Louise Glück
Louise Glück is considered by many to be one of America's most talented contemporary poets. The poet Robert Hass has called her "one of the purest and most accomplished lyric poets now writing," and her poetry is noted for its technical precision, sensitivity and insight into loneliness, family relationships, divorce, and death. Frequently described as "spare," James K. Robinson in Contemporary Women Poets also noted that "Glück's poetry is intimate, familial, and what Edwin Muir has called the fable, the archetypal." Rosanna Warren has described Glück's "classicizing gestures"—her frequent reworking of Greek and Roman myths such as Persephone and Demeter, for example—as necessary to her lyric project. According to Warren, Glück's "power [is] to distance the lyric 'I' as subject and object of attention" and to "impose a discipline of detachment upon urgently subjective material." Glück's early books feature personae grappling with the aftermaths of failed love affairs, disastrous family encounters, and existential despair, and her later work continues to explore the agony of the self. In the New York Times, critic William Logan described her work as "the logical outcome of a certain strain of confessional verse—starved of adjectives, thinned to a nervous set of verbs, intense almost past bearing, her poems have been dark, damaged and difficult to avert your gaze from."
Louise Glück was born in New York City in 1943 and grew up on Long Island. She attended Sarah Lawrence College and Columbia University. Her first book of poetry, Firstborn (1968), was recognized for its technical control as well as its collection of disaffected, isolated narratives. Helen Vendler commented on Glück's use of story in her New Republic review of The House on Marshland (1975). "Glück's cryptic narratives invite our participation: we must, according to the case, fill out the story, substitute ourselves for the fictive personages, invent a scenario from which the speaker can utter her lines, decode the import, 'solve' the allegory," Vendler maintained. But she added that "later, I think…we read the poem, instead, as a truth complete within its own terms, reflecting some one of the innumerable configurations into which experience falls."
For admirers of Glück's work, the poetry in books such as Firstborn, The House on Marshland, The Garden (1976), Descending Figure (1980), The Triumph of Achilles (1985), Ararat (1990), and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Wild Iris (1992) take readers on an inner journey by exploring their deepest, most intimate feelings. "Glück has a gift for getting the reader to imagine with her, drawing on the power of her audience to be amazed," observed Anna Wooten in the American Poetry Review, and Stephen Dobyns maintained in the New York Times Book Review that "no American poet writes better than Louise Glück, perhaps none can lead us so deeply into our own nature." Glück's ability to create poetry that many people can understand, relate to, and experience intensely and completely stems from her deceptively straightforward language and poetic voice. In a review of Glück's The Triumph of Achilles, Wendy Lesser noted in the Washington Post Book World that "'direct' is the operative word here: Glück's language is staunchly straightforward, remarkably close to the diction of ordinary speech. Yet her careful selection for rhythm and repetition, and the specificity of even her idiomatically vague phrases, give her poems a weight that is far from colloquial." Lesser went on to remark that "the strength of that voice derives in large part from its self-centeredness—literally, for the words in Glück's poems seem to come directly from the center of herself."
Because Glück writes so effectively about disappointment, rejection, loss, and isolation, reviewers frequently refer to her poetry as "bleak" or "dark." The Nation's Don Bogen felt that Glück's "basic concerns" were "betrayal, mortality, love and the sense of loss that accompanies it…She is at heart the poet of a fallen world." Stephen Burt, reviewing her collection Averno (2006), noted that "few poets save [Sylvia] Plath have sounded so alienated, so depressed, so often, and rendered that alienation aesthetically interesting." Readers and reviewers have also marveled at Glück's gift for creating poetry with a dreamlike quality that at the same time deals with the realities of passionate and emotional subjects. Holly Prado declared in a Los Angeles Times Book Review piece on The Triumph of Achilles (1985) that Glück's poetry works "because she has an unmistakable voice that resonates and brings into our contemporary world the old notion that poetry and the visionary are intertwined." Glück's Pulitzer prize-winning collection, The Wild Iris (1998), clearly demonstrates her visionary poetics. The book, written in three segments, is set in a garden and imagines three voices: flowers speaking to the gardener-poet, the gardener-poet, and an omniscient god figure. In the New Republic, Helen Vendler described how "Glück's language revived the possibilities of high assertion, assertion as from the Delphic tripod. The words of the assertions, though, were often humble, plain, usual; it was their hierarchic and unearthly tone that distinguished them. It was not a voice of social prophecy but of spiritual prophecy—a tone that not many women had the courage to claim.
Meadowlands (1996), Glück's first new work after The Wild Iris, takes its impetus from Greek and Roman mythology. The book uses the voices of Odysseus and Penelope to create "a kind of high-low rhetorical experiment in marriage studies," according to Deborah Garrison in the New York Times Book Review. Garrison added that, through the "suburban banter" between the ancient wanderer and his wife, Meadowlands "captures the way that a marriage itself has a tone, a set of shared vocal grooves inseparable from the particular personalities involved and the partial truces they've made along the way." Commenting on the link between Glück's work and the narrative of Homer, Leslie Ullman added in Poetry that the dynamic of Meadowlands is "played out through poems that speak through or about principle characters in The Odyssey, and it is echoed in poems that do not attempt to disguise their origins in Glück's own experience."
Vita Nova (1999) earned Glück the prestigious Bollingen Prize from Yale University. In an interview with Brian Phillips of the Harvard Advocate, Glück stated: "This book was written very, very rapidly…Once it started, I thought, this is a roll, and if it means you're not going to sleep, okay, you're not going to sleep." Reviewing Vita Nova for Publishers Weekly, a critic remarked: "Glück's psychic wounds will impress new readers, but it is Glück's austere, demanding craft that makes much of this…collection equal the best of her previous work—bitter, stark, careful, guiltily inward…It is astonishing in its self knowledge." Although the ostensible subject matter of the collection is the examination of the aftermath of a broken marriage, Vita Nova is suffused with symbols drawn from both personal dreams and classic mythological archetypes. James Longenbach, writing in the Southwest Review, noted that "Vita Nova is built around not one but two mythic backbones—the stories of both Dido and Aeneas and of Orpheus and Eurydice." Longenbach found the central theme of Vita Nova to be the poet's desire for change, and Glück's ultimate resolution to involve an embracing of recurrence rather than transcendence. "Having recognized that real freedom exists within repetition rather than in the postulation of some timeless place beyond it," Longenbach concluded, "Glück now seems content to work within the terms of her art…The result is a book suggesting that Glück's poetry has many more lives to live."
Echoing Longenbach in a review of Glück's next collection, The Seven Ages (2001), for the New York Times Book Review, Melanie Rehak stated: "It's a book in which repetition functions as incantation, forming a hazy magic that's alternately frightening and beautiful." The Seven Ages contains forty-four poems whose subject matter ranges throughout the author's life, from her earliest memories to the contemplation of death. While Rehak acclaimed "every poem in The Seven Ages [as] a weighty, incandescent marvel," a Publishers Weekly reviewer remarked: "Considering age and aging, summer and fall, 'stasis' and constant loss, Glück's new poems often forsake the light touch of her last few books for the grim wisdom she sought in the 1980s."
Glück's next book, Averno, was a critical success however and many judged it to be her finest work since The Wild Iris. Taking the myth of Persephone as its touchstone, the book's poems circle around the bonds between mothers and daughters, the poet's own fears of ageing, and a narrative concerning a modern-day Persephone. In his review for Tower Poetry, Stephen Burt described Glück's "bracing transitions and her scary omissions, her sudden claims and terse rejoinders," adding that "she has rejected most of the effects by which other poets depict life's attractions, or its distractions." In the New York Times, Nicholas Christopher also noted Glück's unique interest in "tapping the wellsprings of myth, collective and personal, to fuel [her] imagination and, with hard-earned clarity and subtle music, to struggle with some of our oldest, most intractable fears—isolation and oblivion, the dissolution of love, the failure of memory, the breakdown of the body and destruction of the spirit."
William Logan called A Village Life (2009), Glück's twelfth book, "a subversive departure for a poet used to meaning more than she can say." The book is a marked formal departure for Glück, relying on long lines to achieve novelistic or short-story effects. Logan saw A Village Life as a latter-day Spoon River Anthology in its use of "the village as a convenient lens to examine the lives within, which counterpoint the memories of her [Glück's] life without." Dana Goodyear, reviewing the book for the Los Angeles Times found A Village Life "electrifying," even as it presumed to tell its "polite" story of a "dying agriculture community, probably in Italy, probably some time between the 1950s and today." For Goodyear, the collection demonstrated how "Glück is a master, finely calibrating the shocks and their intervals… Glück camouflages herself in language so plain it's almost banal; then she shows her teeth." Goodyear added: "Ordinariness is part of the risk of these poems; in them, Glück hazards, and dodges, sentimentality. The near miss makes us shiver."
In 2003 Glück was named the twelfth Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry by the Library of Congress. That same year, she was named the judge for the Yale Series of Younger Poets. Her book of essays Proofs and Theories (1994) was awarded the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for Nonfiction. In addition to the Pulitzer and Bollingen Prizes, she has received many awards and honors for her work, including the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry, a Sara Teasdale Memorial Prize, the MIT Anniversary Medal and fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations, and from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2008, she was awarded the Wallace Stevens Award.

Milwaukee -141 vs Colorado……..Really don't like laying this much juice and this is probably about as high as I will go unless I take them on a parlay, but you have the better team, better pitcher and home field in our favor. I will try it.

LOUISVILLE St. Lawrence Sheriffs detectives and deputies charged Stacey J. Putney, 37, of Massena, with a felony count of second-degree burglary and a misdemeanor count of fifth-degree conspiracy, .
Putneys arrest comes after an investigation into her alleged involvement in the May burglary of a residence in the town of Louisville.
Police allege that Putney assisted two other suspects that broke into the residence and stole money, jewelry and other miscellaneous items.
Putney was arraigned by Louisville Town Justice Virginia A. Gettman and released under probation supervision. She scheduled to return to that court at a later date.
The investigation is continuing and further charges are pending, deputies said.

Beach outside and to the right of the hotel was fine, just be carefull of glass if you turn left onto the beach.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike1507 Accommodation features
My only comment was that the room furniture has insufficient storage for long stays.
There is little or no draw storage in room.
Rooms prior to renovation were better equipped.

Vertical foundation movement: this article gives details about how to evaluate & diagnose the cause of vertical foundation movement and the foundation settlement or other cracks that are observed. We discuss settlement cracks, leaning or tipping foundation walls, vertical or "up and down" shifts or heaves in foundation walls and footings and related problems. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Vertical Movement in Foundations & WallsVertical foundation movement may be foundation settlement, frost heaves, movement caused by expansive clay soils, footing settlement, or severe damage from earthquakes or other more sudden forces. Diagnosing the type of foundation movement and its cause are essential in deciding on the appropriate measures to repair a damaged foundation wall and to prevent future foundation damage. Leaning buildings: Our photo, courtesy of Tom Smith, shows the Leaning Tower of Pisa - whose foundation has moved both laterally and vertically as the structure began tipping even during construction. We distinguish among vertical movement, horizontal movement, leaning, tipping, bending, differential and uniform settlement, earthquake and storm damage, and other foundation damage patterns. This article series describes how to recognize and diagnose various types of foundation failure or damage, such as foundation cracks, masonry foundation crack patterns, and moving, leaning, bulging, or bowing building foundation walls. Also see FOUNDATION CRACK EVALUATION for a discussion of the diagnosis of specific crack patterns in masonry foundations, and see FOUNDATION BULGE or LEAN MEASUREMENTS which explains a simple method for determining how much bulge or lean is present in a foundation or wall, then see FOUNDATION MOVEMENT ACTIVE vs. STATIC which helps determine if the foundation movement is ongoing, and see FOUNDATION DAMAGE SEVERITY for a discussion of just how much foundation movement is likely to be a concern. To be used properly, this information must be combined with specific on-site observations at the particular building in order to form a reliable opinion about the condition of that building's foundation. Anyone having concern regarding the structural stability, safety, or damage of a building, foundation or other components, should consult a qualified expert. Photographs of types of foundation cracks and other foundation damage: we have a large library of photographs which we're always adding to this document. Contact us with questions or suggestions.
Foundation walls or building piers can be lifted vertically by frost heaving, by frost lensing, as well as bulged or pushed inwards by horizontal pressure from frozen soils. See BUCKLED FOUNDATIONS due to INSULATION? for additional details about these phenomena. Here are some classes of vertical foundation or building wall movement which we illustrate and discuss in more detail below Vertical Frost Pressure, Frost Heaving, & Lensing Movement of Foundations
A Common Source of Vertical Frost Heave - Un-heated Homes
Frost and soil pressure can also cause horizontal movement of the building foundation or piers, as we discuss further at HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT IN FOUNDATIONS. Uniform Building Settlement
Non-Uniform Building Settlement - Leaning or Tipping Buildings
Other Building Movement Causes & Cracks
Differential Settlement vs. Uniform Settlement in a Foundation WallVertical Crack Patterns Caused by Vertical Foundation Wall MovementVertical movement between different sections of a masonry foundation wall, whether it is constructed of concrete, concrete block, brick, or stone, tends to produce vertical cracks or a combination of vertical and step cracks through the wall, though there are definitely exceptions to this rule, as we will point out. Uniform Width vs. Tapered Width Foundation CracksBut unfortunately this "rule" has exceptions. When a masonry wall is "shrinking" such as curing concrete (and some experts pose also drying concrete block), it is not held uniformly in place across its length. The top of a poured concrete wall is generally unrestrained during the first portion of it's initial 28 days of curing, since nothing has been built atop the wall, or even if someone has started floor framing, the floor framing system does not secure the top of the wall against shrinkage movement. On the other hand, the bottom of the wall is pinned (or should be) to its previously poured and cured footing. The bottom of the newly poured concrete wall is more secured against horizontal moment along its length than its top. This might therefore produce some vertical shrinkage cracks that are wider at top than bottom. Why don't we always see this in concrete walls? As a concrete wall shrinks, the stresses produced in the wall are not concentrated at one single point, say the center of the wall; rather, shrinkage cracks may appear in various locations in the wall, not just at its center. Shrinkage cracks may be distributed rather than concentrated. However shrinkage cracks do tend to appear at local stress points in a wall such as at discontinuities in its form caused by windows, doors, or holes left for mechanicals and pipes. We discuss the types of crack or movement patterns produced by shrinkage, expansion, and settlement further at SHRINKAGE vs EXPANSION vs SETTLEMENT. Diagonal Cracks in Poured Concrete Foundations
Diagonal Step Cracking in Concrete block or Brick Walls Caused by Vertical Movement
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about about diagnosing and repairing foundation settlement, movement, or crackingQuestion: Pier or Pile Foundation settlement, movement, diagnosis & repair suggestions for a New Mexico home built on fill and clay soilsI have an adobe home built in 1995. Each adobe is 10 3/4'' wide and lying on a 24'' wide X 24'' deep foundation built on soil in New Mexico with some clay. House dirt pad was built up on original earth and 13 cement pillars were poured along the raised portion of earth. The house is 33' X 83'. Just recently the entire north portion of the house (83') has developed a crack along the tile floor and plaster wall. The most noticeable part of this 'shift' seems to be more toward the end of the house that sits on the pillared foundation. The bathroom wall is about half way along this wall and the sewer line sits under this portion of the house. There is a subtle but noticeable odor in this area and the tile has separated from the wall about 1''. What is happening and how do I fix it? The doors and windows are not opening smoothly and the wall appears to be cracking at an alarming rate. I have homeowners insurance. Thanks, - L.C. Sketch at above left provided courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates. Reply: foundation diagnosis and repair suggestions for settling piersThis topic is also discussed at PIER FOUNDATION PROBLEMS. A competent onsite inspection by an expert usually finds additional clues that help accurately diagnose a problem. That said, here are some things to consider:
I'd be a fool to pretend to diagnose building cracks by email, not to mention sight unseen. What to Do Next About Structural Cracking and Pier Repairs
If the explanation and repair advice you hear just doesn't make sense to you let me know what you were told and I can suggest some follow-up questions. And don't do anything expensive before you understand what's going on.
Our FOUNDATION CRACKS & DAMAGE GUIDE is the home page for discussions of foundation problem inspection, diagnosis, and repair. Question: how much out of level can a foundation be - allowable tolerances during construction?What is the acceptable differential/gradient for tolerances permitted during the initial foundation construction? I have heard that it is 2%, or 1" total differential over the span of about 20ft, but that statement had no real backing. - Kyle Olsen 8/5/11 Reply:Kyle Final authority on the requirement for level footings and foundations rests with your local building code official, but there are various building code guidelines. 2. FOOTING AND FOUNDATION DESIGN. Section R401 - R404 IRC 2009 Footings and foundations shall be designed and constructed in accordance with Sections R401 through R404.14.11. Footings and foundations shall be built on undisturbed soil or engineered fill. The top surface of footings shall be level. The bottom surface of footings are permitted to have a slope not exceeding 1 unit vertical in 10 units horizontal (10-percent slope). Footings shall be stepped where it is necessary to change the elevation of the top surface of the footing or where the surface of the ground slopes more than 1 unit vertical in 10 units horizontal (10-percent slope). Question: what causes vertical cracksi need information about vertical cracks how its happened ? how many type it have ? how we fix ? for my project can you help me sir ? - Ibrahim 5/4/12 Reply:Ibrahim, for a general understanding of how to recognize vertical foundation cracking and its common causes, start reading at VERTICAL MOVEMENT IN FOUNDATIONS. If you are asking for assistance with problems needing attention in your own home you will need an expert on-site to inspect, evaluate, and propose repairs. Typically you can find such help from an experienced foundation repair contractor, or if there is a more complex problem that requires foundation or foundation repair design work, you'll want to discuss the case with a professional engineer whose area of expertise and experience include residential foundations. Question: house settled after a flood - damage not covered by insuranceWe had no settling until after a flood swept through our property. The flood completely covered our land and invaded one room of our home that is lower than the rest of the house. The structure was completely surrounded by lots of water and it went under the house into the crawl space as well. Immediately afterwards, the house began to sink and settle causing foundational and cosmetic cracks. Our living room floor has dropped a full inch below the chimney hearth. Both our home owners insurance and our flood insurance says the damage isn't covered by those policies. We contend that the settling is a direct result of the flood water going under our home and permeating the ground making it too soft to maintain the structure of the home. Is this possible? What could be our possible course of actions? Thank you for any help you can provide. - Jill 7/5/12 Reply:Jill, an experienced professional can usually find evidence that explains the age and causation of foundation movement or damage. In the case you describe it sounds to me as if you'd want to hire a professional engineer whose area of expertise and experience are in foundation design, diagnosis, and repair. Typically a structural engineer or a civil engineer has the appropriate training but you might want to confirm that your professional also has experience with residential foundations. A detailed inspection and report by an expert with proper credentials should be a compelling argument to discuss with your insurance company. Question: Professional Engineer Comments on QualificationsThere is no such thing as a licensed structural engineer that is "not familiar" with foundation design and/or residential construction. A licensed structural engineer, "P.E.", would determine the most cost effective and durable solution. Reply:Well put, Dave P.E. and we agree with you and your advice except for the following warning: Watch out: there are some licensed professional engineers who violate their licensing state's guidelines by practicing out of their area of training. For example we have an unemployed aerospace engineer in one city who became a "home inspector" and who admitted publicly that for years "at the beginning I made plenty of mistakes", and we have an electrical engineer trained in circuit design in a second city both of whom perform what they advertise as "engineering inspections" of homes, offering diagnostic and remedial advice for structural problems. ...

Watch live WWE Battleground -
Outage again?
No outage here.
I had a bad link. Switched to yours, Rulzzz.
So, am I the champion now?
This has to be one of the worst WWE ppv ever.
Worst wwe ppv ending EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A friend just sent me this. The last 10 seconds probably describes the experience of those who bought tonight's ppv:
I didn't watch but is anybody else bored with the WWE's direction right now? Needs something really big to happen.
I'm not sure if the WWE has any direction at all. It just seems we get a 15 minute promo featuring HHH at the beginning of each show and that pretty much kills it for me. ->Spoiler!<- One rumor floating around is that the WWE Title will remain vacant until Cena's return which is possibly the Royal Rumble
Even the punk finish was lame punk wins on a low blow? I wish the power outaged had continued. It was god trying to send us a message to watch ANYTHING BUT THIS. :-)
It's kinda the lull/dead period for WWE.....seems like they are having to stretch the storylines.
Remember that stressed spelled backwards is desserts! "The New England Patriots: As annoying as the Yankess, just with 23 fewer titles."
If you have time the ROH Title match is on KDSM right now.
I'm guessing they'll continue to have Bryan getting screwed out of the title until Cena's healthy enough to do a run in and save him from getting attacked or something and ensuring he wins it.

I have one of those gel type cases that I got from an add from a contributing vendor on this site. They had them as low as 5.00 but I liked what I saw in the Frost case.
It fits my iPad very tight. I don't know how I'm going to get it out of there, but I'll worry about that latter. These iPads are slippery, almost like they were made to fall out of your hands and break. I highly recommend one, specially if you're trying to carry a keyboard and the iPad in the same hand.
I have a screen protector (Moshi) and the Apple dock. I received the dock as a gift with my iPad and it has to be one of the most overpriced and poorly designed items I can imagine. I would opt for a third party dock that has an external power connection and a larger footprint if looking for something similar.
I have the iPad dock, the keyboard dock, the camera connection kit, incase slip sleeve, the apple case, a zagg screen protector, and an icarbon.

I have the Apple case and dock.
Have to stop buying accessories now!!
iPhone 32GB 3GS & iPad 32GB 3G - a matching pair!
i have a Belkin Grip Ergo and leather folio and some generic screen guard
I sold my Apple dock and keyboard as I had to keep taking the case off to use it. The connector would not allow for the thickness of the case. I have now bought the Apple Bluetooth keyboard with is fine and I just charge the iPad separately.
I believe there is a case that has a flap at the back to allow you to keep the case on and use the docking unit with the charger and keyboard but I was not able to buy one in the UK.
I don't know about you all - but with just the number of types of cases alone available for the iPad these days, it is so easy to end up spending too much accessorizing it. I thought it was bad enough with the iPhone and other smartphones, but the iPad seems to have taken it to a whole other level. (I don't remember, for example, the Sony Walkman - for those old enough to know what it is - spinning off such a huge accessory secondary market.)

If you don't travel with young kids, then this report may bore you.....
I see posts now and then about families looking for things to do with their young children. So here is my informal trip report about my week of day trips around northern New England.
Day one: Woke up to rain. Time to change plans. So it's off to Lawrence Mass to check out Imajine That. This is an indoor play place in an old mill building. It's just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but if you're in the area and need something to do, go for it. The place was clean. They have a no shoe policy that was mostly enforced, but not fully. Staff is very inattentive. In fact, all they seem to do is sit at the front desk. They really need to be up walking around, checking on things, tidying up, keeping kids in line when the parents are too busy texting, etc. There is a climbing structure, a bounce house, a "grocery store", an art area, a dress up area, a puzzle area....so lots of options. The biggest issue is that they only have two bathrooms. A place that is loaded with children of potty-training age needs to have LOTS of bathrooms, not two.
On the way home, we decide to stop at Lavoie's farm stand in Hollis. Great peaches right now. I love this farm. Nice family. Check 'em out sometime.
Tomorrow it's off to Davis Farmland in Sterling Mass. First time there.....

Well today was going to be Davis Farmland, until I found out it would be $60 for the 3 of us. Ah, no thanks. So where can we go that's new to us?
We headed off to Don Ball Park in Derry NH. This is a great park!! It has a nice playground with two sections. The one for older kids is pretty high and of course it's where my two boys wanted to play. I was wishing for some anxiety meds or a bottle of wine....or both. It also has a splash pad area which was lots of fun. It's nothing fancy, but it's a nice way to cool off. There are also bathrooms there which is a huge plus! Not much worse than a playground port-a-potty.
Overall this ia a great park. It's clean and appears to be fairly new. Parking is easy. Picnic tables and benches all around. Not much shade though. I think there are baseball fields there and there is a sign that mentions their youth football program, so it probably gets pretty crowded at night when the teams are practicing.
If you have family visiting the area with kids and you want to get them out of the house, send them to Don Ball Park. They'll have a blast.
On the way home we stopped at Findeisen's Ice Cream in Hudson. This was a first for us as well. It was...okay. Staff was friendly, lots of seating, huge scoops....but the ice cream tastes like it has artificial ingredients in it. It tastes good, but it doesn't taste natural.
Tomorrow is an off day from our little adventures. Then we'll head to Seabrook NH and York ME. -

Well it's been a while, but we found a great new place! The Providence Children's Museum is so much fun! We have 3 and 4 year old boys and they had a blast. There is an outdoor area where they can climb, dig in dirt, etc. Inside there are two levels. Upstairs they have a section that is divided up by century. My boys loved this. The 1600s area was their favorite. There is also a nice water play area, building areas, and trucks.
We also had a chance to visit Mystic Aquarium. It's very clean with lots to see. I did find some of the staff members weren't very educated and answered questions with "I don't know" a lot. There are a few exhibits outside too, so it's not necessarily a rainy day destination. And it's expensive IMO. My younger son was free but I still paid almost $100 for the four of us to get in.
I'll update again later as we get to check out more fun family spots around New England. -
Report Abuse
Rizzo, I agree about the Mystic Aquarium. It is overpriced with how small it is. I somewhat justify it by realizing that the money goes to their rescue program but its still too much $ for a family. Thankfully, I get in free through work.

You do have your hands full with 3 and 4 year old boys. Yes, prices can be a bit much. Our son nearby has taken his 3 year old to the zoos in Boston and some parks, etc.

We once enjoyed a day at the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne Vermont. It was a huge, eclectic place spread out over a large area. Not a 'children's museum' per se, but exhibits on circus figures, carriages, antique toys, as well as a real-live steamboat.
A Ben and Jerry factory tour was a hit too.
Your kids may be a bit young for these now, but wanted to mention them for the future. It is so much fun to take little kids places. I loved reading about your adventures with them. -

travelgirl2 - thanks! we've done ben and jerry's, but by ourselves. we'll take the boys to vermont soon. i want to check out the montshire museum this summer. it's only 1.5 hours from us, so doable as a day trip.
Report Abuse
We took our then almost 6 and almost 8 gds to the Montshire last summer. Make sure to take swim suits so they can enjoy the outdoor water play area. Also take a picnic lunch. There are plenty of picnic tables and seems to be in an area where there's not a lot of restaurants. Are you sure it's only 1.5 hours? I thought it was that long for us and we're near Concord NH.
I have an acquaintance that works at the Prescott Farm Environmental Center in Laconia NH. It looks like a good place to take the gds some time. -

I'm hoping to take the GDs to the SEE Science Center in Manchester while they still have the dinasoar exhibit. Our library has a pass.
I'll be away for the spring festival in Warner NH. The GDs enjoyed that two years ago. -
Report Abuse
dfrostnh - I don't think the pass gets you into the Dinosaur section, only into the regular museum. The pass then gives you 1/2 off the Dinosaurs. Use cation...they have a omnivore section where four small dinosaurs are eating a large one. My boys happened to be fascinated by it, but it may bother other kids.

Went to the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium today. We have a museum pass that is good for ACMs and science centers so it was free. My boys enjoyed the flight simulator and thought it was hilarious when they crashed into the runway.
Right now there is a temporary exhibit called Treasures. There are cannons you can shoot at pirate ships downstairs. And upstairs you can unlock a safe, use metal detectors to find "treasure", and pan for gold. They had fun. We spent 2 hours. Could have made it three if we saw any of the shows.
For lunch we went downtown. We had burgers at The Barley House. It was kid friendly. Dessert was next door at The Crust and Crumb Bakery.
Make sure to cross the street and run around the grounds of the Statehouse. NH's copy of the Liberty Bell is out front. -

Yesterday we headed to Worcester for the Higgins Armory Museum. This place is pretty cool. We spent most of our time in the hands on Quest room since my boys are young. But there are four floors with armor, shields, weapons, etc. They have a room for kids to decorate shields ($5). There is also an auditorium but we didn't catch a show.
Higgins Armory Museum is closing in December so get there soon! I think some of the collection is moving to the Worcester Art Museum. -

Headed to Warner NH today for the festival. Visited the telephone museum. Actually a pretty cool little place with numerous hands on phones. My 3 and 5 year olds had fun!

We live close to the Mystic Aquarium so get the grandparents season pass which lets us take the kids all summer for a few hours at a time. The family season pass might be worth it if you could go more than once a year and many of the CT libraries have passes for free or a much reduced rate.
If you need a break while driving on I-91 in CT, stop in Rocky Hill at the Dinosaur Park. It is small but has lots of actual dino tracks still in place (they put the building up over them), and a few exhibits.
Up the hwy in Springfield, MA is a quadrangle with museums, one of which is a science museum.
Down the hwy in New Haven is the Peabody Museum, with great exhibits of dinosaurs, minerals, birds, Native American history etc. -

Today we did some "hiking" in Hollis NH off Rideout Rd. Found 5 letterboxes, or as my kids call them, TREASURES!!! If you've never letterboxed, check out atlasquest.com. It's similar to geocaching, just no GPS needed.

Around 7:30 a.m., troopers closed I-95 in both directions for several miles because of low visibility. The highway was reopened around 10 a.m.
Two of the three crashes were minor and no one was seriously injured, troopers said. Five cars were involved in the third crash and one person was taken to the hospital with injuries, according to FHP.
The nearby brush fire is the same one firefighters battled Saturday evening that grew to 100 acres.
The crashes have since been cleared from the roadway and there are no visibility issues.

Burgher inks Calvert
Huntington University women's soccer coach Ryan Burgher announced the signing of his sixth recruit for the 2009 school year, Kristin Calvert from Plymouth High School.
Calvert was a four-year starter for the Pilgrims. During her high school career, Calvert led her team to a 39-14-15 record and conference championships in 2007 and 2008. In her senior campaign Calvert was named All-Conference honorable mention and to the All-Sectional team. Calvert was also named Most Valuable Midfielder her senior year.
As a club player Calvert has played seven years with the Plymouth Travel Soccer Club, three years with the Argos Futbol Club, and has also guest played for the Fort Wayne Sports Club and the Elkhart Flames. In 2007, Calvert's club team won the Challenge Cup Championship.
During her time at Plymouth High school Calvert has been a part of the Pride of Plymouth Marching Band and the tennis team. Calvert is also a volunteer coach for the Plymouth Recreation Soccer League.
Calvert, who has narrowed her choice of major down to either exercise science and social work at Huntington said, "I chose Huntington because after visiting other schools, talking with other coaches and looking at other soccer programs, I knew right away that Huntington was right for me! The environment is great, everyone on campus is so nice and I like that it is a smaller school with so much to offer," said Calvert. "I'm excited about getting to know all the girls on the soccer team better and just having a good time!"
"Kristin is going to be a great addition to our program here at Huntington," said Coach Burgher. "She comes from a high school program that has had a great deal of success in her four years. Being a part of a team like that Kristin has learned and modeled the type of work ethic and dedication you need to be successful and I'm really excited to have her bring that to HU. Kristin also has great skill on the ball and a vision for the game, which will allow me to play Kristin in different spots on the field."

My insurance company (Pemco) sent me a checklist to prep the cars for winter and I thought I'd share this list with you:
Check your antifreeze - And I would suggest having the cooling system flushed and replace the antifreeze (50/50 mix) if it's been a couple of years.
Get your battery tested - If it's more than 3 years old
Lubricate door and trunk locks - To keep them from freezing
Change your oil
Replace wiper blades
Put an ice scraper in the car - You don't want to be hunting for this when it's cold and miserable.
Consider switching to snow tires
Always fuel up when the tank is 1/2 full - That way you won't run out of gas if you're caught in traffic during a slow, snowy commute.
Don't reduce your tire pressure - It won't help on snow and ice.
Carry an emergency kit - Gloves, blanket, warm clothes, nonperishable food, water, sand or kitty litter, flashlight, tire chains and jumper cables.

Do you know wolfberries/goji berries or 枸杞 in Chinese? Have you cooked anything with them?
Lately, dried wolfberries/goji berries have become my favorite ingredient-du-jour. I add them to my savory soup and stew, braised claypot dishes, and Bak Kut Teh (pork bone tea soup).
Highly renowned in Chinese cuisine as an ingredient with great healing powers (improving eyesight and immune system), nutrient richness, and antioxidant qualities (meaning you need to stock them up in piles to remain forever young!), wolfberries/goji berries lend a nice sweet (甘味) flavor to dishes, especially to pork and poultry…
I am going to share two recipes with you using wolfberries/goji berries soon…for now, please click here to learn more about this ingredient.
On a totally unrelated–but useful–note, I published a lengthy article about my tips and tricks to taking drool-inducing food photography at Dining Hall. Go read about it, and I bet you will be on your way to taking gorgeous food pictures with my exclusive article.
Anyway, if you are a lazy reader (like I am), I have put together a cheat sheet for you below:
1. Use white serving ware and do some food styling.
2. Never use flash even though it's dark.
3. Use Macro mode if you have a point-and-shoot camera.
4. Post processing with photo editing software such as Photoshop.
5. Tripod is not necessary. (If you don't have a tripod, it's OK.)
6. Consider investing in a DSLR camera.
7. Natural Lighting is the secret ingredient to fab food photography.
8. Minimalist props so your readers are drawn to your food.
9. Experiment with lots of shots.
10. Find your favorite style and mimic it.
My sister-in-blog Steamy Kitchen will be writing up a food styling guide soon. So, please be on the lookout.To find out what I use, my gear and lenses, please click here.

I've heard about these due to their high antioxidant values…Are they similar to Acai berries? they look colorful:)
1You know, I grew up eating these as a kid. My mom would boil them to death in these chinese stews which I never liked much. I'd be curious what kind of recipes you're going to share!
2Oh I saw some the other day at the store thinking 'What the heck am I going to do with those?'
Thanks a bunch for this post. I think the timing is just right for me to learn something new! :-)3I've been following your blog quite a bit, and I really adore it! Wolfberries are extremely popular in my family. We normally put them in those "healing" soups that take several hours to cook. I love 'em.
4I've heard of these but never tried them. Can't wait to see your recipes — I think there's a trip to my local Asian grocery in the near future!
5They are highly versatile. Though they may taste mild on its own, they do change the overall taste of the dish one cooks. I sometimes add them to vege stir fries (especially spinach) and also use them when steaming chicken :D
6I have to admit that I've a bit of a problem with point 6 – while a dSLR camera does take much better photos than point-and-shoots, I'd think that the most important thing is to learn the basics of photography and how to use your equipment, investment of upwards of $1000 into equipment is not going to automatically make your photography fabulous.
7i totally agree with ur tips..so thats y its so much harder to take photos of ur quality when we eat outside with plates all over in the table..
8thanks for the tip!
Will put it to great use!9These are great tips, Bee. Thanks!
10I have never heard of these berries.
Thankx for the info.11Oh I love to have my honey wolfberries drink. The wolfberries would be soaked in honey and when I bite into them, the honey would ooze out. I wonder how long they have to be soaked though.
12your photography (and cooking) is just excellento and I have so much to learn! I'm striving to take better pictures :P
yeah I also like to add a small amount of wolfberries to my dishes for the colour and variety :D
13I love wolfberries!!
Raw or cooked, they are really a delicacy and healthy too!!:D
I am sure you have heard of their association with good eyesight?;)14My mum made a soup dish today with these… hehe gonna blog about it. These berries are cool….
15Thanks for your great tips! My house is often dark and not close to any natural lighting. If I have to, that'll be on the floor near the door entrance. I do not have any nice background. There's usually things on my table. Any tips to getting a totally white and bright, clear background like what you have?
16Mansi Desai – I am not familiar with Acai berries…what are they?
Eating Plum – I have posted my recipe, check it out.
Zen Chef – It's always nice to experiment with new ingredients. Good luck. :)
Katie – thanks for your nice word and thanks for leaving me a comment…now I know you. :)
Lydia – do take a trip to any Asian grocery stores, you will find new ingredients for your Perfect Pantry. ;)
Hochiak – I agree…steaming chicken with wolfberries are a wonderful idea!
Elliw – my camera is not $1000, actually it's about $500. Of course, one shouldn't invest in a DLSR just because of having a food blog. To me, it's an investment to capture moments, and capture memories–be it food, travel, people, or anything. However I have to say that even an inexperienced photographer can take pretty good nowadays with a good DLSR…;)
Joe–that's one of the reasons why I almost never bring my camera to restaurants, unless I travel to a new place.
Ling – cool…I am great to offer any help possible.
Veron – you already take great food photography…you do not need any tips or cheat sheet. Hehe.
Happy Cook – they are native to China, you should check them out. :)
WMW – yes, yes, those in tong sui…yummy!
Noobcook – Thanks for your sweet comment. You're so nice. :)
Christy – yes my late grandmother always told me, eat these more and your eyes will be bright and sharp. LOL.
MyF – cool. I am going to check your blog out for the post.
Aimei – just go to any stationary or office stores and get yourself some white paper cardboard. That's it. That's my secret. ;)
17I love wolfberries and grew up with them in Chinese herbal soups and in stews. My mum also puts them with steamed chicken pieces along with herbs like dang gui and red dates (and seasoning) for herbal steamed chicken. Speaking of which I should make that again soon… Thanks for the idea and looking forward to your recipes.
18Thanks so much! How should I place the card board? Directly behind? How about the base if I want it to be white as well? Just prepare 2 card board for base and background?
19They sell Gojiberries (slightly sweetened) in Costco now. Very nice as a snack.
20hello! nice blog! made me very hungry reading your blog! i saw your pork ribs and lotus root recipe. it's a favourite in my family. my mom would add wolfberries to the soup too. it adds sweetness …. yum yum! and thanks for all the recipes. it'll help me alot of good when i have to move to the US. :D
21Wow i just started hearing a lot about these goji berries, im really wanting to order some and try them out. Thanks for the info about them. :)

"You see similarities when you watch the film,'' Maryland coach Randy Edsall said. "They're both kickoff returners and punt returners and they both play the slot position on offense. They might use Austin more from a running game standpoint than we do with Diggs. They are both great athletes and great competitors with the ability to change the game quickly and make big plays."
Diggs caught his first touchdown pass last week, snaring a tipped ball in the end zone. That, Edsall said, shows how advanced Diggs is from a mental aspect of the game.
"He still has a lot to work on in terms of fundamentals, technique and some other things in terms of route running and all that,'' Edsall said. "But I think the thing I didn't realize is how far along he is in terms of understanding and his knowledge of the game.
"If you take a look at the [touchdown catch], I mean how many guys are going to realize that it's one-on-one coverage, the ball is thrown not to me, but over to a guy next to me, and all I'm going to do is play to the whistle and run to the ball because the ball might be tipped, and then I catch it? There's a lot of guys that wouldn't have that instinct that have been playing for a long time.
"The athleticism, the dynamic plays, I kind of expected he could do those things. But I didn't expect the experience, the knowledge of some of the things he can see that he's doing. I think it's rare to have a guy do some of the things we've seen him do out there.''
That's probably something West Virginia hasn't seen this season. But as Holgorsen pointed out, his defense had better get used to it, starting today.
"Everybody else on our schedule is going to have a quick-twitch return guy that can make plays and is problematic because of talent and all the rest,'' Holgorsen said. "We faced a guy that was just like it in the bowl game last year [Clemson's Sammy Watkins]. They're called good players and there are more than just Tavon Austin and Stefon Diggs across the country, I can assure you that."

When you can rest in the belief and knowledge that God keeps His promises, this should be more than enough. Following Sarah's actions as she provided her husband Abraham with a child out of sync with God's promise and timing will lead us to uncertain turmoil because we jumped the gun. God's promises never change unlike the creations He made. We human kind will change our minds, we change Politics, Religion and churches at a whim, but the Eternal God never changes and we should trust in that and receive the security in knowing our Creator has made a direction in providing a way for us. The Eternal God provided a way in Yahusha / (Jesus) the Messiah to follow our Teacher of teachers as he gave no ear to Satan while preparing his Spirit 40 days in the desert leading to the greatest sacrifice.
Yahusha (Jesus) came under attack as we come under them today. At the opening of lies from the Adversary, Yahusha (Jesus) went right to the word and spoke, "It is written". We as Believers in the Most High God have no ears for the tricks and lies of our enemy. Follow Yahusha, the Master when he spoke the words and with no laps of memory knowing the Everlasting God is in control.
A path for us is already laid out filled with hurdles, detours and road blocks and knowing it is done gives us power to overcome with authority as Yahusha (Jesus) the Messiah laid out the blueprint for our lives. We know now there is nothing that we could not get through peacefully if only we go to the word and say "It is written" and rest in knowing, it is already done.

Ancient of Days Did we descend from ape-like pre-human hominids? Are we evolving from primitive savage to civilized modern humanity? Or are we only beginning to climb out of the darkness? We have been devolving, losing the powers that we once possessed, and we are only now beginning to rediscover the treasures which we have lost in the mists of antiquity. Plato told us that we live in a cave and that all that we see is merely a procession of shadows on the wall of that cave. Plato's "allegory" is literally true. No Bull Zone with Ferdinand
