I have been making cakes since 2003. I have run into this all the time and I don't have one clue as to why I am just asking now for a possible solution to my common problem. I normally just deal with it and hate it every time. And no, I am not up for cutting my own boards...
This weekend, I had two orders for fondant cakes. Thankfully they were fondant...because of my cake board.
Sometimes - and I am sure it just depends on the brand that I am using because I sometimes by Sunshine Bakery, Wilton, some other store brand, or my local cake supply shop brand - the board for a 9" cake is JUST the same size as the baked cake with no room left around the edges for icing, or just a touch bigger than the baked cake leaving enough space for a thin layer of icing but the cake shows through, or some are so much bigger it's enough for almost 1/2" of icing all around. VERY RARELY do I find the right ones that have just the right amount of space all around for a nice coat of buttercream.
Anyone have a tried and true brand that leaves a nice amount of space to use as your icing guide?
Thanks and I hope I explained this correctly??!!

While washing dishes after the family supper tonight, I was listening, rather idly, to BBC Radio 4, some radio play or dramatization. And suddenly I heard, in passing, what struck me as a very apt description of life itself: "It felt intimate, surreal and meaningless, all at the same time." Postscript: Looked it up later; the line came from the dramatization of a story called "The Warrah," by Lucy Catherine. blog comments powered by Disqus |

Angel De Cora
Born | Hinook-Mahiwi-Kalinaka May 3, 1871 Thurston, Nebraska |
Died | February 6, 1919 Northampton, Massachusetts |
(aged 47)
Nationality | Ho-Chunk |
Known for | Painting & Illustration |
Movement | Tonalist |
Angel De Cora Dietz (1871–1919) was a Winnebago painter, illustrator, Native American rights advocate, and teacher at Carlisle Indian School. She was the best known Native American artist before World War I.[1]
Angel De Cora Dietz or Hinook-Mahiwi-Kalinaka (Fleecy Cloud Floating in Place), was born at the Winnebago Agency in Dakota County (now Thurston), Nebraska, on May 3, the daughter of David Tall Decora, a Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) of French ancestry and a son of the Little Decorah, a hereditary chief. Angel was born into the Thunderbird clan; her English and Ho-Chunk names were chosen by a relative who was asked to name her, opened the Bible, and the word "angel" caught her eye. Her mother was a member of the influential LaMere family.[2] [3] She was kidnapped at a young age from the Agency, and sent to school in Hampton, Virginia. "A strange white man appeared on the reservation and asked her, through an interpreter, if she would like to ride on a steam car; with six other children, she decided to try it, and when the ride was ended she found herself in Hampton. '(It was) three years later when I returned to my mother' says Angel De Cora. 'she told me that for months she wept and mourned for me. My father and the old chief and his wife had died, and with them the old Indian life was gone.'"[3]
De Cora studied at a local preparatory school in Hampton, Virginia, working for a local family.[3] Afterwards De Cora was educated at Burnham Classical School for Girls. She then studied art at Smith College. She studied specifically illustration at Drexel Institute (now Drexel University) and also studied at the Cowles Art School in Boston.[4]
De Cora was married to William Henry "Lone Star" Dietz (Wicarhpi Isnala), a man of Dakota and German descent, who also taught at the Carlisle Indian School. They met at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.[3] In addition to his art, Dietz was a notable football player, and in 1915 he became head coach of Washington State; he later was the first head coach of the Washington Redskins.
Towards the end of her career, De Cora and her husband taught art at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.[3] In her tonalist art work, Angel De Cora painted firelight to illuminate warm memories of her childhood life on the Nebraska plains after she settled far from home in the east".[5] Her oil Painting, "for an Indian school exhibit, for the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York"[6] demonstrates the technical prowess and emotional depth of her art.
De Cora created the title-page designs for Natalie Curtis's The Indians' Book, a collection of Native American songs, stories, and artwork first published in 1907.[7]
Unfortunately not much of De Cora's original paintings remain, but she illustrated her own stories published in Harper's Magazine and illustrated books. The 1911 Yellow Star: A Story of East West, by Elaine Goodale Eastman features illustrations by De Cora and her husband, William Henry Dietz. Her illustrations are rare for her time period because she portrayed Native Americans wearing contemporary clothing.
Angel De Cora contracted pneumonia, and she died in the Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton, Massachusetts on 6 February 1919. She is buried at the Bridge Street Cemetery.[8]

3Go to the dealership to buy your car with no haggle
Knowing that many SUV buyers would rather have sporty on-road dynamics than off-road prowess, Acura offers its RDX. This compact crossover blends sporty handling with the typical SUV traits of all-wheel drive and enhanced cargo capacity.
That said, the two generations of the RDX offer two distinct flavors. The first generation is more visceral and more involving to drive, while the second generation offers greater refinement and practicality that make it a stronger overall choice. Be it new or used, however, you'll get admirable Acura traits that either type of buyer can appreciate. One is a strong reputation for overall quality and reliability that should translate into years of trouble-free miles. Another is a generous standard features list.
Current Acura RDX
The Acura RDX is a small luxury crossover powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that provides 273 horsepower along with swift acceleration and respectable fuel economy. A six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive are standard, with all-wheel drive offered as an option.
Two trim levels are available: base and base with Technology package. Standard features include a rearview camera, a sunroof, keyless ignition and entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated power front seats (eight-way driver, four-way passenger), leather upholstery, Bluetooth phone connectivity and a seven-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio, an iPod/USB audio interface and an auxiliary audio jack. The Technology package adds amenities such as xenon headlights, a power liftgate, a navigation system (with real-time traffic and weather) and a surround-sound audio system.
In reviews, we've been impressed by the RDX's quick acceleration, relaxed highway cruising demeanor, precise steering and composed (if not quite as sharp as its stiff-riding forebear's) handling on curvy blacktop. We think this shift in focus serves the Acura RDX -- and the large majority of its potential owners -- quite well. However, a shortcoming is the RDX's lack of available electronic safety features. Amenities like adaptive cruise control, a collision-mitigation system, a lane-departure warning system and a blind-spot warning system are offered on rival models, but they aren't available on the RDX.
We've found the RDX's cabin to be both spacious and well-constructed. The overall layout is both attractive and easy to navigate. In front, the seats offer support on par with that of high-end German models, while the rear seats boast more legroom. The RDX's 26.1 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats is about average for the segment, but folding down the rear seats opens up a more generous 61.3 cubic feet of capacity.
Used Acura RDX Models
Redesigned for 2013, the current-generation Acura RDX is a more sensible crossover than its predecessor. Although just an inch taller and an inch longer than before, there's a bit more room for passengers and a lot more room for cargo. Better performance and fuel efficiency were other key improvements. A simpler, lighter all-wheel-drive setup replaced the previous "Super Handling All-Wheel Drive" system. Though SH-AWD undeniably aided athleticism, it will likely be missed only by a small percentage of hard-charging enthusiasts. Inside this RDX's stylish body is a cabin sporting more luxury features such as keyless ignition and entry and a power liftgate.
Produced from 2007-'12, the previous-generation Acura RDX was a compact luxury crossover SUV aimed squarely at driving enthusiasts looking for feisty performance and sharp handling. It came with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine making a strong 240 hp and 260 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed automatic transmission (with paddle shifters) was standard, and the RDX was available with either front-wheel drive or Acura's advanced Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system. The SH-AWD system instantly transferred torque among the wheels (front to rear as well as side to side) to optimize grip and handling in any driving situation.
Standard feature highlights included leather seating, heated seats, xenon headlights, a rearview camera and a 260-watt audio system with a six-CD changer and USB port. Options included a navigation system (with voice activation and real-time traffic reporting), a sun-sensing climate control system and an upgraded audio system.
In reviews, we found this RDX to be one of the most entertaining crossovers to drive, thanks to its peppy acceleration and agile handling. The drawback to this sporty personality was the sacrifice of some utility. Although passengers had plenty of space (the rear seats were nearly as roomy as those in the larger Acura MDX), the 61 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity was on the small side compared to most rivals and the RDX lacked items like adjustable cargo tracks and a rear parcel shelf.
The RDX changed little during this run. A few minor improvements took place for 2008, including a new auto-dimming rearview mirror, memory settings for the driver seat, a larger navigation screen and standard Bluetooth connectivity. For 2010 a front-wheel-drive version became available, as did a few new features including a back-up camera, Bluetooth streaming audio and an iPod/USB jack.

Yes. The problem posters fall into one of two categories in my experience:
1. The troll, a person who has nothing to contribute but they find redemption in trying to make those who do look stupid for sharing "an opinion. They are the people who read a topic, open it, and then post how dumb it is using sarcasm. Some surf the web to find an amusing picture so they get liked and pie. It makes them feel worthy. Recommendation: If you do not like the topic or the thread, either do not open it or simply close it if it is beneath your intellectual level. Spending 5 minutes putting together a humourous visual package to ridicule another Panther fan is sadder than any dumb post.
2. The person who cannot accept any opinion or position other than his own. Even if the topic is subjective and opnionated, these people think that there is only one correct answer and they have been dubbed by the football gods, "Keeper of the Truth." Their purpose is not to open their minds by listening to other ideas, but to argue and have a tantrum because they have so much self-respect riding on being right or having others agree with them. So much depends on social acceptance, and some are not braced for the sting of having their ideas rejected by differing opinions.
I can say that lately, I have experienced pleasant, mature comments that I agreed with in some cases, or silently did not in others. I appreciate the fact that somehow I posted when those with the self-esteem issues were pulled from their basements by Mom's announcement that the macaroni and cheese was ready, or I posted during the network premier of the "Twilight" saga. Whatever it was, a harvest moon or excitement on the scanner, I appreciated the intelligent and mature exchanges.
This and other problems already mentioned have diluted educated and well informed Panthers discussion. I've been a member for many moons. I've enjoyed the different views and knowledgeable opinions from folks that,unfortunately, no longer post. Zod you are to be commended for this site! Please enforce the rules and help restore informed dialog.

From what information I have, Cassie Ann Pullin (1817-1898) was the sister of George W. Pullin's (1855-1931) father, Henry William Pullin (1823-1886). Cassie and Henry's father was John Pullin (1798-bef 1866) and John's father was Henry Pullin, Sr. (1769-1851). I've compiled this information from several different sources and am fairly sure that it is accurate. Does this information match up with what you have? Shawn Cox

Thursday, August 21 09:25:07
U.S. regulators are sending some of the biggest global banks verbal warnings as they crack down on the firms' poor grasp of their own weaknesses, and push for rapid improvements in risk assessment, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The firms who received the warnings are among the largest banks in the world, but the sources declined to name individual firms because the enforcement actions are not public. Given the regular contact between supervisors and bank officials, the warnings could have come in meetings, phone calls, or letters.
Banks are responding to the stepped-up pressure by hiring people with experience in data governance and analytics. One of the sources said recruitment calls have spiked in the last 18 months as regulators have issued more non-public enforcement actions.
The world's largest banks have only grown bigger since the 2007-2009 financial crisis, and now contain even more separate entities involved in a dizzying web of credit obligations and trading positions. Banks, hobbled by what regulators believe is poor risk- management data, are struggling to get a handle on the full scope of their trading activities and asset quality.
The result is that six years after the financial crisis, regulators and the industry they oversee cannot confidently assess big-picture threats to the U.S. financial system.
And what was once viewed as an issue for data geeks has now been elevated to a safety-and-soundness concern that could eventually lead to restrictions on bonuses, dividends and share repurchases.
"The information that external investors and supervisors have about these firms is essentially hostage to the quality of the data management within these firms," said Lewis Alexander, who between 2010- 2011 helped lead the U.S. Treasury's effort to set up the Office of Financial Research, or OFR.
Alexander is now U.S. chief economist at Nomura and also chairs the OFR's advisory committee.
Regulators have been taking a two- pronged approach. Publicly, officials including Federal Reserve Governor Daniel Tarullo and Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry have issued warnings that banks with more than $50 billion in assets need to fix shoddy infrastructure that prevents them from identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling risk.
Curry in particular has hammered at this theme, especially after JPMorgan Chase & Co's risk models in 2012 failed to capture the dangers of its "London Whale" derivatives trades that led to a $6.2 billion loss.
And privately, regulators have been issuing enforcement actions in recent months.
A senior bank supervisor said in an interview that these warnings a part of a "heightened expectations" program in which U.S. regulators have clamped down on the largest U.S. banks and foreign bank units with tougher risk management rules.
For example, the New York Fed sent a letter to Deutsche Bank in December that criticized the U.S. divisions of Germany's largest bank for producing financial reports that were "low quality, inaccurate and unreliable," said a source familiar with the letter.
These private enforcement actions appear to build on some weaknesses that were made public as part of the Fed's annual stress tests of the largest banks.
Bank of America in April was forced to resubmit a capital plan, and had to suspend planned increases in shareholder pay-outs, after it had incorrectly reported data used to calculate capital ratios to the Fed.
A plan by Citigroup was rejected altogether, with the Fed saying the bank's internal examination process did not sufficiently consider how its sprawling business across the world would weather a hypothetical crisis scenario. (Reuters)

Euro zone business growth slows in July, prices fall-PMI
Euro zone private business growth slowed more than expected this month, despite widespread price cutting, as manufacturing and service industry activity both dwindled, a survey showed on Thursday.
Euro zone economic growth ground to a halt in the second quarter, dragged down by a shrinking economy in Germany and a stagnant France, even before any impact from sanctions imposed on and by Russia over Ukraine.
Markit's Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) will provide gloomy reading for the European Central Bank (ECB), suggesting its two biggest economies are struggling like smaller members.
Based on surveys of thousands of companies across the region and a good indicator of overall growth, the Composite Flash PMI fell to 52.8 from July's 53.8, far short of expectations in a Reuters poll for a modest dip to 53.4.
However, readings above 50 still indicate expansion. Markit said the data point to third-quarter economic growth of 0.3 percent, matching predictions from a Reuters poll last week.
"We are not seeing a recovery taking real hold as yet. We are not seeing anything where we look at it and think 'yes, this is the point where the euro zone has come out of all its difficulties'," said Rob Dobson, senior economist at Markit.
The euro zone has also yet to feel the full effect of escalating tensions with Russia.
Europe stung Moscow with economic sanctions, prompting a tit-for-tat response from Russian President Vladimir Putin, over the Kremlin's support for rebels in eastern Ukraine.
The composite PMI in Germany - Russia's biggest trade partner in the European Union which has already seen exports to the country plunge in the first half of the year - fell to 54.9 from 55.7.
For France, the euro zone's second largest economy, the Composite PMI rose from 49.4 to the break-even mark at 50.
Struggling to support growth while battling the threat of deflation, the ECB is providing another round of temporary access to cheap cash for banks. There is also a one-in-three chance it embarks on an asset purchase programme next year, a Reuters poll showed.
Consumer prices in the euro zone rose just 0.4 percent on the year in July, the weakest annual rise since October 2009 at the height of the financial crisis, and well within the ECB's "danger zone" of below 1 percent.
Worryingly, according to the composite output price index firms cut prices for the 29th month - and at a faster rate than in July. It dipped to 48.9 from 49.0.
Also of concern, suggesting factories do not expect things to improve anytime soon, manufacturing headcount fell at the fastest rate in nine months. The sub-index dropped to 49.1 from 49.9.
Optimism about the future also sank among services firms - the business expectations index plummeted to 58.6 from 61.7, its lowest reading in a year. (Reuters)

10 Things I Won't Miss About The Brewers
October 13th, 2009We've decided against doing a long, season retrospective post about the team. There is simply too much to talk about. For instance the pitching staff deserved its own post. Prince Fielder probably deserves his own post. So we're not done writing about the Brewers, not by a longshot. That being said, there are a few things that I am not going to be writing about. Things that bothered me all season long that I am so happy we don't have to put up with anymore. Things like Anthony Witrado and The Happy Youngster. Things like this:
- Tom Haudricourt's Twitter: Tyler Maas covered this excellently over the summer, but it needs to be reiterated. This was the most depressing thing to read about the Brewers all season. How anyone could hate watching the Brewers play baseball so much and be employed to write about it, I'll never know. The only thing worse than his constant complaining about the Brewers is his attempts at humor. Leave it to the professionals buddy. In his defense it's not like he just hates the Brewers, he hates his alma mater too.
- People with gloves: Yeah, yeah we've been down this road before but hear me out. People with gloves annoy me. This is a fact. I will speak this fact loudly and clearly to anyone who will listen. What really pisses me off is when people decide that *I'm* the asshole for saying it. Really? You're defending the 30 year old in a baseball glove? The person who knows a lot about the team and baseball who is generally considered smart and funny is wrong and the guy who is afraid of a ball hitting his bare hands and/or wants the ball so badly he will wear a glove to get it over anyone else is right? Is that the stance we're taking here?
- Jason Kendall the gamer: Jason Kendall is great, at drawing walks and getting hit by pitches. He's also quite excellent at hitting flyballs to mid center field in crucial times that make casual fans believe he might have gotten a good piece of it. That's about it. His defense has been praised repeatedly, but modern metrics contradict this. Jason Kendall had a great career, but he is nothing more than a backup now. Let's let him be one.
- Having huge hangovers after going to games
- Other people writing about the Brewers: If there is one thing I've learned this season it's that the people who try to write about every team in the league, don't know anything about most of the teams in the league. Even websites I respect like Big League Stew don't get it. In their Walk Toward The Light series they said they knew the Brewers were done when "CC Sabathia signed with the Yankees" which is weird considering the Brewers were in first place at the end of June. They were in first place at the end of June and were within shouting distance of the Widl Card for awhile after that, but we knew they were going to pitch terribly and fall apart in the second half because CC Sabathia was gone. Riiiiiiiiight.
- Anything anyone on the radio says about the Brewers: I hate sports radio and the Brewers are a huge reason why. Think about it: Rickie Weeks to Center Field, JJ Hardy getting traded for Jon Lester, it's okay to trade Gamel and Escobar for Halladay, trade Prince Fielder for Matt Cain and every other stupid thing that will never happen that people only say because they have no concept of how baseball works comes from sports radio.
- Manny Parra: If Dave Bush's injury was the conduit for the ultimate struggles of the pitching staff, Manny Parra was at the poster boy for it's crappiness. In one of my earliest posts I was mad that Suppan was getting the Opening Day start and that Gallardo and Parra were moved down. I was truly convinced that Manny Parra was going to have a big breakout year (and I wasn't the only one) and he didn't. He really, really didn't adding almost a full two runs to his ERA over 2008. The worst feeling in the world is when you have tickets to a game where Parra is pitching. You don't know what is going to happen, but there is a good chance they will lose and an even better one that if they lose it will be badly.
- Ryan Braun doing things that make me not like him: I love Ryan Braun, really I do! I once wrote a post basically asking him to be my best friend. Whether it was sticking his tongue out or creating a line of shirts that I personally would not wear or ruining my sex life, it always seemed like there was something driving a wedge between Braun and I. Now that the season is over, he's hanging in California and we don't have to worry about eachother. Unless the rumors are true and he's opening a restaurant near me. That'd be weird.
- Alledged stalkers emailing me
- People complaining about Doug Melvin: Say what you want about the pitching staff, I have my opinions and you have yours, but what's lost in the whole mess is the fact that Brewers had the THIRD best offense in the National League. For a small market team without a whole lot of money to have the third best offense in the NL is not an accident. It takes a very smart, very good GM to make that happen and despite what happened with the pitching this year Doug Melvin has done and will continue to do an excellent job. So shut up about.

I like everything on the list except number 7. I can't help it, I love Manny Parra and still have faith that he'll become a reliable starter. His peripherals weren't that bad with respect to LD%, GB%, IFFB%, etc. He definitely needs to improve his control and BB rate, but his FIP was 4.88, which isn't great, but with his E-F at 1.49 (plus a crazy high BABIP of .365, the highest among major league starters with at least 120 IP), improvement can be expected.
I actually like Haudricourt's tweets. He has to be unbiased in his coverage and to see he was just as frustrated the worst team in baseball was able to have a batter hit back-to-back grand slams against us made me feel like he slightly felt my pain. Then again having Tony as your sidekick, you're bound to look good. (I sure won't miss that bozo)
Couldn't agree more about sports radio, though.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Nest Labs will continue to operate under the leadership of its CEO, Tony Fadell. The transaction is expected to close in the next few months.
Fadell said that, with Google's support, "Nest will be even better placed to build simple, thoughtful devices that make life easier at home, and that have a positive impact on the world."

Getting Groovy -- Playing Records without a Needle
Re:Another approach (43 comments)
I have a number of songs on both vinyl and cd (being a part time dj and all).
The vinyl has so much more bass response, it blows any cd away. There's just something about analogue that digital can't quite reproduce. CD's tend to cutoff at about 20Hz, below which is all the stuff you 'feel' rather than hear.
Makes a big difference.

Hitachi Certified Solutions Program Provides Access To Third-Party Products Optimized To Work Seamlessly With Hitachi Projectors
–New Peerless Mounts A100IWBMOUNT Universal Projector Mount Designed Specifically For Use with the Hitachi CP-A100 3LCD Projector and Hitachi Software FX Duo Interactive Whiteboard.–
–Certified Solutions Program Expands with Addition of Optical Screen Technology Manufacturer DNP Denmark.–
At InfoComm 08, Hitachi Home Electronics (America), Inc., Business Group continues its successful and strategic relationships with key manufacturers in the A/V industry as part of the companyâs Certified Solution Program. Through the Certified Solutions Program, systems integrators have access to a wealth of products that are optimized to work seamlessly with Hitachi projectors, addressing the complete spectrum of demands for presentation displays. These products include projector mounts, network connectivity devices, wireless presentation tools, projection screens and travel cases.
The benefits of the Certified Solutions Program will be on display at the Hitachi InfoComm C914 booth, which is showcasing the Peerless Mounts A100IWBMOUNT universal projector
mount, designed specifically for use with the Hitachi CP-A100 LCD projector and Hitachi Software FX Duo multi-touch interactive whiteboard. The A100IWBMOUNT allows the CP-A100 and FX Duo to be optimized together in a simple, user-friendly bundle.
Peerlessâ A100IWBMOUNT enables the Hitachi CP-A100 projector to be independently adjusted horizontally and vertically, allowing the installer to align the projected image and the whiteboard perfectly every time. The screen height of the mount is adjustable by 12 inches, with depth adjustment of 14 inches. Additionally, the projector and screen can be raised and lowered together, while the mountâs counter-balance design allows for easy raising and lowering of the screen and projector. The wide wheelbase of the optional cart assembly (A100IWBCART) prevents users from tripping while working on the screen, and the cart assembly also features locking wheels and integrated cable management features, which provides a clean, finished appearance.
Additionally, Hitachi has added DNP Denmark as the newest member of the Hitachi Certified Solutions Program. DNP Denmark is one of the world's leading suppliers of optical screen technology. For over a decade, some of the largest developments in the field of rear projection technology have come from DNP Denmarkâs laboratories – including the 200-foot DNP Giant Wide Angle Screen, the world's largest optical screen.
Now DNP has expanded into the front projection market with its groundbreaking Supernova Screen, representing a major milestone in the market, as it allows front projection to be used in brightly lit environments for the very first time.
âThe Peerless Mounts A100IWBMOUNT exemplifies the benefits Hitachiâs Certified Solutions Program can afford systems integrators for all applications,â? said Ray Soltys, director of sales, Business Group, Hitachi Home Electronics (America), Inc.
âNow, with the addition of DNP Denmark as the newest CSP member, systems integrators have greater access to products optimized to work with Hitachi projectors, allowing them increasing opportunities to lead with Hitachi.â?

Argument Quality and Cultural Difference

Get AccessAbstract
Central to argumentation theory is a concern with normativity. Argumentation theorists are concerned, among other things, with explaining why some arguments are good (or at least better than others) in the sense that a given argument provides reasons for embracing its conclusion which are such that a fair- minded appraisal of the argument yields the judgment that the conclusion ought to be accepted -- is worthy of acceptance -- by all who so appraise it.
This conception of argument quality presupposes that the goodness of arguments is characterizable in terms of features of 'the argument itself.' It makes no reference either to the attributes of the persons appraising the argument and judging its normative force, or to the context in which that appraisal is carried out. But recent work by a wide range of philosophers, argumentation theorists, and social theorists rejects such an abstract, impersonal notion of argument goodness. Instead, these theorists insist upon taking seriously, in the evaluation of arguments, the features of the evaluators themselves. In particular, such theorists emphasize the importance of cultural difference in argument appraisal. Often locating themselves under the banner of multiculturalism, they argue that the quality of an argument depends upon culturally-specific beliefs, values, and presuppositions; that an argument may be of high quality in one cultural context but of low quality in another. Consequently, they contend, no abstract, impersonal characterization of argument quality can succeed.
In this paper I consider this multiculturalist approach to argument quality. I argue that while there is much merit in the general multiculturalist perspective, the multiculturalist argument against impersonal conceptions of argument quality fails. It fails for several reasons detailed below; most fundamentally, it fails because it itself presupposes just the kind of impersonal account of argument quality it seeks to reject. I call this presupposition that of transcultural normative reach. I identify this presupposition in the multiculturalist argument, and show how it undercuts the multiculturalist challenge to abstract, impersonal, transcultural conceptions of argument quality. I conclude with an evaluation of the strengths, and weaknesses, of the multiculturalist challenge to such conceptions of argument quality.

Admission Costs and Entry Information
Brennan and Geraghty's Store, with adjoining residence and cottage, was acquired by the National Trust of Queensland in 1975 due to its historical commercial significance.
The large timber grocery store with masonry facade was operated by two generations of the same family for 101 years. The store was opened in April 1871 by Patrick Brennan and Martin Geraghty. The store traded through to 1972 when it was closed by Geraghty's youngest son George. George was then 88 years old. When George closed the shop, he shut it up with complete stock from the 1890's through to advertising signs of the 1920's and packaging from the 1960's.
... moreAfter many painstaking years of restoration, the store was opened as a museum about itself and its place in the community, it is a rare survivor of our commercial heritage surviving intact with its own contents.
The store is open seven days a week, the adjoining houses are not open to the public. The store is closed during mid February each year for maintenance work.

I'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.
I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it's always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.

On Saturday, October 24, skate history was once again made. IASC and Skatelab held the first-ever Skateboarding Hall Of Fame at the Vans skatepark in Orange. Four skateboarders, from four different decades, were inducted at the event: Bruce Logan, Tony Alva, Danny Way, and Tony Hawk.
Don Bostick and Jim Fitzpatrick announced the winners, and Logan, Alva, and Way each said a few words. Tony Hawk was on an East Coast Birdhouse tour and couldn't make it back, so his brother Steve Hawk accepted on his behalf.
In addition to the celebration, the "Rip The Ripper" art show was on display, and there was an auction to benefit the Go Skateboarding Foundation.
The who's who of skateboarding, from yesterday and today came out of the woodwork to watch. Skateboarders and skateboarding advocates from the last 50 years all got together and told stories, caught up, and forged some new friendships, hopefully setting the pace for these events for years to come.

Speaking of sitcoms, NBC Thursday nights have long been the place to go for ones that are hilarious versus merely tolerable if you need something to watch while painting your nails. We already love "Community"—Betty White will be guest starring tonight!—which joined old favorites "30 Rock" and "The Office" last year. And now NBC is adding another new sitcom to the lineup—"Outsourced" is the tale of your typical 20-something American guy who goes to leadership training to run a call center for a novelty products company, only to return and find that the center has been moved to India.

Who counts the civilian casualties?
Not long before the United States launched its invasion of Iraq, President Bush told the American people: "If war is forced upon us, we will fight in a just cause and by just means - sparing, in every way we can, the innocent."
He meant civilians: men, women, and children who had lived for a quarter-century under Saddam Hussein's iron-fisted rule - who were not part of Iraq's military forces, yet could not escape the horrors of war.
How well has Mr. Bush's pledge been kept? How many civilian casualties - "collateral damage," to use the antiseptic phrase - have resulted from the war, and the subsequent occupation in which people are killed and wounded nearly every day?
It's an impossible question to answer with sure accuracy. The nature of war - in particular this kind of war in this kind of place - makes it hard to tally the "innocent" victims. The Pentagon says it "monitors" civilian casualties but doesn't keep such figures. Human rights groups try, but they acknowledge that their figures are estimates at best.
Those estimates, however, signal that losses have been severe. Between 8,789 and 10,638 civilians have died since war began March 19, 2003, according to one group of British and American researchers that surveys media reports and eyewitness accounts.
It's also difficult to assign responsibility or blame. Many thousands of Iraqi civilians died during Hussein's reign, and 692 US-led coalition soldiers have died ending that regime. In war - by definition, the failure to resolve disputes without suffering - how do these losses figure into any kind of cost-benefit calculus?
Yet it's important to gauge the toll on civilians, say experts on the laws governing war and occupation. And current efforts to quantify civilian casualties come at a time when those laws are being tested as never before.
Battlefields may be hellish, yet they are regulated by a code called the Law of Armed Conflict.
This includes the Hague and Geneva Conventions (international protocols spelling out the rules of war, in place since 1907 and 1949, respectively), in addition to various international agreements supplementing them. In sum, its principles are military necessity, distinction, and proportionality, which add up to targeting only military objectives while avoiding noncombatants.

On the morning of Aug. 2, 2011, Judy Arlene Staley was surrounded by her loving family as she began her journey to heaven to become one of God's beautiful, singing angels.
Judy was born on Feb. 7, 1946, in Hardin, to John Schmidt Jr. and Gladys (Heckel) Schmidt. Judy grew up in Billings, attending Taft, Garfield and Senior High schools, graduating in 1964.
Judy married Willie Ventling on June 6, 1964, and later divorced. From this marriage, a daughter, Kathleen, was born.
On December 30, 1967, she married Robert Staley. From this union, three daughters, Tina, Linda and Lisa were born. Together, they celebrated 43 years of marriage and family.
Family was the most important thing to Judy, and she treasured the time she spent with her children and grandchildren shopping, baking, sewing, singing and camping at the Paradise Valley KOA. Judy was very active in her church. She was a member of the Friendly Circle and sang with family, the Songbirds, the church choir, and the Praise Team. She also spent many years as a Sunday School Superintendent, and faithfully participated in Dress-a-Child each year. She was a member of many organizations throughout her adult life, including several quilting and sewing clubs.
Judy trained on the job and was a legal secretary for 40 years, working for various law firms over the course of her career. The majority of her career was spent working for Kevin Sweeney and Don Herndon. She was awarded the title Secretary of the Year by the Billings Legal Secretary Association in 1988.
Survivors include her husband, Bob; children, Kathy (Farron) Lennick, Linda (Rex) McGraw, and Lisa Staley; grandchildren, Matthew (Julia) Lennick, Amanda Lennick and fiancé Chad Lawrence, and Meghan McGraw; great-grandchildren, Ainsley and Alivia Lennick; mother, Gladys Schmidt; siblings, Ken (Judy) Schmidt and Elaine (Andy) Black. Also surviving her are numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and special friends.
Judy was preceded in death by her father, John Schmidt Jr., and daughter, Tina Renée Staley.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of the Inpatient Cancer Center at the Billings Clinic and the many family members and friends who supported and cared for her.
Viewing will take place on Thursday, Aug. 4, and Friday, Aug. 5, at Smith Funeral Chapel, Downtown. Services will be held at Pilgrim Congregational Church at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2011. Interment will follow at Mountview Cemetery. Memorials may be given in Judy's name to Pilgrim Congregational Church.
Thank you, Mom, for being our hero, our blessing, and our inspiration. We love you!

Two exhibitions in the city offer handicrafts from across the country
Artistic terracotta murals, vases and bowls with twirls of poetry, along with beautiful dhokra work pieces from Odisha, and other exhibits set the tone for festive gift shopping at two exhibitions on in the city. Rajarunnodayan, sculptor from Karaikudi, presents his terracotta urlis, vases, bowls and murals at the handicrafts exhibition. Done by hand and heated on a coal fire, each of his pieces melds art and craft in compelling shapes. The leitmotif of his work is the leaf; and the bowls, murals and vases come in interesting juxtapositions. The terracotta items are perfect accessories for homes and gardens. Other products on display are patchwork wall-hangings from Gujarat that bring together pieces of block-prints, embroidery and embellishment in brilliant collages.
There are pretty pieces of colourful wood inlay work from Mysore, bright Madhubani art, whitewood figurines, lamps, etc.
Utkal Kala Kriti from Odisha has a plethora of craft products such as lac bangles, semi-precious stone beads, Saharanpur's carved wooden artefacts and furniture as well as Odhisa's beautiful Sambalpuri ikat saris and yardage, Pattachitra art, etc. The dhokra work is amazingly delicate. Tiny Ganeshas sit beside artistically conceived clothes hangers, door handles and tribal figurines. The reproduction of an antique 'deepam' featuring peacocks is stunning both in concept and detailing.
(The Utkal Kala Kriti is on at Sankara Hall, TTK Road, Alwarpet and the handicrafts exhibition is on view at Valluvar Kottam, Nungambakkam High Road, both till May 22)
Keywords: handicrafts exhibition, terracotta

Marc Emmer, immediate past president of the SCV School & Business Alliance, has been named to the board of the Santa Clarita Valley Facilities Foundation. The all-volunteer foundation is a non-profit public benefit corporation founded to provide financial assistance to the William S. Hart Union High School District in locating, acquiring and developing new school sites.
Emmer is a long-time supporter of youth in the local community. In addition to his two years as head of the School & Business Alliance, he has done extensive work for organizations such as Junior Achievement and the Boys & Girls Club. He also is a supporter of Special Olympics and Girl Scouts.
He is president of The SST Group, a management consulting firm specializing in strategic planning, sales productivity, customer service, executive coaching and leadership development. In 2003, Emmer was recognized by Loyola Marymount as winner of the university's Entrepreneurial Excellence Award.

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her parents but impresses her schoolteacher and, over the course of her first term at school, teacher and pupil have a profound effect on each other's lives.
Based on the beloved story by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl who decides that despite a bad beginning, her story is going to be an astonishing one.

Unique Opportunities for StudentsThe Core Texts Program offers a number of opportunities that encourage student intellectual development in their first year of college: London Core Texts: Each fall faculty nominate the top students from their classes to participate in the London Core Texts Program held every May at the conclusion of Spring semester. This unique two week experience allows talented and ambitious students an opportunity to study important authors and see famous sites from English history and literature while staying at Samford University's London residence, The Daniel House. Classics Trips to Athens and Rome: The Core Texts Program helps to identify and encourage first-year students who would like to participate in the Classics Department trips to Athens and Rome. Each January the Classics Department annually alternates a spectacular three week educational experience in Greece and Italy where students can experience the cultures that gave us the foundational literature of Western civilization. Student Teaching Assistants: The Core Texts Program is devising a system of student mentoring that utilizes talented upper division students in Humanities majors to assist faculty and first-year students as tutors and discussion leaders. These assistants will represent the best of their majors, and they will help our freshman adjust to the "great conversation" of the Core Texts Program. Core Texts Debates/Discussions: The Core Texts Program sponsors three events through the academic year where students witness first-hand a debate or discussion relevant to themes covered in the course: Between Jerusalem and Athens is an annual fall presentation about the theological and philosophical intersection of the Classical and Christian worlds. The Winter Reformation Debate hosted each February covers a significant topic related to the theological issues surrounding the Protestant Reformation. Making Sense of Modernity held each April addressing theological and philosophical issues relevant to the modern and post-modern period. Student Paper Award: Each academic year faculty nominate student papers to be considered for the award of best Core Texts Student Paper of The Year. First, second, and third place winners are recognized with a cash prize presented at a spring reception at the president's house.
Is Your Child Ready?The short answer is yes. For centuries reading great works of literature, history, philosophy, and theology served as an initiation into the life of a mature educated person. The mind and the soul were believed to share a relationship, and curriculums were designed to cultivate the moral reasoning skills required of civilized people. In recent decades universities have largely abandoned this enterprise. At Samford, however, we still value the transformative experience that comes from engaging significant ideas that shape our civilization and its values. Your child is ready for our curriculum simply by virtue of the fact they are human, and humans, both young and old, desire meaning. Our goal is to help your child learn to pursue meaning in the context of important ideas that have withstood the trials of history. While reading for understanding and writing with clarity require discipline, effort, and diligence, you need not worry that your child enter our program already familiar with the substance of the curriculum. Our job is to introduce them to this substance, and to do it in a way that encourages their innate desire to understand. Our motto, Inquiry, Discussion, Faith, and Reason, tells you and your child what to expect in the Core Texts Program. Bring a curious inquisitive mind, a willingness to discuss perennial ideas, a respect for the place of faith, specifically the Christian faith, in learning, and a recognition that rational discourse both civilizes the passions and sharpens the intellect, and your child will flourish in our curriculum. Regardless of their major or their life's work, a student who is taught to engage and converse with the foundational ideas, trials, and triumphs of Western intellectual history will be immeasurably empowered to face the future.
