Summer memories on display for Merritt Beach. The Cass County Historical Society Museum's summer newsletter says there will be a temporary exhibit at the museum from next Tuesday (7/30) to October 27th that will feature a collection of photographs, postcards, scrapbook pages and other memorabilia from the popular summertime location that attracted visitors from all directions. The "Beautiful Merritt Beach" exhibit items are from a recently-donated collection from Nancy Merritt Martin.
The Cassgram reports Merritt Beach was in operation from 1930 to 1989, according to the newsletter. (For those of you new to the county, Merritt Beach was the lake just south of the Platte River on the east side of Highway 75.)
A current exhibit at the museum is "Aprons." Many beautiful hand-made aprons are on view through August 25th.
The museum is open noon to 4pm Tuesday through Sunday through October and then is closed on Sundays too beginning in November.

A lavender-stuffed teddy bear has "tapped the cultural psyche of 30-year-old Chinese ladies," reports Dinny McMahon in The Wall Street Journal (4/10/14). The Bobbie Bear, as it is known, is essential a by-product of Bridestowe Lavender Estate, a "lavender farm" in a "remote corner of Australia. In 2007, the farm's owner, Robert Ravens, "started making teddy bears as a way to use the shed-loads of dried lavender that came with the farm" and then began "selling the bears to market the farm for tourism."
Demand, "almost solely from China," is so great that Robert has had to stop "shipping overseas," no longer takes orders online and imposes a quota of one bear per farm visitor. Bridestowe "stuffed 30,000 bears last year — up from 3,500 in 2011 and 7,500 in 2012 — and expects to double production this year, using a full ton of lavender for stuffing, rather than for aromatic oils, its original use … The annual number of visitors" to his farm, meanwhile, "has nearly tripled in six years to 60,000 in 2013."
The Chinese mania for Bobbie Bears is attributed to a "desire for peace of mind after recurring food and product safety scandals at home." "Anything natural from somewhere with blue skies and clean air and water is dreamy for Chinese consumers," says Chen Huan of Shanghai, who "bought four bears — three as gifts — from a friend." Some apparently microwave the bears and use them as a heat pack. Knock-offs are a problem, but Robert says it's easy to identify fakes, which he says lack a certain "rich and deep" aroma.

San Francisco's Best Dim Sum?
Hey Chowhounds,
I am a NY chowhound visiting till Sunday night and want a taste for San Francisco's most authentic, tastiest dim sum. Location is not so important, just quality. I'm not scared of dingy chinatown digs, and I'll wake extra early for the city's best. If you could also suggest dishes not to miss at particular restaurants that would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Since you mentioned "dingy" I'll recommend my personal favorite (and duck before the neatnicks throw their bricks). That would be the cavernous Y. Ben House on Pacific between Stockton and Powell Streets. I'd say anything from the carts is good if you can grab it while it's hot, but I'm partiuclarly fond of the stuffed tofu skin (both the braised and the deep fried versions). And for an "anchor" dish for the table, the seafood chow fun is one of the best dishes of any kind at any Chinatown restaurant that I know of.
Also worthy, but less dingy, are Gold Mountain on Broadway (carts) and Lichee Garden on Powell (no carts, but trays).
So as not to reinvent the wheel, here's a recent thread on the subject.
Checkout Good Luck Dim Sum in new Ctown on Clement. Loved by three generations of my family!
On a recent visit to San Francisco we went to Good Luck Dim Sum on Clement. Hole in the wall, dirt cheap, good dim sum. You order at a counter. Clement Street has other very good Asian restaurants. We enjoyed The House of Clay Pot, especially the fish with corn sauce. Taiwan restaurant for dumplings. Burma Superstar for fabulous Samusa Soup. One of the best soups I have ever had. We enjoyed Great Eastern in Chinatown. You order off a menu, no carts. There are some different choices. Near Great Eastern is Golden Flower for incredible Vietnamese Pho. Cash only at Golden Flower. Gold Mountain and New Asia have good dim sum served from carts. We miss SF very much and cannot wait to return.
re: rebus1805
It's been a long time since I've heard anyone say the dim sum at New Asia was good. Maybe it's time to try it again.
re: xdrixn
What do you like at Ton Kiang?
Frankly, I've been hugely disappointed every time I've gone. Most times, their shrimp has tasted old with an almost freezer-burn ickiness and since they put shrimp in a lot of their dumplings, that's a huge negative expecially considering the price point and lines.
If your in Chinatown and don't mind dingy, I would give Dol Ho in China town a try. Its specialty is steamed rice with spare ribs. If you come in the late afternoon you'll find housewives coming by in droves buying their raw marinated spareribs by the pound for their family dinners. But note, while this place is very cheap, i.e.you'll be in a major food coma state if you spend 10 dollars, its dishes are quite strongly flavored with MSG.
If you want great quality in cleaner and more comfortable surroundings abet at a greater price then I would try Parc Hong Kong on Geary. All around the dishes are quite good, although the Taro puffs are a tad oily. Note, this place is not push cart style, you order off their menu. I tend to prefer this as things are steamed to order and seem fresher, however it can be more difficult if your not familiar with what dishes you want. Although others may disagree I would rank Parc Hong Kong higher then Ton Kiang, but I have more Cantonese tastes. If you look in their window at noon during a busy weekend day Ton Kiang seems to be more favored by Caucasian people where as Parc Hong Kong is filled with more Cantonese Chinese.

Hey there, glad you're back! How recently have you been to Parc Hong Kong? Reports seem to show some inconsistency under the new owners...

At first glance you can tell that O's is well kept, clean and nicely decorated for a casual dining experience the whole family can enjoy. You are warmly greeted and seated with a welcoming attitude. Payment is saved for the end of your meal unlike many buffets which make you pay up front, O's has confidence and trust in their patrons to be satisfied and pay on their way out. They even encourage conscious eating by a sign posted in the restaurant which says "Take What You Want, Eat What You Take. Thank You".

- Not impressed at all.ZapatajuanjVIPDined on 11/19/2014We were one of the last people to walk in with a reservation. Service was slow to service and waiters recommendations weren't that great then what I expected on entree and dessert. More than likely I will not return again. Not what I expected from an Italian restaurant.
- Worst service ever receivedTrueFoodieVIPDined on 11/11/2014This used to be our favorite but we moved away for 15 years and were anxious to visit again after returning to town. Food was average but the service was the worst we have ever had at any restaurant we have ever visited. Our older waiter was rarely around and when he was he was rushing us. Push and before we could answer he would just walk away. He repeated this behavior all night. Never again.
- great dinnerhenry79sbDined on 11/10/2014We had a great dinner since it was a last minute decision we made a reservation without a problem. Food was very delicious. Great service experience. Our waiter was attentive and checked up on us as he saw necessary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent = Always...RichardDined on 11/8/2014Always excellent food and service. Absolutely wonderful. The bread pudding is to die for...Special Features:
- Great meal -- great serviceJennatiliaDined on 11/7/2014We Started with the lobster bisque and it was amazing! We ordered a bottle of Ratori sparkling brute, which was very reasonably priced. For meals we ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the spaghetti broccoli - we were both extremely happy with our choices. The best part of the experience had to be the amazing service: very polite, quick and very inviting. Would recommend to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great--but hold the butterOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 11/7/2014As always Damian's has a cozy feel with a beautiful room that transmits a vibrancy without just being loud. Staff is attentive and the food is great--though this time every dish, from grilled fish to vegetables--was soaked in butter. It also is prices quite reasonably compared to restaurants attempting to do fine Italian in Houston, most of which miss the mark.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-Operamrm1915Dined on 11/1/2014It was wonderful that Damian's will keep your "take-home" until after the theater. The shuttle to the theater district is a great perk. The food and service, as always, was perfect.Special Features:
- pumpkinheadDined on 10/31/2014Damian's is always good, and consistent in service and food quality. It is a great place for lunch, and I look forward to trying it for dinner in the future.Special Features:
- Very goodMauroAFDined on 10/25/2014Very good food, good menu . good option for those who love Italian food. Recommendable for families and special occasionsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- After theater mealPiggyDined on 10/25/2014We had made reservations as this restaurant as it was recommended by the theater where we saw a play. Glad we went there. Food was good and service was great. We look forward to returning in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what I thought it would be....LibertineMCDined on 10/23/2014Okay, so we were kind of in a hurry... so not all their fault. We were the first to be seated in the afternoon, so it was quiet. Waiter was pleasant, a little too energetic maybe. Soup was good, pasta was over cooked... married an Italian so I know what it should be like, the meat was good. They didn't have the wine we wanted from Italy, so they supplemented... showed me the bottle and was going to open it without telling me that they didn't have it and were exchanging the one we ordered with a different one. hmmmmm.. never check the price difference. They were attentive to needs, but for Italian (supposed to be authentic "like Italy") it didn't get me there.......Special Features:
- "Old Standby"TheBestCriticVIPDined on 10/22/2014Damian's is always very good; it's been predictable for many years as one of Houston's "go to" Italian Restaurants. Appetizers are nice with good selection, excellent preparation, but portions are small. Great variety of traditional main dishes, so with a new flare, but nothing "out there". Wine list is very nice with offerings in all price ranges including some top end Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and a Sassicaia. Service is a bit slow, but again, that's predictable.Special Features:
- Nice dinner with family.SuzanneDined on 10/21/2014My son was in town on business and we took him to Damian's. We had a very nice dinner, food was very good and service was excellent.Special Features:
- Never DisappointsDowntownFredVIPDined on 10/20/2014Damian's is a regular on my business lunch rotation; great food (don't miss the Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl), great service and very convenient location right off of Smith.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent as always!RobertVIPDined on 10/17/2014We took our sons here for their birthday. We were seated a bit before our reservation time. This restaurant will make any dish you ask for. Two of us asked for pastas and sauces off the menu and our meals were outstanding! Great service, great food. We'll be back for our usual 3-4 visits a year. Thanks Damian's!Special Features:
- Recent VisitMarkSDined on 10/17/2014Friday Dinner with a few friends 10/17/14 (National Pasta Day). It's been a long while and wanted to see if Damian's was maintaining their high traditions. I Found that the experience very consistent with past visits. Great atmosphere and service. I had the Misto salad which has always been great and it fully met my expectations and the Spaghetti and Meatballs which was spot on. Others in my party noted that the tortellini was a tad under-done but flavorful. Another had Eggplant Parmesan with Fettuccini Pomodoro sauce. She said the Eggplant was delicious as was the Pomodoro but again the pasta was not cooked quite enough. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience but not perfect.Special Features:
- oklucieDined on 10/16/2014We usually go on Saturday night and have a spicific waiter who is wonderful. This was a Thursday and our waiter was off. Service was slower that we are used too. Food was still great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DisgustingNewFoodLoverDined on 9/11/2014I walked in with my girlfriend and it was clean and had a nice ambiance. We ordered wine and the portobello with crab appetizer. Both were great. Then we ordered off the chef special menu. I got a veal with mustard sauce. Nice but nothing special. She got a snapper and scallop dish that tasted like a watered down conundrum of flavors. They apologized and offered to replace. She got a shrimp pasta dish. It probably haa cup of salt in it. And only 4 shrimp for $33. She didn't eat it. The tiramisu was good. When the bill come, they tried to charge for her dish even though they saw she didn't eat it. After some arguing they took it off. They tried to explain the excessive salt to be garlic. We cook a lot so that was insulting.

I'm a cake hobbyist trying to learn all I can before I take over the world (just kidding)! ;-) My background in chemistry no longer satisfied me and I longed for a way to get back in touch with my creative side. After watching the 1st season of Amazing Wedding Cakes I thought to myself, "I can do that! I so can do that!" and thus my love affair with cake decorating began. I've been obsessed with cake shows ever since with "Cake Boss" being my favorite. I took a couple of basic Wilton Classes but most of my knowledge base comes from watching tv/DVDs and books. My first real cake project was a cupcake tower for my Best Friend's Bridal Shower in March of 2010.

Stop us if you've heard this one, but Miss USA is under fire.
Rima Fakih is not in crown-losing trouble ... yet. But accusations of her "breaking the rules of conduct" have put The Tiara Patrol on high alert.
According to Fox News (of course), Fakih was suspected of sneaking out (of where, it's unclear) to party all night last week, then lying about it.
The Miss Universe Organization, which rules over its gorgeous winners with an iron fist, requested security tapes to see if a cover-up occurred.
"There was one night last week where [Rima Fakih] had some interviews the next day," says Paula Shugart, the president of the ridiculous organization.
"First we thought she wasn't at the apartment (which she shares in NYC with Miss Universe), and someone was trying to get her to the interview."
"She was sound asleep, and looked like she'd been out all night."
Fakih did make the interviews, but her handlers are still asking about the security tapes, as this is "serious business," especially after Tara Conner.

text: Wisconsin's Voter ID Law Constitutional, Appeals Court Rules Print article Send a Tip from REUTERS 30 May 2013 post a comment MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - A Wisconsin appeals court on Thursday ruled the state's controversial voter ID law is constitutional, a victory for supporters who say the measure limits fraud at the ballot box. The Fourth District Court of Appeals overturned a March 2012 decision by Dane County judge Richard Niess, who ruled in favor of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, which claimed that the law is too burdensome, denying potential voters the right to vote. The organization "makes no effective argument that, on its face, the requirement makes voting so difficult and inconvenient as to amount to a denial of the right to vote," the appeals court wrote in its decision. The Wisconsin measure, passed in 2011 by a Republican-controlled legislature, requires voters to present photo identification such as a driver's license at polling places for federal, state and local elections. The law, which still faces legal challenges, would put Wisconsin among nearly three dozen U.S. states with voter ID measures, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A hot-button political issue, Republicans say voter ID laws prevent election fraud while Democrats say they hinder low-income and minority voters. READ MORE

I said, "Now it is absolutely impossible for me to resist the temptation. I will cross it."
He said, "You will die. You will not be able to cross such a strong mountainous current."
I said, "It will be a glorious death, but I am going to cross it."
The whole village gathered when I crossed the river. I was only twelve years of age. Nobody had done it before, it looked so dangerous. It took me almost six miles downstream to reach the other shore, and many times I felt that it was going to be impossible. But I crossed it.
Later on my father said to me, "Can't you understand anything?"
I said, "That's what I am trying to do, but you don't let me understand."
I had made it clear to the whole family, "Don't order; otherwise I am not going to obey. You are making me disobedient. The whole crime will be on your heads. I simply want to have explanations and to be left at liberty to decide for myself. You should have explained to me the whole situation of the river, how dangerous it can be, and that is all; then it would have been my decision to do it or not to do it.
"But it has to be my decision, not anybody else's. I understand your intention is good, but the way you are trying to impose your intention is very dangerous. Rather than seeing the death of my intelligence I would like to die myself, because what is the point of living like a robot?"
So Goethe is correct: obedience is one of the greatest sins. All the religions have perpetuated it, and all the generations have perpetuated it.
He is absolutely right when he says about chastity that it is unbearable. It is not only unbearable - he is not being absolutely correct - it is impossible. Chastity is against nature, and in anything against nature you are going to be a loser. You can be victorious with nature; against it, your defeat is sure and certain.
But that's what for centuries we have been told, to be chaste - and at a time when it is naturally and absolutely impossible. At the age of fourteen the boy becomes sexually mature, nature is ready, the boy is capable of reproducing. At thirteen the girl is ready to reproduce. But all the societies prolong.There is education, the university.
The scientific fact is that between fourteen and twenty-one, somewhere near eighteen and a half, the boy comes to the very highest peak of sexual energy, which he will never attain again. And the same is true with the girl: somewhere near seventeen and a half she comes to the greatest peak of attaining orgasmic experience.

- Attorney Michael Smith Remembers 69th Anniversary of U.S. Dropping A-Bombs On Japan
- Atomic Diplomacy: Hiroshima and Potsdam: The Use of the Atomic Bomb and the American Confrontation with Soviet Power
Ongoing reports of Israel engaging in senseless cruel violence against Palestinian people in Gaza throughout Operation Protective Edge is not a random bombing campaign but a strategic war experiment in colonial management as Greg Shupak explains in his recent article The Logic of Israeli Violence. Shupak points out the attacks on civilians fleeing for shelter, the bombing of the medical infrastructure, fishing boats and wheat mills, killing Arab speaking journalists are in the larger plan of ethnicide and to render the Palestinian people dependent. His article reminds readers that there is a measured plan of attack to systematically erase the historic memory of the Palestinian society.
- There's good reason to believe according to some reporting by 97 Magazine and Max Blumenthal that the Israeli security forces knew quite perfectly well the teens were almost certainly killed as soon as they were abducted and yet they carried on this charade of pretending that they could be rescued in some way.
- Rocket fire from Hamas didn't start until after Israel carried out strikes within Gaza, and carrying out various forms of killing Palestinian civilians and or people they described as militants.
- The rockets were a response to Israeli violence.
- Israeli propaganda has insinuated that these tunnels have in fact been used to kill Israeli civilians or that they may well be, but that simply has not happened.
- If the aim was to destroy tunnels, Egypt which is being ruled by a brutal regime, in its own right, was able to get rid of these tunnels without killing huge numbers of civilians.
- Israel's aim vis a vis Gaza is to isolate Palestinians there from the outside world render them dependent on external benevolence and at the same time absolve Israel of responsibility toward them.
- The thesis I put forth about the current violence of Operation Protective Edge, is that one way Israel is attempting to achieve that goal, that goal of Jewish supremacy in historic Palestine with as much land as possible and as few Palestinians as possible is to aim to obliterate Palestinians as a people with the capacity to live independently in their homeland.
- The pattern of Israeli violence . . . is not only to kill and maim Palestinians but to impede their capacity to live autonomously in historic Palestine.
- It's a settler colonial project.
- This is part of a longer term pattern. If you look at the work of Dr. Sarah Roy of Harvard she has documented extensively what she calls the deliberate de-development of the Gaza Strip economy. She has warned that Gazans are at risk for mass starvation.
- Five hospitals have been shut down. 24 health facilities have been damaged.
- We also that there's been direct strikes on hospitals from Israeli fire.
- The ability of Palestinians to care for themselves has very much been undermined.
- Two thirds of Gaza's wheat mills are inoperative, 3000 of its herders are in need of animal feed. We've seen fishermen attacked, we've seen attacks on agricultural sites, these are all part of those processes that Sarah Roy has talked about in the longer term.
- If religion is way for a cultural group to understand its identity then attacking the cultural institutions of that religion are ispo facto an attack on the people to have an identity.
- When you attack an educational institution you undermine the ability of a people to educate their young, to train them for future work, to train them to think critically, to develop artists, and inventors and so on.
- This to me is a very significant way for stifling a cultural groups independent existence.
- At its simplest, Israel can be seen as a giant military base for the United States.

The National Security State: The End of Separation of Powers
Retired Professor of Law from Duke University Michael Tigar joins hosts to talk about his recent article The National Security State: The End of Separation of Powers published in the latest Monthly Review Magazine. Michael has explained how the Executive branch of government has come to dominate both the Judicial and Legislative branches of the United States government. Attorney Michael Tigar has been working on social issues for many years, his books include Law and The Rise of Capitalism, Fighting Injustice, and Thinking About Terrorism: The Threat To Civil Liberties In Times of National Emergency.
- The basic principle of constitutional government that is established in our Constitution is that the actions of the legislative and executive branches, particularly the executive branch, are always reviewable by independently appointed judges and that the legality of whatever the executive branch does harms any protected interest, citizen or otherwise ought to be reviewable in the courts of the United States.
- The main thing about this is the harm to the judicial branch is in a real sense a self inflicted wound.
- That is to say judges confronted with assertions of executive power have proven inadequate to the task of restraining exercises of executive power
- We recall the massive illegality of the Japanese relocation at the beginning of the Second World War.
- It is now been shown that the premise upon which that relocation took place confining Japanese-Americans in concentration camps was false.
- At the time the Constitution was being debated Patrick Henry opposed the adoption of the Constitution on the ground that the ideal that independent judiciary could act as an effective check upon the exercise of executive power particularly military power was bound to be dis-proven in history.
- Law is legal ideology. That is to say its erected around social relations. In every time of recorded history there is a sense in which the formal guarantees that rules of law make about individual rights are simply lies the regime tells the people in order to sustain itself.
- That was the burden of book I wrote called Law and The Rise of Capitalism.
- The ideal that you rally people to the cause of social change by promising them liberty is also not new.
- The Cherokee people of Georgia read the Constitution and they said Aha, the Constitution guarantees that any group or individual can exercise certain social rights.
- So they drafted a Constitution for their nation and set up institutions then they brought suit against the state of Georgia to enforce these rights, that the letter of the American Constitution guaranteed that.
- What did Chief Justice Marshall say? What a minute, these are inferior and subject people. When the Constitution gives the right to all people, persons, citizens whatever, to bring lawsuits under Article 3 and to bring them to us, it wasn't talking about these people.
- Michael Ratner you and others, courageous lawyers who have been struggling to get reviewablility of unlawful executive action should not give up the fight.
- The kinds of effort you make deserve support and turn out in historic context to be important.
- Historically the role of lawyers has been to articulate people's claims for justice.
- What Edward Snowden and Julian Assange have done is reveal to the world fundamental defects in the way that the American political society has been operating and yet rather than saying thank you in some form of another, the government is hell-bent on prosecuting them.

FORT WORTH — For the first-grade girl named Leslie, the playground antics seemed just that, a silly and harmless way for a few boys to spend recess. That day in the 1960s, at the elementary school in Fort Worth, the boys started jutting their hands in the air and shouting "Heil, Hitler!" They laughed. Leslie had no idea what the words and gestures meant.At home after school she found her mother, Brigitte Altman, sitting at her bedroom desk. Leslie began to describe the playground silliness."My mother had always been and still is mostly very calm, not easily upset," the daughter, Leslie Magee, remembered last week. "But she was just horrified when I mentioned this to her. She stopped what she was doing and she pulled me aside."Mother and daughter sat down on the bed and Brigitte spoke of a distant place, a small European country on the Baltic Sea called Lithuania. The country was occupied by the Germans during World War II. Brigitte had been a Jewish teenager then, herded by the Nazis into a squalid ghetto of 40,000 people.She was one of only a few hundred to survive. Brigitte's mother died of pneumonia and malnutrition. Scores of her uncles, aunts, cousins and friends were ordered to dig their own graves and then shot en masse. Brigitte's father was sent to the concentration camp at Dachau. Hitler, the mother explained, was the German leader behind it all, the man who tried to kill all the Jews."She was aghast and mortified, horrified and understandably, because this was many years after the Holocaust and in Fort Worth, Texas, something like this was going on on the playground," Leslie said. "I was shocked, and then there was this feeling of being deeply saddened because someone that I loved so much, my mother, had suffered so much."It hurt me to know that she had been put through such tragedy and loss," she said. "I carried that with me always."Decades later, Leslie faced the decision of when to tell her own daughter, 11-year-old Lauren. The girl and her grandmother have shared a profound bond from the moment of Lauren's birth."My hand was forced," Leslie said. "Lauren was in kindergarten. I heard they were going to discuss the Holocaust in Sunday school. I told her there was a lot of sadness and death and that her grandmother had been involved in it."Leslie has since tried to spare her daughter from the most haunting details. But Lauren seems to understand, one reason she has always doted on her grandmother."I'm very sad for what she went through," Lauren said last week. "And I'm very grateful that she's still here today. I don't want anything bad to happen to her anymore."Horrors passed downThey are complex feelings familiar to thousands around the world in what is now an intergenerational story. Scores of studies have documented how the trauma and horror did not just afflict one generation, that it was often passed down by survivors to their offspring. But seven decades after the war, there are a third generation and a fourth.Descendants remember the horror but are increasingly inclined to talk about something else, a new sense of healing and pride among the ones who came after.Steven Spielberg's 1993 movie Schindler's List was a cultural watershed in that regard. The Academy Award-winning film told the story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who outwitted the Nazis to save 1,100 Jews from almost certain death in Auschwitz. The film featured many grotesque scenes from the concentration camp, German barbarism and, in a movie largely shot in black and white, the iconic image of one victim: the little girl in the red dress.Spielberg succeeded in placing the Holocaust at the heart of American popular culture, where it could not be ignored. One byproduct has been the willingness of survivors and their children to coax old ghosts into the open. For decades now, survivors and their descendants have been coming together around the world in formal and informal ways, talking of the past, looking to the future.One new group is called Generations, organized by the Dallas Holocaust Museum. Its mission statement says Generations is "committed to educate our community and future generations by preserving the memories of the past and keeping our families' voices alive."A handful of people were expected for its first meeting in June. More than a hundred showed up: survivors, second, third and in a few cases, fourth generations. "There was such excitement," said Arlington artist Julie Meetal, the daughter of Holocaust survivors and a founder of Generations. "There was such a need for second and third generations to get together and have their voices heard."And to share a new sense of hope.Leslie Magee has carried the sadness from that day in first grade. But she has watched her mother soldier on through life with a remarkable equanimity. She has witnessed firsthand the power of a child, her child, to vanquish old horrors."My mother just beamed like I had never seen before," Leslie said of the day of Lauren's birth. "Not that this one child could replace all the lives that were lost. But she represented hope in the future, and happiness, and the continuation of her family."Oral historiesAfter Schindler's List, interviewers from Spielberg's Shoah Foundation fanned out across the globe, capturing the testimonies of thousands of survivors. Brigitte Altman told her story on a summer day in 1997, speaking to the camera for nearly three hours in her Fort Worth home.She was an only child, born Aug. 15, 1924, in Memel, Lithuania. Her father was a wealthy businessman. "My mother tried to teach me the social graces," Brigitte said. "I hope I did not disappoint her."In the 1930s, her parents talked at dinner about what was happening to Jewish relatives in nearby Germany. The family tried to flee to the United States or Canada but could not obtain visas. Eventually they lost everything.Soon after the Nazi occupation began in 1941, Brigitte's family was forced into the infamous Kovno ghetto, an enclave with primitive homes and no running water, surrounded by barbed wire. Food was scarce. Brigitte's mother suffered a stroke. The intentions of the Germans became clear.The day in late October 1941 was known as the Great Action."That was the most horrifying of all," Brigitte said in her 1997 interview. "Ten thousand people were taken away. At six or seven in the morning, every person in the ghetto, including the infirm, was to come to a place of assembly called Democracy Square. My mother was still an invalid and I remember putting some lipstick on her cheeks to give her a healthier appearance."We bundled up. It was a mixture of rain and sleet coming down," she recalled. "The German sergeant … he may have been eating a sandwich while he was directing people to the right and left with his whip. I forget which side was life and which side was death, I had become so numb standing there and waiting for our turn to pass before him."But apparently he was not looking at us," she said. "The three of us, my mother in the middle, we were kind of holding her by the elbows. We made it to the good side. The other side had small children, the elderly. Wailing and crying from family members that had been forcibly separated."Brigitte's mother died in 1942. A few months after, Brigitte watched the Nazis collect thousands of young children."That was the day the famous Children's Action took place," she said. "That was really the catalyst that prompted my father to try and get me out of the ghetto."Brigitte left the ghetto on a work detail and slipped away, aided by her father's former bookkeeper, a gentile woman who took her in. Brigitte spent the last years of the war hidden on a distant farm."The day I was liberated it was summer," she said. "I had gone to one of the outer buildings. It was still dark outside. I heard a very slight noise behind me. I turned around to see who or what it was. It was a Russian soldier. I was startled but overjoyed."Somehow her father had survived Dachau. He and his daughter were reunited in Italy."I was watching the path, waiting for my dad to come," Brigitte said. "He had changed so much. He looked like my grandfather. We hugged. We had tears in our eyes."In 1949, Brigitte came to live with relatives in Dallas. A few years later she married a dashing American war hero, Fredric Altman. The couple settled in a quiet, leafy neighborhood in south Fort worth. Leslie was the youngest of their four children, the couple's only daughter.So many questionsAfter the first-grade day on the playground, as she sat on the bed with her mother, Leslie's questions came tumbling out.How did it get to the point where peoples' rights were taken away? Why didn't people fight back?"She explained that it happened over time and it was a process," Leslie said. "People thought they could live with certain inconveniences. They thought this would pass."Brigitte never brought up the Holocaust after that but would answer Leslie's occasional questions. The daughter was always reluctant to ask them."It was very disturbing to me," Leslie said. "And my mom was different from other moms I know. She was never carefree. I never saw her carefree and relaxed. She never laughed. I never heard my mother laugh until I was an adult. To this day when I make her laugh I feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment."Growing up, Brigitte insisted that her children live by simple admonitions. Never take life for granted. Never fritter away a day. Her daughter took those things to heart, while trying to distance herself from the horror of her family history."In the '60s and '70s, as I was growing up, the Holocaust was not discussed openly," she said. "I felt that this was a family secret about my mother that was just so terrible and so sad."Leslie went away to college and returned to Fort Worth. She married architect Alan Magee and started a career in finance. She was with her mother in 1997 when Brigitte gave her testimony to the Spielberg interviewer. Later that year, Leslie and her family traveled with Brigitte for the opening of a special exhibit about the Kovno ghetto in at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Brigitte, one of the few survivors, was an honored guest.But perhaps the most healing moment came in 2002, the day Brigitte held her new granddaughter, Lauren, for the first time. "It's very vivid in my memory," Leslie said. "When she held the baby my mom was aglow. It has never stopped."Taking the childrenBrigitte, a widow for 11 years, just celebrated her 89th birthday, still living in the house in south Fort Worth where Leslie grew up. Three generations gathered there last week. Leslie went through old family photos while grandmother and granddaughter sat next to each other at a piano. Brigitte played while Lauren, already an accomplished singer and actress, sang Over the Rainbow. Then Brigitte sat alone on the sofa, remembering horrors from a much different time and place. Lauren's parents will not let her watch Schindler's List or Brigitte's videotaped testimony until she is a teenager. But on Thursday, her mother allowed the girl to listen from the piano bench as her grandmother remembered. Leslie stood close by."All of a sudden there were buses around the house," Brigitte remembered of the Children's Action. "We had just one tiny little room that was shared by several families. I think some SS men charged into the room and started interrogating everybody. They were surprised to see me not being at work. I guess I was sick that day."That's when they started the children's roundup," she said. "My room was shared with other families. There was a grandfather and grandmother. They kept their little granddaughter who they were trying to hide under a blanket, but to no avail. The SS or maybe it was the Ukrainians yanked the little girl out of bed and put her on the bus. I think she was about 4 or 5. That's how it happened."Did Brigitte know what happened to the girl?"No," she replied. "But none of the children survived."Had Brigitte thought much about the fact that she was one of the few to live?"No, you do what you have to do," she said calmly. "I don't think so much about it. I really don't live in the past. I live in the present."The present was the girl on the piano bench. Brigitte pointed toward Lauren and beamed.

jaskaran Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.1
just the other day , i was reading a book named Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham and here is a paragraph from the book on the use of term computer science. "I've never liked the term "computer science." The main reason I don't like it is that there's no such thing. Computer science is a grab bag of tenuously related areas thrown together by an accident of history, like Yugoslavia. At one end you have people who are really mathematicians, but call what they're doing computer science so they can get DARPA grants. In the middle you have people working on something like the natural history of computers—studying the behavior of algorithms for routing data through networks, for example. And then at the other extreme you have the hackers, who are trying to write interesting software, and for whom computers are just a medium of expression, as concrete is for architects or paint for painters. It's as if mathematicians, physicists, and architects all had to be in the same department."

krithika Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
Computer Science is the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical processes (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information, whether such information is encoded in bits and bytes in a computer memory or transcribed in genes and protein structures in a human cell. The fundamental question underlying all of computing is: what computational processes can be efficiently automated and implemented? To tackle this seemingly simple question, computer scientists work in many complementary areas. They study the very nature of computing to determine which problems are (or are not) computable. They compare various algorithms to determine if they provide a correct and efficient solution to a concrete problem. They design programming languages to enable the specification and expression of such algorithms. They design, evaluate, and build computer systems that can efficiently execute such specifications. And, they apply such algorithms to important application domains.

there's lot of difference between the word calculate and compute...calculate means to solve by mathematical means..compute means solve especially by mathematical means..a computer does the work of computation...hence it is called computer..:)

drjefferson Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
The term "computer science" is really a misnomer because it is not really science (since it does not deal with nature) and is not so much the study of computers (the hardware) as of computation itself (the activity of computers). The term originated historically because a new name was needed to distinguish a field that had grown out of other disciplines (electrical engineering and mathematics) but was distinctly different from each. Some people prefer the terms computation science, information science, etc.

November 26, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Yusmeiro Petit set a major league record when he retired his 46th batter in a row, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 4-1 on Thursday for their third straight win.
Petit (4-3) got the first eight Colorado hitters, and established the mark by striking out Charlie Culberson. That broke Mark Buehrle's record of 45 straight with the Chicago White Sox in 2009.
The announced sellout crowd of 41,017 at AT&T Park gave Petit a standing ovation before his streak ended when the next batter, Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles, doubled to left field. Charlie Blackmon followed with a single to drive in Colorado's only run.
Petit, a 29-year-old journeyman from Venezuela, fell one strike short of a perfect game against Arizona last September. His streak covered eight games, six of them in relief.

Different Versions of Premier Issue of CA?
Are there really two different versions of the premier issue of Cigar Aficionado?
Posted: January 7, 2013
Submitted via CigarAficionado.com
There are two different versions of the premier issue of Cigar Aficionado (Autumn 1992). There is a small difference in the cover language between the U.S. version and the foreign version.
On the U.S. version, left, the highlighted stories on the cover are:
America's Favorite Cigars
Gay Talese on Streetwalking
Cigar-Friendly Restaurants
JFK's Cuba Connection
The foreign version, right, lists:
Cuba's Best Cigar
Tasting Robustos
Salinger on JFK
The foreign version is shown on the 20th anniversary issue, as well as on our archives page.
The magazines are otherwise identical. All the stories inside are the same. It is the only time in the magazine's history that we have a domestic and foreign cover.

Book Talk: All the elements you crave
It appears out of nowhere. Back in a field near the town but far enough away to be mysterious. The tents look to have been raised over night. Instead of bright red, orange and green colors the tents are muted in black and white stripes. No one sees the train they arrived on or circus employees mulling around within the grounds.
There are no posters or flyers mucking up the landscape thus forcing the curious villagers closer for more information. The circus remains surprisingly black and white even up close. There are no other colors visible from the entrance. The wrought iron fence enclosing all the tents glistens in the sun with its oil black paint. The posts too close to squeeze through and the arrows on top too sharp to cross over.

November 24, 2014
DALLAS (AP)—DeSagana Diop signed a five-year, $31 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, six months after Dallas sent him to New Jersey in the Jason Kidd trade.
The Mavericks used their entire midlevel exception in their second free-agent deal with Diop since 2005.
A lottery pick in Cleveland, Diop struggled before joining Dallas. He combined with Erick Dampier at center when the Mavericks reached the NBA finals in 2006 and won a franchise-record 67 games the next season.
Diop averaged 2.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in 214 games, including 72 starts, with Dallas.
The Mavericks on Wednesday also announced the re-signing of guard J.J. Barea. The team did not disclose terms of its deal with Barea, who spent each of the past two seasons with Dallas.
Barea played in 44 games last season, starting nine times. He averaged 4.3 points and 1.3 assists and made nearly 39 percent of his 3-pointers.
"J.J. has worked extremely hard and has developed into a fine young NBA point guard," said Donnie Nelson, team president of basketball operations.

Indev software has released MiniMail 2.0.3 (http://www.indev.ca/MiniMail.html). It provides compatibility with Mac OS X 10.6.5.
MiniMail 2.0.1 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 and OS X 10.6, up to version 10.6.2. As maintenance releases for OS X 10.6 are released, MiniMail will need free updates for continued compatibility.
MiniMail keeps the single mini window mode that's familiar to version 1.X users, while introducing a new multiple window mode. In this new mode, the zoom button will miniaturize each message viewer, showing just the selected mailboxes, letting you maintain different mini windows for a focused view on different mailboxes.
MiniMail now uses Sparkle for updating so that the update process should be the familiar and the same as numerous other applications that use Sparkle. The app is now localized into French, German, Danish, and Norwegian.

About Susan
Our family bought this property in 1995. It was the second home built in the area and was a 2 bedroom rambler. After our third child was born, we needed a larger home. The old home was demolished. We built the home. It is designed to have a timeless design so it would hopefully stay on the property for hundreds of years. It is a Cape Cod design that is as beautiful in from the back view as it is from the front. We raised our four children in this home. It was designed so our home would be the gathering place for their friends and it served its purpose by having all of their friends often, holding events like school prom group photos and dinners, beach parties, scout swimming for merit badges, and hosting dinner parties , weddings or non-profit events. On the 4th of July we have had hundreds of people in the back yard watching the fireworks (The fireworks are set off from a barge just off our beach front, so you must reserve the home for the 4th of July week because you cannot get any closer to a professional firework show). Over the years our home has been a place we have regularly enjoyed opening our doors to provide a room or bed for someone who needed a place to stay until they got on their feet again. Now that our children are raised the home is ready for you to use and enjoy. It is kept very clean and pristine so you can just relax and enjoy the beauty inside and outside of the home. We are local natives and can answer your questions before your arrive about activities , shopping or things you might need while on your amazing vacation.
Susan purchased this house in 1999
Why Susan chose Issaquah
This home will someday be on a registry of historic homes. It was built solid with a timeless, elegant design to last for hundreds of years. Our goal to pass this home down to our children and grandchildren who will continue to have it open and available for vacation rental.
It will be a place you can come to year after year as your vacation home, and share with your family and friends now and over future generations to come.
Come leave your legacy and be among the first generation of guests. Your name and story can be in our guest book so when movies or books are written about the history of our home, you will be a part of it.
What makes this house unique
Unobstructed Views 180 degree views. 100 feet of sandy beach. Private dock with boat lift to park a boat and wave runner. Home is most luxurious on the lake, elegant, yet relaxed (keep your shoes on if you want). Lots of room for more than one family or for a family reunion. If you want to play on the water we have toys, skis, canoes, kayaks, row boats, fishing gear on site. If you want to just relax and read a book there are many quite private areas inside or outside all with views. Very romantic setting for a couple to have a first or second honeymoon.
Location, location, location Quick asses to freeway to easily get to anything you want to do within a 10-20 minute drive. Very close to downtown Seattle or Bellevue for city fun, shopping, restaurants, sailing, fishing, ferry boat rides, aquarium, Seahawks football, Mariners baseball, Sounders Soccer, Seattle Symphony or Opera, Theaters, Space Needle. Yet the home is in a quite, private area. First time or seasoned paragliding within 10 minutes. Many Golf courses within 10 minutes. Head to the mountain pass (10-15 minutes) for fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, river rafting and snow skiing.

Celeb Clan Close-Up: Ali Landry and Estela
Filed under: Bump Watch, Celeb Parents, Fashion
Ali Landry is glowing in this gorgeous summer outfit -- partly because she's expecting another child, but her model looks don't hurt, either.
We love her white dress and long colorful sweater, not to mention the great accessories. And Landry's daughter, Estela, 3, is just darling in her mismatched prints and bright hair bow.
The two were attending the 22nd annual Time for Heroes Celebrity Picnic to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation in Los Angeles June 12.
