrey and LVC are proven stage successes that have been converted into Hollywood films.
Still, Park Square's management believes the play's universal themes will broaden its appeal -- as well as the theater's audience base. "We're not looking for homogenous, single groups" of patrons, Cook says. "As the theater evolves, we're constantly trying to build our audiences."

Legend has it that Paxon Leah is descended from the royals and warriors who once ruled the Highlands and waged war with magical weapons. But those kings, queens, and heroes are long gone, and there is nothing enchanted about the antique sword that hangs above Paxon's fireplace. Running his family's modest shipping business, Paxon leads a quiet life - until extraordinary circumstances overturn his simple world…and rewrite his destiny.
When his brash young sister is abducted by a menacing stranger, Paxon races to her rescue with the only weapon he can find. And in a harrowing duel, he is stunned to discover powerful magic unleashed within him - and within his ancestors' ancient blade. But his formidable new ability is dangerous in untrained hands, and Paxon must master it quickly because his nearly fatal clash with the dark sorcerer Arcannen won't be his last. Leaving behind home and hearth, he journeys to the keep of the fabled Druid order to learn the secrets of magic and earn the right to become their sworn protector.
But treachery is afoot deep in the Druids' ranks. And the blackest of sorcery is twisting a helpless innocent into a murderous agent of evil. To halt an insidious plot that threatens not only the Druid order but all the Four Lands, Paxon Leah must summon the profound magic in his blood and the legendary mettle of his elders in the battle fate has chosen him to fight.

"The Sword of Shannara is an unforgettable and wildly entertaining epic, animated by Terry Brooks' cosmically generative imagination and storytelling joy." (Karen Russell, New York Times bestselling author of Swamplandia!)
"If Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy, Terry Brooks is its favorite uncle." (Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Desert Spear)
"I can't even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks' books I've read (and reread) over the years. From Shannara to Landover, his work was a huge part of my childhood." (Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind)
"Terry Brooks is a master of the craft and a trailblazer who established fantasy as a viable genre. He is required reading." (Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Angel Trilogy)
"The Shannara books were among the first to really capture my imagination. My daydreams and therefore my stories will always owe a debt to Terry Brooks." (Brandon Mull, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Beyonders and Fablehaven series)
"A departure from the typical Shannara storyline"
A couple of spoilers in this review (4th paragraph)- You have been warned!
First, I have to say that overall I am a Brooks fan. Next to the Hobbit, Brooks was my introduction into the Fantasy genre at a pretty early age with the Sword of Shannara, and I've read everything he's put out since. So the medicare star rating should be a heads up.
Most of the Shanarra series has been somewhat, "formulaic", in the overall plot line, and I do want to give props to the author for exploring new ground (though in this book it's not really a good departure in my opinion).
This story centers once again around the Ohmsford family (though now it's the Leah name as the bloodlines merged at the end of the last trilogy, Witch Wraith). Its pretty obvious that this book is much more about setting the pieces in place politically and contextually for a much larger grand story down the road.
What we get in this book is relatively mundane in terms of the plot. There is no grand "end of the world" threat taking place (at least overtly) in this story- instead a bar fight escalates into a kidnapping and a rescue that sets some things in motion, that on the surface are, (for the Shannara world), rather "dull", especially given the bloodbath the previous trilogy was.
Contrasting that dynamic, the other main criticism is that the story gets quite dark in places. One of the main characters is a 15 year old girl (her age mentioned several times in the text), the offspring of the Railing Ohmsford and Mariah Leah line. At one point she is kidnapped and brutally tortured- I hate to give that away, but at the same timeI feel one should be aware of this going in.
I don't think the description of the torture is specific enough to technically be considered graphic, though it does get the idea of what is being done across well enough through implication. Most of the Shannara characters historically are quite young and always threatened with awful deaths- this brings a grittier detail to the character's trial that may be off-putting to some, given the age of the person being tortured. While there is a sexual tension to the torture (that component is threatened a few times), it doesn't cross the line into that thankfully. For added tension though, her capture always seems to wind up with her clothing removed at the end. It's effective, if a bit disturbing.
Where in pervious stories, the tension comes from the nature of the evil protagonist of the story attempting to destroy or conquer the world (and subsequently kill the hero of the story who is trying to prevent this), this is a much more direct assault against the main characters for personal gain by the protagonist (though agendas are hinted at).
Brooks is obviously trying to go a bit deeper here in the perceived threat to the heroes and raising the tension in a different way than he has done in the past. I can't say it isn't successful, even if it does leave you feeling a little dirty at the end (though I have read much worse by other authors- it's just somewhat unexpected here).
Another flaw is that the main protagonist, while diabolical in his casual brutality, doesn't seem to have any solid direct plans to gain power, but seems to let things develop at times and be along for the ride. He comes across less as an "arch villain" and more as a sadistic opportunist.
Despite all this, I'll keep with the story and see where it goes. Brooks has said in interviews that the Shannara series is headed to a major (world changing) confrontation between the Magic and Science spheres of the world, and there are some obvious hints being set up in this story for that to play out in the future. But ultimately this 1st book of this trilogy doesn't really communicate any cliff hanging, nail biting drama that makes you want to dive right into the next book. But I remain hopeful.
Truth IS
"The details of a sexual nature unnecessary."
I believe that chastity is a sacred thing, and should not be treated so lightly. The details of a sexual nature were completely unnecessary. The storyline could have been well made without them.
"Not wonderful, not terrible"
No, other than jumping over situations that need more detail to fully appreciate. Example: ow they get into a bd guy's place without any work based on a young boy's directions. Suggests the bad guy wash't very smart, yet he manages to do all sorts of things that take more thought than setting 'intruder alarms' on his doors/windows.
A bit harsh for young adults, but appropriate in the context of the storyline.
Cadence and pronunciation
I don't watch TV very often, so cannot say how well this would translate to that format.
"Caught again in Brook's web."
Takes me back to the 80's reading Shannara for the first time. Completely captivated with the characters and caught in the plot. Definitely one to add to your favorites.
"Pleasantly surprised"
I'd sworn off Shannara novels a few years back due to the naive nature of the usual protagonists and the dreary decision making that fueled the plot. The age range of his usual hero fit the decisions to a small degree but it hurt to read people being willfully ignorant.
Picked this up in a 2 for 1 credit deal and although there are a few spots where i caught myself asking why didn't they end this threat or why is his sword suddenly NOT doing what it was doing earlier, the plot kept avoiding the path i was expecting. As far as i'm concerned that's a win for Terry and i'll check out the next one to see if he can keep me guessing.
"Good not GREAT"
Definitely not as good as the other book. A little slow in development and not as much action as we accustom to experiencing. Good not great HB
Terry Brooks delivers another classic! The plot twists will leave you spellbound and caught up in the momentum of the story.
"Brooks just isn't what he used to be."
I grew up reading Shannara, but these last couple of series have been quite dull. Narration was excellent.
"yet another great book :)"
I've loved these books since I was a girl still loving him hope there are many many more to come.
"a disapointed fan"
Terry Brooks, one of my favorite authors has been slipping for the last few series including this one. He is over 70 after all. I am a bit sad that we may never get the novel about Galaphile and the first druid council or worse we will get it and it will be a short 300 page rushed novel like the stuff he has been putting out lately.

Almost a year ago, I went from dying my naturally dark blonde hair a deep brown color that was almost black to bleaching it to a light, highlighted blonde. Since I had been brunette for close to 10 years, this was a huge change for me. I was fully aware that bleaching my hair would damage it, making it dry, frizzy, and maybe even look a little dead. My hair is really important to me, so the thought of "hurting" it was really hard for me. That was why, from the moment I started bleaching it, I began to become obsessive about taking care of it.

Himalayan Chakra Healing - Tibetan Singing Bowls and Didjeridoo CD from Suren Shrestha with Paradiso offers new age chakra healing music and Tibetan singing bowl music.
This landmark recording resonates each chakra with the corresponding keynote of sound which entrains your body, mind and spirit to a higher order of coherence and overall well-being. The luminous tones of the electric piano and ethereal harmonies spiral up your spine to the top of your head, making it ideal for relaxation or meditation.
Each keynote of Chakra Suite adds swirling harmonics and overtones that I believe deliver an extraordinary psycho-acoustic effect. Listen with headphones and you will notice that the intricate interweavings of atmospheric essences take on a 3-dimensional presence. They seem to tickle and energize the 'inner ear' as well as the outer ones.
The cd 'Songs of the Plants' is the third cd from Miguel Guldimann. It is dedicated to songs from the Amazon rainforest. The sacred songs of the plants are the melodies which the shaman uses to communicate with the spiritual world. Through these melodies, it is possible to invoke the spiritual help necessary for finding the balance of the body, mind and soul of sentient beings. There are ancestral techniques for those who want to heal themselves or learn this path. Through a dietary retreat, one undergoes a process of profound purification and detox that addresses the subtle energy bodies and physical structures of human beings. This process is accomplished by drinking a highly concentrated tea, made from the sacred plant. Through intense dreams the plant teachers reveal their power to us and with it their song, which is their language of communication. This disc can be used as medicine that restores, nurtures and nourishes the soul, creating a state of peace and emotional, psychic and spiritual balance, thereby bringing health to our entire physical body.
A powerful new genre in New Age music, 'Journeysongs', guided shamanic journey experiences to each of the three worlds inspired by the Peruvian lineage intended for individual and/or group healing.

On this exquisitely relaxing CD, Reiki-Master Shajan uses ocean waves with beautiful melodies and sensual, serene harmonies to create a calm and soothing atmosphere - ideal for Reiki, Yoga, Mediation and Massage.
The harp is an instrument of sublime beauty—and a powerful tool for healing.
Ritual CD by Native American Flutist R Carlos Nakai and Pianist/Composer, Peter Kater, offers new age music and instrumental music for yoga music. Twice Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling pianist, Peter Kater has written the music for over seventy television and film programs including eleven On and Off-Broadway dramatic plays. His more than 30 critically acclaimed CD releases in 20 years range from Contemporary Jazz, World Fusion and Native American collaborations to full orchestrations and of course, his signature solo piano recordings. His PIANO recording, released in October of 2003 was just nominated for the Best New Age Album of 2004 Grammy Award. Receiving extensive world-wide airplay on a diverse array of radio formats, Kater's broad creative stroke has touched millions of hearts. Over the last few years his music was heard in the NBC broadcast of the 2000 & 2004 Summer Olympics; he collaborated with Kenny Loggins on his December CD and performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City. The majority of his albums have appeared in the Top 10 of National Airplay charts and in the Top 20 of Billboard's New Age and Contemporary Jazz charts. Of German birth and descent, Peter moved to New Jersey from Munich, Germany at the age of four and began studying the piano, at his mother's demand, when he was seven. Seven years of classical training led into playing Rock & Roll and Top 40 bands around New Jersey and New York while studying contemporary improvisation. Moving to Boulder, Colorado at the age of eighteen, he began a six-year period of playing only improvisationally in clubs throughout the Rocky Mountain region. "I didn't want to play anything the same way twice, being in the moment and spontaneous was very important to me, both musically and personallyâ€, said Kater. Since then he's recorded and performed nationally and internationally with some of the worlds most talented and accomplished musicians, actors, directors and authors.

To Our Shareholders, Customers, and Friends:
The year 2014 has been a busy one for the Bank. We are pleased to report another good year, as you will see in the comparative data for the years 2013 and 2014, audited by Crowe Horwath LLP.
Total Bank assets at year's end were $284,828,550.00. The asset size of the Bank was consistent throughout the year. Loans at year's end increased $14,000,000.00, concluding the year at $187,501,728.00. The net income for 2014 was $2,697,363.00. This is a decrease from 2013, mainly due to a larger provision for loan losses. The Bank remains one of the most capitalized in the area among our peers. Shareholder equity at year's end was $45,428,053 on $283.90 book value per share.
Corn and soybean yields were at record levels this past growing season. The yields were high and consistent throughout all of Southern Illinois. However, large yields nationwide caused corn and soybean prices to plummet. The price of corn fell to under $3.00, and soybeans were less than $9.00 during the fall. Prices have improved since the low this fall but remain at levels where profitability is questionable for 2015.
The oil industry also had a turbulent 2014. The year started with good prices and the hope that the State of Illinois would ease some regulations that inhibit drilling. With the November state elections in Illinois, regulations were improved, but oil prices have declined to a five-year low. Most of our oil producers are being very cautious in their plans for 2015.
Manufacturing jobs are still available, and our largest employer, FRAM, continues to advertise for new workers. The unemployment rate for Edwards County has fallen to 6.2%.
This past year resulted in the retirement of three employees. Martha Speir retired as a Vice President in January after forty-three years of service. Staretta Garner and Gayla Hargrave retired in March. Star had been employed with us for over 25 years at Albion, and Gayla was an important member of our Crossville team. We wish all three of them a happy retirement. Carolyn Shultz reached her 40th year of employment with the Bank. Marilyn Wolfe also completed her 70th year of being associated with the Bank, as she became a temporary employee in 1944 and now serves as our Chairperson of the Board of Directors. We appreciate the continued service of Carolyn and Marilyn.
In October, we announced our intent to acquire the assets and liabilities of the Bank of Lawrence County. This has been a big project and has required extra work on the part of many employees. The facilities located in Bridgeport and Lawrenceville will become part of Citizens National Bank of Albion in mid-April and will allow us to expand into Lawrence County. We thank the Directors of the Bank of Lawrence County for their willingness to work with us. We also welcome the twelve employees who will be joining Citizens National Bank of Albion.
We look forward to 2015 and the 75th Anniversary of the Bank. Many activities are planned for this August. Please mark your calendars for the Citizens National Bank of Albion's 75th Anniversary open house on August 2, 2015. We thank you for your ongoing support.
Jan D. Ridgely

Scolastica's Group
This will be her fourth loan request from Tujijenge Tanzania. With her previous loans, which were all paid successfully, she managed to purchase more cooking items like some kilos of sugar, packets of salt, a sack of rice, baking flour and maize flour, and a bucket of cooking oil. With the extra profit earned, she will pay for tuition fees and home expenses. She will use this loan to buy more food items so as to offer more food services . She dreams of owning a wholesale shop .
She will share this loan with her loan group MBAYUWAYU, which totals 10 members who will hold each other accountable for paying back the loan.
Additional Information
About Tujijenge TanzaniaThis loan is administered by Tujijenge Tanzania, which was founded in 2006. It has operations in Dar es Salaam, the coastal region, and the Lake Victoria region. The organization aims to reach out to micro entrepreneurs and provide them with financial and social intermediation services because capital is one of the major barriers to development and success for micro-enterprise initiatives in Tanzania.
For more information on Tujijenge Tanzania, please visit its partner page, or join its lending team.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Hi everyone, thanx for the cc and the supports , I know this can still be improved, I will keep working hard to make my visuals more presuasive ^ ^
Very impressive. Creepy and believable and beautiful all at the same time. If I may, and please do not be offended, but the critter is in super fine focus and looks great.. the ground it is traveling over does not.. especially nearest the tentacles where the lightning is making contact. The depth of field transition doesn't look quite right.
But just fantastic work!

Ahh, it has indeed been long since I first stumbled upon this site as an innocent child. Aye, bad spelling, grammer and all of its influences. Even that certain nuke the ASU. And now, I look back upon this with a great boost of nolstagia.
Being one of the first stories I found on this site back in, oh somewhere in 07, just when Brawl was fresh from release.
Since then, I have gained an account, wrote a couple stories of my own, even participated in some of the better moments of my life. As I look upon this chapter, I notice things that I didn't know of before.
A reference to the Seven Deadly Sins?
Interesting indeed and this is only but the beginning.
Let's see how this goes shall we?
| SaintEthan chapter 2 . 4/17/2011
I know it was, what? Two-hundred something chapters ago? But I noticed you said, "from the author who created the masterpieces Apocalypse and Darkling," in the first chapter. Its natural to be proud of your creations, but that was somewhat concieted. I think youre a great author, but at least showing modesty a little bit is important. You have to keep revising and editing the chapters, cause, my friend, you'll keep getting better as you go, and if you dont have the older chapters show your CURRENT skill, you might lose people by the second chapter. And another thing-if youre still there- characters cant be clean cut. "In the most heroic soul, there is a touch of darkness. Similary, in the darkest heart there is a flicker of light." -David Okum. I havent read most of the story yet, so I dont know if youve started to develop the Smashers and the GamFaxers-is that a GameFaqs spoof I see there? :3- yet, but I will reming you of this- EDIT, EDIT, AND EDIT!
| SaintEthan To lazy to log on chapter 1 . 4/17/2011
I love reading, and I plan to read your other works of art soon, but before I read this, I would like to know if this is what Im looking for- an ultimate smash, with a ton more characters than even SSBB. My account is SaintEthan. Oh, I have no stories because Im working on a really good one right now. Anyway, as any random person in particular might say, see ya!

It seemed to me that it was the only worthy one of mention or the storyline really. And it has been well planned. I wish to know of your secret of how you do it. So please do tell me. Thankyou.

In this chapter you claimed that there are better writers then you out there, could you name a few (professonal Witers dont count).
| i chapter 1 . 10/22/2008
Quick question: What's the point of having reviews if you ignor the bad ones? The point of reviews is to say where it's good, but point out the bad too. You're writing isn't perfect; you have to accept that not everyone will have purely good stuff to say about it.
| JakeCrusher chapter 72 . 10/13/2008
During the whole story I imagined Wario in his Brawl outfit.
| JakeCrusher chapter 71 . 10/5/2008
You know Good and Evil is sometimes about point of view, for example beating up someone (even if they deserved it) may be considered evil in the eyes of some people. I think that adds a twist in the plot.

It's pretty clear that Mitt Romney made a big mistake over the weekend when he told voters that he speaks for "the Republican wing of the Republican Party." Romney handed rivals Rudy Giuliani and John McCain the opportunity to remind GOP primary voters about the Old Romney, who was pro-abortion rights and courted gay voters when he ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate, then successfully for governor of Massachusetts. That's the Romney, who while debating Sen. Ted Kennedy in 1994, proclaimed: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."
Of course the Romney sound bite backfired -- it borrowed a page from the failed strategy of Howard "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" Dean.
Team Romney does not concede that it erred. The full Romney quote shows that Romney was not impugning other GOP hopefuls or claiming that he was the only real Republican.
Romney spokeswoman Sarah Pompei said of Romney's shift against abortion rights and gay rights, "He saw the light." The Reagan-Bush quote? "Our campaign is focused on the future," she responded.
What will the future of the Republican Party hold? There is a schism between Romney and the other frontrunners -- Giuliani, McCain and Fred Thompson. Romney is the only one to sign the Americans for Tax Reform pledge not to raise taxes, a longtime staple of GOP platforms.
"Gov. Romney is committed to keeping taxes low and cutting government spending," Pompei explained.
Giuliani spokesman Jarrod Agen said that the former New York mayor "doesn't sign pledges. You just have to look at his record. His record in New York is cutting taxes." Indeed, FactCheck.org found that while Giuliani's claim to have cut taxes 23 times was exaggerated -- as eight of those 23 cuts were initiated by other lawmakers -- the tax burden on New Yorkers declined from 8.73 percent to 7.24 percent of personal income during the Giuliani years.
ATR President Grover Norquist noted, "We may yet get McCain back on, and he did do it before" in 2000. And: "We don't want to yell at him because he's trying to get his feet back on the ground." Thompson did not sign the pledge when he ran for the Senate in 1996, but Norquist thinks Thompson might sign.
Norquist noted, Romney did not "sign as a governor. He wanted to have the leeway to fiddle." While Romney did not raise income or sales taxes, he did raise taxes (or close loopholes) on corporations.

As donations continue to pour in from around the world, "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" announced on Saturday (January 23) that it has raised more than $58 million to date — a new record for donations made by the general public through a disaster-relief telethon. The preliminary figure includes donations made via phone, online and mobile, and does does not include donations by corporations and large private donors, or iTunes sales figures, all of which are still being calculated.
"The public has set a new standard of giving for a relief telethon with 'Hope for Haiti Now,' and the donations continue to come in — people can still contribute 24/7 via phone, Web and text," said Lisa Paulsen, president & CEO of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing philanthropic support to "Hope for Haiti Now" to ensure proper fiduciary oversight and administration of all donated funds.
The "Hope for Haiti Now" album is the biggest one-day album pre-order in iTunes history and is currently the #1 iTunes album in 18 countries. The studio version of "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)," the original track performed by Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z and Rihanna during "Hope for Haiti Now," is currently the #1 song on iTunes in 12 countries.
"Hope for Haiti Now" will continue accepting donations for six months via the following methods:
» Online: www.hopeforhaitinow.org
» Phone: 877-99-HAITI
» Text: Text "GIVE" to 50555
»Mail: Hope For Haiti Now Fund, Entertainment Industry Foundation, 1201 West 5th Street, Suite T-700, Los Angeles, CA 90017
"Hope for Haiti Now" benefits Oxfam America, Partners in Health, the Red Cross, UNICEF, United Nations World Food Programme, Yele Haiti Foundation, and the newly formed Clinton Bush Haiti Foundation. Proceeds from "Hope for Haiti Now" will be split among each organization's individual funds for Haiti earthquake relief. With the exception of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, each partner organization was selected for its history of operation and collaboration within the nongovernmental organization (NGO) community in Haiti.
"Hope for Haiti Now" was led by Wyclef Jean in New York City, George Clooney in Los Angeles and CNN's Anderson Cooper reporting from Haiti, and featured performances by Wyclef Jean , Madonna , Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige , Shakira and Sting in New York; Alicia Keys , Christina Aguilera, Dave Matthews, John Legend, Justin Timberlake , Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Emeline Michel and a group performance by Keith Urban, Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow in Los Angeles; and Beyoncé, Coldplay and a group performance by Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z and Rihanna in London .
The event also featured appearances by President Bill Clinton , Ben Stiller, Brad Pitt, Chris Rock, Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jon Stewart, Julia Roberts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, Robert Pattinson, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hanks and Muhammad Ali. More than 100 of the biggest names in film, television and music also supported "Hope for Haiti Now" by answering phones and taking donations.
"Hope for Haiti Now" was produced by Joel Gallen and Tenth Planet Productions, in collaboration with Viacom's MTV Networks and George Clooney.
Learn more about what you can do to help with earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti , and for more information, see Think MTV. Visit HopeForHaitiNow.org or call (877) 99-HAITI to make a donation now.
iTunes customers can exclusively pre-order the "Hope for Haiti Now" full-performance album ($7.99) and the full two-hour video telecast ($1.99). Pre-orders will be delivered in the days following the telethon. Individual audio performances will also be available for purchase and download for 99 cents each in the days following the telethon. Apple, the record labels and the artists will donate their share of the proceeds to Haiti relief funds managed by "Hope for Haiti Now" charities, including the Red Cross and Wyclef's Yele Haiti foundation. Performances will also be available for purchase in the days following the event through Amazon's MP3 service and Rhapsody, through distribution provided by INgrooves.

I love this one too. It's a 2 in 1. I usually bring it with us whenever we will have a small trip. So i don't have to bring all of my son's daily bath time essentials. Plus it has a nice scent too

Product Satisfaction Quality Value
My family loves all Mustela products that we are using. It's a blessing that there are products like this that are safe for babies and now that my son is turning 3 still I've been using this to him. He smells so good plus the fact that I am also using the hydra Bebe lotion to him. I'm so proud and happy to hear family and friends saying that our family smells good since we are all using his hydra Bebe lotion :)

My sister came in town and used this on my 6 month old nephew and I instantly loved it. The scent is so fresh and soothing. I bought myself this and use it as a body wash. My husband loves the scent too. Great safe product for babies and adults!
