Sixth Day, Novel X
[005] Certaldo, as perchance you may have heard, is a town of Val d'Elsa within our country-side, which, small though it is, had in it aforetime people of rank and wealth. [006] Thither, for that there he found good pasture, 'twas long the wont of one of the Friars of St. Antony to resort once every year, to collect the alms that fools gave them. Fra Cipolla--so hight the friar--met with a hearty welcome, no less, perchance, by reason of his name than for other cause, the onions produced in that district being famous throughout Tuscany. [007] He was little of person, red-haired, jolly-visaged, and the very best of good fellows; and therewithal, though learning he had none, he was so excellent and ready a speaker that whoso knew him not would not only have esteemed him a great rhetorician, but would have pronounced him Tully himself or, perchance, Quintilian; and in all the country-side there was scarce a soul to whom he was not either gossip or friend or lover. [008] Being thus wont from time to time to visit Certaldo, the friar came there once upon a time in the month of August, and on a Sunday morning, all the good folk of the neighbouring farms being come to mass in the parish church, he took occasion to come forward and say: [009] "Ladies and gentlemen, you wot 'tis your custom to send year by year to the poor of Baron Master St. Antony somewhat of your wheat and oats, more or less, according to the ability and the devoutness of each, that blessed St. Antony may save your oxen and asses and pigs and sheep from harm; [010] and you are also accustomed, and especially those whose names are on the books of our confraternity, to pay your trifling annual dues. To collect which offerings, I am hither sent by my superior, to wit, Master Abbot; wherefore, with the blessing of God, after none, when you hear the bells ring, you will come out of the church to the place where in the usual way I shall deliver you my sermon, and you will kiss the cross; [011] and therewithal, knowing, as I do, that you are one and all most devoted to Baron Master St. Antony, I will by way of especial grace shew you a most holy and goodly relic, which I brought myself from the Holy Land overseas, which is none other than one of the feathers of the Angel Gabriel, which he left behind him in the room of the Virgin Mary, when he came to make her the annunciation in Nazareth." [012] And having said thus much, he ceased, and went on with the mass. [013] Now among the many that were in the church, while Fra Cipolla made this speech, were two very wily young wags, the one Giovanni del Bragoniera by name, the other Biagio Pizzini; who, albeit they were on the best of terms with Fra Cipolla and much in his company, had a sly laugh together over the relic, and resolved to make game of him and his feather. [014] So, having learned that Fra Cipolla was to breakfast that morning in the town with one of his friends, as soon as they knew that he was at table, down they hied them into the street, and to the inn where the friar lodged, having complotted that Biagio should keep the friar's servant in play, while Giovanni made search among the friar's goods and chattels for this feather, whatever it might be, to carry it off, that they might see how the friar would afterwards explain the matter to the people. [015]Now Fra Cipolla had for servant one Guccio, whom some called by way of addition Balena, others Imbratta, others again Porco, and who was such a rascallion that sure it is that Lippo Topo himself never painted his like. [016] Concerning whom Fra Cipolla would ofttimes make merry with his familiars, saying: "My servant has nine qualities, any one of which in Solomon, Aristotle, or Seneca, would have been enough to spoil all their virtue, wisdom and holiness. Consider, then, what sort of a man he must be that has these nine qualities, and yet never a spark of either virtue or wisdom or holiness." [017] And being asked upon divers occasions what these nine qualities might be, he strung them together in rhyme, and answered: "I will tell you. Lazy and uncleanly and a liar he is, Negligent, disobedient and foulmouthed, iwis, And reckless and witless and mannerless: and therewithal he has some other petty vices, which 'twere best to pass over. [018] And the most amusing thing about him is, that, wherever he goes, he is for taking a wife and renting a house, and on the strength of a big, black, greasy beard he deems himself so very handsome a fellow and seductive, that he takes all the women that see him to be in love with him, and, if he were left alone, he would slip his girdle and run after them all. [019] True it is that he is of great use to me, for that, be any minded to speak with me never so secretly, he must still have his share of the audience; and, if perchance aught is demanded of me, such is his fear lest I should be at a loss what answer to make, that he presently replies, ay or no, as he deems meet."

3/25/14 - Updated Mock with 5th round comp pick

The Cowboys defense is semi-legit from what I can tell. I feel comfortable saying that the defensive backs are the strength of our defense (including LBers). However, our D-line is mediocre at best. There are flashes of great d line play, but it's rather inconsistent and they get pushed around a lot. Only Jason Hatcher should be considered 'good' on the D line right now.
IMO, The defense is about a draft/FA period away from being a top defense in the league.
uh, no they're not over the cap
Football has been very, very good to us.
In the midst of this losing season, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Denver, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, New England
4-New York Giants!!!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Nope. Your team is the only team that ever had cap issues in the NFCE this year, which is ironic since your team benefitted three fold from the cap sanctions imposed on both the Cowboys and Skins.
The Cowboys are about 7 million under the cap as of now, even after taking the hit from the sanctions if I'm not mistaken.
But to answer your question, there are players that most likely won't be resigned next year that will also free up more cap space (Coleman, Jenkins, and maybe even Spencer) and dead money from this year that won't be there next year.

Apple stayed true to their word when they promised and sold us on their moving crews and integrity. My parents used them for a move from Oklahoma to Georgia and raved about them and their office staff and how they handled all of their concerns prior to the move. We were very specific with what we needed and what we expected as far as pickup and delivery and they surpassed everything as promised. We have never written or posted reviews on ANYTHING, however, this was a special case and we felt the need for others to know and hear how great a company Apple Movers is. We also wanted to thank Randy at Apple Movers for all his help in making our move easy
My boyfriend and I were moving from Edmond and Penn & Memorial, respectively, into what may be the cutest pink house in the Castro. The only issue was: it was a third floor walk-up, so we called Apple Moving Company.
I initially spoke with Randy on the phone, who gave me an estimate over the phone and confirmation via email. We booked the movers around 10 days in advance, and had to opt for a Monday move-in vs. our original plan of Saturday, which is understandable based on the short lead-time. Randy quoted us 5to 7 hours with 3 movers, which was $96/hour-- which was to move two separate apartments into one. (Also, their minimum. Additional time is counted in 30 min. increments.)
On moving day, our three-man crew consisted of Russell (who handled all the paperwork and was the "main driver"), George and Anthony. Our starting window was from 8-10am, and after phoning me a little bit before 8am, they arrived at the first apartment at 8:30am. They took 2 hour to pack up my boyfriend's apartment and arrived at my place by 10:50am, and then the new apartment around 12:30.
What the guys will do: disassemble bed frames (and any bulky items, such as our dinging table.) and will wrap/tape them up in blankets for protection, as well as re-assemble at your new apartment, provide mattress covers (for $7/each), provide wardrobe boxes for all of your clothes on hangers, and also provide any extra boxes for things you may have forgotten to pack. Note, they will make you empty the drawers on your desk and night stands and a few other item into boxes (I never did with previous moves) so that is where you may incur box charges.
I will say that these guys work pretty quickly, and I did NOT envy them as they hauled these heavy boxes up three flights of stairs in our new apartment. Towards the end, it was mostly two guys doing the moving, while one re-assembled furniture. I had to unpack the wardrobe boxes (no problem)
At the end of the move-in, not a thing was scratched, our furniture was assembled and we both had the energy to unpack for the remainder of the day. HOWEVER, in total, this whole thing took 6 hours. SIX HOURS. While I do not doubt the work of the three men, I was a bit disappointed that the quote was off a little from the original conversations I had with Randy. It was a very hot day to the men's credit. In the end, we paid $800+tip to the hard-working crew.
I hope I don't have to move anytime soon, but, for those who are looking for movers, I'd say give Apple a call as they will handle your move very well.
Apple Movers has the right kind of business model - where the crew that moves you has their own business reputation to protect as much as the branded company themselves do. From the initial reservation to the actual move itself, there is nothing I might add as an improvement suggestion over what was provided me during my move. They exceeded expectations, were right on time, were well prepared and prioritized what to move in the proper sequence - treated me as though I was their only customer. I really got my monies' worth and will continue to recommend and use them for any moves in the future. THANK YOU!!
Great service! I had to move between Norman to Yukon. I was extremely impressed because I procrastinate, I had 3/4 of my items packed by the time they showed up. However, they were able to help me load my items WAY fast, and had everything done in less time than I had expected if I had already had all of my stuff packed. AMAZING. And super cost efficient and friendly, I would recommend to anyone.

I used these guys APPLE MOVERS to move me from one apartment to another about a week ago. This should have been fairly straight forward move from one 1 BR to another 1 BR so I chose the option to pay hourly. The movers that were supposed to follow me to the location did not show up for an hour after I got there. Turns out they went to get something to eat and did not bother to tell me....and they tried to charge me for the time at the end. Even after I got that time removed from the bill the final amount was more than 40% higher than the estimate I was given. On top of all that. My kitchen table got scratched up and a dresser drawer was broken. I will never use these guys again.
Apple Movers is simply a great moving company. I got their number from a friend and called. The staff was very attentive and responsive too. They offered me a very reasonable deal. I booked them for the move and keeping my fingers crossed. When they came on time and began the work, I knew that they were going to rock. They did ! Took no time to complete the entire move and managed to provide me everything that I asked for. I was actually amazed to receive such a great service.
Great Company !!!
Great company overall for your moving needs. I have moved across the U.S. and through 5 different cities over the last 15 years. Apple Movers has been the best moving experience so far.
They were quick to get things rolling, had a courteous staff for both the meeting and the move. They packed everything with care, disassembled and reassembled everything well. Were on time and stayed on time throughout the day.
The prices are very reasonable considering all they do.
I highly recommend Apple Movers !
Simply the Best We recently made an out of state move and used Apple Movers. They came when they said they would, the men were friendly and professional, they loaded the truck and delivered our furniture when they said they would, totally free of any mishaps. The furniture was delivered on the morning they said it would be delivered and we paid the price agreed upon from the beginning, no surprises whatsoever. We had made several moves prior to this one, and were never satisfied. Something always went wrong. This was simply the best move we ever made. Thank you Apple Movers for our stress free move. We highly recommend them.
ASWOME – These guys are so awesome! First of all, the price was a lot cheaper than competitors. They originally were supposed to have two trucks to move all of our belongings in one day, but they did it with one truck and so quickly! The other companies I called said they would take two days to move everything. We also had to take our stuff to two different locations(one to rental and one to storage). They took every single item to the right locations with no problems. All of the movers were so polite and helpful. I also have a baby grand piano that they moved for us. Most companies won't move a piano, but these guys saved me a few hundred by taking the piano with the rest of our belongings. We are in a rental until our new home is finished being built and we are definitely planning on using them again!!

Chávez's inauguration in Venezuela postponed. Is that legal? (+video)
Venezuela has been thrown into uncertainty over who should become president tomorrow, what the Constitution dictates, and what is against the law.
Mexico City
Hugo Chávez won a fourth term as president of Venezuela in October, and tomorrow, Jan. 10, was his scheduled inauguration. But the leader, who has been in office since 1999, is unable to appear before the nation to assume office. He has been in Cuba since his December cancer surgery there, and is facing a recovery deemed "complicated" by his government. Venezuela has been thrown into uncertainty as government allies and opposition figures face off over who should become president on Thursday, what the Constitution dictates, and what is against the law.Skip to next paragraph
In Pictures Venezuela after Chavez
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Is it unconstitutional for the inauguration to be delayed?
Allies of President Chávez say the inauguration can legally be delayed, arguing that the swearing-in is only a "formality." They argue that Chávez maintains his post as president and will be sworn in later, in front of the nation's supreme court, when he is physically ready. The opposition earlier sent a letter to the Organization of American States (OAS) saying that his absence would be "a serious constitutional violation" and that the supreme court should weigh in. The Roman Catholic Church also accused the government of bringing instability to the country. Critics say that, under the provisions of the Constitution, the president of the national assembly should take office temporarily if Chávez does not appear Thursday. Simply maintaining "continuity" of the current administration is illegal, they say.
"There is one strict date that cannot be modified," says Luis Salamanca, a professor of constitutional law at the Central University of Venezuela in Caracas. "A new period is ending, and another one is beginning." Mr. Salamanca says the swearing-in is more than just a formality.
It is the moment of the inauguration that "Chavez would be granted the legal authority to be president," he says.
What exactly does the Constitution say?
There are three relevant articles of the Constitution that apply to this case. Article 231, translated by the BBC in English here, reads:
The president-elect shall take office on 10 January of the first year of their constitutional term, by taking an oath before the National Assembly. If for any reason, (they) cannot be sworn in before the National Assembly, they shall take the oath of office before the Supreme Court.

Thanks. Am I doing this right?
Hi Kurt.
Regarding the Reason Rally, our flight doesn't get us into DC until later on Friday, just before 6pm. We're staying at L'Enfant. We're in D.C. for several days to visit a close high school friend and sightsee with the kids.
Let me know when you're meeting at the Jefferson Memorial, and I will do my best. If you are meeting before my flight, let me know if there are other times that work for us to get together. I have not finalized plans with my friend or confirmed tours yet.
Hope to see you there! I've been really looking forward to this for a long time. Even the kids are excited now. It went from "speeches from some people dad likes" to "Tim Minchin & Myth Busters!!!"
My trip to Ireland was very eye-opening. Being there and learning about ancient pagans and rituals, touching old relics and hearing stories, it was so fascinating to see firsthand these past cultures and human history that shaped much of modern-day religion. I was more ignorant on the topic of the Catholic vs Protestant feud than I had realized, and it is certainly disturbing to me to think that such deep-seeded hatred exists on such a superficial level. I will go back through my journal and post some highlights on my trip.
I've been thinking, we don't need official approval. If we wanted to link informally, so our members could easily hop back and forth to look at discussions (even without posting) and have discussion spin offs on the home group, we could do that ourselves. Imagine we asked members to vote, and both groups approved. We could just each create pinned discussions with links to the other group, and have the spin-off talk there. Hey, just throwing out ideas, Kurt.

Braised Brisket of Beef
beef mami
For years I used to dream of recreating this beef dish. This is the one we put as a topping on our Beef Mami (Beef Noodle Soup). It can be served as well on a bed of noodles without soup. It is also known as Beef Flank in Chinese restaurants. While living in Hong Kong, we would often speculate on the ingredients used whenever we have one from a restaurant or a hawker. It remained a dream until I stared long enough on one of the sections of the Chopsticks Recipes series cookbook (titled Quick Meals authored by Cecilia Au-Yeung). Suddenly I realised it was the one I've been searching for! I test cooked it and indeed it was the one! Eureka!
A tip on the recipe, try to buy bean paste/sauce where all the beans are pureed well. The one available to me has lots of whole beans in it and it's hard to mash before cooking since the beans are still quite firm. It's hard to do it after/during cooking as well because the pesky little beans are hard to catch and really so much trouble. So get the bean paste that's well mashed up.
Try to keep the ginger in one or several big lumps so it's easier to fish them out of the sauce for serving. I'm actually tempted to put all the spices in a tied up muslin bag to save me from straining the sauce. Maybe I'll do just that one of these days.
Braised Brisket of Beef
500 gm brisket of beef
2 pcs star anise
56 gm sliced ginger - mashed
1 sq. in. dried tangerine (or orange) peel [optional]
2 Tbsp cooking oil
5 cups boiling water (approximate)
1 tsp garlic - minced
2 tsp rice wine or dry sherry
1/4 cup ground bean paste/sauce
1 Tbsp rice wine or dry sherry
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
a pinch of pepper
*Gravy Mix:
1 tsp cornflour
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp sesame oil
1. Soak tangerine peel in warm water until soft.
2. Wash and place brisket in a pressure cooker. Pour enough water to cover the brisket. Cover and pressure cook for 15 minutes.
3. Remove and cut into chunks.
4. Heat a wok to bring the oil to boil and sauté the minced garlic, ginger, and ground bean paste until aromatic.
5. Put the brisket in the wok to stir fry for 2 minutes. Sprinkle wine.
6. Add the brisket sauce (beef stock where the beef was cooked), star anises, and tangerine peel. Bring to boil.
7. Transfer to the pressure cooker to simmer for 15 minutes.
8. Cook until meat is tender.
9. Remove the lid and stir in the seasoning to cook for a further 5 minutes.
10. Thicken the sauce with the gravy mix.
* I don't usually pre-boil the beef. So I skip procedure nos. 2, 3, & 7 and soften the meat by simmering for a long time or through a crockpot/slow cooker.
*We mainly use the above recipe for beef mami. Just cook some egg noodles and put some chicken broth/stock, add the beef brisket and its sauce, then sprinkle some chopped green onions on top.

Oregon has trouble with teams that match their speed and the SEC is loaded with speed particularly with LSU and on turf. On the other hand, LSU has to be prepared for the speed of the game that just cant be simulated in practice.
Oregon wears teams out with speed and rhythm and takes over games in the second half as the d-line gets warn down and tired.
I think I will watch the game and maybe wager 2nd half.
Any thoughts........?

The Limited has been a fixture on the USA Mall scene for over 40 years. Bursting with classic American styles, it is hardly surprising that New York Magazine recently featured some looks from The Limited in a fashion feature. The brand describes itself as the balance between 'Where good design meets Refined Indiviualism'.
At BundleBox we love to discover new fashion finds unique to the USA and dripping with style credentials. The Limited is no exception. In fact, the website is super stylised and effortlessly cool. Check out some of our favourite looks below for dreamy summer days.
This chic take on Safari Style is revved up for the city. We love the dazzling smock tube top that will work with shorts, jeans and even skirts. The shorts are a classic summer staple and super comfortable to boot.
Who can resist a dress that is both pretty and fabulous. This gorgeous Flower Applique dress seems to channel Carrie Bradshaw and a fairy tale princess in one! We will be teaming this little beauty with killer heels and a light floral shawl in the evening.
The Bow Shoulder Romper ($79) is definitely in our basket for summer style. We love the relaxed tailored look that can be smart enough for the office under a cardigan or blazer. Dress up for evening frolicks with heels and an armful of shiny trinkety bracelets.
Happy Bundling!

Moving from SVN to TFS has been an interesting experience. The integration of source control directly into Visual Studio seems like a good thing, but even on a well set up network it can occasionally bring Visual Studio to its knees. And I still don't trust its automerge.
Anyway, if you find that the TFS diff and merge tools are just too ugly and odd to work with, there's a great page on the MSDN blogs that describes how to set Visual Studio to use your preferred tool:

Negative Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Rock Hill School District 3 in June 2013.
Interview Details I interviewed for a position but it quickly became clearly evident that it did not matter what my qualifications were or what experience I had because they had already made a hiring decision before I was interviewed or even contacted to schedule the interview for that matter. While the people I interacted with were pleasant enough, I saw right through the inconsistencies. What a waste of time.

Mike Smith: 'We want to be out there, we want to be playing the game'
The NHL's second work stoppage in seven years has now reached the two-and-a-half month mark and has already claimed over 422 combined games, the 2013 Winter Classic and the 2013 All-Star Game in Columbus.
While Coyotes players like Mike Smith are trying to stay in game shape despite the extended lockout, as the 30-year-old netminder explained to ESPN Insider Craig Custance this week, at some point enough is enough.
"I guess you could say [a missed season] doesn't hurt me that much, but it's not much fun going to the rink and playing shinny hockey every day," Smith said. "You're working toward the ultimate goal -- winning the Stanley Cup. You don't do that sitting out years. As players, that's what we want to do. We want to be out there. We want to be playing the game."
Smith, who is coming off a career year with Phoenix (38 wins, 2.21 goals-against average and a .944 save percentage in the postseason), might be one of the more invested Coyotes in the on-going lockout negotiations, as his contract with the team is set to expire at the end of the 2012-2013 season.
Under the new framework of the owners' proposed collective bargaining agreement, players would not be offered guaranteed contracts past a five-year limit, essentially putting an end to the type of deal (nine-year contract worth $51 million dollars) the Philadelphia Flyers offered former Phoenix goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov last offseason.
"The contractual stuff is something that as players we're not going to mess around with," Smith said. "That's our livelihood. That's a big part about being a professional athlete. You have those rights. When you take all that away, it kind of makes us more like puppets than anything."
One of the other big talking points between the owners and the NHL Players Association has centered around the sustainability of low-revenue markets like Nashville, Columbus and Phoenix.
Based on the latest development in Glendale, however, Smith is convinced that not only is the Valley a sustainable market, but one where the game could thrive for years to come.
"I really do believe there is a market here. We had a great run last year with the team; the fan support behind it was tremendous. I do believe it can be a spot that thrives," said Coyotes goalie Mike Smith during a Wednesday evening phone conversation. "Sometimes it gets misconceived and sometimes it's misleading that there isn't hockey fans in these areas. I can tell you firsthand there is. The playoff run was outstanding. It brought out the best in our fans."
For now, the closest fans in the Valley might get to witnessing Smith in goal this season is at the Ice Den in Scottsdale. The Coyotes goaltender, along with an estimated 40 to 50 other NHL players, have been training at Phoenix's practice facility this week.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 20, 2013 – Senior Lauren Wilson (Coatesville, Pa./Downingtown) broke a scoreless tie with two goals in a span of two minutes in the second half, leading James Madison to a 3-0 win over visiting College of Charleston in a CAA women's soccer game Sunday.
Freshman Sydney Braun-McLeod (Ottawa, Ontario/Glebe Collegiate Institute) tacked on a late goal to complete the scoring for the Dukes, who improved to 13-4 overall and 5-1 in the conference. They have won 10 of their last 11 games, including a current five-game winning streak, and moved into a three-way tie for first place in the CAA standings.
Wilson's first goal of the game came in the 63rd minute. She received a long pass from fellow senior Becky Sparks (Laurel Springs, N.J. Paul VI), setting up a one-on-one breakaway attempt. Wilson capitalized with her fourth goal of the season.
Wilson added her fifth goal of the year just two minutes later, scoring on an assist from junior Sam Lofton (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain). The goal was the 29th of Wilson's career, moving her into a three-way tie for seventh all-time at JMU. She is one goal away from tying Julie Reule (1991-94) and Aimee Grahe (1996-99) for fifth on the list.
Sparks also made a jump in the program's record book with her assist on Wilson's first goal. Her 16 career assists tie her with Annie Lowry (2004-07), Christy Metzker (2000-04) and Lauren Stritzl (1995-98) for 14th all-time.
Braun-McLeod's goal was unassisted and came in the 89th minute. She has four goals in her first season with the Dukes.
Sophomore goalie Ellen Forrest made one save to post her fifth shutout of the season. Cougars' goalie Lauren Killian made 10 saves.
JMU celebrated Senior Day on Sunday, honoring Wilson, Sparks, Haley Miller (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) and Olivia Tomoff prior to the game.
With two games left on the schedule, JMU is two wins shy of tying the program record for wins during the regular season. The Dukes finish with two road games, as they will travel to play Northeastern on Friday and Hofstra on Sunday.

How can Catwoman kick ass in stilettos? A panel of experts weighs in
Every costume we wear makes a statement about ourselves. There's no escape from that fact; as fashion illustrator Maurice Vellekoop put it, "even a plain t-shirt and jeans says, 'I'm not that interested in this "fashion" thing.'"
Vellekoop was participating in a Toronto Comic Arts Festival panel called "Fashion!" I attended earlier this spring. Moderated by Krystle Tabujara, the panel featured speakers with a variety of perspectives on drawn style, from historical cartoons to superhero comics, and couture illustration to fashion journalism. They sought to answer the age-old question that has plagued man since the dawn of time (or at least since Superman first came down from Krypton): when it comes to comics, do clothes matter?
In comics, clothes inform character. They can do the obvious, like helping the reader tell characters apart on the page, but they also enhance the plausibility of the character. Cartoonist Ramon Perez argues that costume design for science fiction and fantasy is all about functionality. Every piece of an outfit needs to have a reason to be there. When he started drawing Wolverine, he got rid of some weird stripes on the character's upper arms ("what were they, tricep armour?") and pared down his uniform.
A similar commonsense approach would definitely benefit many of the female characters in superhero comics. Fashion journalist Nathalie Atkinson waxed nostalgic about a glorious period in Catwoman's story arc where a new artist put her in lug tread boots she "could actually kick ass in," instead of the impractical stiletto heels she had previously worn, and—at the pen of a new artist—has returned to.
An upside to the pervasiveness of hyper-sexualized outfits assigned to female superheroes is that they make room in the world for some fantastic parody. One of my favourite Canadian comic artists, Haligonian Kate Beaton, has produced some wonderful work on this topic. The Adventures of Sexy Batman is a great place to start. Beaton has also come up with female superhero trio Strong Female Characters in collaboration with two other illustrators, Carly Monardo and Meredith Gran.
Another great example of parody is the satirical Tumblr The Hawkeye Initiative, which gives readers a chance to turn the gender stereotype upside down by submitting their own illustrations. The site compiles feminist fan-art in which male Avengers character Hawkeye is drawn in the same ridiculous outfits and poses female comic book characters are usually depicted in. In doing so, The Hawkeye Initiative offers a clear window into the sheer volume of outlandish streetwear that exists for women in the superhero comic universe.
If the female superheroes on these pages are really able to perform feats of acrobatics wearing stilettos, then they deserve our admiration. The agility and hamstring strength required alone would top that of any male character. As cartoonist Bob Thaves wrote in a 1982 strip, "Sure [Fred Astaire] was great, but don't forget that Ginger Rogers did everything he did, backwards… and in high heels." So, theoretically these superwomen might be able to parkour across rooftops wearing hot-shorts. But why should they have to? Wouldn't they be more effective crimefighters (or supervillains!) wearing something a little more practical? The new outfits wouldn't even have to be unattractive: a middle ground does exist between "leather bikini" and "burlap sack". Plus, the image of a strong lady kicking ass and taking names is always going to be attractive in and of itself, regardless of what she's wearing.
The Fashion in Comics panel at TCAF 2013 was moderated by Krystle Tabujara and featured Nathalie Atkinson (fashion journalist, The National Post), Willow Dawson (No Girls Allowed), Kagan McLeod (fashion illustrator, Infinite Kung Fu) Bryan Lee O'Malley (Scott Pilgrim), Ramon Perez (Wolverine & The X-Men), and Maurice Vellekoop (fashion illustrator). You can watch a taped version of the thought-provoking discussion on YouTube here.

With a bright flash of light, suddenly a large crowd of characters appeared, all milling around, eyes wide in confusion as they surveyed their surroundings. The setting appeared to be some sort of bizarre cross between the game board of Candy Land and Monica's apartment from FRIENDS. The characters were diverse, some human, some not, some real, some not - but all had one feature in common: Confusion. What was going on?
Many shrugged and parted ways, embracing this strange new world - but ten remained, all eying each other wish suspicion. Who had brought them here? And why...?
The Host quietly slipped away, not wanting to be around when the accusations began to fly.
What happened next was all a blur, but suddenly everyone was accusing everyone! There was only one clear (totally reasonable) consensus: Someone would have to die.
It is now Day 1.
The Phase will last 48 hours, ending at 11:59 PM U.S. CST on 11/18/2012, or when we reach Twilight, whichever comes first. It takes six votes to Hammer this Phase.
Note: Some of you may have noticed that there were no images in your Role PMs - my apologies, I was in a massive hurry when I sent them out. There will be images for all the characters when they flip in-game.

The United States could hit Syria with three days of missile strikes, perhaps beginning Thursday, in an attack meant more to send a message to the Syrian regime than to cripple its military, senior U.S. officials told NBC News.
The options are not about regime change, the White House said.
The disclosure added to a growing drumbeat around the world for military action against Syria, believed to have used chemical weapons in recent days against scores of civilians and rebels who have been fighting the government for two years.
In three days of strikes, the Pentagon could assess the effectiveness of the first wave and target what was missed in further rounds, the senior officials said.
British Prime Minister David Cameron cautioned that no decision on military strikes had been made. The White House said President Barack Obama has a variety of options, not just an attack, Reuters reported.
But some analysts said Washington had few options other than force in order to preserve its credibility in light of statements by Obama drawing a line against Syrian use of chemical weapons in its civil war and more recently by Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday.
"Once you make those kinds of comments ... you risk losing your credibility if you don't then follow through on them," Jacob Shapiro, Middle East analyst for Stratfor, told CNBC's "Street Signs."
"I'm not going to tell you that it's an absolute sure thing, but I think there's a very high probability that there will be some kind of punitive, limited strike in Syria in the next few days."
News of a possible attack sent U.S. stock prices skidding—the Dow fell to a two-month low—while oil prices surged to a six-month high and Treasury prices rose. European stocks also suffered their biggest drop in two months.
Gold hit its highest level since May 15 and silver reached its highest level since April 26.

The U.S. officials' comments about the possible timing for military action came a day after another round of telephone diplomacy by Obama, who held discussions with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and French President Francois Hollande.
Hollande said Tuesday that France stood ready "to punish" the perpetrators of the attack and would increase its military support to the Syrian opposition.
Cameron recalled Parliament from vacation on Tuesday and said lawmakers would vote Thursday on a proposal for action.
Also Tuesday, Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said a "decisive and serious" international stand was required against Damascus. The Arab League blamed the Syrian government for the deadly attack and said that those responsible should face international justice. It called on U.N. Security Council members to overcome their differences and take action to end the killing there.
Support from the Arab League, even if limited, would provide crucial diplomatic cover for a Western strike on Syria. Action through the United Nations is unlikely because Russia, which supports Syrian President Bashar Assad, has a veto in the Security Council.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, meanwhile, told the BBC the U.S. military is "ready to go" if Obama orders action.
We have moved assets in place to be able to fulfill and comply with whatever option the president wishes to take," Hagel said during a trip to Brunei, according to a partial transcript provided by the BBC. Asked if the U.S. military was ready to respond just "like that," Hagel said: "We are ready to go, like that."
Hagel's comments came a day after Kerry laid the groundwork for possible military action, saying there needed to be "accountability" for the use of chemical weapons.
Hagel said the United States would have intelligence to present "very shortly" about the attack. But he noted after calls with his British and French counterparts that there was little doubt among most U.S. allies that "the most base ... international humanitarian standard was violated."
Assad called the claims that Syria used chemical weapons "preposterous."
The Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said it would be a "very grave violation of international law," and China said through its government-run news service that the U.S. must refrain from "hasty armed intervention."
Facing Russian and Chinese disapproval that could dampen prospects for proposed peace talks in Geneva, Assad's foes have vowed to punish a poison gas attack in some rebel-held districts of Damascus on Aug. 21 that killed hundreds.
U.N. experts trying to establish what exactly happened in the attack were finally able to cross the front line on Monday to see survivors—despite being shot at in government-held territory. But they put off a second visit until Wednesday.
In markets on Tuesday, Brent crude climbed to a six-month high above $114, and U.S. crude settled at $109.01. It was the first time it settled above $109 since Feb. 24, 2012. Though Syria is not a major oil producer, Western intervention there could lead to a wider conflict in the volatile Middle East, which pumps a third of the world's oil.
"This is a huge deal, particularly for the oil markets," Helima Croft, commodities research head at Barclays, said on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."
—Dubai's stock market tumbled 7.0 percent on Tuesday, its heaviest one-day loss since the emirate's corporate debt crisis in November 2009.
—Israel's shekel fell to a six-week low against the dollar and share prices dropped 2 percent.
—The Indian rupee and Turkish lira tumbled to record lows.

Special Touch
By Daugther and Friend
from Riverview, FL
I have bought two of these sashes for different occasions and they have made both of the Guest of Honors feel special. The quality is very good and can be used as a keepsake. My Mom wore her Sash and a Happy Birthday Crown for her 90th Birthday dinner party, as she walked thru the restaurant everyone gave her a ovation and wished her Happy Birthday. She loved it!!!
Fun but impractical
By Jennifer
from Gurnee, IL
This was fun when we first presented it to my mother-in-law at her 90th birthday party, but after awhile it became a problem. She is petite and when she sat in a chair the sash fell off her shoulders frequently. It would fall over the back of the chair and look as if she were tied to the chair. I would definitely use it at the start of the party but take it off one the party is underway.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The opaque purple-hued 2006- only 40% of the crop made it into the final blend- exhibits a personality that mimics the superb 1996.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Between 900 and 1,000 cases are normally made of the luxury cuvee, the Hermitage Les Bessards.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The blend for the 2009 Pichon Lalande is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, somewhat unusual at this estate which usually has more Merlot in the blend. As stated previously, the Cabernet Sauvignon reached levels of ripeness and intensity of flavor in 2009 never seen before in Bordeaux! The final..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Initially the wine is all firm tannins, but then there is a pure line of fresh black fruits that comes through, with cranberry tannins and blackberry jamminess. Above it all, is succulent richness and clear acidity. A beautifully shaped wine."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Seven years ago I said this was a monumental wine, and at two different recent tastings, it was a true star of the vintage. Its stunning dark plum color offers up notes of caramelized red and black fruits, toffee, smoke, Asian plum sauce, sweet cherries, chocolate, and espresso. Its spectacular..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This tiny, 5-acre vineyard with nearly 50-year old vines produces only 4,000 bottles from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

Puerta San Jose News
Trip to Nicaragua
In October 2012, members of the Puerta San Jose Team traveled to Nicaragua for one week. Fabio Coelho, Jan Hagemann, and Professor Rosemary Henze visited Nicaragua and worked directly with Sistema de Aprendizaje Tutorial (SAT) high school teachers on their English Program.
They conducted an intense three-day workshop with a group of SAT and oratorio English teachers. The focus of this workshop was to introduce the teachers to inquiry-based learning and to practice an approach to teaching English that will strengthen the teachers' confidence and the students' motivation to learn.
You can read more about their visit in their article for the Fabretto Newsletter.
LLD 298: Collaborative EFL Program Development
In fall 2011, Fabio Coelho, Katie Masters, and Professor Rosemary Henze led an independent study group for the graduate-level LLD 298 course. Six students took the independent study course while two other students volunteered to participate in the project. The students developed eight supplements to the existing Sistema de Aprendizaje Tutorial (SAT) English curriculum that is being used in Fabretto high schools. Fabretto teachers and staff members are now field testing these supplements.
The following list outlines the goals of this project: (1) to create/enhance capacity of rural Nicaraguan students and teachers to have access to culturally responsive, relevant, non-colonizing English learning opportunities; (2) to prepare materials for teachers and students that can be used either as supplementary activities for the Sistema de AprendizajeTutorial (SAT) books, or as self-access, stand alone EFL materials; and (3) to provide a practical learning opportunity as an elective for MA TESOL students to apply their knowledge and skills in course design, curriculum development, intercultural communication, and teacher development.
The LLD 298 group is pictured below with Rosendo, a visitor from Nicaragua.
Cinequest Event
In March 2011, the Puerta San José Team from the Writing Center coordinated activities publicizing the film Dreaming Nicaragua which was featured at the San José Cinequest film festival. This film focuses on the work of Fabretto Children's Foundation, an organization with whom the Puerta San José team collaborated on development of an English as a Second Language curriculum. Dreaming Nicaragua is a powerful and moving testament to the resilience of young children as they face the consequences of dire poverty. The film exposes not only the extreme poverty experienced by many children, but also the hopes and dreams art can inspire in them. The Puerta San José team organized a panel discussion of Fabretto's accomplishments and challenges in Nicaragua following the March 5 screening of the film. The panel included Fabretto President Kevin Marinacci and U.S. Congressman Mike Honda. The leadership of Fabretto Children's Foundation was delighted with the turnout at all the Dreaming Nicaragua screenings in San José which garnered the largest attendance of all their U.S. screenings of the film to date.
The Spartan Daily published an article about this event, "Panel, Short Film Addresses Nicaragua's Poverty Issues."

Sanford makes Blago look like a genius.
I'm sure we'll be seeing pictures of the Girl From Argentina soon. She must be like Sunshine from the movie "Harlem Nights".
Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, David Vitter and John Ensign would beg to differ. Furthermore, Mark Foley and Larry Craig have insured that Barney Frank doesn't have a monopoly on that other type of action.
But at least those were domestic affairs. This, like other American jobs has moved overseas. Sigh.

I didn't think we needed a whole thread for an article about the Olympic Village and what the rooms are like, but I didn't see a good thread to post the article in.
So I hope there is some other non-competition Olympic stuff that was looking for a home.
Anyway, the rooms sound a lot like most Olympic Villages, functional but kind of spartan.

With the help of a few of my photography friends I'm am starting a
photo magazine in Louisville called "THIS...is Louisville." It's a
documentary style magazine covering all the interesting people,
places, and stories in Louisville. We believe in the idea that
everyone has a story to tell...and we want to be their voice.
We will be featuring people from all walks of life in documentary
style photography and producing a 36+ page black and white magazine of
the images. The magazine will be free and distributed all around the
city. This is where I need your help!
I have started a Kickstarter to help get the project rolling. We are
asking for $3,500.00 to cover the costs of printing the 3000 issues.
The way Kickstarter works is that unless the full $3,500.00 is funded
by Nov. 28th at noon then NONE of the money goes to the project.
There are some pretty amazing prizes to contributors and any donation
you make to the magazine will be greatly appreciated. Please tell
your friends and feel free to post it on Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you so much!

See the capital-spending scorecard
It's no secret that the economy's anemic recovery from the recent recession reflects weak spending on the part of corporations. While the Federal Reserve Board has kept interest rates low to keep borrowing costs down, the confidence of consumers — whose spending represents some two-thirds of gross domestic product — has been dampened by weak job growth. And the lackluster trend in employment reflects companies' reluctance to open their wallets.
Instead of making new investments, most companies seem content to allow cash to pile up on their balance sheets (see "Too Much Cash," August).
When will capital spending pick up again? Some observers say it will be sooner rather than later. After all, the Fed reported a rebound in corporate spending for the second quarter, ending June 30. Capital expenditures of nonfarm, nonfinancial corporations rose to an annualized rate of $892 billion, up 21 percent from a post-2000 low of $737 billion in 2002. The latest figures are only 4 percent below the $929 billion that those companies spent in 2000.
Monthly durable-goods orders, a leading indicator of capital spending, rose for the third month in four last September (after taking out orders for both defense and transportation equipment). And in some industries — including energy and utilities, health care, food and beverages, and aerospace and defense — capital spending increased by an average annual rate of 6 percent or more from 2000 through 2003, according to a new study by Pittiglio Rabin Todd & McGrath (PRTM), a Waltham, Massachusetts-based management-consulting firm.
But other observers question whether such data presages a broad-based revival of capital spending, given the economy's weak fundamentals. "The rate of growth of profits, industrial production, and job creation is slowing," notes Philip Arestis of the Cambridge Centre for Economic and Public Policy at the University of Cambridge, in England. While consumers' spending continues to grow, their incomes are rising less rapidly, calling into question the sustainability of their purchasing power.
Meanwhile, PRTM's new study of spending at 300 companies — presented here as CFO's first capital-spending scorecard — shows just how deep, and wide, the capital-spending trough has been. During the past four years, the 20 largest U.S. and foreign companies in 15 capital-intensive industries reduced their expenditures by 17.9 percent. The total for the companies in the study came to $533 billion in 2003, compared with $649 billion in 2000. And the decline in spending came despite a 9 percent increase in revenue for the group during the same period. Unless these companies are about to abruptly reverse course — and there's little evidence beyond the latest durable-goods report to suggest they will — it seems clear that the U.S. and global economies will continue to be held back in the near term by weak expenditures.
Yet the study also gives reason for optimism. By tracking the top performers in capital spending as measured by return on gross fixed assets (see "Measuring Capex," at the end of this article), our scorecard shows that companies can spend more on capex without hurting their bottom lines.

SANFORD, Fla. -- George Zimmerman's attorney strongly objected to a prosecution proposal that third-degree murder be included in the jury instructions. Defense attorney Don West on Thursday called the proposal "outrageous," given that it is premised on the idea that Zimmerman committed child abuse since 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was underage when he was fatally shot.
[Special coverage: George Zimmerman trial] Judge Debra Nelson says she will rule on the proposal later. The judge, however, agreed with the prosecution that jurors could consider manslaughter as a lesser charge. West said he wanted the six jurors to only consider the second-degree murder charge or not guilty, but the jury will now have three options, second-degree murder, manslaughter, or an acquittal. Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder. He claims he shot Martin in self-defense last year.Zimmerman's defense attorneys rested Wednesday after calling 18 witnesses over four days.Defense attorney Mark O'Mara told CNN there's "overwhelming evidence" that Zimmerman acted in self-defense when he fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, but he worries about jurors returning "a compromise verdict." Some legal analysts have suggested the jury could convict him of the lesser offense of manslaughter.WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer is leaning toward a not guilty verdict -- his opinion.Late Wednesday, the defense team rested its case, bringing Zimmerman a step closer to knowing his fate."And what is your decision?" Judge Debra Nelson asked Zimmerman."After consulting with counsel, not to testify, your honor," Zimmerman said.Zimmerman opted to stay away from the stand.Before his decision -- an exchange erupted between attorney Don West and Judge Debra Nelson. "I object to the court inquiring to Mr. Zimmerman as to his decision about whether or not to testify," Don West said. "Your objection is overruled," Nelson said.Police and city leaders in Florida say they've taken precautionary steps for possible protests or civil unrest if George Zimmerman is acquitted. For months, officials have been working with pastors, youth coaches and community activists to stress a non-violent approach once a verdict is announced. But police also have quietly been making plans to deal with potential violence. In South Florida where the 17-year-old Martin was from, police may set up "First Amendment Zones" in the Miami area for peaceful rallies. Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel also is airing TV ads stressing non-violence.

I'm trying to cleanup properly when my plugin is finished running. This worked fine up through LR 3.0, but Im looking into why it's not working now (under 3.6 or 4.0).
I checked the SDK and found that the LrShutdownPlugin states "Ignored in any Lightroom version older than 3.0"
LrDisablePlugin works, but isn't called when Lightroom is being closed.
Does anyone have a solution? The only hack I can come up with is to have some kind of activity timeout, but that's going to be tough to implement with my current architecture...
I don't fully understand the problem yet - is LrShutdownPlugin not being called in Lr4.0?
For me, LrShutdownPlugin just sets a global flag, then that flag is always checked in loops and background tasks...
I haven't specifically checked whether it's working in Lr4.0, or whether the behavior has changed, nor have I noticed any problems specifically having to do with that, although I have had some strange problems that maybe could have to do with that.
I'm pretty sure both LrShutdownPlugin and LrDisablePlugin were introduced
no earlier than LR 3.0 so if your problem is with LR 2.x then these won't
help you.
It sounds like you have problems with both LR 3.x and 4.x. I'm assuming the
problem is with shutdown detection rather than certain functions failing to
work during shutdown? Correct? It is possible that certain features may
have difficulty (e.g. writing to the catalog) depending on how late they
are called in the shutdown process. As an extreme example if my task
detected shutdown, slept for 60 seconds then tried to update photo metadata
I'd be surprised if it worked.
Correct- it doesn't appear that the shutdown file is getting called in LR 3.6 or LR 4. I haven't tested prior to that. Now, one thing that I've noticed is tha the SDK currently states that a method gets called, yet what I have (and every example I see) is a file that gets specified. Maybe I should try specifying a method instead...
I started development of the plugin around 3.2, and the shutdown worked fine then. I noticed that it stopped working with 4.0 when I was doing some regression testing, so I started up 3.6 and did some tests with it as well. I stripped down my Shutdown.lua code to nothing more than just a log message, and I never see anything - it appears that shutdown just isn't getting called, even in 3.6.
My issue is that I have to start some executable code in the background, and I'd like to kill it on exit. Using a timeout would be a huge pain because I'd have to worry about re-starting the executable when it's needed. I could
LrShutdownPlugin is supposed to be the name of a .lua file. But it only gets invoked when you hit Reload in the Plug-in Manager, not when Lightroom shuts down:
I just verified the same behavior in LR 4.0.
I'm glad someone verified this, as the docs are pretty unclear about the difference (if there is any) on how to use LrShutdownPlugin and LrInitPlugin. One is the name of a script, and the other is a function. Shifting language like this, with a language where functions are first-class objects that can be passed around as params, is a recipe for confusion.
So, LrShutdownPlugin is called when the plugin is shutdown "for any reason". Well, other than the app shutting down. Which sort of makes sense -- we certainly don't want the app to be hung on shutdown because of a bad plugin, possibly one that has some handle to the DB open.
LrShutdownPlugin is called when the plugin is shutdown "for any reason". Well, other than the app shutting down.
But what other reasons are there to call it? Sure, you could call it when the plugin was removed. There's already a disable for when the plugin is disabled. Yes, I suppose you could hang something if your shutdown doesn't return, but that could be the case with any part of the plugin.
A plug-in keeping the app from cyling is particularly bad -- it is the last recourse for users trying to fix intractible problems. Anything that increases the number of force quits is not a good strategy. It is very common to to restrict activity like this on shutdown.
I'm not saying this is on purpose, but it does make sense in an environment where you have to balance convenience (API access by third-parties) with safety. It might just be an oversight on Adobe's part.
LrDisablePlugin is a hook into the plug-in manager to know when the disable button has been activated. This is different from LrShutdownPlugin, which can happen for a variety of reasons, only some of which are user-activated. I suspect that if you made a plug-in that failed sometime after being enabled (say, by hooking into the extras menu and forcing a failure) LrShutdownPlugin might be called as a last resort. If my guess that it is sort of a final block is correct.
I'll add this to the scenarios I'd like to check.
