For more information on collecting bookplates and an incredible array of beautiful images, visit Jaffe's Bookplate Junkie blog.
Bookplate mania peaked in America and England from 1890 to about 1920. That's when the really great collections were formed. Most of these were eventually either dispersed or absorbed into other collections. These collections are like old friends because they all came from the same gene pool: There were around 100 collectors who actively exchanged duplicates and many of the same core plates are to be found in all the collections, and they were typically mounted on 6-inch by 9-inch card stock. Today, if there are even 200 bookplate collectors in the United States I would be very surprised.
Finding Bookplates
When I started this adventure about 35 years ago there was no eBay so I built my collection without it. Today eBay offers an excellent way to find bookplates from around the world. It takes time and discipline because there is so much clutter, but it is still worth the effort.
Bookplate societies are another great resource. When I first got interested in bookplates I joined both The American Society of Bookplate Designers and Collectors and the British Bookplate Society. These organizations gave me an opportunity to meet with and obtain bookplates from other collectors. It still makes good sense to join these organizations, as one of the easiest ways to build a collection is to exchange duplicates. There are over 200 individual members in the group and around three quarters have indicated a willingness to exchange bookplates.
Bookplate engravers and designers are often willing to send you a bookplate in exchange for one of yours. It's a simple way for them to meet potential customers. Of course, you need a decent bookplate to begin with.
Antiquarian and used booksellers will go out of their way to help you if you make your interest known to them. It gets harder each year as the number of open shops decreases, and the number of pre-1920's books on their shelves decreases. Start looking in either the poetry or foreign language sections as owners of such books seem to have used bookplates more frequently and there is often less turnover of inventory. Ask the bookseller if they keep a box of detached boards. I have found some excellent 18th century plates in such boxes.
In most large communities there is also at least one hand bookbinder. Check the Yellow Pages, Google, or ask a book dealer. More often than not they are pack rats and hold onto old bookplates, and in some instances are more than willing to sell you a cigar box full. I also buy a number of bookplates directly from dealers at book and paper shows. Once you become a regular face at these shows, dealers will save things for you. It pays to stop at every booth and ask.
I am almost embarrassed to admit that I used to look up the ages of bookplate collectors and write to all those over eighty to inquire if they knew of any collections for sale. It was actually very productive and I bought two major collections that way. For the record, I am 70, so do not bother me until 2018! I've occasionally gotten some remarkable bookplates by writing to celebrities, but I have not had much luck in recent years. Too much mail is filtered by assistants and, more often than not, you get a signed photo or an auto-penned label.
Themes in Bookplate Collecting
Many collectors have specialized topics and themes that they focus on. I tend to spend my time and energy searching for 18th-century American Ex Libris, bookplates from the libraries of famous people from any country, and bookplates with Jewish signs or symbols. But the list keeps growing. Rabbits are a good case in point: I started with two Rabbit plates and in the dark of night between the covers of their snug album pages they reproduced, so now I have a litter of eight. Five are domestic and three came from England. I know there are collectors out there who focus on dogs, cats, owls, stamps, chess, and even chickens.
I've always been partial to dated bookplates. Somehow, knowing precisely when a bookplate was engraved is very orderly and comforting. A strange choice of words perhaps, but that is my gut feeling.
Two excellent reference books about dated bookplates are:
Dated Book-Plates (Ex Libris) with A Treatise On Their Origin And Development by Walter Hamilton. (Three volumes, with Volume two covering the eighteenth century.)
Early Printed Book Labels by Brian North Lee. (Anything written by Brian North Lee is carefully and lovingly researched.)
How to Remove a Bookplate
Let us assume you purchased a book with significant historical significance, an association copy from the library of a president. It would be a crime against future generations to remove the bookplate. On the other hand, if you went to a library book sale and got a Reader's Digest Condensed Book with a bookplate you wanted, the removal would be completely acceptable. It's all very subjective.
Over the years I have removed many bookplates. Sometimes the books were donated to a charity, sometimes they were resold on eBay. If you want to learn how to safely remove a bookplate, I would suggest that you start by practicing on distressed items. Those with red dye should be tested first with a moistened Q-Tip, as red ink tends to bleed. From time to time you may be surprised to find a second bookplate under the one you removed.
Here's how I remove the bookplates without damaging the book:
1. Boil Water.
2. Fold a paper towel in quarters and cut it slightly larger than the bookplate.
3. Using tongs, immerse the folded towel into the boiling water.
4. Place the steaming towel on top of the bookplate. If the bookplate is on the inside front cover be sure it is level. You may have to place a saucer under it to keep it level.
5. Wait two minutes and place the point of a knife under a corner of the bookplate. Lift gently and try to pull off. If you encounter resistance continue to soak another minute.
6. To avoid curling, after removal , place the bookplate between some dry paper towels, place a book on top, and let it sit for a day.
These instructions should not be used for leather bookplates, which were used by many of the wealthiest American bibliophiles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are very elegant, but as a practical matter the oils in the leather tend to damage the pages they touch. Removal of leather bookplates can be done by inserting the tip of an X-acto blade under a corner and gently prying the plate upward. Most glue used on leather did not bond well and the plates usually can be removed intact.

I use Windex for removing bookplates, very possibly my own discovery!
I spray a fair amount of Windex onto the bookplate and about 1 cm around it, allowing a small "puddle" to form. I let it sit for a 10-20 seconds, then carefully lift a corner with a very thin knife or box-cutter. If there is resistence, I let it sit for another minute or two.
On rare occaisions the windex can cause the ink to run, but of 100s I've used, it may have happened once or twice.
If the pbacking paper of the book is chrome paper, there could be problems. The softer and pulpier the paper, the easier it is. Windex dries very fast, and dosen't do much damage to the book, if at all.
upon removing the plate, I wipe off the melted glue on the back of the plate with liberal Windex sprays.
I often wash the bookplate off under running water, then dry it using your method to prevent curling.
This method does not work on rubber-cememt type glue so-often used today.
I have also experimented with 3-M Office machine cleaning spray, wich is a foam. It often works on stubborn plates, but is stronger and harsher than Windex. the likelyhood of causing ink running is greater.

I have recently found my bookplate collection from the 1970s. I was 8 at the time and I had placed them on construction paper. I have steamed them off now but how can I attractively and safely store them?
Jana Apergis Says:
I have recently purchased a hand-made leather blank journal with an oriental motif of dragons on front/verso. The acid-free pages are hand-made also. I had planned on tipping-in each bookplate per page. Book has 200 pages. This also leaves space on the page for writing important facts regarding each bookplate. The journal has antique "C-locks" to enclose the contents within its designed leather covers. Tipping them in requires the kind of light glue, available at "hobby" shops which adheres just along the edge like a "post-it" note. I would not recommend adhering bookplates to cardboard or using a harsh glue even to mount them on paper.
Dennis Says:

Could any of you advise on the type of glue to use to glue a personal bookplate on your books. One that would not ruin the paper of the plate and book. Thanks.

Add 10 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil to 1 cup of Baking Soda. Mix well with a fork.
This is a good tip and it really works – yet you have to be careful when vacuuming it up because it clogs the vacuum pretty bad. At least it did mine and I used a sieve sprinkling on the baking powder.
I do this and it works. Instead of spreading into carpet with my hands, though, I use a broom and sweep it in. Much easier!
I'll have to try this out! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You've made some decent points there. I checked on the internet to find out more about the issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this website.

We use a baking soda and lavender oil mixture on our mattresses while we are washing our sheets to get the mattresses smelling fresh. This is particularly helpful for young children's mattresses once they move into a regular bed from a plastic-covered crib mattress and might still have leaks now and then. 😉

Savoury and enjoyable hot and I am looking forward to trying it cold too. I used fresh tomatoes and zucchini straight out of the garden and also added a green pepper I picked. I mixed all ingredients together as suggested by previous reviewer.Thankyou Tis.
The flavour of this slice is 10 star!!! I made it exactly as written, and tried it hot out of the oven, and it was delicious. I waited to review as I wanted to try it cold. It was worth the wait...as good as it was while it was hot? It was BRILLIANT cold! I have packed a slice in everyone's lunchbox for tomorrow. I will make this again and again, but my only change would be to mix all the ingredients together, as I found it was hard to eat as finger food with the zucchini layer on the bottom.

Dear Heloise: I use my food vacuum sealer not only for food storage, but also for important documents, as follows:
After completing my IRS return, I seal all forms with supporting records in the required length of the 11-inch roll of plastic.
This ensures a complete file in the event of an audit and greatly reduces the space required for the information in the file-cabinet drawer.
After sorting the papers for my safety-deposit box into legal envelopes by categories, I list the contents on the front of the envelope, then seal and trim away the excess.
This space-saving technique has enabled me to maintain everything in the smallest (and cheapest) bank box, expedites record retrieval and prevents damage to my records in the remote event of a flood at the bank.
As part of my hurricane-evacuation preparedness plan, I seal updated insurance policies, my will, etc., before filing.
When evacuation became necessary, I quickly removed from the file cabinet only those papers I had previously sealed.
This process took only seconds, and I had peace of mind knowing that these important decisions had been made without the stress inherent when a storm is threatening. - Peg M., Houston
Now, who would have thought of this? Good going, Peg! - Heloise

Vintage Vamp: En Vogue, The Funky Divas
The other day, we caught the "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" video on VH1 Soul, and we've been knee-deep in En Vogue nostalgia ever since! Really, who was more glamorous than Dawn Robinson, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones and Cindy Herron in the Nineties? Sure, the R&B goddesses managed to sell over 20 million albums worldwide, win a zillion awards (including AMAs, Soul Train Awards, and a record-breaking seven MTV Video Music Awards), and spend a total of 2,800 weeks on the Billboard charts--but it's their look that has us misty-eyed! In an era where female musicians were either gangsta-boo tough (SWV, Excape, Da Brat) or overly sexed-up (hello, Lil Kim!), En Vogue was a throwback to old-school glamour. Taking cues from iconic style goddesses like Diana Ross, Diahann Carroll and Dorothy Dandridge (did they have a thing for "D's?"), En Vogue's signature beauty look was about a strong, filled-in brow; a swoop of cat-eye liquid liner; and matte red lipstick. Their retro-glam look reached its zenith in the sublime video for "Giving Him Something He Can Feel," where the ladies performed for a club of fawning men in slinky scarlet dresses, serious mascara and flawless fire-engine-red lipstick. Perfection! Last year, for their twentieth anniversary, En Vogue reunited and performed at the 2009 ESSENCE Music Festival. Here's to twenty more years of fabulous music...and fierce, glamour girl style!

Georgia Dome to host Wolfpack, Vols in 2012 opener
Published: Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 3:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 3:28 p.m.
ATLANTA (AP) Tennessee and North Carolina State will meet for the first time since 1939 when they open their 2012 seasons in the Georgia Dome.
Tennessee and N.C. State have split the only two games they have played before continuing the tradition of a Southeastern Conference team facing an Atlantic Coast Conference team in the season-opening game called the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff.
The game, scheduled for Sept. 1, 2012, is organized by the Chick-fil-A Bowl committee and was called "the Daytona 500 of college football," by bowl president Gary Stokan, who announced the matchup on Thursday.
Tickets will be split evenly between the two schools.
Alabama will play Virginia Tech in this year's opener on Sept. 5.
Alabama beat Clemson before a sellout crowd of 70,097 in the 2008 game.

In order to test if a new design is going to be useful, we're doing A/B testing on it. However, the design integrates a large number of files so we don't want to have to keep moving them around.
Is it possible to use mod_rewrite to mask the fact that we've moved both into their own subdirs?
In other words, someone visits http://www.ourdomain.com/ and they see the design located in "public_html/old/" or "public_html/new/" depending on which we have set to show in .htaccess. However, they never know the designs are in subdirs.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Feb 01st, 2006
Running Time: 85
Director: C G Culpepper
Company: Kick Ass Pictures
Cast: Buster Good, Steven St. Croix, Sandra Romain, Jersey Jaxin, Alicia Angel, Lee Stone, Barry Scott, Jordan Fleiss
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
In a stroke of marketing genius, this series works both as porn for toy fetishists and as an extended infomercial for the particular toy featured: the Kick Ass Pussy Pump. Girls use it on their labia to make them swollen and puffy. Besides the visual kink of engorged pussy lips, this is also supposed to make the area more sensitive.
In the strongest of these five scenes, petite jailbaiter Jersey Jaxin demonstrates her favorite toy for Steven St. Croix, then he throat fucks her while she wears the pump. Their hot talk throughout the scene does a lot to raise the temperature.
Sandra Romain turns in a reliably enthusiastic performance with Lee Stone, and Alicia Angel goes anal with Barry Scott. But aside from the pussy pump angle, too often this turns into just another formulaic fuck-and-suck. Ron Jeremy appears as the product pitchman.
Retailing: For toy fans looking for something different; stock with the series.

The Churchill Town Centre Plan was prepared to develop an attractive, safe, accessible community and commercial centre. The plan is currently being implemented, with a mix of public and private infrastructure being built including the Churchill and District Community Hub, rebuilding of the retail centre and Churchill Hotel.
Over the past few years, the plan has been implemented through the rebuild of West Place shopping centre, expansion of Hazelwood Village, re-opening of Churchill Hotel and construction of the Churchill & District Community Hub. In addition, power lines in Philip Parade have been placed underground, Philip Parade and Marina Drive have been reconstructed, Georgina Place and West Place have been realigned, the car park between the Hub and skate park built, the pedestrian concourse between Hazelwood Village and West Place shopping centres constructed, the taxi rank and bus shelter erected, and the plaza at the town hall completed.
Current projects within the commercial centre include the completion of upgrades of the northern car park and reconstruction of Balfour Place. A Master Plan for the East-West Link between Philip Parade and the University campus has been completed and adopted by Latrobe City Council.
The current plans for the Churchill town centre were commenced in 2007.
Developments in the commercial centre are ongoing, reconstruction of Balfour Place expected to be completed during 2015. Further development of the precinct between Philip Parade and the University campus will occur when funding is obtained.
Funding of Churchill town centre redevelopment is provided by the private sector for commercial and car park redevelopment, Latrobe City Council, State Government, Federal Government and the University for public works.
Redevelopment of the public aspects of the commercial centre is estimated to cost approximately $4,000,000.
For further information, please contact Latrobe City Council on 1300 367 700.

End of the winter day –
A line of singing people
Moves through the wood.
(haiku – Tito, Arashiyama, 7.2.09; photo – Noriko Kan, Mt. Ishizuchi; Japanese translation – Hisashi Miyazaki)

Superb photo accompanying an evocative haiku.
The compactness of the translation is fabulous.
The "line of singing people" generates a kind of warmth within the cold evoked by the first and last lines and photo– delicious!

Hi. I've accidentally bootlooped my l9. I've flashed the tweakdrypt 4.4 coz it was far better than my 4.2. After flashing it with artas's recovery I couldn't enter recovery mode again. I used the LG support tool and fixed the Rom by updating. I've updated from 20c to 20f (play Poland). I've got a backup on my sd with the old tdt and 20c. But I can't root that 20f with methods found on any forum so I can't do a restore Please help me

Companies that specialize in acquiring patents and then licensing them out are also attracting more attention. Some are seen as potentially lucrative, like Acacia Research. But Rambus' defeat underscores the volatile nature of that sort of business. "Companies that make money off of patents rather than products face significant risks to their business model as each important case, in a sense, is a bet-the-company litigation," said Colleen Chien, a professor at Santa Clara Law.Taken from Rambus news article
Neither of these companies was a pattet troll as your post somewhat implies. Rambus had a technology that never panned out (a serial bus memory interface). But where they struck in patents was a complete BS patent involving DDR ram. When the industry was agreing on what should be a standard for how this should work (so chips coud be used interchangably) RMBS snuck out and got a pattent on it. The RMBS patents were a total joke.This has little to do with MNTA. MNTA's tech did work, it allowed them to characterize Lovenox such that they could get mL approved years faster than either Amphastar or Teva. Even w/o the pattent the tech netted hundreds of millions on mL alone.And at this moment in time it is uuncertain if anubody can yet make a generic Lovenox w/o the MNTA technology. Of course it can be done sometime, but when and at what cost is open to question.Yes, the Amphastar trial is big, but not the entire company.

I know there's a few CSS Reset tools out there, Eric's and Yahoo's to name 2.
However, when I'm using certain tags (I think they're called tags?) such as "li" and "ul", I get some extras in the User Agent Stylesheet. Some of these are:
-webkit-margin-before: 1em;
-webkit-margin-after: 1em;
-webkit-margin-start: 0px;
-webkit-margin-end: 0px;
-webkit-padding-start: 40px;
I'm wondering if there's a reset stylesheet out there that deals -webkit etc?
I have searched for one, but with now luck.

First of all I want to thank you for this plugin!
I have two suggestions.
- To add new line (
\n) between tags in HTML output to make source code more readable.
- To add "thead_rows" attribute to the shortcode for ability to define a number of rows to be included in

Here is my code:
url: "/api/invoice/" + newInvoice._id,
type: 'PUT',
data: JSON.stringify(newInvoice),
dataType: 'json',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8"
.success(function () {
$('#statusLine').text('Successfully submitted invoice {0}. Click here to dismiss.'.format(newInvoice._id));
.error(function (err) {
The request:
PUT http://localhost:8000/api/invoice/16211 HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8000
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 770
Origin: http://localhost:8000
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1132.57 Safari/536.11
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3
The request body is actually a valid json, I have just truncated it for brevity.
The response:
HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
X-Powered-By: Express
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 1386
ETag: 250542419

"msg": "Cannot update the invoice #16211, because it has already been updated by someone else.",
"invoice": {
"items": [
Again, the response is a completely valid json, truncated for brevity.
As expected, the
error handler is invoked with the
err object. However, how can I get hold on the parsed json? Of course, I could check that the content-type of the response is json and then parse the
err.responseText myself, but isn't it what jQuery ajax is supposed to do for me? I mean, it does so for my
$.get queries when I get the objects from the server.
What am I missing?
This is a correction to http://stackoverflow.com/a/12310751/80002:
Doing the request:
var ajax = $.ajax(...
Processing the error response:
var res, ct = ajax.getResponseHeader("content-type") || '';
if (ct.indexOf('json') > -1) {
res = $.parseJSON(err.responseText);
// process the response here

The soup was just as described with a sweet taste but a slight kick. I followed the other reviewers recommendations and added some potatoes. Also, i added a carrot (for color). The only thing i noticed was that as the savoy cabbage cooked (took longer than anticipated), the apple disintegrated.
I would make this again as it was easy and i had most of the ingredients in the pantry already.

All student eligible work in the listed categories (narrative, documentary, animation) are invited to submit
*Entries into the Student Section of the Festival must provide proof of eligibility (student id) upon request.
Works in this division use animation
as their primary practice. The division welcomes all
topics and foci, and encourages creative applications
of animation. The Festival has a long-standing tradition
of animation for all ages. We are interested in
animation for both children and adults. The CIV+VF
has traditionally presented a Saturday Morning
Cartoons For Kids program for children of all ages as
part of the Festival's regular programming. For the second year in a row we are pleased to announce a
$1,000 screening fee award dedicated to the works
chosen for our Saturday Morning Cartoons/First Night screenings. The child-friendly animated works chosen for the screenings will receive a screening fee for the use of their work thanks to the generosity of the Puffin Foundation West, Ltd.
Narrative Feature
All narrative features (45 min or over) are invited. Our programming focuses on unique independent voices from around the world.
Promotional / Industrial
Corporate and individual media that introduce bold new approaches to promotional and industrial film.
Documentary Feature
Celebrating unique independent voices from around the world, all documentary features (45 mins or over) are invited to submit. Awards will be given in several genre subcategories including:
Science and Technology
Social Issues
Religion and Spirituality
Documentary Short
Celebrating unique independent voices from around the world, all documentary short films under 45 minutes are invited to submit. Awards will be given in several genre subcategories including:
Science and Technology
Social Issues
Religion and Spirituality
New Media/Experimental
Serialized fiction and non fiction work intended for internet distribution. A maximum total running time of 15 minutes.
Narrative Short
Narrative works under 45 minutes
LGBT Cinema
Works in this division of the CIF+VF must
focus on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community and/or experience in some meaningful way. The works may be in any genre: narrative, documentary, experimental, feature length
or shorts. This division is sponsored by Stonewall Columbus and includes an up to $1000 travel award to bring winning filmmakers to the CIF+VF. Several screenings at the 63rd CIF+VF will be dedicated to LGBT works, also sponsored by Stonewall Columbus. To enter this category the work MUST be from an LGBT filmmaker or have an LGBT character of substance in the film (ie; NOT a minor LGBT character but rather the focus of the film).
Dedicated to serving filmmakers and their audiences by celebrating
excellence in filmmaking, the Columbus International Film and Video Festival believes in educating and entertaining people through the art and experience of film and video.
There is a $1000 Travel Award for filmmakers (of any type) to attend the CIF+VF. The filmmakers chosen will attend the Festival and one filmmaker may perform the final adjudication for the 2015 Greater Columbus Arts Council Media Fellowships. The filmmaker chosen to adjudicate the Fellowships will receive an honorarium as well as travel funds. These awards are not limited by division so all filmmakers are in consideration for these awards. The award amounts (travel and honorariums) are dependent upon travel and housing costs incured by the Festival.
This year Stonewall Columbus will choose an LGBT filmmaker to attend the screening of their film and bring the filmmaker to the CIF+VF, all expenses paid.
For the third year in a row we are pleased to announce a $1,000 screening award dedicated to the works chosen for our Saturday Morning Cartoons.
Join the hundreds of independent and corporate producers who enter their productions in the Columbus International Film + Video Festival, aka the Chris Awards. This most distinguished competition, with its coveted Chris Statuette, has been awarding quality productions since 1952! We are the longest running Film Festival in the USA.
The Columbus Film Council was founded in 1950 by Dr. Edgar Dale, professor of educational media at The Ohio State University, and other media professionals interested in promoting the use of 16mm motion pictures. Dale was an early advocate of using the latest media as tools for education and communication. In 1952, their efforts grew into the Columbus Film Festival, further spreading the gospel of easy-to-use 16mm film and the documentary wonders it made widely available. Today the Festival is called the Columbus International Film + Video Festival, or the CIF+VF. The Festival has run continuously since, making it the longest-running film festival in North America. Through the years, the Festival has honored thousands of films, filmmakers, and producers. The Chris Award is proudly displayed in production offices around the world. The Chris Award has also at times been a qualifying festival for the Academy Awards. The Festival's awards remain a revered prize for industry professionals, but the organization is equally passionate about supporting independent film. The juried competition focuses on rewarding the world's best films, regardless of origin, while the Festival serves to promote and screen more and more films every year.

Costco Cabernets
In tough financial times, 'club' stores have a few special Thanksgiving bottles
It sure seems like a Costco Christmas, doesn't it? We thought about that as we considered our recommendations for Thanksgiving wine this year.
Thanksgiving is the single most special meal of the year for many of us and the wine choice is always a matter of intense consideration. Every wine writer dutifully offers advice on the "perfect" pairing, but there are far too many variables -- from what flavor Jell-O mold to whether the bird is turkey, goose or actually made of tofu -- to make any single choice.
Overall, it's important that the wine be fairly light on its feet -- not too alcoholic, not heavy, not overly oaky -- so it doesn't seem like yet another side dish on a table already overloaded with them. Many people start the festivities with sparkling wine as an aperitif, so keep in mind that sparklers are often outstanding accompaniments to food, too, because of their good acidity and bubbly digestibility. If you serve a white wine, we once conducted a tasting with our own annual Thanksgiving meal -- roast turkey, bread stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes with marshmallows -- and found that a dry Riesling or Pinot Gris from the U.S. worked well. In terms of reds, Pinot Noir is a fine choice, especially the ever-improving Pinots from Oregon.
Now, all that said, our longtime advice for Thanksgiving -- what we have enjoyed every year -- is an American Cabernet Sauvignon with some age on it. Here, briefly, are the reasons: 1) It's an American holiday and the wine should be American. 2) We prefer red wine with the meal because it stands up to such an imposing menu and it's appropriate to the season. 3) Good Cabernet Sauvignon has the structure, stature and bearing to belong at the Thanksgiving table. It's not for nothing that America's best, most-famous and most-expensive wines continue to be made from Cabernet. 4) An older Cabernet, with tastes that have melded and tannins that have softened, is great with both white and dark turkey meat and pairs well with the other dishes without overwhelming them.
So if you do have any older Cabernet Sauvignon around the house, now is the time to open one. The grim financial news of the past few months certainly should remind all of us that the time to drink our good wine and give thanks for what we have is now.
We realize that most Americans don't have any older Cabernet in the house, but we would still recommend Cabernet for Thanksgiving. It is the world's most majestic red grape, after all, and this is the time to showcase it. There are more and more outstanding merchants these days who would love to talk with you about a fine wine for Thanksgiving. Where do Americans actually buy wine, though? Costco.
The Dow Jones Warehouse Cabernet for Thanksgiving Index
In a tasting of every American Cabernet Sauvignon we could find at Costco and Sam's Club stores in New Jersey, these were our favorites. If you were going to buy your Thanksgiving Cabernet from these stores, these are the ones we would recommend. The offerings at the warehouse stores generally do not include many outstanding, small-production Cabernets that are available at the burgeoning number of excellent neighborhood wine stores all over the U.S. The prices we have listed are the prices we paid at the Costco and Sam's stores. The Charles Krug and Raymond generally cost about $5 more, while the others cost about what we paid.
Charles Krug Winery 2005 (Yountville, Napa Valley). $20.99.
Very Good.
Best of tasting (tie).
Lovely dark color, with cedar on the nose. Ripe, dark fruit, excellent tannins and some aging potential. A complete wine, with layers of flavor -- Bordeaux-like structure and rich California fruit.
Simi Winery 2005 (Alexander Valley). $20.48.
Very Good.
Best of tasting (tie).
Looks rich and even smells like ripe, chewy fruit, with blackberries, blueberries and savory spices of the kind we'd put into stuffing. Earthy, with good tannins and a little bit of bittersweet chocolate. Big, rich, friendly wine.
J. Lohr Winery Estates "Seven Oaks" 2006 (Paso Robles). $11.52.
Good/Very Good.
Best value.
Pleasant and grapey, with some acidity and blackberry fruit. Nicely dry finish, with some herbs and pepper. Well-balanced. This will be drunk merrily. We didn't like the 2004.
Raymond Vineyard & Cellar "Reserve" 2005 (Napa Valley). $22.99.
Very Good.
Lovely fruit and nicely dry. Tastes classy, with some structure and even a hint of tobacco, like a fine Bordeaux. A wine of some stature, appropriate to a fine meal.
Sterling Vineyards 2005 (Napa Valley). $20.86.
Good/Very Good.
Crisp, clean and nicely acidic. Mouth-watering, with some minerals and a nice little bite at the end. Good with food because it's not too heavy. John thought it was thin; Dottie thought it was simply restrained.
NOTE: Wines are rated on a scale that ranges: Yech, OK, Good, Very Good, Delicious and Delicious!
Costco has become America's wine store. Its world-wide sales of wine in the fiscal year ended Aug. 31 totaled $1.1 billion, the company said. In the U.S., Costco warehouse-club stores sold more than 75 million bottles of wine, making it the nation's top retailer of wine.
After a slow start, Wal-Mart is trying to catch up. More than 2,000 of its stores now have beer and wine licenses and of the 594 Sam's Club stores, 453 sell wine. Wal-Mart and Sam's Club declined to release any figures on their wine sales, but of all the money that Americans spend on wine at stores in the U.S., 10% is spent at club stores, according to Nielsen Co., which tracks sales in food and drug stores.
It seems to us, in these difficult times, that many people will be looking to Costco and Sam's for their Thanksgiving wine. So we visited Costco and Sam's stores and picked up every American Cabernet Sauvignon they offered, regardless of price or vintage.
What we have said about Costco's wine prices in the past -- and what we found again this year, both at Costco and Sam's -- is that the prices are good. They are not giving away wine at ridiculously low prices and, in fact, just about all of the wines are available for less somewhere else. But the prices are consistently in the low range among stores, so that, overall, the prices are fair and reasonable, especially because buying wine and food at the same place saves gas.
We found 40 different U.S. Cabernets at Costco and Sam's. The selection at Sam's was lower-end, with most of the wines priced at $20 or less. The only bottle that cost more than $26 was Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cépages 2000, which was $54.56. Most of the wines were familiar names, though we also saw, for the first time, Newman's Own Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 ($12.88). Costco also offers low-end wines, but has made its reputation by selling wines in all price ranges. Among the wines we bought there were Pine Ridge ($65.99), Grgich Hills ($53.99), Silverado ($42.99) and Joseph Phelps ($43.99). We also found a Robert Mondavi Reserve 2005 for $98.99.
Because of the high turnover, you can never be sure what wine you will find at any Costco or Sam's, but, overall, they provide a pretty good overview of wider-distribution American Cabernet Sauvignon, with names like Beaulieu, Beringer, Kendall-Jackson, Kenwood and Louis Martini. Most of the wines we bought were from the fine 2005 vintage. Neither Costco nor Sam's offered a house-brand Cabernet when we were shopping, but Costco did have a house-brand Kirkland Meritage 2005 (a Bordeaux-style blend that, in this case, was 29% Cabernet), so we included that. Most of the wines at Costco and Sam's are produced in significant quantities by large companies, such as Constellation Brands, that own many wineries. For the kind of small-production, personal Cabernets that often offer special depth and vision, it really is a good idea to visit a fine local wine store.
We tasted the 40 wines in blind flights over several nights. Foremost on our minds: Is this a wine we would recommend to friends for the most festive, most carefully prepared, most filling dinner of the year?

Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Events
On Nov. 20, you'll have the chance to enjoy the earliest fruits of the French harvest. See the list of worldwide Beaujolais Nouveau parties.
The answer, in far too many cases, was no. For years now, we have warned that American Cabernet Sauvignon was getting stupid. Instead of layers of flavor dominated by rich fruit, too many have become leaden and lab-made, tasting more of vanilla, oak, herbal infusions and even sugar.
Unfortunately, this tasting showed that this sad trend has continued. A majority of these wines would be absolutely wrong with your Thanksgiving meal -- far too sweet, far too heavy. It is so important that wines have good acidity and a clean, dry finish so diners are prepared for the next bite of food. Too often, these left us feeling that we'd just sucked down some pancake syrup.
Your guests would not drink them lustily because they are hard to drink. They would eat less because the wine itself is so heavy. They would not enjoy dinner as much because they wouldn't be drinking wine as freely as they might, and conversation -- the precious time together getting caught up -- would certainly suffer. And you know how carefully you chose just the right herbs for the stuffing? Forget it. No one would be able to taste that kind of subtlety. (By the way, we liked the expensive Mondavi, but it was not among our favorites. We did not like the Kirkland Meritage or Newman's Own.)
That means it's important to choose very carefully (and at these stores you're likely on your own). There were some exceptions, as listed in the attached index, and these are the ones we'd recommend. These are wines that tasted like Cabernet, with good fruit, nice acidity and real balance. Any one of them would be a fine addition to your Thanksgiving meal. From the first whiff to the long finish, these would remind everyone at the table that America's bounty includes some fine wines.
Good American Cabernet tastes like America to us and gives us something special in our glass with which to toast a future that we're sure will be very exciting. Happy Thanksgiving.

At work, we have two forests with a two-way transitive trust between them. I need access to the Exchange management shell for an Exchange environment that resides in a different forest than my workstation resides. Currently, I am logging on to one of the Exchange servers every time I need to do any maintenance.
Is it possible to install the Exchange management shell on my workstation to manage the Exchange environment in the other forest? I know the standard install instructions don't work. I'm hoping there might be another way around it.

For 25 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. This year diners have submitted over 60,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK.
Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.
Do you think it deserves to be better known?
Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.
Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Freshly sourced ingredients from the market in which restaurant is situated.Great cheese board with artisan cheeses. Best to go at lunchtime when the market is open as it has a buzzing atmosphere."
"Gastropub, somewhat unremarkable from the outside but with a very pleasant interior. Service friendly, reasonable but nothing remarkable. Very good starter (chicken parfait with toast & chutney) and dessert (panacotta with raspberries) but let down by a rather mediocre main (roast beef and veg etc). £46 per head for 3 courses, glass of wine, coffee, sparkling water and service."
"Think more of themselves than matches reality. Food was competent but not exciting."
"An ocean of stillness at the bar on a hot and crowded west end Saturday, enlivened by cracking oysters (Dorset & Menai) and comforting sole goujons. Service attentive. Wine good but expensive."
"Very well cooked simple fish dishes. Fantastic location on the beach at Whitstable."
"Although the food tasted good and the setting is gorgeous, I feel I have to criticise the very meagre helpings, this is not a cheap restaurant but the size of both the starter and the main was really small. Such a shame as the place and view is really lovely. It made it veryoor value for money and also left all our party of six still hungry."
"Nice local french style restaurant. Very good value set lunch menu. Cooking can be variable"
"Still waiting for standards to drop here given their mammoth roll out - but they never do. An absolute bargain."
"Well-balanced menu, cooked with care and sometimes flair, in a splendid riverside setting. But service can be leisurely to a fault."
"Simply not enough staff! Food was good. The the staff were friendly but they could not cope. We had to wait nearly 20 minutes before anyone appeared at our table!"
Harden's says...
Harden's review of the reviews
The Observer's critic-in-chief heads to Manchester to try out the new Hawksmoor and stumbles across a veggie dining room, 1847, serving great food – well, apart from the desserts. Read our roundup of restaurant news in Manchester and enter our Hawksmoor Manchester competition.
Meanwhile the Guardian's Marina O'Laughlin pays a visit to the much gushed about Kitty Fisher's
Everyone else love, love, loves it but Marina can't help but feel she's ended up at a house party she wasn't quite invited to, particularly as the restaurant staff seem allergic to answering the phone. We can attest to that having called them on at least 10 occasions without success.
The award for most ferocious review this week has to go to The Sunday Times's A A Gill
The critic has a thing or two to say about Mayfair's 'ridiculously overpriced' Mexican, Peyote, including: "...fiddly, neurotic preparation with pale, polite taste and silly, parsimonious sharing plates that aren't bounteous or fun and are more like eating the catering pitch for a drug cartel's wedding.â€
Over at The Times, Giles Coren gives his opinion on Russian-imported pizza chain Bocconcino
"Bocconcino isn't a bad restaurant. It just isn't a necessary restaurant.†At £202 for pizza and pasta it's not hard to see why Mr Coren might feel that way – mind you, a £46 bottle of wine probably helped nudge the bill up.
And last but not least, Ms Maschler reviews Brindisa's new Morada Asador
The Standard's long-standing critic heads to the latest outpost of this tapas chain (in Soho) and finds the meats are the reason to flock here – from the 'delectable' milk-fed lamb to the Secreto Iberico.

I just need one good man...wonder why I can't find him.
I am not looking for a particular race nor ethnicity. I think that is too limiting of any possibility of me finding a good man.After serving in the US Military for several years, I have been exposed to many things. I am not judgmental. Everyone has flaws, but I do demand that I be respected. I am a positive person. I look for the good things in people. I want to meet someone who is similar to me. He should have a level of maturity and has passed the party stage. I mean, getting out sometimes is ok, but not an every weekend thing. He will appreciate me not bringing drama to the relationship by not bringing any himself. Also, he must respect himself and me as well. He will understand how important it is to have a strong relationship with his family and set a good example for his kids and mine. I enjoy meeting people. I am happy and love to be around people who are happy also. I am also known by my friends as being the one to make you laugh and smile when you are down. I have to agree with them. I can be found doing just about anything from camping, quad riding, shooting (I like guns), working out, reading quietly, or just hanging out on my couch watching a good movie.

I spent a night at the Residence Inn in Coconut Grove and had a good experience. The lobby and breakfast area were clean, and breakfast staff were friendly. My room was well appointed and clean, although a bit on the older side, and very spacious and comfortable. The Wi-Fi is free and worked without any problems.
The hotel configuration isn't the easiest to understand, but I found my way around without too much trouble. Parking costs $15, so I parked at the municipal garage across the street for $5. Check in was a major hassle; the clerk swiped my card incorrectly and claimed that it had been denied. I was able to reach my credit union on the phone, and they told him to try again. (It worked.) While there is a pool and a barbecue area on the premises, unfortunately there is no hot tub.
Breakfast was included, and the selection was more extensive than I've encountered at some hotels. Besides the usual carbs, there were a few hot items and a waffle-making station. It would have been nice if the cereal bar had something like Raisin Bran.
Overall, I recommend the Residence Inn. While it does not have as much character as the Mayfair, which I stayed at the last time I visited Coconut Grove, the Residence Inn was much more to my liking.

Parents is a 1989 American black comedy horror film directed by Bob Balaban and written by Christopher Hawthorne. It stars Randy Quaid, Mary Beth Hurt, Sandy Dennis and Bryan Madorsky.
Ten-year-old Michael Laemle has moved with his parents Nick and Lily from Massachusetts to a new neighborhood in 1954 suburbia. As Michael is very socially awkward and also has an overly active imagination, he has trouble making friends at school. He is also prone to extremely weird dreams, such as dreaming that he has jumped into bed- only for it to collapse into a pool of blood.
Emotionally distraught from the move and the dreams, Michael is traumatized by accidentally viewing his parents having sex (he believes that he is seeing them biting into one another) and by viewing his father cutting into a corpse in the Division of Human Testing at Toxico, where Nick is developing a chemical defoliant (like Agent Orange) for use in jungles. As time progresses, Michael begins to suspect that his parents are cannibals, after he discovers (or dreams that he discovers) body parts hanging on a meat hook in the basement. Michael is convinced that what he has seen is true, much to the chagrin of his school guidance counselor Millie Dew. One afternoon Millie goes home with Michael in order to convince him that he is imagining everything, only for the two of them to find a corpse in the basement. Michael runs up to his room while Millie, hiding in the pantry, is found and killed.
When Nick and Lily arrive home, Michael attacks his father. Later that evening Nick and Lily try to feed Michael (possibly human) meat but he fights back and manages to stab his father in the shoulder. Nick then tries to kill Michael, only for Lily to try to protect Michael and die in the process. Michael is then chased around the house by his injured father, who accidentally runs into a gas line due to his injuries. Nick breaks the gas line and then runs into a shelf of wine bottles, which he pulls down onto him and presumably dies. As gas fills the room, Michael has barely enough time to escape before the gas ignites and blows up the house.
The film ends with Michael's grandparents assuming his care. After placing him to bed, Michael's grandfather leaves him a midnight snack consisting of a glass of milk and a suspicious looking sandwich, implying perhaps that his parents' cannibalism was learned behavior.

Parents was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[2]
Parents grossed $870,532 in the US on a budget of $3 million.[1]
Home Media[edit]
The film was released on DVD on 25 May 1999 in its unmatted full screen format. The original DVD went out of print for a brief period of time before the film was re-released in the DVD format as a double feature with the film Fear, presented for the first time in widescreen since its original theatrical release.
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 45% of eleven surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 4.8/10.[3] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times rated it 2/4 stars and said that the film's tone never satisfyingly settles on satire, comedy, or horror.[4] Variety wrote, "There is not enough weight or complexity to the material to justify the serious approach, and while the potential for considerable black comedy exists, Balaban only scratches the surface. The laughs never come."[2] Caryn James of The New York Times wrote, "Parents is not worth going out of your way to see. But its slight, silly satisfactions will probably look bigger on video, especially if you're in a mindless, undemanding mood."[5] Writing for The Washington Post, both Hal Hinson and Desson Howe called it a flawed but impressive debut.[6][7] Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Parents looks like the work of bright, well-intentioned people who've seen a lot of vacuous, predictable horror movies and become convinced that they could make a vacuous, predictable horror movie, too—with a sociological point."[8]
The film has since developed a cult following.[9]

I'm using TikX with LaTeX to draw a technical diagram. I'm trying to draw an irregular polygon around a group of named nodes in a tree. I've gotten as far as
\draw [rounded corners, thick]
(node cs:name=add,anchor=north) --
(node cs:name=cvc,anchor=west) --
(node cs:name=addrc,angle=200) --
(node cs:name=addrc,angle=-20) --
(node cs:name=cnst,anchor=east) --
But the polygon is too close to the nodes. How can I either enlarge the polygon or specify better coordinates to get a diagram where there is some separation between the polygon and the nodes it surrounds?

The Baja 500 is another race that is a favorite to shoot every year. The Baja 1000 from a racers perspective is the race to win each year, but from a photographers point of view, I like covering the 500 a lot more. The reason is that on a point to point peninsula run it is very hard to catch the racers in more then one spot unless you're only following one team. Even then the majority of the race is during the night where you need time to set up lights.
The Silty State 300
The BITD Silver State 300 is one of my favorite offroad races to shoot each year. Just 150 miles outside Las Vegas the race is centered around the old railroad town of Caliente Nevada. Some races you go to you may struggle to find a few good shooting spots but at this race the dilemma is always trying to narrow them down and deciding where to shoot. From water crossings, big silt beds, fast rally roads, forest sceneries and railroad bridges, its hard not to find a good spot to take photos from. But you have to do your homework.
NHRA Denver Brings Flames to Bandimere Speedway
One of my favorite tracks to shoot on the NHRA circuit is in Denver Colorado at the Bandimere Speedway. Its a great location, the fan turnout is high, and you always have some great light, especially on Friday with the night session. This year we got lucky and got some nice cloud cover for the event which helped make some nice photos as well.
2014 Artic Cat Wildcat Trail Adventure
This past November I had the privilege of going to Gateway, Colorado for the debut of the new Artic Cat Wildcat Trail for UTVUnderground.com. After checking out the website for the resort we were going to stay at (Gateway Canyons Resort) I knew there would be some great opportunities to get some real scenic photos.
NHRA in Seattle Shines
For the first time I made the trip to Pacific Raceway just outside of Seattle Washington for the last race on the NHRA Western Swing. Its always exciting to visit a new NHRA track because you are forced to step out of your comfort zone. When you go somewhere you've shot before, its easy to get caught in doing the same thing you've always done, but at a new drag racing track every angle is new, each chance you take on a photo is something you haven't shot before.
LOORRS Breathes Fire Into Glen Helen
The Lucas Oil Offroad Racing Series (LOORRS) came back once again to Glen Helen for their annual night race. Glen Helen is always a fan favorite with full crowds and standing room only. The short tight track makes for some great battles where passing is hard to come by.
