By a party line vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed Senator Dianne Feinstein's "assault weapons" ban on Thursday.
By a vote of 94-29, the Kansas House of Representatives approved House Bill 2199, the Second Amendment Protection Act, which would nullify any new federal restrictions — passed either by Congress, presidential executive order, agency order, rule, or regulation — on firearms, magazines, and ammunition.
The Missouri Department of Revenue is reportedly using grant money from the Department of Homeland Security to create and share a database of citizen information.
Using a "truth serum" to determine whether or not the Aurora, Colorado shooter James Holmes was sane or not at the time of the shooting is more likely to obfuscate and delay the trial rather than clarify and expedite it.
With the passage of House Bill 302 (HB 302), Montana is now moving toward being the first state in the country to approve a nullification bill prohibiting the enforcement of a potential federal ban on semiautomatic firearms and large-capacity magazines within its borders.
Following widespread national media attention, outrage continues to grow surrounding the controversial suspension of a 16-year-old Florida student who reportedly helped disarm a gunman on a school bus, potentially saving at least one life. School officials dispute those reports. Now, however, a national youth-rights organization has officially become involved in the case to advocate on behalf of the suspended teen and have his permanent record cleared. Members of the local community have also rallied to the cause.
The scorn and charges of hypocrisy heaped on Mark Kelly because he purchased an AR-15 for himself while promoting restrictions on others miss the point: His arguments that somehow placing more restrictions on law-abiding citizens will keep weapons out of the hands of criminals are demonstrably false.
The recent cultural madness and subsequent campaign of distortion surrounding guns in America offers a chilling example of the selective outrage and cynical manipulation employed by the cultural elites of our country, from the president and the White House to Hollywood and academia.
A total of 52 out of New York State's 62 counties have introduced resolutions requesting the repeal of the NY SAFE Act.

By PHILIP T. HAYES
The area described, nearly 1,000 square miles, lies in Eddy and Otero Counties along the south boundary of New Mexico and includes most of the northern part of the Guadalupe Mountains and a considerable area of plains.
Beneath the mapped area, but not exposed on the surface, are rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Early Permian. Overlying the Precambrian rocks is the Bliss Sandstone of Ordovician age. The Bliss is overlain by the Lower Ordovician El Paso Formation. The El Paso, in turn, is overlain, in the eastern part of the area, by a unit which is tentatively correlated with the Middle Ordovician Simpson Group of Oklahoma. Under much of the report area, however, the El Paso is overlain by the Montoya Dolomite of Late Ordovician age. Above the Montoya is the Fusselman Dolomite of Silurian age, which is overlain by a unit that is tentatively correlated with the Percha Shale of Late Devonian age. Above the Percha (?) is cherty limestone of Mississippian age, which is overlain by a unit correlated with the Upper Mississippian Helms Formation. Pennsylvanian rocks in the report area range in thickness from 0 to more than 4,000 feet. Both the lithology and thickness of the Pennsylvanian rocks were influenced by Pennsylvanian tectonic movements within the area and are highly variable.
Permian rocks of the area are divided from southeast to northwest into three facies: Delaware basin, basin margin, and Northwest shelf. The basin rocks are mainly confined to the subsurface, whereas the basin-margin and shelf rocks are widely exposed. In the basin, the lowest Permian rocks are referred to the Wolfcamp Series. Next above is the Bone Spring Limestone assigned to the Leonard Series. The Bone Spring is overlain by the Brushy Canyon, Cherry Canyon, and Bell Canyon Formations of the Delaware Mountain Group which is assigned to the Guadalupe Series. Overlying the Delaware Mountain Group is the Castile Formation of the Ochoa Series. A solution breccia which was mapped with the upper part of the Castile Formation probably represents the Salado Formation. This breccia is overlain by the basal part of the Rustler Formation of the Ochoa Series, the youngest Permian formation in the area.
In the basin-margin area, the Wolfcamp Series is represented by a broad transition zone in which rocks of the basin facies grade into all but the uppermost part of the Hueco Limestone of the Northwest-shelf area. The Leonard Series in the basin-margin area is represented by the Victorio Peak Limestone and Cutoff Shale. An unconformity representing Brushy Canyon time separates the Cutoff from the overlying shelfward-projecting sandstone tongue of the Cherry Canyon Formation. This tongue is overlain by the Goat Seep Dolomite which grades basinward into the Cherry Canyon Formation. The Goat Seep is overlain by the Capitan Limestone. The Capitan is subdivided into a massive member and a breccia member which are transitional into one another both laterally and vertically. The breccia member grades southeastward into the Bell Canyon Formation of the Delaware basin.
In the Northwest-shelf area the lowest Permian formation is the Hueco Limestone. Most of the Hueco is equivalent to basin rocks of the Wolfcamp Series, but the uppermost part may be of early Bone Spring age. Overlying the Hueco is the Yeso Formation which is laterally equivalent to most of the Victorio Peak Limestone. Above the Yeso is the San Andres Limestone. The basal part of the San Andres may grade into the uppermost part of the Victorio Peak; part of it grades into the Cutoff Shale. The medial part of the San Andres apparently has no equivalent in the basin-margin area and seems to be equivalent to the Brushy Canyon Formation of the Delaware basin. The uppermost part of the San Andres grades laterally into the sandstone tongue of the Cherry Canyon Formation. Shelf rocks equivalent to the Goat Seep Dolomite are the Grayburg and Queen Formations which are the lower two formations of the Artesia Group. The Queen is overlain by the Seven Rivers, Yates, and Tansill Formations, which are the upper three formations of the Artesia Group and are laterally equivalent to the Capitan Limestone. The carbonate facies of the Artesia Group, near the basin margin, grades laterally northwestward into an evaporite facies within which the five formations are also distinguished.
Fragments of rock remaining from an ancient sinkhole fill in the Castile Formation contain Cretaceous fossils. Conglomeratic sandstone found in the Guadalupe Mountains in sandstone dikes and shallow sink fills also may be of Cretaceous age. Three small igneous dikes constitute the only Tertiary rock exposed in the area. Quaternary deposits include gravel of Pleistocene age, and alluvium and calcareous tufa deposits of Recent age.
The oldest known structural feature in the report area is the buried northwestward-trending Huapache thrust-fault zone of Pennsylvanian age. The southwest side of the zone was uplifted relative to the northeast side intermittently throughout Pennsylvanian time. The resultant relief had a profound effect on Pennsylvanian sedimentation and also seems to have affected Lower Permian sedimentation. During the Permian the Bone Spring arch formed in the shelf area along the margin of the Delaware basin. This arch strongly influenced Permian deposition. Cenozoic structural features include folds, faults, joints, and unusual linear features in the Castile Formation. Early Cenozoic folding resulted in anticlines and synclines approximately parallel to the trend of the Capitan Limestone. Probably late in the Cenozoic, concurrent with the main uplift of the Guadalupe Mountains, a monocline and closely associated dome were formed over the old Huapache thrust zone. Most of the faulting in the area also occurred during the uplift of the mountains. The faults, all of which are in the western part of the area, are nearly all normal and trend north to northwest. The largest faults have stratigraphic displacements of about 800 feet.
The youthful to mature landforms and the drainage of the area are directly related to the structure and character of the underlying rocks, but they may be partly controlled by an old superimposed drainage system. An extensive limestone cave system, which includes Carlsbad Cavern, was developed principally during an earlier erosion cycle and has been partly exhumed by the modern drainage system.
The earliest geologic event indicated in the area is a probable orogeny that occurred relatively late in the Precambrian. During latest Precambrian and earliest Cambrian time, the area was reduced to a peneplane. From very late in the Cambrian Period or very early in the Ordovician until the end of the Mississippian, the area was inundated by several incursions of shallow seas. Faulting and, possibly, folding occurred during the Pennsylvanian Period and affected Pennsylvanian and Early Permian sedimentation. Sinking of the Delaware basin may have begun in the Pennsylvanian Period or somewhat earlier, but its effects on sedimentation within the report area were most pronounced in the Permian. Differences in depositional environments between the Northwest-shelf area and the basin are reflected by facies changes in Permian rocks. While dominantly clastic sediments were being deposited in the basin, dolomite, limestone, siltstone, and evaporites were deposited on the shelf to the northwest. The intervening basin-margin area was at various times the site of lime-bank deposition and barrier-reef growth. Deposition in the basin-margin area was affected by intermittent mild folding. Toward the end of Permian time the waters of the Delaware basin became more saline, thus causing the end of barrier-reef growth at the basin margin. Evaporite deposits filled the Delaware basin, after which evaporites, dolomite, and clastics were deposited over the basin and the adjacent shelf. The area probably remained above sea level from latest Permian time until late in Early Cretaceous time when a shallow sea apparently advanced over the area once again. This sea retreated early in Late Cretaceous time. Late in the Cretaceous Period or very early in the Tertiary Period, the area was affected by broad epeirogenic uplift. Following this uplift, the ancestral drainage of the area was established and cave solution began. The main uplift of the Guadalupe Mountains probably took place late the Pliocene or early in the Pleistocene, and the present geomorphic features have evolved since that time.
Small amounts of oil are produced from the Bell Canyon Formation in the Black River field. Elsewhere, commercial quantities of gas have been discovered in Pennsylvanian rocks in several wells. About 70 unsuccessful exploratory holes have been drilled in the report area. Most of these are shallow holes drilled in the Delaware basin. Important reserves of oil may be present in the Delaware basin and in the shelf area. Mineral deposits of potential value include gypsum and sodium sulfate. Ground-water availability in the area is variable, depending on local geologic conditions. In some areas, ground water is virtually nonexistent, whereas, in others, considerable quantities of water of fair quality are available at shallow depths.

Peter & Jenna - Doctor Who World Tour - Cardiff, Wales - August 7, 2014
This is the friendship I aspire to have
From what I've gathered, Peter Capaldi is a huge fan of Doctor Who that pretended to be a huge Moffat stan until he'd signed an airtight contract, at which point he revealed he hates the direction Moffat was taking the show he loves, plans to systematically undo it to the best of his ability, has been openly mocking and refusing the participate in parts of the script he doesn't think are true to the character, and insisting that they "won't chase him off this show," which is basically saying "this town ain't big enough for the both of us."
I think the new season of Doctor Who is going to be glorious.
"..to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly the most popular, great painter of all time. The most beloved, his command of colour most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived."

Class 8 orders continue to fall
| May 07, 2012 |
FTR Associates on Friday, May 4, released preliminary data showing April Class 8 truck total net orders at 16,877 units, the lowest number since September 2010 and 55 percent below the same month a year ago. Preliminary order numbers are for all major North American OEMs. April orders continue the downward trend in Class 8 orders for 2012, with annualized units for the past three months now at 234,600.
"A four-month trend is certainly significant, and it is causing many in the industry to question their assumptions of growth for 2012," says Eric Starks, FTR president. "Now that we are through the typical ordering season, we expect orders to remain in the sub-20K level through the summer months. If the truck OEMs don't scale back their build plans for the second half of the year, then we are likely to see a more significant payback once we get into 2013."

TWO young boys were missing for nearly six hours on Saturday afternoon after they got lost in Nangar National Park, 11km outside Eugowra, on The Escort Way.
The boys, aged 11 and 14, are believed to have left their family's campsite to go for a walk at around 12pm.
But after walking for a while they became disorientated and were unable to find their way out of the national park.
Police from the Cabobolas Local Area Command were called to help search for the boys, who eventually walked back to the campsite at around 5.30pm.
Duty officer Scott Russell said the boys were well when found and did not requite medical attention.

Industry analysts have suspected that adding Google+ to the social networking mix would force Facebook to up its game. And it looks like that prediction is coming true.
Facebook announced Tuesday that it tweaked its privacy settings, making them more intuitive and more clearly informing users of who will be able to see the posts and links that they put on the site. It's a move that is making Facebook's privacy settings more like those found on new rival Google+.
[ Also on InfoWorld: As Hurricane Irene nears, Americans turn to social networks. | Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter and our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
And the changes aren't one-sided in this battle of one-upsmanship.
Google this week announced that it has made a few changes to its +1 button. Google reported that when users hover over the +1 button on a Web page or article, it will show them a list of friends and online contacts who already have clicked on it. This makes Google's +1 button a lot like Facebook's Like button.
On Wednesday, Google also noted that it was adding another feature to the +1 button. Google+ users can share Web pages with people in their circles just by clicking the +1 button. When they click on it, they'll be shown a "Share on Google+" option.
"Facebook and Google, as direct competitors, are the best thing that's ever happened to social networking in terms of fueling innovation and improvements," said Dan Olds, an analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group. "When Facebook was the 800-pound gorilla and essentially unchallenged, there wasn't much urgency behind any changes. Now that there's another gorilla in the same cage, it's going to push both companies to go all out to dazzle and satisfy users."
Olds also noted that with Google+ picking up a lot of momentum at the outset, both companies will be quick to upgrade their sites, respond to frustrated users and even steal strong points from their competitor.
"It's pretty widely acknowledged that Google+ has done a better job with privacy than Facebook has, so I would expect Facebook to tweak its privacy settings to fix it," he added. "And Google sees that Facebook has a quick and easy way to rate things, so they spiff up their +1 button. We're going to see a lot of this type of activity."
Rob Enderle, an analyst at Enderle Group, said this kind of heated competition will force a leapfrogging effect that will only benefit users, who will get new features and more attention to their gripes.

The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Blackby E. B. Hudspeth
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Philadelphia, the late 1870s. A city of gas lamps, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages—and home to the controversial surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a grave robber, young Dr. Black studies at Philadelphia's esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: What if the world's most celebrated mythological beasts — mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs — were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind?
The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from a childhood spent exhuming corpses through his medical training, his travels with carnivals, and the mysterious disappearance at the end of his life. The second book is Black's magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray's Anatomy for mythological beasts — dragons, centaurs, Pegasus, Cerberus — all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations. You need only look at these images to realize they are the work of a madman. The Resurrectionist tells his story.
"Hudspeth provides the biography of fictional 19th-century scientist and surgeon Spencer Black, whose work takes a dark turn when he develops a theory that birth defects are latent body memories — the body's attempt to return to some earlier, more 'perfect' form. Black's attempts to recreate these genetic models are described through biographical writing and excerpts from his diary, creating an image of a dreadful human who is blinded by his own faulty theories. The majority of the work is taken up with Black's magnum opus, The Codex Extinct Animalia, which contains brief descriptions of the creatures Black created, along with extensive drawings showing their appearance, skeletons, and musculature. While the textual portion of the work is horrific, the artistic portion is almost clinical in its detachment, making the interaction of the two all the more disturbing. The book is a welcome addition to any library of dark fantasy, with its beautiful portraiture and gripping description of a man's descent into perversity." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"The vivid imagery unveiled becomes the dark fantasy response to Gray's Anatomy." Filter Magazine
"Disturbingly lovely...The Resurrectionist is itself a cabinet of curiosities, stitching history and mythology and sideshow into an altogether different creature. Deliciously macabre and beautifully grotesque." Erin Morgenstern, author of The Night Circus
"A masterful mash-up of Edgar Allan Poe and Jorge Luis Borges, with the added allure of gorgeous, demonically detailed drawings. I've never seen anything quite like The Resurrectionist, and I doubt that I will ever forget it." Chase Novak, author of Breed

Rhode Island Living
Brown University is located in the historic "College Hill" section of Providence, RI. It blends a wonderful historic heritage with the cultural and entertainment opportunities of a major city. Substantial communities of African-Americans, Asians, Portuguese, and Hispanics add interesting diversity.
Although the state is only 20 miles wide and 45 miles long, Rhode Island rightly deserves to be called The Ocean State with over 200 miles of beautiful coastline and spectacular beaches and parks.
Providence, a great destination in its own right, also offers easy access to lovely hiking areas, is an hour by car from Boston or Cape Cod and 3 1/2 hours from New York City or the mountains of New Hampshire. A great starting point to explore New England!
Off-Campus Housing
Most graduate students share off-campus housing in the extensive residential area surrounding the University (click here for a PDF of an "East Side" street map). Incoming graduate students are encouraged to contact current students regarding possible house-mate openings. Any e-mail inquiry regarding possible openings can be forwarded to the Geological Science graduate students via the Manager, Academic Programs & Outreach,Patricia Davey.
Off-campus options for graduate student housing should also be explored with the Auxiliary Housing Office at Brown University; their website includes information about the First-Year Graduate Housing Program, Brown-owned rental properties and the Off-Campus Housing Service (a listing service for local rental properties and neighborhoods around College Hill).
Additional information about locating off-campus housing for graduate students is available on the Graduate School website.

How to Make Healthy Chili
You won't be disappointed in this healthier version — and neither will your waistline
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Chili is one of America's favorite comfort food dishes. As it slowly simmers on the stove filling the house with warm, spicy scents, you know that you're in for a treat. Usually, large chili bowls are topped off with loads of sour cream and shredded cheese, which can be tasty, but regretful come bathing suit season. We've rounded up some helpful tips for a healthy chili and even crafted our own low-calorie recipe. You won't be disappointed in this healthier version — and neither will your waistline.
Click here to see the Healthy Chili Recipe
So, how can we make chili healthier while keeping with the same comfort and flavors that we have come to adore in a big bowl of chili? Opt for a leaner cut of ground beef, which has fewer grams of fat. Next, load up on the vegetables. Try starting your chili with a mixture of onions, carrots, and celery. Then, you can spice your chili with jalapenos or use bell peppers for a milder chili. Add some of your favorite chili spices and stew in the tomatoes and kidney beans.
To top off your healthy chili, try using plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Use reduced-fat cheese or skip the cheese altogether and opt for a mix of creamy avocado and fresh salsa instead. Sprinkle on some sliced scallions and chopped cilantro with a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor and crunch. Also, swap out the cornbread for a slice of whole wheat toast.
This recipe is hearty and protein-packed with all the same flavors of your favorite chili. Plus, it has several different vegetables and is topped with low-fat and fresh ingredients. So, try this version of a healthier chili and the fresh taste may surprise you and also prove you don't have to give up your favorite foods, just alter them to be healthier.

This is my first post on the topic of home entertaining (just one other thing I absolutely love doing), and as such, I'll do my best to keep this post as interesting, exciting, and visually fascinating as I possibly can.
The Art Of Entertaining
Entertaining is an art because as with any other form of art, entertaining simply is self-expression. Throughout the process of planning, organization and execution, you're giving your guests a glimpse of who you are, what you're passionate about, what your taste is when it comes to your wine, your tableware, your centerpiece and even your mood music. Not to mention that a lot of heart goes into the preparation of the very meal that you will serve.
No matter what the occasion or purpose is, the bottom line of home entertaining is to have a great time with family and friends, and to make it an enjoyable and memorable experience for you and your guests. Careful planning, attention to detail, creativity and a great sense of style are all keys to successful entertaining.
So Why Entertain At Home?
Because of the growing crisis in global economy, the idea of throwing get-togethers in fancy restaurants or party venues is slowly becoming less appealing and more impractical to many these days. Especially if you're not celebrating a milestone or any major occasion anyway, or you're only talking about an impromptu dinner with a small group of friends or business associates.
I believe that if you have all the elements of stylish home entertaining at your disposal, you would also rather entertain friends at home, would you not? Think about it. You won't have to rent a venue, the food will cost significantly cheaper, there will be no service charge, taxes, or tips to worry about, you dictate the starting and ending time for your party, you decorate your place however you want to, and need I even stress the benefits of privacy?
But many of us, moms especially, get intimidated by the thought of opening our homes to guests for a number of reasons — I'm not a good cook. I'm no Martha Stewart. I don't have a very nice dining set. I'm no good when it comes to presentation. I hate cleaning up after a party. The list goes on.
Well, that is why I thought of starting a series of posts on "Home Entertaining" where I give you a basic list of things you need to have in order for you to be ready for home entertaining at any given moment — whether you have three weeks to prepare, three days or three hours. This first post will focus on the elements of stylish home entertaining.
Before I begin, allow me to reiterate and lead y'all to focus on the last word of the title (of this post): Style. Yes, stress on the word "style", please. Not every Tom, Dick or Harry (or shall I say Mary, Jane and Susie?) can throw stylish parties. Sure, pretty much anyone can announce a get-together and send out lavish invitations to a battalion of pals but that alone does not guarantee a truly entertaining evening that will leave a lasting favorable impact on his guests. In this post, I'll be giving you tips on stylish home entertaining — just the way a-ha, a-ha, we Goddesses like it! A-ha! A-ha!
And so we begin…
The Dinner Table
You don't have to have a luxury dining set to impress your guests. When you're home entertaining, any decent, clean dining table will work. Just remember to invite no more guests than the number of seating you can provide. Otherwise, think of a way to rent additional chairs. If you really are concerned about the unsightly stain or scratch on the surface of your table, before you think about immediately ditching your set in exchange for a new one, consider other less costly alternatives. For example, if you have one, don't underestimate the value of your coffee table. For informal gatherings, you may set up or extend the party around the coffee table in the living room, especially if there isn't enough seats at the dinner table.
Table Linen
Throw a clean, stain-and-wrinkle-free table cloth over your dinner table. If you would like to go for a classic, neutral look, I'd say choose a white or a black table cloth (it won't hurt to keep one of each in your collection). If you think white is just too boring of a color, then, by all means, use a colored/printed/patterned cloth. It doesn't even have to be made from an opulent fabric. If you want a more formal look, choose a length that goes all the way to the floor, making sure the legs of the table are completely hidden from your guest's view.
If you don't have a full cloth, or if you don't want to completely cover up your table, there's always the option of using a table runner. You may spread it across a bare table or over a full table cloth.
Another alternative is to invest in really pretty place mats. Place mats are very versatile being that it works well with or without a table cloth or a table runner to match. If your place mats did not come with a matching table runner but you intend to use it along with another table runner or cloth that you already have, make sure to use a set that goes well with the color or design of your runner/cloth to create a cohesive look.
Make sure your table napkins also match your table cloth, runner or place mats.
If table napkin folding is not your talent, invest in a set of gorgeous napkin rings for a more elegant presentation. Napkin rings are wonderful decorative accents so don't be afraid to go unconventional with these babies.
The basics consist of a dinner plate, a salad plate and a soup bowl. I suggest you purchase a separate set of dessert plates, as well as cups and saucers for after-dinner coffee and tea. Later on, especially if you are likely to be throwing a more formal gathering in the near future, I suggest that you also add bread-and-butter plates to your collection. A bread-and-butter plate is smaller than a salad plate but only slightly bigger than a saucer, without the circular indentation in the center, and as the name obviously indicates, it's a plate for serving your butter and dinner rolls.
Your collection should have the basics: a salad fork, a dinner fork and spoon, a dessert/tea spoon and a knife. Eventually, you should also add a dessert fork, a fish fork and knife, and a bread knife. Whether stainless or silver (uh…gold, you say? Well, there you go, Goddess!), it's important to properly care for and store your flatware so you may be able to enjoy it a lot longer and won't have to often replace it with a new set. Clean silver with a silver cloth and wash them separately from any other metal as this may cause a chemical reaction that causes discoloration. Polish away any stains on your flatware by using a reputable silver polish.
Your collection should include the basics — a water goblet, a highball or juice glass, a red wine glass and a white wine glass (trust me, they're two different glasses). Mixing a tablespoon of vinegar with your rinsing water helps the water evaporate off the glass quickly and generally won't leave streaks. Wipe dry or polish your glassware with a dry terry cloth to keep it squeaky clean and free of streaks.
The Buffet/Console Table
The buffet cabinet is not just for storing your dinnerware collection, nor is a console table found only in entryways and living rooms as a place for displaying your framed photos, lamps, flower vases and other decorative ornaments. They can also double as your actual buffet tables. Use your buffet to hold your chafing dishes and serving platters. Your console can hold extra plates, your flatware caddy or use it as a beverage bar.
Use serving bowls, trays and platters.
Use chafing dishes for a more elegant food presentation and to keep the food warm throughout the party.
Don't forget your serving utensils so that guests won't have to use their own spoons to dig into the food.
Serve your drinks using beverage servers such as pitchers, carafes, decanters or dispensers.
For Extra Elegance, Entirely Optional
For an added touch of elegance, you may also consider using charger plates to dress up your dinner table, an ice bucket with scoop that you can place right beside your beverage server, a napkin holder (if you're opting to use paper napkins instead of cloth napkins, and a flatware caddy which would be a very beautiful way of organizing and displaying your flatware, if you're not gonna put them on the table for your place settings. Also, to prevent food sauces from getting onto your buffet/console tops, use spoon rests as a place to lay your serving utensils.
The Dinner Place Setting
So there you go, friends. These are all the basic must-haves of entertaining with style. My advice is that you don't wait until your next party to run to the mall to get some of these must-haves. As the budget permits, I suggest that you start shopping ASAP for whichever is your top-most priority among the elements I mentioned above, and then gradually build your collection. Soon, you'll be ready to throw a fabulous party at your home any time. Remember though that it takes more than the aesthetics to set the tone for a stylish home entertaining. Don't forget to set the mood with candles and soft music, and don't neglect your appearance either. Just because you spent half the day prepping your place and setting the table and the buffet, and cooking the meal, doesn't mean you should look and smell like you just did. Make sure to give yourself enough time to jump into the shower, dress up and put on your makeup before your party starts.
Have fun!

great & very informative MyMy…for those who would want to start entertaining at home with a touch of class & elegance, this article will surely be a big help to them…
also, just my two cents, settings from table cloth/runners/place mats to dinnerwares don't have to be expensive…be creative instead…just NEVER use plastic unless it's a kids party.

Using watches in my devtools workflow
I've recently found that I'm able to optimise my workflow inside of devtools using "Watch Expressions" which I've found (for me) is often left untouched.
Using watches
The video below works through the real example where I'm using watches to get visual feedback whilst developing.
The console up/enter workflow
Typically if I had a bug, I would use the console to re-run my code and check the result until it worked. Since I'm already editing functional code that's being live-updated inside V8 it means my workflow is already pretty slick.
But this cursor up, enter workflow can be improved. The code that I'm running in the console can actually be moved to the watch expressions panel.
Changing my workflow
With my expression in the watch expressions panel, and whilst I'm still in a paused state of execution in the code, I can go ahead and edit the code directly inside devtools, and each time I hit save on the file, V8 will reload the function in memory, and my watch updates, which gives me a real-time preview of the result. And that's it. Very neat.
You should follow me on Twitter here I'll tweet about JavaScript, HTML 5 and other such gems (amongst usual tweet-splurges) or if you find my work useful, or even both!

I purchased this product in an XL based upon the reviews. I am 5'4", 130 lbs. It was HUGE! It is also much heavier than I expected. If I needed a beautiful robe in a colder climate (not SC) I would have exchanged it for a smaller size. Since that is not the case I did return the XL.

This robe is my new favorite. The fabric is soft, drapes beautifully, and there is enough of it to cover you up. The kimono style means that it wraps from one side all the way to the same spot on the other side. You wrap the right side to the left and then vice versa. then you tie the belt. Because it wraps so far around, it doesn't gap in the front if you sit down and cross your legs. I washed it in warm and dried it on low and it came out of the dryer wrinkle free.. It is a medium weight which is what I wanted. You'll love it.

I had to exchange this robe for a larger size because it is narrow in the hips and broad in the shoulders. It's still tight in the hips, but at least I can wear it now (sleeves rolled up). It's not a full-length robe either if that's what you're looking for. It's meant for getting out of the shower more than lounging. But if you use a lot of fabric softener, it's okay.

Just lovely. I bought the lilac one for myself and this color for my friend. She and her husband going on a second honeymoon and wanted something for a beach cover. She loved this. I love mine. These are so nice and soft. I use mine coming out of the shower. I am not very big but this will fit larger girls too with the velcro closure. I love the coolness with the open spa wrap and could wear this all day. Very absorbant.

Some titles are temporary. Others – such as "child of God," or "parent," are life-long, even eternal. Realizing the full meaning of this statement doesn't come automatically.
Hopefully you've taken time to mourn, not the loss of your child, but the completion of one stage in life. During this time you might have felt like your job as a parent was through, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
By now, you've realized that you're not done being a parent, even in the active sense. Your ministry to your child has changed. You've caught your second wind, and hopefully taken some time for yourself in the process. Way to go!
Here are some ways to come along side your child, even from afar.

Once upon a time, I thought that tortillas could be one of our "compromise" foods. Hubby eats a LOT of them, and I figured they can't have that many ingredients, so I decided that they could be something that I would purchase, rather than make at home.
Until the fateful day when I merrily pushed my cart up the bread aisle and decided to glance at the ingredient list on the back of the bag before plopping them into my cart.
Boy, was I ever wrong! There is an entire paragraph of ingredients, many of them unrecognizable and hard to pronounce. Not to mention all the hydrogenated oils…
So I set out to make them at home. I found that tortillas made with white flour were fairly easy, but of course, not as nutritious, so I ventured into whole wheat. After lots of tweaking, I've settled on a whole wheat tortilla recipe that my family loves!
As an added bonus, these are sourdough, which makes the grains more digestible.
Whole Wheat Sourdough Tortillas
- 2 cups (more or less) whole wheat flour. I prefer hard white or hard red. I've tried spelt, but really struggled rolling them out.
- 3 Tablespoons melted coconut oil OR butter OR bacon fat. Heat it just until melted. Don't allow it to become too hot.
- 1 t. sea salt
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter. (Does not need to be at the peak of it's activity.)
- 1/2 cup milk or whey (water works too, but milk/whey yields a softer end result)
- Pinch of ginger and citric acid- Optional- (After reading this post at Tammy's Recipes, I try to always add a few natural dough conditioners to my whole wheat products. It seems to help soften them. However, if you don't have them, don't sweat it.)
In a medium bowl, mix together the sourdough starter, milk, salt, ginger, citric acid, and melted oil.
Slowly add the flour. Depending on your flour and the moisture of your sourdough starter, you may need more or less than the two cups. Adding too much flour will result in a dry, crumbly tortilla. Not enough flour with yield a tortilla that is impossible to roll out. Find your happy medium. Use your hands to mix the dough so you can get a feel of where you are at.
Once your dough is slightly sticky, but no longer a wet mess, turn it out on a floured countertop and knead for 2-3 minutes. You don't need to knead it as long as bread dough, you are just looking to develop enough elasticity to successfully roll it out later.
Allow to sour at room temperature for 8-10 hours or overnight.
Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat. Divide the dough into 6-8 pieces, depending on your size preferences. If the dough is hard to handle at this point, you can either coat your countertop and hands with oil or knead a little unbleached, white flour into the dough.
Roll into a thin circle and carefully transfer to the skillet.
Cook for 15-40 seconds on each side. You'll know it's ready to flip when bubbles appear and the edges of the tortillas look "firm".
Transfer to a plastic bag for storage in the fridge or freezer.
These are best if eaten or frozen within a day or two. If you keep them around much longer than that, they really dry out. To reheat, place them in a warm skillet for 10-20 seconds on each side. Microwaving usually equals a rubbery tortilla, so I steer away from that.
Our favorite way to eat these is in taco or burrito form- complete with grass-fed taco meat, homemade refried beans, sour cream, and lots of shredded cheese!
And sometimes if I'm craving something sweet, I'll heat one, spread some butter and homemade jam inside and roll it up.
What are your favorite ways to eat tortillas?
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (hard white or hard red)
- 3 Tablespoons melted coconut oil/butter/or bacon fat heated until just melted
- 1 t. sea salt
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup milk or whey (water works too, but milk/whey yields a softer end result)
- Optional: Pinch of ginger and citric acid
- In a medium bowl, mix sourdough starter, milk, salt, ginger, citric acid, and melted oil
- Slowly add flour using hands to mix dough (Adding too much flour results in a dry, crumbly tortilla, while not enough flour makes it difficult to roll out)
- Once dough is slightly sticky, knead 2-3 minutes on a floured countertop to develop elasticity
- Allow to sour at room temperature 8-10 hours or overnight
- Preheat skillet to medium-high heat
- Divide dough into 6-8 pieces
- (If the dough is too hard to handle, coat your countertop and hands with oil or knead a little more flour into the dough)
- Roll into thin circle and carefully transfer to skillet
- Cook 15-40 seconds on each side
- Flip when bubbles appear and the edges look firm

Canarian sophistication
On the southern tip of Gran Canaria, Maspalomas is a quieter, more sophisticated version of its neighbour, Playa del Ingles. Instead of big shopping centres and starry-eyed nightclubs, it serves up first-class restaurants and designer boutiques – all next to a standout strip of beach.
Long beaches and sweeping sand dunes
The Blue Flag beach at Maspalomas is 6 kilometres long, and 100 metres wide in places. It has a great choice of watersports and there are seafront cafés, bars and restaurants in walking distance. Best of all, the whole scene is backdropped by wave upon wave of Saharan-sized dunes, 400 hectares in total, criss-crossed by camels.
The lighthouse
Far and away the biggest landmark is El Faro de Maspalomas, the 68-metre lighthouse at the edge of the beach. It's attached to a period-style keeper's inn and set in lush gardens. Aside from alerting waylaid seafarers, it also draws holidaymakers to its long Boulevard El Faro that's crammed with cocktail bars, designer shops and restaurants.
Days out
Maspalomas has a great line-up of days out. For starters, there's Aqualand, with its cast of corkscrews, kamikazes and friendly sea lions. There's also Sioux City, a Wild West theme park built on the site of a film set. Both are just 10 minutes away. And for golf lovers, there's an 18-hole course overlooking the Maspalomas sand dunes.

With a show like True Blood, death is an inevitable occurrence in the vampire-ridden town of Bon Temp. Usually our favorite characters always seem to escape the grim reaper's weekly visits — but all of that is about to change. When the HBO hit premieres this Sunday, fans will be shocked with a huge death that will set the tone for a heart-pounding sixth season.
So who is the unlucky soul that will be leaving Louisiana for good? We can't reveal that just yet — but we can tell you that this fan favorite character dies in the most unexpected way possible. Our jaws are still on the floor from this deceiving twist, and we guarantee yours will be too.
When we last saw our favorite bloodsuckers, Bill was chugging the entire vile of the vampire goddess Lilith's blood, and now things have reached a new level of strange for Sookie's former flame. New powers, erratic behavior, and insane visions are just a few of the side-effects that Bill will be dealing with as Season 6 begins.
While Bill is facing these new changes, Sookie is trying to distance herself from her former beau as much as possible. Let's face it, he has caused her enough sorrow at this point and she is busy dealing with her own supernatural snags as the creepy old vampire, Warlow, continues to haunt her.
And as for the rest? Here are a few teasers to prepare you for what's to come: Eric turns his back on his protégée Pam, Jason starts seeing dead people, Sam and Luna team up for a challenging mission, and Alcide learns what being a pack master is more dangerous than he thought. Now that we've witnessed the brutal death of this major character it's clear that the violently jolting series is spiraling into the darkest season we've even seen.
Ready for your television screen to drip in blood once more? True Blood bites back with the premiere of Season 6 this Sunday, June 16 at 9 PM on HBO.

Ebooks Outsell Booky Books. So What?
The popularity of ebooks has readers spoilt for choice but among books of questionable quality. Amazon's latest move could lead ebooks to real legitimacy in the literary world.
May 22, 2011 2:19 by Alex McNabb
With the news that ebooks have now outsold booky books, we can perhaps now recognise the tipping point has been reached.
One fascinating report I've seen of this year's London Book Fair neatly paints a picture of an industry reeling as it comes to terms with the ferocity of the changes taking place around it. More and more writers are taking to putting their works up on the Kindle store and other self publishing platforms rather than go through the relentless round of submissions and rejections that getting published entails.
HarperCollins CEO Brian Murray, speaking at the LBF, called this time 'a watershed'. Murray was noting that sales of a number of HC's front list titles were running at over 50% on ebook formats – he also noted that the growth in e-readers (to 40 million) was having a disproportionate effect on the market because e-readers had reached 'core' readers, people who buy over twelve books a year.
There are reports of Amazon employing editors and seeking an editorial director. This is interesting precisely because if Amazon decided to have its own imprint, it could pick from the many new titles being uploaded to the Kindle e-book store and take the best of them and place them under its powerful marketing wing – with editors guaranteeing the quality of books under that imprint.
That would address one major complaint of the post-ebook era – the lack of qualitative guarantees where so many authors now have direct access to the market without the checks and balances of editors and the like. Yes, this gives a more egalitarian market with greater choice for readers (and less Katie Price schlock being pushed in our faces), but it also atomises the market (there is such a thing as overwhelming choice) and makes it potentially hard for readers to work out when a book is total rubbish. I have to confess, of my current crop of 34 Kindle books, one non-fiction title turned out to be a rip-off project.
But with editorial input, an imprint, Amazon could possibly create something a little like Authonomy done right. Everyone's uploading their books, the best of those books are plucked out and given sheen by Amazon, which could sell books under its imprint at a premium (because you know they're good) and effectively become its own publishing house. Now a publishing house that owns the majority of the distribution medium becomes interesting. It would be like one publisher owning every high street bookstore (remember them?).
It's also potentially massively anti-competitive, but that's another kettle of frogs.

Braishfield affordable homes debate
7:00am Monday 10th March 2014 in News
A CONTROVERSIAL scheme to build nine affordable homes at Braishfield will be debated by Test Valley's Southern Area Planning Committee tomorrow (Tuesday).
The proposals include four one-bedroom and five two-bedroom homes on grazing land near the Wheatsheaf pub in Braishfield Road.
Council officers are recommending permission for the application submitted by Christopher Buchan-Hepburn.
Braishfield Parish Council, Romsey and District Society and 35 individuals have objected to the plans – some claiming there is not a need for the proposed development because more than 300 affordable homes are being built at nearby Abbotswood. There have been at least five letters supporting the scheme.

Sainsbury's steps up fight over Tesco's Price Promise
Sainsbury's is stepping up its fight against Tesco's Price Promise campaign in a long-running row over comparisons between the two firm's products.
Britain's third-biggest supermarket chain is to take its battle into the courtroom, by requesting a judicial review against a ruling by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) that rejected its complaint over the Tesco pledge.
The move comes after Sainsbury's lost an appeal against the ASA decision earlier this month, when a report by the watchdog's independent reviewer Sir Hayden Philips backed the ASA findings.
Mike Coupe, Sainsbury's commercial director, said it was "time to take a stand" on behalf of customers to ensure shopping decisions are not just based on price, but also factors such as ethics and provenance.

A new and improved location for the Gun Rack in Aiken featuring a gun range for those who are looking to get in a little practice.
For years, Gun Rack has been in the heart of Downtown Aiken but now it's new location is on Edgefield Highway.
Owners of the shop say it's an ideal place for those looking to practice in Aiken.
"We finally think we've found the right location," said Chuck Scott, who co-owns Gun Rack with his wife. "So, we went ahead and built this range. We wanted to have a clean facility. A place that could be fun, safe, and have family entertainment, without having to drive for 20-30 minutes. We think we've achieve that."

The apartment and condominium housing market improved of the fifth consecutive quarter, according to the Multifamily Production Index (MPI) from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
The MPI tracks the sentiment of builders and developers about the multifamily market on a scale of 0 to 100, with a number over 50 indicating that more respondents see conditions improving than report conditions are worsening.
The MPI increased from 44.4 in the second quarter of 2011 to 47.3 in the third quarter of 2011 – the highest the index has reached since the fourth quarter of 2005.
The index's three components and their 3Q 2011 levels:
• builder and developer perceptions of market-rate rental properties recorded an all-time high of 63.8
• low-rent units remained steady at 50.1
• for-sale units rose to 31.9, the highest recording since the second quarter of 2006
"Multifamily construction continues to be the bright spot in the overall housing market," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "While household formations have been below trend, those who are forming new households are becoming renters and this trend is likely to continue until consumers' confidence returns."
"Apartments and condominiums play an integral role in the overall housing market, now more than ever," said Stillman Knight, chairman of NAHB's Multifamily Council Board of Trustees and president and CEO of the Knight Company of Alexandria, VA. "The construction of these units not only brings jobs to local communities, but also provides an adequate stock of housing for areas with rapid population growth."
Expectations for the next six months improved in the third quarter for market-rate rental properties, up to 67.2, and for-sale properties, up to 37.3, respectively. Expectations for low-rent units decreased slightly, to 50.2.
The Multifamily Vacancy Index (MVI), which measures the multifamily housing industry's perception of vacancies, decreased from 36.1 in 2Q 2011 to 35.1 in 3Q 2011. Lower numbers in the MVI indicate fewer vacancies. The MVI has improved considerably since peaking at 70.2 in 2Q 2009.
