Following the deaths of her mother and beloved aunt, Kate Kavanagh inherits the family homestead in the Irish enclave of Three Oaks, Connecticut; but the house has changed since she visited a year ago--no more windows on the first floor and gaslights and a wood burning stove in place of the modern appliances. It also appears to be haunted. And that's just for starters. Once she moves into the house, Kate herself begins a gradual but terrifying biological transformation that is part of her inheritance, too; though not mentioned in the Will. With the help of a Rottweiler that's more human than animal, a new friend whose farm stand is only open dusk to dawn, and the "Rat Boys," Kate will get some answers or die trying. http://www.carsonbuckingham.blogspot.com/

King Theodicar of Borgund needed an heir. When his wife, Queen Piacenza, became pregnant, he'd hoped for a boy. His wife, along with her nurse, Salvagia, had other plans. With each cast of the runes, Salvagia's trusted divination tools yielded the same message: "A girl child must rule or the kingdom will fall to ruin." As such, the women were convinced that the child would be a girl. When the queen finally gives birth, the nurse and the king are equally surprised. The king is faced with a terrible choice, and his decision will determine the fate of his kingdom. Will he choose wisely, or will he doom Borgund to ruin?

You can be “fit as a fireman” and still eat well if you prepare the recipes in this cookbook. Though your weight loss will be less dramatic, the plan is easier to stick to because the foods are so yummy. As a bonus, there’s a fitness section in the back of the book, written by co-author Bobby Gerace, who is the genuine article: a firefighter with the famed FDNY, one of the major cooks for his station, and a fitness trainer on his days off. http://www.cynthiamacgregor.com

To B or not to B12
Vitamin B12 keeps nerves and red blood cells healthy. The lack of this necessary vitamin can lead to a host of illnesses like anemia, fatigue, loss of appetite, asthma, constipation, poor memory, depression, vision problems, and soreness of the mouth. The deficiency of this vitamin can cause severe and irreversible damage.
We hear all the time about the importance of taking daily doses of vitamins and minerals, most of the time we don't take this advice seriously enough.
Vitamin B12 can be found in foods acquired from animals, like liver, fish, shellfish, meat, chicken, eggs, and milk products. Although it is found that eggs also contain other factors that could hinder the absorption of Vitamin B12.
Vitamins are essential to our bodies; their shortage can actually turn our lives into a health nightmare. This is not an exaggeration.
Vitamin B12 is one of those vitamins, and if you have been feeling depressed or disoriented lately, maybe you should check for Vitamin B12 deficiency.
MunatyCooking | 20
Benefits of Vitamin B12 are: •
Prevention of the onset of cancers.
•
Maintenance of a healthy digestive system and regular bowl movement.
•
Protection against heart disease by curbing unhealthy cholesterol levels. Cell reproduction and renewal of skin, hair, and nails.
•
•
Protection from high blood pressure.
•
Prevention of depression and shrinkage of the brain.
•
Reduction of fatigue and weakness since it converts carbohydrates into glucose.
