NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Westminster College's Language in Motion (LIM) program reached more than 1,300 area students during its seventh year.
Language in Motion is an innovative outreach program that gives study-abroad returnees, international students, and upper-level language students the opportunity to create language and cultural activities for presentation in K-12 language, social studies, and other classes where culture can be studied.
This year's team of 16 Westminster students, led by Milagros Swerdlow, Spanish lecturer and coordinator of Language in Motion, gave 85 presentations at area schools this spring and hosted 115 high school language students for Intercultural Day, which focused on the issue of immigration around the globe.
"Critical awareness of global issues is increasingly important in our world. That starts with a basic understanding of other cultures, so it is important for high school, middle school, and elementary teachers to have their students exposed to innovative lessons on international subjects," Swerdlow said.
In areas schools, LIM team members gave presentations on the following topics: yoga and tea in India; graffiti art in Chile; climbing seven summits of the world; connecting with communities in the Dominican Republic; South Africa and freedom; exploring France through animal sounds and music; bullfighting in Spain; Andalucía; Costa Rican culture; Scottish culture; Irish culture; Peruvian culture; Brazilian literature and dance; and the Mayan society today.
"My students had wonderful opportunities to explore and discover a variety of cultures through the Language in Motion program. Sharing the similarities and differences among cultures provided my students with a better understanding of the world in which they live," said Dawn Marcantino, first grade teacher at New Wilmington Elementary School.
Westminster's Language in Motion program is sponsored by Westminster's Department of Modern Languages, Drinko Center for Experiential Learning, and the Heritage Chair of Humanities.

The slices rival that of those made on a nice mandoline ( something I have wanted for years )
The Japanese mandolines are rather inexpensive compared to the french variety. A French one is $100+, but the Japanese is around 30. I have used both professionally, and the Japanese is superior. Easier to use, easier to clean, lighter, fits over a bowl or work surface easier, blades are sharper (after repeated use) and less expensive to replace. But that is just in my opinion.
Hi there SemperFi,do you happen to have a link to any Japanese mandoline ?I'd be interested in seeing how it differs in shape etc than the French mandoline.( My wife bought one about 2 weeks ago from Wal-Mart, and it's a piece of junk, however it was only $19.99 ( about $15 American ) made by a company called "StarFrit " )It did not cut veggies very thinly either ( there was no way to even adjust it )Thanks in advance for any info.

V A^OL. XXV, No. 11 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1939 BR^or5yrM0Ah^RRcUoSLLEEEQE?T�39 PRICE 10 CENTS Yale Puppets Satirize News, Dictatorships Sophisticated Marionettes Mimic Martha Graham / And Toscanini BABY PANDA SINGS BEHIND CAGE BARS Goodhart, January IS.�Better, if not bigger, than ever, the Yale Pup- pets were presented in a: new revue -entitled It's a Small World, by Harry Burnett,. Forman Brown and Richard Brandon. Contrary to the usual mar-: ionette convention^ the manipulators were not hidden, and it was possible to watch the actual movements of their hands. The review itself was composed partly of new pieces and partly of such old favorites as The Haydn Trio, The March of Rhyme, the balancing clowns, Toto and Floto, and the two lady pianists, Miss Knipp and Miss, Tuckh. Perhaps the performance stales on repetition or perhaps a real development and improvement had' taken place; but the new scenes cer- tainly seemed greatly superior to the old. < Most of these were of a��trongly * liberal and anti-fascist nature. One showed John L. Lewis as an angel en- gaged in organizing heaven and horri- fied to find that the heavenly host did not work in shifts. He was also anxious to unionize hell, but found it too difficult because, as his trio of dwarf union members put it, to the tune of Heigh-ho: "The process wouldn't jell, They're" much too keen on William Green's A. F. of L." Another scene, the single serious item on the program, showed a crip- pled soldier beside a pile of crosses singing a plea for peace. It was very effective, but too heavy for such a fantastic and trivial setting. Equal- ly anti-fascist, but more suitable were the satires on the Modern Mikado and the Sister Act, which depicted Hitler and Mussolini in flowered skirts per- forming vaudevilre waltzes and sing- ing their admiration for each other. The rest of the new numbers were largely devoted to the arts.

Undergradu- ates not content with merely skiing on the hill by Rhoads, have, devised more exciting pastimes. Denbigh and the German House combined to erect a fort which, decorated with a red flag, seems to be awaiting a cnallenge. Merion, bent on really enjoying the winter weather, hired a horse -and sleigh on Saturday night. The ride was complete with sleigh bells, hay to sit on and lusty voices to sing. In fact, the music had to cease for a while in order to let the horses re- cover from its effects. Three very athletic and energetic people enjoyed jumping off and running behind the sleigh until one almost got left be- hind when she mistook a down grade for an up grade. On Sunday night the Merion sopho- mores challenged the Merion juniors to a snowball fight, a challenge which was first accepted but later rejected because of the lure of social engage- ments. The disappointed sophomores were forced to hurl their snowballs at the brightly-lighted windows. Myra Hess Concert To Benefit Workshop New York Audience Applauds Famous English Pianist Myra Hess, the brilliant English pianist, will give a recital "here on February seventh for the benefit of the Theatre Workshop. She recently played, in New York and her perform- ance was considered exceptionally good. Her program was varied, con- sisting of the Bach D Minor tocata, the Schubert B flat sonata, and the Beethoven Pathttique. With truly unusual artistic re- sources, she brought out the full greatness of each work. The Bach's contrapuntal lines and arabesques were, to quote the Tribune, "traced with rare clarity and yet with a free- dom and spontaneity that belied the deliberative art that had gone into its structure," and the Beethoven was played "with equal artistfc powers." But her greatest achievement was the Schubert sonata where the per- former must "supply dramatic value where there is little or none by in- tensifying the unique substance and color of each theme and figure, by endowing the fullest meaning to.each element of harmony and rhythm." Myra Hess appeared in Washington this fall and was equally applauded there. Besides this American trip she has conducted very successfully tours through England, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Canada. Vocational Conference Helen Hill Miller, '21, Senior Agricultural -Writer in the United States Department of Agriculture, will speak on Gov- ernment Service on Monday, February 13, at 8 p. m., in the Common Room.

Lima Meeting Reaches Accord Without Strife Fenwick Sees 'Continental Defense' as Advance In Cooperation Goodhart Hall, January 12.�Pre- facing his lecture with the statement that "the conference was a whirlwind affair," Charles G. Fenwick gaw his impressions of the significance of the recent meeting at Lima, to which he was a delegate. The Declaration of Lima, said Mr. Fenwick, "is a great, fundamental charter of American liberties." Although a large part of the press in this country has been critical of, or indifferent to, the achievements of the conference, Mr. Fenwick bejieves this attitude is based on a misreading of the true purposes of the meeting. Taking as its base the resolutions passed at Buenos Aires in 1936, the delegates proceeded slowly but sys- tematically, and finally reached a far broader declaration. Mr. Fenwick stressed the point that the particular value of the whole lies in the fact that it was accomplished after exhaustive and free discussion. No smouldering resentments, which could hinder future negotiations, have Continued on Pago Two RONNY JOHANSSON DEMONSTRATES DANCE Gymnasium, January 15. � Every dance form requires a different tech- nique, said Ronny Johansson, in her lectu�* demonstration djf exercises and dance patterns. But for the mastery of all techniques a flexible >ody is essential. The exercises Miss Johansson demonstrated were designed to illus- trate proper breathing, bodily control, and freedom of movement, and were chosen so that any person could do them. The dance sketches were notable more for their consciousness of design in space than for their execution. Miss Johansson originally started in ballet, but left it when she found 'its technique too narrow and stylized for the expression of the variety of dance types she wished to do. Her teachers seemed to give her nothing, so she began to"' develop her own" interpretations and style of movement. The fundamentals of proper dance movement, Miss Johansson believes, proper fantiMBft freedom, of arm and leg swing, and controlled relaxa- tion and contraction of muscles. These principles, besides being demonstrated in the exercises, were illustrated in short composition studies, which were the most charming part of the pro- gram. In them were revealed clever- ness, some.., wit, and considerable originality. Miss Johansson's very mobile, expressive face was as great a contributor to this part of her performance as was her dancing, which lacked the superb control one is accustomed to seeing in professional dancers. A. L. A. t are I. R. C. Hears Reports � On Recent Meeting .' Seven Delegates to , be Chosen To Represent Rouman'ta At Model League Common Room, January 12.�The International Relations Clubs Con- ference, held at Swa'rthmore last week, was the subject of a meeting of the Bryn Mawr I. R. C. Four members, who had attended, spoke on the discussions of the committees on American Foreign Policy, the Far Eastern Crisis, the*Gcrwuin Refugee Problem and Europe.and International Security, and criticized lack of in- formation in certain cases. Plans.for the remainder of the year were outlined with reference to the model league and a current events contest on the radio. President Laura Estabrook an- nounced that in applying for a country to represent at the Model League of Nations in April, they had been fortunate in receiving, in spite of a late application, their first choice, Roumania. The limitation of the size of this country in no way detracts from its interest. Haverford won the prize last year in representing Finland, which was more remote from the centers of world interest than is Roumania, particularly in the light of the Drang Nach Osten. Volunteers for the seven delegates to attend the Model League and the three to compete with Princeton on the radio should giwe. their names to Laura Estabrook before Midyears. A current events contest over the radio between three Bryn Mawr and three Princeton delegates is scheduled for February 12. Last year Bryn Mawr defeated Swarthmore in a similar contest. At the conference of the Interna- tional Relations Clubs were 200 dele- gates from places as distant as In- diana State University. The world total of these clubs, backed by the Carnegie Foundation, is 1100. The Bryn Mawr delegates reported the discussions of the three sessions. Mary Brown, '42, criticized the committee on American Foreign Pol- icy as uncertain of what it was dis- cussing. The chief issue was isolation Continued on Paico Three Storrs Bares Crucial State of Palestine Fenwick Disparages Censorship Rumors Emphasizes Relation of Lima Resolutions to European Peace .^Parleys "I saw no sign on the part of the Peruvian government to censor news dispatches sent out by our delegation," said Mr. Charles G. Fenwick in an nterview to the News following his lecture on the Lima Conference. Re- ports that papers of delegates had been. searched are also, he believes, greatly exaggerated. Whether pri- vate newspaper correspondents had encountered censorship or not Mr. Fenwick was unable to say. Returning to a subject which he had banned to reporters at his lec- ture, Mr. Fenwick said, "Throughout the conference, my thoughts were on Europe�on how to formulate agree- ments at Lima which might offer a basis for European settlements." Sev- eral resolutions were purposely phrased in universal terms, such as* all nations," and "for world order."

Dr. Lange is Professor of Bacteriology and Immunology at the Women'* Medical College of Pennsjrlva- nia. Jewish and Arab Opinions Outlined With Reasons For Enmity BRITISH PROBLEM^ IS RECONCILIATION Goodhart, January 16.�In his leq- ture on Palestine, Sir Ronald Storrs reviewed the causes of dissension be- tween Jews and Arabs in that coun- try. Because of .the high official po- sitions that he has held in Egypt, Pal- estine, and Cyprus from the first years of the war to the early 1930s, his com- prehension of near eastern peoples obtained by long contact with them, and his speaking knowledge of both Hebrew and Arabic, it would have been hard to find a better informed speaker on the subject than Sir Ronald. * From the beginning he admitted that his personal view was pro-semitic in regard to the problem of Palestine. He outlined the history, of the Zionist movement from its birth in the brain of the Austrian-Jewish journalist, Herzal to the present-day organization financed by Jews all over the world. British cooperation, enlisted by war services of Weizmann, a Manchester chemist, was clinched by the "Bal- four/ Declaration" in which Great Britain promised to do all in her power to help the Jews in Palestine, provided that their establishment did nothing to impair the religious and civil rights of the non-semitic popula- tion. Jewish immigration into that lit- tle country of 10,000 square miles area has reached enormous proportions. Finally Sir Ronald referred very fa^ vorably to the hard work that the Jews have done toward cultivation of the land in a productive modern man- ner, and the establishment of modern qxport centers at Jaffa and Tel Aviv. On the other hand he described the bitter disillusionment of the Arabs who had hoped that when rkf of the Turks, the British would develop Pal- estine for the Arabs as they had de- veloped Egypt for the Egyptians. So far as they could see the Jews had no more right to Palestine than the Continued on Paae four Psychologists Test ' Primitive Mentality Music Room, January 10.�The work which has been carried on in the study of African primitive groups, hitherto limited, is now, according to Dr. Sherman Oberly, professor of psychology at the University of Penn- sylvania, being explored much more extensively. � Dr. Oberly lectured on the results of his expedition into the African bush country of Liberia; movies were shown, illustrating the life of the na- tives he encountered in that almost impenetrable country and the type of work they did. He explained the methods used to test psychologically the mentality of the people. Their attention had first to be attracted and their fear of con- tact with strangers overcome. This was. accomplished Jjy offering a cake of soap to everyone who w*ou!d volun- teer to be tested. Five hundred and fifty cases were thus obtained before_ the end of the trip. Intelligence tests were;�on the whole, a complete ^failure. The reason for this is not their lack of mentality but their lack of understanding and knowledge. Consequently the only type of test which could be effected was that which involved numbers and number combinations. Age was not taken into account except that the sub- jects were put into rough categories of childhood, maturity, and old age. There is so little on which to base a psychological test of an uncivilised people that it is practically impossible Continued on Pmc* Paor ten /

Working as part of a designing duo is often proof that two heads are better than one.
Creative teams, made up of both high-profile personalities and up-and-coming designers, said there are certainly benefits to having a close partner. That is, if the co-designers in question are able to negotiate the distribution of duties without stepping on each other's toes.
"It can be a difficult industry, but one of the biggest advantages of having a partner in business is you are able to be in two places at once," said Mark Badgley of luxury label Badgley Mischka. "James [Mischka] could go off and travel for [production] while I stay home and work on the collection. We share a single vision and there is trust, which is a tremendous asset."
Other design teams interviewed by Footwear News — including sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; college friends Natalia Barbieri and Jennifer Portman of Bionda Castana; partners Steven Cox and Daniel Silver of Duckie Brown; and brothers Shane and Shawn Ward — echoed similar praises about collaborating, but they acknowledged that it takes a special skill to make the arrangement work.
"Ashley and I respect each other's opinion. We hear each other out and ultimately come to the decision that's right for our business," said Mary-Kate Olsen of Elizabeth & James. "If we disagree, [the design] just doesn't happen."
For Barbieri and Portman, who met during college in London and launched Bionda Castana in 2007, working with a partner adds a new perspective. Barbieri said she wouldn't have that while designing alone, and it keeps her grounded.
"Sometimes you get caught up in your own head and your own world. You get this fantasy idea and it doesn't make sense whatsoever," she said. "It's nice to have that banter and to brainstorm and have someone who also has a structure."
Working in tandem also can help ease self-doubt.
"You can second-guess yourself, [but] when you have a partner who shares that vision, you can challenge each other and make the process stronger," said Badgley, who started his line with Mischka in 1988.
Added Mischka: "We second-guess ourselves all the time, but together we reconfirm what's right and come to a resolution very quickly."
At contemporary label Madison Harding, designers Barri Budin and Hilary Rosenman, who met while attending Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. and launched their label in spring '07, said that having two points of view ultimately helps the brand reach more consumers with a wider range of styles. "Barri wears 4-inch heels all day. I can't do that. I have to wear boots to be comfortable," Rosenman said. "Barri might be geared toward the pumps from our line, while I like the cowboy boot. It provides a well-rounded collection."
For some designers, it works best to clearly divide the daily duties and day-to-day operations.
Danielle and Jodie Snyder, the sisters behind accessories label Dannijo, which launched in 2008, have split the business responsibilities.
"I tend to do more of the creative and Jodi handles more of the business side, but we have fun designing together," said Danielle Snyder. "It's a happy and healthy marriage because we are still really involved in what each other is doing."
The Wards, who started their namesake line in 2004 before partnering last year with Pentland Group Plc's Kangaroos brand to create Roos–Shane & Shawn, said the decision on how to best operate their business was an easy one. Shane, an art school alum, spearheads the design, while Shawn, who studied engineering, tackles the finances.
"Our training is in different fields, so there is never a lack of ideas," said Shane Ward. "It's always great to have a partner in crime and a support system."
There are other, more personal, factors that can work toward a successful brand model.
At Duckie Brown, it's about being vocal. Silver and Cox founded their label in 2001, and in 2009 teamed up with the Florsheim label to launch Florsheim by Duckie Brown. "We're not afraid to keep asking what we want from one another, whether it's personal or a work thing," said Silver.
But Mischka pointed out that partners have to leave their attitudes at the door. "We have very little egos when it comes to each other, and that's very important," he said.
Ashley Olsen, however, said that challenging each other is what gives their brand its edge. "When we don't see eye to eye, we challenge each other [to come to an agreement]. 'How does this fit into the story we're telling? Why this material? Are we designing for the Elizabeth girl or the James girl?'" she said. "If we don't come together on an idea, big or small, we drop it."
Bally co-creative directors Michael Herz
and Graeme Fidler began working together in 2003 when they joined Aquascutum, and then ventured out as a team in April 2010. And after almost 10 years in the same office space, they have perfected the work-life balance.
"We both have separate, full lives away from work, and that's been an important factor for each of us as it helps provide balance and a perspective away from fashion," said Herz.
When two heads share the design process, it can be difficult to maintain the brand's focus, but successful duos said they work hard to keep a consistent aesthetic.
At Bally, the label retains a singular vision by always connecting back to its Swiss heritage. "We took time at the start to really understand Bally, what the brand is about and what it wants to be," said Herz. "That helped ground us in Bally's DNA, which in turn, keeps your focus aligned with brand values."

URI associations for Windows Phone
This article explains how to associate your application with an URI scheme in order to launch it when interaction with such URI is detected.
- URI associations for Windows Phone
- URI Association Schemes List (known schemes)
- Designing URI scheme handlers
- URI schemes for launching built-in apps for Windows Phone 8
- Reserved URI scheme names
- Windows Phone DevCenter URI Association Sample
Windows Phone 8
Windows Phone 8 introduces the possibility for your app to register to a predefined kind of URI scheme. This will allow you to launch your application from various sources and with various optional parameters. The URI will have to be formatted as follows:
<Custom Protocol Name>:<The landing page>?[First parameter name]=[First parameter value]&[Second parameter name]=[Second parameter value]
For example:
Note that its not mandatory to put the landing page after the semi colon, but it is a good practice. You can use an ID like this:
How to register for an URI association
To register an URI scheme for your app you will have to manually edit the app manifest. In the Solution Explorer open the Properties folder, right click on the WMAppManifest.xml file and select View Code. Scroll down to the end of the Tokens element and after it add an Extensions element with a Protocol children like this:
<App ... >
<Protocol Name="myappuri" NavUriFragment="encodedLaunchUri=%s" TaskID="_default" />
Just replace myappuri value with the URI you want to use. The other parameters are mandatory and must stay like this.
What URI scheme should I use?
To ensure you don't accidentally re-use a URI reserved by the operating system or default applications or a URI registered to another third party app, we recommend you include your company and app name in your URI as shown (see Designing URI scheme handlers for more detail):
Tip: Don't forget to document your app URI scheme and include it in our URI Association Schemes List.
Developers can also create and use protocols that are intended for general "classes" of apps. For example, developers of Calendar apps might agree a common protocol, and allow end-users to determine what app they choose to download or use as the handler. Note that there is nothing to stop developers using any protocol that isn't reserved for the default apps/operating system.
How to detect that your user launched the app from the URI association
You will have to implement a custom UriMapper that will parse the Uri at the launch of your application and try to detect the source. Following the sample provided above, the UriMapper would look like this in our case:
class AssociationUriMapper : UriMapperBase
private string tempUri;
public override Uri MapUri(Uri uri)
tempUri = System.Net.HttpUtility.UrlDecode(uri.ToString());
// URI association launch for my app detected
if (tempUri.Contains("myappuri:MainPage?Category="))
// Get the category (after "Category=").
int categoryIndex = tempUri.IndexOf("Category=") + 9;
string category = tempUri.Substring(categoryIndex);
// Redirect to the MainPage.xaml with the proper category to be displayed
return new Uri("/MainPage.xaml?Category=" + category, UriKind.Relative);
// Otherwise perform normal launch.
return uri;
One more step to ensure that your application will use your new UriMapper, go to App.xamls.cs file in the InitializePhoneApplication() method and add this line:
RootFrame.UriMapper = new AssociationUriMapper();
Your app will now try to detect if it was launched from the normal way or from the URI association, and in this case it will parse the parameters provided and redirect to the proper page.
How to retrieve the parameters once you have been redirected
Like for any page navigation in Windows Phone you'll have to check the QueryString in NavigationContext once you've reached your target page to retrieve your parameters:
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
if (NavigationContext.QueryString.ContainsKey("Category"))
Category = int.Parse(NavigationContext.QueryString["Category"]);
What will and will not work
What will trigger your URI association and launch your app:
- Get the URI from NFC tag.
- Get the URI by mail.
- Click on a HTML link containing the URI.
- Webpage redirection with a custom protocol.
- Get the URI from NFC device sharing an URI (e.g. PublishUriMessage(Uri) from ProximityDevice).
What will NOT trigger your URI association and launch your app
- Enter directly the URI in the Web Browser.
- Scan a QR code from Bing search.
What MAY trigger your URI association and launch your app
- Get the URI by SMS. It seems to depend on the uri your registered and could be connected to its length
What if many applications registered the same name
In this case the user will be prompted to select which application he want to launch
Inter-app communication
URI associations can also be used to provide a simple form of inter-app communication. Two apps that register URI associations could send each other messages in their respective URI association parameters (typically apps use URI parameters to choose what page or information to display, but their usage is completely app dependent and could be used for messaging). The code example shows how this can be done with two apps sending text and displaying it in each other's UI. Note that the launching process will request to install the other app is installed if it has not been.
For this to work correctly it is necessary that communicating apps share a common protocol. A more generalised approach might be to define a "standard" protocol for messaging, or for querying other apps about what messaging protocols they support (ie send them a message with "tell me your protocols" and parse the response"). This would allow arbitrary communications with apps that support a set of protocols.
Document your custom URI protocol
Your application can now be started by, and can receive data from, other applications. But in order for this to work, you must document your protocol. You add the scheme to the URI Association Schemes List to advertise it to other developers.

Brad Tollefson's curator insight,
February 20, 6:27 PM
Overall, people watch independent web series like Pretty, Brothers, and Be Here Nowish because, simply put, they're good. Their success lies in the creators having a solid product from the beginning… but not nearly the kind of "solid," ratings-guaranteed product that TV networks will sink their money into. Rather, independent web series need to target independent people. These ones all expertly navigated the line between wide appeal and niche audiences, gaining enthusiastic viewers and reviewers. If you want to do the same with your indie series, what you need is first some cash, then a solid pilot episode, an attractive web page, a social media presence, and a crowdfunding link. From there, people will tell you whether you're good enough to grow or not.

Skin cancer is the number one cancer diagnosis in the United States - more common than all breast, prostate, and lung cancers combined. The majority of cases are caused by sun damage to skin cells, and therefore are largely preventable. Every year in July we recognize UV Safety month to remind people of the importance of sun safety. These facts will give you a better understanding of the disease.
Mar 6, 2015 - If they had cancer, most Australians would want to know about an expensive anticancer drug, and many would be prepared to pay for it even if they could not afford to, according to a study published online Sept. 28 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

After naming Sylvia Day's Bared to You a 2012 Best Book of the Year in Romance and devouring Reflected in You, we've been anxiously awaiting the release of the third book in Day's scorching Crossfire series, Entwined with You. To whet our appetites and make waiting for the book's arrival a little easier, Amazon Romance expert Alyssa Morris spoke with Day about what's next for Gideon and Eva, her upcoming collaboration with Harlequin and Cosmopolitan, her all-time favorite romance novels, and much more.
Alyssa Morris: Now that you've had a bit of time to absorb the success of Bared to You, does it feel real? Or are you still surprised?
Sylvia Day: I'm still surprised! I'm glad I'm a veteran and that I've been publishing for close to 10 years, so I had some experience under my belt as far as dealing with it. But on the other hand, there's no way to anticipate writing something that becomes a global phenomenon, you know. I don't know about other writers--I didn't even dream about anything like that. I always figured that it just happened to the Stephenie Meyers and J.K. Rowlings of the world. So, yeah, I don't think I'll ever get over being surprised that I had a series that struck such a chord.
AM: It just hit such a moment in our culture, where all of a sudden this is what everyone wants to be reading. It's an interesting confluence.
SD: Right. We always talk about that, about right book, right time. Random House released Fifty Shades on the same day I self-published Bared to You, so talk about the right timing. Just… wow!
AM: Do you have a favorite moment in the Crossfire series so far?
SD: You know, I really loved the weekend that Gideon and Eva spent in the Outer Banks. These poor guys. When they're alone, they're fine. Life is perfect when they're alone. Unfortunately, they don't get a lot of time alone. [Laughs] So I just love that. I love seeing them together away from all of the distractions and intrusions and everything else that's going wrong in their lives.
I can't talk too much about Entwined with You because it's not out yet. And that's so hard, because I so want to talk tabout it! But there's more alone time with Gideon and Eva as we move forward in the series and they grow stronger, so I'm really enjoying that as a writer.

Gluten content can almost always be determined from the label, and the most accurate information can be found by checking the ingredient list on our packages.For labeling purposes, Kraft includes wheat, barley, rye and oats as sources of gluten. Our packages identify gluten by listing these common sources. Other grains that contain gluten are triticale, spelt, kamut, mir and farina, and if these grains are included in our products, they will also be labeled.
However you should know that we do not guarantee that our products are gluten-free because we sometimes purchase flavoring, color or spice ingredients from suppliers who do not list every possible source of gluten beyond what is required by law.
If you have a concern about possible trace amounts of gluten from sources other than wheat, which may be contained in flavoring, color or spice, you should avoid purchasing the product

Ingels reaches a dead end in a walk-through of his maze.
Credit: Matthew Carbone
The massive maze in Washington, D.C., is finally here. Denmark-based Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) designed "BIG Maze," a roughly 60-foot square of twists and turns, for the city's National Building Museum.
At the tallest point, the maze walls reach about 18 feet. But the walls slope in toward the center, allowing visitors to see more of the maze as they move through it.
In the middle, visitors are "rewarded with a complete overview of the maze," founding partner Bjarke Ingels said at a media preview Thursday. Getting out of the maze is much easier than getting in.

It precedes an upcoming BIG exhibition at the museum, which will include models suspended in air, framed by the arches of the building's second-floor balcony.
The maze is open through September 1.

Take a stroll through the Parque das Dunas or the Parque Ecológico de Genipabu and get to know the species that are in the composition of the fauna and flora of Natal. With a guide at your side, ask all questions that come to mind. Be a true environmentalist!
Nature and Natal are two words that do not live one without the other. In addition to the amount of beaches and dunes that we can loose count of, there are also extensivegreen areas. The Parque das Dunas is a green area protected by law, which covers more than a thousand acres within the urban area of Natal. It is so large that it can be seen from almost the entire south area of Natal. Its main entrance is made by the Bosque dos Namorados. Here you will find amusement parks for children, who will love to see some of the monkeys jumping in the trees. You'll learn a lot about the nature and formation of sand dunes, and be able to identify some of the 269 species that comprise the flora and fauna of that area and which are properly catalogued. You can also make short or long walks with the presence of a guide that will explain the life in that forest. And if you're a real fan of green spaces, be sure to visit the Dunes Ecological Park at Genipabu. It is the second largest urban park in Brazil and allows for the observation of diverse plant and animal species, unique to the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Woods). If you like small towns, go to Redinha, a fishing village, marked by tradition, handicrafts, the smell of the ocean, all to which join the flavours of freshly caught fish.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Redemption in mind: DeSmith looks to bounce back against Denver
Thursday, March 28, 2013
DURHAM — Even though the game took place four months ago, don't tell Casey DeSmith it lacks relevance to Friday night's rematch in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
"I hope they look back at that game in Denver and think they'll have an easy time because of the start I had," DeSmith said. "The first couple goals were kind of lucky bounces," said sophomore defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk. "They weren't his fault. But he always bounces back. He's a team-first guy. I think he was more concerned that we were down 3-0 rather than any individual stats." That performance was an aberration in a first half of the season that saw the sophomore from Rochester post three consecutive shutouts and four in five games. DeSmith allowed three goals on eight shots in the first match-up against the Pioneers, who were ranked second nationally at the time. "I don't think I have to remind him of that," said coach Dick Umile. "He's aware of it. I think he's anxious to prove he's as good a goalie as there is in the tournament."
Like the team as a whole, DeSmith has had an inconsistent second half. He was solid in the best-of-three quarterfinal series at Providence in the Hockey East playoffs.
UNH is ranked ninth nationally in team defense. |

Best time to take a vacation to Florida
Best Time to Go
Florida vacations are great anytime of the year. The weather is mild year-round, with a subtropical and tropical climate. Annual temperatures are between 65oF and 84oF. Florida is a popular tourist attraction for individuals seeking to travel away from cold temperatures, or to enjoy the hot climate in the summer. Travelers can find bargain deals on hotel accommodations between June and September. Winter season is a little more expensive for Florida visitors due the tourist peak season between December and April. Autumn is a season of cool weather, and a relaxed atmosphere. Anytime is a great time to visit Florida's amusement parks.
Insider tips for Florida travel
Disney World
Experience the various attractions at the famous Disney World theme park in Orlando.
Head to Sarasota to tour the Ringling Museum of Art and attend the Ringling International Arts Festival held in October.
Capital Grille
When it is time to sit down for a bite to eat, head over to the Capital Grille in Miami.
Busch Gardens
Those that are embarking on Florida travel with a family will enjoy the attractions at the Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa Bay.
Florida is well-known for its alligator population, and Gatorland in Orlando has crocodiles and alligators from all over the world.
Florida highlights
Think of the Panhandle as Florida's cousin from the Deep South; same family, different accent. Explore the area for traces of Southern roots, from plantation-style homes in Tallahassee to rustic seafood shacks in Apalachicola. As a family destination, it's easy on the budget thanks to a bevy of residential-style hotels designed for extended stays and pint-sized entertainment (read: lazy rivers and water umbrellas). Outside, revel in Mother Nature's freebies: state parks made for trekking and stretches of powdery sand to sink in.
Tampa Bay
Tampa's all-American appeal is obvious from mansion-studded and rollerblader-frequented Bayshore Boulevard and during rollicking fests such as Guavaween and the Gasparilla Pirate Parade. Amble the brick-lined, iron-wrought streets in historic Ybor City and think you're in New Orleans – until you're teased by the flamenco dancers and heaping plates of Cuban fare at the Columbian Restaurant. Beyond the "metro," frugal Florida travelers won't have to sacrifice outdoor time for fun. Tampa Bay residents practically live on the beach, from pristine Fort de Soto Park (a regular on Dr. Beach's best beaches list) to tidy Pass-A-Grille, a coast dazzled by the pink palace otherwise known as Loews Don CeSar Hotel.
Don't be discouraged by the couture kittens, yacht partiers and Mazarati drivers in South Beach; despite the emphasis on affluence, not everyone lives large in America's Riviera. Tourists can still partake in the excess from afar. Follow the lighting equipment to Lummus Park to spy on a photo shoot or wander by the bistro tables along Ocean Drive. You might spot a movie star. And for budget-sensible fun from the beach, hotel hop the Art Deco district with your camera; those neon-lit facades and sexy lounges are worth capturing even if you're not a guest in the penthouse suite.
Mickey Mouse will always have our hearts at Disney World – that's a given. Beyond the theme parks, however, are local Florida travel diversions that don't have to break the bank, starting with an inner tube ride down Rainbow River Rock State Park. On dry land, escape to the World of Orchids for fragrant, jungle air, catch the daily parade of ducks in the Peabody Orlando or dare to stare in the eyes of a gator at Gatorland, more contained and only slightly less intimidating a setting than Alligator Alley.
Florida Keys
Florida beach towns tempt with postcard flair, yet extra style points go the Keys, which spells paradise from every Hemingway bungalow, coral reef and beach bar. The main drag – Duval Street – is a free exercise in people watching, thanks to wall-to-wall bars, souvenir shops, bikers, drag queens and free-roaming Key West Gypsy chickens and roosters. Yes, we said it, anything goes in the Keys.

5 a magical filmstwiie | 01/04/2012 | See all stwiie's reviews (30)I was very unsure of this film when it came out at the cinema, I never went to see it it was one of those i'll wait til it comes out for the home type films. But then i started reading reviews of it and the american bluray release and how they was all saying its really good in terms of film,story,visuals, sound and 3D and i was getting excited for it. And they was right its a great film a real good heart warming,feel good arty film. Picture quality is flawless, the DTS:MA is great and clean and the 3D is amongst the best there is creating perfect depth to each frame of the image. The only problem i found was on a normal non 3D player it takes ages to load or not at all with a message saying no 3DTV detected if not directly connected to one. I discovered because i dont have a 3D amp yet i cant run both 3D and HD sound at same time,so when i want to watch a film in 3D i have to disconnect the player from directly in the amp and plug into the tv and just a optical for regular DVD dolby D. But when it was in the amp and i wanted to watch the film in 2D in DTS:MA i got the message and the disc wouldnt start its like the disc has some odd program on it, it just wouldnt run the disc in 2D it thought it was 3D even though it wasnt directly connected to the tv. So i had to trick the player and connect it to the tv get to the menu select 2D there then reconnect it back to the amp to run it in 2D and DTS:MA
2 what?awesomecity | 06/03/2012 | See all awesomecity's reviews (987)i usually watch about 5 new movies a week from all different genres and countries with all different budgets and production. this had it all: top director, superb production, outstanding cast bla bla bla. however, when i watched it all i really thought was long, boring and probably one of the most over-hyped films ever. scorsese made some of my favourite movies of all time, but i have no idea why he made this. or why a film set in paris had only english accents. the film was not what it seemed, but that wasnt a good thing. overall i was very disappointed. the only good thing i would say is that its visually stunning and the cast is solid.

3 A Little Disappointed.Dirtfish | 11/04/2012 | See all Dirtfish's reviews (475)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Books Reviewer Top 100 Toys Reviewer Hugo is a sweet drama starring Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christopher Lee, Emily Mortimer and Ray Winstone.Martin Scorsese directs this movie and the craft used is the work of a true master. The film looks beautiful and its clear Scorsese loved recreating the works of Georges Melies.The cast are very good (particulary Ben Kingsley) and the story has a charm about it. The main problem with this movie though is that its story is too grown up for kids to enjoy while adults may be too cynical to really enjoy the experience.Hugo is a beautiful work of art and Scorsese's love of the source material is clear but personally I found it difficult to connect to this movie. As a fan of Scorsese's I found myself longing for his more adult work.

Ned Kelly, Australia's infamous bushranger, has finally been laid to rest in a rural cemetery beside his mother, with his grave unmarked and sealed beneat concrete to guard against souvenir-taking.
Legendary Australian outlaw Ned Kelly will finally be laid to rest beside his mother in line with his final wishes at a plot not far from the site of his last stand, his family said on Wednesday.
A small group of Kelly family descendants escorted the bushranger's remains to the Greta cemetery where he was buried in a deep and reportedly concrete-sealed pit beside his mother, Ellen.
Kelly's last wish when he was hanged at the Old Melbourne Gaol 132 years ago was to be buried in consecrated ground in the family plot at Greta, not far from the town of Glenrowan where he had his final shoot-out with police.
But after his execution his remains were thrown into a pit. It was not until 2011 that DNA testing confirmed the bones – except his skull which remains missing – were his.
"We've brought him home, back to his family and back to the area that he loved, we've given him his final wish, so that makes us quite happy," said Joanne Griffiths, great-granddaughter of Kelly's sister Kate.
"We've made a real effort to ensure that he's going to be safe and he's surrounded by family and friends, which is the way he would've wanted it."
Hundreds of mourners gather for the funeral of Ned Kelly at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Wangaratta in Victoria (EPA)
Kelly's burial brings an end to a chapter in the story of one of Australia's most famous and enduring legends, with his tale of defiance against land barons and corrupt policemen dividing the nation even today.
Some see him as a callous killer and criminal while others celebrate him as a folk hero and symbol of Irish-Australian rebellion against British colonial authorities. His exploits have been the subject of art, film and literature.
Hundreds gathered to bid farewell to him at a church service Friday ahead of his burial, but Griffiths said the family had also endured decades of judgment for his deeds.
"Regardless of what people might think now ... this is not the day for judgment this is just the day for burying a family member," she said.
Developers of the prison site where his bones were found wanted to keep the famous skeleton for a public memorial or display but the Victoria state government forced them to return it to the family for proper burial.
Kelly was the only one of his gang to survive the shoot-out at Glenrowan due to his iconic homemade suit and helmet of plate metal armour. Three policemen were killed.
"This man Ned Kelly has a certain immortality. Not just in our hearts, but in the hearts of Australia," Monsignor John White told those gathered for Sunday's burial.

The FA has contacted Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson asking him to explain comments made about linesman Simon Beck.
Ferguson branded Beck's performance "shocking" after he failed to flag for what the Scot thought was a "clear penalty" for the visitors when Wayne Rooney went down in the box after a challenge by Steven Caulker in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Tottenham.
The United boss said his club had "history" with Beck following his failure to rule out an offside Didier Drogba goal in 2010 and also claimed that: "There was no way we were going to get a decision from (Beck)."
The FA confirmed on Monday evening that they have contacted Ferguson asking him to clarify his comments. He has until 6pm on Thursday to respond.
Should the FA rule that Ferguson's comments amount to a questioning of Beck's integrity, they will charge the United boss with misconduct and he could be hit with a touchline ban and or fine.

Rath, my prayers go out to your homeland.
"Four months of record-breaking temperatures stretching back to September 2012 have produced what the government says are "catastrophic" fire conditions along the eastern and southeastern coasts of the country, where the majority of Australians live.
Data analyzed on Wednesday by the government Bureau of Meteorology indicated that national heat records had again been set. The average temperature across the country on Tuesday was the highest since statistics began being kept in 1911, at 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit), exceeding a mark set only the day before. Meteorologists have had to add two new color bands to their forecast maps, extending their range up to 129° Fahrenheit."

I didn't do a big sewing resolutions post this year. I felt that my resolutions last year really helped guide me last year so much so that I don't need new general resolutions this year. Sure I want to do specific things like sew a coat and use my stash but I don't have enough of those things to make a full list.
However I do have one thing I genuinely want to work on this year regarding sewing and I want to know if anyone else has this problem, too...
While a lot of sewists make resolutions to sew more in the coming year I think I'm going in the opposite direction. In the last two years I've made a boat load of garments. Not all have been winners but many have and now a majority of my everyday wardrobe is handmade. I don't do a "Me-Made-May" or a "Self-Stitched-September" - I do a "Self-Stitched-Life!" I feel a big sense of pride that most of my clothes are me-made. I love getting compliments from friends and family in real life and I like showing off my projects on the blog.
But it's gotten to the point that I feel disappointment in myself if I go out and I'm not wearing a single me-made garment. Or even worse if someone asked me if I made something I'm wearing and I have to say "no." I feel like I am pressuring myself to sew all my clothes. Maybe this me-made pride is getting a little out of hand? I even feel guilty if I have to go buy clothes in a store because I just don't have the time to make something or do a lot of fitting. And those damn Gap jeans fit so well, too! I just can't compete! (Breathe, Dixie, breathe!) This is a legitimate problem, I'm telling you! It's like, "sewist's guilt" or something!
This manifests in other ways, too. I am constantly inspired by new styles but heaven forbid I buy a trendy garment from a store like a normal person. I can make that myself, goshdarnit! So then in my quest to make every idea that pops into my brain I get distracted and the projects that take a long time to develop, like designing my own patterns, take a back seat to the quick and dirty "fashion fix", the instant gratification I can get from sewing with pre-made patterns. Sure, I can crank out several garments a month but my pattern development schedule suffers.
Perhaps giving in and buying the occasional piece will free up some time for me to make more patterns or work on more complex projects?
So this year I resolve to chill out when it comes to buying clothes vs. making them. It is just impossible for me to make all the clothes I ever have an idea for and sometimes there are clothes that I like and would be great in my wardrobe but I just don't have the desire or excitement to sew them (which is perhaps why I have one button down top that I've been working on for months 'cause I'm a little bored with sewing it even though I know I'll like it when it's done).
Plus, I already know that I can make jeans or coats or bras or some other difficult item but that doesn't mean I have to make them. I should sew what I like making! I'm going to try to focus on enjoying sewing and not feel pressured to fill every corner of my closet with stuff I've made.
But I will try to at least buy clothes that are decent quality and buy from designers I admire like what I've decided to do since reading Overdressed.
Phew, ok, I'm glad I got that out of my system. It's going to be a hard resolution to keep - not necessarily buying clothes but not feeling bad about doing so. Does anyone else have this problem or am I just crazy???? I think I'm a little crazy...

On Sunday, World Wrestling Entertainment will air the 25th annual Royal Rumble on pay-per-view. Millions of fans all over the world are expected to tune in to see John Cena, Zach Ryder, C.M. Punk, Mick Foley and all the top WWE superstars battle for a chance to be in the main event at WrestleMania: The World Series of professional wrestling.
Professional Wrestling and baseball have a storied history. Major Leaguers like baseball's all-time hit king Pete Rose and long-time White Sox backstop A.J. Pierzynski have participated in numerous major professional wrestling events. Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets from 1964-2009, hosted a series of WWE wrestling events featuring Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan and Bruno Sammartino, from 1972 to 1980.
WWE Legend "Macho Man" Randy Savage was a professional baseball player in the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds minor league systems before turning his sights to a career in sports entertainment. Hall of Fame third baseman Pie Traynor was a wrestling announcer for Pittsburgh's Studio Wrestling program in the 1960s. And current WWE star Mick Foley came to Cooperstown in 2006 to give a talk at the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the baseball book he authored, Scooter.
Professional wrestling's connection to baseball, specifically the National Baseball Hall of Fame, goes back farther than that. It goes back nearly a century – to 1914.
On April 23, 1914, at the Polo Grounds in New York City, the prodigal son returned. Star outfielder Mike Donlin, owner of a career .334 batting average at the time, came back to the New York Giants after being sold to the Boston Braves three years earlier. In honor of his return, prominent New York Giants supporters, among them politicians, actors, song writers and theatre owners, got together and presented "Turkey Mike" with a specially made trophy bat during pre-game ceremonies, honoring him as the most popular Giants player.
The Master of Ceremonies for this event was prominent New York wrestling and boxing ring announcer Joe Humphreys. Among the team boosters who had this trophy bat made for presentation to Donlin was Jess McMahon.
Jess McMahon, a prominent wrestling and boxing promoter in his own right, is the grandfather of the "Babe Ruth" of wrestling promoters, Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon is the owner of World Wrestling Entertainment, the organization that revolutionized professional wrestling from the local, regionalized exhibitions of the pre-1980s, to the world-wide, multi-million dollar phenomenon that it is today.
This bat was donated to the Hall of Fame in 1963 by Mike Donlin's widow, Rita.
