Hunk and a Half
I recently bought this hammock for backpacking this summer and I have nothing bad to say about it. It is a very affordable price even when you include the slap straps with it. The rip stop material is very nice and comfortable. I would recommend this hammock to anyone that is an outdoors person. These are even great to just take outback and just relax for a little bit.
ENO Hammock is the bomb! It's durable, stylish, lightweight, and very packable. I've used mine in the summer, fall, almost-winter, and even inside. In fact, I slept in this hammock for about two months straight underneath my roommate's bunkbed in our dorm room, and it was some of the best sleep I've ever had. Being able to take this hammock anywhere for a nap is a huge advantage, and no one does it better than ENO. Hammocks for life!
The hammock packs up into included pouch and it includes compression straps for easy packing. The hammock is durable and super easy to clean. I would recommend the double nest though, even if it is just you hanging out...its provides more room to move around in.
This is one of the best things we have purchased in a while. Everyone loves it and they almost fight to get in it. You can hook it up anywhere, inside or out and multiple people can get it. Don't forget the slap straps, trust me you will enjoy this. This is the hot item in this part of Texas....and heck we don't even have many trees here...so where it gets set up is always interesting.
ENO's are the BEST! We love mounting these on trees, and you can even stack three on top of each other. So much fun for a group camping trip, and great to sleep in. I wish I could upload a photo of our "ENO Village" from a recent trip. Side note, doesn't work without the straps, which are sold separately.
This is a great hammock. I haven't had the opportunity to put it through the wringer outside, but I've slept in it for a few nights in a cabin and it was excellent. The hammock stuffs up really small, doesn't weigh much, and is great for just throwing in my bag and taking along. I'm impressed at how sturdy it is. You can fit two people in here (under 400lbs total of course) reasonably comfortably. If you plan on doing that regularly, however, I would consider getting the double nest. Same weight rating, but more fabric on the bigger one. The nylon in impressively strong, and you don't have to worry about it struggling to hold you. Overall a great product.I never quite realized how much fun hammocks could be until I bought one of these for myself. When my friends realized it, they bought ones too.
The single nest is perfect for me, and is better than sleeping on the ground. It's cold during winter, even with a sleeping bag. If you want to 'mock in the winter, get the under quilt. Also, get the slap straps, you can't really hang it without them.
This is my new favorite piece of gear in my trail aresenal. Setup takes seconds and you can lounge in total comfort. Only small gripe is the single is just a shade to small. But i deal with it and would not trade it for anything.
I used this several times over the summer while camping and it was great on hot and humid nights when a sleeping bag would have been way too hot. The only problem I ever had was dealing with mosquitoes but ENO sells a bug net so they've got you covered. I would also recommend buying slap straps because they make set up quick and easy.
I've had this product for a little over a year and I love it today as much as the day I received it. The material used to make this hammock is lightweight, breathable, highly durable, and strong. I have used this both outdoors as well as indoors (eyebolts into studs). This hammock is perfect outside in the summer with a nice breeze passing by. Make the right decision and opt for this ENO Hammock!
I love this hammock - first one I ever got. Super cheap, super comfortable, super stylish, and super lightweight and compact. I love it for climbing trips, it's great when you don't have a tent to camp in, and I love it at school where I can enjoy the weather and do homework. Everyone is so jealous :) I can fit me and another person in it, although your leg might fall asleep. Also love the pocket on the side (which is the bag the hammock fits in, duh) to put cellphone or snacks in - I don't care if you're a climber or not, if you enjoy sitting outside, you better get it!

I know that everyone has gone ga-ga over the fact that the Wii can play old console games (as referenced here). And Oglethorpe pointed out at the end of the thread that if you want to play games on your computer, you can get an emulator.
I recently "dusted" off my MAME32 from my computer and started playing the different games I had downloaded, and I had forgotten just how good some of these games were.
For me, I first downloaded the WWF arcade games, WWF Superstars and WWF Wrestlefest. I loved playing those games in the arcade, and pumped plenty of quarters into. I recently played both games to their completion, something that would've cost me a small fortune.
I also downloaded Cyberball, which was a robot football game. That game was the first football videogame game I ever played, and it was hard as hell to play in the arcade. It had six "periods", after each you would have to put in a quarter. So one game would cost you $1.50. But then you were given the opportunity to "upgrade" your robots if they were breaking down, which would invariably happen. And that would occur every break too. That would be another $1.25. So, you could easily drop $3 playing one game all the way through. Now, it's free.
But my favorite game that I have has to be Hit The Ice. This game is really cool, because it's a 2-on-2 hockey game, much like NBA Jam. The action is furious, and I've grown to really appreciate this game as much as my old Genesis NHL '94 game for replayability. I strongly recommend downloading this gem, which never really caught on in the arcades.

Rubies and Black Velvet
Denise Rossetti - Author

ISBN 9781101611128 | 128 pages | 05 Feb 2013 | Berkley
Summary of Rubies and Black Velvet Summary of Rubies and Black Velvet Reviews for Rubies and Black Velvet An Excerpt from Rubies and Black Velvet
Denise Rossetti goes beyond the limits of desire with this positively combustible novella of magic and erotic adventure—as dangerous as it's desirable.
It was a deceptively beautiful corset trimmed with heartsblood rubies, but fashioned by the vengeful spirit of a dark sorceress, a vixen of the dark forever.
Once the cursed laces tighten around the vulnerable Meggie, so does the grip of the sorceress's escapable curse—one with the ability to transform any woman into a ferociously dominating and limitlessly inventive femme fatale. Now trapped in an erotic dance of domination and submission, as both cruel mistress and helpless slave, Meggie must do everything in her power to resist the corset's hypnotic pull, or she could destroy the only man she ever loved.

19th century home near downtown torched by arsonist
It may have been the oldest in historic Lavaca Neighborhood
A house in San Antonio's historic Lavaca Neighborhood, which appears to have been torched by an arsonist, was built in the late 1800s, according to the city's Office of Historic Preservation.
Director Shanon Miller said the home may have been the oldest one that's still standing in one of San Antonio's oldest neighborhoods.
"It was built about 1870. It's one of the original ... caliche block houses in the neighborhood," Miller said.
The house, with its windows boarded up, had stood vacant for several years.
Shortly before 5 a.m. Thursday, someone apparently tried to burn it down by setting fire to it.
"We just got here to see about a 20-foot flame coming out of that roof," said Battalion Chief Gabe Ortega, with the San Antonio Fire Department. "There are no utilities, no gas, no electric. So something started that fire."
Arson investigators were called to the scene to try to determine who or what might be behind the blaze.
Frank Hernandez, who lives in a nearby high rise apartment building, said he knew instantly that the fire was no accident.
He called 911 after spotting the flames from his window.
"I've never seen anyone going in that house in the 6 ½ years I've lived here," Hernandez said. "It's definitely arson."
The fire destroyed everything but the four outer walls.
Still, Miller is hopeful this will not be the end of this piece of history.
"The walls are still standing and, certainly, salvageable, so we're still hopeful that the house will be reused," she said.

honduras: the popular struggle against mining
They extract and export the minerals, and leave behind a poison that contaminates the soil, water, plants, animals and human beings. Cyanide and nitrates are their legacy, while the companies accumulate capital with the gold and other minerals they take away.
what happened?
The aim of the project was to train community, environmental and human rights leaders and students about the impacts of mining in Honduras, and its negative implications for the sustainable development of the country. Thus 50 leaders from urban and rural communities were trained on health and environmental impacts of mining activities, and the consequences of such activities in relation to human rights abuses. The training also reached 10 students from 5 educational institutions, who were able to analyze those impacts and how they undermine any potential for sustainable development in Honduras. Popular education methodologies were applied and educational materials were produced on the basis of previously published articles and studies, so the leaders and representatives of social organizations could read them in their homes and share them with neighbors and friends.
One of the methodologies was that of participatory research – following the collective analysis among the participants, a series of mobilizations were organized to put pressure on the authorities and to raise public awareness. Key problems associated with mining were identified by the communities, the depletion and pollution of water sources, and the high rates of sicknesses in the nearby population, particularly affecting women and children. The training led to a big demonstration against mining on December 9 in front of the Congress.
Furthermore, as a result of the process, two communities got organized to fight for their rights. One community demanded a water project from the government, which is now being implemented, and the neighborhood Mary de Flores demanded the improvement of their community roads.
lessons learned?
It is important to avoid having a reductionist approach to mining. All dimensions of sustainability should be considered and analyzed while assessing the impacts of mining in the communities and their territories, as well as at the national level. The struggle against mining is not only about fighting against pollution, but about a holistic approach, which implies a deep understanding of all factors undermining sustainability and justice, and the right to a healthy environment.
In order to mobilize against mining, the strong involvement of grassroots movements and communities is crucial. Communities start to mobilize as soon as they find the appropriate tools to understand the problems they face and the root causes of such problems.
what's next?
At the local level. FoE Honduras has identified the need to continue its capacity building efforts to further reach the communities, particularly with kids and young people. Another key area of work for future initiatives is for communities to be able to design a future in the context of their collective history and the root causes of current social/environmental problems.
There is a need to systematize the different experiences in the region and worldwide in the struggle against mining. Community exchanges are also key as they allow communities to share their experiences and concerns. Alliance building is the third aspect that needs to be further developed at the local, national, regional and international levels.

White House - Vice President Biden Concludes "Road to Recovery" Tour with Michigan Groundbreaking
Vice President Biden concluded a two-day, three-state 'Road to Recovery' tour with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where they attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the I-94 widening and Westnedge Avenue interchange reconstruction project.
Since this project was announced in April, an additional 2500 transportation construction projects have been funded under the Recovery Act, for a total of approximately 4500 projects in 53 states and U.S. territories.
Vice President Biden also announced that the Treasury Department is making Recovery Zone Bonds available today, $2 billion of which are going to the state of Michigan. The Recovery Zone Bond program was created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and helps states and communities hardest hit by this recession attract new jobs and new private investment. Michigan counties are three of the top ten recipients of Recovery Zone Bond allocations. [06/12/09]
Tampa Bay Business Journal (Florida) - U.S. Treasury allocates recovery bonds for Tampa Bay communities
The U.S. Treasury Department announced $25 billion in bond authority as part of the Obama administration's stimulus efforts.
The Recovery Zone Bonds were created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and are targeted to areas particularly affected by job loss. They will help local governments obtain financing for much needed economic development projects, such as public infrastructure development, the release said.
The city of Tampa received more than $20 million in bond authority under the program, including $8 million in million in economic development bond authority and $12.1 million in facility bond authority. For the city of St. Petersburg, there's $6.2 million in economic development bond authority and $9.3 million in facility bond authority. The city of Clearwater has $2.7 million in economic development bond authority and $4 million in facility bond authority. [06/12/09]
Associated Press (Kentucky) - Stimulus funds to be used in Paducah
The project to clean up contaminated buildings at a nuclear enrichment plant in Paducah is getting a $40 million boost from federal stimulus money.
Ted Theopolos, spokesman for the Lexington-based Department of Energy project office that oversees the plant, said the funds will go toward hiring more than 50 people over the next two months to work on the plant site.
Paducah's share is about 1.3 percent of $6 billion in new stimulus funding to hasten nuclear cleanup and create thousands of jobs across 12 states, including Tennessee, which is receiving $755 million for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Illinois, which is getting $99 million for work at the Argonne National Laboratory.
Eight people have been hired to date, including 59-year-old John Crowder, who was laid off in late 2005 from his 19-year job as a maintenance mechanic at Mayfield's Continental Tire plant. The factory later closed, costing hundreds of jobs.
'A lot of companies feel older workers are through,' Crowder said. 'To get hired, I feel good.' [06/14/09]
Foster's Daily Democrat (New Hampshire) - Federal stimulus dollars fueling Wildcat Transit
Wildcat Transit will soon have four new buses after the University of New Hampshire received more than $1.7 million through the federal stimulus program.
The $1,776,000 grant will be used to replace four 35-foot compressed natural gas buses in the current fleet that are 'at the end of their life,' said UNH spokeswoman Director Erika Mantz.
'UNH is pleased to be the recipient of this stimulus money that Rep. (Carol) Shea-Porter has brought into the state of New Hampshire,' she said. 'It will allow us to replace again buses and save money in the long-term.'
'This grant is great news for UNH students,' Shea-Porter said. 'UNH students use the campus shuttle every day, and it is important that it runs smoothly.' [06/13/09]
Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's first stimulus-funded construction project under way
Hawaii's first construction project using federal stimulus money is now under way at Kahului Airport. The $23.8 million project to relocate security equipment started May 15 and will last until mid-2010.
While relatively small, the project provides the first indication of how the state will use an estimated $500 million to $950 million in added federal funds that will be pumped into Hawaii's flagging economy during the next several years.
Overall, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act promises to create or save 15,000 jobs statewide over a two-year period. [6/15/09]
Richmond Times Dispatch (Virginia) - Stimulus plan means job for 600 youths
More than 600 young people in the Richmond area will go to work this summer because of a big boost in funding from the federal stimulus program.
The newly formed Capital Region Workforce Partnership is channeling about $1.1 million of stimulus money into youth summer work programs, beginning today in Hanover County.
Most of the money spent this summer will go to young people ages 14 to 24 as incentive payments for work and training at job sites in Richmond and seven regional counties.
The money is a godsend for youth programs in the Richmond area, where just $225,000 was available from the Workforce Investment Act last year for year-round initiatives in the seven counties, and about $676,000 in Richmond, where the concentration of economically disadvantaged youths is much higher.

Times and Democrat (Orangeburg, South Carolina) - More fed money available for local projects
Area government and business leaders are eager to learn about a new federal bond program that promises another source of financing for capital improvements.
The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday announced the availability of more than $327 million in financing for South Carolina state and local governments... City of Orangeburg Administrator John Yow said, "This is another way to potentially secure approximately $2 million for some capital projects that are currently underfunded, like the city recreation facility. We will look at this program along with traditional funding sources later this year and determine what is best for the city." [06/13/09]
Orlando Sentinel (Florida) - Stimulus cash could help recession-weary builders
Builders may benefit from several state and federal stimulus and relief programs, including an energy rebate that takes effect July 1.
Florida Home Builders Association Vice President David Hart outlined programs ranging from the federal government's $8,000 credit for first-time buyers to appropriations for home weatherization and a tax credit for installations of residential solar, wind and geothermal equipment. [06/15/09]

Is "You Are What You Eat" True For Pets?
Make Sure Your Pet's Getting the Nutrition It Deserves?
Although the United States Food and Drug Administration responsible for pet food regulations has taken some measures toward improving tracking and response methods during the past pet food safety crisis, legislation to enforce stricter standards for ingredient testing and food quality is still in the works.
All ingredient listings are regulated and defined by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).
AAFCO is an independent corporation that aids industry and government representatives in setting the standards for the animal feed industry. Although pet foods are not required by law to follow AAFCO standards, most do and will state this on their label.
While analyzing a label can be a daunting task, it is the owner's primary source of information. The most important things to look at are the sources of protein, fat, and the type of preservatives used.
What You should Look For in a High Quality Food
Protein should be listed by name, such as chicken, beef, salmon, lamb, etc., and a generic term "meat" or "meat by-products." The same standard should be used when looking at the source of fat. Avoid generic listings such as vegetable oil, animal fat, or poultry fat.
Avoid foods with artificial preservatives such as BHA/BHT or ethoxyquin. High-quality foods use natural preservatives such as mixed tocopherols, vitamin C sources such as ascorbic acid, rosemary extract, and other herbs or antioxidants.
"Since the vet didn't have anything to help with liver and pancreatic health, I turned to two of your products -Immunity & Liver Support and Liver Aid – and started a lower fat diet… Now at almost 9 years old, he's acting like a puppy again... I have become such a believer... Thank you so much for your great products."
A sure way to evaluate your pet's overall health is by observing his coat. A lackluster coat should be considered a warning sign that nutritional needs aren't being met.
Another way is to take note of energy levels. A fatigued pet is hardly healthy and one of the causes could be insufficient nutrients in his food.
Natural remedies are a safe alternative to help support your pet's health. Spirulina, for example, can be used in pets to support energy, immune system and liver functioning, as well as overall systemic health.
Dandelion is known to contain bitter principles, which have a beneficial effect on the liver and digestive system. Dandelion is also a source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, D, C, various B vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese.
Keeping these key factors in mind will be of great help when looking at different pet foods for your companion. And although paying a little extra for natural supplements and high-quality organic foods might seem like a lot, it will save most likely save you money in veterinary bills in the long-term—and most importantly, provide your pet with the priceless gifts of health and vitality.

Alternative Names
Angina – stable; Angina – chronic; Angina pectoris
Definition of Stable angina
Stable angina is or discomfort that typically occurs with activity or stress. Angina is a type of chest discomfort caused by poor blood flow through the blood vessels (coronary vessels) of the heart muscle (myocardium).
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Your heart muscle is working all the time, so it needs a continuous supply of oxygen. This oxygen is provided by the coronary arteries, which carry blood.
Symptoms of stable angina are often predictable. This means that the same amount of exercise or activity may cause your angina to occur. Your angina should improve or go away when you stop or slow down the exercise.
Signs and tests
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and measure your blood pressure. The following tests may be done to diagnose or rule out angina:
The options for treating angina include lifestyle changes, medications, and invasive procedures such as coronary or stent placement and .
Expectations (prognosis)
Stable angina usually improves with medication.

April Fools: Google fills HUGE gap with 8-bit Google Map
- 01 April, 2012 22:31
Google kicked off its usual April Fools' Day barrage of gags early with a least a temporary option to turn Google Maps into 8-bit images remindful of those from Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games.
HA HA: 10 funny (?) April Fools' pranks - Web style
ARCHIVES: Google's 2011 April Fools' Day gags
Google jumped the gun a bit with this prank, perhaps figuring that with April 1 falling on a Sunday this year that fewer Web surfers would stumble across its pranks.
In a blog post issued Saturday, Google software engineer Tatsuo Nomura wrote:
"In our pursuit of new digital frontiers, we realized that we may have left behind a large number of users who couldn't access Google Maps on their classic hardware. Surprisingly, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was unsupported, despite its tremendous popularity with over 60 million units sold worldwide. Our engineering team in Japan understood the importance of maps on retro game systems. With the power of Google's immense data centers, and support from Nintendo and Square Enix, we were able to overcome the technical and design hurdles of developing 8-bit maps. Today, we're excited to announce the result: a version of Google Maps for NES, with beautiful low-res graphics, simple and intuitive controls, and a timeless soundtrack."
Game Boy devotees don't be distressed: Google pledges it is working on a system for you as well.
Meanwhile, for those who can't quite put their fingers on their Nintendo systems, you can just head over to Google Maps and hit the Quest box in the top right corner of the page to get a glimpse of your favorite spots in their 8-bit glory.

One local player said he'd give up the game altogether if the Royal & Ancient and U.S. Golf Association adopted a rule that took the extended putters out of the game.
At least four of the top players on the Calhoun County Golf Tour this year use a belly or long putter to negotiate the greens — perhaps none more notably than Marcus Harrell – and all have said it adds to their enjoyment and success in the game.
Harrell wielded his long putter Saturday to set a County Tour single-round scoring record with a 10-under-par 62 in the opening round of the Pine Hill Country Club Invitational. The score – one shot off the course record he shares with course pro Cory Etter — helped open a five-shot lead over Ott Chandler going into today's final round.
The old Tour single-round record was shared by Garrett Burgess (Cane Creek 2008) and Jaylon Ellison (Indian Oaks 2010). Ellison holds the 36-hole tournament record (16-under 128).
The other County Tour players who use the longer putters are Cole McNeal and Adrian Geeting — both of whom are playing in this weekend's event — and Clay Calkins, who is not.
Harrell went to the long putter to help with stability and said he would be at a loss without it.
"Of course I hope they don't get rid of it," he said. "It's definitely helped my game a lot."
Those who use the extended putters swear by them, saying they help their scores and enhance their enjoyment of the game.
The purists in the game swear at them, saying they break rules of golf and, currently unchecked, are tantamount to sanctioned cheating.
R&A chief executive director Peter Dawson told The Associated Press last week golfers could expect the governing bodies to say "something about it one way or the other in a few months, rather than years."
The use and success of the longer putters has been growing, among amateurs and recently on the PGA Tours, to a degree it might be difficult to overturn their use. Three of the last four major champions used longer putters, as did British Open runner-up Adam Scott who used his long putter to open a four-shot lead with four holes to play before giving it away to belly-putter-brandishing Ernie Els.
There were 27 long putters and 16 belly putters in the 156-man British Open field, the R&A reported.
"A lot of Tour players use it now, and that's why it's so hard to change the rule," Harrell said. "You're probably hurting at least half the field between a belly putter and that long putter."
"I just don't think it's the right thing to do," McNeal said. "It's messing with the game. It's like not telling NFL players to hit as hard as you can."
McNeal, the long-hitting left-hander from Alexandria, put the belly putter in his arsenal only last week, but already considers it the greatest thing since sliced bread. He traded a friend a high-end Scottie Cameron putter for it.
"The belly is the best thing that happened," he said. "The speed's so much better. It's so much easier to control. Especially on 10-footers and in, it's deadly."
McNeal shot 77 in Saturday's opening round, but he had only 25 putts. He had been averaging 30.56 putts per round in the five previous Calhoun County Tour series events.
"I just think it's a mental thing," he said. "You still have to read the putts, hit the ball square and on the line; it's not like it's making it for you. It's not like it's a cheating thing at all."
Geeting has been using the belly putter for two months and says it has improved his game by at least three strokes. He had 30 putts in his even-par 72 Saturday, and had been averaging 30.5 per round.
He called himself a "decent" putter with the conventional flat stick, but has become so taken with the devices, he bluntly says now if the governing bodies outlaw them "I will quit golf."
"It makes it a lot more fun when you can five-footers 10 out of 10 times," he said. "You cut those putts out – really, make them 98 percent of the time compared to 80 like I was doing before – it makes a big difference; a huge difference.
"I'll tell you, when I'm putting good, really good with it, I do feel kind of like I'm doing something cheating. When you make six or seven putts in a row and you normally don't make them, you feel like you're doing something bad, but it's legal right now so I'm going to play with it."
Harrell played a round recently with a conventional putter to see if he could return in the event of a change and played well enough to believe he could go back, but he's gotten so comfortable with the long putter – winning two Sunny King Classic and two events on the County Tour this year – he wouldn't prefer it. He has had only four three-putts in nine Tour event rounds this season.
He said if the putters rule change in 2016 – the next time changes in the Rules of Golf could be updated – he would continue using the long putter until then.
"(Talk of a change) did bother me towards the first of the year when it really started happening, and once Tiger Woods tried to get it banned the talk became a lot more serious," Harrell said, referring to Woods' suggestion that the putter be no longer than the shortest club in one's bag. "It crossed my mind that what if I do have to change? Am I still going to be able to putt? Will I have to just quit playing as good? It worries me some.
"I've gotten so used to the long putter and I've fallen in love with it. If they never change the rule, I'll never go back. The only way I'll ever go back is if I have to."

Doc: "Rondo and I, our relationship has really grown and is good."
|Posted by shawn cassidy on June 26, 2013 at 4:30 PM
Doc had said this about his old point guard. "Rondo and I, our relationship has really grown and is good." Doc was asked why he wanted a change. "There's just no answer to it. It's not like I was looking for change. It just kind of came about." Love this guys answers. Actions Doc,actions. If you weren't looking for a change how did this come about?
Doc said he and Danny Ainge thought this was the "right thing to do." Looking at it, this was best for the Celtics. Rivers was not married on the fact that he had to build a team as Rondo as the focal point, that's why it hasn't happen yet, because Doc wasn't going to do it. Doc then said he needed a challenge? " I felt like I needed a change for my voice. I felt like a needed a change from a challenge standpoint." Winning in a title without the Big Three or an older KG and Pierce wasn't a challenge? Doc said he didn't push this deal, but Danny said the opposite yesterday.
This was a small portion of what Doc said. I'll have more on it later.

Huge congratulations on your release, KM. I admire anyone who can keep all the facts straight in order to write a mystery. Hope it's a huge success.

One of the reasons I enjoy reading e-pub'd books is because the ideas are so often fresher than from the boring ol' big six. Sounds like "Steeled for Murder" fits that bill, and then some.

This looks great! I love the opportunity to bond with characters via a series and it's been a long time since I've read something gritty. Just bought it. Now lets see if I can ignore Downton Abbey long enough to read it.

Hey, no fair - my comment vanished into cyberspace! I just wanted to say congratulations on your launch and all kudos to you for planning out five novels - that's a mighty wide canvas!

GFW catwalk report: Rochester
We're liveblogging from the tents at this year's Graduate Fashion Week, apologies for the image quality here is the verdict from the catwalks. The Rochester students presented a very strong menswear collection this year, (from left to right)Minne Muztuccari kicked things off with a range of deconstructed jodphurs with sliky jersey panels and built-up ruffled jackets.
Elinor Seager used sportswear and sleepwear influences teaming tracksuit-inspired cropped trousers with coral windcheaters. Suits were given a youthful twist with piping along the pockets and seams.
Pastel colours and candy stripes continued the carefree sporty theme as Elizabeth Render sent models down the catwalks in oversized voluminous shirts and dropped crotch trousers.

Eden's Outcasts: The Story Of Louisa May Alcott And Her Fatherby John Matteson
Louisa May Alcott's name is known universally. Yet during her youth the famous Alcott was her father, Bronson -- an eminent teacher, lecturer and admired friend of Emerson and Thoreau. Willful and exuberant, Louisa flew in the face of her father's intricate theories of child rearing. She could not understand the frugal life Bronson preached and, in a family that insisted on self-denial and spiritual striving, Louisa dreamed of wealth and fame. But at the same time, like most daughters, she wanted her father's approval. This story of their tense yet loving relationship adds dimensions to Louisa's life, her work, and the relationships of fathers and daughters.

Today is the first day of the Chicago Humanities Festival and last day of Chicago Ideas Week. Not that it matters anymore when one annual celebration of creativity ends and another begins. Somewhere, every day of the year, morning, brunch and night, there seems to be an arts panel, arts seminar, book talk, onstage discussion between a moderator and artist, onstage discussion between a moderator and several artists, onstage discussion between an artist and artist, or discourse on the state of something artistic happening.
Not that I'm complaining: I am an arts panel junkie. Last week in Manhattan, I attended the New Yorker Festival (for the 12th year in a row); the night before it started, I went to a book event featuring Zadie Smith and Michael Chabon at the 92nd Street Y, which has one of the country's oldest arts-in-conversation series. I sincerely believe in the live arts discussion. It is an unsung, unappreciated form of entertainment, and though it is fall, high season for the arts panel, I hope the proliferation of the form means it is having a renaissance. There have been talks in Chicago bookstores that gripped me in ways actual artwork never could.
And yet, there is a problem, an inevitable, soul-killing moment when many arts panels turn ugly.
I can say it in six words:
"Now we have time for questions."
When I asked Mary Kate Barley-Jenkins, director of programming at the Humanities Festival, about those times when Humanities events have gone south, she paused, then said: "I am having trouble pulling up those events because I try to purge events that didn't go well from my head, to be honest with you." Then she paused again and added: "But there is this lovely gentleman out there who sings all of his questions (to panelists). He goes to a lot of our events and he sings his questions. He means no harm, but he send things off the rails."
When I was at the New Yorker Festival, at an event with shoe designer Christian Louboutin, a woman grabbed the microphone during the Q-and-A portion and asked the designer if he would ever forgo his trademark red-lacquered sole to produce a pink-lacquered sole in recognition of breast cancer awareness. The question wasn't necessarily rude or unspeakable, but it wasn't really about the designer, who seemed to recognize this and replied, bluntly, no, he would not dilute his brand. The woman then asked the question several different ways, and what had been a charming, light discussion became airless and ground to a halt.
It somewhat reminded me of the guy I occasionally see at panels in Chicago who comes to the microphone (shirt unbuttoned to the waist) and, regardless of the subject, asks a question about Israelis or Palestinians.
Of course, there are gasbag artists who derail panels long before we get to the Q-and-A, windbags who hog time, remain vague. And there's nothing necessarily wrong with the Q-and-A format: It's a town hall, a reminder of the value of immediacy in a passive-aggressive age, and arguably part of the social contract between artist and audience. On the other hand, the Q-and-A has become de rigueur, chaotic and is occasionally met with no questions at all: A fascinating, breezy talk becomes a cocktail party where someone's loud and proud flatulence leaves the rest of the room to gaze at the floor in uncomfortable silence and wait for a draft.
The moderator makes a difference.
A bad moderator — too polite to interrupt, too preoccupied to let conversation wander, too long-winded — can be worse than a panel-killing idiot. Comedian Andy Borowitz is a good moderator, smart, generous and with an invaluable quality: He is not timid about reining things in or steering conversation away from Crazy Town. Never mind that his talks with fellow funny people at the New Yorker Festival have a knack for pulling the human being out of performers who generally hide behind a bulletproof irony (Zach Galifianakis, Sarah Silverman), he has a gently chiding ability to make fun of the audience and its questions without humiliating. At the Silverman event, he told the woman asking the last question that she had the responsibility of asking a question so smart it summarized the entire talk — which is the kind of icebreaker that eases the tension.
"I always say that questions must be in the form of a question and should not be masquerading in the form of a comment or be thrown out there to demonstrate the commentator's expertise," Borowitz told me. "I don't know what it's like in Chicago, but in New York, regardless of what I say (before a Q-and-A), it's someone's time to shine. They have to talk about that commercial from '92 they saw Sarah Silverman in. It is a huge problem in New York, where narcissism is much more common on the surface."
How narcissistic.
Andy, we can be very tedious.
When I told Barley-Jenkins that characterizing Singing Question Man as lovely and harmless was appeasing an insidious, creeping contagion, she said, OK, sure, there are questions she is tired of: "There is the question that is not a question, the question not related to what the presenter is talking about, the question that comes from having read the description of the event and knowing your question in advance but not listening to the event and asking anyway, the question from the superfan, who I appreciate because they have love for the person on stage, but they just want to talk about their love and awe and just don't help."
Oh, let's not forget: The disconnected ramble/question about the artist's "process," the halfhearted request for the secret to success doing whatever the artist does, the boilerplate request for boilerplate advice, the request for an agent's name, the question about what author in history they would like to have dinner with, the long abrasive complaint that masquerades as an argument for an unrelated issue, the nervous soliloquy where the person is vaguely attempting to apply for an internship with the artist, like now.
Barley-Jenkins told me that the Humanities Festival — which starts today in Evanston, moves to Hyde Park next Sunday, then begins in earnest Nov. 1 — spends a lot of time working with moderators and stage managers and thinking about ways that arts panels can be tuned up. In fact, because of inane questions like the ones I've listed here, you will notice more index cards at the Humanities Festival this year. Instead of a line at a microphone, the festival will be encouraging audience members to write down their questions in the hope of speeding things up, discouraging the ranters and whittling down the irrelevant and redundant.
I don't know how I feel about this.
Index cards are not a new idea, and since many arts panels and book talks cost money, wanting a smooth production is understandable. Yet, at the risk of contradicting myself, any alternative to an open microphone does threaten the drama of an artist confronting an audience. Part of me enjoys the unpredictable performance art of the Q-and-A.
And let's not forget, as Donna Seaman, a Chicago critic who has moderated tons of panels at the Harold Washington Library (and often contributes to the Tribune), reminded me: A Q-and-A doesn't mean lousy questions. "Sometimes an audience is thrilling. Last year I was talking to Salman Rushdie (at Harold Washington), and this young girl stood and asked him if he could travel in time where would he go. It was silly but gutsy to ask a guy like Rushdie that, but because he's a natural storyteller, he went along with it. And truth is, I would have never thought to even ask Salman Rushdie about time travel."
Incidentally, on Tuesday I'm leading a conversation with "Sopranos" creator David Chase at the Chicago International Film Festival. I don't say this as a plug, but a plea: State your questions in the form of a question. Thank you.

The MU School of Law offers a collegial environment, reinforced by a small student body and a low faculty-student ratio. The intimacy of this setting, coupled with reasonable cost, consistently high bar passage rates, a network of alumni around the globe and access to top scholars in the legal world, make MU Law one of the best values in the nation.
Degree Programs
An outstanding faculty with award-winning teachers who rank consistently high in scholarly productivity and impact.
Students rave about the friendly staff and great study space in the MU Law Library.
Students describe Columbia as an attractive and manageable city. The cosmopolitan atmosphere, diverse mix of people, cultural offerings, and natural resources (biking trails, hiking, lakes, state and municipal parks) make Columbia a Missouri treasure.
With a population of more than 110,000, Columbia is located in central Missouri, midway between St. Louis and Kansas City, and a half hour from the capital, Jefferson City. Besides MU, Columbia boasts two private colleges: Stephens College and Columbia College. The three campuses offer a rich array of cultural, social, and intellectual opportunities.
As a university town and large medical center, Columbia is home to a widely diverse population of professionals from around the country and the world. The racial and ethnic mix gives Columbia a favor that might otherwise be unexpected in mid-Missouri.
Columbia's cost of living and ease of lifestyle are also attractive features for law students. The low cost of housing, utilities and related expenses, combined with Columbia's ease of traffic and parking and its community safety, help keep students' lives less hectic than in most metropolitan areas.
For law students, perhaps Columbia's greatest draw is its proximity to employers from both Kansas City and St. Louis, and to an array of government and judicial opportunities in nearby Jefferson City. Because of its ideal mid-Missouri location, MU brings a variety of employers on campus to interview students. Our graduates are employed throughout Missouri, in every field of law and in all employment sectors.

Meal Plans
(Effective Fall 2013)
Meal plan requirements
Meal plans at UIS are convenient and flexible declining balance accounts, accepted at all Food Service locations and campus vending machines. We don't mandate that students eat at certain times or use a certain number of meals each week. Students don't pay for missed meals or subsidize other students' plans. Our meal plans allow students to suit their own personal dining habits and needs. Sales tax is not assessed on meal plan purchases, so residential meal plans save students 8.5% on every purchase.
Meal plan purchases are logged by swiping your student i-card (University photo ID). Each time you make a purchase, the amount is deducted from your meal plan balance.
New students sign up for a plan during their summer Orientation visit or when they move in. Returning students are encouraged to choose meal plans before spring semester finals.
Meal plans are billed to student accounts, along with your tuition and fees, at the start of the fall semester.
Our meal plans
Students living in a residence hall must choose either the Signature or Platinum plan. Students living in apartments or townhouses may choose any meal plan, or none.
Gold plan ($375 per semester)
The Gold plan is exclusively for apartment or townhouse residents who want to enjoy an occasional meal at one of our campus food outlets. When appointments, study time, class, and work schedules leave little time for home cooking, this plan provides convenience!
Platinum plan ($1,150 per semester)
The Platinum plan is suitable for a student who eats on campus only nine or ten times a week or who is off campus frequently. The Platinum meal plan allows for about $10 spending per day.
Signature plan ($1,675 per semester)
Our most popular plan! The Signature plan is designed for the resident student with a demanding campus schedule. The Signature meal plan allows for about $15 per day.
Choosing a meal plan
Consider how often you will eat on campus (rather than at home or elsewhere). The following table shows the how much you can spend for each meal plan for a five-day or seven-day week.

Monitoring your meal plan balance is easy. Your account balance displays at cash registers and vending machines after each purchase. You can also check your balance online or ask a Food Service cashier.
Changing meal plans
Students may change to a higher-priced plan within the first 10 days of a semester. Students may also add value to a meal plan (with a credit or debit card) at the ID Center or online at icardwallet.uis.edu.
Please refer to the Meal Plan Terms and Conditions for definitive information about our plans.
