On the afternoon of May 22, 2011, North Minneapolis was devastated by a tornado Twisted recounts the Porters' first 11 months, post tornado. Rebuilding their house, working around the challenges presented by inadequate insurance coverage. Frustration at repeated bouts of incompetence and greed from their city officials. Dealing with issues such as loss of control, logistics, change, and over-stimulation, as two adults with Aspergers. With the help of social media - and the incredibly generous support of the geek community - the Porters were able to emerge from the recovery marathon without too much of a hit to their sanity levels. New friends were made, new skills learned, and a "new" house emerged from the destruction. Twisted is a roller coaster of emotion, personal observations, rants, humor, social commentary, set backs and triumphs. Subjects covered include: Opportunistic "Vultures," gawkers, new friendships, a bizarre gingerbread house, unique decisions made with the rebuild - including an internet-famous kitchen backsplash, "Tornado Claus," contractor drama, water balloons, DIY design and work, music, sensory overload, and details on how to cook jambalaya for almost 300 people, in the parking lot of a funeral home... should you ever find yourself in the position to do so! "Twisted" also includes many Twitter "tweets" from along the way - real time thoughts and feelings on the whole ordeal.

Download or read book Beyond Flour written by Marie Porter and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many times have you come across a gluten-free recipe claiming to be "just as good as the normal version!," only to find that the author must have had some skewed memories on what the "normal" version tasted, looked, and/or felt like? How many times have you felt the need to settle for food with weird after-taste, gummy consistency, or cardboard-like texture, convinced that this is your new lot in life? Most gluten-free recipes are developed by taking a "normal" recipe, and swapping in a simulated "all purpose" gluten-free flour... whether store bought, or a homemade version. "Beyond Flour" takes a bit of a different approach: developing the recipe from scratch. Rather than just swapping out the flour for an "all purpose" mix, Marie Porter uses various alternative flours as individual ingredients, and does NOT make use of any kind of all-purpose flour mix. Supporting ingredients and different techniques are also utilized to achieve the perfect end goal ... not just a "reasonable facsimile." Think about it: - Fresh pasta! Yes, you can have ravioli again - Gyoza too! - Homemade "Chinese takeout," BETTER than the real thing! - Deep dish pizza that's crispy outside & tender inside... like pizza is SUPPOSED to be! - Chewy, delicious cookies that *everyone* will want to eat! - Never having to present a dish with an apology for it being Gluten-Free. - Indulging some of your deepest, darkest guilty pleasure cravings... safely and joyously! Make no mistake - this is NOT a healthy cookbook. You will find yourself gorging on foods that you thought would never cross your lips again. You'll probably gain some weight, and you'll definitely need to learn how to defend your gluten-free food from invasion by your non-GF friends and family. (Well, or make enough for everyone!)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book One in the Twilight of Avalon Trilogy She is a healer, a storyteller, a warrior, and a queen without a throne. In the shadow of King Arthur's Britain, one woman knows the truth that could save a kingdom from the hands of a tyrant... Ancient grudges, old wounds, and the quest for power rule in the newly widowed Queen Isolde's court. Hardly a generation after the downfall of Camelot, Isolde grieves for her slain husband, King Constantine, a man she secretly knows to have been murdered by the scheming Lord Marche -- the man who has just assumed his title as High King. Though her skills as a healer are renowned throughout the kingdom, in the wake of Con's death, accusations of witchcraft and sorcery threaten her freedom and her ability to bring Marche to justice. Burdened by their suspicion and her own grief, Isolde must conquer the court's distrust and superstition to protect her throne and the future of Britain. One of her few allies is Trystan, a prisoner with a lonely and troubled past. Neither Saxon nor Briton, he is unmoved by the political scheming, rumors, and accusations swirling around the fair queen. Together they escape, and as their companionship turns from friendship to love, they must find a way to prove what they know to be true -- that Marche's deceptions threaten not only their lives but the sovereignty of the British kingdom. In Twilight of Avalon, Anna Elliott returns to the roots of the legend of Trystan and Isolde to shape a very different story -- one based in the earliest written versions of the Arthurian tales -- a captivating epic brimming with historic authenticity, sweeping romance, and the powerful magic of legend.

Using the name of the martial arts world as proof of the great changes in the martial arts world and the rivers and seas could never stop.

Instead, it was replaced by "One Sect, Two Families, Seven Great Families" and "Golden Blade, Evil Sword, Dark Claw, Mysterious Sky Pill Phoenix".The news of the demonic sect annihilating the entire sect in one night quickly spread to Wu Lin. However, no one dared to bring it up. It was a mistake that made everyone ashamed and not want to bring it up until fifteen years later.The struggle in the official arena had tempered his evil, and the gentle and loving wife had allowed him to recognize his conscience once again. She had brought him out of the darkness and made him into a powerful figure, and the women in the martial arts world had pulled his conscience back, allowing him to change the way he lived and become the true godfather of the martial arts world.
