"....Manufacturers are divided by 21 product types, including “Concrete,” “Transportation,” and the vaguely described “Specialties.” The directory is then organized by the industry-specific numerical classification system MasterFormat®. Without prior knowledge of this system, readers may have difficulty locating manufacturer profiles, which include full-color product images, contact information, and manufacturer mission. The trade name index does not provide genuine assistance, as it merely reiterates product descriptions rather than provides MasterFormat® numbers or specific page listings. VERDICT: While the content here is useful, it is too difficult to find."
"He vaguely registered that she was alive. Her eyes followed him even as her towering body remained entirely still, her face motionless. The boy looked away from the boat, which moved steadily towards her, and cast his gaze up to her face. When his brown eyes met the lapis colored stones representing hers, she leaned forward from her exalted position and whispered to him, 'Save me.'"

Too Quiet Here Right Now?Savannah also blogs.... Try here! american-soma.blogspot.com. "When I started to study art history, my Mum bought Monet's Table, which is rich with photographs of Giverny's beautiful yellow and blue kitchen. The room's delft tiles are bright in the mid-day sun. Shafts of light gleam on copper pots that hang above long wooden prep tables. Other images show the opulently appointed dining room, its table heavy under the weight of food: big, goggle-eyed fish; jellied compotes; pots of butter. Yet, I didn't think about how horribly ironic Camille Monet's passing (by virtual starvation) was until I saw her death portrait (pictured above) in my college Impressionism course.-- from"Camille and Claude and New Work"

The vault of his cranium had decreased dramatically and his maxilla and mandible now protruded, which explained the nature of his pain: his whole craniofacial structure had changed. -- The Corpus Lupi Experiment
“Please, Doctor,” her mother had said the day before, “why can she not eat? She’s not eating. She’s all skin and bone.” And when he opened Beverly’s mouth, a dark empty cavern filled only with the fetid odor of necrosis, he pushed the chin closed and said: “Because she is dying.” -- The Color of Silence is Radium Green
"I did not bark. I knew this would not scare them...the rats that stood before me now were lean and squint-eyed, looking sideways at me and sizing me up in terms of shank, brisket, flank, tip, and sirloin." -- Revolutionaries: A Fable
An excerpt from "North American Twilight" appears at The Nervous Breakdown. "While Boone did not project the kind of immortality political leaders sometimes did, he still wished for it in the metaphorical sense. He yearned to be recorded in historical annals as more than just an oil man. While money and purpose were important to him, historical meaning was, by far, the superior reward. He wanted to be one of the great forces in history."
Savannah also does the TNB Self Interview: "The landscape and the local culture have a definite impact on my world view, and this mood trickles into my stories. I used to work at a newspaper after I got married, and I would hear terrible things on the police scanner. One of the stories in American Soma is called “Horizontal Plane” and that is based on one of the conversations that I heard between policemen talking to each other on the scanner." * * * *
