Occupation: Chief Litigator at the Super Hero Help Desk
Powers: Mastery of Magic, Immortality, Keen Legal Mind
Bio: Diabliana grew up in the big city (in the suburb of Infernal Springs). Like every little girl, she dreamed of growing up, getting married and having a white picket fence. This could never be as her responsibilities as the crown princess of the Kingdom of Hell forced her to follow in her father's footsteps.
Now an established and feared (really feared) litigator Diabliana plies her trade for the Super Hero Help Desk. To this day nobody really knows how she makes those lawsuits disappear.

Name: Bob Fickser

Powers: Invulnerability, Incalcuable Strength, Super Speed
Bio: Jimmy has led the elite Super Hero team, the Revenge Guard, he has defeated Gravsh the giant space lion, survived being struck by a nuclear explosion (at point blank range) and has an uncanny knack for remembering everyone's birthday.
He was forced to retire from field duty because of his severe "allergies".
"Human's are very strange beings…aside from the only three dimensions thing"
Codename: Wanda
Name: "Sentient Energy Cloud 9" (rough translation from native language)
Occupation: Accountant at the Superhero Help Desk
Powers: Flight, Energy Projection, Density Control
Bio: Little is known of the entity known as Wanda. She came to earth as a cloud of energy and adopted a roughly human form and the name 'Wanda'. Nobody is quite sure what to make of her, she seems to be a very intelligent being, yet struggles to grasp the most basic of human concepts.
She claims she just wants to learn our customs…so we tossed her in with the accountants.
White Noise
"I understand the gravity of the situation I'm just categorically indifferent"
Codename: White Noise
Name: Nicholas Daniel Tone
Occupation: HR Manager for the Superhero Help Desk
Powers: Sonic Manipulation
Bio: White Noise began his career as a plucky young sidekick in the early 90s. This particular path never really suited him, and the numerous high-stress situations as well as the Event soon led him to an easy desk job as the Helpdesk's HR manager.
Now equipped with his sonic powers and disinterest, White Noise has ended up in the one job where he can get away with doing absolutely nothing. That's right, he's in middle management.
Dr. Maniacal
"You have insulted me for the last time!"
Codename: Dr. Maniacal
Name: Eugene Phineas Maniacal, PhD
Occupation: Incredible Intellect and Unmatched Fashion Sense
Bio: Doctor Maniacal had it all, an evil wife, superhuman kids; he even had a secret lab in Mount Maniacal (in hindsight, calling the location of his evil lair "Mount Maniacal" may have been a mistake). This all changed when the Super Teens launched a surprise attack on his lab, dealing him his first defeat in his criminal career. Obsession, they say, drove his family away.
Now he works in a call centre.

They have a luscious thick coating of 41% milk and 65% bittersweet chocolate — all dusted with cocoa powder that was just right. Can't wait to try the Hazelnut version next.

There Are 6 Girls in This Photo … but Only 5 Pairs of Legs???
The simplest explanation is that one of the girls has no legs, right? Well if you think that's the answer, surely you haven't spent much time on the internet — we World Wide Web residents will spend hours, days dissecting the latest optical illusion that pops up online. Remember that dress that was either blue-and-black or white-and-gold, depending on who you asked?
In this case, a photo was uploaded to Reddit (the source of much web intrigue) with the headline "Find the middle girl's legs" — and indeed, looking at the pic you might ask that very question. The two girls on the left have two sets of legs beneath them, the same is true of the three girls on the right — or is all of that wrong? Is there a missing pair of legs hiding somewhere in there? Is one girl sticking her legs into the couch cushions?
Multiple sites have already analyzed the photo in depth — and we'll let you explore those at your discretion — but we think it's even more fun to figure it out for yourself. There is an answer to this internet illusion. You just need to look carefully.

Destiny's Child : Bootylicious
Another infectious classic.
Since they've slimmed down to a three-piece, brought God to the forefront and conquered the world, Destiny's Child have lost a little of the edge that made their 'The Writing's On The Wall' album so amazing. They even got booed at a concert in California last week by rap kids waiting for Jay-Z to appear. Happily, despite its silly title, 'Bootylicious' is a return to the taut Destiny's sound of old, being based around a choppy guitar riff lifted from Stevie Nicks' 'Edge Of 17'. You'll hear 'Bootylicious' on the radio every day but that's still no reason why you shouldn't buy it. Another infectious classic.

When life is at its best, the unimaginable can shatter everything you think you know…
Abigail Samuels has no reason to feel anything but joy on the morning her life falls apart. The epitome of the successful Jewish American woman, she is married to a well-known and respected accountant and is in the middle of planning her daughter Kayla's wedding. Kayla, too, wakes up that morning with the world in the palm of her hand. Having lived the charmed life of a well-loved child from a happy family, she is a bright, pretty Harvard law student who has never really questioned the path she found herself on.
With a shocking suddenness, all that is smashed to pieces in ways they could never have dreamed. When a heartbroken Kayla runs away to a desert commune run by a charismatic mystic, Abigail rushes to save her, only to find that there is nothing more whole than a broken heart.
Editorial Reviews
An upper-middle-class Jewish family is thrown into turmoil when a father is accused of abetting terrorism.
Things couldn't be more idyllic for the Samuels clan of Cambridge, Mass. Abigail is exulting in the pleasurable planning of a gala engagement party for daughter Kayla and future son-in-law Seth, two Harvard Law students with bright futures. But why is the caterer giving her the fish-eye? The news has hit the Internet: Suddenly the whole world knows that Abigail's husband, Adam, a prominent CPA, has just been led, in handcuffs, from his Boston office by the FBI. The charge arose from the fact that Adam had steered some high-profile clients, including a former ghetto dweller turned celebrity entrepreneur, toward a hedge fund that, unbeknownst to Adam despite due diligence, financed terrorist operations. Seth, a controlling sort who pressures Kayla into straightening her hair and wearing pinstripes in order to better her chances with law-firm recruiters, insists that she distance herself from her father to avoid tainting her career prospects. Adam's formerly close friends and even his rabbi shun him. On bail, awaiting trial and facing the loss of his hard-won reputation and prosperity, Adam grows increasingly despondent and rebuffs Abigail's efforts to comfort him. Kayla impulsively hops a plane to Israel, and winds up on an archeological dig near the Dead Sea. There, amid a group of free spirits called the Talmidim, she lives off the land and studies with a charismatic guru, Rav Natan. She's drawn to Daniel, an Israeli surgeon whose family was killed by a suicide bomber. Ironically, Daniel, with his contacts in Israeli army intelligence, may be the Samuels family's salvation. Adam, alarmed by Kayla's defection from the mainstream, sends both Abigail and Seth after her. Both will then experience epiphanies of their own.
A page-turner illustrating the horrifying consequences of becoming embroiled in the American legal system, slowed by far too many weighty passages of authorial comment about the sad state of morals today.

1It happened, like all horrible things happen, at the most inconvenient time.
Abigail Samuels awoke as the sun streamed through the leaded glass of her beautiful French patio doors. Her eyes opened slowly, taking in the delicate lace of her curtains and the polished wood of her antique canopy bed. Her husband's gentle kiss lingered on her lips, a faint, sweet memory. It was Tuesday, her day off, and he had tried not to wake her before leaving for work.
I'm so lucky, she thought, humming her most recent download from iTunes—a catchy paean of love and longing written and performed by a sixteen-year-old. She might be getting old, but her taste in music hadn't changed; she still loved anything that made her want to dance. That, too, made her happy.
The water was hot enough to burn you, she thought with pleasure, adjusting the temperature controls on the frighteningly expensive mixer faucet. She remembered their leaner years, the first apartment with the broken-down shower that only gave you lukewarm water until noon, and then only enough for one.
She reached for a thick, fluffy bath sheet, catching a glimpse of her nude body in the mirror. Staring at her overlarge breasts, her rounded stomach and thighs, she wondered where her own body had gone. She looked like a Renoir painting, Baigneuse, or Bather Arranging Her Hair, unfashionably heavy, but not unattractive. To her surprise, instead of being depressed, she felt the word "sexuality" echo in her head. She wondered what that meant at her age, with a husband who had been her boyfriend, and who loved her—with this body and the original—and whom she had loved back now for forty-odd years?
Wrapping the towel around her, she looked into the mirror, combing her wet hair. It had retained its thickness and its sheen, although the days when it flowed down her back like a dark river were long gone, along with her natural mahogany color. It was short and honey brown now, a color that came from bottles and tubes, and was applied with plastic gloves. And while her face had retained its lean shape and had surprisingly few wrinkles—testifying to a calm, pampered, and, for the most part, happy life—her eyelids had begun to droop and her forehead crease. Only in her eyes—large, dark brown ovals that still flashed with amusement and curiosity—did she sometimes glimpse the person she remembered as herself.
Impulsively, she threw open the patio doors, stepping out onto the veranda. "What a lark! What a plunge . . . ! Like the flap of a wave . . . the kiss of a wave," she thought, remembering the words from Mrs. Dalloway she had just taught her eleventh-graders. The pungent scent of damp fall leaves rose up to meet her, the crisp Boston air like chilled cider, intoxicating.
She loved the fall, all the sun-faded colors of summer repainted by vivid reds and golds still clinging fragilely to branches that would soon be covered with snow.
What a wonder! My lovely home. My marvelous garden as big as a park, tended by meticulous gardeners. My daughter's engagement. Planning her party. The blue Boston sky. She pirouetted around the room. It would not rain today, no matter what the weather report predicted. Today would be perfect, she thought, slipping on clothes that were unseasonably light.
Walking down the hallway, she could already hear the buzz of the vacuum cleaner as the household began its day without her. No matter how many years she had employed cleaning help, she still hadn't gotten used to it. Perhaps the housekeepers could feel her discomfort. They never stayed very long.
Esmeralda had been with them for six months now. She was in the dining room, working on the carpets. When she saw Abigail, she turned off the machine, her round face, creaseless as a fall apple, looking up warily.
"No, don't stop! I just wanted to say good morning and to tell you I'm going out for a while, to make some arrangements for the party."
"The engagement party. For your daughter. Miss Kayla." The woman nodded and smiled politely, pretending to care. Abigail smiled back graciously, pretending to believe she cared.
Lovely to be walking down the street in the early part of the day instead of stuck in a classroom! She exulted like Clarissa Dalloway, loving ". . . the wing, tramp, and trudge; . . . the bellow and uproar; . . . the motor cars, omnibuses, vans . . . the triumph and jingle and the strange high singing of some aeroplane overhead;" life, Boston, this moment of September.
She smiled at her shadow as though it were a companion, delighted at the kindly angle of the sun that had airbrushed all the sordid details of aging. But then she noticed the little tufts of hair that stood up waving in the wind—another expensive hairdresser's experiment gone wrong. Ah, well; she smiled to herself, patting them down. What was such a whisper of annoyance next to the ode to joy resonating loudly throughout every fiber of her being?
She raised her face to the sky, beaming at God.
So perfect!
The words had become almost a mantra over the last month, beginning the moment Kayla—her hand clasped tightly in Seth's—announced: "We're engaged!"
She closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the memory: her youngest child's shining face, her big, hazel eyes full of glint and sparkle, like well-cut jewels, revealing their many facets. She recalled clearly the pride and triumph, but somehow the happiness and love were more elusive, like water in sand, absorbed and swallowed. But those things were a given, were they not?
For what was there not to be happy about? Even Kayla, used to golden fleeces falling into her lap without any long quests, must appreciate the answer to every Jewish mother's prayer who would soon, God willing, be her husband. Congratulating them was like making the blessing over a perfect fruit that you hadn't tasted for a long time, Abigail thought: two Harvard Law School students, both Jewish, both from well-to-do families, members of the same synagogue in an exclusive Boston suburb.
But even as she exhaled gratitude like a prayer, she acknowledged it wasn't all luck. I had something to do with it, she told herself, almost giddy with triumph. What hadn't she done to nurture Kayla? The bedtime stories, the elaborate birthday parties, the shopping trips, the decorator bedroom, the private tutors, the long talks, the faithful attendance at every class assembly, play, and athletic event . . . And Kayla had repaid her beyond her wildest dreams. Straight A's, valedictorian, youth ambassador to Norway . . . And now, soon to be a Harvard Law School graduate.
Like an athlete standing on a podium about to hear the national anthem played before the world because they had jumped the highest, run the fastest, thrown the farthest, Abigail exulted in her motherly triumph. Her nerves rock steady, her hands and feet swift and unswerving, she had run all the hurdles of modern motherhood with this child, if not with her older brother and sister, perfecting her mothering skills. Too bad they didn't give out medals. With Kayla, she had certainly earned the gold.
She heard a car honking and turned around. It was Judith, the rabbi's wife. She had a huge smile on her face as she mouthed the words Mazal tov! behind her windshield.
There had been no official announcement yet. Still, everyone had heard through the grapevine.
Thank you! Abigail mouthed back. At just that moment, she saw Mrs. Schwartz walking across the street in the opposite direction.
"Abigail! Just heard about Kayla! How wonderful!" She cupped her mouth, shouting.
Abigail waved, delighted. "Thank you! Thank you!" She shouted back. "Are you coming to the party?"
"I wouldn't miss it!"
She felt almost like a celebrity, as if she owned the town.
A motorcycle roared past, shearing the air and cutting off her thoughts. She looked up at the swaying old trees, suddenly feeling afraid. Her grandmother would have said "kenina hora" meaning, more or less, "may the Evil Eye keep shut." In the Middle Ages, all good fortune would have routinely filled the recipients with dread, she comforted herself. One would have had to bang pots or compose and wear amulets to ward off the furies set loose by such joy as hers.
She took a deep breath, exhaling all bad thoughts, focusing. The caterer, then the florist. Check the hotel reservations at the Marriott for the out-of-town uncles and Adam's sister and brother-in-law. Check Printers Inc. for place cards and probably Grace After Meal booklets with a photo of the young couple, although Adam might be right in thinking that would be overkill, since they'd have to be reordered for the wedding. But she wasn't feeling frugal.
They'd moved up far in the world. From the salary of a lowly junior accountant to the earnings of their own accounting firm, whose clients headlined articles in Fortune magazine. It had taken a long time. Their eldest, Joshua, had just gotten into high school when they'd finally bought their dream house, a historic colonial on a block of sought-after homes a short commute from downtown and Harvard. The renovation had taken years.
She turned the corner into Harvard Square. The students who rented out the smallest apartments had already taken up residence. They crowded the streets, their trim figures still in shorts and sleeveless tops, as if their defiance was enough to keep winter at bay.
She had been teaching high-school English for close to thirty-five years now. She liked young people. She liked looking at them: their bright, smooth, open faces, their supple, shapely bodies, their smiles. She liked their intelligent rebellion against forced compromises with conventional wisdom, often thinking that she learned as much as she taught. That, perhaps, had been her greatest fear about her profession: the bloody-mindedness as D. H. Lawrence—that rebel against hypocrisy—had called it; the repetitiveness of it all. The need to "cover material," dulling the senses of the fresh enthusiastic human beings who, for the first time, were about to encounter a world of infinite wonders.
That had not happened, at least not too often. When she assigned Willa Cather's My Antonia, or Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, or The Diary of Anne Frank, she felt like a bystander to a thrilling event about to unfold before her very eyes. Sometimes, she admitted to herself sheepishly, she even felt a little like she'd coauthored the book, deserving part of the credit for its wondrous qualities.
The kids were always such fresh challenges—not unlike the books themselves. At the beginning of each new school year she felt as if she were peeling back the covers from their stiff bindings, each one a unique and fascinating story. She'd begin her relationship with each one hopefully, hanging in there, looking for the good things until forced to admit otherwise. That did not happen often. If you looked hard enough and refused to give up hope long enough, you could always find something.
How lovely to be young and unwrinkled, with so many unspent days and months and years ahead! How lovely to have strong bones and white, glistening teeth straightened to perfection by expensive orthodontia. Her tongue navigated her own less-than-perfect smile. Some women her age got them straightened—there were invisible braces nowadays, and porcelain veneers . . . But it seemed so vain and extravagant, not to mention bothersome. Besides, she had a man who had been telling her for the last forty years she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
She smiled to herself, waiting on the corner for the light to change.
The Body Shop window had cranberry-scented candles in little straw holders. But might it be too obvious to use a fall decorating scheme for the party? Pumpkins and squash, cranberries and apples? Adam would love it. Orange was his favorite color—any shade. The kids often poked gentle fun at him for wardrobe disasters that could be chalked up to this enthusiasm. Since he never shopped unless forced to by dire necessity—like running out of socks—his purchases were often spontaneous impulses that overtook him when passing outlet stores with signs that read EVERYTHING REDUCED 70%. Inevitably, those drastic reductions included some article of men's apparel dyed a shocking—and consequently unsalable—shade of unbelievable orange: jackets, shirts, vests, ties, raincoats, even boots.
She shook her head. Goodwill always had a supply of excellent high-quality items in those shades courtesy of Adam Samuels. They hardly ever sold. Even poor people had some standards.
She walked into the shop, fingering the waxy shapes, breathing in the spicy smells. There was still time to make these decisions. So far Kayla had been very breezy "whatever" about the engagement party, except for defining the absolute parameters: Evening. Black tie. Top-notch catering. And one-twenty to one-fifty guests, max.
She turned her head. It was Sandra something, a woman she knew vaguely from synagogue functions; someone who wore strange, baggy designer clothes and had her hair cut brutally short. She and her husband were the kind of people who always wanted something: free tax advice, investment tips, donations for obscure causes, or to enlist you in time-consuming volunteer schemes that would make themselves look good. She smiled.
The woman put her arms around her, kissing her cheek: "Mazal tov! I just heard. Wonderful about your daughter's engagement!"
"Oh, how did you . . . ?"
"Your friend Doris told me. So exciting!"
Doris? "Yes, thanks so much," Abigail said with an inward sigh, mentally adding her name and the vaguely remembered Doris's to a guest list already bloated with people she had to invite or risk insulting. Suddenly, when a party was in the offing, people seemed to sniff it out, ratcheting up their friendliness quotient to be included.
"Well, see you in shul!" Abigail waved, hurriedly leaving the store.
As she walked toward the caterer, Abigail felt herself tense. She hoped there wouldn't be a fight with Kayla, but there was no way she was going to insult Arthur Cohen (who was, after all, a fellow synagogue member and an old friend) by going elsewhere.
She remembered Adam's fiftieth birthday bash. Even though Abigail had done all the work, Kayla felt she had a right to decide the guest list. "You don't want them. They are so boring," she'd said, putting a line through Henrietta and Stephen.
They were old, old friends, people she and Adam had known from the first week they'd moved to Boston. They had been to all each other's milestone celebrations, shared Sabbath evening dinners, planned joint vacations. They were like family.
"But we were invited to Stephen's fiftieth!" Abigail protested.
"Oh, he's such a bag of wind. And she's even worse . . ." Kayla scrunched up her pretty nose in distaste. "I thought we would just have—you know—the family," she continued, crossing off another two of their oldest friends.
Abigail said nothing but invited whom she pleased.
It was a surprise party. She'd expected all the kids to arrange something special for Adam. Joshua, of course, did, preparing a heartfelt video in which he interviewed all their friends and relatives, putting together a lovely tribute. And Shoshana, even though she was eight months pregnant and had a toddler of two to look after, made all the flower arrangements, handwrote all the place cards, and baked hundreds of those sugar cookies she was famous for. Kayla, in contrast, breezed in the night of the party, an hour later than Abigail had asked her to come, wanting to know how she could help.
"Nothing, darling. It's all been arranged. I'm just so happy you're here." Abigail smiled at her sweetly, swallowing hard. "Daddy will be here soon. Would you be an angel and answer the door?"
It was Stephen and Henrietta, followed by Arthur and Helen, and a few more of Kayla's cross-offs. Kayla gave them a bare smile, then sulked the entire evening, until finally she left early without saying good-bye.
"Her Majesty is not happy with her subjects," Adam murmured dryly, when Abigail filled him in on the details.
The next day, of course, Kayla was contrite and apologetic. "I just had something really private and special planned for Daddy. I had this whole speech. . . ."
Abigail felt a pang of guilt. Perhaps she had ruined some lovely, special moment between father and daughter? Perhaps there had been an excellent reason for her bratty behavior? Perhaps Kayla was on a higher level—a place Abigail couldn't see even in her imagination?
Or perhaps not.
As always, they both apologized, hugged, and let it pass. What was the name of that organization founded by a billionaire to help Bill Clinton out of the Monica Lewinsky morass? Getoverit.org? Or something like that. Exactly.
For a moment, she thought about discussing this openly with her daughter. She rummaged through her purse for her cell phone, then suddenly remembered it was on her desk recharging.
Just as well. She just wouldn't bring the subject up. Kayla wouldn't remember anyhow, she thought, recalling her sweet sixteen party. For months, every time the subject had come up, she'd feigned disinterest, saying it was silly and childish, like kids' "theme" parties. And so Abigail had ordered a cake and invited the family and a handful of Kayla's friends. But then after attending a friend's sweet sixteen in a theme park, with a party held afterward in the Hilton ballroom in Back Bay, with a live performance by a popular local band, Kayla had changed her mind.
Of course, things were arranged: the band, the hall, the works, all at the very last minute. Kayla had been adorably grateful and happy. She had enjoyed every minute. And Abigail, exhausted, had spent the next week in bed. Now, except for the caterer and the guest list, Abigail was perfectly happy to do anything her daughter wanted—if only Kayla would say what that was. On time.
Oh my goodness, she scolded herself. The bride is too pretty. Was this stuff worth worrying about? You have a beautiful daughter. A Harvard Law School student. A girl who is engaged to a Jewish mother's dream. A nachas bonanza. Give it a rest!
Maybe she'd just buy a few cranberry candles and show them to Kayla.
But first—she wanted to settle with the caterer.
"Hi, Gayle," she said, walking into the catering and takeout shop. "Is your dad in?"
"Oh, Mrs. Samuels!" The girl looked up from her computer, hastily slamming it shut. Her face turned the color of the tomato salsa featured in the refrigerator case, Abigail thought, wondering if it had been that color when she walked in, and she just hadn't noticed. She stood staring in wonder, watching the color deepen to scarlet. "Oh, I'll . . . just get Dad," the girl said, fleeing.
A tiny stab of unease suddenly pierced Abigail Samuels. A prescient moment, absolutely baseless, began to send a wave of nausea and nervous tension through her body. She was the kind of person who always unconsciously identified with the person she was with—a remnant of her childhood inferiority complex, which insisted she be a chameleon to court favor. Everyone had to love her. And if you were just like the person you were with at the moment, it helped.
"Oh, Albert."
His face was pleasant but not welcoming, with a strange crease of discomfort between the brows. "Abigail."
There was an awkward silence as she tried to figure out where she was and what had happened. Did she owe him money? Adam always paid the bills and paid them promptly. Perhaps Kayla had slipped and told one of her friends about the outside catering, and word had gotten back to him? But she was here now, ready to order . . .
"I'm—so sorry," he finally said.
Like a character in a bad play, she looked behind her to see who he could be talking to. There was no one there.
"What's wrong, Al?"
His face took on a sense of shock. "It was on the Internet. Gayle showed it to me . . ." He paused, horrified as the realization struck that he would be the one breaking this kind of news to a person he knew and liked, the kind of news that should be heard among your own people, in your own home, surrounded by people you loved.

I absolutly loved reading this book. So perfectly written. Sentences, words, characters, all a perfect match. Although I found myself feeling a lot of anger towards Kayla and thinking what an ungrateful, self absorbed, spoiled brat she is. Abandoning her family just when they needed her by their side and after all her parents had done for her. This book makes you sit up an make an assessment and question your own life. I know those thoughts certainly entered in my mind. I think we would all like to have the luxury to go off to some remote part of the world and find a "Rav Natan" and find ourselves. Only do not do it during a family crises. The character of Daniel seemed too convenient, just happened to have the right connections that helped to save Adam. I admire Abigail, it took a terrible event in her life to realize just what role in her marriage her husband exxpected of her and she dutifully accepted. In a way Abigail found herself. Maybe she took it to the extreme, after all you marry for better or for worse. I highly recommend this book. I applaud the author for a well written entertaining book.
This is the second book of Naomi's i read and totally enjoyed it! A good fast hard- to- put - down read! So much inspiration in the book and the colorful way Naomi writes, one can visilize the colors and landscapes of Israel. Im now on book three and plan on reading all of Naomi's books!
As usual Naomi Ragen brings characters into your home. I loved this book!!!A nice man gets railroaded. Makes you see things happening today a little differently. I too would love to go back to easier times.
This book was chosen by our book club and I raced through it in less than 3 days! The main characters were well developed and I never could be sure where the author was taking me. Well done!
A wonderful story and a fast read. The characters and their problems all came to life. I could relate to Abigal and the life changes she made. I now long to do the same thing for all the same reasons. Not all of Ragens books have been available as eBooks. When researching books at B&N online and found Ragen was coming out with The Tenth Song, as an eBook, I preordered it, and was not dissapointed.
Very disappointing. Although the premise of the novel had potential.....how our rights are affected by Homeland Security concerns......the novel takes a trite and predictable turn. The characters are poorly devolved and the ending has a soap opera quality to it. Not Worth the time or money.
I read this for a book club selection and really enjoyed it. It was very thought provoking and we had a wonderful discussion about it. Each character has his/her flaws and it was wonderful to think about them how they are and if they would ever change, etc.
Not the quality I expect from Naomi Ragen.
I was half way through the book when i realized I'd read it before. Because of my own life experiences I got so much more out of it the second time through. A must for woman of "middle" years. Definitely thought provoking.
I'm interested in the subject matter, and Ragen's description of some American Jewish communities, especially wealthier ones, is right on target, such as the materialism and lack of real compassion for a member of the community in trouble. As much as I love Israel, I didn't enjoy the scenes there as much as I thought I would. RavNatan's community in the desert was just too 60's hippiesh for me. And the decisions made by Kayla, and especially by Abigail, at the end, were totally improbable to me.

As summer vacations wind down, so too do the summer efforts of QU faculty who have an unusual relationship with the months of June, July and August. Many spend the summer conducting research, writing, attending conferences and preparing to be challenging and up-to-date in the classroom come fall semester.
We continue "A Professor's Vacation" with Dr. Alexander Laskin who has three active young sons running and playing in and out of his Cheshire home. That trio does not stop him from working to crack public relations mysteries and satisfying his appetite for controversial academic topics.
Dr. Laskin's summer work is being supported by funds made available to faculty from the University and Dean Lee Kamlet's office through the QU School of Communications Committee on Scholarship and Creative Works. These grants are competitively awarded to cover materials, equipment, travel and other expenses associated with this "vacation" work.

I know what you're thinking. Roasting vegetables in the middle of summer? Crazy fool. Not only that but making a soup out of them must be the height of madness. To some extent I agree, however the weather hasn't been that great recently, and the rainy days and cooler evenings have made me crave something warm and comforting. It has truly been a typical British summer so far, not that I'm complaining though because I quite like rainy days.
The combination of the cauliflower and cannellini beans gives the soup a creamy consistency that feels quite indulging while the aromatic cumin provides a refreshing kick. The soup is quite light and almost has a cooling quality and when coupled with the heat produced by the spicy chickpeas makes it a perfect dish to demolish during those cooler summer evenings. The recipe serves 4 and should keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. I always make huge batches to use throughout the week purely because I love to be quite lazy… Don't fear being lazy though as this soup is packed full of many amazing vitamins and minerals which are all thought to have extensive health benefits.
Cauliflowers are cruciferous vegetables belonging to the Brassicaceae family and are extensively cultivated around the world. The name cruciferous, meaning 'cross bearing', is derived from the 4 petal flowers resembling a cross, a characteristic the whole Brassicaceae family share. The family includes numerous vegetables, notably kale, cabbage, broccoli and turnips. Cruiferous vegetables are referred to as 'functional foods' meaning they have a host of benefits beyond providing basic nutrition for example, helping prevent certain diseases.
Cauliflower contains a whole host of beneficial nutrients including large amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K and folate. A study published in Carcinogenesis in 2008 [1] showed that sulforaphane, a sulphur compound found in cauliflower, was capable of slowing the growth of tumours by killing cancer stem cells. Furthermore, a study published in the American Journal of Hypertension in 2012 [2] found that sulforaphane significantly improved blood pressure and kidney function in rats. The National Cancer Institute [3] suggests that indoles and isothiocyanates, two other compounds found in cauliflower, inhibit the development of cancer in several organs. Cauliflower is also a great source of anti-inflammatory nutrients, and choline – a B vitamin that plays an incredibly important role in brain development. Last but certainly not least, cauliflower is an important source of dietary fibre which contributes to maintaining good digestive health.
Next time you think cauliflower is just another boring, tasteless vegetable that only deserves a place once a week on the dining table for Sunday lunch, think again! Eat up and even go for seconds. Maybe you could even discuss the merits of cruciferous vegetables while fighting for the remnants of cauliflower cheese? Just sayin'. These veggies are amazing.
Boiling, steaming or roasting?
What cooking method should you use to maintain the highest level of nutrients possible I hear you ask. None of the three methods mentioned are inherently bad. However, when you boil or steam vegetables you run the risk of decreasing the level of water-soluble vitamins (vitamins B, C and folic acid) in the finished dish. This can be particularly disappointing if you're trying to increase your intake of water-soluble vitamins. Of course, if the water the vegetables were cooked in is utilised in the dish (like it is in this soup) instead of being thrown away the beneficial properties of the water-soluble vitamins are maintained. On the other hand, if the water is of no use in the finished dish it is preferable to roast or use a limited amount of water to prevent a loss of nutrients.
