Kareni Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Not sure what an appropriate Spring title for cat scratches would be.......made me laugh! Cat Scratch Fever? or Scratch the Surface (A Cat Lover's Mystery)? or Cat scratches with Jazz and Gigi And, no, I know nothing about them! ETA: On further reflection, none of the titles sound particularly Spring-y. Perhaps that's a good thing. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shukriyya Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yes. He saw the orthopedic doctor this morning. Surgery will be next Tuesday, the 25th. After the surgery he'll need to wear a splint for 4 weeks. He knows how to use a knife and he knows what he did wrong. Neither dh nor I said anything. No need to beat him while he's down. Hopefully he learned from something that wasn't as bad as it could have been. Oy!

Stacia Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Since Langston Hughes showed up as my soul-mate on that poll a few weeks ago, I have started reading his collection of short stories, The Ways of White Folks. So far the stories, though seemingly tossed out there casually, are razor-sharp: smooth, quick, & slice to the bone. Ouch. And wow. http://www.amazon.com/The-Ways-White-Folks-Classics/dp/0679728171/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395149609&sr=1-1&keywords=The+ways+of+white+folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Unable to settle into any of my books that required a pithier use of my lens I curled up with The Midwife of Hope River last night by Patricia Harman. I got this last week for $1.99 as a kindle daily deal. I'm surprising myself by enjoying it and can't yet figure out what it is I like. From the Amazon blurb...Seeking refuge from the law in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia, Patience Murphy sets out as a midwife in the wake of the 1929 stock-market crash. Armed with a birth satchel and what confidence she can muster, she delivers babies for blacks and whites who can no longer afford a doctor, accepting payment in chickens and flour and the occasional coin. Harman, herself a midwife, transports the reader to another time and place in this quiet story of a white woman who fights to usher life into an impoverished, prejudiced world. As Patience struggles to overcome her dark past, she opens her heart to Daniel, a lonely veterinarian, and her home to Bitsy, a black servant who becomes her apprentice and close companion, rousing the attention of the Klan. There’s a whole lot of birthing going on in The Midwife of Hope River, but don’t let that dissuade you from reading it. The author’s love for the profession shines through in this testament to the power of women. A first novel well worth attention. --Diane Holcomb It seems like it's going to be a straightforward story of loss and redemption. I am hoping the author doesn't get too heavy handed with the characters as the possibility for cliche is right there at the edges of her writing. We'll see how it unfolds.

This time I got hooked and finished it. Some of the truths about life as an expat in Europe(probably anywhere) made me laugh because true. I get to add Luxembourg to my geography challenge -- Switzerland and France are also featured. Wasn't great but readable, gave it 3***. I did like the end.

Just Robyn Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yesterday during our commute to kathak class ds and I started listening to Love and Math : The Hidden Heart of Reality by Edward Frenkel. Ds is a math lover though leaning more towards the philosophy of math than of actually plugging in algorithms and working them so I thought this would make a nice switch from our audio fiction. He *loved* Dawkins's 'Magic of Reality' which we also listened to during home school commutes and he has since gone on to re-listen to that on his own numerous times. The material covered in this book is different from MoR, more dense and complex, but it's written in a similarly engaging and accessible manner. From the Amazon blurb :: In Love and Math, renowned mathematician Edward Frenkel reveals a side of math we’ve never seen, suffused with all the beauty and elegance of a work of art. In this heartfelt and passionate book, Frenkel shows that mathematics, far from occupying a specialist niche, goes to the heart of all matter, uniting us across cultures, time, and space. I'm so glad you posted about this one. I've been wondering about it. It keeps popping up as a recommendation when I'm on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm so glad you posted about this one. I've been wondering about it. It keeps popping up as a recommendation when I'm on Amazon. So far it's very enjoyable though we're only just into it. Ds is the math lover/math intuitive whereas I'm just along for the numerical ride but even with that kind of stricture I am able to follow it easily at this point. Frenkel's discussion of symmetry was both fascinating and very available to me. He's encouraging me to see math as a deconstruction of what is already present rather than a leaping into the unknown, unfathomable world of algorithm, equation, formula etc. I think it's going to be a good listen as the author is keen to share his love of the subject with a wide audience and thus accessibility is a theme. Woven into the book is the author's own story as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaraby Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I just started "City of Dragons" by Kelli Stanley and while I like the story, her sentence structure is driving me batty.

shukriyya Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 This has been deemed the most beautiful bookstore in the world. It is quite lovely and I would certainly enjoy an afternoon or several spent there with a latte and some chocolate. It's located in Portugal which is also home to this astonishing library. Not only is it visually stunning... The magnificent floor is covered with tiles of rose, grey and white marble. The wooden bookshelves in Rococo style are situated on the sidewalls in two rows, separated by a balcony with a wooden railing. They contain over 35,000 leather-bound volumes, attesting of the extent of western knowledge from the 14th to the 19th century. Among them, are many valuable bibliographical jewels, such as incunabula (books printed before the year 1500). These beautiful finished volumes were bound in the local workshop (Livraria) in the rocaille style. They have also devised a way to deal with the potentially devastating problem of insects... :eek: "Yes. To keep books from being damaged by insects, the Mafra library uses bats. 500 of them. The bats are kept in boxes during the day but at night they are let out and eat up to double their own body weight in insects. (There is a joke here about bats eating bookworms. But let’s not). I imagine most of the time just before opening in the morning is spent herding the bats back into the boxes and cleaning up guano." There is something fittingly medieval about their solution.

On the subject of the bat solution, looking at the pictures of that library with all its crevices and spots that would seem perfect for a bat to 'hang out' on we've been wondering whether they are actually able to get all 500 bats back into their boxes every morning.

No, don't own it (& the library, ironically, doesn't have it either :tongue_smilie:). It's on my wish-list. Maybe bats like going back "home" for a sound night of sleep rather than dealing with pesky & potentially-interfering humans during the daylight hours? I'll put in my little plug here to support your local bat populations by finding a conservation group in your area & helping them. :coolgleamA: :thumbup1: (And I do wish more bats would take up residence in my yard.

Hoot Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Today I finished The Telenovela Method by Andrew Tracey, a Kindle e-book on a version of language learning via the immersion method at home. I have read a lot of material about this method, and this book offers absolutely nothing new. What it does offer are lots of Spanish specific language resources, primarily in the appendices. The meat of the book is riddled with spelling and grammar errors. He uses an apostrophe to pluralize on more than one occasion and often goes on for pages with absolutely no end-marks, only commas. There were also many times where he would add the dreaded "haha" to the end of his stream-of-consciousness-like diatribes. I found myself mentally correcting almost every sentence as I went along, which was rather frustrating and exhausting. If you're looking for information on this method, I would recommend reading Khatzumoto's blog, All Japanese All the Time, and then reading either the appendices of this book or the blog that it was created from for more Spanish specific resources. Nevertheless, I'm grateful that I borrowed this book via Kindle lending rather than spending $9.99 for it. Now, back to Orange is the New Black. 1. The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright 2. Winnie Mandela: Life of Struggle by Jim Haskins 3. Herbal Antibiotics by Stephen Harrod Buhner 4. When Did White Trash Become the New Normal? by Charlotte Hays 5.

Kareni Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I recently finished the historical romance A Wicked Pursuit: A Breconridge Brothers Novel by Isabella Bradford. It was a pleasant story, and I learned a new word -- rebarbative (definition below). "As the eldest son of the Duke of Breconridge, Harry Fitzroy is duty-bound to marry—and marry well. Giving up his rakish ways for the pleasures of a bride’s bed becomes a delightful prospect when Harry chooses beautiful Lady Julia Barclay, the catch of the season. But a fall from his horse puts a serious crimp in his plans. Abandoned by Julia before he can propose, the unlucky bachelor finds himself trapped in the country in the care of Julia’s younger sister. Harry has never met a woman like Lady Augusta. Utterly without artifice, Gus is clever and capable, and seems to care not a fig for society. After a taboo kiss awakens passion that takes them both by surprise, Harry realizes he’d almost given his heart to the wrong sister. While London tongues wag, he’ll use his most seductive powers of persuasion to convince the reluctant Gus that she belongs with him—as his equal, his love, his wife." From the context in the book, I'd thought rebarbative meant bedbound; however, I was wrong since it means repellent. I guess that unabridged dictionary does have its uses!

It's usually very effective. Well it is still MIA! I am stumped and so is dd! Science is one of her favorite subjects so it is not cleverly hidden :D Yes. He saw the orthopedic doctor this morning. Surgery will be next Tuesday, the 25th. After the surgery he'll need to wear a splint for 4 weeks. He knows how to use a knife and he knows what he did wrong. Neither dh nor I said anything. No need to beat him while he's down. Hopefully he learned from something that wasn't as bad as it could have been. :grouphug: Will pray that all goes well!

We use long handled fishing nets to capture birds or bats in the house . I have experience with both!

We chase them onto the screen porch, close the door to the house then liberate them through the open door. Or we free them from the net out of doors. I would never purposely kill a bat but I hate having them in my bedroom! Unfortunately they were visiting me too often in the family cottage. It really made me uncomfortable when one of my grand nephews (a toddler) was sleeping in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
