How does one deal with frustrating in-laws?
March 19, 2013 in Uncategorized
I have tried. I have really, really, REALLY made the effort to be the bigger person with my in-laws. Tried to do the right thing. Turned the other cheek and made excuses for the most self-involved, selfish and two-faced people you will ever meet.
My reward? Absolutely nothing. Then again, how naive must one be, to think that treating rude people with respect might get them to see sense? How silly of me to forget that people don't change. Not unless they actively want to.
I feel like an absolute fool. I let my guard down, let them in, was positive and friendly and even made a big effort with their gifts. The payback is a huge slap in the face as they get the last word (again). I don't know what I have done to deserve such a nasty sister-in-law. Judging by her behaviour I'd say it is something truly awful.
We decided to let MIL know about a situation last night. BIL (and more SIL to be accurate) are famous for making scenes when it suits them. They like to look like the victims in every case. We thought we'd let MIL in on what has been happening and a decision we have made. MIL politely pointed out that BIL never told them any of this. Obviously, he wouldn't – why would he let himself look bad in their eyes? MIL (who makes it her full-time job to meddle in business that isn't hers, who rants at us when SIL is too much of a chicken to ask us something directly, who stands up for BIL and SIL because they are the favourites said this: "I really don't have space on my plate for this." This from a woman who is so nosy she knows EVERYONE's business and makes SURE they know it. A woman who worships the ground her eldest son and daughter in law walk on but treats the youngest one and his wife as if they are nothing.
We didn't ask her to stand up for us or make a scene (we leave that to BIL and SIL). We just calmly explained what was going on so that she wasn't caught off guard later in the week when she sees them. Their version of the story will obviously be very different.
I don't know how other people deal with ghastly in-laws. Just wish I knew how to stop it from getting to me.
Any suggestions welcome.

Three years after Tales of Eternia showed up in North America, Tales of Symphonia arrived and managed to popularize the series in the west. Made for the RPG-starved GameCube, it sparked unheard of sales for the series in the west, and the game even wound up in Nintendo's Player's Choice collection.
Widely regarded as the best game in the series, Tales of Symphonia is a distant prequel to Tales of Phantasia, following the story of Lloyd Irving and his friends as they protect Colette, the Chosen of Mana who's destined to save the world. Symphonia deals with themes of racism, betrayal, idealism, and has plenty of twists and turns along the way.
Enjoy the month, everyone!

People, employers ready for work after retirement
By National Underwriter
National Underwriter
By Michael K. Stanley
Sixty percent of workers age 60 and up stated that they would look for new employment opportunities after retiring from their current company, up from 57 percent last year.
The findings are part of a "new normal" and the financial crisis that decimated many people's savings is not the only factor that can be blamed. As the switch was made from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans, there was, unsurprisingly, a learning curve. Many individuals did not have adequate savings before they were cut even lower by the financial crisis.
The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive on the behalf of CareerBuilder, polled 680 U.S. workers age 60 and older, and more than 2,600 hiring managers and human resources professionals during November of last year.
Of the respondents:
- 12 percent said that they don't think they will ever be able to retire;
- 27 percent said they plan on retiring in one to two years;
- 20 percent said they will retire in three to four years;
- 27 percent said they will retire in five to six years;
- 6 percent saying they will retire in seven to eight years;
- 5 percent said that they will be working for nine to 10 years, and
- 4 percent said they will be working for more than 10 years.
Employers reported that they are more likely to hire seasoned staff with 48 percent saying that they plan on hiring workers age 50 and up this year. Seventy-six percent of employers surveyed said they would consider an application from an overqualified worker who is 50-plus, with 59 percent saying mature candidates bring a wealth of knowledge to an organization and can mentor others.

Hublot sledge
A fusion of materials and futuristic design for a hi-tech concentrate, 100% Swiss.
After all, the sled is part of Swiss culture!
Today in Lausanne, Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver and Director of the Lausanne Cantonal Art School ECAL Pierre Keller, jointly unveiled the Hublot sled, an exclusive "Design Concept" of which only ten will be produced. Following on from the Hublot skis (developed with the Graubunden firm Zai) and the Hublot All Black Bike (developed with BMC), the Hublot sled joins these "sport engines", jewels of technology and design, in keeping with the image of Hublot watches.
True to the brand's cherished "Art of fusion" philosophy, the Hublot Sled is a concentrate of high technology, with ash wood for the structure, handsewn leather for the seat, carbon fiber for the handles and cast steel for the runners. in keeping with the principle of "Engineered Craft", these four materials were all handcrafted by high level craftsmen. The prototype was made in partnership with the Graf in Thurgau, based on "Roedel" a competition model. The result is a beautiful object, not only of incomparable design, but also fast, stable, maneuverable and solid, which will equally at home on the snowy slopes as in the living room of a fine chalet.
The Hublot Sled is the fruit of a collaboration between Hublot and the ECAL as part of the MAS-Luxe course (Master in Design and Luxury Industry at the Lausanne Cantonal Art School) of which Hublot has been one of the main sponsors since its creation. This one-year program created by Pierre Keller in 2008 is run by Augustin Scott de Martinville and offers training in design, in partnership with companies in the luxury sector. This particular project was completed by Philippe-Albert Lefebvre, a Québécois student in the 2009/2010 MAS-Luxe class, based on an original concept by Arno Mathies, a Swiss student from the 2008/2009 class currently studying at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London.
Hublot boss Jean-Claude Biver said he was "pleased by the birth of this sled developed with the ECAL, for on top of its remarkable and novel design, its performance qualities and toughness make it an outstanding sport engine!". ECAL director Pierre Keller declared: "By combining Hublot's cherished high precision, Graf's know-how and the creativity of the ECAL, we managed to come up with a totally unique design object." The Hublot Sled will be officially presented at the World Alpine Ski Chamionships at Garmisch Partenkirchen where Hublot is the official timekeeper. You can bet that the brand's ambassadors, champions Bode Miller and Maria Riesch, will test it. Crash helmets are strongly recommended!

The Boulder Acoustic Society brings 'Punchline' to Red Rocks
Plus revisiting the Beatles
Mike CoteTHE BOULDER ACOUSTIC SOCIETY Punchline (Nile Mile Records)
OK, so I eventually got around to playing the Boulder Acoustic Society's fine new album -- but I spent a lot of time playing with the packaging first. In the era of digital downloads and vanishing CDs, this young Americana band is bucking the trend with the kind of tactile novelty that collectors love. And if you have young kids expect to share: The casing for Punchline opens up into a stereoscopic 3-D viewer that works like a Viewmaster, complete with several slides of the band.
All that wouldn't amount to much if the music tucked inside the bottom of your new toy didn't live up to that sense of whimsy and magic. Now a foursome following the departure of guitarist Brad Jones, the Boulder Acoustic Society continues exploring gypsy tunes ("We Tried," "Frog Pajama Waltz"), folk ballads ("Until Then," "Take My Hand"), light-hearted pop ("A Life for Two") and the kind of gospel-laced roots music that recalls the Band ("I Feel Like I've Seen You Before"). While bass player Aaron Keim adds guitar and other string instruments to the mix, the emphasis is on Kailin Young's violin and Scott McCormick's accordion and piano. All four members (rounded out by drummer Scott Aller) sing so the vocal chair gets plenty of movement throughout this adventurous collection of songs.
You can catch the Boulder Acoustic Society on Saturday at the Monolith Festival at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. But the band plays frequently around Denver so if you're not the festival type (hint: my twenty-something sons will be hanging out there), look for these guys at your local club.
THE BEATLES Help! and Rubber Soul (Capitol)
More than 20 years after the Beatles' catalog was released on compact disc, it finally gets a sonic upgrade. When the 14 albums went on sale Wednesday -- coinciding with The Beatles Rock Band video game -- I plucked two of the band's mid-period back-to-back classics from 1965. If you want to hear what difference the remastering job made, check out the hard-rocking "Ticket to Ride" and the gentle acoustic "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" from Help! -- you'll be sure you got your money's worth. Compression technology makes for louder discs, but you won't notice the loss of any subtleties. They sounded powerful and contemporary even in my cursed factory-issue car stereo system.
The UK version of Help! was originally seven movie soundtrack cuts and an LP side's worth of other material. So Rubber Soul, the band's next disc, would mark its first true classic. "Drive My Car," "Norwegian Wood," "In My Life" and "Girl" never sounded better, especially the flourishes of tamborine and other percussion. It's an odd mix of modern technology meets old-fashioned stereo separation. The remasters are available as individual discs (with limited edition packaging) or in stereo and mono boxed sets, and each comes with a CD-ROM mini-documentary about the album.

Gabrielle is at once a classical romance, in which outside forces keep two lovers apart, as well as the specific account of the hurdles two grown-up but disabled individuals in love must face. Despite a slightly grating tendency to resist any kind of subtlety, the honest and convincingly played central romance does finally linger. Delightful newcomer Gabrielle Marion-Rivard, who actually has Williams syndrome and plays a semi-autobiographical role, is a natural and superb theatre actor Alexandre Landry, who plays her lover, is equally beguiling.
Spontaneous 22-year-old Gabrielle (Marion-Rivard) not only has Williams syndrome, a developmental disorder that makes people overly sociable, among other things, but is a diabetic, though she's also blessed with absolute pitch. She spends a lot of time with her older sister, Sophie (Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin), who hasn't dared tell Gabrielle that she's about to move to India to join her boyfriend (Sébastien Ricard), who works in a school there.
Gabrielle's favorite pastime is choir practice at a Montreal community center for disabled people run by the kind Laurent (Benoït Gouin), and the group's preparing to perform with the famous Quebec singer Robert Charlebois at a music festival (which will provide the film's grand outdoor finale that Archambault doesn't quite have the skills to handle).
The group's lead male singer is the handsome, 25-year-old Martin (Landry) and Gabrielle and Martin are both clearly into each other, much to the consternation of especially Martin's mother (Marie Gignac). In an impressively imagined scene, she outright dismisses any possibility of the couple, who are in their 20s, ever having sex or moving in together, suggesting parents of disabled children might be so used to protecting their offspring that they sometimes forget they are adults, too.
Archambault beautifully shows both the growing attachment of Gabrielle and Martin as well as the myriad problems they face. A scene in which Sophie and her and Gabrielle's mom (Isabelle Vincent) discuss parental responsibility is especially insightful, suggesting there is no single right way to do anything and assigning blame is useless.
It's a shame, then, that some elements are so blunt. The use of lyrics to convey plot points or emotions is so obsessive that the name of Sophie's character seems to have been chosen just because it fits with the lyrics of a particular song. Charlebois' signature tune, "Ordinaire" ("I'm just an ordinary guy"), similarly feels like a heavy-handed choice for a handicapped-singers choir. The impression that almost all non-disabled, First World citizens seem innate do-gooders who try to help those less fortunate also feels somewhat unrealistic.
Cinematographer Mathieu Laverdiere's camera grows more restless where necessary, like when Gabrielle is lost, and Archambault shows good directorial instincts in a scene in which the two lovers kiss at a dance and the sound suddenly drops out entirely, reinforcing the sense they are entirely alone and in the moment.
The frankness with which the film shows Gabrielle and Martin's physical attraction could also generate some debate, though even those who might consider it voyeuristic or exploitative will have to admit that the arguments in favor of the couple's love affair are greatly aided by the entirely natural depiction of the duo's attraction.

So, for the cover I was thinking "fear". What are the two things you are most afraid of attacking this building right now? A small space ship firing a pretty standard laser, that's scary, right? But what, get this, if it came with a friend? A giant legionary's sword! If that cut into your building you'd defecate yourself right there and then!
12 Responses to "Operation Damocles"
SI Says:
September 1st, 2009 at 10:22 amI really don't understand what is going on here.
Is the sword a symbol of the lasers power?
Is damcoles a Latin thing? Hence the roman style sword?
My brain hurts.
Roses Says:
September 1st, 2009 at 11:35 amI suspect the 'ultimate weapon in the wrong hands' was actually the canvas of the person who designed the cover.
I think I'm insulted that they had to include the sword. I get the satellite and it's laser attacking the White House. The sword with 'Damocles' written on it assumes the reader of this book is an idiot.
In which case, I'll pass on reading the book.
CSA Says:
September 1st, 2009 at 1:02 pmhmm, im not sure i understand… are you saying that at no point in the story does a 100m tall sword crash into a building that looks vaguely like the White House?
Ahhh my brain! Me no understand
Bryce Says:
September 1st, 2009 at 2:28 pmThe cover is a picture knife sitting on top of a picture of a satellite shooting at (and being flung toward) the white-houseish building. Notice the shadow. Why the owner of the knife would leave it on top of that picture is beyond me.
Roses Says:
September 1st, 2009 at 2:30 pmWell, if the book follows a traditional story arc…I'd say you can expect 100m tall sword to appear round about Chapter 8.
If you make it that far…
CSA Says:
September 1st, 2009 at 3:03 pmThe shadow on the sword is quite confusing. It looks like the laser thing is about to crash into it.
Are they proper chapters or those tiny chapters with only 4 pages that have become increasingly more popular over the years? I bet they're tiny
little mi Says:
September 1st, 2009 at 4:20 pmI'm with Bryce, the knife is ment to be on top of the picture of the laser shooting the building. I am assuming that this is ment to create a kind of 3D feel or something though mostly it just looks foolish.
I took me a couple of looks to realise that the Operation at the top had any connection at all to the Damocles on the knife. In a rather silly moment I just thought they'd randomly decided to right Damocles on the blade in rubbish font.
JustinLeego Says:
September 2nd, 2009 at 9:26 amAlthough on closer inspection, the sword is slightly opaque. Combined with the drop shadowing, this means we are looking at a highly customised mouse pointer.
Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:
December 12th, 2012 at 10:59 pm'What's a killer satellite look like then?'
'A what?'
'You know…a satellite you'd use to shoot a laser at the White House or something.'
'Dunno. But, would you feast your eyes on this thing! My kid bashed it together with some model jet turbines and some cooling panels.'
Incidentally, if you're reading the book and you skip a page, does Oscar L. Fellows' nose light up?
Jaouad Says:
December 13th, 2012 at 10:07 amStop blathering about that sword. I'm surprised nobody has said anything at all about the huge blue planet in the background, hanging over the White House like a, er… sword of Damocles.
Tom Noir Says:
December 13th, 2012 at 2:38 pmWhat I like about this cover is, it's so subtle.
PLUS, the White House is now in SPACE!
A.R.Yngve Says:
December 17th, 2012 at 8:07 amOil is to water like subtlety is to Baen book covers.

SOUTH BURLINGTON The South Burlington City Council has fired its city manager two weeks after putting him on administrative leave. The council said in a statement Tuesday that Sanford Sandy Millers aggressive and confrontational style was among the reasons for his dismissal. The council made its decision Monday.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Millers attorney, Scott Cameron, calls the councils explanation disappointing. He said the council made Miller the scapegoat for its own poor decisions.
The councilors said they doubt Millers commitment to carry out council decisions with which he disagrees.
Miller previously was city manager in Milton but left in 2009 after a falling out with the Select Board over contract negotiations.
He said Tuesday the council did not have just cause to dismiss him.MORE IN Vermont NewsPolice: Man robbed Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont House passed a bill Tuesday to ban microbeads, the tiny plastic spheres...

Where is the section that details the punishment for the crimes these players committed? Where does it say that they (CEO's) have to return the bonus's they stole on their way out? |

This bailout bill says NOTHING about what these executives and fat cats will make in SALARY. According to Rep. Brad Sherman of California, these top managers will continue to receive million-dollar-a-month paychecks under this new bill. There is no direct ownership given to the American people for the money being handed over. Foreign banks and investors will be allowed to receive billion-dollar handouts. A large chunk of this $700 billion is going to be given directly to Chinese and Middle Eastern banks. There is NO guarantee of ever seeing that money again. |

In addition, HOW do they expect to enforce this...as the SEC did have some regs it was to follow, and it has now been determined that they did not do so...which contributed to this fiasco. What are the penalties for the regulatory authorities who turn the other way when they see violations??? |

"What are the penalties for the regulatory authorities who turn the other way when they see violations???" GOOD QUESTION. I'd love to be on the committee that decides what punishment should fit this particular crime. |
watch this video and then decide on who needs regulation. We put our house on the market two weeks and now I think we're crazy to even try. |
Here is a link that might be useful: worth the time to watch
A good portion of the info on the video is true………however, it is very slanted politically. There is plenty of blame to go around on both sides…..such as McCain's economic advisor and who was a possible contender for his pick as Treasury Secy (until he called us a nation of whiners) Sen Phil Gramm, a key architect of the Enron loophole which pretty much exempts energy speculators who make trades electronically from US regulation....and which was drafted by Enron lobbyists working with Gramm (and Gramm's wife, at the time CFTC (U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission) head, who "conveniently" joined Enron shortly thereafter. The first Bush (Sr.) approved it..and Clinton signed it. Nice bi-partisan work...LOL! It allowed for a new kind of derivative security, the single-stock future that had been forbidden since '82...just like his Gramm Leach Bliley Act got rid of Glass Steagall which was put in place after the '29 crash to prevent it from happening again. Now we can all see what great ideas they were...we can thank him for our energy prices going through the roof, as well as in part for the current Wall St. meltdown. In addition, he is an exec with UBS...and they have also billions of dollars in write-downs due to sub-prime exposure...read here for an overview: http://www.slate.com/id/2194933/ Bottom line? IMO..so much money was involved here that one would be hard pressed to find a politician that did or does not have his hand in the cookie jar somehow, some way. For some eye openers on the Enron loophole see the video at the below URL: |

"Bottom line? IMO..so much money was involved here that one would be hard pressed to find a politician that did or does not have his hand in the cookie jar somehow, some way." Here are a few more folks who have made out handsomely at the communal 'cookie jar'. Namely, Henry Paulson and his close circle of friends... Who is Henry Paulson? The plan to rescue the US financial industry arrogates virtually unlimited money and power over the financial affairs of the state to the office of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Paulson is a figure with a long history of intimate connections to the political and financial elite. In 1970, fresh from the Masters program of the Harvard Business School, Paulson entered the Nixon administration, working first as staff assistant to the assistant secretary of defense. In 1972-73, Paulson worked as office assistant to John Erlichman, assistant to the president for domestic affairs. Erlichman was one of the key figures involved in organizing President Richard Nixon's notorious plumbers' unit that carried out illegal covert operations against the president's political opponents, including espionage, blackmail, and revenge. Ehlichman resigned in 1973, and in 1975 he was convicted of obstruction of justice, perjury, and conspiracy, and was imprisoned for 18 months. Utilizing his connections, Paulson went to work for Goldman Sachs in 1974. In a 2007 feature, the British newspaper the Guardian wrote, Not only was he well connected enough to get the job [in the Nixon White House], but well connected enough to resign in the thick of the Watergate scandal without ever getting caught up in the fallout. He went straight to Goldman back home in Illinois.... www.wsws.org/articles/2008/sep2008/paul-s23.shtml |

Whirlpool Corp.'s latest product adds a new wrinkle to an old, oft-dreaded household task-ironing. The company plans to introduce the Fabric Freshener, at the 2005 International Builders' Show in Orlando, FL, U.S. Similar in function to Whirlpool's larger, more expensive Personal Valet, the Fabric Freshener is a portable electric appliance that uses steam and heat to remove wrinkles and odors from clothing made from wool, cotton, silk, rayon, polyester, and other common fabrics. The Fabric Freshener is to go on sale May 1, 2005 at a suggested retail price of U.S. $219 -- less than one-fifth the $1,199 cost of the armoire-sized Personal Valet, which the company plans to continue marketing. Whirlpool says the Fabric Freshener is the first such portable product of its kind. For its first 3 months on the market, the Fabric Freshener will be available only at Best Buy stores and at Whirlpool.com, making it the first Whirlpool-branded product to be sold by the company directly to consumers. Whirlpool Corp. sells other brands online, including its Gladiator GarageWorks modular storage system for garages and its KitchenAid countertop appliances, cookware, baking pans, and cutlery. Designers and engineers at the Benton Harbor-based appliance maker started creating the Fabric Freshener about 2 years ago, said Laura Hall, Whirlpool brand manager. "We developed this from the ground up," she said. The bluish-gray machine resembles an oversized garment bag when in use and collapses down to about the size of a canister vacuum. It can treat one or two articles of clothing at a time using only tap water; no chemicals are needed, nor can they be added. "With a product like this, it helps to extend the life of your clothing," said Audrey Reed-Granger, a Whirlpool brand spokeswoman. To operate the unit, wrinkled clothes are placed inside the bag, a plastic cup in the base is filled with water, the bag is zipped up and the "start" button is pushed. Each cycle begins with a steaming process, followed by a drying cycle and a cooling-down period. The average cycle time is about 30 min. Whirlpool officials expect many buyers to be business executives looking for a way to avoid doing most of their ironing. While the Fabric Freshener cannot press a crease into a shirt sleeve or pant leg, it can eliminate most wrinkles in clothes for a "casually pressed" look, Ms. Hall said. The device is particularly effective on sweaters and wool suits and safe for dry clean-only clothing and hand washables, she added. Unstained and unsoiled clothes often are taken to dry cleaning shops to have wrinkles and stale smells removed. Diane Ritchey, editor of Home Appliance magazine, a publication for consumers, said the Fabric Freshener continues a laundry-product trend that also includes Maytag Corp.'s Neptune Drying Center. Introduced in September 2003 by Newton, IA, U.S. Maytag, it pairs a traditional tumble dryer with an upper drying cabinet that further refreshes clothes. "That's been a really big hit for them," she said. Ms. Ritchey said consumers always are looking for affordable appliances that would make their lives easier, so she expects the Fabric Freshener to be a success -- once people have grown accustomed to the idea. "I can see consumers seeing the benefit of it eventually," she said. "When a new appliance heads our way and it's really kind of trendy, we tend not to jump on it as quickly as manufacturers, I think, would like. "But once we do catch on, they usually are pretty big hits. It could potentially be a very nice appliance for people." (AP, Detroit Free Press)

Thanks for taking the time to answer questions - the past few days of reading this has proved to be quite informative. I've picked up pieces from different responses that would pertain to me, but not all in one answer, so I figured I would give this a shot. I am sleeping on a 10-year olf King Koil that I am looking to replace. It was bought from a Jordan's furniture for about $550, but I am not sure what the exact model is. I find it very comfortable, even to this day, but I know the end is near. I'm about 6'2 200 with no real health concerns. I do occasionally sleep at my g/f's place, but I can't stand her mattress. It is a fairly new Simmons Beautyrest pillow-top. I wake up sore each night, while that is a rare occurence with mine. I'm looking for a king without a real budget restraint - I'm willing to throw in extra to ensure a good sleep and long life of the mattress. Any recommendations for brand, etc? I'd like to test a few and come back to you for pricing/purchase. Thanks in advance!
Hi John,
$550 for KK that is still good after 10 years. I can't help but feel that no matter what you do, you will be disappointed. Years ago, and for many years, if you were spending $50 a year on average, you were doing fine. You got what was common, in terms of "your money's worth". Mattresses aren't made to last that long any more...only one-side, and you've tripled your average cost per year to boot.
You already know what it's like to sleep on a pillowtop. If you go to any mattress store, you'll see a sea of pillowtops. Women are targeted for this purchase. In an average home, with a man and woman, it's the woman who decides about the mattress...by and large.
With no offense intended to our fairer counterparts, "It's a girly bed"....not really suitable for a big man. Given how many complaints are registered about pillowtops, they aren't a good value for anyone. But, they look and feel very inviting. It's a pity that their comfort doesn't usually last and that the asthetics of them is covered by your bedding.
Anyway, unless you've experienced some sort of "Rapture" pointing the way to the "End of Days", I wouldn't go shopping for that mattress until it becomes necessary.
Pretty soon, we will have two-sided mattress available. I designed them, myself. They are very well made. With these, there will be NO disappointment in performance.

Kathy. Lady Bugs will do the trick..lol Instead of poison, why not try Yellow Sticky Traps? Online garden centers/nurseries and Ebay sell Yellow Sticky Traps. Toni |
Hi Kathy...is the pesticide you have manufactured especially for indoor container plants? If not, I wouldn't use it at all. If so, you can call the 1.800 number on the label for some further information about your plant. In the meantime, have you tried a rubbing alcohol and water mist? I've never used it on Calathea in particular, but I can say that an alcohol solution is very effective at killing aphids. One part alcohol to three parts water (or stronger), applied to the entire plant with a misting sprayer. If you've not tried it, do a leaf test first. Since aphids reproduce so rapidly, you'll need to spray three or four times a few days apart to make sure that you've done away with any stragglers late hatches. They reproduce parthenogenetically, as well as the old fashioned way....so you have to get them ALL. Not too difficult, really, since they are such fragile soft-bodied insects. |

"Very very good. It made 2 pan fulls for me. Nice flavor. I added a bread crumb crust to the second one."
"Very very good!"
"Good recipe. Next time I think I'll add some other spices though. It was a little bland for my tastes."
"Good bread. I was looking for something different and this worked well. I found the bread kinda dry though. Maybe I'll do something different next time. I wasn't sure what you meant in step 1 with "cream butter," does that mean stir?"
"These were interesting. They were too moist at first, but then I put them on the waffle iron (the flat side) and they did great. The recipe makes a lot of pancakes though. Next time I'll half it. Really good flavor. I'll be making these again. Maybe with whole wheat flour next time."
"Very good. Not too sweet. Moist and flavorful. My dad loved it! The glaze made it."
"It was good, but I didn't think was great. My sister said, "It wasn't good and it wasn't bad.""
"My mom and I make this all the time. It is cool to see the recipe here. Only things we do different are to boil the cabbage and onion together. I also add cooked carrots and use seasoned bread crumbs for a little flavor. The cheese can just be put on top before the bread crumbs and it gets mixed in when you eat it. Very good."
"Really good. I generally hate tomato soup type dishes, so that is a great compliment. I did some things differently. I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned, condensed soup and water instead of juice, fresh basil instead of bay leaves, and added red pepper and celery seeds. I didn't need to add salt or pepper. I sprinkled cheese on the top too. Th..."
"Really really great! This is a keeper. If I could give it more stars, then I would. I had no idea what to do with these banana peppers that I had and this was perfect. The whole family loved it. I used Mozzarella cheese and some garlic dill cheddar I had to stuff them. It stayed in the peppers very well. I used a garlic flavored spaghetti sauce. T..."

Dance images by Lois Greenfield have become almost a yardstick for this kind of photography. Many try but not all succeed. The calendar offers two striking images from her very wide collection.
Flipper Hope, Jack Gallagher, Daniel Ezralow, Ashley Roland
When people see her work for the first time, an inevitable comment is often made. There are bodies weightless in mid-air, inverted, contorted and flying in astounding constellations. Years ago the comment would have been something like "It's clever to be able to hide all the wires holding up the dancers" or something similar. In our digital age, of course, the comment would be a veiled admiration for the level of fidelity that Photoshop can achieve. The odd thing is, both comments would be wrong in this case. Lois Greenfield produces astonishing pictures of dancers doing seemingly impossible things: period. That is to say the dancers are doing seemingly impossible things while Lois directs and captures the fleeting seconds. There are no wires and there is no digital trickery.
Mia McSwaiin
Considering the nature of images, it would be forgivable to assume that Lois grew up on a diet of dance images, analysing and dissecting the work of the many dance photographers that have gone before. But not so exactly. The photographer that Lois names as a leading source of inspiration is in fact Sebastiao Salgado, the award winning photojournalist. When still at college studying anthropology, Lois became involved with photojournalism and set off to document other cultures in the third world. It was photography and travel writing that allowed her to follow these anthropological pursuits for a while. Back home in New York, rock and roll and the counter culture became subjects for her photography working for the Village Voice and finally, of course, dance.
For the last twenty years or so, the name Lois Greenfield has become synonymous with this unique style and she has created a whole world around it. She has a list of very highly trained and capable dancers that she calls on to produce the impossible. Needless to say, these photo sessions can occasionally be hard on the dancers, as some of the things they attempt to do are not completely riskfree! The pictures are not from performances in the theatre but are creations in her photographic studio in New York directed by Lois. She photographs 'the spirit of dance', not 'dance', as she points out and therefore doesn't see herself as a 'dance photographer' in the normal sense at all.
Ha-Chi Yu, Sham Mosher, Sham Mosher, Andrew Pacho Lois has two monographs to her name, a long list of one-woman exhibitions and group exhibitions that have appeared around the world. You can find her heading workshops and giving lectures, she writes articles and other people write articles about her and her work. If you've managed to miss all of this you might have seen her commercial work under the headings of IBM, Kodak, Pepsi, Toshiba or appearing in Elle, Life, Vanity Fair and Vogue to name only a few!
For a taste of this speciality, take a look at Lois Greenfield´s website. There you will find the gamut of Lois' work covering sports shots, theatrical work, TV commercials, fashion shots and a good deal else. It is fairly obvious to see why Lois Greenfield was chosen as a Hasselblad Master.

text: Incident Update: The suspect was arrested February 24, 2008. As of February 13, 2008 - Suspect still at large; at 8:18am, Wednesday, February 13, 2008, a resident of the 18700 block of Rose Way, West Linn reported his green 1993 Volkswagen Jetta, 4-door sedan, stolen from his driveway. The VW license is ZYC -695 (OR). The keys were in the vehicle at the time of the theft. This address is located two blocks from the 7 -11 store and it is believed DETRICK may have been involved in this car theft. On Tuesday, February 12, 2008, at 5:09 pm Officers Jason Dolan and Patr ick McConnell were on routine patrol when they saw an older Ford Mustang. They checked the license plate and learned the car did not have valid insurance. The driver then made a turn without signaling onto I -205 north from 10th Street. Officer McConnell was driving and signaled the Mustang to stop. The driver of the car then accelerated rapidly onto the freeway with the officers in pursuit. The Mustang took the Hwy 43 / West Linn exit and attempted to turn right at the bottom of the ramp. They failed to negotiate the turn and the Mustang drifted across the road, jumped the curb, and plunged down the embankment. The officers began to surround the car as the occupants fled. Officers from West Linn, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, the Oregon State Police and a K -9 from Clackamas County Sheriff's Office responded to assist. The two passengers in the car were detained for a short time. During the search citizens called in numerous sightings. Despite the assistance from nearly a dozen officers, the driver, Sean Ivan DETRICK, age 36, of SE Portland, avoided capture. DETRICK has an outstanding warrant for unauthorized use of a Vehicle (UUV) with caution indicators due to prior arrests for eluding police and weapons charges. If anyone sees this subject, they are asked to contact the West Linn Police. On Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 10:20 pm, the West Linn Police Department received a report of a suspicious male at the local 7 -11 Store, located at 19100 Willamette Drive. Responding officers viewed the in store video and confirmed the subject was Sean Ivan DETRICK, the suspect in an earlier elude. Officers conducted a thorough search of the area and were unable to locate DETRICK.

If you like the itinerary below please quote REF CHINA 943 when enquiring for further details.
Alternatively you may like modify this trip with your own Holiday Wish List
Welcome to Urumqi, in Xianjiang, a massive province which shares borders with eight countries! A number airlines service Urumqi and our tour starts at this point. Arrival transfer from airport to hotel.
Capital of Xinjiang, a largely desert and grassland province fringed by some of the highest mountains in the world, Urumqi sits amidst beautiful scenery, with the snow-clad Tian Shan range to the city's east. We enjoy an excursion to Tian Chi (Heaven Lake), located at an altitude of 2,000m among the Tian Shan Mountains. Later, fly west to Kashgar.
Kashgar's importance grew from its location as an oasis at the point where the northern and southern routes of the ancient Silk Road converged. See the Id Kah Mosque, Aba Khoja Mausoleum, where the local cemetery filled with distinctive mud and brick tombs is still used by the local Uighur peoples and the colourful Old Town.
A visit is made to Kashgar's local market with free time to explore. Later, a flight to Urumqi.
Enjoy an excursion to the southern mountain pastures before continuing by road to Turpan. Located on the northern Silk Road, Turpan is a rural Uighur settlement, descended from nomadic Siberian and Central Asian tribes who settled the region in the 9th century. Renowned for its grape production, you'll visit Putao Gou (Grape Valley).
We drive to Bezeklik past the Flaming Mountains which due to sun and shadow at certain times of the day seeming to flicker as though glowing poker-hot and visit the Bezeklik Caves which once formed part of a Buddhist monastery. Beyond here are the Astana tombs and the impressive ruins of Gaochang city. Tonight, enjoy a traditional show of song and dance.
Visit to Imin Ta (Imin Minaret) constructed in 1778, before heading beyond Turpan to the Jiaohe Ruins. Occupying a spectacular position on a steep plateau, the ancient street plan is still evident. A stop is also made at some 2,000-year-old Karez water channels, an irrigation system that many Silk Road cities and towns relied upon.
Arrive Liuyuan, and continue to remote Dunhuang, a small and strategically important desert oasis town on the Silk Road, a stone's throw from the end of the Great Wall. Visit Yueya Quan (Crescent Moon Lake), a small spring-fed lake surrounded by gigantic sand dunes, that has been a vital source of water here for millennia.
Visit perhaps Dunhuang's most famous attraction, the UNESCO-listed Mogao Caves. The colourful cave paintings which were the legacy of travelling pilgrim monks, merchants and nobles form the most fascinating repository of Buddhist art in China.
Enjoy a visit to Jiayuguan Fort at Jiayuguan Pass - the farthest outpost of the Great Wall which was built here by the Ming in 1372, over 5,000km from the wall's easternmost point at Shanhaiguan. Situated between striking mountain ranges, everything that travelled between central Asia and China had to file through the Jiayuguan Pass. We will transfer you to the airport for the flight from Jiayuguan to Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province and a former staging post on the Silk Road.
Enjoy a boat ride on the 5,487 km long Yellow River (2nd longest in China after the Yangtze) and a visit to Bingling Temple.
Flight from Lanzhou to Xi'an. Today enjoy a city tour, taking in the highlights of Xi'an, including the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Muslim Quarter, the Great Mosque and the medieval City Wall, which you can take a bike ride along.
Xi'an in Shaanxi Province is perhaps most famous for the discovery of Emperor Qin's Terracotta Warriors. Discovered in 1974 by local farmers digging a well, the 2,200 year old terracotta warriors comprise more than 7,000 life-sized soldiers which stand battle-ready in excavated pits under the cover of a modern protective hanger. Made of local clay, no two faces are alike – each is said to be an individual portrait. Today, visit Huanqing Hot Springs, a scenic spot in the shadow of Li Mountain, before continuing to a workshop where crafts people make replicas of the terracotta warriors. Then visit the archaeological site of the Terracotta Warriors.
This morning fly from Xi'an to Beijing, China's bustling capital city. Enjoy an excursion beyond Beijing to the legendary UNESCO-listed Great Wall at Badaling. Spanning rugged mountain ranges, lush green valleys and barren plains, it stretches as far as the eye can see - at least 6,700 kms. Continuing on, visit the tombs of the Ming emperors, where some 13 emperors were interred and a cloisonne workshop of decorative metal and enamel sculpture.
About 100km northwest of Lijiang in Yunnan province is where the Yangtze River's upper reaches, the Jingsha Jiang, channel with ...
