[donotprint]Summer is officially here! Like I mentioned on this post Mexico City summers are cool and wet. It has been rainy and in the 60s since last Saturday. However, I hear from my friends that in many parts of the US it has been humid and extremely hot. It is to all of you I want to dedicate this recipe.
When I decided to roll Mango Mania 2012 I knew I wanted to include some kind of cold soup. I was inspired by a delicious soup I had last year in Azul Condesa for their mango festival. It was cold, it was creamy, it was just delicious. I'm still planning to make something similar, but in the meantime here's another great cold soup to keep you cool.
Gazpacho is a Spanish tomato-base soup that is made with raw vegetables and served cold. It's widely popular in Spain and Portugal during the summer months because of its refreshing qualities. Oddly enough, I have never made the original gazpacho but have experimented with the idea and made a green grape and a watermelon gazpachos that turned out delicious and refreshing. And now I bring to you my latest gazpacho creation using my favorite fruit as the main ingredient. And I got to use the brand new food processor Jon gave me for my birthday![/donotprint]
- 3 ripe manila or ataulfo mangoes, peeled and cut in cubes
- ½ cup orange juice (optional, see note below)
- ½ white onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded
- 3 to 4 stalks of celery
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt and white pepper to taste
- 1 avocado, cubed
- mint leaves for garnish
- Using a food processor blend mango, onion and garlic. Use some orange juice if necessary (see note below).
- Add the rest of the ingredients, except avocado and mint leaves, and pulse until they get roughly chopped. If you want a smoother consistency blend for longer.
- Chill the gazpacho for at least two hours and served in chilled bowls or glasses.
- Garnish with avocado and mint leaves and stay cool!
¡Buen provecho!

Marvelously refreshing and so flavorful! Very interesting and really original.
We're in the steambath here in southern New England, and this gazpacho looks good enough to dive into!
Another great one. So original and beautiful. Love the photos 2.
This is a great idea! I love gazpacho and I like experimenting with new versions, this one looks worth it if only for that amazing color.
This is a unique and different dish to me. I would try it for sure.
Wow Ben, this mango gazpacho looks awesome, so flavorful with all the veggies "hidden" in it. Love the color as well.
Thanks for this recipe and hope you are having a great week -
It hit 106 in DC today! Need this so badly!!
It has not hit those seasonal hot temperatures here in the west as yet despite summers arrival, but that would not stop me from enjoying this refreshing soup Ben.
I love to gazpacho and cold soups in general, and your version of mango gazpacho looks wonderful. I never thought to put orange juice in mine, but will definitely try it.
I tend to not love tomato-based gazpachos….but mango-based? Swoon.

I ordered a Desert Rose from Ebay not sure now who the seller was. It arrived in August 2011. It never grew just sat there until about a month ago. I was happy to finally see a little green nub appear and then a tiny leaf growing and that was about it so I thought there was hope. Today when I looked at it the tiny leaf dried up. I unpotted it and the whole bottom was soft and rotten. I cut it off and placed it aside. Since there are no roots is there any point of keeping it. Will it get roots? It wasn't overwatered as the soil was very dry. I don't know what I did wrong. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh Betty, I am so sorry for your bad experience. You didn't do anything wrong, as a desert rose grower myself, sometimes you don't know what went wrong until the root get rotten. Dry it out for few days and pot it again. Good luck. |
I sometimes root the stems I prune. This year I'd say that about 50% rooted and it takes quite a while. Keep in mind that a cutting will never develop an enlarged caudex but you will still get blooms. Allow the cut end to dry before potting up your cutting. Good luck |

Now that I know that some of you are real Roy Rogers fans, I can ask you more challenging questions.
Here are three! 1. What was the name of Roy's ranch?

Mmmmmmmm, 1) Flying ? still thinking. 2) Didn't they lose a child at an early age, Just a guess Dale wrote about this. 3) Cover up? Annette |
Whew-now you've got me. I think I may know the name of the Roy's ranch and would double down on that bet, but the other two? No clue (could actually make a guess on #3, though, thanks to your clue, TM), so will look to the rest of you for those. Hit me... |
Aw, Annette, you jogged something. Have I mentioned what I do for a living before? Can't remember, but it is a very special job that I love. Your comment made me slap myself upside my head-lol. Didn't know the book, but have heard mention of the situation before. I agree about #3, but I was going somewhere else on #1. Hmmm...I'll ask DH. |
- Posted by lorna-organic (My Page) on Sun, Jul 11, 10 at 12:21
You've got me stumped on 1 & 3, TM. I believe Dale's book was about her son who was born with Down's Syndrome. In those days Down's was called Mongoloidism. |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sun, Jul 11, 10 at 13:09
1) Why I keep thinking Flying....... I don't know, might be thinking of another western star. Double R makes sense, still thinking. Can you tell I'm just guessing at these LOL. Annette ....Remember Lash Larue, he always dressed in black and had that biggggg bull whip and... Hoppy and Gene, The Cisco Kid and The Lone Ranger? Roy was my favorite. |
- Posted by greylady-gardener 6/5 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 11, 10 at 21:21
Well I totally forgot to come and look today as I spent almost the whole day outside in the garden :) I rarely get to do that! It was so much fun to get something done, and have at least one of the beds look great. anyway it wouldn't have mattered as none of this is ringing a bell....I do remember the name of the book but didn't remember why it was called that. the name of the ranch and the request to Wonder Woman are real stumpers too! |
1. The ranch was called the Double R Bar Ranch 2. I messed up a little on this question. It was actually a daughter, Robin Elizabeth, who inspired the book Dale wrote. Robin had Down Syndrome (Lorna got it right.) and died at about age two. 3. Roy said that Wonder Woman had to wear more clothing. So she did: I'm not sure how to award stars today, and it's just for fun anyway, so for everyone for playing trivia with me today! I am going to go ahead and take a summer vacation from Weekend Trivia, starting today. I will still be around pretty much every day and would have fun trying to answer trivia questions any of you want to put out here. Let's see whatcha got. Thanks for playing trivia this weekend, and every weekend. The ball is now in your court. TM |

I live in Southeast Houston, in the Clear Lake area. I would love to be able to open my own bakery but I am a MOTHER first. Even if my husband weren't out of town so much, I would still not want to take the time and energy I would have to put into a bakery away from my children. They need me at home. I decorate cakes for friends and family all the time and only charge for the ingredients. They all always pay me extra and every one of them gripes at me about not charging enough and not passing out business cards at their parties. I keep trying to tell them about the law and that I can't legally do it at home and that that's the reason I only do it for people I know and only for the cost of the ingredients. They all keep introducing me to their friends and say now you know her so you can make cakes for her too. I sent four cakes for the cakewalk at my son's school last year and was asked for my card by all the women in the office when I delivered them and a bunch of people from the PTA. The PTA pres. asked if I would be willing to raffle a "cake of your choice" at next year's carnival. I told her I didn't think I could do that and I explained the law. There is a bakery nearby that everyone uses and every time someone new tries one of my cakes, they tell me I need to advertise because I would put the other bakery out of business. They all say my cakes look and taste better than the bakery's cakes. I don't know what to do. This is something that I'm pretty good at and getting better with every cake. I've never taken a class and have taught myself everything I know with a little help from you guys once in a while. I LOVE decorating cakes. And the impossible ideas are my favorite because I love figuring out a way to do something. I try to make everything on my cakes edible. I CANNOT open a bakery, especially not by myself. I want to be around for my kids and my husband. But now I'm afraid that I'm going to get in trouble because so many people know about me now. I would love for the law to be changed so that I could do this legally at home. I guess now I'm just going to have to stop making cakes for everyone but my family and closest friends. I don't have all of my pictures posted on here but I have a photo album that gets lots of oohs and aahs every time someone looks at it. I guess it's time to put it away or go ask for a job at the bakery. I really don't want to work for someone else though, with them selling my creations under their name. It doesn't seem quite fair!

Monsoon dropping lots of water, but drought remains unchanged
PHOENIX -- The monsoon has delivered plenty of rainfall in several Arizona locations over the summer, but a climate expert said it won't end the drought.
Arizona State University professor Randy Cerveny said all the rain still won't end the drought that began in 1997.
Earlier this week New River and Black Canyon City saw several inches of rain; flooding ensued. During this monsoon the National Weather Service said Prescott has had 10.24 inches of rain, twice the norm. Flagstaff at nine inches was almost twice its average.
That may look good on paper, but "It doesn't really soak in because it falls so intensely that it runs off as opposed to general rain that allows it to soak into the soil," Cerveny said. "Snow cover is really the drought busting moisture that we need."
El Nino is expected to bring more snow in the winter.

Conference |
and Society |
Writing Workshop |
Intensive English Institute on
Become fluent in SF by becoming familiar with some of the most-influential works
that shaped the genre. Since 1975. |
The University of Kansas continues its role as the leader in science fiction education. I can do no greater service to teachers than to repeat the advice that I gave in Anatomy of Wonder 4: you should attend one of the Intensive English Institutes on the Teaching of Science Fiction offered at the University of Kansas each summer. For 2015, the Intensive English Institute on the Teaching of Science Fiction is scheduled for June 15–26. The Campbell Conference runs June 12–14, and students are expected to attend at least the Saturday and Sunday events of the Conference - and starting last year, we offer free basic Conference membership to all CSSF summer-program attendees; note that you are a student in your registration form. You are invited to attend the Awards Ceremony on Friday, but you must still register and pay for the meal if you wish to eat. The Campbell Conference plans to bring the winners of the Campbell and Sturgeon Awards to the campus as guests, as well as other special guests. We usually meet in one of the scholarship hall rooms where the SF Workshop meets - KU Housing assigns space late in the Spring. The Institute is also available as a full-semester course, alternating with the prior summer's SF Institute topic, which also alternates each year. So for 2015, the Summer-semester SF Institute is the short story and the 2015 Fall-semester Literature of SF course is the novel. This year's SF Institute will focus on the readings listed below.
Housing information for out-of-town guests and students is also available below. Institute InformationThe Intensive English Institute on the Teaching of Science Fiction runs for 12 consecutive days. Students are expected to attend at least the Saturday and Sunday events of the Campbell Conference (June 12–14) before classroom discussion begins, and also encouraged to attend Thursday and Friday events (if any). The subjects for discussion in the Institutes alternate each year between the stories in the first four volumes of James Gunn's six-volume historical anthology, The Road to Science Fiction, and a list of 25 novels. This summer's (2015) discussion focuses on the short fiction. Next year (2016), discussion will focus on the novel. You can find the SF Short Story syllabus here, and the SF Novels syllabus here.
The purpose of the Institute is to provide an understanding of contemporary and future science fiction through studying the history of SF. We read a diversity of great SF and discuss how the genre got to be what it is today by comparing stories and their place in the evolution of SF, from the earliest prototypical examples through recent work. Permission from Chris McKitterick must be obtained at least a month before the first session so that reading can be completed before the class begins. As in the past, CSSF Director Chris McKitterick leads the course. Founding Director James Gunn - one of the pioneer teachers of science fiction - might join the discussions on occasion, but to be sure to have time to talk with Gunn, join us at Mrs. E's for lunch (noon-12:50pm most days). So as not to compete with other summer English courses - which are almost all scheduled for the morning hours - Institute sessions begin promptly at 1:00pm and normally end by 4:00pm, though sometimes discussions might run a bit longer, and attendees usually gather for dinner together each evening in beautiful downtown Lawrence. Class likely meets in a lounge in Krehbiel Scholarship Hall, 1301 Ohio St. Classes meet on both Saturday and Sunday between the first and second weeks, and students are strongly encouraged to attend the Campbell Conference weekend beforehand, as well. Housing and meals, if desired, can be arranged separately. Information on housing and a form to indicate interest in the Institute or Workshop can be found below. Be sure to complete the reading for the course before the course begins; students who fail to do so quickly fall behind, and everyone is expected to participate in the discussions. There are no exams, but students write short (one page or less) responses to each day's set of readings - in advance of the day's session - and a final project. We will have a Blackboard interface available for uploading papers in early June for those who wish to get started early. Your grade (if taking the class for credit) is based on attendance, participation, response papers, and a final paper due the week after the course ends. This paper may be one of the following:
Permission to enroll must be obtained from Chris McKitterick well before the course begins (at least one month) so you have time to read the course materials in advance. 2015 Institute SyllabusThis year, we will study and discuss the short stories from the reading list below. This list might shift a bit, but will be firm by April. For more details on how the course operates, see this year's syllabus here.Short-Fiction Reading List (Fall 2014 and Summer 2015)In Fall 2014 and Summer 2015, we'll read and discuss the first four (of six) volumes of The Road to Science Fiction anthology, edited by James Gunn:
Full details about which stories we'll be reading and discussing on each day is available in the syllabus here. For further reading, Gunn has also edited two more volumes (recommended, but not required):
You can also order the revised editions of the first four volumes directly from Scarecrow Press: http://www.scarecrowpress.com/. Use the Quick Search keywords "James Gunn." You will find this handy Readings Guide very useful in finding the stories in our various volumes. For those who wish to start reading early for Summer or the Fall
2016 regular-semester
version of the course,
we will study most of stories and essays from the following books (the list might see some further
changes; check back for updates):
Novels Reading List (Fall 2015 and Summer 2016)Here is this year's reading order:
Some of these volumes might be difficult to find, so we urge you seek copies early and, when books are out of print, search used bookstores and online services (we provide links to two major online booksellers after each title, above). The University of Kansas Jayhawk Ink bookstore tries to always have copies of these books on hand. Address:
Kansas Union, Lawrence KS 66045 Here is the full list of this year's novels. NOTE: This list has been updated over the years to reflect recent important works that helped shape the genre.
Here are the books that have been removed since 2008 - they are still important and recommended works for understanding the history of the SF novel, but we only have so much time to discuss everything:
The Center holds a few copies of many of these books, so if you are local to Lawrence or are in town for our other summer programs, check with us to see if we can lend you a copy. These are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and our library is supplied by previous students donating copies after completing their course. This year, sessions will be held in a lobby in Rieger Scholarship Hall at 1323 Ohio Street, a brand new residence located near the Kansas Student Union, Oread Hotel, and downtown. Classes meet every day of the period including Saturday and Sunday. Institute sessions begin at 1:00pm and normally end around 4:00pm. Students often gather for lunch beforehand (usually in the Student Union, just up the hill), and for dinner, movies, and further discussions in the evening. You can find the SF Novels syllabus here. Academic CreditThe Institute offers three hours of KU undergraduate credit as English 506 "Science Fiction" or for KU graduate credit as English 790 "Studies in a Genre" (write early if you wish to take the course for credit but are not a KU student).
The course may also be taken not-for-credit, but you must first get permission from
Chris McKitterick. Most non-KU students take this route. Enrollment Information and Request FormA new online-registration form is available online. Everyone - including those taking the course for credit or not-for-credit - must fill out this form by the dates listed above. If you are not a current KU student but wish to take the course for graduate credit, you need to apply as a non-degree-seeking graduate student. Fill out this KU application form and supply a copy of an official transcript showing proof of an undergraduate degree. On the application form is an area for comments/notes. Indicate that you wish to enroll only for the summer SF Teaching Institute (ENGL 790). You must enroll using the KU online enrollment system, and you need a permission code from Chris McKitterick (firstname.lastname@example.com) sometime during April. You can officially enroll for graduate credit after you have the code, but be sure to enroll by June 1 or KU will charge a late-enrollment fee. If you have any questions about the application or enrollment process, please contact Lydia Ash (email@example.com). Contact us for any logistical help you might need in getting settled for your stay. CostsFor credit-earning students, cost is the University of Kansas tuition for 3 credits as English 506 "Science Fiction" (undergraduate) or English 790 "Studies in a Genre" (graduate). Non-residents should expect to pay more for KU credit. To take this course through the Center for the Study of Science Fiction (not for credit), the cost is $250. If required for a non-credit student, we can provide a certificate of completion for the course. Please complete your registration and make all payments before you arrive. Dorm and meal costs rise the longer you stay, of course, so plan appropriately. Meals vary in cost depending on where you eat. If you want to reserve a spot for next year's Institute, please complete the online-registration form and send a check made out to the University of Kansas in the spring. We require that not-for-credit students send their reservation and check by May 20, or we might not be able to reserve a position in the course. Earlier registration is better, as the course often fills. Housing for the InstituteOur official dorm housing for out-of-town attendees is Rieger Scholarship Hall at 1323 Ohio Street, a brand-new residence located near the Kansas Student Union, Oread Hotel, and downtown. Rooms share a bathroom (about one with 3 stalls and showers/bath per 6 rooms), and have a sink and counter space for a microwave or other small kitchen equipment. Other building amenities include a lovely wraparound porch with seating (including a chair-swing or two), basketball court, pool table, and many private study areas. Be sure to let Lydia Ash know if you have special needs. Dormitory rooms are available at the following rates (2014 prices; stay tuned for new costs):
If you wish to stay in a dorm, you must make dorm reservations by May 24. Please pay for your room in advance once you hear from Lydia Ash about this year's final rate. Check-out is at noon. Use the new online-registration form to reserve a dorm room. Check out VisitLawrence.com for local hotel information. Meals are available in a variety of places, including the Kansas Union
and a myriad of local restaurants. Check out
Lawrence.com for a list of just a
few of the local eating establishments. More logistical information is available

Along with a huge football game Friday night, three other things are on the minds of local sports fans this week — turkey, shopping and basketball.
While tons of turkey will expand waistlines and Black Friday will lighten wallets, all six county high school hoop squads will hit the local hardwood in holiday tournament action beginning tonight.
The MurMaid Mattress Classic has not only moved to the early part of the holiday week, but expanded to a second site, for opening night.
A half dozen teams will gather at "The Stable" this evening, including both host Walker Valley squads and the Bradley Central boys, while seven other teams, including both Cleveland High units, will open play at the traditional host site at the Raider Dome. Wednesday the annual event will go all day long with seven games slated for CHS.
At "The Stable" this evening, Bradley and the Hamilton Heights boys will tip off the action at 5 with a rematch of last Friday's battle at Jim Smiddy Arena, in which the undefeated international "tall trees" from the Chattanooga private school held off a late charge by the Bears to claim the victory.
The co-host Walker Valley squads will take their home court beginning at 6:30, with a girls and boys doubleheader against Hardin Valley Academy. The Knoxville area squads are coached by former Cleveland assistant coaches Keith and Jennifer Galloway.
Over at the Raider Dome, the Hamilton Heights girls will square off against McMinn County in the 3 p.m. opener, followed the Rossview boys facing the Cherokees at 4:30.
The host Cleveland squads will wrap up the first night with the Lady Raiders taking on Baylor at 6, while the Blue Raiders will face Rossview at 7:30 in the Clarksville-based squad's second contest of the day.
In non-tournament action this evening, Polk County will play host to Hiwassee Dam, N.C., plus the Lee University ladies will take on Auburn-Montgomery at Walker Arena at 6.
The MurMaid Classic will resume Wednesday morning at the Raider Dome with the marathon tipping off at 10:30 as the Hamilton Heights boys facing McMinn County before the Lady Cherokees and Baylor battle at noon.
Five straight games with local teams in action will follow as both Walker Valley squads will tangle with Hamilton Heights at 1:30 and 3, followed by the Bradley boys taking on Hardin Valley at 4:30. The hosts will once again wrap up the action with the Lady Raiders facing Hardin Valley at 6 and the Raiders tangling with McCallie in the nightcap at 7:30.
After a day to enjoy family and food Thursday, the annual Mountain View Inn Thanksgiving Tournament will tip off Friday and Saturday at Jim Smiddy Arena.
The all-girls' team event will feature five squads in a round-robin format with action starting at 2 p.m. Friday afternoon as Hamilton Heights will take on Oak Ridge.
The host Bradley Central ladies will take the court at 4:30 Friday against Knoxville Webb, while Hamilton Heights will return to the court at 6 p.m. to face Franklin County.
On Saturday morning, the action will tip off at 10:30 with Knox Webb and Franklin County, followed by Bradley taking on Oak Ridge at noon. The varsity squads will get a break in the middle of the day at the Bradley and Franklin County junior varsity squads play at 1:45.
The event will wrap up with a pair of games Saturday evening as Hamilton heights and Knox Webb play at 5, followed by the Bradley and Franklin County varsity squads at 6:30

Boot up the LiveCD on that machine, mount the partitions again, chroot, and run genkernel --menuconfig all. When you are at the kernel configuration menu go to

The VESA driver type that you have selected now should be vesafb-tng, change that to just vesafb. After that press ESC a bunch of times until you get a menu asking if you want to save your new kernel configuration, simply hit yes and follow the rest of genkernels instructions.

text: Was Porter Robinson's original "Lionhearted" a bit too M83 for you? Want a version with a bit more of that reckless abandon to it? Insomniac Records' own Arty is here to help ease this one into the sets of your favorite festival mavens. What works here is that it's far from a total rework; he's literally just juiced more crowd-friendly vibes to it, and in giving it a more consistent knock to help ease in those that might not have bit the first time. No word on the release date of this, but we have a feeling there are more intriguing takes of worlds material on the way.

MISSOULA - Missoula has gone wild over Facebook voting, and it could payoff. Not only is the city taking on Huntsville, Alabama to host the 2013 Social Media Tourism Symposium, but a Fighting Hunger Together Facebook campaign is also underway.
The Kids Table program at Missoula Food Bank is one of 300 programs that could receive a $20,000 grant.
"It's a really great opportunity, and a really easy way to advocate for kids living in our neighborhoods who are struggling with hunger, so we really hope people get out there. It's a one click vote, it's really easy," said Missoula Food Bank Community Relations Director Jessica Allred.
The public may vote once a day for the Missoula Food Bank throughout April, until 11:59 p.m. on April 30. Visitors to the page can award one "vote" a day. Once the voting has closed, the food banks that have received the most votes will split $3 million in funding from Walmart.

What started as a challenge to film in difficult high contrast scenes turned into long sessions and a mini film of these ancient trees. This video is motion control time lapse of the enchanted California coastal Redwoods.
"Sequoia sempervirens is the sole living species of the genus Sequoia in the cypress family Cupressaceae. Common names include coast redwood, California redwood, and giant redwood." Wikipedia
I hope this inspires people to explore the beautiful outdoors. While Redwoods have a special majesty about them, one can find magic in nature everywhere.

I have PLENTY of both regular and variegated kerria japonica if you want some suckers, also clerodendrum trichotoma (harlequin glorybower -- a nice five-foot shrub that blooms in white fragrant flat panicles, then the berries turn blue while the brachts stay maroon, and then later the leaves go golden before they drop -- definitely a three-season shrub, though again it DOES sucker). I also have a large abelia (really a part-sun shrub, but truly blooms all summer) that I would like to dig up and replace with a blueberry.

on June 11, 2014So there's this freedom-fighter in Indiana who refuses to bend a knee to the tyranny of the impoverished.
"For almost three generations people, in some cases, have been given handouts. They have been 'enabled' so much that their paradigm in life is simply being given the stuff of life, however meager. What you see is a setting for a life of misery is life to them never-the-less. No one has the guts to just let them wither and die. No one who wants votes is willing to call a spade a spade. As long as the Dems can get their votes the enabling will continue. The Republicans need their votes and dare not cut the fiscal tether. It is really a political Catch-22. The voters are the ones in charge. however when only 10-11 percent show up to vote, not much will change. People simply are not hurting enough, or simply happy enough that they will do nothing. consequently the dole continues."
Will any of these jamokes ever realize that social media is forever? Anyway, we've had the now ritualized weaselspeak in response.
"I was not trying to hurt anybody's feelings," Johnston said. "I saw the opportunity to say something. I think a lot of the poor have no way out, and there's no motivation to improve your position. It's like training a child, either you enable them or force them out at some point." The discussion thread appeared on the Mad Mac page, which pokes fun at Northwest Indiana politics. Johnston, a former instructor in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Portage High School, said he doesn't advocate ending programs such as welfare or food stamps. "My main point is that the programs are used as political tools," Johnston said. "Sometimes it hurts, but you might give them less to motivate someone to get a job."
The use of "my main point" is an example of what scholars have come to define as The Goldberg Maneuver. Well-played, my friend.

text: Until I started college three years ago, I lived in a rural community in Costa Rica with a mostly English library (lots of people moved there from the U.S. in the 50s) and had no significant Internet access or skills until I was into high school. The library has lots of science fiction and I got started reading it probably before I was 7. It hadn't occurred to me before that I'm lucky to have had any sf and fantasy around, but I guess maybe I was. Not much was written for children, though. In fact, I still haven't encountered very much science fiction written for children, and less that I've liked very much. That last experience contrasts pretty strongly with fantasy, and I often wonder about it. Certainly I'm one more for which the statistic under discussion doesn't ring true at all. I read a lot from as soon as I knew how, and though my tastes have broadened a little since I was 13 what I liked then is basically what I like now. Silvio Curtis ________________________________ From: sfra-l-bounces at wiz.cath.vt.edu [sfra-l-bounces at wiz.cath.vt.edu] on behalf of ecbogle [ecbogle at juno.com] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2011 2:58 PM To: sfra-l at charlemagne.cddc.vt.edu Subject: Re: [SFRA-L] Question for the Hive Mind I spent my first four years of elementary school in a town of 500, and grades 5-12 in one of 2700 in NW Iowa. Both had libraries, but I don't think either of them knew anything about science fiction. But Everly's library had all, or nearly all, the Oz books, and I think they were what got me started on "speculative fiction" in the very broadest sense. Nobody tried to guide my reading, and it wasn't till I was in college kid lit courses that I read such classics as The Wind in the Willows, but Oz was an early favorite, and I read some books more than once. Then, in Sibley, there was a Carnegie Library and I read a non-fiction, an adult fiction, a fiction book suited to my age group, and a volume of Harvard Classics each time I went, plus, of course, everything in the few shelves of books in each classroom. There was no real local bookstore, but there was a magazine and paper-back book shop, and that's where I found my first real science fiction, Astounding, and later F&SF. After that I saved whatever money I could from my allowance and from odd jobs for the paperbacks that began appearing, like Ace Doubles. I wonder how many children today are growing up in rural areas without access to libraries? There even are places without easy access to the Web, and if a family is as poor as ours was, the only access to a computer may well be at school for very restricted time periods. How lucky those of you were who grew up in larger places where there actually was access to real sf. I wonder how many of the cuts to the school systems and libraries currently going on are going to restrict other children to not much more than Oz. Of course, tv makes a big difference now, but so many of the tv series and the current films are based on special effects rather than plot or character, let alone ideas.

This piece was republished with permission from Role/Reboot.
Wednesday morning, 7a.m., the radio alarm blaring. Keep your eyes closed. Don't move, because you have miraculously woken up in your old life.
The bed's warm, your husband's snoring next to you. Only the snore is more of a low whine, accompanied by a rough pawing against your back. The dogs, nudging you to get up. Your brain, moving slowly, registers this as a logic puzzle. If you've gone back in time, and your husband is still here, the dogs can't fit on the bed, and the alarm is set to beep.
The dogs do fit on the bed, and the alarm is set to radio, therefore he's dead and time is linear after all.
Your mind veers toward the surreal these days. This person who was Here is Gone, and it's not much of a leap to think other seemingly impossible things may occur. But there's no time to delve into that, the dogs need to get outside; you've got to be at work at 8:15. Keep reading »

Sectional Girls Basketball: Lima Senior stuns Findlay
By MARK HEIMAN
TONTOGANY — There was no doubt what Indiya Benjamin had in mind when she took an inbounds pass and the game was on the line.
"With 14 seconds left I'm told to attack the basket," Benjamin said.
Benjamin did just that as she burst up court, down the right side of the lane and hit a runner with 8.1 seconds left as Lima Senior shocked Findlay High 60-58 in a Division I sectional final at Otsego High School Saturday.
"That was just a normal shot for me. I have to know how to put the ball in the hole," said Benjamin.
The sectional championship puts the Spartans (15-9) in a district semifinal against Perrysburg (21-1) at 7 p.m. Thursday at Otsego.
"It was simple. Just give the ball to Indiya and get the hell out of the way," said Lima Senior coach Vince Halliday, who played seven freshmen and sophomores along with one senior and one junior.
"They handled us the first two times and it is always said the third time is tough. We were two points better today and that is all that matters."
Findlay (18-5) seemed down and out as the Spartans held a 56-50 lead with 57.8 seconds left. But the Trojans' Jacey Hardesty cut the lead in half when she hit a 3-pointer. Benjamin answered with 2 free throws before FHS' Abby Smarkel hit a rebound bucket to make it 58-55.
Lima committed a turnover on the ensuing possession and when Hardesty missed a trey, Taylor Stanfield grabbed the rebound, hit a bucket and was fouled. Stanfield hit the free throw to tie things at 58-58 with 14.0 seconds left.
That set up Benjamin's winning layup as Findlay had trouble getting the ball inbounded and couldn't get off a shot.
"We were down big, but it's a testament to our perseverance that we tied it," said Findlay Coach Connie Lyon, whose team trailed 47-38 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Spartans used the long ball early as Stacia Allen nailed four first-half 3-pointers on the way to a game-high 23 points.
"Stacia was feeling it a little bit early on. Findlay was in that 2-3 zone early and those shots presented themselves early," Halliday said.
Findlay got 13 first-half points from Christina McQueen and used a 12-4 run over the final four minutes of the second quarter to take a 30-27 halftime lead.
The teams traded baskets to start the third quarter, before the Spartans took off on a 16-0 run in just under three minutes to open a 47-36 lead.
"We did not handle their pressure very well," said Lyon, whose team turned the ball over seven times in the third quarter and 20 times overall.
"We gave them multiple opportunities and we were a little impatient. I thought we had more opportunities to reverse the ball more and look for better shots."
Benjamin scored 15 of her 20 points in the second half, many coming on drives to the hoop.
"We attacked the basket really well in the second half," Halliday said. "Our press worked well. We got a few deflections and steals and Findlay got a bit careless with the ball."
McQueen, a senior, finished with 17 points and 17 rebounds for Findlay, which held a 51-26 advantage on the boards. Stanfield added 14 points and 8 rebounds. Nicole Muehl had 11 points and Smarkel 9 in their final Findlay High games.
"It's a tough loss," Lyon said. "You never want to end the season, but I think we played beyond what was expected of us and I'm proud of that."

House backs bill to block EPA power plant rule
By MATTHEW DALY
By MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- The Republican-controlled House has moved to block the president's plan to limit carbon pollution from new power plants.
It's an election-year strike at the White House. The House approved a bill Thursday targeting the power plant rule, as Republicans fight back against what they call the Obama administration's "war on coal."
President Barack Obama's proposal is a key part of his plan to fight climate change. It would set the first national limits on heat-trapping pollution from future power plants.
The House bill was approved 229-183. It would require the Environmental Protection Agency to set carbon emissions standards based on technology in use for at least a year.
Republicans and some coal-state Democrats say the EPA rule is based on carbon-capturing technology that does not currently exist.
The White House has threatened a veto.

August is usually a slow month for aquarium forums in the US. It picks up again mid September once fall begins and kids are settled in at school. When winter starts and most people have limited outdoor activities it picks up. Here's an MSN group that is very useful. It's not a profit type group and its moderated well. No advertisements, except the MSN ones at the top banner. It also is slow in the summer but will pick up soon. The moderator answers to all posts daily. |

Roger Lapham and Sam Morse were the same age and of the same disposition, both of them born in New England and glad to discover in California the freedom from Puritan restraint. They associated the game of golf with gambling and a sporting consumption of alcohol, and they liked to bet extravagant sums on the outcome of nearly every shot (closest to the pin, farthest from the tee, so many strokes to make a safe return from the ice plant or the sand). During the long prayer of Prohibition, the lodge at Pebble Beach never lacked for a fresh deck of cards or a magnum of vintage champagne, and on cold days at Cypress Point, Grandfather was in the habit of playing the round with two bottles of whiskey in the bag--the scotch to drink, the bourbon for warming his hands at the twelfth hole, where the course turns back into the wind.
Like almost everything else in the country, the real estate market on the Monterey Peninsula collapsed during the Great Depression. Houses that had cost a million to build in 1929 were selling, in 1932, for $50,000, the membership at Cypress Point dwindling to a list of thirty-three names, and those few who were able to pay the groundskeepers could do so only because Morse forgave the debt of $150,000 still owed on the purchase of the property. It wasn't until 1947 that prospects began to improve. In the same year that I first consulted the oracle better known as Turk, Bing Crosby was persuaded to move his annual golf tournament to Pebble Beach, and a new generation of Hollywood celebrity began to drift north into the "circle of enchantment."
Pleased to welcome the return of the good news and the soft money, Morse lived long enough to see the development of the peninsula proceed along the lines that he had drawn in the sand in 1919. Always less concerned with a quick profit than with the long-term loveliness of the landscape, he stubbornly resisted the lure of cut-rate real estate deals even during the worst days of the Depression, and if the seacoast between Pacific Grove and Carmel Bay has retained its dreamlike form for nearly one hundred years, the marvel is a testament to Morse's foresight and intransigence. He died in 1969, at the age of eighty-four, and in one of his last years I remember seeing him seated on the terrace of the Cypress Point Club, a hearty and still vigorous figure with a strong drink in his hand who never tired of saying that property values were going nowhere but up, that the world was full of millionaire vulgarians and always ready for another "Big Bonanza." In the meantime, he ruled over Del Monte Properties with the hauteur of a medieval duke, granting easements and settling disputes about the flow of water rights, refusing to sell houses (even at double the asking price) to people whom he judged to be the wrong sort, reserving a good percentage of his fief to the use of animals and birds, setting the green fee for a round at Pebble Beach at the sum of thirty dollars in the early sixties. He was a poor golfer but proud of the course, which he prized as a national monument that deserved to be seen by an admiring public.
Since Morse's death, what was once the Rancho el Pescadero has passed into the realm of corporate management, sold to 20th Century Fox in 1979, to a Japanese bank in 1992 and, most recently--in 1999 for $820 million--to a consortium of investors including Arnold Palmer and Clint Eastwood. As Morse foresaw, prices have floated upward with the bubbles of prosperity; the champagne is more expensive, the first tee more difficult to reach. The cost of playing the eighteen holes at Pebble Beach is now three hundred dollars, a starting time advisably booked well in advance, the journey around the course accomplished in six hours instead of three.
But if the well-dressed names have changed (Crosby's tournament now sponsored by AT&T, celebrity sightings of Charles Schwab and Kevin Costner in place of Bob Hope and Lefty O'Doule), the character of the place remains much as it was in the winter of 1947--the playground that a "flaunting caravanserai" can easily mistake for Eden, deer browsing in the forest and whales basking in the sea, early-morning fog gathering the sunlight ("as is usually the case here") into a mist of Spanish silver, every speculation in the next golf shot (short iron or long putt) certain to redeem the promissory note of par.

The only problem is that it can be tough to find... especially as you get farther outside the Loop.
So you can imagine our interest when we received a tip from a reader about a new restaurant opening on Market Street. Called Schilleci's New Orleans Kitchen, it's a family-run restaurant located on Market Street in the shadow of the Avia Hotel.
Wait a minute. Family run? On Market Street? The place where the new Tiffany's just opened, and Tommy Bahama's is inexplicably busy all the time?
It's true. The Schilleci family has opened this intimate, elegant French Quarter-style restaurant on Market Street. The family had operated a small carry-out cajun cafe in Spring, but when their lease ran out, they decided to head north to the Woodlands to open a full-service restaurant. Market Street is truly becoming the culinary capital of Montgomery County.
The restaurant is strategically located by both the Avia Hotel and the parking garage. So unlike just about every other restaurant on Market Street, parking should be plentiful and nearby.
We visited Schilleci's for a late lunch on their first day in business, and met most of the family. Wayne Schilleci, Sr is the patriarch of the family; he and his wife Debbie were overseeing the bright, airy dining room from a strategic location in the corner. Wayne Sr was also talking with every customer, soliciting feedback and displaying the type of humility that's rare in the restaurant business. Their son Zach was overseeing the front of the house, welcoming each guest and coordinating the operation of the very new waitstaff. Wayne Jr is the chef, and was putting his kitchen staff through their paces - in this brand-new restaurant, many of the cooks had never worked together before, and had to learn to coordinate their efforts.
The Schilleci Family: Debbie, Wayne Sr, Zachary, Wendy, Wayne Jr |
But how is the food? We know it's not fair to pass judgement on a restaurant's cuisine on its first day, but we want to pass along our initial impressions. We sampled a couple of New Orleans classics: Jambalaya and Seafood Gumbo.
First, the Jambalaya. Our cup was overflowing with chunks of soulful, coarse-grained Andouille sausage and thick slices of spicy Italian sausage. Completing the dish was some beautiful saffron-colored rice, seasoned with peppers, onions, and a hint of celery. The heat level was moderate, starting deceptively slowly and building up to a nice controlled burn. The heat was masterfully balanced with the savory flavors in the dish, something that's all to rare in Cajun cooking.
Next up was the gumbo. We sampled Schilleci's seafood gumbo, a sharp, spicy roux packed with plenty of nicely-sized gulf shrimp and lump crabmeat. The roux had a simmering, balanced heat, and the onion, pepper, and okra flavors melded to create an exceptional background for the fresh seafood.
We love gumbo, and Schilleci's may be the best gumbo we've had in Texas. We were particularly impressed that we didn't have to kick up the roux with a few drops of Tabasco - Chef Wayne is not afraid to season his gumbo, and deftly walked the line between too bland and too hot.
Wayne Schilleci Jr and Zach Schilleci |
We predict that Schilleci's will be a big success; it's a totally different dining option for Woodlands residents, and the restaurant is overflowing with the type of warmth that only comes from a family-run establishment.

Adidas has been fairly quiet on the trainers department, but the brand is coming back with some new running shoes with the Adidas Mega TORSION Flex Easy Run.
First thing to note about the Adidas Mega TORSION Flex Easy Run is that the design is modeled after the brand's Originals design. It has the simple classic low-top, which is stylish for the streets and the track. What's different is the material. For athletic purposes, the upper is now constructed with a breathable mesh for flexibility and breathability. Then there's the addition of the TORSION system designed for midfoot integrity. The sole has been modified for flexibility purposes with a design similar to Reebok's Realflex and Nike's Free+ models.
The runners are available in red and black.

Folger Education is a strong advocate for performance-based teaching, a powerful teaching approach that's represented throughout our programs, resources, and publications. We've found that performance-based teaching can be effective with all kinds of students at every grade level. The crucial element of performance often makes a connection that traditional teaching methods may not.
But what do we mean by performance-based teaching?
Here's our definition:
Performance-based teaching is...
an interactive approach to the study of literature, particularly Shakespeare's plays and poems, in which students participate in a close reading of text through intellectual, physical, and vocal engagement.
To see how we've applied that concept, explore the resources and programs at left. Then, why not give some of our ideas a try in your own classroom?
After all, the play's the thing!

Kik, a new chat application for smartphones that is quicker and more social than SMS, is showing impressive viral uptake. The company says it has registered 450,000 downloads in the first 10 days since going live.
And the uptake appears to be accelerating. It saw 150,000 new users in just 15 hours yesterday, chief executive Ted Livingston told me today, and the company is doing everything it can to manage the load. "We're just focusing on the servers," he said this morning after temporarily freezing new downloads. See chart below for the growth pattern.
Kik has some notable technology under the hood; more on that in a sec.
First, here's how the app works: Once you download the application (Kik supports the iPhone, Android and Blackberry/RIM), it checks your address book and recommends the friends and other contacts you are likely to know who already have downloaded Kik. You can then start chatting with them immediately. Like IM, it's asynchronous, meaning it lets you see messages immediately, including when the person you're chatting with is typing. Additionally, it lets you know when they've actually read their message.
I tried downloading it this morning, and it worked great. It was aggressive in pulling in all the contacts I "may" know. I didn't recognize everyone it pulled. But this wasn't really too bad, because they were only suggestions. The only people actually added to my address book in Kik were the people I messaged.

Comment thread HERE
Moving, just keep moving, Till I don't know what's sane, I've been moving so long, The days all feel the same,
I've grown up... really I have.
The good Droidy and I have become home owners... or more correctly, mortgage repayment monkeys.
We're now struggling with having about 4 times as much space as our old apartment had. Where do hang about...? what is the designated area for anything...? Combine this with lack of internet, due to fuck ups with our ISP... we're both sort of lost at the moment.
It is getting there though, we have a friend staying with us (RSO's own LumpyTraumaOverlord) utilising the close proximity to work... and the lift he gets to work. His Xbox360 plus our new HD LCD TV has been getting a workout in our 'net less state.
Needless to say work on the new rantspace setup has stalled, but we're working through the ideas at this time... any thoughts you have on what you'd like to see on RSO let me know.
I'll take some pics of house when it's clean(ish).
Comments are still off.... so go sign up for the forums and comment in this thread
Turn and face the spam.... ch-ch-changes....
MoveableType is now basically crapped out at trying to handle the spam, well to be honest I have had enough.
This week I'll be transfering over to something else, so try keep posts/comments to a minimum until then. Actually just comment on this post about anything...
Comments are off... that is for all of the rantspace sites.
UPDATE UPDATE go over here to our temp forums to chat it up
We'll be there when we get there..... Now, SHUT UP.

Music Execs Find New Target
The hearing marked the third time in a year that Congress took a look at the rapidly evolving world of digital music. But unlike previous hearings, Thursday's session in front of the House Judiciary Committee's Internet and intellectual property subcommittee did not pit music-industry executives against online music sites like Napster.
Napster, which drew industry lawsuits and charges of piracy for its royalty-free system, has seen its popularity plunge in the wake of a March court ruling that forced it to block copyrighted songs from being traded.
Meanwhile, the five largest music companies have developed distribution systems of their own.
Thursday's hearing focused on a dispute between songwriters and publishers, who own music rights, and the record companies and online services that need their permission in order to distribute their music.
"Music publishing issues stand out as the most significant potential impediment to launching great subscription services," said RealNetworks Inc. CEO Rob Glaser, after giving a demonstration of MusicNet, the service being developed in conjunction with major music companies AOL Time Warner Bertelsmann AG and EMI Group Plc.
MP3.com president Robin Richards said his company faced an impossible task in individually securing permission from thousands of songwriters before making their material available on its My.MP3.com online music-storage system.
Richards called on Congress to enforce a flat, per-song royalty rate, a solution decried by country star Lyle Lovett as "government price-setting that should be repugnant to those who believe in the free market and the sanctity of private property, including intellectual property."
Lawmakers treated Richards' proposal with skepticism.
"We'd also like a guarantee of gasoline under two dollars a gallon," said Rep. Howard Berman, the committee's top Democrat.

Beautiful Silestone counters were installed. The seam is flawless, the edges by our posts are tight and clean. But. We have one end run of the countertop on which sits shelves (and to its right a pantry.) Somehow the installers only took their precise measurements to te beginning of the shelves--even though the shelves were sitting on top loose and the GC showed it to them so now the counters and cabinet shelves are installed (I don't know why GC didn't stop at that point) and there is a gap between the countertop and right wall of shelves. The microwave will sit inside there and the GC says he can put in molding to hide--I don't want a quartz mini backsplash as the installer/fabricator offered (same person/company). What do I do? Should I just put matching molding to avoid spills and then ask for a discount or something else? How much % would be fair. It was a substantial cost to us. |

Not sure what I'm looking at. Pull back and give some perspective and scale. But, scribe molding is often used on to the counter cabinets because of the differing thickness of stone or the waviness of the walls. It's not a big deal. If that fixes the issue, then no, you aren't due any discount at all. |

In our last home we had silestone. The guys cut it too short, and left a big gap at the wall on one long peninsula piece. We said, no thank you. They redid a new piece. In my current home, I got a big discount on cracked soapstone. Comparing the two situations, I'd much rather have it done right for the full price. discounts are nice, but I'll be living with "the crack" for decades. |

I also can't tell what I'm looking at in the picture ... are you shooting from above, looking down at the countertop? The white is the shelves? If so, that looks like a pretty big mistake. It might be easier to judge if you posted a picture showing the whole area as hollysprings suggested. |
Yes the pic is taken from above. I will take another picture in the morning when there is light--no electricity yet. Thanks very much. |
Don't let their mistake force you to accept something less than what you asked for! It was their measuring mistake and they need to make it right. |
Forget discount, have them redo it! It's their mistake. |
Here is a pic a little further back. The black part on the right is the part where there is a gap. Probably seen best on first picture. |
That's the counter under the open shelving cubbies? Really bad. They need to redo that. It's hard to see what's going on. Is it open beneath the counter against the wall too? Very expensive job & labor charges = fine workmanship in return! |
And here is a pic from a little further back. I need to ask the GC about any damage that might be caused by removing the shelf cabinet. |
Based on the location being hidden, I would put a piece of moulding there to cover the gap. It could make a bigger problem if they remove it. I noticed a gap in front of the cabinet right above the counter. That would bother me more. |
@corgimum:Filler still needs to be installed to the right front of the counter. |

Good grief! Whatever happened to craftsmen just taking responsibily for their mistakes and fixing them ON THEIR OWN without having to be asked, cajoled, coaxed, forced, etc. ...? What did your contractor have to say about it? I agree, allexx ... why didn't the contractor just stop at that point when he saw that big gap? Since he didn't, it now looks like a pretty big deal to fix it properly and would involve a lot more than just replacing the countertop. You may have to resort to a work-around if you aren't willing to go through that. That gap looks like it's going to require a fairly large piece of scribe moulding. I'd almost rather that they try to fabricate a slice of countertop material to be glued into the space ... at least then there wouldn't be an awkward piece of moulding sticking out into the space. Yes, it is kind of hidden back there unless you are standing at that countertop, but it might interfere with things that may be placed back there. |

If that were my counter I would probably ask for the entire thing to be redone, but if that were not possible, I would certainly want a significant discount on it. You paid for a properly fabricated and installed counter and that's not at all what you got. If you can live with a piece of trim, then get a discount, but I'm talking like 25% or more. At least that's what it would take for me to be OK with it. And Jellytoast, I completely agree with you. I can't believe that customers constantly have to fight for things that are clearly not correct. Where did pride in workmanship go anyway? |
