Comendite is a hard, peralkaline igneous rock, a type of light blue grey rhyolite. Phenocrysts are sodic sanidine with minor albite and bipyrimidal quartz. Comendite occurs in the mountains Tibrogargan, Coonowrin, Tunbubudla, Coochin, Saddleback, Tibberoowuccum and Ngungun in the Glass House Mountains, South East Queensland, Australia. The blue colour is caused by very small crystals of riebeckite or arfvedsonite. Comendite also occurs in Sardinia, Corsica, Ascension Island, Ethiopia, Somalia and other areas of East Africa. The 1903 eruption of Changbaishan volcano in north-east China erupted comendite pumice.
Comendite derives its name from the area of Le Commende on San Pietro Island in Italy, where the rock type is found.

Ever since I was diagnosed with cancer I have heard "Wow, you're so inspiring" come from people's mouths. In a way, I really don't agree.
What's so inspiring about being picked by chance to have cancer?
Inspiring is to overcome the odds. I haven't overcome anything…yet. I find Lance Armstrong to be inspiring because he beat the odds and did something amazing – he won the tour de France when his body was supposed to be dead. When he was supposed to be weakened by chemo he managed to cycle hard enough to win an award and beat out all those healthy bodies vying for that award. THAT is amazing.
All I've done so far is what anybody else would do. I go to my doctors appointments, take my medicine and manage not to die. I honestly could be doing more. I could be working. There are thousands of people with cancer who raise kids, take care of someone else and work jobs. I am doing none of that. I don't really see how just surviving is being an inspiration at this point.
I hear all the time "I could NEVER get through what you are". Well, considering that most cancers are considered "sporadic", i.e. they happen by chance – what else are you going to do? Kill yourself? No. You do what everyone else who develops cancer does….you get through it. There is an inner resilience we all have. Rarely is it called upon but when it is…it is there.
I'm not trying to minimize my struggle or the struggle of others with cancer. I would definitely agree – cancer is hard. But I also would not lift myself up to hero status just because I happened to come down with a disease. Being sick does not a hero make.
What will make me a hero is what I choose to do with my life post cancer. Will I go on to help others? To create positive change in this world? If I survive cancer it will just be another hard thing that I've had to overcome. List them altogether and yes, it is impressive. What's more impressive is that I didn't become a drug addict or an alcoholic honestly. That I haven't managed to kill myself yet. That I still try to be a good person even when I have repeatedly been slapped in the face by life.
One day, I would like to be an inspiration. But I don't think I'm quite there…yet.

National Geographic has recommended that tourists explore the neighborhoods of New Orleans. Most tourists do not have an opportunity because so few are available to tourists.Audubon Park House is in the Uptown neighborhood of New Orleans wher This B&B offers the tourist a very unique place to stay in a very unique part of the city. Just recently National Geographic filmed the lagoon located minutes away which is a sanctuary filled with the sounds of wild birds, wild ducks, ibises, egrets, and herons. A streetcar runs at the head of the park which enables tourists to visit the historical French Quarter. At the foot of the park is the Audubon Zoo and at it's back runs the mighty Mississippi River. A swamp exhibit in the zoo captures the true nature of New Orleans before it was established as an urban center.One can experience the history of the city through the eyes of owner Barbara Lefevre Martin, who was born down River on land which was once part of a plantation where the British battled for the control of Louisiana in 1812. She will be happy to share her history with her guests.

Hi, i used this forum for my GCSE mathematics, and I managed to get an A in the end! Firstly, if any of you remember my panicked questions, i would like to thank you for all the help given as similar questions came up in the test requiring that method to solve them! I moved to higher tier 4 weeks before i broke up from school, so had to ask friends and you helpful people for help, but thankfully it was worth it and i got the A.. so thank you all who helped!
Anyway.. I have moved on. I am now doing A2 level maths along with biology, chemistry, english language (and a spanish course for beginners). My teacher has given me some terribly hard questions and i was wondering if anyone could get me going on these.. the whole class thinks they are hard but i need to try and answer some! So hear goes..

1b) State the value of x for which 9^x = 3.
2) If x^p = (√x)^3, x^q = 1/x^2 and x^r=x^p/x^q
a) Find the value of x
b) Evaluate x^r when x = 4
3a) Express (1+√2)^2 in the form a+b√2, where a and b are integers to be found.
3b) By substituting x = y^1/2, or otherwise, solve the equation 6y^1/2 = y+9
There are more questions.. many more but to get me started some help on those would be great

Cancer research
This is an exciting time for cancer research. Advances in technology have brought us closer to fully understanding what causes cancer, how it develops, how to prevent it, how best to treat it and how to improve the quality of life of people living with cancer.
Cancer research in Canada and around the world continues to move us closer to the day when most cancers will be curable and others will be managed as chronic diseases like diabetes and asthma. Today, more than 60% of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least 5 years after their diagnosis. This is a great improvement over the 1940s when the 5-year survival was about 25%. As our knowledge grows, we will make even greater progress against cancer.
Cancer research is a step-by-step process. It involves collecting and thoroughly analyzing information. This information may come from lab research and studying people with cancer. New discoveries often build on previous research studies.
Cancer research covers a wide range of activities and aspects of scientific study. The following are some of the types of cancer research that are improving our understanding of the disease.
Basic cancer research
Basic cancer research takes place in the lab. Through experiments, researchers look at how cancer cells behave and try to understand cancer at its deepest levels. In some of these experiments, cells taken from tumours of people with cancer are studied either in a test tube (or similar lab equipment) or injected into an animal such as a mouse so the animal develops cancer. Understanding the basic processes of these cells can help researchers understand how normal cells become cancerous. In other experiments new cancers may be created in animals in order to test for substances that cause cancer or to study how well a possible new treatment works and the side effects of a new treatment.
Researchers are doing a variety of basic cancer research studies to:
- understand what controls cell division and cell death
- find out how normal cells become cancer cells to try and block this process
- find out what makes cancer cells spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body
- look for certain substances, called tumour markers, that may be found in people with certain types of cancer
- identify unique characteristics of cancer cells to help design new treatments with fewer side effects
- find out why certain cancer cells and tumours become resistant to treatment
- understand the genetic basis of different cancers to find out what might make someone more vulnerable to cancer or find the most effective treatments for a certain type of cancer
Translational research
A major focus of research today is to take knowledge gained from lab research studies and use it to develop better methods to prevent, find or treat cancer. Researchers are also trying to use knowledge that doctors gain from looking after people with cancer to come up with ideas to study in the lab. Gathering information from the lab bench and taking that information to study at the bedside, and back again to the lab, is called translational research.
Clinical research
Cancer treatment is based on scientific evidence, which means that it has been well tested first in the lab on cells and animals before it is tested in groups of people with cancer. Clinical research is one of the most important ways we can improve how we treat and manage cancer as well as understand what raises or lowers a person's risk of developing cancer.
Clinical trials
A major type of clinical research is clinical trials. Clinical trials are research studies that test new ways to prevent, find or treat cancer. Canada is an international leader in conducting clinical trials. Current clinical trials are looking at:
- ways to reduce your risk of developing cancer
- better ways to find cancer at an early and more curable stage
- new anticancer drugs
- better ways of performing surgery or giving radiation therapy
- more effective ways to combine treatments
- which complementary and alternative therapies might help people with cancer
- ways to improve the lives of people with cancer
Anticancer drugs often show promising results in lab tests. But researchers have to show that these drugs are safe and work well in people before Health Canada will approve them to be given by doctors to people with cancer.
An essential feature of clinical trials is that patients must give 'informed consent' before enrolling in a trial. This means that they are given a detailed verbal and written explanation of the potential benefits and risks (including the possibility of unknown risks) of participating in the study. A written consent form must be signed by both the patient and the researcher.
For research in childhood cancers, the Children's Oncology Group (COG) works with cancer researchers from around the world to understand the causes of childhood cancer and find better treatments. COG is the largest multi-centre trial group in the world and conducts clinical trials in pediatric cancer centres in Canada and elsewhere.
Find out more about clinical trials and the COG.
Database and chart review studies
Database and chart review studies look at information from people with cancer in hospital records or a database of information like a cancer registry. Cancer databases store information about particular groups of people with cancer, such as those with a certain type of cancer, so that research can be done in the future. Such studies can help to find out which people in a particular group benefit most or least from a currently available test or treatment.
Population-based research
Population-based research is often done using enormous databases that keep track of information about people (such as all people in a province who develop cancer over a certain period of time) to try to find the causes of cancer. Researchers compare risks of specific cancers in different populations of people with cancer according to factors such as age, sex, race or ethnicity, family history of cancer or place of birth. This helps researchers to get clues about genetic, environmental or other factors that may be important causes of a particular type of cancer. Researchers also look for changes in cancer risk over time that might give additional clues.
Population-based research also looks at the quality of cancer care and access to it in different communities across the country so that any differences can be corrected.
Behavioural research
Behavioural research looks at how our lifestyle, including diet, physical activity, type of work and whether you smoke or drink, affects our risk of getting cancer or can affect whether a previously treated cancer recurs (comes back). This type of research also looks at what motivates us to have healthy behaviours and why we don't always choose them. Behavioural research can help develop strategies to encourage people to adopt healthy behaviours such as not smoking, using sun protection, being physically active and not drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. For many people a healthy lifestyle will prevent cancer or improve cure rates and promote overall better health. Behavioural research may be retrospective and look at a person's behaviour up to now or be prospective and study behaviour in a clinical trial.
Psychosocial research
Psychosocial research looks at the emotional, or psychological, and social impact that the disease has on people with cancer, their families and their caregivers and studies the most effective ways to help support these people. Psychosocial researchers also study a variety of issues related to quality of life in people with cancer, survivors and their families.
Survivorship research
Survivorship research looks at how cancer affects people throughout their lives. For example, one area of survivorship research studies the late side effects and complications of treatment. Such research looks at the best way to treat or prevent late side effects and may also compare the long-term side effects of new treatments with past treatments. New treatments may cause different long-term problems. Improving the long-term health of survivors is now an important part of overall childhood cancer care.
Genetic research
Many people have a higher risk of developing certain kinds of cancer because they inherit an abnormal gene from one of their parents. Individuals suspected of having an inherited abnormal gene may have a test to look for an abnormal gene if they have a strong family history of cancer or have developed a certain type of cancer (often at a young age) or both. Looking for new cancer genes is a very active area of research. In families who have a cancer gene, individuals who have never had cancer can be tested to find out if they also carry the cancer gene. Those who haven't inherited the cancer gene can be reassured that their risk of developing a cancer associated with the abnormal gene is no higher than a person who has an average risk. Family members who have inherited the abnormal gene can be advised to take special actions to prevent cancer or detect cancer early.
Funding cancer research in Canada
The research process is expensive. Each year, hundreds of Canadian researchers working in hospitals, research centres and academic institutions, such as universities, need funding to support their work. Their projects range from basic lab research to population health and to clinical trials that look at preventing cancer, treating cancer and improving the quality of life for people living with cancer.
The federal government is the largest funder of cancer research in Canada. The Canadian Cancer Society is the largest national charitable funder of cancer research in the country, and funds research through the Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute (CCSRI). CCSRI follows a strict review process to make sure that only excellent research receives funding.
Find out more about how the Canadian Cancer Society funds research.
Volunteers provide comfort and kindness
Thousands of Canadian Cancer Society volunteers work in regional cancer centres, lodges and community hospitals to support people receiving treatment.

This recipe is actually my Aunt Zelda's, but my grandmother loved it so much I have no qualms with calling it hers. As a matter of fact, the last few months of her life my grandmother would sneak a small piece every day. She wasn't allowed to eat sweets by her doctor, but she didn't care. The brittle was one of her vices and she wasn't going to give it up for anyone. Right after she passed away, my Aunt Carrie was cleaning her room when they found her stash of peanut brittle. It turns out she was eating the brittle my wife had made for her as part of her Christmas gifts.
It makes me happy knowing that we were able to give her a little bit of comfort every day.
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of white corn syrup
1/4 cup of water
2 cups of roasted, unsalted peanuts
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
You should make peanut brittle on a clear, low humidity day or the candy won't harden.
Before you do anything, go ahead and spread butter on an oven safe sheet pan. When you have molten hot, sticky sugar ready to spread out the last thing you want to do is try to set the speed record for greasing a sheet pan while your sugar continues cooking in the pot. From personal experience, I seriously suggest you do this step first.
In a heavy, stainless steel pot combine the cup of sugar, the half cup of white corn syrup and the fourth cup of water.
Bring everything up to a boil, and keep it boiling for about four minutes. Once I didn't wait the whole four minutes and the recipe failed. Four minutes, no less!
Add the peanuts, drop the heat down to medium and stir constantly. The white blur in the middle of the picture is my wife whipping the spatula around the pot at top speed. You're looking for the mixture to start turning a golden brown. It's tough to see exactly when this happens, so make sure you have lots of light. If you don't cook the sugar enough, the candy won't set at all, so make sure it's golden brown! Remove the pot from the heat and continue stirring.
Add the tablespoon of butter and teaspoon of vanilla extract to the pot and continue stirring until both are integrated into the sugar. I'm a big fan of Adams Extract, and ship it to my baking friends around the world. I highly suggest using it in this recipe, but any good quality vanilla extract will do.
Now for the tough part. Add the teaspoon of baking soda (make sure it's fresh!) and per the instructions from my aunt, "Beat it like HELL!" The sugar will start to foam a little bit and turn lighter in color.
Pour the mixture out immediately on your greased sheet pan and spread it out thin as quickly as possible. Adding a bit of butter to the spreading device helps the brittle not stick to it. Let the brittle cool.
When it's done cooling, break the brittle into manageable pieces and eat right away. To store it, keep the leftover brittle in an airtight container. This will keep it fresh for a long, long time.
I hope you're having a great holiday!

If you didn't know yet how out of touch the president is, his Friday "[private sector] doing fine" comment just said it all. Now, compare this with his charm offensive paragraph, he continuously uses when he address various Jewish groups. "If during this political season you hear some question of my administration's support for Israel, remember that it's not backed up by the facts," Obama said in his speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), in March, "There should not be a shred of doubt right now: When the chips are down, I have Israel's back."
Backed up by facts? Well, Liz Cheney summed it up best when it comes to the President's record, to his Middle East policies and relationship with Israel. "There is no president who has done more to delegitimize and undermine the State of Israel than President Obama," Cheney said, to huge applause from the 13,000 attendees at the Washington Convention Center.
Five months before election day, President Obama leads a new poll of swing states, from Purple Strategies, by 2 points over Mitt Romney overall. But Romney has taken a lead in crucial Florida and Ohio – in Ohio by 3 percentage points and in Florida by 4.
The poll confirms what has long been expected — a tight contest in which the redrawn political map will be a major factor. "This marks the first time since January that the candidates were within 2 points of each other in these critical purple states," the pollsters wrote. "Despite still trailing, Mitt Romney has reached his highest vote total since our tracking began in September of 2011."
A recent Quinnipiac poll had Romney leading the president in Florida by a 47-41 margin. In addition the latest Rasmussen poll of Likely Ohio Voters shows Romney with 46% support to Obama's 44%.
Much of that can be attributed to the Jewish vote, both in Ohio and Florida, in which the Jewish vote makes up 5-8 percent of the electorate on Election Day.
Consistent with other poll data, President Obama now leads Mitt Romney among registered Jewish voters 64% to 29%, according to the latest Gallup poll. That's a 14 point decline in support for the President since 2008, and a 7 point increase in support for the Republican candidate, since John McCain's 22 percent on Election Day.
While Obama, now at 46%, is down among all registered voters by 5%, among Jewish voters he is down 10 points since Gallup's last poll in 2008. According to Gallup, 83% of Jewish registered voters say they definitely will vote, which put's Obama at around 60% of the vote, compared to Romney's 30%. This is currently the highest portion of Jewish votes for a Republican candidate since Reagan in 1984.
In a press release following the Gallup poll results, RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said, "This poll is another sign of the erosion of support for Obama among Jewish voters. If the President wins just 64% of the Jewish vote, it would be a disaster for him and his party. Jewish voters are increasingly disillusioned with the President and that's why Mitt Romney is making real inroads in the Jewish community this year."
Jewish support for Democratic presidential candidates has exceeded 64% since 1988; Michael Dukakis took just 64% of the Jewish vote when he was soundly defeated by George H.W. Bush, the RJC notes. In 1992, Bill Clinton won 80% of the Jewish vote. In 1996, he was re-elected with 78% of the Jewish vote. Al Gore won 79% of the vote in 2000 and John Kerry took 76% in 2004. President Obama won 78% of the Jewish vote in 2008.
Another poll published last week by pollster Steven Cohen for The Workman's Circle, shows President Obama with only 59 percent of the Jewish vote, compared with 27 percent for Romney. If the undecided vote were to split down the middle, the margin would be 68-32 percent, a far cry from Obama's 78 percent Jewish backing in 2008.
Support for Romney by 32 percent the Jewish community could be a clincher, according to Tevi Troy, one of Romney's senior campaign advisors on Jewish and Israel issues.
"If a Republican candidate gets in the 30s, they're almost certain to win an election. If they get under the 20s, they're almost certain to lose," he was quoted as saying by the European Jewish Press.
"There's this 28 percent spread, which I like to think about in terms of its Hebrew gematria (numerology), which is koach, meaning strength," he continued. "This 28 percent shows the disproportionate strength of the Jewish vote given its relative numbers."
While expressing confidence in Mitt Romney's ability to make significant inroads among Jewish voters, Matt Brooks pointed out in a conversation with me last month, that in 2000, George W. Bush got only 19 percent of the Jewish Vote and narrowly carried Florida. And by the time of his re-election, with an overall 24% of the Jewish vote, the state of Florida wasn't even close. However, he added, that "the more votes we take from the Democrat's core base, the more it will impact the overall competitiveness of this race," Brooks said.
If the final results indeed turn out to be closer to the 59 percent figure, Obama would receive the lowest percentage of the Jewish vote in a presidential election of any Democrat since Jimmy Carter, Jonathan Tobin notes in the Commentary Magazine.
"The pollsters insist, not without some reasons, that Israel does not appear to be a determining factor in the presidential vote. It bears repeating that the vast majority of Jews are not single issue voters on Israel and, like most Americans, will cast their votes based on other issues–principally, the economy."
"If as the poll shows, the decline in Obama's share of the Jewish vote is greater than the losses he is encountering in other sectors in national polls," he continues. "Analysts need to ponder what it is about the president that is repelling a higher proportion of Jewish supporters to abandon his ship than elsewhere."
"Because, as the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports, this otherwise heavily liberal population is still steadfast in its support for Israel as well as sympathetic to its current government, it is not unreasonable to suppose that those sentiments have led them to be, at the very least, a bit less favorable to a president who spent his first three years in office picking fights with Israel. Like the rest of the country, more Jews are disillusioned with the president's handling of the economy, but is that enough to explain a potential loss of almost a quarter of the votes he received four years ago?".
Obama is certain he knows what's good for Israel. Given his record and the Iranian threat, it's an impossible sell, Michael Goodwin writes in an opinion editorial for Fox news, Portraying President Obama as "Israel's worst frenemy."
President Obama's efforts explaining his Israel record are also having little impact on the people of Israel, a Smith research poll for the Jerusalem post shows. Although, the numbers saying the President is pro-Israel has doubled, only Twenty-four percent of respondents said US President Barack Obama's administration was more pro-Israel than pro-Palestinian, 24% said it was more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israel, and 36% called it neutral. Sixteen percent did not express an opinion.
An additional Jerusalem Post survey of Americans in Israel, who are eligible to vote, shows that Mitt Romney holds a 2-1 lead in Israel. The poll, which was conducted by the Shvakim Panorama company and released exclusively to The Jerusalem Post, found that 59.9 percent said they would likely, very likely, or definitely vote in the US election, 19.6% said it was unlikely, and 18.1% said they would definitely not cast their ballots.
Among respondents, presumptive Republican candidate Mitt Romney received 32.3%, compared to President Barack Obama with 14.7%, with 27.2 calling themselves undecided. The remaining respondents did not provide an answer. Among the 27.2% undecided, 66% said they viewed Obama unfavorably and 19.5% favorably, while 25.6% viewed Romney favorably and 17.3% unfavorably. When asked about Obama's position on Israel, 63% called it unfriendly and 33% friendly.
These voters can make the difference in Florida with an appropriate outreach, as the iVoteIsrael.com is attempting to do. Since in the 2000 presidential race, which was decided by 537 absentee ballots cast in Florida, only 64 votes came from Israel even though there are thousands of Floridians in this country.
Speaking to Haaretz over the weekend, Romney's senior Foreign policy adviser, Ambassador Richard Williamson told Chemi Shalev expressed optimism in doing better among Jewish voters, in particular due to the state of the economy."I don't think religious or other demographics are going to influence the result as much as the performance of the president and the failure to get jobs," he said.
"Having said that there are different sub groups in the United States that have voting patterns and we hope to do a little bit better that normal among all those groups." The only figure that matters he added is "in November, and it will be 50.1% of the American vote."
Nonetheless, all indications lead to a compelling assertion, that with a staggering economy and a poor foreign policy record, followed by an exiguous message, Mitt Romney is the favorite to win the presidential election. Particularly by making significant inroads among key factions, such as Florida's Hispanic and Jewish communities, this and a confident message and a trustworthy blueprint to restore America's greatness and leadership role in the World.

ArisID: Open Source Development Software for Identity Management
Software called ArisID should allow developers to write protocol-independent applications that automatically incorporate identity management standards. The overall goal is to protect user data in a dependable and secure manner.
OpenLiberty.org was founded as an open collaborative in January 2007 for designing platform-independent products and services for identify management. Financing for the project was largely provided by the Liberty Alliance, with members including Sun, Novell, HP, Oracle, NEC and Intel. "From the user perspective as well as that of the deploying organization, it's an issue of who is trusted with what," according to the Alliance mission statement. With the new ArisID development software, the Alliance wants to provide programmers a tool with which they can build identity management standards right into their applications.
ArisID gets its name from ProjectAris, as in Aristotle. Its goal is to develop a common API for existing identity management technologies. A significant part of the work involves CARML (Client Attribute Requirements Markup Language), a proposed common language base for that purpose. The project promises for its first release that developers can rely on SQL databases and LDAP libraries for help. They hope then to extend functionality to Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), Liberty Identity Web Services (ID-WSF), OpenID and the OASIS WS-Trust standard. The second core aspect of the ArisID API are the WS-Policy Privacy Constraints, Identity Governance Framework (IGF) standards defined by the Liberty Alliance in June 2008.
The standards are "atomic constraints on the use, display, retention, storage and propagation of identity data" and ensure that the identity management method used is truly relevant for the application.
Aristotle project leader and Oracle collaborator Phil Hunt will present ArisID in a comprehensive webcast on Thursday, December 11 at 8:00 AM Pacific time. Interested participants can register for the one-hour webcast here.

Please link to DR.
The week begins with Hope moving out with Ciara and into the Kiriakis mansion. Bo arrives home and finds Hope packing her things to leave. "it's the same old story: Ciara can't be in the house anymore, there are too many bad memories, she needs a different environment, "rattles off Reckell. "Bo's like, 'Well, lets sell the house and get another one.' He offers everything he can." Hope isn't interested, because she has already found another home; the Kiriakis mansion."To Bo, that's unbelieveable," admits Reckell. "How could Hope even consider living with a criminal?" Hope goes on about how much Grandpa Victor loves Ciara and that he has a great backyard. Even though Bo hates this and doesn't want them to go, he goes along with it. "He realizes the bottom line is Hope needs more time," concedes Reckell.
But, being home alone turns out to be the best thing for Bo because he discovers someone breaking into the house, and it's his ex, Carly. "Bo lets them come in and tackles them to the ground, "says PR. He turns the person over and it's Carly. "At first, he's like, 'What the heck is she doing here?'" previews Reckell. Lawrence's death comes into the picture, and being that they have the history they have, she tells Bo why she did it. He's the only one who knows, so they go from there. Bo has no reason not the believe her. "Carly and Bo's whole relationship started with Bo kicking the crap out of Lawrence, because he was beating up on Carly. Bo's upset for Carly and want's to help her." He agrees to protect her from Lawrence's clan.
Meanwhile, Hope arrives at Victor's, prompting him to call Bo and demand he get over there at once to talk to her. However, Bo's a little busy and tells Victor he can't. "So what if Victor says, 'Come over?'" shrugs PR. "Hope was very emphatic that she needed time alone. Bo's giving her the time and space she asked for."
Bo agrees to help Carly and keep her hidden, but she's almost discovered by Maggie. who quickly informs Hope there's a woman at her house. Hope shows up and Bo admits that and old friend from out of town was there. He just avoids any facts about who she is.
Carly sneaks out to check on Rafe and Bo follows. Later she retuns home and breaks down in Bo's arms. She admits that she fears for her life. She also tells Bo this isn't just about her. It invovles someone else too. "He's being a friend, just listening and comforting her," explains PR. Could there be more? "Oh, no. That doesn't even enter his mind. He wants to make sure his family gets back together. The romantic part of it doesn't even occur to him. For Bo, she was not a replacement fo Hope; she was held in a different place in his heart." "She's more like a dear friend who he experienced lots of things with."
Bo better be on his toes; Lawrence's Aunt Vivian is back and determined to make Carly pay for her crime.

Not just to Bo.
ROFL. Victor has a great backyard??? Well, then, I stand corrected; it actually makes perfect sense for Hope to move into the Kiriakis mansion and surely has nothing to do with keeping her close to Justin. :eyeroll:
Thanks for posting, Angie!

This sonds really good!
I would rather see Hope go live with Alice than Victor. I think that's a little out of character, but maybe they'll mention why Hope isn't going to live at the Horton house. Probably not though.
I can't wait to see Bo and Carly together. Their meeting sounds so genuine and nothing underlying like it usually was with Billie.
Of course Maggie's the one that senses a woman has been at the house. She really needs to mind her own business. And go Bo for being honest with Hope and telling her that an old friend is staying with him. Bo's not one to lie to Hope, so I'm glad he tells her the truth, while still keeping his word to Carly by not telling Hope which friend is staying with him.
So someone else is involved? Carly obviously had another child. I really hope the child turns out to be Chad and not Mia.

Classic Soap Fan
|Okay, wait one big furry second and tell me I did not imagine an entire storyline in the late 1980s where Bo & Hope moved into the Kiriakis mansion shortly after Bo learned he was Victor's son. Bo used the excuse of wanting to get close to his father while he was secretly spying on his criminal activities, but Hope didn't know that and didn't want to live with Victor. She HATED Victor. Hell, I think Bo & Hope nearly split up over the issue of living in the Kiriakis mansion. Didn't Hope even have a miscarriage during this time? Of all the places in the world where Hope would've moved to, the Kirakis mansion is the *last* one. I'm almost sooner think she'd move into the DiMera mansion! Hello, Alice? Maggie? Jack & Jennifer's old place? Caroline? So out of character.
|Oct 22 2009, 03:32 PM Post #7
While I believe that Hope and Victor have reconciled since the 80s, I agree. Her moving into the mansion is totally random and out of left field. I understand it's bigger, but come on. Alice is living in that huge house all by herself. Hope should be living there. And if the show thinks it would be an issue of not being able to see Alice due to Frances Reid not being able to work, what about Mickey? They easily make excuses as to why he's not around. They can do the same for Alice. Have Hope living in the Horton house and say that Alice is upstairs resting. It's believable given her age. We never have to see Alice and I think fans would understand for sure.

Classic Soap Fan
I agree and it keeps that wonderful set active and in use. Did you know that the Horton front door is the original front door from 1965?
|Oct 22 2009, 03:42 PM Post #9
|Looking forward to Bo, Carly, Hope and Justin starting up. And I agree Hope should be staying with Alice or Caroline. But Days probably wants to use less sets.
|Oct 22 2009, 03:58 PM Post #10
Less sets for sure.
And the fact that if Hope is worried about Ciara's safety, Victor probably has more security at his house.
|Oct 22 2009, 03:58 PM Post #11
On the surface, I agree it's out of character. However, when thinking about the situation, I think it works.
First off, Hope wants her space. If she stays with Caroline, Alice, Maggie, etc...they will just pester her and bombard her with "you should talk to Bo" crap. She wants to keep her distance to contemplate things without actually leaving town and what better then the Kiriakis Mansion? Sure, Victor wants Bo and Hope together but Victor is not the type to push. The mansion is big and no one else there will get on her case. Justin is also there too. Plus, Hope knows Bo doesn't like spending much time around the Kiriakis branch of his family so she knows he won't be one to come around much. It makes perfect sense to me. Maggie probably has no space and, even if she did, do you want all those people around in a house of that size? The mansion wouldn't have that issue.
If Jennifer were in town, then that would be different because Jennifer was never one to push Hope. She would state her case and just be supportive. However, since she's not, then I can buy this.
The rest sounds good. Love the Carly/Bo stuff. It's so organic and I love the way they are approaching it.
|Oct 22 2009, 04:01 PM Post #12
That's another good point. Hope is all concerned about Ciara's safety so the mansion would provide that kind of luxury. I read about tomorrow's Hope and Victor scenes and they sound great. I can see why people think it's out of character but I think that circumstances make it work.
I don't think it has anything to do with sets though because they don't even have to show Hope at the place where she is staying. I think there is a purpose to having Hope there and I do think it makes sense for her to want to move in there.
|Oct 22 2009, 04:44 PM Post #13
I don't think its a coincidence that Hope and Justin are going to be living under the same roof.... :ermmmm:
|dc cubs
|Oct 22 2009, 09:00 PM Post #14
|I think one of the main reasons for Hope moving to the Kiriakis mansion is to put Hope near Justin. This puts them in close quarters with a lot more interaction.
|Oct 22 2009, 09:10 PM Post #15
|gald to see vivian coimg finally. I am sure Carly and Bo will end up sleeping togethr and Hope and Justin. I get the impression that Bo and Hope are growing apart and this could be the final end to them. so I am on board with Bo and Carly now that I have seen her in action. shes got alot of life in her and Hope has become kind of doldrum. the part about Hope moving into Victors is kind of interesting to me considering the relationship they have had in the past. this is definetly plot driven to get Hope under the same roof as Justin so I am looking forward to seeing the chemestry spark there. this could be the best thing ever happen to Bo and Hope. lots of couples grow apart after years together so this is realistic.
|Oct 22 2009, 09:29 PM Post #16
|I thought it was mentioned, at one point, that Justin was staying in the rooms above the pub that Caroline owns. Didn't Victor mention that to him when he was defending Daniel? He didn't understand why Justin wouldn't take an office in the Kiriakis building and he wasn't living in the mansion? When did he move back to the mansion?
|dc cubs
|Oct 22 2009, 09:34 PM Post #17
I vaguely remember something about that. However, even if Justin isn't living at the mansion once Hope moves in he will probably be stopping by quite a bit.
|Oct 22 2009, 09:52 PM Post #18
I'm pretty sure Justin lives there...he tells her in tomorrow's episode that he'll try to make her and Ciara feel as "at home" there as possible...
|Oct 22 2009, 10:01 PM Post #19
After all... tomorrow is another day!
Even though it's silly for Hope to be at the Kiriakis mansion rather than Alice's or Caroline's (Has Caroline even been on lately?), I am looking forward to watching this quad play out. The only thing that irks is busybody Maggie triggering Hope finding out about a woman at Bo's place.
Just for once can't somebody besides Maggie be the tattletale or blow somebody's cover! Geez.

Meet sweet, sweet Olivia Grace. Olivia decided to come into this world 4 weeks early and was 5lbs 10oz. She was so tiny when I picked her up. Oh she was just the sweetest babe! I just wanted to love on her. Her daddy was in the same Drill Instructor class that my husband was, so we all met when we came to Parris Island. I was so excited when I got word that Olivia was on her way! Olivia was such a good sleeper. She didn't like her feet messed with much though. She was just silly when it came to her cute little footsies. I can't wait to love on her again soon.

With a disclaimer that I've never made this recipe, looking at it, I'm thinking the coconut is for texture and stickiness (to help hold all those nuts together). With that in mind, I wouldn't worry about texture but would increase the dates by the 1/4 cup of coconut you won't be using to make sure the overall crust had adequate stickiness to hold together.
Thanks, SeaJambon. Do you have a recommendation for the crust to replace te coconut oil? Maybe vegetable oil?
I suspect that any just about any vegetable oil (safflower is always my favorite) would work, since the recipe is asking for "melted".
There is NO gluten in coconut... Gluten is associated with wheat flours... Google " gluten" and you will understand when you have to be concerned about whether there could possibly be an issue with ingredients

Air cleaners have been used for a long time in homes. The first system was built to clean the air as it rose through a heated coal oven. Coal dust was trapped within a filter that was attached to the air outlet. This reduced the buildup on the oven walls. Homeowners later realized that the…Read More

Periodical Cicadas
Life Cycles & Behavior
Note: clicking on an image will bring up a larger version of the image.
Periodical cicada nymphs crawl up tree trunks and other surfaces at night to find places to molt into adults.
If you go out at night when cicada nymphs are emerging, you should be able to find the teneral (newly molted) adults which first appear creamy-white before acquiring their final color.
Periodical cicada nymphs often construct openings and mud tubes in areas where they will eventually emerge. This is most commonly seen in wet conditions.
Hundreds of nymphal exoskeletons can be found on tree trunks, branches and leaves after periodical cicadas have emerged.
Female cicadas locate males through the male songs. Female cicadas do not produce a song.
Female cicadas use their needle-shaped ovipositor to cut slits into small branches. They insert their eggs into these slits.
A month or two after the cicada adults have laid their eggs, many of the tree branches in which the eggs were inserted die. This is called "flagging" and it can look like considerable damage has been done. Fortunately, this damage is only dangerous to small trees and shrubs. Mature trees rarely suffer long term damage.
Damage to branch from periodical cicada egg laying. If the bark continues to peel back, the branch will be girdled.

The cookies have a wonderfully nutty fragrance with a whole lot of hazenuts and almonds adding their characteristic richness. What I like best about these cookies is that they are simple, delicate and gorgeous to look at. I've never made these before and when I saw these cookies on Elise's blog I just had to make them, for I knew I couldn't go wrong with her absolutely foolproof recipe and method.
Valentine Linzer Cookies Recipe
Yield: 20-24 cookies
Adapted from: Simply Recipes
3/4 cups butter (1 1/2 sticks), room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup finely ground almonds
1/2 cup finely ground hazelnuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
6 ounces strawberry preserve
Powdered sugar for dusting
- Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and vanilla.
- Mix in the ground nuts.
- Stir together dry ingredients in a bowl and mix with the wet mixture to form the dough. Roll into disks, wrap and chill.
- Roll out dough and cut the cookies in desired shape. Make sure you freeze this for a few minutes before transferring, lest the cookie break apart.
- Cut out the base cookie shapes. Cut out the centers of half the disks with a smaller cookie cutter shape. Re-roll scraps and repeat.
- In a preheated oven at 350°F/175°C bake for 12 minutes or until edges turn golden. Cool on a wire rack.
- Heat the preserve and spread the solid disks with a layer of the hot preserves. Make sure to steer clear of the edges since we don't want the preserve oozing out. Place the top layer cookie over the bottom, pressing down lightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, then fill the holes with more preserves.
Serving suggestions:
Ice cream -always a fun option!
Else strawberries, like I did.
Now I'm thinking white chocolate mousse. Mmmm.
It's usually very hard to please my mum with my baked goodies because this is not the kind of food she has grown up with. Her's is a more Indian palate that craves spice and strong flavours. She gave the cookie two thumbs up – I've my bets on the nuts which add the richness. Just one change that I'm going to keep in mind – use hazenut. I absolutely *love* them!
Still craving for more Cookie Recipes?!

Bullies aren't limited to school, work
The Columbus Dispatch - November 25, 2013 11:52 AM
When we think of bullies, we usually think of school or even work.
But one of 10 Americans classify their spouse or live-in partner as a "financial bully" at home, according to a survey by personal finance website CreditKarma.com.
What do financial bullies do? According to the survey, 37 percent make their partner feel guilty about spending habits, 34 percent limit their partner's monthly budget, 20 percent make their partners show receipts for what they bought, 18 percent give their partner an allowance and 17 percent keep their partner from having credit cards.
Younger people are more likely to report that they are bullied at home than those 55 or older, and men in that group are far more likely to say they are bullied that women. More than a fifth of those between the ages of 18 and 34 and are married say they would get a divorce if money were no object.

Dream Stalkers by Tim Waggoner – Cover Reveal!Posted by: | Comments
Greetings loyal robotic readers!
It is a big day in the Angry Robot office today because we are bringing you a brand new cover! Dream Stalkers by Tim Waggoner is the second book in the Shadow Watch series and its predecessor, Night Terrors, has already claimed an army of fans.
If you loved Night Terrors check out the cover below and get commenting to let us know what you think!
Dream Stalkers by Tim Waggoner
A new drug – Shut-Eye – has been developed in the dreamland, and smuggled into our world. It's addictive, and dangerous, and Shadow Watch agents Audra and Mr Jinx are on the case, preparing new recruits to deal with the problem.
Meanwhile, a wave of ancient, bodiless Incubi are entering the dreams of humans in an attempt to possess them and live new lives. Only the criminally insane would ever risk a confrontation with them.
Thank goodness, then, for Mr Jinx: clown, Shadow Watch agent, psychopath.

Miriam Black, rendered in ink and fleshPosted by: | Comments
There are fans, and there are fans. We think that Cam Mezé from London (England) deserves the italics – perhaps with an "uber-" added to the front. Why? Because Cam is such a fan of Chuck Wendig's Miriam Black (from Blackbirds, Mockingbird and The Cormorant) that she commissioned this rather brilliant tattoo:
We asked her: why?
Cam: This tattoo was going to be my great dedication to my love of books, so it took a lot of research and a long time to plan. It was a toss up between something from American Gods by Neil Gaiman or something from the Miriam Black novels. In the end I decided that I wanted it to be a complex and strong female character, and Miriam Black is just that. Plus she's pretty kickass! She's not afraid to be dark or grim, she's funny, swears like a trooper, has parental issues and complicated relationships, and wants to defy fate and be better. These novels encompass many of the things that I enjoy reading about. When it came to deciding, Miriam Black was just a character I loved that stood out. I am in awe of all of Joey HiFi's covers, they're absolutely stunning, and it gave us (myself and Jordan Teear, the tattooist) a lot to work with.
Surprisingly, for the amount of detail, the tattoo took around 2 1/2 hours to complete. When I first discussed the design with Jordan he thought it was going to be a pretty awesome. He really loved the palm trees and how amazing her lips are, so he had real fun with it. There was also a lot we had to cut back on, because there's so much detail. I knew I wanted a large skull in there somewhere, so Jordan suggested blending and fading it in with the T-shirt. I enjoy the fact that it's on the back of her T-shirt because as much as her 'curse' has to do with her dealing with death and having that foresight (skulls are great on the sunglasses for that), it also follows her. But at the same time, she is slightly tilted around and is ready to face it and beat it. Of all the covers, this was the one that worked best and included the things I wanted to convey. Plus she has that devilish grin, which is perfect!
I love her flaws and the fact that she's not perfect. And so she would be my ode in ink form to my love of books. She was my cover lady!
I am so in awe of Jordan's talent and absolutely love the final piece. His work is amazing, so I knew he would do a fantastic job when I chose him; there was just something that clicked when I looked through his work. And I am stoked that both Chuck Wendig and Joey HiFi love it too, because we wanted to do their hard work justice.
Thanks, Cam!
The tattooist (as mentioned, above) is Jordan Teear at Frith Street Tattoo. You can find more of his work, here.
An Angry Robot box of goodies will wing its way to Cam after the Easter break – we think you'll agree she deserves it!
Cover Reveal: The Shadow MasterPosted by: | Comments
If you've seen our recent hints, you'll know we're pretty excited about this cover and revealing it to you. Craig had some fantastic promos created, and just to tease you before the big reveal, here's a quick peek at them again:
The Shadow Master
July 2014
In a land riven with plague, in the infamous Walled City, two families vie for control – the Medicis with their genius inventor Leonardo; the Lorraines with Galileo, the most brilliant alchemist of his generation.
And when two star-crossed lovers, one from either house, threaten the status quo, a third, shadowy power – one that forever seems a step ahead of all of the familial warring – plots and schemes, and bides its time, ready for the moment to attack…

You know that we love our books, and we know that you love our books (awwww, isn't this sweet!). It's also very gratifying when we're told that awards committees also love our books.

The Annual Awards Eligibility PostPosted by: | Comments
As has now become customary, we're listing below the books we published last year that are eligible for various awards. Being British, however, we're doing it furtively, and we're looking up every now and then to make sure no-one's watching us.
As ever, this list is provided purely as an aide-mémoire, not as a list of recommendations – if you've read the works below and consider them to be award-worthy, the authors would be thrilled if you would consider nominating/voting for them. If you haven't read them, they're all available from your favourite offline or online store.
Here are the books we published in 2013* (covers are gathered together by artist, not by publication date – see artist list at the end of this blog post):

Book Cover Fun – the winners!Posted by: | Comments
About 4 weeks ago we ran a competition to recreate one of our book covers using toys, people, posts of custard – whatever.
The reason we've waited until now to publish the winners is not because we forgot to check the email account that the entries were sent into, oh no! The reason is far more interesting than that, we're sure – and when we've worked out what the reason actually is, we might post it here. Read More→
Cover Reveal: Last God StandingPosted by: | Comments
Creator. Ruler. Stand-up Comic…
We've been super excited about Michael Boatman's Last God Standing since we first read it in acquisitions, and even more so after we were able to shout loud and proud about our latest author, but the excitement levels are pretty high now with this cover. Last God Standing is the "ultimate in divine comedy" and we're eagerly awaiting its release next year! But less of me, and more of the cover:
Last God Standing
When God decides to quit and join the human race to see what all the fuss is about, all Hell breaks loose.
Sensing his abdication, the other defunct gods of Earth's vanquished pantheons want a piece of the action He abandoned.
Meanwhile, the newly-humanised deity must discover the whereabouts and intentions of the similarly reincarnated Lucifer, and block the ascension of a murderous new God.
How is he ever going to make it as a stand-up comedian with all of this going on…?

Book Cover Fun – A CompetitionPosted by: | Comments
We love our authors, dearly. Especially when they do weird and wonderful things like this:
(And no, we're not sure why the covers are staggered like that – let's just pretend it's a deliberate design choice, and forget all about it).
Anne has recreated all three of her Night's Masque books using Playmobil toys. See the full set here.
So we've decided to steal the idea honour her genius and run a competition.
What we'd like you to do:
Choose any Angry Robot book cover (they're all there – over to the right and down a bit) and make your own version of it in the same way as Anne. You can use toys, people, masks, animals, trees, fish fingers – whatever you like. We'll feature the winners on this page.
Stuff you need to know:
1) The cover should be a recognisable recreation of one of our covers.
2) Send your cover to us on a CD at the following address: Yeah, right! Email your image as a .jpg or .gif (RGB, not CMYK, please. If you don't know what that means, just send it – it'll be fine) to: INCOMING @ ANGRYROBOTBOOKS.COM
3) Closing date for entries: Midnight (wherever you are) on Wednesday, 30th October.
4) Q: "Do you mean midnight going into Wednesday, or midnight at the other end?"
A: Ah, you, know – whatevs.
5) Q: "No, I really need to know…"
A: {insert big, dramatic sigh} "OK, then – you can have until midnight coming out of Wednesday, and into Thursday."
6) Anyone can enter, from anywhere in the world. Even if you're a member of the Angry Robot team, or if you're an Angry Robot author (though you probably won't win), or if you're a badger.
The Prizes.
Dunno, yet – we only just thought of the competition. Stuff from around the office, probably (books, audiobooks, stuff like that). The prize is hardly the point, is it? I mean, come on! Some people – sheesh!

I am going to tell you about platypuses' habitat, appearance, behavior, and eggs. Platypuses are very small animals, they live in the Southeast of Australia, and they are extremely shy. They also lay eggs.
The platypus has a very strange appearance. It is about the size of a household cat. The average size of a male platypus is fifty to sixty centimeters. The average size of a female platypus is forty to fifty centimeters. This mammal's tail is flat and broad like a beaver's tail. A plump tail is a sign of good health. The platypus's fur is a dark brown on the back and yellowish on its belly. My animal has a bill that is very sensitive and it uses the bill to find food underwater.
The platypus's habitat is always near water. This duck billed creature is more common in the Southeast than the Northern parts of Australia because there is a less chance of flooding. There are also fewer predators like the water rat, eels, crocodiles, and other large fish. Sometimes they are taken by worm bait. Some places they would be found are in streams, rivers, and tropical swamps. Some people say that platypuses do not always live in freshwater. They are sometimes found in brackish and salt water. They also have burrows underground near the water.
The platypus's behavior is unique. This animal is extremely shy. It only lives with one or two other platypuses. It is also nocturnal. It avoids fights by swimming away. My animal eats bug larva, fresh water shrimp, frogs and more. Males and females usually stay away from each other except during mating season.
Instead of giving live birth the platypus lays eggs. This animal is the only mammal that lays eggs except its relative the echidna. In a way, the platypus is like a reptile because they both lay leathery eggs. The female lays one to three eggs at a time and two eggs is the average amount.
As you can see the platypus is an extremely unique animal. So I just told you about platypuses' strange appearance, its unique behavior, its habitat, and its eggs.
