Unleash the Hounds! (Link Roundup)
October 22, 2011 by Jason Pitzl-Waters
There are lots of articles and essays of interest to modern Pagans out there, sometimes more than I can write about in-depth in any given week. So The Wild Hunt must unleash the hounds in order to round them all up.Beliefnet News runs a story on an upcoming Washington DC Pagan event, "a protest to the New Apostolic Reformation's 51-day prayer campaign targeting Pagans, Wiccans, Witches, Druids, Heathens, and other Goddess-worshipers nationwide." The press release from event organizer Caroline Kenner probably got picked up thanks to a pull-quote provided by the Reverend Barry Lynn of Americans United. You can read more about the nation-wide Hail Columbia campaign, here. More on this speci … [Read more...]

Eagle Cam
Above image from Nelson County Times. According to the Center for Conservation Biology, a joint project of the College of William and Mary and Virginia Commonwealth University, the bald eagle has made an amazing comeback. From 30 nesting pairs in the early 1970s to 730 pairs in 2011, the bald eagle is definitely a conservation success story. And now thanks to the collaboration of the Richmond Times-Dispatch you can watch live video of a pair nesting along the James River near Richmond. According to the Times-Dispatch the birds are most likely to…continue reading →

Yesterday, I had a lateral eyelid lift, and lower mini facelift (weekend facelift) which pulled tightly behind my ears. I also had fat transfer to my eye and cheekbone area from Smart Lipo from my love handles. The next day, I am very swollen around my eyes, which are deep bluish black and terribly swollen. I can barely see out of the right eye. There also seems to be a great deal of fluid on day 2 along with the bruising. Are these normal?
Bruising, Swelling, and Seroma After Multiple Procedures
Doctor Answers 3
Weekend face lift
This is the weekend face lift.
Fat transfer taken by Smartlipo was not very smart since the fat is dead cells.
Fluid collection can be a hematoma so call the surgeon immediately. You should be seen and examined. if there is a hematoma it can cause multiple problems, including skin loss.
This is normal
With all the surgery that you have had, it is normal to have a lot of fluid and edema and swelling and bruising around the entire face for the first two weeks after the surgery. This is normal.
Bruising and swelling after eyelid and mini facelift proceedures
You've had 3 significant proceedures in an area which tends to swell and bruise easily. Only your surgeon can determine what is "normal" in light of your medical situation and his past experience with these proceedures. Set up a post op. visit and discuss your concerns.

Each year the Sustainable Living Festival presents over 300 events celebrating sustainability. A packed program of talks, workshops, film, art and design events to blow your mind. You too can join in the Festival fever by hosting an event in next year's program. Take sustainability to the next level. We are seeking events occurring from 4th-28th February 2017.
Final applications close 31 Dec 2016
Venues include theatres, pubs, backyards, gardens, churches, vacant buildings, offices, parks and even trams! Contact SLF if you are having difficulties finding the right venue for your Festival event.
The City of Melbourne is offering Festival event organisers use of some of their CBD venues.
Over time, SLF has developed criteria to assess the appropriateness of program content. SLF uses four core elements when selecting Festival presenters, exhibitors and partners:
Process – facilitating a community driven event, engaging community members in an open programming process
Standards – using negative screening and positive search guidelines to set standards
Consultation – gaining advice from community groups, peak bodies and specialists
Feedback – seeking feedback from Festival visitors, exhibitors and presenters.
The criteria aim to be inclusive of a diverse range of progressive approaches, while recognising the appropriate scale and speed of change required to achieve sustainability. Not surprisingly, when we are tackling the goal of global sustainability, great complexity and conflict are often involved. The Festival recognises the need for robust dialogue and cooperation in our communities as collaboration is one of the strongest ways to achieve rapid cultural change. The Festival is an exciting and challenging opportunity to exercise our ability to creatively remake our society.
Contact SLF for further information you may require.

Acknowledge the Source
Credo is built on a foundation of faithfully serving God through musical talents, service projects, and everyday experiences. Students are nurtured daily in their journey of faith and find the caring atmosphere at Credo to be conducive to spiritual and personal growth. Credo students find significant mentoring in everyday experiences with the faculty and with their fellow students.
Every morning, students participate in Morning Sing, a devotional time led from a Christian perspective. On Fridays, students get a chance to share their personal faith experience by leading Morning Sing. This act of acknowledging and giving glory back to God sets the Credo program apart from other high level programs.
"My daughter has learned so much from her time at Credo. Your program has the amazing gift of valuing others and helping them to realize their potential and worth in Christ. I can never repay the kindness you have shown her, but what I can tell you is that in dozens of ways throughout last year she passed on the love she received at camp to several who don't even believe in God." – Credo parent

Literacy news
Education Secretary states children should read 50 books a year
22 Mar 2011
Children as young as 11 should be expected to read 50 books a year as part of a national drive to improve literacy standards, according to Michael Gove, the Education Secretary.
He said pupils should complete the equivalent of about a novel a week and that the academic demands placed on English schoolchildren had been "too low for too long".
The vast majority of teenagers read one or two books as part of their GCSEs and Mr Gove said all schools should "raise the bar" by requiring pupils to read a large number of books at the end of primary school and throughout secondary education. A report in December concluded that reading standards among British teenagers had slipped from 17th to 25th in an international league table.
Mr Gove's latest comments were made following a tour of "charter schools" - state-funded institutions that were run free of government interference - in the United States. One primary school in a hugely deprived area of Harlem, New York, set pupils a "50-book challenge" over the course of a year and children also competed to be quickest to read all seven Harry Potter books.
Mr Gove said:
"We, the Coalition Government, have attempted to raise the bar but, I think, haven't been ambitious enough. Recently, I asked to see what students were reading at GCSE and I discovered that something like 80 or 90 per cent were just reading one or two novels and overwhelmingly it was the case that it included Of Mice and Men. We should be saying that our children should be reading 50 books a year, not just one or two for GCSE."
A current review of the National Curriculum was expected to specify the authors children should study at each stage of their education. As an interim measure, Mr Gove would be asking leading children's authors to set out the 50 books each child should read, with schools urged to issue the challenge to pupils.

The rest, Kennicott hinted, she'd better leave till he "made a ten-strike."
"Billy had made a ten-strike in the West," he remarked to his wife.
They met as usual the amused inquiries of the Passonians regarding the ten-strike they had been expected to make.
Say, Cap., you've made a ten-strike today that ought to make you a Major.
Judging from the effect upon her and the publisher, I may calculate on what bowlers call a ten-strike.
She had made, as Gilmore said to his wife behind the curtain, a "ten-strike."
They have no ninepins, so they are not trying to make a ten-strike.
I thought he did make a ten-strike once, but that the slide twenty years ago knocked his claim into a cocked-hat?
They had done their work in the finest American naval style, and had made a ten-strike against the German mine-layers.
He wrote me jubilantly of what a ten-strike he was going to make with that speech.

- How to Read a Study Record
Transvaginal hybrid procedures are of interest as an available NOTES-Procedure for the clinical routine. Few authors have demonstrated the feasibility and safety of such procedures (e.g. cholecystectomy) in selected patient collectives. In 2008 Lacy at al. published the experience with a transvaginal sigmoidectomy as a first in human report. The aim of this prospective data collection is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the transvaginal hybrid anterior resection in the clinical routine.
Therefore all patients giving the informed consent to the transvaginal hybrid anterior resection will be included and assessed concerning feasibility to perform the transvaginal approach and complete the operation transvaginally.

Procedure: Laparoscopic transvaginal hybrid anterior resection
Transvaginal Hybrid Anterior Resection: three 5mm trocars are placed transabdominally (one trans-umbilical, the other two in the lower abdomen). Identification of the inferior mesenteric vein and artery. Clipping of the vein. Then placement of a 12mm trocar through the posterior fornix of the vagina for stapling of the inferior mesenteric artery. After mobilisation of the colon descendens and the splenic flexure stapling of the proximal rectum through the 12mm trocar placed vaginally. Afterwards the colpotomy is performed and the mobilised left hemi-colon is extracted transvaginally. The proximal colonic resection is performed extracorporeally in the conventional fashion with placement of a purse-string suture and insertion of the circular stapling anvil into the proximal end of the bowel. The bowel is then replaced into the abdominal cavity. The colpotomy is then closed. A circular stapler is inserted transanally and the end-to-end anastomosis is performed.

As web developers we are faced with an increasing number of browsers and browser versions. Regarding CSS styles, we are obviously trying to write CSS code that is cross-browser compatible, which should be possible to achieve for a decent web developer. Nevertheless there are rare cases where it seems almost impossible to write a straight-forward, cross-browser compatible CSS. For these cases we may use CSS hacks that target only one or more specific browsers or just a specific version of a browser.
In the following I have tried to list some CSS hacks for the most important browsers on today's web that might come in handy.
Internet Explorer 6:
.exampleIE6 {_background-color:#FBF9EA;}
ATTENTION: In case of an outdated doctype-definition (e.g. HTML 4.01 Transitional), the underscore-hack will be interpreted by newer IE versions as well.
Internet Explorer 6 + 7:
.exampleIE6and7 {*background-color:#FBF9EA;}
Internet Explorer 6 + 7 + 8:
.exampleIE6and7and8 {background-color:#FBF9EA\9;}
.exampleFF, x:-moz-any-link {background-color:#FBF9EA;}
ATTENTION: IE 7 also interprets this rule, so you might need the *-Hack for IE 7 afterwards.
Firefox 3.0 and above:
html>/**/body .exampleFF30andAbove, x:-moz-any-link, x:default {background-color:#FBF9EA;}
Firefox 3.5 and above:
body:first-of-type .exampleFF35andAbove, x:-moz-any-link, x:default { background-color:#FBF9EA; }
Firefox 3.6 and above:
@media screen and (-moz-images-in-menus:0) { .exampleFF36andAbove {background-color:#FBF9EA;} }
Chrome + Safari:
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { .exampleChromeAndSafari {background-color:#FBF9EA;} }
@media all and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:10000), not all and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { head~body .exampleOpera {background-color:#FBF9EA;} }
Combined hacks:
You may also combine any of these css hacks if needed, e.g. the following example sets a general bottom-margin of 20px and then redefines it to 10px for IE 7 and 5px for IE 6.
.exampleCombinedHacks {margin-bottom:20px; *margin-bottom:10px; _margin-bottom:5px;}
I have set up a test page for the hacks above allowing you to test which styles apply to your current browser.
Although I think that this list offers most probably enough CSS hacks to fix the usual problems, you may also have a look at this blog post by Paul Irish offering you even more hacks.

Current, Diet, Hungry For ChangeHealth Benefits of Guava
In this month's issue of 'InStyle,' actress Jennifer Aniston gives you her best tricks for diet and exercise.
Jennifer Aniston, 43, was awarded the Fitness magazine's "most wanted body" of 2011, and for good reasons : she's famous for her fit body, with glowing skin and iconic hair.
So what does keep Jennifer Aniston's body so amazing ? An intensive workout routine, and a good diet which allows some fun sometimes !
Regarding her workout, she reveals she hit the gym pretty often :
"I work out almost every day, at least five or six days a week. I do 40 minutes of cardio: spinning, running, the elliptical, or a combination of all three."
Aniston also says she does one day of pilates per week, and yoga three days a week, while constantly trying to mix up her routine. Which is important, because nothing's worse than a boring routine. And in terms of efficiency, if you start on a boring routine, the chances that you will give up on the way are much higher. So mixing and changing all the time, as well as making it a game, are some key success that you should keep in mind !
Regarding her diet, Jennifer Aniston says :
"Most of the time I eat things like salmon or other fish, quinoa, lentils, and green vegetables. I also take liquid fish oil and resveratrol, which is supposed to be good for your heart."
So even if six gym session a week is too much for your schedule - which might be the case if you have long work hours of many children to take care of, Aniston's routine can still be inspiration for you.
In a nutshell, here are the key factors :
1. Strength train. Too often women skip strength because they're afraid of looking bulky, but studies show that strength trainingcan increase muscle tone, help you burn more calories, boost bone health, and more. Add strength training, whether it's with Pilates, free weights, resistance bands or another method, to your routine at least twice per week.
2. Workout on-the-go. If a busy celeb like Aniston can squeeze in a few anywhere, anytime workouts, surely you can do, too. Follow her lead and add a few equipment-free exercises, such as stretches, crunches, squats, lunges, or yoga, to your morning or evening routine.
3. Go fish. Diets full of omega-3 products like fish help control weight, improve your skin and hair, help your heart health and more. Studies show eating fish just once or twice a week can be enough to reap the benefits. If you don't eat fish, consider taking an omega-3 supplement to your diet.
4. Splurge -- guilt-free. Aniston's not shy about occasionally eating the foods she loves (like guacamole), and then getting back on track with her healthy diet the next day. If it's a special occasion, go ahead and have dessert without beating yourself up about it -- just renew your commitment to a healthy diet and exercise when you're finished.

On Saturday the Associated Press ran a story on the 2006 National Black Peoples Unity Convention held in Gary, Indiana. It begins: "Entertainer Harry Belafonte renewed his criticism of President Bush and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan urged education reform during the second day of the 2006 National Black Peoples Unity Convention."
Portraying Belafonte, who had his last big hit record half a century ago, as an entertainer is stretching it. He would much more accurately be described as a propagandizing dupe.
Here's a man who has raised money for the Rosenberg Fund, named after atomic bomb spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. Who hailed Fidel Castro as "an example of keeping the principles the Rosenbergs fought and died for alive." Who participated in pro-Communist "peace rallies" in Europe.
And who identified the United States as the real culprit behind terrorism: "We move about the world arrogantly, calling wars when we want, overthrowing governments when we want. There is a price to be paid for it — look at 9/11."
Belafonte can no more fairly be identified primarily as an entertainer than Minister Louis Farrakhan, who - around the time of Harry's last big hit - sang under the name "Calypso Gene."

Published: January 22, 2007 at 5:19 AMSo very happy the colts won!! Bears prepare to lose!! GO COLTS!!!
Published: January 22, 2007 at 7:15 AMWell I have to respond!
Go Urlacher! Go Rex!
The Colts are the ones that should be worried :)
It's really weird that both teams are in very close proximity to each other!
And it might just be you two, but why do you want the Colts to win so badly?
Published: January 22, 2007 at 7:25 AMThe close proximity of the two teams might mean lower ratings. Anyway, go Colts.
Published: January 22, 2007 at 12:27 PMGo Bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Published: January 22, 2007 at 1:17 PMI'm rooting for the Colts, so I can hear the collective silence of these blowhole sports reporters at ESPN among other networks....who say that Peyton Manning won't be a great quarterback until he wins a Super Bowl. Da Bears won the title game, but I think that it was the Saints who actually beat themselves. If the Colts run defense is as good as it's been during the playoffs, than the Bears are doomed because I just don't think Rex can outgun the Colts.
Published: January 22, 2007 at 2:20 PMI like the Jets but um yeah! so yeah Colts are definatly gonna win!
Published: January 22, 2007 at 3:18 PMAs a life-log resident of the DC/Baltimore area, I cannot be happy to see the Irsay's reach the Super Bowl, epecially since they had to be the Ravens as well. I do, however, greatly admire Peyton Manning and hope that he could do the one thing Dan Marino couldn't.
Published: January 22, 2007 at 3:33 PMWell, FWIW, Jim Irsay ain't Bob, that's for sure.
And my wife, a Cleveland native, would like to remind folks in the Baltimore area that they gave up all moral high ground over the Colts when they swiped the Browns from Cleveland.
Plus, the Ravens got their Super Bowl trophy already.... ;-) And if you really want to talk about sports owners cutting the heart out of a city, Google "Nelson Skalbania" and "Indianapolis Racers" sometime. Or, if that doesn't depress you, try "Curse of Tom Owens".
And I haven't even gotten into what Tony George did to the Indy 500.
Point is, Indy sports fans have suffered plenty.
Published: January 22, 2007 at 5:20 PMOh and we have that offensive SNL skit DAAAAA BEARS! Chicago is the city full of curses. The Bears? How about the Honeybear curse? We used to have cheerleaders and they were disbanded because of budget cuts. We haven't won a Super Bowl (or get even close) since!
But why does everybody hate the Bears? What did we do to anybody? We deserve it as much as any other team. We haven't won the Super Bowl since 1986 (I was two months old!)
Published: January 22, 2007 at 6:55 PMAnd Indianapolis hasn't won a Super Bowl in... well, ever. And the Pacers haven't won an NBA title since... well, ever. And Indy doesn't have a baseball team.
Chicago? White Sox: two years ago. Bulls: six titles in eight years in the 1990s. Bears: Super Bowl in 1986. (You do, however, have my sympathies over the Blackhawks.)
I'd say that Chicago's had its share of titles. It's Indy's turn.
Published: January 22, 2007 at 8:47 PMThe Colts haven't won a Super Bowl since 1971 to be exact Robert...but they were the Baltimore Colts back in the day, so Indy is due.
You can't overlook the Bears though. They did have the best record in the NFC...how they did it I have no idea, but they did accomplish that. One thing is for sure...Rex better show up, because the Colts won't beat themselves like New Orleans did.
Published: January 22, 2007 at 10:07 PMYou cut to the core Robert!
I play hockey :)
But anyway, in my opinion, the Bears are one of the few teams that brings the entire city together. People tend to be Sox or Cubs fans and nobody cares about the Blackhawks (which is sad).
Well, it should be a good game anyway. I am just suprised that most people want Indy to win over Chicago. I thought it would be more half and half
Published: January 22, 2007 at 10:57 PMIf it weren't for Skalbania selling Gretzky to the Oilers, then folding Indy's team instead of taking the offer to join the NHL, what Wirtz has done to the Blackhawks would rank as the worst ownership in hockey history. Chicago used to be a *great* hockey town. But Wirtz kept 'em off TV and refused to join even the late 20th century in player negotiations. So a generation grew up not caring about the team. And now, from what I here, the Blackhawks don't even draw well anymore. Sad. I hope other owners, in other sports, too, take a lesson. Ya gotta get kids and families seeing your games. In person, ideally, but at least on TV.
My daughter loves hockey. But I can't afford to take her to more than a game or two a year. And there's no local hockey on free TV in LA. So the NHL's losing the chance to develop a lifelong fan. Just stupid marketing.
Published: January 23, 2007 at 9:24 AMI have to say, Indy already played the real Super Bowl the other night. The AFC is much stronger and Chicago may be in trouble. They can slow down Indy but not stop them. Plus Chicago can not score 35 with that QB. Now if Chicago had someone like Manning or Brady at the helm, this would be a great game.
Indy finally won a big game, good for them, but Pats have 3 rings and they are not done yet. We will look at the draft to fix a few holes and Indy will be losing to us (Pats) as usual in the big game.
Remember this is the first Big game Manning has won ever. He may end up with one ring in a few weeks but he will still be two rings short of Mr. Tom Brady.
Brady has at least one more ring to go before he is finished!
Published: January 23, 2007 at 6:30 PMI'm Sorry, Mr. Niles but my Bears are going to walk away with the Vince Lombardi trophy.
Brian Emery writes: "Plus Chicago can not score 35 with that QB."
I Respond: Excuse me? They scored 39 points against the Saints last weekend. In fact, the Rex Grossman led Bears offense scored on four of its first five possesions. There were a total of 16 points scored in those four possesions -- which was more than the total 14 points that the Saints scored in the entire game.
"That QB?" It was THAT quarterback who has amassed a 2006-2007 win/loss record of 15-3. It was THAT quarterback who hit wide receiver Bernard Berrian with a 33 yard pass that locked up last weeks game. And it was THAT quarterback who handed the Saints a 25 point SMACKDOWN in the NFC Championship.
Meanwhile that Manning guy managed to win only three of his last seven regular season games. Not too impressive.
But go ahead. Jump on the bandwagon that predicts the Bear's demise. I'm sure such pronouncements will be as effective as the Saints' Reggie Bush was when he decided to taunt Brian Urlacher after scoring the Saints' second NFC touchdown. The last one they will score this season.
Published: January 23, 2007 at 10:23 PMUm... look at my earlier post relating Chicago's pro sports history with Indianapolis'. Let's just say that I am totally emotionally prepared to watch Indy blow it again. The track record ain't on Indy's side....
But, like some pathetic woodland creature trying to lope across a busy highway, I remain always hopeful that, one day, an Indy team will make it alive to the promised land on the other side.
Published: January 25, 2007 at 12:55 PMGo Colts, Go Dungy!!!
I'm a Bucs fan and here in Tampa most of us feel Dungy kinda got screwed when he got fired and Gruden took Dungy's team to the Super Bowl the very next year...don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Jon Gruden too, but I think Dungy is a true class act and he deseves to get a ring. Either way, regardless of who wins, a former Tampa Bay coaching staff will be champion (Lovie or Tony)...kinda says something about the caliber of coaches we produce here in Tampa.

A small bouquet of red carnations with a pink rose is about all that remains of the makeshift memorial that had once covered the walls outside Salon Meritage.
Almost three months after the Oct. 12 massacre, when a gunman stormed the beauty salon at 500 Pacific Coast Highway and shot nine people - killing eight - the quiet beach town is still coping with its losses.
In the aftermath of the shooting, people blanketed the outside of the business with flowers, candles, pictures and poems.
Today, the salon remains closed, an empty shell with a sign on the door that thanks the community for its support.
"We feel your love," it says.
That love may soon be given a permanent home, and that support has reached more than $400,000.
Today, the Seal Beach City Council is expected to form a Salon Meritage committee to select a location and design for a permanent memorial, City Manager Jill Ingram said Friday.
Ingram said the funding of the memorial isn't clear, adding that it could either be from city resources or from private contributions. She also said it's unclear whether the memorial will be near the salon or at a different location.
"It's hard to determine now, until the committee decides what type of memorial it will be," the city manager said. "There's a lot of work that has to be done."
Residents are encouraged to outline their thoughts on a possible memorial on a form on the city's website, www.sealbeachca.gov, by Friday.
A tentative schedule aims to have the memorial ready for the first anniversary of the shooting.
"Meeting this schedule could be difficult, particularly dependent upon the scale and amount of public participation," a staff report cautions.
Meanwhile, collection of donations to the Seal Beach Victims' Fund has been closed.
The exact final figure isn't yet known, but more than $400,000 has been received, according to Seth Eaker, one of the trustees of the fund.
"It's a tremendous showing of support," he said.
Donations were made by Seal Beach residents and from around the country, Eaker said.
The Seal Beach Victims' Fund was established in partnership with Seal Beach, the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce and Watson & Associates, a real estate firm, forming a clearinghouse for the funds to help the victims.
The trustees said some of the donations were the result of strong efforts, including volunteers such as Lynn Alfieri of Netwin Solutions, Howard Peck and Rick Hodgins of Phillips Steel, Mike Martin of the Old Ranch Country Club, and Gina Phillips of the Chamber of Commerce.
Also, according to Eaker, Marie Pope, of West Comm, helped in raising over $18,000 through T-shirt sales.
Old Ranch Country Club and its partners raised more than $61,000.
"It is due to the tremendous support of community leaders and volunteers ... that fundraisers have been as successful as they have been," Eaker said. "All of these volunteers and dozens of others have selflessly given to make a difference."
While the community attempts to move forward, the future of the salon itself, as well as of the alleged shooter in the worst mass killing in Orange County history, is still unknown.
The owner of the salon, Randy Lee Fannin, was among those killed. Police say that a worker there, Michelle Fournier, was targeted by her ex-husband, Scott Evans Dekraai, over a child custody dispute.
Dekraai has pleaded not guilty to eight murder and one attempted murder charges. His next court appearance is set for April 24.

So many ways to prepare
Tofu is delish!
-Haiku by Sara Bloomberg
A part of many Asian cuisines, soy has entered the American kitchen full force- from soymilk to tofu to edamame and beyond! And it's not just for vegetarians… In fact, our custom of using it as a replacement for meat and dairy products is quite modern.
Traditionally, soy complemented the rest of a meal- it wasn't considered the main course. But making soy products, such as tofu, is still rooted in traditional methods and we are lucky to have an artisanal producer, Hodo Soy Beanery, in our backyard.
Deriving its name from Chinese characters that mean "good bean", Hodo is based in Oakland. They use certified organic soybeans from a family owned cooperative in the Midwest and pride themselves on creating small batches of fresh products. For a deeper look into Hodo's production ethos, watch this clip on youtube.
Here at BiRite, we're featuring Hodo Soy Beanery's tofu in our Forbidden Rice Salad, part of our new Spring menu available in the deli. It's made with tantalizing Forbidden black rice, sumptuous Hodo tofu and crispy green pea sprouts, all tossed in a ginger-rice wine vinaigrette. It's vegan friendly and delicious on it's own! But would also go well with stir fried sugar snap peas and slices of seared pork tenderloin. Add some phó and sake and let the feast commence!
P.S. You can find an array of Hodo products in our refrigerated section, too!

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Helpful staff. Good food in the restaurants. Being rushed through dinner as there was a large party in.
Have stayed here before and found it a pleasant and convenient place to stay in Shrewsbury. Will most likely be back again in the New Year. Thank you
We loved the location and the breakfast was first class, cooked to order too. The bedroom was on the small side.
The location was great. The breakfast was even better. All in all a great stay. n/a
The reception staff in particular were very helpful
Very comfortable and well and conveniently situated in the town. Did not find one of the check in people very friendly.
Good breakfast and excellent meal at Chambers The car parking arrangements
Location and external appearance. Cracks in the tiles; holes in the walls; dank view of the internal courtyard. Before I stayed at the hotel I believed it was a three-star going on four, but now I know it's going on two. Time for a total internal refurbishment...
the location is perfect and a beautiful old building also the bathroom was really awful
The restaurnat staff werer both efficient and friendly - the food was nicely presented and well cooked Not really - the floor boards creaked - but the place is after all very old...this was charming, really. But could disturb other guests etc in the adjoinng rooms!
Very friendly hotel staff, good food. some of the decor is very tired
The choice of lounges, restaurants, bars. We also enjoyed the breakfasts, and found all of the staff pleasant and helpful. The bedroom was outdated (regardless of the old character of the hotel) and parking was difficult. Possibly, locals use the parking facilities on a Saturday and there were no spaces left for hotel guests.
its location right in the centre of town. walking distance to everything we needed. free parking.
Good Food, Clean Room, Friendly Staff
Service was friendly and unobstrusive, there was plenty of comfortable lounge area for both quiet and socialising with guests etc. It was central for our purpose and had a carpark.
Very comfy bed Large Bath Log fire in Lounge Excellent breakfast
warm with big open fires, town centre location with car parking Poor selection of wine, drinks very expensive
We liked the comfortable bed and the downstairs rooms especially the big open fireplace.The breakfasts were really lovely. Our room was at the front next to the busy road so was very noisy at times.
Comfortable rooms, great breakfast, friendly helpful staff.
Friendly, polite, unobtrusive staff. Good food, clean and tidy. The staff responded well when I asked for another bed in the room for my son to stay. The lady (Portugese or Spanish), that served breakfast was lovely, and a real asset to the hotel. The Darwin room is a feature of the hotel and allows for private family dinners and meetings away from the main dining area. It would have been nice, being as my stay was over the Christmas period and temperatures were in minus double figures to have been offered an upgrade to the main hotel.
Good food. No toothbrush and no toothpaste. The customers should be well informed of this beforehand. As a frequent traveller, I can't really accept this is common practice.
I found the receptionist really pleasant,which gave a very good first impression.My daughter and I dined in the bar, and we found the service very good. No complaints.
None There wasn't any hot water when I used the shower. On arrival we ordered some tea and coffee, as we were too early to check in, and had to wait nearly 30 minutes for it. I felt this wasn't really acceptable considering I had been driving for almost 3 hours.
Staff were extremely helpful. Very pleasant stay. Will definitely stay at the Lord Hill again.
Arrived on the Friday night and had a meal in the bar/restaurant. Breakfast choice on Saturday was excellent, as was Sunday. Did struggle to get a table on the Saturday eveing as there was a wedding, which we were unaware of. However, this was soon rectified by helpful staff. N/A
Staff very pleasant and helpful. Food good value and good quality for the price. Handy for the centre of Shrewbury. Room 101!was very cold despite 2 rads being on. Towel rail in bathroom wasn't working so bathroom was freezing cold. Despite reporting the fault nothing was done about it for 3 days. Noisy[traffic] and not much room to work. Pillows poor and need replacing.
Good nights sleep very poor reception on BBC1 and I didn't like the smell of the air-freshener
Hotel is in a good location, staff were polite and helpful, breakfast and buffet lunch were satisfactory Rooms were a little tired looking and shower facilities old fashioned
The room overall was very good plenty of space. The decor was to a high standed. The shower was poor, breakfast was not the best! the tv in the room should be updated.
The relaxed atmosphere,the food was first class. Friendly staff on hand. I loved the pool and spa.A very good 4 star hotel. I would have liked a map to find my room. Im terrible at directions and kept getting lost. Maybe have some landmark pictures. Go left at the Picasso sort of thing.
The spa facilities were very good On the whole the hotel staff all gave poor service
Dinner Bar staff and poor service there
On Arrival the Hotel was well presented Room was nice, However the bathroom was dirty, mould / discolured around the bath and shower screen quite off putting. Sorry
Tucked away Staff in Restaurant wore "grey" shirts which originally would have been white. If the table cloths can be a bright white why can't you put the staff's white shirts in the same wash?
use of the spa facilities really creaky floors
In ownn grounds, pool and gym, friendly and helpful staff
As a wedding function was held that evening a party followed in the corridor and in adjacent bedrooms until 3am (yes!!! 3 in the morning) which made it very difficult to get any sleep. Other residents complained loudly and the hotel management were nowhere to be seen. I will not stay at this hotel again!!!!!
The receptionist ( training to be a clinical psychologist ) was the most smiley ideal receptionist and of course gave the most wonderful first impression.Other staff excellent ,good breakfast and inclusive use of the spa is terrific value.will come again. The electric storeage heater in room 60 was not particularly efficient
Friendly greeting on arrival, comfortable room and a great breakfast.Would stay again.
Queit cozy place but within few minutes of town square. Family-run informality, excellent breakfast. The breakfast window of 8-9 on a Sunday was too early, too short. The room cleaners also worked only till 11 on Sunday which was surprising.
The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent.
Very central setting. Welcoming owners. Parking is an issue in the mornings
situation, very convenient could do with a few finishing touches
I only stayed one night, but my overall impression was of an efficiently run hotel. There was nothing I disliked.
Clean and tidy, staff helpful and friendly No Parking, tv reception was poor.
The bathroom tiles and the wifi I found the brekfast staff unpleasant. It seemed as if he didn't want to be there - he keep banging the plates and cups about - in fact another breakfaster commented upon this. He was quite grumpy. Maybe he should look for a new job. The cleaning lady and the young girl were much nicer.
Comfortable bed. Lots of clean white towels. Interesting old building. Handy for river. Noisy (near building site and pubs). Instant coffee with breakfast. Lots of stairs to climb with suitcase. Overpowering "air fresheners". No thermostat on radiator. Owner not particularly friendly.
Good location, close to shops, restaurants and attractions but on a quiet(ish) road; easy to come and go when we wanted and a car park nearby. Service a bit uninspired; certainly not the friendliest hotel we have stayed in. Decor a bit tired and old fashioned.
Excellent staff, excellent facilities, no fault in any way
The service was excellent and very welcoming, they could not do enough for you. The room was excellent, very clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious and you could choose what ever you wanted. There were not any bad points.
Friendly staff. Cleanliness of room. Food very good Room facilities a bit basic but reasonable given cost
Lovely old building. They tried to charge me for breakfasts I hadn't had because they assumed I was with a group of others staying at the same time.
I have stayed at this hotel previously, but not very a few years. Rooms have been improved but the hotel has maintianed it's historic character
we had a lovely evening meal ,staff were very nice , very cold room ,broken shower water went everywhere but my body and it was held together with tape, we felt springs badly in matress ,
lovely and warm on a very cold weekend
Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere and excellent food. Very nice environment in which to spend a weekend away.
Close proximity to the centre of Shrewsbury We chose to pay extra for breakfast, but it seemed as though it was too much of an effort with the lady in the breakfast room - we ended up just having tea, cereal and toast because it felt 'uncomfortable'.
close to town,food stairs abit dangerous
Exceptionally clean and comfortable hotel with fantastically friendly staff who made every effort possible to make you feel welcome. Pub downstairs a little noisy but nothing discomforting.
There were no coathangers in the room and when we asked for some it was like we were asking for something special. Water not particularly hot for a shower.
Rooms clean and well furnished. Excellent bathroom facilities, brilliant shower and plenty of hot water Parking can be difficult in Shrewsbury but staff are helpful in guiding you in this respect.
Staff were efficient friendly especially the manager who made our stay very welcoming. We would definatly be recommending your hotel to friends and family and would definatly return in the future There wasnt any
I stayed here for just one night, I usually stay at Holiday Inn or similar. I found the quality, comfort and friendliness of staff to be quite exceptional, one of the most comfortable hotels that I have ever stayed in and I will be using this hotel in the future. My only niggle would be a slight draught from the window but saying that, the age and caracture of the building makes this acceptable.
A warm welcome in a relaxed setting. Great location for shopping and going out! The room was clean and attractive and had everything we needed for a short stay. The food in the restaurant was lovely and the service again was friendly and attentive! Toilets in restaurant in the morning were not clean. In fact extremely dirty!! We were there quite early but I do expect toilets to be cleaned before you open.
Excellent breakfast No mirror in bedroom near socket plug to dry hair, & not much room to walk round bed. Room 1
The room had lots of space and the bath room was lovely. Bed was very comfortable Needs to be a mirror in the main room. There was only 1 large and 1 small towel for myself and boyfriend.
Morgans was a clean modern pub/ hotel No heating on first night. The prices charged were not the same as shown on the internet - ie Breakfast was more expensive than advertised. Traffice noise was bad
Fantastic hotel, comfy bed, good bathroom, clean and modern, great service and lovely breakfast! Full length mirror really needed in the room and thicker curtains to block out the light!
Room was well equiped, comfortable and every thing worked. Breakfast was very good and price about average for what we got. We would do it again. Noise from the street every night, people and traffic. Lack of on site parking is very difficult.
Friendly staff and the room was modern and well fitted out. Bathroom had good facilities. Breakfast good in a pleasant surrounding. Room very small and cramped. But OK for a 1 night stay or for just a single person use. Would not want to spend longer.
Attentive but not intrusive staff and excellent evening meal. Nothing
The hotel has lots of character, in lovely surroundings and the staff were good as they paid attention to detail and we felt welcome. n/a
General atmosphere of a proper hotel The crackling accopanying the excellent pork dinner was to say the least a dissapointment
The room was perfect for our wedding night,the views we beautiful from our bedroom window,the staff were very good,would stay again.
Beautiful restaurant, lovely setting. Whilst reminders about responsible drinking are relevant for weddings, the note in the bedroom painted a mental picture which detracted from our experience.
A picturesque country hotel with excellent staff and great food, just a short car journey from all the shops you could want
Very comfortable, excellent staff and food, just an overall very pleasent stay. Hope to stay again soon. Thank You. No dislikes.
the gardens and the view executive bedroom much too small for two people
staff, cleanliness, comfort of rooms not applicable
Travelled to see relatives It would have been better if the tea cups in the where replaced after afternoon tea, which is what we expected
We thought the bedroom was lovely (stayed in the 4 poster) and it had lots of character. Bed was extremely comfortable.The breakfast was also extremely good and staff friendly. The sink did not drain properly and unfortunately, despite the lovely bed, we had a terrible night's sleep due to lots of loud and drunken people in Shrewsbury making their way home on a Saturday night, right in to the early hours. This is why we have rated the value for money particularly low as we paid quite a lot of money for what turned out to be a terrible night's sleep. Even with the window closed you could still hear the noise and police sirens wailing past! I would therefore recommend the hotel but not the room.
very pleasent staff made very welcome beautifull 4 poster bed very comfy lovelly room nothing
The fact it had retained its character- in keeping with the town and its history Nothing really
central location
Central location, friendly staff, excellent food, a lovely garden patio at rear away from the noise. A very old building fronting onto a busy street and no double glazing. Very noisy at night. Parking 1/4 mile distant.
Easy walk to town centre No car parking although staff did direct us to an NCP carpark a few minutes walk away.
Charming Staff, Beautiful Building, Nice Room and Decor
The food was first rate and so we did not need to eat anywhere else. The staff could not do enough for us. We will certainly be going back again. There was a certain amount of road noise during the night, but this should be improved when the new glazing is installed, during December.
staff made you feel like a friend no
The breakfast was fantastic... if the orange juice had been freshly squeezed, it would have been perfect!

Vocab list
Blank sheet of paper
Objective: Use reading and comprehension strategies to understand the story Desiree's Baby. Make connections to current Americana and fed-up themes.
1. Quick Journal: Have you ever experienced or witnessed racism?

3. Look for answers to these questions (bring up doc on Smartboard)
1. What is the meaning of the phrase "He was reminded that she was nameless" in the context in which it appears? (bottom page 1)
2. Where had Madame Valmonde found Desiree for the first time when she was a baby?

8. Have students read Kate Chopin's bio info in textbook, pg. 590—does this info help understand the story? –also read her info at website
a. Time period
b. Setting
Questions (shown above) will be used to assess the students. Also, class discussion and small group discuss will serve as an informal assessment.
Many of the documents and speeches the class is studying directly relate to racism, as does this story, along with the "fed-up" and Americana themes.
Accommodations for diverse learners
I was excited to teach this story because there are many French terms that are similar to Spanish, so the many Spanish-speakers in this class will hopefully pick up on those terms. I also plan to point out that sometimes English has similar words to Spanish, such as protagonist (protagonista) and thus a student can try to think of a Spanish word that sounds similar if he is unfamiliar with the English word.

Yes, and while it may or may not be easy to do, it will never be an option
to ignore the robots.txt file. (And it will never be an option to ignore
robots META tags either.)

True, though other search engines usually also ignore certain patterns
(e.g. cgi-bin). I also heavily use the META robots tag, though these are
not as old a standard and sometimes are still ignored.

AUDIO: State Police Interview At Issue
Richmond, VA (1140wrva.com) – Former Governor Bob McDonnell's Chief of Staff Martin Kent has testified that the former First Couple felt the First Lady had been questioned under false pretense in February 2013. Kent says the Governor was "visibly angry" after the interview.
Kent says State Police had emailed him mentioning they need to wrap up things in the Chef Todd Schneider case. Mrs. McDonnell has been quoted as saying she felt "set up" after the meeting.
Kent also said, on cross examination, that the Governor never pressured his employees to do anything. He also pointed out Jonnie Williams has never received a state contract or board position.

The most misused word in the health care debate is "reform." If you listen to President Obama, his reform will satisfy almost everyone. It will insure the uninsured, control runaway health spending, subdue future budget deficits, preserve choice for patients and improve quality of care. These claims are self-serving exaggerations. They have destroyed what should be a serious national discussion of health care, says columnist Robert Samuelson.
The health care conundrum involves a contradiction that the administration steadfastly obscures: in the short run, government cannot both insure the uninsured and rein in health spending. Here's why:
- The notion that the uninsured get little or no care is a myth: they now receive about 50 to 70 percent of the health care of the insured.
- If they become insured, their health spending would rise toward 100 percent, increasing both government and private health costs.
Congressional proposals reflect this reality, continues Samuelson:
- The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) judges that the legislation in the House would, through expanded Medicaid and subsidies for private insurance, cut the uninsured to 17 million in 2019, from 46 million in 2007.
- But the cost would be $1 trillion over the decade; of that, $239 billion would add to the budget deficit.
- Worse, the costs would rise faster than the sources of financing, including a tax on the wealthy; in 2019, the deficit would be $65 billion.
- Assuming that deficit rises four percent a year, the cumulative shortfall in the second decade would total $800 billion.
Judged objectively, reform may do exactly the opposite of what Obama says. It would bloat spending, not restrain it. But because the president is so well spoken, he has the ability to make misleading statements sound reasonable or sophisticated, says Samuelson.

Who had the best freshman season?
Carmelo Anthony

Mike Bibby

Michael Jordan
Williams to meet with ex-boss Dean Smith
brings more breathtaking memories
Dan Miller matched a career high with 23 points as Notre Dame moved into the round of 16 with a 68-60 win over Illinois on Saturday in the West Regional.
"We were running and firing and I did not want to stop us because we were going for it," said Brey, who celebrated his 44th birthday with a big win.
Notre Dame will travel to Anaheim, Calif., to play the winner of the Arizona-Gonzaga game.
Chris Thomas added 17 points for the fifth-seeded Irish, who had not advanced this far in the NCAAs since 1987 under coach Digger Phelps. That year, they were eliminated in the regional semifinals by North Carolina.
"This is huge for our program," Brey said. "In the summer we talked about playing on the second weekend. I'm happy this group set a goal and achieved it."
It was a disappointing second-round exit for fourth-seeded Illinois (25-7), the Big Ten tournament champions. Conference player of the year Brian Cook had 19 points and 16 rebounds. (Related item: Game report)
The Fighting Illini trailed by 13 at halftime but cut it to six with 1:45 left after Deron Williams' tip in. They didn't score another basket.
Williams went end-to-end after a steal but missed the layup, and Chris Quinn's two free throws with 27 seconds left sealed the victory.
The Irish (24-9) lost in the second round the last two years — without Miller.
He shot 5-of-7 from long range as Notre Dame set a school tournament record with 13 three-pointers. The Irish were 13-for-24 from beyond the arc, topping their previous tournament high of 10 set last year against Charlotte.
"When the big guys played off me, I shot it. When they came up on me, I tried to drive by them," Miller said. "When I got that stretch going, they were playing off me so I just pulled the trigger on them."
Miller spent his first three years at Maryland and was a key reserve when the Terrapins reached the Final Four in 2001. But he had started all 34 games as a sophomore and didn't like his new role on the bench.
So Miller transferred to Notre Dame and sat out a year. He spent his hiatus taking part in personal workouts and adding some bulk to his 6-foot-8 frame.
Now, it's all paying off.
"Coach has been telling me to step up when it's necessary and take control because I have a lot of game experience and I've been far in the tournament," Miller said. "Today was one of those situations where I had a big chance to step up and I did."
The Irish came out shooting three-pointers on almost every possession. Their first three field goals were 3s and they started 6-for-11 from long range. Miller sank his first five 3s, and the Irish went 11-for-16 in the half. Thomas and Matt Carroll each hit three from beyond the arc.
Carroll, playing on a sprained left ankle, scored 11 points. Torin Francis grabbed 14 rebounds for Notre Dame.
"The way they came out and played in the first half, no one would have been able to beat them," Illinois coach Bill Self said. "We got a lot of looks. They just didn't fall today."
Illinois never led and had trouble getting into its offense early. Cook missed five of his first six shots, and the Illini shot only 38%.
"I took the same shots that I have all year," Cook said. "Usually they go in, but today they didn't."
Dee Brown added 14 points for Illinois.
Notre Dame built a 47-34 lead, but struggled to start the second half. The Irish missed seven of eight shots, allowing Illinois to pull within eight.
Thomas and Miller combined for eight straight points midway through the half to push the lead back to 14.
