Slide Show: Chunky Knit Sweaters

Ahhhh sweater weather. That time of year where you get to essentially wear a big fuzzy blanket on your body and pretend it's clothing. It's the only thing that makes another rainy Oregon day bearable. Well that, and maybe a Hot Toddy. The runway masters deem chunky knits are the way to go this year with an emphasis on layering. The need-it knits are quick and easy looks paired with skinny jeans and boots or just a giant sweater dress with textured tights. Don'...

Wedding: 8/3/2013
The flowers for my wedding were absolutely beautiful. We had many different arrangements and they all looked great! We really enjoyed working with Aberdeen's; the people are extremely helpful, friendly, and quick to respond to any questions I had. The flowers were delivered on time and set up perfectly. The flowers easily lasted all night and beyond. My guests loved the arrangements so much, many of them were taken home to enjoy.
Wedding: 8/17/2013
I offered to give my sister her flowers for her wedding.
I contracted with Aberdeens, and they really blew our minds away.
We were all at my mothers home, getting ready, and when the fowers showed up, it was like we were at a concert - all the girls started screaming. They were fantastic, I highly recommend them.
Everything was fresh and on time.
Great experience.
Wedding: 7/6/2013
A little sketchy on follow up and communication, but once the day came - everything was perfect! If you're looking for a florist, do NOT go to your local FTD - use a WEDDING florist...Aberdeens is the only one in our area!
Wedding: 8/9/2014
When I signed the contract with Aberdeens, I thought I had gotten a great deal with great customer service. I bought a package that included flowers for the church that could be re-used for the ceremony. However, when the wedding was a week away, two different people (one being the owner, another being the designer) called to verify my order. Both got it incorrect. I was getting anxiety about their service level since we had reviewed the order several times. I paid $75 extra to have them deliver the flowers from the church to the reception so that my mom or guests did not need to worry about it. Before the ceremony, the driver dropped the flowers off at the church and asked my groom where to put everything and commented that she didn't know how we were getting everything to the reception - and she left. They did not put the large long and low at the altar, and they did not put the roses for the moms or Ave Maria at the altar. Nobody saw them so they went unused. Then after the ceremony my mom was stressed about who was moving the flowers to the reception. My guest had to do this. I would have never paid the extra $75 or bought the package for the church flowers had I known they would screw up and none of it was used. The lack of delivery to the reception caused extra stress and confusion while we were taking family photos at the altar. I would never recommend Aberdeens. They are cheaper but you pay for what you get. They work on volume so they don't care if your order is correct. There is very poor customer service. After my honeymoon I called the owner to express my concerns and demand my $75 and she never called me back. Finally the designer called me back. Three weeks later, I'm still waiting for that $75 check. I do not recommend this florist.
Wedding: 7/11/2014
Paula from Aberdeens definitely made everything super easy for me and the arrangements and bouquets were gorgeous! I have to say I was honestly overwhelmed with the idea of picking the flowers for the wedding as that is definitely not something I am familiar with. I gave Paula my color scheme and she ran with it. She went through a lot of great options with me and showed plenty of examples to help me narrow down what I wanted. Everything turned out beautiful and I received a lot of compliments from the guests and bridal party about how they looked. I would definitely recommend going with them for your wedding!
Wedding: 8/1/2014
My flowers for my wedding this past Friday were absolutely gorgeous! Joe did a great job and listened to my ideas. It was exactly what I wanted and the bridesmaids flowers were different shades of purple with perfect amount of bling! The guys had purple calla lilies also with bling and it stood out wonderfully! They were also so reasonably priced and I'm so happy!! Thank you!!
Wedding: 6/28/2014
Can't say enough about Aberdeens! The flowers for my wedding were fantastic! From the bouquet's, mother's flowers, boutonniere's, alter flower and flowers for the cake, everything was perfect. The staff at Aberdeen's is very easy to work with and paid special attention to my needs and wants to give me the extra special something for my wedding day. The quality of flowers that were used were absolutely stunning and held up through all the heat and humidity the day of my wedding. Aberdeens was very reasonably priced and worth every penny!
Wedding: 5/2/2014
Floral arrangements were beautiful. Service was ok. Had to switch who I consulted with and had to return all vases following ceremony.
Wedding: 4/18/2014
Our flowers were beautiful. However, if you decide to go to Aberdeen's make sure you ask about what kind of holder they will be using for the bride's flowers. My flower's looked amazing but they had a defect in their oasis holder which caused some of my flowers to come out throughout the day. They did apologize and are supposed to issue us a credit. The bridesmaid's flowers looked great as well. I wasn't all that pleased with the church arrangements but it was a miscommunication on what I wanted vs what they thought I wanted. The quality and price was great though, I just wish they would have used a better holder for my bridal bouquet.
Wedding: 3/8/2014
My bridal bouquet was absolutely gorgeous and very unique. My color scheme was a little complex as I had a rainbow theme color of sorts and each bridesmaid and groomsmen partner/couple had a different accent color for their flowers. Both the bridesmaid bouquets and the groomsmen boutineers were beautiful. I had ivory roses with various colors of princess orchids in mixed in with the roses.
The service was wonderful every time I called, and their prices were hard to beat. I had been to many florists in the area and most were charging 2-3 times as much and were nowhere near as helpful. I have already recommended them to a number of couples getting married in the next year.
Wedding: 10/19/2013
Aberdeen's will do a fair job for you, but if you have anything that you want in particular, you will need to be very specific with them. My bridal bouquet was perfect, but the bridesmaids bouquets were on the small side. The centerpieces were ok - but I would have liked to see them with a little more attention to detail. They provided what I asked for but if I had known that I needed to be so specific, I would have done so. They also failed to provide the flowers for one part of our ceremony which we paid for.
If you are ok with micro-managing, go with them. Otherwise, I'm sure you can do better with another florist.
Wedding: 10/5/2013
Wedding: 7/6/2013
This company was great to work with. They were very accommodating and the staff was very friendly. I loved my bridal bouquet. They gave us a great deal and changed their packages to accommodate the number of bridesmaids I had. However, I was not super thrilled with our flowers. The flowers of my bridal bouquet were already starting to die. And the bridesmaids bouquets did not turn out the way I was imagining. My centerpieces, however, were beautiful and I loved them. They were exactly what I had imagined, and they worked with me to get the best deal.
Wedding: 6/29/2013
Aberdeen's provided beautiful flowers for my wedding! I was very pleased with visual aspect of this business deal, but the representative that was sent was very rude to us. She arrived to deliver flowers to my house the morning of the wedding and I had to tell her which parts of the order were to be delivered to the house and which were supposed to be delivered to the church. She also misplaced a corsage and one of my special guests ended up not having one for the wedding. The Aberdeen's representative also made an inconsiderate comment about my Grandfather who had just passed away a week before the wedding. Maybe she was having a rough day, but it is not the time to be rude to a bride and her family on the wedding day.
Wedding: 6/22/2013
We've had an ongoing horrible experience with Aberdeens! To start, I was assigned a rude consultant when I went to pick our wedding flowers. Nancy was condescending, unprofessional and instead of listening to my ideas she just insisted I use their pre-designed arrangements. I got very upset during our meeting and agreed with her just so I could get the meeting over with, and I ended up leaving in tears. I decided to cancel my order even though it meant losing my deposit, but they convinced me to change consultants. The second time around with Paula was better since she was kind and listened to my ideas, and I left feeling much better, but I was horrified when my flowers arrived the morning of my wedding!
First, flowers in both the bridesmaids and my bouquet were starting to brown and wilt! Then, the worst part were the princess orchids on the flower girl basket, mothers' corsages, and other boutonnieres. They SPRAY PAINTED them white because they didn't order enough white orchids and only had green ones! The paint was cracking and chipping off the flower so you could see the green underneath, and the white paint ended up on the men's black tuxes. Third, my bouquet was way too big! They noted on the contract that I was 5'1", so they could modify the size of the bouquet, that didn't happen. The pink flowers were also a much brighter pink than the soft/blush I thought I was getting, so we ended up just cutting out the wilting pink roses all together! This had me in tears an hour before walking down the aisle! Fourth, the groomsmen boutonnieres were huge bloomed roses instead of being tight and looked horrible. Needless to say, all boutonnieres and corsages were taken off as soon as the ceremony was over!
It goes on though! After we posted this very review, the owner Joe emailed us, asked for pictures and then admitted they 'did not meet expectations' and 'needed to offer something' to make things right. He offered us a partial refund, but two days later he emailed to say he wouldn't be sending us the refund until this review was taken down (not previously discussed), meaning he was only concerned with the review, not customer satisfaction. We agreed to remove it first if he was willing to put his offer in writing, but the last we heard from him was a threat that he would take legal action against us for writing a negative review on a review site. Very unprofessional!
Wedding: 6/7/2013
Aberdeen's was absolutely amazing. We had a baseball themed wedding, and Joe absolutely loved it. He suggested ideas, and did an excellent job incorporating it (and our special requests) without being tacky. The flowers were beautifully arranged and survived through photos, despite the fact the wedding was in June. Also, they are affordable, which is always a plus. I would definitely recommend them!
Wedding: 6/1/2013
I lived not too far from Aberdeens... always driving passed. When I started planning my wedding, I called a different florist because they were family friends. They were also super expensive. So I did a little digging and I was reminded of Aberdeens. Stupid, forgetful me! I called up and scheduled a Saturday appointment with Gloria. She is the sweetest lady! We talked about what I liked, roses and hydrangeas and peonies. Gloria explained to me that peonies get really wilty really quickly, so we axed them. She explained to me all of the wedding packages, but I didn't need all of the items in the packages, so I ordered everything a la carte. I ordered 1 bridal bouquet, 1 moh bouquet, 1 toss bouquet, 1 flower girl basket, 5 corsages, 5 plain boutineers, 4 fancy boutineers, 1 ring bearer boutineer, 1 round bowl for the head table, 18 centerpieces, and 2 large vases for the ceremony (that were then moved into the reception hall). I spent around $1,700 which is crazy cheap!
The flowers were stunning! My only advice is.... do not get the silver sparkle baby's breath. The silver glitter ended up EVERYWHERE! Oh well... it was cute.
Wedding: 11/24/2012
Aberdeens is a staple for wedding flowers for a reason. Our flowers for our November 24 wedding were absolutely stunning. The team really listened to what we wanted (and honestly, I went in with an overall vision, but knew nothing specific about flowers). Gloria took the bits and pieces we described, and created more than I could have ever imagined. Everything was where it was supposed to be, on time. The bouquets, corsages and boutineers were beautiful, the centerpieces were perfect, and the flowers for church were gorgeous. They stayed healthy throughout the day, and guests were commenting on stunning the flowers were. Thank you, Aberdeens, for your exceptional service and integral role in our wedding. You truly live up to your reputation!!!
Wedding: 11/10/2012
Our wedding flowers and centerpieces were so beautiful, and were worth the headache that came with dealing with their customer service. Once we signed our contract with their northern area rep, that was it she would never return my calls or my emails. I headed up calling their main office in Chicago and had Paula confirm all our wedding flowers. She was a lifesavor, confirmed everything and calmed me down. If you go with Aberdeens for your wedding flowers they will be breath taking, but be prepared for slow responses.
Wedding: 10/7/2012
Joe and the entire staff at Aberdeen's were a constant pleasure to work with. My flowers were beautiful. I came to them with some unusual requests, mostly that I used antique bridal baskets for my flowers instead of bouquets, and then were excited for the challenge. They were there every step of the way for set up and even came back at the end to take back the things we rented instead of us having to return them. Aberdeen's really was one of the best vendors I had.

This is where Indiana had its beginnings: where Chief Tecumseh walked; where the first governor of the Indiana Territory and ninth president of the United States lived and worked; where troops mustered for the Battle of Tippecanoe.
Vincennes and the Indiana Territory
Founded in 1732 when what is now the Midwest belonged to France, Vincennes is Indiana's oldest city. France lost the area to Great Britain, which in turn lost it to the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Congress created the Indiana Territory in 1800, with Vincennes as its capital. The new territory was much larger than the State of Indiana today, including what is now Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.
It was at Vincennes that Governor William Henry Harrison and others made decisions that influenced the future of the whole Midwest. Westward migration meant conflict with Native Americans who had a different view of land ownership and use. It meant enormous land sales, the creation of new counties and, later, new states out of the Indiana Territory.
Territory Capitol
Built in 1805 as a tailor shop, the "Red House" is a small two-story building, its heavy timber frame held together with wooden pegs.
In 1805, Indiana Territory went to the second stage of government and elected representatives. From its very beginning, Indiana had a bicameral (two house) legislature. A Legislative Council (or Senate) of five men used the upstairs room, while the nine-man House of Representatives used the downstairs room. The "Red House" was one of three buildings rented by the legislature from 1805 to 1813, and was the meeting place of the legislature in 1811, after the Battle of Tippecanoe. In 1813, the territorial government moved to Corydon, which became Indiana's first state capital when Indiana became a state in 1816.
Jefferson Academy
The Jefferson Academy tells the story of early public education. Founded in 1801 by Governor Harrison, it was the first school of higher learning in Indiana. In 1806, it became Vincennes University. Thomas Jefferson and William Henry Harrison are the only two presidents who have established colleges. Headmaster of the school was the village priest, Father Jean Francois Rivet, former professor of Latin at the Royal College of Limoges, France. Classes took place in the main room of the church rectory, with subjects such as Latin, geometry and geography.
Elihu Stout Print Shop
Elihu Stout's Print Shop represents the power of communication in westward expansion. As the country expanded westward, the distribution of information was crucial to the formation of states. In 1804, Gov. William Henry Harrison brought Elihu Stout to Vincennes to print the laws of the Indiana Territory. Stout also printed the laws the legislature enacted to govern the new Louisiana Purchase lands. In July of 1804, Stout started the Indiana Gazette, the first newspaper in Indiana, which ran for 41 years. Previously, Stout had been a journeyman printer with the Kentucky Gazette in Lexington, Kentucky.
Fort Knox II
Fort Knox II Site was an important military outpost used by the United States Army from 1803 to 1813. Captain Zachary Taylor strengthened Fort Knox with a stockade in 1811. Governor William Henry Harrison "mustered" (assembled) his army at Fort Knox II and marched up the Wabash River to the Battle of Tippecanoe at Prophetstown (near present-day Lafayette, Ind.) on Nov. 7, 1811.
Sugar Loaf Mound
Sugar Loaf Mound is a natural feature that Late Woodland Indians used as a burial mound around 900 A.D. Travelers heading to Vincennes along the Buffalo Trace from Louisville used it as a landmark. The mound also served as a marker along the Underground Railroad for slaves seeking freedom in the North.
Old State Bank
The Old State Bank helped transform Indiana from a fur-trade to agricultural economy. On Feb. 13, 1834, the Indiana General Assembly chartered the Second State Bank of Indiana, with headquarters in Indianapolis and 12 branches across the state. In addition to Vincennes, the other branches were in Indianapolis, Lawrenceburg, Richmond, New Albany, Madison, Evansville, Bedford, Terre Haute, Lafayette, Fort Wayne and South Bend.
In Vincennes, the bank began business immediately in a rented building located on First Street between Main and Vigo Streets. The State Bank moved into this building upon its completion in November 1838. The bank is in the Greek Revival style, made to look like the front of a Greek temple. The main room of the bank features six fluted columns, more than 30 feet tall, supporting a bell-shaped cupola and a hand-riveted steel vault.

Castle Comfort Lodge Review
The boats anchored just off the pier, the telltale dive log, and the guests with mask imprints on their foreheads give it all away—this is the best dive lodge in Dominica. Located 1 mile (1½ km) south of Roseau, it offers good packages with top-notch diving and family-style dining. Nondivers who don't want or need fancy amenities will find the rooms adequate and can enjoy the plunge pool, a bar that serves tropical drinks, and whale-watching cruises. The hotel also has a gift shop and two rooms that are wheelchair accessible.

A clip from 'Closer to the Moon'
Herbert Pocket - Harry Lloyd
"You get paid to play," Lloyd says of the perks of acting. "It's quite an irresponsible way to live…it's wonderfully childish."
Though history and fanboydom might remember otherwise, Viserys Targaryen is the true unsung hero of Game of Thrones. Think about it: Had it not been for him, Daenerys would have never married Khal Drogo and she wouldn't have received that carton of dragon eggs as a wedding gift. Hence, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss would not have the killer keep 'em watching show/series finale moments featuring the flying mythical beasts that keep ardent viewers, including yours truly, salivating for more.
"I'm so happy to hear someone finally appreciate him," Harry Lloyd, who gave life to the arrogant "Beggar King," tells SFR. "He gets a lot of shit. People lump him in with Joffrey and I'm like, that's a completely different kettle of fish."
Lloyd, who started reading the A Song of Ice and Fire books as soon as he was cast, felt Viserys had gotten a bad rep, as all his interactions are told from his sister's point of view.
"He doesn't get his own chapter, he's not his own narrator, so that was the great thing about the TV series—everyone gets to be their own main character," he elaborates, "and from where I was sitting, he was the main character in this book and no one really gets it; he is the king and everyone else is just faffing around."

Greene belonged to a formidable group of mothers from Watts who became a grass-roots force for community improvement after the riots, which left 34 people dead and more than 1,000 injured. The McCone Commission report on the causes of the unrest found that inadequate healthcare was a major factor. Greene made the health needs of the community the focus of her activism and, along with Watts leaders Mary Henry, Johnnie Tillman, Nona Carter and Lillian Mobley, pushed local officials to build the facility that became the Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center in nearby Willowbrook.
"She knew how important it was for our community to have a major hospital in the South-Central area. She was in the forefront of all that," said Los Angeles Sentinel Publisher Danny Bakewell, who knew Greene for 40 years.

Bakewell noted that Greene became politically active when "there wasn't a lot of recognition or acknowledgement of women, period, and particularly not black women. She was an extraordinary woman … someone the community could always count on to represent its interests."
Born March 18, 1919, in Little Rock, Ark., Greene came to Los Angeles when she was 12 to live with her uncle and cousin. She graduated from Jefferson High School, studied psychology at USC and cosmetology and culinary arts at Los Angeles Trade Technical College.
Twice married and divorced, she worked and raised a family while participating in the struggle for racial equality.
"I have picketed all my life," she told The Times in 1980. "In my 20s, I was picketing to get black men jobs on the presses at the Sentinel. In San Pedro, where I used to live, I was a beauty operator. We had the first integrated shops there in the '40s."
In the 1960s she marched for civil rights in the South and worked for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, helping to organize a local committee to build the Watts Health Foundation, which sponsored community health clinics. She also was a driving force behind the King-Drew Auxiliary, which raised funds to build the hospital and the Charles Drew University medical school.
In 1978 she became deputy director of the Area IX Council, running a training and job development program for youths interested in health careers.
For many years she was also a field deputy for the late Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, the politician most responsible for creating the King/Drew medical center, which opened in 1972. Greene later served as a trustee of the Drew medical school.
"She was the wind beneath Kenny Hahn's wings in terms of the African American community," said Rep. Diane Watson (D-Los Angeles). "She had a very keen sense of the political arena as well as the needs of the community at the grass-roots level."
In addition to her daughter, Greene is survived by two sons, Raymond Nat Turner of Oakland and Steve Fred Greene of Atlanta; six granddaughters; four grandsons; and 14 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were set for 10 a.m. Monday at Tabernacle of Faith Baptist Church, 11328 S. Central Ave., Los Angeles.

"I'm enormously proud to be part of a team that makes such a huge positive impact on the world. Durrell is an organisation with a mission I can really get behind. I feel that saving the diversity of life on our planet will be seen as increasingly important in the not-too-distant future. I genuinely believe that Durrell provide hope for those endangered animals that others may have given up on already. They 'do the seemingly impossible'; I would be truly humbled if I help to make that possible."

One scene included a security vehicle zipping out of the alley between the Ford and Penebscot buildings on Griswold. Spectators were enthralled.
The film crews and security did a lot of standing around between short filming scenes. Ben Affleck was nowhere to be seen, but there were rumors that he might be on the set tomorrow.
Crews are expected to return to the area on Friday and Saturday.

A fundraising page at JustGiving.com has been set up for fans to make donations to the cause, with the following personal message from Henry Cavill himself...
I chose to support this charity, not only because of my obvious familial connection, but because of the deep respect I have for the Royal Marines as men and as a corps.
I am taking a short break from filming to run, with 350 other participants, from Casemates Square to the 1,300ft summit of the Rock of Gibraltar.
A parking lot opposite the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse on Lafayette had signs Wednesday saying it was closed by police order. It contained a few trucks and about five giant wind fans. A spokesman for the U.S. District Court said the Fort entrance will be closed starting Thursday and through the end of the week.
At PenzDetroiT on Fort, owner Alex Lebarre said his fine pens and business case store is just outside the closed filming zone. He predicted some workers inside the closed streets might decide to take Thursday or Friday off.
The trail of hints that shooting is brewing included accumulating traffic cones, extra security guards, a parking lot closed by police orders, and so on.
Indications are that the portion of downtown bordered roughly by Lafayette and Jefferson and Cass and Griswold will be the zone of interest starting Thursday and running through the weekend.
Another report from ClickOn Detroit struggled to find out anything from Corktown...
Fan Dan Newman grabbed some video footage of Zack Snyder on location prepping the reported car chase scene that looks set to take place within the next week:
The move may well have something to do with the apparent clash over the May release date with the third "Captain America" film, although a source within Warner Bros. told The Wrap, "Not flinching - it's a fantastic corridor for us".
Warner Bros. will also release the film in 3D.
Warner Bros. also announced dates for nine untitled DC Comics films between 2016 to 2020.

by Paul Elliott
"[Vesuvio] now clearly saw that the Grove of Daphne was a love spot, a nest created from the most lucious trees, plants, and flowers of nature which composed a bordello roofed by the twinkling stars, a meeting place for sexual practices where the only price was willingness and a mutual agreement."
- Simon Finch, Pagan Voyager
I discovered the books of Simon Finch when I used to bunk off school (age 14). Avoiding maths lessons like the plague I would roam the town library and bookshops looking to satisfy my desire to read erotic literature. At 14, I figured, reading about sex was the closest I was going to get! Having a passing interest in Rome from movies like The Fall of the Roman Empire, The Robe, and Ben Hur, I spotted a book set in the reign of emperor Hadrian called Golden Voyager. And lo! It contained explicit sex scenes! The stories themselves, as well as the recreation of Rome in its decadence, was done rather well, and the explicit nature of the (prolific) sex scenes simply added to the debauchery and debasement. From that moment on I was hooked on the ancient world and Rome has forever (in my eyes) been synonymous with cruelty, sexual humiliation and pornography.
What's this got to do with adapting books to roleplaying settings? Golden Voyager was essentially my first historical novel. I've never been a prodigious reader of fiction, and so my diet of historical novels has been rather low, but I still appreciate their existence and I'm glad that there is a healthy market for characters like Cadfael and Falco.
Let's say you want to run a historical game set during the aftermath of D-Day, do you pick up The History of World War II, edited by AJP Taylor, backed up by a few books on weapons and warfare, or do you opt for Stephen E. Ambrose's bestseller, Band of Brothers? The first gives you masses of general information, maps, overviews, critical essays, lots of stats for weapons and vehicles and so on. The second gives you a close-up view of your chosen subject, as experienced by someone who was there, and focuses on personal feelings, experiences and day-to-day problems. It is (obviously) Stephen E. Ambrose's book which has the most to offer the historical GM.
When a major historical movie or TV series is commissioned, rarely does the production company hire screenwriters to come up with a good script. And rare is the screenwriter who sits down to write the true account of a certain historical event. Instead, screenwriters often turn to an already published book which they can easily adapt. Rather than flounder around trying to write the script for the Raid of Entebbe from a dozen different perspectives, the screenwriter will invariably pick up the published book of an eyewitness to the drama, and adapt it into a movie which will follow the story from that person's viewpoint. 'Based on a true story' invariably means that someone's book will be featured in the credits.
When it comes to historical roleplaying games it really does pay to utilise historical novels (which are nothing more than fictional eyewitness accounts of historical events). Yes, more generalised books give you information on religion, architecture, costume, economy and warfare, but an historical novel draws you in, it paints a 3D picture of life. You can step out of dry academic text and move into an approximation of 'real' life as it must have seemed, with emotions, politics, grudges, wonder, and beauty. My advice is to use one historical novel as a primary source for your campaign, and then a number of general non-fiction history books as reference to back it up.
My subject is the ancient world, and I've used this technique in the past (to a greater or lesser degree) with the following historical novels:
Obviously there are hundreds and hundreds of historical novels out there, and I'm sure everyone one of you has their own favourites. What I'm encouraging is not the historian's mindset of assessing all of your evidence and producing a campaign based on your final assessment. It is the novelist's mindset of following one viewpoint to the exclusion of all others, never mind the odd historical inconsistency.
Pick up the book, use the date it is set in, the locations, and even the over-arching plot. Any other resources you have at hand should be modified to fit the novel, not the other way around. If your novel is a good one (meaning it sticks to accepted historical thinking) then matching your non-fiction resources to the book shouldn't prove to be too much of a problem.
My latest adaptation involves Bernard Cornwell's Stonehenge, a book which is set circa 2000 BC and charts the building of the sarsen phase of this famous English monument. Since this is prehistory any attempt to base a campaign in this era on non-fiction archaeology books will leave massive holes in all the wrong places. We have no knowledge of language, of personal or tribal names, of names for rivers or islands, we have no certain knowledge of politics or economic practices, of religion or superstitious customs and beliefs. A well researched book like Stonehenge gives us all of that, laid out onto a sound archaeological foundation.
As I built up my 2000BC campaign, I mined the following things from Bernard Cornwell's book:
I used my non-fiction sources to back all of this up with more detail, more NPCs, and new places and locations, all following Cornwell's naming system. I designed maps that charted out Cornwell's world, and I filled in the blanks based on hints in the book and what I'd read outside of the novel. At the end of the process I had a living breathing world with a nomenclature and language all of its own, as well as a very distinct (non-academic) mindset. It had become the perfect roleplaying environment. Including elements of Stonehenge's plot (albeit set sometime in the novel's future) gave the campaign a direction, movement and energy which it otherwise would've lacked. In comparison, I see no exuberance, no dramatic imperative, and no over-arching threat to the world of 2000BC in David Souden's dry Stonehenge, Mysteries of the Stones and Landscape.
There's one more great benefit to using a single historical novel (or series) as the basis for a roleplaying campaign: player familiarity. I've always found that feeding players worthwhile information on a new historical period is a very difficult task. You have to tread a fine line between raw exposition (typed up introductory sheets, etc.) and giving setting information away 'in-game' so as not to slow down the game. A good movie set in the same era can certainly get everyone interested in the period, but is rarely enough to supply all of that detail. What does Gladiator tell you about the relationship of Roman people to their government? What does the inside of a Roman villa look like?
An historical novel, handed to a player prior to the game makes for an easy introduction to the era in question. It also combines period detail with sample character types, contemporary issues and politics and often aspects of geography. A novel isn't as accessible as either a movie or a couple of pages of the GM's notes, but it does deliver a lot of information in an enjoyable and easily digestible package. Just make sure the novel isn't an intimidating blockbuster that will never get finished. Something quick to read that may take a week or even just a weekend is perfect. If the books come in a series you could hand a different one to each player so that they are all reading at the same time and don't have to share the book.
Of course I realise that some players won't want to get this involved - but the idea is there for those groups who want to take that step.

From those tea plants, he created a drink called Harlem Honeybush, named after the village, Harlem, and its tealeaves, honeybush. But when the product went to market, it tanked. For a while, he took the product's failure quite personally and wondered why customers didn't care about it as much as him.
Goldman eventually realized he had made a product for himself, not for his consumers. It was unsweetened and had a caustic taste. Goldman had failed to understand his customers. Afterall, they had never been to Harlem, South Africa to met those villagers. They simply wanted a drink that was enjoyable.
Honest Tea pulled Harlem Honeybush, and developed it into a new formula, adding pomegranate and goji berry. The new product launched the next year. The pomegranate added functionality–hyradation. It was sweeter now too. It was a big hit. Now, Honest Tea buys more honeybush tea than it did using the old Harlem Honeybush recipe.
"The lesson there for me was, you have to make this work for the consumer," he said. "If it doesn't mean anything to the consumer, then you're not achieving your mission."

Please let there be light for seniors
My favorite day of the year is Dec. 22! It has nothing to do with Christmas being just a few days away, or the fact that I might possibly be done shopping by then. It has to do with daylight.
On Dec. 22, we have two more seconds of daylight than we did on Dec. 21. I know it's little but I think it's noticeable. Today (Jan. 18) we have 29 minutes and 12 seconds more daylight than we did on Dec. 21. See it's making a big difference, fast.

Disney develops 'feel-around' touchscreens
The technology could also help the blind to identify objects on a touch screen
Computerworld - The Disney Co. on Wednesday announced a new touch-screen technology that offers users tactile sensations that mimic real surfaces.
In a research paper, scientists at Disney Research in Pittsburgh proposed a tactile rendering algorithm for simulating 3D geometric features on touch screens.
Using electrical impulses, the touch screen technology offers the sensation of ridges, edges, protrusions and bumps and any combination of those textures.
The researchers presented the technology at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology in St Andrews, Scotland.
While Disney is not alone in developing tactile response touchscreens, its researchers said the traditional approach has been to use a library of "canned effects," that are played back when someone touches a screen.
"This makes it difficult to create a tactile feedback for dynamic visual content, where the sizes and orientation of features constantly change," said Ali Israr, an engineer with Disney Research. "With our algorithm, we do not have one or two effects, but a set of controls that make it possible to tune tactile effects to a specific visual artifact on the fly."
The touch-screen devices can also receive tactile feedback relating to form and surface topography. If a user is exploring a 3D rendering or a navigational map, depth and elevation information would also be related through touch.
Environmental settings can also be rendered in real time, allowing users access to spaces and surfaces they may not typically have access to. Additionally, the technology could offer information to the visually impaired about their location, helping them to better discern their surroundings by touching the touchscreen.
Disney said its computer algorithm consists of three main steps: The first calculates the gradient of the virtual surface in need of rendering; it then determine the "dot product" of the gradient of the virtual surface and velocity of the sliding finger; and then it "maps the dot-product to the voltage using the psychophysical relationship."
Called a "slope model", the algorithm would combine with hardware to produce an electro-vibration based friction display to modulate the friction forces between the touch surface and the sliding finger.
When a finger slides on a touch-screen object, minute surface variations are sensed by friction-sensitive mechanoreceptors in a person's skin. The computer algorithm then modulates the friction forces between the fingertip and the touch surface to create the illusion of surface variations.
"We first determined a psychophysical relationship between the voltage applied to the display and the subjective strength of friction forces, and then used this function to render friction forces directly proportional to the gradient (slope) of the surface being rendered," the researchers stated in a news release.
The researchers said a comparison study showed that users are at least three times more likely to prefer the proposed slope-model than other commonly used models of tactile touchscreens.
"Our algorithm is concise, light and easily applicable on static images and video streams," the researchers stated.

Today's weather forecast: Land of Sunshine
Even as Sam Nazarian's sbe group expands in the nightclub and hotel departments (a new location of Vegas's Hyde Lounge is coming to West Hollywood; the SLS and Redbury Hotels have opened outlets outside of Los Angeles), its restaurant operations are looking shaky. Last night came word that Katsyua's barely two-year-old San Diego location had closed. This follows the shutter of Katsuya Houston in July and Katsuya Laguna Beach in March. Rumor has it that Katsuya Glendale may be next on the chopping block.
Representatives for sbe report that "the company is focusing its resources on the projects that deliver both the highest return and fit its long-term strategic growth objectives." Clearly, restaurants in parternship with high end designers (such as Katsuya's Philippe Starck) and celebrity chefs may not fit that model.

I ordered the country chairs to go with a new table that I just bought and they matched perfectly. I love these chairs because they are sturdy and pretty. I am kind of a heavy lady and they are just great. I feel confortable and safe in these chairs.
Previous reviews indicated these are sturdy chairs even for a larger person. They do feel sturdy. The only concern I have is the front legs have a normal width and as the picture shows, has a slight flair at the bottom. The back legs are actually narrower. It isn't a huge difference but enough that our 9 yr old who has a hard time not tipping on chairs has had it slip out from under him twice because of the narrower legs in the back. Fortunately this was on carpet and hopefully will teach a lesson. When I sit on it and lean to the side to grab something off the floor I feel like it could slip, but it hasn't. We bought 6 of these chairs and they went together well when using the proper tools. They look very nice and we are happy with the purchase.
I ordered two packages (four chairs total). The packages were delivered quickly. On opening one of the packages and examining the pieces, I found that one seat had something spilled on the underside and on an edge, which would be visible after assembly. Also, there was a defect in the wood of one rung (on the top, where it could be seen). The hardware bag (paper) was torn, allowing some of the washers to spill into the carton, and, given how the carton was sealed (or not sealed), they could have slipped out during shipping. Fortunately, I did manage to find all the washers in the carton. My biggest concern, however, was the lack of any instruction sheet for assembly. The only "instructions" were stickers on some of the pieces indicating "left" or "right." Having recently assembled some similar chairs (with instructions), though, I managed to figure it out. The other package also had no instruction sheet, so this was not a fluke. After assembling the frame of one chair, something did not look right, and on comparing it to a chair assembled from the first package, I realized that the side rails had been mislabeled as to left and right, so I had to disassemble and reassemble it. The other pair of side rails also was mislabeled. The chairs have nylon glides on the legs. Some of them were not pounded in completely, and one had the nail head (which should be embedded in the nylon) exposed. I wound up removing the glides and replacing them with adhesive felt pads. I consider the assembled chairs to be of marginally-acceptable quality (sturdiness and finish) and would not recommend this item.
Great buy, put them together in my office and everyone who came in sat on them and loved them. Comfortable and sturdy, well worth the money.
great match for the country cottage dinning set. it was easy to put together and the quality is impressive. price is very reasonable.
These are such a good buy. Compared to what we could have gotten from *** for a similar price, these are a great deal. Solid wood, sturdy, cute. Recommend.
Chairs are nice and sturdy. Match the table I purchased perfectly. Looks great in the breakfast nook area!
ordered 6 chairs for a gift. 5 were perfect but one had a blemish in the wooden seat
I was looking for 6 inexpensive dining room chairs for my daughter. They seem sturdy enough now - time will tell if they hold up.. One of the chairs arrived with the "x" cracked. I contacted the manufacturer and a replacement part was sent promptly.
These chairs were purchased for use in an assisted living room for my mother. They seem sturdy but not too heavy for her to move. If you sit in them for a long time (one hour) the back X becomes uncomfortable. For light use they are just fine.
