48 Hours In: Cusco
Deep in the Inca heartland in Peru, the beauty and architecture of this high-altitude city make it more than just a base camp for trails to Machu Picchu, writes Marian Amos
Why go now?
July is peak season for hikers on the Inca Trail, for which the 'gringo capital of South America' acts as base camp.
Touch down
The only international flights to Cusco leave from La Paz in Bolivia, so most travellers fly in from the Peruvian capital, Lima. This one-hour flight has a spectacular approach to the airport, which is hemmed in by mountains and the spreading city. Alternatively, the bus from Lima takes about 20 hours.
From the airport, a taxi to the centre should cost around five soles, equivalent to €1.10, but don't be surprised if you get asked for much more.
Catch your breath
As one of the highest cities in the world, Cusco takes some getting used to -- especially if you arrive direct from Lima at sea level. Initially, take things easy. It is said that Cusco is designed in the shape of a puma, regarded by the Incas as sacred. The head is high up on the hill to the north of the city centre, which is punctuated by a statue of Christ (1) and is the location for the ruins of Sacsayhuamán. The heart, though, is around the Plaza de Armas (2).
The tourist office (3) on the ground floor of the Galerías Turísticas at Avenida El Sol 103 (0051 8423 4498; www.peru.info) is well worth visiting. It has helpful English-speaking staff and is in the same complex as a bureau selling the Boleto Turístico (tourist ticket), which is the key to many of the important sites in Cusco and the Sacred Valley beyond. The Boleto costs S/70 (€15) and is valid for 10 days.
Check in
Casa San Blas (4) is a beautiful, three-star boutique hotel at Calle Tocuyeros 566 (0051 8423 7900; www.casasanblas.com). A standard double costs €60.
Hostal El Balcón (5), at Tambo de Montero 222 (0051 8423 6738; www.balconcusco.com), is a rambling colonial building with views across the city and free Wi-Fi. Doubles start from S/185 (€39.50), including airport transfers and a hearty breakfast served from 4am for those setting off on the early trains to Machu Picchu.
Budget accommodation is plentiful, with a hostel on every block. One of the more appealing is the Pirwa Hostel B&B (6) at Suecia Street 300, 10 metres from the main square (0051 8424 4315; www.pirwahostelscusco.com), where a twin room costs S/60 (€12.85) including breakfast. For S/76 (€16.26) you can have an en suite.
Take a view
Stand in the middle of the Plaza de Armas (2) and 'do a 360' to appreciate fully the way that the Spanish imposed colonial architecture on the Inca heartland, often using the very stones of the civilisation that they had vanquished.
Take a hike
Set off east from Plaza de Armas (2) along Triunfo to Hatunrumiyoc, the cobbled street named after its 12-sided stone (7), which is a fine example of Incan polygonal masonry skilfully engineered into the wall. Pause just past the Archbishop's Palace to admire its angles. From Hatunrumiyoc, take the first right down another pedestrian alleyway, Inca Roca. About halfway down on the right-hand side is a series of stones said to form the shape of a pumal. It takes a few minutes to squint and focus.
Continue walking north-east to the pretty, peaceful Plazoleta de San Blas (8), home to the church of the same name -- Cusco's oldest church. Turn left into Tandapata, then right to climb the 99 steps of Calle Pasñana, which is lined with tiny, brightly-painted colonial houses. At the top, pause at the Mirador de San Blas (9), to take in the splendid view.
Head left across the top of San Blas along Kiskapata, lined with pre-Inca stone walls. Take a left into Calle Siete Diablitos ('Seven Devils Street') to Calle Siete Culebras ('Seven Snakes Street'), the narrowest street in Cusco, adorned with seven snake carvings as you descend to the city centre.
Lunch on the run
Find a space at the food stalls in the frenzied Mercado Central (10), adjacent to San Pedro station (11). Cheap and tasty dishes are cooked before you. Feast on ceviche (marinated raw fish) for S/4 (€0.85).
Cultural afternoon
The Inca Museum (12), at the eastern corner of the Plaza de Armas, occupies a mansion ranged around a beautiful courtyard, and has a tasteful modern section. Exhibits explain the startling extent of the Inca empire. Open 8am-7pm daily (except Sundays, 9am-4pm), admission S/10 (€2.14).
Window shopping
Cusco is the handicraft and hand- woven textile centre of Peru, so you're never more than 20 paces from a shop offering alpaca clothing to dress you from head to toe. Alpaca's Best (13) at Plazoleta Nazarenas 197-199 (0051 8424 5331) is as good as any.
An aperitif
Cusco is packed full of bars, many serving the excellent Cusqueña beer. For something more sophisticated, head for Song The (14) at Calle Pumacurco 408 (0051 8423 2522). Besides tea, you can order a cocktail to sip beside the huge open fire.
Dining with the locals
Duck into Ccoyllor Restaurant (15) at Calle Garcilaso 291 (0051 8422 9257) to dine on an ensalada de palta (avocado salad) for S/5 (€1.07), followed by lomo de alpaca a la plancha (alpaca steak) for S/12 (€2.57). This informal restaurant may be sparse, but is full of locals of all ages.
Sunday morning: go to church
The ornate Iglesia de la Compañia de Jesús (16) sits on the south-east side of Plaza de Armas and was begun by Jesuits in 1571. The intricate Baroque façade, gilded altars and finely- carved balconies took nearly 100 years to complete, partly because of reconstruction needed after the earthquake of 1650. Open 9am-11.30pm and 1pm-5.30pm daily, S/10 (€2.14)
Out to brunch
Climb the wooden stairs to Cafe Restaurant Yanapay (17), at Calle Ruinas 415 (0051 8425 5134), for brunch. All profits fund social projects such as the Aldea Yanapay School, so you can feel fulfilled by the wholesome dishes. Relax on giant floor cushions under foam clouds for their combo at S/18 (€3.85): a feast of breads, egg, ham, cheese, pancakes with mixed fruits, papaya juice, tea or coffee. It opens 9am-1am daily.
Take a ride
For a majestic view of the city, take a cab to Sacsayhuamán, the Inca ceremonial complex on the hill that overlooks Cusco. The sheer scale is awesome -- and so is the workmanship of the masonry. Admission is covered by the Boleto; the site opens 7am-6pm daily. Return to the city down a steep little Inca Trail -- whose cobbles are at least five centuries old -- which provides a grand entrance to the heart of Cusco.
A walk in the park
South-east of the Plaza de Armas on Avenida El Sol is a park that you can wander under: what appears to be a grassy open space turns out to be the roof of the Museo Arqueológico Coricancha (18). This explores the cultures other than the Incas that have walked these paths. The biggest surprise, though, is when you follow the exit signs and find yourself in the middle of a park beside a busy main road. Open 9.30am-6pm daily, S/20 (€1).
Icing on the cake
For a trekked-out, altitude-affected body there is no better cure than a deep tissue massage at Andina Spa (19) at Tullumayu 112 (0051 8425 2550). A one-hour full-body massage costs S/60 (€12.84).

A lot of people say that Yata mirror isn't invincible because nothing is invincible. Well, we already have 3 characters that can become completely invincible against any attack: Obito, Minato, and Danzo. If even a guy like Danzo can survive any TBB, wouldn't it be a shame that the man who ended the Uchiha clan has no such feat?
it's not logically impossible that Yata is invincible. It could work in a similar way to Obito's intagebility. Yata probably forms a barrier in reality. For example, if itachi encases himself in Yata completely, he essentially exists in a pocket dimension just like obito when he becomes intangible from kamui. The difference is that for Yata, the dimension is much more superimposed with the surrounding environment. In Obito's case, he is somewhat superimposed with the environment since, 1) he is still visible, 2) there has to be a way to connect the bloodflow, brain signals etc to his body parts on earth.
This fits with my other theory: MS users generally have a feat that makes them somewhat invincible. Obito can survive any attack via Kamui/Izanagi; Kakashi can one shot anyone with Kamui; Shisui can one shot anyone with Koto; Amaterasu users can almost one shot anybody etc.
So would it be so surprising that Yata provides an invincible defense? It would not be completely op. It would work like Obito's intangibility; complete invincibility for a few minutes, then ended by exhausting too much chakra.

Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is willing to sign a long-term contract for the Australian Grand Prix to be staged at Melbourne dispelling the notion that the event could be held at another venue Down Under.
Melbourne' deal to host the Grand Prix runs out in 2015, with other Australian cities having expressed their interest to run the event. Adelaide used to hold the Australian GP earlier.
"Everybody loves Australia, loves Australian people and it's good to be there because it's the first race, it's nice, it's relaxed," Ecclestone said. "We hope we're going to be in Melbourne forever, although I understand we do get a little bit of criticism and I don't know why.
"I'd be happy to sign a 50-year contract. So we don't have a problem with Melbourne," he added.
Local critics of the Grand Prix have reasoned that the event is not viable for the state citing the costs involved to host the race has been too much for its coffers.

By ANN WHITCHER
The Darwin D. Martin House hugs the landscape with its long horizontal lines, striking flow of rooms, and open spaces. Inside there are echoes of a golden, glorious past.
Now this important work of Frank Lloyd Wright's early prairie period-which the university acquired in 1966-stands ready for a major renovation, one that could result in a more intensive level of architectural tourism for the region. The project is expected to cost $12 million dollars and is a joint undertaking of the university, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and the Martin House Restoration Corporation (MHRC).
In time, officials hope to restore the interior beauty of the Martin House with its gilding and golden carpets, and where possible, to locate and purchase the missing, one-of-a-kind Wright furniture and art glass windows. In particular, they hope to replace the missing Tree of Life windows, the signature window for the Martin House and easily the most recognized and reproduced of all Wright's art glass designs, according to Jack Quinan, Martin House curator and UB professor of art history.
They'd also like to refashion such points of beauty as the original glass mosaic main fireplace with its intricate wisteria pattern. The overall idea, says MHRC executive director Mark R. Hursty, is to achieve "museum-like" quality such as that of the restoration of the living room of Wright's Francis W. Little House at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This means restoring the house to a definite period, in this case the time of the Martins' residency.
Phase I of the project, which began this summer, will concentrate on repair and restoration of the exterior, according to Bruno B. Freschi, dean of the UB School of Architecture and Planning, who led the drive to discover new forms of ownership and support for the house.
The long-term goal, Freschi said, is to restore the entire complex of Wright buildings at the Jewett Parkway and Summit Avenue site in Buffalo, thus "ensuring the integrity of the full project." The hope is to completely restore the site by 2004, the 100th anniversary of the Martin House's construction, adds Hursty.
The complete restoration would reconstruct the original conservatory and 180-foot pergola, while taking advantage of the MHRC's recent acquisition of Wright's Barton House, part of the original complex.
Theodore Lownie, UB instructor of architecture and principal of Hamilton Houston Lownie Architects P.C., is architect of record for the restoration project. Phase I, he said, will involve repair of the roof structure and replacement of the existing asphalt roof surface with clay tiles designed and manufactured to Wright's original specifications. Lownie's firm recently restored the historic Roycroft Inn in East Aurora, New York.
A 1990 report by Hasbrouck Peterson Associates-a Chicago firm that has restored other Wright houses-is the basis for the Martin House restoration plan. The restored house will operate as a house museum in the state historic sites system.

Throughout the shooting of To Russia With Love, Gonick and Vlad communicated through, of all things, the gay hookup app Grindr.
I ask Vlad what his worst memory was about his time in Russia, and his answers are haunting.
So far Vlad has insulted my body twice in the span of a half hour.
Vlad Burlutskiy is a civic and political activist from Russia who fled the country last year due to increasing threats.
John and Vlad know each other well, having both appeared in a New York Times article on the caveman movement.
Vlad, who did not give his last name, is an extremely charismatic, broad-faced Russian man who speaks precisely.
Next door in Romania, a historical figure nicknamed Vlad the Impaler inspired the first mainstream depiction of a vampire.
Vlad, described as "an honest to god straight boy," struggles with his OCD.
Vlad tells how he had a date over to his apartment, but she left because she thought the bathroom was too dirty.
"Vlad was just one of the little wild dogs of Sochi," Gonick says.


text: URMC / Psychiatry / Community Outreach / Project ROSE Realizing Opportunities for Self-Empowerment (ROSE) SAFETY ALERT: If you feel you are in a dangerous relationship, consider using a safer computer or call a local hotline or the U.S. National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. There is always a computer trail; however, you can exit quickly. Many women face a complex array of social and economic adversities that contribute to physical and mental health burdens. These adversities can range from lack of transportation and childcare, to food insecurity, to violent victimization. Health care providers must consider the full context of women's lives as they develop plans to help improve their health, but learning what patients need most and pooling resources to help meet those needs can be difficult. This page is a small step toward beginning this task – a resource for patients (and their family members and friends) and providers who are interested in improving the health and quality of life of women in the Rochester area and beyond. In an effort to promote this mission, we are conducting a clinical trial to determine how to best provide individualized assistance with social and economic adversities in a healthcare setting. We'd like to share some information about this project on this forum. Project ROSE is focused on helping women who are experiencing adversities strive for improved health and quality of life. A vital part of this process is identifying the social factors that complicate each woman's ability to address their healthcare needs. Project investigators and staff are seeking the best ways to engage patients from a large OB/GYN clinic in the development and implementation of individualized care plans that address their greatest concerns and priorities. These primary concerns may involve financial instability, interpersonal violence, and other psychosocial adversities, which are particularly prevalent among women of childbearing age. Though not necessarily biomedical in nature, addressing these hardships is essential to not only improving the health and quality of life for study participants, but also the children in their care. The Project ROSE research team is assessing and comparing two different interventions that reach beyond "care as usual" to better understand patient-centered care provision for women at URMC's Women's Health Practice (WHP). Enhanced Screening and Referral (ESR): participants who are randomized into this intervention receive a print out of their Promote-W comprehensive health screening results, and for each concern that they endorse on the survey, they receive a relevant referral for assistance. Survey results and referral lists are immediately available to patients to share with their provider and/or use at their own discretion. Personalized Support for Progress (PSP) takes ESR a bit further, adding a prioritization task to help women identify the issues from the screen that matter to them most, and assistance from a patient navigator for 4 months to initiate steps to address their greatest needs. Our Study Plan and Phases - Project ROSE has a 3-year timeline, and is currently in its 2nd year! Year 1: Study tools are developed and approved; research staff is hired and trained; patient recruitment and enrollment begins; project feedback is obtained from community and national advisory boards. Year 2: Patient recruitment and enrollment continues to completion; some enrolled patients finish all follow-up assessments; project website is launched; community and national advisory boards review progress. Year 3: Patients finish all follow-up assessments; focus groups are conducted; data is prepared and analyzed; community and national advisory boards verify the findings; findings are disseminated via conferences and manuscript development.

Pyramides de Sorbet
To make your cake truly stand out in a crowd, infuse the flavor, design, or both with a little (or a lot of) fruit. There are so many tastes and colors to choose from, and wedding guests will definitely be saying "thank you."
This most spectacular of ice-cream cakes would necessarily make a sudden and dramatic appearance just before being disassembled and served. Each of the realistic fruits, which cover an edible nougatine cone, is molded from refreshing sorbet.
Meyer Lemon Wedding Cake
This confection is composed of layers of Meyer lemon-flavored cake, lemon curd, and coconut Swiss-meringue buttercream. Curls of fresh coconut and candied lemon peel form the ruffled flounces on the tiers.
Wedding Cake with Apples
Apples have been a symbol of love, fertility, and abundance since ancient Greek times, when the goddess Gaia gave her granddaughter a golden apple tree as a gift at her wedding to Zeus. Golden lady apples, painted with edible gold luster dust, are the focal point of this tower by Betsy Thorleifson of Nine Cakes in Brooklyn, New York. The vanilla-bean spiced apple cake -- filled with caramel buttercream -- is drizzled with luscious caramel.
The Charlotte Wedding Cake
In the charlotte, featherlight ladyfingers surround a filling of raspberry mousse, raspberries, and fraises des bois, or wild strawberries, on soft almond biscuits. More berries and a drizzle of raspberry preserve crown the tiers. Fauchon's signature ribbon is wrapped around each tier, but a ribbon with the bride and groom's names would be a fitting substitute. Like all the best French pastries, the charlotte is at once light and rich.
Chocolate Kumquat Wedding Cake
Consider this cake for a wintertime wedding, when the tiny citrus fruit is in season. Tart kumquats are candied and served on the side. Their syrup is brushed on the oval tiers of chocolate cake, which are covered in whipped ganache, then surrounded by bands of tempered bittersweet chocolate. The bands are adorned with flowers cut from kumquat skins and with leaves and flourishes piped in dark and white chocolate.
French Orange Pound Cake
In a cheerful tower of a cake, five deep hexagonal layers are iced with buttercream; the tiers are piped with a star tip in opposite directions for a patchwork effect. The initials are made of air-dried meringue. Extra meringue letters were made, so each delicious slice of French orange pound cake with Grand Marnier buttercream frosting could be served with its own R.
Italian Wedding Cake
A Tuscan-style cake with Swiss meringue buttercream is garnished with champagne grapes and Seckel pears. A cake stand of stoneware is supported by dowels inside the bottom tier. The display includes fall foliage, plums, and walnuts; the cake is served with Italian nougat candies.
Fruit Wedding Cake
This square buttercream wedding cake is adorned with apples, peaches, pears, plums, and currants to soften its edges and give it a charming appeal.
Lemon Wedding Cake
Royal-icing latticework gives this grand cake a summery feel, but the year-round appeal of citrus fruit makes it right for any season. The lemons are actually tinted white chocolate, the blossoms gum paste, and the leaves are white fondant.
Strawberry Shortcake Wedding Cake
These cakes are sure to recall the joys of summer. Fresh strawberries top stacked pound cakes instead of the traditional biscuits; mascarpone cream is sandwiched between the layers. For an easy-to-slice texture, almond paste and cornmeal were mixed into the batter. Platters piped with royal icing in a basket-weave pattern lend a country feel; they sit on ribbon-wrapped columns that elevate the dessert from its rustic origins and allude to the shape of a conventional tiered wedding cake.
Strawberry and Floral Wedding Cake
Whimsical and sweet, like strawberries themselves, this cake -- with its gum-paste fruits and flowers atop whitewashed fondant -- is a not-too-classic Bavarian style. A basket filled with tiny strawberries tops off the countryside-chic creation.
Basket of Berries Wedding Cake
Early summer is the best time to choose a cake like this one -- brimming with a fresh and varied assortment of the season's best berries. Red currants, raspberries, gooseberries, blueberries, and strawberries look beautiful jumbled together on basket-weave tiers. The basket-weave effect was created using an oversize leaf tip. The cake's three tiers are supported by wooden dowels; the berries are arranged before the dowels are inserted, which helps hide the supports.
Lemon Wedding Cake
Just try to resist this delightful cake enhanced by a zesty lemon curd filling. Natural and yellow buttercream were piped from the same bag to create the ombre latticework. A topper of silk flowers and millinery lemons makes this perfect for a casual garden wedding.
Cherry-Almond Wedding Cake
Cherries and almonds are close botanical relatives, and they're famously compatible in desserts. Here, they meld lusciously in a three-tier cake cloaked in marzipan (a sweet almond paste) and scattered with marzipan cherries. Sour-cherry jam and buttercream top layers made with ground almonds.
Tropical Wedding Cake
A creation that is tropical through and through. The yellow-cake layers are brushed with rum syrup and filled with passion-fruit curd and rum-and-vanilla-bean buttercream. The top of each tier is spread with more passion-fruit curd. Hibiscus flowers, lychees, coconut, mini pineapple and bananas, and tamarillo crown the cake. Pressing a straw mat into the ivory fondant produces the textured appearance. Serve with a slice of fruit such as star fruit, and coconut sorbet.
Asian Wedding Cake
Designs from Asian ceramics inspired the gum-paste pomegranates and persimmons that adorn a fondant-covered cake.
Pear Wedding Cake
An octagonal fondant-covered cake has mini marzipan pears with vanilla-bean stems.
Lemon Icebox Wedding Cake
To construct our irresistible lemon icebox cake, with its layers of scalloped lemon cookies and honey mascarpone cream, we simply built from the bottom up. Top with candied lemon slices for a tangy-sweet cookie cake that will appeal to fickle kids and grown-up foodies alike. (We made the cookies from scratch, but store-bought ones work just as well; try Moravian Meyer lemon cookies, Salem Baking Co.)

This message originated from http://www.balidiscovery.com/ Find it online at http://www.balidiscovery.com/messages/message.asp?Id=10002 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(11/10/2013) After being blockaded for almost three days, the major road connecting Bali's former northern capital of Singaraja and the western port of Gilimanuk was re-opened to traffic early on Saturday morning, November 9, 2013.
The road, blocked by villagers from Sumberkelampok seeking permanent title to their squatter land, was reopened after Bali Chief of Police Inspector General Albertus Julius Benny Mokalu came to the location of the protest and met with villagers.
Mokalu arrived at Sumberkelampok on Friday, November 11, 2013 arriving at 10:30 pm. He was accompanied by the Deputy Chief of Police for Bali, General Dewa Putu Anom the Head of Police Operations in Bali Commissioner Alit Widana, and the head of the Buleleng police precinct Benny Arjanto.
Arriving in the middle of the night, Bali's top cop met with the protestors from Sumberkelampok. Mokalu listened to local citizens' demands to obtain formal ownership of their squatter-land that been their adress for decades.
He also heard protestors' demands that Governor Pastika come to their village and explain why a promised recommendation to obtain land title on thier state-owned land has not been issued.
Chief Mokalu told the protestors that he would facilitate their desires and bring their aspirations to the Governor.
During that meeting, Mokalu called on the people to re-open the road and end their disruption of public activities.
At 2:00 am the citizens meeting with the Police Chief announced they would re-open the road. A short time later, assisted by police, 40 separate roadblocks were removed from the road and tents set up on the road were dismantled.
Heavy construction equipment form the Department of Public Works were also deployed to remove fallen trees and lime stone boulders placed by the protestors on the road.
Shortly before sunrise traffic began moving again on the road.
The Bali Post reports that policemen helping to clear the road sang songs to the villagers, while the Chief of Police gave supplies to children and materials to help repair a local hall.
Chief Mokalu thanked the people of Sumberkelampok for taking the initiative to reopen the road.
A village spokesman refused the offer to meet with the Governor in Denpasar, insisting that Pastika must travel to Sumberkelampok to meet with the squatters.
Separately, as reported by DenPost, the Governor said he acknowledged the desire of the people to have title on the land, but any such transfer of ownership would require the recommendation of the Bali Provincial House of Representatives (DPRD). In order for the land ownership to be assigned to the people of Sumberkelampok, an appeal needs to be made to the DPRD.
To this end, Governor Pastika said he would try to convene a meeting on between the DPRD-Bali, DPRD-Buleleng and the Regent of Buleleng as soon as possible.

Here are some of the stories we cover in today's edition: Election day is now just a little more than two weeks away, and both President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are expected to spend most of the weekend in debate prep. The two candidates are still working to win over every last undecided voter. CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser says there aren't many left: "If they haven't decided yet maybe the final debate could change their minds or persuade them to change their minds. Maybe it'll be a campaign event or a commercial they see in the last couple days. It's hard to tell with these remaining voters when it comes to what's going to make their choice." EU leaders meeting in Brussels believe they've taken a major step forward in the fight to end the euro zone crisis. They agreed to set up a single watchdog to keep an eye on all 6,000 banks in the euro currency area. European Council President Herman Van Rompuy says the decision is necessary to break the vicious cycle between banks and sovereign nations: "The urgent element now is setting up a single supervisory mechanism to prevent banking risks and cross-border contagions from emerging. And that's why the European Council called... for swift progress ." Many paintings by old masters and other treasures from around the world are tied to the black market. Even those in reputable museums. That's because the trade of illegal antiquities is big business: "The illicit trade in art and antiquities is in excess of $9 billion a year... It's the fourth largest means of promoting illicit proceeds after narcotics trafficking, after weapons trafficking, and after human trafficking, " says Craig Karch, Special Agent and Program Manager with the Department of Homeland Security.

Note: Please welcome our new columnist Kumiko Mitarai of the blog Recipe, interrupted. Every week she'll put together a slideshow demo on a technique that seems easy-peasy but is hardly ever explained. Each step-by-step lesson will feature a corresponding recipe so you can put that technique into practice. Show us how it's done, Kumiko! —The Mgmt.
Use This Technique
Since I was a kid baking cookies, this recipe instruction would always stump me: "Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy."
I did my best with our family's old hand mixer but always wondered, do they really mean light and fluffy? How could a stick of butter and some sugar ever be anything but thick and heavy?
But skip ahead a few years to culinary school, where I was coached through the technique and finally got it. The butter and sugar will never transform into cotton candy, but if the butter starts at room temperature and is beaten long enough (which can take several minutes with a hand mixer), tiny pockets of air will form and help give the cookies or cake a little extra lift.

The local sharemarket has fallen more than half a per cent on Wednesday morning after falls on Wall Street and the absence of an expected company tax reduction in the federal budget overnight.
At 11.05am AEST on Wednesday, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index was down 35.8 points, or 0.83 per cent, at 4278.5, with most sectors in the red.
RBS Morgans Ipswich manager Tony Russell said to AAP the local market had been affected by falls on Wall Street and uncertainty in Europe as well as the absence of an expected cut in company tax in Tuesday night's federal budget.
"Certainly (there's) no doubt the weakness in Wall Street overnight, following further concerns on what's happening in the political landscape in Greece and France – and whether those actions in those countries will further affect decisions on the funding of sovereign debt, (have impacted the local sharemarket)," he said.
"Locally I think the market was expecting a reduction in the company tax rate in the federal budget, so there's probably a little but of disappointment there."
At 11am oil and gas stocks (down 1.8 per cent) and mining companies (down 1.7 per cent) led the local bourse lower.
Global mining giant and index heavyweight BHP Billiton was 1 per cent weaker at $34.34, peer Rio Tinto dropped 1.4 per cent to $61.37 and iron ore miner Fortescue Mining Group eased 0.4 per cent to $5.33.
The financials sector was 0.7 per cent lower with the four major banks all in negative territory.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia posted the largest losses in morning trade, down 0.8 per cent at $51.65, followed by ANZ Banking Group, which lost 0.6 per cent at $22.97. National Australia Group shed half a per cent to $24.51 and Westpac Banking Corporation fell 0.2 per cent to $22.78.
In equities news today, Downer EDI is scheduled to hold an investor day, while Sigma Pharmaceuticals, Grange Resources and Stonehenge Metals are all due to hold general meetings.
In overseas markets overnight, turmoil in the euro zone and a clutch of disappointing earnings reports sent US markets tumbling.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up almost 200 points at one stage during the session, but a late buying rally reversed the course to minimise the day's loss.
The Dow closed off 76.44 points (0.59 per cent) at 12,932.09, while the broader S&P 500 index fell 5.86 (0.43 per cent) to 1363.72.
European stock markets plummeted and the euro fell against the US dollar, with sentiment dominated by uncertainty in the euro zone after weekend elections in France and Greece.
In London, the FTSE 100 index ended the day with a loss of 1.78 per cent at 5554.55 points, after trading resumed following a long holiday weekend.

SPRINGFIELD — Despite massive and unresolved problems with the state budget, the Illinois House is poised to set a record for meeting the fewest number of days in two decades.
Although lawmakers are still expected to return to action later this month for one or two more days of work, the 45 days lawmakers were in the capital city between Jan. 1 and May 7 mark the fewest since a 50-day spring legislative session in 1998.
The Senate has met for just 41 days this spring but could tie or slightly exceed its previous low set in 2000, when the chamber met for 42 days.
The shortened schedule became an issue May 7 when Democratic leaders sent lawmakers home without a new state budget in place.
Republicans in the Senate voted against adjourning, arguing that the General Assembly should not go home until a spending plan is adopted.
"The Senate Republicans believed it was appropriate to stay here and get the job done," said Patty Schuh, spokeswoman for Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno.
But just because they met fewer times than usual and still haven't adopted a budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 doesn't mean lawmakers weren't busy this spring.
In all, the House and Senate approved 1,447 bills in this General Assembly. That is 300 more pieces of legislation than the average load of the past two decades and nearly double the amount of legislation sent to former Gov. Jim Edgar in a 1993-94 and 1995-96.
The last time lawmakers dumped so much legislation on a governor's desk was in the 1991-92 General Assembly, when 1,528 bills were approved.
"I think in terms of legislation that's unrelated to the budget, I think it's been a pretty good year," said state Rep. Bob Flider, D-Mount Zion.
Not so, said state Sen. Dale Righter, R-Mattoon.
"The bad things greatly outweigh the good things because the most important thing that we do in the General Assembly is decide how we are going to spend the billions of taxpayer dollars," Righter said.
The absence of vigorous debate on the state's budget woes surprised and disappointed some lawmakers.
"Have we discussed the budget one day here?" asked state Rep. Bill Mitchell, R-Forsyth, as the session wound down. "You've been here since January, and the single most important issue facing the state of Illinois, and you haven't discussed it?"
In general, election year sessions typically feature a lighter schedule because the state Constitution calls for lawmakers to meet only for budgetary and emergency action.
For example, in the Senate, last year's non-election year legislative session lasted 68 days, but also included days set aside for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's impeachment proceedings in January and a lengthy overtime session in the summer over the state's budget mess.
The House record for the most days spent in Springfield in the past 20 years is 95, set in 1991 when a budget impasse had members of the House in town through July 19.
At the same time there are concerns about lawmakers not getting their work done, their absence arguably is saving taxpayer dollars.
On each session day, all 177 members receive a $139 expense check. The House and Senate also must bring in doormen and pay mileage to lawmakers. Over the course of an extra 20 days of session, those added expenses could top $500,000.
Some legislators say being home in their districts rather than sitting idle in Springfield is the best option for the time being.
"Everybody is scared to do anything because they are scared they won't get elected," said state Sen. Gary Forby, D-Benton. "We could sit up here all summer long, sit here every day until November and nothing is done."
The House is expected to return to action May 24.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi Toby,
I would first encode the string variable:
*encode varname, generate(newvarname)
then I would use "forvalues"
*sort newvarname
*gen individual = .
*gen newvarname_lag = newvarname[_n-1]
*local number = 1
*replace individual = `number' in 1
*local anzahl = _N
*forvalues i = 2/`anzahl' {
*replace individual = `number' + 1 in `i'
*replace individual = `number' if newvarname== newvarname_lag in `i'
*local number = individual[`i']
*drop newvarname_lag
I am sorry, there is most probably a much more simple way to do it, but
I wrote this when I had to identify individuals over more than one
variable. I hope this helps you.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) -- Sydney Leroux scored in the 78th minute to help the U.S. women's soccer team tie Canada 1-1 on Thursday night, extending the Americans' unbeaten streak against the Canadians to 30 games.
Leroux kicked Canadian Rebecca Quinn's errant crossing header under goalkeeper Erin McLeod in front of 28,255 fans at Investors Group Field, one of six venues for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
''It was great for Canada soccer, it's great for women's soccer and we were excited to play in front of a crowd like this,'' Leroux said. ''It was very physical, and I don't think we played very well in the first half, but I think we came together in the second half and started playing our soccer. At halftime we said, 'We are not going to make it easy for Canada to beat us, ever.' We knew we had a lot of time left.''
Leroux leads the U.S. with six goals this year and has 30 overall for the national team, 20-0-5 against Canada since a loss in the 2001 Algarve Cup. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Leroux has scored in three straight games against Canada.
''When you play Canada, it's 50 percent preparation, organization and structure and 50 percent emotion,'' U.S. interim coach Jill Ellis said.
''I challenged them at halftime and said that we needed to be more of the aggressor and we definitely put some pressure on them. The other thing we talked about was composing ourselves. It was a big crowd, big atmosphere and the adrenaline was pumping and we actually needed to calm ourselves a bit and connect some passes.''
Kadeisha Buchanan scored for Canada in the 35th minute. The 18-year-old Buchanan fought off U.S. forward Abby Wambach and defender Ali Krieger, heading the ball into the ground toward the left side of the frame for her first international goal.
''The future is bright,'' Canadian teammate Desiree Scott said. ''Kadeisha Buchanan, 18 years old, going toe-to-toe with some of the best strikers in the world and she scores a goal tonight. Unbelievable performance.''
Buchanan played physically against Wambach and the other U.S. forwards.
''Defense wins games and we tried,'' said Buchanan, from Toronto. ''That's part of my element.''
Notes: The U.S. is 6-2-2 this year. It has a 47-3-6 overall record against Canada in the series that started in 1986. ... Midfielder Lauren Holiday became the 30th U.S. player to earn 100 career caps. Holiday made her debut in 2007. ... Leroux tied Brandi Chastain for 16th place on the U.S. goals lost. ... The Americans will return to action against France on Saturday, June 14, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

US-based Laureate Education will pay about $15 million for a 20 per cent equity stake in online employment advertising company
The acquisition price for Laureate's stake is based on an implied enterprise valuation of $75 million for the whole of Think. However, the actual amount to be paid will be $15 million less working capital adjustments to be made on settlement of the deal.
Seek last week revealed it was in exclusive discussions with an unnamed global education company over the sale.
Laureate, which is privately owned and manages higher education institutions, will have voting rights and representation on the Think board in line with its equity stake.
Seek said the sale reflected its preferred model of investing in high-quality education businesses alongside strategic partners.
"Across IDP, Swinburne Online and now Think we have successfully implemented a model whereby Seek can leverage its core competencies in business development and sales and marketing alongside a strategic partner who has deep expertise within the relevant field of the education marketplace," Seek group strategy director Michael Ilczynski said in a statement.
"We believe that Laureate's involvement in Think will be mutually beneficial to both parties."
Laureate's Asia-Pacific managing director Michael Mann said Australia's higher education institutions had a strong track record of providing "high-quality and truly international" education.
"We believe Think is very well positioned to meet the emerging needs of many different types of students in Australia and that Think has only just begun to realise its potential," he said.
Think, which owns vocational training and private higher education courses, has proved difficult since Seek paid $80 million for the business over two tranches in 2007 and 2009, prompting many investors to question the viability of the asset.
Think's carrying value has been written down from $120 million to about $95 million.
However, Think turned its fortunes around in the 2012 financial year to report earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $5 million compared to a $7 million earnings loss in 2011. Think's revenue grew 26 per cent to $87 million.

May 14, 2011 02:54 PM|stevex33|LINK
Hi Guys,
I've been using visual studio express to practice my webdevelopment skills, and I'm getting ready to start rolling out some websites.
I've just discovered that some features that i would like to have (such as unit testing and deployment options beyond copy and paste) aren't available, so I'm looking at purchasing a copy of visual studio 2010, not sure which version I need, (Might go for ultimate, but it will likely be premium).
A simple question I have is that I only want visual studio, none of their other software and I don't want tech support etc, but the problem is I can only see options for "new sdn subscription" or renewal.
I don't want a new subscription and I don't have an old subscription to renew.
Do I HAVE to buy an MSDN subscription?
If not, I guess I would select the renew option?
Once I've bought a version of visual studio, is it mine forever and I can use it as often as I want, or is that where the "subscription" part comes in, and I HAVE to pay it annually in order to use the software. (Forgive me, it's not very clear on the microsoft website).
Can I upgrade from professional to premium, or premium to ultimate at any time?
The deployment features that I'm after are basically not putting my code onto the webserver as plain text files, I want them compiled into dlls so no-one can see the code I've written should they end up accessing the backend somehow.
Thinking about it, as an individual developer, what am I actually missing out on that could hinder me by simply going with the professional version?
May 14, 2011 03:50 PM|XIII|LINK
an alternative would be websitespark (http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitespark/), an initiative by Microsoft for startups. I suggest you talk with your local Microsoft representative about what's best for you.
Also to buy: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/buy.
But perhaps you don't need integrated test tools. In the past, and still, NUnit's a popular tool for this.

Thanks for the information.
I think I'm eligeble for webspark, so i could give that a try.
I've heard of NUnit but never tried it, I think I would probably prefer integrated testing.
I still need an answer to my main question though really.
If I purchase a version of visual studio, do I HAVE to buy a subscription to MSDN, and is it an annual fee that I must pay in order to use the software, or is it a one off and I can use it forever after that?
Also, for the deployment feature I mentioned, is that available in the professional version?
May 15, 2011 07:40 AM|XIII|LINK
I personally use the Ultimate edition and according to me license goes as long as you paid for it, meaning with websitespark I think it's 3 years. With MSDN it's a year but as told before, be sure to ask your local Microsoft representative to be sure of this.
Seems the integrated testing suite's in Professional: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/product-comparison.
But I suggest you simply download the trial version, see what's in it to satisfy your needs and then purchase it. Links to trials: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/try.
Grz, Kris.
May 15, 2011 09:30 AM|stevex33|LINK
so according to the microsoft website, are you telling me that you pay £3,489 every year just to use the ultimate edition?
May 15, 2011 10:04 AM|XIII|LINK
there's a lot more in the MSDN subscription than just Visual Studio alone. So that was the reason I was mentioning websitespark, there's also bizzspark, as it seems more to the point to what you're after.
Grz, Kris.

The UA College of Medicine-Phoenix admitted its first class of first-year medical students in August 2007. The College of Medicine-Phoenix has 192 students training to be physicians. The college seeks to promote health and improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease for the people of Arizona and beyond through education, research and patient care.
PHOENIX – Mayor Greg Stanton, just hours after taking the oath of office, expressed his commitment to the development of the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, as well as the entire Phoenix Biomedical Campus, in a visit with students, faculty and staff.
"One thing I have learned in my time in public service is that the future of the city and the future of our higher education institutions in our state are one and the same," Stanton told the audience Jan. 3 outside the auditorium on campus.
"Your success is our success. We cannot achieve what we want to achieve as a city if we don't have great universities that are well supported, not just at the state level but at the local level as well. And we want great graduates coming out of those universities to choose to stay here in Phoenix."
Stanton, who led the development of the downtown Phoenix campus as councilman, took office on Tuesday after winning the election in November to replace Phil Gordon, who served the maximum two terms as mayor of Phoenix.
The campus visit was his first stop as mayor on Tuesday after receptions held immediately following the inauguration ceremonies at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix.
"One of my commitments as mayor is to make sure the city of Phoenix has a stronger partnership with education than ever before," Stanton said. "Instead of asking why we should be involved in education, we should be asking why not."
Stanton said he wants to diversify the city's economy and that the region would benefit from jobs in science, health-care, solar and sustainability industries.
The College of Medicine-Phoenix is in its fifth year of addressing the state's critical shortage of physicians by training more doctors and in 2012 will again expand with the completion of the Health Sciences Education Building and an expanded class size.
"We didn't wait for anyone's permission to bring a university and a medical school to the center of our city," Stanton said during his inauguration speech.
"We didn't. We led the way. And that leadership has produced real, tangible results that will pay long-term dividends for the people of our city."

Stevland Morris .:Dec 31 69:.
I figure with inaugural blog on the newly redesigned site, I'd like to kick things off with something from one of my musical heroes:
What most folks don't know is that Stevie is KILLER on a drum set -- he was a drummer first and foremost -- and played drums on a majority of his albums. I hesitate to say all because I haven't done research, but I know that Songs in the Key of Life are all Stevie doin drums...I have to look into his other stuff but I'm pretty sure it'll be Stevie everywhere. His drum technique was pretty sick too -- check out Superstition's drunk meter...it just oozed funk and expressiveness and all those other crazy descriptors that really don't do it justice. Just listen to it already.

TOP STORY >>Teachers prepare their classrooms
Leader staff writer
The wait is over for Cabot Public Schools as its newest elementary school is ready to welcome students Monday for the start of school.
An open house will be held from 23:30 p.m. Sunday at Stagecoach Elementary School at Campground and Stagecoach roads, to give students and parents a preview of the school and meet teachers.
Faculty received word Aug. 10 that their new $6.6 million school was ready for them to move in and quickly began occupying the building.
I found out about 1 p.m. Friday that we could have the school to get moved in, Principal Pam Waymack said Monday while giving a Leader reporter a tour of the new campus.
She credited the hard work of contractors and school custodians for the timely move.
Theyve done a lot, Waymack said. Some were here at 7 a.m. on Saturday hard at work.
Superintendent Dr. Tony Thurman gave credit to the districts construction, maintenance, custodial and technology crews for making it happen.
This has been another very challenging summer moving Junior High North to the high school campus and getting Stagecoach ready to open, Thurman said.
Cabots crews have also worked on general maintenance at all schools in the district this summer including replacing flooring in areas at Westside Elementary and Northside Elementary.
Our directors do amazing work. L.B. Capps is in charge of maintenance and construction, Bill Holden is in charge of custodial and Kendal Wells is in charge of technology.
These directors do great work and have great crews that work with them to make things happen for our students, teachers and community, Thurman said.
Thurman is no stranger to a ready, but not really ready school building as he opened Cabot High School last August without the building completely finished. He knows all too well what Waymack will have to deal with come Monday.
Starting a new school is much like building a house and moving in for the first time, Thurman said. There will be things that need to be changed, things not working like they should and general maintenance items that need to be checked. It will be a continuous work in progress, he said.
Thurman said they are also working on having the $23,000 of new playground equipment ready as quickly as possible, but have been focused on being ready for instruction on the first day of classes.
The teachers have been very patient and Ms. Waymack has done a great job getting things ready to go, Thurman added.
On Monday, about a dozen of the 30 classrooms were well underway to being transformed into creative educational environments while others still had bare walls.
Theyve (the teachers) really worked hard to have got in on Friday (August 10) and already have so much up on the walls around the school, Waymack said.
The teachers werent the only ones in the 76,395-square-foot building. Painters, electricians and school custodians were also hard at work finishing up loose ends.
Chuck Coleman with Rowe Painting was applying a second coat of paint to a classroom doorframe. Painting began the middle of May with Colemans three-person team himself, his wife Kathy and their son.
According to Cole-man, second coats on doorframes, some exterior painting and finishing up in the offices once all the cabinetry was installed was all they had left to complete.
The 4,851-square-foot air-conditioned gymnasium was acting as a temporary holding area for desks, chairs and cafeteria tables until classrooms were ready for them. The 4,284-square-foot cafeteria, which has a full kitchen, was receiving a final floor waxing.
The 1,976-square-foot media center had its bookshelves lining the walls and reading tables set up around the room, but was waiting for its $70,000 in new books to be placed on the shelves. Computer instructor Pam Gray was decorating her lab room as she waited for her computers to be delivered later in the week. There will be 30 student stations in the lab.
All the classrooms are media-savvy with ceiling-mounted projectors. This new technology replaces the older overhead projectors and the PC to TV converters other schools have, Waymack said.
PC to TV converters enable teachers to show the information on their computer on the classroom television; however, the ceiling projectors are linked directly to the teachers computer and project that image, document or Web site onto the classrooms dry-erase board, cutting out the need for a television in the room.
It can also be used to project an image, like a flashcard or map, onto the dry-erase board using a projector arm with a camera at the end. Stagecoach also has separate classroom areas for music, art, science, speech and gifted and talented. There is also a professional- technology center with computer access for the teachers use.
Many of the Stagecoach teachers were at other schools within Cabot last year; for some, this is their first year to teach or their first year in Cabot. But the general consensus among the teachers on coming to Stagecoach was one of excitement for all Stagecoach offers.
Teachers have walls full of storage space, large classrooms and brand new equipment and desks, not to mention the luxury of a brand new school. First-grade teacher Sarah Taylor came to Stagecoach from Ward Central Elementary where she had taught for the past three years.
Its just new, she said in comparing the two schools; we have more space and more storage here too, she said.
Christy Lyons, a fourth-grade teacher, felt lucky to be at Stagecoach.
It was well worth the wait and I am fortunate to be here, she said. Lyons has spent the last three years as an academic coach at Northside Elementary and is very excited to be back in the classroom. I missed the kids and was ready to get back its what excites me the most, she added.
Science teacher Peggy Self just wished she had her room completed.
I wish I could just blink and it be done, Self said. Excited about being at Stagecoach, she switched gears after teaching eight years at Cabot Middle School North because it was time for a change.
To accommodate the opening of Cabots newest elementary school, the district was rezoned in May to include the following attendance areas for Stagecoach Elementary:
Campground Road and the Pinewood and Autumnwood subdivisions, residents behind The Cabot Patch daycare, South Stagecoach Road up to its intersection with Honeysuckle Lane, CR 302 at Dogwood Lane, Burgess Lane at Hwy. 321, Mt. Tabor Road at Sandhill Road, and stops at the Cabot district boundary, butting up against the Carlisle, Des Arc and Lonoke school districts.

So Tough to Tame
Harlequin HQN / September 24, 2013 / $7.99 print / digital
Charlie Allington is supposed to be on the fast track to the top—a small-town girl who was making it big in her career. Instead, she's reeling from a scandal that's pretty much burned all her bridges. Now, out of options, she needs a place to lick her wounds and figure out her future. True, working at a ski resort in rugged Jackson Hole, Wyoming, isn't her dream job. But if there's one perk to coming back, it's a certain sexy hometown boy who knows how to make a girl feel welcome.
Cowboy Walker Pearce never expected a grown-up Charlie to be temptation in tight jeans. She's smart and successful—way out of league for a man like him. But he's not about to let that, or his secrets, get in the way of their blazing-hot attraction. Yet when passion turns to something more, will the truth—about both of them—send her out of his life for good…or into his arms forever?
Victoria Dahl has rightly earned a reputation for writing steamy love scenes, but with her Jackson Hole series, I have come to appreciate her talent for creating characters dealing with both the absence of a fulfilling personal life and the death of a gratifying career.
And Charlie Allington and Walker Pearce have some serious storms to weather. Charlie torpedoed her own career with her gullibility and single-mindedness:
Because she'd lied a little. She hadn't know her boss was married. He'd kept that a secret, separating his work and personal life with purposeful precision. Not so hard to do when you supervised nearly a hundred people at a giant resort. But she had known when she'd started flirting with her boss that it probably wouldn't hurt for him to like her. When it had gotten more serious, when she'd slept with him . . . it had felt like a triumph in more than one way. So she had lied to Brad. Sleeping with her boss had probably contributed to her promotion and she'd thought there was no harm in that, because all that had mattered was she'd known she could do the job.
And Walker —well, let's just say that he took the easy way out, and wasn't thinking (at least with his brain):
"We never actually . . ." He shook his head. "I swear. It just . . . got out of control. And I don't know if that's why I was fired. No one should've known."
"Your boss's wife? Are you insane?"
He took off his hat then put it back on, shifting from foot to foot like a little kid caught in a lie. "It's not something I thought about. It just happened."
His flushed skin told her everything she needed to know. "Their marriage is dead. He cheats on her. I guess I told myself it wasn't my responsibility."
Both find it difficult to fight rumors and innuendoes and get back on track. Charlie is amazed that even her brother seems to think the worst of her:
"Odd like she's watching me every second. She seems paranoid that I'm going to do something that will ruin her life."
He shrugged again. "Seems logical," he said past a mouthful of beef.
"What the hell? What do you mean it seems logical?"
You helped your last employer embezzle money, right?"
Her jaw dropped. . . She couldn't believe this. Not from her own brother. "Are you kidding me, Brad? Is that what you think? I didn't do anything wrong. I was cleared in pretrial, for God's sake."
"Yeah, I get that. But everyone knows you turned a blind eye."
"I did not! Maybe I trusted the wrong people. Fine. I was an idiot. But I didn't do anything to help them, and I didn't ignore anything!"
Brad rolled his eyes. "Fine, I apologize, but you still can't blame Dawn for keeping a close eye."
"Oh, I can't?"
"You were screwing your married boss, right? And her husband is now your boss. Do you two get along?"
Charlie had been shocked at Dawn's animosity and paranoia, but these casual swipes from her brother nearly knocked her off her chair.
And Walker — well he has some regrets:
"Charlie, I didn't even see her at the ranch last night, much less do anything I shouldn't have. As a matter of fact, I was alone with her a week ago and I stopped it. I told her it was over."
She nodded, but she stared down at her hands. "But a married woman, Walker?"
"I know. I 'm sorry. I' m ashamed of it. Ashamed that people think there's more to it. That's a damn good learning tool. If you don't want people to know it's something you shouldn't be doing in the first place."
Of course Ms. Dahl then shows the reader that though perseverance and determination, a bit of soul searching, and of course the right person—a person who provides encouragement and support—all storms can be weathered.
"God, Charlie. What do you want from me? You were my tutor. You know exactly how dumb I am. No! Wait!" He tried to keep ahold of her thighs, but she slipped off his lap and eased her skirt down.
"You listen to me." Instead of reaching for his zipper, she pointed at his face.
He thought he might weep. "You're a good man. You're smart and sweet and wonderful with people. So don't you take some job in the middle of nowhere if it won't make you happy. Don't do that!"
Now I know that those scenes must have attracted your attention. But in case you need more, there is plenty to savor:
She finally leaned back a little to look up at him. "I want to savor you, Walker. Don't you think you deserve to be savored?"
"I . . . No? or maybe. I don't know what you mean?"
"Come on." She tugged him toward his door. "I've waited a long time for this. I don't want it all over in just a few minutes."
"Hey, that's not how it'll be."
She giggled and grabbed his hat off the floor.
