The largest U.S. study on teenagers and their use of digital media show that America's youth are developing important social and technical skills online, skills that adults do not always understand or value.
"It might surprise parents to learn that it is not a waste of time for their teens to hang out online," said Mizuko Ito, University of California, Irvine researcher and the report's lead author.
"There are myths about kids spending time online, that it is dangerous or making them lazy. But we found that spending time online is essential for young people to pick up the social and technical skills they need to be competent citizens in the digital age."
Over three years, researchers interviewed over 800 young people and their parents, both one-on-one and in focus groups; spent over 5000 hours observing teens on sites such as MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and other networked communities; and conducted diary studies to document how, and to what end, young people engage with digital media.
The researchers identified two distinctive categories of teen engagement with digital media: friendship-driven and interest-driven. While friendship-driven participation centered on "hanging out" with existing friends, interest-driven participation involved accessing online information and communities that may not be present in the local peer group. Significant findings include:
There is a generation gap in how youth and adults view the value of online activity.
Youth are navigating complex social and technical worlds by participating online.
Young people are motivated to learn from their peers online.
Most youth are not taking full advantage of the learning opportunities of the Internet.
"This study creates a baseline for our understanding of how young people are participating with digital media and what that means for their learning," said Connie Yowell, Ph.D., Director of Education at the MacArthur Foundation. "It concludes that learning today is becoming increasingly peer-based and networked, and this is important to consider as we begin to re-imagine education in the 21st century."
Ito and her team of researchers found that participation in the digital age means more than being able to access serious online information and culture. Youth using new media often learn from their peers, and notions of expertise and authority are being redefined.
"Online spaces provide unprecedented opportunities for kids to expand their social worlds and engage in public life, whether that is connecting with peers over MySpace or Facebook, or publishing videos on YouTube," said Ito. "Kids learn on the Internet in a self-directed way, by looking around for information they are interested in, or connecting with others who can help them. This is a big departure from how they are asked to learn in most schools, where the teacher is the expert and there is a fixed set of content to master."
The research demonstrates that, although many young people are developing a broad range of sophisticated new literacy and technical skills, they are also facing new challenges in how to manage their visibility and social relationships online. Online media, messages, and profiles that young people post can travel beyond expected audiences and are often difficult to eradicate after the fact. The research suggests that this rapid pace of change presents challenges for both adults and kids as they struggle to keep up with technology and related social changes.
"Most parents knew very little about what their kids did online, and struggled to give real guidance and help," said Ito. In some cases, however, the researchers found that parents and their children came together around gaming or shared digital media projects, where both kids and adults brought expertise to the table.
More information about the study and the MacArthur Foundation's digital media and learning initiative can be found online at digitallearning.macfound.org. Ito's research findings, among the first from the initiative, are part of an effort to inject grounded research into the conversation about the future of learning in a digital world.
The study's results were released today at the American Anthropological Association's annual meeting. The study was supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's $50-million digital media and learning initiative, which is exploring how digital media are changing how young people learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life. Ito led the research team along with the late Peter Lyman of the University of California, Berkeley, and Michael Carter of the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education, as well as 28 researchers and collaborators at the University of Southern California and the University of California, Berkeley.

With only 130 seats, Mosaic Theatre can justly claim that there?s not a bad seat in the house. Designed to be a maximally flexible space, the venue changes its seating for every performance to enhance the theatergoing experience for visitors or to clear way for the mid-play goat chorus line.
First opened in 1968, the Electric Factory has been hosting rock shows for almost as long Puerto Rico has been a state. After dancing their faces off to headliners from Erykah Badu to the Dropkick Murphys, concertgoers can stop by The Chive Caf? to recharge with a cheesesteak or an all-beef hotdog on a potato bun, or refill their draft Yuengling at the bar. In summer, the Electric Factory reveals an outdoor location complete with more refreshment booths, vendors, and upgraded food stands.
Grammy-winner Rihanna unleashes her formidable pipes and celebrated songbook as she continues traveling the countryside on her LOUD tour. Vibrant costumes and first-rate production harmoniously augment the singer's chart-topping oeuvre, which includes hits such as "S & M," "Only Girl (In the World)," and "What's My Name?" From the BankAtlantic Center's 400-level seats, concertgoers can marvel at the elaborate set pieces gilding the stage as their eardrums feast like hungry dachshunds in an unmanned pizza parlor. Cee Lo Green and J. Cole add their own vocal talents to the evening's aural enticements, creating a three-pronged attack on musical monotony.
Arena football brings the bone-crunching hits, aerial assaults, and sprinter speed of non-arena football to a 50-yard, indoor field with padded walls and field goals surrounded by rebound nets for even more fast-paced, high-scoring action. Watch this year's Storm squad, led by the AFL's all-time winningest head coach, Tim Marcum, conquer the close quarters and hopefully add a sixth championship trophy. As the passion for passing rises and the scoring works up a fever of fervor, cool off with a soda or beer and refuel by inhaling a hot dog without using your hands.
For more than 30 years, Barry Manilow has romanced the airwaves and the hearts of millions worldwide with his ethereal melodies, relentless showmanship, and touching sincerity. With his ageless, silky voice, Barry's continues to tug the heartstrings of boomers and bloomers with his timeless tunes, including "Mandy," "Copacabana (At The Copa)," and "Could It Be Magic." For this very special Florida visit, the magnanimous Bank Atlantic Center is proud to host Barry Manilow along with his razzling, dazzling cast and the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.
Did you know that, on average, 88% of the seats in a movie theater remain empty during a showing? According to the New York Times, this phenomenon really surprised Sean Wycliffe a few years back when he went to see the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech and shared the theater with only two other audience members. With all the focus on online video services, Sean realized movie theaters were being overlooked, and came up with a concept that could help movie houses fill their empty seats.
His brainchild became Dealflicks, a website that offers customers discounted tickets (sometimes with popcorn or soda) for same-day showings. Customers shop a selection of deals, each of which is specific to a particular film, theater, and showtime, and upon purchase, receive an email voucher they present at the theater's ticket counter. Dealflicks is partnered with theaters around the country, particularly independent and neighborhood venues, such as the treehouse of the enterprising kid down the street.

Preen Fall 2009 Stars a Chubby, Two More Comeback Models
>> There was an "icon revival" casting call this season, and so far, Trish Goff, Tasha Tilberg, Natasa Vojnovic, Christina Kruse, and Hannelore Knuts have all been circulating the runways; joining a couple of the aforementioned this morning at Preen: 38-year-old '90s androgynous icon Kirsten Owen and early-'00s Belgian face Anne Catherine Lacroix — who else will show up next?
Also making appearances at Preen — Kanye West, who was a no-show for his front row seat at United Bamboo yesterday morning, Anne Christensen's kids, who played with the clear plastic covering the runway before the show, and Sir Philip Green, who raised eyebrows yesterday at Alexander Wang and is in town for the big Topshop press conference tomorrow morning.
In addition to their stellar standby cut-out minidresses and pleated pants, Justin Thorton and Thea Bregazzi did some experimenting for Fall 2009 — a big, bold, houndstooth print appeared more than a couple of times, and there was a surprising set of candy-colored rainbow dresses toward the end. Pronounced shoulders, random patches of fur on jackets, bold metallics, and cut-out leggings emerged here in addition to other runways — those and structured, uneven hems — see Karlie Kloss's miniskirt; trends in the making? And for the showstopper: a seriously chubby pastel fur chubby, worn by Anja Rubik.

Description The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent App. No. 60/852,911, filed on Oct. 17, 2006, and which is incorporated herein by reference. A common method of lowering resonant frequency of an antenna is to capacitively load an end of the structure. This method works for different types of antennas, for example a patch antenna or a monopole (e.g., dipole, folded antenna, or spiral). Antenna bandwidth and quality (Q) factor are related to antenna volume. Generally, a higher antenna volume will result in higher bandwidth. The antenna Q factor, which is inversely related to the bandwidth, increases as the antenna volume is reduced. Therefore, if one is forced to reduce the size of an antenna due to size constraints, the bandwidth of the antenna is reduced as well. In cases where the required operating frequency range exceeds the antenna bandwidth, the antenna may be unable to overcome the narrow bandwidth. The foregoing examples of the related art and limitations related therewith are intended to be illustrative and not exclusive. Other limitations of the related art will become apparent to those of skill in the art upon a reading of the specification and a study of the drawings. Examples of the claimed subject matter are illustrated in the figures. In the following description, several specific details are presented to provide a thorough understanding of examples of the claimed subject matter. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that one or more of the specific details can be eliminated or combined with other components, etc. In other instances, well-known implementations or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the claimed subject matter. To tune antenna resonance of the system 100, the switches 104 may be opened or closed to vary the amount of capacitive loading. In the example of A more sophisticated technique to change capacitive loading is through a tuning voltage-variable capacitor (varactor) 206, as shown in In the example of In the example of In the example of In the example of In the example of While the acceptable optimization threshold has not been reached (510-N), the flowchart 500 continues to module 512 with adjusting the amount of loading to increase coverage of the frequency band during the tuning process, then returns to module 508 and continues from there as described previously. Ideally, but not necessarily, increased coverage achieved by adjusting the capacitive load will result in coverage of the entire frequency band. When the acceptable optimization threshold has been reached (510-Y), the flowchart 500 ends, having obtained the desirable optimization. As previously mentioned, there is a direct correlation between antenna bandwidth and antenna volume. Therefore, instead of being limited to a planar structure, one can utilize the z-axis to expand the volume of an antenna, without affecting the xy area. By way of example but not limitation, a spiral antenna can be expanded in volume by alternating the traces between several layers of a substrate material. Tuning an antenna can be based on any desired performance metric. Received signal strength, or RSSI, is a desirable metric on which to base the tuning since it is a good indicator of antenna matching to the desired signal frequency. Other useful performance metrics include Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and packet error rate (PER), or combinations of RSSI, SNR, and/or PER. However, any applicable known or convenient performance metric may be used in various embodiments and/or implementations. In the example of Performance metric data is associated with a received signal, such as RSSI, SNR, PER, or some other performance metric. The performance metric data could provide a performance metric without any processing (e.g., the signal strength could be used directly to estimate performance). A performance metric could use data from multiple signals concurrently, or make use of historic signal data, to estimate RSSI, SNR, PER, or other performance metric. The performance quantification engine 912 could repeatedly or periodically perform single-stage tuning, or perform stage one tuning one or more times then use a different performance metric to accomplish stage two tuning. Repetition of either first, second, or other stage tuning could be desirable to adjust to temperature changes or other changes associated with circuit aging, as this aging can change the performance and specifications of circuit active (e.g. transitors) and passive (e.g. resistors, capacitors, and inductors) components. As one of many examples, the first stage tuning could be occasionally repeated to take into account possible changes to the antenna caused by temperature variations, moisture, circuit changes (e.g., bias current could change). In this example, the second stage tuning may be repeated more frequently and more quickly. As another example the first stage tuning may have lower complexity than the second stage tuning. So, the first stage tuning is fast, and the second stage tuning takes longer to complete. The amount of second stage tuning might be set dynamically (e.g., when the system decides it has resources to spare to do a more thorough tuning) or preset. As another example, a reason to repeat one or both stages is that a system may dynamically change its frequency of operation and/or its signal bandwidth, which would benefit from retuning the antenna. A reason to have two stages could be that the first stage must be done quickly to ensure reasonable operation, so would be based on a fast computation, and then fine tuning in a second stage could be done more slowly. Another reason to have two stages is complexity. One of the stages could be based on a simple algorithm that could be updated fairly often. A more complex algorithm could be done in the other stage, which would be performed less often to save power. A third reason to have more than one stage is that the performance metric associated with the first stage could be instantaneous, while the performance metric associated with the second stage could be based on instantaneous as well as past measurements, and hence would need more time to do the calculation. The performance quantification engine 912 could generate a performance control signal using multiple performance metrics in parallel. Alternatively, the performance quantification engine 912 could generate a performance control signal using one or more performance metrics, and fine tune the performance control signal using the same or different performance metrics. In other words, multiple performance metrics could be applied in parallel or serially. In the example of In the example of In the example of If multiple performance metrics are considered simultaneously, it may be that the estimate is different for one or more of the applicable performance metrics. In such a case, the performance metrics may be weighted and a weighted average performance improvement may be estimated. Any appropriate algorithm could be implemented to achieve desired weighting, or lack thereof, for various performance metrics, and depending upon the embodiment or implementation. The algorithm could also use different weighting dynamically in response to an environment or configurable conditions. In the example of In the example of It may be noted that when a system includes second stage tuning, continuing to module 1004 may be in accordance with a first stage or a second stage. If neither first stage tuning (1010�No) nor second stage tuning (1012�No) is desired, the flowchart 1000 ends, having performed the tuning function for the requisite duration, number of times, et al. If it is determined that second stage tuning is desired (1012�Yes) in lieu of repeating first stage tuning, the flowchart 1000 continues to decision point 1014 where it is determined whether to use the same metric as before. If it is determined that the same metric is to be used (1014�Yes), the flowchart 1000 returns to module 1004 and continues as described previously. It may be noted that first stage tuning (1010�Yes) and second stage tuning with the same metric (1014�Yes) may or may not be identical. For example, the tuning voltage may be set according to the estimate for each repetition, while the tuning voltage may be adjusted more gradually according to the estimate for a fine tuning using the same performance metric or metrics. If it is determined that the same metric is not to be used (1014�No), then the flowchart 1000 continues to module 1016 where a different performance metric or set of performance metrics are considered, then the flowchart 1000 continues to module 1004 as described previously. The different performance metric(s) may be an entirely different set of performance metrics from those considered in previous iterations of the flowchart 1000, or the sets could be overlapping. Typically, though not necessarily, second stage tuning may be desirable in this case to avoid fluctuations due to differing estimates based upon differing performance metrics; not all performance metrics will necessarily yield the same estimates under identical conditions. Note that the input impedance of an antenna is also affected when the size is reduced by multiple folds and alternating layers. The detuning of antenna impedance is compensated for by using reactive matching elements. For instance, as in the case of the folded antenna with a capacitive loading built into a PC board structure, if the spiral antenna's input impedance is capacitive at the desired resonant frequency, a shunt inductive stub will retune the input to the desired resistive value. Advantageously, use of a shunt inductive stub in the context of the techniques described herein can reduce mismatch, which would increase SNR and efficiency. This can in turn impact the performance metrics used as described previously. In the example of In the example of In the example of In the example of Advantageously, using the techniques described herein, an antenna can be made that has a compact size, tunability, and integrated matching. This may facilitate antenna integration with an IC package. Systems described herein may be implemented on any of many possible hardware, firmware, and software systems. Typically, systems such as those described herein are implemented in hardware on a silicon chip. Algorithms described herein are implemented in hardware, such as by way of example but not limitation RTL code. However, other implementations may be possible. The specific implementation is not critical to an understanding of the techniques described herein and the claimed subject matter. As used herein, the term �embodiment� means an embodiment that serves to illustrate by way of example but not limitation. It will be appreciated to those skilled in the art that the preceding examples and embodiments are exemplary and not limiting to the scope of the present invention. It is intended that all permutations, enhancements, equivalents, and improvements thereto that are apparent to those skilled in the art upon a reading of the specification and a study of the drawings are included within the true spirit and scope of the present invention. It is therefore intended that the following appended claims include all such modifications, permutations and equivalents as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

Police: Woman DUI
with kids in car
MANCHESTER A North Rupert woman was cited for four counts of child endangerment after she was stopped and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol while her four children, all younger than 15, were in the vehicle, according to police.
Carol Rock, 32, of North Rupert, was also cited for drunk driving and driving with a criminally suspended license, according to a press release from Trooper Justin Walker of the Vermont State Police.
Walker said Rock was stopped on Depot Street in Manchester on Thursday around 9 p.m. for a defective headlight.
According to Walker, Rocks drivers license was suspended after she was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol in 2012.
Walker said Rock failed the field sobriety exercises he administered after the stop.
One of the children was sitting without a seatbelt or any safety restraint in the cargo area of the sports utility vehicle Rock was driving.

VEINNA, Sept 22 (KUNA) -- President Heinz Fischer announced on Thursday
that the Austrian embassy in Tripoli would be re-opened soon.
Fischer made the announcement shortly after US President Barack Obama said
that the American ambassador to Libya was on his way back to Tripoli and
the US embassy would be re-opened, In a high-level meeting with the leader
of the Transitional National Council (TNC), Mustafa Abdel Jalil, with
Obama also taking part, the Austrian head of state assured that Austria
will support Libya bilaterally as well as within the EU and UN.
Fischer also announced that a large part of Libya's frozen assets in
Austria would be released early next month.
The president recommended the new Libyan leaders cooperate with the OSCE
and benefit from their support regarding rule of law and human rights.
Austria's head of state underlined the importance of upholding human
rights and rule of law. "The Libyan people must sense improvement in their
living conditions - and they must feel that they no longer have to live in
fear. Only then would the people support a new democratic Libya." Fischer
congratulated "the Libyan people and the Transitional National Council on
their successful fight to put an end to 42 years of dictatorship.

Monday, January 25
EnergySolutions Arena
Attendance: 19,911
Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Carlos Boozer provided 21 points and a season-high 20 rebounds, and the Utah Jazz stormed back from a 17-point deficit in the second half to beat the Phoenix Suns, 124-115, for their sixth straight home win.
Andrei Kirilenko had a team-high 25 points for the Jazz, who outscored the Suns, 45-19, from 2:38 left in the third to the end of the game to improve to 18-6 at home this season. Wesley Matthews added a career-best 21 points, while Deron Williams had 18 points and 11 assists in the victory.
"I am learning quickly," the rookie Matthews said. "I grew up watching this, watching the Phoenix Suns play, watching the Utah Jazz play. It's just runs. We started off on an early run, then they got theirs. We're a tough team. The crowd was great, they had this place rocking, and we were able to pull it off."
Goran Dragic tallied a career-best 32 points on 10-of-13 shooting for the Suns, who have dropped five straight on the road and are 9-15 away from Phoenix this season. Steve Nash notched a career milestone, recording 15 points and 15 assists to become the eighth player to reach 8,000 career assists. He now has 8,013.
"I shot the ball well, especially in the first 30 minutes I was really hot," Dragic said. "In the end, we lost the game. It was a tough loss for us."
Channing Frye added 21 points in the loss, while Amare Stoudemire had 16.
Utah trailed by 17, 96-79, after Frye hit a three-pointer with 2:38 left in the third, but the Jazz began an incredible rally to eventually go in front.
The hosts ended the third quarter on a 12-0 run, including five points from Matthews. Boozer and Kirilenko each hit a pair of free throws in the final minute to get to within five, 96-91, at the outset of the fourth.
"We just couldn't get into our offense," Nash said. "They pushed us out, we had no penetration and we were just jacking up jump shots or turning it over."
The run extended to 16 consecutive points when Kirilenko's layup made it a one-point game in the first two minutes. Utah finally tied the game, 100-100, on a Matthews three with eight minutes to play.
Frye put the Suns back ahead by four, 106-102, on a three-pointer with 6:48 left, but the Jazz scored the next nine points, culminating on Matthews' third three of the game for a five-point advantage with 4:51 to go.
"We were a little bit more alive defensively (in the fourth quarter)," said Utah head coach Jerry Sloan. "I've kind of felt it coming, but I haven't seen it like that where they stuck together and really worked hard to try to help each other defend. They were alive and got in the passing lanes."
Dragic answered for Phoenix to get the visitors back to within two, but Utah responded with eight consecutive points, as Paul Millsap's 18-foot jumper with 2:31 showing on the clock made it 119-109 in favor of the home team.
From there, the Suns never got closer than seven.
The first quarter ended in a 24-24 tie, then the Suns got out to a 34-26 lead early in the second on a Jason Richardson three-pointer. The Jazz managed to whittle their deficit back to two, 43-41, on a Matthews layup, but Phoenix used a 13-6 run to push its lead to 56-47 on a Dragic trey with 2:41 left.
The lead grew to 69-58 at halftime.
The visitors maintained nearly a 10-point lead for the early portion of the third, and back-to-back three-pointers by Nash and Frye sandwiched around a Boozer jumper put the Suns ahead, 96-79, with 2:38 to play in the quarter.

hodachrome and I have recently completed two film soup swaps.. One roll started off in UK, and ended up in Japan and on finishing the roll, Hodaka cooked the film using this recipe here: http://www.lomography.com/magazine/tipster/2013/02/27/lets-cook-the-film-the-recipe-of-film-soup The other roll started off in Japan and ended up with me in the UK.. On completing the roll, I mixed together some boiled water with silica gel and washing detergent, and left it to cool a little. Then I went into my make-shift darkroom and pulled out the film from the canister. Next I flicked and dabbed the soup onto the exposed film. I waited for a few minutes and then rewound the film into the canister. Afterwards I went to the kitchen and dropped the film into just-boiled water, and after 5 minutes I transferred it into cold water for a minute. Then back in the darkroom I pulled the film out from the canister again and dried it with a hairdryer, and when done I rewound the film. The film was then developed at Asda, and scanned at The Vault in Brighton. We do not discuss what we have each taken photographs of, so the results are always a surprise..

I've had a very wet, cold, overcast summer in our coastal zone 6 southcentral Alaska. We've had a lot of rain over the last three weeks with 17" this last weekend topping it off. I'm getting a lot of yellow veining on lower leaves, a few with small brown spots ringed in yellow. Could this be excess water and cool temperatures, because they look like textbook virused dahlias. The plants seem healthy and are putting on gorgeous blooms, but their leaves are yellow along the veins (only lower leaves).
Thanks - Clay |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's not a virus if just the lower leaves have the yellow veining. It's actually normal for the lower leaves to yellow. A good rule of thumb is to remove the bottom 12 inches of leaves on the dalia plant. This promotes air circulation around the plant. |

Local transit routes connect to many bike trails.
The City of Santa Clarita is excited to provide additional travel opportunities to its avid bicycle commuters and our recreational cyclists. In keeping with the City's Healthy City initiative, beginning July 1st, all Santa Clarita Transit local buses will activate their bicycle racks. Santa Clarita local transit routes connect to many bike trails and the paseo systems around town.
"Bikes on Buses is a very popular program throughout the country, and we are optimistic that utilization of this travel option will become prevalent in our community as well," said Jeff O'Keefe, The City's new transit manager Local buses have either a two or three-bicycle rack system and it is on a first come, first serve use basis. Passengers will need to remove all loose articles from their bike prior to the bus' arrival at a stop. The minimum age for boarding a bicycle is 12 years old and able to show a student identification card.
Passengers need to inform the driver of their intent to board their bike so that the bus will be in park to allow no movement of the bus. Upon boarding, bicycle passengers will receive a "Bicycle Retrieval Card" as a reminder to take their bike when they leave the bus. This also informs the driver to put the bus in park for unloading the bike. When loading and unloading a bicycle be sure to stand near the curbside and in front of the bus and not into the traffic lane. Bus operators do not assist in loading or unloading bicycles. At the McBean Transfer Station, where it is not safe to ride your bike, please walk your bike across the pedestrian waiting area and not in the bus traffic lanes.
Please review the Rack 'n Roll video on loading/unloading bicycle available online at www.santaclaritatransit.com, or you may try your bicycle boarding techniques between 5p.m. and8 p.m. at the July 15 Concert in the Park held at Central Park. Brochures are also available online and by calling the City at 661-295-6328.
So grab your bike and then hop on board!

Anger With Game Content Lock Spurs Reaction From Studio Head Curt Shilling
it's Schilling -- and he's just kind of famous (908 comments)
First off, dude's name is Curt Schilling, not Shilling. 38 is a significant number -- it was the # he wore on his jersey when he pitched his teams to two world series titles.
Not that his time in MLB is pertinent, but come on -- at least identify the guy correctly so people know who the hell you're talking about.

An elderly woman was killed in a Hayward house fire Friday morning, a fire captain said.
Firefighters responded to a report of the fire in the 24800 block of Townsend Avenue shortly before 1 a.m., Capt. Don Nichelson said.
A husband and wife discovered the fire in the husband's bedroom and tried to put out the blaze without success, he said.
The couple escaped the home but the woman's wheelchair-bound aunt was still inside, Nichelson said.
Fire crews were able to rescue the elderly woman out of the home and tried to resuscitate her but she was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
The blaze was under control around 1:10 a.m., Nichelson said.
The man was transported to a hospital for chest pains while the woman did not suffer any injuries, according to Nichelson.
Two cats and two birds died in the fire, he said.
Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire, which may have been caused by an electrical issue, Nichelson said.

When I Grow Up . . . A Brief Biography
When she was in her late twenties, Bethany Wiggins finally decided what she wanted to do when she "grew up." It all started one fateful afternoon at her sister's house. Out of the blue Bethany's sister told her that she was going to try writing a book and asked Bethany if she also wanted to try. "All it takes," the sister explained, "is an hour a day of writing for one year, and by the end of that year, you will have a book."

Maid cafes bring up the moral question – is it subtle prostitution? Does it contribute to the degradation of the serving maids who learn that offering their "services" can lead to substantial financial gain? Do maid cafes really breed sorry losers who'd go as far as pay money for woman companionship that they are otherwise unable to acquire? Is it ok for underage girls to satisfy those who fetish over maids?
I was in a heated debate about this and it ended up going nowhere. You people do the rest.

Nice shots Peter - I'd have left out the snip of Beethoven's Symphony No 6 and had just the one piece of music for the whole video as the transition between the two pieces of music is awkward. It looks a great place. The aerial shots worked so well.

For just a moment, I was stunned.
It seemed so simple, so harmless: a lumpy mound of milk-white grits on a white plate. Grits — the ultimate comfort food. So poverty-simple and, like Britney Spears, so trash-gone-superstar. The American polenta, the best thing to happen to high-end food costs since wasabi mashed potatoes. Just about every chef cooks grits these days, and just about every chef cooks them poorly. This is outside of the South, of course, since nearly every chef there cooks them spectacularly well. But around the rest of the country, cooks seem consistently flummoxed by grits. They know all their buddies are cooking them, and they know they ought to cook them. They know that a whole bag of them — even a good bag — costs about a nickel. So they put grits on the menu and then proceed to do everything possible wrong to them. Yellow corn, white corn — doesn't matter. They don't understand the power of grits for absorbing, translating and subtly — oh, so subtly — altering the flavor of anything put close to them. This is the magic of grits — like a simple starch, only better. They cook them too long or too hard or too soft or too quickly. And then they top them with a sauce, the apex of foolishness. Because once cooked and plated, grits become recalcitrant. They refuse to absorb sauce, refuse to even mix well — becoming clotty and stained rather than blended, ugly and foul and (if any food can be) ill-tempered. Grits are tough. They have very specific ideas about their proper employment on the plate and will brook no fucking around.
I had good grits in New York City — shrimp grits at Bobby Flay's Bar Americain when Rebecca Weitzman was still cooking there. I could get good grits at a couple of places in New Mexico and, while employed in my last-ever cooking gig before coming here, got to know grits pretty well myself because I worked the night shift at an Albuquerque Waffle House, and one of my many responsibilities (along with tossing the drunks and cooking the hash browns and cleaning the grease traps) was fixing grits for the morning shift. These were plain grits — yellow corn, very cheap even by grit standards — and we did nothing to them but cook them. But even that was a process, like making perfect risotto. They needed to be rinsed and rinsed again. They needed to go into a hot pot with water; to boil and then be backed down; to be fed little sips of water here and there as they plumped and drank in the liquid and grew soft; to be buttered in the pot (or occasionally creamed, if I was feeling frisky); to be turned over and over again as delicately as a soufflé so that they didn't burn or stick.

I liked cooking grits. I screwed it up constantly, but I never minded starting over. It was something to do in the quiet hours between four and six in the morning — something to focus on. Sometimes my grits were good. Sometimes they were terrible. And since the day cook was a big Southern man with the classic, pear-shaped Southern sheriff body held up on skinny little legs, he knew good from bad and never hesitated to tell me which was which. Grits were the last real lesson I learned in the kitchens, the last bit of knowledge I took with me when I left.
And at Venue, I learned something new about grits. I learned how truly great they can be, how powerful, how dangerous.
The mound of white-corn grits was studded with preserved cherries, surrounded by a slick, golden tarn of maple-pork jus and topped by a giant portion of pork tenderloin, pan-seared, oven-finished, cut into huge whacks of beautiful porky goodness. But I went right for the grits because they looked so innocuous, like chunky clouds: white on white. I took a big forkful and crammed it into my mouth — where it immediately went off like I'd eaten a hand grenade.
Bacon. Concentrated essence of the concentrated essence of pork. These were bacon grits, made by a kitchen that understood implicitly what grits could be made to do if you followed the grits' rules and played to the grits' strength. Infused with bacon fat and bacon flavor and bacon's salty, earthy savor, this was like eating a pound of bacon in a single bite — the entirety of all that fat and all that flavor exploding inside my head with an almost audible boom that, had I not been conditioned to this kind of thing and prepared for it by years of rigorous professional training, might just as well have been my heart blowing up from joy.
Sure, the pork was good, and the expertly prepared maple jus had been added with a deft hand only after everything else was on the plate so as not to disrupt the balance — or sully the perfect whiteness of those amazing grits. The dried cherries were another smart addition, cutting the richness of the bacon and the weight of the white corn with a little zing of tart and sweet.

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (24 January 1776 – 25 June 1822), better known as E. T. A. Hoffmann, was a German Romantic author of fantasy and horror, a jurist, composer, music critic, draftsman and caricaturist. His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's famous opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffman appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which the famous ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler.
