Why spend 5 minutes reading when you can just start another thread?
Just called and scheduled a friend to pick up 2 of them as i'm out of town right now. I would've never of checked CL since i'm out on vacation and could of missed this.
Thanks alot.
I believe my friend who is picking them up is going to grab the thump. He's charging the same price for it.
I should've jumped on that.
He's going to look at the thumper tomorrow but if it falls through I can let you know.
That'd be cool. I posted that on here because I was hoping all the barrels would be gone before I lost control and emailed the guy. I can only make 10 gallons of wort at a time, so I figured standard barrels are crazy enough. Then my damn brain started thinking about the thump keg for a fermenter. Which is awesome, but still seems like a step in the 'I want to open a brewery' direction. On the other hand, moonshine barrel stout is one hell of a marketing tool.

After having such a great time participating in my first Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, and having a successful one-woman bake sale to support Cookies for Kids' Cancer back in September, it was a no brainer to sign up again for the 2013 cookie swap. I love baking cookies, I love raising money for excellent causes, and I love receiving cookies from other bakers.
What's funny is this year I played around with my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe (again!) and took some inspiration from Joy the Baker (again!). I had pinned Joy's Buttered Popcorn Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe ages ago, but decided that since I've been having so much fun making caramel corn from scratch, why not use that instead of buttered popcorn? It was an excellent decision.
Now, as a heads up, this recipe will yield more caramel corn than you need (about 5-6 oz more). I sent along packets of it to the bloggers I was assigned to send to through the swap, and you can do the same if you gift the cookies—who wouldn't want a little packet of caramel corn to go with their cookies? If you're not gifting these, just pack the caramel corn into an air tight container and enjoy in 2-4 days.
I received some really lovely cookies, ranging from lemon-scented thumb print cookies filled with homemade jam from Emily of West of the Loop, hot cocoa cookies from Sara of Sensibly Sara and eggnog cookies from Melissa from Red, White and Blueberries. But most importantly, the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap raised a total of $13,778.40 for Cookies for Kids' Cancer. We did something amazing.
Do you have a food blog and want to participate next year? Sign up here to receive notifications about when the 2014 swap will start to organize and do your part to share some cheer over the holidays and raise money to help some really wonderful kids. It's good for the soul.
Make the caramel corn first. Heat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large dutch oven, combine the olive oil and popcorn kernels over medium high heat. Put the lid on, and pop, shaking the pot from time to time. When the popping stops, remove the popcorn from the heat.
Sort through the popcorn, removing the unpopped kernels. Return the popcorn to the dutch oven, and set aside.
To make the caramel, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Once melted, add the brown sugar and continue stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Add the molasses, then turn the heat up and boil the caramel for 2-3 minutes until a deep amber.
Stir in the salt and vanilla, then add the baking soda, stirring until dissolved (the mixture will bubble up and lighten in color).
Pour the caramel over the popcorn in the dutch oven and stir to coat.
Pour the caramel corn onto the parchment paper, spread out, and place in the oven.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes, stirring the popcorn every 15 minutes.
Once done baking, cool on a rack for 10-15 minutes before incorporating into the cookie dough.
Note: This will make about 8-9 oz of caramel corn. However, you only need 3 oz (about 2 heaping cups) for the cookies, so you will have extra.
For the cookie dough, heat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and position the racks upper- and lower-middle positions. Line 2 large baking sheets with bakers silicone or parchment paper.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment mix the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg, yolk and vanilla until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients gradually and beat at low speed just until combined. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate and 3 oz (about 2 heaping cups) of caramel corn. Be gentle ... you don't want beat up the caramel corn too much.
Form about 1 tbsp of the dough into a rough ball. Do not flatten; if anything, make the ball a little taller than it is wide.
Bake until the cookies for 8-9 minutes, then rotate the sheets front to back and top to bottom, baking for an additional 8-9 minutes. Let the cookies stand on the baking sheets for a minute or two, then transfer them to cooling racks.

- Pages and pictures with poor descriptions: This is just a personal pet peeve of mine. I can't stand pages with crappy description. Being a writer, that's the kind of thing on this site that really gets under my skin.
- Ghetto people: No comment...
- Know-it-alls and know-it-all wannabes: Hate em'.
- Anons: Nothing but a collection of morons.

Volunteer fire board accuses ESD of retaliation
The Ellis County Press
AVALON – Allegations of misappropriation of funds were leveled against the volunteer fire department's chief and assistant Tuesday for $5,000 in cell phone bills and the mis-use of ATM cards.
The chief, Roy Scruggs, was suspended pending the outcome of an independent audit, but was voted back to the department as a fireman, which would prevent him from handling any bank accounts or other financial duties.
The assistant chief, Jimmy Mitchell, resigned after the meeting at the Avalon Volunteer Fire Department board's request.
Though separate from the AVFD, the area's emergency services district – one of nine rural fire districts with the power to lay and collect property taxes – has given AVFD a proposal to turn over all equipment and department property by midnight May 31 in hopes of dissolving the department; board members with the AVFD said the ESD No. 8 contract is retaliation due to Scruggs' wife, Debbie, serving as the ESD No. 8 treasurer.
Mitchell's resignation came after questions about thousands of dollars in cell phone bills were brought up; those cell phones were purchased under a proposal for firemen to use on calls; Mitchell had administrative oversight of the cell phones, AVFD spokesman Mark Alaniz said.
Though they are separate entities, AVFD obtains funding for equipment, fire trucks and general supplies and fuel reimbursements from the ESD.
Since 1999, according to Alaniz, a verbal agreement has existed between the two entities for AVFD's funding to be distributed from ESD No. 8.
Notes from Tuesday night's AVFD board meeting:
- Cell phone bills have "major discrepancies"
- Fire Chief Roy Scruggs was suspended as chief pending an audit
- Scruggs' wife, Debbie, serves on the ESD 8 board of directors; since the suspension of her husband, ESD 8 presented a contract to the Avalon VFD board to take over all operations and ultimately disband the entire department on May 31, 2008; AVFD board members say this is "retaliation" for suspending Scruggs;
- Over $5,000 in cell phone bills reported
- One of those cell phones belongs to Debbie, according to the AVFD spokesman
- AVFD's share of cell phone payments is roughly $2,200 annually
- Some bills are being mailed to firemen, which caused AVFD board members to express concern that proper bookkeeping wasn't taking place
- A little over $6,000 exists in the current AVFD budget
- A motion to bring Scruggs back as a fireman - and not the chief - was approved, but he cannot act as chief (which stipulates no access to bank accounts)
- Two ATM cards with almost identical card numbers were "mistakenly" used by Scruggs - but he reportedly paid the accounts back
- The acting chief spoke - Jimmy Mitchell - numerous times before the packed Avalon Volunteer Fire Department building in support of Scruggs
- Firemen went door to door to get people at the meeting
- Scruggs presented a contract to allow for the Waxahachie/Forreston fire districts to run Avalon's department during the financial situation
- Some audience members didn't buy into that proposal
- Before leaving, Scruggs was reportedly on his way to the meeting; he had reportedly neglected to show up citing a lack of legal counsel
- Audience members said Scruggs should be present during the allegations being made public
- A board vote was approved to return hose valves to save money which would in turn, replenish the bank account
- Of a recent grant used to obtain four pieces of fire equipment, only one was purchased and used (i.e., where's the rest of the money?)
- Avalon doesn't have its own incorporated town; they have a tiny school district and a volunteer fire department, and are included in ESD No. 8.
- Avalon is located on Highway 34 not too far from Italy and Bardwell.

Carrot Rewards – integrated rewards scheme for schools with a difference
ePraise.co.uk | A Praise and rewards system for secondary schools
I'm also not a fan of vivo but decision was made by SLT and it seems to work well here.
Looking at a reward system. Did initially like the idea of Vivo and the website is nice and shiny but got a couple of reservations about using them and wondered if anyone has any suggestions for alternatives?
Carrot Rewards – integrated rewards scheme for schools with a difference
ePraise.co.uk | A Praise and rewards system for secondary schools
I'm also not a fan of vivo but decision was made by SLT and it seems to work well here.
I've had some recent discussions with a rep and I didn't like the responses tbh I won't go into it here but, loved the look of the system etc but just got left with a bitter taste with some of the recent chats i've had.
Cheers will have a look at those
Oh and if anyone has any other suggestions that can talk to Serco that would be great too

We use this system here
Pupil Reward Points - school rewards system to record and recognise achievements
Basic, works well, inexpensive.
It was to do with a price quoted which turned out to be rather inaccurate and the resultant conversation, just put me right off tbh. The product itself looks awesome no problem with that side of it at all.
We had a Vivo miles demo and even though I liked the look of the product the price put us off. We are looking at developing something in-house instead.
A major vote for epraise.co.uk It is an excellent and simple system. We are running with it live from Sept where Ben Dunford (epraise developer) has been most accommodating to our requirements.
It does everything we need. class/group add points, give out tokens(similar to top-up cards, unique code) that students can load onto the system, auto load points based on students UPN (we have tested this with giving a point for students having a full attendance for each week, created a SIMS report to do this for us). The reporting and accessible API (graphs and charts) are brill and can be easily placed on VLE and website (there are public and private versions available).
After all of the looking for a points/reward system, epraise is the most simple, elegant and probably (for us anyway) very cost effective. And, our staff loved when it was introduced to them .
We did look at vivo miles, SIMS behaviour and achievements (not practical or usable on SLG), schoolrewardsystem.

IKEA has sold over 40 million units worldwide since 1979 Billy library making it the world's best-selling library. To make the library more interesting and with a little more character ding3000 He added three components to the library, the ubiquitous "Billy Wilder" for more colors, "Billy Heidenreich" for reading and even "Stuetze" to give your bookshelve an entirely new angle. BILLY WILDER encounters
the primary expectation of a shelf to keep everything in order. It was designed as a playful approach to the theme "our daily clutter" and serves as a temporary storage place for unsorted books, magazines and newspapers. BILLY HEIDENRICH is a rack with a lectern. The shelf for books you can exchange with a apparnte and handy add-on. The lectern is modeled on classical samples and is easily integrated into the overall picture. Books and journals in any way tend to fall down in the shelves, STUTZE is the answer to this question. STUTZE is a small lifting floor plate addition to the shelf sides. So, books, binders and even single pages can be stored in an upright position on the shelf. STUTZE fits all variants of Billy and can be linked to mounting on both sides.

Best New Play Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2009 - Carter Lewis' Ordinary Nation, Florida Stage - CLOSED
Carter Lewis' Ordinary Nation, Florida Stage
262 S. Ocean Blvd.
Lake Worth, FL 33462
Last May, just as our nation's most visible political performers were turning into caricatures of themselves and making strawmen of their enemies, Florida Stage unleashed Ordinary Nation: a political play that made a mockery of categorical political definitions. Plenty of people forgot it the moment it was done with — it was subtle almost unto quietude — but others, it haunted. The story of a lefty academic with a bookie dad, a gambling-addict daughter, and a wife who is cheating on him with a GOP senatorial candidate, Lewis' play showed us the profound ways in which our politics inform our lives. And then, in the play's final half-hour, it showed us politics' limits. The heart, as it turns out, has its own ideologies that don't respect party lines.

Disputes and cases related to the committee are under the jurisdiction of the ASUCD Court (due to the amendment passed during the Winter 2005 ASUCD Election). Elections-rule violations by candidates are decided by the Elections Committee, and can be appealed to the ASUCD Court. These cases were formerly sent to Student Judicial Affairs.
Controversial Media Coverage
2005-2006 Elections Committee Following the Fall 2005 ASUCD Election and as a result of extremely low voter turnout, the Fall 2005 ASUCD Election/Turnout Controversy resulted. However, shortly thereafter, this was completely ignored when the Unqualified Candidates Scandal blew to epic proportions. The latter resulted in the creation of the humorous, albeit not real, Elections Committee Slate.
2004-2005 Elections Committee
The two main mushroom clouds of Fall 04' were the Election Statement Controversy and the Campaigning in Dorms Controversy. In the case of the latter, they abdicated all of their responsibility and instead delegated it to SJA, even though SJA's mandate from the University does not allow them authority over elections.
The 2004-2005 Elections Committee at the time told candidates that they could not campaign before the official start of the election, when in fact, they could. This was determined to be a procedural error by the Campus Judicial Board, with a 7-0 finding for the plaintiff.At the Winter 2005 Mandatory Candidates Meeting, the Elections Committee failed to bring in any of the requisite government officials required in Section 102 subsection (1) of the ASUCD Government Codes:
The ASUCD Elections Committee shall sponsor a mandatory workshop three weeks before an ASUCD General Election to inform candidates, tickets and Ballot Measures (pro/con Treasurers) of election guidelines and the election process. All candidates and tickets shall be responsible for the information disseminated at the workshop. The workshop shall include a description from two Senators (selected by the ASUCD Elections Committee Chairperson), the ASUCD President, and the ASUCD Vice President of the nature of their respective positions. One Commercial Service Unit Director, One Programming Unit Director, and one Advocacy Unit Director (selected by the ASUCD Elections Committee Chairperson) shall describe the relationship between the ASUCD elected officials and the ASUCD Units. The Senate President Pro Tempore shall describe the makeup of the ASUCD Senate and its subordinate bodies.After this error was brought to their attention by the Friends Urging Campus Kindness, two ASUCD Senators, who were also candidates, (Darnell Holloway and Senate pro tem Sapana Shende) spoke.
The 2004-2005 Elections Committee was also responsible for the Disqualification Controversy of the Winter 2005 ASUCD Election. This involved the removal of a candidate for not turning in receipts, despite the fact that the Elections Committee had personally verified (via phone calls to stores) all purchases. Because of this, and because they were allowed to award 0 to 3 (3 is disqualification) violation points for the offense, many perceived this as an attack on a candidate they did not like. As a result, this action has widely been deemed to have a Shadiness Factor factor of 10.
2003-2004 Elections Committee Following the Winter 2004 ASUCD Election, the 2003-2004 Elections Committee refused to release the ballot data for the previous election in accordance with the ASUCD Constitution. After pressure from the Davis College Green Party filing an official complaint, the Elections Committee released the ballot data in electronic format. More can be read about this on the Davis College Green Party's website.
Older controversy
On January 20th 1994 a group of candidates for the ASUCD Executive Council (which was the Senate before the Senate existed) — Nichole Humphres, Hooshie Broomard, and Adam Young — over-spent during their campaign (by slightly over $10). The Elections Committee refused to disqualify the candidates in spite of the fact that over-spending entailed this (spending $250 is 1 violation point and spending over $260 is 2, as is the case today — 3 violation points is a disqualification and there is no "may" phrase involved in these assessments). The case was appealed to Student Judicial Affairs and SJA ruled that Humphres should be disqualified, and the others let off with < 3 violation points or nothing at all. The Elections Committee had argued that the infraction was so minor that it had absolutely no impact on the election, and that the candidates were not acting with malicious intent. SJA's ruling stood.
On February 17th 1994 the Committee disqualified the ASUCD President/ASUCD Vice President ticket of Munon/Herrera. Herrera had accidentally forgotten to pay her student fees, and had lapsed into non-registered status. Herrera maintained that she was still in all her classes, was not aware that she'd missed a fee payment, and had corrected the error. When the Committee had checked her Reg Card she was a registered Undergraduate, and the slipup had occurred during the campaign.
Reforms and Reform Proposals
Rampant controversy subsequent to the Fall 2004 ASUCD Election (see Media Coverage, above) has lead to a number of proposed reforms for the Elections Committee and Elections process. The reform process has been an ongoing process (although at various speeds) with the ASUCD Election Regulations.
The Elections Reform Bill of 2004, better known as Senate Bill #26 was passed as a result the problems seen in the Fall 2004 election. Most of the reforms were suggested by the SOSSS slate as early as November, but eventually over 15 people contributed to the legislation including ASUCD Vice President Darnell Holloway, Senator Rob Roy, Senator Adam Barr, and the entire Internal Affairs Commission.
There was also a Constitutional Amendment passed during the Winter 2005 ASUCD Election that gave the ASUCD Court authority over Elections Committee disputes.
Election Data
The ASUCD Elections Committee and Creative Media are responsible for maintaining election data for at least one year in case of a vacancy on the Senate and therefore the need to run a Countback Election to fill the vacancy. However, they do not make a habit of maintaining election data longer than necessary. With this in mind, former ASUCD Elections Committee Chair, Jonathon Leathers compiled all of the election data from Fall 2003 (the first ASUCD Election to use Choice Voting) to Winter 2010 and archived it on this website. The website also includes programs to run the data as well as analysis and reports on the elections. Leathers maintains that he will continue to add future election data to the website as well.

2005-02-24 18:51:54 It has been a sad year for democracy at UCD —MikeSiminitus
2005-02-24 19:03:19 Then again, it may turn out to be a good year for student government when we toss them out. We'll see these election results. —ScottRitchie
2005-02-25 03:33:41 Count me in. I want to join the chorus to remove these people. Rob Roy got shafted for being the best candidate on the ballot... —PaulAmnuaypayoat
2005-03-04 19:00:13 So, if people want the current Elections Committee to be replaced will you also support my applying to be Chair? —JonathonLeathers
2005-03-04 22:46:42 Jon, yes, I will give you my endorsement. But first, we need to get ALL of these schmucks out. I woulda made my case at the last senate meeting, but it was going kinda long and everyone was too busy getting adjusted to their new jobs, so I gotta wait at least a week. I am hoping others beat me to it tho, cuz we really need people who wont mess up as bad as these current committee members... —PaulAmnuaypayoat
2005-03-05 13:37:47 You might face some tough competition. Kahliah Laney is also thinking about applying for chair. Since she's used to drama on a weekly basis, drama twice a year will be an improvement. Oh, and my intelinfo says that none of the current committee members will reapply. —BrentLaabs
2005-03-05 13:42:15 Jon Leathers of Elections Committee chair! —JamesSchwab
2005-03-07 00:31:56 Hey guys, first, is there any evidence that states that there will indeed be a closed session for all of the current members? They need to be held accountable for the bad decisions that they made, and them simply not reapplying doesnt cut it. If we cannot hold them accountable, then this will only leave the door open for more underhanded tactics by future committee members. —PaulAmnuaypayoat
2005-03-09 08:26:41 Come on dude, let them bow out with as much dignity as they have left... and at least three assholes. —KenjiYamada
2009-02-15 04:36:46 I believe Adam has been doing quite an admirable job these last couple of elections. —MattBlair
I agree, him and his crew love what they do and try really hard. GregWebb

According to legend Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a short story in six words.
So Cypress Lake Middle School teacher Betsi Jones challenged some of the students who traveled to D.C. for the NEA Foundation's annual gala last week to write six-word summaries of their trip on the train and bus rides back to Lee County. So what was the one thing students commented on… the weather!
But here is the list the kids put together:
1. Flash mob with Kevin Eubanks – beep! (Yes, this actually happened. The kids organized a quick flash mob, with Kevin Eubanks, in the lobby of the Hyatt hotel on Capitol Hill.)
2. Two beds, three people, too small.
3. Too much to see, no time.
4. Musicians are not meant to travel. (Especially with wood instruments)
5. D.C. has frozen over — where's Florida?
6. But wait — kids need food too!
7. Long hours, long trains, long faces.
8. The hotel has the best food.
9. Hot train. Bumpy ride, feeling gratified.
10. Train too loud. We can't sleep.
11. Wearing six shirts is not enough.
12. Piles and piles of makeup work.
13. Seeing Lincoln Memorial made me cry.
14. Too cold and windy, need Starbucks.
15. Long cold walk, can't feel face.
16. Months of rehearsing, killed by producer.
17. There was more work than fun.
18. Looking at trees is getting old!
19. This was the best performance ever!!
20. Fur coats don't keep you warm.
21. Bundling up, too cold for me.
22. Always gray and cold never sunny.
23. Fun trip, moving to Washington someday.
24. Quinton really enjoyed this trip — seriously!
25. D.C. rocks, but Lee County rules.
26. The show was tremendous and awesome.
27. Too tired, too much to see.

Eileen Chang: Lust, Caution
What better pedigree for a book than being a Penguin Modern Classic and the source for a new film by the reliable Ang Lee? I had never heard of Eileen Chang before, but either of those factors alone would have been enough to interest me in it. The zinger is that it's also only 150 pages and sets a new high in movie tie-in covers. Come to daddy.
Lust, Caution is a collection of five stories, most published in the 1940s when Chang was in her 20s. The title story however was begun in the 1950s and not published until 1979; so what's another thirty years to wait for this translation? It's a remarkable tale, a masterpiece of compression, fitting so much into its 35 pages – with even an acceleration of action at the end – that it makes perfect sense for it to become a full-length feature film. It is a story of romance, politics and betrayal, introducing us to Jiazhi ("since the age of twelve or thirteen, she had been no stranger to the admiring male gaze") who as a member of a revolutionary sect, has been tasked to seduce Mr Yi, a government employee, and lead him to his death.
She felt a kind of chilling premonition of failure, like a long snag in a silk stocking, silently creeping up her body. … She had, in a past life, been an actress; and here she was, still playing a part, but in a drama too secret to make her famous. … In truth, every time she was with Yi, she felt cleansed, as if by a scalding hot bath; for now everything she did was for the cause.
What gives the story its richness is the compact way Chang has of fitting in the characters' background sometimes in just one sentence, leaving plenty of space for resonance and reader reflection. Mr Yi's wife, for example, "had a dowager's fondness for keeping young, pretty women clustered around her – like a galaxy of stars reflecting glory onto the moon around which they circulated."
And this reminder that people are the same the world over is useful. As the title suggests, Lust, Caution, like the other stories in the collection, is about conflict between differences: temptation and loyalty, women and men, East and West. This is particularly well depicted in the story Great Felicity, about an approaching family wedding. On the one hand, some feel drawn to the 'superiority' of Western culture ("He put on his slippers and lay on the couch to rest while he flipped through an old Esquire magazine. The Americans really knew how to advertise their products. … Xiaobo had a degree from America, he was a real scholar"). At the same time, all the usual family conflicts and jealousies remind us of the universality of human nature. In addition, Chang, who lived in the USA from the 1950s until her death, cleverly anticipates Western readers' expectations when she seems to give us details of authenticity:
In the grand hall, there were great red pillars entwined with green dragons. The walls were of black glass and a black glass altar held a little gold Buddha.
- before subverting it, as we nod comfortably, by adding: "This was the Orient as a little old foreign lady might imagine it." Ouch.
Chang is especially good at capturing the essence of failure or a disappointed life, taking society not as it should be but as it is (or was), whether pointing out that a character "was still unmarried, and she was beginning to lose her self-confidence. Her little round soul had shattered, and had been repaired with white china," or another young girl who "had a lot of siblings, so she wouldn't get any pretty clothes until she had a likely match – but since she didn't have anything pretty to wear, she couldn't get a match. She was trapped in a vicious circle, doomed to spend her blooming years in wistful longing: no young woman, no matter how clever, could break her way out of a dress like that."
This last is from In the Waiting Room, a merciless but somehow tender portrayal of the gossipy women in the waiting room of a massage clinic (which incidentally provides the only doubtful translation in the whole collection: could a child really have been wearing "split-crotch pants in a tiny floral pattern"? Each story, unusually, has a different translator). Like the other stories, it seems much more modern to our Western eyes than we would expect.
The best tribute I can pay the stories in Lust, Caution is that although Chang's style took some getting used to, I found myself wanting more and more as there were fewer and fewer left. Thank goodness then that I already have stocked up her collection of novellas, Love in a Fallen City, which is being issued in Penguin Modern Classics along with this volume. Not least, these stories will provide a welcome dose of exoticism as the winter draws in. And who couldn't use a little of that?

Et tu again? Another book to buy? If you have not done so already you might want to read Clare Wigfall's story collection. It is longer but her stories are so masterful you cold swear she had been writing for decades. I have a review of the book, The Loudest Sound and Nothing, on my blog and I believe Dovegrey reviewed it awhile back.
Off to Amazon. I love short stories.
I have quite an aversion to short stories, I tend to like to immerse myself into something a bit longer – but you have made this sound very tempting and quite satisfying. I'll have to add it to the lists.
I enjoy reading your review. I was shocked at the motion picture as you have noticed, Chang did not emphasize on the sexual nature of Yi and Mai Taitai's relationship. Her prose is so unrelenting and cutting that even the backdrop is the Japanese invasion of China, somehow this significant time factor gets a bit sidelined to make room for the confusion, frustration, and conflicts of these ordinary individuals whose lives are tricked by fate.
My other favorite is Love in a Fallen City. It was made into a theatrical a couple years ago in Hong Kong.
18 Springs is one of her best long novels, but unfortunately is not available in English. It was made into a film back in 1997. Check it out! :)
You may be pleased to know that I have bought the rights and commissioned a new translation of 18 Springs – it will appear in Penguin Modern Classics in 2009.
Yes, little children of both sexes in China are usually dressed in split-crotch pants. It's nothing to do with sex; it's a practical way of coping with kids before they are toilet-trained.
As you said, Chang was good at captuering the most embarresing scenes of human beings, women most of all, and also men (I really appreciate her talent to "feel" like a man- white rose, red rose is a novel written from the angel of men).
Lust and caution is one of the best novels from her. It's very dramatic and very real at the same time, plus very cruel, and very surprising.. From the first part of the movie, we see a lot of "thinkings" in Jiazhi's head and we see that Jiazhi is a naiive girl who enjoys playing theater and basically we may get the impression that Jiazhi is a typical kind of pretty girl who is spoiled by her male fans and she is not very involved in "love motions". Then we see a lot about the political situations in China at that time, we see the truth of patriotism – the human, individual feelings behind the "big stage", we see that diamond is really an important thing for a woman – even at the most dangerous and crucial situation. We also see that for Mr.Yi, Jiazhi is just one of his mistresses, he decided to buy a diamond for her, but just as a general manner from a man with a pretty woman.
And now comes a break point. At the moment Jiazhi saw the diamond, she said to herself, "He must be in love with me." And so, she betrayed her group, (betrayed the country, her initial willing too??) She let him go, his life is saved.
The most most fantastic part of the novel is coming at last in the end of the novel – Yi commanded to kill Jiazhi together with the group of students because its too complicated to make an excuse to his boss to save her life and its probably risky too. He is obviously sad about his decision so he is trying to make some excuses to himself to feel better – She must understand him doing this and forgive him. Once be his lover and after her death she will be forever(a chinese phrase)….
If a reader is used to Chang's "unhappy-end relationship"style, he or she may see this ending as unexpected happy-end. Jiazhi is dead for her lover and Mr. Yi sees Jiazhi as his beloved. We may wipe the sweat from our faces now. The most complicated, most times selfish male female relationship- adultery here, becomes a beautiful legend, the diamond, the most plain, corny symbol of love saved one life and killed one too, wow so plain is not a right word anymore. Plus for Jiazhi death is not necessarily a bad thing because she would be in big trouble with her betray. Plus for Yi, he still has a wife and a dangerous career to take care of.
My english is poor, I hope its understandable
[…] The Asylum: The best tribute I can pay the stories in Lust, Caution is that although Chang's style took some getting used to, I found myself wanting more and more as there were fewer and fewer left. […]

LONDON -- The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has turned its investigation of violations of a Shell ship drilling in the Arctic over to the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to the Sunday Telegraph.
The USCG identified 16 violations on board the Noble Discoverer, including fire hazards. The findings are raising questions about Shell' s ability to safely extract oil in the region, the Sunday Telegraph said.
A spokesman for Shell said, "Shell and Noble take the results of this inspection seriously and have already satisfactorily resolved nearly all of the 16 points identified in the USCG report."
He added, "To further ensure the readiness of the Noble Discoverer to take part in Shell' s ongoing exploration program offshore Alaska, the vessel will be transported to a shipyard in Asia for further inspections and repairs. The Noble Discoverer' s return to Alaska will be dictated by the scope of work identified while in dry dock and the timeline associated with that work."

I haven't seen most of them, but the two I saw were great. I really enjoyed The Hobbit. Being a huge Tolkien fan it was good to be taken to that world once again. However I would have to place Les Miserables at number one. Rarely in a movie theater do people applaud after individual scenes. I was thrilled with it.
Good post!

Rows of Mushroom Grow Bags beginning their first "flush". Oyster mushrooms begin to grow through holes in the poly bag and form a cluster. Temperature and humidity conditions are kept just right in the Grow Room to encourage proper growth patterns.
These Oyster mushroom "clusters" are ready for harvest. These are the yellow variety. We have also grown pink, blue, gray, and brown varieties. Shitake mushroom are also being grown in a similar manner. They take somewhat longer than the oyster mushrooms but can sell for a higher price. There is a great demand for both!
If you don't have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can get it here:
At the heart of our systems is the Mushroom Steam Pasteurizer which uses aerated steam to cook the mushroom growing media. This innovative machine eliminates much of the heavy lifting and dangers of other methods of pasteurizing the mushroom media.

The Velvet Hearts: Into the World
At last. The Velvet Hearts debut album, Into the World, has just been released. It's currently available exclusively from CDBaby.

The online revolution is both generous in its audience and stingy in its fiscal reward; so getting to the point of releasing an album is no small feat. They're regularly gigging, and their live shows are very good, so if you can catch them, do so. Continue reading The Velvet Hearts: Into the World
