Re: "Chiaroscuro" (Prophecy and Change)
It was a good character piece for Dax, by which I mean the conjoined being in its entirety, not just Ezri Dax. A rather unique and imaginative way to play around in the joined Trill psyche. Certainly memorable. And some of the little scenes were quite striking. The Starfleet officer, Romulan and Cardassian playing cards for knowledge, power and survival respectively (I think), only for Ezri to kick it over. It's also notable for being the first apperance of the Seleneans.

Re: "Chiaroscuro" (Prophecy and Change)
the idea was, basically, the creators of the device were attempting to ensure the reboot of the universe once it winds down. ACTIVATING the device prematurely would have erased the universe in order to reboot to the next one. Sort of like the GENESIS DEVICE on a universal scale.

National Identity Strategy Envisions a More Trustworthy Internet
Guest blog post by Leslie Harris, President and CEO of the Center for Democracy & Technology.
Today the Administration released an ambitious, long-term strategy document called the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). The Strategy puts forth a vision where individuals can choose to use a smaller number of secure, privacy-preserving, and convenient online identities. This would be a shift away from today's norm of numerous usernames, passwords, and online accounts scattered across the Web.
Importantly, the Administration has turned to the private sector to make this vision a reality. The Strategy is not a national ID program—in fact, it's not an ID "program" at all. It is a call for leadership and innovation from private companies. The government's role must now be to advocate for its citizens and to support the development of a fair and useful system.
Why should the American people care about a "strategy" for Internet identity?
First, a growing number of our Internet transactions require an identity. We're continually prompted to create new accounts to participate in online social networking, shopping, banking, and forums. Most of us have no idea how our identifying information will be used or shared. It certainly doesn't help that we have to offer a fresh set of information to every new service that comes along. Without a new approach, this trend will continue. We deserve better control over our identity and stronger assurances that it will not be misused. Innovation isn't slowing down; we have to catch up.

Infamous Noodle Kugel
Noodle kugel is a traditional Jewish European dish that can be served hot or cold. It is similar to the kugel that my grandfather ate in Poland and it helped remind him of the connection to his past home, aspecially since he lost most of his family in the Holocaust. (Sophie M, Lila's granddaughter)
1 12 oz, thin egg noodles
1 grated apple
3 eggs beaten
1 cup sugar
3/4 canola oil
3/4 cup orange juice
3 kbs matzah meal
*I do not add salt*
1/2 cinnamon
Boil noodles till tender. When slightly cool, add all ingredients together 9″ pan (spray with pam) Bake at 350 degrees for 3/4 hour or until top of noodles are brown.
Sprinkle top of noodle with a little sugar and cinnamon

Honey Ball Tower
Growing up in an Italian family Sunday dinners were a whole day affair. The meal began about noon (yea, dinner?) and ended around 6, generally with half the clan fast asleep in a lawn chair or at the table. If it was a "special dinner" celebrating a birthday or holiday, we would have this tower of honey goodness piled high with sprinkles and love. Only my grandmother has been able to get the consistency of the dough just right… the two generations since have been hard as rocks.

Chocolate Blueberry Energy Bars
1 cup fresh or soaked dried dates
1⁄4 cup almonds
1⁄4 cup blueberries
1⁄4 cup roasted carob powder (or cacao to make 100% raw)
1⁄4 cup ground flaxseed
1⁄4 cup hemp protein
1⁄4 cup unhulled sesame seeds
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1⁄2 tsp lemon zest
Sea salt to taste
1⁄2 cup sprouted or cooked buckwheat (optional)
1⁄2 cup frozen blueberries
Makes approx (12) 13⁄4 ounce bars
1) In a food processor, process all ingredients except buckwheat and frozen blueberries until desired texture is reached. If you prefer a uniformly smooth bar, process longer. If you would rather a bar with more crunch and texture, blend for less time. 2) Remove mixture from processor and put on a clean surface. Knead buckwheat and frozen berries into mixture by hand. 3)There are two ways to shape the bars:
To shape into balls: Use a tablespoon or your hands to scoop the mixture (however much you like to make one ball); roll between the palms of your hands To shape as bars: Flatten the mixture on the clean surface with your hands. Place plastic wrap over top; with a rolling pin, roll mixture to desired bar thickness. Cut mixture into bars. Alternatively, form mixture into a brick; cut as though slicing bread. As the bars dry, they become easier to handle
Can be stored in freezer because they will not freeze. Great refresher for hot days or post-workout.

REI Great Star
4-star: 3
3-star: 1
2-star: 1
1-star: 0
I bought this pack around '95 and have used it on…
Design: Extended Trip Internal Frame Backpack
Size: 6200 cu. in.
Number of Pockets: 0
Max. Load Carried: 65 lb.
Height of Owner: 6'2"
Price Paid: $150
I bought this pack around '95 and have used it on various trips since then, carrying as much as 60lbs. This is the only pack I've ever owned so I don't have much to compare it to, but it is an OK pack. Like many others, one of the reasons I bought this pack is because it was cheap. The other reason was because it is BIG, not only volume-wise but fit-wise. I'm a big guy (22+ torso, 58" chest, 42" waist) and at the time it was the only pack in the REI store that fit me, so I really didn't have much choice in that respect.
It has generally been serviceable but there a few issues with the design. The hip belt is probably the biggest negative, it needs to be tightened on a regular basis. The same goes for the belt on the "lumbar pack". It's a nice feature to have the fanny pack, but for me it has been totally useless. I simply can't tighten the belt enough to keep the fanny pack from sliding down. It should really have some type of anti-slip coating to work properly. I've also had problems with stability if the pack has alot of weight in it.
Overall, I think its an average pack, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is going to regularly carry large loads on long treks.
I recently carried the Great Star on a 17-day trip…
Design: Internal Frame
Size: 6200
Number of Pockets: 3
Max. Load Carried: 48 lbs
Height of Owner: 6'2"
Price Paid: US $210
I recently carried the Great Star on a 17-day trip on Colorado's Continental Divide Trail (CDT). The pack performed well, and was plenty big for any sensible hiker.
The quality of the pack is excellent, it has the features of packs costing $100 more. This includes: mesh bottle pockets, removable fanny pack; hydration bladder pocket; full panel loading capability; easy adjustment; well padded harness and hip belt. The workmanship and material were flawless; and appear to be designed to last for years.
For the money the Great Star is the best price performer going.
Purchased this pack after researching several months.
Price Paid: $175
Purchased this pack after researching several months. I did a 4 day trek through the James Peak Wilderness, CO carrying about 47 pounds. The pack held up very well. We were rained on every day, and the pack kept everything dry.

Great pack for the price. Plenty of room for the long trips. It treated me well for seven rainy days in the Catskills and multiple other trips. It may be an overkill for weekend trips. Plenty of adjustment straps to customize the fit. The one complaint concerns the size of the hip belt. It doesn't cinch down to fit my 32" waist too well.

Design: Internal
Size: 6,300

In a nutshell, this pack is a cheap imitation of a standard pack. It's massive but its limitations outweigh its functionality.
Some negative features: 1) Bottom lash strap covers the water bottle holder; 2) The plastic on the hipbelt is worthless and can affect legs if hiking steep terrain; 3) Extension from lumbar area seems too great, so load doesn't feel stable; 4) made in 3rd world.
Some +'s: 1) Cheap and 2) REI will take it back if you hate it.

I got this backpack at an anniversary sale for a great price! this monster pack fit even a small lad like myself. the lack of a sleeping bag compartment was not a problem for me as i use a stuff sack. i love the lack of frills...simplicity is what hiking is all about!
This is a great backpack for the price. The straps…

Max. Load Carried: 65 LBS.
Height of Owner: 5' 10"
Price Paid: $210
This is a great backpack for the price. The straps are completely adjustable to match different torsos and the feel with heavy loads is comparable to more expensive packs. I took it for a long weekend and had plenty of room to carry the extra gear my family wanted to bring. I recommend the pack for its versatility. You can use the outside straps to compress the load regardless of what you bring. It is a top loading pack with front zipper access which makes it convenient when you need to get something at the bottom of the pack. Great for weekends or weeks.

Max. Load Carried: 65lb
Height of Owner: 6 ft, 2 in

This pack is incredible. it has a great suspension system and plenty of adjustments for a great fit and a stable pack. i have a long torso and it fits me fine. my load lifters are more than the suggested 20 degrees high. the adjustments can fit any tall person. i've seen better quality but this pack will still takes many years of hard use before it starts to give up.
you can get everything into this pack. it will even accomodate some things outside of it. access to your gear is easy as well--it is top loading but also has access from the front. for those who don't need 6000+cu.in. this bag can scrunch down to hold smaller loads. those of you that require over 6000 cu.in., you have too much stuff. this pack is definitely worth looking at. it sure beats that external frame Jansport i've been using the last eight years.

That sound you hear? It's the marble ceiling of government cracking to allow the first female Speaker of the House of Representative of the United States of America to take her place at the podium. Congratulations to Nancy Pelosi and by extension to all American women! It was inevitable that one day a woman would be elected to the position that is third in succession to the Presidency. And today is that day! Finally!
There were 22 women in the House when Pelosi was first elected to her California district in 1987. Today there are a record 71 female representatives.

If only he had just kept to the nice thoughts about Betty Ford, but no, he had to take a swipe at the new Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and the new majority party. In "He says..." the way Bill Roe tells the tale (which version of course omits Mrs. Ford's marching for the Equal Rights Amendment and her support for reproductive rights, both of which were important to HER), while Mrs.

Listening to Anderson Cooper, scion of the Vanderbilt robber barons fergoshsake, reporting about Oprah Winfrey, one of the richest women in the world fergoshsake, and her new $40 million school in South Africa, I couldn't help thinking of the improbability of it.
Here in one story is what makes the USA so different from any other country: class mobility. Oprah talks about poverty and what poverty tells people about themselves, but she demonstrates that it is possible to go from the basement of economic class to the penthouse in one generation, without bloodshed.

...but they're not alone. Having heard just the end of a very weird conversation between Mary Matalin (formerly of VP Cheney's office) and Don Imus this morning, I really wondered about her mental health. Turns out she made TWO phone calls to his show, and the purpose, I guess, was to swat at the swarm of icky things that have come out in the I.Lewis ("Scooter") Libby perjury trial. But the spin and distortion aren't working any more, and she just sounds unglued.

Have we ever discussed prenuptial agreements? (I tried to search and got "Access Denied" so please forgive me if we've already gone over this.)
Anyway, what I'm wondering is how people feel about prenups. Would you sign one? Would you ask for one? Would someone's request for a prenup kill that lovin' feeling, especially if it were very close to the wedding? Would you trust someone who refused to sign a prenup? One lawyer or two?

Dear Mr. Boehner:
I thought you'd like to know that Tuskegee, as in Tuskegee Airmen, doesn't rhyme with squeegee, so that the next time you honor these heroes, your speech will reflect the care and attention to detail that these men deserve. I realize that it's unlikely an event like this, which was long overdue, will be repeated in any of our lifetimes, but at least now you'll be prepared.
Sincerely, Peach Blossom

April is Autism Awareness Month.
Personally, I have very little experience with the disorder and none of it is intimate. I used to work at a drop-in center for street people and suspect that some of them might have been afflicted, and then there was a neighbor child who had been diagnosed. But that's about it.
I've read about controversies in causality, but I had no idea that the prevalence of autism in kids had recently increased from 1 in 166 to 1 in 150.

4 "I thought this was a party. LET'S DANCE!"farnzy | 17/06/2008 | See all farnzy's reviews (164)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Kevin Bacon takes on small town America with the power of dance! Aided by a brick-sized walkman and a Kenny Loggins title song, our light footed rebel pouts, struts, and bangs surfaces hard with his hands to bring bad Eighties dancing to a bunch of hicks. While the rest of the world were transfixed by breakdancing, this Wayne Sleep is dragging his new friends kicking and screaming into the Fifties.Even better our Kev plays chicken with tractors, smokes, and dances out his anger in beautifully lit factories; of course smashing against the hood of his car while drinking a brew to prove how angry he is.Still Kev beats the authorities with the aid of Sarah Jessica Parker(with even less style than she has now), the girl from Fame, and Chris Penn who he teaches to dance in an hilarious montage. And what does he succeed in winning for the young teens? A party so hideous your nan would shun it.So is it any good? Of course it is-a guilty pleasure to die for. Let's Hear It For The Boy!

5 Footloose - it's so 1984waftycrank | 25/01/2009 | See all waftycrank's reviews (1)What can I say? If you're a child of the '80s and remember seeing this for the first time at the cinema or (like me) a couple of years later on video, this DVD is important for nostalgic purposes. This obviously appeals to 30-something women because of the now dated dance scenes, and I defy anyone falling into that category to resist wanting to watch the whole thing again when the credits start rolling at the end.In response to a previous review, there is a special edition version of Footloose but it's only available from America. Luckily, thanks to my obsession with this film and a thoughtful husband, I own one!

Dynegy Inc. (DYN:US) and RRI Energy Inc. led gains among U.S. independent power producers on signs that the worst may be over for the American economy.
Manufacturing in the U.S. shrank less than forecast in May, spurred by the first gain in new orders since the recession began, the Institute for Supply Management said today. The possibility that an improving economy may boost demand also pushed up natural-gas prices.
Shares of Houston-based Dynegy added 29 cents, or 14 percent, to $2.30 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. RRI rose 13 percent, and Mirant Corp. advanced 6.3 percent.
"Risk aversion is getting diminished, people are hoping the economy is going to recover soon," Angie Storozynski, an analyst at Macquarie Capital USA Inc. in New York, said in a telephone interview.
Natural gas for July delivery climbed 41.3 cents, or 11 percent, to $4.248 per million British thermal units at the 2:30 p.m. close of floor trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Despite its small size and light weight, the 500 doesn't feel small from behind the wheel. You'd certainly never call it an econobox-it's more like a dime-size high-end fashion statement. The most obvious clue that you're driving a car so diminutive is the driving position, which keeps your feet close to your body. There's abundant headroom, though, and the relatively high seat and low dash give the driver a great, commanding view of the outside. The rear seats, replete with pill-shaped headrests to match the fronts, are far better to look at than to sit on, but four adults can fit in the 500 in a pinch. And we know how Italians love to pinch.
There are thoughtful and artful details everywhere-from the concentric gauges to the body-colored dash insert. At night, every one of the 500's buttons and displays is illuminated in exactly the same shade of amber. That's a level of detail that the Fiat of our collective memory would never get right-and some of today's best car companies can't manage. If the 500 has one ergonomic foible, it's that the key is painfully difficult to insert. As a Mafia chase car, you'd be better off in something else, lest you wind up getting whacked while fumbling with your ignition key.
Ah, back to the stereotypes. That was a joke, of course, but there is an almost Mafia-like code of silence among the media where Fiat's acquisition of Chrysler is concerned. It seems we're all thinking it, but we're afraid to say it: how is this ever supposed to work? The two companies' products are too different. The markets are too different. No American has ever gotten out of a Fiat Grande Punto and thought, "Man, that'd make a great subcompact Dodge." And no Italian has ever driven a Sebring convertible and thought it would look good parked in front of the Trevi Fountain.
Then there's the 500. Even after fourteen hours behind the wheel in miserable Manhattan traffic, I want one, badly. Almost everyone we spoke to wants one, too, just because of the way it looks. Obviously, there's little chance that the little Fiat will wind up on our country's best-seller list; differences in geography and culture and tastes prevent that. But to the group of people who don't find Pizza Hut's stuffed-crust pepperoni all that appealing, it's nice to know that a thin-crust, Neapolitan, wood-fired pizza Margherita is available.
And even if the whole Chrysler/Fiat thing makes no sense, as these little cars assimilate into mainstream American car culture, we'll look back at this moment as the start of a new Italian car culture-one where Tony doesn't have to fix anything and where we're finally getting a taste of the delicacies that real Italians have been enjoying all along.

Have you noticed how the housing bubble is affecting countries all over the world? Have you noticed how almost all countries are either almost bankrupt or the lender countries will go bankrupt if the debtor countries default.
The banking system of the world is corrupt and all they want to do is becomeing more rich, and our crooked politicians want us working stiffs to pay for it, even though they are helping them.
Maybe it is time for a reset of the world economy. Bring charges around the world against those that are trying to play God and those assisting them. Finally we as a people need to get our heads out of the sand and stand up for ourselves around the world.
If we continue to kick this can down the road alot of people are going to die from starvation and live in shacks. Crime will be rampant as people who cannot feed their families band together to take from those that do have food and fuel.
Hell go take a look at Liberia they are eating people as well. A civilized country that has to eat people to survive in todays world. This is coming to a country near you in the future if we do not put a stop to the fleecing of the people.

Since we had so much fun with Erin's photo yesterday (I agree, Helen, we should make this a regular thing) I thought maybe I could get some cute/funny ideas for this photo! This is from Sophie's 4 month portraits and to me she looks like an old, bald man with a beer belly hanging out on the beach. I even considered photoshopping a beer can in her hand, but that would be crossing the line, dontchya think? LOL! (I wouldn't really...)
So, any ideas?

Santa Rita Residence
This compact corner lot was transformed from a decrepit brick patio and failing lawn to a lush, intimate space for dining and relaxation. With a soothing color palette of only green and white, the plantings offer an incredible variety of textures and seasonal blooms. The paving complements the plantings with warm hues that coordinate with the remaining brick walkway. Laying out the spaces on the diagonal improves views from indoors and out, and creates the illusion of added space in the yard.
Front Fountain Urn
Nestled among lush plantings near the home's entry, this recirculating fountain provides an architectural accent and masks the sound of passing traffic.

Front Gate and Gravel Path
An informal pathway of 'Salmon Bay' gravel connects peripheral spaces with the main brick walkway. Path lighting increases safety, while accent lights illuminate specimen trees and fountains.

The plantings fulfilled the homeowner's request for a calm, green-and-white palette. Even without a wide variety of flower colors, the textures and forms of the plants provide contrast and wonderful variations throughout every season.

Custom Fountain
A fountain was custom-designed to provide a perfectly scaled focal point and pleasing sound at the dining patio. "Matchsticks" of slate were mortared over a concrete core, with a recirculating pump hidden in the basin beneath.

We're in the midst of a whole house reno, and we've gotten to paiting time finally! Happy about the progress, but stressed about picking a whole house full of paint.
One room that has me stumped is the master bedroom. The furniture is antique, spoon-carved, golden oak. The set is much too fussy and the wrong color for my taste now, but it's a family set that we plan to keep. It's expensive and great quality, just not my current style of clean and simple lines. The golden/orangey undertones don't play well with the grays and greiges paints I like. I don't like the gold paint colors I've seen that I know would look good with the furniture. The exact color of the furniture is hard to capture on camera. Close up of the headboard Footboard Footboard close-up I've never intentionally painted a room white before. I love the look of white room pictures I've seen online though. Maybe this is the room to try? I just don't it to end up too stark and hotel-like. Maybe BM White Dove or Cotton Balls? Please help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Many people with golden oak furniture paint their walls green. Sage or Olive green is best... the green balances the orange tones of oak beautifully. Green is not a color that most people might choose, but it's a favorite for people who have oak furniture or cabinets. It would look really rich against your beautiful oak... |
I agree with mclark. Almost any green will look nice with the oak. I don't think white is the answer in this case. |

We have golden oak furniture in our MB as well. I bought the set right out of college and spent a good chunk of change on it. Since it's in perfect shape (and well built), I cannot justify getting rid of it. The color we chose for the walls is SW Relaxed Khaki. Most of the time it looks green, other times it looks, well...khaki. We were looking for something neutral that wasn't too green and I really like the color. Sorry I don't have a picture. This is a small pic from the SW web site. It looks much greener on our walls. We have DH's grandparent's old bedroom set in our spare bedroom. I think it's oak; it's got a lot of scrolls and ornate carvings in it. We have SW Blonde in that room and I too think that color works well with the oak. |

I agree, the greens above would look really great. Other BM creamy white colors you might want to look at could be Mascarpone or Mayonnaise. |
Breezy, I think your bed is beautiful. I have an antique oak dresser and my bedrooms have been light greeny-blues or periwinkle blue in my last two houses, and I thought those both worked well. Our current house had a green master when we bought it and I wanted to change it but not do the same blues I've had for 15 years. So I recently painted it pale gold... I'll be repainting it again next weekend because the gold color doesn't look great with the dresser or with our bronze-tone metal bed. I'm going back to blue. |
Green. Definitely green. I love that first color posted. Very romantic, I think. |
On my monitor the upper right corner of your last footboard pic is sitting in a showdow which is green. Sort of a teal green. Maybe your's shows this too. If so it gives you a good idea of how your wonderful furniture might look like with the green. I once painted my master a hunter's green/teal and the antique oak looked beautiful in the room. More than it had in years. Color brought out the wood's beauty. Your set is beautiful. |
Big fan of the green! Our furniture is similar in color, and years ago a friend/designer picked out a beautiful butterscotch color that really complimented the oak. I thought it would be too much, but it was gorgeous. Now I wish I had made note of that paint color - it was one of those that really worked and wasn't "off" in any way. Like the perfect green I'm still striving for in my family room .... or the right pumpkin in my office .... |
I don't have a color name, but if you can match the sage green Wedgwood Jasperware, it would look terrific. The color is restful, which is appropriate for a bedroom, and goes beautifully with just about everything. |
I love the right historic aqua w/ oak. One time I painted my DR F&B Green Blue. I randomnly leaned DS's Golden Oak Canonball Beds up against the dr wall after bringing them home and thought "WOW!". BTW - what a fantastic, fantastic bed! |
I so agree about choosing green. Suggestion: get a fan deck from paint store ( or color chips) and hold up various greens next to the wood. Get samples of a few of your favs and paint them on a sample board to hold up on the wall next to furniture. I can definitely see some of the BM historical greens with your pretty oak. |

We have Lexington dark oak victorian style bedroom furniture, so I definitely feel your pain trying to choose a complentary paint color. Our bedroom was painted a version of off white for quite a few years, took a back seat to other rooms mainly because I really couldn't find a paint color I liked that would look good with the dark oak. When I used the SW Blonde in my LR/DR, I painted a a bit in our MBR to try it with our furniture. Loved how worked with our furniture, so problem solved as to what color for our master. The Blonde seems to be a completely different color in our MBR than in our LR/DR, mainly due to different lighting. If you don't want to go with the gold tones, I would try a sample of the green as pictured in mclarke's post. That green color was one of the many colors we sampled for our LR/DR before going with SW Blonde. Please post a pic when you paint. Would love to see what you choose. |
A very greyed-down blue would look pretty, too, with that color of wood. (Gorgeous furniture, btw, although I can relate to wanting something with cleaner lines.) Or a deep color would be striking. We went with BM's Narragansett Green in our MB (furniture is a similar tone to yours); it's a very dark, rich blue with green undertones, or green with blue undertones, depending on how you look at it. With white bedding it is really striking. I don't have an up-to-date picture or I'd post one. |
I love your bed and if it were mine, I want to make it the *star* of the room. I'd paint the walls a slightly creamy white and dress the bed in crisp white linens with a simple down comforter. |
Our first home office was a green Coronado paint ... (big oak desk, pine bookcase, pine shutters on the windows, red oak floors). Current office is BM Misted Green with the same furniture and floors. |
Pauline - sounds heavenly! |
"Pauline - sounds heavenly!" Ditto! Or....how would BM baby turtle look??? |
Natal..OT, but if you are still using a PC tower it warms my heart. I know laptops are now stacked with more powerful boards, but can't give my tower up. Along with a 42" screen for graphics. Really like the color of your office. And the bookcase/buffet. Those green red drawers... |

Hi, I'm in northern Passaic county NJ and am looking for some local people who are interested in starting a garden club. There are no clubs in my town or the surrounding towns. I am talking about the Riverdale, Butler, Bloomingdale nj area. Any interest? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am in Pequannock. What did you have in mind? |
I am not really sure. We have a club starting here in Bloomingdale but it is more concentrated on town garden areas. I just thought something casual at first, a group of people interested in getting together to share information and perhaps visit some local gardens. I have never been part of a garden club so I really don't know how the others work. Any ideas? |
