What do the following have in common: a peach straight from the orchard, a fresh tomato salad with basil and mozzarella, raw cauliflower with a dipping sauce, super-sweet corn on the cob shaved into crab soup and a vegetarian loaf with lentils, garlic, and onions?
Well, for one thing, they all sound delicious.
But there's something esle: they're all items that might be showing up on the menus this year in Baltimore's public school cafeterias.
Tony Geraci, the new top chef for Baltimore city schools (profiled in this great online Gourmet piece), hopes to rescue Baltimore's school lunches from their unhealthy past.
Lunchtime for Baltimore's 82,000 students may never be the same. Long a place where the typical diet centered on snack foods, soda, and fried chicken in a box from the corner store, Baltimore is going Berkeley.
"Anything is possible," says Geraci, a 51-year-old New Orleans native who came to Baltimore from New Hampshire, where he gave school lunchroom menus a major makeover and then ran a program to prepare low-income and developmentally disabled adults for careers in the culinary field. Geraci has vowed that within his first year in Charm City he will wipe out most of the frozen lunches that one teacher describes as "breaded bread with bread sauce," and replace them with Maryland-grown farm specialties at least three days a week.
Gone are the days of rubbery chicken nuggets and fries. In their place the chef plans to offer roasted poultry and baked herbed potatoes. Pizza will now be made with whole-grain crust, and each slice will come with a garden salad and fresh fruit.
As the profile suggests, incorporating whole grains and farm-fresh vegetables will likely be more of a challenge in Baltimore than in a locavore-friendly place like Berkeley. But by the same token, healthier fare could make much more of a difference in a place where children are so unaccustomed to real food. (At lunch last week, on the first day of the new school year, two first-graders told Geraci that it was the first time they'd ever tasted a fresh peach.)
And who knows? If Geraci is as successful as he hopes, maybe one day we'll all be trucking down to the local elementary school to grab lunch.

Food For ThoughtDuo's menus are a reflection of what the growers of the central coast are harvesting in each particular season. Stressing the importance of seasonality and the use of locally grown organic ingredients whenever possible is paramount. Each menu is crafted with three primary factors in mind. First and foremost is the vision of the client, second is the particular season of the event, focusing on what produce is reaching its peak flavor at that time, and finally how best to integrate the two.
These are menus reflective of catering work we have done. We would love to discuss your event to customize a menu for you today.

Dinner Party
Private dinners allow us the opportunity to showcase what excites us in any current season. We are often constrained by the size of an event. As you might imagine cooking for 250 guests is logistically more complex than cooking for 10. Within the intimate setting of a dinner party, whether it is 8 guests or 50 we are able to put a greater focus on the menu at hand allowing us to showcase new ideas and techniques. We look forward to helping to make your next intimate gathering one to remember both for you as the host and your guests.

With a cocktail reception our aim is to excite and inspire our guests, whether it be the pleasant surprise of a carefully crafted bite, or the overall story told by the progression of the cocktail menu that was written to mimic a natural dinner progression.

SALT LAKE CITY - (KSL) A BYU student is getting a lot of attention for his new product that came on the market earlier this year. He claims the product can permanently fix all kinds of things whether they are wood, metal or plastic -- and it is flying off store shelves.
Spencer Quinn, 24, says he's invented the world's strongest repair wrap -- a product that's effective where duct tape fails: underwater, under heavy impact and with heavy loads.
"Everyone knows duct tape, but everyone knows duct tape isn't the perfect fix for a lot of problems," Quinn, founder of Fiber Fix, said.
Quinn says Fiber Fix is a permanent fix for almost anything that needs to be repaired.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
18 Nov 2012 20:32 GMT | Politics, Middle East, France, Iran, Israel
Iran has warned against sending weapons to Syrian rebels, saying it will threaten regional stability and increase the "risk of terrorism."
The Iranian Foreign Minister, Ali Akbar Salehi said in a speech in Tehran on Sunday, as talks between Syrian officials and opposition groups tolerated by President Bashar al-Assad were taking place, that "some countries envisage arming the opposition with heavy and semi-heavy weaponry."
Salehi said such arms deliveries would set a "dangerous precedent" and constitute "a clear interference in the affairs of an independent country."
No National Coalition representatives were invited to the Iran talks.
Live Box 2012108933861442
His speech comes as EU foreign ministers will meet in Brussels on Monday to discuss the lifting of the arms embargo on arms deliveries to Syria.
Russia has also warned in the past that providing the coalition with weapons would be a "gross violation" of international law.
France has publicly said it favours sending "defensive" weapons to the Syrian opposition, after recognising the new Syriam National coalition by deciding to host an ambassador in Paris.
Syria has criticised the French decision as "hostile" as al-Asad forces continued their strikes on southern districts of the capital and across the country.
France on Saturday invited the group to send an envoy to Paris, after President Francois Hollande met National Coalition leader Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib.
The post of National Coalition envoy to France is to be filled by academic Monzer Makhous, although it was unclear if this would happen before a planned provisional government is formed.
"France is acting like a hostile nation," said the Syrian National Reconciliation Minister, Ali Haidar to the AFP news agency, while in Tehran.
"It's as if it wants to go back to the time of the occupation," he added of the French mandate in Syria after World War I.
The opposition coalition, formed in Doha on November 11, is committed to building a transitional government composed of representatives of all ethnic and religious groups in conflict-ridden Syria.
But it refuses to engage with the Damascus regime before al-Assad's departure.
Continued violence
On the ground, Israel said on Sunday that its artillery responded after gunfire from Syria hit an army vehicle but caused no casualties.
"Shots were fired at IDF (Israeli army) soldiers...in the central Golan Heights," an army spokeswoman told the AFP news agency, adding that the Syrian fire hit "a vehicle," but caused no injuries.
In Damascus government artillery bombarded the southern district of Al-Hajar al-Aswad, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Britain-based watchdog, which relies on a network of activists and medics in civilian and military hospitals to compile its tolls, said one civilian was killed and several wounded.
Aleppo and surrounding areas in the north also saw heavy combat, the Observatory said, reporting fierce clashes at regime Base 46 in the province, which has been besieged for weeks.
Artillery fire also hit the provinces of Daraa in the south and Deir Ezzor in the east, where rebels on Saturday said they had seized the key regime airport of Hamdan, a base for helicopter gunships.
The Observatory said at least two rebels were killed in a government ambush in the central province of Hama.
Sunday's fighting came a day after at least 142 people were killed nationwide, according to the Observatory, which has put the death toll in more than 20 months of conflict at 39,000.

At least 63 people are reported killed in Tuesday's clashes, including 41 in Damascus.

Recently there has been talk of a possible sequel to Edge of Tomorrow, although co-star Emily Blunt has some reservations about the idea.
Breaking news has come in that a deadly plane crash occurred on set of Tom Cruise's latest movie Mena. A small plane which was assigned to the crew of the film had a horrific accident leaving two dead and one seriously injured.
Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman found such unexpected success in the sci-fi space that theyre looking to let the good times roll. After Edge of Tomorrow proved to be a sleeper hit of last summer, the leading man is now looking to join Luna Park, another genre film thats also been Limans passion project for quite some time.
I dont want to alarm anyone, but this might be the best mashup video of all time. The opening title card sets the scene: There is a place or fictional characters meet. Outside of time, outside of all logic. This place is known as Hells Club. Watch the mashup below.
Before we fully turn the calendars page to September, though, we want to digest everything that happened these past few months. There have been surprises (both good and bad), and lessons learned by the industry and its patrons. Who are summers biggest Winners and Losers?
Casting chops and changes are made on a regular basis. But which films were drastically altered because of the departure of their A-list leading man? Have a gander inside to see.
Jack Reacher is an ex-military officer who travels the country on a pilgrimage of sorts, stumbling into hardship cases and coming to the rescue of those in need simply because he wants to see good triumph over inherent evils. Reachers quiet, unassuming, but larger than life and brimming with confidence.
When Tom Cruise shoots Jack Reacher 2 later this year, don't expect to see the same leading lady as The Avengers Cobie Smulders is in talks to take the primary female role.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation was a massive success for Paramount. So its no surprise that the studio wants to deliver M:I 6 sooner than later.
Will it happen? Its really far too early to tell. Christopher McQuarrie admitted in the same interview that this is just the the kernel of an idea, and that multiple parties need to get on board with it before it ever becomes a movie that might make it to movie theaters. But they are talking about it.
While Rogue Nation is being touted as one of the best action films of the year, its influences are much more widespread than that. In fact, Tom Cruise has revealed that the silent comedy genre was a huge inspiration during the conception of Rogue Nations most exhilarating scenes.
To sign on for directing duties to a Mission: Impossible film is sort of similar to that part where Tom Cruise hangs onto the edge of a plane. Now, see our list of 10 people we feel could be the next one to strap in and hang on!
The fact that Chris McQuarrie trusted his instincts, and his cast, enough to make that change while already in the process -- and facing an enhanced deadline shows why hes one of the strongest working directors out there today.
Weve been extremely lucky this summer, as 2015 has had some of the best box office offerings weve come across in a good couple of years. Yet amidst the dinosaurs, the fast cars, superheroes, and even the vicious water wars, theres one film that stands out from the pack.
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation continues the story of the IMF, this time pitting them against The Syndicate an anti-IMF led by Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). Audiences, thankfully, embraced this latest mission, meaning Tom Cruise will be able to get the team back together very soon.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation may be full of surprising reveals and twisted plots, but there's one character lurking in the shadows who we were supposed to get much more of.
As Honest Trailers points out, with Cruise leading the way and selecting his directors, weve been privy to the psycho-drama of Brian De Palma, the shaky-cam of J.J. Abrams, the comic sensibilities of Brad Bird, and the diving sideways while holding two guns amidst a flying flock of doves that John Woo provides.
Chris Farley as Ethan Hunt? It works better than you'd think.
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is a thrill-a-minute summer blockbuster. On top of that, though, its one of the years most entertaining films. Dont make the mistake of waiting to see it at home, on cable or VOD.
Tom Cruise has played many iconic roles over the course of his career - but ranking right up towards the top is his supporting turn as studio executive Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder. It's ridiculous, crude, and unlike anything we've seen from the movie star before - but what may surprise you is that the character was actually Cruise's idea to include.

Z50- 216 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A silicon photoconductor apparatus having improved efficiency in infrared radiation detection by Sandblasting the reflective surface of the apparatus and thereby creating a near-infinite number of reflecting angles and a corresponding multiplication of the quantum energy yield.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The development of efllcient and powerful lasers at wavelengths of 1.06 microns has stimulated interest in detectors operating at this wavelength. In typical silicon pbotodiodes, for detecting 1.06# radiation, the requirements for high speed and high sensitivity are mutually exclusive. Since the absorption coeflicient is only 25 cmi-1, a 10-1 cm. path length is required to absorb 92 percent of the incident 1.06# radiation. However, if the electrode separation is any greater than r2 cm., the minority carrier transit time will be greater than 1 nsec. This problem can be solved by allowing the incident light beam to make multiple passes between the electrodes. The optical path length can then be extended to several millimeters, as required for complete absorption, while the electrode separation remains less than 10-2 cm., as required for nanosecond response time. In a typical photodiode geometry, one ohmic contact and one rectifying contact are formed on the two opposite surfacesv of a base wafer, and the wafer thickness determines the electrode separation. The objective of the multiple reflection design is to allow all 1.06# radiation to enter the detector front surface and to from the back detector surtace so that no 1.06# radiation can exit. Total internal reflection at the back detector surface is well suited for light trapping of 1.06# radiation because the relatively large dielectric constant of silicon leads to a critical angle of 16.5 for total internal reflection. Detectors utilizing total internal reflection have been constructed in silicon.
Silicon pbotodiodes are widely used in the detection of visible and near infrared radiation. They can be readily designed to have high quantum efllciency (greater than 70 percent) for wavelengths from 5000 A. to 7500 A. and fast response time (less than 10-9 seo). A variety of such detectors are sold by various manufacturers. The main drawback with these typical pbotodiodes for detecting 1.06 micron radiation is that the requirements for high speed and high sensitivity are mutually exclusive.
Since the absorption coeflicient is only cml, a 10-1 cm. path length is required to absorb 92 percent of the incident 1.06# radiation. Yet if the electrode separation is any greater than 102 cm., the minority carrier transit time will be greater than 1 nanosecond. The prior Cil art attempts to solve the problem by utilizing a technique SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A The present invention describes an apparatus which achieves the same desired result, multiple internal retlection, with none of the attendant limitations of the d1mple technique. The reflective surfaces are sandblasted over any desired area in a very short time with the simplest of equipment, forming, in effect, a myriad of dimples. This approach could be used with any crystalline photodetector to-'enhance the response to wavelengths not absorbed in typical geometries, as long as the increased absorption will result in additional photo-excited carriers. Thus a silicon photoconductor apparatus is provided which will cause multiple reflections of light, incident to its front surface, within its base material. The multiple light reflections within the photoconductor device produces both the high sensitivity and high speed required to detect 1.06# radiation.
It is one object ot the invention, therefore, to provide an improved silicon photoconductor apparatus having high sensitivity and high speed in the detection of 1.06# radiation.
It is another object to provide a silicon photoconductor apparatus having a rough, sandblasted reflecting rear surface.
It is another object to provide a silicon photoconductor apparatus having a multiple total internal reflection for 1.06# radiation.
It is yet another object to provide an improved silicon photoconductor apparatus having substantially higher quantum etllciencies which is economical to produce and utilizes conventional currently available materials that lend themselves to standard mass production manufacturing techniques.
These and other advantages, features and objects of the invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in connection with the illustrative embodiment in the drawings.
FIGURE 1 is a top plan view of the improved silicon photoconductor apparatus, and
FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view of the device of the present invention shown in use with a light beam impinging thereon.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT As will be clear from the drawings, the multiple internal reflection structure in a silicon detector is highly superior to any other detectors currently available to detect 1.06# radiation wtih high sensitivity and high speed. The silicon detector shown in FIGURE l with junction electrode 10 is positioned on the silicon base wafer 12. A more detailed explanation of the operation of the niultiple internal reflection photoconductive detector will be given by referring to FIGURE 2 which is a cross-sectional View along line Il-II of FIGURE l.
FIGURE 2 shows a multiple reflective structure (i.e., one in which all incident 1.06# radiation enters the front surface, but is totally internally reflected back into the detector at the back surface). The path length of the light beam at the end of one reflection in the detector is t-it/cos 20 (l) where 0 is the angle of incidence of the light beam at the back detector surface, and 20 is the angle of incidence plus the angle of reflection. The general expression for theJ optical path length after n internal reflections is d(n)=t(1+1z/cos 20) (2) where ([(lz) equals the optical path length after n reflections, l is the sample thickness, and 0 is the internal angle of incidence at the back detector surface. Combining (l) arid (l), the maximum quantum efficiency for a multiple reilcctive detector of thickness I and 1i reflections is i Quantum etliciency of a photodiode is dependent only on the absorption coefficient, therefore it follows from Lamberts law that @gmt-:tierras iam (--mni t4) where QE is the quantum efiiciency in percent, ri is the absorption coefticient, f! is the optical path length. Equating Equations 3 and 4, we find that d, the optical path length, is directly proportioned to ft'l-l-it/cos 20). Thus, the greater the sample thickness, I and the number of internal reflections, n, the optical path length d will also be proportionately7 longer. Therefore, it can be seen from liquation l that as d becomes larger, the expression becomes larger and QEmx is higher.
I Referring now to FIGURE 2, prior to assembling the photoconductive silicon detector, the silicon base wafer 'lj is processed to produce the multiple internal reflective structure t6. The silicon base wafer 12 may have a maximum thickness of 4 mils but in most applications, this thickness may be substantially smaller. This structure is lextreniely simple and could be utilized on almost any conceivable photodevice. The silicon base wafer l2 back lsurface is simply sandblastcd in an air abrasive machine `with a rough grit. This rough surface is waxed before lthc etching operation, so that it is not chemicalh polished. After etching, the silicon wafer .l2 has one smooth surface (the front surface 14) and one rough Surface (the rear reflecting surface 22.). All angles between 16.5a and 90 produce total internal reflection; therefore, assuming a random collection of incidence angles, substantially all of the radiation reaching the back surface is totally internally reflected.
After the processing of the rear reflecting structure 16 has been completed and before the assembly of the photoconductive detector, an aluminizcd reflecting rear stirface .752 is formed by any of the well-known deposition processes. Now the front electrode it) and the lower electrode 18 may be applied to the silicon base wafer 12 by utilizing conventional semiconductor manufacturing techniques.
Tlie incident light 2t) strikes the front surface at 90 and is transmitted through the sample to the reai' surface. When the incident radiation 2f) strikes the irregular-shaped sandblasted rear surface liti of the silicon base wafer l2, it is reflected through the silicon base wafer l2 toward the antiretlective film .l-l. -The radiation 20 is then reflected from the arttirellective toward the sandlilasted rear surface t6. lt will be noted that the radiaitin ttl will be reflected a number of times before it is either totally absorbed by the base wafer .l2 or escapes the reflecting surfaces. The critical angle in silicon is 16,5" and all radiation incident on the aluminized reflecting rear surface 22 at an angle greater than 825 will be internally reflected for at least two more passes through the base wafer 12. Assuming a random distribution of angles on the sandblasted rear surface 16 from 0 to 90, then substantially all of the entering incident light will be internally reflected for two more passes through the silicon. The base resistivity is large enough that the sample is fully depleted for the voltage applied and also photo excited carriers are rapidly and completely collected. lt a thin gold front electrode .l0 is used in conjunction with a silicon oxide antireection film 'it-l, quantum cflicicncies substantially higher than prior artdevices may be realized with 106,1 radiation. Quantum efficiencies in nonrcllecting silicon structures at l.06p are typically less than l() percent.
In the manufacturing process of multiple-reflection silicon photoconductor devices, surface states and surface potentials were found to be more important than work function differences in determining the junction characteristics of our metal semiconductor diodes. Worl; function differences have an effect on these characteristics, however. For example, aluminum evaporated layers have never formed a junction on our ii-typc silicon base wafers; they always give ohniic characteristeis. (Sold and chromium evaporated films always produce junctions on our etched n-type silicon wafers. The degree of junction perfection is dependent on pre-evaporation sample preparation procedure, and thus is dependent on the proper surface state formations. Good results have been consistently obtained with a long, slow etch followed by a boiling water treatment.
Although the invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment, it will be understood t0 those skilled in the art that the invention is capable of a variety of alternate embodiments within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
I claim:

Is there more to life than money?
11 Apr 2014 19:07 GMT | Middle East
Two members of the Muslim Brotherhood have been killed in an exchange of gunfire with Egyptian security forces in the Nile Delta, the Interior Ministry said, and the Islamist group said another of its supporters was shot dead in Alexandria.The ministry said on Friday the Nile Delta shoot-out began when Brotherhood activists on motorbikes were spotted attempting to set alight a police checkpoint on a road between the cities of Tanta and al-Mahalla al-Kubra north of Cairo.They opened fire on police as they tried to flee, the ministry said."The forces encircled them and took the necessary security measures and exchanged fire. That led to the death of two ofthem," the ministry's statement added. Three others were arrested, it said.The Brotherhood had no immediate comment on the incident. The death in Alexandria was confirmed by senior ambulance service official Omar Nasr, according to the Reuters news agency.
The website of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party identified the man killed as 50-year old Abdel Hakim el-Zamzami. It said he had been shot by security forces and "militias" as they tried to break up a protest.
The increased political violence in the Arab world's most populous country poses a big challenge to former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who toppled Morsi last July and is expected to become Egypt's next president after a May election.
Attacks on the security forces have become commonplace since the army deposed president Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood last July after mass protests against his rule. The state has declared the Brotherhood a "terrorist" group, but its leaders say it remains committed to peaceful activism.
Nearly 500 people, the bulk of them soldiers and policemen, have been killed in attacks since last June, the government said last month.
In a separate incident on Friday, the army said its special forces had killed a top Sinai fighter, naming him as Noural-Hamdeen, according to Reuters. A brief statement posted on the army's Facebook page did not say to which group he belonged.

Ancient game embraced
Relevant offers
A carnival of culture and competition played out at Neale Park yesterday as Nelson's ki-o-rahi tournament showed a sport steeped in tradition can be presented in a style that has traction with youth.
In the year since its introduction into the Tasman Secondary Schools' calendar, the Maori ball sport has doubled in popularity. The all-action game play, overlaid by the atmosphere of a festival event involving 36 teams, made for an entertaining day.
The sport is an almost indescribable mix of handball, netball and rugby. However, the final of the senior boys' competition showed that handling and accuracy are central, while flair and running can break a game.
Nayland College prevailed over Nelson College, 15-12, in the senior boys' final while the Nelson College for Girls' Piki Mai team took out the mixed-grade competition 16-12 against a focused youth Nelson outfit.
In the junior boys' grade, Golden Bay High School also pipped Nelson College 36-35 in a typically tight final encounter. The junior mixed competition saw Motueka High School emerge as winners, defeating a well-drilled Tuia Te Matangi, Te Kura Kaupapa 23-17.
In the intermediate competition, Waimea Intermediate scored both places in the final, Waimea Red beating Waimea Black 23-8.
Ki-o-rahi sees the attacking team run and pass to evade outside defenders on a circular field, earning the right to tag the outside markers with the ball and accumulate a potential point pool. Any number of the seven markers can be hit, but to convert the total number of hits into points, a player in possession must cross the inner circle through defenders without having a rippa tag removed.
If the defending team tags a player in the inside circle, intercepts the ball or picks up a fumble they earn the right to score by throwing the ball from the edge of the inside circle, attempting to hit the central scoring drum shaped target. The defenders earn a point for each successful hit, and can regather the rebound and shoot again, until the attackers regain the ball.
Two teams of seven rotate attack and defence through four five-minute quarters, and the referee is more used as a scoring umpire.
In the senior boys' final, eventual champions Nayland College prevailed through consistent scoring while on defence. The ball handling and projectile precision of the basketball style skills of Laughlan Campion and his cohorts secured victory.
The Nelson College team developed most of their attack across land and, with players of the ilk of Kere Barrett, they often maximised their points pool. When Nelson started to look inside for to convert the points, a loose handle of the mini-football sized ki (ball) saw their hits unconverted.
Eliot Smith, Nayland's coach, said the game was impressively continuous in defence and attack.
"We are learning strategies as we go, but we were picking up some tips and it seemed to work. There are certain vulnerable points on the circular field, but you have to keep focused because it's non-stop."
If the sport was new and fresh, the tournament presentation matched it in every way. The game has minimal stoppages, while on the sidelines, the music and beats didn't stop as students from around the entire region enjoyed the relaxed competition.
Whakatu Marae's Jamein Bristowe said there is a unique sporting vibe being cultivated, yet it is born of an ethos.
"It was just really cool to see all the players using fair play, that's what we try and promote within Maori sports. The first thing is about having fun, also winning, but more about manaakitanga - supporting each other."
The pre-colonial sport is still played regularly in pockets of France and Italy, where the Maori Battalion trod in World War II.
At that time there were probably as many goose steps and spins, but it is arguable if the techniques of lifting or launching yourself from a kneeling team-mate's back to shoot were attempted. Motueka High School's junior team pushed the boundaries, but just the same, the sport of ki-o-rahi was breaking moulds.
Bristowe said that if the trend of growth continued it was only a matter of time before the full contact version was brought out for senior boys.
That would see a whole new element added to the mix.
"If it's next year or the year after, I don't know. But it is definitely the direction we want to go in," Bristowe said.

This was a really good reading experience. Children's comics can sometimes be a bit condescending, talking down to their young readers. This book is nothing like that. And I should of course have realised, seeing as it is the great Emmanual Guibert who has written these short stories. But being able to create masterpieces for adult readers (Alan's War and The Photographer among others) does not necessarily translate into being able to write for kids. But Guibert masters both.

I anthropomorphic animals so it wasn't too hard to become smitten with Ariol and his friends and family. Ariol is a donkey just like you and me! He is, it's true! It's so easy to relate to Ariol — his actions and thoughts are so believable and so are the situations that Ariol finds himself in.

I've been wanting to read this cute looking kids comic series for a while and now that vol. 4 has just been published thought I'd start in. The series ended up being as cute as I had expected but more funny and adult-humour suited than expected. It is the type of humour that kids appreciate on one level while adults on a whole other. A collection of several unrelated (plot-wise) short stories which contain the same characters. The kids (all various animals) are not given an age but are somewhere ...more

The days are shorter than recess and Ariol would like nothing better than to migrate South like a bird. But instead he has to leave his warm, comfy bed to go to school every morning. School's not all bad, there's his best friend Ramono who always comes up with cool games to play and pranks to pull. And Petula, who is the prettiest cow Ariol has ever seen. On the other hand there's also Mr. Ribera, the gym teacher who, in fact, has no sense of humor and Bizzbilla who won't leave him alone. If Ar ...more

Recommends it for: Adults, teens, kids.
Recommended to Helen by: No-one.
This book is Volume 1 of the Ariol graphic novel - well, maybe this is a kids' comic book rather than a graphic novel - series of graphic novels. Like the later volume of Ariol I previously read, I found this first volume surprisingly pleasant and enjoyable, with interesting nuanced characterizations of the protagonist's classmates, his family, their interactions and so forth.

Den andra svenska samlingen med fransmännen Guiberts och Boutavants underhållande barnserie Ariol, och den är minst lika kul som den första. Boken består av ett antal korta historier om den lilla åsnan Ariol, hemma och i skolan, med teman som kärlek och vänskap, men också mer nonsensartade historier. När jag nu läst samtliga böcker i den andra omgången av Rabén & Sjögrens satsningen på barnserier är det tydligt att Ariol fortfarande är det starkaste kortet, tätt följt av de nytecknade serier ...more

I love comics – I am not opposed to reading whatever I come across, especially if someone is giving it to me. When I picked up Ariol, based on the art of the cover I thought it was going to be much more of a kiddy comic than what I got. The characters appear to be in high school and sometimes the humor seems targeted at adults. Of course I'm sure teens would be entertained as well. There is some school time, family interaction, silly game playing (Did you ever play that kissing game when you wer ...more

The French are different from you and me. They have better comics for their kids. Sure, America's been doing passably well in the last few years, but take a look at the graphic novel shelves of your local library or bookstore and you won't be able to help but notice how many of the names there sound distinctly French. Joann Sfar. Guillaume Dorison. Goscinny. The list goes on. While we've been frittering away our time with discussions of "New Adult" fads, the French have come very close to perfec ...more

Shelves: animal-characters, graphic-novels, chapter-books
This is a fun little collection of short graphic stories for elementary-aged kids. All the characters are different kinds of animals, which reminds me of Babymouse a bit. Ariol also often drifts off into fantasy like Babymouse, though the stories are realistic, based on school and family. The fragmented nature of this book reminded me of Astronaut Academy and Dance Class - it's extremely episodic. Recommended for young Babymouse fans.

Ariol is a silly little donkey that acts just like a normal kid. he goes to school, likes a girl, and is liked by another girl. He even has issues with his friends, parents and teachers.Each story is 2-4 pages long making it quick and easy read for somewhat older kids. As a warning there are a few jokes and references to the biblical term for a donkey. Ariol is quirky and odd, yet fun. Big Nate in the Barnyard!

This book is a cool and funny book which includes 10 different cool adventure with Ariol and his friends during different times in the season. The reason I picked this book is because the cover looked interesting and the book was in color plus I love reading little stories and why not get a little bunch and stuff it all into one big book. The reason finished the book is because I couldn't just stop reading the book, it gave me a non-stop action of reading. With the colors in the book makes the b ...more

Quirky little French import, some of the humor may be lost in translation? This is not one long story as in a typical graphic novel, but a collection of 10 episodes, some work better than others. There are a lot of strange names, all in capital letters. Stupid and idiot are used quite liberally, some young readers may be sensitive to this language. Dumbass is also used during a philosophical discussion (about the intelligence of their species) between Ariol and his mom. Curious to see how the st ...more

This was funny, like, 25% of the time: when Ariol changes in his bed because it's cold (hits a bit close to home) and when everybody starts running with him when all he wants to do is be alone with Petula. Oh! And that Petula's mom calls her "moo moo". I would maybe rec this to tweens who are really into comic collections (like Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes). I didn't love it as much as other comic collections, but I am old and jaded.

This is my new favorite kids comics character/series. Ariol is a donkey, but he acts just like a little boy you know. He idolizes a TV superhero and is constantly scheming ways to fulfill his deepest desires (i.e. procure the coolest new sneakers, win the affections of his crush etc).
Short comics are funny and full of day to day life adventures. Must read for grades 3-5.

This definitely falls more into the "comic book" realm versus the "graphic novel realm" of things. The story follows a donkey and his various animal friends, presenting various stories that deal with growing up/school/parents. It's fun and entertaining in its own right, but by no means would I categorize it as "Literature."

Ariol – Just a Donkey Like You and Me by Emmanuel Guibert and Marc Boutavant – Graphic Novel – 2nd grade and up – So glad that a blogger mentioned this book, quite entertaining and hilarious.

This book is weirdly fun and I couldn't help but laugh at the adventures of Ariol, the tween donkey. I didn't love the illustrations but the writing kept me entertained. The little details are hilarious: a horse named "Battlemess," the teacher who constantly overuses "in fact," the fly who is in love with Ariol.

In many ways this title reminded me of the Squish series, but through a slightly distorted lens. It has some humor, but occasionally it has a slight edge to it-the kind that makes you a bit guilty for being amused. But I do think the book has kid appeal, especially for Squish fans.

Was bothered by Ariol's obnoxious personality until I remembered he is supposed to be a "tween" donkey (Guibert kinda nailed it, then). Overall, felt mostly "meh" about Ariol and his band of semi-annoying/oddly-named friends.

These delicious soft chewable candies are fizzy, sour and refreshing. Ramune is a traditional clear soda in Japan that has a sweet but subtle lemon lime taste but also has a bubble gum flavor to it.
