– New comic novella
Tickfaw to Shongaloo,
sole Runner-up in the
2014 Faulkner-Wisdom
Competition, judged by
Moira Crone – release
June 1, 2015 from Southeast
Missouri State
University Press.
"This novella is what
would happen if Eudora
Welty's "Why I Live at
the PO" grew up and had
nine children, and
stuffed them all in one
village. It has many of
the same
eccentrics to start five
freak shows, a very nosy
postmaster, a town that
rallies to defend their
crazies, and to top it
off, three days of
testimony in a Baton
Rouge courthouse meant
to keep everybody in one
small town in everyone
else's business until
the end of time.
Good, funny writing, and quirky characters."
Moira Crone, The Ice
and The Not Yet
"Dixon Hearne has taken up the estimable mantle of Southern
comic writers that
stretches back to George
Washington Harris and
Mark Twain. This
uproarious tale stars
pretty much every last
citizen of the benighted
town of Stokley,
Louisiana, the kind of
place where folks lie so
as not to be caught up
in past lies.
Digressions are the
sunshine of this
hilarious novella, and
you'll be reminded of
Eudora Welty and
Laurence Sterne. I
haven't laughed so hard
A Confederacy of Dunces.
You're going to thank me
for telling you about
From Tickfaw to Shongaloo. Sit in your easy chair, pour yourself

Pnut oil
Can someone help here/ We use peanut oil in or turkey fryer and also for frying doughnuts. Of late it seems like the oil does not get as hot as the thermometer records and our doughnuts are greasy. Is it possible that the oil loses some of it's ability to heat ans therefore should be discarded?
It is getting as hot but I am surprised that it isn't smoking long before it gets to temp. This is due to the accumulated stuff in the oil Once things start getting greasy you have no recourse except to replace the oil.
I have a built in deep fat fryer in my kitchen. What happens with oil after you have used it many times is it degrades and then it must be replaced . Here are some links to tips.
Basically my son the chef , I am here at his house now, says...when the oil gets s%^&y replace it ! c
Here is a link that might be useful: Frying with oil
Can you tell me where you buy your p-nut oil? I used to be able to find it in large containers, but the last time I looked (for deep frying a turkey) all I could find was a 3? 5? gallon jug of some kind of mixed oil. I ended up buying it at an Asian market, but it was quite expensive and only available in quartish sizes.
YOu might look into getting rice bran oil in bulk. It is even better for high heat and is used in Chinese restaurants due to the great high heat qualities that it has. It is also much more healthful. c
Here is a link that might be useful: rice bran oil 5 gallon
Look in Aldi around the holidays for p'nut oil. They've had it in 1 gallon size. I've been lucky the past two years and found it in Aldi after the holidays and marked down to clear out.
Don't know what part of the country you live in but Menard's will probably have it. Also, the outdoors' type stores like Gander Mtn, Cabela's & Bass Pro Shop usually stock it in those large 3-5 gallon containers.
Straining after using it will help prolong the life of oil. But when it starts foaming, it's time to toss it.

Category: Occupy Movement
Outrage is growing over the U.S. Justice Department's prosecution of the 26-year-old who committed suicide last week just weeks before he was to go on trial. Pioneering computer programmer and cyber activist Aaron Swartz was facing up to 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine if convicted for using computers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to download millions of academic articles provided by the nonprofit research service JSTOR. As the chief prosecutor Carmen Ortiz defends her actions, we speak to Swartz's partner, Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman, and computer security consultant Alex Stamos, who would have been the chief expert witness at Swartz's trial. We invited representatives from the U.S. Attorneys office and MIT to join us, but they declined. Watch Part 2 of this interview: http://youtu.be/SIIFB7XoUTo Published on Jan 17, 2013 DemocracyNow.or

This was a fantastic opportunity to hear opera done at a very high level.
Another thing, Ms. Forte's reviews are easily the best I have seen to grace a Palo Alto newspaper. The depth and breadth of her insights into the performing arts is at NYT level.

Interested in Menton?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Menton each week.
You may also be interested in these deals within ten kilometres of Menton:
Topics include Transportation, France: For Foreign Visitors & more!
As one of the 120 cities designated
Ville d'Art et d'Histoire (City of Art and History) by the French Minister of Culture, Menton has many attractions to keep visitors amused. Start with a visit to the
Place Saint Michel, which is one of the main squares in the city. The architecture of the surrounding buildings is mostly Italian Baroque, and the mosaic cobblestones and old churches make this plaza one of the most picturesque places in Menton. Here you can find the Basilica of Saint Michael, built in 1619 by then Prince of Monaco Honore II, and the Chapelle of White Penitents, which dates back to the 1700s.
The Bastion of Saint Antoine, built in the early 1600s (also by Honore II), was a fortress intended for defense against sea invasion. It was guarded around the clock by fully armed soldiers until 1846, after which the fortress slowly became more or less defunct. During its history, the fort has also served as a prison and a lighthouse. Today, the bastion has been converted into a museum dedicated to the works of the artist Jean Cocteau.
There are two free admission museums in Menton. The Musee de Prehistoire, at Rue Loredan Larchey to the nothwest of the Mairie, covers mankind's earliest impact on the Mediterranean shore for the million years before written history. Objects collected at area digs and a treaure trove of videos are augmented by temporary exhibits and workshops for children. The Palais Carnoles, one-time seat of the Grimaldi's is a fascinating hodge-podge of art, housed in an amazing, ornate building, now in need of some repair. It's adjoining citrus tree garden is filled with sculptures of all kinds, and makes an excellent spot for quiet contemplation.
The city also enjoys natural landmarks, including many beautiful botanical gardens and fruit orchards. The Val Rah Meh, created in 1905 by Lord Radcliffe, is now the Museum of Natural History. The Maria Serena, on the other hand, is a garden filled with exotic and tropical plants

Microsoft's announcement of the Xbox One has been met with no shortage of derision. Concerns over the future of the used games market, the console's need to connect to the internet and a failure to effectively communicate the device's value to the consumer have led to one of the most negatively received console announcements in history.
But it isn't over yet. With E3 on the horizon and several months left before the release of the hardware, what can Microsoft do to turn the tide of public opinion?view full story + comments
Last week, it came to light that Nintendo has started making content claims for popular videos on YouTube which feature their products, including "Let's Play" and other forms of walkthrough content, taking the ad revenue which would have normally gone to the uploader. As the first major sign of corporate intervention in the rapidly expanding form of entertainment which (in all but a few circumstances) necessitates the use of another's intellectual property, one has to wonder: Should they even be trying to profit from the content their customers create?

It seems we can barely go a month without a game release suffering some manner of issue in its launch week that overshadows the game itself.

Tepid sales of Wii U hardware and the slow drip of content being released for it have led some to suggest that perhaps it would be best if Nintendo just got out of the business of making game systems for the living room.

The games industry seems to be rather fond of remaking the leisure products of yesteryear with fancy, high-definition graphics to bring them into the modern age. Are these releases introducing new audiences to the classics, or just exploiting nostalgia?

Downtown Dallas Shaken, Not Stirred By Earthquake
Reports on social media are piling up about an earthquake that hit the downtown Dallas area this afternoon.
Reports on social media are piling up about an earthquake that hit the downtown Dallas area this afternoon.
The 5.8-magnitude earthquake that unnerved millions of people on the East Coast of the United States on Tuesday forced schools in three states to close and damaged several buildings and federal landmarks.
At least four aftershocks followed the powerful quake, including a 3.4-magnitude tremblor that hit near the nation's capital overnight.
An earthquake epicentered in Virginia occurred Tuesday afternoon, with people in Washington, DC, New York, Ohio, North Carolina, Massachusetts and Toronto reporting they felt the tremors, as well.
On Friday, we ran live video of the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan. Many of you may be wondering how you can help those affected in their time of need. The following is a list of some of those organizations that are involved in the rescue and recovery efforts and, where applicable, the means by which you can donate to those efforts:

American scientists made a breakthrough with medical nano-bots. Thanks to nanotechnology in the near future it could be possible for people to operate inside their body, fighting disease and monitoring general health.
With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.

The Next Nature network is admirably raising awareness of the fact that our received and even critical understanding of nature as something opposed and underlying culture ("old nature") is outdated – if it ever has been valid. Following this, the project wants to take the insight further by insisting that because nature has always been cultural, the next step is to embrace and celebrate how cultural artifacts are (and always have been) escaping control, becoming autonomous, and thereby forming the eponymous "next nature".

After the Modernistic Watermelon and the Cubic Fruit, Japanese farmers have designed the pentagon-shaped orange. These citrus fruits called Gokaku no Iyokan, which means "sweet smell of success in exams", were given as a good luck charm for students in the upcoming entrance exam season in Yawatahama, Ehime.
Flat sided fruits seem to have some positive aspects: they are easier to put into a box or in the refrigerator than round fruits, and their peculiarity could encourage people to eat them, arousing curiosity. We guess in the near future more fruit varieties will develop angles!

Have you ever thought of using bugs as living moving brushes? Los Angeles painter Stephen R. Kutcher did! He employs different insects, such as flies, cockroaches and beetles, to create "wild" paintings, by dipping the bugs' legs in the paint and releasing them on canvas to scratch out their masterpieces.
Between science fiction and reality: a team of Japanese engineers at Shimizu Corporation, a leading architectural, engineering and general contracting firm, is working to turn the moon into a giant solar panel.
The NANO Supermarket's (speculative) Nano Slim-Fast Diet uses a tasty cocktail of leptin, peptide YY, and other hormones to naturally control your appetite. Researchers have now concocted a similar diet aid in the form of an implantable "circuit" made from synthetic genes. The circuit, consisting of several genes that govern satiety, monitors the fat levels in blood. When the circuit detects excess fat, it releases a chemical telling the brain that it's no longer hungry.
With the help of these slimming implants, obese rats lost a significant amount of body weight, despite having unrestricted access to a high-fat diet. Least you worry about the circuit going into overdrive and the now-slender rats wasting away, the genes are assembled to allow hunger to return once blood fat levels are back to normal. With the holiday season coming up, maybe the best present you can get your family is a pill full of Slim-Fast genes.

Initially you seem to be looking at just another clichéd landscape painting, but then you discover the branches are squared and things become more interesting.
Is this perhaps a recently discovered late Mondrian painting in which the master of abstraction returned to his landscape painting roots? Or was the tree transported in a square box, before it was planted there to satisfy our longing for a natural landscape?
The squared tree leaves you with the uncanny feeling that the naturalness we habitually indulge in, is merely an illusion presented by a system that aims to remain invisible itself.

Scientists at Juntendo University in Tokyo have developed a practice called EUFI, extrauterine fetal incubation. In EUFI, the researchers take goat fetuses, thread catheters through the large vessels in the umbilical cord and supply the fetuses with oxygenated blood while suspending them in incubators that contain artificial amniotic fluid heated to body temperature.
It may seem that Aldous Huxley's words from Brave New World have come to life: "One by one the eggs were transferred from their test-tubes to the larger containers; deftly the peritoneal lining was slit, the morula dropped into place, the saline solution poured . . . and already the bottle had passed on through an opening in the wall, slowly on into the Social Predestination Room".

After the 3D pizza printer for astronauts, NASA aims to grow a vegetable garden 230 miles above the Earth. Last year American astronaut Don Pettit cultivated a zucchini plant on the International Space Station, describing the farming on the blog Diary of a Space Zucchini. This successful experiment led the way to space farming, with the project Veggie: Vegetable Production System.
While vegetarian food products typically mimic existing meat products, the meat flower reverses this principle: In vitro technology is used to grow meat in the shape of a flower.
The Meat Flower is illustrative for the diminishing of borders between 'meat' and 'vegetarian' due to emerging technology: although the cultured meat is grown from animal cells, no animals are hurt and injured in the process.
Many people find the idea of eating in vitro meat – animal muscle tissue grown in a lab – to be creepy, unnatural or downright disgusting. Maybe it's the association with medical science, or maybe it's the fact that a happy cow in a grassy meadow seems far more friendly that something scraped from a bioreactor. It turns out, however, that in vitro meat is a lot less unnatural than we think it is, and that "normal" food is far more bizarre than it seems. Here's the top seven reasons why you shouldn't be grossed out by lab-grown meat:
A team of plaid-clad butchers have spotted a mature meat tree deep within the bacon-scented woods. Armed with hatchets and bone saws, the men chop the tree into logs. Back at the slaughter-mill, a quick bath in scalding water removes the tree's dense layer of fur. Its bark is cured for leather. Its central supporting bone is cleaned and shipped out for use in construction and plumbing. The meat tree, however, is most prized for its succulent flesh. Meat tree logs can be seen rotating in the windows of many shawarma and döner kebab cafes. In the image above, a bûche de Noël has been sliced into bone-in ribeye steaks for a delicious, sustainable holiday dinner.

A Japanese biologist, Katsuhiko Hayashi, has managed to create both sperm and egg cells from stem cells in mice. Not only that, but Hayashi was even able to produce a viable baby mouse using these same stem cells. His research may have far-reaching consequences for human fertility, one of which would be that two men or two women could make a biological baby together.
At the end of his TED talk, tissue engineer and entrepreneur Andras Forgacs receives presumably the very first standing ovation on the TED stage for a speaker arguing that lab grown meat and leather is a civilized way to move beyond slaughtering animals for hamburgers and handbags.
Forgacs is the co-founder and CEO of Modern Meadow, a company developing novel biomaterials. These include cultured meat and leather which, as they put it, "will require no animal slaughter and much lower inputs of land, water, energy and chemicals".
According to Forgacs, bioengineered victimless leather is a gateway towards the acceptance of bioengineering meat. Could be, yet before we can decide if we will ever be willing to eat bioengineered meat, we need to explore the food culture it will bring us.
In the basement recording studio of the journal Nature scientist and broadcaster Adam Rutherford sat down with speculative architect Liam Young to discuss the mythical beasts of synthetic biology. Rutherford recently worked with the BBC on a series called the 'Gene Code' which explored the consequences of decoding the human genome. Recognizing the potential externalities of communicating science poorly, Rutherford works at conveying the poorly understood field of synthetic biology to a broader audience.
With today's presentation of the first lab grown hamburger by Prof. Mark Post, in-vitro meat makes an important step towards our daily diet. Cultured meat could one day be a sustainable and animal friendly alternative to today's meat production. Yet, despite this technological breakthrough, many people still find it is an unattractive idea to eat meat from the lab. Before we can decide if we will ever be willing to eat in-vitro, we need to explore the food culture it will bring us.
While most of the ongoing research focuses on duplicating current meat products (like hamburgers) and making the cultured beef affordable, sustainable and tasty, the envisioning of new meat products that fit this new technology is equally important. Just like industrial manufacturing brought us new furniture, in-vitro meat technology may lead to entirely new food products, beyond todays sausages, steaks and burgers.
Besides a Hamburger, What Else?
Although cultured meat is typically presented as a technology to solve problems like animal suffering, food scarcity and climate issues, the technology could also be framed positively: Eating in-vitro could bring us entirely new food experiences and eating habits that may enrich our lives.

Latin Roots: Merengue
Originally published on Thu February 21, 2013 3:45 pm
In this segment of Latin Roots from World Cafe, Grammy-winning Latin music producer Aaron Levinson and host David Dye ourney through the world of merengue music, starting with its roots in the Dominican Republic.
Largely influenced by the dictator Rafael Trujillo to celebrate his political agenda, merengue is a form of fast-paced, rhythmic music. Utilizing diatonic accordions, tamboras and the güira, traditional merengue bands have induced listeners around the world to move with the sounds of the tropical beat.
Following the fall of Trujillo, merengue music reinvented itself numerous times by evolving into innovative subgenres such as merengue estilo yanqui or perico ripiao. Digressing a bit from its traditional beginnings, merengue now incorporates saxophones and other modern instruments to cater to mainstream audiences. Here, Levinson demonstrates why merengue is such a festive and addictive form of music.
Listen to the Latin Roots merengue playlist on Spotify.
Latin Roots is made possible by the Wyncote Foundation.

Jennifer Monge Model
Francois WardPhotographer Male Paris, Île-de-France, France
My Website: http://francoisrotgerphotography.comMy MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/delicatefilms
Mayhem # 3102368
About Me
I'm a professional photographer & director, and I'm at present living in Paris France.
I've started working as a director about 10 years ago, but I still work for a handful of magazines, fashion mostly.
I usually work with professional model agencies, therefore with professional models, most of the time. I also do sittings & portraits, and I shot many of the actresses that work & live in Paris.
I make my living as a photographer, and work 50% of my time abroad. I don't have an agent for photography anymore, as most of my time is devoted to directing - I have an agent that takes care of all my jobs as a director.
The reason why I'm joining MM is that I was hired for an interesting project, a 24 pages story for a magazine called YELLOW, and the requirement was to shoot only amateur models, as the article behind the story was a study on the MM phenomena. I though it was a good approach to what I call a more genuine and sensitive approach to fashion photography. I'm also working on a website/gallery that will feature some amateur & professional portrait photographers, since I believe there's many great talents out there that are poorly represented.
I selected only a few pictures here, to give an idea of what I do: mostly black & white, portrait oriented fashion photography with or without nudity, with a strong intimate feeling.
About nudity: I'm French, that means I've been around sculptures, paintings and pictures of men & women in the nude since I was born. This may not be a natural thing elsewhere, and I'm well aware of it. However, my pictures can definitely have an erotic content, with nudity or not. I'm also a fashion photographer working for European magazines, where nudity is everywhere. I don't intend to come to MM looking for porn or strong erotica, I think there's plenty of it anywhere else on the web as it is.
I'm mostly looking for models & actors, because I work in both fields. I'm not looking for actors for feature or short narrative films, because I have a casting agent in Paris just for that, but to shoot short commercial-type films.
I'm also looking for models that don't always fulfill the pro agencies criteria, ie not tall enough.
I used my mother's maiden name and my own first name on MM, because I'm not sure of what will come up with internet searches on my real name, but if I'm satisfied with what comes up, I will use my real name without thinking twice.
I indicated below my website, with my real identity, so it's not too difficult to know who I really am, and to find out more about my work & experience.
Let's take great pictures together!

Low FODMAP checklist! Click here for printer ready PDF version.
High FODMAP checklist! Click here for printable PDF version.
The low FODMAP diet is an evidenced based elimination diet shown to manage symptoms in 75% of those with IBS. The majority of the studies on the low FODMAP diet utilized a registered dietitian (RD) to help implement the diet. Work with an RD knowledgable in the low FODMAP diet to be sure you are following it correctly. The diet has many nuances making it a challenging diet to implement on your own. Note: the low FODMAP diet is a learning diet to help the person with IBS determine their personal trigger foods. The diet has been shown to reduce probiotic bacteria in the colon and the long-term impact of this has yet to be determined. The goal of the diet is to minimize symptoms while eating the most varied and healthy diet as possible.

I folks,
This is my first post, so howdy :). We bought an older home last March(built in 1930)and had a direct vent fire place installed, now we need to get it ready for Winter. We need to frame the surround and then build the mantle etc. We need some help on the framing aspect. We'd like to construct it in steel studs, however the framing plans that came with the Owners's Manual are not the best so we're looking for some ideas.
Comments and suggestions are MOST welcome.

Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum Looks Toward Its Future: Announces First Comprehensive Master Planning Process

Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum Looks Toward Its Future: Announces First Comprehensive Master Planning Process
Bristol, Rhode Island, June 1, 2010 - On the advice of community leaders and professionals in horticulture, economic sustainability, and management of sites of significant cultural value, the Board of Directors of Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum announces the hiring of an award-winning team of architects, planners, heritage tourism experts, museum professionals, and botanical scientists to help the organization plan its future. From a competitive process, Blithewold has selected the nationally recognized firms of Ann Beha Architects (ABA) of Boston, the Olin Partnership of Philadelphia, Anthony Knerr Associates of New York, and others to prepare Blithewold's first comprehensive master plan. Pamela Hawkes, FAIA, of ABA is Principal-in-Charge.
Blithewold is recognized by the Garden Conservancy as "one of the best preserved estate gardens and one of the most significant collections of trees in New England ...(It) is putting the highest standards of stewardship in place for the next generation." Underwritten initially by a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Blithewold's master plan ─ a year long effort involving board and staff, volunteers, members of the community, representatives of peer organizations, and selected experts ─ will consider how to preserve the property's unique assets and atmosphere of serenity, build its profile in the national arena of heritage tourism, and position itself for continued excellence in preserving its impressive collection of 3,000 trees and other important botanical material, its distinctive buildings with family furnishings, and extensive archives detailing the property's history.
"Blithewold is one of the Northeast's premier historic sites open to the public. Recent restoration projects have preserved important historic features at the property, and Blithewold is attracting ever more visitors. The property is beautifully maintained by a small, talented staff and very dedicated volunteers, and has expanded its educational programming especially to families, reaching new audiences of diverse ages and interests. Securing the services of such an impressive team of professionals working to create the site's first ever comprehensive master plan is a boon for this historic property, for the Town of Bristol, and indeed for Rhode Island," observes Ted Sanderson, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission.
Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum, a 33 acre historic property in Bristol, Rhode Island, on the shore of Narragansett Bay, was donated in 1976 to a non profit organization by the last member of the family who owned it, with the intent that it be maintained in perpetuity as a public amenity. With grounds open the year 'round and with four season programming, the site is governed by a 24 member board of directors on a 99 year lease with Preserve Rhode Island.

Sight for sore eyes
(Mar 27, '15)
Winter's mess has me craving tidiness (I understand the whole spring cleaning thing now and have gone a little nuts clearing surfaces at home) and its palette of whites, greys, browns, and bronzy greens has made my eyeballs hungry for super-saturated rainbow colors. You too? I had both wishes fulfilled during one dark, rainy day yesterday. Betsy and I […]

Cross Fingers by Mobigames is about as polished as a puzzle game can get on the iPhone with a slick presentation and stunningly simple gameplay that will eat up all of your spare time. The challenge of Cross Fingers is a basic one with players invited to shift blocks of varying size and shape to fill the voids on the screen. Much like tangram puzzles, these voids can be comprised of extremely odd shapes and will require some logic to piece together the final composition. However, this…Watch The Video Review
Skies of Glory Review
There's a kind of magic that comes from developers that use the free-to-download but pay-to-play model correctly and Skies of Glory by SGN will have you handing out cash almost willingly. As the name implies it's a flight simulator with arcade style dog-fighting. The game's set in World War II and takes players on a world-wide tour as you progress through the missions. Your accelerometer controls the basic tilt and lift of your plane, while touches and drags allow you to manipulate yo…Watch The Video Review

Real Tennis Review
Real Tennis 2009 is, as you'd guess from the title, a tennis game from developer Gameloft.

Players serve the ball by tilting the iPhone to the area you want to…Watch The Video Review

Bowman Defense Review
Bowman Defense by Triniti Interactive is yet another addition to the ranks of the archery-style arcade games littering the iPhone and like so many other successful games it has risen to prominence thanks to the liberal use of "creative license" and a fairly generic style of gameplay. The copy-cat nature of so many games on the iPhone is usually best represented by the lack of experimentation in the controls where the expectation is "if you've learned how to play game X then you'll hav…Watch The Video Review

Which IRON?? regardless of 'steam or dry'
Just finished reading a great thread about whether you are to 'steam' or to 'dry' iron blocks. Well.... it seems there is a mixed bag of input there, but....I really NEED a new iron.....my almost 40 year old black n decker is fast moving toward the trash bin. I spent about 30 minutes in Target just looking at all the choices and walked away empty handed. What are your views?? Does anyone have a Go-To iron that superceeds all others???? (and, I really don't want to spend a grand on an iron!!!)
I just went through a new iron purchase and took 2 back to the store after trying them out before I settled on a B&D Professional Steam Iron. Most of the new irons have the heat selection button on the handle and because of arthritis in my thumb, I hold the iron a little different from most people. With the buttons on the handle, I kept turning it up or down or completely off. I tried 2 different brands then found the B&D where the buttons are on the iron body under the handle. I waited until it was on sale and bought if for $40 regular $70. It replaced a very old Rowenta that leaked when I put water in it.
Good luck with your purchase!
Thanks for posting...I asked the same question, but a tad late in the post. I did notice that nanajayne just obtained a T-Fal. I'm curious how she likes it. I think toolgranny has a good idea as well,yet that could require multiple trips to my local goodwill shop looking for "that" iron.
Anxious to hear what others have to say.
I have gone the gammit as to irons. Everything from Rowenta Pro to Black and Decker, Sharp etc. I always went back to my old GE until it finally died a respectful death. I have an old dry iron that I am not sure what the name is that works OK but I like steam. My recent purchase was a T Fal which I like. I bought it on sale for about $25 with a coupon originally $39 I think. I have a Sharp that works but I don't like, I had to 2 B&D both died. I like the Rowenta (2)but refuse to pay the price anymore because they only lasted about 3 yrs. I just bought the T Fal because I at least new the name & it was cheap and expect it will only last a short time.LOL. I have had bad lucky with the new B & D but like the older models. I guess my recommedation is go with what fits your pocketbook and realize they are made to have short life.
Bought mine about 1 1/2 years ago after the death of previous iron. Don't remember what it was, but it lasted many years.
Last time I shopped I wanted stainless steel on the bottom and lots of steam jets. Now I only iron for quilting and needed it that day. I went to Costco and the choices were the Shark I bought for $20 something and the Rowenta that weighed a ton for about $80.
The Shark vertical steam, anti drip, works well as long as you can tolerate the auto shut off. I know they're safer, but sometimes it's irritating. I haven't had any trouble at all with the steam dripping white gunk on my fabric and I think I cleaned it once, maybe.
Thanks for all the input.... my poor old iron is leaking and UGH...you know what that does if you don't want water on a certain fabric? But...on the other hand, I still have to do hubby's dress shirts...can't imagne those without steam. (I do know how, tho...as a kid I had PILES of ironing to do with a sprinkler bottle...Sprinkle, Roll, Iron...you know the routine! ...with 7 in our family there were lots and lots and lots of ruffles, shirts...etc. way before perma-pressed!). I'll be shopping very soon...
I'm fed up with modern irons and have gone through several in as many years. I found two irons that belonged to my mother, who was not a cheap-skate when it came to appliances and dug one out to use. It weighs a ton, is stainless, and I'm loving it. Now THAT'S an iron. I had pitched her other iron because it had electrical tape on the cord and I wasn't comfortable with it, and I suspect that one was almost as old as I am. LOL. Newer isn't always better, at least not any more. I remember clothes before permapress and the sprinkler routine. I also remember the correct way to iron and the sequences to turn out perfectly pressed shirts. I don't suppose women teach their little girls to iron anymore. It's an art and a chore I always enjoyed.
I remember when my Mom sprinkled the clothes and rolled them up, put them in a plastic bag and into the crisper drawer in the refrigerator. The next day she would iron them. Some were sprinkled with just water and others were sprinkled with starch. She taught my sister and I to iron and I loved it. I remember as a teenager I babysat for a neighbor and was paid extra to do her ironing. It definately is an art and one our children will not learn.
I saw a dry iron in the Vermont Country Store catalog at too many $, but I called and asked them who made it. The company is called Continental. Then I found the same iron for a fraction of the cost on amazon.com and bought it. I really love it. It has no holes, so never snags a corner making those little fans that are so hard to get out. And it's heavy enough that it reminds me to let the weight of the "press" do the work, rather than stroking it back and forth & possibly stretching the bias. I also bought a new steam iron, since I thought I wouldn't be able to function without steam... but since we moved 6 months ago, it hasn't come out of the box. I have a little spritzer of water for stubborn wrinkles. And when doing a larger piece, I spray the whole thing, roll it up a few minutes and then iron with my cheapo dry iron.
I'm DEFINITELY a dry iron convert!
Nice to know I'm not alone in remembering Mom do the sprinkle, roll,refrigerate rountine. I even remember being excited as a 1st grader getting my mom a new sprinkle bottle at the school fair to make her ironing chore easier! Whadda gift :) However, unlike some...I do see ironing as a chore and Avoid at all cost, EXCEPT for my quilt fabric. Then ironing becomes part of the whole process which I enjoy!
Thanks for the heads up on the Continental iron...I need to check it out very soon.

I will make (hopefully) a number of Mass Effect and Halo fanfics. And sometimes, parodies and crossovers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them. Cheers. Who said Australians couldn't write?
Series in production:
For A Better Tomorrow (Inprogress): The ultimate fight for galactic survival. The stories of Marcus Lee Shepard, Tali'Zorah and Garrus Vakarian as they fight for a better tomorrow, the end an unknown only they'll be able to forge. Hardships lie and alliances are built. But for that Better Tomorrow to exist, there are requirements; there will be an Enigma to hatch, a Prophecy to complete, a Requiem to carry out, a Holocaust to stop and an Ultimatum to conclude. ArchReaperN7's interpretation of the Mass Effect franchise, from Mass Effect 1 to post-ME3.
Enigma: Complete.
Prophecy: Complete.
Requiem: Complete.
Holocaust: In progress.
Ultimatum: Unreleased.
Jacon and Friends (Stalled):Why not? Welcome to the fanfiction of horrors; where you can either be creeped out, or thoroughly amused. Caution: Possible death could result from reading this awfully funny fanfic.
A Draconis Dierum Saeculi: To avoid confusion on the name, 'A Draconis Dierum Saeculi' is Latin for 'Chronicles of the Dragon Age,' which, in English, roughly translates into 'Days of the Dragon.' Anyway, this series will be similar to my For A Better Tomorrow series in that it will be a novelization of the games (in this case, Dragon Age, not Mass Effect) while also being my own adaptation of them. Just like FABT, this series will follow the games (Origins, Awakening, II and Inquisition), but with my own additions. I hope you enjoy! Addendum: This story has been cancelled until further notice. It wasn't working out and was largely me testing uncharted waters; point being I tried, it didn't work out, and now I'm moving on.
Wardens and a Throne: Follows the events of Dragon Age: Origins.
An Architect and a Mother: Follows the events of Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening.
Wealth and Love: Follows the events of Dragon Age II.
Inquisitors and Demons: Self-explanatory. Follows the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition.
A Draconis Dierum Saeculi: Wardens and a Throne: Cancelled.
A Draconis Dierum Saeculi: An Architect and a Mother: Unreleased.
A Draconis Dierum Saeculi: Wealth and Love: Unreleased.
A Draconis Dierum Saeculi: Inquisitors and Demons: Unreleased.
