People have known or heard about Rod Odom for a while now. However, until last weekend at the NBPA Top 100 Camp, Odom hadn't exactly played much on the grassroots basketball circuit and the 6-foot-8 forward was pretty much a mystery to most national analysts.
The product of Concord (Mass.) Middlesex School was glad to get a chance to show what he can do.
"I think it's a great opportunity because there was a lot of great tlaent there," said Odom. "It's good to play against guys who are all at a really high level. I think I got better and more used to the level of play. You always think you can do better and there's always room for improvement."
While he was excited to play in front of scouts, Odom really looked at it as more of an opportunity to test himself. Since he hasn't done much grassroots stuff, he wanted to see where he stacks up against the nation's top players
"I think it's more about just seeing where you are at," said Odom. "Everything will take care of itself. At the end of the day I'll go home and it will all work itself out. It's just about seeing what's out there and how I stack up."
Long limbed with a good skill level, some see Odom as a three while others see him as a face-up four man or combo forward on the next level. Odom himself thinks his versatility is attractive.
"I feel like I'm very versatile," Odom said of his game. "I can do a lot of different things and play, definitely guard, different positions. I definitely need to get stronger. I see myself as more of a three."
On the recruiting front, Odom is hearing from schools all over the country, including Oklahoma State.
"It's going real well," Odom told Go Pokes of his recruitment. "Boston College, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Arizona, North Carolina, Louisville, those are just some of the schools I'm hearing from."
Looking for an even blend of academics and hoops, Odom would prefer to stay away from discussing specific programs at this point. For now, he just wants to play out the summer and see what happens. Then, he'll be looking to get more specific.
"It will probably be more towards the end of the summer," said Odom of when he'll narrow things down. "I'm going to say it's just about finding the best situation that my family and I feel most comfortable with."

Note to myself: No, I am not going to write in two languages. I will write only in English as of now. I have noticed that my blog is not read in Brazil but rather appreciated by the blogosphere from overseas. It's a shame. I like the sound of my native tongue: its cadences, rhythm and pitch. A delight to the ears.ReplyDelete

Winemaker Notes
Tropical flavors such as mango and pineapple dance with aromas of peach, apple and pear." Richly layered and balanced throughout." Lightly butter toast headlines the indulgent, lingering finish.
Kendall-JacksonView all wine
Back in 1974, Jess Jackson saw in the fine vineyards of California's cool coastal regions fruit with a variety of outstanding flavors. What if there was a way to produce from this abundance, a single outstanding "cuvée" that offered both quality and value? The result, first released in 1983, was Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, a rich, round and flavorful wine, made with hand-crafted methods. That same year, Grand Reserve was introduced, a line of ultra-premium wines... View More

Twitter might seem like a waste of time and only a tool for friends to keep in touch. But Twitter is invaluable for business because the 140-character messages can include a website link shortened using websites like bit.ly and tinyurl.
Businesses can use these tools in a variety of ways:
- Driving Website Traffic. Tweets can be written to get readers to click on a listed Web address. Now, the exposure is doubled because tweets now appear regularly in search engines results from Google.
- It is Free. Creating an account does not cost a cent; the only expense is time.
- Staying Up-to-Date. Breaking-news events can spread throughout the world in a matter of seconds, so following Twitter users in your industry is a good way to keep abreast of the news while you are doing social-media marketing.
- Staying Informed. Following thought-leaders in your sector — and even your competitors, clients, and partners — is a good way to learn valuable information and the latest trends.
- Reinforcing a Brand. Highlight tweets with your ideas, opinions, and expertise will promote your brand among your followers. By making a great first impression, loyal followers will be gained.
- Staying in Touch. Twitter is a fast way to keep in touch with current and prospective clients. Since others can retweet (forward) your posts on Twitter, it helps with viral marketing.
- Sharing Information. Retweeting a message about something your followers would like is a way to build your reputation — it shows that you are on Twitter not only to benefit yourself.
These are just some of the ways that Twitter can benefit a company, and the same principles hold true for other sites like Facebook and LinkedIn.

Posted by Jeremy @ Arbor Teas on October 14, 2015
Tired of pumpkin spice? Expand your horizons with these five
spicy teas.
Masala Chai Black Tea
Crisp fall days really do call for a spicy chai. Whether you're
taking the kids to the pumpkin patch, or simply raking the leaves, our
Masala Chai Black Tea
will be a welcome companion. Our blend makes use of traditional
blending methods used by South Indian
chaiwallahs. As such, we blend small
leaf black tea with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and black pepper. For a real treat, sweeten this tea with honey
or make it a
Decaf Masala Black Tea
Does caffeine give you the jitters? Chill out with this
Organic Decaf
Masala Black Tea blend
that's low on caffeine and big on spice. (Curious
about our decaffeination method? Read more about it
Masala Chai Rooibos
There's something about rooibos that practically demands
chai spice, and there's no better time for it than fall. Our mellow and
Organic Masala Chai Rooibos combines red rooibos with ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla.
It's an excellent tea for winding down in the evening, serving to kids or
making lattes – and maybe all three at once!
Orange Spice Lemongrass Tisane
What? You're tired of chai? Here's another spicy herbal
blend for you. Our
Organic Orange Spice Lemongrass Tisane makes use of lemongrass, which has a mellow sweetness
and spice all its own. Because lemongrass tends to be a digestive aid, it's
another great tea to relax with in the evening after dinner, or when you're not
feeling so hot.
Ginger Chili Tisane
Last, but certainly not least, comes the spiciest of the pack - our Organic Ginger Chili Tisane! With an herbaceous nose of rosemary, citrus, and ginger, its aroma reminds of a fragrant cocktail. But when you give it a sip, you'll be surprised by the warm, lingering heat! The liquor starts off mellow and sweet, and then WHAM - the chili sets in and takes you on a spicy thrill-ride!

The lack of internet in the boatyard makes ordering parts particularly difficult.

Here's a link to photos of the launch of catamaran "Sophie" at St Marys Boat Services:
With the topsides painting completed work could commence on the rig. The chainplates were reattached to the hulls and now fittings for the stays had to be sussed out. The lashings of the past will be no more, I will be going back to turnbuckles with only lashings on one upper shroud to isolate it from [...]
The punch list for getting the rig ready to restep the mast included torquing down the beam mounting bolts and installing the chainplates. It was important to check the beam mounting bolts because the rig pulls on the hulls and if the bolts are loose the hulls can become canted. Some of the rigging [...]

Getting you more information on this room
The hotel is located close to the Sultanahmet square. I stayed for just one night and it was a comfortable stay. The staff were also very helpful. I did not like the breakfast as there was very limited options.
I spent three night in the Cem Sultan Hotel. I turned a 5 hour stop over in Istanbul into a quick tourist stop during a business trip in March 2016.
I booked through hotels.com and had no problems booking in when I arrived at the hotel at 1:00 in the morning. I got exactly what I booked for ant at...
We loved our stay here. On the day of our arrival we reached at 9am and even though our check-in was at 2pm, we could store our luggage and we were invited to have breakfast. after that warm welcome we went for sightseeing and when we came back to get our room, we entered a cosy room, that wasn't the...
1. This place is really a stone's throw away from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofaya.
2. The view from the top floor (where the breakfast is served) is also very good. You see the Sea of Marmara and the ships moving around. The seagulls sitting near the window and demanding food is an added attraction.
3. Friendly staff....
Staff were friendly and curteous. Night staff had better English skills that day staff. Breakfast was simple but adequate to set you up for the day. Lots of stairs and no lift but the view from the breakfast room was beautiful. It was originally the roof terrace I guess but is now an airy room with a fabulous view over...
My best hotel in Turkey.....
1. 2 mins walk from Aya Sofaya and Blue mosque and 1 minute from Mesala cafe
2. 4 minutes walk from Basilica Cistern
3. 6 minutes walk from Topkapi palace
4. 3-3.5 minutes from Tram and bus Stop
5. Yet secluded
6. wonderful view from the terraced restaurant and a very very nice place...
I highly recommend Cem Sultan. We stayed there for 10 days and loved it. The central, safe location and price are the bonus of this hotel. It is a short walk to many tourist sites, restaurants, and the very convenient tram. Rooms and linens were clean and provided daily. Bed and pillows were new and comfortable. Room is small, newly...
Great place to be, everything in Sultan Ahmet Area is close and walkable. Room is small but clean and staff is friendly. I booked for two days via expedia and rates are also very good. Breakfast menu is simple @ rooftop overlooking sea with beautiful scenery
Overall great, worth it
"Rooms facing South East will be quieter and have views of the Bosporus."
"Rooms in front have view of Bosphorus, but are noisier. Family rooms and hostel-like rooms are available."
"Need to create more sound barriers... heard conversation that was held in a room nearby. I can just imagine if i were a couple in heat. :-)
"not face street and high floor"
"If there are 2 of you travelling not as a couple and you are sharing a room then ask for a twin as you will get more room."

Color: Only Seperated In Laundry
A white girl falls in love with a black boy when she moves to Benton, La when she's 16. It's against her mother's morals but can't stop loving the boy. Is there any hope for this young couple?
Lauren's POV:
"Mommy!? Mommy!?" I cried, I wondered around, looking for her. Where did she go? I only looked away for a second, and she was lost in the mall with my baby sister. "Mommy!?" Tears were dripping down my face.
"Hey Lil' Mama, you lost?" I turned around and saw a dark man kneel to my height and grab me by the waist. "You okay?" He rubbed the dripping tears off my face with his soft hands.
"I can't find my mommy, she ran away when I was looking in the window!" A whole new set of tears formed and I they drained from my eyes.
"Hey, don't cry, we'll find your mommy okay? Aww," he quieted me down and picked me up. I put my arms around his neck and felt the velvety skin he had. I drew circles on it. "How old are you?"
"This many!" I held up three fingers. "Mister, what's your name?" I asked, fixated by the feel of his skin.
"Jicobi Lakell. That's Mr. Lakell to you, okay babygirl?" His deep voice injected into my brain.
"Okay." I agreed.
"What's yours?" He asked me.
"Lauren." I answered.
"You have a very pretty name, Lauren." He complimented.
"Thank you!"
"Now, where was the last place you saw your mommy?" He questioned.
"Over there!" I pointed to a window where there were puppies inside.
"What do your mommy look like?" I looked at him, he was focusing very intently on the whole adventure, scoping out every woman.
"She has blonde hair...and green eyes, and she has my baby sister too!" I exclaimed.
"Lauren!? Lauren!" I heard my mommy's voice. I looked in the other direction.
I gasped excitedly. "Mommy!" My mommy ran to the man with the stroller and took me from his arms.
"Lauren, don't ever do that again! Honey, I didn't know where you were, you scared me!" She pulled me to her face and kissed my forehead. She grabbed the stroller and she was on her way after she put me down.
I looked at Mr. Lakell and went over to try to give him a hug goodbye, but Mommy grabbed my arm, twisting it, which made me shriek in pain, and pulled me away from him.
"Ma'am!" Mr. Lakell yelled softly yet demanding. "Let her arm go. You're hurting her, can't you see that she's crying?"
"Don't tell me what to do with my daughter, you were probably trying to kidnap her!" She twirled around, me crying and being dragged after her on my toes.
"Mr. Wakull!" I screamed. I reached my hand for him and looked at him one last time before crying and watching floor tiles fly by as I stared at the ground dejectedly.
I had just wanted to touch him one last time.

Synchronized Swimming guide—London 2012 Olympics
Your complete guide to synchronized swimming ahead of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Photograph: Synchronized Swimming via Shutterstock
Converted: Athletes combine grace, artistry and an ability to stay underwater for ages to create London 2012's literally most breathtaking spectacle.
Confused: Bizarre aquatic clown show with grins so forced they'd make even Ryan Seacrest cringe.
RECOMMENDED: See our full list of London 2012 Olympic sport guides
Synchronised Swimming - The essential guide
Street cred: A girl-only, somewhat niche event with unmistakably balletic roots. It's not trendy yet but it could capture the public's imagination if glamorous entrants do well.
Who's good? Russia has won every Olympic gold medal since 2000.
The basics: Teams consist of two or eight swimmers. They perform a timed routine to music with their performances marked by a panel of 10 judges.
Athlete to watch: Anyone Russian, particularly the team's 21-year-old rising star Svetlana Romashina.
Not to be confused with: Drowning.
Almost useless fact: In February 2011 a Chinese magician stunned a TV audience of millions, and upset animal rights groups, when he apparently taught six goldfish to do synchronised swimming as part of his act.
As seen in: The work of Esther Williams, the swimming sensation turned MGM movie star whose films often included elaborate synchro routines – most famously in 'Million Dollar Mermaid' (1952) and 'Jupiter's Darling' (1955). John Travolta later employed a similar strategy with disco dancing.
Do say: 'This is where sports meets art.'
Don't say: 'I've been to bars in New Jersey where the girls wear less makeup than that.'

TF4047B/80153B Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of TF4047Bin our 2015, and 2016 Tiffany range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The rectangular shape of the frame exudes self-confidence and power. Especially for round shaped faces, the rectangle is a perfect counterpoint. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive. Brown is the dominant colour for sunglass lenses. They radiate warmth and look very soft. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Tiffany back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get TF4047B at such a low price, not even in the sale.

In 2010, the world was captivated by the real life drama of thirty-three Chilean miners trapped underground in a collapsed gold and copper mine. Sixty-nine days later a miracle was achieved when all thirty-three men were rescued, starved but alive. Interviews, television appearances, and books followed, and a film adaptation was inevitable.

Will Smith for President?
Will Smith is promoting Concussion. He's been featured in multiple interviews this week and, unfortunately, most of them don't feature Samuel L Jackson. Concussion is the true story of neuropathologist Dr Bennet Omalu's work exposing what playing American style football can do a player's brain based on a 2009 investigate report in GQ Magazine written by Jeanne Marie Laskas.

Why not Olivia Wilde?
AKM-GSI/ Splash News
Olivia Wilde is not just underrated, her talents are undervalued. That's my takeaway from watching her latest indie, Meadowland, about a mother struggling with a cloud of grief and guilt one year after her son's abduction. Think Rabbit Hole, but less bougie and with a smaller focus on marital strife. Full Story
Julia Roberts in Secret in Their Eyes
Reimschuessel/ Splash News
In 2010 Argentinian thriller El Secreto de Sus Ojos won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, beating out A Prophet and The White Ribbon. It also did very good business for a subtitled import, topping $6 million at the box office, which means it found a considerable audience in the US. It did not need to be remade at all, so, naturally, it got an English-language remake just a few years later. Full Story

In a surprise move, Marvel dropped the first trailer for Captain America: Civil War last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live (thanks to some Grade-A studio f*ckery, expect to see a new trailer from DC soon, too). Trying to keep up with their bosses' brinksmanship may drive everyone at Marvel Studios and Warner Brothers/DC completely insane, but so long as we get to break down Civil War, I'm fine with that.

The Revenant has been screening in LA for Academy members the last few days and the response has been very, very positive. As you know, The Revenant is Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's follow-up to Birdman, the reigning Best Picture. As you know, the shoot was difficult, it was delayed, it was expensive, and he was reportedly a dick to the crew. Full Story

Tom Hardy is BANANAS in Legend
Unfortunately, the movie does not live up to the totally insane bar that Tom Hardy is setting. In Legend Hardy stars as Ronnie and Reggie Kray, a pair of Cockney gangster twins in the London of the swinging 1960s. Reggie Kray is relatively straight-laced, the twin with the business sense who runs their would-be criminal empire. Full Story

Parents telling their kids to play video games? That's right. The boys are among the estimated 5% to 7% of children who have attention deficit disorder, and video games, as prescribed by their psychologist, have helped them learn to focus, their mother says.
In addition to a Sony PlayStation 2, the family has some special equipment: a S.M.A.R.T. BrainGames system that consists of a special controller, a helmet with built-in sensors for monitoring brain activity and a Smartbox that receives the brain signals.
As long as the boys remain calmly focused on the game, it plays normally, says their Philadelphia psychologist Domenic Greco. But if a player's mind wanders, the Smartbox sends a signal to the controller hindering acceleration or character movement in the game.
The Herliheys connected online with Greco, who designed the system by adapting a similar one that NASA used for pilot training. After treating the boys last year at his office in Philadelphia, he recommended the at-home video game therapy.
Neurofeedback via joystick?
Currently, Greco says that more than 50 clinics are using S.M.A.R.T. BrainGames systems to help children and adults with ADD. On Tuesday, the company begins a full-scale home marketing push; the systems, which cost $548 (PS2 not included), are now available online at www.smartbraingames.com.
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 (Konami, out Tuesday, $39.99, for Sony PlayStation 2)
Dance fanatics have bought more than 2.5 million DDR games since 2001. This and another new edition, Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix (Nintendo, for GameCube, Oct. 24, $50) have "workout" modes that measure the amount of calories you burn while dancing to the music.
YourselfFitness (www.getmaya.com, out now, $34.99, for Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox, Windows PCs)
This personal fitness trainer guides you through a personalized program to help you meet goals; even plans meals for you.
EyeToy: Kinetic (Sony, Nov. 8, $49.99, for PlayStation 2; EyeToy camera included)
Designed with Nike's Motion Works research lab, this program will design a 12-week fitness program for you it has a virtual trainer who tutors or you can customize aerobic workouts, yoga sessions and meditation.
Trauma Center: Under the Knife (Atlus, Oct. 4, $29.99, for Nintendo DS handheld system)
You are the doctor in this ER-styled game. Use the handheld system's stylus like a scalpel to perform increasingly difficult operations.
Video-game-based neurofeedback may be "an interesting and possibly promising treatment, but there's still not enough research to recommend it as a first-line treatment" for children with ADD, says Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Schneider Children's Hospital in New Hyde Park, N.Y. "Families are often loath to consider medication but ... it's the single most proven treatment." (Related item: Can kids' brains be trained to pay attention?)
Janet Herlihey admits she was skeptical at first. She had not allowed video games in the home because "they didn't seem like a good match for my family," which also includes Peter, 8, and Beth, 6. "When they first sat down to play, they were physically rocking the entire chair," she says. "Now, they sit calmly and their eyes are doing all the tracking."
Despite receiving standard neurofeedback treatment for ADD in the past, Michael still had memory problems that affected his schoolwork and left him frustrated. In successfully playing video games, Michael has to calmly focus on the task at hand, says his mother. After nearly a year of game-based therapy, he has learned to transfer the game-playing focus skills to school and even soccer, where he's become a prolific scorer, she says.
In Paul's case, he has regained his love of reading, something that had become an activity that he could not sit still and focus on, says Janet Herlihey.
Video games as therapy — just one example of the changing attitude that some in the health care and medical industries have toward video games, an often-criticized pastime.
Training and treatment, too
Looking past the violence and adult content in games such as Grand Theft Auto, a growing number of researchers have begun to embrace the medium's high-quality 3-D environments and simulation programs.
There were nearly 40 projects in various stages of development on display at last week's Games for Health Conference in Baltimore, says the group's co-director Ben Sawyer. Games for Health is an offshoot of The Serious Games Initiative (www.seriousgames.org), which seeks to push the evolution of games technology to aid in problem solving, public policy and social issues.
Some of the highlighted projects and potential benefits:
•Patient treatment. The U.S. Navy is testing Sony's Eye Toy, a camera that connects to the PS2 and transfers the person's image onto a TV screen, along with the interactive dance mats used for the game Dance Dance Revolution, says the project's principal investigator, Mark Wiederhold of the Virtual Reality Medical Center in San Diego. The idea is to create special programs to help rehabilitate soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.
•Training. U.K.-based Blitz Games is developing Interactive Trauma Trainer, a PC game-style simulation program to help prepare battlefield surgeons for decision-making and treatment in combat.
Another program being tested, New Dawn Estates, a role-playing simulation developed by pullUin Software of Vermillion, S.D., helps certified nursing assistants learn nursing-home treatment protocols.
•Prevention and education. The Federation of American Scientists and Brown University have created Immune Attack, a 3-D game about the immune system to help high school and college students better understand the complex subject.
"All of these things require more research and they are going to lead us in a lot of different ways. In three years, we'll know more," Sawyer says.
Says Greco: "The next thrust is creating attention in the gaming world to recognize that people are looking for something more in video games."

Learning the Secrets
Elsa rested her head on her chin as she stared out the window. She watched the merchants begin to set up their mobile shops for the Juniper Festival. She imagined herself as one of the young peasant girls skipping up the street to the music. She sighed as she sat on her mattress and smoothed out her blue velvet dress. Small beads of sweat were beginning to form along her forehead, right under her blonde, silky hair. Elsa thought that June was too hot to be wearing velvet, but her mother insisted she look nice. While she fanned herself with her hand, she walked out of her room and into the dark, damp hallway.
She made her way down the long hallway towards the main staircase. Elsa had always thought there was something eerie about the way the candles never burnt out or melted down. She always managed to convince herself that the servants were very good- they replace them when no one is looking. But today, she noticed a strange smell that seem to be originating from the burning wick. Thinking she must be going crazy, she just ignored any qualms she had about the candles.
She lightly stepped down the stairs, and then she walked towards the dining hall. She watched as her father directed the cooks on which foods to make for the feast. Tonight, he would invite all of the merchants in for a six-course meal. Normally her father doesn't let anyone foreign into the castle, but it has been customary for the king to invite the merchants in ever since the kingdom was founded.
Elsa knew that he would be very grumpy today because of the company soon to arrive, but she so desperately wanted to enjoy the festival from the street level. She didn't want to stare at the booths from her window. So, she took a deep breath and spoke once her father was finished yelling at the servants.
"No!" his deep voice boomed. "I told you we do not use the best dishes for tonight's feast! I do not care what my father used to do, I just know that I don't like tonight's dinner. So, use the best of the worst dishes. And do not use up all of the spices in the soup! Those are expensive!"
"Yes, your majesty," a servant said in a squeaky voice.
King Tynan wiped away the spittle that had collected in the corners of his mouth and his beard during his rant. He ran his fingers through his short brown hair as he tried to collect himself.
"Hi, father," Elsa finally said.
"Oh, hello Elsa. Do you need something?"
His voice was filled disinterest as he spoke to his daughter. It was a stark contrast to the fury the just recently filled his words.
"I was just wondering if you might let me go out to enjoy the music of the festival. I will be eighteen soon, and I was hoping that I might finally be old enough to go out. I get so tired of staring at the fun from my window. This festival only comes every four years, and I desperately wish to enjoy this one before you marry me off to some dunce."
The king stared at his daughter with his beady black eyes.
"How about the answer, no."
Elsa's face fell and she turned to walk away before her father yelled, but it was too late.
"I give you a home and nice clothes and riches, but you wish to associate yourself with the poor people? What an ungrateful child. And all of your marriage prospects are none but the richest men of the lands. I don't wish to hear you call any of them 'dunces'."
He made air quotes with his fingers as he said that last word. Elsa's eyes filled with tears, but she visibly cringed with what her father said next.
"So, Elsa," he began with a sickly sweet voice. Then he started to yell again."You will never be allowed out of this house until you marry!"
It took every bit of willpower that Elsa had to not cry or run away. She learned that her fear only earned her a week locked in her room. So, she stared into her father's eyes until he smirked with satisfaction and returned to yelling at the cooks. She took a deep breath as her bottom lip quivered. She would very much rather be poor and have freedom than have the entire kingdom's wealth at her fingertips but never allowed out of the house. She walked out of the dining hall and towards the stairs.
Inside the wall under the stairs was a small closet. Ever since Elsa was a child, she had used the small closet to hide from her father. She often wondered why she ever asked her father for anything if she knew he didn't care for her. She assumed it was because she always hoped he would change- he never did.
Elsa picked up a lantern from the base of the stairs and tucked herself in the small closet. She set the lantern on a small shelf and curled up in the corner. She picked up a book and read through the descriptive fantasy stories. She imagined herself in the world filled with fairies and magical beings. She wished she could have the amount of courage that all the heroes have; she wished she could just take a sword to her father and show him who the real boss is. The truth was that she was just a small fragile girl who could hardly hold back tears whenever her father spoke to her.
Suddenly, Elsa heard a loud commotion as the merchants made their way into the dining hall. She slowly opened the small door. She kept her head turned so that she could watch to see if either of her parents was coming near. She was so preoccupied with making sure her parents didn't see her that she ran smack into someone.
"Oh my lords, I am so sorry," Elsa said.
She looked down and saw she had knocked over one of the young soldier boys.
"You should watch where you are going miss-"
His voice cut off. He was brushing off his uniform when he spoke, but when he stopped he was staring into Elsa's green eyes.
"Y-your majesty," he stammered as he bowed his head.
He jumped to his feet and bowed again.
"I-I'm so sorry, I should have watched where I was going. I didn't mean to say this was your fault. Just please don't tell your father I was so rude."
Elsa just looked at him and smiled.
"Don't worry about it. Oh, and please don't call me 'majesty'. I don't like to think that I actually am related to that dunce."
She jammed her thumb over her shoulder in the direction of the booming voice. She listened to her father as he yelled at the merchants to form a single line coming into the castle. The boy laughed and his black eyes sparkled. They were dark like her father's, but they had happiness inside, not evil.
"Okay, well then what should I call you?" he asked her.
"What do you mean," Elsa inquired.
"Well, I am moving in the castle to learn the trade of swordsmanship from the head guard. He told me I showed promise." He beamed with pride, then continued talking. "Anyway, I'd like to think we might see each other more, so I would like to know what I should call you."
A smile played on her lips.
"You can just call me Elsa. But if my father is nearby, act like you don't know me at all."
The two laughed until King Tynan noticed them talking. He started to make his way toward them. Panic filled the young soldier's eyes, but Elsa was used to the fear of her father coming towards her.
"Just kiss my hand and tell me your name," she muttered.
"What?" the boy responded.
"Just do it!" she said, her heart pounded as her father neared them.
She didn't know what he would do to her if he caught her having a casual conversation with the common folk. She widened her eyes in fear at the soldier, silently continuing her order for him to act as if they had never talked.
"Very pleased to make your acquaintance, Princess," the boy said as he gingerly took her hand and pressed his lips against her fingers. "I am Broden. I will be training with your head guard. I plan to become a swordsman to fight for the kingdom."
Elsa tilted her head up to put her nose in the air and act as if she was better than Broden.
"That is very noble of you, young sir. Good luck with your studies."
She gave a small curtsy and turned to find her father immediately behind her.
"Elsa? What were you doing talking to that boy?" he asked sternly.
"He was introducing himself, father. He told me he would be living in the castle to train from the guards. He planes to fight as a swordsman, you know," she replied with the utmost respect. She didn't want to set her father off again.
"If that's all it was, then fine. I don't like you mixing with the commoners."
Elsa noticed a touch of fear in his voice. Her father isn't afraid of anything. If he is, he just kills it. What about Broden could make her father so worried?
"No, sir," she said with her head down.
"Run along then. I have a dinner to attend!"
She turned towards the library and Broden continued to walk in the direction of the king. His eyes screamed fear as Tynan stopped him by grabbing his shoulder. For once, Elsa could not understand what her father was saying. He was whispering so softly that she doubted if Broden could hear him. Instead of hanging around to discover what would happen if she were caught eavesdropping, she continued to walk down the hall towards the library. Her heart nearly stopped when she felt someone touch her arm. She knew better than to scream, so she turned to see who it was. Broden was standing next to her with a grin on his face.
"Okay, you can't do that," she told him. "I thought you were my father!"
"Oh, and you think he could sneak up on you like that?" he asked her.
They both laughed quietly, afraid the king might hear them talking. Elsa glanced down the hallway at her father walking away, and she motioned for Broden to follow her to the library. The two ducked into the musty room with many books and closed the doors. They smiled at each other, happy they didn't have to worry about the king getting mad at them for talking.
"What was my father saying to you?" Elsa asked him.
Broden froze. The smile on his face melted into anxiety and fear.
"You can tell me. I hate him just as much as you do. I'm not going to tell on you or anything."
He remained quiet and still. Elsa could only hear the sound of his heavy breathing.
"What's wrong, Broden?" she asked him, feeling worried again. Something strange was certainly going on.
After a moment, he finally spoke.
"Don't worry about it. Please don't ever ask about it again."
Elsa knit her thin eyebrows together in confusion, but shrugged when he didn't say anything else.
"Okay, I won't," she replied.
She wrapped her four fingers around her thumb in a fist and touched it to her mouth. It was the kingdom's universal sign for a promise. Elsa had no clue where it originated. Maybe it was because if you told a secret the king might pummel you. She laughed to herself at how true that thought was.
"What's so funny?" Broden asked.
"Nothing," she said, waving her hand for him to forget. "Are you hungry?"
He thought for a moment and then sheepishly nodded. Elsa smiled at him.
"Go hide behind one of the book stacks. I'll be right back."
She slipped into the hallway leaving Broden alone in the library. He followed her instructions and crouched behind one of the many shelves adorned with books. After a few minutes, he started wiping dust off the spines of the books to amuse himself. He stopped suddenly when he read the title of one of the volumes.
"Poison Sword Diary," he said out loud.
He craned his neck to see if Elsa was coming back yet, and when he didn't see her, he carefully pulled the book off the shelf. He coughed and sneezed a few times from the displacement of dust. When it settled, he cracked open the pages to the middle. The words were written in a messy script, not like any of a scribes' writing. It was also written in purple ink. The only time Broden had ever seen purple ink was on the illustrations of important manuscripts. It was never used for writing. He was so mesmerized by the strange book that he didn't hear Elsa return. He clapped the book together and shoved it back on the shelf before she saw him. She didn't like the king either, but she may not appreciate a stranger looking through the books of the kingdom. He started to sneeze some more from all the dust.
"I do wish the servants would clean these shelves," Elsa said as she handed him a linen cloth. "Of course, I'm the only one who reads in the castle, and my father wouldn't busy his servants with pointless dusting. He would much rather have them out cultivating the poison garden."
Fear crept onto Broden's face as he thought of the book he had found.
"I'm just kidding, Broden. We don't have any gardens."
She smiled and he managed a nervous laugh. He had heard the other young soldier's talk. The garden is in the middle of the woods about a day's walk from the castle. So, Elsa was either lying to him, or she really was never let out of the building. He wouldn't have even known she was the princess if it wasn't for the silver necklace she wore. A clover surrounded by flames was strung on a chain. Each member of the royal family wore one. Something told him that Elsa was just that naïve to not be aware of what her father did. She probably didn't even know what that necklace meant.
A sharp knock came from the door of the library. Elsa motioned for Broden to hide again as she took a tray from a small girl.
"You must be hungry, miss," the girl said while staring at her shoes. "That is enough food for three, if I may be so bold to say so."
"I am hungry Vivienne," Elsa replied sweetly.
Then she took two rolls off the platter and stuffed them in the servant's pockets. She put her fist to her mouth as she had done earlier, and sent Vivienne on her way. Elsa carried the tray of food over to Broden and sat down on the floor next to him. Out of habit, she smoothed the skirt of her dress down and folded he legs to the side like a lady.
Broden arched an eyebrow at her princess behavior. She hit him lightly on the arm.
"It's out of habit. If I didn't do that with real people around my mother would punish me!" she explained to him.
"Oh, and I'm not 'real people'?" he asked playfully.
"You know what I mean," she said as she rolled her eyes.
She tore a roll in half and stuffed the large piece in her mouth, mocking him with her bad manners. He did the same, and they both laughed. When they managed to swallow the doughy bread, they stared at the platter of food, suddenly not hungry anymore. In synchronization, they both clutched their stomachs in pain. Broden and Elsa looked at each other with confusion and fear.
Quickly, they ran towards the window and vomited onto the back lawn. Elsa slid down to the floor, covering her mouth. Broden continued to be sick out the window. After a few minutes, he took a seat next to her. His eyes silently questioned her, and she noticed his eyes were bloodshot. A rhyme she learned when she was young immediately popped into her eyes.
"Bloodshot eyes means it's time to die," she whispered.
She could almost hear Broden's heart speed up in panic and fear. She reached under the folds of her dress and unbuttoned a hidden pocket. She pulled out a small bottle of green liquid. She put three drops on her tongue and motioned for Broden to do the same. Fear was written all over his face, but he instinctively knew it would help him.
He handed the vial back to Elsa and she tucked it back under her skirt. She watched Broden closely, and after thirty minutes or so, his eyes returned to normal.
"Are you okay?" she finally asked him.
He nodded slowly, afraid to talk. He asked her what happened with the expression on his face.
"My father told me that sometimes the cook tries to poison our family. He gave me the vial when I was a little girl. He told me that rhyme, and if I ever saw my reflection with red eyes, along with a sick stomach, I needed to take three drops immediately."
Broden eyed her with suspicion. He did not believe the bread was poisoned by the cook. But, there was no way to prove that the king did it.
"Well, thank you," he finally said to Elsa. He picked up her hand and kissed her fingertips. "You saved my life."
Elsa pulled back her hand and blushed. Suddenly though, fear jumped into her eyes.
"Vivienne!" she screamed.
She burst through the library doors and heard the boisterous music coming from the dining hall. She knew she would have gone somewhere secret where the king wouldn't see her eating the rolls. Elsa ran down the small hallway that led to the back lawn. She gasped when she saw the little body lying motionless against the wall. She ripped the pocket out of her dress and poured three drops into the girl's mouth. Her heart pounded as she waited for Vivienne to open her eyes, but she never did.
She slowly stood up and turned away from the girl. Broden was standing behind her and comforted her with a hug.
"You didn't know," he whispered. "It's not your fault."
Elsa only cried into his shoulder. She wiped away her tears after a few minutes and began to walk back to the library. She heard heavy footsteps though, and knew her father was headed towards the book room. She grabbed Broden's hand and ran out the entrance to the back lawn. They ran until they were well hidden by the trees. Her heavy gasping proved to Broden that she had never run before in her life. When she caught her breath, she stared into his eyes.
"What did I do to that girl?" she asked him.
"It wasn't your fault! You were being nice and feeding a starving servant. There was no way you could have known that it was poisoned. You can't be so hard on yourself," he told her.
"Hard on myself?" she shouted angrily. "I just gave that girl her death sentence and you are telling me not to be hard on myself? That's like telling me it was fine for me to kill her!"
Elsa stomped away from him, going further into the trees. She liked the feeling of freedom, and she started to run. She heard Broden calling for her in the distance, but she didn't care. She had never been this close to nature before. She just kept running and running until she felt like her legs might give out from underneath her. After she had travelled a long distance, she came upon a gate.
"No one lives in the forest," she said to herself.
She stepped lightly around to the side where she saw a woman picking plants out of a garden. Afraid of being seen, she stepped backwards to hide behind a tree. But, her foot snapped a fallen branch and the woman whirled around. Elsa stifled a gasp.
Broden had finally caught up to Elsa and stood panting near a tree. Finally, he noticed the gated garden and Elsa hiding behind a tree. He quietly snuck over and stood near her. He followed her gaze and saw the woman picking the plants. He also saw the sign hanging on the inside of the gate. It was a diagram, with pictures of allthe plants and their names next to it. He read the title at the top of the wooden sign.
"Poison garden," he muttered as he breathed out.
He heard Elsa gasp. She turned to face him. Momentarily, he forgot about the garden.
"I'm sorry, Elsa. You are absolutely right. It's not okay that girl died from a roll. We could go talk to your father and have the cook fired," he told her.
Elsa just shook her head, continuing to stare at the woman.
"What's wrong?" he finally asked her.
"The castle really does have a poison garden," she said.
"Yeah. I've heard the rumors from the other guards. They've seen it-"
She pressed her fingers to his mouth to silence him.
"I was saying that the castle really does have a poison garden." She swallowed hard. "And my mother is it's gardener."

Just a block from the sand, surrounded by fine dining and boutique shopping, is the Hilton Waikiki Beach. It's 4 miles (6.4 km) from downtown Honolulu, and a 20-minute cab ride from the airport. It's a 30-minute bus ride to the memorials of Pearl Harbor, and 7 minutes to the base of Diamond Head.
Located on Waikiki Beach, this popular, renovated Honolulu hotel features an island-style environment and is surrounded by Waikiki restaurants and shops. The hotel itself offers a variety of dining temptations.
The oceanfront Sheraton Waikiki is steps from an intimate stretch of the legendary Waikiki Beach—2 miles of golden sand and great swimming. This central-Waikiki resort is also adjacent to luxury shops.
With lush gardens, ponds, and waterfalls, this 22-acre Honolulu destination resort is fronted by several acres of Waikiki Beach; offers views of iconic Diamond Head Crater; a weekly Polynesian extravaganza includes traditional dance and fireworks.
Stay Hotel Waikiki is sandwiched between the Ko'olau Mountains and Waikiki Bay, offering guests views of the ocean and the windward cliffs. The Royal Hawaiian Center mall is an 8-minute walk away. History buffs can drive 15 minutes to Iolani Palace, the last residence of Hawaii's old royal family.
One block away from the world famous Waikiki beach with calm ocean waters and endless water activities, this island-style hotel is 4 blocks from Kapiolani Park and about 4 miles from downtown Honolulu.
With shops and boutiques occupying the ground floor, this twin-tower resort hotel is across from Waikiki Beach, a half-mile from Diamond Head and within 3 blocks of the Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki Aquarium.
Of course, you love to partake in a good landlubbing adventure from time to time. With salty skin and windblown hair, you return from the sea to spend your evening at a luau or an afternoon walking around with shave ice in your hand and a dream in your heart. Navigate your way back to the big, blue ocean and reserve one of the top Honolulu hotelstoday. Then, spend glorious days reconnecting with the sea.
Sitting on your private balcony with a chilled cocktail in one hand, swaying palm trees and the faint sound of a ukulele serving as your evening symphony, you realize this is the good life. So, where are you staying? Waikiki, of course. The Honolulu area that draws in seafarers and beach combers by the thousands. There are loads of accommodations with breathtaking ocean views and aloha spirit, and these hotels in Honolulu are a few of the best:
When it comes to ideal Hawaiian getaways, Honolulu hotels are just the beginning. After a peaceful night of rest, you're ready to tackle the best island activities in sight. Your mornings are best spent in the company of the Pacific, getting sand between your toes turning your face lovingly toward the sun.
After toweling off, slip into your favorite pair of shorts and tennis shoes and make your way to Diamond Head. Hiking the 760-foot-tall volcanic crater will be physically intense, but your lion's heart can accept any challenge. Plus, the sweeping view of the island and sea from the top of the crater will make your effort more than worth it.
Trade geographic landmarks for man-made history with a visit to the USS Arizona Memorial. Once due respects are paid, you'll be ready to go out in search of food. Sit down at a breezy seaside restaurant and order a bowl of poke. This local dish will make you weep tears of joy as you sink your teeth into bite-sized chunks of raw ahi tuna that have been seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions, and sea salt; served over rice, it's the ideal light lunch. Eating it, you'll feel like a native in no time.
You're ready to head to the land of leis and coconut bras. With your phone on airplane mode and your worries on the mainland, you're ready to check in to one of the best places to stay in Honolulu. Get ready to feel sand between your toes and a sense of unparalleled joy. Book your room with Travelocity Honolulu hotel deals, and you'll save enough cash to try every lunch plate in Honolulu if you want.

SPR-mediated reduction of sepiapterin and redox cycling occur by distinct mechanisms
biopterin contents in the brains of these knock-out mice were moderately decreased from postnatal day 0 (P0) and remained constant up to P21
These data suggest an essential role of SPR in the biosynthesis of BH4, and that the SPR gene could be a candidate gene for PARK3.
We showed that pretreating a cardiomyocyte cell line (H9C2) and a TNBC cell line (MDA-MB 231) with aprepitant, a SP receptor antagonist that is routinely used to treat chemotherapy-associated nausea, decreased DOX-induced reduction of viability, apoptotic cell death, and ROS (show ROS1 ELISA Kits) production in cardiomyocytes
These findings reveal important insight into the molecular mechanisms of the NK1R (show TACR1 ELISA Kits) complex as a critical component in a model of pediatric liver cancer and may support the development of novel therapeutic interventions for hepatoblastoma
Neuropeptide signaling through neurokinin-1 (show TAC1 ELISA Kits) and neurokinin-2 (show TAC1 ELISA Kits) receptors augments antigen presentation by human dendritic cells
Inhibition of CaV2.3 (show CACNA1E ELISA Kits) channels by NK1 (show CD160 ELISA Kits) receptors is sensitive to membrane cholesterol but insensitive to caveolin-1 (show CAV1 ELISA Kits).
We earlier presented evidence for a physical interaction between ODC (show ODC1 ELISA Kits) and SPR and we showed that RNAi-mediated knockdown of SPR expression significantly reduced native ODC (show ODC1 ELISA Kits) enzyme activity and impeded Neuroblastoma (show ARHGEF16 ELISA Kits) cell proliferation.
NK-1 (show CD160 ELISA Kits) activation could enhance EGFR (show EGFR ELISA Kits) expression and phosphorylation, and then activate EGFR (show EGFR ELISA Kits) related Erk/MAPK (show MAPK1 ELISA Kits) and Akt (show AKT1 ELISA Kits) pathway.
The single nucleotide polymorphisms in the TACR1 (show TACR1 ELISA Kits) gene are associated with sex differences in postoperative nausea and vomiting.
Results show the existence of a relevant alteration in NK-1R (show TACR1 ELISA Kits) expression in bipolar disorder patients and further suggest Substance P (show TAC1 ELISA Kits) involvement in BD.
Immunohistochemical NK-1R (show TACR1 ELISA Kits) and pEGFR positivity with VDR (show CYP27B1 ELISA Kits) negativity can be used to identify areas of sporadic colorectal neoplasia.
Hepatoblastoma cells predominantly expressed the truncated splice variant of NK1R (show TACR1 ELISA Kits).
this study demonstrates an important role of endothelial SPR in modulating tetrahydrobiopterin and nitric oxide bioavailability
This gene belongs to a gene family of tachykinin receptors. These tachykinin receptors are characterized by interactions with G proteins and contain seven hydrophobic transmembrane regions. This gene encodes the receptor for the tachykinin substance P, also referred to as neurokinin 1. The encoded protein is also involved in the mediation of phosphatidylinositol metabolism of substance P.

Recycling Performance
Stirling Council residents recycled and composted 54.5% of their waste during 2015. This is an increase in recycling and composting over the previous years figures (2014). This is a huge achievement from both an economic and environmental perspective. It reduces landfilling costs whilst cutting the volume of greenhouse gases that are produced when organic waste decomposes in landfill.
During 2016 Stirling Council will continue to look for ways to increase participation in recycling and continue moving towards the Scottish Governments targets of 70% of waste recycled and a maximum of 5% sent to landfill by 2025. By recycling the materials you can no longer re-use you are:
- Saving the Earth's natural resources.
- Saving energy and reducing the risk of climate change.
- Reducing the need for landfill.
- Supporting the circular economy and creating jobs.
Recycling is the third of the traditional "3Rs": Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. It usually comes into play only after reducing waste and reusing materials are no longer options. For more information on what you can do to Reduce, Re-use & Recycle your waste visit our Waste and Sustainability pages.
Recycled materials are not waste, but are resources that can be used to make new products.

Story Behind this Recipe
I wanted to eat these right away!! I made them while thinking back to the ones I had a long time ago!
I made these as an experiment using a standard ingredient ratio, but they were such a big hit I immediately tripled the amounts. Those disappeared in no time too.

GAA: Fontenoys book place in decider
Liatroim Fontenoys booked their place in the Ulster Intermediate Hurling Championship final following their fine 3-10 to 1-13 victory over Antrim champions Cushendun at the weekend.
The Down side may have lived dangerously during spells of the game but they managed to survive a late scare from their opponents to win.
Dan Morgan played a captain's part for the Fontenoys by slamming in two of their goals while Liam Morgan's five points, four from frees, also helped their cause.
Cushendun, who included three brothers of Antrim county chairman John McSparran - Paddy, Paul and Brendan - fought tenaciously in the second-half and landed 1-2 in the latter stages.
But it was not enough to deprive the Fontenoys of victory.
Meanwhile, in the Ulster Club Junior Hurling Championship semi-final Setanta (Donegal) are due to meet Bredagh (Down) at Maghera on Sunday (3.30).
Bredagh had a convincing victory over Warrenpoint in the Down final and their emergence as a hurling force is a boon for the Mourne County.
The Armagh U14 squad will meet their Donegal counterparts in a challenge match on Saturday.
Armagh have been making preparations at this level and Saturday's match will give the selectors an idea of the strength of their squad.
Following the game, both teams will attend the Ulster v Connacht inter-pro hurling tie at MacCumhaill Park, Ballybofey.

Clinic reviews
5 Stars - 17-05-2017 - RosieRose
I saw a lovely South African male vet, he was so helpful, kind & very professional. He eased my concerns with regard to my 2 dogs & new puppy. He showed great respect to us all. Would highly recommend!
4.8 Stars - 22-09-2016 - R Conway
I took my sick puppy in just before closing time on Friday without an appointment as she had diarrhoea with blood in it. Vivian managed to fit her in, sort her out and reassure us both. By Monday she was back to her usual bouncy self. I couldn't have asked for more.
5 Stars - 14-05-2016 - Matthew
Since the first visit with Buster they have been friendly and professional. Buster my dog is always happy to go to the vets. The slightest of problems have been no problem to the vet.
5 Stars - 16-03-2016 - Cleopatra
A wonderful vet practice. Thank you Vivian and ladies for treating Cleopatra and taking care of all the paperwork. I never worry for a moment when I leave her with you.
4.2 Stars - 11-02-2016 - Green
This is a very convenient practice for us but I just find them so very friendly and helpful all the time. What I really love is how loving they are and how gentle they are to my cats - they treat them as if they are their own.
5 Stars - 28-01-2015 - Anita Harrison
I am very happy to take my two cats to this Wimbledon Veterinary Surgery as I know they will be looked after well. Thank You
5 Stars - 27-01-2015 - J WHYTE
I first dealt with 4-Paws when an old cat of mine, who had gone away to die, was taken there. Fortunately he was chipped and 4-Paws contacted me to tell me that someone had brought him in. They were so nice and sensitive and after I went in to see him made it very easy for me to make arrangements to have him cremated there. On the strength of that experience I moved from my current vet [I have another cat] and cannot recommend them highly enough for friendliness, care and attention.
5 Stars - 27-01-2015 - CAdkin
The care at Wimbledon Veterinary Surgery is always exemplary. They have gone above and beyond to help our dog and there is always a friend face to welcome us. Can't recommend them highly enough.
4.8 Stars - 21-01-2015 - Lucy
My cat Earl gets very stressed by a visit to the vet, he pees in his box and can be aggressive to staff, however this hasn't stopped any of the staff from caring about Earl, they clean his box and do their utmost to minimise his stress whilst ensuring he gets the medical attention he needs. Thank you for making a stressful time that bit easier for myself an Earl, much appreciated.
5 Stars - 20-12-2014 - Harvey the Boxer
Our little boxer puppy didn't have the best start in life. As well as a heart murmur he had 2 different parasites in his tummy that were causing malnutrition. He was under weight and lethargic. Despite a recommendation from a previous vet to return him to the breeder, Wimbledon Veterinary Surgery helped us decide on keeping him. They worked so closely with us, providing tests, meds and a helping hand whenever it was needed. They were key in bringing Harvey back to good health. He has now gotten rid of his parasites, has grown out of his heart murmur and putting on weight everyday. All in all he is a great example of a boxer. Thank you so much for everything you have done - you have been fundamental to harveys growth. Shaun, Lee & of course Harvey!!!

Come in here. Quick!
I'm busy, love. Give me a minute.
Get in here. Now!
All right, all right. Keep your hair on. Now, what's all the fuss about, Stan? Oh!
Yes. Oh.
What is it?
That's what I was about to ask you.
Where did it come from?
Well, I just opened the fridge to get milk for my bran flakes and it sort of... plopped out on to the floor. Don't touch it, you stupid woman! It might be dangerous.
Stop yelling at me, Stan. I just wanted to get a closer look at it. It looks dead, anyway. It doesn't seem to be breathing.
How do you know it even breathes? It might not have lungs. Where the hell did it come from?
Oh. I wonder if...
If what?
Hang on---
DON'T! Don't open that door!
Calm down, love. I was just--- I'll have a look at the others. No, they all seem to be all right.
What? What's in that bowl?
Look. They're just eggs.
Eggs? What the--- They don't look like any eggs I've ever seen. Where'd you get them?
The farm shop. You know, the one that's just opened, down the road next to the old church. The owner was ever so nice. Lovely old guy. He seemed a little eccentic, but very polite and obliging. Said they were goose eggs; that's why they're bigger than usual. What?
That... thing on the floor is not a bloody baby goose!
Well no, it doesn't have any feathers... yet. They don't, I think, when they first hatch out---
No, Stella. It doesn't have any feathers. It also has three... four... SIX legs. Are four of them going to disappear when its feathers grow in? Is that... horn in the middle of its head going to fall off?
Is that not its beak, then?
No, it's not a bloody beak, Stella! Beaks aren't green!
Stop shouting, Stan. You'll disturb the poor little thing. Ooh, look! It moved! Stan, let go of my arm. Where are we going?
Stella, I'm going to call the police. Don't you dare open that door. Let the experts deal with it.
Oh, Stan, the poor little thing's all on its own in there. Can't I just put a hot water bottle near it, to keep it warm?
Stella, for God's sake, woman, it's not normal. Neither of us have any idea what it might do to us.
Stan, I don't know why you make such a fuss...

Spring Barley Risotto
A healthier alternative to the more traditional arborio risotto rice, barley adds iron and fiber to this fresh take on risotto. One cup of the green peas found in this dish offers more protein than a large egg.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Body+Soul, March 2009
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup pearled barley
- 2 leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, or water
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 14 1/2 ounces vegetable broth
- 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut on bias into 2-inch pieces
- 1 box (10 ounces) frozen peas, defrosted
- 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced mint leaves, plus small leaves for garnish
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add barley and leeks; cook until beginning to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add wine; cook until evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water; bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer until liquid absorbs, about 10 minutes.
Add broth and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until barley is tender and creamy, about 10 minutes. Add asparagus; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in peas until heated through. Add Parmesan and mint; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with mint leaves.
