Almost without thought his arms went around her, aware of the warm firmness of her flesh beneath < >generic levitra 32 > thin robe. Most of the notes were wrong, and those that were right were cracked. Presently I saw his blue lips again, breathing on the tinder, and then a flare of light flashed up, and showed me Orlick.
Common use
It will be burned behind you. The one film levitra cost comparison I have was produced for Shell Oil Company. Lady Tamplin gathered up the Daily Mail and her negligee, a vanity-bag, and various odd letters.

It was no crippling terror, or else the offshoots of that one cialis prescription cheap could never have turned themselves into a nation.

Chokwe Lumumba: Jackson's new mayor
By Mahogany Linebarger
Special to the Amsterdam News
Last week, Chokwe Lumumba won the general election for mayor in Jackson, Miss., receiving 87 percent of votes.
After receiving the news, Lumumba said, "I'm just delighted. I feel wonderfully well about the people and their vote. Our slogan has been the people must decide, and the people gave us an outstanding mandate today for positive change in the city of Jackson."
Lumumba added, "We intend to work diligently and put all our hearts and efforts into that, and we're going to be calling upon the people to work with us. We're not working by ourselves."
Lumumba ran against three independents in Tuesday's June 4 primary: Francis Smith received 3 percent of the votes, Cornelius Griggs 3 percent and Chip Williams 7 percent. Wapt News reported that voter turnout was low this year, but Lumumba was still able to win by a large margin.
Lumumba was born in Detroit as Edwin Taliaferro and changed his name in 1969. He says he found the inspiration for his name from an African tribe that resisted slavery and from the African independence leader Patrice Lumumba.
Lumumba was involved with the founding of the Republic of New Afrika with Milton Henry.
He moved to Jackson in 1971where he grew as a human rights activist and earned his degree in law. Lumumba is also known for his past work with the Black nationalists group and the Black Panthers.
In 2011, Lumumba made notable strides in Mississippi for his legal representation of the Scott sisters. The Scott sisters, Jamie and Gladys, are two women who were sentenced to double life in prison for an incident that resulted in the theft of $11, with no one being harmed. The sisters served 16 years of their time when Governor Barbour suspended their sentences.
This case along with others in the South brought public attention to the issue of governors advancing justice through clemency powers. It highlighted the struggle that organizations such as the NAACP have been fighting through. To get more governors and presidents to utilize their clemency powers to free those who deserve it is a historical and ongoing battle.
When commenting on the case and the governors actions during a press conference, Lumumba said, "Why he let them out is an argument for historians, getting people like them out is what we have to be about."
Lumumba, a city councilman, defense attorney and civil rights advocate, defeated incumbent Mayor Johnson in the Democratic primary. Johnson was elected as Jackson's first Black mayor in 1997. Lumumba has received support from all demographics in Jackson and will take office July 1.

Introducing unique details set these dining room chairs apart from mainstream design.
As if the panoramic de Gournay wallpaper wasn't enough to raise the bar, designer Ruthie Chapman Sommers went for it all. Custom two-tone green dining chairs circle the pedestal table with flared base. The chair backs are embroidered with intricate medallions [detailed below]. Upholstery nails wrap the seat, criss crossing on the lower back. The designer then switched to single tacks spaced evenly around the chair back, much like the double nail spacing I had done on my French os de mouton chairs. An antique chandelier and mirror amplify the already present glamour.… Continue Reading

Welcome to Fort Malden. As you enter our front gates you see the original Fort Malden Museum, built in 1939.
The Visitor Orientation Centre was constructed in "Old French Chateau" style in 1939. It now contains a small auditorium and the Garrsion Gift Shop.
The Military Pensioner's Cottage, circa 1851. After the British regulars left the fort, they were replaced by Enrolled Pensioners. These men and their families settled on the military reserve around the fort, in 88 uniformly built cottages.
The remnants of the earthworks surrounding the fort date from the Rebellion of 1837. This view is from the northwest bastion onto to the parade square. The brick soldier's barracks is in the background.
The Interpretation Centre was erected on the grounds of the fort as a laundry for the Fort Malden Lunatic Asylum established in 1859. After the asylum closed, the building became a planing mill. In 1918 the structure was sold and converted into a family residence.

Carbon Dating
I am a single 58-year-old woman with a one-year subscription to eHarmony. In the six months I've been on, only two men have contacted me. Of the dozen men I've reached out to, only one responded, and nothing came of it. I'm stumped as to why I'm getting such a sparse response. I am attractive, am very fit, have a career, and own a home. Is my online dating experience typical for women my age? Sad to think I'll face the next 20 to 25 years without a partner. And I am NOT just sitting at home waiting for a man to fall into my lap. I'm in a cycling club, a wine group, a music lovers group, and a craft beer group. Yet none of it has produced a boyfriend.
— Cobwebs
On dating sites, where the face-to-face embarrassment of overstepping the bounds of reality has been removed, 70-something men are hitting on 30-something women as fast as their wrinkly fingers can hit "send." In other words, the youngest guy to even include 58-year-old women in his search criteria will likely want to talk about Titanic — not the movie but the boat wreck he survived.
Sure, dating sites promote themselves as a bonanza-in-waiting for people of all ages, but the truth is, online dating is heavily skewed toward younger people. It works like dog years. You may be 58 on your passport and driver's license, but in Match.com years, you're 406 going on 407. Also, men on dating sites care first and foremost about your four or five profile pictures (in which you're competing with pix of women in their early 20s — typically the height of female hotitude). Musical interests? Favorite hobbies? You may as well list them in Cantonese.
But there is hope for you, and it comes from behavioral economics research by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. It turns out that we decide the value of things not out of the blue but rather by comparing them with similar alternatives. In other words, you need an "anchor" to make yourself look more attractive to men, and no, I'm not suggesting you start accessorizing with the big iron thing from a ship. An anchor is a reference point for comparison. For example, after hearing about this concept on my radio show, a lumber company owner started stocking an expensive ceiling tile next to the one he sells a ton of, in order to make buyers feel they were getting a really good deal.
Likewise, as a 58-year-old who takes care of herself, you'll look far more appealing in a neighborhood filled with 58-year-old reference points than 20-something ones. Like, for example, on a dating site specifically for singles over 50, such as OurTime.com. The same goes for activities. The best groups for you are those where you aren't the anchor making some 22-year-old of average attractiveness look hot. It may also help to acknowledge and even try to laugh about how hard dating is for women your age. Seeing this simply as an annoying fact of life after 50 may help you take it less personally. It could also lead you to a greater appreciation of later life's small victories, like when sex ends with a man rolling over and snoring (as opposed to being zipped into a bag by the coroner).
Hooked On A Felon
My best friend's new boyfriend is a convicted sex offender who has three children from three different women. He has no job and pays no child support. I've tried in vain to convince her that he's a bad bet. They keep insisting we all go to dinner so I can "get to know" him. How do I explain that I want nothing to do with him without ruining our friendship?
— Uncomfortable
When your friend meets guys online, it shouldn't be on MegansLaw.com. Unfortunately, pointing this out to her is probably futile. We're slaves to our ego, determined to see ourselves as smart, lovable, and making wise choices, even if it takes believing the unbelievable: "Soulmate, inmate — what's the difference?" What you don't have to do is accept their offer of a ringside seat. Instead, tell her you're happy she's happy but you'd prefer to spend time with her alone. Her knowing you disapprove of him may put a gash in your friendship, but it may be a smaller gash if you stop trying to convince her. This may mean you'll be around when she needs you most — after things go south. Maybe you can at least keep her from immediately seeking his replacement, like by dolling herself up and lingering outside parole hearings: "Hey, handsome didn't I see you on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit?"

• Men: get off your. . . busy schedule. . . and read with your boys. Be a role model. Talk about reading. Let boys see you reading. Acting as a positive, literate role model is the single most important thing you can do to help boys read.
• Booksellers: have male staff members highlight their favorite books for boys. Make a display of GUYS READ books.
• Teachers and librarians: Take another look at your required reading lists. Imagine how many of the books would appeal to you if you were a boy.
• Let boys know that non-fiction reading is reading. Magazines, newspapers, websites, biographies, science books, comic books, graphic novels. . .are all reading material.
• Form a father-son or parent-son Bookclub. Meet at an indoor soccer facility or gym to talk about books, and then run around too. Be a model for how to read a book and talk about it.
• Look at the recent literature on the psychology of boys (some titles listed below).

One thing that I have come to love eating is shrimp. I used to hate it and couldn't even stand the smell, but the older I get, the more I love seafood and shrimp is like chicken — you can add it to anything and it tastes good.
This week for the 15 Minute Supper dish, I decided to share my recipe for Shrimp Tacos. They are super delicious and are quick and easy to make.
You can pare this with my homemade pico de gallo, guacamole, cilantro lime rice, and chips and salsa and you will have yourself a well rounded Mexican fiesta!
- 20 medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp. ground cumin
- ½ tsp. chili powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 T. olive oil
- 4 corn tortillas or you can use taco shells
- oil for frying
- shredded lettuce
- diced tomatoes
- sliced avocado
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 T. oil, garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper. Add in shrimp and toss to coat completely. Place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let the flavors merry a bit.
- Cook shrimp in skillet with all of the marinade on medium heat until pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Lightly coat small pan with oil over low-medium heat. Warm tortillas until soft.
- Spoon 5 shrimp onto each tortilla, top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, pico de gallo -- the possibilities are endless.

Lynn Sweet: Election could come down to what women want

Updated: November 15, 2012 6:42AM
LEBANON, OHIO — Warming up the large, friendly crowd at a Mitt Romney rally in this historic town, Ohio State Sen. Shannon Jones and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor on Saturday pitched female voters.
"You moms out there, you need to get five more moms out there to the polls this week" Jones said, urging women to take advantage of early voting in this presidential battleground state.
"I don't know what this war on women is we hear from the other side," Taylor said.
Romney stumped on a stage next to the Golden Lamb Restaurant and Inn — Ohio's oldest hotel visited by 12 presidents. To become the 13th, Romney needs to woo more female voters to beat President Barack Obama — with both campaigns running massive programs to turn out the women's vote — and with Romney making some gains for the first time.
On Friday, the Obama campaign started a new ad in the battlegrounds of Ohio, Virginia, Nevada, Iowa, Florida and Colorado hitting Romney for not "protecting your access to birth control . . . and the basic women's health care services Planned Parenthood provides."
Romney's bid for female votes was a reason he immediately called for Missouri GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin to drop out of the race after he said last August "legitimate rape" victims rarely get pregnant.
And Romney distanced himself from Rush Limbaugh after the radio host called law student Sandra Fluke a "prostitute" because she backed insurance coverage for birth control under Obama's health care law. Fluke is now a major surrogate for the Obama campaign operation targeting women voters.
Female independents and undecideds — many found in suburbs — are the prize.
Cecile Richards, on leave as president of Planned Parenthood to stump for Obama, told me in 2012, the "discussion has broadened beyond abortion" with access to health insurance — women not paying more than men, not having a co-pay for preventive care, contraceptives covered by insurance — "an economic issue" in the campaign, "and women understand that."
Barbara Comstock, a Virginia co-chair of the Romney campaign, told me, "We listen to women, and talk to women about what their top priority is and we hear time and again number one, two, and three is jobs, the economy and their kids, those are their concerns."
Recent Romney campaign ads pitching women reflect that — and are focused on the economy.
A spot released last week features a female small business owner who backed Obama in 2008 who said she is switching to Romney because she doesn't see the economy growing and that's "important to women." Another spot, showing a young woman holding a baby, said, in this tough economy, "Obama's policies are making it harder on women."
Female voting power is magnified because since 1980, their turnout rate is higher than men — some 10 million more women than men voted in 2008, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
What do women want? They "have different perspectives on the role of government," said Susan Carroll, a senior scholar at the Center. Salient in the 2012 contest: "Health care as an economic issue seems to resonate more among women and the debt more with men," Carroll told me.
Until Romney bested Obama in their first debate in Denver, Obama held a consistent lead among female voters in all polls as Democrats portrayed Romney and Republicans as waging a war on women.
A Pew Research Center poll conducted after the Oct. 3 debate from Oct. 4-7 showed women split between Romney and Obama. That was Romney's best showing with women all year in a Pew survey. A Fox News poll taken Oct. 7-9 gave Obama an eight-point lead over Romney with female voters.
Michael Dimrock, Pew's associate research director, said Romney may have gained "more traction" among women because of the debate where "Romney had a lot more ground to make up among women than among men — his personal image, and the Republican Party's image, was far worse among women, meaning there was more damage to be repaired."
And unlike the Thursday vice presidential debate — where Joe Biden and Paul Ryan talked about their opposing views on abortion — Biden supports, Ryan opposes abortion rights — social issues were absent from the Denver debate.
Biden, stumping in Wisconsin on Friday, said, "If anyone had a doubt about what's at stake in this election, when it comes to women's rights, and the Supreme Court, I am sure they were settled last night. Congressman Ryan made it very clear that he and Governor Romney are prepared to impose their private views on everyone else."
Winning female votes has been a focus of the Obama re-election campaign since it started — actually since Obama became president, where the first bill he signed, by design, was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Ledbetter is now stumping for Obama.
The "Women for Obama" operation has vote directors in the 10 battleground states with "Women's Wednesdays" phone banks, house parties and "Women's Summits" held in swing states.
Romney's campaign has a large "Women for Mitt" operation, hosting roundtables, forums and town halls and phonebanking. They also have women vote directors in the battleground states.
There is a squad of women on the road in the swing states who have worked with Romney while he was governor of Massachusetts and when he helmed the Salt Lake City Olympics.
The tactics are similar — women-to-women networking with female elected officials dispatched to help energize the troops.
"Our message has been resonating on the ground," Romney Women Vote Director Courtney Johnson told me.
The Obama team points to swing state polls — not national surveys — where Obama leads among women. Stressing the economic benefits of affordable health care is a central message, Obama Women Vote Director Kate Chapek told me. "That's where we will continue to beat the drum."

Rong Wang, Ph.D. is the Director of the Laboratory for Accelerated Vascular Research. Previously, Dr. Wang had the distinction of being a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Michael Bishop, MD, a winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Chancellor of UCSF. Dr. Wang's team is engaged in state-of-the-art research involving key proteins necessary for blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) and arterial growth (arteriogenesis). They have found that the Notch 4 protein can cause dramatic blood vessel enlargement in adult animals and that the protein called focal adhesion kinase is essential for maintaining existing blood vessel structure. The ability to encourage the growth of blood vessels can increase healing in traumatic wounds, promote recovery from strokes and heart attacks, or generate the growth of new pathways around blocked arteries in the lower limbs to reduce the potential of gangrene and possible amputation.
Murphy, PA, MTY Lam, X Wu, TN Kim, SM Vartanian, AW Bollen, TR Carlson, and RA Wang. Endothelial Notch4 signaling induces hallmarks of brain arteriovenous malformations in mice. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2008 105(31):10901-10906.
"UCSF scientists have discovered that a gene controlling whether blood vessels differentiate into arteries or veins during embryonic development is linked to a vascular disorder in the brain that causes stroke.
The UCSF studies were done in mice, and the new findings are the first to provide information on both the progression and regression of this particular brain disorder, known as BAVM, and to provide molecular clues into the disease, which is not well-understood and chiefly affects young people."
Vascular research in Dr. Rong Wang's lab in the Laboratory for Accelerated Vascular Research at UCSF has taken a powerful new turn with the building of a state-of-the-art two-photon laser microscope.
"We've all heard the saying 'if you want something done right, do it yourself.' Well, there's a research lab a UCSF that's done just that. And the piece of equipment they've built could give them several years head start in a critical field of research."
Wang lab researchers discovered that activation of Notch signaling in the endothelium during brain development causes brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) in mice. These mice may provide a powerful new tool in which to study BAVMs, which can cause devastating stroke in young people. This report was published in the August 5 issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Rong Wang, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Surgery and Director of the Laboratory for Accelerated Vascular Research, spoke at the Gordon Research Conference on Endothelial Cell Phenotypes in Health & Disease in Biddeford, Maine. Dr. Wang's talk was entitled "Cell-Cell Signaling in Endothelium and Arterial Venous Hierarchy".

'Get into trouble with the leadership,' advises Tesco Labs Nick Lansley
Nick Lansley, head of open innovation at Tesco Labs, says innovation requires collaboration and needs a culture that is tolerant of failure.
Tesco Orchard: social network allows customers to try products before national distribution
Lansley argued at the Internet Advertising Bureau's Mobile Engage conference yesterday that people who take a risk should not get sacked just because it goes wrong.
He said: "You obviously don't bet the company on that product – you should have tested it a bit, but you should be trying things that don't work out [because] otherwise you might never know."
As part of this philosophy, Lansley agrees with the saying that "it is better to ask for forgiveness than for permission" and pointed out he has risked this himself by launching a Tesco app without permission from the leadership team.
An unwritten part of my objective is that I should get in trouble with the leadership about twice a year.
He added: "An unwritten part of my objective is that I should get into trouble with the leadership about twice a year."
Engaging customers with the development of products is also important because they "might take it in an interesting new direction", according to Lansley.
Tesco previously preferred not to display products to customers too early on in the development cycle, to avoid giving anything away to rivals like Sainsbury's and Asda.
However, this strategy led to the creation of applications that were not always what customers wanted and later required alterations, said Lansley.
Tesco's The Orchard social network was described by Lansley as "very interesting" because it allowed a customer to join and try products early on before they were rolled out nationwide.
Lansley also credited the "great ideas coming from small companies" and said the Rainmaking Loft start-up incubator it supports financially was a "pool of wisdom".

The now-defunct Tumblr is a portrait of loneliness and romantic frustration.
What comes to mind when you think of a "nice guy"? Someone who dedicates his life to the betterment of others? Someone friendly and respectful, with a great sense of humor? Or maybe someone who is sick of "fake ass" females, who believes that contraception is wrong, and who thinks that women have "an obligation" to keep their legs shaved? If you chose the latter, you'll be pleased to meet the Nice Guys of OkCupid, the subjects of the now-defunct Tumblr of the same name that has attracted coverage in Jezebel, the New Statesman, the Sydney Morning Herald, and the Guardian. The site was deleted from Tumblr's servers last weekend, but new moderators are now planning to relaunch it.
A catalog of images of some of the dating service's most embittered and insecure users, superimposed with less-than-woman-friendly statements drawn from their profiles, the message of the site was simple. Are you a man who blames your dating problems on the fact that you're too nice? Chances are you're an asshole.
The notion that self-proclaimed "nice guys" might not be as nice as they think they are isn't new. The Nice Guy™, as the figure is often referred to, has been an object of sustained feminist critique over the past decade: for his less-than-flattering depiction of the women he claims to treat so well, for his passive-aggressive approach to picking up women, and for his underlying assumption that sex is an exchange—that if you're a "good guy," the women you're good to should fall in love with and have sex with you...if not out of desire, then out of pity or obligation.
Related Story
Jeff Fecke summed it up thusly in a 2007 post for Shakesville: "A Nice Guy® is a guy who tells you, in a bitter, resentful tone, that women don't date 'nice guys,' they only date 'bad boys,' and because he's 'too nice,' women only view him as a friend." But as Alisse Desroiers commented in a post last year for Feminspire, "If these guys were genuinely nice, they wouldn't be saying things like 'the bitch stuck me in the friend zone because she only likes assholes.'"
The Nice Guys of OkCupid featured all of these mind-sets in spades, taking what had been a somewhat abstract cultural critique and making it concrete with real life-examples and shareable images. There were complaints about "falling into the friend zone" (a term which refers to the idea that women divide men into platonic friends and romantic prospects, and that once you fall into one category, you can't jump over into the other) and about how "shallow and superficial" American women are. There was bitterness over nights spent talking, texting, and holding hands, with no physical or emotional pay-off. Then there were reams of professed political views that, if not definitively "not nice," are certainly not popular with many people on the liberal left.
See, the site seemed to say. You're not single because you're 'too nice'. You're single because you're a jerk. And indeed, that tone of self-righteous mirth has been reflected in much of the journalistic response to the site. But spend enough time scrolling through the pages of the Nice Guys of OkCupid, and that mirth begins to transform into something else; something a little sadder, and more akin to sympathy.

Mine are kind of in order by types of book - classics, nonfiction, sci fi/fantasy, etc, but not alphabetically. All books by any one author go together on a shelf, in order if they are a series and otherwise by height. Some strange form of OCD makes me want all the books either level on the shelf or slanting in one direction or another, not all uneven and jaggedy.

Before I had too many books relative to shelves I did:
Fiction sorted first by hardcover vs. paperback to match shelf height. Author second. Publication date third. Later sorted into "books I already read" (in the other room) and "books I intend to read" (in my bedroom).
Nonfiction by subject matter trying to keep more closely related books together (like the Hitler+Churchill pair).

Priapetic: Prefers to organize "autobiographically":
As for books, mine are split into fiction (alpha by author) and non-fiction (also alpha by author except bios, which are mixed in alpha by subject). they have to be organized after a lifetime of buying books, otherwise I'd never find anything.
/friends gave me a Kobo for my birthday a couple months ago. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
| CapeFearCadaver
All of my different bookshelves have a different organizing method.
My Sci-Fi bookshelf is in order (left to right) from author last name and first date published; with the exception of series being kept together even if the author veered and wrote something in between, that stray book will then be put after the series.
My Research bookshelf (and largest book shelf) is in order per each shelf.
Religious Studies on the first and second shelf, starting (left to right) with religious texts: Bible, Apocrypha, The Qur'an, Torah, Ketuvim, Bhagavad Gita, Dhammapada, etc. Followed by various Comparative Religious Studies, from text books to authors such as Campbell, Jung...
Third and forth shelf is Philosophy, organized by period. Earliest to latest.
Fifth shelf is Anthropology, starting with Physical and moving to Cultural and finally Social.
Sixth is Archaeology, organized by location an era, location and era, location and era, etc.
Seventh and eighth are notes.
There're 3 more bookshelves, but you get the idea. (Literary; My writings; then a free for all for cook books, gardening, and such) Each bookshelf also has a placeholder card for people who borrow anything.
Meh, I love my books.

I do mine by genre, author and publisher in that order. All the straight fantasy in one spot, organized by author, then the publishing company. All the sci-fi in one spot. All the Baen books get a shelf to themselves. Then Horror, novels, philosophy and conspiracy, classics, miscellaneous.
I recently reorganized my library too.

I churn books constantly. That way, they eventually get dusted.
I have to agree with the American socialite who said "I hate dirt so much that when the house gets dirty I have to go live in a hotel."
I can also second the practical notion, from Quintin Crisp, the famous Queen, that "after four years the dust doesn't get any thicker".

We got into a little bit of a tiff when we did our bookshelves.
We have three separate areas: nonfiction, fiction and children/ya fiction.
Fiction is alpha by author then chronological.
NF is LOC order. I drew the line at labelling the books with the LOC number on the spine, and he desperately wanted to use his lablemaker.
| silverjets
Sorted by subject or genre then by author then by publication date. The only exception is if the books are a series, then the series is grouped together but its place on the shelf is based on the publication date of the first book in the series.

On the awesome shelf, obviously.
A local geek tavern opened up (Storm Crow Tavern) and I almost made a mess in my pants when I saw a full collection of CYA books there for patrons to read.
| DerAppie
Why does everyone sort by author? I just group them by author/series and beyond that I put them wherever I have space. If I were to start sorting my books I'd do it by series (in the correct reading order) and all "single" books by title. I'm more likely to remember the title than who wrote it.

Um, keeping your bookshelves organized? Is that the Jim Gaffigan level of white people problems?
| IkonOlator
Size matters!
How the heck do you maximize shelf space without paying attention to size??!!!! Anyone who puts mass market paperbacks next to big hardcovers is nuts! They're different heights
Now, this gets confusing if you have both paperbacks and hardcovers by the same author, but you must stick to the methodology so as to maximize shelf space and not cause the books on your bookshelves to look all jagged by having short paperbacks next to taller hard covers.
And what about over-sized books, like reference books or some art books? They need space all their own because they tend to be big and tall.
And series -- like those from mass market authors (Dan Silva rocks) -- those should be in chron order because there is an intended order by the author and a sequence to the storylines.

I have Drew's book on one of several 'real' book shelves. I try to organize collections according to my own logic. This typically involves keeping Science, anything Religious, or anything Political from spontaneous combustion though proximation.

That was the funniest article by a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist about bookshelf organizing that I've read all day. It was also the worst. It was also the only.
Of those three, though, being the worst is what stands out. I like to be grandiose and wordy, but geesh!

Co-worker of my SO got parents a 'House Clean' gift certificate.
The older helper cleaned their library, and lined up all their books by height!
/mixed in all their grandkid's books, too...
| catmandu
Paparbacks first, by height. Hardcovers next, by height. Series by the same author stay together, otherwise there is no particular order.
General books are in the bookshelves in the living room. Cookbooks are in the two bookcases in the dining room. Self help and my favorite "I can't get to sleep so I need something mindless" books are in the bookcase in the bedroom.
Books don't get shelved until I have read them so the unread books are in stacks on top of the living room bookshelves or on top of the bookcase in the bedroom (which is also my nightstand)

First off, i divide by fiction and non fiction.
Fiction is alpha by author and chronological order, but no splitting up series
Non-fiction is by topic, then alpha by author (i have no series)

There is a great satirical article by an Irish journalist about professional maulers who handle rich people's libraries so it looks like they read their books. Has anyone read this? I can not remember the author but it is hilarious.

Organizes by paperback or hardcover, then by author, and publication date. Also use the color coded dots that people use as price tags at year sales on the upper most spot on the spine of the pulpy paperbacks to indicate genre, not because most of them will be re-read any time soon, but so that I can easily find something to recommend to a visiting friend or family member. There are a LOT more orange (sciencey sci-fi) and green (fantasy sci-fi) dots up there than anything else, although hot pink (slasher/thriller ficition) is catching up lately. Also, I leave the dots off of hard cover "real" literature. If you need a dot to tell that a Sherlock Holmes is a mystery or that a Twain novel is American satire/humor, you can not borrow from my special collection anyway!

Subaru B9 Tribeca: Problems & Solutions
samiam_68 Posts: 775Inflating the tires too much actually reduces control, because the car becomes very "bouncy" and the tire may lose contact with the road in some emergency maneuver situations. Also, an overinflated tire is more prone to punctures and blowouts when hitting various potholes. The MPG difference between properly inflated tires and way-over-inflated tires is negligible, not worth the increased risk of blow-outs, poor ride quality, and smaller contact pach area.
Keeping the tires inflated to about +3 PSI above manufacturers specs should be more than adequate.
The consensus over in Tires, tires, tires is that running your tires at the sidewall amount isn't the best practice from a wear and safety standpoint.
You're going to have to do better than "my sources are secret" to convince me not to rely on the car manufacturer's recommendation on the placard.
Steve, Host
Minivan fan. Feel free to message or email me - email@example.com.
Yikes - no sooner was I griping about the quality of the audio system *jinx* - my wife came in and said the CD player is not working - the display read "MECHA ERROR" - obviously short for mechanical error - I looked for this msg in the handy dandy Subie owners manual but nada was found on MECHA ERROR. Egad, anyone else seen this, and if so what was done to correct it, I have tried pulling the fuse, starting the 'beca, reinserting the fuse - to no avail.
By the way the radio plays, but the 5 loaded CD's will not eject or play. My wife said this started on a company retreat this weekend, where she was playing some STP and Sevendust on the way there, a person with her that she does not know well turns out to be a bit of a presumptuous twit and ax'ed (ahem) her to put in a gospel CD. I would have chunked the guy out, buy my wife does not have charm of her dear hubby. Anyhow she said the CD was not a special shape and it played for a few moments then kaput - the MECHA ERROR message displayed.
I have about 2700 miles on my 7Pass Ltd.
1) Right headlight a bit higher than the left
2) Rear dome light keeps falling out when I hit a bump
3) When the temperature dropped, my tire pressure went to about 31-32 PSI and the TPMS light went on. (I guess it's good to know when you're 5-10% low).
4) Also in cooler weather the rear hatch hydraulics move slower and I've bashed my head into it twice. It also doesn't open up all the way sometimes when cold.
5) With the air temp at about 40 deg. F., the transmission 'bangs' from gear to gear when upshifting after a cold start. Maybe I should get some synthetic transmission fluid?
hmm maybe your Tribeca is "possessed" - sorry for the poor halloween humor...
where is the message popping up at? on your Audio Screen or the area where you read the odometer on the dash?
bummer - sounds like you need to get it the dealer ... you could try hitting the eject button with the radio turned off and then hold it down and power the radio on... just a wild idea ...
Looks like the lens is availble separately for $80 :surprise:
or you can buy the whole foglight assembly for $95 :confuse:
the amount of time to heat the lens and remove and reglue the new lens I thinkg buying the whole assembly makes more sense.
now I noticed the right lens has a small crack in it. going to try windshield repair on that side... the left lens is really cracked :mad:
I was washing the car the other day and noticed a road chip spot on the car and rust was forming! I purchased the vehicle in Sept in DE and now currently live in NC. Do I just have to take it to the local dealer for touch-up?
I don't think Mahogony Red paint is out in the stores yet. Thanks for the advise.
The panels that aren't aluminum are galvanized steel. That basically coats the panels to prevent rust. Then they are primered and painted.
But it sounds like the chip was deep enough to get through all that and expose the bare, unprotected metal. The coating was basically scraped off.
Clean the area up with some naval jelly (be careful and read the instructions) and then use a dab of touch-up paint. You want to cover the exposed area as soon as possible.
vger105 Posts: 57We ordered a Seacrest Green Tribeca, which we're picking up Monday, and we are so excited! The only problem is that Subaru, for some unknown reason, doesn't offer satellite radio in its cars.
Has anyone added this feature? We have one in our Quest, but it's attached to the dashboard and looks so "added on."
We're hoping a more sophisticated way of getting satellite radio is possible.
You have to be careful about the windshield repair kits, during the curing/hardening process there is heat- and can possibly melt the plastic- make sure the resin is formulated for plastic- again something I learned through the link I sent you.
I think it would be better to remove the whole assembly and then try to work with it, much easier on your back. I'm sure it'll turn out just fine- worst case scenario you buy another unit, best case, costs you $10!
NO Heat in the windshield repair kit. it hardens via exposure to UV light just like the stuff the pros use to fix your cracked windshield. the question is how to get the @#$@$# fog light lens off the fog light assembly :confuse:
anyone see where I can find a diagram of it?

What seems perfectly obvious to the experienced cook can scare a novice right out of the kitchen, so for those of you who are new to cooking, we've put together some tips, suggestions, and simple explanations that we hope will squelch your fears and make it the fun and satisfying adventure it is meant to be. We've also included our favorite Lazy Gourmet tips and shortcuts -- tricks that will make cooking faster and easier. So whether you're a kitchen newbie or a lazy old pro, read this section to discover a tip or two that we hope will help you prepare easy, stress-free, delicious meals.
Before you begin cooking -- even before you decide on something you think you'd like to make -- read the whole recipe all the way through. Make sure you know up front if something needs to be made the day before and chilled overnight, or if it's best served straight out of the oven, or if it serves two people and you're expecting 10.
"One teaspoon of ground cumin" is merely a suggestion. In fact, unless you're baking, when precise measurements truly do matter, most recipes are merely suggestions. Since this is a cookbook, as opposed to a conversation, we provide detailed instructions for making our dishes -- but please take those instructions with a grain (or half a teaspoon) of salt. If you adore black pepper, or garlic, or beets, go ahead and use as much as you'd like, wantonly ignoring our recommendations. Just take care not to overdo it; taste as you go.
One of your authors learned this rule late in life. After a couple of frustrating bouts with dull, bland home fries, she had a lightbulb moment when she discovered a key rule of cooking: Salt doesn't just make stuff salty; it's more like a magical ingredient that functions in a multitude of ways. Salt balances out the flavors of whatever you're cooking, making sweet, sour, or bitter flavors more prominent; tenderizes meat; and draws moisture from vegetables, which aids in caramelization. If your soup tastes bland despite the fact that it's packed with innately delicious ingredients, add a pinch of salt and -- abracadabra! -- taste it again. Same with stews, roasted veggies, meats, sandwiches, and even desserts. Don't overdo it -- add a pinch at a time and taste as you go.
Don't you hate it when you measure something sticky like honey and half of it sticks to the measuring cup? Try oiling your measuring cup with vegetable or olive oil spray before measuring and even the stickiest ingredients will slide right out.

The Glukkons were scared 'cause profits were grim.A series of games starting on the original Playstation, the Oddworld series (the only series made by the aptly-named Oddworld Inhabitants) are fournote games that take place on the alien planet of Oddworld. Revolving around either Almighty Janitor Abe & co. or the Bounty Hunter Stranger, the games typically involve their protagonist going up against The Man in an anti-corporate, pro-environment plotline that is surprisingly not too anvilicious.In the first game, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Mudokon cleaner Abe spies on an executive board meeting at RuptureFarms, a slaughterhouse/factory, where he learns profits are dwindling due to livestock sources reaching extinction. The execs, known as Glukkons, decide then and there that the way to drive profits up is to chop up the Mudokon slaves they have cleaning the factories. Naturally terrified, Abe escapes from RuptureFarms 1029 while rescuing as many of his fellow slaves as possible and, after meeting native Big Face, Abe must save the remaining wildlife, regain a lost ancient power, and return to RuptureFarms to liberate his people.Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, taking off exactly where Oddysee left off, has Abe promptly setting off to take down SoulStorm Brewery, a distillery that makes highly addictive drinks from the bones of the Mudokon dead. Fundamentally similar to Oddysee, Exoddus adds Mudokon emotions and states (including angry, sad, excited and blind to name a few). It also tripled the Mudokon slave total as Abe topples the SoulStorm Mining Co., Bonewerkz, Slig Barracks, and FeeCo Depot.The third game is Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, and introduces Last of His Kind Munch the Gabbit. After Gabbits are hunted to the brink of extinction for their eggs (sold as product Gabbiar), Munch is teamed up with Abe in an attempt to manipulate the Glukkons and win the last Gabbiar can in existence through an auction. Not only is it the first 3D game in the series, Munch's Oddysee introduces an additional race for saving (the Fuzzles), allows the player to control two heroes, lets the Mudokons level up and fight back (to an extent) and adds an anti-animal testing message to its range of anvils.Finally, there's spin-off Oddworld: Strangers Wrath; set in a Wild West far from Rupture Farms, the story follows a bounty hunter called "Stranger" as he tries to make enough cash for a mysterious, life-saving operation. Released as an expansive titlenote , Stranger's Wrath is more of a First/Third-Person Shooter that gives the player a critter-firing crossbow, as well as a more aggressive (and less platform based) experience.After the release of Stranger's Wrath, Oddworld Inhabitants appeared to quietly disappear from the video games industry, leaving the story hanging and a long-awaited RTS called Hand Of Odd unreleased. However, in December 2010, the formerly Xbox-exclusive entries finally received a cross-platform Updated Re-release in the form of the OddBoxx, including every entry so far in the series, up for download on Steam and the Playstation Network.In mid-2011, the company made an unexpected (but by no means unwelcome) return to the industry, and promptly announced high-definition remasterings of Stranger's Wrath and Munch's Oddysee, which are to be released via digital distribution for PC, PS3, PS 4, Vita and Wii U, and developed by Just Add Water Ltd. A ground-up 2.5D remake of Oddysee, dubbed Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, was released on July 22, 2014 for PS 4, with a release date for other systems still pending.
Paramites and Scrabs had been turning up thin.
But Molluck was cool; he had a plan.

Special Council Meeting on BT II
I had fun Tweeting there I guess. I picked up three or four followers during the meeting too. I really just love everybody who was there. I love the whole community. I love Shay and Lauren Glenn and Ed Adrian and Paul Decelles- Bob Kiss, Dale Tillotson. Yes, I even love Sharon Bushor. Briggs- Kurt- Everybody! We are lucky to have so many caring people in our community.
The meeting itself was technically worthless, but did it have a meaning and a purpose? Did it restore any public trust? Is there any chance BT can be resurrected? The answer is- yeah probably restored a little trust. Kinda-sorta. It certainly didn't hurt the mayor or BT to have a Festivus style airing of the grievances. There's something to be said for the inoculation of political rock-bottom. Or maybe freedom is just another name for nothing left to lose. Or something.

The City Kids Are Alright
Breaking News
City Council Keeps "Nuclear Option"
to Scuttle After-School Changes on Table
I talked to John Briggs downtown today and he said Paul Decelles and Karen Paul were sponsering a resolution that would put the kibosh on the politically disastrous plan for the school department to absorb the after-school program and kick its long-time leaders to the curb.
I went to today's informational meeting about this incredibly unpopular, practically radio-active proposal at CP Smith, and there was nobody there representing the superintendent or the 'leadership council' she's a member of, which is offering the proposed changes. The community members who were there were livid and non-plussed. They implored me as a school board member to try to stop the plan.
I called Paul Decelles this evening and he said that he and Karen Paul had both drafted kibosh resolutions, but he deferred because hers was better and so it's Karen's resolution- which will call for an expanded leadership council to go back to the drawing board- that's on the council's agenda for Monday night. Here is the operative clause:
"NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED, that the recommendation put forward by the Leadership Council be put on hold until January 1 with the Leadership Council continuing to meet but with the addition of the following members: no more than three parents who have children attending Burlington Kids, one site coordinator now employed by Parks and Recreation and one now employed by the School Department, one school board member and one City Councilor who will together to review the budget, evaluate the program and assess its challenges and successes, and arrive at a process for public engagement so the communities' voice can be heard."
The tea leaves say Karen's resolution would have broad support if it remains on the agenda. The latest scuttlebutt however is that 'leadership council' member Mari Steinbach who runs Burlington's Parks and Recreation Department may be backing off and rethinking. She, the superintendent and the other 'leadership council' members met tonight to come up with some adjustments to their incredibly unpopular current plan.
Decelles said the council is keeping the kibosh resolution on Monday's agenda as a sort of "nuclear option," in case the current incarnation of the 'leadership council' doesn't step back from the brink of its utterly toxic, third-rail of an idea on its own. "If the leadership council recognizes their error, we may not need to go through with the resolution." he said.

Fifty Percent Does Not Matter
John Briggs reports today that last night the city council…
"Approved by an 11-3 vote, with the council's three Republicans opposed, a measure that instructs the Charter Change Committee, by Oct. 25, to create language for the charter requiring a majority vote — 50 percent plus one — for the winning candidate in a mayoral election. If approved by city voters, the change would then require approval by the Legislature."
A couple of thoughts on this-
*The charter change committee might just hand the council IRV again.
*Assuming IRV (or Condorcet or any such method) is out, and a real runoff must be employed to attain 50%+1, then I hope the folks who argued in favor of IRV because it would spare us the expense of a runoff, realize a majority-winner system will likely necessitate that dreaded expensive runoff. I hope the anti-IRV folks like me who argued for the benefits of a "real" runoff vs. an "instant" runoff realize a majority winner system will likely necessitate that critical extra-time to hear from the top candidates- or for an October surprise to happen. Oh boy!
*Anyone arguing any side of a new system related to the council's action last night is likely to find themselves in some kind of hypocritical territory, because at the very least what's good for the goose ought to be good for the gander. Why don't we ever include city council races in these discussions? They're all still at the 40% threshold, aren't they? Tinker with yer own darn elections, why don't cha, council?
*Just leave it alone already people. I'm with the Republicans on this. It's fine the way it is. Nobody questions the legitimacy of a plurality mayor or a of a plurality president for that matter. Move on already.

A Million Dollar Difference
A million dollar difference
From: "Haik Bedrosian" View contact details
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Cc: email@example.com
Hi John (and Mike),
Please see the excerpts below from two stories you wrote. One was published today, and one was published yesterday. I have emphasized the type face in each regarding the amount BT owes the city. First of all, I believe the number is $17M, but yesterday you said $16M and today you said $15.
Did BT pay the city back a million dollars since yesterday?
Burlington City Council to consider department appointments
By John Briggs, Free Press Staff Writer • Monday, April 26, 2010
"The municipally owned Internet, telephone and cable TV provider is $50 million in debt and has no plan in place to erase the debt. Some $16 million is owed to the city, which used the money from 2007 to 2009 to sustain BT.
Burlington City Council seeks oversight

Council Hires Budget Consultant
The city council has hired George Cross to be its own budget analyst.
From John Briggs at The Burlington Free Press:
Cross said that with the system Burlington has, of an elected chief executive, "there are times when the City Council, in doing its due diligence on issues, has a need for someone who is an employee of the council rather than the administration."
I have been suggesting that the council empower itself in ways like this for years. Good on them. I approve.
George Cross is the husband of Dorothy "Dottie" Cross, who was a close old friend of my mother Louise.

Ben Pacy Resigns
City Clerk Retires at Age 45
At Burlington Free Press John Briggs says:
"After more than 25 years of working for the city, I've decided it's time to move on to seek new opportunities," Pacy said in a news release. "I am appreciative of the opportunity I have had to work here and serve the people of Burlington." He did not respond to requests for comments.
What the hell? He just barely had his legs under him in terms of running elections. Now who's going to do it? Leopold?
Why is Pacy quitting? This is very vexing. Is working under Leopold horrible? Could that be it? Does it have something to do with Burlington Telecom? Is it just the strain of being the city clerk?
Sure he's got a city pension and can retire if he wants, but why now?

Council Delays Financing V
I think now it's safe to say "scuttles." They just voted 8-6 to put out a request for proposal to try to get other funding offers from other money companies. That move essentially rendered moot the resolution that would have authorized the letter of intent for a 61 million dollar funding deal with Piper Jaffray. So moot, it was withdrawn.
(Now as I'm writing they are considering Paul Decelles's resolution to kick the CAO off the board of finance. I'll let Briggs report on what happens with that.)
So will the scuttling of the financing proposal scuttle BT itself? BT's chances of survival are clearly diminished after tonight. It's out of money and another big draw from pooled cash to keep it afloat seems unlikely.
We'll see what happens…

Bob Kiss Blogs about BT
The Mayor discusses the ongoing controversy surrounding Burlington Telecom at The Prog Blog.
Also, The Burlington Free Press obtained an unauthorized copy of the communications between Leopold and city lawyers. The documents won't officially become public until the resolution to release them, passed unanimously last night by the city council, gets the mayor's signature. The story will be here for a limited time.
