City child care task force asks province for $74.4 million
Education minister says the mayor made it clear he didn't need more money.

The City of Toronto needs another $74.4 million from the province or more than 2,000 daycare spaces will have to be closed, the mayor's task force on child care has found.
And that's only a Band-Aid solution, says Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, the task force chair.
To stabilize the system, the city needs $123 million to cover an increase in the cost of living and pay for thousands of unfunded spaces the city subsidizes.
"This is not an issue that the City of Toronto can solve locally. This is a situation created by the province and is one that can only be resolved by the province," said Mammoliti.
Education Minister Laurel Broten said the province is willing to talk with the city, but that significant investments are already being made in that area.
"What's surprising to me is that when Mayor (Rob) Ford met with Premier (Dalton) McGuinty in advance of the election he made it clear that he was not looking for additional funding and now we're hearing from the city that they are," said Broten.
The province already gives the city $262 million in child care funding and at the moment, ministry officials are focused on implementing all-day kindergarten across Ontario by 2014.
"All-day kindergarten will transform lives. It will concretely save families up to $6,500 a year," she said. "I think (Mammoliti's) out of touch with families and I don't know that he knows the history of this file that well."
Ford named Mammoliti, a trusted ally on council and a former MPP, as chair of the task force in July. To the annoyance of some opposition councillors, Mammoliti has been holding his meetings behind closed doors.
Janet Davis, a left-leaning councillor who represents Beaches-East York, said the province has been open to coming up with funding in the past.
"I just hope nothing rash is done (while these discussions occur). There is a reserve fund that will be enough to cover all of next year," she said.
When asked if spots could be closed as early as 2012, Mammoliti was not clear.

Reviews of Bags of Love
I am very pleased with the cookie tin I ordered. It was much bigger than I realized but that was okay. I was surprised at how quickly it arrived too. I am happy with my purchase.
I love my lampshade. I searched for a while trying to find a company that made it how I wanted. It was a simple process to design and having the live chat was a bonus. My only recommendation is to make the preview function better as it was difficult to see what the final product would really look
both scarves arrive on time and are beautifully made. these are not the first scarves that I have bought on this site. the first ones turned out so beautifully that i decided to order more, with different photos, for other people as christmas presnts.
Happy to receive the scarf in such quick time. Only 6 days from placing the order until the scarf arrived. Very happy with the 'touch of the silk". A friend helped me place the order and edited my photo selection to make sure I had snaps with the most pixels. The reason I ordered this scarf:my daugh
I had some shipping questions and request, the customer rep (Adina) was outstanding! extremely helpful and delivered as promised. would definitely recommend your company to anyone who asked. Thank again.

I would personally like to see both Tinordi and Beaulieu play, but they are both left D. Emelin and Markov take up two spots, leaving room for one of them. I am not one of the many who think Emelin should be moved - big mistake. We have all too often given up on D's in the past (Langway, Chelios, Desjardins, Robidas, Beauchamps, McDonagh to mane a few).

According to Wikipedia, Bouillon's mother is French Canadian, father's from Haiti. Moved to Quebec when he was three. But he retains his American citizenship. However, I don't think heritage is the issue in Bouillon's case though - it is a trust issue for the coach, who tends to develop his young players slowly (a bit excessively in the eyes of most fans I would say).

FunkyCrabChairNF: I read your posts with interest. You had every reason to argue the quite ridiculous post from Habfan10912, but doing it in a calm and sensible way always gets you much further. Using denigrating words like a-hole gets you nowhere, especially on blogs like this where everyone can hide behind a computer screen. You'd be much better off arguing the points without getting inflammatory.

I have watched the Habs since 1968. The demise of this franchise has been something to behold. The issues: 1. Terrible management pre-Bergevin. Little by little, management had given away our assets and talent has been frittered away. The present team is a reflection of this in large part. 2. For the last 15-20 years, the focus has been on copying the NJ Devils trap system instead of playing Montreal Canadiens firewagon hockey. I keep hearing how we haven't had the horses for this style of hockey, and I say B.S. The best hockey is one with a strong forecheck, not this neutral zone crap. 3. Probably the most important aspect: There has been way too much emphasis on hiring coaches who are French Canadian. Talk about limiting yourself!!! Crazy is what it is. Maybe the Dallas Stars should just hire coaches from Texas?? Can anyone name the most successful coach in Habs history? Surely no one from Quebec would be against hiring the next Scotty Bowman. A continuation of the policy of hiring coaching retreads like Therrien, Martin, etc, will keep the franchise from improving. 4. I would continue to focus on building through the draft. Like others on this site, I would also definitely be focusing on selling the vets including, unfortunately, Markov. 5. The thing is, I like Bergevin - a lot. You can just tell, he is bright, articulate, knows the game. He has made a couple of doozy mistakes that I cannot explain (signing DD, Briere, to a lesser extent Murray); it seems that he signed them just to buy some time. There has been a push here and on other blogs to bring up Tinordi, Pateryn, etc, now. There is no doubt that Bergevin has been hesitant to do this, not wanting to make some of the same mistakes of his predecessors. He is in it for the long haul, nurturing his young players to learn and grow before they get to the big show, and this makes sense to me. But there is no doubt, that the present team looks lost. I think, unfortunately, that Bergevin thinks of Therrien as a place-holder until the younger crop of players arrive in 2-3 years. All I know is that it is hard to watch.

Inspired by Zoe of So Zo's way of refashioning a shirt in the refashioners 2013 even though it was a maternity garment I thought I could still wear it without being pregnant replacing the elastic below the bust with elastic at my natural waist.
This shirt was originally my dads so it was quite a bit bigger than me. As there was some damage done to the top of the collar I chopped the top of that off and turned the rest of it over. I removed the sleeves and measured how big the sleeve holes needed to be, sewing a line down from that point. Then I measured where my natural waist was and sewed elastic round that point. This shirt is great to wear with skirts, and I'm sure I will get a lot of use out of it in sixth form next year.

Nashua officials debate pros, cons of tablets
Aldermen participating in meetings at Nashua City Hall all use different electronic devices to obtain information, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc., according to Alderman-at-Large Barbara Pressly, who worries some of the activity on certain devices could possibly cause right-to-know violations.
"What we have been doing sort of bumps up against the right-to-know," she said.
McCarthy is hopeful the Board of Aldermen can go paperless in the upcoming fiscal year. He has drafted a proposed ordinance regarding the issue.
"I kind of like paper," Alderman-at-Large David Deane said earlier this week at an aldermanic Personnel and Administrative Affairs Committee meeting.
Eliminating paper would be an efficient use of staff time and technology, according to Alderman-at-Large Lori Wilshire, who is in favor of the ordinance.
Members must adhere to that advice on their own, he said.
The committee ultimately voted in support of the proposal, which will now go forward to the full Board of Aldermen for a final vote.
And the third option will still allow for the old-fashioned paper distribution of materials.

As part of "Degrees not Debt" actions this week, students from several CSU campuses and community colleges rallied outside the CSU Board of Trustees in Long Beach Thursday to protest so-called "student success fees" being considered by the board and already in effect on 11 campuses. The fees, totaling nearly $800 per student, are viewed by many as tuition hikes.
Protesters had support from CSU faculty members as well as CTA Board members. The event was organized by NEA, the California Faculty Association (CFA) and Students for Quality Education (SQE).
Inside the trustee meeting, while a few students from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo spoke in favor of maintaining local control of the use of student fees and seemed to support what their campus was using them for, the majority of students criticized the fees as an unfair tuition hike that is putting a university education out of reach for many current and prospective students.

Local educational agencies (LEAs) now have access to the first official calculations of how the $42 billion in school funding under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) will be distributed.
"California's new funding formula puts more decisions about education funding where they belong—in the hands of schools, parents, and teachers—and dedicates more resources to students most in need," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. "The information we are providing today will help administrators, teachers, and parents as they work together to help all students succeed."
The calculations for school districts and charter schools are displayed in the traditional funding exhibits. In addition, LEAs now can review a
"LCFF Funding Snapshot", a step toward transparency and accountability, providing a concise two-page summary of the main components of the LCFF transitional funding and information on each LEA's attendance, LCFF entitlements, and funding sources. The data are also translated graphically.
Wednesday night the Budget Conference Committee voted to place this language in a trailer bill. However, management folks (CSBA, CASBO, ACSA and all other large districts' management lobbyists) are protesting and very busy calling the Legislature and telling them that this is not fiscally prudent and that a cap on reserves would be a hardship to districts. We all know… that is not true.
A recent press conference held at the award-winning Marylin Avenue Elementary in Livermore highlighted new research showing how the Quality Education Investment Act is helping high-poverty schools excel and thrive. More time for professional development is making a big difference at the school, as are smaller class sizes and more resources provided by what is the largest school turnaround law of its kind in the nation.
For its academic gains, Marylin Avenue Elementary won an achievement award from California Business for Education Excellence, and its faculty collaboration is making headlines.
When Supt. of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson says the check is in the mail, he means it.
The state's public schools are beginning to receive $622 million, the first installment of a California budget appropriation of $1.25 billion to help educators fully implement the ambitious national Common Core State Standards (CCSS). These standards are designed to help all students achieve academic excellence and acquire critical thinking and other skills required to succeed in college and their careers.
Under state law, districts can decide how best to use their allotment of the funds to train teachers, buy materials, and purchase technology.
"Allocating $1 billion to help local school districts implement the Common Core State Standards is great and welcome news for California's students. The money is much-needed to provide training, professional development, textbooks and materials," said CTA President Dean E. Vogel. "The transition to the Common Core State Standards will dramatically impact how teachers teach. Educators must have the support and resources they need in order for the new standards to be implemented effectively."
New independent research shows that the kinds of proven reforms provided by a CTA-backed state school turnaround program is helping hundreds of at-risk California schools improve and innovate, CTA President Dean E. Vogel announced today in a news conference at a successful elementary school in the program.
The Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) targets low-income schools like Harmon Johnson Elementary in the Twin Rivers Unified School District. The high-poverty school is flourishing and recently won a high-profile national award for excellence. The school has been receiving extra resources due to the QEIA law of 2006. Parental involvement and volunteering have soared at the school as well.
"With QEIA, we are finding new and effective ways to help our vulnerable students and to discover practices that all teachers can learn from," said CTA President Dean Vogel. "New research shows that these proven reforms are leading to positive impacts in achievement, school reputation, school climate and parent engagement. This is exciting to see and watch."
Last November, you said NO to the secret Super PACs' agenda and helped the Alliance for a Better California defeat the deceptive Proposition 32. We want to thank you for your support.
During the campaign, we learned that the group 'Americans for Responsible Leadership' was actually a front used to funnel $11 million into California from anonymous donors trying to gain more power for special interests.
But even after being exposed, the Super PACs still refuse to name their real donors.
The state's Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) began investigating the dark money groups last year and has already forced them to admit to their deception. They are empowered to expose the special interests for who they really are and fine them for breaking California law.
Help us unmask the Super PAC Billionaires now. Sign our petition to urge the FPPC to fast-track their investigation.
Californians deserve a speedy resolution to this issue to reveal the truth and preserve the integrity of our election process. Sign our petition today and help us ensure that this never happens again.
P.S. To learn more about our fight against the Super PACs, please read this news story.
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014A great place to relax and catch up with friends as you share a pot of cheese, dipping sauce or chocolate. The ambiance is casual elegance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely night out!weekenderDined on 11/21/2014Such a fun and tasty way to have dinner. Very friendly staff, tasty food, very enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upscale Dining for Special OccasionsMichaelDined on 11/19/2014The Melting Pot is a great, though expensive restaurant, perfect for get-togethers with friends or special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. If you've never eaten at a fondue restaurant before, here's how it works. Entrees are specially prepared for you in bite-sized pieces, but come out raw. The selection ranges from chicken, steak, shrimp, duck, and more, each prepared in various ways. Everything is cooked by you in a fondue pot in the center of the table. Pieces generally take about 2 minutes to cook, which forces a slower eating pace and more conversational dining experience. This is what makes The Melting Pot a great restaurant for groups of friends, and it also allows you to enjoy the ambience of the restaurant, which is great. For my dinner, I took my girlfriend out to dinner for her birthday. The restaurant offered special options for making my reservation on OpenTable. I opted to have three roses and six chocolate-covered strawberries waiting for her at our table, as well as a bottle of wine. We each had the 4-Course Entree, which included cheese fondue as the first course. We chose the lobster cheese special with bread and fruit pieces. For our second course, we had the Fall Salad with Angry Orchard Vinaigrette special. For the third course, I had teriyaki-marinated sirloin, honey orange duck breast, shrimp, and chicken potstickers. My girlfriend had filet mignon, herb-crusted chicken, and shrimp. The Bourguignonne cooking style included canola oil for cooking and tempura and sesame batters to coat our pieces in before cooking. For the fourth course, we had chocolate fondue with a variety of dessert pieces, including rice crispies squares, Oreo-coated marshmallows, graham cracker coated marshmallows, strawberries, pound cake pieces and more. Everything was exceptional, and I would strongly recommend visiting. However, keep in mind that this is not a cheap dinner; expect to pay at least $30-40 per person, at least for the 4-course entrees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- daughters 18th birthdayWestOGDined on 11/16/2014We made a reservation for the melting pot because it's our go to special occasion restaurant. mr tan and staff out did themselves. They made my daughter feel special from the time she walked in the door. They wished her happy birthday, they gave her a card, the server made sure she ordered first and she said she could not have asked for a better night or a better meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurant for all types of occasions!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/9/2014We had a group of 9 people on a Sunday afternoon for a birthday lunch. Our service was fantastic! We were helped by Tim at our large table, and he was patient, friendly, and took time to explain the menu to us, in addition to giving us recommendations for courses. I was happy to find that they also had vegetarian options. We were also helped by a gentleman, who I believe was the manager, who was also very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean, beautifully decorated, and had a welcoming atmosphere. I felt that this was a great experience, and would recommend the Fredericksburg location to anyone looking for a great dining experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful family mealbusyfamilyDined on 11/3/2014My family - two children ages 9 and 11 plus my husband and I - ate at Melting Pot to celebrate my daughter's birthday. A birthday card from the restaurant was presented to her upon arrival. All staff went out of their way to provide great service. The restaurant was intimate, friendly and an overall delight. My daughter felt special and we all enjoyed the attention to detail given by the staff during our visit. It was a wonderful evening... My husband was skeptical about going originally but now is their biggest fan!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First TimersOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/1/2014Very unique experience with great service and good food. We both enjoyed our orders, and the wine pairing, but remember not to touch the skewer metal pieces, they get hot!Special Features:
- wonderful experiencevagirlDined on 10/19/2014We celebrated our anniversary there. Everything was wonderful from the food to the server!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- special promotionsAdviceDined on 10/13/2014I enjoy the special promotion nights. I've gone for date night and endless cheese and chocolate, both occassions were ones I would attend again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Your taste buds will love you!BuzzBriggsDined on 10/13/2014The cheese fondues are flavorful and delectable. try a couple types of cheese and finish with the chocolate of your choice. Always friendly and fast service, but they let you stay a while and enjoy both the food and the conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed very much....OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/11/2014I have been twice now. Once for the all you can eat cheese and chocolate, and once for 4 course meal. I think I preferred the all you can eat cheese and chocolate. I wasn't really crazy about the meats. Nothing wrong with it, just wasn't my thing.... Definitely recommend it for special times, but too expensive for regular meal out.Special Features:
- birthdayROMANCEDined on 10/5/2014We took our daughter on her 12th birthday with five of her friends. None of them had ever been and they had an absolute blast. They loved the cheese, cooking the meat and fought over the chocolate like they hadn't eaten in a week. I had never seen the chocolate bowls scrapped clean until now. The food was wonderful and all had a terrific time. This is a great place to bring a group for a party and celebrate family style.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding service and food!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/28/2014My husband and I went here to celebrate my birthday. Our server was attentive and met all our needs. The food, as usual for the Melting Pot was fantastic. They even had my favorite chocolate fondue, the White Chocolate Creme Brulee. Thanks for a great evening!Special Features:
- The Melting Pot Really Melts...LadybugladyDined on 9/26/2014...in your mouth, literally. The food was to die for! Loved every bite! My husband and I went for the first time Friday evening and we don't make a lot of money but it was my birthday, so we splurged. It was worth every cent! I can't wait to go back again! Our waiter(Tim I think) was great! He was very attentive, relaxed, and was on top of all our needs. The Melting Pot was not just dining, it was an experience for everyone to try at least once in their lives. Thank you!Special Features:
- It's nice enoughTravisDined on 9/26/2014So, it's pricey and it's fondue so you have to cook your own food. The marinades are good as are the sauces and in the end it is pretty tasty. If you aren't the great conversationalist, or, if, like my wife and I, you have talked everything else to death and just don't have a lot new to talk about anymore, working through how long to cook what and what sauce to pair it with gives you something to conversate about and can make for an enjoyable evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What funOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014Our server has just the right balance of fun and knowledge of cuisine. The restaurant had a nice ambiance, and had just enough background noise to know you weren't at home but, quiet enough to carry conversation with my wife. The food was great, seasoned well, and the sauce was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful DinnermypaintedhorseDined on 9/21/2014Another great date night visit to the Melting Pot. Great service, wonderful food and very quiet atmosphere for enjoying dinner with your spouse or date. This restaraunt never disappoints.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We really enjoyed our mealDanaFromStaffordVADined on 9/14/2014Visited for a special occasion, and our first time eating there. Will definitely be back. We received everything we requested (which included a quiet table away from the restrooms). Our server, Melissa, very happily and efficiently educated us on what to do, she was lovely. Food was good (although I would leave out the nutmeg on the new Alpine Fondue next time). When it was time to pay the bill, my requested box of chocolate covered strawberries was delivered as requested. Restrooms clean and nice, liked the folded paper towels. Not a place suitable for small kids. Overall, good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- welllllllllllllfood101Dined on 9/13/2014Was expecting more of unique dining. The restaurant was beyond cold and very uncomfortable and the cheese fondue was fair not warm enough until the waiter came back several times to correct the temp.. Waiter rushed thru how to use fondue to really be able to enjoy. He was very rushed and for the price we would have expected better.Special Features:
- That special little placemeloyelo51Dined on 9/10/2014Food is great, service is even better. This was my second visit and very romantic setting for an anniversary. It's nice to have an upscale privete dinner where most everything else around this area is just the fancy chains where everyone else is dining there all around you and gets a little loud.Special Features:
- Pleasantly SurprisedpmrthirdVIPDined on 9/10/2014Never had to desire to go hear as I thought it was just cheese and chocolate. Well, I decided to give it a try. A lot of great food selections and went with the build your own trio...chose duck breast, shrimp and ahi tuna. I found it fun and very good, especially all the different dipping sauces. Tuesday, any glass of wine is $5. I also never order dessert but was compelled to try. It too was very good. Tried the dark chocolate with a Cointreau. Once again, very good! I want to go back with a friend next time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service was great!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014Service was great but the cost was outrageous for the amount of food you get!Special Features:

- Worth the nightfburgfoodguyDined on 8/30/2014You don't eat fondue every night, but Melting Pot is good for a special date night. Food is tasty and the setting is nice for private conversations. Be prepared to take your time. There are a couple of up charges related to cooking method but it is worth it.Special Features:

- Went for the expierence only .AnniversarydinnerDined on 8/4/2014We went for our anniversary. Food was ok. Resturant was good. Server just ok; not real friendly. Would not go every year even if I could afford. Way overpriced for amount of food you got. Once again, only went for experience and to say that we have done it. Would not go back or recommend.Special Features:
- OutstandingGreatDined on 8/4/2014We took our son for his 14th birthday and it was great! The waiter was very friendly and provided outstanding service.

- Cheese, chocolate, YUM, YUM.RenLadyDined on 7/14/2014Have been to Melting pot several time but this was the first unlimited cheese and chocolate outing. It was wonderful.

Great food and nice quiet place to enjoy the company of others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining not eatingBlessedDined on 7/14/2014The Melting Pot is a family favorite. Put away the phones and enjoy a social dining experience or a romantic date.

- Date NightSlvsYDined on 7/9/2014My wife and I enjoy a memorable date night. The food, from cheese to chocolate fondue, was delicious and was appropriately cut. Being able to add special amenities to receive before, during and after the dining made the experience more enhanced. The waiter was very in tune with the menu and blend of foods, and very polite. The owners presence throughout made us feel that they actual care about you as a customer.

Mechanical failure-an inconvenience anytime it occurs-can be deadly in the winter. Preventive maintenance is a must. Besides, a well-maintained car is more enjoyable to drive, will last longer, and could get a higher resale price.
To make sure you're prepared for winter travel, read your owner's manual and follow the manufacturer's recommended service schedule. Then follow these tips:
* Make sure your heater and defroster work.
* Replace old windshield wiper blades. In harsh climates, buy rubber-clad (winter) blades to fight ice buildup. Stock up on windshield washer solvent and carry an ice scraper.
* Inspect all lights and bulbs. Replace burned-out bulbs and periodically clean road grime from all lenses.
* Examine your tires. Evaluate them for remaining tread life, uneven wearing, and cupping; scan the sidewalls for cuts and nicks. Check your tire pressure once a month and have tires rotated as recommended. Don't forget your spare and make sure the jack is in good condition.
* Keep an eye on your battery. Routinely scrape away corrosion from posts and cable connections, making sure you avoid contact with corrosive deposits and battery acid (wear eye protection and rubber gloves). Clean all surfaces and retighten all connections. If battery caps are removable, check fluid levels monthly. Have your repair shop check the charge on your battery before a road trip.
* Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual. If your driving is mostly stop-and-go or you do a lot of short trips, change it more often (every 3,000 miles).
* Prevent fuel line freezes. Put a bottle of fuel deicer in your tank once a month or keep your gas tank filled to keep moisture from freezing in your fuel line.
* Get engine problems fixed. Before cold weather makes existing problems worse, get problems such as hard starts, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, and so on fixed. Ask your repairman to replace any dirty filters.
* Have your cooling system completely flushed and refilled as recommended. Check the level, condition, and concentration of the coolant periodically.
* Have your repair shop examine your exhaust system. Your vehicle should be placed on a lift and the exhaust system examined for leaks. The trunk and floorboards should be inspected for small holes.
* Be prepared for emergencies. Carry gloves, boots, blankets, flares, a small shovel, sand or cat box filler, tire chains, a flashlight, and a cell phone. Put a few "high-energy" snacks in your glove box.

No one likes a bad deal.
In Rio Rancho, Laurie Kramer bought rodeo tickets that she later learned were well overpriced.
She didn't realize she bought them off a third-party website after clicking on a Google ad; a site which jacked up the prices significantly.
She paid $69 each for tickets that originally went for just $24 face value.
Santa Ana Star Center General Manager Gunnar Fox said, believe it or not, there are people who fall victim to third-party ticket sites for events at the Star Center several times per month.
He's not surprised that out-of-state sites do this.
"You know, we bring world-class entertainment to Rio Rancho, and when you bring world-class entertainment, this is the kind of thing you're going to deal with," Fox said.
That's why Fox preaches ticket buying education.
Yes, Laurie Kramer got a lesson. She hopes you can learn from her mistake.

I've been adopted a great couple who recognized me as the delightfully, loving diva that I am!
Hello. My name is Rapunzel. I am a very pretty, spayed, mini-lop girl who is eager to find love and happiness.
It's amazing how friendly I still am considering that I was treated very cruelly at my former "home." The people I lived with tied my ears up very tightly with stretchy bands, which was not only very uncomfortable, but it also caused very deep, painful and bleeding wounds at the base of both of my ears. Then they left me at a shelter, because they didn't want me anymore.
I am healed now---physically and emotionally and would love to find a great home with lots of indoor space to run and play and a kind human to love me for the rest of my life.
Won't you please consider adopting me?

Initially, we were using jQuery utility methods to make things faster. However, IE 9/10 they became more powerful and they came up with many prototype methods which are now faster than any other library's utility methods. I will discuss and compare looping utility and + overloading methods today.

The excellent Public Domain Review is making its first foray into print with a new anthology, The Book of Selected Essays, 2011–2013, celebrating their three years as dedicated spelunkers of the public domain. They've amassed an incredible collection of esoterica—stuff that, as their editor Adam Green writes, "didn't quite make the cut when that mysterious editor on high was working away with razor blade and glue upon the reels and reels of recorded past"—much of which I hadn't encountered before. How, for instance, had I never heard of Christopher Smart?
Smart was an eighteenth-century English poet, an intimate of Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, and Henry Fielding; in 1755 he got a gig producing a weekly paper, The Universal Visitor or Monthly Memorialist, and the job so overworked him that he had some kind of a nervous fit. It's not clear whether he really went mad or not, but he was admitted to St. Luke's Hospital for Lunatics—an admirably blunt name, no?—where he wrote one of his more enduring works, Jubilate Agno.
As Frank Key writes in the Public Domain Review,
Smart never completed the work, which consists of four fragments making a total of over 1,200 lines, each beginning with the words "Let" or "For". For example, Fragment A is all "Let"s, whereas in Fragment B the "Let"s and "For"s are paired, which may have been the intention for the entire work, modelled on antiphonal Hebrew poetry. References and allusions abound to Biblical (especially Old Testament) figures, plants and animals, gems, contemporary politics and science, the poet's family and friends, even obituary lists in current periodicals. The language is full of puns, archaisms, coinages, and unfamiliar usages. Dr Johnson famously said "Nothing odd will do long; Tristram Shandy did not last." Jubilate Agno is, if anything, "odder" than Sterne's novel, and perhaps we are readier to appreciate it in the twenty-first century than when it was written.
Indeed we are. "One of the great joys of Jubilate Agno," Key says, "is in its sudden dislocations and unexpected diversions." Nowhere is this more evident than in the poem's most famous passage, a long consideration of Smart's cat, Jeoffry: Read More »

On William Gass's In the Heart of the Heart of the Country.
In the heart of the heart of William Gass's In the Heart of the Heart of the Country, deep inside the title story, the narrator contemplates his cat, Mr. Tick: "You are a cat—you cannot understand—you are a cat so easily." The confident Mr. Tick, unlike the narrator, does not worry over his mortality or think about the burden of self-consciousness. He does not care that the past is past. He does not fear possibility or imagine himself as anything other than the cat he is. Mr. Tick spends his time murdering birds and walking across rooftops. Content just to be alive, he moves elegantly, "his long tail rhyming with his paws," leaving our forlorn narrator to fend off loneliness on his own, with the only weapon he has at his disposal: words.
Words are free, there for the taking, and William Gass makes sure we are aware of their infinite potential. Words can be used to command, to describe, to denigrate. They can be strung into sentences and bellowed in a song "in such a way that from a distance it will seem a harmony, a Strindberg play, a friendship ring." We understand nuance and learn how to prepare for consequence with the help of words. We can make beautiful things with words. Those inclined can dare to treat the medium of language as an inexhaustible source of art.
Art is the business of serious writers, Gass insists. A brilliant essayist as well as one of this nation's most important novelists, he argues in his essay "Philosophy and the Form of Fiction" that the task for a serious writer is twofold: "He must show or exhibit his world, and to do this he must actually make something, not merely describe something that might be made." In his emphasis on making, Gass, who turned ninety this year, is proposing that the meaning generated by a work of fiction goes beyond its mimetic familiarity. The purpose of an imaginative narrative isn't to confirm what we think we already know about reality; rather, it offers "a record of the choices, inadvertent or deliberate, the author has made from all the possibilities of language." A fictional cat may reflect qualities of a real cat, but it is better appreciated as a product of the author's agile mind. Read More »
Everyday Blasphemies
November 12, 2014 | by Paul Murray
Dubliners at one hundred.
It was a priest who first convinced me to read Dubliners. On the face of it, this might seem strange. Joyce had a lifelong hatred of clergymen, and claimed the sight of one made him physically ill; in "The Sisters," the opening story of Dubliners, he chose a senescent priest as the first, and arguably most disturbing, of the many images of decay and paralysis that pervade the book. But in the Dublin of my teens, the priests were running the show; it was even possible for priests to be celebrities, and it was the most famous of these who took my class on retreat at the end of Transition Year, in June 1991.
Joyce writes about a religious retreat in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, in which an unnamed preacher terrifies the boys with a lengthy description of the torments of hell. Ours wasn't like that. There were beanbags and unlimited biscuits; the celebrity cleric, who had become famous in the sixties as the Singing Priest and latterly hosted a hugely popular radio show, spoke to us like we were his friends. Even though the retreat consisted for the most part of the usual list of prohibitions—don't do drugs, don't have sex—his gravelly voice and inner-city accent gave him a convincing authenticity. Then, for reasons I still can't quite understand—modernist literature was not at that point high on our list of temptations—he started talking about James Joyce. According to the Singing Priest, Joyce was one of the greatest hoaxes ever to be perpetrated on the Irish people. Far from being a genius, he was a charlatan, a phony, a false prophet. Furthermore, the priest continued, nobody in the world had actually read his famous novel Ulysses, and anyone who claimed otherwise was a liar.
Well, this came as a surprise. My father was a professor of Irish literature at Joyce's alma mater, University College Dublin; in his study at home he had multiple copies of Joyce's books, including Ulysses, as well as innumerable books about Joyce's books. Had he been pulling the wool over our eyes for all these years? Read More »
In Which André Malraux Kills Death
November 3, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
André Malraux was born today in 1901, and his first novel, Paper Moons (Lunes en papier), was published when he was only twenty. If that provokes pangs of jealousy, bear in mind that the print run was limited to 112 copies. The National Library of the Netherlands has a terrific post about the first edition, which was published by Éditions de la Galerie Simon, one of the most forward-thinking publishers of its day.
As that small print-run indicates, Simon wasn't a major operation. Malraux's publisher, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, had a shrewd and prescient eye for writers and artists. He was also an art dealer, one of the first to find merit in the work of the Cubists, who were largely written off as pretentious pranksters at the time. As a publisher, he sought work that "accomplished in words what the Cubists did with paint"; accordingly, he published early work by Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Raymond Radiguet, Pierre Reverdy, and Antonin Artaud, among others, often with artwork from his friends. In the case of Lunes en papier he called on Fernand Léger to contribute several wood engravings. This was not, it must be said, a popular or canny decision at the time:
Léger [had] caused a sensation at the Salon des Indépendants in 1911 with his Nude in the Woods (Nus dans la forêt). Kahnweiler was immediately intrigued and attempted to contact its creator, who had previously made a living as a draughtsman for an architectural firm. Léger was mockingly called "tubiste" because of his tube-like presentations: he felt isolated and unappreciated.
As for the novel itself:
Lunes en papier continually subverts the reader's expectations, starting with the cryptic subtitle and the warning in the front of the book: "There is nothing symbolical in this book." The three stories are absurdist in nature, with strange plot turns and metaphors, airy, sometimes humorous in tone, while still dealing with seemingly serious matters, and ending with the death of Death … Malraux would later qualify his first effort as a "gloire de café." But it suited the Surrealist and Dadaist ideas of its time extremely well.
There's a translated excerpt from Cipher Journal that includes the bit where Death dies. More specifically, Death—a woman in a dinner jacket that makes her look like an insect—receives a visit from a dubious physician, who informs her that she may be going bald. He prepares her a bath of nitric acid. She slides on in and begins to corrode; by the time her servant intervenes, it's too late, and Death has resigned herself to dying. Read More »

Lessons from Rare Book School.
Four stories underneath the stately Georgian campus of the University of Virginia, I was with a group of rare-book experts scrutinizing a five-hundred-year-old Italian woodcut of two chubby infants. They framed a capital letter L. One, with a look of insouciant concentration, was thrusting his butt over the downslope of the L to defecate on it.
"The woodcut accompanies Andreas Vesalius's discourse on the muscles of excretion," Roger Gaskell, a rare-book dealer based in Cambridgeshire, told the group. It turns out that Vesalius, the Renaissance physician remembered today as the father of modern anatomy, had an intensely strained relationship with his publishers. "This initial letter differs from the others in the book—despite the fact that the printing house had a perfectly good L already cut," Gaskell said. "So I rather suspect this shitting putti was a message to his publisher."
Over a coffee break, the members of Gaskell's seminar mingled with three others led by such luminaries as Mark Dimunation, the chief of the rare-book division at the Library of Congress. They were gathered in a warren of windowless basement rooms for an annual rite of passage in the world of antiquarian texts: Rare Book School. Read More »

Italy in the Years of Lead.
In the Italy I first knew, the Italy of the midseventies, political debate seemed to constitute the molten core of every dramatic conversation. My Italian was good and improving, but it never really got good enough to penetrate the mist of political verbiage. "Compagni, cioè, nella misura in cui" was the standard Italian catchphrase, mocking the loopy revolutionary discourse of the time: "Comrades, I mean, to the extent to which…" If the militant jargon was eye-glazing, the newspapers printed a language that can only be compared to the incense-clouded Latin of the Catholic Mass, a series of hieratic shibboleths that resembled Abstract Expressionist dance, the high holies and sacred mysteries of a Kabuki facade behind which deals were being cut.
But one aspect of the political debate became dazzlingly clear to me on a July afternoon in 1977 when my flatmate Angela burst into the small apartment we shared; she had the day's newspaper and sat down to read it at the kitchen table. Angela was tall, with a crazed serpent's nest of curly, hennaed red hair, intensely exorbital brown eyes, stunningly uneven buckteeth, and a dangerous temper. She dressed in the uniform of leftist Italian students: vest over peasant blouse, long embroidered skirt, Dr. Scholl's clogs, oversize velvet purse riding at hip height.
As she read one article, something broke in her usually impetuous demeanor. "Oh, mamma mia, quanto mi dispiace," she keened softly, expressing her sorrow. A NAP militant—Antonio Lo Muscio—had been shot and killed by police on a piazza in Rome, and two female comrades were shot and wounded. Angela was openly mourning the death of people who had killed policemen and hoped to overthrow the state.
