Black All-Weather Wicker Dillon Loveseat with Cushion
This product would be great, if it weren't for the subpar pillows.
I bought the loveseat, full couch, and chair. I was so excited to have finally be able to buy a whole set of outdoor furniture from WM. I had been eying their outdoor furniture for well over a year and when my tax refund came, I committed to buying my set! I was very pleased as the set was on sale, + one of the pieces I bought was a floor item and for that I received an add'l discount. The structure of the furniture is great and I believe it will hold up for a long time. HOWEVER! The pillows are terrible in that I left one of the pillows out for ONE night in the rain and it was ruined! I'm not sure whether it was mildew that was on it, but I have not been able to get the stain out and I'm scared to have the pillows out at all... so, even though it's June, I haven't even had the pillows out! This wouldn't be a complete problem if WM had replacement pillows OR covers to put on the original ones (but they don't). These pillows are for the indoors... they are nothing like true outdoor pillows should be. So, now, I have spent just shy of a thousand dollars and the whole set is dysfunctional because the pillows are ruined. :( WM, please help?

Wood's Apple Cider Jelly - 10oz
Country of Origin: United States
Region: Vermont
City / Village: Springfield
The Wood family has been making Cider Jelly since 1882. They use the same apple press they started out with to grind and press fresh apples to make sweet cider. The cider is then evaporated in a wood-fired stainless steel evaporator until the cider is reduced to 1/9 of its original volumne and becomes this sweet and intensely appley concentrated jelly. It couldn't be any simpler: just concentrated cider with nothing added, no preservatives or sweeteners. The cider from about 30 to 50 apples is concentrated in every pound of Cider Jelly.

Extras from the Winter 2012 issue of Franciscan Way Magazine
I have many great basketball travel memories. I remember the angst that some of my basketball teammates felt on a flight to Chicago to play DePaul University. For some of the guys, it was their first airplane ride. I recall seeing some wide-eyed expressions of "Whoa!"
Our trip to play the University of Buffalo happened in the dead of winter, and we were greeted by 10 to 12 inches of snow that prevented walks downtown for shopping or a movie. Getting to the arena was a real challenge.
Then there was the trip to Carbondale, Illinois, to play Southern Illinois University with the great Walt "Clyde" Frazier. We combined this game with a trip to Owensboro, Kentucky, to play Kentucky Wesleyan, the NCAA Division II defending national champions.
A few Baron "maniacs" gave up their spring breaks to follow the basketball team. Their mode of transportation was using their thumb. On one of these trips, we saw them on the road "thumbing" and mercifully stopped the bus. One maniac was Ken Gaherty '68 from New York. Ken and his wife, Sue Ann (Feile '68), are friends of ours to this day.
In 1972, I signed up for a 3-credit anthropology course during Christmas Break, which was to consist of a two-week trip to Kentucky. When I arrived on campus in early January, we erected tents behind St.Thomas More Hall. It appeared we were going sleep outside! I left campus for my favorite watering hole, Peatty's Bar. I never made the trip and instead spent two weeks alternating between my aunt's house in Weirton, West Virginia, and the public library. I got my credits, but I never camped again and still haven't been to Kentucky!
During Christmas Break of my senior year, Prof. Tom Lambert and Prof. Jack Boyde '66 organized an archeology dig in the dead of winter. (How we survived, I'm really not too sure about except that I think there was a good bit of beer and wine to keep the blood warm.) We camped out in Kentucky—though most of us slept in our cars or in the heated restroom. We also stayed in a cabin in Ligonier. We had a blast, and the professors were very entertaining. We did actually manage to scrape up some arrow heads, pottery pieces, and other artifacts that I believe are still on display.
Another good memory is a trip to Fort Lauderdale. Many rode down in greatly overcrowded vehicles and with very little money. We had about 20 people in the room that I stayed in. There were lots of sunburns and laughter.
During the Barons' 1972-1973 Division II basketball playoff run, the school chartered a bus for students who wanted to go. The Barons beat Hiram 54-51 and next faced Philadelphia University. We were really expected to lose that game but won 61-51. We had lots of Philly natives in our group, and those of us who went stormed the court like it was Duke defeating North Carolina. We were on break when we faced Akron in what I think was the regional final. I remember listening to that on the radio from my home, only to have us lose out 49-47. That was really an exceptional team.
I remember riding along Route 80 with John Fella '74 in his Plymouth Volare from Bergenfield, New Jersey, to Steubenville. The car stalled every time we made a left turn.
My roommate and I used to shop at the Hub in downtown Steubenville, and one week we registered to win a trip to Morgantown, West Virginia. Surprisingly, my roomie won the trip and off we went for the weekend. Neither of us had ever been to Morgantown before, and we stayed in a beautiful resort. We noticed a lot of very tall men walking around, which seemed strange until we found out that the NCAA basketball tournament was being played in Morgantown that weekend, and the team from Georgetown University was staying there. We talked with some of them and actually got free tickets to the semi finals. The other highlight of the trip was eating in a Wendy's for the first time.
My most memorable school trip was a Thanksgiving break trip to Hindman County, Kentucky, to study Appalachia with Prof. Chuck Fluharty and other sociology students. It was an amazing experience of meeting the people and seeing a culture unfamiliar to this Maine native. I could not have asked for a better professor for such a trip. Thanks, Chuck.
One Spring Break, four of us decided to drive to Colorado in a Capri stuffed with sleeping bags, clothing and a couple of guitars. We spent a night in Colorado after driving straight through for 24 hours. Next, we decided to drive to Pecos, New Mexico, where we stopped at a monastery that was holding a weekend retreat. The two guitars players in our group began playing, and the four of us started singing. The retreat leaders heard we were from Steubenville and were convinced we were members of the Servants of God's Love singing group. Even though we tried to explain that we were not, they asked us to play and sing for them. It was my first and last time as a member of a singing group. On the way home, driving through the panhandle of Texas, we were praying the rosary. A truck had come down an exit ramp on Route 40 the wrong way in the middle of the night and was coming right toward us. The old brakes on the car tended to pull to the right, and that is the direction the car pulled as driver slammed on the brakes. We avoided an accident and thanked God for keeping us safe.
My best friend and college roommate lived down the street me in Long Island, New York, which allowed us to commute home fairly regularly. We often chose to drive right through Manhattan to take in the sights of New York City. Crossing the George Washing Bridge and seeing the famous skyline for the first time was an overwhelming and exciting time for our travel companions. We'd often opt to drive through the Lincoln Tunnel to go under the East River to test for claustrophobia. Sometimes we got more of a response than we bargained for.
We brought friends and girlfriends from all over the country home with us, and treating them to a few hours in the city and to a classic slice of the best pizza in the country (with Pepe's in New Haven, Connecticut, the only exception). That remains a fond memory for both John Fischer '83 and me. I even have a photo of my then future wife and me standing on the top of the World Trade Towers from November of 1980.
Being from South Jersey, it was difficult going back to school before Labor Day (the last weekend of the summer at the shore). During my senior year, a couple of us rented a car to drive back for the weekend. It was a long drive for a couple of days at the beach!
During the summer of 1983 or 1984, I joined a swim club/pool north of Steubenville. On Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather, I'd invite MA graduate students to come and hang out for the day. It wasn't expensive to bring guests, so I often showed up with 10 to 20 friends. Sometimes we would have a barbecue or a picnic. The experience helped us build community and gave us the opportunity to wind down, relax, and talk.
I was fortunate enough to have a roommate with a car and friends with the drive and determination to "bust out" on long or short weekends. I have great memories of road trips to American cities and colleges while listening to the Muppet Movie soundtrack. I often left the country to return to my native Canada with as many classmates as I could find.
The more memorable and very extravagant trip back then was spending Spring Break of 1986 in Medugorje with 40 other students. It was rustic by today's standards and included lots of walking, meditation and warm pivo (beer). Being without luggage the entire time was another of life's lessons; thankfully, it was located in the airport on the way home. To this day I always carry an overnight bag and my rosary on long or short hauls.
In March of 1990, about 18 of us stayed with Father John at his parish in Catskill, New York. It was a truly God-inspired trip. We arrived on a Sunday night and Father told us he had forgotten we were coming and hadn't shopped. Instead, he asked for donations from the community. All our meals were planned by the next morning. We were invited to eat others' houses, and people brought food to the rectory for us. We helped with Masses during the week and got plenty of free time and time to witness to his parish community. It was incredibly fun and memorable.
I went on a road trip to the D.C., Virginia, and Maryland area with my friend, Justine. Her dad worked in D.C., and we toured one of the government buildings. We also went to the college strip and hung out at Irish pubs. Her family and house were so warm and inviting. One thing I remember in particular is driving down there (we had to wait for a few days because of the 1993 blizzard) and Justine and a few others singing the Texas Tornados' song, "Hey Baby, Que Paso?"
Freshman year (1993) we took a road trip to Tampa, Florida, for Spring Break. The purpose was to help conduct a series of youth conferences/gatherings. Sounds simple enough, right? We had 11 people and a 12-passenger van and left the night the "Storm of the Century" hit. My mother (as well as several other parents) was sure we'd cancel the trip but we forged ahead. (Oh, to be 18!) Only four of the passengers were legally able to drive the van and one was afraid of the snow, which we hit quite early in the trip. We entrusted ourselves to Our Lady and Paul Kehoe, who was from Illinois and quite capable of white-out condition driving. At one point we were passing snowplows on the interstate!
Most of us packed Florida-type clothing only to get to Tampa and have it still flurrying. Our hosts kindly lent us sweaters and warmer clothing, and the trip was quite a success. The drive home was almost boring with no snow, no wind, and 100 percent visibility!
In the Spring semester of 1999, a few Communication Arts majors decided to create a Catholic reality program similar to MTV's "The Real World. " They wanted to make a pilot episode to pitch to EWTN and use the show as their major project for a TV production class. For whatever reason, they chose Niagara Falls as the backdrop for the project, and I agreed to come and help out.
Back then, there typically wasn't a lot of hassle going back and forth over the Canadian border, but we did catch a little flack on our first entry into Canada, as one of our students from the Caribbean had a student visa, which allowed her entry only into the United States. They eventually let her pass anyway. But upon our reentry on the final day, things got a little tense. A couple of hot-shot border patrol agents took notice of the fact that we had many thousands of dollars worth of University-owned audio and video equipment in the back of Brian's (Mungo '01) Chevy Suburban.
They detained us at the border crossing for a brief time and asked whether we had declared this equipment when we crossed into Canada the first time. Of course we hadn't—we were a bunch of 19 to 22 year-olds who had no knowledge of such things. The officers informed us that it was within their rights to bring in an appraiser to assess the value of our equipment and detain us at the border until we paid a duty tax on all of it. To his credit, Brian remained calm and was able to convince the officers of our status as ignorant students, and they eventually let us go. For all I know, they may have just been trying to scare us to amuse themselves. It worked. And it made for a nice memory and a fun story to tell.
My best college travel memory was to World Youth Day in 2000. It was a remarkable time seeing the now Blessed John Paul II with my friends and taking in the sites of Rome, Assisi, and Turin during the Great Jubilee Year! I will never forget walking through the Great Jubilee doors at St. Peter's the day we arrived in Rome, as well as all of the events of World Youth Day itself, especially the Great Vigil and the Mass with the pope.
While a few semesters abroad ranked high among my more memorable trips, it was an October weekend visit to Saginaw, Michigan, that takes the cake. The extended family of my dear friend and roommate, Eleanor Seasgraves '02, invited us to visit. On a beautiful fall Saturday morning, we admired the beauty of the changing leaves while sitting on the back porch reading the paper and sipping pumpkin coffee. We then went to purchase some freshly picked apples, and I was schooled in the ways of baking a homemade apple pie by "Elle Belle" and her aunt. We returned to the dorms Sunday evening, arms full of our parting gifts: fall decorations that I still use to decorate my office at work, years later.
My funniest road trip story happened senior year when a roommate and household brother got the other guys in the house together on a Wednesday night at 9 p.m. and said, "Let's road trip to Niagara Falls right now!" My more mature side gave an emphatic "Heck, no!" But I quickly succumbed to peer pressure and the idea of fun. I said I would only go on three conditions: 1. I'm not driving; 2. I'm not paying for everyone else's share of gas; and 3.We have to be back by 6 a.m. for my front desk shift at the Fieldhouse. Long story short: We had one of the best times at Niagara that night/morning. But on the return trip, the driver ran out of gas because he couldn't find a gas station open at that early hour. We had to call the car ahead of us in the caravan and ask the driver to turn around and bring us a can of gas. No one had cash, so I paid. We ran into Pittsburgh bumper-to-bumper traffic for the next hour, and I had to call the Fieldhouse and explain why I was going to be late for my shift. I'm pretty sure I got a strike from Chris Ledyard for that excuse. Great times.
For Spring Break 2002, five of us from Brothers of the Eternal Song, Paul Coakley '01, Sean Wilson '01, Eric Harkins '05, Mike Mason'05 and me, piled into Paul's 1991 Ford Ranger, with attached camper, and set out for California. We gathered for a pre-trip blessing, and Sean poured a gallon of holy water over the whole truck for good measure. We planned to take a northern route west, driving south along the coast, and returning along a southern route—but plans are made to be broken!
Shortly after sunrise the next morning, the truck ran out of gas, and gas remained an issue as towns became fewer and farther between. At one point, Sean and I sat in the front watching the gauge dwindle, and when the needle hit empty we began the rosary. As I began to lead the Fifth Mystery, I knew we would be okay. Soon, a town rose into view, and we coasted to a station.
Our first stop was supposed to be in Rapid City, South Dakota, just long enough to see Mount Rushmore. Within an hour of Rapid City, Nature called. Unfortunately, the only gas station was closed, and when we returned to the truck it would not start. We were three miles from the main road, outside in a wind chill of 40 below. Paul worked on the engine, and finally, the truck started better than it had the whole trip. We leaned out the window to celebrate, but Paul was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, from the back of the truck, he ran and jumped in, exclaiming, "I got shocked! I got shocked!" (Maybe it didn't help that he was working with battery terminals while standing waist deep in snow!)
We arrived late in Rapid City and still decided to see Mount Rushmore, but there were no lights on. On our way back down the hill, the transmission quit working just as we passed through a tiny town that thankfully had one hotel open. We had the truck towed to Rapid City the next day, a Saturday, but no transmission shops were open. Paul couldn't fix the truck either, so we had to wait until Monday.
My brother's seminary classmate, Father Brian Christensen, was a priest in Rapid City, so I called him to help us find a place to stay. He offered the floor of the rectory or a cabin set deep in the Black Hills National Forest that the diocese owned. He also offered us the use of his car. We chose the cabin, and this stay was the highlight of the trip, as we ended the day beside a roaring fire playing a Catholic trivia board game called, "Is the Pope Catholic?"
We were able to get the truck fixed Monday for only $37 and left that evening, crossing three states in the next 24 hours. We made it to the Coakley house in California on Tuesday, departing on Wednesday and heading south through California. Paul and Sean visited some old friends, and the rest of us went to Thomas Aquinas College. We hit the Pacific Ocean on Thursday and met up again that night to hit the road. We knew some other Franciscan students, including another household brother, Thomas Kosh '04, were camping in Joshua Tree National Park. We met up with Thomas for some midnight rock climbing and then piled back into the truck at 2:00 a.m.
Around noon Friday we made it to the Grand Canyon, then headed to Mike's house in Gallup, New Mexico. As we got close to Gallup, we realized the spindle, bearings, and a rotor were bad, so we were stuck again. Mike, Eric, and I moved our gear into Mike's car that evening and headed back, while Paul and Sean stayed with the truck. We made it back in 28 hours, arriving in Steubenville at about 1:00 a.m. Monday morning. Paul and Sean got back about 9 a.m. The 10-day trip covered a total of 15 states and approximately 6,000 miles and provided stories we have shared ever since.
When I first drove to Franciscan in August 2007, my car broke down opposite "Devil's Tower" in Wyoming. I called the Benedictine sisters in Wyoming with whom I had stayed the night before, and they called their Oblate colleague who was closer to me, to see if she could help. She—bless her heart—came and got me, loaded all my stuff into her tiny car, and took me to her home overnight. After that she put me on the bus to continue on my way and later sent my belongings to me in Steubenville, one box at a time.
The bus from Rapid City was fine, but the next bus was overbooked so in Kansas City I had to stay overnight in the bus station along with about a dozen lovely Amish people, including several children. They were a very peaceful group, and they sang hymns often through the night.
The next morning I boarded a bus to St. Louis. My daughter picked me up there, and I stayed with some Carmelite nuns who were extremely gracious and provided meals and personal support as well. The next day I got onto a train—no more overbooked buses for me—to Pittsburgh, where a very helpful Franciscan graduate student drove the 80 miles round trip to pick me up.
At the time I interpreted the whole excursion as a test. Thanks to all the kind people along the way, I learned the value of community, friendship, and Christian hospitality, and I also learned about the local bus service in Steubenville. For the first few months, a new friend drove me with her to daily adoration until I could get a car of my own, and for her I will always be very thankful because she introduced me to that wonderful practice. One Valentine's Day I was particularly sad, and the local bus driver, who I sort of knew by then, gave me a free ride in honor of the day. It is these loving people who make all the difference! None of this would have happened without the vehicle mishap out west.

The College ews VOL. XIX, No. 19 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1933 Copyright BRYN MAWR COLLEGE NEWS. 1933 PRICE 10 CENTS Pearl Buck Lectures on Humor of Chinese Chinese Are Mature Race; Nothing Human That v They D,o Not. Know LITERATURE OF COMEDY The famous authoress of The Good Earth and Sons, Mrs. Pearl S.-^uck, lectured in Goodhart on April 19, on the "Chinese Sense of Humor." Hav- ing lived so long among the Chinese, Mrs. Buck has grown to have a deep appreciation of them. She wishes 'that there might be more of an ex- change of ideas between China and the West; and that, as the best of the Chinese students come to America to study, we would send the best of our students to Chinese universities to study the literature, the philosophy, and something of the life of the Orient. China, Mrs. Buck said, is not so wellrknown or so well-liked as Japan; for China, differing in her essential nature from Japan, makes no effort to have people like her. In Japan one travels in comfort and meets with a welcome everywhere, partly because the Oriental feels instinctively that every forigner has money to spend, but partly through sheer courtesy. In China, if one has friends, they show one every courtesy, but the tourist .simply does not exist for them; they are too absorbed in their own life to stop to regard him. The West thinks of China in terms of its lower classes, ignorant, dirty, sordid, simply be- cause the West never meets with the more intelligent people, f One can travel from one end of China to the other and never see the intellectual life that is going on there. Japan has a self-discipline and a self-control unequalled by any other country; and an artistic sense of beauty in her houses, in her gardens, iincl in her landscapes; but her sense of humor is that of a child playing practical jokes. China has a more devil-may-care philosophy; she has an eternal twinkle in her eye, and an infallible readiness to appreciate a joke. A hostile mob can be won Into friendliness by a witty phrase.' China , has probably the largest percentage (Continued from Page Two) Princeton Beats Varsity in Well-Fought Match In a post-season game played for the benefit of the Scholarship Fund, rinceton towered over the Varsity basketball team by at least two feet and by the score of 43-28. The game began with girls' rules and, although Princeton started off with a rush, Bryn Mawr led at the quarter. In the second quarter, Var- sity had a good chance to pile up a comfortable lead in preparation for the second half, which was to be played with boys' rules, but inaccur- acy lost many points and Princeton led by two points at the half. Al- though Bridgman proved to be an imni�sing obstacle in their path, P/inceton easily walked away with the second half, Upson leading the offense and scoring twelve points. The game as a whole was fast, with plenty of excitement and the basso profundo shouts are still ring- ing in our ears. We hope that a Princeton-Bryn Mawr game will be- come a post-season custom. The line-up was as follows: Princeton Bryn Mawr Hellerson ......f...........Collier Upson ........f............Faeth Mertz .........c.........Longacre Perera .......s. c......Remington Martin ........g........Bridgman Good .........g.........Bowditch 1*�iat��Princeton: Hellerson, 14; Upson, 20; Perera, 3; Martin, 4; Good. 2.

In the Music Room, Monday after- noon, Mr. Edward Warburg gave a talk on his trip to Persia with Pro- fessor Arthur Pope to photograph Is- lamic architecture, and devoted a few minutes to remarks on Russia. Mr. Warburg and Professor. Pope traveled into Persia by way of Rus- sia, and, because of numerous delays caused by custom officials and faulty methods of shipping cars and equip- ment, spent several weeks there. Few people in Russia know what all America and the rest of the out- side world are saying about them, and those few are located in the large cities. "The youth of Russia, espe- cially, know nothing but Russia." They have grown up with the pres- ent system and can imagine nothing else. The older generation jumped on the band-wagon, as it were, and are hanging on without conviction. All the construction work is being done by the young men of twenty- live years of age. Education there is, for and by the young- people. Organizations similar to the American Boy and Girl Scouts carry on a course of training parallel to that of the schools. The children are divided into groups roughly clas- sified by age, and one passes from one rank to the next by means of examinations. The highest rank is that of the Communist party. Every one learns by himself to be. ame to pass on to the next rank, and then is "a tremendous urge to master everything possible.'.' This sort of community existence takes the place of family life, which has been com- pletely broken up. The higher up in rank a man rises, the more responsi- bility he is given, and the more se- vere are the penalties inflicted if he does wrong. Students are given free tickets to the theatre, to the movies and to art galleries, all of which are considered an important part of their education. The pictures shown at the movies ary not propaganda films, but treat the problems of the day in an exciting, realistic" way. "Everything in Rus- sia is on demand, they want to get ahead) although their only reward lies in public opinion, in rising in the estimation of their fellows." Moreover, they are not trying to sell their idea to other nations, but are merely trying to work out a satis- factory solution of their problem. Their spirit may easily lead the way to progress, even if their present form of communism is unsuccessful. "In Russia, as in Palestine, some- thing is happening." In Persia Mr. Warburg and Pro- fessor Pope encountered many and varied difficulties in travelling. Their car was in poor condition, and did not make motoring very pleasant through this high but arid country. Trees are extremely rare in Persia, as are rocks; there being only low bushes and endless expanses of sand. The topography of the country seems to consist of a series of mountain ranges, which slope gently downward toward rivers, the undulating slope of the water-shed extending often fifty miles. The people are absolutely pov- (Contlnued on Page Five) (Especially Contributed by Miss Enid Glen) Many people on the campus are agreed that the production of a medi- eval play at least once every year, at Christmas or at Easter, should become a Bryn Mawr tradition; the performance of the Second Shep- herd's Play at Christmas three or four years ago set a fine precedent, and the Chester Deluge given on the Green on Sunday was almost as great a success. It is the kind of play the students do best�they fall easily and completely into the spirit of it; they reproduce excellently its mixture of reverence and'boisterous- ness; and it was clear from yester- day's performance what scope it gives for ingenuity not only in setting and in costume, but also in the fine points of production. Miss Barber and Miss Eckstein de- serve high praise. Artistic perception and care and a great deal of solid hard work produced the easy and sat- isfying effects of the grouping, the colors and the designs of the cos- tumes. The choice of cast, too, was very good. God spoke with a mighty and clearly-heard voice, with proper dignity, at the end with pleasing benevolence. His two attendants, whom he consulted at times, not too obviously, looked properly angelic against the clear sky. Noah's part is not an easy one; on him depends the sustaining of the reverence in the play- Miss Stone's sense of humor threatened near the beginning to overcome her, but throughout the rest of the play-she acted admir- ably, with the proper patriarchal be- nevolence, especially good in her re- ception of the animals as they were brought in to the Ark, in the sending off of the dove and raven, and in her ushering about of the family. Noah's wife, too, had the right spirit, as she had the right shape�from her daring leap from the Ark scaffold to her struggles oh her return to it (Continued on Page Three) Faculty Show A Faculty Show will be giv- en, May 10, for the benefit of an; entrance scholarship be- ing raised by the Faculty in honor of Professor Leuba. Mrs. Pearl Buck Grants News Special Interview "I have^ lived in China most of my life and have known more Chinese than people of my own race," said Mrs. Pearl S. Buck, in explaining her unequalled knowledge of Chinese psychology and life, x "My best friends, and most of my friends, are Chinese; the houses I have lived in have been Chinese homes. During my childhood, my father was a mission- ary in the interior of China, and there I grew up and learned the lan- guage as well as my own." Mrs. Buck then went on to talk of her plans and projected publications. The trilogy of which The Good Earth and Sons are the first two books will soon be completed by a third. The Good Earth was the background for the trilogy; Sons told the tale of the Warlord, who has been an integral part of Chinese history, as the dic- tator-general has been in western civ- ilization; the last book, which is still nameless, will be concerned with Modern China, the Young China of the last fifty years. Before this comes out, another book, not connect- ed with the trilogy in any way, will be published under the title of Tin Mother. For the last five or six years. Mrs. Buck has been working on the trans- lation of a Chinese novel, called Skui Hu, which was written five hundred years ago.

When you're visiting Chicago, there is really only one thing you absolutely need to do. You have to go out for
Cheese, Wine and Swine
This is the tag line for the restaurant
The Purple Pig
, which specializes in everything pork. And since I only had one opportunity to eat there, I decided to make a pig of myself. My very cool editor from
Gatehouse Media
joined me for lunch and we got the Pig Platter (a selection of salami and cured porks) with a plate of artisan cheeses, bread and jam. I have not pigged out on such amazing meat and cheese since the time I was in Italy. �It was fabulous.
Lunch at The Purple Pig was a great way to downshift after appearing on
Good Day Chicago
that morning. �I had a great time chatting with
Anna Davlantes
about being Lost in Suburbia and she commiserated about how tough it is to get your cool back after you become a mom (although she admits she never got stopped by a cop while driving in her bathrobe).
After the interview, we demonstrated how incredibly inept we both are at the art of taking "selfies." �Finally got a good pic, but not without some help from the camera crew.
The food fest continued that night at a restaurant called
, which specializes in Asian Fusion cuisine. We had some amazing sushi rolls which I neglected to take pictures of because I ate them too quickly. �I will tell you though that the one I had featured salmon, mango and red pepper flakes and it was crazy good. �The food was great, but the best part was having a couple of hours to hang out with friends I only get to see once or twice a year!
Sushi at Niu
Needless to say, a trip to Chicago is not complete without some deep dish pizza. �As a Jersey girl, I prefer my pizza thin and crispy. But when in Chicago, you gotta do like the Chicagoans do so we went to
and I got a stuffed Super Veggie pie, which was incredible.
The Deep Dish Pizza at Giordanos
A couple of other places worth mentioning were
, for the best breakfast/brunch in Chicago,
City Winery
for great flatbreads to go with their extensive wine list, and
Emilio's Tapa
s for, of course, awesome tapas.
Thanks to all my Chicago friends for the great restaurant recommendations and to those of you who joined me for some great food and conversation! (And yes, in case you were wondering, I did gain a couple of pounds while I was in Chicago, but it was worth it!)

While the product was what I was looking for style wise the fit is really poor, they don't have enough hold to them. Very loose - I'm constantly having to pull them up during the day. |

Really comfortable & great, versatile colour that goes with everything & makes a refreshing change from black. Comfortable over the bump style. The only thing I will say is size up if you are really tall. I'm 5'5 and a pre-pregnancy uk size 8. I got the size small & they fit just over my bump so not much leeway if I was taller... They'd probably ride down over the bump a bit- although I am carrying 'all out front'. It didn't stop me splashing out on a 2nd pair though. Pricey but worth it. |

Be Amazing! Energy Stick
Neat item that is fun for all ages
I got the energy stick for my 17-year old son for Christmas, and despite his status as a jaded teenager and the simplicity of the item, he really liked it. He even took it to a party with him. The item lights up when a circuit is connected, conducted through the body. So, if you hold each end of the item in one hand, it lights up. If several people hold hands and two are each holding one end of the energy stick, it lights up. He even put the cat's paws on it, and it still worked.
We've only had it a week, so I can't speak to how long it lasts, but it's been fun so far.

Latest developments in New York
On 27 September 2013, France organized the second high level ministerial meeting for the universal abolition of death penalty. This year, particular emphasis was placed on the role of regional organizations. The co-organization of this meeting by the States of four different continents (France, Benin, Costa Rica, Mongolia) with the participation of over 40 States and regional organizations, including the European union, the Organization of American States and the Council of Europe, reflected the universality of this fight.
During his speech, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Laurent Fabius, noted setbacks in 2012 with the resuming of executions in some countries. A strong mobilization should be maintained. He welcomed the pionneer's role of regional organizations in the progressive restriction of the implementation of the death penalty, in view of universal abolition. The action of regional organizations should be complementary of the action carried out by the United Nations, States and civil society. The sharing of experiences and the strengthening of cooperation between abolitionist States and the regional bodies should be reinforced to build on the successes achieved at the United Nations.
On 20 December 2012, the General Assembly adopted a resolution calling upon Members States that still maintain the death penalty to establish a moratorium on executions, with a view to abolishing it.
The text submitted by France and 90 States, representing the international community in its diversity, has received the support of a large majority of member States.
France welcomes this adoption as well as the growing support within the international community for its fight to abolish death penalty.
Latest developments in Geneva
On 22 March 2013, France, along with four other partners (Benin, Costa Rica, Moldova and Mongolia), presented to the Council of Human Rights a draft decision in order to create a panel on of death penalty for the March 2014 session of the Council.
With this decision, adopted with a large majority of the Members of the Council, an open debate will soon be held in Geneva, allowing countries to discuss challenges on the way to the universal abolition of the death penalty.
This is the first time that such a debate will be held in the Council, in a formal setting.
The death penalty is not justice, it is a failure of justice. The death penalty is not a useful instrument for fighting crime. The loss of human life it entails is irreparable, and no legal system is immune from miscarriages of justice. Resorting to the death penalty is not a mere instrument of criminal policy, it is a violation of human rights.
Just as, in every country, committed people exist whose names are associated with a cause, so too do states exist which are committed to universal struggles within the community of nations. Everyone knows how much the abolition of the death penalty owes to the determination of Victor Hugo, Albert Camus and Robert Badinter. Today, France occupies a special and recognized position among the main states committed to fighting the death penalty.
The abolition of the death penalty is a highly symbolic cause which reminds us of the universal nature of human rights. Support for abolition is making progress on all continents, independently of the type of political regime, level of development and cultural heritage.
Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has decided to further this struggle by actively engaging French diplomacy worldwide in a campaign to abolish the death penalty.
On the ground, each French embassy is mobilized:
— through general approaches or through efforts relating to individual cases, in order to reaffirm France's opposition to the death penalty, everywhere and under all circumstances.
— by organizing events, conferences, film screenings and debates wherever capital punishment is still implemented, in order to further the campaign and support the players committed to the cause of abolition.
France's efforts complement those of civil society. Our action everywhere is complementary to that of the foundations and NGOs involved in combating the death penalty. By setting as her target the global abolition of the death penalty – not just a moratorium on it – France is demonstrating high aspirations for human rights in her foreign policy.
For a United Nations resolution on a universal moratorium. Within the United Nations, France is promoting the adoption of a General Assembly resolution calling for the introduction of a global moratorium on the death penalty. At the Human Rights Council, France is seizing every opportunity to encourage all states which implement the death penalty to abolish it.
27 September, United Nations General Assembly LAUNCH OF AN INTERNATIONAL COALITION FOR ABOLITION
On France's initiative, there will be an event bringing together representatives of dozens of states and of civil society, in New York this Thursday on the sidelines of the ministerial week. The theme of the event will be "The death penalty: from moratorium to abolition".
Jointly organized with the Republic of Benin, which has just abolished it, and ahead of the General Assembly's examination of the resolution on establishing a moratorium, the meeting will be an opportunity to hold talks and lay the foundations for a global coalition of states in favour of abolition.
9 October, Quai d'Orsay WORLD DAY AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY: CURTAIN RAISER
On the eve of the World Day Against the Death Penalty, which is held on 10 October each year, France is bringing together a the Quai d'Orsay players and defenders in abolition from all over the world.
Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs, will launch the event at 6 p.m. alongside Robert Badinter, presidents and representatives of the large NGOs, intellectuals and lawyers.
At 6.30 p.m., workshops will be held in the rooms of the Quai d'Orsay. They will be an opportunity for discussions between French and international NGOs, diplomats working on the ground and condemned people's lawyers from several countries.
At 7.30 p.m., Olivier Py will read extracts of The Last Day of a Condemned Man, before the speech by Robert Badinter.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs will conclude the meetings at 7.50 p.m.
Our entire diplomatic network is actively engaged in the campaign.
At the end of the summer, during the Ambassadors' Conference in Paris, Laurent Fabius launched a comprehensive mobilization of our diplomatic, consular and cultural network.
Embassies situated in countries that have not yet abolished the death penalty have been called upon, depending on local opportunities and contexts, to issue statements, organize events and take steps vis-à-vis the authorities to make progress towards the goal of abolition.
Dozens of initiatives will be launched this year, particularly around the World Day Against the Death Penalty on 10 October. Examples of this unprecedented mobilization will be presented at the Quai d'Orsay during the meetings of 9 October: in Minsk, Nouakchott, Rangoon, Havana and Tokyo, but also at the United Nations in Geneva, where the Human Rights Council meets, our embassies are preparing events and deploying the full range of our influence and advocacy tools to spark debate and reflexion and emphasize the need for abolition.
The fight against the death penalty is a long-term struggle in which tangible progress is made every year in all the world's regions. A downward trend has been noted in the number of death sentences and executions worldwide. In the past 20 years, more than 50 states have outlawed the death penalty.
In 1981, France became the 36th state to abandon this cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. In 2007, she ratified the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, aiming at the abolition of the death penalty. Adopted by the United Nations in 1989, the Protocol is the first instrument of global reach to assert that abolishing the death penalty helps promote human dignity and the progressive development of human rights. On 5 July 2012, the Republic of Benin abolished the death penalty by adhering to the Optional Protocol. More than 100 states worldwide have taken the decisive and irreversible step from the moratorium observed for the past several years to outlawing the death penalty.
Many states have been observing de facto moratoriums, sometimes for several decades. What obstacles prevent states moving from moratoriums to abolition? How can the international community help states abandon the death penalty in their judicial systems and thus strengthen the protection of human rights? What role is there for the United Nations, the pro-abolition states and civil society?
— A downward trend has been noted in the number of death sentences and executions worldwide. In the past 20 years, more than 50 states have outlawed the death penalty.
— To date, 97 states have abolished the death penalty for all crimes, eight have abolished it for ordinary crimes and 36 are observing moratoriums on executions – making a total of 141 states.
— However, the death penalty is still applied in 57 states and territories.
Since 2011, 23 states have carried out executions. While the number of countries carrying out executions is in decline, the latest report by Amnesty International gave a figure of 676 executions in 2011, as compared with 527 in 2010, which shows that the number of executions is increasing in the hard core of retentionist countries: basically Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq. Moreover, the real figure is hard to ascertain in the absence of official statistics in certain states, including China. As for the number of sentences, it has fallen from 2,024 in 2010 to 1,923 in 2011.
— Every year, new countries abolish the death penalty:
Mongolia ratified the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, aiming at the abolition of the death penalty, in January 2012.
Latvia abolished the death penalty for all crimes in January 2012.
Honduras and the Dominican Republic ratified the additional Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights to Abolish the Death Penalty in November 2011 and January 2012 respectively.
In the United States, Illinois and Connecticut became the 16th and 17th states to abolish capital punishment, in March 2011 and April 2012 respectively.
Despite the hopes raised by the Arab Spring, none of the 22 states in the region have abolished the death penalty. In 2011, at least 558 executions were recorded in eight countries (Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Yemen), including several hundred in Iran, 68 in Iraq and at least 82 in Saudi Arabia, a trend which has continued in 2012. No information is available on the use of the death penalty in Libya in 2011, but many reports cite extrajudicial executions by all the parties in the conflict. The other countries have observed de facto moratoriums for several years (Tunisia since 1991, Morocco and Algeria since 1993, Lebanon since 2004 and Jordan since 2006).
The states counted are not all members of the United Nations – among others, the Cook Islands, the Vatican and Niue – hence the total figure of more than 193.
2 Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Belarus, China, North Korea, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Gambia, Iraq, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, the Palestinian Authority, Singapore, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Taiwan, Vietnam and Yemen.
Mongolia abolished the death penalty in March 2012, thus joining Nepal, East Timor, the Philippines and Cambodia as abolitionist states in the region. Several states have observed de facto moratoriums for several years (the Maldives since 1952, Sri Lanka since 1976, Burma since 1988, Laos since 1989, South Korea since 1997, India since 2004). Pakistan has now had a moratorium in force since 2009.
In 2011, eight states carried out executions – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, North Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam – but 18 states issued death sentences. In the absence of official data, it is estimated that there are several thousand executions a year in China. On 29 March 2012, Japan broke a de facto moratorium observed for a year and a half, by hanging three condemned people. The country carried out more executions in August 2012.
A large majority of the American continent is abolitionist. In 2011 and to date, the United States has been the only country in the continent to carry out executions. However, positive results can be seen, with the abolition of the death penalty in Illinois and Connecticut and the introduction of a moratorium in Oregon.
In the rest of the continent, Belize, Cuba, Jamaica, Guatemala, Guyana, Surinam, Trinidad and Tobago and most of the English-speaking Caribbean islands have failed to abolish the death penalty. However, the Commonwealth countries observe a de facto moratorium, following the judgement of the Privy Council in the Pratt and Morgan case, whereby the implementation of the death penalty more than five years after the sentence constitutes cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights opposes the death penalty and frequently speaks out against executions in the United States.
Seventeen out of 48 states have outlawed the death penalty and a positive trend has been noted in recent years. In 2009, Togo and Burundi joined the abolitionist states. Benin abolished the death penalty in June 2012 and the Democratic Republic of Congo decided in March 2012 on an "irreversible moratorium" and "gradual abolition". Bucking this positive trend, Botswana and Gambia carried out executions in 2012.
The African Commission on Human and People's Rights called for the abolition of the death penalty at its 49th session in 2011.
Belarus remains the only state on the European continent not to have abolished capital punishment. Four people have been executed there since 2011, two of them in March 2012. Russia introduced a moratorium on executions in 1996.
In Europe, Protocols 6 and 13 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms also ban the death penalty in times of peace and war.
(March 2013)
10 October 2012 - Joint call for the abolition of the death penalty

Google Reader take 2: Not bad at all
The first version of Google's RSS reader, which debuted in October 2005, was so light on features that it was more of a curiosity than a serious application. Now the wizards in white coats at Google Labs have cooked up a new version. The almost completely reworked Google Reader includes a slew of new features and improvements that make the Web-based application a viable alternative to the existing desktop and online RSS readers.
The new version features a redesigned interface, which now looks and acts like a "real" RSS reader. You can tag feeds and star individual articles, so you can manage your subscriptions in a manner similar to Gmail. However, the use of the tag feature can be slightly confusing for newcomers.

5 Ice Cream GirlsBobbieOldfield | 10/08/2010 | See all BobbieOldfield's reviews (1)Started reading this book on my flight on holiday, really couldnt put it down although I was away! Very addictive and the storyline is just incredible!Really recommend this!
1 surprised at the good reviews...beckybalboa | 22/09/2010 | See all beckybalboa's reviews (1)i am really surprised this book has so many good reviews... the characters were, at most, mildly likeable, and i was hoping for a lot more than it gave. the ending, as most of the story, was very predictable very early on. had it not been for the fact that i have to finish what i start i would have taken this to the charity shop a quarter of the way through.
5 The Ice Cream GirlsJacqui2010 | 16/08/2010 | See all Jacqui2010's reviews (1)Started reading this a month ago but could not get into it, picked it up again and yesterday and could not put it down. It is really good read for holiday or lazying in the garden on a summer day. Excellent book.
1 weak bookkthackers | 18/11/2010 | See all kthackers's reviews (1)TOTALLY agree with beckybalboa, i found this book pretty much terrible. the characters and plot seem completely weak, with no real exploration or discriptions, and the plot feels like things were just thrown in to tie ends together. really not impressed at all. im so suprised it has so many good reviews?! i was expecting something as good as the timetravellers wife for example from the rave reviews on here! but sadly, it was rubbish.
5 great bookLThom79 | 01/07/2011 | See all LThom79's reviews (2)Dorothy Koomsons books get better and better as she goes on have read them all, this being my 2nd favourite as her latest book is even better, Great story had me gripped from start !

I have been tring to find white round plates for about a month and I can't find them anywhere. I've been to 2 BBB, 3 Crate&Barrels, William Sonoma and Macy's. None of them have the flat round plates. I am looking for plates like the ones in the video at 0:40 in the video . Anyone know of sites or stores that would sell plates like those, looking for 13".
Thanks John I've always liked those plates. The only thing is that it's $45 for 2 plates and the Mugnaini are $60 for 6. I wish they were cheaper than I would definitely buy them.
Do they come in 18" size, like for an 18" New York style pizza? In Texas, where everything is big, that is considered a "personal" size . Peter
These are the ones that I bought. They are 31 cm.http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/20131651Matt
Matt, I couldn't tell from the picture, but these are flat in the middle or is there a slight dip?Thanks for posting, I need plates next. Chau
Check out restaurant supply stores online. I got 12" plates from wasserstrom. 6 for about 42 bucks. They also have 13" but are about 68 bucks for 6.
ouch! those are the same ones mugnaini sells.
