Storybook Houses in Wikipedia.
A Storybook House refers to an architectural style popularized in the 1920s in England and America.
The storybook style is a nod toward Hollywood design technically called Provincial Revivalism and more commonly called Fairy Tale or Hansel and Gretel. A primary example can be found in the 1927 Montclair, Oakland firehouse, and in a more traditional English cottage-style in the 1930 Montclair branch library. Idora Park in north Oakland, California is a four square block storybook architecture development begun in 1927 on the grounds of the old amusement park.
The primary architects that worked in this style are: Harry Oliver, W.R. Yelland, W.W. Dixon and Carr Jones among many other local architects.
Oliver is noted for his Spadena House in Beverly Hills, and the Tam O'Shanter Inn in Los Feliz (Los Angeles).
Yelland is noted for his (Thornburg) Normandy Village and Tupper & Reed Music Store, both located in Berkeley, California. Yelland designed homes in Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley, San Leandro, Hayward, Woodland, Modesto, Clarksburg, Sacramento, Kensington and San Francisco, California.
W.W. Dixon noted for his work with developer R.C. Hillen in creating the Dixon & Hillen catalog of homes. Dixon is noted for Stonehenge & Stoneleigh villages in Alameda as well as Picardy Drive in Oakland, California.
Carr Jones is noted for the (il Posinto Restaurant) post office in Lafayette, California. He designed and built one-of-a-kind homes in Oakland, Berkeley and Piedmont, California.

From Storybookers:
Some of the terms used below are a bit technical; an illustrated glossary of terms related to storybook architecture will be added to this page in the near future.
CONSTRUCTION: Predominately stucco (often roughly troweled), frequently with half-timbering (often curved); use of rubble stone, crazed brick, and clinker brick are common; all-stone, all-brick, and all-wood construction are sometimes used. Turrets with conical roofs are a common feature, as are faux dovecotes.
WALLS: Often sloped or curving; almost never square or rectangular; wing walls are not uncommon.
ROOFLINES: Always curved in some way—swaybacked, sagged, concave, undulating or sharply pointed; never flat and seemingly never of the straight- and equal-sided triangular form; gables are usually jerkinhead or very sharply pointed; eaves are often rolled; use of catslides is common.
ROOFING MATERIALS: Most often wooden shingles, wooden shakes, or slate laid down in a seawave or other intentionally irregular pattern; though the original materials have frequently been replaced over time, the irregular pattern is sometimes imitated in the more modern material.
DOORS: Round-topped or batten (occasionally both), often with a peek-a-boo; doors are frequently set in an arched doorway lined with stone; when turret is present, the building's front door typically opens into this.
WINDOWS: Sometimes wood-framed but often steel-framed (presumably to more closely resemble medieval windows); on older homes, the glass (unless replaced) is leaded or wavy; figural insets of stained glass are not uncommon.
CHIMNEYS: Chimneys are seldom regular in appearance; most feature a combination of stucco and seemingly haphazardly-placed stone or brick.
IRONWORK: Wrought iron door hinges, handles, knockers, and locksets are common, as are other wrought iron embellishments.
OTHER: Most storybook structures are fairly small, though many make use of deceptive perspective to trick the eye into perceiving them as being larger than they really are; larger storybooks are often constructed to appear as though built up gradually over time, one addition at a time. All (or nearly all) are based upon a fanciful interpretation of medieval European homes; a number of the true masterworks have been artificially and intentionally aged, lending them the appearance of structures built centuries in the past.
LOCATION: As befits their faux-rural heritage, many storybook homes are surrounded by trees and shrubbery; as most were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s, the greenery can conceal these structures from the casual observer.

1888-1988: A Hundred Years of Magnetic Sound Recording
In the past, the essay "Some Possible Forms of Phonograph" by the American engineer Oberlin Smith, dating from 1888, has been regarded merely as a first indication of the possibility of electromagnetic sound recording. A recently discovered reader's letter proves that Smith constructed a unit with functional transducers, which could at least be used for experimental purposes, and is therefore the inventor of magnetic sound recording techniques.

with the new conquest emblems, you could farm some heroics and get the valor cape. That one is better than your current cape.
I know there are a lot of upgrades out there for me and I'm trying my best to get them all. I've been running the Utgarde heroics trying to get one of the swords from those instances. Also running regular HoL for the trinket there. I tanked Sapphiron in 10 and was used as off-tank for trash, in which i replace my old dabari trinket with my Greatness one. Currently, without dabari, I'm at 539 defense, so I have to use it on bosses. I plan to pick up glyph of blocking now. Using the old cookie cutter build 15/5/51 but was thinking of going 15/3/53 since block has been changed. Anything else you guys would suggest?

with the new conquest emblems, you could farm some heroics and get the valor cape. That one is better than your current cape.
There are only two truly infinite things, the universe and stupidity. And I am unsure about the universe. Albert Einstein
In general, you are on the right track in terms of enchanting. For gemming, I would recommend you not gem for strength, go for expertise (it is more valuable for threat AND defense if the boss can't parry your attacks). Go with expertise, expertise/defense, expertise/hit or expertise/stam. You want to get to 26 expertise and 263 hit rating (Getting there!).
-As for gear, yes, it's either Slayer of the Lifeless in Gothik/Gluth nax 10, Argent tournament weapon, H UP weapon.
-For gloves, consider running either H Gundrak, getting to exalted Kirin Tor and getting exalted epic gloves, or keep up with OS10 for T7 gloves.
-The cost of BOE bracers Bracers of Dalaran's Parapets have gone down considerably , or you can grind out the conquest badges in 3.2 (although there are smarter upgrades for you with those badges).
finally got my sword! Going after bracers and shoulders now. Farming for badges.

Technique Thursday: Recipe & 5 Tips for a Great Fruit Salad

Acadiana Center for the Arts 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Who we hope to attract: Marketing specialists, entrepreneurs/business leaders, college students, and anybody who hates boring presentations.
What you'll get out of this: The idea that you can enchant audiences worldwide with your presentations is pretty exciting. However, with the modern statistic that 30 million presentations are given a day combined with the growing trend of "Death by Powerpoint," there's a good chance audiences might fall asleep before hearing the next big idea. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't pitch your next crazy idea. Big Fish Presentations is here to tell you our winning strategies on what makes an amazing and unforgettable presentation.
The unique thing about Big Fish Presentations? We're all undergrads from LSU.
It all started in January 2011 when I attended a student organization meeting at LSU. Our speaker was an executive from a large international Fortune 500 company. We were stoked about having a representative from a big-name company speak to us, but when he delivered his presentation we were floored — and not in a good way.
The presentation consisted of 120+ PowerPoint slides, nothing but text, and he was nice enough to personally make sure to read every single slide. Are you kidding me? Sitting through that made me think to myself, "If the world's largest companies are presenting this way, audiences might not get a chance to hear tomorrow's brightest ideas before being put to sleep by boring presentations." This sparked an idea, and soon after Big Fish Presentations was born.
By assembling a young but talented design team, I began to pursue my dream of helping the world's brightest minds and companies present their ideas. And what a wild ride it has been.
Fast forward a year, and I and now a team of six LSU undergrads have evolved that dream into a fast-growing startup named one of 2012's "America's Coolest College Startups" by Inc. magazine.
By offering rockstar-quality slide design, presentation consulting and commercial video production, we've built a fresh brand with a client base that spans from Fortune 500 companies to small budding startups.
Through our work and research with these companies, we discovered different effective strategies presenters worldwide use to captivate their audience. However, we've concluded that there are three key specific strategies that can transform a normal presentation into an unforgettable experience for audiences (such as a TED talk or a Steve Jobs keynote). We've learned so much on our presentation journey, but we just can't tell you what those elements are. Not yet.
You'll have to come see us on April 25 at the Acadiana Center for the Arts.
See you for lunch and get ready to rock.

The pilot reported that prior to takeoff he drained the main lower sump, but not the wing sumps, as was company policy. The pilot stated that he was told by the mechanic that "constant use of the wing sumps causes them to leak, and also causes damage to the fuel cells that is hard to repair." The pilot also reported that the airplane had been fueled a few days prior to the flight from a 55 gallon barrel by an electric pump at the company's fueling facility. Shortly after takeoff, the engine lost power. The pilot initiated a forced landing to an open field. During the landing roll the airplane collided with trees. Post accident inspection of the aircraft found that fuel samples taken from the sumps produced a pint of cloudy, watery substance that was drained from the left wing sump, a mixture of cloudy and clear fuel was drained from the engine fuel sump, and clear jet fuel from the right wing sump. The inspector traveled to the fueling facility and checked the pump glass fuel filter cover, observing it to be half full of what appeared to be water. Two 55 gallon barrels were sitting outside in the rain.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

A seemingly super-kind Robert Pattinson was spotted giving a guitar to a street performer, according to The Sun.
A 24-year-old man from South Wales, Luke Jones, was on vacation in Los Angeles when he saw the 'Twilight' star running into a nearby music store to buy the busker a new guitar. Pattinson apparently saw that the man's guitar was on its last legs after approaching him to leave money in his jar.
"We were gobsmacked when he handed the acoustic guitar to the tramp," said Luke. "Robert quickly went back to his car and drove off.
"The busker was totally shell-shocked. He had no idea who Robert was – I think he thought the guitar was stolen…We asked him to play but he couldn't get his thoughts together."
Perhaps Pattinson, who plays both piano and guitar, felt a kinship with his fellow musician and decided to help him.

Alpine is a Christian church with several locations throughout northern Utah. Our beliefs are rooted in the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ. Our mission is very simple: to help people pursue God. That means we're not about a denomination or a building or some complicated religious system, but about helping people from all different backgrounds discover the joy and freedom that comes from knowing and connecting with God.
We invite you to come and check us out this weekend at one of our worship services. We know that going to a new church can be confusing and intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you'll feel welcome and not like an outsider. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. You'll discover a warm atmosphere, good coffee, upbeat music, practical teaching from the Bible and lots of friendly people pursuing God together. And with childcare and classes for all ages, your kids will love it too! You can join us in person at one of our many locations, including services in Spanish and ASL, or you can join us online at one of our online services.
God made a promise in the Bible that if we seek after Him, we'll find Him. You are a valued part of God's creation and His deep desire is to be in a relationship with you. So come and join us as we pursue God together!
For your family
At Alpine we value the family and we believe church should be a place for people of all ages. Every Sunday we run KIDS' CHURCH alongside our regular services, which provides a fun, safe and age-appropriate place for kids to pursue God. Our KC offers classes for infants through sixth grade (more info available at the KC Table in the lobby). Our YOUTH GROUP (7th-12th grades) meets on Wednesday nights from 7:00 until 8:30. For more info on youth, visit www.alpinechurch.org/youth or grab a Fusion youth flyer.
About our campuses
Alpine is a multi-site church, which simply means that we're one church that meets in several locations. Each location (or campus) has the same beliefs and mission and the service will feel the same no matter where you go. While each campus has its own weekly activities, there are opportunities throughout the year to come together as one church. Each campus has its own campus pastor and leadership team, supported by a team of teaching pastors that rotates through the campuses.
About our staff
Alpine is led by a team of pastors who provide overall direction and watch over the spiritual needs of the church. Our Teaching Pastors rotate through all the campuses bringing practical, biblical teaching to each worship service. Our Campus Pastors focus on their specific campus to meet the spiritual needs of people there.
Our pastors come from different denominational backgrounds including Baptist, Assemblies of God, Calvary Chapel, and Bible Churches. They have received their theological and pastoral training from places like Moody Bible Institute, Wheaton Graduate School, Western Seminary, Denver Seminary, North Central University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Remember Me
Most of us say "thanks" without thinking.
WASHINGTON, March 13 -- The office of Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, D-N.J., issued the following news release:
Today, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate pledged a willingness to try to better communicate with residents and local governments and to expeditiously update flood maps with any appropriate data provided to them at the urging of Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ). The agreement came after a series of letters and phone calls to Fugate that culminated in a meeting today in Washington over concerns that changes to base flood elevation maps might be incorrect and might interfere with efforts to rebuild after Superstorm Sandy.
FEMA released Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE) maps for ten New Jersey counties in December, and while these ABFEs are not finalized the state's adoption of the maps in its building code has given them the force of law.
"As New Jersey homeowners and businesses rebuild after Superstorm Sandy and plan their futures, they deserve accurate flood maps that reflect the true flood risk," said Senator Lautenberg. "I appreciate Administrator Fugate's commitment to accept input from local communities and update the interim maps where appropriate, and we will continue to monitor FEMA's actions to make sure this happens."
"Local leaders and residents deserve the ability to try to correct possible mistakes in proposed flood maps in a timely fashion," said Menendez. "Hopefully, today's pledge by Administrator Fugate will lead to better data, better maps, and a quicker, more complete recovery. But we have a lot of work ahead of us and I will continue to work every day to make sure New Jersey can rebuild stronger and better than ever."
The meeting followed a joint-letter to Administrator Fugate in which Senators Lautenberg and Menendez expressed their concerns about the changes in flood elevation maps and their impact on efforts to restore the homes of those affected by the storm. This morning the Senators received a response to the letter and in this afternoon's meeting received further assurances that FEMA will be working to improve their maps and their communications with the public.
Today's meeting also followed the Senators calling upon the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to make additional resources available to New Jersey homeowners who are in the process of rebuilding after Superstorm Sandy and have found their homes subject to new elevation requirements under FEMA's interim floodplain maps.
Administrator Fugate also revealed that more than 80 percent of New Jersey flood insurance claims have now been settled and FEMA is working hard with state officials to ensure institutions with liens or holding mortgages on properties are not needlessly delaying payments to residents.

I honestly thought I was going to have to return this product. A lot of people who own shag rugs told me I was going to have an issue with it shedding all over the place. Once I got it in, everything about it was perfect. It's super soft and fits right under my huge sectional. Every time I have people over they have to take their shoes off just to have a feel and the kids love to roll around in it. It also makes the room look a lot richer and cozy. I also recommended it to a friend about it and she got hers in a few days ago. If I ever need another shag rug, I will definitely buy the same one!
this is so soft and beautiful, I love it. It makes the room feel finished
Beautiful area rug! After purchasing it I wished I had gotten the next size up, but I made it work and everyone talked about how beautiful it is with me current decor. This rug does have an odor when first received that required me to roll it out and then have the room air out for a few hours afterwards. That and the shedding (which is only light shedding) are my only two complaints.
This is the 2nd rug I have purchased from Overstock and could not be more happy. I read the reviews before buying and of course they were mixed. I think for the money this carpet is amazing! Yes I could see the gray sides of the carpet when I first laid it down in my living room but all that needed to be done was move the shag over it and problem solved...it is SO soft and rich looking. I have found so far that there is little to no shedding as well. I am a happy costumer :)

text: The pilot stated that, while he was on final approach at his destination airport, he caught a downdraft on short final and was unable to arrest the descent rate, even with full power. A witness at the airport advised the Safety Board however, that the wind at the airport at the time of the accident was 8-10 knots. The nearest weather reporting station also reported that the winds were from 360 degrees true at 6 knots. Another witness also advised the Safety Board that the pilot of the accident airplane would usually approach at a slow approach speed for landing. Review of a video recording that was made at the airport on the day of the accident also confirmed that there was little or no wind present during the accident, and that the airplane appeared to approach the runway at a slower airspeed than similar airplanes. Further review of the video also revealed, that while on short final, the airplane had developed a high sink rate, and had began to rapidly roll to the right just prior to impact with the turf runway. No sound of an increase of engine power was recorded until just prior to ground contact. During an interview, the pilot stated there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration Inspector revealed that during the accident, the airplane had incurred substantial structural damage to the landing gear assembly bulkhead.

Roslyn resident Bob Litwin has been selected to coach the Maccabiah USA Grand Masters tennis squad that will be performing at the July Maccabiah Games in Israel. The Grand Masters Division is for athletes aged 65 to 80+ years.
After playing tennis for Great Neck South High School, Litwin did not play competitively until he tried out for the Maccabiah USA Open Tennis team at 32. He did not make that team but made it his mission to compete for the USA at the next Maccabiah Games in 1985. He qualified for the Masters Tennis team at those Games, traveled to Israel for the competition and won bronze and gold medals. Since then, he has become a local senior legend, winning the ITF World Championship and 14 USTA National Championships, achieving the #1 World ranking in 2005 and being an eight-time member of the USA Senior Davis Cup Team.

NEW YORK – Looks like the best suitor won.
After an extended chase that included overtures on both sides and flirtations with other parties, Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank will combine to create the nation's fourth-largest menswear retail chain.
Men's Wearhouse Inc. said Tuesday that it's buying its rival Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. for $1.8 billion. The company will pay $65 a share, a 5 percent premium to Jos. A. Bank's Monday closing price of $61.83. Jos. A. Bank also said it's terminating its deal to acquire the parent company of Eddie Bauer, which sells rugged outerwear.
Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank have retail operations in Fort Wayne.
On Tuesday, shares of both companies rose on the news: Men's Wearhouse's stock was up nearly 5 percent to $57.14, while shares of Jos. A. Bank increased nearly 4 percent to $64.22.
The acquisition comes after months of the two chains publicly fighting over who would acquire whom. Industry watchers had speculated that a merger was inevitable, given the challenges the companies face in the competitive menswear landscape. With more than 1,700 U.S. stores and $3.5 billion in annual sales, the combined company's reach in men's clothing will fall behind only Macy's, Kohl's and J.C. Penney.
Together, Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank will have increased scale and breadth, said Doug Ewert, CEO of Men's Wearhouse.
Jos. A. Bank made the first move in October when it offered to buy its larger rival for $2.3 billion. Men's Wearhouse shot down that offer and turned the tables, offering to buy its rival for $1.54 billion. After Jos. A. Bank turned down that bid, Men's Wearhouse increased its offer to $1.6 billion, then to $1.78 billion.
In the middle of the back-and-forth bidding, Jos. A. Bank said last month that it was buying Everest Holdings LLC, the parent company of Eddie Bauer. But the company left the door open for a deal with Men's Wearhouse by saying if it received a superior acquisition offer, it would pay a termination fee to end the Eddie Bauer deal.
By early March, Men's Wearhouse said it may raise the bid to $65 a share if some conditions were met. Days later, the companies announced they were exchanging certain confidential information with each other.

Editor's note: Last chance to meet Mike this spring. On Saturday, May 5, Mike makes his final area appearance of the season to discuss "The seven secrets of successful organic gardeners" at 10 a.m. at a plant sale and fundraiser for the Moonflower Garden Club in Severna Park.
Mike McGrath, wtop.com
Timing your tamatas
If you live in the District or in one of the region's more southern suburbs, tomato planting time can pretty much be here if you want, as your ten-day forecast shows the nighttime temperatures staying reliably in the 60s and high-50s.
But, the extended forecast also shows that some of our northern listeners still have nights in the very low-50s next week.
That's why you should always be suspicious of firm dates for doing any kind of garden thing "in the D.C. area" - it's just too big and climactically diverse a region to be pigeonholed like that. Instead, follow the golden rule for tomatoes and other tropical plants: Wait until May and then plant when nighttime temps are predicted to be 55 or higher for the next ten days.
Got plants in hand? Leave them out during the day and bring them back inside on chilly nights until planting time arrives.
Box plants on cold nights
What can you do if your tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and other cold-sensitive crops are already in the ground and a night in the 40s, or gulp, below the 40s, is predicted?
Easy. Just place a cardboard box over top of each tender plant before the sun goes down and lift the box off early the next day. The box will trap a little warm air around the plant, and - more importantly - prevent any frost from settling on those tender leaves, a real risk when temps are low, skies are clear and winds are light.
Don't worry about crops like lettuce, spinach, peas and broccoli. They love cool weather. But really worry about eggplant, peppers and tropical melons. They're even more cold sensitive than tomatoes, and should be the very last plants to be installed outdoors.
Eggshells will give you a perfectly pretty bottom
Every July and August, I get dozens of emails from listeners heartbroken that "a pest or disease is making my tomatoes turn black and rotten on the bottom just as they're getting ripe."
This is one of the only tomato problems that is not caused by a pest or disease. It's blossom end rot, which is a cultural problem, like opera. But unlike opera, there's a cure for blossom end rot: adequate soil calcium, which none of you have. So:
- Crush up the dried shells of a dozen eggs and put them in each hole at planting time.
- Or, dissolve a dozen calcium carbonate tablets in a watering can and slowly deliver that water directly to the root zone of each of your plants.
- Or, use a natural plant food designed and specifically labeled for tomatoes. Organic tomato foods always supply lots of calcium, while chemical plant foods well, they only supply more problems.
Are you determinate? Or indeterminate?
Yearning to grow your own tomatoes this year? Be sure to choose the right type for your situation.
If you're tight on space or have a container garden, stick to determinate varieties. These well-behaved tomatoes, which often have words like 'bush', 'pot', or 'patio' as part of their name, top out between three and five feet tall and are more naturally upright, although they are still vines, and need support. (Oh, and only one tomato plant per pot, container growers. Although, you can position smaller plants, like herbs and flowers around the edges of a big pot.)
INdeterminate varieties, on the other hand, have long, rangy vines that can easily grow ten feet in length over the course of a season and often produce very large fruits, like the popular beefsteak and treasured heirloom varieties. Don't try and grow a monster indeterminate like Brandywine or Mortgage Lifter in a tiny space or in a pot that doesn't look like it belongs outside a hotel. Each indeterminate plant needs at least a two foot wide footprint, at least a foot in between plants and serious support.
The best support for these big, delicious love apples? Buy a roll of real animal fencing (not chicken wire) or concrete reinforcing wire, cut it into six foot long sections, form the sections into cylinders, and then position them so that a compost-mulched tomato is in the center of each cage. Then drive a piece of rebar or a big metal stake through the side of the cage and into the ground. This stake is just to support the cage, NOT the vine. Don't stake the vine - you want it to be able to curl around the inside of the cage so that by the time it reaches the top, it'll have used up a good nine feet of its length.

Paul Reed Smith Guitars is proud to add the P22, the company's first piezo-equipped solidbody guitar, to its 2012 lineup. The P22 comes standard with a figured maple top, mahogany back, mahogany neck with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, and a redesigned PRS/LR Baggs piezo system. PRS and LR Baggs partnered more than a decade ago to design the piezo system found in PRS's popular hollowbody models. This new system retains the same circuit design as the existing system, giving the P22 the same tonal authenticity and real world practicality as PRS hollowbody guitars. The redesign of the board itself yielded a version that is more than 60% smaller than the original PRS/LR Baggs system, allowing it to comfortably inhabit a solidbody guitar. Uncovered 53/10 pickups round out this guitar's specifications and help define the P22's voice. Piezo systems have long allowed guitarists the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric guitar tones in one instrument. The PRS Hollowbody II and Singlecut Hollowbody II both come standard with the original PRS/LR Baggs piezo and have achieved a great level of popularity in PRS Guitars' product line. The addition of a solidbody model will give musicians a new and unique tool to add to their own lineup.
*Guitar Specifications:
*Top Wood: Carved Figured Maple, Flame "10 Top"
*Back Wood: Mahogany
*Finish: V12
*Number of Frets: 22
*Scale Length: 25"
*Neck Wood: Mahogany

Want to sound like a native Korean? Or just plain desire to understand more of your favorite Korean dramas? Watch KWOW #110 to learn some popular Korean expressions and sounds (below).
There are tons, tons, tons of Korean expressions and sounds. Some are classics while others are passing trends. Here's the list of the ones featured in the episode:
- Aish/아이씨: darnit, ah crap, oh man
- Nyam nyam nyam/냠냠냠: munching sounds, the Korean way of saying America's "nom nom nom"
- Ae/에이: roughly translates to "Aw~ Come on," can sound highly aegyo depending on how you say it, use when someone rejects your request
- Uh/어: heard often when Koreans are on the phone, the Korean way of saying "yeah" and "uhuh."
- The airy huh: very common sound in Korean dramas, used when expressing disbelief with an "omg, what did you just say to me?" face
- Ooh-ah/우아: a Korean way of saying "wow"
- Ayah!/아야!: the Korean "ouch," the shorter way to say it is "Ah! 아!" Use this when you have sharp and sudden pain, i.e. papercut. Make a longer "Ah/아" if you're sick in bed, have a stomachache or are experiencing brain freeze.
- Ah-HH-hh/아~ (see KWOW #110 at 3:08): a long AH with a raised middle then back down is equivalent to "oh-HH-hh." Like when someone says in America, "OhhHHhhhh, I see."
- The suck-in-the-air-through-your-teeth sound effect (watch KWOW #110 at 3:33 for demo): use when in pain or when someone is about to do something after you told them not to, i.e. your little brother reaching for the cookie jar, your cat jumping on the dinner table.
- Ya/야: means "hey" in most situations. There are multiple ways of using YA. Yell it out loud when frustrated (like when you're fighting and you're at a loss for words) and if someone wronged you (i.e. a pickpocket snatched your purse).
- Ya, ya, ya/야, 야, 야: meaning "hey, hey, hey," this expression is often seen in Korean dramas with policemen and gangsters. Remember to include hand and arm motions as shown in the video (4:45)!
- The long Ya/야 with a genuine smile: sounds more like "wow" than "hey," use when impressed with something or someone, i.e. your friend can drink a ridiculous amount of soju and is still alive, you saw the Grand Canyon for the first time and are blown away by its awesome-ness.

ALICIA HALL MORAN, mezzo-soprano, brings diverse influences and passions together in a rich artistic brew. Ms. Moran played nightly in the stellar ensemble of The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess, Broadway's 2012 Tony-winner for "Best Musical Revival." Additionally, Ms. Moran had the distinction of performing the role of Bess on Broadway numerous times as an Understudy--and for a time, the scheduled Wednesday night alternate--to Audra McDonald. Ms. McDonald earned her fifth Tony Award ("Best Actress in a Musical") for the role.
Ms. Moran was an Artist in the genre-busting 2012 Whitney Biennial along with husband, pianist Jason Moran. For the Biennial Ms. Moran curated the celebrated 26-performance event, BLEED. This mega-offering juxtaposed new collaborations and inspirational works with a survey of the Morans' past collaborations in the musical and visual arts. Films incorporating music by the Morans' (films by Joan Jonas, Glenn Ligon, Kara Walker, and Simone Leigh/Liz Magic Laser) were also featured.Ms. Moran has just completed a term as Artist-In-Residence at the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum, and a commission for Art Public/Art Basel Miami.
Since 2010, Ms. Moran's critically-acclaimed cabaret club act, Alicia Hall Moran + the motown project, has been thrilling audiences at Universities and nightclubs alike: The Highline Ballroom, Le Poisson Rouge, The Regattabar (Cambridge), The Kitchen, The Whitney Museum, University of Pennsylvania, West Chester University, etc.
Co-authoring and improvising vocal music for Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company's award-winning Chapel/Chapter remains a career highlight. As a former weekly classical music columnist Ms. Moran wrote Suite Sounds for the New York Amsterdam News.
Ms. Moran's performances transcend expectation. She upholds the traditions of her great, great uncle Hall Johnson (legendary choral director, composer and preserver of the Negro Spiritual) and her greatest teachers (Shirley Verrett, Adele Addison, Hilda Harris, David Jones & Warren Wilson) without being tethered to the classical repertoire.
Her singing and theatrical sensibilities lead purely into a sensual, musical world where the lyricism of Marvin Gaye and the high drama of Puccini collide.

One man was shot and another pistol-whipped in the head during an attempted robbery in Omaha Friday night.
Two armed men got into a home near South 34th and W streets around 11:45 p.m. A fight broke out during which 22-year-old Jose Nunez was shot in the foot and his 18-year-old brother Anthony Nunez was assaulted.
Jose was taken to the Nebraska Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries and Anthony was treated at the scene.
The suspects fled without taking anything. Officers at the scene told Channel 6 News parts of the victims' stories did not match.
"It's just sad because you can't even be safe in your own house," said Cynthia Toledo, a friend and neighbor of the victims. "I'm more sad because they went after two little kids."
Toledo said Anthony was taking out the trash when he saw two men approach. "He overheard them, when they said they should attack him, by the time he turned up, they had guns to his head." She said the suspects forced Anthony to the door and tricked his brother Jose into opening it.
After the confrontation with the brothers, Toledo said the suspects spotted witnesses inside, twin 12-year-olds. "They saw that the twins had seen them, the two intruders, so they turned around and started shooting at them and they had to flee the house running and they were covering their head. They even said that they saw the fire coming out of the gun."
Toledo is still scared, but said the neighborhood is a close-knit one. "But the good thing is, is that like our neighbors are always there for each other, so that's the good thing, but…"

Razer's class warfare: a diary of dissent
Helen Razer tells you how to protest and dissent in the modern age — without resorting to cheap anti-intellectualism and anti-privilege.
Popular thinker William F. Buckley once joked he would prefer to be governed by the first 200 names in the Boston phonebook than the Harvard faculty. A is for Anti-intellectualism; the colourful credo hung on the nursery walls of neo-liberalism. It is the view of formal reason as elite that gives us bunkum like Nick Cater's The Lucky Culture with its "latte sippers", "champagne socialists" and other beverage typecasting long since lost its pop. It is this view of "book learning" as the work of statist monsters that informs the Right.
Except, of course, that it really doesn't and really hasn't; not, at least, since influential neo-liberal economist F.A. Hayek urged in the middle of the 20th century for a "free society (that is) once more an intellectual adventure, a deed of courage". Hayek and his rival John Maynard Keynes didn't agree on much, as illustrated by the rap anthem below, but they both knew that the ideas of intellectuals shaped the future.
Buckley, of course, knew this as well; the Yale alum and professed intellectual used more $20 words than Guy Rundle. The Right's "anti-intellectualism" is a tactic and a fiction retold convincingly by windbags like Cater and Bolt.
It is also a story, to our shame, now used quite sincerely by the Left.
In recent weeks, our nation's better feminists have taken up the essential work of protest against state legislation that will potentially restrict access to abortion services. In response to the "foetal personhood" changes in New South Wales and in Victoria, the still murky propositions by Geoff Shaw, we have seen protest on social media …
… urging the categorical imperative but on the streets, a stranger sort of protest that is not, in my view, much different from a Cater view of things.
On the Facebook fan-page for the group Destroy the Joint, we see a much "shared" and "liked" photograph of a man whose act of protest is consent.
Now, in one reading, this is a heart-warming picture of a chap who offers unqualified support to the gender who will be most overwhelmingly impacted by changes to termination law. On the other, he represents the anti-intellectualism best expressed in the Left's frequent caution to "check your privilege".
Briefly, this charge, applied within Left-liberal circles, is one of universalism; of failing to acknowledge other perspectives than one's own. The charge is laid, perhaps, most frequently in feminism where the idea of "intersectionality" has taken hold as a half-idea.
With few primary texts but a great many adherents, intersectionality is, in my view, the pseudo-intellectualisation of what, by the modern era, had become the Bleeding Obvious. To wit: (a) a single individual can belong to more than one subordinated social and economic class, and (b) any tit with any idea of social or critical theory should be aware of this.
John Rawls' "veil of ignorance" is one of many intellectual solutions to the problem of people being ethnocentric or sexist or homophobic dicks. But the original position, or any intellectual riposte to questions such as abortion, are increasingly deemed invalid responses in late era Left-liberal protest.
Dependably Left Guardian columnist Zoe Williams offered her views on the "check your privilege" disorder to which progressives had been subjecting themselves. Uncomfortable with the idea that only those who found themselves at the most perilous intersectional crossroads could protest an injustice, she cheekily asked "are you too white, rich, able-bodied and straight to be a feminist?".
The notion that only the most vulnerable can speak on the behalf of the most vulnerable is, as Williams points out, not only informed by a monumental logical flaw: the most vulnerable are often too busy being vulnerable to speak. It is also the case that protest that demands and feeds upon the silence of its "allies", such as the taciturn chap in the picture above, does nothing for the sort of intellectual cross-pollination that has long fuelled radical reform movements.
The labour movement, for example, benefited as much from involvement with the late campaigner Chicka Dixon as the land rights movement did from its acquaintanceship with socialism. It is no small concern that this sort of intellectual co-management is a diminished possibility in the age of "check your privilege".

Great piece. It's reminded me of Jeremy Paxman's interview of Christopher Hitchens where he asked, and I'm paraphrasing, "Do you still consider yourself a leftist"? Hitchen's reply was Yes, but both Paxman and Hitchens settled on a better description dialectic.

Well, I guess I'm not one of the latte-sipping intellectuals, cos I can't work out what Helen Razor is actually saying here! Is she FOR the guy with the "what she said" poster, or against him ? If someone could summarise without the political-sociology jargon, for the benefit of us non-intellectuals, I would truly appreciate it.

Australian politics is very tribal and many times, I think this can be extended to particular struggles and causes. Much of it comes down to groupthink which, while the cause may be just, can intefere with logical and rational thinking on a subject; and promote the tendency for knee jerk responses.
Many times I have seen an author of an article bombarded by enthusiastic feminist responses, and which clearly demonstrate the person has not really read the article and/or misunderstood the message intended.
PS: Have never understood the beveragisation of political thought. Can anyone explain it?

Identity politics - so 1990s!
I remember at uni back then everyone in the (tiny) engaged left positioning themselves by their oppression. There was a lot of 'grandad was a coal miner' type of stuff, although sleeping with people of the same gender was blue ribbon material too.
And the people who had actually grown up properly poor were too modest (or grateful at their luck) to play the game. Here we were, tertiary educated people, empowered enough to peacefully protest in the face of consistently violent police and lying media, yet so much time was wasted on proving our powerlessness rather than just getting on with changing things!
Depressingly, 20 years later (as usual) the lazy liberal-left has caught up.
I'm out of touch with what the active left is doing and thinking, but I suspect (and hope) that they've moved well beyond this self-defeating rhetoric.

bluepoppy - lattes and champagne are generally more expensive than, say, a short black or a beer (or they used to be - yay craft beer!) It's intended to imply elitism and consequently an inability to empathise with the struggles the "common people" struggle with.

kmart, a posible explanation: by keeping his mouth shut, the guy is doing the cause a disservice; despite the y chromosomes he's allowed to speak up for the xx opressed.
Or it could be something else. I'm a flat white slurper. What would I know.
9Posted Thursday, 5 December 2013 at 11:11 pm | Permalink
Kmart, Let me explain. Ms Razer thinks that if a man agrees with women and lets them speak for themselves he is anti intellectual. Women who appreciate a man who listens probably sip latte or drink Chardonnay and the people with influence speak in riddles. Simple really except it is all wrapped in convoluted sentences with no consistency.

I checked my priviledge. Lots of it. Ooodles. Now, should I just sit here like a cabbage or should I use it for something? Nice to see someone also seeing the sterility of identity politics in actually getting anything done.
12Posted Friday, 6 December 2013 at 11:01 am | Permalink
Thanks Tom Jones. I think the whole thing's bollocks anyway - the guy is there, he's supporting the women (as are a bunch of other men, who don't seem to have any placards), and I think he's made a clever point, one that my husband and Michael Moore both agree on - "I don't get to have a position - I don't have a uterus". Whether you support someone with clever arguments, or just support them because your gut instinct is that this is the decent thing to do, what difference does it make?
The whole "latte-sipper" insult is meaningless anyway - my (mostly conservative) family group and my (mostly left) group of friends both have a large proportion of latte and chardonnay drinkers, as I suspect do our pollies and our political journos…
13Posted Friday, 6 December 2013 at 4:39 pm | Permalink
Well I think the picture is a clever piece of communication that demands notice. It could be argued that he has abdicated himself from holding his own view - he's not necessarily made his own mind up. That's not my view but I think Razer's discussion about anti-intellectualism on the left is about this.
But sorry folks, you're not going to escape the mild insults that we use for the left. It's so much fun and the fact that inner urban, latte sipping, chardonnay quaffing, basket weaving, roman sandal wearing, tree hugging bendy bus fetishists complain about such handles just encourages people like me.

"Well, I guess I'm not one of the latte-sipping intellectuals, cos I can't work out what Helen Razor is actually saying here! Is she FOR the guy with the "what she said" poster, or against him ?"
Same kmart - I can normally follow Ms Razer, but once she starts talking about feminism I can never quite work out whether she is for agin.
"Ms Razer thinks that if a man agrees with women and lets them speak for themselves he is anti intellectual. Women who appreciate a man who listens probably sip latte or drink Chardonnay and the people with influence speak in riddles."
Thanks TomJones, I've got a horrible feeling that you might be right.
And if you are right, I must take umbrage. The guy in the photo is doing the only thing that a well adjusted, intelligent, learned, erudite and socially advanced male human being can do, and that is to point out the bleeding obvious, which is that men don't have a say on the matter.
This is not anti-intellectualism. Anti-intellectualism is when people who have no idea what theya re talking about are listened to as though they were learned (Bolt, Akerman, etc etc)
Anti-intellectualism is conflating celebrity with intelligence. Anti-intellectualism is having an opinion on everything, even if you know nothing about it. It is NOT about recognising that you have no say, and stating it.

Chris thanks for the explanation. It is odd that these drinks - Lattes and champagne - are attributed more generally to the Left which belies the fact they often identify more with those who are struggling in society, than the Tories etc.

Intersectionality link to wikipedia ironic much? There are way better critiques and insights available on the interwebs.
17Posted Saturday, 14 December 2013 at 6:10 pm | Permalink
I really don't like the way this is written - particularly the dismissive 'half idea' that is intersectionality. Yes, there are problems with its methodology - there are loads of critiques out there - but if you were to hold this as its only criticism and that it's *just* a variation of identity politics then you're missing the point. First and second wave feminism's chants didn't fill a void for the world's 'othered' disenfranchised so this kind of pisses me off, this idea to dumb it down to a readership then subsequently makes it invisible. Here, read this - http://feministcurrent.com/8353/marxist-feminism-as-a-critique-of-intersectionality/ and this http://blackfeministsmanchester.wordpress.com/ Yes there are constructs around structures but if you're going to dismiss a theory that validates what is clearly invisible to many women who are also not shown or seen in mass media - let me remind you when YOU see this - what do you see? http://thehoopla.com.au/women-hmmmmm/
My point is attacking liberal white feminists and dismissing 'half-idea' intersectionality - is everything along class lines?

As an extenstion of my previous (ranty) thought I'd clarify - I'm sorta stuck between consensus theory and conflict theory - textbook pseudo-intellectualism …

I don't think that 'only the most vulnerable can comment on the most vulnerable' but this is a mish mash of ideas that needs unravelling. IMO.

None of the technology released in the past five years has made us better at building communities.
It's made it
easier to build communities, but it hasn't made us better at building communities.
In fact, much of it has proved a costly distraction that has reduced the chances of us succeeding.
We say that with confidence. We've crunched, munched, and otherwise stared at numbers until our eyes bleed. Technology tweaks, barring a correction for an earlier mistake, rarely have a big long-term impact upon a community's level of growth and activity.
We've had organizations invest millions (the record was $ 2.1m) on a new community platform to revive a fading community. That's a lot of money to waste. That's at the '
people getting fired' level of money.

I hope no one tells Cactus Kate about this startling new discovery…tough to be fair she buys her own champagne…because no one else can afford her preferred tipple.
It's official: champagne is a socialist's drink. That's according to a consumer study from the US that has correlated what people imbibe with their voting habits. Apparently, wine-drinkers are most likely to turn out at elections (the hangovers are lighter than for spirits) and rum is the most bipartisan tipple of all. Right-wingers prefer whiskeys such as Jim Beam and Wild Turkey. Left-wingers like prosecco, vodka, gin and champagne.
The survey has plenty of gaps. What if, like me, you spent New Year's Eve mixing your drinks? Does that shot of vodka washed down with a glass of whisky make me an undecided voter, or just a diabetic waiting to happen? And what's the significance of people's taste in nibbles? Red meat for the conservatives; canapes for the socialists. Meanwhile, those of us who prefer a fun party to a political party just abstain from eating altogether.
The survey is American, so how would it translate into British politics? Well, in my experience, fiscally unsound Labourites will drink anything that's put in front of them. So long as someone else is paying.
Or how would it translate into NZ politics.
I somewhat suspect that Labour politicians no longer drink beer, with the exception of Shane Jones and Damian O'Connor…they alone would drink beer and from the bottle.
If they were drinking beer it would probably be Stella Artois or that Mexican rubbish.
The Greens though they'd want something recycled…probably their own urine.
The Maori party would drink only Lion Brown…seems suitable if you get the pun.
Act? The younger hipster types would be Absinthe drinkers for sure. Top shelf for the older ones.
National…fine wines with quality beers for BBQs. The Young Nats would certainly hook into Farrar's free liquid panty remove…if only they were into chicks.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Very happy
Classic Leaves Save the Date Magnets We used the Classic Leaves template, but customized the colors and fonts, and they turned out great! There were no flaws in any of the magnets and they fit nicely in the envelopes. I was also pleased that the classic magnet and the silver lined envelopes they come with only require one postage stamp. We will definitely use MagnetStreet again.
Classic Leaves
Classic Leaves Save the Date Magnets I am thrilled with how these magnets turned out. The colors are beautiful and the fonts just perfect. Finding something simple that was not overly plain was not easy. This is exactly what we were looking for and really fits a Fall wedding. They came extremely well packaged in an equally beautiful box. I highly recommend!
Great quality & design

Just what I wanted
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Magnets Everything came neatly organized in a nice box. The color was exactly what I had pictured and the quality seems really good. I really like the personalization of the product but wish more options were available for the ceremony/invitations as the products in autumn stamp were limited compared to some other designs.

More than 850 Michiana residents gathered at UP Mall this weekend to show their support for Memorial Children's Hospital.
Monday night we learned just how much money they raised to help the countless children suffering from life-threatening illnesses.
More than $74,000 was collected during Saturday's Hearts of Gold Walk. Officials say they are still getting pledges online and receiving checks and cash in the mail, so that number could soon get even larger.
The funds will be used to expand medical services for kids in our region so they no longer have to travel hours away for care.

Whether the dispute is about divorce or the care of an elder parent, or something else, mediation is likely to produce a better result, sooner, and at less cost. By "better," I mean a resolution that fits the problem, that the folks involved came up with and thus, are likely to comply with.
By participating together in mediation, the family members improve communication and perhaps even their understanding of each other. This is a good preparation for future family decisions, whether co-parenting or elder care or any other.
Lawyers provide valuable legal advice. Anyone facing a divorce, Medicaid planning, or other law-related dispute should consult with a lawyer. But asking the lawyers to settle the dispute will not be as good for the family as resolving it in mediation.

Shot hole, also called Corenyum Blight, is a fungal disease that infects trees by causing lesions on buds, leaves, twigs, and fruit. This fungal disease flourishes during long wet springs, or warm wet winters. During the winter, it grows inside of trees and infects twigs and buds. As the fungus continues to grow, the leaves turn raggedy and fall. As a result, the tree will be unable to perform photosynthesis leaving it stressed to the point where it becomes more susceptible to insect attacks. Since this fungus is very hard to control, the best treatment would be to apply a preventive fungicide.
Take a look at what Kevin Caldwell, Owner of Caldwell Tree Care has to say about treating this issue in this new video.

text: On August 10, 1999, at 1407 central daylight time, a Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Blohm (Mbb) BO-105S helicopter, N2785R, was substantially damaged during takeoff when it collided with a parked helicopter on the Vermilion 250 helipad, located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The instrument rated commercial pilot and the three passengers were not injured. The helicopter was registered to Offshore Logistics, L.L.C., of Lafayette, Louisiana, and operated by Air Logistics, L.L.C., of New Iberia, Louisiana. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 on-demand air taxi flight and a company VFR flight plan was filed. The flight was originating at the time of the accident and was destined for Cameron, Louisiana. According to the pilot, the helicopter was positioned at the southwest corner of the helipad on a westerly heading, and he was preparing for takeoff. An unmanned, Bell 206L-3 helicopter, N367AL, was parked on the northeast corner of the same helipad. The pilot "advanced the throttles to 100%," and then as he reached to adjust the volume of the radios, the helicopter began "spinning to the left and sliding backwards." The collective was in the "DOWN" position (not locked) and the anti-torque pedals were in the "NEUTRAL" position when the helicopter began to spin and move backwards. The pilot stated that he applied "right pedal and forward cyclic" in an attempt to terminate the spinning. The helicopter contacted the parked Bell 206L-3 and completed one 360 degree revolution. The helicopter continued to spin to the left and contacted the Bell 206L-3 a second time; consequently, the Bell 206L-3 was knocked off of the platform and fell into the Gulf of Mexico. The helicopter completed a second revolution before coming to rest upright, in the "safety wire" at the edge of the platform.The pilot reported that at the time of the accident the winds were from the south, southwest at 30 knots.The pilot and two mechanics reported that the tailboom of the BO-105S was bent. They added that one of its main rotor blades was destroyed, and the remaining three main rotor blades were fractured approximately 3 feet inboard from the blade tips.An FAA inspector, a representative from American Eurocopter and a representative from Air Logistics L.L.C., examined the helicopter on August 16, 1999, at the Air Logistics facilities located in New Iberia, Louisiana. Anti-torque control continuity was established from the tail rotor blades through the tailboom to the anti-torque control pedals in the cockpit. Control continuity was established from the cyclic and collective cockpit controls to the main rotor blades. No mechanical anomalies were observed during the examination.

Saturday 18 February 2012: 15/30 - Silhouette
Day 15 of the 30 day challenge and I left it a bit late to get a 'proper' silhouette. I got stuck under a sleeping Smoosh and by the time she woke up it was dark. So this is the best you're going to get I'm afraid: part silhouette, part halo.
Clauds had so much fun in the bath today. An empty shower gel bottle proved far too much fun when Daddy pretended to sneeze and squirted her with it. This provided a good 30 minute's entertainment, eliciting the most wonderful giggles and belly laughs.
Amy had fun in her room. I sat her up in her cot opposite a mirror and she had great fun shouting at herself. Then Daddy played "here comes the hand to cover your face" which got some amazing chuckles.
They're both worn out now, bless them.
Anyway, poor effort, photographically, on my part today but better luck tomorrow with my first ever attempt at long exposure!
