Meat-eaters know how great it tastes on a plate, but how many of us know our way around a cow or a lamb? Diana Pilkington gets to know the cuts during a crash course in butchery, and picks up some tips from real-life butcher (and one half of TV's Fabulous Baker Brothers) Henry Herbert. Plus, some tasty meat recipes.
By Diana Pilkington
You don't expect to walk into your local butcher's shop and see a glamorous TV star behind the counter.
But Henry Herbert, one half of Channel 4's Fabulous Baker Brothers, is juggling his TV career with running family business Hobbs House Butchery in Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire.
And he has seen such a rise in people who want to learn some basic butchery skills that he's in the process of opening a school to teach them.
"There's a thirst for people wanting to learn how to do it themselves," he says.
"They might not do it every time, but understanding the skill behind it helps you appreciate what the trade involves. It's like when people want to do a bit of DIY at home but won't necessarily do the whole house.
"If you cook a leg of lamb that you had boned out yourself, there's kudos in that."
There can also be financial benefits to getting handy with a knife at home.
Herbert says: "A small chicken is about £5. It's about the same price as two skinless chicken breasts, but there's quite a big difference in size.
"It's so quick to learn how to chop that chicken up and get two breasts, two legs, wings and a carcass to make a soup, so suddenly you've gone from two meals to five meals. I could teach someone that in five minutes and they've got that for life."
Even if home butchery is not your thing, the star is supporting a campaign to encourage people to use their local butcher and tap into their expert knowledge about which cuts to buy and how to use them.
After all, trained chef Herbert took over his family butcher's in the first place to help keep the trade alive when the shop became vacant.
The number of butcher shops in Britain has declined sharply since the Seventies, dropping from 25,300 in 1977 to just 6,811 in 2006. However, according to Eblex, which represents the English beef and sheep industry, the drop in numbers is tailing off and there are around 6,600 today.
"I felt it was a real shame to see another butcher shop that had been trading for 150 years close down and become a card shop or a charity shop," he says.
"I thought even if I can breathe some new life into it and help inspire someone at least I've done something rather than watch it shut down."
A butcher's at how it's done
I admit it, I love red meat. But I don't think I'm alone in being a bit clueless about how a juicy sirloin steak or comforting Sunday roast correspond to the animals they start out as.
With this in mind, I take a trip to the Donald Russell butchery in Aberdeenshire, proud holder of a Royal Warrant, for a tour of the premises and a crash course in butchery skills.
Led by the aptly-named Steve Lamb, I wander through the ice-cold maturation room, where hundreds of headless carcasses hang side by side. Beef is typically hung for around 28 days to give it maximum flavour, and lamb, which I learn is anatomically very similar to a cow, is hung for up to 10 days.
Throughout the factory are a staggering number of white-coated people hard at work, some carefully weighing and portioning the steaks, others chucking meat into a mincer, lining pastry with sausage meat or packing up the cuts.
They all carry out their tasks with impressive speed and precision. And then it's my turn.
In the demonstration room, I watch as butcher Dave Bergin uses a saw and various knives to break down the 'roasting' (a side of beef) into the four main cuts of rib, sirloin, fillet and rump.
It is quite a transformation, and what starts out as a generous, multi-coloured bit of fillet, for example, is trimmed down into a sleek piece of pure red meat that resembles a fish to look at.
Next is the fun part. With my left hand encased in a chainmail glove, I have a go at cutting these newly-butchered slabs into steaks. It's satisfying to sink the knife in, but my task - to chop them to an optimum 220 grams - is not easy, and I keep missing the mark. Fellow butcher Andy Grant, on the other hand, gets it right every time.
There's also a baffling array of words to come to terms with. As well as the familiar steaks, I hear terms like "pave", "picanha" and "tafelspitz" bandied about. More confusingly, some are different words for the same thing, but the butchers navigate the language with ease.
Despite a growing interest from the public in butchery, the team at Donald Russell tell me that they have struggled to find young apprentices to go into the trade.
"Nobody wants to get up at 4.30am to come to a cold factory and cut up steaks," admits Grant, who has done the job for 20 years. "But it's given me a good life. It's a job I feel passionate about and I enjoy it." Impressed as I am by his skills though, I think I'll leave him to it.
Here are some meaty recipes for you to try at home.
Slow-cooked beef with gnocchi
(Serves 4)
450g lean boneless shin or chuck steak, cut into 2.5cm cubes
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
½tsp cayenne pepper
1tsp paprika
2tbsp sunflower oil
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped or crushed
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
200ml good, hot vegetable stock
1 cinnamon stick, halved
1tbsp light brown sugar
1tbsp tomato puree
1 x 400g pack fresh gnocchi
2tbsp freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley, to garnish
Place the beef in a large plastic food bag. Add the seasoning, cayenne and paprika; seal, shake well to coat the beef in the spices.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Cook the beef for 4-5 minutes in batches until brown on all sides. Transfer to a 1.7l/3pint heatproof casserole pot.
In the same frying pan, cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Spoon into the casserole pot.
Add the tomatoes and stock, cinnamon, sugar and tomato puree. Bring this to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 2-2½ hours.
Add the gnocchi 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Garnish with the parsley and serve with crusty bread.
Tip: If preferred, substitute the gnocchi for freshly cooked pasta shapes.

Slow-cooked Shoulder of lamb
(Serves 6)
1 whole shoulder of lamb (1.75kg)
Salt and pepper
2tsp olive oil
20g butter
250g mushrooms
1 onion (chopped)
4 cloves of garlic (sliced)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 sprigs fresh or dried lavender
5 tomatoes (cut into wedges)
125ml white wine
250ml chicken or beef stock
Allow the meat to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 140°C/285°F/Gas 1. Season the lamb shoulder with salt and pepper.
Preheat a large, flame-proof braising pan. Add oil and butter and brown the meat on all sides until nicely caramelized. Remove the meat from the pan and leave to the side. Add mushrooms, onions and garlic and braise for 5-8 minutes. Return the meat to the pan. Add all the remaining ingredients to the pan and bring to the boil. Cover with the lid and place into the oven and cook for 2½ - 3 hours. After 2½ hours test the meat. It should be tender and sticky.
When the meat is tender remove the pan from oven. Place the lamb on a warm serving platter and allow to rest for up to 20 minutes. Remove the remaining pan ingredients and arrange around the meat for a nice presentation. Use the delicious juices to make a gravy.
To serve carve the meat straight from the bone and arrange on preheated plates. Serve with green beans and potato gratin.
:: Recipe from Donald Russell (www.donaldrussell.com)
Spiced rib of beef with red wine gravy
(Serves 8-10)
Cooking time:
Rare: 20 minutes per 450g/1lb plus 20 minutes
Medium: 25 minutes per 450g/1lb plus 25 minutes
Well done: 30 minutes per 450g/1lb plus 30 minutes
1 x 2.7kg lean boneless rib of beef, sirloin or traditional rump roast
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
2tsp ground allspice
2tsp ground mace
1tsp ground nutmeg
40g light soft brown sugar
3tbsp port
For the red wine gravy:
1tbsp plain flour
300ml good, hot beef stock
300ml good red wine
Preheat the oven to 180-190°C.
In a small bowl mix the spices and sugar together. Place the joint on a chopping board; make several slashes over the surface of the joint, taking care not to cut the butcher's string or elasticated meat bands and season. Coat on both sides with the spice mixture. Place the joint on a rack in a roasting tin and open roast for the preferred, calculated cooking time. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time, remove the joint from the oven and brush with the port. Return to the oven for the remainder of the cooking time.
Remove the beef from the oven, cover and leave to rest for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, to make the gravy; spoon off any excess fat from the roasting tin and discard. Place the tin over a medium heat and sprinkle with the flour. Stir well with a small whisk or spoon, add a little stock and stir again, scraping the base of the pan to release any rich, beefy sediment.
Add the remaining stock, wine and any meat juices from the platter. Adjust the seasoning, if required and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally or until reduced to a well-flavoured gravy. Strain before serving.
Garnish the beef with fresh rosemary leaves and serve with seasonal vegetables and the gravy.

Sony Announces PS4, Loves on Developers, Unveils Mobile Vita PS4 Gaming
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
Console packs an x86 GPU, 8 GB of DDR3, a powerful GPU, and a custom processor for background processing
Sony Group President Andrew House kicked off Sony Corp.'s (
) 6 p.m. press conference with the expected news, commenting, "The demand for a new console were clear....Today we will give you a glimpse into the future of play. The most personalized gaming experience available today... the most powerful platform ever.We believe that PlayStation 4 represents a shift from thinking of a box or console... PlayStation is the best place to play."
Sony's fourth generation console
, which will enter the eigth generation of console wars has been in the works since at least 2007. The console packs a new x86 processor replacing the International Business Machines, Inc. (
) derived CELL processor from the PS3. The system has 8 GB of DDR3 RAM (unified) shared by the GPU and CPU. Sony did not specify the hard drive size, but it promises it is "huge".
The new controller has a light bar, which is recognized by a 3D camera on the console, allowing motion control (similar to the Wii, Kinnect, etc.). The new controller also features a headphone jack and share button, as rumored. The controller also features a power button that can pause games; all games will be equipped with power save features.
Sony DualShock 4 Controller
Games can be downloaded while the console is in the low power/background mode. The background processing is handled by a secondary "custom" chip. Lead architect Mark Cerny explains, "[Our] long-term vision is to reduce download times to zero... if we know enough about you we know what game you'll purchase next and download it in the background."
There's also continual support for hardware video compression when the console is on.
The console also supports using smartphones, tablets, and the PlayStation Vita as controllers via custom apps on the latter two (specific platforms were not announced). Most PS4 titles will be playable on the PlayStation Vita as a secondary screen.
For sharing Sony is pairing up with Facebook, Inc.'s (FB) ubiquitous social network and Ustream. Describes Mr. Cerny, "By combining the PS4, the PlayStation Network, and these social platforms, our goal is to become the social platform for gaming."
One thing Sony views as key to the upcoming console's success is to woo developers big and small. Much like Apple, Inc. (
) Sony made it clear that it's all about the developers and will promote small third party studios and big studios alike via abundant resources and a set of accessible APIs.
For big end studios, there's plenty of room for creativity; high end game titles are expected to feature characters with up to 30,000 polygons. Some of the high end games shown off included Killzone: Shadowfall, inFAMOUS: Second Son, Driveclub, Deep (Capcom Comp., Ltd. (
)), Final Fantasy (unnamed) (Square Enix Holdings Comp., Ltd. (
)), Watch Dogs (Ubisoft Entertainment SA (
)), a Diablo III port (Activision Blizzard, Inc. (
)), and (now-independent) Bungie's new title "Destiny".

Now we are just a few jars away from the end of last fall's blackberry jam. The strawberry jam is long gone.
When I was in England last summer, there was a pot of English marmalade on the breakfast table every morning. I love classic marmalade with its bright flavor and distinctive edge. I had been waiting to try my hand at making orange marmalade after Christmas was over, during citrus season.
Seville oranges make only a brief, mid-winter appearance in Seattle, and I had to do some calling around to track down my elusive prey. Once I had bought ten pounds of Seville oranges, three pounds of blood oranges, several lemons, and a gigantic bag of sugar, my heart sank a little at the thought of the work ahead of me. But the clock was ticking. Those ripe oranges on the counter would brook no procrastination. "You've thrown your hat over the wall," Michael observed. Indeed I had.
The next three evenings were a blur of chopping and measuring and boiling. I opened the kitchen window to let the fragrant steam out, but the humidity was still intense enough to curl my hair. The house smelled wonderful. But everything got so sticky! The counters, my phone, my hair…my slippers stuck to the kitchen floor and came loose with a distinct peeling sound at every step. My hand stuck to the doorknob. The cat licked my clothes every time I sat down. And in case you wondered, blood orange juice really does look quite a bit like blood spatter when it's all over everything.
Having never made marmalade before, I probably should have kept things simple and made one batch. But the oranges were in season, and I had four versions I wanted to try. Now, based on side by side comparison, I have a good idea of the relative merits of a long-boiled marmalade using the seeds for pectin versus a short boil with liquid pectin. Then too, there is the question of using the whole peel versus just the zest. And I was interested in the blood oranges for a sweeter, milder marmalade, as I wanted to share and not everyone would likely enjoy the bitterness of Seville oranges as much as I do.
After all of my hard work, I ended up with the infinitely satisfying reward of rows of glowing golden-orange jam jars sealing on the kitchen counter. Dark, chunky Oxford Marmalade—one batch with whiskey and one without, bright clear Seville Orange Marmalade, and rosy, sweet Blood Orange Marmalade.
It is all good. Very, very good.
The recipe I want to share now is the quickest one, the Blood Orange Marmalade. It can be made in a few hours, and produces a clear, jewel-like marmalade with ribbons of candied zest suspended snakily, beautifully, throughout the jar. This is a sweet, clean-tasting marmalade that is perfect for those who don't take to the strong bitter sweet of more traditional marmalade, the very thing to convert to the marmalade-agnostic to the pleasures of hot buttered toast liberally slathered with orangey goodness.
Sweet Blood Orange Marmalade
(adapted from 175 Best Jams, Jellies, and Marmalades & Other Soft Spreads, by Linda J. Amendt)
- 12-14 Seville oranges
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 pouch (3 oz) liquid pectin
- Prepare canning jars and lids and bring water in water bath canner to a boil. (For full instructions on canning and processing techniques, it is really best to get this, or another canning book).
- Using a zester, remove only the outer colored portion of the peel in very thin strips from 6 of the oranges. Coarsely chop the zested peel. Peel all of the oranges, removing all of the outer white pith. Cut the fruit sections away from the membrane (instructions on how to do this can be found here) and remove seeds. Discard the pith and membrane. Finely chop the fruit and measure 2 2/3 cups.
- 3. In an 8-quart stainless steel stockpot, combine chopped oranges, lemon juice, and baking soda. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer gently for 8 minutes. Stir in orange zest until well distributed. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Gradually stir in sugar. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 1 minute.
- Remove pot from heat and skim off any foam. Let marmalade cool in the pot for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Ladle hot marmalade into hot jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles. Wipe jar rims and threads with a clean, damp paper towel. Center hot lids on jars and screw on bands until fingertip-tight.
- Place jars in canner, making sure they are covered by at least 1 inch of water. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. Process 4-ounce jars and 8-ounce jars for 10 minutes; process 1-pint jars for 15 minutes.
- Remove jars from canner and place on a wire rack or cloth towel. Let cool for 24 hours, then check seals. Wash and dry jars, label, and store in a cool, dry, dark location.

Does anyone have experience with these chunks as a charcoalk replacement? I was thinking it might produce a better smoke...any insights?

11 September 2010 Kocaeli TV
Allah manifests as a flower, as a human being, as a fish, but nothing is greater than human beauty. When human beauty is considered, female beauty is created in a way that we feel compassion.
In animals, Allah Manifests as the "Compassionate and Merciful". It is a glorious manifestation of Allah. Allah shows His own moral values. He shows the great importance He attaches to politeness, cleanliness and innocence. And also in children.
(Regarding suicides) Nobody who fears Allah could commit such a murder. It means killing someone. Furthermore, that person dies without repenting. The repayment for murder is hell. If he has gone mad, that is another issue, of course. But in such a case the family should notify the relevant authorities and his friends and relatives should take precautionary measures. These things do not just happen overnight. There are signs. And when the signs appear, precautions should be taken. It generally arises from lack of love. But first there must be love and fear of Allah. It will be impossible for anyone to commit suicide in the End Times, in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). It will never even occur to people in that climate of love and brotherhood. We are told in the hadith that "even the dead in their graves will long for it."
There is no compulsion in the religion. Faith is based on love and free will.
They call the PKK a social movement. Rather than saying that, it is a communist, Marxist, Leninist, Darwinist and materialist movement. They should rather say that there needs to be an intellectual and philosophical struggle against it. Such an extreme system could not enthusiastically persist were it not a communist movement.
They are engaged in widespread propaganda there and say, "we are on an intellectual, scientific struggle." They say, "they cannot oppose us intellectually." Because they adopt a scientific mask while talking about Marxism. Bediuzzaman speaks of, "spreading among people through the materialist system, the Darwinist system, the Marxist system, the Leninist system." Here Bediuzzaman talks about events in the Southeast and the world. He describes the system of the antichrist very clearly: "Materialist, Marxist and Leninist thinking grow as the power or preaching and description grow." He says it grows one-sidedly and is constantly growing, and that it is time for a counter movement, but that some people are covering up the matter."
There first needs to be a diagnosis made. A diagnosis that there is a Marxist, materialist, Leninist, Darwinist terror movement. The state has its own sociologists and experts and scientists. These people must talk about the philosophical invalidity of Marxist, Leninist and Darwinist philosophy. Young people in southeast Turkey will listen to them on the radio and television. They will then radically lose their beliefs. Otherwise, they will have 100% faith. They tell the young people, "the world came into being by chance, through an explosion, and molecules emerged by chance, then protein, and then human beings emerged by chance from the cell. Then there was a primitive society, then a communal system, and a feudal system and so on. Now look and you will see feudal, capitalist society." The young people agree they can see it. They say that the other side cannot rebut what they say scientifically, that they can only respond with pressure and aggression. And that, they say, is fascism. They teach that the state defending itself is also a fascist movement. For example, that Hitler was unable to oppose communism through ideas, that Mussolini could not oppose it with ideas, and they were eventually defeated. Ideas are defeated by ideas. Our army is at work to save the soul of the nation, but in their eyes that is a fascist movement.
"If Darwinism were wrong it would not be taught in official text books", they say. Look, let's read from a school text book they say. In essence, the book says you came into being by chance. "The state confirms what we are saying" they say. If you agree that living things evolved, then you must also admit the evolution of history, they say. Since they have joined the ranks of Marxists and Leninists it is impossible for there not to be violence. A movement that loses its intellectual strength is finished. How can a movement whose intellectual validity has been disproved have any power left?
They have turned southeast Turkey into a great big school. Some people are saying they should come down from the mountains and engage in politics. But they have been doing that already for years. They come down as freely as they like and go back just as freely. Communism is poison. Darwinism is poison and materialism is poison. My nation will reject it, vomit it back, it will make them sick. We want no such life.
For example, one of our Kurdish brothers wants to come from Mardin to Istanbul. He wants to get on his car and come outright. But they will tell him that is impossible, they are going to set up a border crossing between them, that there will be passports and visas. We want no such borders.
Faruk Beşer says, "the antichrist is the internet." You reject the existence of the antichrist, so why this scourge of the internet? If you admit the existence of the antichrist, you must also admit that of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as). The internet is Allah's sword in the spread of Islam, the Qur'an, the religion. Some people may use it for satanic ends, but when used in a community of believers it is hugely powerful in describing the religion. In addition, the internet shows what disbelief is. We will surely know, see what it is. Allah speaks of disbelief in the Qur'an. We know what disbelief is evil and we will strive against it.
Developing a bulldozer, a snow plow, in order to put an end to terrorism. This is of no use. There needs to be an anti-Darwinist, anti-terrorist and anti-materialist campaign. They open schools and start talking about it right from the very first day; one day there was a chance explosion, then there was muddy water, then you came into being. "So, enjoy your new position; now you are an intellectual," they say. You are an intellectual, so go and engage in work, they say. Once the foundations have been laid, making you a communist is the work of a few moments. You have laid the main foundations, erected the building, the walls and columns and everything are up, all you need to do is to put the panes of glass in the front door. That is why it would be wrong to insistently deny the need for an intellectual campaign.
There is one and only remedy for disbelief, anarchy and
materialism, which is the greatest threat now in this time.
It also embraces the truth in the Qur'an. Otherwise that scourge that
turned that huge Chine into communism in a short period of time would not
be silenced by political and material forces.
- What ONLY silences it [communism]is the truth of the Qur'an.
(Said Nursi)
The Master says that communism would not be silenced by military or police methods. He says that only the truth of the Qur'an can silence it. He says that intellectual, philosophical activity is essential against materialist, communist, Leninist, Marxist movements. Otherwise, he says, they will never stop. And have they ever stopped? No. They have been going on for 30 years.
As a requirement of the new engineering project, since they are unable to deal with Bediuzzaman's explicit statements about the movement of the Mahdi and Islamic Union, they reject the Risale collection, since they are unable to overcome them with the hadiths they reject the hadiths, they are unable to deal with them using explicit references in the Qur'an, so they say let us only accept part of the Qur'an and reject the other part. Prayer, fasting and the hajj are fine, but let us reject those verses about Islamic moral values ruling the world, about Islamic Union, they say. They twist their tongues into knots. But they still cannot deal with the problem. They cannot bring a different interpretation to bear. Even if they twisted their tongues for 30 km they still could never talk their way round these truths.
Harun Yahya TV, 11 September 2010
Let us first come to an agreement with our brothers on this; will Islam reign or not. Will there be Islamic Union or not? They say there will. Then we say, so when Islam rules, will Muslims be as one. No they say, there may be 4-5 leaders. But we say, when you look at the Qur'an you only see one leader. That is not right, they say. They twist their tongues into knots. This is the first time in the history of Islam I have seen anyone so desperate to escape the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Islamic Union. If there is Islamic Union, then it will have a leader. Has that not always been the case in the history of Islam? This is the first time in the history of Islam that Muslims have had no spiritual leader. If there are 5 leaders, then there can be no Islamic Union, and at the moment every state has its own leader. So when there is one leader there will be Islamic Union.
The Master says there will be terrible corruption in the End Times. Look at the oppression going on in Afghanistan. We learn about an incident in one small of Afghanistan, in a small town, during fighting among a small drugs gang. While they were busily accusing one another of using drugs, we learned that they cut Muslims' fingers off and martyred them. We would have no idea about events in Afghanistan were it not for the fighting over heroin. Contact with Afghanistan has been broken off. People go to our brothers' homes and rape their immaculate women, our sisters. They cut our brothers' fingers off and martyr them, but nobody knows about it. That is one example of the corruption of the End Times.
I am sending a question to our brothers on the Risale web site, asking why Bediuzzaman said that the Risale in fact belonged to Hazrat Mahdi (as) and not to the followers of the Nur. When does the Master mean by, "right until the End Times"? If it is now, then what does 'the broad sphere of life' mean? Has it come about now?
Why should saying that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come diminish Bediuzzaman? I, for instance, am awaiting Hazrat Mahdi (as). But I speak of Bediuzzaman all the time. I speak of him with love, insha'Allah. On the contrary, I want his importance to grow insha'Allah.

Eleanor Henderson Novel Chosen as First-Year Reading for Class of 2016
President Tom Rochon has announced that "Ten Thousand Saints," the debut novel by assistant professor of writing Eleanor Henderson, has been selected for the First-Year Reading Initiative for the 2012–13 academic year. The book has earned across-the-board praise for its sensitive portrayals of youthful rebellion and family dynamics.
"I take great pride — on behalf of the entire Ithaca College community — that one of our own faculty has written a book that has met with such success," said Rochon. "The depth of its characters and its depictions of the life choices they make in their struggle to adulthood will give the members of our incoming class a great deal to reflect on as they move into the next phase of their own journeys."
Rochon was joined by James Swafford, associate professor of English and coordinator of the initiative, in thanking the First-Year Reading committee, which reviewed a number of books in depth before recommending several potential choices.
"The committee nominated several excellent texts, including both classic and contemporary works, as possible FYRI selections for 2012," said Swafford. "Rich in characterization and ideas, beautifully written, 'Ten Thousand Saints' will give the incoming students as well as the faculty and staff much to think about and discuss over the next academic year. I'm looking forward to joining in those discussions myself."
Moving back and forth between 1980s-era New York City and small-town Vermont, the characters in "Ten Thousand Saints" — including drug-dealing parents and "straight edge" teens — struggle to create their own identities when life around them is turned upside down.
In addition to being named one of the top 10 books of 2011 by the "New York Times," it was included on the year-end "best of" lists of outlets ranging from the "New Yorker" and "Newsweek/The Daily Beast" to Amazon.com and "O, The Oprah Magazine."
"I'm thrilled and honored that my novel has been chosen for the first-year reading," said Henderson. "Having served on the FYRI committee last year, I appreciate the careful reading the members, as well as the president, put into the selection process. I hope the incoming class of IC students finds the book worthwhile, and I can't wait to be part of the conversation."

THE Melbourne Rebels face an anxious wait on star five-eighth Kurtley Beale who will on Saturday undergo scans after reinjuring his shoulder during their 30-13 loss to the Brumbies.
Beale hurt his left shoulder in a tackle mid-way through the second half, the No.10 saying the joint "popped out and then back in", an injury that has happened twice previously. Beale said despite being sore he was confident that he would be able to play against the Waratahs this week because when it occurred last year, against the Highlanders and when playing for the Wallabies against England, he was able to play the following week.
"It feels alright, it's not as bad as I thought it would be," Beale said. "Hopefully in the next couple of days it settles down and I'll be right for next week. Apparently I'm a good healer so hopefully I'll be right over the next few days and do everything I can to get my body right for next week."
While Beale played on until late in the game, the Rebels lost James O'Connor a few minutes before Beale injured himself, when the full-back suffered a head knock while making an outstanding try-saving tackle on Clyde Rathbone. O'Connor was taken from the field for tests and was not allowed to return when medical staff ruled he was concussed, overruling the desire of both O'Connor and Hill for him to play on.
"There's protocols in place for these things which we need to stand by and it was in the doctor's opinion that he wasn't right," Hill said. "He didn't pass the protocols so it was in the best interest of James that he did not take the field again."
Hill said the Rebels had becomed rattled in the second half and could not hold off the Australan conference favourites.
"I was really happy with that first half, in the second half there were a few missed tackles, one or two numbers short at the breakdown and (times of) choosing to run when we should have been kicking," he said. "(The team needed) just a little bit of decision making, a little bit more accuracy around those foundamentals in the second half. We started reaonable well then a few things didn't go our way with kicks, a coupleof injuries and I suppose our composure fell away a little bit."
Brumbies coach Jake White agreed the Rebels injuries took their toll.
"They lost James O'connor, they lost (Nick) Phipps, (Scott) Higginbotham got a bang, Kurtley left the field at the end of the day there's not many teams that can lose that calibre of player and maintain their rhythm," White said.
"They were up for it, They got a win last week and they were always try and test us out wide which is part of your strength when you've got Beale and O'connor in your backs."
White said the Brumbies, which now has nine points after its first two games, would improve and he paid tribute to his full-back Jesse Mogg who scored a thrilling first try, showing a remarkabe turn of pace to outsprint O'Connor and Nick Phipps, and set up the team's second.
"I think Jesse must be one of the quickest players in Super Rugby," White said. "He runs 10.6 metres per second which is really fast for an outside back, in fact it's fast for any player and I think he's getting more and more confident. As soon as it's a foot race he backs himself. Last week he got oustide Digby (Ioane) and he scored, tonight he got outside James and scored."

Armor Plating
Armor Plating: Cost:WS+1CP Effect:+Armored to area Notes:No aerial flight or alternate movement; cost of Move inches doubled
(see 3.3: Bodily Protection)
Sections of Armor Plating can be used to protect some or all of a Creation, granting a level of Armored status to whatever area it covers. This protection comes at a cost to the Creation's mobility, however - the CP cost for all Propulsion inches are doubled (9.1: Standard Propulsion), and the added weight of even the smallest patch of Armor Plating makes many types of movement impossible.
Other than moving backwards, a Creation with Armor Plating cannot engage in any form of movement that would occur at Half Speed (4.1: Movement, 9.1: Standard Propulsion). Armor Plated Creations cannot engage in aerial flight, although spaceflight is allowed. They also cannot jump, although they can be dropped from orbit or launched from Launchers instead.
Attackers firing at an Armor Plated Creation should specify which part of the Creation they're attacking. Unless they are careful to specifically target an un-Armored section, their attack will automatically hit any section of Armor Plating that is visible and within range, no matter how small or unlikely.

Is this considered a base training plateau? Should I switch to speed work now?
// removed double post
// removed double post
Hard to say. Depends on weather conditions and a lot of other things.
Reading elsewhere on the site you are almost always going to benefit from base building over the long run.
I wouldn't consider it a plateau until you were stuck there for several weeks under the same weather conditions.
With that said, I personally don't think a day of speedwork here and there every couple weeks or so is going to hurt you. I've been throwing in a race once a month and it is essentially becoming my speedwork and I don't think it is hurting me, but not sure it is helping either.
Age: 49 Weight: 202 Height: 6'3" (Goal weight 195)
Current PR's: Mara 3:14:36* (2017); HM 1:36:13 (2017); 10K 43:59 (2014); 5K 21:12 (2016)
Thanks for replying! Ok then just keep doing base until a few weeks before race then.
This is the data with the temp added.
It looks to me like the humidity is what got your pace this week. The bump in humidity makes a huge difference for me, especially when the temp is already up.
It would be nice to be able to put a number to it, but there are so many variables it is pretty close to impossible. I tried to work something off of dew point as a factor and it works okay, but there are a lot of other variables too. On a warm humid day, a little bit of wind actually helps instead of hurts, one of my worst days was a warm humid day when it was dead calm out. My body just couldn't sweat enough to get cool.
P.S. - I've only been running a year and MAFing for around 2 months and cheating at that with an occasional race so take my advice with a grain of salt.
P.S.S. - Your Dew Point on week 9 has to be wrong, there is no way for the dew point to be higher than the temperature.
I've been using an adjusted Dew Point as my "adjusted pace" factor. It doesn't work when it is hot and humid though, I limit the reduction to 25 degrees F from DP. i.e. if it is 94 outside and the humidity is 10%, the DP is something like 40, but I only drop the effective temperature down to 94 - 25 = 73.
It still isn't perfect as it doesn't account for calm humid days vs. breezy humid days which seem to affect me quite differently on my pace at a set HR. I also run when I'm traveling a bit and I probably need to get in a factor for elevation change if I wanted to be really accurate with it. I wasn't doing LHR training at the time, but last year I spent a week at 8,000'+ elevation and then came home to 3,000' elevation and that next day ran one of my best times ever on what was just an easy training run. Conditions were perfect and I ran a 10K training run at what was almost race pace and it felt very easy.
Something about Low HR Training and spreadsheets, I guess we have to much time to think while we are out there running so slow! Plus we have to justify our slow pace somehow.
Kind of surprising that with all the equivalent pace calculators that they don't have something that you can plug the weather conditions in and get a factor to apply to your avg pace or something.
Hi Rad
Some say if you do some speed work and that gives you a faster maf pace then you are ready to do speed work:if it slows your maf pace ..well...
Kind of surprising that with all the equivalent pace calculators that they don't have something that you can plug the weather conditions in and get a factor to apply to your avg pace or something.
there are actually charts online for paces adjusted for temperatures
What I ended up doing, the following week, was two days of intervals. They were even half asses ones: I only managed 4 of 6 the first time and 5 of 6 the next time. But the next MAF time improved. I haven't done any additional speed since.

FOUR members of the team which put two men behind bars for the revenge killing of Roger Millar in June 2012, were commended at an awards ceremony.
The Wiltshire Police Force awards ceremony at police headquarters in Devizes provided an opportunity for those officers who had been commended by judges or given long service, to be recognised.
Four of those commended were Detective Inspector Matt Davey, and DS Debi Ellender, Helen Worthington and Laura Lynch, who were all put forward by Justice Haddon-Cave at Bristol Crown Court following the murder investigation.
DI Davey said the awards were recognition of all the hard work put in by his team on what was a complex and confusing case.
He said: "The award is recognition of a big team effort as a result of a long-running and complex inquiry.
"The biggest challenge was being faced with investigating what was in effect, a murder, and the persons responsible were not readily apparent. Pulling together evidence like that is not easy.
"It was a massive amount of work just bringing together all the CCTV. Then you had to decipher and analyse endless phone data."
Two drug dealers were jailed for more than 36 years for the murder of the former soldier in a Rodbourne street.
The 44-year-old, a former soldier with the Royal Engineers, was found with knife wounds in Barnum Court in June 2012.
Shelton Sibanda, 20, was jailed for life and ordered to serve at least 22 years behind bars by Mr Justice Haddon Cave at the Royal Courts of Justice, in central London.
His associate, Christopher Simmonds, 28, of Mundania Road, East Dulwich, south London, was jailed for 14 years and eight months.
He was found guilty of mans-laughter following a six-week trial at Bristol Crown Court. He had previously admitted perverting the course of justice.
Sibanda, of no fixed address, admitted chasing and stabbing Roger in the back with a hunting knife in revenge for being ambushed at a pre-arranged drug deal by Roger's group earlier on in the evening of June 5.
At the height of the investigation, DI Davey said there was a team of more than 60 people working on the case, with as many as five days of 18 to 20-hour shifts.
"Every major crime investigation you are involved in adds levels to your experience," he said.
"This wasn't my first major case, but it will stand me in good stead for the future.
"But again, I just want to say the efforts of the whole team have been rewarded by these awards."
DI Davey said DS Ellender acted as his sounding board throughout the inquiry.
He said she played a crucial role in making key decisions at the start of the investigation which paid off in the long-term.
Helen Worthington was an analyst on the inquiry.
She and her team were commended on pulling together and assessing the large amount of telephone data which came out of the 10-month investigation.
Laura Lynch was commended on her role in securing CCTV footage from the area which surrounded the area.
She worked through the tapes and provided crucial evidence which helped in the convictions.

THE deputy police and crime commissioner for West Mercia says he is "open minded" about a merger - and claims "the Government will not stand in our way".
Barrie Sheldon has revealed that the Home Office believes a fully-blown merger with Warwickshire is not something it would try and prevent.
He also says the current commissioner Bill Longmore and himself are open to making it happen at some future date.
It comes despite Ron Ball, the commissioner for Warwickshire Police, ruling it out until at least 2016, when his first tenure is up.
Mr Sheldon said: "If the two PCCs decided it was in the best interests of both forces to form a merger, I have been told on quite good authority that the Government will not stand in our way.
"If there is a 'political will' in Warwickshire and West Mercia it may well happen, but both commissioners have got to agree and that isn't happening at the moment.
"Myself and Bill have an open mind on it and we are not ruling it out."
In 2012 both forces announced an alliance between them, based at saving a combined £30 million.
It includes 650 job losses and shared back office functions like IT, vehicles and HR.
West Mercia Police as the larger force is bearing the brunt of the cuts, taking around £20 million of that target on by 2016.
Rumours of a merger have continued on and off since then, but Mr Ball has consistently said nothing will happen during his time as the commissioner for Warwickshire.
But Mr Sheldon's comments open it up to becoming a possibility after 2016.
Both forces say if the alliance was not formed, another 280 jobs would have needed to be cut, largely due to reduced Government funding.
Mr Sheldon, speaking in a Q&A at Worcester City Council, said the Government was impressed with the pace of the merger.
"No other forces are anywhere near as advanced as we are, so much so that we are being held up as an example nationally," he said.
"What we have managed to achieve so far is something special in this time of austerity."

WIRRAL Citizen's Advice Bureau, now in its 75th year, has sent out an SOS for funding to keep the charity going.
The bureau, which does not receive any direct funding, is operating on a dwindling budget as more and more local people seek help.
Consequently a new fundraising campaign is being launched to help secure extra income to boost finances and ensure the continuation of the bureau's free advice and information service into the future.
Philip Howley, chairman of the trustees explained: "One of the underlying principles of the CAB is that we provide advice free of charge to our clients, irrespective of their circumstances, and we would never wish this to change.
"However, as budgets have been cut across the board it has become more challenging for us to not only continue to provide a comprehensive advice service, but also to invest in the infrastructure and support mechanisms which underpin this service.
"We are now calling on the community to offer any expertise they may have in fundraising to help us."
The bureau is looking to appoint a number of volunteers who can work with them to help identify new funding opportunities and open up new channels of funding which will enable the CAB to continue to provide an effective service.
Philip added: "It is testament to the work of the CAB that, 75 years after first opening our doors, we are still providing free and impartial advice to many thousands of local people a year across WirraI.
"I would urge anyone who has a real interest in helping their local community, coupled with a background in fundraising, to contact the bureau to offer their support and help make a real difference to people's lives. You will find it very rewarding, I know I do."
The bureau has a team of 108 volunteers, as well as paid staff, who provide a wide range of advice services across Wirral.
- Anyone interested in volunteering for Wirral CAB is asked to call the Volunteer Co-Ordinator on 0151 666 0492.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/8/2013 (1460 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- It's two points in the standings but it means much more than that to Kevin Glenn and the Calgary Stampeders.
Glenn threw two first-half TD passes before leaving for precautionary reasons as injury-plagued Calgary beat the Toronto Argonauts 35-14 on Friday night in a rematch of last year's Grey Cup game. The Stampeders (6-2) won despite missing veteran slotback Nik Lewis (fractured fibula), receiver Maurice Price (ankle), offensive lineman Dimitri Tsoumpas (concussion) and running back Jon Cornish (thigh contusion).
"It shows a lot about our character and how well we prepare, how we believe in each other," Glenn said. "Your star running back and receiver go down and we still have faith and confidence in the guy who's going to step up and play next.
"We all believe in each other, it's really a good team atmosphere and I think that carries over on the field."
Glenn, starting with incumbent Drew Tate (arm) out, suffered a head injury at 1:06 of the fourth quarter after being taken down by Toronto tackle Khalif Mitchell. Glenn left as per the CFL's concussion protocol but said afterwards he was OK.
"I had a little headache but it's gone and I feel fine," he said. "I remembered the play and everything that happened so it was more so just a precaution.
"This stuff is serious so you have to be cautious when it happens."
Third-stringer Bo Levi Mitchell took over and scored on an 11-yard run at 4:04 to put Calgary ahead 29-14, set up by Jonathan Hefney's 36-yard return of Chad Owens' fumble.
Glenn threw second-quarter TD passes to Marquay McDaniel and Tim Hawthorne to stake Calgary to a 21-14 half-time lead after Toronto (5-3) lost starter Ricky Ray. Ray suffered a shoulder injury at 8:41 of the first and was replaced by sophomore Zach Collaros after being hit by Charleston Hughes.
Ray will be evaluated today.
"It's tough to see your starting quarterback go down but you don't have time to feel for Ricky," Argos coach Scott Milanovich said. "That's the job of the backup quarterback.
"It's never easy to come off the bench with no reps, especially on a short week. Their guy (Mitchell) had to do the same thing."
Ray completed his first five passes before a Rogers Centre gathering of 21,157, including a 19-yard TD strike to Jason Barnes at 5:10 to open the scoring. Ray, who guided Toronto past Calgary 35-22 in the 100th Grey Cup game last November at Rogers Centre, capped an eight-play, 65-yard march set up by Cleyon Laing's recovery of McDaniel's fumble following a 29-yard reception on the game's first offensive play.
Ray returned to Toronto's bench in the third and wasn't wearing a shoulder harness. Ray said afterwards he didn't think he suffered a shoulder separation and was held out for precautionary reasons.
Ray came in having completed 64-of-73 passes (87.7 per cent) for 851 yards and eight touchdowns over his three previous starts. He was the CFL's offensive player of the week after finishing 30-of-35 passing for 413 yards and three TDs in a 36-33 home win over Edmonton on Sunday.
Collaros led Toronto past B.C. 38-12 on July 30 when Ray had a knee injury but couldn't duplicate that feat Friday, finishing 16-of-26 passing for 221 yards and an interception, the Argos first this season.

POLICE are probing a suspected arson attack on a partially built house in Wellington.
Firefighters were called to the property at Longforth Farm at 10.30pm on Monday (April 21) and found a fire within the first floor.
Officers are now working to establish the cause and are hoping to speak to any witnesses.
A police spokesman said: "The fire service told us about a fire which had been started deliberately at a new building development.
"An investigation into the circumstances of the fire has begun and we'd like to speak to anyone who saw someone acting suspiciously in the area."
The Longforth Farm development will bring 500 homes to Wellington.

John Tortorella today confirmed to reporters that Michael Sauer did suffer a concussion on that clean hit by Toronto's Dion Phaneuf Monday night.
Tortorella said Sauer is "day to day" and added he doesn't know the grade of the concussion. Don't get fooled by the "day to day" designation. I'm not inferring anything other than there's no way of knowing what Sauer's timetable will be. It depends on symptoms, obviously, and all concussions are different.

Just walked into the new MSG, and saw the new wide corridors, and I'm sitting in the new spectacular press room — THANK YOU! — which has big windows out to Eighth Avenue overseeing the grand old Post Office building.
By the way, G. Costanza was wrong. The creed goes "Neither snow, nor rain …" It's the second one, not the first.
Going to check out the new seats and the new lockerrooms soon.
Ran into Ron Wilson, whose Leaves skate here after the Rangers. Saw him on the elevator, which has not been renovated. Same old small, creaky, slow elevator. Oh, well.
Will have some stuff later after practice.

After a three-game sweep of Eckerd over the weekend, Saint Leo swept this week's Sunshine State Conference Player and Pitcher of the Week awards, with Dillon Vitale and Rick Teasley taking home the honors.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK -- Saint Leo senior 3B Dillon Vitale (Punta Gorda, Fla.) batted .692 (9-for-13) with nine RBI and 10 runs to lead the Lions to a 4-0 weekly mark, including an SSC sweep at Eckerd. Vitale tallied two home runs and three doubles en route to a 1.385 slugging percentage. He registered an impressive .818 on-base percentage. In a 13-10 non-conference win at Warner, Vitale went 5-for-6 with a homer, a double, and five RBI. In an 11-3 win in the series opener at Eckerd, he was 2-for-3 with two doubles and a pair of runs batted in. His other homer came in a 19-0 win in game two.
PITCHER OF THE WEEK -- Saint Leo senior Rick Teasley (Port St. Lucie, Fla.) earned the win in a 19-0 SSC victory at Eckerd. Teasley tossed seven scoreless innings, scattering six hits with just one walk. He struck out a season-high 12 batters.
For more than half a century, VALIC has served as a leading retirement plan provider for higher education, as well as for K-12 schools and school districts, healthcare, government and other not-for-profit institutions. VALIC has more than $65 billion in total assets under management and manages plans for nearly 25,000 groups serving nearly two million plan participants.

still not sold...I like to get a game of every genre on my new console...definitely getting Mercenaries though
I mean...its that or CoD:Declassified
Ray-tracing being used in Killzone:SF. Given the fact that the was achieved with (at the most)3gb or GDDR5, I'm sure the game will only look better with the 8gb GDDR5.
Now I'm not saying the extra RAM creates better graphics. But this will allow Guerilla Games to push the GPU even further while being able to maintain that 30FPS. So while the naysayers say that Killzone:SF won't look much better than the demo last February. I'd hold out on the predictions until we see final code.
The fact that this is using ray-tracing @1080p, while being only a launch title shows what we're in store for next gen.
i remember just a few weeks back a pc owner comment(Cant remember specific name) in these very pages of n4g saying the ps4 has no chance of real time ray tracing , even a high end pc would struggle. Time to eat your words non believers.
Will the game have dynamic weather?.. If so will the sun effect the Reflections too ?. It would be breath taking for real if this really possible..
Even if it didn't have dynamic weather it still looks amazing. I don't think killzone need it unless they want to test it. It's not an open world..
Look's astonishing! I could only imagine how games would be like when using full power of the PS4 :D

Here come the unbeaten Steelers from Western Pennsylvania, crossing the Keystone State to meet the unbeaten Eagles.
They only play every four years, but how cool it is that each is 2-0 and looking strong when they meet Sunday?
Even without star running back Le'Veon Bell and emerging receiver Martavis Bryant — Bell finishes his three-game league suspension this weekend, while Bryant is suspended for the entire season — Pittsburgh's offense has hummed. DeAngelo Williams leads the NFL in rushing in his 11th pro season, Antonio Brown is the game's most dangerous wideout, and Ben Roethlisberger is making big plays.
The Steelers don't have many run gaps; their rush defense ranks second. So Philly might need to rely once more on rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. He's made a strong debut in wins over Cleveland and Chicago, but Pittsburgh isn't anything like those two tailenders.
Eagles coach Doug Pederson pays Wentz quite a compliment when asked if he saw some Roethlisberger in the second overall draft pick.
"Little bit, little bit," Pederson says.
"Carson has the ability to extend plays with his legs. Ben is big, strong, physical in the pocket, hard to bring down and continues to have great vision down the field.
"I think that's one thing with Carson's strength is he continues to have that vision down the field when things begin to break down.
"So, yeah, there are a lot of similarities there. The fact that they're both very good throwers outside the pocket is a tribute to both of them."
As would be a 3-0 record.

Chloral hydrate was my saving grace. I have slept well every night since I started using it 9 months ago. The liquid does taste disgusting but it's been discontinued so you will have to work even harder to get the capsule form now. For me, it doesn't work alone, I have to take Ativan with it, but it has made my quality of life so much higher. I tried Ambien, Lunesta, trazodone, etc but only the combination of chloral hydtrate + Ativan was worked. Price is also very reasonable and I feel amazing now that I actually sleep.
I have to agree and disagree with others. I am trying to get my pharmacy to find this medication in pill form. They do carry it in psych hospitals under the brand name Somnote. For some it absolutely does the trick. The key is to not use it regularly. If you can withstand that temptation, then it will work for a long time, not just over a month. It makes no sense to take this nightly for any period of time. This is also the key for the benzos. If you can take them only rarely, you will be okay and they will work. This means building up some emotional stamina.
This should not be given outpatient!! I had a very unscrupulous doctor who had me on chloral hydrate for a few months. As everyone knows, you become resistant to it after about a month, so she would increase my dose through the month, then put me on ambien and seroquel for a month, then back on the chloral hydrate. I was a VERY small step from being addicted - I was even looking forward to my dose every night, and taking it earlier and earlier, or splitting the dose in 2 to make the effect last longer, and I wasn't even measuring, just taking a swig! If you can look forward to something that tastes like to worst chemical and biological impurities, as well as a smidgeon of rotting something or other, than you have a problem!! And the effects were simply tso quick and too strong. Within minutes I couldn't walk, talk coherently, or reason at all, I would feel completely high, and I would become quite reckless - I'm a smoker, and I have numerous pillow cases, sheets, and some of my favorite t-shirts with burn holes in them, because I'd forget that I had a lit cigaretter. One winter, my roomate stopped me from walking out the front door in the middle of the night, dressed only in my pj's, and one night, the poor soul found me passed out naked at the top of the steps, and had to carry me back to bed. Yes, choral hydrate makes you sleep, but the risks are not worth it. If I hadn't have switched to a doctor who refused to prescribe more for me, since the ambien and seroquel were working fine and weren't nearly as bad for me, I know I would've become addicted. I stronly feel that it should only be used in extreme situations, for a few days at most, and, seriously, only on an in-patient basis. Only doctors or nurses should be measuring and timing your doses for you!!
Amazing Somnote by itself does not work for me. I take it with Trazodone at night in order to get to sleep, and they work very well together, as long as you have at least 7 hours of un interrupted sleep.

Chloral hydrate uckkkkkkkk I was on Chloral Hydrate for about 3 weeks. I was on Ambien and I wanted to see if something else would be just as effective. My pharmacy had to special order this as most pharmacies don't even carry it. It had to be liquid. It tasted nasty. It made me alittle groggy and I got to sleep, but woke up a few hours later. After a week I finally was able to sleep 5-6 hours. The next day I did feel totally drugged up and it was hard to concentrate, so I stopped this and went back to the Ambien. There is a reason that few doctors even consider prescribing this and so few pharmacies carry this. Chloral hydrate carries so many side effects and there are newer meds. that are much safer.
Chloral Hydrate Suspension This is the nastiest tasting crap I've ever willingly put into my mouth! But when everything else loses its effectiveness, chloral hydrate will do the trick. The problem is that most pharmacies don't carry the capsules (only the syrup) because there isn't much call for it these days with drugs like benzodiazepines and Ambien that are more effective and have less side effects. Chloral hydrate itself loses effectiveness after a month at the most, and the gastro-intestinal side effects are less than pleasant, especially for anyone you share a bed with, if you get my whiff -- er, I mean DRIFT! After developing a tolerance in just a few weeks one would be tempted to increase the maximum dosage which does NOT put you to sleep, but instead creates some weird psychotic side effects, guaranteed to freak out your spouse. In a pinch, chloral hydrate is okay for a few days, but it's nothing you'd want to use any longer than that.
Works well (for a while) I used chloral hydrate syrup for about 6 months, and it had more negatives than positives. My doctor prescribed it after I had taken Ambien for several years and then Dalmane for about 6 months. Both had completely lost their effect after long term use. Chloral works well and works VERY QUICKLY (10-15 minutes), but only for a few months. It also has an absolutely horrible, caustic taste and it must be mixed with a half-glass of water or juice or it will irritate the lining of your mouth. Rx journals say there is a capsule form available, but 2 different pharmacies only carried the syrup. After about 2 months, I had to begin to escalate the dose to get the original effect, and it soon became ineffective. The only positive thing about it is it's price--about $12 for a month's supply.

"This invitation was very easy to personalize and the final product is excellent. I was concerned about shipping time so I paid for expedited shipping. The invitations arrived in perfect condition in just 3 days."
"I just loved these invitations! Great quality paper, very thick. Worth the price. Shipping was very fast. Can't wait to mail them to the guests! I ordered my wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas a few years ago and was very happy."
"The cards came out just as I imagined and I received it faster than I thought! Definitely planning to purchase more for any other event in the future!"
"Very cute invitation! The customer service agent that I chatted with online was very helpful and told me exactly how to get the colors to match on two completely different products. However the gold on this wasn't as metallic as I thought it was going to be, but still very cute."
"I absolutely loved how these invites for my Sister's wedding shower turned out and had a great experience. The designer was kind enough to help in customizing and adding an extra line of text I wanted ("J&E - The Perfect Blend" to tie together the tea theme). The quality of the materials was great. Also, while it's difficult to see online how the pearlescent glimmer looks, in printed form it is beautiful, and luxurious. I chose to also buy the envelopes, return address label wraps, thank you cards, and envelopes. My plan is to label & stamp the thank you's and give that to my sister as a gift (as saving her time on these will make her so happy). I rarely write reviews, but felt this experience was well worth it. Many thanks, WPD & Elk Design."

I always liked Walter. He seemed trustworth. I liked his style and his voice.
Being mesmorized with the news every night!
I remember years ago Walter was a guest reporter on a major news network. It was during a major news event and they were having lots of reporters discussing the event until they had more news feed come in. Cronkite lamblasted them all stating that all the statements about the event by reporters was simply conjecture. What happened to reporting facts and truth. The look on the next newscaster's face was priceless. He had a solid blank stare for at least 3 seconds before he recovered himself and started rattling off more conjecture as Walter phrased. I loved it. Wish I could remember the event.
