Lesbian Parenting Is A Labor Of Love
April 15, 1997
By Debbie Woodell
Where would you have wanted your teen-age kids on a Saturday night a couple of summers ago - racing up and down country roads in souped-up cars and trucks or home watching "Truman" with the neighborhood lesbian couple? I like to pose that question when I hear how perverted the so-called gay lifestyle is. No, we weren't engaging in behavior that would make the Lord send down his wrath; my partner and I - history buffs - watched the drama about our 33rd president. Just one more example that gay families are no different from most folks.
Gay, Lesbian Rights On The Agenda
June 22, 1991
By Idris M. Diaz, Inquirer Staff Writer
More than 300 people turned out last night for a $150-a-plate black-tie dinner to raise money to help secure full civil rights for gay men and lesbians and to push for stronger federal policies to combat AIDS. Last night's event is one of a series of similar affairs that will be held around the country to raise money for the Human Rights Campaign Fund. The organization is the largest lesbian and gay political organization in the country. The money raised last night will help the organization lobby Congress and support political candidates that support its goals.
She's in a tizzy: Mom's a lesbian
June 11, 2004
By Carrie Rickey INQUIRER MOVIE CRITIC
In the frantic and farcical spirit of Pedro Almod?var, My Mother Likes Women is about three grown daughters of a Madrid concert pianist who comically conspire to break up their mother's affair with a classical musician young enough to be their sister. The eldest and youngest of the siblings are merely disapproving of their elegant mother's new liaison. But middle sister Elvira (Leonor Watling, the comatose lovely of Almod?var's Talk to Her), plunges into an emotional tailspin.
Lesbians kidnap, rampage, make nice
December 12, 2003
By Howard Shapiro INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Suddenly is an exceedingly long, 94-minute lesbian rampage movie, sort of, in Argentinian Spanish, and we are to think that somewhere in its gritty black-and-white footage there are nuggets of Meaning and several rings of Truth. I didn't find any of these, although the film kept asking me to try. I found, instead, a fabulous cast trapped in Diego Lerman's desultory movie about a sad and sincere Buenos Aires woman named Marcia (Tatiana Saphir) who works in an underwear shop and is accosted on the street by two aimless, horrid women named Mao (Carla Crespo)
Fond Look At Landmark Lesbian Bar
April 16, 1993
By Carrie Rickey, INQUIRER MOVIE CRITIC
Like a certain celebrated TV taproom about to make its last call, Maud's was a place where everyone knew your name. Not to mention your sexual preference. On the fringe of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, itself on the fringe of the Bay Area social carpet, Maud's was a gals-only bar - a Sapphic Cheers that from 1966 to 1989 catered to San Francisco's lesbian community. The pretext of the affectionate documentary Last Call at Maud's is to chronicle the 23-year history of this watering hole where everyone from singer Janis Joplin to San Francisco Police Commissioner Gwenn Craig tossed back a few. But the subtext of this modest production is to provide a thumbnail sketch of the civil rights indignities endured and protests waged by the lesbian community since the postwar period.
Learning To Deal With The Gay And Lesbian World
January 8, 1993
by Sasha Alyson, From the New York Times
Two books published by my company, "Daddy's Roommate" and "Heather Has Two Mommies," are in the middle of the controversy surrounding New York's the "Children of the Rainbow" first-grade curriculum. The controversy, of course, is coming from adults. Many New York school boards, led by Queens District 24, have rebelled against Chancellor Joseph Fernandez' call for a curriculum that includes references to lesbians and gay men - and that includes our books on a suggested reading list.
Juggling the details for Jewish lesbian wedding
February 12, 2008
By Toby Zinman FOR THE INQUIRER
Somewhere between a Jewish wedding and a very small circus, Sara Felder's June Bride, now at the Painted Bride Art Center, is an entertaining and good-natured one-woman show. Like Felder's Out of Sight last year, June Bride is autobiographical. Felder's m.o. is to tell a story about a major event in her life while punctuating the narrative with some impressive juggling (balls, cleavers, scarves, boxes). The event this time is her marriage to Dev, and the complications of two women planning a traditional Jewish wedding, chuppah and all. "I always wanted a wedding," Felder says "- a big, beautiful, loud, happy, traditional, lesbian, Jewish wedding.
Why this lesbian loved the Man in Black
September 17, 2003
RED. That's the first color I think of when I think of the Man in Black. Red was the color of the Columbia Records labels on my grandparents' Johnny Cash records. You might wonder what a lesbian who was born and raised in South Jersey has to do with Johnny Cash, the country music superstar who died Friday at 71. Well, my story probably is like that of a lot of kids who lived through the '60s, gay and straight. Growing up, my brother and I often slept over at my grandparents' while my parents went off and did whatever parents do when the kids aren't around.
Lesbian Novelist A Tad Disingenuous On Jesus
March 26, 2007
DEBBIE WOODELL says in her op-ed that author Kittredge Cherry did not write her novel "Jesus in Love" to advance the cause of lesbian and gay rights. But the evidence says otherwise. What other reason would there be? There is no evidence to prove Jesus was gay, straight or attracted to others. This is fiction, just like "The Da Vinci Code" and the anti-Christian left swallows it hook, line and sinker. What rights are the gay community lacking? After all, they can get married, have health benefits, even their own parade.
Letters: Lesbian nuptials & sexual identity
August 31, 2011
RE columnist Ronnie Polaneczky's "Store Dresses Down Bride for Being a Lesbian" : How can anyone make such a staunch claim of identity based upon something as precarious, if not frivolous, as the human sexual appetite? Worse yet, why should anyone support those who have estranged themselves from the rest of humanity? That's right. I said "estranged. " If that weren't the case, then why do gays use the term "straight allies"? Moreover, if gays see us as enemies, why don't they just fight to win our minds by engaging in intelligent dialogue about what makes a person gay?

Upset that her son donated his sperm to lesbian couple
March 31, 2016
DEAR ABBY: My oldest son came to me nine months ago asking my opinion. He wanted to donate sperm to a black lesbian couple (for a fee) so they could have a biracial child. He told me he needed the money. I told him I didn't approve because they were lesbians. (Sorry, I'll be bashed for that statement, but I have to be honest.) I have a biracial 10-year-old son, so race isn't the issue. Had it been a heterosexual couple of any race, I would have been OK. However, what I told him was that if he gave up his rights to the child, I, too, wouldn't have grandparents' rights.
When Pennsylvanians search for porn, their word is 'lesbian'
March 4, 2016
By Howard Gensler
The country may be divided among red and blue states when it comes to national elections, but when it comes to porn, we're not all that different. And every state is blue. And while fivethirtyeight.com has raised polling to a fine art in the world have politics, it has taken a union of Pornhub and vocativ.com to research and inform Americans about their X-rated peccadilloes. Analyzing searches by state for the month of January, the research concluded that the word "lesbian" ranked highest in 30 states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Lesbian artist to donate painting of pope to her Catholic alma mater
October 6, 2015
TRACY BOYD has a longtime female partner whom she intends to marry. Seven months ago, Boyd found herself so moved by Pope Francis that she painted an impressive, impressionistic portrait of the pontiff, which she plans to donate to her alma mater, Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School. The school near North Wales, Montgomery County, is run by the same order of nuns that fired a popular lesbian teacher from Waldron Mercy Academy in Merion Station in June after complaints were made about her marriage to a woman.
Lesbian teen fears coming out will change how she's thought of
August 24, 2015
D EAR ABBY: I am a lesbian, still in high school, who has not yet come out to any friends or family. I want them to know, but I'm afraid to tell them. I'm pretty sure this is who I am, and I don't want them to dismiss my identity. I also don't want them to think of me differently - I want to be the same person in their eyes as I was before I came out. They aren't homophobic to my knowledge, but I feel "stuck. " I have fairly bad social anxiety, so it's difficult for me to say anything.
Chaput's take on firing of lesbian teacher betrays common sense
July 16, 2015
By Mike Newall, Inquirer Columnist
"Character and common sense. " Those are the words Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput used to praise Waldron Mercy Academy's firing of a lesbian teacher for being married to her partner. Nothing controversial about it, Chaput said in a statement Monday. Nothing at all. Indeed, the archbishop is "very grateful" that the Sisters of Mercy canned Margie Winters, the Merion school's director of religious education, last month after a few parents complained about her marriage.
Chaput backs school's ouster of lesbian staffer
July 15, 2015
BY REGINA MEDINA, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-5985
THE SISTERS OF Mercy order and Waldron Mercy Academy officials "showed character and common sense" in their decision to fire a school staffer who is in a same-sex marriage, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said yesterday. The Archbishop was not alone in his support for Waldron Mercy Academy's dismissal of Margie Winters after eight years of employment. The Sisters of Mercy, which sponsors the Montgomery County Catholic school, also issued a bluntly worded letter to parents, telling them the Waldron Mercy decision is final.
Kenney: Waldron Mercy should reinstate lesbian educator
July 10, 2015
Regina Medina, Daily News Staff Writer
THE LIKELY next mayor of Philadelphia has urged administrators at a Montgomery County Catholic elementary school to reinstate a gay teacher who was fired for her marriage to a woman. "Discrimination and hate have no place in the Church's teachings and certainly not in its schools," Democratic mayoral candidate Jim Kenney said in a statement released by his campaign yesterday. "I urge the school administrators to reinstate Margie Winters. " Winters, the popular religious education and outreach director at Waldron Mercy Academy in Merion Station, was fired last month after complaints about her marriage were lodged with the school and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Lesbian educator dismissed by Catholic school
July 9, 2015
BY REGINA MEDINA, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-5985
A RELIGIOUS-EDUCATION director at a Montgomery County Catholic school has been dismissed because, parents say, she is lesbian wedded to a woman. Many parents have voiced support for the educator, Margie Winters, director of religious education and outreach, calling her "inspirational" and "dedicated. " Now they're directing their ire not at the school and its sponsor, the Sisters of Mercy, but at the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and Archbishop Charles Chaput. "It's time to get the attention of the Archdiocese and the Catholic hierarchy and let them know this is illegal," said Katie Culver, who has three children at the school.
Birthday surprise: Her mom's been having a lesbian affair
June 24, 2015
D EAR ABBY: My mom turned 60 last month, and I hosted a party at her house for friends and family. As things were winding down, I took a break from cleaning up to look over the birthday cards from well-wishers that were displayed on a living-room table. Among them was a big, gorgeous card from "Cassie," a woman around my mother's age who I always thought was nothing more than an acquaintance. As I read the message she had written inside, my jaw dropped. While not pornographic, her message made clear that she and Mom have an intimate physical relationship that has been going on for a while.
Should I be worried that my wife watches lesbian porn?
January 30, 2015
By Steve and Mia
Q: My wife and I have been married for five years. We're in our mid-30s. I recently discovered that she has been viewing lesbian porn on our shared home computer. I was stunned. Our sex life is pretty good, but I feel there is plenty for me to be concerned about. Why wasn't my wife comfortable in sharing this with me? Is it possible that deep inside she may be dangerously close to trying a woman? Is it normal for women to fantasize about other women? How should I deal with this issue?

MacBook Air firmware updated to support replacement batteriesApple this past weekend released a firmware update for its MacBook Air line of ultra-thin notebooks that bundles support for a new series of replacement batteries.
The 623K update requires Mac OS X 10.5.7 and makes modifications to the notebook's micro-controller on the logic board that controls the power functions, thermal management, the sleep LED, and battery.
Apple said the update will deliver compatibility for a new series of internal MacBook Air replacement batteries that are making their way to its repair depots and other Apple authorized service repair centers. The company, however, did not say how the new wave of batteries differs from their predecessors.
Introduced in January of last year, the MacBook Air was the first modern-day Apple notebook to include internal batteries that are not easily serviceable by users. Since then, similar batteries have found their way into the company's 13- to 17-inch MacBook Pro offerings.
The Mac maker says that advanced chemistry and adaptive charging allows the batteries to maintain charging capabilities longer and determines the optimal way to charge the batterys cells.

Holders Ulster top Magners League table
Published 23/09/2006
Defending champions Ulster went to the top of the Magners League last night after beating the Ospreys 43-7 at Ravenhill.
There were tries for Rory Best, Tommy Bowe, Paul Steinmetz and Neil Mcmillan completing the bonus-point haul, with fly-half David Humphreys kicking another 23 points.
A late Mark McHugh penalty gave Connacht a 22-22 draw against Edinburgh at the Sportsground.
McHugh kicked five penalties altogether and converted Matt Mostyn's first half try in a game that saw no less than five sin-binnings in the final half hour.
Chris Paterson scored all but 3 of the visitor's points.
Elsewhere, Cardiff beat Glasgow 27-9 and the Borders lost 8-20 to the Dragons.
Leinster can keep Ulster on top of the table if they manage to beat the Llanelli Scarlets this evening.
Trevor Hogan and Guy Easterby return to the Leinster XV for the trip to Stradey Park.
Captain Simon Easterby reverts to the blindside for Llanelli alongside Alex Popham and Gavin Thomas, with Mark Jones coming in on the wing for top try-scorer Darren Daniel.
Dwayne Peel is on at nine inside Stephen Jones, with Regan King back in the centre.
Kick off is at 5.30pm.

Good man. I agree, it's nice to get input from other people.Oh, I didn't see it that way, don't worry I listen to opinions and go my own way. It's nice to hear what others think because it's hard for yourself to judge, I think, but in the end, I'll do what I like with it.
Meh, that's too bad. I can understand wanting to be fit, but the whole "I just spent my afternoon in the oven" look is gross to me too. I prefer the "girl next door" look anyways myself. Very simple, no fake boobs or orange skin. Everyone can use *a little* sun so that it looks like you actually step outside once in while, but intentionally tanning the hell out of yourself..I really don't get it. I'm hear ya man.Only problem is, I live in a place full of rich, preppy people so I stick out like a sore thumb and there doesn't seem to be many girls who are into the whole non-fake-tanned look around here :P
All tanning is gross, I love my wife's ghost white skin. Makes her look like an aristocrat. Whatever happened to the days where tan=POOR anyway.
As the online culture grows tanning is starting to phase out, thankfully. People like me who never step outside will be the new icon of beauty!
Heh, I have to choose between ghostly pale or tomato red. Never been able to tan (unless I get a bad sunburn first, so I'd rather not)...

The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers announces solo album
Head to thekillersmusic.com or brandonflowersmusic.com and get the same simple impression: The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers is stepping out on his own for a solo album.
Titled "Flamingo," the set has no release date yet, but would be singers' first effort done outside of the group. There is currently a music loop of about 1:30 on those websites, mostly a beat, a slide guitar riff, and Flowers' breathing out a simple "hah "syllable vocal line. Whatever it is, we like it. If it's anything like "Human," we'll really really like it.
The Las Vegas-based band alluded to big announcements in their Twitter earlier in the week, declaring: "Check back here... for real news, true stories, big updates, and sights & sounds both new and old."
They were largely dormant since last Tweeting in February. The group only recently concluded their Day & Age tour, which included some cancelations earlier in the year: Flowers was a dealt a blow on Feb. 11, when his mother died. Perhaps that provides some inspiration for the songwriting?
The Killers' last album, "Day & Age," was out in November 2008.

The Beatles have been all over the news last week, thanks to the 50 year milestone (Feb 9) of the iconic pop band's first performance in The Ed Sullivan Show. Looks like Apple is celebrating and they're doing it in a big, never-before way. They have launched a new channel on the Apple TV simply named, The Beatles.
If you turn on your Apple TV right now, you'll see that the above icon has been squeezed into your home-screen. Yeah that's right, Red Bull TV is now showing over Apple TV.
Before you start rolling your eyes down this page, let me ask "Do you watch WWE matches?". If you're answer is 'no', there is no sensible reason to go beyond this point. On the other hand, if you like to watch men bashing heads on the ring and breaking necks with chairs, you can join our celebrations, because WWE shows are reported to be scheduled for an entry into the Apple TV.
Apple is adding more and more content to the Apple TV: starting today, Apple TV users in the UK can access NOW TV's Sky Sports. For £9.99, the Sky Sports Day Pass gives users instant access on their TV to all six Sky Sports channels. The pass activates immediately upon purchase and is billed directly to the iTunes account.
Apple has yet again added new content to already quite long list of channels available on the Apple TV. Among the newcomers is Bloomberg, Sony's Crackle service, Watch ABC and Korean channel KORTV.
You may notice a few more icons on your Apple TV than you did before since Apple just deployed an update to the Apple TV to add a ton of new content.

GMC student in ICU after jumping through fourth-floor windowApril 28,2014By Darren Marcy
Staff Writer
POULTNEY - A Green Mountain College student is in intensive care after he was severely injured early Sunday morning after police said he jumped from a fourth-floor window of Ames Hall while he and friends were taking LSD and drinking wine.
Christian Pezzino, 22, of Reading, Pa., was reported to be in the intensive care unit at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington on Monday.
Pizzino was initially transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center after the 2 a.m. fall, but was soon flown to Burlington by helicopter.
Detective Sgt. Albert Abdelnour said Pizzino was drinking LSD-laced wine with a group of friends when he allegedly ran to the end of a hallway and jumped through a closed window from the fourth floor of Ames Hall.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bondville woman is facing a felony charge after police said they learned she was...

careful bubbah! They are stretching already!
get an oscillating fan going in there and maybe use soda straws or toothpicks for support! You need to strengthen the stems! Once those leaves open, the weight will bend em over otherwise!
Get that light as close as you can without touching AND leave it on 24 hours a day! CFL's MUST not have a dark period in veg, as they are not the same intensity/quality of light as MH/HPS
No need for revenge, just sit back and wait.
Those who have hurt you will screw eventually themselves; and if you are lucky, God will let you watch!

Peer Choice in CEO Compensation

August 27, 2012
Current research shows that firms are more likely to benchmark against peers that pay their Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) higher compensation, reflecting self-serving behavior. We propose an alternative explanation: the choice of highly paid peers represents a reward for unobserved CEO talent. We test this hypothesis by decomposing the effect of peer selection into talent and self-serving components. Consistent with our prediction, we find that the association between a firm's selection of highly paid peers and CEO pay mostly represents compensation for CEO talent.

Millatfacebook: New Facebook For Muslims, A Response to Draw the Prophet Facebook Group
It did not take long for Pakistani/Indian Muslim geeks to hit back on facebook after the deep unpleasant feelings by many over the facebook group that call for a competition to Draw the prompt Mohammad Peace be upon him.
But they hit back with Millatfacebook, a facebook like social network for Muslims and "nice, decent and sophisticated people of all religions and faiths, to come together and make a network. They should interact in a way that is socially responsible by providing them all the freedom of expression, however respecting each others' sentiments, sensitivities and beliefs. " as the site says.
Pakistani entrepreneur Omer Zaheer Meer, CEO of Millatfacebook, told hindustantimes " We requested Facebook to remove the offending pages but they did not even bother to reply," so instead he launched his new startup.As the site says:
"A small group of young IT professionals who were very keen users of Facebook developed this idea when Facebook seems to allow mockery of the most sacred person of Islam, the prophet Muhammad (Sallal-la-ho-Alaihe-Wa-aalehe-Wasallam). A competition was announced on facebook and the blasphemous caricatures of the prophet Muhammad (Sallal-la-ho-Alaihe-Wa-aalehe-Wasallam) were uploaded, and instead of taking any consideration and action, they supported it candidly.
"After the announcement of the commencement date of this excruciating incident on facebook we all saw hundreds of the protesting Muslims around the world who all together failed to make facebook stop that irreligious event and they made Muslim Millat bear that extreme pain. We all have experienced the so called "freedom of expression" the statement which they produce when ever any question is raised to them. They never let go this freedom of expression when it comes to the Holocaust, or racism, and honor this statement, but when it comes to the Muslim faith, they never."
According to Hindustannews, In 11 days the site managed to attract thousands of members, who seem fired-up by Facebook. Even though facebook promised to "respect Islam" and deleted the offending group.
Millatfacebook look like having many of the current features that facebook has, however I could not finish my signup process since the site requires verifications via email and until this moment I did not get the email. The site nots claims "Yahoo is blocking any incoming/outgoing email which contains millatfacebook.com, " we do not know if Goolge is blocking with its gmail.
#Thanks Mo'men Mohamed for the tip. Via Allfacebook
Share and Enjoy

American Folklore Theatre casts magic spell
Fish Creek — In the late 19th century, a wide-eyed boy goes to sea and becomes a man. During World War II, a young woman learns how to weld and discovers a resilience she didn't know she had. Somewhere on Green Bay, two lonely fishing guides finally lose their fear and find each other.
Those are the stories being staged this summer at American Folklore Theatre, where scandalously cheap ticket prices allow an entire family to enjoy original musicals that combine G-rated entertainment and big-hearted, often sophisticated explorations of adult themes — all of it unfolding outdoors, in the woods and under the stars in Door County's Peninsula State Park. »Read Full Article

One of the top badges of honor a defensive player can have is the "hard hitter" label. Hitters are feared by offensive players and highly respected by their peers.
Aided by video proof, these are the top hitters on the 2014 recruiting trail. There is an underrated linebacker headed to Alabama who routinely punishes ball-carriers, an inside 'backer in Florida who relishes contact and a safety in Tennessee who has no problem separating the football from a receiver.
Bodies will be sore after watching these hitters perform on the field.
Player evaluations are based on reviews of tape from Scout.com, Rivals.com, 247Sports.com and ESPN.com.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Are your employees engaged or are they transactional? Do you believe that employee engagement has a substantial impact on your bottom line? If so, what are you doing to increase employee engagement?
In a 2008 study, over 90 percent of senior management perceived employee engagement to be important to their businesses' success, yet only 25 percent of the companies surveyed had implemented any sort of employee engagement plan or strategy.
A comprehensive Gallup survey of American workers over 2010-2012 revealed that only 30 percent of the U.S. workforce feels engaged.
If employee engagement is as important as survey respondents say it is, why isn't there more constructive action within organizations to promote and support it? Several challenges exist. In this post, we address a critical one: making the basic business case for employee engagement:
How do you convince the CEO, COO, or other C-level executives to devote time, money, and energy to something sometimes considered unquantifiable and often labeled "soft"?
Answer: Make the connection to hard economic returns. Take your cue from an ROI Institute study, in which 92 out of 96 Fortune 500 CEOs stated unequivocally that they want to hear the business impact of learning-and-development programs.
Here's some ammunition for you:
In a subsequent post, we'll discuss how to focus on the "hard" side of employee engagement programs: KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), business metrics, and evaluation methods.
In the meantime, start warming up your C-level executives to the notion that caring about the "bottom line" means caring about employee engagement—and doing something about it.

We measure the susceptibility components of a poled polymer film by second-harmonic generation with two beams at the fundamental frequency. The technique allows the consistency of experimental data and the validity of the theoretical model used to analyze the results to be addressed. Our results are in agreement with the expected values, provided that the linear optical properties of the sample are properly included.

Dropping water table causes the Milwaukee Rep to sink, repairs needed
Sitting on a table in an office at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, the weathered and rotted stump looks like a prop for a scene at a wharf or aboard a seafaring vessel.
The damaged stump, believed to be tamarack, was yanked out of a hole deep in the bowels of the Patty & Jay Baker Theater Complex, adjacent to the Milwaukee River and home to the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater, Stiemke Theater and the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article(37)
Windfall Theatre cast gets a bit lost in 'Petrified Forest'
In the late 1930s, Robert E. Sherwood owned the American stage, winning Pulitzer Prizes for three plays. Opening on Broadway in 1935, and featuring an actor named Humphrey Bogart, "The Petrified Forest" isn't among them. But it's the Sherwood play that's best remembered today, thanks to Bogart's ensuing appearance in the 1936 film with Leslie Howard and Bette Davis.
Windfall Theatre artistic director Carol Zippel is convinced Sherwood's "Forest" can still take root, and she's stating her case in a Windfall production that opened Friday night under her direction. »Read Full Article
Romance, love for stolen Stradivarius in the air at MSO Pops
An evening of love-themed tunes and the return of the famously stolen Lipinski Stradivarius violin to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra stage made for a big Valentine's Day performance at the MSO Pops Friday night.
A large contingent from the Milwaukee Police Department was in attendance, as guests of the orchestra. They were acknowledged from the stage at the top of the concert, receiving a hearty round of applause from the audience and the orchestra for making arrests in the case and for recovering the 300-year-old violin. »Read Full Article

OpenSUSE Project Welcomes First Community Elected Board
When polls closed at exactly 12 UTC last Saturday, the openSUSE Project had chosen its first community elected board.
On the openSUSE announcement list, Marco Jung proclaimed the winners: Novell is represented by Henne Vogelsang and Frederico Mena-Quintero with Pascal Bleser and Bryen Yunashko the new non-Novell board members. Chairman of the new board is openSUSE Project Manager, Michael Loeffler, appointed by Novell.
Bleser and Vogelsang received the most votes and so will remain on the board for two years. Yunashko and Mena-Quintero have been elected for one year, hence the next election will take place around the same time next year.
The board will officially lead the Project and will adhere to the openSUSE Guiding Principles. Loeffler, as Chairman, retains a right to veto. Eligible to vote are all openSUSE Project members. Details to the election can be found here. (Novell account necessary).

Cranberry sauce can be a great addition to a cobbler or crisp recipe. The basic cranberry sauce recipe calls for whole berries and sugar, which are also the two main ingredients in most fruit cobbler recipes (although you can use fruits besides berries, of course!). The cranberry sauce is already cooked, so it isn't necessarily a great choice on its own to serve as the ... Read More »

Blackberry Shortcakes with Yogurt Whipped Cream
The end of summer always means the end of shortcake season. In this case, by shortcakes, I mean biscuits or scone-like cakes that are topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Shortcakes are very easy to make entirely from scratch when you're using biscuits as a base because the biscuits only take a few minutes to put together and can be used fresh out of ... Read More »
Peach and Meyer Lemon Clafoutis
I bought a few peaches this week and they hit their peak today, filling the kitchen that sweet, floral aroma of ripe peaches. I ate one, then wanted to use the rest in a dessert where they would shine. Peaches go well in many dishes, but I decided on a Peach Clafoutis. It's hard to beat a clafoutis for a one-dish fruit dessert because they ... Read More »
Blueberry Apple Crisp
In spite of the fact that I love to have apple pie around the 4th of July, I find that I often think of apple desserts as fall desserts. This is probably because there are far fewer fresh fruits to choose from at the end of the year when you compare the season with spring, when you have a plethora of in-season berries and stone ...

In the US, I would venture to guess that most people think about pies made with summer fruits before they start to think about puddings with them.

What kind of fruit do you put in cobblers?

I usually turn to berries by default, but realistically you can put just ... Read More »

I happen to think that tiramisu is a great summertime dessert because it require any cooking and it is served cold.

Notwithstanding the fact that Ehrlich says that the preliminary stage has been closed, one receives the impression from the recent literature on 606 that there are many points still to be settled in almost every phase of the work with this new remedy especially in regard to its administration, prognosis, indications and by-effects. We stand at the beginning of our work; many questions need elucidation, and it is of general interest that results should be collected from many different sources.

Gift Guide: Best of Biography
Michael Holroyd is a great biographer, but his most lasting works will be his less monumental efforts: those creative smaller works that often star the biographer rather than the subject. None is better than "A Book of Secrets" (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 258 pages, $26), a romance of the biographer's quest—what Mr. Holroyd describes as "an intense involvement with absent people from the past," in this case with English politician Ernest Beckett (1856-1917) and the women he loved. In 1970, Mr. Holroyd saw Rodin's bust of the Edwardian beauty Eve Fairfax while doing research, and the face fascinated him: "She appeared serene, sometimes she seemed clothed in a lingering air of melancholy and her sorrowful countenance gained a strange authority." Angle and distance, time and place, are of course the biographer's concern as he pieces together absent lives.
The previous biographies of J.D. Salinger were placeholders until someone with the sensitivity of Kenneth Slawenski arrived to create a convincing portrait of a man haunted by his own egoism. The subject of "J.D. Salinger: A Life" (Random House, 464 pages, $27) was no saint—and he knew it. Salinger was a terrible husband, virtually abandoning his wives during his 12- to 16-hour writing jags and refusing to accompany his family on vacations or trips. He was a fitful father. He treated nearly every editor who wanted to publish his work as a phony. Yet Mr. Slawenski shows him as a rather noble figure, a man and writer who created great art by examining his own phoniness.
In "Eva Braun: Life With Hitler" (Knopf, 324 pages, $27.95), Heike B. Gortemaker provides an iconoclastic portrait of Hitler's mistress—they married on the day, at war's end, that they committed suicide together. While most historians view Braun as an apolitical appendage of Hitler's paltry private life, Ms. Gortemaker shows how she played the politics of personal loyalty and inspired others, like Albert Speer, to do the same. The biographer reveals, quite startlingly, that Hitler spent more time with Eva Braun—especially after 1935—than he did with even such figures as Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler. She fostered his reliance on lackeys and helped him shut himself off from the awful reality of what was happening to Germany and to the world. Ms. Gortemaker finally gives Braun her place in the dark history of the Third Reich.
With every publishing season hailing another biography of some already well-documented Founder, it was a pleasure to descend into the trenches of American history with Willard Sterne Randall. His absorbing and comprehensive "Ethan Allen: His Life and Times" (Norton, 617 pages, $35) puts a good deal of flesh on the New England hero who captured the British-held Fort Ticonderoga in May 1775. A spirited man, Allen was, like many of his contemporaries, not averse to profiting from land speculation and accumulating family wealth in ways that allied him as much with the old world as the new. Allen was also notable for his unconventional guerrilla warfare and his searing accounts of his time as a British prisoner of war.
The title and subtitle of Joseph Lelyveld's "Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle With India" (Knopf, 425 pages, $28.95) are, in a sense, at war with each other. Gandhi inspired millions with his selfless contributions to the democratic struggle for the autonomy and independence of colonized peoples. Yet, as the subtitle indicates, he had his limits as a man and failed to realize most of his life's dreams. The book shows Gandhi to have been a remarkable man but not the saint that popular history has presented.
—Mr. Rollyson is the author of seven biographies and of "Biography: A User's Guide."

Shortcuts are a great way to increase your productivity and as you become more comfortable with Photoshop, you'll learn the ones that you need. You can also make changes to shortcuts if there's no shortcut for the menu item or for the tool, or for the command that you want. We can see as we move through the menu that many of the commands already have keyboard shortcuts. And just to decipher them for you on the Mac, this icon is the Command key, on Windows it would be the Control key. This icon right here is the Option key or the Alt key on Windows, and the arrow that points up, that's going to be the Shift key.
Let's take a look for a moment at the Layers menu. This is one of the longest menu. But if we scroll down to the bottom, you'll notice that there is no keyboard shortcut for the Flatten Image command. So, let's go ahead and customize that and make one. In order to do this, I'll select Edit. And then we'll scroll down and at the bottom there will be keyboard shortcuts. You'll see that we can add keyboard shortcuts for not only the application menus, which are the menus across the top, but also the Panel Menus. Those were the flyout menus here on each of the panels, as well as the tools. So let's start with the application menus.
And I want to add a keyboard shortcut to flatten my layers. So I'll use the disclosure triangle next to the Layer menu here. And then we just need to scroll down to the very bottom almost, until we see where it says flatten image. Then, I'll click over here in the blank area. And as soon as I do, I can then type in the keyboard shortcut that I want to use. So let's say for example, I type in Command+F on Mac or Control+F on Windows. Well, Photoshop's going to alert me because that keyboard shortcut is already in use, and will be removed from the Filter menu > Last Filter if I accept it.
So this is up to you. I use this keyboard shortcut quite often, so I want to select a different keyboard shortcut. I'll try typing in Cmd+Option+F. Again, that's already in use but it's going to be removed from the Filter > Last Filter with dialog box. So here I have a choice, I am going to go ahead and accept that by clicking on the Accept button down here on the lower left or we can click accept in the upper right. That's going to remove the keyboard shortcut from its default, and place it here on flattened image. Let's also change one of the shortcuts for the tools. The tools are a little bit unique, and that you can see that they can only use a single key as their shortcut, so you can't use a modifier like the Command or the Option or the Shift key.
On Windows, that'd be the Control, Alt, Shift key, instead we just need to find a letter that not be used. Well, let's scroll down here, because there are two tools that I often go between. That's the Brush tool and the Mixer Brush tool. And instead of continuously tapping the B key, or adding the Shift key and adding the B key to cycle through these tools. I'm simply going to select the Mixer Brush shortcut by clicking on it and then I'm going to tap in the K key.
You can see that Photoshop is not warning me anything because the K key isn't being used, nor is the end key. So I'm going to scroll almost all the way down to the bottom. You'll notice that I have options here not only for these tools but, also to bring up the foreground or background color picker. So, instead of having to click on one of these icons, I can simply use a keyboard shortcut. So, I'll select the foreground color picker and then, tap the N key. I'll go ahead and click accept again or you could just click anywhere outside of here for Photoshop to accept this, because the N key wasn't used anywhere else.
Now you can see that where it says set, it says, Photoshop defaults and then modified. What I'd like to do is save this out, as its own set of keyboard shortcuts, so that I could transfer it to another machine, or, maybe give it to a friend so that they could use the same keyboard shortcuts. In order to do that, I'll click on this middle icon here. And then I'll save the keyboard shortcuts in the keyboard shortcuts folder. So Photoshop is automatically is going to save it to the correct folder, and I'll just rename this jkost. And I'll go ahead and click Save and we can see that we are now using the jkost set.
If I wanted to return to Photoshop defaults, I could do so at any time by just selecting the Photoshop defaults. You can see that the N key went away and then I can change back to my own set and we see my custom keyboard shortcut. One thing that you might want to keep track of is actually where we saved those files just in case you do want to copy them to another machine. So let's click on the Save icon again. Just so I can show you where exactly this folder is. So if I click on this downward pointing triangle here, in order to show the full dialog box then we can go ahead and take a look at the path. So on my computer, in My User, the shortcuts are saved under the Library folder, under Application Support, Adobe, Adobe Photoshop CC, Presets, and then Keyboard Shortcuts.
So if you ever forget, where we save them, you can go ahead and use this pass in order to kind of, help you cheat, to find where they are. Now, I don't want to save another copy, so I'm going to select Cancel. So let's go ahead and just make sure that these work. I'll click OK, and then I'll tap the K key and you'll notice that I was taken not to the regular default Brush tool but to the Mixer Brush tool. And if I tap the N key, we can see that it automatically brings up my Color Picker. Now in order to test the Flatten Image, I'll go ahead and choose the File and then New, and just accept the default, and the I'll create the new layer by selecting Layer, New Layer. I'll say okay, and we can see how my layers panel I have two layers and then I can use the keyboard shortcut Command+Option+F or Control+Alt+F, and we can see that this image has been flattened.
Excellent, so we'll close this. We know that our keyboard shortcuts are working. We now know how to create them but I am going to return back to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. And I'm going to change the set back from the custom one we just created to the Photoshop defaults to make sure we're all in the same place. I'll click OK. So there you have it, creating custom keyboard shortcuts might seem like sort of a minor thing when you're first starting to learn Photoshop. But as you become more advanced, you're really going to want to access your tools and menu items more quickly.
And customizing your shortcuts is one of the most productive ways to do that.

World of Warcraft, Meet World of Fight
From China Journal's Juliet Ye:
Is a battle brewing in China over World of Warcraft?
Last week, the Web site wofchina.com went online, advertising a familiar-sounding videogame called World of Fight.
"WoF (World of Fight), a new game by The9 Ltd., is soon to come," the page reads. Web site registration data confirm the site is owned by The9.
Casual viewers might be forgiven for mistaking it for the site for World of Warcraft, the popular U.S.-based sword-and-monsters game that keeps hundreds of thousands of Chinese players in the country's Internet cafes awake into the wee hours of the night. Its Web site address is similar to WoW's wowchina.com. The layout looks similar too.
That set China's media speculating that The9 is gearing up to get back at World of Warcraft, which it currently hosts in China, though not for much longer. On April 16, Activision Blizzard, which owns World of Warcraft, said it instead awarded Netease, owner of wowchina.com, the license to host the game in mainland China for the next three years. The9's contract officially expires in June.
The9 could not be reached for comment. Chinese language media reported that people from the company's PR department refused to offer details of World of Fight.
Industry observers wonder whether The9 is launching a "shanzhai," or knockoff, World of Warcraft in hopes of keeping WoW players. They point to the experience of another Chinese online company, Shanda Interactive Entertainment. When the South Korean game company Actoz Soft terminated Shanda's license for game Legend of Mir 2 in 2003, Shanda launched its own game called World of Legend.
Analyst Zhao Xufeng from Shanghai-based research firm iResearch said that the similar name and site may draw players to its new game new game. "With the topic staying in the center of attention, The9 can easily attract attention by doing this," he said, but added, "Chinese players have high loyalty for the game, and technically, The9 does not have the technical ability to copy WoW."
