17 Books that impacted my life....
Now here's the tricky part - some work for my Blogdosts. How about your list? It doesn't have to feature 17 books. I'll settle for 5 ! Go for it, guys....
And if you really, really want to know more about what my Paris trip was all about... encourage me! Just a few short words will do... ha ha. But for now - no more champagne or foie gras!! Oooooffff... all those lethal calories!
I really thought this was going to be one of the toughest writing assignments ever. Picking 17 books out of the hundreds that have been devoured, absorbed, internalized, digested and cherished!But… guess what? It turned out to be not just an easy piece to write, but a hugely pleasurable one! And the list presented itself on a platter – the choices were that obvious. It was during the writing process that the real fun kicked in… revisiting favourites from my formative years, and realizing just what a powerful effect those continue to have over my imagination even now. There have been several memorable books since then, but none with such a seminal influence over my head and heart. Not so surprisingly, a lot of them were written by women – from Simone de Beauvoir to Germaine Greer. Francoise Sagan to Amy Tan. Throw in Anais Nin, plus Linda Goodman and we have six outstanding books right there.
Here goes. And this is a list that does not recognize order, hierarchies, genres. It's just a list that is personal and passionate.
1) 'War and Peace' . Published in 1869. Written with majestic sweep by Leo Tolstoy. I fell in love with Pierre Bezuhov while reading the book. And imagined I was Natasha Rostov. Rarely does a movie match the book. But in this case, it was as brilliant. Audrey Hepburn as Natasha!
2) 'Anna Karenina'. Perhaps this was my 'Russian writers' phase. Vladimir Nabokov called Leo Tolstoy's classic " One of the greatest love stories in world literature." Great love stories have to be tragic. Read this one… and weep for days.
3) 'Lady Chatterley's Lover.' Irresistible! It was one of the earliest 'banned' book. So, of course , it had to be read! D.H.Lawrence created one of the most erotically charged illicit relationships between a titled woman and Mellors, her energetic game keeper. This book is much , much more than a 'sexual romp'. But try telling that to the philistines??
4) 'Tender is the Night'. F.Scott Fitzgerald's perfectly poised, elegantly written gem ( before he wrote 'The Great Gatsby') has one of the most evocative opening lines ever about 'a large, rose- coloured hotel' on the French Riviera.
5) 'Le Petit Prince'. Written in 1943 by Antoine de Saint Exupery, an aristocrat-aviator, it's book one passes on to grandchildren and reads all over again for the 25th time, just for lines like, "One sees clearly only with the heart."
6) 'Delta of Venus'. Author, Anais Nin. Described as exploring 'The language of the Senses', this is sublime female erotica, or as critics described it , 'the essence of female sexuality.'
7) 'Bonjour Tristesse' .Written by the then 18 year-old Francoise Sagan (1954). The precocious Cecile in the book begs the question – child or adult? Of course, it is Francoise herself!
8) ' The Fountainhead'. Show me one young woman who has read this book and not spent the rest of her life looking for Howard Roark!Futile, my dear.Utterly futile.Men like Roark exist in fiction alone.
9) 'The Kitchen God's Wife'. Amy Tan. Clever, sharply observed, heart breakingly accurate in its sensitive depiction of the immigrant experience.
10) 'Sun Signs'. Sounds crazy. But Linda Goodman's astro book changed my life. It has changed countless other lives! To call it scarily accurate is an understatement! Find yourself in this hefty, definitive tome.
11) 'The Female Eunuch'. This book will always remain special. I met the legendary intellectual, Germaine Greer and was totally blown away by her dazzling thinking. Written in 1970, it soon became a feminist bible.
12) 'The Second Sex'. Simone de Beauvoir. Glad I didn't meet her! Superb writer. Sad woman. She famously wrote, "One is not born, but becomes a woman." Do we have a choice?
13) 'Gone With the Wind'. Margaret Mitchell. How dare anybody attempt a sequel? To that?? Sheer audacity!They don't make men like Rhett Butler any more. Nor women like Scarlet O'Hara.
14) 'The Golden Gate'.Vikram Seth's 307- page poem, a love story, no less.Only a genius can pull off such a literary feat .Seth is a genius.
15) 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' William Shakespeare's vivid and delightful 'comedy of errors'. If only our lives could be as easily sorted out by elves and fairies.
16) 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles.' Thomas Hardy's exquisite prose! Compulsory reading for all aspiring writers. But such a depressing read! How did Hardy know that ALL women are sad?Perenially and essentially sad?
17) 'Wuthering Heights'. Emily Bronte's only novel, published in 1847.A brutal love story that destroys several lives.Come on. Admit it. Ideally,every woman should have known a Heathcliff once in her life. Even if, all too briefly.

Wuthering Heights and Fountain Head is on my list too, but I struggle with fiction. I like reading psychology papers, astrology, palmistry and behavioral patterns. Though, I loved Eric Segal's Love Story because it was a short novel and I loved it to the core. I liked Khushwant Singh's The Train to Pakistan as well.
Sigh, am not much of a reader :(
And ,I look forward to the Paris details, please do share <3

War & Peace + Gone with the winds are my listings too...I think this is going to be my next blog topic. My Personal favorites. Hmmm....it's a very tough assignment indeed to cut short the list to 5 :) I just fall in love with the paper backs always. Wonder iPads and Kindles replacing the scent of those fresh new pages. I just love it !!!
Must say, you have done a great job naming the 17 top favorites.
Paris - Just pour your words down.

Apart from Gone with the wind the classic, Fountainhead with Charleston Heston was one of his best movies produced in the 60s.

Surviving Men by Shobhaa De. It's the latest book I've read, just completed it a week ago. Spoke directly to my soul, sometimes you hear/read something that sticks with you through life, this book has many such ideas and thoughts that will change the way one thinks and operates with the opposite gender. Thank you for being so brutally open and honest about life, love and all things in between. The power of writing is that you can bring change, peace and influence to countless unseen, unheard souls like myself. I "get" Shobhaa De - the writer, and everyone in that boat is addicted - for good!

I loved the post.
what i really liked is my guru Linda Goodman Book featured in your 17 favourites.Iam a numerologist and most of my numerology knowledge and astro facts i know is thanks to Linda Goodman.U know one of the reason i liked you is your knowledge about sun signs i still remember reading on net about your piscean and leo daughter- my Higherself told me this lady(u) is wise -(many people disregard astrolgy at their own peril) "Astrological influences combined with human understanding lead to deeper and more fertile relationships"(A T Mann - Mandala tarot).
As for my favourites All Linda goodman books and cards( i have all of them except Gooberz i am praying hard to my higherself to get me this one too).
Your books(spouse,speed post,superstar India,surviving men,selective memory,shobhaa at sixty) i have loved all these books for the wisdom they carry and i can connect with you( in terms of values and principles...capricorn rules wisdom ..you were my HigherSelf choice ..HS is never wrong...i was introduced to you by your book "Spouse" since then my relationship with you(through books and blog has strenghtened...sometimes you just meet right people i am glad i know you and proud of my choice).
i really loved speed post most second selective memory rest are also my favourites but these are my favourites.
Astro books by Grant lewi,sydney ommar,Evangeline Adams i have learnt some very important aspects of astrology from them which i will remember till i breathe.
A big"yes" about paris!

Here we go...
1.Gone with the wind - Margaret Mitchell. I never even bothered to read the sequel though Prannoy Roy showed a loooong queue waiting to buy it in "The world this week". Reading a book is like listening to the author. When the hand that writes changes, how does one relate to the story ?
2.Inside the kingdom - Carmen bin laden. A compelling unputdownable book about the woman who fell in love & married the brother of none other than the dreaded Osama bin laden, had 2 daughters when they decided to visit the kingdom where his people lived........ If you want a similar story, you should have seen Karishma Kapoor in 'Shakti - the power'. A performance worth the national award
3.The Kennedy curse - Edward Klein. I'm fascinated with the Kennedy family. Now I want to read all Edward's books.
4.The Genius Factory: The Curious History of the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank - David Plotz
5.Sister of my heart - Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. Oh, how I wish I could write like her !
6.Yes Minister - Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn. How can one forget Sir Humphrey Appleby, Bernard Woolley & the minister in the BBC serial ? Classic humour. No wonder our parliament functions the way it doesr being modelled after the British Parliament.
7.Yes Prime Minister - Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn. Same goes for this as well.
8.The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - Mark Haddon. The book won several prizes. But the impact the innocence of the character it leaves with the reader is long lasting. An unforgettable book. Shah Rukh Khan did full justice to the character in a different story in "My name is Khan".
9.Digital Fortress - Dan Brown. A delight for gizmo freaks. Really.
10.Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier. "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again" starts the book. It is about the jealousy of a faithful servant of the 1st wife over the second wife of her mistress's husband & how she wields her power to wreck havoc in her young victim's life. Conspiracy, venom, intolerance...you have it. She reminded me of Manthara, the servant of Kaikeyi & Shakuni of Mahabharat. We have all those characters in our great epics.
11.The Millionairess (George Bernard Shaw) - Another British intelligent comedy.
12.The Devil's Disciple (G B Shaw) - We had that as a 2nd English book in convent & I enjoyed it.
13.The Godfather - Mario Puzo. The danger is that you would wanna be a member of that mafia family !
14.My feudal lord - Tehmina Durrani, wife of Malik Ghulam Mustafa Khar who is a prominent politician in Pakistan dares to write about the male dominated Pak society & its politics, women's position, her own sins & punishments.....If you skip the political elaborations, an interesting read.
15.Rage of the Angels - Sydney Sheldon. Ah, mafia & its heart again. I enjoyed the malayalam film starring Ambika & Mohanlal based on this novel.
16.I went crazy over James Hadly chase till I became pregnant. I didn't want to read thrillers till delivery. But after that I lost interest & haven't touched a Hadly book till date. It is a period in ones life, I guess. Then the tastebuds refuse to take anymore of that once you become a mother.
17.Speedpost - Shobhaa de. I enjoyed reading the tidbits. I think every mother should have such exchanges with her children.
18.The scarlet pimpernel - Baroness Emmuska Orczy. Played over 2000 times, traslated in 16 languages, this only work earned her & her husband an estate in Kent, a bustling London home and an opulent villa in Monte Carlo ! She dedicates this huge success to God, believing this work & opulence it earned her to be the "Will of God".
19.Wise & otherwise - Sudha Murthy. Very realistic & practical. It touches every chord.
20.My story - Kamala Das. O my ! She dares.
I am not able to stop. There is much more.....
I am interested in photos. Dazzling Paris ! I know you'll have some. Waiting....

- Shailee said...
Well you asked 5, so I will stick to 5 :)
5. Unaccustomed earth- Jhumpa Lahiri
4. Fountainhead- Ayn Rand- I love Roark, though I don't necessarily agree on everything Ayn Rand says in the book
3. Interpreter of Maladies- Jhumpa Lahiri
2. Great Expectations- Charles Dickens
1. Each and every Harry Potter book (I am still a kid at heart and the amazing language that JK Rowling uses is so addictive, it makes you want to be one of those countless wizards at Hogwarts!)
Apart from these books that really helped me during my formative years include Enid Blyton (who doesn't love her!), Sidney Sheldon and those numerous Mills and Boons books I read (wink wink)

Here's my five fav
1.Whatever happens to me series by Geoff Thompson - seems like my biography already, how could I not like them.
3.Malgudi Days by RK Narayan - wow! you can smell the village in each page.
4.Alchemist and 11 minutes by Paulo Coelho - if one showed where my professional gem is hidden the other showed the red rose within me
5.Fasting, feasting by Anita Desai - pictureseque writing. I love Desai for her descriptions. How can anyone write pages about a couple sitting on a swing!
6.Sun Signs by Linda Goodman - bang on all 12 heads; even after the so-called 13th sign walked in, she is oh-so-damn right.

My top 5 picks would be:
1) Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
2) Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger
3) To Kill a Mocking Bird - Harper Lee
4) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - R.L. Stevenson
5) Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton.(I could feel the dinosaurs lurking in the room).
I am a big fan of Leo Tolstoy, as a kid two of his short stories left an indelible mark on my mind namely:
i) God sees the truth but waits (there was a episode on this in Katha Sagar directed by Shyam Benegal)
ii) A Spark neglected burns the house.
I like Fyodor Dostoevsky also quite a lot and My Brothers Karmazov was a spiritual experience. Though I would say Crime and Punishment and Notes from the underground also take you to a different world.
Crime thrillers from early British authors are interesting as well particularly Agatha Christie.
And if it comes to plays then G.B. Shaw paints the humour for me.
The list is actually very long and so I'll wrap it up here..........

On October 16th Joel and I headed up to Tioga Pass for a morning climb of Mount Dana to be followed by a climb of Vogelsang Peak later in the day (photos from that climb forthcoming). A chilly breeze at Tioga Pass caused us to take the prudent course of action and dress in several layers right from the parking lot. It turns out all the layers were needed as subfreezing temperatures coupled with a stiff wind produced frigid conditions. However, the brisk weather produced magnificent clarity with phenomenal photography of the Cathederal Range in the early morning light. We made the roundtrip trek in a little over 2.5 hours and drove down from Tioga Pass to Toulumne Meadows where we would begin the adventure run to Vogelsang Lake and Peak in the afternoon (to be continued). Here are a few of the photos with a complete album of here.

Emily A. Crist, 84, passed away Wednesday, July 3, 2013, at her home in Medford, Ore.. She was born November 21, 1928 in Bakersfield, Calif., to Anna and Frank Alexis Jr. She married Ross H. Crist who preceded her in death in June, 2011.
Surviving are her two daughters; son; three granddaughters; one grandson; three great-granddaughters; and two great-grandsons.
Emily was well-known as The Flower Lady in the neighborhood where she delivered hundreds of creatively designed bouquets of roses and other flowers from her yard to two local hospital reception desks, local restaurants, banks, and other businesses and private parties who wanted them. She also grew a garden every year and planted several fruit trees, other bushes, and plants. She was an avid gardener and loved her roses. She grafted her own fruit trees, started new roses, and grew flowers from seeds saved from the year before.
She was an energetic multi-tasker, passionately enjoyed and completed nearly 200 braided rugs which she gave away to friends and acquaintances, created numerous cement fountains, walkways, rock walls, and two swimming pools over the years. She worked at a bank and in a senior care center. She baked and cooked, was an artist, a homemaker, loved her horses, cats (she is also survived by her cat, Sassy, who misses her so much), dogs, dancing, and listening to music.
She and Ross received a Certificate of Appreciation in 2008 from the Medford Police Department for their generous donation and support of the Medford Police Bike Patrol Unit. They also donated on a regular basis to C.A.T.S. (spay and neuter cat program).
She loved to listen to Andre Rieu CDs and watch Lawrence Welk reruns Saturday at 5:30 p.m. She followed a strict diet regime of good nutrition, ate fresh fruit and vegetables from her own garden, and used no sprays.
There will be no service per Emily's wishes. You may visit the gravesite to pay your respects. Emily will be laid to rest at Hillcrest Mortuary in the veteran's section with her deceased sweetheart husband, Ross Crist. www.hillcrestmortuary.com

Big bats paved the way for Lansing; Immaculata loses a close one; Saint Mary continue to spiral
Big bats paved the way for a set of Lansing baseball victories Saturday.
To start, the Lions recorded runs in every inning after the second in game one to beat Bonner Springs 13-3. That contest was followed by a six-run sixth in game two that pushed the visitors to an 8-6 win.
"You could tell it was both clubs' first game," Lansing coach Mike Williams said. "We were a little bit tight, but all-in-all we battled and were able to pull out two wins."
Jake Patton secured the win in the first game while Cole Muse was the pitcher of note in the second.
Lansing, 2-0, will host Bishop Ward today at 4 p.m.
"We got a lot to work on, but I won't complain about winning a ball game," Williams said.
Raiders one run short in slugfest
Offensively, the Immaculata baseball team was certainly ready to begin the new year.
Defensively, it was a different story. Opening the season at Heritage Christian Academy, the home team toppled the Raiders 12-11 in a contest that included several miscues by each squad's defense.
"It was very apparent that neither team had the opportunity to practice outside much this year," Imac coach Met Metivier said. "The coaches need to do a better job getting the team ready and we will make the changes to ensure we are ready."
Connor Goetz started the game on the mound for the Raiders, allowing nine runs ― just three earned ― in three innings. Tanier Kerrigan followed with three innings, which included three unearned runs and six strikeouts.
Heritage got multiple runs in every inning from the second to the fifth, while a seventh-run third frame paced Imac.
The visitors posted two runs in the top of the fifth to grab a 11-9 advantage, but the home squad answered with three and never relinquished the advantage from there on.
"Our focus on using the speed and athleticism was critical in all of our scoring," Metivier said. "We scored 11 runs on only six hits."
Sean Murray led the way offensively with a 2-for-2 effort including two walks, two steals and three RBIs. Jaxon Qualley was 2-for-3, one run scored and two RBIs.
Immaculata, 0-1, will host McLouth Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
"We showed potential for scoring runs and optimizing our offensive potential," the Raiders coach said. "Our defense will be the emphasis this week."
Only one win at home this weekend for Saint Mary
The rough patch continues for the Saint Mary baseball team.
After opening this weekend's home series against McPherson with a 9-2 victory, USM dropped its next three ― a 10-1 result against its visitors and then a pair of losses, 10-1 and 2-1, Monday versus Tabor.
The trio of defeats bumps the Spires to 2-10 in Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference play, 9-18 overall, and into a tie for last place within the league.
By far the best game of the last few days came on Saturday when the squad won 9-2. Stephen Malisa was the pitcher of record after allowing three hits and one run while Joe Haak went 2-for-4 (RBI) and Travis Quick was 2-for-3 (three RBI).
However, the victory was short lived when USM mustered only three runs over the next three games.
Just 2-6 over its last eight contests, the Spires will play at Friends University Thursday beginning at 1 p.m.

The Beirut Central District (BCD) is the name given to Beirut's historical and geographical core, the "vibrant financial, commercial, and administrative hub of the country." It is situated on the city's northern coast and includes many monuments and places of importance to the citizens of Beirut, including Martyrs' Square. Beirut Central District is sometimes called Solidere, after the company of the same name founded by Rafik Hariri that has undertaken reconstruction of the neighborhood after the Lebanese Civil War.

Just getting started in Gigapan and found your images. I love the depth. Thanks for taking time to share!
You are right Juancé. This is a stitching error. thanks for stopping by. for more please visit: www.karimsaad.net
Anyone checked the second from left minaret at the blue domed mosque? The top is suspended on air. Great work, I could spend days here. This is like being a legal peeping tom.
If you zoom in on the 2 red cars diagonal from one another on the left side of the picture, the top half of one of the cars is missing
It's amazing that I can zoom in on such a tiny part of the picture in see people clearly and see exactly what they're doing
I love that the picture shows such detail when zoomed in
I love the panoramic view. It's a beautiful city view
Awesome! : )
I dug this one
Great job, hope to see some of your works soon

Well done.

In 2001, ECPAT International estimated the number of child pornography websites at 100,000 1. Ten years later, that figure does not account for the increased number of Internet users and online trading of illegal images through peer to peer networks, email, text messages, streaming video, and other means.
It is difficult to know the full extent of the online child pornography issue; however, in 2007, the State of the World's Children Report estimated that at least 1.8 million children were involved in commercial sex work 2. The Internet can indefinitely extend the abuse through the circulation of virtually irretrievable images and video.
Because connected technology is the lifeblood of the child pornography industry, legislation must specifically address the electronic proliferation and storage of illegal images. The global market for these materials demands the cooperation of individual nations. Specific, consistent laws will greatly facilitate identifying and prosecuting offenders. And, as policy makers are careful and vigilant in drafting these laws, they will be protecting and safeguarding children all over the world.
According to ICMEC, child pornography legislation should:
iKeepSafe encourages parents everywhere to be aware of the realities of child pornography and what they can to encourage effective legislation.

Effective date: 12th May 2009
You must not use other software to gain an unfair advantage in our games. This includes automation tools, macros, bots, or auto-typers. You may not circumvent any of our mechanisms designed to automatically log out inactive users.
You also must not use any game-specific, third-party software that encourages breaking of our rules, or bypasses the normal navigation of our website, or automatically requests pages from our website, or which endangers user accounts.
Related Questions
Below are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule:
1. Why do we have this rule?
First, we don't want players to download third-party software from untrusted sources that can, and often do, contain keyloggers, trojans and viruses. Many players have had their accounts stolen because they have inadvertently installed hacking software on their machines. Even if the author has good intentions, an unintended flaw in their software could still put your account at risk. Some supposedly reputable software has had problems in the past. There are also cases of people deliberately writing software which looks like a useful add-on, but actually just steals your password.
Secondly, macroing ruins the game for everyone else. We don't want some players having an unfair advantage and filling up all the best training spots with bots. This game is designed to be enjoyed by humans, not bots. In the past, when we have not enforced this rule, we have rapidly found it quickly spoils the game, and players themselves start demanding that we enforce it. Now we enforce it thoroughly.2. What type of third-party software is NOT allowed?
This includes, but is not limited to the following third-party software:
In any case, the use of such software is not recommended. We do not recommend the use of ANY third-party software, as it is potentially extremely dangerous. Please be aware that there is software out there that claims to be a great add-on, but actually installs a keylogger on your computer and steals your password! You should also be aware that there is dangerous software around that won't necessarily be spotted by your anti-virus software. Scanning downloads is, of course, a very good idea, but it still doesn't 100% eliminate the risk.3. What do you mean by "software"?
Software means any type of program, including: downloadable software (e.g an .exe file), or web-based software (e.g a website set up to perform a similar function with flash, java, javascript or serverside scripts).4. How does the macro detection system work?
Our macro detection system monitors activity on our servers and detects suspicious behaviour. This evidence is reviewed by our team of experts who either confirm or reject the system's analysis. Jagex will not reveal the exact mechanics of how this system works, because this would make circumvention easier.5. Will I be able to appeal against a ban for macroing?
Our policy has always been that we do not tolerate any form of cheating. We do not ban accounts lightly. Significant evidence is always collected before any action is taken against a player. We will not reveal the evidence that we have collected, since most cheats only want to know the evidence so that they can avoid getting caught the next time. You can submit an appeal by visiting the Account Management page and selecting 'Appeal an Offence'. For more information on Offence Appeals, click here.6. What is AFK training?
AFK training is Away From Keyboard training. While you are playing on our games, you must be at the computer. Away-from-keyboard training is not allowed, and you should log out when you leave the computer.
To keep FunOrb enjoyable for everyone, please observe and follow our rules. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned or muted. Members who are banned or muted for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.

Julia Gillard will not call an early election, assuring voters that parliament will run full term and saying she hopes the election year will be less brutal than the events of 2012.
In her final interview for the year, the Prime Minister told FairfaxMedia she had ''a lot of governing to do'' before driving to Government House and requesting the 2013 federal election, which would be ''around three years since the last one'' held on August 24.
Speculation in Canberra that the election would be held as early as March, in the event the polls turned around sharply for Labor who would then capitalise on the numbers, has been rife but Ms Gillard scotched the suggestion out of hand. While she will not name a date she confirmed the poll would be held ''three years'' on from the 2010 election, which would mean she would likely make the trip to Government House in mid-July.
However, Ms Gillard can call an election for a date as late as November 30.
Admitting she faced a tough road balancing the budget with the traditional headline spending commitments of an election year, Ms Gillard said Labor's focus for the next 12 months would be on education, the National Disability Insurance Scheme, creating jobs and placing Australia in the best position to be a ''winner'' in the Asian Century.
''A clear focus of next year will be on the politics of opportunity and strengthening our economy,'' she said.
''But we are only going to be a strong economy in the future if we win the education race, so the work we are doing around school reforms will be absolutely at the heart of our plans.''
Ms Gillard said she was ''determined'' to oversee the rollout of the NDIS and to make sure that all the states embraced the scheme - a pointed remark aimed at Queensland and Western Australia, who are not participating in the trial stages of the $35 billion program.
''I want to be clear on this, there is more for everyone to do to make sure this comes (into operation) right around the nation,'' she said.

Drivers who join CitizenShipper are screened for a variety of criminal offenses and driving incidents. We utilize a reputable leader in screening called Single Source Services to perform our criminal background screening which includes national, county level and sex offender databases. The background screening we utilize is called the 'Discovery National'.
What we look for with the background screening:
The background screening includes a residence trace and returns all names and addresses associated with a social security number, in addition to checking the alias(es) returned through the database and the sex offender data.
Based on the subject's name(s) and date of birth the data returned from the background screening are records from State Departments of Correction, State Record Repositories, County Courts, and sexual predator/violent offenders' databases from all 50 states, DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Although this search has great value, and the volumes and sources of data are increasing almost every day, it is not an FCRA compliant service. The data is not updated after being entered into the database and therefore records could be expunged, sealed, or verdicts could have been appealed.
While we believe that the Discovery National is a good foundational screening tool, it is not an exhaustive statewide search of records, and as such we cannot guarantee 100% effectiveness in screening candidates.×

Vietnamese-Style Tofu Heroes
The Menu: An interesting mixture of recipes inspired by The Conscious Cook! Today's recipes are "inspired by" as opposed to "made from" the book, since—in our typical Friday style—we were running slightly low on ingredients. So, we have the lovely Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, and the Vietnamese-style Tofu Heroes with Asian Slaw, and, finally, a big kale salad. Since we went with whole-wheat bread instead of the requisite baguettes, Elizabeth decided to serve our sammies open-faced, and with chopped basil instead of cilantro, which she pretty much can't stand.
The Goods: First, a big congrats to Debbie! Hers is the winning answer from yesterday's comments. Debbie, send us an email with your full name and mailing address, and we'll send your copy of The Conscious Cook right out. It's with great sadness that we come to the end of this week. It will definitely be difficult to go back to our steady diet of whatever's-in-the-fridge casserole and a-salad-is-like-a-meal-right? salad after totally feasting on the amazing recipes from our Book of the Year Veggie Award winner! So, for the last copy that we'll be giving away, tell us in the comments: Which recipe from this week are you dying to try?!

The med wraps I would definitely have to try. But the first meal would be the Spring roles & Bread. Basil I don't really like but I am interested in making foods in different ways to see if I can find a way that I would like it. And that way sounds really good. Spring roles can be made in so many ways I love to try new ones. And I am still learning to work w. tofu. So any chance I get to try a new glaze I do. But everything sounds super yummy! :)

OMGosh I cannot wait to try the Potato-Leek Soup! I thought a recipe I had from Seattle was great but this sounds even better! My elderly mother often complains about the vegetarian dinners I make us not being hearty enough, and the side is perfect for that! Wholesome and satisfying, seasonal, AND the produce is at the farmer's market. Brilliant!

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Senior outfielder Jon Davis is having a tremendous season for Kansas State as the Juneau, Alaska, native is batting .345 with five home runs, 30 runs scored and 22 RBI. He is also having an impressive season so far in Big 12 play, as he ranks second in on-base percentage (.483), third in slugging percentage (.569) and tied for third in triples (three). His 30 runs scored and five home runs put him in a tie for fifth in both categories within conference play. Davis has already vastly improved on his stats from last season when he hit .316 with just one home run and 15 RBI.
Davis' interest in baseball first began when his father let him play T-ball as a child.
"My father started letting me play T-ball when I was a child. I played a year younger than I was supposed to," Davis said. "Although I played soccer and basketball, baseball was the most intriguing sport for me to pursue and I wanted to play in college. I worked really hard at baseball compared to other sports."
In Alaska, there are long stretches of days when the sun does not set during evenings and when the sun does not rise during mornings. Because of this, baseball was not the only sport Davis enjoyed while growing up.
"I was an active child growing up. I played baseball in the summer, worked with my father on the boat and camped with the friends I grew up with," Davis said. "I had a season pass to go skiing and snowboarding when school was out for the day. There was nothing better to do than snowboard with friends. When people are active up there, the seasons do not matter because there is so much to do."
Davis was also involved with fishing as a child and still is now due to his father being an Alaskan fisherman.
"I drove boats when I was five years old. When I felt the time was right, I started fishing with my father and wanted to make money," Davis said. "I did not want to work in a grocery store because I am not the type that wanted to work inside. I started working with my father when I was 10 or 11 years old. Every summer, I would help him out and keep the family business running. It requires a lot of working and attention to detail."
The baseball team Davis watched the most is arguably one of the most liked and disliked teams in all of sports. His favorite baseball player in some circles is much more liked than his favorite team.
"When it came to baseball, my favorite team was the New York Yankees," Davis said. "They were the team I saw the most in Alaska, and Shane Victorino of the Boston Red Sox is my favorite player. He has a similar style of play that I have."
Once Davis moved to California and attended Vista High School in Vista, Calif., to get noticed by college baseball coaches in the continental United States, there was a major adjustment period involved.
"On the first day of school, I was a loner. My brother actually went to the same high school. I ran into some of his buddies which made it easier to make friends," Davis said. "Some hated me because I made varsity on the second day I was there. When I started playing every day, I had no problems. The lifestyle was different from Alaska to California. I was not into the latest styles and I wore whatever I wanted to. People ended up making fun of me for that."
There was not as much of an adjustment once he transferred from Palomar College in San Marcos, Calif., to Manhattan, Kan., to play for the Wildcats in 2012.
"Alaska is a rural area and California is the big city life. I wanted something different and Manhattan is not too fast of pace for me," Davis said.
Although there was not much of an adjustment period when arriving at K-State, Davis did deal with adversity at the beginning the 2012 season. He may have started out the season with just one hit in his first 18 plate appearances, but he did not let that faze him.
"I had faced a lot more adversity in Alaska than facing a 1-for-18 to start the 2012 season," Davis said. "I was trying too hard to impress the coaches. Eventually, I figured there was nothing else I could do that could go wrong, so I just went out and played. I worked hard every day at the chance to play again."
The ability to not let his dismal start effect him was crucial in allowing him to have a strong finish to his season, while having a big impact on the team. Davis also has had an impact on head coach Brad Hill.
"He defines toughness. He does not move when he gets hit," Hill said. "He is fun to be around and a unique individual, so he will make players smile and laugh. That is part of putting together a team."
Hill knew that Davis would be a fit as soon as he arrived.
"He is a switch hitter, can play in the infield and could play in the outfield," Hill said. "He is a versatile offensive player who was fast, so he fit into our system."
Adapting is the biggest thing Hill believes Davis has improved since coming to K-State.
"The biggest thing he has improved on is his ability to adapt," Hill said. "There are adjustments with the level of play as well as living here. He is someone you like being around and is one of my favorite players. He has done everything I have always asked him to do."
All of Davis' hard work allowed him to be the Big 12 Player of the Week during the week of April 8. While Davis was excited he won the award, he is taking it in stride.
"I hear a lot about it from my teammates but it is just another week to me," Davis said. "I have to keep playing hard and not let that get to my head because it is one week out of a year that I do really well, and it happened to be one week I was recognized. I just want to play hard and do well, and if good things happen, they happen."

I recently had a similar experience. My two year old stashed some in a NEW dress pocket.
Fortunately just a little HOT HOT HOT water and they dissolved and rinsed out. After a few more washes the RED stain on the WHITE dress was completely gone.
So if it gets on anything I'd try that method before anything else.

I always have plant materials in my laundry. Comes from having the laundry room right by the back door and having a landscaper husband. Drives me batty.
Love the zombie look. My baby (2-yr. old, youngest of 5) told me yesterday that "I shoot you and you die." The youngest of a big brood picks up these gems at a tender age, doesn't she?

Thanks for the laugh! I love those camera surprises... although I must say, none of ours have been quite as 'creative'? :D

Those pictures are hilarious!
She is, a blue faced pirate who is half mummy and half ninja. And has an extremely wavy hair so that she can be on the new Aussie hair commercials...;)

I actually appreicate the kids who dressed Brooklyn like this. i think it took a lot of team work and cooperation to create this masterpiece! and Dawn, good job at recognizing that's Brooklyn! For a sec, it did creep me out!

Lol. The pics of Brooklyn remind me of pics I find on my camera from time to time of my kids!

First time commenter, long time reader! Isn't it amazing what we find in the washer and the internal memory of our camera! Love the picture of Brooklyn! Kinda like a smurfy munchkin!

- Frau Mahlzahn said...
;-). Cool pictures.
My two year old, who's sitting on my lap, thinks these pictures are great, she just loves them -- uaaaah, but this is talking about the toddler who picks up a stick from the ground and says: "knive!"

Too funny!! I remember the days. Never knew what color the laundry was going to come out on any given day, nevermind what was going to come out with it if you didn't go through it with a fine-toothed comb first. Then heaven forbid one of the kids toys get destroyed in the wash..OMG!!! Who's to blame for that one? Oh yes, I remember the days and I remember them all too well, with all four of my kids.

Too funny ... I have an old picture of my son, who was about three at the time. His sister and her friend had dressed him up as a ballerina, complete with high heels and a fairy princess wand (kind of the reverse of your 'evil' dress up story! lol.)
I see blackmail in his future.

- Michelle said...
Wow, that's a pretty impressive haul -- but at least you're getting paid! ;)
So does a Nintendo game survive being washed?
Also, may I recommend checking clothes for stickers? The chiro gives the wee ones stickers each time we go, and only about 20% of the time do the wee ones take them off before putting them in the wash. A washed sticker on clothing is a nightmare. The sticky gunk NEVER comes off. *sigh*

Hah, well Iv made a point now to check all pockets in my laundry...otherwise certain things might get ruined. The husband is notorious for leaving pens in his pocket.

My kids are 20 and 11 and I've mostly got them trained to empty their pockets. Mostly. My 42 year old brother, however, was here a few weeks ago and did a load of his laundry. When he left I found his spare car key and a wad of wet kleenex in the machine. I'm guessing it never really gets better.

ROFL. That picture is hilarious! Too too funny. Thanks for the giggle. :)
- May 19, 2009 at 8:39 AM
LOL!!!! I only have 3 kids but I find all kinds of fun things in the washer and dryer and of course they usually say it is not theirs! Unless of course it is rocks then that was the rock they picked up to add to the million others they have in their "collection"!!! I have washed a DS game once and we waited for it to dry out and put it in the game and it still works. Indiana Jones just needed a good washing!!! LOL

i just read the section of your book with the disposable diapers in the wash, so this post got me laughing again. i can't even imagine dealing with all those little gel balls. its bad enough trying to wipe them off a baby's bottom when i've let them stay in one diaper a little too long! thanks for the laughs!
- May 19, 2009 at 11:09 AM
I constantly find little rocks in my machine. My son has a playground at school with rocks covering it. he "collects" them.
That picture is freaking hilarious!

Something mysterious was knocking around in my dryer today, and I don't even WANT to know what it was. And to think, I only have a husband to deal with! I can't imagine the treasure trove you get in your dryer every week.

What I think is the most precious is that you could tell which kid it is....mine did stuff like this and I had to identify the kid on the old camera by the furniture and color of the walls....sigh

- Stephanie said...
The zombie child is soooo funny! I was laughing out loud!! That is priceless! You need to keep that for when Brooklyn starts dating! ha ha!
I have been getting pull ups in the wash lately! Talk about gross! I have had rocks, paper, gum, lipstick, video games, toys, etc, etc! But there is nothing worse than a pull up! UGH!
- May 19, 2009 at 9:07 PM
- Robin said...
That is the funniest picture of Brooklyn. I can imagine a smile from ear to ear under that mask!
Did any fruit snacks escape and make it in to the dryer? I sure hope not!!
- May 19, 2009 at 9:38 PM
- DeeAnne said...
You clearly asked the wrong question... the question was not who had them in their pocket. The question was who stashed them in the laundry hamper!

Oh my Goodness-- those pictures are HILARIOUS (and a little bit freaky all at the same time)!!!! Did you not just crack up so bad when you saw them??? Thanks for the laugh!
PS- I find the strangest things in my laundry, too- and most of it doesn't make sense either.
- May 19, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Maybe the dryer magically turns those missing socks into fruit snacks.

I LOVE IT when my kids steal the camera and later I find all sorts of odd photos on the memory card.
Still laughing as I think of Brooklyn's photo. did you even know it was her? And I'm very impressed at the other kids ace bandange wrapping skills. Have they had first aid training? My last ER doctor didn't even do as good a job as Brooklyn has on her legs!
Oh, belated thanks for the book i won in your last give a way :) . I got it, Jumped once for joy, then made my confused husband take pictures of me opening the package and smelling it to see if Chicago smelled different. (which it did not) I'm enjoying you book SLOWLY, because I don't want it to end...it's like group thereapy for mothers of big families :)
Love ya Dawn! Hope you're over the cold/flu.
- May 26, 2009 at 8:57 PM
In reference to the person who left the candy in the pocket. That would be your seventh child, "NOT ME". :)

You know, if you checked the pockets before you put stuff in the washing machine, this wouldn't happen. ;-) If I had checked the pockets of my kids' pockets recently, I wouldn't have washed the new neato Star Trek toy that came in the Rice Krispies (not that we ever eat cereal for breakfast -- I *always* cook from scratch), the merit badge card that had all the signatures on it so my son can get that merit badge (yeah, now, he can get it right after he does everything all over again) and the Speed Racer Mach 5 which came out the best of all the items. BTW, email me if you ever want to know how to remove melted crayon from your dryer drum. I full of good advice on that one too.

Thrown into this mixture of loneliness and monetary require was aggravation, aggravation that once i did start marketing my therapeutic massage company within the therapeutic solutions segment of Craigslist, all anybody appeared to want was intercourse. I used to be indignant. I regarded as myself a healer. I'd absent to therapeutic massage college. I'd researched a number of therapeutic modalities and been praised by my customers as becoming terribly gifted. I could remedy sciatica and relieve anxiousness. I could soothe PMS and improve cervical mobility. I just needed a couple of great normal customers. I'd by no means blended my therapeutic massage function with something remotely sexual.Nor experienced I at any time a lot as glanced in the erotic solutions segment of Craigslist. But 1 working day it arrived to my interest that a lot of �providers� who ought to happen to be submitting within the erotic solutions segment had been submitting within the therapeutic segment. I wrote to Craig Newmark. He graciously responded. He certain me that Craigslist could be much more vigilant in getting rid of misplaced advertisements. But for a few purpose, following that, I stored taking a look at the erotic solutions segment. Some thing experienced snapped. I by no means might have anticipated it, but studying the advertisements experienced started to show me on.
I just wish to pause right here (partly simply because I'm able to currently listen to the voices of my detractors as well as simply because I do not wish to seem insensitive to any human struggling). I understand that I�m a privileged, educated lady who might have carried out a lot of things to get a residing, but opted to complete intercourse function mostly since it was thrilling to me. I understand there are ladies who get it done reluctantly and from requirement. I understand there are also ladies who're pressured into performing it. I understand that violence towards intercourse employees and certainly towards all ladies is really a genuine risk along with a darkish disgrace. Nevertheless, this piece isn't about that; this really is about me.

Las Vegas was OK, I say ok because it seemed too short, lol; AND I lost $80. That's like 4 MAC eyeshadows and an MSF! HAHA.
Unfortunately, I was not able to go to the MAC PRO store because we didn't have enough time (as we were also with Jon's family), and I really wanted to go! Not sure if Fafi was being released early at ALL the MAC PRO stores (as someone asked), but I will be attending the release party this Sunday February 10th at Topanga Westfield, so stop by if you can! I was a bit sad I wasn't able to go, but there is a PRO store in Beverly Hills, so I just might make a trip down there this weekend with Anne. :)
I ended up just buying: MAC Chromeglass in "Auto de Femme" (reddish dark pink color), MAC Lipglass in "Negligee" (purple with shimmer), MAC Pigment in "Night Light"(gorgeous green), Blush in "Margin", and "Mancatcher" eyeshadow (gorgeous purple, reminds me of "Beautiful Iris"). All that for $66!
"Margin" Blush:
"Mancatcher" Eyeshadow:
Swatches of the "Auto de Femme" (red gloss) and "Negligee":
This is how I packed for Vegas, deliberating what things I need for only 2 days HAHA... (click to ENLARGE)
Ended up bringing my overnight bag and another bag!
Here are some displays of the NYX they sell at the store downstairs from my work (big to show detail):
Closer look:
And they have the premium brushes there too!

Hi Vanessa!
You are so lucky! Is the skunk brush the one that's named "brush flat top" on nyx website?
Have you tried it?
- February 4, 2008 at 1:57 PM
- Alice said...
Oh wow that is a huge display of NYX!!! There isn't any NYX products sold around me so I would have to buy them online but I am skeptical about doing that cause some of the swatch colors on the website are weird looking. Then again I guess I can just search for swatches online that people have done (like you! =]) There's a CCO in the Philadelphia Premium Outlets that just opened up so I'm gonna have to take a trip there and expand my makeup collection hehe. I hope you had a good weekend!
- February 4, 2008 at 2:04 PM
- Xuan Kristy said...
Wow, I never saw so many NYX products before. hahaha. The only place I can get it from here is ULTA. They have such a tiny selection.
Hmm that looks like a nice blush color. What blush do you recommend?

- Ethereal Prey said...
omg that is a HUGE NYX display! Give me directions to where that store is! I wonder how their pricing is like though. Here in nyc it just sucks where one has to hunt for Nyx and only find a shadow here or a blush there. never together sigh...

- Mrs. Lynne said...
Hi sis!! I missed you too! Glad you're back :)
NYX looks huge when they display it like that. My store does them in rows rather than side by side. A definitely more condensed version, lol. But I see that they even have little color cards (or actual tester products?) under which we don't have. So I have to peel the stickers to swatch 'em ;)
I think Hubbo would have killed me if I brought as much as you did to Vegas, lol. He probably would have said something like "where do you think you're going for TWO DAYS?!" loloollolol.
Oh I wish I can CCO haul. One day Lynne, one day...
Have a great week sis!!

hi vanessa, i'm a fairly new reader to your blog and i want to say that i pretty much check your page multiple times a day (lol, no i'm not a stalker). i just really love your in-depth reviews of products and helpful tips. i've only recently gotten "into" makeup and from reading your previous posts, i've been introduced to so many things i had never even heard of before (i.e. everyday minerals, silk naturals, etc). thank you for taking time to do this blog as i find every post very helpful and entertaining as do other people, i bet.
p.s. i don't know if this is a dumb question but is NYX pronounced as N-Y-X or like the basketball team Knicks?
thank you from your new fan, Maha G. =)

Welcome back Vanessa! Great CCO haul. I love Negligee lipglass and Nightlight pigment and I'm sure you will too! Nightlight is a great liner, if you haven't already tried it as one. I didn't know NYX made a premium brush line! Then again, NYX is hard to find here - only seems to be at this one grocery store chain.
- February 4, 2008 at 9:49 PM

Awesome. I'll have to check that store out whenever I'm in the area. If only to touch the brushes in person!

to answer a couple of the questions i saw, i remember pursebuzz had reviewed a few of the nyx pro brushes and had mentioned that the B12 is a great dupe for a 217 brush. also, im pretty sure its pronounced niks rather than n.y.x. since it was named after greek mythology. plus it says on the front page of their site :P

Thank you MAHA! (and the rest of you gorgeous ladies!)
It can be pronounced either way in my opinion, Nicks (Nyx) or N.Y.X. even though it's really Nyx (pronounced Nicks) like Che mentioned after the greek goddess.

hehe yeah even though it's "properly" pronounced 'niks' i still say n.y.x.... and to correct myself, the B12 was actually compared to the 224, not the 217... sorry! http://pursebuzz.com/?p=593

December 27, 2011—WASHINGTON—The Koshland Science Museum invites teens and adults to interact with the issues through its winter programs.
The series begins Jan. 26 with a game scenario where players work in teams to contain the outbreak of an infectious disease affecting global health. In March, the Koshland Science Museum and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences present a lively science café about the science of sleep.
In addition to evening programs, the Koshland Science Museum offers hands-on weekend activities. Bounce around the carbon cycle during the Martin Luther King Day holiday weekend. Then, visit the museum over the Presidents' Day holiday to test recall ability using memory boxes. This activity acts as a preview to the Life Lab, opening March 3.
Advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended for evening programs. All programs are held at the Koshland Science Museum, 525 E St., N.W.
Evening Programs
Pandemic! Game Night
Thursday, Jan. 26, 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
In this game scenario, play the role of a public health specialist during the outbreak of a global pandemic. Develop a cure and a means to deliver it to the world population before the outbreak turns into an international health crisis. Admission: $10/$7 students.
Science Cafe: The Science of Sleep
Wednesday, March 14, 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Discover the role sleep plays in helping us lead healthy, productive lives. If we need it so badly, why don't we prioritize it or talk about it with our physicians or in a public health context? This interactive discussion is co-sponsored by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences as part of the "Science Buzz" series. Admission: $10/$7 students.
Hands-On Science
Bouncing Around the Carbon Cycle
Saturday, Jan. 14 - Monday, Jan. 16, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
All life forms are carbon-based, but few of us think about carbon's movements around the world. Using ping pong balls and poster board, see how carbon moves through the Earth's system and how humans are affecting this cycle. Admission: included with ticket purchase.
Memory Boxes
Saturday, Feb. 18 - Monday, Feb. 20, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Test your ability to recall common objects collected in small boxes. Then, develop strategies to improve your memory. Admission: included with ticket purchase.
