The legend of las mariposas ― the beautiful monarch butterflies that every year fly more than two thousand miles on fragile wings to return to their winter home in Mexico ― is Luz Avila’s birthright. She learned of their ways and their mystical powers from the grandmother who was the only family she ever knew. Now it is her turn, like the butterflies, to make that long, perilous journey. In order to honor a promise to her beloved abuela, Luz must return her grandmother’s ashes to her ancestral village in the mountains of Mexico. But while this ofrenda, a tradition so old its origins are lost in the mists of time, will mean leaving behind a man who loves Luz deeply, the journey promises to bring deep spiritual meaning to the life of a woman who cannot find her way into the future until she comes to terms with the past. As Luz slowly makes her way south from blustery Milwaukee in a VW Bug so ancient it has no business on the highway, a series of seemingly random encounters touches her life: a desperate mother-to-be, even younger than her, fleeing an abusive lover. An anywhere-the-wind-blows free spirit. A lonely career woman who is determined to live, really live, for the first time. It is in San Antonio, however, that a truly startling revelation awaits Luz: a reunion with a shadowy figure from her childhood. Together, they cross the border into Mexico, but they also must somehow cross the border that separates past from present, bitterness from love, and truth from lies. They will honor the memory of another beloved woman by standing in the Sacred Circle to witness the spectacular, glittering river of orange monarchs descend from the sky to return home. If they can share in this age-old ritual, perhaps they will be able to find their way back to love, and take their place in the enduring cycle of life.

Luz Avila's mother abandoned her when she was a very young child to be raised by her grandmother, who she calls Abuela. When Luz is a grown woman, Abuela insists on making a trip to her home village, Angangueo, in Mexico, where the monarch butterflies migrate each year, but Luz is reluctant to interrupt her life. Abuela dies before they can make the trip, and Luz, tormented by regrets, decides to make the journey with Abuela's ashes, driving from Milwaukee to Mexico, following the path of the butterflies. Along the way, Luz meets extraordinary women who transform her: a tough but gentle young girl scarred by life; a free-spirited wanderer; a prim and proper woman who has lost opportunities. Arriving in San Antonio, Tex., to find her aunt, Luz meets her mother, who she had always believed dead. Now Luz must face her mother's reappearance in her life and get her grandmother's ashes to Mexico for the Day of the Dead. Monroe (Time Is a River) has succeeded, in her third novel, in taking a straightforward coming-of-age story and adding a Mexican twist to it, but the characters are stock and the outcome predictable, though readers who take comfort in knowing what comes next will not be disappointed.

"Monroe, known for her environmental fiction (The Beach House; Sweetgrass), skillfully incorporates lore about the monarch butterflies into a rich novel about generations and tradition. This book, filled with unusual female characters, is highly recommended for book clubs and readers of women's fiction." - Library Journal“In The Butterfly’s Daughter, Mary Alice Monroe gives us a novel that, like the monarch butterfly, has a plentitude of beauty and wonder. Luz Avila is a character we cheer on as she makes her journey from Wisconsin to Mexico and, equally, toward knowledge and forgiveness.” —Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Serena

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Monarch Butterfly's Life is a Little Like My Life
on May 6, 2011Format: Hardcover
Mary Alice MonroeAlthough I have finished The Butterfly's Daughter by MARY ALICE MONROE, I will never forget this novel. When I began the novel, I did not know my heart would become intertwined not only with the characters but also with the monarch butterflies' travels. Their journey is long and hazardous. Thankfully, each chapter starts with a heading about the butterflies. Mary Alice Monroe has chosen the most scintillating facts about the butterflies for people like me who are scientifically challenged. Those chapter headings always seemed to relate to the lives of the character: Abuela, Luz, Margaret, Stacie, Mariposa, Sully, Ofelia and even Serena, the chihuahua are on an "epic journey" of metamorphisis like the monarch butterflies. The monarchs have their powerful wings for travel and Luz has her Abuela's El Toro. El Toro is an orange VW. It is picked by Abuela, Luz's grandma. Abuela wants to go back home to the mountains of Mexico with Luz. She wants to take the time to share with Luz the many thoughts in her heart. The problem is can this beaten up orange thing on wheels take them that far.Luz takes off in El Toro never realizing it would become a wild adventure. Really, no day is the same. No day is the same for the monarch butterflies either. As they travel, a monarch butterfly can become too cold, too hot, tattered and torn. Life is tough not just for humans but also, for these creatures who go through so many stages before becoming a beautiful butterfly. In Tia Maria's house there are aquariums where the caterpillar goes from one stage to the next stage.I am glad Mary Alice Monroe chose to write about the monarch butterflies. Their life is like my life.Read more ›

I admit I am a Mary Alice Monroe fan. So I am pleased say that I think this is Mary Alice's best work to date. Transformation and change is the main theme. She mirrored the migration of the monarch butterflies extremely well without getting too heavy about it. This is a great read. Pick it up!

This was one of the most exciting books I have ever read. Not only did it give me a great insight into the miracle of Monarch butterflies and their metamorphis. The characters are so interesting and weave together a wonderful story of change and growth for the women involved but the changes of the beautiful Monarachs. It speaks of redemption, growth and renewal. Anyone interested in changing or growing will be inspsired by this book. It is a oppotunity how to live with hope and a better understanding of how to preserve these beautiful insects.

The Butterfly's Daughter by Mary Alice Monroe is an amazing story of self discovery. This book has it all. Love, romance, mystery, violence, and discovery.The story follows a young woman as she discovers her heritage and her own identity. Mary Alice Monroe compares the life of this young woman with the life of the monarch butterfly. The story has real characters to love, hate, and identify with. The story mimics life in such a genuine way. There are highs and lows in the story that bound me to the heroine of the story. Her story could easily be my story.The Butterfly's Daughter is an easy read. Once you start, it is difficult to put down. You need to find out what happens next. The author has written a beautiful and heart warming story. I give this book 5 stars.A complimentary copy of The Butterfly's Daughter was provided to me. All opinions expressed in this review are mine alone.

A Perfect Resolution by John J O'Loughlin, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® B&N Top 100 NY Times Bestsellers
by John J O'LoughlinJohn J O'Loughlin
As suggested by the title, 'A Perfect Resolution' resolves some outstanding problems and anomalies appertaining to the preceding work ('Stairway to Judgement'), including, not least, the relative positions of what have been called pseudo-sin and pseudo-grace on the one hand and pseudo-crime and pseudo-punishment on the other, drawing them closer to their respective primary complements in both state and church, so that a more integrated conclusion has been reached in which the hegemonic gender of either axis, as redefined in the text, conditions the nature of the subordinate attribute in relation to the presiding ideal, and conditions it, moreover, in its own image.
9781506173535
John O'Loughlin is a London-based author who was born in Ireland to an English mother and grew up first in Hampshire and then in Surrey, where he attended a variety of state schools. Most of his adult life has been spent at different addresses in the London Borough of Haringey, north of the River Thames, to which he moved from Surrey in 1974, and all but a few of his books have been written there, the majority of which, like this one, are of an intensely philosophical not to say metaphysical and even ideological nature.

Honkytonk U - Wikipedia
from the album Honkytonk University
"Honkytonk U" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Toby Keith. It was released in February 2005 as the lead-off single and partial title track from his 2005 album Honkytonk University. It peaked at number 8 in the United States, and number 6 in Canada.
The song describe's Toby Keith's past and early career stages, and when he used to go to his grandmother's nightclub every summer and work until late at night when he got to sit with the band.
Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a negative rating. He summed up his review by stating that this song is an example of why Keith doesn't win Grammy Awards.[1]
The music video was directed by Michael Salomon. The beginning shows Toby Keith as a child working at his grandmother's nightclub, called Billie's night club in Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1972. Then it cuts to Toby Keith singing the song at the stage in the present day (2005). At the end, there is a dedication to his late grandmother, who died the same month.
"Honkytonk U" debuted at number 30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of February 12, 2005.

In various embodiments, a reservoir is shaped so as to limit a presence of air bubbles in a fluidic medium expelled from the reservoir. Also, in various embodiments, a plunger head within a reservoir is shaped so as to limit a presence of air bubbles in a fluidic medium expelled from the reservoir. In some embodiments, both a reservoir and a plunger head within the reservoir are shaped so as to limit a presence of air bubbles in a fluidic medium expelled from the reservoir.
Embodiments of the present invention relate to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/964,649, filed Dec. 26, 2007, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein, and which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/927,032, filed Apr. 30, 2007.
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods with reservoirs and, in specific embodiments, to a reservoir that is shaped to limit a presence of air bubbles in a fluidic medium expelled from the reservoir.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to limiting a presence of air bubbles in a fluidic medium expelled from a reservoir. In various embodiments, a reservoir is shaped so as to limit a presence of air bubbles in a fluidic medium expelled from the reservoir. Also, in various embodiments, a plunger head within a reservoir is shaped so as to limit a presence of air bubbles in a fluidic medium expelled from the reservoir. In some embodiments, both a reservoir and a plunger head within the reservoir are shaped so as to limit a presence of air bubbles in a fluidic medium expelled from the reservoir.
A reservoir in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a reservoir body portion and a bubble trap portion. The reservoir body portion has an interior volume for containing a fluidic medium. The bubble trap portion has a volume in fluid flow communication with the interior volume for trapping air bubbles that are in the fluidic medium as the fluidic medium is being expelled from the interior volume. In some embodiments, the reservoir further includes a port in fluid flow communication with the interior volume for allowing the fluidic medium to be expelled from the reservoir. Also, in some embodiments, the reservoir further includes a channel that leads from the interior volume of the reservoir body portion to the port. In various embodiments, the bubble trap portion surrounds at least a portion of the channel. Also, in various embodiments, the volume of the bubble trap portion and the port are located to a same side of the interior volume. In some embodiments, the reservoir is shaped such that in order for the fluidic medium to flow from the volume of the bubble trap portion to the port, the fluidic medium must flow through the interior volume.
In various embodiments, the bubble trap portion has a first portion that extends from the reservoir body portion away from the interior volume, and a second portion that returns back toward the interior volume. Also, in various embodiments, the bubble trap portion has a first portion that extends from the reservoir body portion away from the interior volume, and a second portion that extends from the first portion toward the interior volume. In some embodiments, the bubble trap portion includes a curved surface, where the curved surface has a first end region, a second end region, and a middle region between the first end region and the second end region, and where the first end region and the second end region are located closer to the interior volume than the middle region is to the interior volume. Also, in some embodiments, the first end region is in contact with the reservoir body portion, and the second end region is located adjacent to the interior volume of the reservoir body portion.
In various embodiments, a surface of the bubble trap portion that is in contact with the fluidic medium when the fluidic medium is in the volume of the bubble trap portion is approximately U-shaped in a cross-section. Also, in various embodiments, the bubble trap portion is shaped approximately as a semi-toroid. In some embodiments, the bubble trap portion includes a first surface that defines an edge of the volume of the bubble trap portion, where the first surface is planar with respect to an inner surface of the reservoir body portion. Also, in some embodiments, the bubble trap portion further includes a second surface that defines another edge of the volume of the bubble trap portion, where the second surface is positioned at an angle with respect to the first surface.

Soul singer who lived the high life
Tue 22 Feb 2005 19.05 EST
Tyrone Davis, who has died aged 66, was an American soul singer whose voice, between low tenor and baritone, had a blues tinge. He commanded a large, loyal black following, but was denied a mass audience.
Born to sharecroppers in Greenville, Mississippi, Davis shifted with his father to Saginaw, Michigan. He settled in Chicago in 1959, and between day jobs served as valet and chauffeur for blues singer-guitarist Freddy King, and sang in South Side clubs.
Discovered in a club by pianist Harold Burrage, Davis made his recording debut in 1965 on the local Four Brothers label, billed as "Tyrone the Wonder Boy".
His early singles were raw blues, and none were hits. In 1968, he signed with the Dakar label; in the hands of producer-arranger Willie Henderson, his first single was a gruff, bluesy ballad that went nowhere. Then a Houston DJ, Wild Child, flipped the disc and played the B-side, Can I Change My Mind, a silky dance tune with Davis moaning confessionally over Bernard Reed's busy bass lines. The record soared to No 1 R&B, No 5 Pop.
Davis scored for 14 years; among his greats were Is It Something You've Got and Turn Back The Hands Of Time. He put together a dynamic band and toured the "chitlin' circuit" with great effect. He loved success, playing up his image as a ladies' man and living the high life. He was a consistent R&B hitmaker, but was marginalised from pop stations when US radio began to practise apartheid in programming. His huge 1975 R&B No 1 hit, Turning Point, did not even register on Billboard's Hot 100 Pop songs because Top 40 radio refused to play it; Davis sounded too black. This signalled the end of soul music's golden age.
Davis signed with Columbia Records in 1976 and continued to score R&B chart hits, but by the mid-1980s they had dried up and Columbia ended his contract. He then toured and recorded for smaller labels.
Davis had a stroke and cardiac arrest last September, and never recovered.
He is survived by his wife Ann, and many children.
· Tyrone Davis, soul singer, born May 4 1938; died February 9 2005

EA's best-selling hockey series makes its fifth consecutive appearance on Xbox 360 with an assortment of added features and enhancements. A new real-time physics engine headlines the list of gameplay changes for this installment, allowing for more realistic checks, the potential for broken sticks, and improved puck movement. The game also includes, for the first time in the series, a complete CHL license.

NHL 11 owners can play as or against all 60 teams from the Canadian Hockey League, with each team featuring the names and likenesses of its real-life athletes from the 2010-11 season. Also included is the MasterCard Memorial Cup, the official logos and CHL league structures, and other authentic elements of the Canadian hockey experience. Both the CHL and NHL are incorporated in the game's "Be a Pro," "Be a GM," tournament, season, and playoff modes.

Includes all 60 teams from the Canadian Hockey League

Great value game franchise changer
nhl 11, 15 and legacy for xbox 360 and ps3 are the best games franchise wise in recent years to play for a decent price with good graphics...in between those years the gameplay is soso..
by zach_ewoldtSep 26, 2014
Awesome offensive controls. No problems. A great sports game for partys.
Awesome game at an awesome price. NHL 11 came with a lot of new control options that really makes scoring a goal a skill. It is definitely one of the best 4 player games to play when drinking with friends.
by 517831069@delet...May 18, 2012
Great graphics, sounds, and feel but still plenty of bugs and AI issues
The controls and details are improved, but the Computer AI can still be infuriatingly stupid at times, the Be a Pro mode is left largely underutilized and unexplored, and there are moments where I wonder if the creators have ever actually watched a hockey game. There's plenty of other good features to keep you busy though, and the graphics are slick.
by snottyshirtsNov 20, 2010
Great single player, not so great online
When I first reserved NHL11 I was eagerly looking forward to unwrapping it and playing the first game. The first few days of the game were great, strategic hockey with the emphasis on team play and passing. Pretty close to the real game. I, being a long time player & fan was elated. Finally the PERFECT hockey game! Then cam the problems. EA Sports (the game's manufacturer) decided to release "tuners" which affected the way the game was played. No longer was team play & smart passing important as these tuners allowed for more arcade style hockey which is fine for some but not for others. It is possible to adjust and compensate for these settings via the extensive slider system in the games menu which allow for almost complete control of the ONE PLAYER mode. Online versus play however is not customizable with thes sliders so if you enjoy playing against others online, then you may be dissapointed if you are a fan of simulation style hockey games. I guess that would be my only complaint but it is a big one since i love to play online. Long review short, next year I will wait and RENT NHL 12 before spending my hard earned $60 on an arcade hockey game that I could have played on the Sega Genesis. I just hope EA Sports wises up and releases a game catering to the true hockey enthusiast. http://stores.ebay.com/Snotty-Shirts Read full review
by thebigbeeperSep 08, 2012
Playing as you read this.
Not much of a hockey fan, but love ea hockey games. This game is very addictive against online players. Takes some practice getting your dekes and shots down. I love this because I don't like to master a game the first time I play it. Strategy is important as well as improvisation, so as to not be too predictable. The only down side to this game for me is the replays. Most of the replays that are shown before face-offs and after goals are the hits being delivered and not the goals scored. It is disappointing after a well executed fast break with a few dekes timed perfectly to score a goal and be shown a replay of a guy getting laid out two periods prior.

Amazon.co.uk: V4victory's review of The Golden Temple of Amritsar: Reflections...
Now that's what I call WoW!, 19 Feb. 2012
By V4victory
This review is from: The Golden Temple of Amritsar: Reflections of the Past (1808-1959) (Hardcover)
Never before have I placed a book in my hands and been so taken back by its quality and detail. The design, the pictures, and the fascinating eye witness accounts are amazing to say the least. I have never seen a lot of this material before and to see all this research come together in one book on the Golden Temple and the city of Amritsar is a treasure trove in itself, so much that I bought myself a copy and a copy to give as a gift. If there was anyway to honor the beauty and serenity of the Golden Temple then this is it. With all the beautiful paintings, and photographs presented in the book, this is a piece of art in itself and a must for all lovers of art and culture.Well done to Parmjit Singh and Amandeep Madra for such a great piece of work. I look forward to future publications, and just as a suggestion it would be good to see a book on portraits of those involved in the Sikh world such as the bhagats, the fakirs and other people of prominence that helped shape this path.
