Tender Morsels
by Margo Lanagan
No current Talk conversations about this book.
So far this is an amazing, opium haze of a story. I'm about halfway through, and its just lovely. But this is another one of those books that make me wonder about YA as a category... do I think that teenagers would like it? I think some older teens and college aged readers would...but the language is difficult, even at times for me (and I consider myself quite an experienced and patient reader). But it seems more like a literary/experimental novel to me. But then again, perhaps if it had been marketed as such, it might not have sold quite as well. And I certainly want Ms. Lanagan to have ALL the money she can for such a beautiful book.
Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan is a rather earthy reworking of the Snow White/Rose Red fairy story and with it's incidents of incest and rape is not for everyone. While this book was based on one of my favorite fairy tales, I admit to getting very little enjoyment from this read as I found the storyline rather convoluted and often confusing.
I think that adapting these type of stories must be very difficult but I couldn't help but feel like the author was trying too hard to match her story with the fable with the result that at times her hard work showed too clearly. Perhaps my love of the original fairy story has warped my viewpoint but I was hoping to actually like the story more than I did.
Although Tender Morsels was marketed as a YA read, I thought the themes were very adult dealing as it did with how brutal life can be. There were parts that were both funny and tragic, but there was also a little too much perversion, cruelty and darkness included that left me feeling quite uncomfortable with the story. However, this is a lushly written book that faces up to the dark side of life and although I personally didn't like it, it is a strongly written story that conveys a powerful message.
This one is a mind bender for sure, but if you have the patience and enjoy fantasy, it's a very worthwhile read. I ended up really enjoying it, but I know a lot of people don't like it.
I was really excited to read this book because I love fairy tale retellings. This is a fairy tale retelling of Snow White and Rose Red. I have heard mixed things about this novel and after reading it I can understand why. Some parts are beautifully written and some are incredibly boring.
Liga has had a horrible childhood and preteen existence. At fifteen she has a small child (who is her father's) and is pregnant with another (from rape by town boys) when a magical being grants her life in her personal heaven. In this peaceful place, that is Liga's ideal world, she raises her two daughters Branza (Snow White) and Urdda (Rose Red). Urdda is especially eager to seek out adventure and when a very manlike bear shows up, Urdda decides there must be a way out of this world. As the two worlds start to collide things begin to unravel.
Okay let's get the controversial issues out of the way. Yes there is a lot of uncomfortable material in this book. Liga is raped by her father many, many times and abused by him after her mother dies. Her father forces abortion on her more than once. These scenes aren't explicit but you know what is going on. At first Liga doesn't think much of it, just that she doesn't like what her dad does in a kind of ambiguous way, but as she grows older she realizes how wrong it was. Is it pretty and fun to read about? No. This is however written about is a tasteful way that comes off more as sad than as sensationalist. I don't think it's a bad thing for young adults to read about rape and abuse, it helps them know when things are wrong and what types of situations to avoid.
Liga is then raped by a bunch of town boys one of which is colored. There has been a lot of uproar about the fact one of the rapists is colored. This confuses me because she is raped by multiple boys. Most of them are white and one is colored. She happens to get pregnant with the colored rapist's child. This child ends up being Urdda who is "red-skinned" and wild and causes a lot of trouble. Many people see this as racist for some reason, but I think they need to consider the original fairy tale. Snow White (Branza) is always portrayed as the rule follower and is always as white as snow in hair and face. Rose Red (Urdda) is always portrayed as having some sort of red feature (hair, skin color, whatever) and is the wild rule breaker. I saw this whole issue as more of Lanagan being true to the fairy tale that she was retelling than really isolating a certain skin color of person. Also most of the rapists and evil people in this story are white...so how is that racist? Anyway, that's just my take on it.
Okay, now we have most of the controversial issues out of the way. Let's talk about the story. Liga is a victim, she was raised that way and she has trouble choosing for herself. Liga, likes having someone to tell her what to do. When bad things happen to her she deals with them and moves on, it is practical and very sad all at once. She is definitely used to no one caring if she is in pain. She tries to raise her daughters differently, but trapped in her personal Heaven there isn't a lot of conflict around to teach them how to deal with real life.
Branza and Urdda end up both being strong characters in their own ways and I enjoyed them a lot. Both of them are a bit rebellious and learn different ways of coping when they are forced to leave Heaven and make their way through the conflict that is the real world.
I liked how there was a time difference between the two worlds, this difference in time flow added a lot of interesting aspects to the story. I liked how the two worlds were tied together by certain commonalities.
The beginning of this book is beautifully written and wonderfully paced. However for me things started to fall apart in the middle of the story. We start to jump around willy nilly between different points of view. Sometimes we hear from Branza, Liga or Urdda...then we also start to hear from the Dwarf and the boys who dress up as Bears.
This is where things start getting a bit weird. The boys who dress up as Bears for Bear Day in the real world turn into real bears when they fall into Heaven. There one of the bears befriend the three women. This gets weird because Liga kind of falls in love with Bear. The women do not know these Bears are men. Then second Bear comes to Heaven and he likes to grope Branza with his bear paws and mess around with the female bears in the forest. Not only is some of this kind of odd and disturbing...it just gets plain old boring. I mean really we could have cut 200 pages out of the middle of this book and been just fine; the pacing was just completely off.
Well, I have already written a book about this book...so I am not going to say much more. It's kind of a shame the middle was so bogged down because some of this book is beautifully written and there are some really neat ideas in here.
Overall some parts were beautiful, some parts were downright weird, and some were just plain old boring. I love some of the ideas here, but the story just lags at points. This was one of those books by the time I got to the end I was just absolutely relieved to be done with it...it felt like it went on forever. I wish I could recommend this, but I just don't think it is a book most people will enjoy.
Beautiful, but very difficult to get through.
[N]othing in the world of adult summer reading can compare with the revolutionary content of a novel you are likely to find in the young adult section of your local bookshop. Tender Morsels ... is funny, tragic, wise, tender and beautifully written. It also left me gasping with shock.
Drawing alternate worlds that blur the line between wonder and horror, and characters who traverse the nature of human and beast, this challenging, unforgettable work explores the ramifications of denying the most essential and often savage aspects of life. It isn't easy, but this book is nevertheless a marvel to read and will only further solidify Lanagan's place at the very razor's edge of YA speculative fiction.

Stila Wonderful in Waikiki Review, Swatches, Photos
Stila Wonderful in Waikiki graced my mailbox late last week. I ordered it as soon as it popped up on Stila's website as it's by far my favorite Beach Girl Palette to date.
How are you liking the new Beach Girl Palettes so far? Got a bit of that age old pokemon, must collect them all disease? I know I have. I purchased all four so far and I'm eager for the next one to release. They sure are a step up from the Travel Girl Palettes.
Let's take a look at Stila Wonderful in Waikiki today!

Erin Morris Gris '01
- Graduated from the Child Development program in 2001
- Earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada
In what field did you work prior to coming to SLC to study Child Development?
Teacher at a Montessori school.
Why did you choose Sarah Lawrence for graduate school? Why Child Development?
First of all, SLC had an excellent reputation for "self guided" learning, and secondly, I appreciated the opportunity to tailor the education experience to my needs. My original goal was to return to Canada and open up my own Montessori school. Also, as a foreign student I received financial aid which enabled me to attend.
How did your course work prepare you for your fieldwork and eventual career?
My original goal was to finish my master's and return to Canada to open up my own Montessori school. Once enrolled at SLC, I was encouraged to "think outside the box," which lead me to volunteer at Mount Sinai Hospital in the pediatric units. Because of this my entire focus changed, and with the support of Barbara Schecter, I started on the path to becoming a Child Life Specialist
Describe your experience working at the Early Childhood Center and Child Development Institute.
My experience working at the Early Childhood Center was invaluable. It was here that I really honed in on my ability to observe children.
Where were your fieldwork assignments? What type of skills/knowledge did you acquire through your fieldwork, which have aided you in your professional life?
My fieldwork assignments were at the ECC and Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC. As stated above, I was given permission to complete my field work volunteering in the Child Life Program, which eventually led to completing an internship program and becoming certified as a Child Life Specialist
What was the focus of your MA thesis?
Nurturing the psychological development of children in a hospital setting.
Where have you worked, and what have you worked on, since graduating?
Since graduating, I have worked in several children's hospitals in the New York area as a child Life Specialist with various populations. In between child life jobs, I was a director of a daycare for an organization called Hour Children. The daycare I ran was for children who had been born while their mothers were still incarcerated. The babies then lived with their mothers in the prison nursery and, when the mothers were released, came to our program.
Do you intend to pursue another degree or explore certification options?
My main focus and passion remain medically fragile children but after having children of my own I see myself leaning towards midwifery and mothers' birthing rights.
Who at SLC would you consider your role model, or who would you consider most inspirational, and why?
Without a doubt, Barbara Schecter. From my very first day at SLC, Barbara took a very personal interest and was determined to make my time at SLC productive and successful. Early on I struggled with assignments and Barbara spent the time needed to guide me and push me to work hard and gain confidence in my abilities. It is because of Barbara's trust that I was able to move forward and use my master's in Child Development to become a Child Life Specialist—a position that enabled me to help countless hospitalized children and their families.

Many of those who make our laws in Washington or across the USA still don't seem to understand whose fault it is when guns that kill innocent people are triggered by crazies.
It's so simple. The blame belongs on those who pass laws that make it possible for nearly anyone - nuts or not - to easily acquire any number of weapons and unlimited amounts of ammunition. The latest tragic example in a suburban Denver movie theater pinpoints the need for tighter gun control.
James Holmes, 24, charged with killing 12 people and injuring dozens more, apparently had no problem and no questions asked when he bought four guns, more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition and other military equipment in the few weeks leading up to the tragedy.
Our lax gun laws are the result of the National Rifle Association having most lawmakers do their bidding. The NRA traditionally has put a muzzle to any congressional attempts at gun control laws.
Hopefully, the Colorado tragedy may change that. Two leading U.S. senators - Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. - have since spoken out for controls.
Outside of Washington, the views of leaders vary. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg long has challenged the gun industry. But Florida Gov. Rick Scott is appealing a federal court order that permits doctors to ask patients whether they have a gun in their family.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not a gun hater. I used my shotgun to hunt pheasants as a teenager in my native South Dakota, and I used my M-1 rifle as an infantryman to hunt Nazis in Germany in World War II.
Those are reasons why I understand the importance of clear and enforced rules on the use of guns by anyone.
? "Since the imposition of 'gun-free zones,' all but one of our mass murders has occurred in these zones. Obviously, gun control facilitates murder. These zones should be illegal." - Larry Pratt, executive director, Gun Owners of America.
? "Assault weapons aren't for hunting deer, they're for hunting humans, they're weapons of war. It's time to push past the gun lobby and put in place commonsense gun laws." - Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

|Statistics (2013)
Ostend–Bruges International Airport (in Dutch: Internationale Luchthaven Oostende-Brugge; commonly: Ostend Airport) is an international airport located in Ostend, Belgium, near the coast and about 25 km from the city centre of Bruges. Although an important proportion of the activities focuses on freight transport, it is increasingly used for passenger flights, mainly charter and holiday flights organised by the tour operators. It is also often used for private business flights.
Early years[edit]
During the Second World War, the German occupiers moved the airfield of Ostend-Stene to a site in the territory of the municipality of Middelkerke, five kilometres southwest of Ostend. It played a major role in the air battle with Britain. After the war, the airport of Raversijde-Middelkerke was turned into an international airport by the Department of Airways which had been established by that time.
In 1992, the ownership of the regional Flemish airport was transferred from the Belgian State to the Flemish Region.
Development since the 2000s[edit]
On 1 May 2003, Ryanair started a new route between Ostend and London–Stansted. The airport was given a new name: "Ostend–Bruges International Airport". However, Ryanair stopped operating the route in December 2003.[1]
On 23 May 2003, Mr. Gino Vanspauwen was appointed CEO/Managing Director of Ostend–Bruges International Airport by the Flemish government. He effectively took up his duties on 1 June 2003.
The airport is operated by the Department of Mobility and Public Works of the Flemish government. The Flemish Government made an agreement with Egis Group to operate it starting 2014 for a duration of 25 years.
Since the beginning of 2014, there are plans to build a new airport terminal which has to replace the old one.[citation needed] The old terminal can not handle the increasing numbers of passengers if Wizz Air and Jetairfly open their new destinations. There are also plans to build a fully equipped cargo terminal with all necessary facilities. For 2015, a number of destinations were added to the ones of Jetairfly. It means that in the summer season of 2015, Jetairfly will operate with 20 destinations from Ostend.

Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On 21 July 1992, Douglas DC-3C LX-DKT of Legend Air was damaged beyond repair when it was blown into Boeing 707 Z-WKV during a storm.[6] As of 28 July 2010, the aircraft was still at Oostende.[7]
- On 26 July 1997 during an airshow taking place at the airport, a Jordanian stunt pilot, Captain Omar Hani Bilal of the Jordanian Air Force display team, the Royal Jordanian Falcons, was killed when he lost control of his Walter Extra EA300s. His plane crashed at the end of the runway and burst into flames near a Red Cross tent and spectator stands. On the ground, eight were killed and forty injured.[8]

I bought the lavender one and I just love it super comfy and doesn't give me a headache like most head bands. But FYI when going to cut tag off be careful had to sow some of my head band back together thought tag was sewn on separately but nope. Kind of a bummer but I'll know for next time might be buying the other colors.5
I love this headband! The color says pink, but it is really more like a peach/pink. I also bought the purple one. At first it is really tight causing me a headache, but after the first couple of uses it is absolutely perfect! I love it for a quick hair fix for bad hair days or in a huge hurry when getting ready!4
I'm a total headband girl because I'm always on the go or working out, so this headband was definitely a bust have. I got it in mint and absolutely love it. It's nice and stretchy, so it doesn't hurt after wearing it for too long. L. Erickson is definitely one of my new favorite hair accessory brands.5

yea all of them kind of feel apocalyptic!
These are awesome! The first two are very Dali-esque…
I love this, great style.
The surreal style Friedman paints in is downright moving. The first image made me think it was a photoshop job of some wacky landscape photos, I'm glad it's not.

Jack Dempsey cichlids make wonderful caring parents. They should remain in the aquarium with the eggs. The female should remain for at least two weeks after they hatch as she cares for her young fry. It might be a good idea to remove the male soon after the eggs hatch if he shows any signs of agression towards the female or the young. The female and male will chomp up food and disperse it about the babies until they are large enough to eat available food. Jack Dempsey fish are among the most caring and dedicated parents you'll find in the animal kingdom.
This morning I found the female Jack Dempsey fish cleaning off a flat piece of slate. She'll probably lay her eggs there when ready. Once the male begins to clean to slate, then I'll know that the eggs are coming very soon. So far, the male hasn't cleaned the stone at all. The male's coloration has deepened and his blue color has become very iridescent.
They reside in a 29 gallon aquarium with a 3 gallon outside custom filter. Two small pumps turn the water over about 300 GPH. I keep the water temperature about 77 degrees using a 200 watt submersible heater in the filter. In addition to that, I'm changing about 3 gallons of water on an almost daily basis. This may be over kill but I want as many eggs as possible to survive and hatch. Some will be used as feeder fish for other growing cichlids and others will be raised to deliver to pet stores in about 3 months.
The female seems to be cleaning that same piece of slate over and over while the male just watches and ignores it. In the past, I've watched the male become very interested in cleaning the area for the eggs and his enthusiasm was fun to watch. As I'm typing I'm also watching this pair in their home and their colors are splendid.
A few hours later, the spawning dance is occurring more often and this means the male is becoming more interested in her. He'll follow her to the cave often now and he either sits outside the door, shuddering and twitching until she comes out or he'll enter the cave. I can then hear the gravel being tossed around from all the motion. It's a small cave and these are good size fish. My male is about 8 inches in length and very thick with a fat stomach from the beef heart that I often feed him.
At this time the male is helping the female clean the slate and we will soon see her laying eggs. The cleaning is accompanied now by the female wiggling across the flat stone practicing her egg laying run. The male follows her path as soon as she passes over the slate. As I continue watching, soon I see a few whitish eggs as she passes and then the male following behind and fertilizing them. More passes and more eggs as they continue this procedure for upwards of two hours. Finally she is empty of eggs and they begin to calm down. They rest for a bit but these two, unlike most I've seen, begin to start the courting process all over again. I'm not sure why they do this or what purpose it serves but it only last for a few hours with this pair. During all this, the female will often hover over the eggs and fan them, keeping debris off of the newly laid eggs.
Both parents soon settle in during the waiting period of about 72 hrs before hatching. The female almost continuously fans the eggs during this time to keep them clean. Any bad eggs will be removed so as not to infect good eggs as they will become fuzzy with white fungus. The male will occasionally help her with this chore but usually is roaming the aquarium. In the wild, the male will be watching for predators, chasing them off. But with no other fish in this aquarium, the male has an easy time of it. In a few days, the eggs will hatch into tiny wrigglers and watching the adults care for them is a very rewarding experience. I enjoy each and every hatch that I observe.

Hi it didnt take long for mine to spawn there first batch,to kick things in to gear i placed a mirror on one side of the tank,the male will then think he his seeing another male,also raise the tempature to some were around 78f 28c.you then will hopefully see lip locking and tail slapping breeding activity is pretty rough stuff but great to watch lol,good luck.

Well in my personal experience we sat up a 40 breeder tank with 3 JD (2 girls – 2 boys) and 1 convict as a dither – in about 1 week they paired up — so we took out the other 2 JD's and only left the mated up couple and the dither – after about 2 months we now have free swimming babies – but like I said that was my experience I guess it all depends on the fish – it never hurts to try to incourage them with some cooler water and some earthworms though — Good luck

how old do the jack Dempseys need to be in order to mate?
October 14, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Usually Jack Dempsey's don't spawn when they're that small (usually do that around 7-8 inches long is when they're sexually mature), but keep up the good work with water changes and a healthy diet, you never know what you'll wake up to in the morning
June 1, 2010 at 6:54 pm
Hello, just a quick question.
At work we had 2 Jack Dempsey fishes. They reproduced which we think is fab, but the day the eggs hatched, the male died. As we're not open weekends, we removed the mother from the tank as we wasn't sure wether or not she would feed off of her babies.
We kept her in her own water, but sadly she died too over the weekend.
I would just like to know if u could help me in caring for the young, giving me tips on how to encourage their survial
October 13, 2010 at 10:34 pm
i was wondering how to tell if the jack dempsey a female or male i have two but dont know if male or female please respond i dont kneo how to tell i am no that great with fish..
thank you hope you reply soon i love my fish!!!
January 30, 2011 at 8:20 pm
I have just started with Jack Demseys I have 2 small ones at this time but I understand they grow fast if fed rite.How aggressive are they if raised with other fish not Cichlids.
Thanks Warren
January 30, 2011 at 9:52 pm
Hi Warren. Several factors come into play regarding your question. They will grow quite rapidly if you feed them a high protein diet with lots of variety. Aquarium size is also a factor as it is with all tank raised fish. The more space you offer them, the better it is for their health and growth. Regarding their aggressiveness, as with all predatory fish, SIZE MATTERS. If the other tankmates are about equal in size, the JDs are unlikely to bother them much. Jack Dempsey cichlids are very territorial as are most cichlids. If your tank is too small for all your inhabitants, you'll see plenty of aggression from your JDs, regardless of the size of the other fish.
Good luck Warren and drop me a line if there is anything else I can help you with.

SHOULD i REMOVE THE BABIES AFTER THEY HATCH? SHOULD I COVER THEM IN A SEPARATE SCREENED AREA AFTER THEY HATCH
February 28, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Hello Cheryl.. If at all possible, remove the eggs before they hatch and place in another small aquarium or large container. A 5 gallon aquarium in best when they first hatch. Move the pair of Jack Dempseys also.. or at least the female with the eggs. Use the same aquarium water to fill the new container. This is the safest and most convenient way to do this. Good luck

How many fry should be spawned and how many usually live from a spawning? My JD's had babies when I wasn't looking! there seems to be about 200 fry swimming around in one corner now and I am a little overwhelmed about the idea of all of them growing up in this 55 gallon tank. I have a 120 gallon tank stored in the garage if I need to move them. Should I?
August 31, 2011 at 6:02 am
I put my eggs by thereself and they hatched after i removed them from the big tank i just want to know do they eat anything or do the mom have to be inside the same tank
August 31, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Eddie… put the mother in with the fry OR, purchase some fry food at the pet store. You can also boil an egg and get the yoke very hard, then grind that up very small but don't feed too much. Egg yoke fouls quickly so take any big chunks out that haven't been eaten. Good luck Eddie.

My pair of JDs have bred twice with babies all in a small ball around the bottom. For a couple of days all seems well then after a couple three days they are all gone. Do the parents eat them? Am I supposed to remove the parents from the tank?
March 13, 2012 at 11:32 pm
Hi Lou,
JDs seldom eat their young unless there are other fish in the tank that are catching them for meals. It the parents feel that there is no way they can protect the babies from predators, they will, themselves, eat the young for the protein. The other time they kill off young is when the parents are ready to breed again. If young are still in the tank and swimming around the nesting site, they will be snatched up for they are now a threat to new eggs and fry. Good luck Lou.

We don't believe in selling.
We believe the proof is in the pudding.
Traditional selling is intrusive, aggressive, pushy and rude. One-Time-Only Discounts? Buy Now Or Miss Out? Give us a break. However smoothly it's done, you know that somewhere along the line you're being set up, sneaked around, hornswoggled or hoodwinked. It's not nice.
We take a different approach. A simpler, more honest, more effective approach.
We let people try what we do. Free. Yes, we give it away. And in meaningful samples, too – not just tiny little teasers.
So if we were selling cars, we'd let you take one home for a week. No strings attached, no sales push. If we were business consultants, we'd provide a healthy dose of insightful, actionable advice. Free. If we made pudding, we'd let you taste it. Not just a spoonful. A big cup.
That way, people get to experience our service. In full. For real. Not just what we do, but the way we do it. The kind of people we are.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. And customers who like what they taste will come back. Ready and happy to pay.
Some people think this is crazy. 'Think of the cost!' they cry. Then they go spend thousands of dollars (at least) on their next promotional campaign. We think that's pretty crazy.
Why not save those marketing dollars, and use some of them to let people experience your business first hand? No tricks, no deals, no intrusion or aggression. That's what we do. And it works.

Sex machine Fidel Castro is now only 56 percent dead, experts fear
Last week was a busy one for Fidel Castro. First the Cuban propaganda machine (which runs on an engine salvaged from a 1959 Ford Zephyr) released photos showing a robust-looking Fidel meeting with the Nicaraguan president. Then a filmmaker shooting a documentary about Che's BFF reported that Fidel slept with 35,000 women — according to a former government crony identified only as "Ramón."
The new headlines mean it's time for the media to play our favorite regularly scheduled, quad-annual parlor game: Just How Dead Is Fidel Castro Anyway?
Not to be left out of the speculation, Riptide has hired several high-priced experts to estimate Fidel's current level of death — and they've reported a very alarming finding:
El Supremo hasn't been less dead since 1986.
Among the telltale signs: The new photos show Fidel cracking up everybody in the room. He has clearly just told a classic rip-roarer — you know how he gets when he's all hopped up on Metamucil and tyranny. Either he's somewhat alive, or the Cubans have achieved unprecedented progress in animatronic-dictator technology. And then there's the fact — for how could it be anything else if it comes from "Ramón"? — of the nearly 3,000 dozen mamacitas who have felt the tickle of la barba del barbaro. When you have that much sex, you never die. Ask Dick Clark.
Allow our experts to break down the frightening results.
How dead is he?: 56 percent.
How dead is that?: Well, he's deader than Tupac Shakur but less dead than Ted Williams. Two out of three funeral directors would have no professional qualms about embalming Fidel in his current state, but top Cuban officials tell us he is still faster than Usain Bolt, remains hotter than Colin Farrell, and has been way deader, like, tons of times.
How fearful should the American oligarchy be?: Extremely. We're hearing word that, in order to show his revived strength, Fidel might just ban something from the island for the hell of it — like rainbow sprinkles. Because he already axed strawberry topping in '94, ice cream in Cuba could be less delicious than ever.

Jeeeeeej, I made it to finals!!:D
??Last weekend (10.-12. aug.)was my second bouldering-comp of the year, the Adidas-Rockstars in Stuttgart at Porsche arena. Adidas had done it again, jet another great event!The weekend went too fast, and I was not the only one to have a great time. If every comp. where like this I wouldn't have hesitated to compete more!(Then I am talking about the hole package, not just the boulders)
??I had quite a rough qualifiers. Even though the result was alright (9. after quali), my mind was not the best, and so neither was my climbing. I did a few too many mistakes, mistakes I thought I had learn not to do anymore. But I flashed a catch (and that problem)! Might not be the longest or more difficult one, but catching is one of my weaknesses so I am happy about that:)??
adidas Rockstars - Therese Johansen
Jeeeeeej, I made it to finals!!:D
The semi came, and my climbing got a little better. The first problem started with a catch, and I didn't really expect to manage it, and I didn't. If I will continue with competing I will have to practice that a lot. Especially when jumping to bad holds, or everything that is not a jug. The second problem was more my style. I did a stupid mistake on my flash-attempt thou, trying to go directly to the top of the wall with my left hand, instead of using an intermediate using the wall. I did it in my second try, swimming in the top. Think my arm helped me a lot:)
The third problem looked really hard for me, and not a boulder pointing my strengths, with heel hooks and slopers. I was lucky to flash that problem, eventhou I was really,really close on falling. If I would have fell there, I would not be in finals. Glad I didn't.
The last problem had the crux opposite of what I thought it would have. I thought the start would be difficult, turned out it was the last move. I got up to the last move plenty of times.I was not able to do it.
I qualified for finals in 6.th place. Marginals where on my side that day, a fall extra and I would have been out! Before finals when I was warming up everything except my finger felt good. I didn't feel so tired as I earlier have been in some finals or semis, and was able to recover good in the break between semis and finals. But in warm-up my finger felt worse.
Right before qualifiers started I had checked my finger with a chiropractor there, who could tell me it was not good, and I shouldn't be climbing. I had taped it up, and it wasn't a problem while climbing in quali´s and semis, but now when warming up it felt really bad. I considered not climbing finals because of this, but I really wanted to climb, and couldn't get my self to rest. Luckily I didn't feel any pain when climbing finals either, maybe cause of adrenalin.
The first problem looked more difficult then it was. I ended up with a different beta than what I had planned from the observation. I think it even involved a knee bar. I was happy to flash it.
The second problem where going well, I managed the first jump and on my first try I was on my last move. There I did a mistake, trying to safe a move- doing it more static, when jumping for the top-jug was much easier. After this attempt 3 of my fingers where bleeding, and another one was already taped. The blood where dripping, and it probably looked like more then it was. I had to do the boulder. I got a normal writing-paper to dry up on, chalked up and managed to do it on my second. Feeling a bit worried and guilty for that I may have left blood on the grips (I was the first climbing). But everybody else flashed that boulder (I think) :)
After a bit confusion back in the isolat both me and Katharina Saurwein thought we were out before the third problem. In this final they didn't count back to the semis or qualis. Jeeej for us, another problem and the problem I thought looked coolest in finals (the one with the yellow boxes). It took me a couple of tries finding the beta to get the bonus, and when I got the bonus and tried to move my feet, they slipped of. I was not able to do this problem. Would love to try it again and probably again:) Akiyo Noguchi was the only one to do that problem- even flashing it! Have to say that Alex Puccio where close on flashing it too, falling in the top, powering through the move to the bonus (where I had to find a foot-beta to manage).
In the end Alex and Akiyo where in the super finals. The super finals needs a top, quit important for the show, as first one up wins (no matter of earlier result in final) and you ring a bell there. So quit hard setting problems here. You don't want it too hard or too easy. Both flashed it, but this year Alex was the fastest one, and the Adidas-rockstar, well done:D
Thanks to Adidas and to everybody who made this event so great!
It was really fun seeing so many strong climbers, and to compete again. I still have a lot too work on, but have to take with me that a lot have also improved- like my capacity. I always learn a lot about myself as a boulderer in comps. Things I can improve, which I also can get benefit of in the outdoors stage.
I ended up with 4. place, one better than last year:) Looking forward to next years comp.!:D
I still haven't been climbing since the comp. Saturday 11., so this would be my tenth day off. I can't lift weight either as the weights will annoy the finger, and I want it to heal as fast as possible. Yesterday was my firs really hard "I can't climb day". Luckily the finger seems to be healing fast, it is much better, and if I hadn't talked to the chiropractor I would have been climbing now. But I want it to be all well first, so I´ll give it to the start of next week, I think. Well, more jogging, more tension, and even more jogging. Need to stay fit for "the battle" in Lillehammer, which I look so much forward to. It will be my third comp. this year. Can almost call myself a competition-climber again:P

Craig Lenz, DO, FAODME, Named Dean of COMP
Pomona, CA - 08/08/2000 -- Craig Lenz, DO, FAODME, has been named Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) at Western University of Health Sciences as a conclusion to a national search and recommendation from the search committee.
"Dr. Lenz has the skill, knowledge, ability and desire to lead the College to a new level," said George Charney, DO, FAOCA, FAODME, executive vice president of academic affairs and chief academic officer. "He has an extensive background in both medicine and education and he has already proven himself a leader at Western University."
Formerly an emergency department physician at Redington-Fairview Hospital in Maine, Lenz said he has always been interested in the academic side of medicine. He served for more than 10 years as a clinical clerkship coordinator for the Area Health Education program at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine, and also worked as the osteopathic director of medical education for the family practice residency program at Eastern Maine Medical Center.
"Working with faculty and students at a dynamic and growing institution such as COMP has been a real opportunity, and I look forward to leading the College in preparing the health care teams of tomorrow," Lenz said. He noted that the University is in a strong financial position, is in the midst of building a new library and learning resources center, and has strong applicant pools for all its programs. The University is continually adding new faculty and staff.
The College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific now enrolls 176 medical students in each class. "What makes Western University distinctive is its commitment to preparing physicians and other health professionals who are not only skilled, but also compassionate," he added.
Lenz said one of his top goals as dean is to expand the number of clinical rotations available for students in the greater Los Angeles area. He also plans to work closely with deans of Western University's other Colleges to ensure that the University prepares health care professionals to work as a team. "As the health care industry evolves, teamwork is becoming more important-our graduates have an advantage because they are trained to think in those terms from the beginning." According to Dr. Charney, a selection committee recommended Dr. Lenz for dean position after seeing him in action as assistant dean.
"Dr. Lenz is an educator and a healer, and that combination has been a welcome addition to our University," Dr. Charney said.
Dr. Lenz earned his bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from Princeton University, and was in a master's program in counseling psychology at the University of Pennsylvania prior to entering medical school. He received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He is certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine and the American Board of Osteopathic Family Practitioners, and holds membership with the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and the Academy of Osteopathic Directors and Medical Educators (AODME). He was elected to fellowship in AODME about 10 years ago.
He is currently living in Alta Loma, and enjoys scuba diving and power boating. He and his wife have three grown children.

This was an impulse purchase due to the rave reviews this has received for YEARS! I tried it a Sephora on my arm (I had full on MU that I was not about to disturb!!)and it looked beautiful but once I left it looked like pure shimmer with the slightest hint of color. I thought this will never work on my NC42 skin and had practically given up all hope w/lout even retrying it. Still untouched in my Sephora bag on top of my dresser a week later--I decided might as well give it a go, they'll exchange it regardless. Well, I was blown away. Not only did the color show up--it was subtle but vibrant and not at all excessively shimmery, and I swear it made my skin look flawless, plus I glowed. This is what I imagine Benefits Dandelion does for those beautifully fair skinned ladies. WOW WOW WOW Please don't hesitate to try this, it's the perfect wash of color for an everyday look, and just the right of shimmer and glow for an evening look!! May be HG status for me--I haven't been this excited about a blush in a very long time!

This is the most superior makeup product I've ever owned. The bronzer applies silky smooth and has just the tinest amount of gold shimmer to deflect light from wrinkles/blemishes. The blush is such a flattering shade of peachy-pink. Use both of these together and I swear people will think you are 'glowing' as I've been told MANY times. (This is my secret!)I apply the bronzer all over with a big soft fluff brush from sonia kashuk, and it is nearly impossible to over apply or streak. I apply the blush with a "flat-top" blush brush to the tops of my cheek bones up a little into the temples and down a little into the hollows of my cheeks(almost like in a "3" motion) Also, I am very acne-prone and these products have NEVER broken me out or clogged my pores!*For skintone reference, I am normally the second shade from the lightest in many foundations.

This is awesome. I love both the blush and the bronzer. They go together so well. I especially love Orgasm. It's such a wearable shade

I love this duo. I never wear blush because i hate looking overdone , but when i wear this duo it looks so natural and it makes me look like i just came from the beach. The price is a little much but its totally worth it.

Very sleek packaging, takes up little space in my bag. Orgasm alone is decent on me, but together with laguna, its amazing. The 2 colors compliment each other beautifully. I do a light bronzing all over, then define cheeks wipe more laguna, with orgasm on the apples, and its fab. People ask if ive been to the beach, and say my face looks gorgeous!. I dont like the light sparkle in orgasm cuz it can seep into big pores and make them more obviouse, but overall its really pretty together. It is expensive tohugh.

I really like this duo. The Bronzer is a very natural colour and goes well with the orgasm blush. I will probably buy this again. The one problem I have is that it is way too expensive.

HG bronzer and blush together, what more could you ask for?
Laguna: Perfect bronzer shade for me, usually I maintain my fakebake tan fairly well but when I don't have time adding extra amounts of this still looks natural and healthy on me. Despite the shimmer it looks like real skin so much that I even use it for face sculpting to emphasize my cheek bones, sweep along temples and hair line and to diffuse my double chin. Perfecttt.
Orgasm: It didn't become a classic for no reason is all I can say. Really I can't lay enough praise on NARS for this color. The first coat is always sheer so even when I'm my natural PPP self it doesn't look overdone at all. Adding a layer or two adds just enough intensity for my tan which is around an NW30. If I ever feel like looking really rosy cheeked, I add more. It's so universal and customizeable that I really don't own any other blushes or buy anymore, what need is there?

Orgasm is the first blush I've used since I was a gawky teenager who knew nothing about makeup application. I had sworn off blush for years because I thought it made me look like a clown. Thankfully, Orgasm is just light and sheer enough to compliment my ghostly winter complexion, but dark enough to still look great after my Italian comes out in the summer time.
Laguna is cool, too, but the last reviewer was right. A little bit goes a LOOOONNNG way with this bronzer. I use the big Urban Decay powder brush as lightly as possibly when applying it and it gives me just enough color so I don't look like an idiot.
It's overall a good combo, but I definitely use the Orgasm side more often than the Laguna side.

It took me a while to like this one .At first the laguna was unbearably dark for me and ended up looking muddy brown with patches on my skin , i think i got the hang of it now . This IS really a bronzer (in stead of a highlighter ) with lots of pigment , so you need to be careful a little while applying it .My mistake was to rub the kabuki brush over my skin carefree at the beginning . I think it works better with a blush brush and a little goes long way .I 'd sometimes mix the laguna and the orgasm sweeping the brush on both of them , and sometimes use them seperately, but no matter what i get compliments when i use this .Just remember, it's not foolproof.

George Zimmerman's newly relaunched website – one he is producing outside of the defense team's control – included criticism of his own legal defense team's site, although the comments were later removed, Local 6 has learned.
Wednesday night, statements on TheRealGeorgeZimmerman.com complained that the official GZlegalcase.com site "has fallen short" in three areas: "Disputing misinformation;" "Providing a voice for George;" and "Raising funds."
The independent site was reestablished, in part, to "pick up the slack," the website page stated Wednesday.
But by Thursday the entire "About" page containing those comments was no longer on TheRealGeorgeZimmerman.com site.
Asked by Local 6 about the criticisms, Zimmerman's attorney, former Local 6 legal analyst Mark O'Mara, said he could not comment because he had not seen them.
But, he added, they would not signal a deterioration in the attorney-client relationship. There is "no schism whatsoever," he said. "George and I are doing well. The whole defense team is doing very well … We are one absolutely cohesive team."
Asked why Zimmerman would risk doing a national television interview while facing criminal charges that carry a maximum life sentence, O'Mara said, "This is a decision made by George to get his story out" and, he hoped, would raise money for his defense fund.
But Fox News never mentioned the websites that link to the defense fund donation page, and only about $1,500 trickled into the fund overnight. That compares to about $60,000 raised on the day the defense fund got its first mentions on Fox News in April.
"My understanding is it was going to be spoken about" during the hour-long Sean Hannity show, O'Mara said, adding there was "disappointment" the site was not referenced.
On Thursday, Zimmerman also posted a video on his website, thanking his supporters. You can watch the video by clicking here.
"This is our website, it's not my website, it is our website where you can personally communicate with me and I hope to be your website to provide facts," Zimmerman says. "I will be frequently updating this website so check back often and spread the word to your family and friends. Once again, I humbly thank you."
The video is about two minutes long and is in both English and Spanish.

Five teens were arrested Monday in Palm Coast on allegations of breaking into a middle school and stealing money, snacks and basketballs.
The arrests were made in connection with a May 3 burglary at Indian Trails Middle School.
According to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, the teens, 15 to 17 years old, were captured on the school's video surveillance cameras, forcing open doors to classrooms and a laundry room. The teens also vandalized a bathroom before they made off with money, snacks and two basketballs, deputies said.
Five of the seven teens were arrested on felony charges of criminal mischief, burglary and petit theft.
"Two of the 15-year-olds involved in this incident ... were arrested in connection to the pizza delivery driver robbery at the end of March," said Flagler County Sheriff James L. Manfre.
Four of the five teens were released to their parents after they were booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility. One was taken to the Division of Youth Services in Daytona Beach.
"Charges have been submitted to the state attorney's office for the two remaining (teens)," said Corporal Don Apperson with the FCSO School Resource Unit.

Communication breaks down in Grantville
by Clay Neely
Monday's Grantville City Council meeting was almost over before it even started.
Council Member Barham Lundy called for the meeting to be adjourned following an objection by Mayor Jim Sells to amending the evening's agenda.
Sells lambasted the initial motion to amend the agenda – made by Council Member Leonard Gomez – citing a lack of protocol on behalf of the council member.
"You've been here eight months, all right? It's time you learn how things are done around here. It's the mayor's agenda, it's the city manager's agenda – I am both," Sells said. "You bypassed me and went right to the city clerk. There are items you requested that I deemed to be intentionally inflammatory. Have you spoken to me in two weeks?"
Gomez countered that the lack of communication wasn't intentional.
Lundy then called for a point of order to allow City Attorney Mark Mitchell to clarify the process of adding items to an agenda.
"It was discussed that two members could place an item on an agenda. Beyond that, you have no rules or guidelines regarding putting together an agenda," Mitchell said. "There is nothing, one way or the other. That might be something you might want to formally address."
It was then that Lundy made a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by Council Member David Riley.
Sells objected to the motion while Mitchell informed him that a motion to adjourn takes precedent over all other items.
During the discussion for the motion to adjourn, Council Member Johnny Cooks said his concern was the lack of understanding by other members that proposed policies and procedures need to go through a committee.
"Two councilmen can and should submit a document to the city manager to be put on the agenda," Cooks said. "I don't see that this a judgment call. I think we should follow the agenda."
Sells indicated his frustration with the city council.
"What we have are four members that want to fight," Sells said. "Mr. Gomez wants to get his way. I'd love to have it my way, but this council holds my feet to the fire. We have city business to conduct. If you want to make us look ridiculous, that's your privilege."
The motion to adjourn failed, with Lundy voting for the measure, and Riley and Cooks voting against. Gomez abstained.
"There is nothing on his (Gomez) list that is urgent that can't be addressed at the next meeting," Sells said.
The meeting finally officially began with the unanimous passage of the fire service agreement with Coweta County.
The 50-year agreement obligates Grantville to provide the county with the funds necessary to supply fire service in the city.
"They're going to give you a number and say 'this is what it's going to take,'" Mitchell said, adding the council would have to come up with a millage rate to cover the cost.
Following the meeting, Gomez expressed his frustration in trying to address issues that he felt were important for citizens to be aware of.
"I'm not sure why he (Sells) was so against the idea," Gomez said. "I thought the issues were … seems like a normal person would indicate the importance of the issues and amend it. But that's his prerogative, I guess. I don't see what the big deal was and did he expect some kind of confrontation – we just wanted some answers."
The issues Gomez aimed to present to the council were:
• Discussion of the suspension of Recreation Director Michelle Huffstickler – the retrofitting of her back pay, and what protocols were followed.
• The discussion of city manager and interim city manager.
• The need for full disclosure on all Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax fund ledgers.
• The need for full disclosure on who has access to the cameras installed at the city parks and if the project has been completed per the city recommendations before the city makes the final payment.
• The need for full disclosure from a local bank regarding contracts and fees that the city was charged and when the city would be getting the fees back. Asking the city attorney what legal actions the city has.
• A change to the town charter that would allow council members to request items to be put on the agenda without any resistance from the mayor.
"We aren't sure why he wouldn't allow these items to be discussed but we never got any answers from him," Gomez said. "We just wanted to document it so it could be on record."
In an interview with The Newnan Times-Herald, Lundy elaborated on his decision to adjourn the meeting.
"Councilman Gomez had several items he wanted to discuss but the mayor wouldn't allow it," Lundy said. "Mayor Sells only wants to discuss the items that he chooses. In this case, he didn't want to talk about any of Mr. Gomez's concerns, so what's the point of even holding a meeting?"

If you're between the ages of 25 and 30, there's a very good chance that you spent some of your childhood years reading the work of R.L. Stine, best known for his line of spooktacular Goosebumps books for kids.
L.A. DJ R.L. Grime (born Henry Steinway) derived his EDM moniker from Stine's influence, which eventually led to the two having a chance meeting on Twitter.
"I was surprised off the bat that he had a Twitter page, and that it was a really good Twitter page too," the 22-year-old DJ told L.A. Weekly. "He has [over 100,000] followers. I think someone tweeted at him 'Have you heard of RL Grime?' He responded no, but somehow I got looped into the conversation and started talking to him. Around this time last year, I was like, 'Hey man, can you send me your email?' and he did right away, and he's been super cooperative with everything after that. He's an amazing guy."
That digital connection led to the unlikely duo to collaborate on R.L. Grime's new Halloween mixtape, which features the famous author providing voiceovers and introducing the mix. The mix also comes with an added touch that's sure to be appreciated by Goosebump fans.
"We actually got the illustrator who did all the [Goosebumps] books to do the mixtape cover, so that's really cool," Grime explained in reference to artist Tim Jacobus. "Musically, it's the same idea, just trying to pick out spooky Halloween vibe songs."
The connection between the two is a genuine one, as Grimes grew up a mega-fan of the Goosebumps series.
"I think Say Cheese and Die was one of my favorites," he enthused. "I remember being really into the choose your own ending thing. I also watched the TV series a bunch too. It actually just got put on Netflix, so you can check it out."
