Test Report: Polk Audio LSiM Speaker System
History may one day judge "offshoring" to be the macroeconomic disaster that some pundits would have us believe. Still, you can't argue that it's been a microeconomics windfall for American consumers.
I mean, just look at these things: Polk's new LSiM707 towers stand taller than some adults, weigh nearly 100 pounds, and incorporate five proprietary drivers — each. They're beautifully finished with real wood veneers, are screwed together as nicely as almost any mass-produced loudspeaker you can name, and arrive loaded with proprietary driver and crossover technologies. Sure, $3,990 for the Polk pair ain't cheap, but it's half the cost of many domestically built equivalents.
And the 707s are just the anchor. Polk sent a full pallet of a supporting cast, beginning with the LSiM706c center channel, which shares the towers' vertical-array, tweeter-under midrange-tweeter module, while omitting the oval "subwoofer" drivers. (Both models include Polk's PowerPort, a tapered-cone external diffuser deployed as an anti-port-noise measure; the tower's is down-firing, while the center's faces rearward.) Polk touts the 706c as "the big center channel for serious listeners," and there's no arguing the quantifiable part: The 706c weighs some 46 pounds, is nearly a yard wide, and was barely accommodated by my low, below-the-TV center-channel stand.
Completing the lineup was an LSiM702 surround pair, a single-woofer variant in a wall-hugging, bow-front enclosure. These went on my high shelves, flanking and slightly behind the listening position.
As if this wasn't enough, Polk threw in not one but two lily-gilders: a pair of DSW microPRO 3000 subwoofers of the modern, ultra-power/ultra-compact ilk, in this case a 10-inch design with a novel square, down-firing passive radiator. I located one sub in my established woofer home behind/outboard of the right-front speaker, and its twin roughly a third up the left-side wall. After a week's medical leave to recover from the unboxing — a decidedly two-man job — I placed the 707s in my usual locations, about 3 feet from the front wall, and wired up their high-grade, all-metal terminals. With the center and surrounds in place, and the system balanced up with the fronts full-range and the center and surrounds both crossed over at 60 Hz, I was ready to proceed.
After my usual break-in routine — a couple weeks of low-attention, utilitarian duty — I began as always with close listening of 2-channel music via the 707s alone, operating full range. The big take-away from these sessions? The hulking Polks simply do not "sound like big speakers."
Which I mean as high praise. The 707s effected no over-emphasis of bass, whether middling or deep; no "extra" etching of treble detail; and no breathed-upon conjuring of depth. On technically and musically excellent recordings such as a recent HDtracks 96/24 download of a Ravel string quartet by the Eroica Quartet, the Polk towers produced focused, beautifully detailed, timbrally honest music. And I could easily discern the players' U-shaped seating via a stereo image that conveyed a nice lateral precision along with a comfortable illusion of stage depth.
More full-range music only added to the impression of effortless excellence. Pop vocals were uniformly correct, by which I mean free of narrow colorations such as honk or nasality (especially on male voices), and powerfully anchored at the mixed location without any of the vagueness or slight lateral wandering that one occasionally hears from some speakers. This was quite dramatic on Natalie Merchant's "San Andreas Fault" (an HDtracks hi-rez file culled from her remastered Retrospective masters), on which her distinctive voice, lovingly miked and recorded as always, sounded preternaturally intimate and textured.
With regard to bass, the 707s make some. Actually, they make a lot. I kept pulling the towers farther and farther forward until I achieved what I considered an honest balance; this put the baffles nearly 6 feet from the front wall and left the speakers alarmingly close to the listening position (about 8 feet). They then sounded great for stereo listening, but it's not a layout I could live with long-term in my studio.
Still, the 707s could be a little over-enthusiastic on the bottom octaves. A record like James Taylor's Hourglass, an effective yardstick for bass-rich mixes, sounded superb — if you like bass, and I do. But inferior pop productions with hyped-up 50- to 100-Hz octaves, which include most mass-market R&B from the past dozen years or so, frequently sounded a little overwhelming or even a bit thuddy. By contrast, full orchestral music, which often seems a bit bass-shy to our pop-jaded modern ears, brought out the Polks' full bloom.
On the film-sound front, a throwaway like Tower Heist (an object lesson in all that's wrong with Hollywood) barely raised the Polks' collective pulse, though the Ferrari-out-the-window sequence had some moments that briefly suspended this viewer's torpor. I next tried the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds, and was immediately sucked into a fully integrated, big-theater (in truth, better) experience.
In fact, whatever disc I played sounded clear, intelligible, smooth, and big. Really, I established one beef only with the LSiM system's surround persona. The 706c center speaker sounded admirably unchanged from virtually any practicable listening/ viewing angle. But most male speaking voices sounded distinctly fuller, or even bassier, via the center-channel unit than did the same voices heard in mono mode via the 707 towers.
Pulling the center a couple feet farther out in front of the screen seemed to make a slight improvement, and I will say that without direct comparisons I never found male dialogue objectionably or event noticeably "fat" under continuous listening.

Fox News
NEW YORK (AP) -- Sean Hannity's cable television showdown this week with a Democratic congressman has become more than just a verbal schoolyard brawl. It's an opportunity - for money, attention and ratings.
Democratic and Republican advocates are using Tuesday's Fox News Channel appearance by Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison for fundraising, even as the newly minted feud continues. Hannity continued a discussion about Ellison's career on his show Friday.
Ellison opened his appearance on Tuesday's show by calling Hannity "the worst excuse for a journalist that I've ever seen," and their discussion descended from there. Hannity, who accused the congressman of "ranting," ended the gripping back-and-forth after eight minutes because "our audience deserves better."
The congressman appeared upset by a Hannity commentary just before his appearance that ridiculed President Barack Obama's speeches about fiscal negotiations.
Video clips of the confrontation spread online, and it swiftly became a partisan talking point. Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin tweeted that Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, waged a "verbal jihad," or holy war, against Hannity. Martin Bashir, on his liberal MSNBC talk show, called the appearance "the utter evisceration of Sean Hannity on his own broadcast."
The lobbying group Progressive Change Campaign Committee sent out a solicitation to its supporters, urging them each to donate $3 to Ellison's campaign account or send him a thank you note. By Friday afternoon, the solicitation had raised $21,600, co-founder Adam Green said, with an additional $3,000 for a foundation supporting liberal congressional candidates.
Another liberal group, Democracy For America, also sent out an email to its supporters seeking donations in Ellison's name, spokesman T. Neil Sroka said.
"If you attack a hero of our movement, we're going to come back even stronger," Sroka said.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Republican Party posted a clip of the appearance on its website and asked for contributions. According to the website, nearly $47,000 of a fundraising goal of $50,000 had been pledged.
Hannity returned to the issue on his show Wednesday and Thursday, referring to an "epic meltdown" by the "incoherent congressman." A "Hannity" report Thursday explored Ellison's ties to polarizing personalities such as Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan.
"If I'm called a yellow journalist, immoral, a liar - as a matter of fair play, I did a little research on him, and he's got some views and friendships that have not been fully vetted," Hannity said in an interview Friday. "He sparked it. He initiated it."
He denied that he was out for revenge.
"I follow my gut and instincts on what interests me," he said. "The fact that a congressman wants to start a fight with me, that's his business. I have the ability to fight back, and I will."
The spat could prove a welcome jolt of interest for Hannity when cable news ratings are sagging months since the presidential election. Hannity's average viewership of 1.9 million people in February was down 11 percent from February 2012, with a much sharper decline among young viewers, the Nielsen ratings company said.
Hannity said his ratings have been stabilizing. His Thursday night show, which featured Washington Post writer Bob Woodward, drew 2.5 million viewers.
Media critic Howard Kurtz, of The Daily Beast, said it was Ellison who had picked the fight and suggested he may have been trying to seek attention.
Ellison was unavailable for comment Friday, his spokesman said. In a statement issued Thursday, Ellison criticized Hannity's "personal attacks."
"Representative Ellison was invited to appear on `Hannity' to discuss the sequester, an issue that will harm thousands of his constituents and the American economy, and accepted the invitation for that reason," spokesman Jeremy Slevin said.

Laurie Hertzel began her 18-year career at the Duluth News Tribune in 1976, the year Barbara Walters became the first female co-anchor of a network newscast. But such milestones had yet to open many doors for women at the Minnesota newspaper. Male reporters still wrote most of the stories, and the chief photographer was a man who had spent time in a German prison in World War II and made his way to America with his life savings hidden in an accordion.
Hertzel recalls her experiences at the News Tribune in News to Me: Adventures of an Accidental Journalist, a lively new memoir from the University of Minnesota Press. In this excerpt she tells what happened after she learned that she was supposed to make coffee for her male colleagues:
"I might have been timid, but I had a strong sense of fairness. I didn't drink coffee, so I saw no good reason why it should be my responsibility. Also, it was logistically complicated. The only place with a sink deep enough to hold the coffee urn was the men's bathroom. There was a women's restroom on our floor, but it was a tiny, one-hole affair with a shallow sink, located directly across from the sports department. This meant that every time one of the seven women on the floor had to pee, the sportswriters didn't just know it, they could hear it. It was a humiliating bathroom for a shy person, and it was of absolutely no use in making coffee.
"To make coffee I had to lug the urn down the hall, pound on the door, yell, 'Is anybody in there?' and then go in and fill it up at the big, deep sink, hoping that no guy came in needing to take a whiz, and then stagger with it back down the hall, water sloshing my ankles. This was not something I was inclined to do, so I set about scheming to get out of this responsibility. First, I started bugging guys when they were at their busiest. 'Can you fill the coffee pot for me? There's someone in the bathroom.' They didn't care to be interrupted when they were on deadline, and they didn't want to be away from their phones when they were waiting for a call back from a source, so this drove them a little nuts. And then I made coffee … badly. Undrinkably so. In a newsroom, that's saying a lot. …
"So it wasn't too long before the responsibility just sort of evaporated, and I could concentrate on the fun stuff … "
Hertzel, who is books editor of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, tells more about News to Me on her Web site. You can follow her on Twitter at www.twitter.com/StribBooks and read more excerpts from her memoir on the University of Minnesota Press blog.

Bluehost is a popular hosting provider and is well worth looking into if your website needs to run as smoothly and quickly as possible.
If you're starting an e-commerce website, however, you should not choose Bluehost. If you're planning to sell thousands of products online, you may want to use a dedicated server. If you are not an experienced user, you may want to look elsewhere. Despite the low price of a Bluehost plan, there are several features that make it the best hosting provider for your needs. Bluehost offers marketing services that can help you increase traffic and revenue.
Bluehost's security is another great feature. Security is important, and Bluehost offers three levels of email security.

The Account Management team can help you with any technical questions or problems. They are able to answer any questions you may have and have a vast knowledge base.
A shared hosting plan is the best choice if you need a website that receives little traffic. These plans allow for the smallest site to run smoothly. Bluehost offers advanced plans for larger sites. If you are a newbie, a shared hosting plan is not required. Bluehost offers optional add-ons like spam filtering services and website security tools. SiteLock, for example, can be used to protect your website from hackers, viruses, and other security threats.
Bluehost has a website builder that allows you to create a website easily. This builder lets you upload custom media and fonts. You can even use your own CSS. A website builder can be used to create a second site. Aside from the website builder, you can also install any CMS through the marketplace. Depending on your needs, Bluehost can also help you add a second website to your account. You simply need to answer a few questions and Bluehost will take care of the rest.

Nokia is shutting down its Qt offices in Australia, laying off the team that was responsible for developing key parts of the open source development toolkit, including the QML user interface layout system.
Nokia developer Lorn Potter was part of the Qt team in Australia and posted a message about the layoffs on the Qt community mailing list. He intends to continue working on the toolkit himself, but he is currently seeking new employment opportunities.
Former Nokia software engineer Atlant Schmidt posted a follow-up message on the mailing list thread saying that information he obtained from an unnamed source suggests that Nokia is actively looking to sell its Qt assets, effectively ending the company's ownership of the toolkit.
Qt provides a sophisticated C++ framework for cross-platform mobile and desktop application development. It was originally created by Norwegian software company Trolltech, which was acquired by Nokia in 2008. Nokia transitioned Qt to an open governance model that has made the project more inclusive and open to independent contributors. Nokia also relicensed the open source version of the toolkit, moving it from the GPL to the more permissive LGPL.
But recent changes in Nokia's platform strategy have raised serious questions about the company's long-term commitment to Qt. Nokia originally intended to put Qt at the center of its third-party developer landscape, using it to provide a unified set of APIs that would work across the company's Symbian and MeeGo devices.
Nokia's decision to abandon MeeGo and Symbian in favor of adopting Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 left the company with little need for a mobile C++ development framework. Despite the major change in strategy, Nokia still continued to invest resources in the Qt technology stack.
Qt enthusiasts widely believed that Nokia still intended to use the toolkit in some capacity, possibly on a next-generation Linux platform (codenamed Meltemi) for low-cost handsets aimed at developing markets. That Linux platform effort was apparently gutted in Nokia's last round of aggressive layoffs, raising new questions about what Nokia intends to do with Qt.
It's likely that the rumor of an imminent Qt sell-off is true. Michael Larabel of Phoronix wrote this morning that statements from his own sources corroborate the information that Schmidt revealed on the mailing list. According to Phoronix, Nokia is waiting until after the official release of Qt 5.0 before it makes its move.
Qt 5.0 represents a major overhaul of the toolkit. It will make JavaScript a first class citizen and establish QML as the standard mechanism for building Qt user interfaces. Qt 5.0 was originally supposed to be released in June, but the final release date was pushed back into August to allow for further polishing. It could see its official release by the end of the month.
It's worth noting that the transition to an open governance model will insulate Qt from collapsing in the event that Nokia withdraws its support. There are a number of other companies that are actively involved in Qt development, including RIM, which is using Qt as the standard development toolkit for its next-generation Blackberry platform.
There are also a multitude of major Qt adopters, ranging from Dreamworks to Adobe, that have an interest in ensuring that the toolkit is properly maintained. Digia purchased the Qt commercial licensing and support business from Nokia last year and is also committed to the toolkit. Digia could possibly be a candidate for acquiring the rest of the Qt assets.
Qt also has a large following in the open source software ecosystem. The community behind the KDE project recently issued a statement that outlines its views on the future of the Qt development toolkit. The group says that it will continue to use and contribute to Qt as it has in the past and that it will collaborate with other stakeholders to protect the toolkit's future.
The KDE community uses Qt to build a popular desktop environment for Linux and a cross-platform suite of desktop software. The KDE project relies heavily on the capabilities of Qt, so the fate of the toolkit has obvious implications for KDE as a project. The group's statement, which was published by openSUSE community manager and KDE volunteer Jos Poortvliet, sheds light on how the KDE community views the situation and how it will respond.
As the statement explains, Nokia is bound by an agreement that Trolltech signed with the KDE Free Qt Foundation which stipulates that the foundation has the right to release the Qt source code under the terms of the permissive BSD license in the event that development under the current licensing terms ceases. The agreement remains valid even if the assets are sold to other parties.
There is no question that Qt will continue to be actively developed on some level regardless of what Nokia chooses to do with the assets. There are a number of risks, however. Without Nokia's leadership and investment, the toolkit could become fragmented (if a major stakeholder like RIM decides to fork the toolkit, for example) or development could slow down. The Qt community has weathered the turbulence of Nokia's shifting strategy well, but the changes that are coming could pose new challenges.

Please, let the writers know what they're doing.
Sunday's episode of "The Good Wife," called "Dramatics, Your Honor," was truly a game-changer, ending core relationship within this superior drama and eliminating a key cast member. Stop reading now if you haven't yet seen this hour, which packed a dramatic punch but raised troubling questions.
At first it seemed a typical courtroom-based installment, with Will Gardner (Josh Charles) arguing the innocence of a young client who, the viewer was led to think, may or may not have been so innocent. The banter from the bench included the mocking observation that the proceedings were becoming Perry Mason-like, with last minute evidence arriving, dramatically, in hopes of changing the jury's mind.
It was hardly typical TV-courtroom drama from there. This was the most shocking episode ever from this reliably smart adult drama, a CBS hour that Julianna Marguiles likes to call her little cable show on broadcast TV.
Even before the shocking turn, however, the almost too kind appearance by Alicia Florrick (Marguiles) in the halls of the courthouse to warn Will that his client's parents had called her to request a second opinion raised a red flag. Would she really come to the defense of her former lover, now her competitor and enemy, with this friendly tip? Was it out of character, given what's been an extremely nasty rivalry lately? Moreover, couldn't that conversation have transpired over the phone? An awkward manipulation.
More credible was Will's heart-to-heart with Kalinda Sharma (Archie Panjabi), the tough investigator, in which he aligned himself with her – two humans who live for their intense work, who would be bored by vacation, who will always conclude that "life is overrated." The scene was a beautiful capsule account of his character: by turns cold, condescending, then frankly needy, and finally sentimental and soulful, ultimately offering just the right pep talk. A great last connection.
The dramatics of final courtroom scene were well played, when the accused rages inside his head, dialog muffled, music turned up, eyeing a guard's gun. Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) heard shots fired from the next courtroom. The crossfire wasn't on camera but hints of the deadly results were. The sight of shaken Kalinda and Diane at the hospital was a unnerving. The misdirection – was Will in surgery? would he make it? – was well done. The sight of Will when Kalinda pulled the sheet back, looking unlike himself, was a stunner.
How the season finale on March 30 handles the investigation into the governor, Alicia's husband Peter Florrick (Chris Noth), without the presence of Will, remains to be seen. The impact on the Florrick marriage will obviously be a key plot point.
Hand it to the writers and producers for shaking up a series that didn't seem to need shaking up. This surprise shooting death ranks with the "Downton Abbey" surprise fatal carriage accident-presumably another case of an actor getting antsy. Here's hoping the "Good Wife" team can reset for another season as cleverly plotted as the first five.

Tagged trout used in survival study
Some tagged lake trout will likely find their way into the hands of fortunate Great Lakes anglers' this season, but not as many as Department of Natural Resources Fisheries biologists would like.
This is the fourth year of a trout hooking mortality study being conducted in the northern portion of Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Originally this was supposed to be three-year study, but it was extended by one year so sufficient data can be gathered.
According to Jim Johnson, DNR Fisheries biologist who oversees the Lake Huron portion of the study, which is based out of Alpena, getting recreational anglers to participate in the tagging program has been challenging.
The intention of the study is to determine the survival rate of lake trout that are released. In order to tag enough fish of gather a valuable sample, Johnson relies on anglers tagging all the trout they release. To this point fewer fish have been tagged than Johnson would like, but there are a few reasons for that.
"Gas prices have shot up since we launched his study," he explained. "That's one reason, people aren't getting out there as much. Another reason is our walleye population in Thunder Bay has really jumped up. A lot of guys are fishing far walleye near shore instead of motoring 10 miles out to catch lake trout."
Hooking mortality refers to the number of fish that die after being caught as released. In the population models used by the DNR, 15 percent if the standard figure for the number of fish that die after being released, but where Lake Huron lake trout are concerned that figure appears to be too low.
"What we're seeing is what anglers have been telling us, more than 15 percent of released lake trout die," Johnson said.
Getting a better handle on hooking-mortality rates of lake trout is important in determining the affect of size limits on fish populations.
These tagged trout will play a vital role in the future management of lake trout in the Great Lakes.
Trout that are tagged and released will be fixed with a green spaghetti tag near the dorsal fin. Anglers who find one of these tagged fish at the end of their line can claim a $10 reward by turning it in to the DNR. Tagged fish that are caught but released should have their tag removed so the angler can claim the reward and so DNRE biologists can find out when and where the fish was tagged.
Because of lake trout's roaming nature, these fish could be caught anywhere in the Great Lakes, far from the locations where they were tagged.
Information on the tag includes a phone number to call to report the tag. Anglers can also report tags at any DNR service center.
"We'd really like to get more anglers involved in the tagging program," Johnson added. "Anyone who fishes from Presque Isle to Harrisville can participate."
To join in the tagging program, anglers can contact Johnson at 989-356-3232.

When the cast of Season 17 of "Dancing With the Stars" was announced, two celebs — Amber Riley from "Glee" and Corbin Bleu of "High School Musical" — stood out as shoo-ins. But who would have guessed that the final four would include overwhelming fan favorite Bill Engvall and dark horse Jack Osbourne?
Now that Bill has been eliminated, which of the three finalists will survive the fusion dances, be crowned the new champ and emerge from a storm of confetti with the Mirrorball Trophy? Tonight we find out the answer.
If you missed the big opening of the season premiere, the cast gave everyone, including hundreds of fans in stands set up at the ballroom entrance, a repeat performance. To "A Little Party Never Hurt Nobody" choreographed by Mandy Moore, absolutely everyone was dancing — eliminated celebs and partners, plus all of the pros — while the audience stood, clapped and moved in place. It simply was a huge, glittering, two-hour party with all the highs (superior dances) and lows (unexpected eliminations) highlighted.
The show was full to the brim with entertainment, including a supersized "Foxing Awesome" team dance with Ylvis performing their hit song. There were also performances by Lady Antebellum, Enrique Iglesias and Colbie Caillat. And one of the highlights was a dance by Bill Nye and partner Tyne Stecklein that seemed to show Bill's improvement from his injury as he performed acrobatics all over the ballroom floor. "You would think he was a completely different person," declared host Tom Bergeron. (The dance was prerecorded with a stand-in doing the tricks, but it was a lot of fun.)
After all of the entertainment, it was time for the competition with three couples — Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff, Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke, and Amber Riley and Derek Hough — dancing fusion dances. As head judge Len Goodman explained, each dance was two styles done to one track of music and choreographed in less than 24 hours. Tom was at his spontaneous best, with quips sprinkled throughout the show. "This is so much better than the suggested essay portion," said Tom, after Len's explanation.
Corbin and Karina were first, dancing a cha cha/foxtrot. They were doing very well in the foxtrot but had some problems in the cha cha. Len told Corbin he was a fantastic dancer but he messed up one little part, and judge Bruno Tonioli agreed. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said, "I can't believe we're still making you guys dance!" She also thought they were great in the foxtrot but "lost it in the cha cha."
Score: Carrie Ann, 9; Len, 9; Bruno, 9 = 27 plus 62 from Monday night for a total of 89
Jack and Cheryl had a tough assignment — paso doble/salsa, and Jack had never done a salsa. They brought excitement to the ballroom with a smooth mixture of the styles. Bruno said it was a "wonderful fusion" and the timing was very good. Carrie Ann liked the "back and forth" of the styles, but that Jack was slightly flat-footed in the salsa. Len told Jack, "Of all the celebrities, you have given me the most pleasure to watch. Week after week, you've gotten better and better."
Score: 9, 9, 9 = 27 plus 57 from Monday night for a total of 84
Finally, it was Amber and Derek's turn with what seems like an impossible mix — samba/quickstep. But the pair managed to make it look easy. Carrie Ann said they seamlessly and effortlessly created a new dance style: the "quisambastep"! Len told Amber that he never lost the thought of joy that he got from watching her, and that she was "absolutely bedazzling." Then he delivered the line of the night: "You, my little sausage, are a fantastic dancer!" As the crowd and dancers laughed, Bruno managed to add that Amber "counted every beat and did not put a foot wrong."
Score: 10, 10, 10 = a perfect 30 plus 64 from Monday night for a total of 94
Then, based on the viewers votes last night and the judges' scores tonight, Jack and Cheryl landed in third place. "I learned that I'm not a better dancer than my sister — we're tied." (Kelly Osbourne also placed third in the season she competed.) "I feel I won by going the distance."
With the last two couples standing together, Tom and co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet made the announcement — the winners of Season 17 were Amber Riley and Derek Hough. There were tears flowing and smiles for miles. Corbin was gracious in his acceptance — "I had more than fun" but Amber had the statement of the night. "I did this competition because i didn't know if I could do it. Anything that scares me, I want to do. I want women of all sizes out there to know you can do whatever you put your mind to. It doesn't matter what size you are, what color you are, you can do whatever you put your mind to," she said, as Keyshawn Johnson and Mark Ballas hoisted her to their shoulders in celebration.
It was a great show, with a perfect balance of short interviews, celebrity dances, entertainment and competition, and I don't think that there was more than a tiny amount of filler in the program. I hope that the producers of the show do something to improve the voting to reduce the amount of confusion before Season 18 begins in March. It's been a blast — keep dancing.

Oh Tassel Tree
It's a Christmas miracle! Okay not really, but a happy spot anyway- we received the first shipment of my Tapestry Wool Palettes way ahead of schedule! I of course immediately tore into them and made some festive tassels because, like you, I have absolutely nothing better to do. And since your just sitting there doing nothing, I'll show you how to make them. You can do this with any scrap yarn, but these skeins make it particularly easy.
Each package of wool comes with 2 skeins each of 8 different colors for a total of sixteen skeins. And each skein will yield two tassels which you pretty much make at the same time. I hate to get all math-y on you (no I don't) but that's 32 tassels per pack. Here we go.
*First slide off the paper band and open up the skein to a full loop and identify the two loose ends
*With the loose end that is at the outer side of the loop, unwrap about a yard of yarn and snip it off
*Cut that length of yarn into four equal lengths (9" each)
*Tie two of the lengths into loops by knotting their ends together, leave the other two lengths as is
*With the knotted loop, slide it under one side of the open skein and pass the knotted end through the loop end and pull through to cinch the skein until it's taut
*Repeat with the remaining knotted loop at the opposite side of the open skein
*Now you can use the remaining 9" lengths to simply tie around the "head" of the tassel just below where it is cinched together and make a knot
*Repeat this at both ends of the skein
*Then just cut the center of skein in half to make two tassels, trim neatly if necessary
Cute! I can see some halos and angel wings made of gold and silver pipe cleaners in these tassels' future!
I am wrapping up lots of work in the studio to hopefully make for a few weeks of taking it easy. There is so much in the hopper right now with work, that while there is loads to look forward to, there is just as much to rest up from finishing. Its been a busy, busy, full year, that I would now like to put on pause.
I hope you are enjoying the season and slowing down a bit.... (as if).
xoxo, Anna

It's remarkable how a well-staged Broadway production can transcend the defects of a play. Last weekend I saw All My Sons in previews at the Schoenfeld Theatre, and the time flew by.
You hardly noticed how prosaic Arthur Miller's writing can be because the production had so much going for it, including brisk direction by Simon McBurney and a glossy cast: John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, Patrick Wilson, and Katie Holmes.
After I got home, it seemed to me that All My Sons stands up to rereading both better and worse than some of the other plays that appeared in decade after World War II. It holds up better partly because Miller is dealing here with issues that have fresh relevance in the age of Haliburton and Enron: the evils of war profiteering and the moral duty of individuals to resist the soulless influence of American business. It holds up worse because Miller can use language as blunt instrument instead of a precision tool (as in Linda Loman's famous defense of her husband, Willy: " … attention must be paid"). That liability is perhaps more noticeable today than it was before videos and DVDs expanded the availability of more elegantly written plays from Hamlet to A Streetcar Named Desire.
I wondered if others shared my view, so I picked up Arthur Miller (Chelsea House, 148 pp., $35), part of the "Bloom's BioCritiques" series edited and introduced by the distinguished critic Harold Bloom. (The volume on Miller in the "Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations" series is instead shown above.) Bloom says:
"Miller is by no means a bad writer, but he is scarcely an eloquent master of the language."
Exactly. The appeal Miller's plays — which remains high — comes from virtues other than unparalleled phrase-turning, including their craftsmanship, moral courage and passionate exploration of the intersection of social and psychological forces in American lives.
A few comments on the Sept. 26 preview: Kate Holmes (Ann Deever) is easy on the eyes and, given that producers must be strafing her with scripts for romantic comedies, has made a statement about how she wants to be perceived by taking on this role. John Lithgow (Joe Keller) gives an energetic performance in a tough role that requires him to undergo a transformation that, as Miller wrote it, isn't fully believable. Patrick Wilson (Chris Keller) grows into his part. None of those actors can touch Dianne Wiest (Kate Keller), whose portrayal of a mother unable to accept the death of her son in World War II must be one of the best recent portrayals of mental illness in any medium.

When you were diagnosed? What did the doctor say?
My doctor told me (over the phone) that I could no longer eat "bread, cakes, cookies, pasta, etc" He never mentioned breakfast.
And I didn't think about it. After all, I've never been a big breakfast eater anyway – or at least not on weekdays. There is something about rising at 5:00AM and scrambling to get all of us out the door and off for the day that leaves little time for breakfast for me. The girls eat, but my Love and I are busy packing lunches, etc. And really? My tummy has NO desire for food in the morning.
Coffee? Yes. Food? No.
But on the weekends, when I can leisurely approach our day (usually) as the schedule is much more our own, breakfast can be enticing. I have fond memories of Eggs Benedict from the "fancy French" restaurant we sometimes visited as kids when my dad had business contacts in town. (I am neither certain now that the restaurant was truly fancy or French for that matter – thus the quotation marks.)
It was there that I remember getting poached eggs. I don't remember my mom poaching eggs for all of us before then. And now that I poach eggs for all of us on the weekend – I know why she didn't try to poach eggs for 6 people. EEK.
After my diagnosis, I realized quickly that our weekend breakfast routine – brunch with friends many times at area restaurant would have to change. We used to meet up with friends at a Chicago restaurant that is famous for its cinnamon rolls (mmmm…yummmmmmmmmmm!) or sometimes another that serves fabulous pancakes/waffles…. or yet another that was famous for its freshly baked muffins. Oh yes. Breakfast pre-diagnosis was a carb-load for me.
And the silly thing is, I am not big on making pancakes. I do have several pancake recipes – and crepes, etc. but they are not always my thing. Maybe I'm just a picky breakfast eater. I don't know. I do know that thanks to my pickiness, developing a list of breakfast ideas has been good for me. That way I don't feel stuck eating the same ol' thing. (My honey's favorite breakfast includes oven baked potato wedges, scrambled eggs and some sausage. I swear he could live on it but after a while I get tired of it.)
The other hurdle for breakfast/brunch is when others want to serve with you/eat with you. The standard fare for breakfast is much more likely to be a gluten maze than a dinner out. But let's be honest, breakfast is cheaper. And dinner? Not always.
I remember our first weekend brunch with buddies after I was diagnosed. A group of us began hosting brunches at our houses – rotating every month. It had really just started (we had three brunches under our belts) when I was diagnosed. And there I sat, wondering what I was going to do. Each of us brought a different part of the brunch to share. We tried to balance dishes and costs so no one was out too much and we had a fairly balanced brunch. (Although to be honest, it was straight up carb-load with waffles, muffins, fruit, etc)
When I mentioned to a couple of friends that maybe I would connect with them after the brunch, they insisted that I still go. It's just breakfast, after all, they said. I was worried about feeling isolated. (It's amazing how not eating the same muffin as everyone else can feel so isolating, huh?) I didn't want to have to explain to anyone, etc. But in the end, I decided to go. I enjoyed having that relaxing, un-rushed time to visit with friends. At restaurants, clubs, movies, stores, etc there is always a bit of pressure to move on. Not so at someone's home for brunch.
And I'm so glad I did. There were PLENTY of gluten-free offerings. In fact, people made a point to let me know what was in their food items, etc. I truly think the only thing I couldn't eat were waffles. And that was okay. I had *plenty*. And then we all went home and napped.
See? Brunch rocks. (Okay, everything does when naps follow.) 😀
My latest list of gluten free brunch ideas include:
- Migas (recipe to follow – easily adaptable)
- Roasted potatoes, sausage, eggs
- Arepas with poached eggs – served Benedict style
- Arepas with leftovers (See link above – just open arepas/stuff with leftovers)
- Chilaquiles
- Here is Rick Bayless's recipe – a great place to start from and then adapt away!
- Frittatas
- Tortilla Patata (Spanish-style potatoes/eggs/onions)
- yogurt
- fresh fruit
- smoothies
- "Green eggs" (for a Seuss "Green Eggs and Ham" breakfast)
- avocado-deviled eggs (Deviled eggs made with avocado instead of mayo)
- pancakes
- crepes
- Breakfast "nachos"
- tortilla chips topped with semi-cooked scrambled eggs, roasted veggies, black beans, salsa, cheese and baked, then topped with sour cream, avocado, diced tomatoes, etc
- Baked eggs with roasted veggies
- Homemade GF granola
- store-bought GF cereal (I love Cinnamon Chex!)
- GF Breakfast pizza (and read Betty's comment – her recipe sounds good to me too!)
- Cocoa calas – a doughnut that uses left over rice – this one is chocolate!
Winter Migas Photo by Kate Chan
I know you are wondering why I titled my photo "Winter Migas". Well, I guess it is because you can use whatever seasonal veggies you have on hand (or leftovers) to make your migas. Since I had mostly winter veggies (carrots, onions, etc) and few leftover (roasted bell peppers, zucchini, etc) I thought it sounded more like winter. In the spring or summer, we include asparagus or other market offerings to build our migas.
Truly, what you need are corn tortillas (GF, of course), onion, garlic, veggies of your choice, meat (if you desire, like chorizo, sausage, bacon, etc) and optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, green onions, cilantro and/or salsa.
This recipe serves 2 hungry adults and 2 hungry toddlers with ease.
- 6 gf corn tortillas
- 6-8 eggs (depends on you), cracked and mixed together in a bowl
- 1/2 large sweet onion (about 1 cup), sliced thinly into half-rings
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
- 2/3 cup carrot sliced into strips (1/4″ wide, 3″ long)
- 1 cup roasted bell pepper strips
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced into long strips (about 1/4″ inch wide, 3″ long)
- salt/pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons + chili powder, to taste
- OPTIONAL: Cooked Chorizo, sausage, bacon (2 links per person or 4 strips of bacon)
- OPTIONAL: avocado slices, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, salsa (for topping)
- Fry each tortilla in a bit of oil until they begin to brown and crisp up. (Don't deep fry, they should still be somewhat flexible.) Drain and set aside. (Without the oil, the heated tortillas will hardened and not be easy to chew. Frying works best here.)
- Sauté onion until carmelized.
- Add carrot and cook until fork-tender.
- Add garlic and zucchini. Sauté until fragrant.
- Add remaining roasted veggies (or leftover veggies) until heated through.
- Cut tortillas into strips (about 1/2 inch wide). Cut strips in half, if desired.
- Add the strips to the roasted veggies, onions, etc. Season well with salt/pepper and chili powder.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top. Mix thoroughly while cooking to distribute the eggs/tortillas.
- Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Serve hot/warm with meat accompaniment and toppings as desired.
I love a recipe that can adjust itself to my refrigerator's contents, don' you?
Happy GF Mornings to you and yours!
~Kate and family

Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series has well-entrenched spot in the pantheon of books worshipped by boys (typically, by strong readers over the age of 8 or 9 and by others over 10). In a sense, it's life following art: The novels involve a modern 12-year-old who learns that he is the son of a Greek god. And in my suburb, the series (which I haven't read) may have gotten entire soccer leagues excited about Greek mythology. Meghan Cox Gurdon reviews the latest installment, The Last Olympian (Hyperion, 381 pp., $17.99) in this weekend's Wall Street Journal, and a teacher gives his view of Riordan in a post I wrote in February.

This post is a shared effort between HLS editor Julia Skinner and Katie DeVries Hassman, Sam Bouwers, and Gwen Persons, who were part of the conference planning team for Unpacking the "Library": Exploring Works in Progress Across the Field of LIS. Other planners included Melody Dworak, Christine Mastalio, and Julie Zimmerman, who looked over parts of the post for us! To see more about the programs from that day, go to Julia's post here.
Part I: The Planning
Julia: Planning a conference is a lot of work. It's fun and rewarding work, but if you're going to hold a conference make sure to give yourself as much time for planning as you can! The idea for our conference came when we wanted to find another way to educate our fellow students and encourage them to grow professionally. Having a goal and a framework in place when we started planning was important, because it made our lives much easier when people asked 'why are you hosting a conference?' or 'what do you hope people will get out of this?'
Sam: You can never budget too much time for planning. When we started laying down the groundwork in the fall, I thought we were crazy. But come March, I was so glad we had worked as hard as we did in the fall and winter. Sticking to the B Sides goal of promoting student works-in-progress and open access helped drive the planning process as well.
Gwen: My big takeaway was to start contacting speakers ridiculously early. I thought I was giving the professional panel plenty of time to get back to me about whether or not they could participate, but we still ended up scrambling a bit at the end because a potential presenter dragged her feet. I guess that just reinforced the point you already made about budgeting enough time for planning.
Part II: The Execution
After all that hard work, we were all excited (and nervous!) for the big day to arrive. When it did, we were very happy with the results. We had 57 registered attendants, with an estimated total of 83 attendants (including organizers, presenters, and volunteers.) Our last session had about 30 audience members, which meant that quite a few folks stuck around throughout the day. There was a diverse group of professionals in attendance throughout the day. We had current and former students, but also a number of people from local libraries, prospective students, and faculty (and a few community members too.) Our presenters were also diverse: we heard talks from students based on work they had done in class, but also from area professionals and alumni. We tried to make our programming something that would interest a wide variety of individuals by offering a practice poster session (students do a real poster session to graduate, so this gave them a chance to build and share a poster,) a job seeking panel composed of people in hiring positions, and panels on a number of topics ranging from technology in the library to library history.
One of the most useful things we did as organizers was to write up feedback forms so that we could learn from attendees about how to make the conference even better. We got 22 responses, mostly from current/former students, but also from prospective students. Many of those in attendance liked that we provided job seeking advice and programming on a variety of topics. They also felt that the conference helped stoke their appreciation for the field and that the people there were enthusiastic. The areas for improvement were more mixed, with fewer people indicating the same areas. The idea of concurrent sessions was mentioned, as was a more cohesive lunch time and more time to look at posters. We also created feedback forms for poster presenters, which would allow them to bring home ideas to make their written arguments stronger. Quite a few people filled out feedback forms for poster presenters and for the conference organizers. We as planners also got verbal feedback from attendees, and those of us doing posters were able to get some verbal feedback about those as well.
Julia: One of the best parts of the conference for me was seeing presenters and attendees from a variety of backgrounds. This gave us a variety of perspectives to learn from, and meant that our sessions had a broad appeal. While the emphasis was always on SLIS students, I'm glad that we included alumni as much as we did because they were able to speak as professionals who had gone through the program and could talk about where they are now. Another bonus was seeing all these different people mingling around posters and during breaks to talk about current issues in LIS: we had originally planned to have a 'birds of a feather' lunch where people would learn from someone who's in a particular field, but it turns out people just divided up, sat down, and started talking about the field on their own! It was a really organic process and fun to watch. My favorite thing was a result of having all the sessions in the same room (something I've not experienced at most conferences!) Because everyone could attend all sessions, many presenters (and attendees during q&a) would bring up the themes mentioned in previous talks to tie into topics that were discussed later on. That made the whole conference flow together in a really exciting way! Of course, it meant we didn't have as many sessions, so I see the value of concurrent sessions too!
Katie: The poster session is a really great chance to try out poster designs and to get feedback for where your research may be applied. Since many of us were not used to presenting our research visually or spatially, this was a really great chance to try out our designs and to actually see a poster draft before we spent the money to print the real (often expensive) final. It ended up being helpful to not have the lunch session we originally planned. Since we had only short breaks between sessions it was also important to provide time for people to network and to discuss the day's sessions and discussions.
Part III: Afterthoughts
A few things that worked really well for us:
-All sessions in the same room (no concurrent sessions) meant that speakers were able to refer back to earlier sessions to create broad themes across the whole day; however this also meant that the day got a bit long. We'll have to work to more of a balance in the future!
-Using the conference both as a place to share ideas and a means to educate students meant that we were able to include a variety of programming beyond research papers, and allowed us to cater to more people.
-Having the posters up all day in the back of the room was great because people could look at them during breaks and browse throughout the day. It also meant we only had to set everything up once!
-We're hoping that some of our presenters will publish their slides and talks with us, both because we love highlighting great work and because it would be a great way to archive conference materials.
Take-Aways for Other Students Planning a Conference:
Julia: It's less intimidating than it seems! Planning a conference was plenty of work, but we had a unique opportunity to organize and run a conference that was centered around our experiences as students, and it gave us a chance to help other students who hadn't been to a conference before feel more comfortable with attendance and participation. This is a great way to help encourage our graduates to be active and engaged with the field, and definitely something I'd love to see more students do (and if you have planned a student-led conference, I'd love to hear how it went!) Also, don't be afraid to ask for what you need. Our faculty, department director, and students were all supportive, and were there to help us host pre-conference talks and organize logistics (we even got some funding!)
Sam: Also I would say to cater to the strengths of your program. We were able to have faculty help us with pre-and post-conference sessions. We also took advantage of the vibrant library community in the Iowa City area by inviting representatives from all types of libraries–public, academic, and special. This allowed students a chance to network with professionals from across the field.
Post-conference we also had a chance to follow up with our faculty advisor who gave us some wonderful suggestions to improve future events. It was also good to get an outsider's opinion on our conference–everything from structure, to logistics, to panel content. I had been so caught up in the apparent success of the day, it was a bit jarring to receive Jim's honest opinion about some of the panels, but still I'm sure it will help us out in future.
Katie: Aside from offering a structured professional opportunity to gain experience and practice in organizing, attending and presenting, the conference was also about supporting student involvement. What I think was most important about the day, was that as students, we were able to feel a sense of ownership and the chance to explore and express our ideas, to take chances, and to develop a stronger sense of who we might be as professionals. The more we can do, and the more chances we can take and follow through with while in school, the more we can do when we get out.
When the day was finally through we left feeling both exhilarated and exhausted. After organizing and managing the day it was really important to have a day to decompress. In fact, I spent most of the next day lounging and catching up on my blog reader subscriptions and my favorite television series. It is important to decompress a bit after the big day. Give yourself some time and just a bit of distance so that you can approach the post-conference assessment and reporting with a clear head.
Don't just let the conference float. Make sure you plan post-conference activities and make room in your timeline for assessment, organizer debriefs, and stakeholder/supporter presentations. Since our conference was the first of its kind at our school, we knew it would be important to gather formal feedback and provide attendees a venue to assess the success of the conference as well. Melody put together some really amazing formal feedback forms that prompted pointed feedback and gave us some great insight into the overall success of the conference.
Assessment is extremely important. If you set clear conference outcome goals near the beginning of the planning, make sure you also plan for assessment. Assessment is not only an important professional skill to adapt, but it is a really great way to record, reflect and gain professional (and maybe even financial) support for any successive conferences or programs your organization might wish to plan.
