This colorful salad travels well for a nutritious and portable lunch.
A mixture of ricotta, spinach and ground beef makes this classic baked pasta dish particularly satisfying. Grass-fed beef is rich and flavorful, so cooking with even a small amount makes a big impact.
This colorful salad is as delicious as it is beautiful. It's an excellent side dish, or pair it with bread and cheese for a terrific light meal.
Here's an easy baked pasta dish that gets big flavor from lentils. Canned lentils are particularly convenient, but you can also cook your own from scratch — you'll need 1 1/2 cups cooked, drained and cooled lentils for this recipe.
Turn everyone's favorite holiday drink into a rich (and amazingly simple) dessert. With just six ingredients, this pie comes together in minutes. Use a store-bought crust or make with your own personal favorite single crust recipe.
A simple, fresh and flavorful treatment for swordfish.
These nachos are terrific for snacking, but they're also satisfying enough to serve as a main course. A chopped jalapeño gives them a nice bit of heat; you can omit it for a milder dish or double the amount for a fiery treat.
Coating a pie crust in chocolate adds decadent flavor and helps keep the crust from getting soggy. This easy-to-make pie can be prepared ahead of time.
This simple dish of baked fish topped with a fresh citrus-herb salt mixture can be easily prepared on a weeknight. Serve with brown or wild rice and a green salad.
Combining tropical papaya and kiwi with fresh berries and melon makes this fruit salad just right for a nutrient-rich dessert or a wonderful breakfast along with whole grain pancakes.
This light salad entrée pairs smoked ham with crisp cabbage, savory green onions and sweet carrots in a salad base of whole grain barley. Mustard and shallots add depth and spice to the fresh vinaigrette dressing.
This pasta dish will soon become a family favorite. In a hurry? Use a cup of thawed frozen spinach instead of fresh; just be sure to squeeze it well to remove any excess water. Serve with garlic bread and a fresh salad for a complete meal.
There are endless variations on this soup, but the main elements are meatballs and greens. In our recipe, we make meatballs of ground beef and pork, and we add plenty of fresh herbs and kale for the green component.
The mildly sweet flavor of wakame, which is a good source of dietary fiber and potassium, combines with mushrooms and crunchy broccoli in this Asian inspired medley. After being soaked then sautéed, the wakame becomes silky with a hint of chewiness.
Serve this dish simply with toasted pita or spoon it over brown rice. It is a hearty, spicy meal to warm a cold winter's night.
Moist and dense in texture, the bread includes wholesome ingredients, such as oats and fresh banana, and is easy to prepare and very adaptable, accommodating your choice of chopped nuts or dried fruit in place of the cranberries.

Hotel dość tani i czysty. Pokoje malutkie, brak szafy, jedzenie dobre. Położenie nie najlepsze- daleko do metra, żadnych sklepów w okolicy. Darmowy internet tylko w holu i na piątym piętrze. Ogólnie hotel godny polecenia.

Considered the central business district, Central is home to the corporate headquarters of multinational financial services, consulates-general, and Hong Kong government and administrative offices. The area is also a major transport hub for buses, trains, trams, and ferries. Head to Hollywood Road for antiques and trinkets, and Soho for bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and galleries.

Third stay at the Mercer and once again a great trip. Good quiet location, comfy rooms and a reasonable price for the edge of Central.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Comfy and quiet"
The Mercer Boutique is a quiet refuge in the heart of Hong Kong. Convenient to Soho and the rest of Central - including my office and countless great restaurants. The in-room wifi worked great and the free mini bar was well-stocked. The room was very comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was just average but service was good.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

Very spacious rooms with a little kitchen area / big fridge, stylish decor and beautiful bathroom with big shower area. Appreciated the different lighting options (indirect light, but also good reading lights) and having a cordless phone that can also be used as speaker phone. There's a small gym with two treadmills.

my wife and I stayed 6 nights. bed superb. all mod cons. brilliant quite expensive, though, any accommodation in HK costs an arm/leg. Staff very helpful. last 2 days I went down with a gastro problem and confined to bed/toilet. The assistant manager actually made me some toast himself, as I couldn't handle solid food.

"Quality boutique hotel in the Sheung Wan District"
Delightful, new boutique hotel in the heart of the Sheung Wan District, so very convenient to the Central area and 2 minutes walk from Sheung Wan MTR station. Very helpful staff both at the front desk and the breakfast staff. Buffet breakfast has a wide choice, both hot and cold. This is a hotel on a narrow piece of land ( like all of this district), […] so it does not have the expanses of the larger hotel chains and the extra facilities they provide, but the rooms, and suites in particular have excellent facilities all top quality fittings and beautiful, comfortable beds and pillows, with top quality linen and bathroom toiletteries etc. In summary, quality, convenience and price.

"Fantastic Boutique Hotel in Sheung Wan"
I came to HK for surgery and was looking for a reasonable place for a week stay on HK Island. The hotel location is great, just 2 blocks from Sheung Wan MTR in the middle of lots of little shops and restaurants and 1 block off Queens Rd. The location is just a 15 minute walk from Central and Soho Districts, where there is lots of night life and shopping. -Hotel […] staff was excellent, attending to all requests, including special pillows and respecting the Do Not Disturb Sign. -The room was clean and well appointed, the breakfast buffet was small but comprehensive. Overall I was extremely pleased with the hotel, they even understood that I would need a little more quiet for recovery and moved us to a higher floor to be away from the street noise. I highly recommend the Mercer, we were very happy. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Neighbourhood with character"
The hotel was excellent. Nice clean room with a comfortable bed. The free WiFi is great. So was the free mini bar which was restocked daily although I was quite modest in what I took from the fridge. The cost of providing this to guests must be fairly reasonable (not everyone is a drunk) but it's such a pleasant change to the overpriced mini bars of […] most hotel rooms. I didn't watch much TV but my impression was that it focused mainly on daily current affairs and business news. The hotel is small and "tall", but hey this is Hong Kong. Breakfast was quite fine and the management were friendly and efficient. I loved the neighbourhood which has traditional character and cheap eats although Pizza Hut and Starbucks is only around the corner. Easy walk to the trams but I walked it into Central a few times without any problems. Would love to stay there again. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

The room was clean and comfortable in the middle of the bustling city. The location was great for people who are looking to walk and take the subway around the city however bear in mind there are a lot of uphill walks and narrow streets to get there.

"Stylish alternative to high-end chains"
I liked this hotel a lot. I was looking for somewhere within walking distance of Exchange Sq, and decided to try this boutiquey hotel in Sheung Wan, an unfamiliar but up-and-coming part of town. Space is so scarce in HK - the lobby is tiny - but they make the most of it in the rooms. The style is classic boutique hotel - dark wood, shiny florals. The […] breakfast buffet was WAY better than I expected, good fresh orange juice and coffee too - not at all what I've come to expect from smallish hotels. I was sorry not to have left myself enough time to enjoy it properly. I'd book it again. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

"Very good hotel for business traveler."
Great find. I've stayed at Mandarin and Ritz in HK before - but for business purposes this is as good as I've found at a reasonable price. Pros: - reasonable price - great location - decent size room (for HK) - nice small gym - free mini-bar and wifi only 3 small issues that are more of a nuisance than anything: - no mirror over the sink. Mirror was […] a few paces away - made for a pain shaving. Note that other rooms might be set up differently however. - adjustable shower head is set too low on the wall to stand under - bathroom sink should have on/off handles and not be motion activated. was difficult to get it to activate at times (again - more of a pain to shave).

"A Smaller Hong Kong"
This is more of a service apartment than hotel. There are very few common parts , only a rather clinical breakfast room, and a small pool area. It is in a very convenient part of central Hong Kong , the staff were welcoming and friendly and the room was fine , we were offered the chance to upgrade to a "Suite " and it had a tiny kitchen and dining area […] , so would have been good if we had wanted to eat snacks or take aways , but I think it was expensive for what it offered .having said that Hong kong hotels are expensive .

Great services - free wifi, free minibar, free breakfast - all appreciated from a traveler standpoint.

From the minute we walked we walked in until we left, we were delightfully surprised about the luxury of the hotel ad the fine service we received from all staff.

The breakfast, served until 11 am, was varied, generous and delicious. While walking the neighborhood looking for a restaurant for dinner, we came across a delightful French chicken rotisserie take-out.

Mercer is a small hotel and not located on big street. However, the hotel is very clean with fantastic decoration.

Nicely appointed and for HK well sized, modern rooms. Inclusion of a kitchenette was a pleasant surprise. Good wifi, breakfast and mini bar all included in price, a nice touch.

Training and Awareness Vital to Helping Minimize Risk
ROSELAND, N.J., Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 80 regional small business owners, accounting professionals, and other advisors convened yesterday at the second annual Small Business Summit on Security, Privacy, and Trust, co-hosted by ADP®. Attendees learned from cyber security experts about ways they can better safeguard data relating to their business, employees, and clients.
As part of its commitment to National Cyber Security Month, ADP, a leading provider of human resource, payroll and benefits solutions, co-hosted the summit in partnership with the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), Microsoft®, ESET, the Council of Better Business Bureaus, the William Paterson University Small Business Development Center, and the Passaic County, New Jersey Department of Economic Development.
James Mottola, U.S. Secret Service Special Agent in Charge and a presenter at the summit, said: "Small businesses are particularly vulnerable to cyber attacks because they often do not have the resources or expertise to protect themselves from increasingly sophisticated cybercrimes. Small businesses must be diligent to maintain their security to ensure commerce can continue with the fewest interruptions."
"Ninety three percent of American adults say they've had no computer security training in the past twelve months," added Stephen Cobb, senior security researcher with ESET and summit presenter. "Education and communication are vital to building awareness. A well-trained workforce can significantly help avert or minimize the impact of fraudulent activities and can also help a small business gain a competitive advantage."
Ben Steinberg, chief information officer of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, recommended small business owners engrain safety into all facets of their organization. "With the right planning, small business owners can build a culture of security and can also influence others by holding their vendors and partners to those same standards," Steinberg said.
Roland Cloutier, vice president and chief security officer at ADP, noted: "It is important for small business owners and their advisors to understand their vulnerabilities and to leverage technology to help protect themselves and the data others have entrusted to them. It is a privilege to partner with such elite security experts to help small businesses understand and navigate cyber risks."
Through its commitment to corporate social responsibility, ADP often invites students, business owners, clients, and other members of society to diverse educational events, including programs like this summit designed to raise awareness about cyber security.

Sunshine Daydream |
I'm a down home girl from the Great State of Tennessee. I live in Virginia with my Sailor. I love to sip a brew on a sunny day and dig my toes into the grass. I hula hoop when the sun shines, to the music, or just when I am feeling lonely. This life is beautiful. And I plan to dance my way through it. |

Chevy Impala 2006-2010, Exact Fit Hybrid Wiper Blade by TRICO®. With a high-strength polymer shell, these hybrid blades cant choke up with frozen sleet and stop working. No additional adapters needed. Dont squint and slow down just because its raining. Replace those funky old wiper blades with a new TRICO® Exact Fit blade.
- High-strength polymer shell safeguards blade and provides optimum contact pressure
- Superior all-weather performance
- Shell prevents mud or dirt from jamming blade as well
- Wiper blade size available in lengths from 14" to 28"
- Easy to install
- Pre-assembled for quick and easy wiper replacement every time
- Restore vision during marginal weather
- OEM fit, form and function
- Designed to fit unique integral rear wiper arms
TRICOs Hybrid blades combine the consistent windshield contact and aerodynamic, snow-shedding qualities of a beam blade. A highly-engineered polymer shell protects the spring-loaded superstructure, ensuring that the linkages remain clean and flexible. A frozen blade can no longer curve to follow the windshield, leaving you with annoying, dangerous gaps in the swept area. Bonus: the shell also keeps mud, road grit and salt from mechanically jamming the linkage, so its not all about snowy days.
TRICO® Exact Fit replacement blades make it easy to restore your vehicle to original factory quality. Made from the finest quality natural rubber and high-strength steel, they offer long-lasting performance. The American Optometric Association reports that 90 percent of your driving decisions are based on visibility. TRICO® wants drivers to know just how critical it is to change wiper blades regularly.
Wiper blades have a tough day, even when its not raining. They sit on a hot windshield, out in the sun with its degrading UV radiation. They have to wipe off not only water, but also road grit, corrosive washer fluid and salt water from road salt. While the natural rubber from which blades are made provides the most flexible and resilient edge for wiping across glass, it eventually dries out and deteriorates. The rubber can become warped by heat or made brittle by cold. Modern windshields are curved, forcing the blade arm to articulate every swipe. A worn-out blade not only loses its sharp, rain-squeegeeing edge, it gets hard and wont sweep the glass properly. Conventional blades have multiple joints between the superstructure and the wiping element that can corrode and freeze, further restricting mobility, and leaving you with streaks.
The most sure-fire cure is a blade replacement, and its the simplest one, too. TRICO® blades are easy to install and fit your arms in exactly the same fashion as the OEM blades.
15.69Brand: TRICO Part Numbers: A collision on a rainy night in 1917 between a National Roadster and a bicycle (which fortunately didnt injure either the cyclist or the Roadster) spawned an industry. Soon, the Tri-Continental Corporation introduced the first commercial windshield wiper. TRICO, now a subsidiary of cooling system giant Stant, is one of the worlds leading manufacturers of windshield wiper blades, wiper systems and refills, with a large portion of both the aftermarket and OEM business..

When a gunman opened fire inside a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school Friday, he cut short 26 lives. Six women who worked at Sandy Hook Elementary were killed, in addition to 20 students -- 12 girls and eight boys.
Here are details about their lives:
Charlotte Bacon, 6
Charlotte was sweet, outgoing and full of energy, her grandmother told CNN affiliate WCCO in Minnesota.
"This is tough. This is surreal. You can't believe this could happen," Irene Hagen told the station. "The whole family is just devastated and we're all trying to come to terms with it."
She said her granddaughter loved school and dresses. Her hair was a mass of beautiful red curls.
"It's horrible. It's really horrible," Hagen told WCCO. "It's hard to believe that someone would kill children, innocent children."
Daniel Barden, 7
Daniel earned his missing two front teeth, his family used to say. His "fearless" pursuit of happiness and life also earned him ripped jeans.
"Despite that, he was, as his mother said, 'Just So Good,' " his family wrote in a statement published in the New Haven Register.
Taking after his musician dad, he and his siblings -- brother James and sister Natalie -- formed a band, in which he played drums.
He loved to ride waves at the beach and make s'mores around bonfires with his cousins.
"He embodied everything that is wholesome and innocent in the world," the family said.
Rachel D'Avino, 29
She likely didn't know it when she died, but her best friend was about to propose.
He had recently asked D'Avino's parents for permission, and he was planning to ask for her hand in marriage on Christmas Eve.
That and other details about D'Avino's life were described in an obituary posted on the website of Munson-Lovetere Funeral Homes of Connecticut.
"Her presence and tremendous smile brightened any room she entered," it read.
Born in Waterbury, she received her undergraduate degree from the University of Hartford and her master's from Post University. She was working toward her doctorate at the University of St. Joseph of Hartford.
Rachel loved karate, cooking, animals, photography and her two younger siblings.
"Her passion, however, was her occupation as a behavioral therapist working with children within the autism spectrum," the obituary read.
In lieu of flowers, it asked that donations be made to Autism Speaks, an advocacy organization.
Olivia Engel, 6
Her favorite stuffed animal was a lamb; pink and purple were her favorite colors.
Olivia's family posted a statement on Facebook with those and other details about their beloved daughter.

A Community of Exceptional Nurses
AACN Certification Corporation has contacted the State Boards of Nursing in all 50 states to request recognition of the ACNPC certification exam for acute care nurse practitioners. This recognition can be either by:
Like any new provider of an advanced practice certification exam used as a proxy measure for APRN licensure or designation, AACN Certification Corporation will need to be approved on a state-by-state basis. We are currently in the process of seeking approval from individual boards of nursing.
Please check with your state board of nursing to make sure that ACNPC exam certification meets your state's requirements for advanced practice designation or licensure.
The following states have approved the ACNPC exam:
Alaska Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut District of Columbia Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Iowa Kansas
Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming
Although ACNPC certification is not required in the following states, the credential provides an opportunity for advanced practice nurses to further enhance and validate their skills and knowledge, as well as allowing for reimbursement for services provided by Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).
All nurses intending to use the ACNPC to obtain AP licensure in their state should check with their State Board of Nursing for specific licensing requirements before sitting for the exam, including those practicing in the states listed above.
Although not every Board of Nursing has the statutory authority to establish or approve an advanced practice category, we are continuing to monitor legislation in those states.
Pressure from managed care groups, reimbursement issues and the desire to conform to the same practices as neighboring states all have had some degree of effect on the move toward the regulation of advanced practice.
Look for future updates, and please let us know of any new advanced practice activities in your home states.

Operation Enduring Freedom is hitting close to home. Saturday, more than 100 heartland soldiers left for a year long deployment to Afghanistan. 120 Missouri National Guard soldiers got a hero's welcome as they walked onto the Hugh Calvin Dunn football field full of family and friends. "At this point, the soldiers are excited, motivated and dedicated as soldiers and ready to go," said Capt. McClellan H. Gaono-Taises, the 1438th commander.
For 12 months the Macon-based 1438 Engineer Company has been preparing for its departure for a year long deployment to southern Afghanistan. Captain Gaono said the departure ceremony means a lot to the troops. "It's very important, because 90 percent of the soldiers in this company are from the local area here in Macon and Kirksville, and so what you'll see is the community involvement in the departure ceremony such as this one and the excitement and adrenaline rush it means a lot to the soldiers," Gaono said. "They get to see their community witness them being sent off to another country."
Jeff Daniels, of Kirksville, came to send his son off Grant Daniels. "I'm very proud and yet I'm kind of apprehensive too," Daniels said. There are 470 Missouri soldiers deployed in Afghanistan with the Missouri National Guard.
Gaono has been in service for 17 years and this is his first tour to Afghanistan and also, his first as commander. "I'm pretty excited," he said. "There's a lot of stress behind it. Making sure the soldiers are squared away, the training that they conduct is complete, but yeah I'm excited. There are days where it's pretty stressful, because I'm not worried about myself … I'm worried about everyone in the company. I'm excited just have to stay motivated."
The majority of the troops time will be spend tearing down bridges and preparing them for shipment back to the U.S. The ceremony ended with the Patriot Guard Riders escorting the soldier's buses from the school.
Operation Enduring Freedom is part of the U. S. commitment to pull out of Afghanistan by next year.

"Loved this product but, as with all printing jobs for contrasty black and white images, i wish i would have lightened the image up a bit, the printing came out a bit darker than i would have liked but I should have known better."
"Loved how my announcement turned out. The paper quality of the cards and envelopes were excellent. The long shape of the card, I feel, made it unique."
"I love this announcement. The paper quality is a nice weight and the colors are vibrant. We mixed black and white photos and color. We used one color photo of baby and whole family and the rest black and white. The combination really looked nice."
"The site was easy to use and the result is amazing. I love the cards that were created and I felt like the site was super user friendly even adding pictures to the announcement was easy."
"Love this card and it came out so well. We especially loved that it included all the birth stats on the front, and in such a clean way. It makes it very easy to add to our baby book with all his info. Our fam and friends loved it too!"

Forums >Gears and Wears>How do you carry your cell phone during runs?
Not my usual look
What big eyes and mouth your phone has.
It's got a 2px camera and a 1px display.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject.
i put mine in my foreskin, it fits snuggly between the inflatable-raft and distress flares.obviously...I'M KIDDING!! never put an inert electrical device next to combustible flares, you're only asking for disaster if you do.
they've created a shoe made out of Lego, so when you step on Lego, it doesn't hurt.
you just get taller.
Man, you had me worried.
Hobby Jogger Especial!
Thanks for suggesting this, Ilene. Placed an order for the flipbelt this morning!
Flip Belt! http://flipbelt.com/
Flip Belt!
just a simple cat
You'll love it..pockets all around...and it doesn't bounce at all.
Run Like a Mother
I have the double pocket Spibelt with the race bib clips. If the weather looks like it might rain I put my phone and key fob in ziploc bags and carry in the Spibelt. I really like it, but I am intrigued by the flipbelt. Wondering if anything ever falls out of them? I like the zippered pockets of my Spibelt.
I've carried my smart phone, mp3 player, 3 e-gels and my car fob with no problem, and I don't even flip the belt over. The opening is in the center (vertically) of the belt, so if you put something in there it will just sink down to the bottom and should have no tendency to work it self up and out of the opening. But one can always flip the belt for added security.
Thanks, llene. I'll have to try this.
OCD If you don't laugh ...
Team Booger
Spibelt over here too.
Got my flipbelt yesterday.
I should have ordered smaller, I got the XL and L to wear on my hips. The material is very stretchy. I'll be sending the XL back for a M. I should have gone with their size chart rather than a measuring tape.
Wore it on my 4 mile run yesterday and didn't even know it was there. Very comfortable.
Definitely two thumbs up.
Thanks, Ilene!!
I am glad Shadow38!
It's always something..
www.runningskirts.com has running skirts with 2 side pockets. They are big enough for a cell or an iPod. But the top sticks out above the pocket a little.
iFitness running belt. To me, they copied Spibelt but made it better.
Thanks for the recommendation. I picked one up and am very happy with it.
I got my wife a flipbelt and it seems like it's okay, but I like the iFitness belt better. I really am liking not wearing the arm pocket anymore.

2013 Goal #2 - Run my age in 10K. 44:51 on 9/14/13!
Got mine last week.
I used it for my 24 hour race this past weekend. Not for a cell phone but for ID, credit cards and $.
I hate to leave that stuff in my purse in the car when parked at races or what ever.
I didn't even notice it. Stayed nice and flat. Unlike the ifitness belt I have used in the past for the same purpose.
Im a new convert to flip belt. I love it! My spibelt bothered me, thiis goes unnoticed. They also have excellent customer service. I have an XL and I'm pretty sure I need a large. They sent me a return label to return it and get a large, no questions or hassle, even though I've worn the XL for a HM.

It's your brain, Laureys tells you
Laureys strongly disagrees. "There is no evidence there can be conscious experience without brain activity," he said.
Lying in your hospital bed, you have become a true believer, and you are happier for it.
But your brain never died, the doctor tells you. You were in a coma. Perhaps your heart stopped for a while; maybe it didn't. But that's not even necessary to have an out-of-body experience.
"Many individuals having had NDEs were not physically in danger of death suggesting that the perception, on its own, of the risk of death seems to be important in eliciting NDEs," the study said.
It's enough just to think you're dying to have one.
The American Psychological Association concurs. It defines near-death experiences as "profound psychological events with transcendental and mystical elements, typically occurring to individuals close to death or in situations of intense physical or emotional danger."
In the case of coma patients, the brain producing the NDE may be functioning minimally, but it is still alive, Laureys hypothesized. He said one can stimulate certain parts of the brain to produce single elements of the experience.
It's a vivid hallucination, Laureys' report surmises. "It was a normal brain activity that produced their extraordinary perceptions."
Needs more research
Though the results of his studies were marked and consistent, the Belgian research team has tested only a small number of patients so far.
And it has not been able to scan brain images of patients having NDEs to get hard data on the hypothesis of the physiological nature of the experience.
Laureys' research alone is not enough. He wants to see more scientists get involved. As a doctor, he feels it's the compassionate thing for them to do.
Too many people have the experience for serious researchers to ignore it, he said, and a lot of people are afraid that their consciousness will linger long after they pass away, making them witnesses to whatever happens to their bodies.
"The public is historically afraid to be buried alive," Laureys said. "People are afraid to sign up as organ donors." They are scared they may have to watch them being extracted from their bodies.
There are more than enough spiritual models for NDEs, he said -- and superstitious ones. "There are a lot of crazy explanations out there."
It's high time for more hard science, Laureys said. A high percentage of his coma patients report having had NDEs, and he believes many of us go through these "afterlife" experiences when we die.
Laureys doesn't want to speculate on the existence of heaven or hell, but he does say that only a small minority of near-death experiences are horrifying. Most of them are pleasant and uplifting.
From his accounts, it sounds like more people go to "heaven" than to "hell."

San Francisco leaders are supporting the 10th anniversary. According to Mayor Edwin M. Lee, "I applaud Green Festival on its tenth anniversary of bringing together key environmental thought leaders and the best in green economy innovations." Supervisor John Avalos of the Board of Supervisors commented, "We welcome Green Festival back to San Francisco, it's a great event to bring your families."

"By bringing together all the parts of the next economy—the green economy—the Green Festivals follow the core principle of Mother Nature: unity of diversity," says Green Festival co-founder Kevin Danaher. "Instead of waiting for elites to reform the economy from the top down, we are constructing a new economic model from the grassroots up."
"Whether you go to shop, learn, or experience art and music, Green Festival has it all, it's a great place to celebrate what's working in our communities and find the sustainable solutions that fit your lifestyle," says Denise Hamler, Green Festival Director.

Favorite Civil War Subject and Why? Less than a year ago I went from knowing almost nothing about the Civil War (and not really caring), to being intensely interested in a lot of parts of the War--even to the events leading up to it and afterward. So, I've asked myself many, many times...Why? How did it captivate me so much and, specifically, why some parts more than others ? And why some people more than others ? I took a couple of days to answer this post because I wanted to think about it I share what I have decided are the choices and reasons. Seems that the battles that interest me the most (I'm still doing a lot of reading about all of the battles, though) are the ones that took place on land that I have now actually visited. I think it's the connection I feel to those battles having personally been where they happened. The strategy/tactics end doesn't really interest me, and interestingly, I've never taken a strong liking to games that require it either, like chess. Maybe I'm more of a right-brained person ? And, although I like and admire a lot of the people in the Civil War era, I do find myself strangely drawn to a certain few. I may be forgetting some, but the ones who come to mind right now are Abraham Lincoln, "Stonewall" Jackson, James Longstreet, John Buford, John Reynolds, Ulysses Grant, and John Brown. I think because of my own life experiences, I am attracted to the people who experienced pain, heartbreak, hardships, and loss in their lives and still conducted themselves bravely and with dignity and self-respect and were able to take strong stands on issues and continue to act according to their values without wavering. (Although Buford and Brown and Reynolds-I don't think-had the tough experiences some of the others did, but I see Buford and Reynolds as men of honor who I thank God were in the right place at the right time at Gettysburg and Brown-regardless of the violence-thank God did something drastic about slavery.) I also really like the cavalry because I love horses and horseback riding, and like the sharpshooters because I took riflery classes at summer camp and loved it. (Just fake targets, though) Oh, and I really like the daring Harriet Tubman, too, what a story there !!! |

For a person its a hard question between Sherman and Meade because they were such great commanders but i think Shermans march sums it up for me, I pick Sherman. but for a battle i like Gettysburg. I know everyone likes it but i like it because it was fought with such determination that if the north didnt have such a big population The south could have won. |

Cleburne, I'll be very curious to har what you think of that book on Kilpatrick. It's tweaked my interest, just not enough to buy it yet. |

Don, I enjoyed it, not because Kilpatrick was a great general, but because he was such a character. It amazes me that someone with so many flaws could be promoted to and keep positions of such responsibility and whose decisions actually cost lives...hence the sobriquet "Kill Cavalry" I also enjoyed the rivalry between George Armstrong Custer and Kilpatrick especially over women. I guess I was naive having had no idea such antics went on in army camps between officers where others of lower ranks could see and gossip about it. Yet Kilpatrick was involved in vital campaigns and battles, so reading about him is also an examination of the part of the war he was involved in. I'm interested in the Atlanta Campaign and Sherman's end game after Atlanta and beyond. Kilpatrick was part of that. May I suggest another book to read in tandem with Kilpatrick? I just finished an equally interesting work: A Soldier to the Last: Major General Joseph Wheeler in Blue and Gray by Edward G Longacre. |

My favorite subject is the one that I am reading about at the time. Give me a good author and I am happy reading any book about the Civil War. The exception to that is if I am going to a battlefield. Then I read everything I can get my hands on about that battle. I am going to Shiloh next month so the Shiloh books and maps are out. It makes walking the battlefield so much more enjoyable. I also like a good story. Ed Bearss knows how to tell a great story. Just finished his book "Fields of Honor." Each chapter describes a battle based on Ed's recorded tours of the battlefield. I have learned more in one book about the personalities involved than I could have learned by reading 5 other books. |

I had a gift certificate, so I wanted to choose the VERY BEST book that gift certificate would allow. I will read others by him now because I liked his style. |

Hello all, I'm new to this discussion board, love this chat thread. Gettysburg has quite a hold on my imagination, Living in California, it's hard to do much battlefield touring, and Gettysburg is the only one I've been to. I love reading any text with good maps to try and visualize movements and events on the field as I remember it. Needless to say, "Maps of Gettysburg" by Gottfried was quite a treat. Sears, Pfanz, and Coddington have also fed my jones in their turn. I've never had the opportunity to read Imhof's "Gettysburg, A Study in Maps" Heard it's really expensive. Has anyone seen it or know of one for sale? I got my degree in History from UCLA (Go Bruins!) and for historical writing that just sets my hair on end, both from the perspective of narrative and rigorous research, nothing beats McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" and Rhea's books on the Overland Campaign. Can't wait for his next one. |

Welcome, shapbruin. I, too, have a hankering for Imhof's book. It's hard to find and will therefore cost dearly. Everyone I've talked to who has seen it say it's worth having. Maybe not the first born, but I've never seen it listed with a price on it. ole |

My favourite books are those on the battlefields that I have visited, so far all in the East, with Antietam at the top, my copy of Sears "Landscape turned Red" is well thumbed. I at the moment someway through Gottfried " Maps of G/burg", great book. I find myself though drawn towards books on the Western theatre, I have a 5 book set by Jim Miles that I found cheap , history, travel guides and driving tours of the western campaigns, which have been unopened on the shelf for some years now. I would one day love to try them out, anybody out there read them or used them? They are titled "Paths of Victory", "Fields of Glory", "To the Sea",,"Piercing the Heartland" and " A river Unvexed" |

Susan I have not read Cunningham's book. Just read Drew Wagenhofer's review. This will be the next addition to my library. CF Ed Bearss' trilogy on Vicksburg IMHO is the finest work on that subject. But the best way to experience Ed Bearss is to take one of his tours. He is unmatched on a battlefield. |

fedreb: Have had that Miles set for years and they are untouched. I usually just read a good book on the battle, bring the book with me, then read it again when I get home. I'm usually amazed how much better the book reads when you have seen what it's talking about. But, since you've mentioned it, I ought to see what Miles had to say about places I've visited. ole |

Hmmm... as with Ashbel my favourite subject does tend to be whatever I'm currently interested in at the moment. But I think there are two trends. As my main interest has always been politics, if I can find a book relating to political events or manoeuvring during or before the war I will devour it - especially if I can compare and contrast it with contemporary or C20th politics. Other than Eicher's 'Dixie Betrayed', which I recommend, there seems to be few studies of the Confederacy which are strictly political (Levine's 'Confederate Emancipation' is on my pile at the moment, and is a welcome study). For 'relaxation', I really enjoy reading stuff either about or by the common soldier: some of the latter are so well-written it is as if they are reminiscing around a fire late at night sometime in the late 19th Century. I tend not to worry so much about accuracy with these kinds of books, but just enjoy the ride. I have quite happily re-read Billings and Watkins. |

From the age of 8 my favorite subject has been Lincoln. I've always joked that growing up in Illinois it's a state law that you have to visit Springfield as a student. But his life has held a fascination in my mind that I can't explain. Studying his assassination also intrigued me simply because of the violent nature of it and the almost mythical stature it took on happening so soon after the end of the war and happening on Good Friday. Studying battles and military matters doesn't speak to me as much, although I'll never forget my trip to Gettysburg. Best Rob |

On Mondays and Wednesdays during November, US Channel TCM will devote 24 hours of programming to films adapted from novels. With a career that owes a lot to literary adaptations, Dan was an obvious choice to talk about literary films that have had an impact on him. You can watch Dan talking about Brighton Rock here, and the trailer for the season here.
From TCM:
GREAT ADAPTATIONS: Novel to Film Mondays and Wednesdays in November.
Among the greatest satisfactions for movie fans is seeing a beloved novel successfully transferred to the screen, or reading a book that provided the basis for a favorite film. With this blockbuster of a festival, Turner Classic Movies puts a spotlight on cinematic treatments of great novels in a wide array of genres, encompassing 92 movies and a huge number and variety of subjects.
On most Mondays and Wednesdays, 24-hour blocks of programming are devoted to single themes starting in primetime and continuing into the following day. An exception is November 21, when the genre of Southern Literature (including such classic films as 1939′s Gone With the Wind and 1962′s To Kill a Mockingbird) gives way to Stories for Children and Young Adults on Thanksgiving Day. In the latter category is an entertaining TCM premiere, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1938), starring 10-year-old Shirley Temple and inspired by Kate Douglas Wiggin's much-loved bucolic novel.
Two other themes feature TCM premieres. Adventure Novels include Jack London's often-filmed Far North adventure The Call of the Wild in a 1935 version starring Clark Gable and Loretta Young. Among Western Novels is Apache Territory (1958), adapted from the Louis L'Amour novel, with Rory Calhoun as the leader of a small band of travelers threatened by Indians.
Numerous other highlights include cinematic adaptations of American Literature (John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, 1940; F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, 1974), National Book Award Winners and Finalists (Nelson Algren's The Man with the Golden Arm, 1955; James Jones' From Here to Eternity, 1953) and British Literature (Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, 1940; Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, 1943).
Selected guests including actors Dane DeHaan, Griffin Dunne, Jack Huston and Daniel Radcliffe will appear to comment on how literary movies have affected and inspired them.
Thanks to Star for pointing out the original post at Harry Potter's Page and Titch for the link to the trailer.
There is a charming article on the Canadian website, The Province, reporting on Dan's current project, Horns.
"It's a metamorphosis story, but the thing that excited me was that tonally it wasn't like anything I had read," he says.
"It was both incredibly dark — like really dark and violent, and full of classic horror stuff — but also it has a very dry sense of humour."
It's a dialogue-heavy scene, "which I love," says Radcliffe, maintaining his character's American accent even off camera.
"The nature of the horns means that any time I meet somebody, they end up telling me their deepest, darkest revelations. So even a small scene like this becomes incredibly intense."
As to that American accent, "there are certain words — murderer is a hard word to say because there's so many f—ing Rs in it, and girlfriend. Now, unfortunately those are two of the words I use most in this movie."

The synopsis: A Young Doctor's Notebook is a four-part comedy drama based on a collection of short stories by the celebrated Russian writer and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov. The drama recounts Bulgakov's semi-autobiographical experiences as a young doctor working in the small village of Muryovo at the dawn of the Russian Revolution in 1917.
Recounting from his notebooks, the Doctor considers his life and career as he tries to treat the patients of a village that is struggling to enter the modern age. Dealing not only with the superstitious and poorly educated patients but with his own inner demons, the doctor reveals doubts about his own competence and struggles with the immense burden of medical responsibility.
